Former Yuling Zhicheng.

Great Quest for Generalissimo's Palace.

The marquis Wuyanle walked quickly into the garden, but saw the king sitting in the pavilion.

"How do you take care of the king? On a snowy day, there wasn't even a stove in the pavilion! He reproached the servants of humanity.

"Don't blame them, I said no." Wu Yanshu coughed twice.

"Wang, since you feel the cold, you should stay in the house." Uyanle stepped forward to persuade him.

"When Mo Zi broke up with me categorically, she once said a word. Pretending to be sick is a thing that comes true by pretending. Wu Yanshu smiled bitterly, "In the past two years, my health has been much worse than before, let's just say that this little wind chill has been a month, right?" ”

"Yuling is cold in winter, which is very different from most of them. It was the first time the king had spent the winter here, and it was normal for him not to adapt. But please relax and recuperate, and you will recover naturally. Wu Yanle looked at his brother's pale face, and did not dare to let out the slightest worry. He also thought that his brother would not think about Mo Zi anymore, but he still didn't seem to have completely let go.

Wu Yanshu didn't see his brother's thoughts, got up and walked into the house, "You are in a hurry, do you have a military situation to report?" "The New Year will be in half a month, but this year is not good.

On the surface, it seemed easy for the Daqiu army to take Pingcheng Song County, but in fact, the Song army organized a small counterattack force and had killed tens of thousands of his soldiers. And when attacking Hengcheng, he encountered a frontal battle, and the opponent's losses were not small, and his losses were even greater. 1,000 warships against 300 Song ships, although all the Song ships were destroyed, but 700 ships were lost on their side. Yuan Cheng Chuyu became his number one opponent, coupled with Mo Zi's shipbuilding power, he sometimes wondered if he had made a wrong decision, and he should deal with Da Zhou, who was a strong foreign powerhouse.

The rapid round of offensive slowed down because of such huge losses, and the great demand for national strength and the arrival of the cold winter led to a significant reduction in the production of armaments, grain and grass, and almost all the people of Yuling escaped from Tajiang, and the years of war exhausted the original wealth of Yuling. It is difficult to find a source of money to fill the treasury. Most of his soldiers can't plant in the fields and can't get under the ground, they are heroes on horseback, stupid hands in the rice fields, and they don't know anything about farm work. Nor can they be like the Song people, who farm in peacetime and hold a knife in wartime. At this time, he deeply felt the ills of emphasizing military force over agriculture and industry. But at the same time, he also didn't understand why their armaments and materials were constantly flowing as a new Song Dynasty born from rotten ground. Why can the imperial court bear such a huge expense? As far as he knew, the Song Dynasty reduced taxes and encouraged the prosperity of all industries, and even if the homes of corrupt officials filled the treasury, there were more places to make money. So far, his spies have heard that the shipyard is building warships at an alarming rate. They say, it's called assembly work. Fifty or sixty workshops were opened, each specializing in a part of the ship. It was sent to the official yard for assembly.

Thinking of this, the name that made his heart ache pulled Xiōng's mouth again.

"It doesn't matter to you, King?" Uyanle saw his brother come out of his mind again. Sigh in my heart.

"It's okay, you can say it." Wu Yanshu's heart disease is difficult to treat, so he can only put all his heart and soul on the great cause.

Wu Yanle replied, "Our warships on the western flank have been lost a lot of them recently for no reason, and I suspect that the Song army is secretly playing tricks, so I ask Wang to allow me to investigate." ”

"Lost for no reason?" Wu Yanshu sneered after thinking for a while: "It must be the Song Army's sneak attack." The Song army was only six or seven hundred thousand, and the South China Sea had just been pacified, so they did not dare to send troops to help. There were more than ten battles in Hengcheng, and there were less than half of them left. When the spring dawned, I begged the cavalry of all ethnic groups to arrive, and there was no choice but to cross the river and flee back. Therefore, now I can only engage in some small actions of stealing chickens and dogs. You don't have to go in person, order the wings to tighten and don't act alone. Guarded. In this day of freezing death, can they still swim ashore to carry out a surprise attack? ”

"Your Majesty, I ......" Uyanle still wanted to find out.

"You are my own brother and brother, and the person I trust the most, I need you to stay here and help me." Wu Yanshu mentioned another person, "Let Duange hunt." ”

"It's okay, Duange Hunting is familiar with the water xìng boat energy, and he wants to take over the Duange clan, and it will be good for him to have more achievements." Uyanle agreed.

Duange Hunt was ordered to go to the west wing, and from there across the river was Huazhou of the Great Zhou.

"General, it's also strange that thirty patrol boats were sent last month, but seven or eight of them were missing. I thought it might be the Song army who attacked and led the ship to look for it, but I didn't even see a corpse. "The head of the water village will report to him as soon as he sees him.

"Have you also found the waters of Dazhou?" Duange asked.

"Da Zhou?" The first general felt that he couldn't "go here to the Great Wednesday Mountain and five rivers, and there are hundreds of my warships guarding the pass valley at the boundary of the water, and any movement will alarm us, and it can only be the Song army." But now that the cities of Jiangzhen in the West Wing are under the control of Daqiu, I can't figure out where they are hiding. At the beginning of the month, two more boats were lost. The great general forgives the sin, but the last general is incompetent. ”

"Do you know the approximate location of the ship's loss?" Duange didn't have time to argue about the crime, and he had a gut feeling that he needed to solve the mystery as soon as possible.

The chief shook his head and pointed to the map, "These red dots are where the missing ships are going. After the first disappearance of the ship, I paid attention to it, in groups of three or four, but I still couldn't stop it. Although there are many mountains in this area, there are many steep cliffs or steep waterways, and it is difficult to hide if you do not enter the town port. ”

Duange hunted to see the red dots, the distribution is irregular, "In addition to our boats, what other boats are there on the river?" ”

"Fishing boats, cargo ships, but they must have a license plate issued by us, and every boat entering the port is checked. In these extraordinary times, I can guarantee that no one is lazy or takes bribes. "Because of the lack of silver, I had to let the people continue to earn a living and earn military supplies for them.

"The king's order, tighten the wings, avoid more losses, hold the towns along the river, and beware of the Song army from landing on the shore." Duange Hunt can't see the fame, so he can only pass orders for the time being.

The next day, Duangagan personally led a team of warships to inspect the river.

Although fishing boats and merchant ships under the management of Daqiu were allowed to walk, the river was quiet. It is rare to see one or two boats, and indeed as the chief general said, they are all from nearby towns, and they are well-founded. Moreover, the equipment is simple and the size of the ship is small, so it is impossible to make the patrol ship disappear silently.

For three days in a row, Duange Hunting did not find anything unusual. When he thought the other party was in trouble and retreated, he got the bad news that a supply warship heading to the water realm was missing. At this moment when military rations are scarce, it is very serious to have a whole shipload of supplies. He wanted to block the entire line along the river and prevent ships from leaving the port, but the order would take time to come down and be issued. The only way to do this is to take a closer look at all the ships.

On this day, Duange Hunting encountered a cargo ship. In terms of size, it is comparable to a warship, tall and wide. Although very dilapidated, the basic structure is sturdy. He felt suspicious and asked the other party to stop the boat.

"Where did you come from, where are you going?" He asked.

The merchant was black and short, and his small eyes were scared, "I came from Liujiagang and went to the city to buy grain." ”

"Is there any trust?" Duange hunting trampled under his feet, and the sound of emptiness.

"Yes, yes." The merchant took out the voucher.

It is stamped with the official seal, and there is a letter of guarantee from the generals of the military village, and there is no sign of forgery. Duange returned it to him, and still ordered the soldiers to search the entire boat.

After a moment, the soldiers said that they had found nothing.

Duange Hunt was about to leave, but seeing the relieved expression of the merchant, his heart moved, and he turned back, "It's not easy for you to take a trip, as far as I know, you generally don't pick up the goods by empty ship, you always have to transport the goods to sell first, and then buy the goods." Why don't you do that? ”

The merchant was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "The small one only buys and sells rice and grain." Originally, I was supposed to go to Fengzhou to sell rice, but this year it was not successful, so I had to buy rice. In previous years, when it was good, I helped others bring goods. However, now that the recession is going on, "it's hard to say that it's all about asking people to fight wars."

How can Duange Hunt not hear it", I also know that it is difficult to do business. Still, there's one more place to check. ”

The merchant asked respectfully, "The general only checks, and the small one is a serious businessman." ”

"Come on." Duange Hunt summoned a group of soldiers, "Dig a few holes in the bottom of the ship for me to see if there are any hidden cabins." ”

The merchant was shocked, "General, this ...... What does this say? A hole was cut in the bottom of the ship, and the ship sank. This boat is not mine, but I rented it at a great price. I can't afford to pay for it. General, show mercy to your subordinates, there is really no secret cabin. ”

"The person I know, as long as she builds a boat, anything is possible." If you are unlucky, I have a gut feeling that this ship is dangerous, and I must be relieved to let you live safely. ”

The merchant looked confused, not knowing what Duange Hunt meant.

"The archers are ready, beware of the ferocity. Don't shoot in a lethal place, I want to live. He put his arms on the side of the ship, raised his eyebrows and waited. Somehow, he was looking forward to seeing the woman again.

"General, there is no hidden cabin under the ship's board, and it has leaked water." However, the soldier did not meet his expectations.

"Didn't you?" Duange Hunt was disappointed, and waved his hand lightly, "Go back to the boat and go." ”

The merchant shouted, "General, this ship is leaking, what should we do?" I'm sorry you can take us back to Hong Kong to repair it. ”

Duange didn't reply, "It's just a few small holes, and it's all over with a cloth." Hurry up, otherwise you will be a Song person, not to mention the boat, the people are gone, and it will only be an instant. ”

The merchant covered his mouth, where did he dare to speak out. However, when the boat was far away, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he turned and walked towards the bilge.

There was a man standing in the cabin, the jade tree was in the wind, the water was overflowing his ankles, and he was still smiling like a breeze.

"Brother Ten, they're gone." The short black man scratched his face, and the paint tickled his skin.

The one who is called the tenth brother is Mo Zi's cousin, who is more chic and handsome than Min Song, and almost ordered the Mandarin Duck spectrum with Mo Zi, Min Zhen.

The black dwarf is the eighteenth lang of the Min family - Min Gui.

"Get the waterwheel out and head back at full speed." The bottom of the boat is a false bottom, the water is loaded in advance, and the real bottom hides the "real murderers" who recently made the Daqiu boat disappear, Min Zhen said, "They have tightened the flanks so tightly, they can pass all of them tonight." ”

"Okay." Min Gui gave the order to go down.

It was night, dozens of jet-black boats, passing quietly from the wide water, and not even a ghost was encountered.

The ship had a strange appearance, high and flat, with a large deck, no cabins, a chariot on it, and a horse in its belly. The soldiers were three or four hundred, and they stood on their heels.

Its name is called, troop carriers.!.
