In the past, the Perak military merchant ships went south to do business, and they were escorted by naval warships, and they also received Yu Xing's edict in Jiading - in fact, they paid taxes into his private pockets. At the moment, Yu Xingyuan was fighting in Chongqing, and the ruffians under his command were unrestrained, so they let themselves go. For the sake of secrecy, the ships of the Perak Army to Banju did not fly the flag of the navy, but only the flag of the caravan, and even the gunboats and escort ships were disguised as transport ships. In the eyes of Yu Xing's soldiers, these mighty ships are simply fat sheep sent to the door, and it is difficult to get rich today. Immediately, the trumpets sounded, and they all drove the boats around.

The so-called "hunger and cold make stealing hearts", Yu Xing is extremely greedy for money and often deducts military salaries, these soldiers are also extremely poor on weekdays, and their thirst for property has reached a pathological level. Ren Rude ordered people to play the banner of the Thunderbolt Army, and took out the official letter stamped with the seal of the Yongkang Army, but these soldiers still insisted that the flag and the official letter were forged and had to be checked on the ship. The intentions of these ruffians, how Lu Dezhi and Boss Qian didn't know, they just wanted to control the ships and kill people and goods.

As long as the interests and temptations are great enough, these ruffians can really do things that can kill people and destroy their mouths. In their opinion, even if someone knew about it afterwards, the court would have nothing to do with them, after all, it was up to them to kill the Mongols. As for Yu Xing, he is even less worried, as long as he is filial to some property, the matter will be clear. In this chaos, what law is there? Fists are the last word.

In fact, the Jiading army was not afraid of the Thunderbolt army, but was a little faintly dissatisfied. On the one hand, this is because Yu Xing's father and son deliberately scandalized Thunderbolt Army and Ouyang Xuan. In particular, the naval army that Jiading was proud of was suppressed by the Mongolian naval army, while the Thunderbolt army defeated the Mongolian naval army. Many generals and veterans in the Jiading army who have been in the army for many years are not convinced at all out of jealousy. On the other hand, there is the forbearance of the Thunderbolt Army. Although Yu Xing was only the nominal superior of the Thunderbolt Army, Ouyang Xuan had been forbearant in his dealings with Jiading out of consideration for the overall situation of resisting Mongolia. For example, Yu Xing's tax revenue from Baizhang City is an example. In the eyes of some people in the Jiading army, the reason why the Thunderbolt army was able to fight with the Mongols was only because of the turtle defense and good luck.

Lu Dezhi would not agree to these ruffians on board, and when they saw the large number of firearms carried on the ship, their desire to kill people and sell goods was even stronger. It was Liao Loach who was in charge of the escort this time, and Lu Dezhi refused to back down, and it was even more impossible for him to let these ruffians get on the boat. In Liao Loach's eyes, these soldiers and ruffians are no more than 50 boats, or most of them are small boats, and the number of people is only more than 200, and they actually dare to come over to make trouble. If you really want to fight and kill them, you just need to work together. It is no exaggeration to say that the combat strength of the embassy's escort this time is even more than a thousand new annexes.

For a while, both sides were tense and refused to back down. The Thunderbolts have no way to retreat, and the ruffians are like red-eyed hungry wolves, willing to give up the fat sheep easily. At this moment, when he might miss the gun at any time, Ran Zhong took a small boat and walked to the middle of the confrontation boat. He first arched his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the steward of Banzhou Yang Mansion, and this time I am ordered by the head of the family to go to Qiongzhou to buy goods, and I hope it will be convenient." With that, he turned back and pointed to the largest boat behind him. The ship had raised a flag with the word "Yang" in large letters. After saying that, he drove forward and took out the official document of Banshu.

The soldiers of the Jiading Navy dispersed in a hurry. Banshu Yang is not something they can provoke. Some of them had fought against the Mongol army with the Banzhou army, had seen their fierceness and fearlessness, and had also seen those poisonous arrows, and admired their courage to face the Mongols. Blatantly looting the Yang ships, even if the Banzhou army does not come to retaliate, they will fall to the ground. The Yang clan didn't even need to make a compromise to the imperial court, they only needed to send someone to interrogate Yu Xing, and Yu Xing would definitely hand them over. The consequences of handing over to the Yang family, think about it, maybe it is lucky to behead the capital, maybe it will be Ling Chi or light the sky lantern.

After this twist and turn, on the way to Luzhou, Lu Dezhi ordered to slow down the pace of advance, first send a fast ship to reconnoiter in front, and then send a frigate ship to go first, and only after there was no abnormality in front of the fleet. Of course, it was safe to sail like this, and there was no more trouble along the way, not even the bandits, but the speed was much slower. By the time I arrived in Luzhou, it was mid-July. At this time, the fleet received the shocking news: the Mongol army had withdrawn from Diaoyu City and was now retreating to the north of Sichuan. Yang Yan immediately decided to change the original plan to get off the ship in Luzhou and take the land route, but continued to Fuzhou, and then went up to Fushui to Banzhou. This water is the Wujiang River in Ouyang Xuan's mouth.

Ouyang Xuan also received the news of the retreat of the Mongol army. The news was transmitted back to Jiading by Su San'er from Chongqing with carrier pigeons, and then transmitted back to the Thunderbolt Army through Jiading's "Firefox". Carrier pigeons are not easy to train and can easily reveal the identity of spies, so the "Firefox" is rarely used at risk. It's just that this news is extremely important, and Ouyang Xuan has specially advised him, so he has to take a risk. Su San'er said in a secret letter that tens of thousands of Mongolian troops suddenly retreated overnight for no reason, and Lu Wende thought that it was due to a shortage of food and grass and an epidemic of disease, and he also sent troops to chase after him, but he was unexpectedly ambushed. It turned out that the Mongolian army still hid 3,000 elite cavalry near Diaoyu City.

After Ouyang Xuan received the news, he immediately found the high-level leaders of the Thunderbolt Army to come to discuss the matter. In the deliberations, he did not delay too much time, but directly arranged the division of labor among the senior management, and divided it into three ways to deal with the current situation. The first route is that Huang Dagen will lead a team to Diaoyu City to inquire about the details. Since Su San'er is not a high-level person, he only knows the rough battle and does not know the details, so he needs someone to go to Diaoyu City in person. In addition to Ouyang Xuan, only Huang Dagen was familiar with Zhang Jue and Wang Li, and he became the first choice. The most important task given to Huang Dagen by Ouyang Xuan was to confirm whether Meng Ge Khan had died.

The second route is that Boss Qian led a caravan to Lin'an. Because of the access to extremely important strategic resources, Ouyang Xuan attaches great importance to overseas layout. Even if the resistance to Mongolia fails, it can also gain new living space for the Thunderbolt army and even the Chinese people. It's just that overseas development is extremely difficult, even more dangerous than fighting the Mongolian army. Although the Liuqiu Company led by Li Kaipeng had a good start, the people and financial resources were far from enough. This time, General Qian led a company of armed caravans and went with a large amount of property and weapons to speed up overseas development. During this time, the Thunderbolts obtained a lot of jewelry, cultural toys, gold and silver through seizures and trade. These treasures did not have much practical value, so Ouyang Xuan ordered the money boss to take all of them, except for sending some of them to Jia Yidao, Lu Wende and other high-ranking officials along the way, and the rest were all used for the operation of the company. At the moment, Lü Wende was in Chongqing Prefecture, and Jia Rudao was supposed to confront Kublai Khan's Mongol army on the Ezhou front.

The third way is to prepare for war. The Mongol army retreated, but this did not mean that it would withdraw from Sichuan. After withdrawing from Diaoyu City, the Sichuan Ximeng army will instead intensify its offensive against the Perak army and the Jiading army. Ouyang Xuan also prepared the whole army because Cao Zhizhou might surrender to the Mongols. Historical records have recorded that Yazhou and Li, Diao, Yan and other prefectures surrendered to the Mongols, but because the language is unknown, the exact time is not known. Following the seizure of Cao Zhizhou's correspondence with the Mongolian army some time ago, the Thunderbolt Army spies discovered that the Yazhou official and the Chengdu Mongolian army had frequent contacts recently, which increased Ouyang Xuan's worries. Once Yazhou falls into the hands of the Mongol army, the Thunderbolt army will fall into a state of being attacked on the back of the enemy. Ouyang Xuan would never tolerate such a situation, so he ordered the field brigade and the special brigade to prepare to send troops from Baizhang City and Changqiu Mountain.
