Di Qing stood on the deck and watched the drills of these naval officers below, although in the eyes of many people, the performance of these naval officers was already quite good, but Di Qing shook his head secretly in his eyes, because the training time of these people was still too short, and they had to be invisible, and a newly established army like the navy could not be called elite soldiers before seeing blood.

Just two months ago, Di Qing was still stationed in Gubeikou blowing a cold wind, but he didn't expect that in just two months, he ran to Vietnam, a barbarian land, to command the naval officer training, compared to the cold wind in Liaodong, here is the summer heat, and he even has to be shirtless at noon to feel a little cool breeze.

Thinking of the completely different situation before and after these two months, Di Qing couldn't help but feel like he was in a dream, two months ago he received an order from the imperial court, ordering him to be temporarily transferred to the navy, responsible for commanding the navy to fight on land, Di Qing has not yet figured out the situation, he was stationed in the navy, along the way he was also seasick for a long time, and finally finally got used to it.

"Brother Di, you are really amazing, these boys have been in your hands for less than a month, and they are already quite disciplined, which really makes Wang admire!" At this moment, I saw a short middle-aged man walking over, and when he saw Di Qing, he immediately smiled and said, This middle-aged man's name is Wang Dong, and he is the commander of this navy.

"Commander Wang is polite, but these boys just look good, if they really go to the battlefield, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain the formation if they can't hold on for a moment!" Di Qing still shook his head at this time and said.

Di Qing now knew that the task he was sent to the navy was to attack the Li Dynasty, and he had no impression of this small country in the south at all, and the navy in his hands was all recruits, which made him a little unoptimistic about this expedition, after all, leading a group of recruits to attack a country was a little unreliable.

"Brother Di, don't think that all enemies are as elite as the Liao army, I have seen the army of the Li Dynasty, at most, it is more ferocious than ordinary people, and there is no rule in the war, so as long as our army can exert thirty percent of its combat effectiveness, I think this time it will definitely win!" Commander Wang laughed again.

Commander Wang knew what Di Qing was worried about, but he had served in Guangzhou before, and he had also seen the sailors of the Li Dynasty, if it weren't for the fact that the army in the south was too corrupt, I am afraid that there would be no need to mobilize their navy at all, and he could directly send local garrisons to exterminate the Li Dynasty.

"Oh? Commander Wang, can you tell me more about the Li Dynasty? Di Qing also immediately asked when he heard this, this time he and Wang Commander were cooperating, the other party was responsible for commanding the battle at sea, and he was responsible for commanding the battle on land, the two sides were not subordinate to each other, but Di Qing, as a general, did not dare to underestimate any enemy, and he was also collecting intelligence about the Li Dynasty along the way.

"No problem, the current emperor of the Li Dynasty is called Li Foma, this person is quite heroic, some time ago he sent troops from the sea and raided the port of the Champa people, and the king of Champa was killed by the Li Dynasty's army without defense, which made the Champa army collapse quickly......"

Commander Wang did not hide his secrets, and now he also told him in detail about his understanding of the Li Dynasty, now he and Di Qing are people in the same boat, if this attack on the Li Dynasty fails, then both of them will be unlucky, and Di Qing is an army general, this time it is only temporarily seconded, and after this battle, the other party will leave, so the two do not have any conflict of interest, and they get along quite well during this time.

Di Qing listened very carefully, although he had heard many things before, but he still didn't dare to be careless, because it was also the first time for him to command an army in a place like the Li Dynasty, first, he was not familiar with the terrain and climate, and secondly, he didn't know the enemy, any carelessness could cause the failure of this attack, and for the proud Di Qing, this was absolutely not allowed.

Just when Di Qing was chatting with Commander Wang, another person suddenly came over, and I saw this thirty or forty-year-old appearance, quite tall, but very thin, with a pair of triangular eyes on his slender face, and he looked uncomfortable.

"Why is Envoy Liu here, is there any news from Li Chao's side?" Seeing this tall and thin middle-aged man, Commander Wang immediately stopped and greeted the other party with a smile, this person is the envoy of this trip, responsible for giving Li Chao an edict to reprimand, but it is said that this envoy Liu is from the Imperial City Division, which is a place that people hate ghosts, if it is not for this trip, Commander Wang is not willing to have too much intersection with the other party.

"Commander Wang is worthy of being a general recommended by the Marquis of Dingbei, and he is really shrewd, and he even guessed the intention of the lower official at once!" I saw this envoy Liu smile at Commander Wang, but although he had no malicious intent, for some reason there was always a gloomy smile in his smile, which made people shudder.

"Ahem, Envoy Liu is polite, I don't know what Li Chao's reply is?" Commander Wang coughed dryly.

Speaking of which, the reason why this Wang commander was able to take charge of the navy was also thanks to Li Zhang's recommendation, when Li Zhang went to Guangzhou, he found that the Guangzhou naval division was stronger than other places, especially the naval division under the Wang commander, who was even more diligent in training, and had repeatedly cleared pirates, and at that time Wang was only a small battalion commander, Li Zhang saw that he was a talent, so when building the navy, he was specially transferred from Guangzhou, and was promoted two levels to take charge of this navy.

"Li Foma sent someone to reply, saying that they were coming to the port to meet the holy decree, but they had objections to the etiquette and wanted to cancel the kneeling ceremony!" Envoy Liu didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly told Li Foma's reply at the moment.

"Hehe, sure enough, the little Li Chao even dared to be arrogant, he didn't know how to write dead words!" Commander Wang also sneered when he heard this, although he served in Guangzhou, but his hometown is Qinzhou, close to the Li Dynasty, and he had witnessed the brutality of the Li Dynasty army when he was a teenager, when he was too young to go into battle to kill the enemy, but that hatred has never been forgotten.

"General Di, in three days, Li Foma will lead the ministers to come, if there is a surprise attack at that time, how sure do you think you will take Li Foma?" Envoy Liu turned his head to look at Di Qing at this time and asked, although it was Di Qing and Wang who commanded the envoys to lead the troops this time, but this envoy Liu had the right to supervise the army, so he also had the right to ask questions about such a use of troops.
