On December 3, the 5th delivered a crucial piece of information.

"Let's take a look, know yourself and know that the other side can not be defeated. ”

Wang Xuan handed a special piece of paper to Wang Yu, and said with some guilt, "They are the unsung heroes." ”

Everyone understands that they come from the lord's inner guard, and at a young age, they give up all their worries, wear masks, and wander on the edge of life and death.

The driving force that supports them to persist is the indestructible steel faith in their hearts and the indelible attachment to auspiciousness.

They are heroes and pride.

"Intelligence analysis, the headquarters of the coalition army is located in the south of Xiazhou City, the Jingqu of the eleven counties and districts directly under the jurisdiction of the royal capital, and the Bianhe River, which originates in Dongshan, flows here, which is the best water passage, and large and small warships can go down the river to the Xingyao River. ”

"If you go down the river, won't you enter the Xingyao River through the Pingdagang area?" a combat staff officer pointed to the map.

"Exactly, according to intelligence, the upper reaches of the Bianhe River are crowded with large and small warships, and there are still ships that continue to converge from the west of the Beixingyao River and go upriver through Pingda Port. The official explanation given is to celebrate the birth of the new king and conduct a naval exercise. ”

Wang Yu waved the paper in his hand, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, and his tone was disdainful, "But fortunately, the forbidden army did not participate." ”

"Then can we?" Qin Chao of the logistics department moved and proposed a risky plan.

"Fire attack?" Wang Yu said, "No." ”

"Indeed, it is not possible to do it in public or private. ”

Wang Xuan also agreed with Wang Yu's opinion.

At first, he also wanted to move, but when he checked the topographic map, he was instantly shocked into a cold sweat.

Within the sphere of influence of the royal capital, the population is dense, especially on both sides of the Bianhe River, there are many houses, ships come and go frequently, and commerce is prosperous.

One of the most important points is that these houses are built on the river, all of which are made of wood, and once burned, they can be burned all the way down the river from east to west.

With little rain in December, it will turn into a living purgatory.

It's not that Wang Xuanwei is great, but once it causes such catastrophic consequences, auspiciousness will be the enemy of the whole world, and it is not such a way to do it.

"But in order to buy time, it is still possible to do a little damage. ”

Wang Yu looked at the Minister of Logistics, Qin Chao, who suddenly realized, explosives!

"I think it is feasible, no matter how high or low the damage effect is, it can always disrupt the existing deployment and delay their dispatch time. ”

Xiao Qiangzhi also agreed with Wang Yu's opinion and expressed his support.

"I also agree that the staff can design a plan. Wang Xuan said with a smile.

"Then, which is more suitable, a viper or a great white shark?" Xiao Qiangzhi was a little eager to try.

"Whoever the staff thinks is suitable, it will send whomever it wants. ”

At the same time, the Jing district, the command of the coalition forces.

"Report, General Yu, the ships of the three collars of Gujiang, Shaogang, and Helong have arrived, a total of ninety-six. ”

"These wealthy leaders along the river are still hidden, let the commander of the navy take over the ring. ”

The guard answered, and gave the order.

"General, is the 10,000 troops of the army a little thin, our Liu clan territory is willing to send 2,000 troops for Commander Liu. ”

Tang Zhixin turned his head and glanced at Liu Dong on the right side, and said unhurriedly, "You are the commander of the army, what do you think?"

Liu Dongmu did not squint, and said calmly, "This crusade is auspicious, mainly based on the navy, supplemented by the army's flanks, and 10,000 people are enough." ”

Since Commander Liu has such an attitude, the representative of Liu's territory has no choice but to give up, and this credit is not easy to earn.

Other delegates who had the same idea also gave up their minds.

As for the provision of ships and sailors, forget it, it is only afforded by wealthy territories along the river.

"Now there are enough warships, but there is still a shortage of the materials promised by the various leaders, no later than ten days, weapons, armor, vegetables and meat must be ready, otherwise it will be punished as disobedience to the battle, and the post-war distribution qualification will be cancelled. ”

Everyone who resists or disobeys doesn't care, they are all armies composed of various leaders, and no one is more noble than anyone, even the general, you are also voted for, but you have no right to dispose of the lord of a lord.

But if you say that you will be disqualified from post-war distribution because of this, it will make everyone uncomfortable, why attack auspicious, not for profit, this is called drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle!

As a result, the representatives of the wealthy territories along the river in the alliance spoke one after another, guaranteeing that the supplies would be delivered within the time limit and would not affect the army's march.

"Very well, I hope you keep your word. Now the appointment of the navy is announced, and after receiving the appointment, the generals will immediately report to the various yamen. ”

When they heard that the appointment of the generals of the navy army was announced, the drowsy people immediately came to their senses, and they were all in high spirits.

"The transport fleet counts fifty ships, fleet commander: Mingxiao, raise enough supplies within ten days and act according to orders. ”

"The combat fleet is divided into six teams, the first fleet is a small yacht sentinel ship, a total of 30 ships, with Luo Tianhan as the fleet commander. ”

"The Second Fleet is a medium-sized fast pursuit ship, numbering fifty ships, with Jin Liang as the commander of the fleet. ”

"The Third Fleet is a medium-sized fighting ship, with a total of 20 ships, with Zhou Hua as the fleet commander. ”

"The Fourth Fleet is also a medium-sized fighting ship, the same number as the Third Fleet, with Lian Junyou as the fleet commander. ”

"The Fifth Fleet is a large warship, with a total of thirty warships, with Du Dian as the commander of the fleet. ”

"The Sixth Fleet is the same as the Fifth Fleet, with Zhao Feiyu as the commander of the fleet. ”

"The commanders of the remaining ships shall submit an application by the fleet commander and report to the commander of the navy for review. Sailors will be deployed uniformly after integration. ”

"The army has a total of 11,000 men, consisting of four combat armies and two supply battalions, and each minister is appointed by the commander Liu Dong and submitted to the coalition command for review. ”

As soon as the appointment was made, there were two very different reactions on the spot.

The appointed individuals, as well as the representatives of their territories, fell into ecstasy for a while, and having the right to speak was equivalent to having the right to distribute.

The territory that has nothing to gain is a helpless face, you are polite, people are more polite, and whoever is poor suffers.

After some excitement, the commanders of the new section went to the navy yamen to report, the captains of each ship are still to be decided, and they will be busy next.

Thirty representatives of the territory also left, bringing the news back.

There are still two hundred and thirty captains to choose, even if there is no place for the navy, and there is still the army, the territory should have made plans in advance.

In the headquarters of the coalition forces, there was a crowd of people, and a huge topographic map in the middle of the north wall marked the auspicious layout of the lake embankment in detail, and vaguely noted the location of the Hunan military port, and even the deployment of troops everywhere was very close to the actual number.

auspicious, a little careless.

On December 7, the news of the coalition arrived by land, and at the same time, the great white sharks were also dispatched.

On the same day, the Xishan Lord, the Sun Lord's Mansion.

Gu Yongnian's expression was serious, staring at Sun's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I didn't say no, can I delay it for a few more days, some ships are still floating in Xingyao Lake, how can I say that I can summon it. ”

"Words, I have brought, the advantages and disadvantages are also told according to the truth, how to choose is yours, not auspicious. ”

At this point, Sun's wax was sitting, not because he was reluctant to have twenty medium-sized transport ships, but because he was worried about the impact of a series of follow-ups.

Although he didn't know who Jixiang's enemy was this time, he knew that Jixiang had implemented a wartime military management system, which showed the strength of the enemy.

If it is given, auspiciousness wins, then what you get is not only money, but also an indestructible friendship.

If auspicious fails, as an accomplice, he will suffer a complete reckoning and be killed.

If you don't give it, the auspiciousness will be gone, and you will have to make some blood, buy peace, and ask them to mediate the grievances of the sunset and the sunset.

If you don't give it, Jixiang wins, it's a big deal not to get along, Jixiang shouldn't attack his Xishan Territory, no matter how you say that you are stronger than Chiyan, although you are not as rich as Chiyan.

After thinking about it like this, Sun also made a decision in his heart.

"It's not that I can't bear to let these twenty cargo ships go, but most of them are in transit, and it's difficult to convene them for a while, so I ask you to give more grace, and as soon as the freight stops, they will immediately converge and sail to auspiciousness. ”

Gu Yongnian sighed deeply, and when he turned to leave, he looked back at the Sun family with a smile on his face, opened his mouth several times, and finally left quietly.

Sun looked at Gu Yongnian's stubborn figure in the distance, and felt a little irritable in his heart, so he called Zou Qiao.

"It is good to be able to keep and on, and it is not thin to treat us auspiciously, such allies are not easy to find. ”

"I also know, but this time auspiciousness may not escape bad luck, I am the lord of Xishan, not the lord of auspiciousness. ”

"The Lord is right, but what if the auspiciousness is kept?"

"It's impossible, when the 20,000 troops of Chiyan attacked, it was a catastrophe for the fledgling Jixiang, and the territory was not mobilized in wartime at that time, and now, Jixiang is already under military control. ”

However, Ji Xiang finally guarded it, and it also accounted for half of the red flame. ”

"So, at that time, Red Flame was attacking by land, and they were confident that they could hold it, but now, the enemy may come from the water, and the Mascot has always been confident in his new warship, but he has come to ask for a transport ship, so it can be seen that they themselves have lost their faith, how can I have faith in them. ”

"Hey, this auspiciousness is also fateful, and the Lord does not need to worry, after all, we have a clear conscience. ”

Yes, with a clear conscience.

December 8, New Song Town.

The slope of the cliff has been cleared out of a large area, and they will be used to grow stevia.

The ancestor of the Song clan stood at the mouth of the gray canyon, looking at the invisible anxiety in the east, his figure was thin and his expression was silent.

"Ancestor, it's windy here, let's go back to the house. ”

"Please come here and call Song Yi as well. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he leaned on the fine wooden crutches that Jixiang had made for him, leaned over, avoided the support of the maid, and walked step by step towards the way he came.

"What else can we do?"

"Live well. ”

Zhou Xiao only said these four words from beginning to end.

"Xiaoyi, let's go with the security team, many people have more strength, at home, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Song Yi nodded silently and patted Zhou Xiao's shoulder, which was an auspicious gesture to show good luck.

On the 9th, the only 200 young men of the New Song Dynasty, dressed in thick mist, crossed the potholed gray canyon and embarked on the road of resistance with an uncertain future.

"The owner, New Song Town has sent another two hundred young people, and it may be the last batch. ”

Guo Wei stretched out his hand to adjust the copper-framed glasses on the bridge of his lower nose, he was short-sighted, he had just picked it in the small commodity market, it might be a little big, and he always wanted to cry.

"All the boats are ready?"

"Yes, the Admiralty has come to receive it and issued us a certificate. ”

As he spoke, the steward took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was stamped with the official seal of the Admiralty, and Guo Wei, who was wearing glasses, could see clearly that the chapter was a little dazzling.

"Then send unnecessary items and food to the logistics department. ”

"Then, the house is going to be empty!"

The steward hesitated.

"If you are there, these things will be there at any time, and when you are dead, they will no longer be there. ”

The steward nodded, and walked away.

"Daddy. ”

"Packed up?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then go, don't embarrass our old Guo family. ”

"You'll be proud of me. ”

The young boy carried his bag on his back, kowtowed respectfully three times, and got up to leave.

"Hey, the prescription of these glasses is really big, and I have to change to a smaller pair tomorrow. ”

Guo Wei took off his glasses, rubbed his reddened eyes, and muttered to himself in the darkness outside the door.
