Chapter 568: Jinli Hidden Needle

Cai Yong didn't think so, his eyes rolled and said: "Village master, I heard that Chen Yan's 'River Turning Dragon' is hidden in the Tonggu Gorge waterhole, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Their chain boats are good stuff. If we can take it, the strength of the 'Dragon's Village will be greatly increased. ”

Wu Laoba shook his head and said: "Military advisor, you are not arrogant at this point, people can't be too greedy, King Huashan treats us sincerely, we can't tear down other people's corners at this time." ”

Cai Yong said: 'The owner of the village will be wrong. The 'Huashan Black Dragon' is accustomed to land warfare, and water warfare is our advantage. Those sailors of the 'River Dragon' have just surrendered, and there are no people who know how to fight water to command them. We're just taking it by the hand. There is no such thing as a clever. ”

Wu Laoba pondered for a moment and said, "What the military advisor said is right, water warfare is our forte. Let's see how King Huashan arranged. ”

When the news came, Huashan Xiang did not mean to hand over the new water village to the "Dragon Village", they arranged a new owner of the village, Ou Lingtian's son Ou Xiaofeng, and three brothers Dalintai, Darentai and Daritai assisted. Joint operation with "Dragon's Village". Xu Yi, the "prodigal son of the rivers and lakes", was responsible for liaison and became the owner of the three villages of "Dragon Village".

Wu Laoba didn't say anything, but Cai Yong was dissatisfied, and instigated in front of Wu Dong many times: "The owner of the village, the king of Huashan is still not at ease with us, and sent a young master who doesn't understand bullshit to control the 'Turning River Dragon' in the past, and it is not messed up." We have to keep a hand, otherwise the 'Dragon's Village' will suffer a big loss. ”

Wu Laoba said: "The military adviser is too worried, don't mention this matter in the future and disturb the morale of the army." ”

Cai Yong touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and he didn't dare to say anything more. However, he still has an abnormal heart, and he will cause great damage to the "Dragon Village" in the future, which is a later story.

After all the arrangements were made for the water village, Shen Yixian also wrote to say that the water bandits in the Tonggu Gorge waterhole had all been trained, and the three brothers Dalintai, Darentai and Daritai had become the real leaders, and everyone was convinced. Ou Lingtian told him about Ou Xiaofeng's departure to Shuizhai. Shen Yixian said: "Uncle Ou's decision is very correct, the Tonggu Gorge waterhole is a unique and good place. When Xiaofeng came, they had the backbone. Just ask Uncle Ou to rename this place. ”

Ou Lingtian thought for a moment and replied, "Let's call it Black Dragon Pond Water Village." ”

Shen Yixian said: "Good name, it's decided." When will Xiaofeng arrive?"

"It's only been a few days, by the way, Yixian, you can't leave Heilong to talk about Shuizhai for the time being. Let's wait until Xiaofeng is completely in control of the situation. ”

Shen Yixian said: "I understand, Uncle Ou, you can rest assured." ”

Ou Xiaofeng set off to Heilongtan Water Village, here in Shiyan, Ou Lingtian discussed with Ji Kang to prepare to launch a water bandit robbery for a big business. The target, of course, is the salt transport of the great eunuch Liu Jing. The source of the news had to be provided by General Zhan Guocheng, the defender of Shiyan, and although Zhan Guocheng verbally agreed, he never took action. So much so that Liu Jing transported several boatloads of illicit salt in a row, and he was laughing in his dreams.

Ou Lingtian has a way to deal with Zhan Guocheng, Shen Sirui is controlling him remotely, this girl is too dexterous, playing a game of wanting to capture and indulge, Zhan Guocheng has come to visit "General Xianwu's Mansion" several times, Shen Sirui just didn't see him, and the hot-blooded man who killed the enemy on the battlefield without blinking his eyes moved his heart for a woman, put down the shelf and sincerely asked to see him. He also gave a small and delicate Tang knife, the scabbard was veneered with gold, and it was inlaid with eighteen precious stones, and it was heavy in his hand. Brilliant gold. It was a true blade, sharpened like clay. Who knew that Shen Sirui didn't appreciate it at all, and said: "I'm not a killer, what do you want a knife for." Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. ”

Well, Zhan Guocheng has become a lascivious person who has nothing to do. I don't know what he's going to think.

Ou Lingtian found Shen Sirui and said his opinion, the great eunuch Liu Jing has been holding a lot of money recently, and he has to deal with his arrogance. cut off his wealth. Shen Sirui hated these dog officials, and when she heard that Zhan Guocheng was still hesitating, she became angry and scolded: "This bastard who eats inside and crawls outside, I'll clean him up." ”

Shen Sirui said that she would do it, and went to the General's Mansion in Zhan Guocheng in person, since there were women in it, it was much cleaner, and she also had the interest in life, such as flowers, flowers, grass, butterflies, and bees dancing, and the soldiers were also relaxed, and many things that should not have been done by men gave them a headache for a long time. Seeing Shen Sirui immediately go in to report, Zhan Guocheng hurriedly ran out, and saw Shen Sirui smiling all over his face, and his words were not neat: "Shen, Miss Shen is coming to the cold house, and she is shining." ”

Shen Sirui smiled angrily, what is this called, what is it shining, and replied with a pout: "General Zhan, I am here to return the treasure knife, Miss Ben will not kill." ”

Zhan Guocheng was stunned, and it took a long time before he said, "Miss Shen, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that." ”

Shen Sirui ignored him, but walked into the living room with a big grin and looked at it and said, "Well, yes, I also know that I have raised flowers, when will the double flying swallows return, and the peach blossoms on the shore will be dipped in water." It's finally dawning. ”

Zhan Guocheng replied: "That's not as good as Miss's peach blossom face, and it's not as good as natural jade." ”

Shen Sirui glanced at him and asked, "The general also knows poetry, I thought you would only use knives and guns." ”

Zhan Guocheng said: "It was Miss Shen who opened a door for me, so that I could know that the peach blossoms were still smiling at the spring breeze when the face of the person was gone." ”

Shen Sirui nodded and said, "The general is also a smart person, and smart people often understand it at one point. Right?"

Zhan Guocheng didn't understand, at this time the maid brought fragrant tea, Shen Sirui took it and sat on the chair and said, "The general should know my background and know what I hate the most." If it weren't for Huashan Wang and Uncle Ou becoming friends with you, I wouldn't have come here. The general I was a hero, and his prestige was far and wide. Miss Ben admires you very much. But if the general is empty and out of the valley, he is not a real man. Don't let me be a beautiful woman rolling up a beaded curtain and sitting deep with frowning moth eyebrows. But when I saw the tears wet, I didn't know who I hated. ”

Shen Sirui's words are hidden needles in the brocade, there are praises and disadvantages, Zhan Guocheng, who was stabbed, couldn't sit still, and replied with a red face: "Miss Shen is really fast-talking, I like your character." To tell you the truth, Zhan Mou has selfish intentions, and he was shocked when he saw Miss for the first time, it was you who knocked on the door that had been closed in my heart, and I Zhan Guocheng was also a dignified seven-foot man, I don't want to beat around the bush, I like Miss, I don't know if you can give me a chance. ”

Shen Sirui's face flushed slightly, and she pondered for a moment before replying: "That depends on your appearance, besides, I, Shen Sirui, am not a weak woman who depends on men to support me, and I want my husband to sing and wife to be a man's appendage, so you dispelled this idea as soon as possible." I have my freedom and plans for the future, and if the general can withstand my temper and character, I will consider it. ”

Zhan Guocheng laughed: "Okay, good, happy, Miss Shen, you are a phoenix bird, the sky is high and the bird can fly, I will not put it in a cage." How about we fly with wings?"

Shen Sirui's eyes lit up and said, "A gentleman's word." ”

"Whip the horse. ”

Shen Sirui smiled, the smile was so sweet, Zhan Guocheng was stunned.

Zhan Guocheng told Shen Sirui that the great eunuch Liu Jing was recently preparing to make a bigger deal, transporting a batch of illicit salt from Huai'an across the Yangtze River to Nanjing, a whole ten salt ships, each carrying nearly 2,000 stones of illicit salt. It is equipped with the steward of the East Factory to be responsible for the escort, and is equipped with two naval division warships Cangshan Ship and 100 sailors, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Liu Jing asked the local sailors to protect along the way. Here's the route and time.

Shen Sirui went back to the mansion to make a difference, and the matter in the general's mansion was just a few simple words, and the appearance of understatement made Ou Lingtian nod his head. This woman is not shocked by humiliation and can do great things. Discussed with Ji Kang Li and Yi, Ji Kang has a lot of experience in running business outside all the year round, and said: "Huai'an, Jiangsu Province has a high salt production since ancient times, and the Ming Dynasty has 'two Huai salt classes, enough to be half of the world', and Huai'an is located in the throat of water transportation in the north and south, and the first emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the early Ming Dynasty dredged several salt rivers in Huai'an, and the salt transportation fleet to and from all parts of the country is increasing day by day. Liu Jing just took advantage of the loophole and seized the opportunity to control Caoyun in his own hands, and came together openly and secretly. Even Ming Chengzu Zhu Di hid it. ”

Ou Lingtian shook his head and said, "Zhu Di actually knows everything, and he is now conniving at Liu Jing, because Liu Jing is still useful to him." However, the Yangtze River water bandits were rampant, and the repeated failures of the Daming Water Division were indeed concealed by Liu Jing. Otherwise, Zhu Di would have re-energized the water division to suppress the bandits. The 'River Dragon' was wiped out by us, Wu Laoba did not take action, and a small group of water bandits did not dare to blatantly hijack official ships, Liu Jing thought that the water surface of the Yangtze River was too peaceful, so he seized the time to transport smuggled salt and make a fortune. This time, the volume of transportation reached 20,000 stones, and we didn't accept the windfall sent to the door. ”

Ji Kang replied: "Of course, collect the goods with the people, let this dead eunuch lose his wealth and die again, and suffer a dumb loss." ”

Li Ji said: "This salt transportation has the participation of water divisions, as well as the minions of the East Factory, and it is a vicious fight. It is very likely that the soldiers of Liu Jingdong's factory are hiding on the salt carriers, and their strength cannot be underestimated. Among them, there may be a master of Ouchi, after all, the number of escorts is huge, and the one along the river is not eager to try, and take advantage of the fire to rob and make a windfall. So Liu Jing invested a lot of money this time and defended it tightly. We must concentrate superior forces to break through in one fell swoop, and we must not drag mud and water, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”

Ou Lingtian nodded and said, "Li Ji is right, people die for money, birds die for food, Liu Jing knows this truth very well. The water bandit on the Yangtze River is not an outlaw, and when he sees the money, he will gamble desperately. Liu Jing's escort fleet will definitely experience hard battles, but there are very few water bandits on the Yangtze River who can form a climate, and there are no strong ships and cannons, and in the end, Liu Jing's sailors will still win, but they are already scarred. And we are waiting for work with ease and winning steadily. (To be continued......)
