478th March, Red River Estuary 1

"First, can our army's navy defeat the navy of the Great Viet Kingdom.

Second, will you be able to defeat the defenders along the way from the seaside to Thang Long City? ”

After Cai Dao finished speaking, he quietly looked at the generals present.

At this moment, Dean suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and arched his hand towards Cai Daoyi, and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

The key point that Cai Dao just mentioned, Dean suddenly remembered the so-called Songpu City, the first fortified city in the Feiqian Kingdom ten years ago, and in front of the Taoist priest in front of him, it was just a little stronger than the paper paste.

Since strong walls are no longer a problem, are the other problems still a problem?

What's more, more than ten years have passed since the attack on Matsuura Castle. Songpu City must be 108,000 miles worse than Shenglong City, but Cai Daochang has also grown up at this time, so the mana in his body must have grown to a stronger level than at that time.

At this time, Dean felt his blood boiling every time he thought of the spectacular scene when the thunder and lightning broke through the city walls and gates. What's more, once Thang Long City was taken, at that time, the fixed rainy season of the Great Yue Kingdom would become the umbrella of the Song army.

In the rain, the defending force and the besieging force are two completely different concepts.

The generals were all stunned and stunned when Dean suddenly agreed to send troops, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

But Cai Dao would not give them time to think, and as soon as he heard that Dian agreed to his plan, he immediately ordered: "General Shi, you immediately personally inform the money and let him recruit people in the coastal areas of Ba Fujian, Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road. Cai Ban, you immediately notify the fleet, and immediately send fast boats, and let them collect or rent as many sea transport ships as possible in these three places. ”

After speaking, Cai Dao secretly shook his head at Cai Ban.

Cai Bian understood what Cai Dao meant when he saw it, that is, he asked him to tell the person who went to inform him that the Cai family's warship on Yizhou Island was resolutely not moving.

"General Di, start acting immediately. Before noon, the poor road will set off. At first, you can sail along the sea voyage, and once you pass through the Qiongzhou Strait, you will immediately set off in a straight line towards the Red River. All the strong men or generals who were very seasick and dizzy on the way were all allowed to disembark on the way. By the way, there are still you, if you are willing to go, act immediately, and if you are not willing to go, the poor road will definitely not force you. ”

After speaking, Cai Dao and Cai Bucket and Xie Feibao, who were following him, left the big tent of the discussion.

At this time, those generals who had been unable to figure it out naturally surrounded Dian.

"Brother Xian, how stupid are you, how can you agree to his fateful decision?" It was Guo Zhongxiao who asked first, although he was much older than Di'an, but the two of them were about the same age.

Di Qing is a famous general who is a generation earlier than Guo Kui!

Dean replied lightly: "What Daochang Cai said just now is not wrong. The last general can only say one sentence, the matter of breaking through the city is a sure thing for Cai Dao. The question is whether you and I can defeat the defenders along the way, and if the Great Viet Kingdom dares to go out of the city to fight, can we rely on the strength of these 35,000 who have just received less than two months of military training to defeat those opponents who have left the city? ”

Di'an's words have already answered Guo Zhongxiao's question, but the core, how Cai Dao broke through the city in a short period of time, Dean did not elaborate.

Go, most likely to die!

But since Dean has already said this, if he doesn't go again, he will take the initiative to admit it.

This is completely contrary to their original intention of coming thousands of miles away.

Of course, the three uncles and nephews of the Guo family must be excluded. Because, Guo Zhongxiao was recommended by Cai Dao, and Zhao Xu personally approved and appointed the apparent commander of the Southern Expedition.

At the same time as the appointment, Zhao Xu also made a promise, even if he was defeated in this battle, the blame would naturally be Cai Dao's, and it had nothing to do with him, the commander. Moreover, Zhao Xu also made it clear that the reason why he chose him, a civil official, as the apparent commander, was that Di Yong couldn't get out of his body, and there was a reason for borrowing his father Guo Kui's prestige.

Helpless, everyone could only press the doubts and worries in their hearts first, straighten out the team together, and get on the boat immediately.

The weapons and military supplies were still on the ship at the moment, and there was no time to unload the ship, so that the trouble of tossing back and forth was saved.

By the time noon approached, most of the sturdy men had already boarded the great ship with trepidation.

When he set off from Bianliang City, Cai Dao was already well prepared. The sea transport ship he brought this time was more than enough to poke even if it was carrying twice as many soldiers.

This is because the kingdom of Da Viet has not been around for more than a hundred years, but due to the large-scale conquest of the surrounding countries in recent years, there must have been a lot of huge wealth gathered in Thang Long City.

Not to mention the imperial palace, even the homes of those generals and prime ministers must also have valuable gold and silver treasures.

Some of the ships in this fleet are sea vessels that belong to the royal family customized from the Cai family in Xianyou County this year. Its purpose is to bring back the huge wealth in the palace of the Great Yue Kingdom to Bianliang City.

This is the capital that Zhao Xu has the confidence to move the capital in the future.

After boarding the ship, Guo Zhongxiao reported to Cai Daolai that there were 35,000 strong people, and the number of people who finally got on the ship was only 33,999.

The number is quite auspicious, but this number also shows that the number of people who fled the barracks this time is too much.

"Hmm!" Cai Dao nodded and said: "Convey the order to the two transport envoys, whoever catches the deserter will be rewarded with a penny for the first merit, and those who are caught will all be sent to Jinghu South Road, where the old men are lacking free and strong to plow the land for them?" Eat me, take mine, and want to die for me? Then serve a lifetime of hard labor! ”

"Cai Daochang, this ......" Guo Zhongxiao felt very embarrassed by Cai Dao's words.

Lu Huiqing, the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, may sell a face to Cai Dao, but there is no transfer envoy on Guangnan East Road now? Therefore, will those magistrates on Guangnan East Road listen to Cai Dao, especially the Guangzhou Thorn Shi Lu Dafang, this person will definitely not listen to Cai Dao's orders, right?

This possibility is very small, and the direction in which those deserters fled is also seven or eight out of ten fleeing to Guangzhou.

As a result, Guo Zhongxiao guessed wrong, more than ninety percent of these deserters were arrested one by one by the people who broke their families before they escaped from the territory of Leizhou.

You know, this is now the relocation place of the broken family.

From this point of view, the Zhejia's control over the place is really not covered.

And the remaining deserters who were less than one percent, although they escaped from Leizhou, they were finally solved by Lu Dafang, who was the least likely to help him.
