"No, no..."
"Dad brought you a gift."
"No, I want to go, I have to go..."
The King of Qin has always been at a loss for this precious son, almost always responding to every request. He looked at Hua Rong and tentatively said: "I sent two guards to watch over him..."
Hua Rong said flatly: "Little Hutou, you are not allowed to go! If you don't obey me, your mother will be angry!"
Seeing his mother's face darken, the little tiger's mouth flattened, but he didn't dare to cry.
Li Tinglan said softly: "Madam, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will help Third Uncle take good care of the little tiger's head."
Two wet nurses also came over. They had brought the little tiger head with them since childhood and regarded it as their biological son. In the past two years, the little tiger head had grown up day by day, and they each married other men on the island and had children.
Uncle Yang also came out tremblingly on crutches: "Little Hutou, are you disobedient again? Come on, grandpa will take you to find fun things."
Hua Rong looked at these people and saw that each of them would take good care of the little tiger head. What else could he be worried about
Seeing that he was wronged, King Qin softened his voice and said, "Little Hutou, we will be back soon. Just be obedient. When Dad comes back, I will give you whatever you want. I will play with you every day, okay?"
Hua Rong also smiled slightly and patted his head: "Little Hutou, once you drive away the enemy, your mother will stay with you every day."
Lu Wenlong, who was lagging behind, ran over with a spear and said loudly: "Little Hutou, when my brother comes back to teach you martial arts, and you become more powerful, you can come with us."
Little Hutou listened to his brother's words the most, so he reluctantly agreed, got down from King Qin's arms, held Uncle Yang's hand slowly, and watched everyone go away helplessly.
Hua Rong walked a few steps, she was a woman after all, and looked back at her son, but she was relieved to see that he was already playing with a group of children.
On the cruiser, almost everyone was dispatched. King Qin stood on the high deck, looking at all his elite troops. Behind him, stood Hua Rong and Lu Wenlong. Both mother and son had arrows on their backs, and Lu Wenlong had more in his hands. He acquired two majestic spears. After several naval battles, he personally participated in them and killed countless enemies. He has become the most courageous young general under King Qin.
What pirates admire the most is a hero. Once Lu Wenlong showed his skills, of course everyone no longer thought that he could only receive such preferential treatment because he was the king's son.
A boss's flag was raised, and between the sea and the sky, there was a huge word "flower".
The yellow characters on the red background carry a kind of richness full of charm. In the richness, there is also a murderous passion.
Hua Rong stared at this flag, as if he had a feeling of being possessed by his soul. In many battles, this flag has been raised, bringing great victory.
What about this time? What will happen this time
Egret Island.
This is where Liu Ning's navy is stationed.
Zhao Deji suddenly retreated, leaving only one instruction: King Qin and others must be driven away and killed. However, there is no details on how to arrange it or when the backup will come.
Liu Ning stayed in the big tent every day, bored.
He was originally an army general who was not good at water warfare. He was hastily recruited to suppress bandits. Firstly, there was no legitimate reason and the army was unknown. Secondly, the terrain was unfamiliar and naval warfare was not his strong point. Thirdly, His Majesty's thoughts were unpredictable. .Not even all the soldiers, not even him, a senior front-line commander, could tell what the meaning of this war was.
Under such circumstances, it is completely unrealistic to mobilize a large army to fight to the death. Moreover, most of the troops he took over were Zhang Jun's troops. Only after taking over did he know what kind of army Zhang Jun had led over the years, with complete discipline. Corruption. Not long after the army was stationed, they harassed the people around them. The army lacked women. After serving in the army for three years, the sows were used as Diao Chan. When these people saw fishermen's girls, young and old, they all captured and had fun. What they did was completely different from what they did before. How much better is Daijin's army
Looking back at what the pirates have done, according to Liu Ning's investigation, they have never disturbed the people in these years. On the contrary, they have absorbed a large number of household registrations, reclaimed wasteland, increased fishery, and developed prosperously.
The common people compared the two and regarded the imperial army as bandits.
Liu Ning was worried, but he had no time to reform such an army that had been hastily taken over. He could only sit there and carry out Zhao Deji's order, besiege instead of attack, and then completely kill the King of Qin when reinforcements arrived.
Unexpectedly, King Qin took action first.
This was already a month and a half after the army was stationed. King Qin was more accurate than him. The army of the imperial court was almost out of food and grass, and the morale of the army was very turbulent.
On this day, a spy ran in sweating profusely: "Report to General Liu..."
Liu Ning was overjoyed: "What? The food and grass are coming soon?"
"Sorry, General Liu, the imperial court's army of grain and grass was kidnapped just after they left Jianghuai..."
Liu Ning was shocked: "Nonsense, who dares to rob the imperial court of food and salary?"
"The villain doesn't know, there are no clues. It is estimated that he should be a local bandit."
How could there be such powerful bandits in the local area
Liu Ning's heart sank. At this time, robbing food and grass was obviously an insight into what the imperial court was doing. Who could do such a thing
Which army has such ability
Could it be that King Qin still has the support of unknown mysterious forces on the mainland
He immediately asked: "What did the court say?"
"The villain got the news from the underworld. The court has not yet sent any further information."
The imperial court has not given any instructions on this yet
"Stay calm first and don't tell anyone about this."
"Yes. The villain has never told anyone except the general."
After the spies retreated, Liu Ning immediately summoned several military staff to discuss the situation.
"Now that the food and grass are no longer available, if the siege continues, we will cut off the food and grass before the King of Qin can do it. Everyone, what do you think?"
Everyone was talking.
"Who hijacked the food and grass? Who has such great ability?"
"Can we attack early?"
"Immediately report to the court and ask for reinforcements..."
…
Liu Ning waved his hand and heard the angry voices outside. An officer ran in: "General Liu, something bad has happened. I heard that the court's food and grass have been hijacked? The soldiers don't have enough to eat and have started to cause trouble..."
Liu Ning was shocked, who spread the news so quickly
He immediately led his troops out and saw a group of soldiers fighting in front of a large garrison tent on the island, fighting for a bag of steamed buns.
"Stop..."
He shouted loudly and couldn't hold it in anymore.
He flew into a rage, drew his knife, and cut the nearest contender in half.
Blood flew everywhere, and everyone stopped in shock.
"Kneel down!"
Dozens of people fighting for it knelt down together. Only then did Liu Ning see a few fluttering papers on the ground.
A scribe and staff member picked up a leaflet and read it out. It turned out to be a leaflet spreading about the lack of food and grass in the imperial court. Such leaflets were found in almost every tent.
Liu Ning's face was so gloomy that he was about to burst into tears: "A spy has sneaked into the army. Come here, conduct a thorough investigation immediately to find out where the spy is hiding!"
"yes!"
In the army, an intense and thorough investigation began immediately.
However, this aggravated the soldiers' panic and uneasiness. Lack of food and fodder, unfavorable deployment, and spies made this war extremely unpopular.
After struggling in the middle of the night, more than a dozen suspects were captured.
Everyone kneels on the ground and screams that they are wronged, but the true outcome of the trial cannot be determined.
Liu Ning had no choice but to order the killing of chickens and monkeys, killing all these people. The most urgent task was not to let King Qin see that he was waiting for food and grass to be cut off to counterattack, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
He wrote a secret letter and asked his most trusted bodyguard to send it out to report to the court whether it was war or peace. Everything had to wait for His Majesty's instructions.
Just when Liu Ning was panicking and uneasy, another person was even more uneasy than him.
Huaiyang Town.
The group of people stopped quickly and entered a small inn.
As soon as I sat down and drank a cup of tea, a man in black hurriedly came in: "Sir, we have found out that the food and wages of the Song Army and the imperial court have been hijacked..."
Jin Wushu was shocked: "Is this really happening?"
"It's true! This batch of food and grass was set out from Huaiyang. It was hard to get it together, but it was set on fire before we even got out..."
It's burned out!
The robbers couldn't take them away, so after they beat away the imperial troops, they simply set fire to them all.
It is simply impossible for the imperial court to gather such a large amount of grain and grass, because now is the lean season, and the grain in the south is not yet mature.
Jin Wushu stood up, with a strange light shining in his eyes: "Could it really be Lu Tiha who did it?"
Wu Qimai reminded him: "How can Lu Tiha alone have such ability?"
That's right, such a plan and precise operation cannot be done by one person. On the contrary, it should be completed by an extremely large army with detailed division of labor and orderly cooperation.
No matter how powerful Lu Tiha was in martial arts, he was just a monk. How could he do this
… …
Moreover, if it is done so precisely, how can it be completed with clever and meticulous planning
The more Jin Wushu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He thought he had given King Qin a huge gift, but compared with this gift, it was nothing to mention.
As of today, things are so confusing and confusing that he simply could not have imagined.
"Sir, the political situation in the Song Dynasty is so chaotic. Is something big going to happen?"
Jin Wushu rolled his eyes and was very interested.
What big things will really happen in the Song Dynasty
"Master, should we prepare in advance?"
Jin Wushu thought for a while, then sat down, wrote a secret letter, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it to a guard: "You rush back immediately and give it to the Wolf Lord."
"yes."
As soon as the guards left, he felt relieved.
Wu Qimai whispered: "Such a good opportunity, the Wolf Lord shouldn't miss it again, right?"
When he smiles, who knows!
I opened the window and faced a gust of warm wind, only to realize that this spring was almost over, and summer had come before I knew it. Outside was the typical small bridge and flowing water, the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and the weeping willows blowing lightly on the river bank. Here, even the weeping willows are as beautiful as The north is different. The weeping willows here are softer and more charming. Unlike in the north, even the willow trees show a sense of vicissitudes of life.
The longer he stays here, the more he likes the scenery of this southern country. This is one of the reasons why he is unwilling to go back to lead the army in person, and would rather stay here day and night.
At that time, people ridiculed Zhao Deji, saying that the warm wind made tourists drunk and called Hangzhou Bianzhou. It turns out that this Jiangnan land is really a land of ecstasy and bone-gnawing. Heroes have fallen here. I wish I could be pretty in pink and paint a boat. Who would want to have trouble? What are you going to do if you have nothing to do? No wonder nomads initiate every war first. It’s bitterly cold outside the Great Wall, but the Central Plains is comfortable and prosperous. Who doesn’t want to take a share of the pie
He turned back and looked at the books on the table. In addition to Su Dongpo and Wang Anshi, there were also Li Yian and Xin Qiji... The culture and brilliance of the Song Dynasty had experienced the Jingkang Revolution and the Huaiyang Fire, but it could still rise so quickly.
