At this time, the director of this place is Wuqiu Yuan, the son of Wuqiu Shou. Last month, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother decided to secretly transfer him over to take charge of the affairs here.

One is that he is inconspicuous in the court, and no ghost will notice him, and such a human soul is very suitable for secret work. The second is that when this ghost was in the school palace, he learned to govern the country and espionage, and with the words and deeds of his father Wu Qiu Shou, he was also handy in espionage work.

Knowing people and making good use of this is exactly what Ghost Mother and Xiao Shizhu are good at.

And Wuqiu Yuan did not disappoint them, as soon as he arrived here, he gave Emperor Xudu a lesson in the real and the false. After classifying the information of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms, he sent the information on strengthening military defense and recruiting troops as scheduled to Emperor Xudu word for word, while for other types of information, such as the information on the increase of troops for Dongyizhou, it was changed to the information on the urgent transportation of grain to Dongyizhou, and there was no mention of the increase of troops. This trick made the Emperor Xudu also mistakenly believe that the military food reserves in the Nine Shadows Kingdom were already empty, and there was about to be a crisis of declining food reserves in the country.

As a result, even the Emperor Xudu mistakenly thought that Xiao Shizhu, who was in Dongyi Continent, was about to run out of rice to cook.

Xiao Shizhu agreed to Wu Qiuyuan's plan, and his intention was to make the Emperor Xudu mistakenly think that he was in trouble in Dongyizhou, so that he would be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and would not mobilize too many troops to suppress Dongyizhou, so that his situation would not be so stressful.

However, the world is impermanent, although Emperor Xudu believed that he was indeed short of food and grass, he also sent a large army to suppress the border, and although Xiao Shizhu did not suffer a big loss, he was very difficult.

Whether it is in Manjiang City or Junzi Port, there is a disadvantage of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800. However, in only one day of fighting, tens of thousands of sergeants were killed and wounded, and dozens of warships were damaged. Not to mention the fortifications on Heisong Island, which had been built with great manpower, material and financial resources before the war, and the damage to these fortifications was even more serious, and they had to be rebuilt 100% after the war.

However, there are also unexpected gains, it can be said that Xia Mao bumped into a dead mouse, that is, the Emperor Xudu heard that the grain and grass in the Nine Shades Country was short and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob it, and immediately sent the grain merchants of the Northern Yin Dynasty to take the opportunity to bring a large amount of ghost grain into the Nine Shades Country and sell it at a high price.

Emperor Xudu just wanted to do something in the Nine Shadows Country, so that the market price of grain in the Nine Shadows Kingdom would rise, and the poor ghosts would not be able to eat food, while the rich ghosts would have a lot of grain. In such a situation, the disparity between the rich and the poor is too great, so that there is civil strife in the country of Jiuyou, so that the poor ghosts are dissatisfied with the court of Jiuyou, and there are riots and other things.

However, his plan seems to be a little inappropriate.

Xiao Shizhu, who was far away in Dongyizhou, naturally had no time to take care of this side of the matter, so everything was handed over to the ghost mother and Xiao Fuling to preside over the overall situation. The ghost mother's response strategy is that the government will collect the tariffs according to the amount as if they had nothing to do with these foreign grain merchants. On the one hand, after sending Xuanjiao disciples to disguise themselves as wealthy merchants, they purchased the grain of these grain merchants as the grain reserve of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, filling the shortage of grain and grass in various parts of the Nanban.

You must know that although the grain stock of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is far less than that of the Northern Yin Dynasty, it is more than enough; Moreover, the gold and silver treasures collected from Du Ziren, except for some of them, were taken out to reward the soldiers of the Jiuyou Army of the Southern Expedition, and after the soldiers and soldiers were given pensions, there was not a single son left, and all of them fell into Xiao Shizhu's treasury.

These treasures that Du Ziren has accumulated for thousands of years are enough for the Nine Shadows State to have the financial resources to sell all the stored grain in the Beiyin Dynasty short, and the Ghost Mother and Xiao Lingling are eager for Emperor Xudu to continue to stick to this confusion.

But if Emperor Xudu wants to persist in this confusion, the Xuanjiao disciples of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will have to act. While buying a large amount of ghost food brought by the grain merchants sent by the Northern Yin Dynasty, they began to do tricks in intelligence work.

Tonight, there will be a few false information that the grain in the Nine Shadows Country is still in short supply, and a copy of the Great Drought in the Southern Barbarians of the Nine Shadows Country, which has not been seen in a hundred years, and the crops that can produce ghost food have died a lot, will be sent out from this courtyard.

In addition, those grain merchants sent by the Northern Yin Dynasty were all deceived by the illusion of using Xuanjiao disciples to rob grain. After they returned to the Beiyin Dynasty for a while to boast, it could greatly strengthen the credibility of these false information.

The Xuanjiao disciples in the courtyard, who were extremely good at imitating other people's handwriting, revised some intelligence secret letters according to the code manuals and treasure books of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and sent them to Wu Qiu Yuan, who was sitting in the main hall.

Wu Qiu Yuan glanced at them one by one, and after reading them carefully, he found that there was nothing wrong with all kinds of secret words, handed them over to his subordinates, and said slowly: "Send them out according to their original channels." ”。

The subordinates took the secret report, nodded and left.

As expected, soon after this information was sent, Emperor Xudu would, as always, recruit those grain merchants in the Six Heavens Continent to cross the sea with the stored grain, and sell the grain and grass at a high price. At that time, the grain reserves of the Nine Shadows Country will be on a higher level again.

Thinking about this, Wu Qiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He stood up, took a long breath and relaxed a little, muttering to himself, "I don't know how the war is going on in the east, what is going on now......?"

On the sea of Huangquan, the supply ship of the Beiyin Water Division quietly stopped on the sea in the wind and rain, and swayed left and right in the turbulent waves.

These more than 300 supply ships are all made of periwinkle wood, which is solid and not easily corroded by seawater. All of them are sand boats with square heads and tails, spacious decks and small depths, and low freeboards. The use of girder arch technology, so that the deck can quickly discharge the waves, the ship is more than seven high masts and high sails, the mast length is more than seven zhang, about six zhang thick, plus the draft is shallow, the resistance is small, can sail quickly at sea, the seaworthiness performance is good;

In addition to carrying the grain and grass needed by the sailors of the Dian Tu Raccoon Dog, these supply ships that stopped here also contained fresh water.

The reason why the Raccoon Dog did not bring them with him was, firstly, that he hoped to increase the speed of his attack, so that he could be caught off guard by the Nine Shadows, and secondly, the shells were not long-sighted, and the Raccoon Dog did not want these supply ships to be damaged, causing the loss of his grain, grass and fresh water.

But he was also negligent in his sense of revenge, and he didn't expect the sergeant of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to give him a back and forth. Most of the ships in his sailors had just left the place, and the boats that had been dormant in the deep sea had risen from the bottom of the sea to the bottom of the supply ship, slowly raising their heads with their bows facing the bottom of the supply ships.

Compared with the warships that went to Junzi Harbor for the night attack, the sailors on the supply ships here were somewhat comfortable in the night rain.

In addition, the rainy night was full of cloudy air, and the ghosts and spirits were refreshed, and many sailors on the ship had already returned to the cabin to rest after the raccoon dog left.

Unaware of the danger lurking in the sea under the ship.

Although the Raccoon Dog also left 500 warships to defend these supply ships, the Nine Shadows Kingdom Wave Ship that suddenly appeared at the bottom of the ship made the frigates floating on the sea useless.

Today's Wave Boat is not what it used to be, not only the hull is larger and faster, but the four spirit pestles installed on it have also been improved and more powerful.

It was only then that these dozens of boats brought the two four-spirit pestles on the bow of their respective ships to the bottom of the enemy ship, and columnar beams of light immediately burst out from the pestle heads.

The sharp and dazzling beam of light flashed, and the sharp ghostly qi shot out, easily penetrating the bottom of the enemy ship. Broken wood rose with the surging seawater, forming a fountain in the enemy ships.

And the ghost qi that shot out of the four spirit pestles, according to the overcontrol of the over-controlled ghost, after entering the cabin, either turned into sharp pig iron or turned into thunder and lightning like a sharp sword, and flew upward, hitting other parts of the enemy's ship's hull.

The bottom of dozens of sand boats cracked, and the sea water instantly flooded the bottom silo, flooding the cargo piled up in the bottom silo.

The boats that attacked them then flattened their hulls and protruded from the top of the boats, forming two rows, with ten of four spirit pestles pointing at the sky and aiming at the bottom of these sand boats.

After the unification of the ghost qi shot out, the bilges of the sand ships that were locked by them were already full of holes. A huge amount of seawater water poured into the cabin, and the huge water pressure squeezed the bulkheads and keels, and in the blink of an eye, cracks sprouted on the keels and bulkheads, and continued to extend towards the surroundings.

The water reckless ghosts who stayed behind found the Falling Wave Boat of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and hurriedly cruised over, but found that the Falling Wave Boat was wrapped in iron sheets and embedded with steel plates that were indestructible. Although the fishbone weapons in the hands of the water reckless ghosts are relatively easy to engage in hand-to-hand combat in the seawater, in the face of the steel giants on the bottom of the sea, not to mention that they can hurt half a minute and a half, it is impossible to even cut a few white marks and white marks on the skin.

In the end, these water ghosts were either poked to death by the four spirit pestles, or they were pierced by the ghost qi shot out by the four spirit pestles, and they came to pierce their bodies and died.

The only thing they could do was to surface the sea and inform the Xudu army at sea that there was an enemy surprise attack underwater.

In the panic, the sailors of the Beiyin Water Division hurriedly moved* and threw themselves into the water from the boat. The appearance of the Beiyin Dynasty's * is very similar to that of the Nine Shadows Kingdom's underwater Dragon King Cannon, and the detonation principle is the same.

It can be triggered by impact, or it can be ignited to detonate.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Nine Shadows Naval Division in the boat saw * entering the sea through the periscope, and immediately tacitly and slowly sailed towards the deeper seabed one after another.

These* are the same as the underwater dragon king cannons of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they can only be attached to the sea, and cannot be sunk to the bottom of the sea. For a while, there were thousands of boats floating in the array*, but none of them could blow up the boat. And the Nine Shadows Country's Falling Wave Boat did not float, so it naturally couldn't hit these*, which made the Northern Yin Water Division helpless for a while.

They were helpless, but the Nine Shadows Army was happy.

The citoraccoon dog has always wondered why Xiancha, which did not appear in Junzi Harbor, rushed out of the thick dark clouds above the sky, bathed in wind and rain, and volleyed dozens of feet above the supply ship of the Beiyin Water Division.

The bomb cap on the bilge of Xiancha has been opened, and behind the pitch-black square mouth, there are 10,000 enemies and pomegranate thunders, and a fire dragon coming out of the water and falling from it. Like a thunderbolt from the sky, it exploded on the surface of the sea.

The sea rolled up a thousand huge waves, and the decks of the supply ships and frigates at sea exploded, and the Beiyin Dynasty* that was thrown into the sea was also ignited by the explosion. The Beiyin Water Master has become a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Under the violent explosion, the waves were fierce, and the warships at sea swayed violently. Everywhere you look, you can see the sparks of explosions, and there are also water jets that shoot straight up like gushing springs, and there is a great tendency to soar into the sky.

And above the sea, it was also instantly filled with broken wooden masts and charred black stumps with fire, and the scene was terrible.

More than 30 supply ships were sunk in the explosion when the second round of air raids at Xiancha was launched, and more than a dozen frigates were on fire on all sides.

The ship was full of food, grass and ammunition, and the fresh water also sank into the sea as the hull sank.

The Northern Yin Water Division of this Eastern Crusade will also run out of food because of this.
