Chapter 935: Striking the West (2)

The Ping Navy is actually just a small county town, but Zhao Kuangyin in order to appease Fujian, will set up a military town, set up a commander, while sitting in Fujian, can also prevent pirates, the establishment of 1,500 people are also sailors, during the Huizong period, there are many things that eat empty salaries, the establishment of 1,500 people, in fact, there are only 800 people, most of them are old and weak.

As a city near the sea, although it is not as large as the coastal cities of Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Fuzhou, some merchant ships will land here, after all, the tariffs here are relatively low.

However, the situation in the Ping Navy has been tense recently, overseas merchant ships do not dare to approach the coast at all, and the merchants in the Ping Navy City do not dare to go to sea easily, who let countless warships park on the sea, covering the sky and the sun, there are thousands of rumors, where is the old and weak of the Ping Navy is the opponent of these enemies, can only block the docks, do not dare to go to sea.

Those businessmen are fine on weekdays, and most of them gather in Pinghai Restaurant to inquire about each other's news, which has made Pinghai Restaurant's recent business much better. Today, the restaurant is full again, and businessmen from all over the world have gathered here.

"Hey, I heard last night that a captain of the Navy Battalion was killed, and three generals have died in the past two days." An old man touched his gray beard and said with some concern.

"Father, not only did the three generals of the army die, but I heard that the county lord was also killed." A middle-aged man beside the old man, with a hint of bitterness on his face, whispered to his father.

The old man's body trembled, his face changed slightly, and finally he whispered: "Keheng, let's leave Pinghai!" I'm afraid the war is coming, hey, forget it, I'm afraid it's too late to leave now, I originally thought that Yue Fei's army was only about a hundred miles away from Pinghai, and Fang Baihua would not get on the ship here, but now it seems that it is very likely that Fang Baihua will get on the ship here. ”

The war between Yue Fei and Fang Baihua lasted for more than half a year, and now it was finally going to be a decisive battle, but everyone knew that it was very difficult for Fang Baihua to join Lu Shinang, Yue Fei was definitely going to attack at the last moment, and such a large-scale assassination at the moment obviously showed that Fang Baihua could not bear the long march, and the final decisive battle was coming.

And the location chosen by Fang Baihua is probably in Pinghai City, the war is coming, it is very bad news for the business travelers in Pinghai City, but unfortunately, it is almost impossible to leave now.

"I heard that Yue Fei's subordinates can treat the people well, the key is that although Fang Baihua's team is under the command of the Tang Dynasty, but in the end, it is Fang La's subordinates, if we fight, I'm afraid we will all be unlucky to follow behind." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

"Oh no, no, shopkeeper, shopkeeper killed." The old man was about to speak, when suddenly a panicked voice came from the back house, and he saw that the shopkeeper looked flustered, rushed out of it, and shouted loudly: "Quick, fast report officer, in charge, the shopkeeper has been killed, this, how is this good?" ”

Everyone in the restaurant was in a panic when they heard it, and there was a burst of discussions, and some people shouted angrily, the assassination of the two armies can assassinate those who are officials, those generals, but what does it have to do with a shopkeeper?

The old man hesitated for a while, but soon thought about what he had clearly, and suddenly turned into a long sigh, glanced at the inner courtyard of the restaurant, waved his hand, and said to his son: "Let's go!" Find a small house, settle down first, the land of right and wrong in Pinghai, I hope I can save my life this time! Looking forward to Fang Baihua being the concubine of the Tang Emperor, she is kind by nature and will not kill people indiscriminately! ”

"Father, this?" The son hesitated.

"In Pinghai, a restaurant has been opened for more than 100 years, don't you feel strange? The business is so good, those officials don't dare to come to the door, what's going on? The old man smiled bitterly: "I heard that there is an intelligence organization of the Fengbo Pavilion around the emperor today, which specializes in spying on the intelligence of the world, at this time, the shopkeeper was killed, should you think of it!" The old man's eyes flickered, and there was a trace of worry, the spies had already made a big fight, indicating that Fang Baihua was already ironclad in the Pinghai ship.

In fact, not only Pinghai, but also on Dongshan Island, some people have seen the sailor warship off the coast of Dongshan Island, and the flag with the word "Lu" is hung on it, and there are also secret guards on the island.

"Yue Fei, Yue Commander, when are you going to wait, do you have to wait until the Ping Navy has all fallen, and Fang Baihua has already boarded the Sailor Warship of Lu Shinang, will you enter the Ping Navy?" In the big camp, Wan Qiao's face was flushed, his eyes were full of anger, standing in front of Yue Fei, eager to replace Yue Fei and give the order to attack.

"Lord Wan Qi, I always feel that the direction of Fang Baihua's ship is not Ping Haijun, but Dongshan Island, you see that there is no movement on Dongshan Island, or that the movement is very small, doesn't Lord Wan Qi feel strange?" Yue Fei hesitated for a while, and said: "Really speaking, Dongshan Island is the most suitable place for boarding and landing, the current situation is too weird, Lord Wan Qi, you must know that we only have tens of thousands of horses, on the one hand, we have to guard against Lu Shinang, but also against Fang Baihua, Dongshan Island and the Peace Navy can only defend one place, if the defense is wrong, Fang Baihua will escape, this responsibility, you and I can't bear it." ”

"Pinghai City, Pinghai City, Yue Command, if it goes on like this, the entire Pinghai City will be in chaos, there is no need for Fang Baihua or Lu Shisang to attack, Pinghai City will become an empty city, now the commanders of the Pinghai Division have already hidden in the big camp and dare not come out, the sailor has lost his command, Lu Shisang can easily attack Pinghai City, and Fang Baihua can easily get on the boat." Wan Qiyu couldn't help but retort: "Now even the number of casualties in the Fengbo Pavilion is heavy, and a secret agent who has been hidden for a hundred years has been killed by the secret guards. General Yue, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that even if you capture Fang Baihua, His Majesty the Emperor will punish you. ”

"Lord Wan Qi, if Fang Baihua is on the boat on Dongshan Island, and we can't stop her in time, who will bear the blame?" Yue Fei felt a burst of anger in his heart, where is this guy analyzing things, he clearly wants to avenge his Fengbo Pavilion, so he will be like this.

"What if Fang Baihua gets on the boat from Pinghai City?" Wan Qiao's eyes rolled, he was only the commander of the Storm Pavilion, not the military commander, and this responsibility would naturally not be borne.

Yue Fei hesitated for a while, looked at Zhang Xian and said, "Zhang Xian, where do you think Lu Shinang's attack direction is?" Dongshan Island or Ping Navy? ”

"Both are possible, if we put the main target on Dongshan Island, Lu Shilang will take advantage of the situation to attack Pinghai City, turning a feint into a real attack, if we defend Pinghai City, the other party will attack the east and west, and feint to attack Pinghai City, but in fact it is to attack Dongshan Island." Zhang Xian smiled bitterly, and he couldn't tell where Lu Shinang's real goal was.

In fact, when Lu Shisang and Fang Bao attacked Fuzhou and Quanzhou, everyone knew that Fang Baihua's time to get on the ship was fast, so Yue Fei also accelerated the speed of pursuit, but now, Yue Fei found that he was already riding a tiger, and no one knew where Fang Baihua got on the boat.

Although he was very confident that Lu Shisang would meet Fang Baihua on Dongshan Island, but now, Wan Qiyu insisted that Fang Baihua would definitely appear in Pinghai City, and Yue Fei was now facing a difficult choice.

"Lord Wan Qi, I think it's better to be cautious at this time, and ask Lord Wan Qi to send more people to find out Fang Baihua's whereabouts, and then make a decision, what does Lord Wan Qi think?" Yue Fei thought about it and decided to slow down.

"At this time, it is difficult to decide, Fang Baihua is more than a hundred miles away from Dongshan Island, but it is closer to Pinghai City, isn't it obvious?" Wan Qian looked at Yue Fei, and suddenly said coldly: "I heard that General Yue attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he and Li Jing are senior brothers. ”

"Nonsense." Yue Feijun's face was flushed, his tiger eyes were red, he looked at Wan Qixiao and said: "I, Yue, stand up to the sky and the earth, loyal to Your Majesty, how can I do something to betray Your Majesty, the current situation is unpredictable, no one knows where Fang Baihua will be, we went to Pinghai City, but if the other party is on Dongshan Island, what will happen?" Let go of Fang Baihua, who will bear this responsibility, could it be you? Yue Fei was really angry, subconsciously, he thought that Fang Baihua's target was Dongshan Island.

"General Yue, sit in Pinghai City, defeat Fang Baihua, and capture him alive to show your loyalty to Your Majesty." Wan Qian couldn't help but say: "After all, your relationship with Li Jing is there, if you can't capture Fang Baihua, even if Your Majesty trusts you, will those ministers believe you?" I believe in Xia Guan, what benefits can Xia Guan get if he lets Fang Baihua go? Only by sitting in Pinghai City can Fang Baihua be captured. ”

Yue Fei was about to say something, when suddenly a Storm Pavilion spy broke in from outside the big tent and said loudly: "General Yue, Fang Baihua's army moved towards Pinghai City, and the villain and the others also found that Fang Baihua broke away from the brigade and led his own soldiers to appear outside Pinghai City. ”

"Great, General Yue, you can rest assured now! Even Fang Baihua has already appeared outside the city, what else is there to worry about, Fang Baihua must be out to sea in Pinghai City, and immediately send troops to intercept Fang Baihua. There are still some men and horses in Pinghai City, as well as the city wall, which may not be able to block Lu Shisang and defeat Fang Baihua. Wan Qiyu waved his hand, let his secret agents retreat, and immediately said happily. Drowsy came to deliver pillows, and he was still worried that there was no way for Yue Fei to enter Pinghai City! Unexpectedly, Fang Baihua herself appeared in Pinghai City.

"No, I still think that the location of Fang Baihua's march is on Dongshan Island." Yue Fei thought for a while and said: "The sound of the east and the west, the darkness of Chen Cang, nothing more than this, Lord Wan Qi, Fang Baihua is luring us to be fooled, we must not be fooled, the army should go to Dongshan Island to lay out, and Pinghai City is lost to Pinghai City himself, if Fang Baihua attacks Ping'an City, as long as Pinghai City holds on for three days, no, two days, we can kill it back." ”

"Two days? General Yue, you really look up to the Ping Navy, do you know how many people there are in the Ping Navy? But there are eight hundred people, and there are even a lot of old and weak people in it, general, do you think the old and weak of eight hundred people can resist the attack of Lu Shisang and Fang Baihua? Wan Qiyu sneered: "If that's the case, the general might as well let go and let Fang Baihua leave!" ”

"This?" Yue Fei hesitated for a moment, in this situation, he really didn't know what to do.

"General, why don't I lead a thousand soldiers and horses to Pinghai City, and the general himself leads the army to Dongshan Island?" Zhang Xian still believed in Yue Fei's judgment, but in the face of Wan Qiao, he didn't know how to solve this matter, after all, the matter was very important.

"No, it's just the opposite, Xia Guan thinks that General Yue Fei is sitting in Pinghai City, and General Zhang Xian is going to Dongshan Island, so it's best." Seeing that Zhang Xian had retreated, Wan Qian was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile at the moment: "Dongshan Island is long and narrow, and the army can't be unleashed, in this way, General Zhang Xian's 1,000 soldiers and horses, plus the government officers on Dongshan Island, etc., are enough to support a day or two, if Fang Baihua changes, General Yue can gallop to Dongshan Island, what does the general think?" Wan Qian looked at Yue Fei proudly, he believed that Yue Fei would definitely agree.

Yue Fei thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Since Lord Wan Qi has already decided, then let's do it!" Yue Fei suddenly felt tired, he was the commander of the Yue family's army, but at the most critical time, he couldn't command his own army, a civilian official, because he was in charge of a secret agent like Fengbo Pavilion, but he could decide the direction of the army's actions. Could he really be at war?

Wan Qiaowei didn't care about this, he saw that Yue Fei had agreed, his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but say: "General Yue, don't worry, the next official will make arrangements to ensure that the general is unimpeded in Pinghai City, you and I will join forces, and we will definitely be able to capture Fang Baihua and say goodbye." As he spoke, he burst into laughter and came out of the big tent.

Zhang Xian and the others looked at Wan Qiao's appearance, and felt angry in their hearts, Zhang Xian regretted it even more, and said, "General, just now? ”

"Even if it weren't for your words, Wan Qiao's would still ask us to go to Pinghai City, this is the Great Song Dynasty, not Li Jing's command." Yue Fei smiled bitterly. There are also secret guards in Datang, but the secret guards are used to provide information and intelligence, where will they replace the general and give orders to the army. In the Great Song Dynasty, it was the world of civil officials.

"Big brother, will this Fang Baihua really leave from Dongshan Island?" Niu Gao couldn't help but say.

"Definitely." Yue Fei nodded very confidently, he looked at Zhang Xian, and said: "If you really meet Fang Baihua and Lu Shinang, you can't be defeated, just get out of the way, when our army enters Pinghai City, the result has already been decided, and it is not up to you and me to decide." Yue Fei sat on the horse, his face was full of despair, he could win when he saw it, but in the end, he fell short, needless to say, the awkwardness in his heart was needless to say.
