"General Zhao......"

The corners of Xiao Yuanchang's mouth moved slightly, his eyes fluttered, and he stopped talking:

"General Zhao was ordered by His Majesty to lead troops to search for the eyes and ears of the Donghu people in Qiongzhou, and he was quite successful."

Liu Ke nodded, it is still suitable for Zhao Ning to catch spies, and if he gets lost, he may be able to find a few hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is normal to have a lot of gains.

It's just that Xiao Yuanchang still had a bitter face and said:

"Half a month ago, General Zhao sent someone to report that he had found a Donghu person sneaking into the dense forest and went to destroy it."

Liu Ke couldn't help laughing, life is like a lost Zhao Ning, you never know what he will bring in the next moment.

"That is, there has been no news of Ziyi for half a month, no matter what, if you don't mention him, if you don't get it when you return, you will deduct his money!"

Xiao Yuanchang shook his head, he had never seen such a general, and when he walked, there were no people.

That is, after Zhao Ning was lost, he was really able to make meritorious contributions, and now His Majesty is tolerant of others, and he will be punished with a small punishment, and if he wants to replace it with someone else, he will have been pushed to the end a long time ago and become a big soldier.

As soon as the civil and military returned to Qiongzhou City, the dust was settled.

Liu Ke rested for a little for three days, and then got the news that the Puliuru Department had mobilized all the ships and Chen Bing was at sea.

For a time, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and people's hearts were moving.

Only when I saw the flags of the ships of the Puliuru Department waving their flags and covering the sky and the sun as soon as they sailed, did they know that the hundreds of old-fashioned ships brought back by the emperor from going to sea did not play a role at all.

Liu Ke didn't care about resting any longer, so he summoned He Kun to accompany him and went to the prison to see Jia Wuji together.

In the dim candlelight, Jia Wuji was sitting on the straw mat of the cell.

There was a chessboard in front of him, but he didn't drop the black and white chess pieces, he just supported his cheek with one hand and patted the straw mat with the other, looking calm and calm.

It seems that the turmoil inside and outside the government and the opposition has nothing to do with him, and he is enjoying a peace unique to prison.

"Sir, I've come to ask for a plan."

Liu Ke didn't dislike the environment of the prison either, and went straight to Jia Wuji and sat down.

He Kun stood aside, he didn't dare to sit, whether it was the emperor or Jia Wuji, he was afraid in his heart.

Needless to say, the emperor's prestige was fought with the lives of the Donghu people, and Jia Wuji was also copied from his home and his hands were full of blood.

He Kun couldn't help but recall that in these days, when he approached the family and ransom people with money, others saw that it was him, not Jia Wuji, and they were relieved.

Those are all the patriarchs of a wealthy family, which one has never seen the market? Which one is not in power in the clan and intrigues?

was intimidated by Jia Wuji to such a point!

He Kun lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, but just glanced at the jailer guarding and ordered him to retreat.

Jia Wuji said:

"It seems that the Donghu people should have mobilized ships and want to blockade Qiongzhou."

"If you want to take the initiative, the big man must have the strength to fight at sea."

"Sun Zhien, a great pirate in the South China Sea, has 20,000 pirates in his hands, nearly 100 ships, and has a grudge against the Donghu people, so he can lure them and make them help."

It is much more difficult to train a sailor than to train a foot soldier.

Sailors should be familiar with the waters, ensure that they can drive warships in all kinds of waters, and drive steadily even if there are wind and waves.

It is also necessary to master the necessary knowledge of hydrology and astronomy, be good at identifying directions, calculating voyages, and be familiar with shipping lanes.

Moreover, discipline must also be extremely strict, citing the fact that water warfare is more complex than land warfare, and the division of labor is more detailed.

The slightest mistake can lead to chaos.

The most basic will be water, and the water is good, so naturally there is no need to say much.

There are a lot of prerequisites, and there is no one who can train a qualified sailor in three or five years.

Therefore, Jia Wuji's method of enriching the water power of the Han Dynasty is to attract foreign aid, rather than taking the trouble to spend time practicing on his own.

Liu Ke is different, he is not a sailor, he is a pirate, so it took more than half a month to train 8,000 Han soldiers into a useful pirate, and he turned Sun Zhien to rob him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at He Kun, who was still bowing his head and listening carefully to everything, and said:

"When the Donghu people mobilized their ships, I had already gone to sea in person and subdued the pirates of the South China Sea."

Jia Wuji looked like he never thought about it, and bowed again and again:

"Your Majesty! So you have a soldier who can fight on the water! ”

At the same time, he showed a little worried, and there were a few more furrows on his already wrinkled old face:

"It's just that there are soldiers, but it's not enough to fight against Donghu."

"There are a large number of ships built in East Hupu Liuru, and even if there are pirate ships, they are definitely not comparable to the warships of the whole country."

"What does Jia Qing have to do?"

"Yizhou has many ships, many trees, and all of them are Han states, which can be cited as foreign aid."

Yizhou can directly take the ship, and Jiaozhi can build a ship, both of which are good ways.

Liu Ke glanced at He Kun again, and saw that He Kun's eyebrows were becoming more and more deferential, so he said:

"Yizhou also belongs to the Han Dynasty, and now I have hundreds of ships and nearly 30,000 sailors in my hands."

"Oh?"

Jia Wuji's eyes, which had been slightly closed, couldn't help but widen a little, and the expression on Ban Stagnant's face became richer:

"In this way, it is natural to have a fight with Donghu!"

Liu Ke clenched his fists and hammered heavily on the chessboard, making a bang:

"Why don't I want to?!"

"If the Donghu people want to blockade the sea area of Qiongzhou, I will kill and bleed on this sea, and open a way out of the dead!"

Then he looked at Jia Wuji angrily and said:

"It's just that the Donghu people are powerful, and the people in the DPRK and China are moving and struggling, so how can I win?"

Jia Wuji sorted out his thoughts, and after this sentence, what the emperor really wanted to ask:

"The Donghu people are powerful, so they must be coerced first, and Zhang Huaiyang is safe, since he has lost Qiongzhou, he will not easily seek war."

"If the minister's guess is right, within a few days, the Donghu people will inevitably send a letter of peace to shake the courtiers."

"The Han Dynasty already has a state, and there are not a few people in the court who covet comfort."

"They have wives and children, they have families behind them, they are at war with Donghu, their safety is not guaranteed, and they need to consume a lot of money and food."

"Therefore, it is only this letter and letter that can raise the war-weariness of those people."

Liu Ke's eyes rolled and his brows furrowed slightly, it was indeed a troublesome matter.

When only Qiongzhou City was left, they had nothing to fight against.

occupies the entire Qiongzhou, but has a certain amount of capital, and there are naturally not many people who are willing to give up everything and fight to the death with Donghu.

Moreover, the gap between the Dahan Sailor and the Donghu Sailor is on the bright side, as long as you are not blind, you can see it.

"What if I have to fight?"

Jia Wuji said: "Then you have to kill, kill people's heads and blood flows." ”

"In this way, we can stabilize the government and the opposition."

Liu Ke said sharply: "Then kill!" ”

He Kun, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but shudder.

When others say this, he doesn't believe it, the huge Qiongzhou, the intertwined court, how can it be said that it can be easily killed?

It was the emperor and Jia Wuji who discussed this matter, and he really had to believe it.

One dares to hand a knife, and the other dares to cut.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this move is too radical, Qiongzhou has not yet won the hearts of the people, so it is easy to lose people's hearts if they act like this!" ”

He Kun is indeed thinking about the imperial court, although indiscriminate killing can stabilize for a while, but it is easy to isolate himself from the world.

Liu Ke put away the anger on his face and said calmly:

"If you don't want to shed a river of blood, then you have to let He Qing take a look at what kind of attitude the important ministers of the dynasty and the central family have."

He Kun is a smart man, although the news in the prison is closed, but with Jia Wuji's ability, he can also deduce the development of the situation, and the emperor does not need to repeat it.

In this way, all the things just now were just done for him to see, showing the emperor's resolute attitude towards the main battle.

The emperor used two people to deal with the family.

One is Jia Wuji, who holds a knife and kills.

The other is He Kun, who builds bridges and manages communication.

Now Jia Wuji is in prison, and He Kun is on the bright side, but if you can't communicate, it is He Kun in prison, and Jia Wuji has a knife.

"The minister can save it, the minister can save it."

He Kun responded again and again, his Beipu He family has a big business, and when he sees that the Donghu people are so strong, he naturally won't fight.

and harmony, to ensure the stability of a state, he can make money.

But now that the emperor is doing this, he is forcing him to stand in line, forcing him to let other important ministers of the family also take sides.

Jia Wuji didn't take He Kun's statement seriously, the old god was there, and said:

"Puliuru sailors are tired from afar, and they are not familiar with the waters of Qiongzhou, and the so-called strong crossbow cannot wear Lu Min at the end, which is a big taboo."

"Puliuru Amam is quite wise, and Chen Binghai is at sea to deter the courtiers and make the court and China turbulent."

"But it's not an opportunity."

"If Your Majesty can solve the problem between the DPRK and China, the government and the opposition will be united in their hearts and minds, and they will definitely be able to find an opportunity to take advantage of it and break it in one fell swoop."

Liu Ke nodded, knowing in his heart.

The next focus is to deal with the strange voices in the court and see how far He Kun can communicate.

If He Kun doesn't communicate well and doesn't cherish the opportunity, then he can only fill the treasury with tears.

The situation developed as Jia Wuji had predicted.

As soon as Liu Ke came out of the prison, the letter from the Donghu side to negotiate peace arrived.
