Chapter 466: Mountain Rain is Coming

Li Yu pondered for a moment and looked up at Han Xizai, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Han Shangshu, you are in charge of the military department, and it is your duty to use the army. What do you think? ”

Han Xizai opened his eyes and said warmly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is thinking, the Seven Seas Company is now dominant, and its power has already begun to form, if you want to attack the Seven Seas Company's lair, you must have a strong sailor. This water master is the shortcoming of the Great Song Dynasty.

The main force of the Great Song Dynasty is now in Shudi, and it is beyond the reach of the Seven Seas Company, so the Great Song Dynasty wants to use the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, so that we Tang Guo, as well as Chen Hongjin, and Qian Hongxin are in the fire of the Great Song Dynasty, we must not be fooled.

If we win and destroy the Seven Seas Company, Da Song will have no big trouble in his heart. And we and Chen Hongjin have consumed national strength, isn't this just in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty?

If we are defeated, the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty will see that there is an opportunity, and they will go straight down the river from the land of Jingxiang, and then we may be wiped out! This is the minister's simple opinion, please think about it deeply. ”

After Han Hee-jae finished speaking, several of his die-hard supporters echoed him, and even the ministers of Jang In-yao's faction agreed with Han Hee-jae's view.

Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I also know that what you are talking about is Lao Cheng's words for the country. But the Great Song Dynasty is so coercive, if we don't send troops, we will give the Great Song an excuse to use force against our country, what can we do? ”

Zhang Renyao smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, it is actually not difficult to deal with the Great Song Dynasty. Our country must send troops, but what kind of army to send, here can make a big fuss. ”

Li Yu suddenly understood: "Haha, what Zhang Qingjia said is very much in line with my wishes." Han Shangshu, you immediately let the military department select and send people, and the mighty general Zhang Renjian, who is now recuperating at home, will lead the troops and start assembling soldiers and horses, but the movement can be slower. ”

Han Xizai stood up and bowed down to receive the order.

"Your Majesty, how many troops should we send more troops?"

"Well, let's do it, send 25,000 soldiers and horses, and 100 warships, after all, we can't be too stingy."

Han Xizai agreed, and Seo Hyun asked, "Your Majesty, should we negotiate with Seven Seas?" To avoid misunderstandings? ”

Li Yu glanced at Xu Xuan, nodded slightly, and then announced the dispersal of the dynasty and left with the inner attendant.

The twenty-fifth day of the first month of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty (965 AD)

An inconspicuous merchant ship docked on the pier in the north of Qishan Island, and Shu Ya, a handsome man, stepped off the gangplank from the ship.

He approached the captain of the dock and whispered a few words to him.

The team leader immediately took him and hurried to the camp. Soon the two came to the camp, and in the office of the Ministry of Commerce, they found Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu who were in a meeting.

Shu Ya greeted the two with a solemn face: "Two, I have a very urgent matter to discuss with you, please find a secluded place." ”

Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu saw that Shu Ya's expression was very serious, and they knew that something big had happened, so they ended the meeting, took Shu Ya to the lounge, and closed the door.

Shu Ya said eagerly: "Two, a few days ago, the Great Song Dynasty issued an edict to my Tang Kingdom, asking us to send troops to gather Qian Hongxin's men and horses, as well as Chen Hongjin's men and horses, led by the army sent by the Great Song Dynasty, to attack you together." ”

Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu were surprised, "Brother Shu, is this true?" ”

"Really, can I joke with something like this?"

Cui Daoshu asked, "Brother Shu, how many troops did the Great Song Dynasty send?" Who is the leading general? ”

"The general who leads the troops is General Zuo Shenwu, and the privy envoy is Cao Bin, as for the number of troops, I don't know yet."

Na Zhe felt very strange: "Didn't Cao Bin lead the troops to destroy Shu?" Could it be that Hou Shu perished so quickly? ”

Shu Ya nodded slowly: "Yes, a few days ago, there was news that Meng Chang had surrendered, and the Shu Kingdom had perished. ”

Cui Daoshu asked again: "Then what is the attitude of your lord?" ”

"Hey, in the face of the coercion of the Great Song Dynasty, the lord of the country can only swallow his anger and obey."

Na Zhe snorted: "Li Yu has a problem with his brain?" He wants to beat us with Da Song? ”

Shu Ya hurriedly explained: "Two, the lord of the country is also helpless. However, all the soldiers sent by our Tang State are weak, just to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, and we will not fight to the death with you. ”

Cui Daoshu looked at Na Zhe: "Third brother, the top priority now is to immediately notify the boss of the Ryukyus, Boris, and Du Dalei." Let them come back as soon as possible. ”

Na Zhe nodded in agreement: "Then immediately inform the boss with a pigeon letter." But I'm afraid that the pigeon letter is not safe, so let's send a few more clippers. ”

"Well, I'll write to the boss right away, third brother, you go to An Dalang, tell him everything, and ask him to order all the mobilization to prepare to deal with this crisis.

------------- -------------- --------------

The second day of the second month of the second month of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty (965 AD)

The weather is gradually warming, and the scene on Qishan Island is in full swing. The various workshops were desperately producing weapons and military supplies, and An Dalang trained the guards like crazy, tossing them every day, and tired like dead dogs.

In the afternoon, Zhao Zizhong, Boris, and Du Dalei returned to Qishan Island, and then immediately convened a meeting of the top management of Seven Seas.

The conference room was packed, and Seven Seas executives were all present.

"According to the observation of our spies in Yangzhou, the Great Song Dynasty gathered an army of about 3,000 people in Yangzhou, and these troops were all mobilized from nearby prefectures and counties, and there were almost more than 100 ships, all of which were suitable for inland rivers, and there were very few sea vessels. Cao Bin had already arrived, and he only brought a few staff members and more than fifty guards, and did not bring soldiers and horses. "A staff officer of a staff department gave a presentation.

"How's the situation in Nantang?" Boris asked.

"Nantang is still gathering troops, their movements are very slow, men, horses, food, and military supplies are not ready, most of the soldiers are old and weak, and some recruits. They are typical of hard work. ”

"How is Chen Hongjin over there?"

"According to the report of the Pucheng Zhang clan, Chen Hongjin has gathered almost 5,000 men and horses in Quanzhou, and more than 100 warships, and is training."

"What about Hangzhou?"

"Qian Hongxin and Qian Hongyi are still in the confrontation, a few days ago our special service team burned Qian Hongxin's several camps stacked with food and military supplies, the morale of the rebels is very low now, and they have not attacked Hangzhou City in recent days."

"Well done by the Secret Service Team!" An Dalang slapped the table table excitedly, "Brother, shouldn't you reward the special service team?" ”

Zhao Zizhong smiled: "Zhai Xiaoshan, you have done a good job, you should be rewarded." In this case, you should report the list of meritorious personnel, and after verification by the General Staff and Logistics Department, the bonus will be handed over immediately. ”

Zhai Xiaoshan stood up happily and gave everyone a military salute.

Zhao Zizhong continued: "Everyone, now the situation is very clear, Zhao Kuangyin has gathered the rebels of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yueguo, and Chen Hongjin, and is ready to attack us, everyone can talk about their thoughts." ”

"Hey, what else do you want, just them." An Dalang disagreed.

Du Dalei asked: "Da Lang, it's right to do them, but how can you do it?" After all, these groups of people add up, there are tens of thousands in total. We're still underarmed. ”

Everyone talked about it, and the total number of troops on Qishan Island now, plus the newly recruited rookies, is only in the early 3,000s. There are almost tens of thousands of people, and the difference in strength is more than ten times, how can people deal with it if they use crowd tactics?

Boris saw that Zhao Zizhong's brows were tightly locked, so he whispered: "Boss, have you forgotten the battle of Sarhu?" ”

Zhao Zizhong's eyes lit up: "Yes, depending on how many ways he comes, won't I solve it just by going all the way?" Boris, your idea is very good. ”

An Dalang was a little confused beside him: "Brother, what are you talking about with Xiao Liuzi?" ”

Zhao Zi patted An Dalang on the shoulder: "Boris has thought of a way to break the enemy, let him tell everyone." ”

Soon there was silence in the conference room, and everyone looked at Boris.

Boris walked over to the blackboard and drew a sketchy map of the East China Sea coast with chalk.

Pointing to the vicinity of Quanzhou, he said: "In this day and age, communication between armies is very slow. The three of them have not yet assembled, so they have given us a chance to break through. We can take advantage of the time difference and clean them up one by one. First of all, we can clean up Chen Hongjin, who is the worst. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that the battle could still be fought like this! Immediately, everyone began to talk about it.

After a while, when everyone calmed down, Boris continued: "Chen Hongjin is easy to deal with, as long as we burn his naval division warship like we burned the camp of Wu Yueguo's naval division, he will not be able to threaten us." ”

"Yes, yes, that's a good idea! Haha, fire the camp or something, Lao Tzu likes it the most, boss, will you let me go this time? "Du Dalei, a militant element, immediately came out to ask for war.

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Yes, you go with Da Lang, and you will leave tomorrow, you have to listen to Da Lang's orders, go early and return early." ”

Du Dalei was very excited, and immediately discussed the matter of sending troops with An Dalang in a whisper.

Boris pointed to Hangzhou and said, "Everyone, after Da Lang and Du Dalei successfully attack Quanzhou, they will immediately go north." Then we gathered all our troops, killed in Hangzhou City, and completely solved Qian Hongxin's rebels. This time, we have to use all our strength to solve Qian Hongxin in the fastest time! ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Yes, we must move quickly, and immediately send someone to inform Qian Hongyi, so that he can get ready, send all the troops, and attack Qian Hongxin with us." This time we're going to wipe out the rebels! ”

The cattle of the escort team were very excited, and they all came out to ask for battle, preparing to go to Hangzhou outside the city to kill all sides, and try to make as many military merits as possible.

An Dalang scolded a few words, and these guys were honest.

Boris continued: "Then we will go north, block Cao Bin's fleet at the mouth of the Yangtze River, separate the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty from the fleet of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and annihilate Cao Bin's sailors!" ”
