A small boat sailed out of the water camp, and the sergeant on board conveyed the order of General Li Da that only Wang Shengbi and his servants were allowed to enter the camp, and the rest could only be moored outside. Even Wang Lin, who tied his arms and pleaded guilty, was directly ignored.

"Wang Zhengdong, you need to guard against the Qiang people's fraud!"

When the generals who entered here heard this request, they all whispered to remind Wang Seng to argue.

After hearing this, Wang Seng shook his head and said, "The reason why Li Boshan was able to force us to obey orders is not because of this. If he really wanted to break the previous covenant, he didn't have to make a gesture for it. I went in and asked for forgiveness, and you wait and wait here, and don't act rashly! ”

After saying this, Wang Shengbi took a few followers to board the other party's boat, and then entered the water camp.

"Aye, my son is here to be greeted by the general's order!"

Soon after Wang Shengbi and his entourage entered the water camp, Wang Xuan, who was standing on the water row, walked to the water's edge and shouted to his father with an excited expression.

After a long absence, after seeing this son, Wang Sengbi also had a little smile on his face, and after boarding the water row, he lifted his son and said in a deep voice: "Public first, then private, and then ask you how you are doing after meeting General Li!" ”

Although he was still maintaining his father's majesty, when he saw his son turn around and lead the way in front, Wang Seng Biao couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his son's back and said with a smile: "The boy's physique will win the father!" ”

In the big tent, when Li Tai saw Wang Seng Biankuo walking in, he also stood up from the banquet, pointed at the other party and said with a smile: "In the battle of Baling, Wang Zhengdong really won the wonderful battle!" Since then, no one in the river knows the prestige! ”

Seeing that Li Tai's attitude was still good, Wang Seng Debate first breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then turned around and said: "It is also a deep honor to be so praised by General Li. When Baling was besieged by the chaotic army, he still remembered the time before when he met in the city, and the general did not abandon him with a decaying body, but gave more encouragement and comfort, so he was able to hold on to the city and wait for the thief division to retreat, and he should also thank General Li! ”

Although he successfully dragged Hou Jing's main force and made it finally flee in the first battle of Baling, and defended the stability of Jiangling, Hou Jing also successfully fled east and deployed defenses along the way.

After congratulating Wang Sengbi, Li Tai motioned for him to sit down, and then the smile on his face also retracted, looked at Wang Sengbi and said in a deep voice: "So that madman Wang Lin is Wang Zhengdong's envoy to thank you?" ”

Wang Sangbi had just sat down, and after hearing this, he hurriedly stood up again, looked at Li Tai deeply and said: "Wang Lin is a slave of my master's door, because he is favored by the master, he has always been frivolous and paranoid, and now he is also a rebellious person in the army, and it is difficult for the monk to stop it. This offense is caused by Xinsheng's rashness, which is neither the original intention of our lord nor the monk's argument. ”

Although this Wang Lin is frivolous, he is not out of his mind. Artificial boats in the south and artificial riding and shooting in the north were the norm. Therefore, in the old years, I raised troops but did not see them, and they were provoked by them on the waterside. So, according to Wang Zhengdong's view, did I think in vain this time to bring shame on myself? ”

Hearing Li Tai say this, Wang Seng Debate hurriedly said: "After breaking the thief, transferring Zhujindu to General Li Da to assist in defense is a matter that my lord Chen Guiguo has decided. It is also natural for General Li to accept it in this way. Only because of this new thief division, there are still stubborn thieves entrenched in Yingcheng, and the monks debate and distribute all things, and it is too late to see each other, so that the arrogant soldiers will do this evil thing. If people do not stand without faith, will there be a difference between the agreed things because of the south boat and the north horse! ”

Hearing Wang Seng argue this, Li Tai's face gradually softened, and he said softly: "The reason why I only saw Wang Zhengdong was that in addition to talking very happily before, I was also afraid that I would be uncontrollable and kill people with a knife. Although Wang Lin is only a madman, but after all, he is a lackey under the king of Xiangdong, Wang Zhengdong is willing to come alone to see him, but he does not dare to hold his head in white, which shows that he is also afraid of this master and servant in his heart. If I force Wang Zhengdong to kill him, I am afraid that you will also be reprimanded......"

When Wang Seng Biao heard this, he opened his mouth to speak, but Li Tai waved his hand to signal that he should not be impatient, and then continued: "I can not delve into the sin of this madman, but he drove a boat and damaged my camp fence but it was all seen by my disciples, and now the crowd is angry, and if it is not guided, it will be difficult to control it."

I know that this matter was done by fanatics, but it is difficult for the military divisions to say one by one, whether it is to disturb Jiangling or make noise along the river, it must be a big disturbance to Wang Zhengdong's military aircraft. Now we need to dedicate the boat of the previous provocation to anchor in our harbor to dispel the anger of the division and brigade, and it can also warn the Jiangling boat division to be no longer a scandal! ”

"But now the army is still on the march, and the long-term thief army needs to ......"

When Wang Seng heard that Li Tai did not hold people accountable, but wanted to take the boats and boats controlled by Wang Lin's subordinates, he suddenly felt a big head for a while, and he was busy and wanted to plead.

However, Li Tai did not respond to Wang Seng's words, but only ordered his soldiers to hand over a copy of the style and number of boats when Wang Lin disturbed the water camp here, and made it clear that he would never change his conditions. If Wang Seng argues that he does not agree to this condition, then there is no need to continue talking.

Wang Sengbi looked at the name of the boat, and scolded Wang Lin in his heart. Now that Hou Jing's defeat and escape is a major turning point since the rise of the rebellion, the top priority at the moment is to concentrate all efforts to pursue the victory, and not give the rebel army a chance to breathe.

As a result, this Wang Lin rashly provoked Li Tai because of his momentary anger, even if the Western Wei did not have a considerable strength of the boat division, but with its strong land combat ability, it could not only directly threaten the security of Jiangling, but also had enough ability to disrupt their subsequent military operations.

Li Tai looked at the silent Wang Seng arguing, but he was happy in his heart, and the anger that had been aroused by Wang Lin's provocation before gradually receded. He didn't care if Wang Lin was dead or not, but the reason why he dared to do this also made Li Tai vigilant.

Although there were nearly 20,000 people in the Jingzhou Governor's Office and Xiangyang's naval army, both the number and size of the boats and the experience of the soldiers in water warfare were far inferior to those of the Jiangling Naval Division, and even the craftsmen who built and maintained the boats were extremely scarce.

Originally, Xiangyang had the supporting personnel related to the water war and the formation of the sailor force, but because Xiao Jing, the king of Liang, had a bad relationship with the Jingzhao Du clan and exterminated his clan, and Liu Zhongli carried out a purge after attacking Xiangyang. The strength of the Xiangyang sailors was seriously infiltrated by these clans, and the king of Liang ignored the consolidation of the personnel in the army while striking at these people on the table, so that a large number of the backbone of the Xiangyang sailors were lost to Jiangling.

Wang Lin's provocation certainly made Li Tai angry, but after the anger, he also understood that the reason why Wang Lin dared to do this was because the water war was the weakness of their Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

If this fundamental problem is not reversed, then even if we take over Xiakou and other Jindu, similar situations will not be eliminated in the future, and they will definitely happen from time to time, and the result will only be to change places and be blocked and humiliated.

And the reason why the king of Xiangdong agreed to Li Tai's previous request is probably because even if Li Tai gets these Jindu ports, he does not have enough naval forces to block the Yangtze River waterway.

Such a situation is obviously not Li Tai's original intention to force the king of Xiangdong to cede these Jindu, and it is impossible to cover up the shortcomings of his naval force by threatening Gangneung by land in the future, so strengthening himself is the fundamental plan.

Not to mention the current interaction and competition with Jiangling, the naval army will inevitably develop in the future, in the longer military action to pacify Jiangnan.

The boat team led by Wang Lin to provoke before should be a complete combat formation with a large ship as the core. So Li Tai made such a condition, as for Wang Lin, how do you like to deal with it.

Wang Shengbi was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Li Tai and said seriously: "I can be the master to give these boats to General Li as an apology, but please ask General Li to agree to a request from Seng Bian, that is, these boats are not allowed to travel into the river!" If not, the monk will only accept the punishment to make up for the harmony between the two states. ”

Hearing Wang Sengbi say this, Li Tai laughed again. Other types of these ships are not available for the time being, but the big ships in them are much larger than those owned by Xiangyang, and it can be seen that there must be some secret technology of the navy in them. Wang Seng argued that giving this to outsiders was tantamount to leaking military aircraft.

In general, such a request would not have been granted. But now is not only a good time for Southern Liang to quell the rebellion, but also a good time for Wang Shengbian's personal achievements to climb to new heights.

Today's Wang Shengbi is different from the time when he was driven to the north by the king of Xiangdong to bear the guilt of Jing pleading, with the military progress of the rebellion and rebellion, his personal prestige and power are also increasing day by day, and now whether it is qualifications, prestige or personal ability, he is the first person in the Jiangling Military Government. Once the east goes to the chaos and succeeds, he is the first person in the entire Southern Liang military merit, and no one will give up such a beautiful vision.

The so-called prohibition of boats and boats entering the river is just an expression of attitude, which means that if you really want to use troops against Jiangling in the future, I must also draw a clear line with you and lead the army to kill you. But until then, there is still room for cooperation and compromise between us.

I wish the motherland a happy birthday and a happy National Day!!
