Chapter 255: Vitality in the West, Death in the Country

Zhou Bai stood on the bow of the ship, and when he saw the white flag raised by the flagship of Dingguo, he was also stunned, so decisive?

Because under the careful defense of the flagship itself, most of the swingers on their own side have not yet boarded the ship, and the few who have boarded the ship are still in the stage of gaining a firm foothold and receiving their companions.

But in any case, the surrender of the flagship is always a good thing, and there will be no more waves in the subsequent war.

"Congratulations, if the flagship is won, the overall situation has been decided."

"This should be the decision of Admiral Liu Renliang, the commander of the navy, and only his old man has this kind of courage."

"If it is late, there will be changes, please send someone to take over the flagship of Dingguo as soon as possible, and then persuade the rest of the warships to surrender." Captain Li Bao first congratulated excitedly, and then admonished.

Zhou Bai bowed slightly: "Gao Hu led people to board the ship first, control the situation, remember to maintain respect for Admiral Liu, and don't make any impulsive moves." ”

Even though they are in the middle of the river gorge, the main battle site is still vast on the river, and most of the soldiers on the Dingguo warship can see the white flag fluttering on their flagship.

"Surrender and don't kill, and those who raise the white flag won't die."

The slogan shouted by the Anbei Army before was still lingering in my ears, since the Admiral said to surrender, then vote......

Immediately after the flagship, one after another the Dingguo warships raised the white flag, and many people have witnessed the scene of the bloody seizure of the ship by the Warriors of the Demon Army.

By the end of the evening, after focusing on the siege and killing of a group of die-hard diehards, Ranjiaoxia finally calmed down.

Only more than 30 warships broke out of the encirclement, left the battlefield in time, and fled to the waters of Dingzhou County without looking back.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lei Haomiao's control over the sailors has not only been limited to high-level officers, but also grassroots officers, and the captains of many ships have been installed by him, all of whom are young people surnamed Lei.

The warships that desperately want to escape must be controlled by the Lei family.

The battle of Chaojiaoxia ended with the complete victory of the Anbei Naval Division, which also opened the final prelude to the fall of Dingguo.

The fishing fires are lit and the lights are brilliant.

Even though there is no full moon, the long dragon of fishing and fire composed of hundreds of warships still illuminates both sides of the Ranjiao Gorge.

At the end of the war, the various cries of the spirit monkey mandrill, the dragon snake python sounded as usual.

In the spacious room of Zhou Bai, the flagship of the Anbei Water Division, several people are silently drinking tea.

"After preliminary reorganization, the current fleet has a total of 322 warships in good condition, including five medium-sized dragon boats, 10 small dragon boats, 107 fighting ships, and 200 small warships such as boats and ships."

"In terms of personnel, there are more than 13,500 new sailors and more than 20,000 foot soldiers."

"We killed 3,000 ......"

Hearing that Li Bao was about to report the battle losses of both sides, Zhou Bai frowned, raised his hand to stop him from continuing to speak.

Without him, just because the rest of the people in the room are high-level new precipitation divisions such as Liu Renliang.

"I've heard the name of Admiral Liu for a long time, and when I see it today, it's really worthy of the name." Zhou Bai looked at Liu Renliang, who was sitting at the bottom of the tea and was silent, and broke the deadlock in the conversation first.

Liu Renliang is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, his sideburns are gray, and today he has just experienced an unprecedented fiasco, of course, he is a little depressed and low in energy at this time.

But when he sits there, he has a demeanor of his own, so that people will unconsciously look twice.

"It is glorious for a soldier to shroud in horse leather, and this is the same in the sailor, so there is no need for Bojun to shy away from anything."

"You invited me to come, there must have been arrangements, please speak up." Liu Renliang replied in an orderly manner.

His back was still straight, and when he saw Zhou Bai start talking, a little decadence on his body was swept away, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

This kind of performance can be regarded as making Zhou Bai's heart settle down a little, which means that he Liu Renliang still wants to serve in the water division.

"From now on, how about setting up the Ningjiang Fleet of the Anbei Naval Division, with Li Bao as the commander, and the old general as the deputy commander of the Anbei Naval Division?"

Zhou Bai just finished speaking, Liu Renliang had not responded, but Li Bao was red-faced and anxious.

Admiral of the Navy, the highest military position in the Navy, is the commander-in-chief of a fleet, and is a real high authority.

In terms of the size of the Dingzhou Naval Division, the Admiral was the fourth rank in Daxu, and Liu Renliang had considerable independence when Lei Haomiao was the governor.

Li Baozhi knelt on the ground in a daze, and said in panic: "I beg the king to take back my life, I am not talented enough to be lowly, and I am really unworthy of the heavy responsibility of the commander." ”

Liu Renliang left his seat at the right time, took two steps, bowed down and said: "Bojun Rongyu, Li Bao, I understand that during the Xiangxing period, he had made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion and replacing the water bandits, and his talent was enough to take on a great responsibility. ”

Li Bao first glanced at Liu Renliang gratefully, then hammered his hand his chest, expressed his sincerity, and bowed: "Your Majesty, if an unknown person like me is on the throne, how can the sailor brothers obey me." ”

"The damage to the minister's reputation is small, but it can delay the major affairs of the country and live up to the trust of the king, but it is a matter of death, please check it out!"

Zhou Bai nodded secretly in his heart, in fact, he had long known that with Liu Renliang's qualifications and ability, he must be reused this time.

The deliberate appointment of two people is just a test to see their character and whether they can recognize their own position.

"The two generals don't need to postpone any longer, I will, set up the first and second fleets."

"The Admiral of the First Fleet is served by General Liu, who uses regular tactics as usual, relying on large ships and giant crossbows...... The Admiral of the Second Fleet was served by Li Bao, focusing on jumping battles, relying on the soldiers to take over the ship......"

In peacetime, the first fleet is temporarily stationed on the main road of the Ningjiang River to patrol, and the second fleet is to patrol the inland rivers of the tributaries of the Ningjiang River."

After Zhou Bai's appointment and explanation, it fully reflects his good intentions and long-term layout, and where will the two refuse again.

"Admiral Liu Renliang of the First Fleet, meet your ......"

"The attack on the ports along the river in Dingguo, as well as the blow to the small actions of the Dingxi Naval Division, please ask Admiral Liu to bother more."

The next day, the Anbei Naval Division, which hung the fish and dragon flag and was fully reorganized, headed towards the south of the Ningjiang River.

……

Zhou Bai appeared in Ningjiang, and personally led the grassroots fleet to achieve a great victory in Chaojiaoxia, and the news soon spread to the other two countries.

It's not that Lu Ding and Lei Haomiao don't want to hide it, but as soon as the war ended, the news of the great victory had spread throughout Anbei's country and the front line.

The Xuanyiwei spies lurking in the two countries have recruited a lot of supernumeraries of the three sects and nine ranks, and they are first-class in spreading "rumors".

Moreover, this is not a false rumor, and in the face of the gentry and nobles' questioning, the government has no confidence to refute it.

In Dingxi, the camp outside the gate of the border city and county, Lu Dingzheng held a meeting for the victory of the chaotic Jiaoxia.

Because they have been blocked in a closed city for a long time, many civil and military ministers have been distraught, and in the face of sudden bad news, they are not thinking about solving the problem, but complaining, throwing the blame, and quarrelling.

"The Dingguo Water Division completely inherits the main body of the Dingzhou Water Division, and its strength is strong, it is really a waste to be able to lose like this!"

"Who would have known that the Dragon King of Ningjiang would go to heaven again to report on his work, and the group of evil animals in Jiaoxia would not know what to do."

"What is Lei Haomiao doing to eat, Liu Renliang has served as the admiral of the Navy for ten years, and he has not been replaced until the founding of the country."

"At the beginning, I said that I should borrow the ship of the Dingguo Naval Division, why gnaw hard bones here......"

Suddenly, there was the sound of a sword drawn from inside the tent.

Everyone looked up, and it turned out to be Lu Ding, who was dressed in military uniform, and pulled out his sword and cut off the corner of the table.

"Wait for a capital offense!"

Seeing the courtiers fall to their knees, they were sincerely afraid, and the anger in Lu Ding's heart finally leaked out a little.

"Since you can't discuss anything, listen."

"It was ordered that the sailors should try to avoid frontal engagement, but they should not be allowed to capture their important ports."

"The follow-up replenishment of troops and equipment has been put in place, and the general attack on Menjuguan will be made on the same day, a new road will be opened, and the troops will be divided and ...... at the same time."

When the generals were ordered to leave, leaving only a few henchmen, Lu Ding's previous tenacious and heroic appearance finally showed a little fatigue and worry.

Zhou Bai's progress was too fast, which made him a little breathless, everyone understood that Dingdong was unified, and then Dingxi was followed.

Once upon a time, the two were called Dingzhou Shuangjiao, each accumulating strength in the corner, and then conquering the city and opening the mansion to establish their own power.

In fact, it was fine until Zhou Bai captured the border city county, but since the border city county, which was regarded as a burden, became a nail nailed to the rear, Lu Ding was a little uneasy.

Later, after the establishment of the country one after another, after the comparison of national strength, Lu Ding acquiesced to Zhou Bai temporarily pressing him, but he never thought that he would fail.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, the clan elders, worshippers, and even ancestors dreamed of telling Lu Ding that he was the hidden dragon of Dingzhou's destiny.

Accumulation is gaining momentum, and a smooth life...... Well, except for the cypress on last week.

To this day, Lu Ding really smelled the smell of failure, and all the arrangements and pioneers were suppressed by Zhou Bai in advance.

That strange ichthyosaurus, one day, will swallow the so-called Dingzhou Mandate of Heaven.

"Xie Shi, can you have life?" Lu Ding sat down on the expensive soft chair moved from home, shrunk behind the sand table of the map, and asked thoughtlessly.

The person who is called Xie Shi is a dragon warlock like Bu Yuanzi, named Xie Long.

Lu Ding fell into the water when he was young, and he happened to be aware of the hidden dragon's aura, so he decided to help the dragon.

He was dressed in a gray robe, which looked very low-key, but looking at the respectful appearance of the other henchmen, he obviously couldn't be low-key.

In the face of the predicament, Xie Long couldn't be as relaxed as before, sweating like rain, and his hands in his long sleeves were a little trembling.

This is not because of Lu Ding's coercion, but because he took advantage of the main inquiry, captured a trace of luck, and made every effort to deduce the calculation.

If the people in the tent look carefully, they will find that the hair on the back of his head has a few more wisps of white.

Xie Long took a deep breath and replied: "Back to the king, the vitality is in the south and the north. ”

"Solve the master, come quickly." When Lu Ding heard this, his body suddenly sat up straighter.

Xie Long has been in contact with Lu Ding since he was a child, and he is trusted by the dragon qi and has little suppression.

I saw that he casually popped out a mirror screen, in which there was a scene where the capital of the Southern Jin Kingdom was breached, and the King of Jin burned himself to death...... Finally, there is Yin Mountain.

The black transport on the mountain gathers, connecting the sky, the cattle and sheep under the mountain are herds, 100,000 iron horses gallop back and forth, and countless grassland herdsmen cheer for it.

This is the only co-lord of the Jin country, the enthronement ceremony of the king of Jin Hu Yanhe, whose posture of sweeping the grassland made all the tribes rush to surrender and pay tribute.

"I see that the Jin country in the north is prosperous and the vitality is in the north, so I will capture the border cities as soon as possible, open up the grassland roads, and form an alliance with the Jin country." Xie Long pointed to the strong cavalry group of the Jin Kingdom and said solemnly.

The military momentum of the grassland cavalry made Lu Ding nod involuntarily, but when the mirror curtain was broken, he calmed down again and motioned for Xie Long to continue.

Will the border city definitely be able to defeat it this time?

Many generals who experienced the collapse of the former army last time did not have confidence, in fact, as a monarch, he did not have much confidence, even after full preparation, the chances of victory in the military push were two percent higher.

"The vitality is in the south, and it is Daizhou."

Xie Long said halfway, took two steps back, and continued after making an accusation: "If you can't capture the border city and gain the trust of King Jin, it is only a matter of time before the three counties of Dingxi are lost. ”

"Daizhou is weak, no strong man was born, and the king is eloquent and strategic, and Dingxi's military strength is at its peak. Give up the Dingding of the state and the orthodox royal road, or get a glimmer of life in the state......"

Xie Long's words were really a little too advanced, and there was no loss in the territory of the three counties, so he planned to abandon the state and leave.

At that time, even if you open up a foundation in Daizhou, will it really last long?

It's just to drink to quench your thirst and avoid it for a while, which is in line with the concept of not casting the state tripod and not being the "king".

Therefore, even if a few henchmen and important ministers have always respected Xie Long, they can't help but look at them angrily at this time.

Only Lu Ding's face remained unchanged, his body softened again, and after thinking calmly, it might be a way to survive in Daizhou in the south.

The Lu family can only be regarded as a pseudo-family, and the bad luck fed back by its blessed land has not yet been made up.

The family needs him to maintain the survival of the Yang Shi Foundation, otherwise it will be difficult for the family to succeed.

"No matter what the cost, we must send someone to envoy Jin Guo...... In addition, resource manpower began to enter the state. ”

"This is top secret, and no other subjects are to be made aware of, and the details are up to you."

……

A great victory in the Chaotic Jiaoxia can make Dingxi make a big move and change the country's policy.

How big should the impact be on the local territory of Dingguo, it can be said that it is a dead end.

On February 26, the news reached Fumin City, the Dingjun army was unstable, and the will of the army to hold on to the isolated city completely collapsed, and Lei Zhen could not suppress it.

Lou Jinpeng seized the opportunity and ordered the siege of the city, even though the preparations were not yet complete, but the strength of the army was declining, and he still forced Lei Zhen to withdraw the army the next day.

When the Dingjun army completely withdrew from Fumin City, only 50,000 of the 70,000 army remained, and he abandoned nearly 20,000 along the way.

But who knows, the earthen fort on the way to Fancheng has been captured by Li Dingguo after Li Dingguo.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xuanfeng Army only had 10,000 horses, and after it was rolled out, it would not be possible to form a corps offensive, and I am afraid that Lei Zhenzhen would not be able to withdraw from Fancheng.

Only a hundred miles away, Lei Zhen walked for three days, and the 50,000 horses lost 20,000 again, and the cavalry was also exhausted in Chu Kai's pursuit.

Among them, there are many silver Jiaoqi who were once regarded as dependent, and sacrificed in vain in order to protect the main force retreating.

But you think it's safe to hide in Fancheng, but no.

Lei Haomiao strictly ordered him to hold on, because in front of Dingzhou City, there was only Fancheng, the last barrier.

"Lone will be sacrificed with the manuscripts of the Dingzhou dynasties, please help Chitian...... The great luck of the soldiers will definitely inspire the fighting spirit......"
