Chapter 172: Huge Pirates

After Li Yang and Dong Su discussed the news of special products and cherished timber, they said goodbye to Dong Su and left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a few more days, news came from Gan Ning's side that the den of the pirates had been found by them.

Since Li Yang and the others returned, Gan Ning sent people to the waters around Bohai County to search for the whereabouts of these pirates.

Because there was no specific information about this group of pirates, the people sent out by Gan Ning searched for a week before finally finding the hiding place of the pirates.

After getting the news, Li Yang found Zhang Liang and went to Yunjiao Town with him, and he wanted to go with Zhang Liang to see the specific situation of this group of pirates.

When Gan Ning heard that Li Yang was going to see it in person, he was a little hesitant, but seeing that Li Yang insisted repeatedly, he finally agreed.

Subsequently, Gan Ning led Li Yang and the others onto a high-level warship, and rushed to the location of the pirates with several low-level speedboats.

The lair of this group of pirates is in the Bohai Sea realm, so it is not too far from Tianyun, and it has arrived at the speed of a high-level warship for seven hours.

Li Yang and the others set off in the morning and sailed on the sea for another seven hours, and by the time they arrived at the island where the pirates were, it was already dark.

However, Li Yang and the others were far away, and they could clearly see the small island illuminated by the firelight in the distance.

Although it was still far away, it was impossible to see anything, but Gan Ning, as a water expert, could see at a glance that this small island was obviously much larger than the small island where Han Shark and they were.

Although it is dark now, it is also a good time for Li Yang and others to spy on the intelligence of the pirates, after all, if it is in the daytime, on this endless sea, if a ship approaches, it will definitely be discovered as soon as possible.

In order not to be discovered, Gan Ning and the others stopped the high-level warship at a distance from the island.

Then Gan Ning took Li Yang and Zhang Liang onto a low-level clipper, and personally drove the clipper to the island where the pirates were.

Although it was already night, there were still a lot of sporadic fires shuttling across the sea on the periphery of the island, and Li Yang knew that those patrols were probably pirates.

However, Gan Ning's boat skills are very powerful, and after figuring out the patrol rules of these ships, he took advantage of their gap and quickly passed through their patrol area.

On the outer sea of the island, a large number of warships were densely docked together, and Li Yang also found a lot of high-level warships from this pile of warships.

Gan Ning drove the small boat, and slowly approached the island through the gap in these warships, until everyone could see the situation on the island.

On the whole island, there are no high mountains, the terrain is relatively flat, and the lights are bright, so Li Yang and they can also see farther and more clearly.

Li Yang and the others looked at it and found that the island was full of wooden houses and a large number of people drinking and dancing.

Li Yang frowned and looked at the crowd on the island and said to Zhang Liang, "Ovary, do you estimate how many of these pirates there are?" ”

Zhang Liang replied: "Big brother, judging from the warships on the sea and the fires on the island, this group of pirates is probably no less than 200,000 people!" ”

Li Yang couldn't help but feel worried when he heard Zhang Liang's answer, although they didn't observe the whole situation of the island, but Li Yang believed Zhang Liang, since Zhang Liang said so, it must be eight or nine from ten.

All the troops in Tianyun Town are now combined, and they are only a hundred thousand, which is not as large as the number of these pirates.

Moreover, the number of Tianyun's naval army is even smaller, Gan Ning has already recruited those prisoners to surrender, but the naval army is only more than 10,000 people.

Even if Tianyun vigorously develops the water army in the next two months, it is unlikely that he will be able to form an army that can exterminate 200,000 pirates.

Li Yang knew that if he wanted to defeat these pirates, he might have to rely on outwitting, and if he couldn't outwit them, he would have to give up.

Li Yang informed Zhang Liang of his thoughts, and then asked Zhang Liang with an embarrassed face: "Ovary, do you have any way?"

Zhang Liang did not answer Li Yang's question, but suggested to Li Yang: "Big brother, this is not the place to speak, now that the external intelligence has basically been explored, let's go back to Tianyun first." ”

Li Yang turned his head to look at Zhang Liang's expression, and knew that Zhang Liang must have thought of something.

Then, under the guidance of Gan Ning, the boat quietly moved away from the island.

After returning to the high-level warship, Li Yang asked excitedly: "Ofan, have you thought of any way, tell me quickly." ”

Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "This group of pirates is huge in number and has strict reconnaissance, even in the dark of night, we still don't let down our vigilance, if it weren't for General Gan's superb skills, we wouldn't be able to get close to the island." ”

When Li Yang heard Zhang Liang say this, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

"In addition, Liang is not proficient in naval warfare, so if he wants to defeat this group of pirates from the outside, Liang can't think of any good way."

Hearing that Zhang Liang had no choice, Li Yang couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment, if he couldn't even think of any good way to conspire with Zhang Liang, then this task could only be lost.

At this time, Zhang Liang immediately said: "Big brother, these pirates are powerful, unless there is a hurricane talisman from the outside, I really can't do anything, but we can try it from the inside." ”

"Internal?" Li Yang said suspiciously.

Zhang Liang nodded affirmatively and said: "That's right, big brother, since they are pirates, then there will definitely be internal contradictions, as long as we send people to blend in with the pirates and intensify this contradiction, it is very likely that this group of pirates will be defeated." ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Li Yang's eyes couldn't help but light up, Li Yang was not stupid, he just couldn't get up with Zhang Liang anymore, and he couldn't be smart.

Now after Zhang Liang's story, he instantly figured it out.

There are a huge number of pirates, and there must be a lot of internal contradictions, so as long as you send people to blend in with this group of pirates, intensify these contradictions, and cause them to fight each other, you can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

When they are torn apart, they are leading the water army of Tianyun, and they will definitely be able to annihilate this group of water thieves in one fell swoop.

However, Li Yang thought of a key question again.

To send people to infiltrate the pirates, they must first find out the contradictions within the pirates, and then find ways to intensify these contradictions, and they must not let people detect that they are the work of outsiders.

Moreover, the time limit for this imperial court task is three months, and now a week has passed, so this task must be completed in two and a half months.

The island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and it is very far from the shore, if it is discovered by pirates, it is not counted, and this person has only one way to die.

So it's definitely a difficult espionage job.

Li Yang frowned and asked Zhang Liang, "Ofan, who do you think is the most suitable for this job?" ”

At this time, Gan Ning, who was standing on the side, preempted Zhang Liang and said, "Lord, I have been a water thief before, so I am more suitable for this task." ”

As a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, Gan Ning can naturally guess the risk, but with Gan Ning's character, how can he be afraid of this risk.

Zhang Liang said: "General Gan is brave and resourceful, and he is indeed the most suitable candidate. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang shook his head again, and then continued: "However, General Gan, as the president of the Tianyun Navy, needs to step up the training of the navy, and he may have to fight with the pirates in the end, so General Gan can't go." ”

Gan Ning was a little excited when he heard Zhang Liang say that he was the most suitable, and then heard Zhang Liang's words, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Zhang Liang continued: "Big brother, I think that apart from General Gan, the most suitable person is Liang. ”

Li Yang was shocked when he heard Zhang Liang recommend himself, and then quickly shook his head and said: "No, Zifang Er has only one life, but my life is innumerable, so I can't gamble with your life." ”

Li Yang couldn't help but be stunned after speaking, and then then said to Zhang Liang: "Ofan, what do you think I should do with this task?" ”

Zhang Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "No, as the eldest brother, how can he be in danger, this is ......"

Zhang Liang wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Li Yang, "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say anything more about the ovary; Let's go back to Tianyun and get ready, and then I'll try to blend in. ”

Zhang Liang saw that Li Yang was so decisive, and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he stopped persuading. (To be continued.) )
