Everyone exhaled a few turbid breaths, and they were speechless.

"That prince is in Thang Long City, we can't kill it and rob it." Su Zhong said angrily.

"Although Li Yue people are not powerful, but with less than two thousand of us, it is too difficult to hit Li Yue Wangcheng. Even if we enter the royal city, we will not be able to find the prince unless the royal city is destroyed. Pan Cheng was also in a very unhappy mood, and the battle exploits he had finally made were gone, and the Privy Council was too unreasonable.

"Don't say it's useless. I have not been idle in Dongxing Town these days, as far as I know, from Dongxing Town to the west, if you take the sea route, you can reach Li Yue in two days, and it is no more than two hundred miles from Li Yue's royal city to the sea, if we secretly send a team of people to sneak into the royal city, it is not impossible to quietly capture the prince back. "Luo Cong calmed down first, in these few battles, he has not been able to fight with the enemy, and he has not made many meritorious achievements, this time he must seize the opportunity no matter what.

"It's light to say, do you know where Li Yue Wangcheng is? Where's the prince? "Su Zhong is angry.

"I don't know if I'm going to look for it? Prison army, I think it's feasible, the clothes of the people in this place are not much different from Li Yue, if we change into clothes, they shouldn't find out. Luo Cong looked at Yang Congyi, if no one went, he would go to grab this first skill.

Yang Congyi didn't respond to Luo Cong, but said, "Yao Chang, what do you say?" How should this errand be done? ”

Yao Chang replied: "This errand is really difficult, we are not far from Li Yue, but we are not close to their royal city, it is definitely not possible to send a large team of people over, the target is too big, as soon as we reach the border, we will be discovered, even if we reach Li Yue, it will be difficult to move an inch." I think Luo Cong's idea has merit, and for now, I can only try it, but ten days is obviously too short, and it is better to have a grace period of one month. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go." After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he asked, "Do any of you know a person named Shi Xing?" ”

Yao Chang said: "I seem to have heard of such a person, is it from Xuanwei Army?" "I want to think about it, but I can't remember who it is.

"Yes, the people of Xuanwei Army, you are not impressed?" Yang Congyi asked again.

"Is it Shi Xing, who has been the captain of the Qiantang Gate in Lin'an City? I seem to have some impression of him, he trained very hard in the Xuanwei Army, and once I got up in the middle of the night to see that he was still practicing guns outside the camp, and I trained him severely. I haven't seen him since I went to sea the year before last, how can adults remember him? Luo Cong suddenly said this.

"Oh, you know Shi Xing?" Yang Congyi's eyes lit up and he looked at Luo Cong.

Luo Cong said with a smile: "I don't know him, it's just that when he was training in Changguo, he performed more prominently in the army, and I had contact with him a few times, so I know a little better." ”

"Would you still recognize him if he were standing in front of you?" Yang Congyi asked again.

Luo Cong replied with some hesitation: "It should be okay, he is a dull person, not very old, but he is always preoccupied." Now that I think about it, I am very impressed with him. ”

"Okay, if you can recognize it." Then Yang Congyi took out a simple map and unfolded it on the table, explaining: "Li Yue, who was sent as an envoy before, has some understanding of the geography of the mountains and rivers there. You see, this Thang Long City is indeed some distance from the east coast, about two hundred li, but the terrain of the entire Li Yue Kingdom is high in the west and low in the east, and there are many rivers, especially Thang Long City, there are two big rivers flowing through the city and flowing into the sea in the east. Let's not talk about how to enter Thang Long City, let's talk about how to leave, once we succeed, to the north are mountains, the distance is far away, we can't take the land route, to the East River network is dense, we can only take a boat like the sea. ”

"There can't be a big boat on the river, and we can't get a lot of boats, which determines that the number of people we can return will not exceed fifty, and a boat that can seat fifty people is not a small boat, and it is difficult to say whether it can be found. Therefore, the number of people must be lowered, preferably no more than twenty people, and the ships they get are disguised as merchant ships or cargo ships, only in this way can the ship be able to travel hundreds of miles east from Thang Long City into the sea. Yang Congyi looked at them after speaking.

"What do you mean by the overseer, we can't have more than twenty people entering Thang Long City?" Yao Chang asked in surprise.

"No, not twenty, fifteen at most, preferably no more than ten." After Yang Congyi said this, everyone was even more shocked.

"Then where did these ten people enter Li Yue, and where did they enter Shenglong City?" Yang Congyi pointed to Hejing on the map, and continued: "This place, once Jingzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, we stayed here for a long time before the envoy, and it is hundreds of miles away from Thang Long City, but the time is limited, so we can't land from here." ”

Moving his finger up, he said: "You can land here, this place is also in the south, it is only more than two hundred miles away from Thang Long City, there are no mountains and not too many rivers along the way, ten people can definitely reach Thang Long City in three days." As for what to do after arriving in Thang Long City, it is not something that can be discussed now. ”

"Who wants to lead the team deep into Li Yuesheng Dragon City?" Yang Congyi's words changed and he suddenly asked.

Everyone was speechless, ten people went deep behind enemy lines, once exposed, there was absolutely no reason to come back alive, and this time it was basically to die.

"Or I'll go." Luo Cong gritted his teeth and asked.

"Okay, Luo Cong, I'll leave this errand to you, and I'll talk to you about it later." Then he said: "Once Luo Cong leads people to land, it will be necessary for the Xuanwei army to land in Ha Jing and take Ha Jing City, as long as there is some panic in Thang Long City, they will have some more confidence in capturing the fleeing prince." Su Zhong gave you two battalions of the Xuanwei Army, and Hejing City will be handed over to you, right? ”

Su Zhong replied disdainfully: "The small Hejing City, where can I use two battalions of people, I can take it down with one battalion of people." ”

Yang Congyi glanced at Su Zhong and said: "Don't be careless, you can easily capture it last time, but this time it may not be, Hejing City is related to the success or failure of Shenglong City, if you can't complete the task, the military law will deal with it!" ”

"Yes, guaranteed." Only then did Su Zhong cheer up.

"Pan Cheng, you take a ship south to occupy the city, assist Zhang Biao in dragging the army on the southern border of Li Yueguo, and buy time for Su Zhong to consolidate Jingzhou, so as not to suffer the enemy on his back."

Pan Cheng didn't hesitate much, and immediately replied: "Yes, follow the dispatch of the prison army." ”

"Yao Chang, this time you will take two hundred people to stay in Dongxing Town."

Yao Chang only said: "Yes." ”

"In addition, before the Xuanwei Army leaves Dongxing Town, it is not allowed to tell the sixth person about the plans and movements of the Xuanwei Army. Be sure to pay attention to secrecy, there are likely to be Li Yue people in Dongxing Town. After arranging everything, Yang Congyi said a few more words very cautiously.

Everyone said yes.

"Su Zhong and Pan Cheng, you should quickly go and prepare, put enough military resources and ordnance on the warship and sea, and prepare for departure. Yao Chang, you send someone back to Qinzhou and bring the remaining warships to Dongxing Town. ”

The three of them were ordered to leave, leaving only Yang Congyi and Luo Cong.

"The last time the Xuanwei army went to Li Yue, I left twenty or thirty people there, most of them went to Thang Long City, led by Shi Xing, since you know him, when you arrive in Thang Long City, after finding him, how to act, listen to his command."

Later, Yang Congyi told him how to contact Shi Xing, how to evacuate after the matter was completed, where to evacuate, and how to get in touch with the warships waiting at sea, so that he could keep it in mind.

After listening to Luo Cong's retelling, he asked him to go back to select people, and assigned Zhang Liu to him, and went to Shenglong City with him.

Early the next morning, Pan Cheng took 200 people on a sea boat with all the sails open, and sailed towards the city of Zhancheng, day and night.

In the afternoon of the same day, Su Zhong took a thousand Xuanwei troops on three sea ships and four warships, sailed together, and sailed straight south, heading in the direction of Li Yue Hejing.

At the same time, Yang Congyi led more than 100 Xuanwei troops to leave the port on a warship with Luo Cong and Zhang Liu and headed for the southern sea.

A day and a half later, Yang Congyi's warship docked on a deserted beach, and no one could say exactly where it was.

Yang Congyi sent Luo Cong and his party off the bow of the boat, and after a little advice, he quickly left the shore and gradually disappeared into the sea.

"General, where is this? What are we doing here? Looking at the desolate and overgrown tidal flats, some sergeants couldn't help but be curious.

"Don't ask so much, don't talk too much on the road, let's go." Luo Cong still did not tell the selected sergeants about their mission for this trip.

Zhang Liu came to Li Yue, although Yang Congyi did not tell him where to go and what to do, but he told him separately that when he arrived at the destination, he would listen to Luo Cong's arrangement and assist him in completing the task.

A group of ten people quickly left the beach in the clothes of ordinary people in Dongxing Town and headed north.

Dongxing is very close to Li Yue, and there are many similarities in customs and life, so they appear in Li Yue in this costume, and unless they pay special attention, they will not find any problems.

After walking along the trail for half a day, and after crossing several small rivers, a town appeared in front of me.

Luo Cong originally wanted to find out where this was, but he was worried that the language barrier would arouse Li Yueren's suspicions, so he could only go around the city and continue north.

It was really difficult to cross the river hundreds of feet wide, so they could only bite the bullet, go to the ferry, and take out ten copper coins and give them to the boatman.

Seeing that they were outnumbered, and that they were carrying self-defense weapons, the boatman did not dare to ask questions without saying a word, so he untied the noose that fixed the boat, rowed away.

After getting off the boat, Luo Cong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and led people away.

After that, they let go of their courage to go on the main road, and when they encountered the river, they directly gave money to cross the river, and the road was smooth, and the speed of the march was repeatedly accelerated, but they never dared to enter the city easily, and there were many people in the city, and there might be accidents.

In this way, they traveled by day and slept in the wilderness by night, for three days in a row, walking for an unknown number of hundreds of miles, bypassing many small towns.

On this morning, as they walked, a city appeared in their field of vision, and they looked at the high walls, which were obviously very different from the previous small city.

Luo Cong couldn't help but be overjoyed, could this be Thang Long City?
