After Guan Qiuyu led his fleet away, King Zhennan returned to his naval warship with a calm face. Books.com

The two didn't talk to each other on the surface just now, and the most important thing was that they didn't want people to hear the conversation between them.

In front of the two armies, no one dared to guarantee whether their conversation would be heard.

Therefore, both of them tacitly did not speak.

"Prince" saw that his prince's face was not very good, Xiao An hurriedly looked at Xi Ying, who was waiting on the side.

Seeing this, the latter nodded, and then waved his hand to signal the ship's guards to avoid.

After the surrounding soldiers avoided it, Zhennan Wang Xuanyuan Yi raised his eyes to look at Xi Ying beside him, and said in a deep voice:

"Now the sailors, how many troop carriers are there?"

When Xi Ying heard this, he glanced at Xiao An behind Xuanyuan Yi, and then replied honestly:

"Back to the prince, there are less than a hundred and ten ships. ”

"Xiao An" heard that there were less than 100 troop transports left behind, and the face of the king of Zhennan remained unchanged, and he commanded:

"Within three days, 300 troop carriers were raised and sent to Fuling Ferry to be 'handed over' to Zhenguo Gong. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang" Hearing the words of his own prince, Xiao An was stunned at first, and then shocked.

Xiao An did not feel inappropriate about his own use of the sailor's troop carrier as a merchant ship.

After all, the previous kings of Zhennan were like this, and this was a common practice, not just after Xuanyuan Yi took over.

In addition, there has been little war in the south, and the sailor troop carriers cannot be used at all, if they are not turned into treasures, they can be converted into merchant ships.

I am afraid that those troop carriers will soon be turned into unattended waste.

Fortunately, now and even in winter, most of the merchant ships under the command of Zhennan Wangfu have returned, and although there are 300 troop carriers, nearly one-third of them will be transferred in a short period of time, although it is a little urgent, but it is not a difficult task.

At this time, Xiao An somewhat 'figured' that the master of the relationship was here to ask for a ship, and it made sense for the other party to ask for a troop carrier.

It's just that in this way, it is miserable on the side of the house, and the loss of nearly a third of the main fleet at once is not a heavy loss.

Originally, because the Zhennan Wangfu had a large troop carrier, it was a peaceful autumn 'color' with the five families on the water transport trade route in the south.

The five surnamed families control the output of the south, and the Zhennan Wangfu controls the input of the south, and neither side can help anyone.

The family with the five surnames is rooted in the south, and the major merchants in the south have some relationship with it, and although the Zhennan Wangfu holds an official status, it cannot be killed with a single shot.

Now, the loss of one-third of its own fleet at once, even if it can be replenished, it will not happen overnight.

Over the years, the Zhennan Wangfu has made a lot of money by taking advantage of the difference between water transportation and commodity imports.

These price differences, once controlled by the five surname families, will definitely be a huge blow to the Zhennan Royal Mansion.

However, Xiao An also knows that now is obviously not the time to talk about this.

Now that the prince has decided, he must have a solution.

Now he needs to 'worry' about his head even more, after all, Zhennan Wang Xuanyuan Yi has already said it clearly just now.

'If you can't do a good job, come to see you'

Xiao An himself is very aware of his prince's temper, and the other party can definitely do what he says.

What's more, now that his own prince is obviously holding his stomach and has nowhere to spill, if he really doesn't do things well, even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid he will lose a layer of skin for it.

Therefore, after speaking, Xiao An turned around and left, without any intention of staying.

After Xiao An left, Xi Ying on the side naturally increased his pressure, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his own prince's face, for fear that his own prince would accidentally sprinkle his anger on him.

Regarding his unauthorized mobilization of the sailor to confront the other party today without asking for instructions, Xi Yingxin couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

After all, the other party is strong, and if the two sides really fight, whether they win or lose at that time, it is difficult to say whether they can keep their heads.

"General Xi" saw that Xi Ying didn't dare to look up at himself in front of him, Xuanyuan Yi naturally knew what the other party was worried about, and was just about to say something.

But he didn't want to speak himself, so Xi Ying hurriedly confessed.

"The last general is reckless, and I hope that the prince will punish him. ”

"Oh, why did General Xi say this?" Seeing the other party say this, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but ask with interest.

"The last general mobilized the sailors to confront the general without asking for instructions, and the last general is guilty, please punish the prince. ”

Although the situation was urgent at that time, and the other party had been 'forced' to the 'door' of his home, Xi Ying, as the commander of the Nandi Naval Division, naturally couldn't get used to seeing Guan Qiuyu, a 'hairy' boy, showing off his might in front of him.

Transferring the water division without asking for instructions can be big or small, depending on how the king of Zhennan handles it.

Instead of waiting to admit the guilt, it is better to admit the mistake first, so that there may be room for maneuver.

Seeing that the originally five big and three rough Xi Ying in front of him said this, King Zhennan shook his head and chuckled:

"Hehe, it was Xiao An's slave who taught you to say this. ”

"This, this" was debunked by his own prince, Xi Ying couldn't help but turn around his head in embarrassment, and couldn't say why for a long time.

However, his mouth was also tight, and he didn't confess Xiao An.

If you want to lead troops to fight and command sailors to fight, he should naturally have no problem.

But calculating people's hearts and currying favor with officials, he really has no experience in this area.

Originally, he was the admiral of the Navy Division, Xuanyuan Yi saw that he had a set of troops to lead the troops, and the other party was not flattering officials, so he was specially promoted from the army.

After all, the position of Admiral of the Navy Division is needless to say how important it is under the jurisdiction of the Zhennan Palace.

At the beginning, although he Xi Ying made a lot of military achievements and his own talent was not weak, the only shortcoming was that his 'temperament' was too straightforward, and he was flattered by the deception of not knowing how to be an official, so he has been deeply suppressed by military generals.

When Zhennan King Xuanyuan Yi took over the Zhennan Palace, in order to balance the forces of all parties, he did not appoint cronyism and sent his cronies to take over the water division.

On the contrary, he unexpectedly promoted Xi Ying from the army and let him sing all the way to the position of Admiral of the Navy.

In the final analysis, it is because the sailors are not other and have no certain experience, and it is easy for a blind command to make big things.

Therefore, Xi Ying can be regarded as a pie from heaven that smashed him, and his strength and luck go hand in hand, becoming what he is today.

For the kindness of the king of Zhennan, Xi Ying has always kept it in mind.

This time, Guan Qiuyu is menacing, and he is even under the banner of Zhenguogong, if he is replaced by someone else, he must strictly guard the camp, and then report it, and 'hand' it over to be disposed of by the face.

However, in order to save the face of his Zhennan Palace, Xi Ying resolutely led troops to block and confront him without asking for instructions.

took good care of the face of the Zhennan Wangfu and the Nandi Water Master, so that Xuanyuan Yi would not be disgraced because of this.

However, for this reason, he also pushed himself to the forefront of the 'wave'.
