Chapter 741: The Missing Tan Daoji

Xiangyang Water Army, formerly known as Yue Fei brought a Yangzhou Navy as the foundation, and then continued to expand, under the command of more than 1,000 large and small warships, and "Cao" ship sailors 15,000 people, 20,000 soldiers, and the most elite of them is the new blood midge beast water cavalry.

The blood midge beast was originally a bloodthirsty blood beast that Li Tang put in Xiangyang Crescent Bay, when pacifying the "chaos" in Xiangyang, the main force of the Poyang Sea Army of the Emperor State attacked Xiangyang from the waterway, alarming the blood midge sword beast hiding underwater, a whole fleet, more than 30,000 soldiers, and finally the whole army was annihilated, except for some broken wooden boards, not even a single corpse was found.

Yue Fei rode the four-winged Dapeng beast at that time and witnessed some tails, he was afraid of this kind of underwater beast, after Leng Zhuo captured Xiangyang City, the blood midge beast group in this Xiangyang water bay could not let go, and then Leng Zhuo led his generals to spend a lot of effort, and also got a few blood midge beasts ashore.

After devouring a large amount of flesh and blood, the blood midge beast grows very fast, and the largest one has even grown to two feet, the whole body is covered with scale armor, and the knife and gun are difficult to penetrate, and in front of the mouth, there is a bone sword, a bit like a swordfish, the back of the blood midge sword beast is not a flat and smooth ridge, but flattened, and with the evolution, the position of the fins also grows bones, which seem to form limbs.

After some tossing, it was finally determined that the use of the mount contract array could tame these young beasts of the blood midge sword beast, so the large-scale taming of the blood midge sword beast became the most important agenda of the Xiangyang water camp, of course, it was easier to tame, but it was difficult to find a candidate.

More than half a year has passed, and the blood midge sword beast in Crescent Bay has almost been caught, and the blood midge beast water cavalry has finally made up a scale, with five hundred Xiangyang water army, five hundred Poyang sea army, and more than 1,000 statistics, and the blood midge beast water cavalry has also been kept secret, and the training is all on several islands in the Poyang Sea.

With the melodious sound of the trumpets in the navy, the warships anchored in Crescent Bay pulled anchor and set sail, and the ships cruising on the nearby water also turned their bows and set off towards the confluence of rivers and lakes.

The two water armies, no matter how elite the Xiangyang Water Army is, after all, the Xiangyang Water Army has an old foundation, and the Poyang Water Army is inferior to a lot, the five battalions of sailors that were originally made up have gone through the Yuxi Water Battle and the Shrimp Island Water Battle, but they were hit hard by the demonic beasts of the Holy Sect and the Holy Water Banner one after another, and the five battalions of sailors who were already dissatisfied with the formation suffered heavy losses.

And after the loss of the shrimp island water village, as well as the fall of Chuxi, some shipyards located in the south of Poyang Sea are all unusable, even the Xiangshui has been blocked, and the shipbuilding trees flowing down from the upstream have also been cut off, and the shipbuilding speed has suddenly slowed down, although after more than two months of cultivation, the Poyang Water Army currently has only three battalions that are not satisfied, but compared with before, the only thing that has grown is that there are many more sailors who have seen blood.

Poyang Haikou, the east and west peninsulas are like crab pincers, clamping the exit into and out of Poyang Sea, and this entrance and exit is not more than ten miles long, the narrowest point is only fourteen or fifteen miles wide, from the upper floor of the world, with a telescope can see the defensive camp on the other side of the sea.

If you want to enter the Poyang Sea, you must break through to the Haizikou, the big camp at the east and west ends, there are a large number of catapults, after some repair and expansion, it is now a camp that can be stationed with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, although the catapults can not completely cover the Haizikou, but with the warship blockade, you need to pay enough price if you want to rush into the Poyang Sea.

The Xiangyang Flood Camp and the Poyang Reservoir Camp soon formed a huge pocket array in the estuary, and the ships that wanted to enter would face the warships on the inner three floors and the outer three tiers.

This side is in full swing, and the speed of the fleet down the Tianhe River is not slow at all, if there was only a large shadow of sails before, then this will be seen even by the people on the boat.

"Hey, that's not right! The fleet on the other side seems to be flying a white flag? And sent a fast boat? And it also hung the flag of the blood moon?

Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Yes, yes, but it is also in Yangzhou, and this fleet is floating down from the upstream!" "The upper reaches of Chuzhou are Shuzhou and Yongzhou, both of which are places that the young lord forces cannot reach, although some caravans are also arranged to operate in the two places, but they are only collecting some news, and more are purchasing goods.

"Then we can only wait!" Lu Xun thought for a while and said, but with this time, it made their preparations in Haikou more sufficient, with the two or three hundred boats on the opposite side, it was difficult to force the Poyang Sea.

Time passed bit by bit, pedaling, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and a whirring guard quickly went up to the top floor, facing Yue Fei and Lu Xun: "Two, my lord, I have figured it out, I have figured it out, that fleet is Tan Daoji, General Tan's fleet!"

"What?" Lu Xun and Yue Fei were taken aback when they heard this, even if they wanted to break their heads, they couldn't imagine that the fleet would be led by Tan Daoji, but the two of them knew that when Tan Daoji swept through Chuxi, the Holy Sect had broken off all ties, and the soldiers and horses of a brigade were missing, and there was no contact so far.

Although the two of them were a little surprised, they quickly calmed down and said: "It shouldn't be wrong to think about it, immediately send an order, let the opposite fleet enter the Poyang Sea, and escort it to Shuiwan Wharf!" Let's go, let's go and greet it, this old tan, once he disappeared, it will be half a year, I'm afraid there are a lot of stories here!"

Tianxia downstairs, on the ninth floor, Lu Xun and Yue Fei personally picked up Tan Daoji on the dock and put a table of all-fish feasts, and then asked in detail: "General Tan, quickly tell me how you went to Shuzhou, and what happened in Shuzhou!"

Tan Daoji picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then sighed and said: "The Holy Sect is 'chaotic', and my brigade has also been affected, originally the young master reminded me before, and I am also very cautious, but who would have thought that in the group of people recruited in Xiangyang, there were people from the Holy Sect, and they were hidden deep enough, plus my station was next to the Holy Sect's lair, and it was a lot of chaos that night!"

"In the end, I finally led less than 800 people out of the camp, I didn't dare to go east, I could only go through the mountains and forests, and then although I got rid of the Holy Sect chasing soldiers, we also 'lost' the road in the mountains, 100,000 mountains in Chuxi, endless, trees and sky, I took the remnants of the army for two months before I finally got out!"

"But I didn't think about it, out of the mountain, I asked but to the territory of Shuzhou, although Shuzhou is quite peaceful, but it is also an undercurrent, you also know that Shuzhou is located in the southwest of the emperor's country, far away from the emperor's capital, and there are many Tusi leaders in Shuzhou, all of whom are inhabited by the barbarian tribe attached to the emperor's country!"

"These Tusi Divisions, compared to the nobles of the Emperor Country, are much more powerful, except for paying part of the tax, they are almost the soil emperors of one land, and the Tusi are not very harmonious with each other, and wars are common!"

"By the way, I was on the ship before, and I seem to have seen a lot of barbarian warriors and women on your ship?" Lu Xun asked uncertainly, although he guessed something.

Tan Daoji poured the wine into his stomach in one gulp, and then he said with a wry smile: "I can't help it, I turned out of the mountains, and there were only more than 300 of the eight hundred brothers left, and before I had time to be happy, I was surrounded by the soldiers and horses of the local Tusi that night!"

"And then?"

"Then, I was imprisoned in a prison, and I was released after half a month, although these toasts are the emperor of the earth, after all, they are still attached to the emperor's country, and later, this is not just in time for any festival of the Tusi department, I was inexplicably pushed up, and challenged the brave warriors under the command of the toast, it happened that my stomach was on fire, so I was serious, and I overturned the other party's eighteen brave warriors one after another!"

"And then?"

"Then, I was taken by the daughter of the toast and wanted me to be her man!"

"You promised!"

"I don't want to agree, but the old toast directly used the knife, if he doesn't marry his daughter, more than 300 of us will lose their heads, do I have a choice!"

"Oh, no wonder, but it seems that you, the cheap toast father, have a good family background, and he can actually make up more than 200 boats of dowry for you!"

"Fuck off, this is not a dowry, but some goods, I told the young master about the situation here, and my lady wants to come out to have a look, otherwise it will be really difficult for me to leave!" Tan Daoji sighed.

"With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to leave, right?"

"Heh, it's really a bit difficult, you should also know the many cultivation and refining schools in the Emperor Country, the four royal gates of the east, west, south and north, the south imperial gate is built in several Tusi territories, and this old Tusi is one of the five elders of the South Imperial Gate, and there are even three Heavenly Spirit Beast Masters under his command, as well as three hundred brave martial beast guards, all of them are the strength of the Earth Spirit at or above the high level, I am not afraid to fight alone, but this group of guys is directly swarming, who can stand it!"

"Haha, but that's not bad, you became the son-in-law of Tusi, and your future is also very bright, by the way, are you going to go back to the Valley of Crying Blood this time?"

"Well, but I really don't know what the current situation in Chuzhou is, on the way here, I just heard some hearsay?

Lu Xun and Yue Fei glanced at each other, and said: "It's really not too good, but it's also an opportunity, the young master in the south will look at it, but this Xiangyang City, this will be tense, if you don't do it, you will fight first!"

"Is it that serious?"

"En!" said one after another, and told the situation in Xiangyang again, they couldn't 'intervene' in the affairs of the Vermilion Bird Mansion, but Xiangyang was pacified by the young master, and the geographical location was very important, but they had to ensure the safety of Xiangyang, once the young master entered the Vermilion Bird City, Xiangyang's status would become very important.

Tan Daoji shook his head after hearing this, and said: "These people are really, fighting in the nest one by one, but I estimate that there is also Li Tang mixed in here, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, Xiangyang is in trouble, Li Tang on the other side of the river is good at muddy water 'touching' fish, fishermen profit, do you have any plans!"

"We only have less than 40,000 people in our hands, and the recruits account for more than seventy percent, and we want to solve the problem at once, but our strength is insufficient, so we can only wait, after all, the two sides are deadlocked, as long as there is still a little sense, we can only rely on us in the end, of course, the worst result is a fight in the city, and we clean up the mess!
