Dengzhou Mansion. Pro-Shell Pavilion

"Let's talk about what is the strategy for retreating from the enemy!"

Wang Shizhong looked at everyone and asked coldly.

Just when everyone was silent, Sun Li hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Zhizhou Xianggong!"

Sun Li saluted to Wang Shizhong.

"Something so big happened, why didn't your soldier Tihar appear until now?"

Wang Shi waited for Sun Li and scolded.

Sun Li didn't dare to answer, but just bowed his head and stood at the end of the official ranks, and Wang Shizhong didn't say anything more when he saw Sun Li like this.

After a while, Zong Ze also arrived with someone.

Zong Ze whispered a few words beside Wang Shizhong, Wang Shizhong's face changed a few times, and finally waved his hand to let the officials leave.

"Do you have a solution?"

Wang Shizhong looked at Zong Ze and asked.

"I can't talk about countermeasures, I can only say that I should deal with the people in the city first."

Zong Ze said.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Shizhong asked suspiciously.

"The purpose of today's thieves is obvious, that is, to put pressure on those big families in the city, we will have no good way to deal with those thieves for a while, but the fleet in the city can't wait that long, the sea route is not smooth, the goods are backlogged, and they will compromise sooner or later."

Zong Ze said.

"You mean those families in the city will contact the thieves privately?"

Wang Shizhong asked in disbelief.

"All the families in Dengzhou started by sea, and they have been very dissatisfied during this time, if they can't be navigated this month, I don't need to say more."

Zong Ze opened his mouth and said, Dengzhou is remote, and the local forces have been entrenched for a long time, and the government can't help them.

The speed of the imperial court's troop transfer is very slow, and it will take at least half a month to report this matter to Tokyo today, and it will be impossible to transfer troops from the south in a few months when Tokyo reacts.

"This ......"

Wang Shizhong was silent, what Zong Ze said He also knew that Dengzhou was not a good state, at its peak, there were 3,000 defenders in the city, and there were 2,000 square meters of navy outside the city, which looked strong.

But the total number of sailors and boatmen under the big families in the city is directly more than 10,000, and if you add up the wharves and fishermen, there are absolutely 20,000 or 30,000 people, and all of them are young and middle-aged.

"Thieves are so rampant, how can you and I explain to the top!"

Wang Shizhong opened his mouth and said that as the governor of Dengzhou, he was responsible for everything.

"Wang Zhizhou, the thief is simple-minded and wants to guard the sea to collect money, but once it is opened, the truth of the thief will be exposed sooner or later."

Zong Ze looked at Wang Shizhong and said.

"Huh?"

Wang Shizhong didn't quite understand what Zong Ze meant.

"Once it is navigable, fishing boats and cargo ships will be able to sail on the sea, and as long as the ships can go to sea, we can send people to find out the news."

Zong Ze explained.

"That's a brilliant plan!"

Wang Shizhong is overjoyed, this can be regarded as an explanation to Tokyo.

"Once the sea route is opened, everything will return to normal in Dengzhou, and the guards of the city must be strengthened to prevent thieves from entering the city. I think it is possible to set up temporary shacks on the docks outside the city, and those who take the sea route will not be allowed to enter the city easily, and will temporarily live outside the city, and all kinds of fish trade will be pushed out of the city. ”

Zong Ze added.

"I will tell Sun Li to do this."

Wang Shizhong nodded with a smile, so that he can know the truth of the thief, and the thief does not know the reality of the city, so he will take the lead, and he will be able to kill the enemy as soon as the imperial army arrives.

……

Salmon Island.

"I didn't expect the legendary Salmon Island to be like this, it's really a bad place."

Sun Lei said with a smile as he watched the waves crash against the rocks on the island.

As soon as you get to the island, you can feel the loneliness, this small island is far from the mainland, surrounded by the blue sea, and the whole island is like a small boat, as if the island is swaying with the waves of the sea.

"Meet my brother!"

Ruan Xiaoer, Fei Bao, Wang Dingliu, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng led people to salute Sun Lei on the beach.

"Brothers, hard work!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

The former prison town of Salmon Island has been converted into a military barracks, and the surrounding houses have been converted into barracks.

"Brother, this is the nautical chart of this island group, this map was obtained from the Ping Navy, and the younger brother has already sent someone to check it, and the actual terrain is consistent with the nautical chart."

Ruan Xiaoer pointed to the huge chart in the barracks and said.

"Yes, it's not that far from Liaodong!"

Sun Lei looked at the sea chart and said, the end of the island is only a hundred miles away from Liaodong.

"Yes, the military advisor and Xiao Qi went to Liaodong from this road."

Ruan Xiaoer nodded and said, sailing on the sea is very dangerous, but from Dengzhou to Liaodong is different, there are islands along the way, and when there are no islands, it will not be far from Liaodong, and those with a little experience will not get lost.

"By the way, there is no news from the military advisor!"

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoer and Fei Bao and asked.

"Brother, not yet, but with Ma Daochang, Xiao Qi and Zhang Shun following, it shouldn't be fine!"

Ruan Xiaoer said.

"Brother, the military advisor is on a giant loach ship, this kind of ship is invincible at sea, and there is no one in Liaodong who can compete with this kind of ship."

Fei Bao knew that Sun Lei was worried, and also spoke.

"I'm just curious about the situation in Liaodong."

Sun Lei nodded and said.

"Where's Hu Yanqing?"

Sun Lei asked again.

"Locked in the dungeon, this guy has a hard mouth and won't say anything."

Ruan Xiaowu pointed to the bottom of the barracks and said, where was the dungeon of Shamen Island, but now it is vacant, just to hold prisoners.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, Hu Yanqing's military ability is so-so, but his language ability is no less than Xu Guanzhong, and he is also proficient in many Chinese, and he is also good at arguing, and he is a diplomatic talent.

All the way to the dungeon, the dark cell was full of Ping Navy soldiers, and Hu Yanqing was locked in the innermost cell.

"Who are you?"

From the moment Sun Lei went down to the dungeon, Hu Yanqing noticed this young man, because the thieves who defeated him followed Sun Lei, and it was obvious that Sun Lei was the leader.

"Guess what!"

Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing with a smile.

"Liangshan Bo Sun Lei, those ships are yours?"

Hu Yanqing looked at Sun Lei and said, from the sound of the thief's soldiers at the intersection of the east and west roads during this time, plus Sun Lei's appearance, he can infer a few points.

"Guessed it, but there was no reward!"

Sun Lei laughed.

"Besides, have you ever heard of such a rule? I didn't identify myself, and if you directly broke it and recognized me, then I should kill someone. ”

Sun Lei's face suddenly turned grim, and he looked at Hu Yanqing and sneered.

"Hmph, if you want to kill, kill it, I'm not afraid of Yanqing!"

Hu Yanqing said very shamefully, now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, his resistance is meaningless.

"Okay, I really have a little courage, and I deserve to be the descendant of the Huyan family."

Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing with a smile, this kind of being trapped in embarrassment, being able to be humble or arrogant in the face of power, and swearing to the death is indeed the backbone that a diplomat should have.

"I, Hu Yanqing, am not good at learning arts, and I lost to you, and it has nothing to do with the Huyan family!"

Hu Yanqing took all the responsibility on himself, and he didn't want to involve the family.

Hu Yanqing knew very well that if it weren't for his lax guards, the Pinghai Swordfish Village would not have been attacked. If it weren't for his greed for merit, the Ping Navy would not have been completely annihilated and captured alive by the thieves.
