Seeing the flames in Lucheng, Liu Xikun knew that his plan had succeeded.

Just thinking that it would be better to confirm again, he personally came to greet the 'hero'.

Unexpectedly, this biggest hero actually died, and there were dozens of natives inexplicably.

Liao Neng introduced the situation to him very doggyly, and then Liu Xikun just glanced at Fang Linsun's corpse lightly, and summoned Liu Jianming over for questioning.

"You are Fang Linsun's subordinate? How have things been done, have they all been burned? Let's talk about today's events in detail! ”

"Burned, absolutely burned, all the grain was poured with oil, there was no reason to survive, and we burned an armory......"

Liu Jianming unhurriedly described the process of action in detail.

After listening, Liu Xikun was very satisfied, "Very good, there is no food, see how many days the city can last!" Liu... Liu Jianming, right, you have made such a great achievement, I will definitely reward you heavily! ”

Liu Jianming shook his hand solemnly, "I don't dare to take credit in the next place, everything is done by Master Fang, and it is only because Master Fang treated each other well in the past, and he helped out of righteousness, so there is no need for rewards, I just hope that Liulangjun can treat his family well for the sake of serving Master Fang." ”

This remark made Liu Xikun very annoyed and angry, so angry that he wanted to kill this ignorant man on the spot, and then he was shocked.

Ah! I have just prepared to achieve a great cause, and it is when I continue to win people's hearts, how can I feel that I am mean and unkind!?

I'm afraid that the surname Liu is deliberately waking himself up, but fortunately, he has a super mind and woke up in time!

Well, although Liu is just a small official, he seems to have some insight and courage, but he is also a talent, and he should be taken back for his own use.

As soon as his mind turned like this, Liu Xikun walked to Fang Linsun's corpse with a sad face, and bowed respectfully.

I really couldn't squeeze out tears, so I had to beat my chest, "The death of Master Fang is extremely heart-wrenching, his exploits will be remembered forever, and he will definitely bury him well, and he will definitely treat his family well, so that he can have no worries about food and clothing......"

After performing such a play seriously, Liu Xikun walked back to Liu Jianming, posed as a corporal of Lixian, took the initiative to bow his hands, and said sincerely, "Liu is not a cold person, he only cares about his heart and is negligent, fortunately, Mr. Lai can make up for the loss, if Mr. does not give up, stay willing to treat each other as a teacher and friend, and invite Mr. to create a great cause!" ”

Liu Jianming pretended to hesitate, and seemed to think about it for a long time before sighing, "Liulangjun is so virtuous and generous, and he looks down on him so much, and he dies as a confidant when he is a soldier below, and he serves Langjun wholeheartedly." ”

"Haha, good, good, stay today to get a talent, it's really like a tiger with wings......" Liu Xikun was another coy gesture.

Then Liu Xikun invited Ma Huo to besiege Lucheng together, Ma Huo immediately agreed, but said that he would go back to the tribe to gather the clansmen first, and Liu Xikun also knew the situation of the Pabula tribe, so he expressed his understanding, in fact, he didn't really expect the Pabra tribe to play any role now.

Afterwards, Ma Huo left with dozens of clansmen, and no one found five or six Song people dressed as natives mixed in the night, as well as Wan Sheng.

After returning to his own tribe, Ma Huo didn't do anything about it, and honestly cooperated with the Song people to transform the ship.

The boat of the Pabra tribe is first made of a whole piece of wood as the bottom of the boat, and then the hull is assembled with many planks, and the planks are connected with mulberry wood nails, filled with kapok and pulp to prevent leakage, there are no partitions in the boat, and six to eight people can be carried and moved by oars.

I picked the largest one, spent a day adding a tail rudder, and installed a mast that was only more than one zhang high to hang the sails, and it became a pulp sail dual-purpose ship.

On the morning of the fifth day of the ninth month, three Pabra and three Song people, plus Wan Sheng, who was in charge of communication, a total of seven people went out to sea by boat, first to the north to avoid the Haikou, and then to the west, if you are lucky, you can reach Quanzhou in four or five days, and if you are unlucky, you may reach the Dragon Palace at any time.

At the same time, a large fleet arrived off the coast of Fuzhou, ready to dock to replenish some fresh water and continue south, while Zhao Mengqi also set off from Quanzhou with a fleet and came to Liuqiu.

At noon on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Mengqi's fleet arrived at the sea area about 100 miles away from Lugang, because he knew that there was still a sea pirate in the sea area of Liuqiu Island, so there were lookouts to check the sea situation at all times.

Suddenly, the lookout on the Shenzhou noticed that there was an abnormality in the sea to the east, and immediately took a closer look with a telescope, and found that it was a very strange-looking small boat, and there were seven people on board, all of whom were natives from the way they were dressed.

After the news was reported to Zhao Mengqi, he immediately ordered the clipper to go to see the situation.

The size of the clipper is small, only about 500 materials, equipped with oars, more flexible and maneuverable, and it is the main combat ship in the coastal navy, but now it is used by Zhao Meng for reconnaissance and communication.

Immediately after his order was given, two clippers opened their portholes, poked out their oars, and sped away in the designated direction like centipedes on water.

About half an hour later, the clipper returned to the fleet that had all dropped its sails, and one of them was close to the Shenzhou, and through the rope ladder, seven people and a wax-sealed bamboo tube were sent to the Shenzhou.

Zhao Mengqi opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter asking for help inside to take a closer look.

The letter does not contain much content, but briefly describes the situation of Liuqiu, requests for emergency rescue from the imperial court, and is also stamped with the official seal of Liuqiu Prefecture, the Great Seal of the Left Wing Army, and the private seals of Lin Yingjia, Zeng Ba, and Fu Yixin, which is enough to prove its authenticity.

After reading it, Zhao Mengqi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, everything is still in time." ”

Seeing him speak, Wan Sheng, who had been looking at him all the time, couldn't help but say excitedly, "Are you His Royal Highness King Yan?" Aren't you supposed to be in Lin'an City, thousands of miles away? No matter, anyway, the lord has been saved, Lucheng has been saved, and my people have been saved......"

Geng Zhi was about to scold Wan Sheng for his rudeness, but Zhao Mengqi waved his hand to stop it, and then looked at the young native curiously, "What's your name?" It's very good to speak Chinese, it's only been a long time, it's really rare. ”

"Wan Sheng! My name is Wan Sheng, I was given by the Lord, and my Chinese was also learned in the military, and the Lord was right, His Royal Highness is the most powerful and amazing person in the world, so far away he can know that we are in danger, and he came to save us in person......"

Before, when the two clippers appeared in front of their small boat, everyone panicked and despaired, thinking that they had been stopped by the pirates, after all, they had not left the island of Liuqiu not far away.

Fortunately, one of the three Song people on the ship was an officer, that is, a real messenger, and he saw the flag hanging on the incoming ship, so he did not let everyone act rashly.

However, the other six people were still dreaming as if they were dreaming until they got on Shenzhou, and it was normal for Wan Sheng to be so excited.

Perhaps fearing that Wan Sheng's rudeness would offend King Yan, the officer added, "Your Highness, Wan Sheng was the first tribe we met after we went to the island. ”

Zhao Mengqi smiled, "This old Zeng, who is almost thirty years old, doesn't know how to get married and have a baby early, but now he recognizes his godson, is it possible that he likes to pick up ready-made?" ”

After a joke, he looked at the officer again and recalled for a while, "You are... Luo Qian? ”

The officer was full of surprise, "Your Highness, do you remember the last general?" ”

"Haha, you can be regarded as being released from me, how can you not remember, when you get to the island, I invite everyone to drink and catch up with the old days...... Now let's talk about the current details. ”

After Zhao Mengqi finished speaking, he asked people to take a sketch map of Liuqiu Island, which was drawn by Uncle Xie Fang based on the previous many explorations and the information obtained by the pioneer group after landing on the island.

Luo Qian first added some information to the map that he had obtained later, and then recounted what had happened in the past month.

When I was in Quanzhou, according to the confessions of the captives, I already had some understanding of the situation on the island of Liuqiu, but now it is much clearer.

Zhao Mengqi went through the summarized information in his mind and muttered, "So, the Turen tribe should have gathered at least twenty or thirty thousand people near Luding County?" Well... That seems like a good thing......"

After sketching on the map for a while, he made a decision, "Luo Qian, I need you to return to Lucheng as soon as possible......"

Soon after, Luo Qian and Wan Sheng changed to a fast boat, and returned to the Pabra tribe first with the task given by Zhao Mengqi.

Another clipper, also carrying Zhao Mengqi's handwritten warrant, turned back to Quanzhou, and the fleet re-raised its sails and turned north.

At this time, outside Lucheng, there were sea ships roaming on the sea in the west, tribal troops in the woods in the southeast and north directions, and a camp was built five miles away from the city in the east.

A few powerful sons led their own escorts out of the camp and swaggered close to fifty zhang to persuade them to surrender.

One persuasion a day, this is the third time, the first two times just sent a few small minions, and also cautiously, but the city just ignored it, and did not shoot.

Today, thinking that the city should have been hungry for three or four days, eighty percent couldn't hold on, so Su Jiachang, Wu Qiqiao, and Cai Qicang moved to grab the merit.

And even if the persuasion is unsuccessful, there is no danger, especially this kind of deeds of coercing a city, which is enough to blow for a lifetime, so the three of them took the initiative to ask for help from Liu Xikun.

For this highlight moment of their lives, the three of them also deliberately took care of their appearance, and they looked very graceful with powdered hairpins.

After walking to the city, the three of them pretended to humble each other, and finally Su Jiachang, who won the guess, won the qualification to shout and persuade him to surrender.

Suja took three steps forward, looked at the city with his head held high, cleared his throat, and shouted with all his strength.

"Listen to the people in the city, you have been besieged and killed by my army, and the food is exhausted, why bother to fight the trapped beasts again, those who know the times are Junjie, and quickly recognize the reality, and there is a way ......to live."

"Fuck off."

The head of the city roared and shot out a dozen feathered arrows, which hit Su Jia Chang.

Suja was stunned, and only opened his mouth to watch one of the feathered arrows fall on his head.

Immediately, he felt a chill on the top of his head, and the feather arrow tore off the scarf to reveal a large bald spot, and finally stuck it in the lap of a guard not far behind Su Jia.

Seeing that the other feathered arrows were scattered and far away from him, Su Jia Changzheng was glad that his life was great, but he immediately saw a dense number of crossbow arrows flying from the city.

Wu Qiqiao, Cai Qicang and others, including the Su family guards, all ran away, leaving Su Jiachang alone and standing there stupidly.

The crossbow bolts fell like a torrential rain, and no matter what you really looked like, you were shot into a big hedgehog.

The others ran fast, and a dozen of them were hit by the crossbow arrows, but the distance reduced the power of the crossbow arrows, and they probably didn't lose their lives.

After a while, a second round of crossbow bolts was fired at the head of the city, but it was neither neat nor much less.

Liu Xikun in the camp looked at this scene and jumped to his feet with anger, "Why! Why do they have the strength to shoot arrows after being hungry for three or four days!? Do they still have food!! ”

Liu Jianming next to him hurriedly persuaded, "Lang Jun, don't be angry, although the granary has been burned, there are always other scattered grains, plus the natives who were moved into the city also brought some grain, and there are also big animals such as cattle, donkeys and horses, so it's normal to last a few more days." ”

Liu Xikun was stunned for a moment, "Mr. is reasonable, but I think it's bad, no wonder Mr. said before to be cautious, hey, it's also Su Jiachang who didn't listen to persuasion, but he lost Qingqing's life, but if it goes on like this, how long will it take?" ”

"Actually, Lang Jun doesn't have to worry too much, there are more than 12,000 and nearly 3,000 people in the city, just with that bit of food, no matter how much he saves, he can't carry it for long, and the person who roared at the head of the city just now should be Zeng Ba, his voice is obviously a little lacking in energy, and with his previous level, how can the arrow shot be inaccurate and weak? This means that he is starting to run out of food. The other sergeants should also have little strength, so the bows and arrows were scarce, and the crossbows and arrows took so long to reload......"

Liu Jianming talked eloquently about the analysis, and Liu Xikun nodded again and again when he heard it, "Mr. is really talented, and he can deduce the hidden truth with just a little detail... Hehe, in that case, they were actually bluffing just now, trying to frighten us and cheer up the rest of the city. ”33

"However, the more they are like this, the more they can't hold their breath, so why don't we wait a few more days." Liu Jianming looks like a dog-headed military advisor.

Liu Xikun laughed, "According to what Mr. said, let's wait a few more days!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
