Jiang Gan was not idle, at the same time that Lu Mao led people to help the Sinhalese people fight, he set off again, along the coast all the way to the north, lobbying the large and small Tianzhu countries, every place he went, he first had to explain the battle on the island of Ceylon, in his mouth, of course, it was the three kingdoms of Chula bullying the weak, joining forces to bully the Sinhalese country, and they were insatiable, turning a blind eye to the good intentions of the Yue country, and wantonly blackmailing, the Sinhala and the Yue country were angry, so they joined forces to fight back against their oppression. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of the rather tempting conditions given by Jiang Gan, those small countries more or less believed Jiang Gan's words, and they were usually bullied by the three countries of Zhu Luo - things such as talking about cooperation with the Yue country could not fall on small countries like them in the past - of course, they did not have a good impression of the three countries of Zhu Gan, so they listened to Jiang Gan's foolery with suspicion.

Jiang Gan's requirements for them were actually not high: to provide food and lodging for the merchants of the Yue Kingdom in the past, to ensure their safety, and other than that, there were almost no requirements, no tribute, no vassals, whether you had only one city or ten cities, they were treated equally. If you really don't have the strength to guarantee these, then don't force it, collect less taxes, and we are responsible for safety. In a word, you can do what you can, and you can eat as much benefit as you have as much strength as you have.

The small countries have never enjoyed such respect, although the war between the Yue and the three kingdoms of Zhu Luo has not yet been decided, but they have fallen to the side of the Yue country, Jiang Gan has been welcomed to varying degrees everywhere he goes, I don't know when it started, the rumor that the Yue people like beautiful women spread out, and after a circle, Jiang Gan did not receive many other gifts, and all kinds of beauties received more than a dozen.

After a short interruption, the busy trade route began to be lively again, Pandia and Zheluo came because most of the sailors rushed to the Amanda Sea to fight against the Vietnamese sailors, and the victory was not scored, and secondly, they were overwhelmed by the pirate rangers, and for a while they could not draw the strength of the sailors to rob the Vietnamese caravans, so they could only let it go. The merchants of the Yue Kingdom no longer anchored in their territory, but instead docked at the ports of the small northern countries, deflated their pockets and fattened the purses of their opponents, which annoyed Arcadi and Divia at the first thought, but in any case, they could not accept the conditions proposed by Jiang Gan, and could only hope that the King of Chola would lead the United Naval Division to defeat the Yue Naval Division, and at that time, all the problems would be solved.

In December of the fifth year of the Republic, Sun Shao, who had been waiting at the beach for more than two months, finally waited for the joint water division of the three kingdoms of Zhuluo. For more than two months, he had been stopping at the seaside, and only sent Zhou Yin to go ashore with the Destroying Battalion to assist the Shan people in besieging Sri Ritatamro. The Shan people served as the main attackers, and Zhou Yin helped them sweep the formation to prevent them from being counterattacked by the Husmen. When the Husmen held the city, they sat by and watched, once they went out of the city to counterattack, and the Shan people could not support it, Zhou Yin ordered the five captains of the Destroying Front Battalion to take turns to attack head-on and beat the momentum of the Husmen. After the Huren suffered a few times, they learned to be obedient, they stayed in the city, resolutely did not come out, everything waited for the end of the battle at sea, if the Yue people lost, then naturally there was nothing to say, if the Yue people won the war, they also had to consider surrendering to the Yue people, at this time it was not a good idea to take the initiative to fight with the Yue people.

The war dragged on like this, although the Shan king Yongyoukai was very anxious, but he didn't dare to urge Sun Shao, he was afraid that the Destroying Feng Battalion would really attack the city, and Sri Licha Tanluo would not have it for him, don't drive away the wolf of the Huren, and come to the tiger of Yueguo.

At this moment, Sun Shao sent someone to deliver the news that the Zhuluo sailors had appeared a hundred miles away, they were traveling along the coast, and they might have to pass through the border of the Shan country first, and he asked Yong Youkai, are you going back to defend by yourself, or are my sailors coming forward to fight?

Yong Youkai thought about it for a long time, but decided to go back by himself, anyway, he couldn't take it here for a while. He returned to the capital with a large army, and was careful to be on guard, for fear that the Chola would go ashore and sack the Shan country on a whim.

Fortunately, Zhu Luo was bent on fighting against Yue Guo at this time, and they did not dare to be distracted, so they sailed south from the coast of Shan Country and sailed to the station of the Yue State Naval Division. In the middle of December, the two armies met, and although the king of Chula Feroz was very confident in himself, he was not a numb ghost after many years of fighting, and in order to know what to do, he sent people to inquire separately about the news of Sri Licha Tanluo and the Yue Guo Naval Division.

The news made Feroz breathe a sigh of relief and a little puzzled at the same time. The Yue and Shan joined forces to attack Sri Cha Tanluo for two months, but failed to break the city, and the Yue sailors, who were originally on the seashore outside the city, now retreated south, and were about to reach the mouth of Lijiang, and if they retreated, they would retreat to the territory of the Yue Kingdom. What reassured Feroz even more was that there were big ships in the Yue Kingdom, but only one of the Yue Wang's ships was a big ship, and the other ships were all warships about the same size as them, and those big ships were all merchant ships and baggage ships, and now they have all retreated to safety.

The generals of the United Naval Division were overjoyed, it seemed that this gamble was right, the Vietnamese were not as strong as they imagined, and they retreated in the face of the superior forces of the United Naval Division. Feroz told the hussar that his messenger was a fool, and that he couldn't even tell the difference between a baggage ship and a warship, and that the hussar was inexplicable, so he asked the messenger who had his ear cut off and asked him carefully, and the messenger was confused, and he was not sure if he was stunned at that time, and he was wrong.

The uncertainty of the envoy confirmed Ferroz's conjecture even more, and everyone was very excited to ask to immediately set off to pursue the Yue Navy, all the way to the territory of the Yue Kingdom, and then sign an alliance with them to regain control of the South China Sea.

While everyone was excited, Feroz did not lose his mind, and he sent a confidant, Sanjay, to meet Sun Shao, the king of Yue, to find out the truth and truth, and then make a decision.

When Sanjay saw Sun Shao, Sun Shao was half-leaning and half-leaning in the cabin to watch the song and dance, twenty young and beautiful Aryan beauties wearing thin silk clothes, dancing in the cabin, the music was very familiar, it was Tianzhu's music, but it was the music used in Buddhist etiquette, seeing that the originally solemn Buddhist music was used in such a luxurious occasion, Sanjay was suddenly a little annoyed.

However, when he saw the young woman in Sun Shao's arms again, Sanjay was simply angry, he had a relationship with this young bhikshuni, this is the attendant disciple of a very famous master in Tianzhu, but he didn't expect that now he was wearing a looming gauze robe, with exquisite curves and a slim body, Sun Shao's hand was still rubbing her fragrant shoulder, and her face was flushed, if it weren't for her blue scalp being very piercing, Sanjay couldn't believe his eyes.

Seeing Sanjay, the young bhikshuni couldn't help but lower his head, and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Sun Shao and couldn't get out. Sun Shao even pinched the chin on her chest with his hand, looked at Sanjay with a smile, and asked in a very frivolous tone, "You are the Zhuluo envoy?" ”

Sanjay remembered his mission, put away his anger, and stroked his chest and saluted: "Sanjay, the envoy of Chola, meet the king." ”

Sun Shao sat up, but hugged the bhikshuni tighter, the bhikshuni even had a red neck, the white skin showed a young crimson, and the crisp breasts under the silk clothes kept rising and falling because of tension, lining her bald head, which looked more and more attractive.

"Since you've come all the way, why don't you come to war, and what messengers do you want to send?" Sun Shao opened his mouth wide and yawned, looking a little lacking in energy.

Sanjay glanced around, and saw that the generals in power were a little out of spirit, and couldn't help but sneer, can such an army still fight? What a joke. He looked more respectful, and his head hung lower: "My king respects the Buddha and doesn't want to kill more, if the king is willing, my king is willing to negotiate with your country and resolve this dispute peacefully." ”

"Oh?" Sun Shao let go of the bhikshuni, leaned forward, and asked, "You can't be fooling me, are you?" ”

Sanjay clearly saw a flash of joy in Sun Shao's eyes, and the sneer in his heart was even worse, but his expression was more respectful: "Don't dare, I would like to swear to the disciples in front of Master Ananda's throne that the king of my family really wants to make peace with the king." ”

"A disciple of Master Ananda?" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head suspiciously to look at the bhikshuni with a flushed face: "What kind of disciple did you say she was Master Ananda?" ”

"Doesn't the king know?" Sanjay said in surprise.

Sun Shao touched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "I don't know, it turns out that she is so famous, no wonder she can not only preach the scriptures, but also put on so many difficult movements, which makes people want to stop." ”

Qin Sai, the interpreter, hesitated for a moment, his face was also a little red, what Sun Shao said had a very obvious ambiguous meaning, and she knew that this was not at all consistent with the facts, and even now the bhikshuni being held in his arms had just been decided. She glanced at Sun Shao, but Sun Shao didn't look at her, put her head on the bhikshuni's neck and sniffed it, and said with a strange smile: "Why didn't you say it earlier, your teacher is still so famous, I don't know how many sisters and sisters you have?" Is it as versatile as you? ”

With this effort, Sun Shao squeezed his eyes at Qin Sai, Qin Sai suddenly realized, and hurriedly translated his words, which inevitably added some vague words. Sanjay saw Sun Shao's frivolous bhikshuni with his own eyes, and of course he didn't distinguish between Qin Sai's words and Qin Sai's translation, and took it for granted that Sun Shao had already taken possession of this bhikshuni, so he couldn't help but be furious, he forcibly suppressed his anger and nodded.

"Negotiation, how to negotiate?" Sun Shao let go of the bhikshuni and tried his best to make a solemn appearance, but in Sanjay's eyes, his solemnity was really not worth mentioning. Sanjay gathered his thoughts and said slowly, while carefully examining Sun Shao's face and eyes. Of course, the king of Chula Feroz did not really want to negotiate, and his request was even more excessive than that of Arcadi, the king of Pandia, and he asked Sun Shao to give up the South China Sea and let the Tianzhu merchants go freely to trade in the South China Sea, which was simply to provoke Sun Shao. If Sun Shao can agree to this condition, then there will be more excessive, anyway, in a word, negotiation is not an end, just a means, what is needed is to test Sun Shao's confidence.

Before Sanjay finished speaking, Sun Shao became angry, he waved his hand and roared, and two tigers rushed up and grabbed Sanjay, no matter how he struggled, he hung him directly on the outer mast, in Sun Shao's words, it is to let you see how majestic Lao Tzu's warship is, and then talk well.

Sanjay was not the hussar messenger, during the time he was hung upside down on the mast, although he pretended to be terrified and cried out loudly, his heart blossomed, and on the top of the high mast, he had an unobstructed view of the entire Yue Navy, and even counted the number of warships, a total of one large ship, thirty-one medium-sized warships, and more than twenty smaller warships, which should be scout ships for reconnaissance missions.

Sanjay was hung for half an hour, shouting so much that his voice was hoarse, before he was put down, Sun Shao said to him very angrily, the conditions you put forward are all fucking farts, there is no sincerity, you go back and say to Feroz, if you want to talk, just say something reliable, if it is still like this, then simply don't talk about it, and talk about it after a fight.

Although Sun Shao said hardly, Sanjay heard weakness in his tone, he pretended to be frightened, nodded again and again, hugged his head and ran away, as soon as he left the camp of the Yue Guo Sailors, he ordered the sailors to rock the boat with all their might, and he wanted to spread the situation of the Yue Sailors to Feroz as quickly as possible.

As soon as Sanjay left, Cui Qian and the others, who were originally staggering, stood up, wiped their faces vigorously with the towel on the case, wiped off the color on their faces, and stood murderously in front of Sun Shao waiting for his life. Twenty Aryan beauties had withdrawn, as had the red-faced bhikshunis, the banquet had withdrawn, and a huge map had been laid out.

Sun Shao sat on the main seat with a murderous face, holding his knees with one hand, rubbing the knife ring in his hand with the other, Leng Sensen's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Eighty percent of the sailors of the three kingdoms of Zhuluo, Pandia and Zheluo are here, if we can hit them hard, then even if we can't take Tianzhu in a short time, at least we can control this sea, control this sea, we will control this trade route, wealth will roll in, and with money in our hands, we can choose to find partners with surnames and further divide the Tianzhu people." In a word, this battle is not a question of winning, but a question of how to maximize the results. ”

"King, what are you rewarding?" Zhuge Zhi, who is rarely joking, couldn't help but ask today.

Sun Shao glanced at him with some surprise, but he didn't expect that he was the first to open his mouth, and it was in this tone. He thought for a moment and pointed to the hatch from which the Aryan beauties and bhikshunis had exited: "Take your pick of those women, including the bald one. ”

The generals were stunned for a moment and burst into laughter.

"That minister doesn't dare." Zhuge Zhi was a little embarrassed, shook his head and said: "If the minister's method can be useful, the minister wants to ask the king to grant the minister the pioneer task of going out of the aerospace project." ”

"Hey, Ji Gong, you're not right, this battle hasn't been fought yet, you just want to fight for the next battle?" Cui Qian shouted.

Zhuge glanced at him, and said with a forced smile: "No way, there are people like the general who like to eat alone, if I don't start in advance, I'm afraid I will have to follow the general for the rest of my life." ”

Cui Qian was just about to refute, but the other generals all shouted, gossiping to support Zhuge Zhi, Cui Qian's reputation for liking to eat alone is indeed very bad, and many people have opinions about him. When Cui Qian saw that he was angry, he didn't dare to say more, so he had to shrink aside.

Sun Shao smiled, pointed at Zhuge and said, "You say, if it really works, I will answer you." ”

"Whoa." Zhuge straightened up, put his hand on his chest, and said loudly: "Thank you for the king's gift." ”

"Don't worry, it depends on whether your method works." Sun Shao couldn't help but want to laugh, even Zhuge Zhi, who has always been kind, fought for merit, it can be seen how warlike these people are, and the military merit lord and the concubine system are still very attractive to them.

"The king can rest assured, the minister dares to guarantee that he can completely annihilate the Tianzhu United Sailor in one battle." Zhuge said with a straight chest, he walked quickly to the map, took the bamboo whip from Yang Xiu's hand, pointed to the coastline on the map and said: "Although there are many Tianzhu Water Divisions, for us, these people are not even enough to share the battle merits, so we have to rob them." ”

The generals couldn't help but laugh again, they really didn't pay attention to the nearly 20,000 Tianzhu sailors, judging from the news collected before, the strength of the Tianzhu sailors was not as good as the strength of the Funan sailors, their boats were small, and they didn't use iron nails, they were all tied with brown silk, such a ship could not withstand the wind and waves, and they could not withstand the collision, if the two armies faced each other, the Yueguo sailors had full confidence to achieve victory. However, this time Sun Shao's goal was not as simple as victory, what he wanted was to defeat the living force of the Tianzhu Water Master in one fell swoop. Tianzhu has a wide area, with the current strength of the Yue country, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to go deep into the interior of Tianzhu in a short period of time to attack the city, but Tianzhu faces the sea on three sides, as long as he kills his sailor, then this sea is the scope of Yue Guo's control, and then as long as he finds some islands like Ceylon, the sailor of the Yue country can master the trade route of communication between the east and the west, and he can get a rolling source of wealth. The vast majority of Tianzhu's sailors are the joint sailors in front of them, and if they are all annihilated, they will severely damage the Tianzhu sailors.

But now it is winter, the wind is blowing from the northeast to the southwest, once the war starts, the Tianzhu sailors will occupy the upper wind direction, if the first battle is lost, they are likely to have a warship to take advantage of the wind and never return, sail directly into the sea, venture across the Bay of Bengal, back to Tianzhu, with the current weather, their possible survival is not small, in that case, although the victory is achieved, but the goal of heavy damage or total annihilation will be frustrated.

"If you want to completely annihilate the Tianzhu Water Division, you have to let them have no time to escape after the first confrontation is frustrated." Zhuge said in a straight voice: "If there is a war here, they have the upper hand, in order to speed up, they will definitely puff up their sails, so that once they find that the situation is not right, they will flee with the situation." And we are down, and when the sails are raised, we will chase after them, and we will waste some time. The Tianzhu people have nearly three hundred warships, plus all kinds of baggage ships are about more than five hundred, the first confrontation, we expect to sink their one hundred warships, this is already the most ideal estimate, one hundred warships is three percent of the Tianzhu warships, if this leads to a cross-sea pursuit, at most kill them a hundred warships, it is estimated that at least two percent of the Tianzhu warships can return to Tianzhu. We may be able to intercept their supplies, but if we want to annihilate their ships, we will have to go through a long sea pursuit, and it will be a great danger if they scatter and flee and become gangsters. ”

All the generals nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with Zhuge Zhi's analysis, and they roughly estimated that it would be difficult to completely annihilate the Tianzhu Water Division, but there were few who analyzed it as carefully as Zhuge Zhi, and after listening to Zhuge Zhi's words, their faces became even heavier, as if they were going to defeat the battle. Yang Xiu and Xiahou Rong saw it in their eyes, exchanged a look with a clear heart, and smiled silently bitterly.

"The focus of the total annihilation of the Tianzhu Water Division is, firstly, to reduce the speed at which they escape, and secondly, it is best to trap them. Reducing the speed is to let them lower the sails, whether they take the initiative to lower or not, whether we shoot down or not, in short, to make them unable to run, trap them, the best place is here. The bamboo whip in Zhuge Zhi's hand pointed all the way upward, straight to the mouth of Lijiang, a little heavier: "Lead them here for a decisive battle, use a few fighting ships to block them upstream, and use a few building ships to block them on the periphery, and they will be unable to fly." ”

"And what about them abandoning the boat and going ashore?" A general asked.

"We're hitting boats, not people." The corners of Zhuge straightened his mouth, and the bamboo whip was lightly tapped in his hand: "Even if they go ashore, they can't escape far, can they still travel thousands of miles back to Tianzhu on foot?" There are still Shan countries in the north to block us, but we have to consider that we can't let them enter the territory of Taizhou in the east. ”

Sun Shao nodded again and again, Zhuge Zhi's plan was good, and it directly extended his tactics of showing weakness, carried out the pretending to the end, and simply led the Tianzhu Naval Division to the mouth of Lijiang for encirclement and annihilation. As long as the Tianzhu Sailor enters this narrow sea area, whether they want to escape by water or by land, this Sailor is basically ruined.

"Do you have any opinions, but please speak up." Sun Shao raised his head, looked at the generals and said. As soon as the generals heard this, they knew that Sun Shao had agreed to Zhuge Zhi's plan, so they began to discuss and refine this plan, and soon, Sun Shao decided on the implementation personnel of each task, and at the same time ordered the building ships and baggage boats hiding behind him to continue to retreat south, and first rushed to the mouth of Lijiang to ambush.

After arranging all this, Sun Shao stood up and said to Cui Qian with a smile: "Jianzhong, it seems that your popularity is not very good." ”

Cui Qian shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "The minister is willing to be a lone minister, he just wants to follow the king across the world, and he doesn't want to mix with stinky fish and rotten shrimp." ”

"Poof!" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing out loud, and when the generals heard it, they also laughed and scolded. Cui Qian was serious, and there was no smile on his face. Sun Shao laughed twice, and said: "That's it, I'll mediate with you, what about you, make some sacrifices this time, and make some efforts for you to surround the Tianzhu Water Master, and everyone can remember you a little bit in the future." You say don't you? ”

The generals looked at each other, not knowing what Sun Shao could do, but Cui Qian was very happy, patted his chest and said: "Since the king said so, then I will be wronged, but we are good men, and after this time, no one can say that I eat alone." ”

"Don't worry, I promise there won't be." Sun Shao said with confidence: "The task of this fraud will be handed over to you." ”

"What? Fraud? Cui Qian, who was full of smiles, jumped up suddenly, his eyes widened.
