Dongting Lake is divided into two lakes, the east and the west, connected with the Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River in the east, and the Yuanjiang River and Lishui River in the west, which is only larger than the Poyang Lake.

Dongting swallows the big river, the islands in the lake are all over the place, the officers and soldiers occupy the east Dongting in the Xiangjiang River basin, and merchants come and go, while the thief army and fishermen are distributed in the west Dongting, and the fishing wood is bought and sold, and it is self-contained.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, a bright moon shines in the sky, the middle of the lake is sparkling, like ten thousand points of silver light, and on the largest island in the West Dongting, the figure is like weaving.

Shenlong Island, is the nest of Dongting water thieves, this island is very vast, there were originally more than a dozen fishermen to avoid chaos here, after being occupied by Lin Wen, renamed Shenlong Island, built Shuanglong Hall, control the waters of Dongting Lake.

"How can this be reasonable, Liu Qi'er is too deceitful!"

There was a roar from the Shuanglong Hall, a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a scar on his lilac face, it was Zhou Xiong, who was making trouble.

The government released a list of articles everywhere today, and even offered a reward of 100,000 yuan for his Dongting Shuangjiao's head, if they were caught at the same time, they could be rewarded with 300,000 yuan, and the rest of the big and small heads also had a lot of bounties.

The dozen or so leaders of the thief army in the hall all lowered their heads, their faces were bright and uncertain under the burning torches, and they didn't know what to think.

"Brother Xian, Liu Qi is a divisive plan, to divide the brothers!"

On the handsome position, an elegant man in his thirties sighed, with three locks of beard and deep eyes, it was the two-headed Jiao Wen, the leader of the Dongting thieves.

"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have robbed that official ship!" Zhou Xiong was so angry that he stomped his feet, "I didn't get any benefits, but I caused trouble." ”

Lin Wen shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Liu Qi has ordered the southern tour a few days ago, and the Jingzhou Navy has decided to train in Dongting Lake. ”

Zhou Xiongyi gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said: "Since Liu Qi doesn't let us live in peace, let's fight!" ”

Lin Wen read the official list again, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Zhou's mother and son, you have to send someone to take care of it, maybe it will be useful." ”

"I don't want to see that kid again, if you are reluctant to kill, you can send someone to take care of it."

Speaking of the hostages, Zhou Xiong was even more angry, the kid who was kidnapped actually talked about relatives with him, everyone is the Lingling Zhou family, fratricidal, which is not in line with the morality of the rivers and lakes.

Lin Wen smiled and said: "Didn't the virtuous brother take a fancy to that lady and want to accept her as an inner room, why do you have such an attitude?" ”

"Don't mention it!" Zhou Xiong waved his hand, "It's bad luck for Lao Tzu, in short, I don't want to see this mother and son again!" ”

Zhou Xiong learned that the two were orphans and widows, and when he saw that the lady was beautiful and virtuous, he wanted to accept her as his wife, anyway, they were all a family, and it was nothing to remarry.

Zhou Budo and he discussed seniority with him, and after calculation, he was the same generation as the Zhou Dynasty, and he became the nephew of that kid, which is simply unreasonable.

If it weren't for the fact that his family tree was damaged in the war, Zhou Xiong would definitely go to find out.

At the moment of the great enemy, Lin Wen didn't want to be distracted by these trivial things, and asked: "Liu Qi was a blockbuster, defeated 300,000 Cao troops in Nanyang, and captured the generals Cao Ren and Xiahoudun, which shows that this person must have the ability." Now that its naval army has been stationed in Dongting Lake, and has released a list of demagoguery, we are in danger, what good strategies do you have to deal with the enemy? ”

"Liu Qi is just relying on the geographical advantage!" Zhou Xiong sneered: "Even if he is strong in land warfare, the water war will definitely be inferior to ours, it's a big deal that we share Dongting Lake, they are in the east, we are in the west, and the two have nothing to do with each other." ”

"Liu Qi is a relative of the Han family, and he is determined to support the imperial court, even if we don't fight with him, but since ancient times, officials and bandits have not been on the same side, how can Liu Qi allow me to stand on my own feet in Dongting Lake?"

Lin Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the sentence on the list, even his heart ached, not to mention those minions and the people.

In order to make everyone understand, the list is written extremely straightforwardly: if you are a thief once, you will be a thief for life.

Everyone in the world is ashamed of being a thief, and it will inevitably affect future generations, and children and grandchildren will never be able to raise their heads.

If he can change his evil and return to righteousness and atone for his crimes, Liu Qi will not be blamed for the past, not only will he divide the land, but also re-register his household registration, and the past will not be investigated.

At the end, the list also shows Liu Qi's determination, in order to ensure the tranquility of Dongting, Changsha and even Jingzhou, if there are thieves in the territory who are stubborn and unwilling, they will not be tolerated, and they will be eliminated.

This example is both soft and hard, knowing it with reason, moving it with emotion, and a vicious battle is inevitable.

Zhou Xiong clenched his fists and roared: "If Liu Qi doesn't give us a way to live, it's a big deal to fight to the end of the net, and Lao Tzu will be a good man again in eighteen years!" ”

"Heroic ......" Lin Wen laughed at himself and ordered: "In any case, at present, patrols must be strengthened to guard against officers and soldiers, and the Jingzhou Navy has also been trained for many years, which should not be underestimated." ”

"If we defeat the Jingzhou Naval Army, won't we be famous all over the world?" Zhou Xiong laughed when he heard this: "This battle will make the prestige of Dongting Shuangjiao spread all over the world. ”

"Go ahead!" Lin Wen nodded, "Mochizuki Island should increase its troops, send more sentry ships to patrol, and don't let officers and soldiers set foot in the West Dongting." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, this time our Spirit Jiao ship is going to show its might." Zhou Xiong was in high spirits and strode away.

Lin Wen walked to the door of the hall, only to see the moon and stars, a gust of night wind blowing, and the complicated mood seemed to have a trace of clarity.

has been a thief for many years, and with the fate of his uncle Ou Xing, he has long felt confused about his fate and future.

As said in the list article, even if he dominates Dongting in his life, he can't get rid of the word "thief" after all, and he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law until now.

Lin Wen prides himself on being a heroic and righteous man and is unwilling to rob forcibly, but whose woman is willing to marry a bandit?

It is a pipe dream to make a contribution, make a name for posterity, and seal a wife and son like in the book.

After many years of familiarizing himself with the books of the sages, the more Lin Wen perceived his inferiority and humiliation, not to mention his ambitions.

But the most important thing at the moment is to show your strength, and by the way, test Liu Qi's ability.

Good birds choose trees to perch, if they are not the master, what is the use of the effect?

Zhou Xiong rushed back to Wangyue Mountain overnight, and gathered all the leaders to repair the ships, prepare military weapons, and compete with the officers and soldiers.

The waters around Mochizuki Island are open, and from the highest point on the island, you can see all the movements, not to mention a boat, even if a bird flies by, you can see it clearly.

Lin Wen explained that he wanted to guard against the officers and soldiers, but Zhou Xiong didn't care, but he expected Liu Qi to send troops and give him a dismount first, and those examples would naturally be useless.

Over the years, the officers and soldiers have been dispatched many times, and Cai Mao has long wanted to destroy them, but they all returned, and the ships have all sunk before they reach Mochizuki Island.

This area of water has long been lined with many defensive lines, and there are countless sentries and secret swatches, some hidden in the islands, some in the high places, and even among the fishermen, they have their eyes.

In addition, Mount Mochizuki is also very dangerous, this island is extremely high, surrounded by wind and waves all year round, the rocks are smooth and steep, and the only two harbors have been built into water villages, which have long been heavily guarded.

If the officers and soldiers could not capture Mochizuki Island, they would not dare to enter the West Dongting rashly, and if they made a detour, the Spirit Jiao Boat and the Ghost Shark Team would make the officers and soldiers pay a heavy price.

Two years ago, Cai Mao divided his troops in this way, 3,000 officers and soldiers were buried in the lake, and never dared to come again.
