At this time, the city of Dengzhou Mansion was full of soldiers, looking like a great enemy. Pro-Shell Pavilion

Wang Shizhong was in no mood to care about any enemies, he had already sent the news of Liaodong to Tokyo quickly, and now he was waiting for the emperor's order.

"It's just a few thieves, as long as Your Majesty agrees to send troops to attack Liao from the sea, those thieves will not be wiped out in an instant."

Wang Shizhong drank tea and said, although the thieves attacked the knife fish village boldly, but after all, they hid their heads and tails and did not dare to show their true bodies, which shows that they are just rogue thieves.

"Lord Zhizhou, Dengzhou Mansion has been carefully investigated, and no suspicious characters have been found."

Sun Li walked into the Zhizhou Yamen dressed in a cloak and hugged his fist in front of Wang Shizhong.

"It's good if not, I have already reported this matter to the court."

Wang Shizhong nodded.

Sun Li's heart was relieved, he had been running all over Dengzhou non-stop in the past two days, fortunately, the responsibility was not on his side, otherwise he would have hung up.

"So the thieves really came from the sea!"

Zong Ze looked in the direction of the sea.

"General Huyan, how many warships are there now?"

Zong Ze looked at Hu Yanqing and asked.

"The verdict is fair, the big ships were all attacked and sunk by thieves, and now there are only a few dozen small boats that can sail."

Hu Yanqing replied.

"Is there only such a small boat?"

Zong Ze frowned, only such a small boat is not enough to go to sea to suppress thieves.

"In that case, I will write to the imperial court again, please allocate some loach warships."

Wang Shizhong said.

"I'm afraid it's too late! It will take at least a year to build a warship, and it will be too late for the ship to arrive! ”

Zong Ze shook his head and said.

"Then let the Southern Sailor come to the rescue! There are many ships in the south, and it is not a problem to transfer a dozen of them. ”

Wang Shizhong said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent, the difference between the north and the south in the war was very large, and if they wanted to transfer ships from the southern naval division to the north to help in the war, I am afraid that the emperor's order may not be useful, otherwise the Ping Navy would not have been on those old warships all these years.

"In this way, we will gather the local people to build warships, and recruit merchant ships and fishing boats in Dengzhou, and organize the fleet to go to sea to investigate as soon as possible, and we must find out where the thieves came from."

Zong Ze thought for a while and said, the unknown thief is entrenched near Dengzhou, which makes it difficult for him to sleep, and he must find out the details of the thief.

"Yes!"

Hu Yanqing saw that there was no opposition in Wang Shizhong, and immediately hugged his fists, Dengzhou stood by the sea, and it has always been an important port in the north, with many merchant ships, and it is not a problem to gather a group.

……

Salmon Island.

"If the direction is right, five or six days will be enough!"

Xu Guanzhong looked at the map on the wall with a smile, playing with a small compass in his hand, the Ping Navy is worthy of being stationed in Dengzhou for a long time, and the charts of the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea are extremely detailed.

"The military advisor is going to sea!"

Ruan Xiaoer was taken aback, Xu Guanzhong's words obviously meant to leave.

"Yes, I'm going to go to Liaodong in person! This sea route is already very mature, and the imperial court used to buy horses here. ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile, pointing to a marked sea route.

"Strategist, I'm not worried about the sea route, it's just that the Jurchens and Khitans are fighting in Liaodong now, and the Jurchens are ferocious, and the military advisor is afraid that it will be dangerous to go!"

Ruan Xiaoer hurriedly said, with the strength of their navy, they are already invincible in the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea, and crossing the sea is not a problem, but what about the danger on the other side of the sea?

"Yes, the military divisions overseas are all barbarians, this past is too dangerous!"

Fei Bao also opened his mouth to persuade that he had studied the situation overseas, and although overseas people were ignorant, they were also barbaric and ferocious, like wild beasts, and hurt people at every turn.

"It's better to ask my brother and ask him to send some more people."

Ruan Xiaowu opened his mouth and said, this time they are all sailors, and they are naturally not afraid of anything on the water, but when they go to the land, the combat strength in the south is insufficient, and there are many masters in Liangshan, so it is better to call some more.

"You don't have to worry, this time it's just a temptation, it's not good if there are too many people, it's good for me to go with Ma Daochang, I don't have the idea of going deep into Liaodong, there will be no danger."

Xu Guanzhong opened his mouth and said, this time he was going to take Ma Ling, who was proficient in the local language of Liao, with him.

"Strategist, Xiao Qi will also accompany you! With Xiao Qi here, no one can touch a single hair of the military division! ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"Strategist, then let Xiao Qi go with you with the Third Fleet!"

Ruan Xiaoer saw that Xu Guanzhong insisted, and no longer stopped it, but he was also in favor of letting Ruan Xiaoqi bring people over, Ma Ling's martial arts were already strong, Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun were even more masters of water warfare, and it was safe to have these three people to protect each other.

"Well, let's go today, so I can report the situation in Liaodong to my brother as soon as possible."

Xu Guanzhong nodded.

Everyone watched Xu Guanzhong, Ma Ling, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Zhang Shun go north with the fleet.

"Second brother, I just had an eyeliner report, and Dengzhou is collecting merchant ships and fishing boats."

Ruan Xiaowu said in a low voice.

"Merchant ships and fishing boats? Then we have to show them what naval warfare is! ”

Ruan Xiaoer said coldly, this time they came out to control the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, and they also practiced naval battles, although Liangshanbo is big, it is not as wide as the sea after all.

"Why don't I take someone first?"

Fei Bao said.

"Okay, Brother Fei Bao will take the lead!"

Ruan Xiaoer nodded.

At the port of Dengzhou, seven or eight large merchant ships have been assembled in place, and there are hundreds of small fishing boats next to it.

"General Huyan, is there a specific location of the thief?"

Sun Li looked at Hu Yanqing and asked, as a soldier and horse in Dengzhou, he has the responsibility of catching thieves and suppressing bandits, if the thieves go ashore, it will become his responsibility, and he must prepare early.

"It's nothing more than those islands!"

Hu Yanqing pointed to several islands in the north, which had been searched along the coast of Dengzhou, and there was no trace of thieves, only a few islands in the offshore sea could hide thieves.

"Then you can go to Salmon Island first, if the thieves come by boat, they will definitely be able to see it!"

Sun Li looked at Hu Yanqing and said, Shamen Island is the closest to Dengzhou.

"General Huyan, this time it's just going to sea to investigate, you don't have to fight hard with thieves."

Zong Ze looked at Hu Yanqing and said, this temporarily formed fleet is full of civilian ships, and the combat power is definitely insufficient, and the thieves are ferocious, if they fight, they will not be able to resist.

"Don't worry, the last general will go and go back!"

Hu Yanqing hugged his fists and saluted, but he cares carelessly in his heart, the last time the knife fish village was because the enemy took advantage of the fog to sneak attack, if he opened the formation with a sword and a gun on the sea, with his many years of naval combat experience, it is nothing to take down the thief.

"Sail and go to sea!"

Hu Yanqing gave an order, and the fleet that had just been formed set sail.

"Before Hu Yanqing comes back, strictly guard the Dengzhou Mansion and beware of thieves from mixing into the city."

Zong Ze looked at Sun Li and ordered.

"Yes, the verdict is fair."

Sun Li hugged his fists.

Everyone left, and Sun Li began to wonder about the task of patrolling the city.

"Lord Tiha!"

An errand officer ran to Sun Li's side and whispered in his ear.

"What! How could they be caught! ”

Sun Li's face changed.

"Aren't there tigers on Dengzhou Mountain, those two people are Mao Taigong outside the city......"

The officer whispered.

"Now that there are thieves outside the city, we must deal with it cautiously at this time, and you don't make a noise for now."

Sun Li looked at the errand officer and said.

The crowd dispersed, and Sun Li returned to his mansion in the city.
