Originally, Shi Luosheng wanted to take Liu Zixuan with him, so that even if he encountered an accident, it would not be difficult to kill him and Zixuan's martial arts, and leaving Ling Zhen to guard the water village was also the most suitable candidate. But after thinking about it, after all, what he brought was the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and Ling Zhen was recognized by everyone as one of the four pirates, if Ling Zhen was allowed to command the Song army to be passed out, the impact would not be very good, so he decided to leave Liu Zixuan behind.

In fact, there are also benefits to doing this, Liu Zixuan's partner Wang Lun may not be worse than Ling Zhen, and he takes Ling Zhen to find Huang Songsheng is a little more certain, and Ling Zhen's martial arts will not be too far behind Liu Zixuan, plus there are four of the eight generals who are helping each other, even if there is really any problem, it is not difficult for everyone to escape.

In addition, Shi Luosheng also had an idea, after this naval battle with the Qi army, he felt that Dong Liang was not suitable for the position of the commander of the navy, just now I heard Ling Zhen say that the sailors led by Huang Songsheng were not under Jiang Huanyan, so he thought about it, if he could recruit Huang Songsheng and return to the Great Song Dynasty, then he would sponsor him as the new commander of the navy, and let Xun Yuqing be his deputy, as for Dong Liang, he would arrange another position of the same level.

After making up his mind, Shi Luosheng and his group of seven people took a small boat to Xiachuan Island. Originally, Kamikawa Island and Shimokawa Island belonged to one island town, but they were later occupied by two pirate forces, so they were divided into the current Kamikawa Island and Shimokawa Island. The scenery of Shimokawa Island is charming, with peculiar mountain scenery and stone forests, abundant marine resources, and a coconut grove. The island has a population of about 30,000 people, and there is a large area of land where various crops can be grown.

Just now, Huang Songsheng heard that Ling Zhen from Changxing Island came to visit him, and hurriedly brought his second master, Ni Yun, and third master, An Shirong, to greet him: "Brother Ling, why do you have time to come to my Xiachuan Island, aren't you Changxing very busy recently?" I watched your merchant ships run out again and again, and my brother was hungry, haha. ”

Ling Zhen also quipped: "Fortunately, it's the old brother, if Li Zhixi and the younger brother say the same thing, I have to prevent him from robbing my goods, haha." ”

Huang Songsheng invited everyone into the house and asked, "My brother came to me for the matter of the Qi State Water Army, they are at war with the Yan State, if Penglai is defeated, it will have a great impact on your business." However, in the past two days, I heard that Shi Luosheng, the Wei general of the Song State, had just defeated the Qi army at sea, and this battle could spread, and he ignited the fire directly at sea, and almost burned Jiang Huanyan to death. Although this Jiang Huanyan is not well-known in the mainland, but at sea, who in our sea area does not know him, and he can defeat Jiang Huanyan, and this stone is not simple. ”

Ling Zhen heard Huang Songsheng talk directly about this naval battle, and he was in the middle of it: "I came to find Brother Huang this time is indeed here for the Qi army, if Penglai Port is captured by the Qi army, it will indeed affect our business very much, do you think the Song army can win the Qi army this time?" ”

Huang Songsheng shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but I estimate that it hangs, although the Song army has just won a big victory, and I have heard about the battle, such an exquisite layout failed to kill Jiang Huanyan, and it didn't even hit him hard, and finally let him run away with nearly thirty warships, and it will be even more difficult to make him suffer in the future." ”

Ling Zhen asked again: "Brother, you are proficient in naval warfare, how do you think you can win against Jiang Huanyan?" ”

As soon as Huang Songsheng talked about naval battles, he blurted out: "It's no fun to rely on the Song army alone, now the Qi army still has at least sixty warships, and the Yan army has at most twenty ships, and the Song State has a total of forty warships this time, and it also lost a lot in the last battle, the strength is less than half of the Qi army, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as the Qi army, if you want to win, you can only find foreign aid......"

Speaking of this, Huang Songsheng suddenly reacted: "Okay, you Ling Zhen, you have been around me for a long time, you came to me this time just to let me send troops to attack the Qi army with you, right?" Could it be that Song Jun has already looked for you? Are you cooperating with Song Jun or have you already been recruited by them? ”

Huang Songsheng thinks that although the trade of Penglai City is very important to Changxing Island, it will not let Ling Zhen risk confronting the Qi army, and now Ling Zhen's intention to come to him is obvious, that is, he has decided to start a war with the Qi army, Huang Songsheng of course has to understand the relationship between Changxing Island and the Song army.

Ling Zhen smiled and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Huang, come, let me introduce you again, this person next to me is Shi Luosheng, the general of Song Guowei who just defeated Jiang Huanyan at sea." ”

Huang Songsheng looked at Shi Luosheng in surprise, originally he saw that Shi Luosheng was only about twenty years old, and thought that he was just an ordinary general newly promoted on Changxing Island, but now after listening to Ling Zhen's introduction, he knew that this was the famous Shi Luosheng.

Huang Songsheng arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be General Shi, the general's name has spread all over this sea area in the past two days, and when I saw it today, I really didn't expect the general to be so young." ”

Shi Luosheng also smiled: "Luosheng has also heard of General Huang's name for a long time, and Teacher Ling told me that the strength of the naval army trained by General Huang is not below Jiang Huanyan. To tell you the truth, the time for our Great Song Dynasty to form a naval army is still short, and Jiang Huanyan's naval army has also seen it this time, and there is still a big gap between us and the Qi naval army, so I just came to the door and wanted to ask General Huang to help for the sake of all Song people. ”

Huang Songsheng said coldly: "It's true that Huang is from the Song Kingdom, but Huang fled overseas when he couldn't even eat in the Song Kingdom, so he has no feelings for the Song Kingdom." In addition, there are now more than 30,000 residents on Shimokawa Island, and I can't send troops just because of the general's words, the Qi army is strong, in case of defeat, how can I explain to so many residents on the island? ”

Shi Luosheng had already heard the meaning of Huang Songsheng's words, if he could have a perfect plan, Huang Songsheng could still consider fighting.

Shi Luosheng said: "General Huang also said just now that our Great Song Dynasty army alone cannot defeat the Qi army, so we must unite with other surrounding forces." Now we still have thirty warships, and the Yan Navy also has fifteen warships, plus ten warships on Changxing Island, if General Huang is willing to help, we have surpassed Jiang Huanyan in terms of strength. In terms of combat effectiveness, the naval armies of Changxing Island and Xiachuan Island are also not under Jiang Huanyan's naval army, and our Great Song Dynasty's speedboats also have a speed advantage over the warships of the Shang Qi army. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Luosheng glanced at Huang Songsheng, saw that he was thoughtful, and continued: "Finally, in terms of high-end combat power, although personal bravery can play a small role in front of the army, it is still not to be underestimated in fighting at sea. In this regard, we also have an absolute advantage, Teacher Ling and General Huang, the martial arts general of the Eight Generals of the Day, know it, plus our General Liu Zixuan of the Great Song Dynasty and the master of the Ghost Shadow Sect led by Ning Buqu of the Yan Kingdom, while the Qi army only has two elders of the Nujiao Gang who follow Jiang Huanyan to fight. If we can play our strengths reasonably, there is still a great possibility of winning in the end. ”

Huang Songsheng thought for a while and said, "General Shi, although what you said has some truth, it is not enough, these are not enough for us to go to Xiachuan Island to accompany you on the adventure." ”
