Great Martial Arts Auxiliary System

Chapter 943
After Shangguan Qiuyu led his own fleet away, King Zhennan returned to his naval warship with a gloomy face.

The two didn't talk on the surface just now, the most important thing is that they don't want people to hear their conversation.

Before the battle between the two armies, no one could guarantee whether the conversation between the two sides would be heard.

Therefore, both of them tacitly did not speak.

"Wang Ye" saw that his lord's complexion was not very good, Xiao An quickly winked at Xi Ying who was waiting at the side.

Seeing the latter, he nodded, and then waved his hand to signal the soldiers on board to avoid.

After the surrounding soldiers evaded, Zhennan Wang Xuanyuanyi raised his eyes to look at Xi Ying beside him, and said in a deep voice:
"How many troop carriers are there in the navy today?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Ying glanced at Xiao An who was behind Xuanyuan Yi, and then replied honestly:

"Go back to the prince, there are less than a hundred ships."

"Xiao An" heard that there were less than a hundred naval troop carriers left, and King Zhennan's expression remained unchanged, and he ordered:
"Within three days, raise [-] troop carriers and send them to Fuling Ferry to hand over to Lord Zhen Guo. If there is any problem, please come and see me."

"Yes, my lord." Hearing his lord's words, Xiao An was taken aback for a moment, then surprised.

Xiao An didn't think it was inappropriate for his family to use the navy troop carrier as a merchant ship.

After all, this was the case with the previous Zhennan kings. This is a common practice, not just after Xuanyuan Yi took over.

Furthermore, there have been few wars in the southern lands, and the naval troop carriers are not used at all. If they are not turned into treasures, they are converted into merchant ships.

Those troop carriers would probably become useless waste in the near future.

Fortunately, now and even in winter, most of the merchant ships under the command of the Zhennan Palace have returned. Although there are many [-] troop carriers, nearly one-third of them have been dispatched in a short period of time. Although it is urgent, it is not difficult.

At this moment, Xiao An somewhat understood that whoever was in love came 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 will be miserable for my own side, losing nearly one-third of the main fleet at once, such a loss is not insignificant.

Originally, because the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had a large troop transport ship, it could be said to be on par with the five surname families on the southern waterway.

The five-surname family controls the export of the Southland, and the Zhennan Palace controls the import of the Southland, and neither side can do anything to the other.

The five-surname family is deeply rooted in the Southland, and all the major merchants in the Southland have some relationship with it. Although the Zhennan Palace holds an official status, it cannot kill it with one blow.

Today, one-third of the fleet is lost at once, and even if it can be replenished, it will not happen overnight.

Over the years, the Zhennan Palace has made a lot of money by using the price difference between water transportation and commodity imports.

Once these price differences are controlled by the Wuxing family, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Zhennan Palace.

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

Now that his lord has made a decision, he must have his own solution.

Now he needs to worry more about his own head, after all, Zhennan Wang Xuanyuanyi has already spoken clearly just now.

'If you can't do something, please come and see me'

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 his prince is obviously full of anger and has nowhere to vent it. If he really doesn't handle things well, even if he doesn't die, he may lose his skin because of it.

Therefore, after speaking, Xiao An left in a hurry, without any intention of staying.

After Xiao An left, Xi Ying's pressure on the side naturally increased sharply, he did not dare to look down at his lord's face, for fear that his lord would accidentally spread his anger on him.

Xi Ying also couldn't help but feel a little bit uneasy about how she mobilized the navy to confront the opponent today without asking for instructions.

After all, the opponent is powerful. If the two sides really fight, no matter whether they win or lose, it is hard to say whether they can keep their heads.

"General Xi" should not dare to raise his head to look at him when he sees him in front of him, Xuanyuan Yi naturally knows what the other party is worried about, and was just about to say something.

But he didn't want to open his mouth, so Xi Ying hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.

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

"Oh? Why did General Xi say that?" Seeing what the other party said, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help asking with interest.

"The final general mobilized the navy to confront Major General Shangguan without asking for instructions. The final general is guilty. Please punish him."

Although the situation was urgent at the time and the other party had already pushed to the door, Xi Ying, as the admiral of the Southland Navy, naturally couldn't understand Shangguan Qiuyu showing off his power in front of him.

Mobilizing the navy without asking for instructions, this matter can be big or small, it depends on how the King of Zhennan handles it.

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

Seeing that the originally five-year-old Xi Ying said this, King Zhennan shook his head and said with a light smile:
"Hehe, Xiao An's servant taught you to say that."

"This, this" was exposed by his prince's words, Xi Ying couldn't help turning around in embarrassment, unable to explain why for a long time.

However, his mouth was tight, and he insisted on not confessing to Xiao An.

As for leading troops to fight and commanding naval forces to fight, he naturally has no problem with Xi Ying.

But calculating people's hearts and pleasing Shangguan, he really has no experience in this field.

Originally, Xuanyuan Yi, the admiral of the navy, was specially promoted from the army because he saw that he was good at leading troops and that the other party didn't flatter the superior.

After all, it goes without saying that the position of Admiral of the Navy is so important under the Zhennan Palace.

At the beginning, although Xi Ying made a lot of military achievements and was not weak in his own talents, his only shortcoming was that he was too straightforward, and he didn't know how to be an official, so he deceived others and flattered others, so he was always loved by lieutenant generals. Suppress.

When Zhennan Wang Xuanyuanyi took over the Zhennan Wangfu, in order to balance the forces of all parties, he did not use cronyism and sent cronies to take over the navy.

On the contrary, the unexpected general should be promoted 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 navy is no better than others, and without certain experience, it is easy to cause major troubles with blind command.

Therefore, Xi Ying can be regarded as a pie from heaven falling on him, strength and luck go hand in hand, making him what he is today.

Xi Ying will always keep in mind Zhennan Wang's kindness.

This time Shangguan Qiuyu came aggressively, even under the banner of Lord Zhen Guo, if it were someone else, he would have to strictly guard the camp, and then report it to the higher authorities for disposal.

However, in order to protect the face of his own Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Xi Ying resolutely led troops to stop him without asking for instructions, and confronted him.

It took good care of the face of Zhennan Prince's Mansion and Nandi Navy, so that Xuanyuan Yi would not lose face because of this.

However, for this he also pushed himself to the forefront.
