Great Song Pirate

Chapter 429 No Friends Forever

After the Fubo army occupied Toulon, they immediately began to build lighthouses, watchtowers and other facilities in the port, and set up bright and dark posts on the road leading to the interior, and took over the defense here. Xu Yi knew that he was a soldier this time. Taking a risky move, this time they negotiated peace with Li Chao and occupied Territory Lun, they will definitely annoy Zhan Ren, I am afraid that Zhan Ren will not let it go so easily, and now from the news we have received, Zhan Ren is now fighting with Li Chao, it is already Occupying an absolute advantage, and here is not far from the place where they are fighting, maybe Zhan people will really come to attack Toulon under the anger of the people, so after discussing with the generals, he appeases the local residents of Toulon. They gave favors so as not to involve them too much energy here, and at the same time built fortifications on the main road leading to the interior to isolate this place from the outside world on the land, so as not to be attacked from the land.

These things progressed very quickly. There were not many land passages, and most of them had to go through some mountain passes, so it was very convenient to set up barriers. Soon Yang Zaixing led his troops to initially build barriers on several main roads here. He sent troops to garrison, and on the sea, Xu Yi sent several sentry ships to patrol the sea to prevent people from being attacked from the sea, and he initially gained a foothold here.

After Zhang Xiao handed over Toulon, he left a few of his subordinates here as envoys stationed here to communicate with the Fubo army, and left Toulon with the rest of the people, and rushed back to Shenglong to return to his command. Xu Yi Before he left, he gave him a generous gift in private, as a thank you to him for cooperating with him these days, which made Zhang Xiao feel less guilty. After thanking him, he thought about it again. At that time, I sent someone to write a personal letter to Marshal Bingma who was fighting Zhanren, stating their current relationship with the Fubo Army, hoping that he would not provoke the Fubo Army without authorization, and try his best to establish a good relationship with the Fubo Army. Then left Toulon.

And after his letter was delivered to the Annan Camp, Marshal Li Yuanfeng, the leader of the Li Dynasty, read Zhang Xiao's letter, sat in the big tent and pondered for a long time. It would be bullshit to say that he wasn't angry with the Fubo Army, but he He is also a smart person, from the news he received recently and from Zhang Xiao's words, he also understands how terrifying this Fubo army is, and now he is fighting with Zhanren, so he has no interest and courage to go to Na Fubo without authorization The army settles the score, the only thing he has to do now is to withstand the crazy attack of the occupying people, lest the occupying people defeat their defense line, it is already burning incense, this time the occupying people are as fierce as taking a big tonic, which makes him It was simply irresistible, and of course he would not create new troubles for himself.

While putting away Zhang Xiao's letter, a soldier came running outside and reported to him: "Report to the Marshal! The scouts suddenly found a force of more than [-] soldiers in the direction of Toulon, heading towards Moving in the direction of Toulon, it seems to be going to attack Toulon's skeleton army, please Marshal decide!"

Li Yuanfeng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately felt happy. Now that there is a good show, the Zhan people actually want to turn against the skeleton army, just to vent their anger on their Annan people, so he waved and said: "Don't care about them, let them Let’s go! This skeleton army did harm to Annan some time ago, and it’s just for them to suffer a lot!” He felt a little schadenfreude.

The lieutenants and soldiers in the tent all smiled, thinking to themselves that the Skeleton Army is in trouble, it would be better if someone can catch the Skeleton Army by surprise, kill more Skeleton Army, and go out for them Get angry!
The soldier who reported the letter turned around and walked out of the tent after receiving the order. At this moment, Li Yuanfeng looked down at the letter from Zhang Xiao to him on the table, suddenly his heart moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, let me Think again!"

After contemplating for a while, Li Yuanfeng suddenly raised his head and gave an order: "You hurry up and go to Toulon to inform the skeleton army there, tell them that there are occupying people coming, and let them prepare in advance!"

Everyone in the tent was immediately dumbfounded and froze together.

A general immediately stepped forward and said to Li Yuanfeng angrily: "Master Marshal! I have something to say about my humble position!"

Li Yuanfeng nodded and asked him to say, the general said angrily: "The humble officer doesn't understand why the marshal wants to take care of the skeleton army. The skeleton army has been wreaking havoc on our Annan coast during this time. I don't know how many soldiers and civilians have been killed and how many of us have been looted." The property was taken to our Toulon by force. Now that the Zhanren are turning against them, it is time for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. We don’t bother them. Why do you report to them? It’s best Let Zhan Ren kill all these damned skeleton troops, and vent the anger in our chest for us!"

As soon as his words fell, most of the people in the tent immediately echoed him. Li Yuanfeng nodded and said, "That's good! But you didn't think deeply! Then I'll explain it to you! Now we and Zhan Ren The reason for the failure of the war is because of this skeleton army. Now we all know how powerful the skeleton army is. These people are ruthless characters that we can't afford to provoke. I hate these people just like you. If it weren't for them, we How can we fight so hard? But who is our biggest enemy now? Tell me!"

After thinking for a while, the general below sighed and said, "Of course it's the Cham people! But we don't have to go..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuanfeng raised his hand to stop him and continued: "That's right! Our biggest enemy right now is occupying people! No matter how powerful the Skeleton Army is, they will not capture our country. Helping the thieves is all about benefits. Now that I have negotiated peace with them, they have stopped harassing us. This time, Mr. Zhang sent me a personal letter. He told me that the leader of this skeleton army It's not as simple as we thought. They suddenly captured our Aizhou City some time ago, and took all the military rations I hoarded there. They could have burned it down, but they didn't do that, but In the end, they gave it back to us, and chose this time to make peace with us, and stopped harassing us, do you know why?"

The people in the tent were confused by what he said, and shook their heads to express their ignorance.

Li Yuanfeng went on to say: "This means that the leaders of their skeleton army are not in collusion with the Cham people, and they have no intention of letting us die at the hands of the Cham people. That is to say, they chose to be neutral in the war between us and the Cham people. We were defeated by Zhanren, and Zhanren took advantage of it!"

The people in the tent were in an uproar immediately. They didn't expect such a level. If Li Yuanfeng said so, the leader of the skeleton army really had such a meaning in doing so, so they all started whispering to each other.

After the people below talked for a while, Li Yuanfeng went on to say: "Although this skeleton army is really hateful, at this point, they still have a high hand for us. If they burn Aizhou's military rations in one fell swoop , so now we are afraid that we will collapse without fighting, and I am afraid that you will no longer have the fate to stand here and talk. I think our king must have seen this before negotiating peace with them and handing over this Toulon. To them, I am afraid that the purpose is to make them enemies of the Cham people. The reason why I want to send someone to report to them is that I hope to find a helper for us at this time. The skeleton army is terrible. Our people have already experienced it After that, Ke Zhanren didn't know how powerful they were, and chose this time to turn against the Skeleton Army. It can definitely be said to be a foolish move by Abu Alan!
As for us, now that we have lost Dazhanhaikou, there is no way out. It just happened that the Skeleton Army took over Toulon, allowing us to shrink our troops to the current area. We can’t see the Skeleton Army now. The sneak attack by the occupied people is successful. If the occupied people win, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us. We will surely fall into the situation of being attacked from the front and back. We are already fighting very hard. Once the occupied people attack from the flank again, I am afraid The battle situation will be very bad for us!So the skeleton army cannot be defeated now!And it is absolutely impossible to lose!If they lose, it will only be bad for us and not good for us!

And it's also a matter of our face. Once they lose to the Zhanren, it will be even more embarrassing to us. We can't beat the Skeleton Army, and Zhanren can't beat the Skeleton Army. Do you understand?Now you should understand why I sent someone to report to the Skeleton Army!We need them now to be our allies not our enemies! "

After hearing what Li Yuanfeng said, the people below figured out the reason. It turned out that Li Yuanfeng saw things so thoroughly. No wonder he became the marshal!Everyone couldn't help admiring him secretly, and no one spoke out against this matter anymore.

It's not that Xu Yi is ignorant of the battle situation. During this period of time, he has inquired a lot about the situation of the battle between Annan and Champa. He knows that the Dazhanhaikou has been taken back by the Champa people again. He didn't think that Zhan would attack them right now. At this time, Zhan should concentrate on dealing with Annan, so he didn't take this matter too seriously, but was busy stabilizing the ground here in Toulon.

When he saw the port of Toulon gradually settled down, he just wanted to take a breather and take a good rest, when he heard that Cui Yan came to report that there was an officer of the Li Dynasty who had brought a small team of fine cavalry here, saying that he was a soldier of the Li Dynasty. The messenger sent by the Marshal said that he had something very important to see him. Xu Yi was very surprised when he heard it. He didn't know the Marshal of the Li Dynasty. Why did they send people here at this time?Is it possible to refuse to accept them, is it to fight the battle?So he nodded and said, "Please come and see me!"

Cui Yan immediately sent an order to bring the Li Chao officer in, and not long after, a Li Chao officer strode into Xu Yi's hall, and politely saluted Xu Yi: "I am Li Yuanfeng, General Li Yuanfeng, the Generalissimo of Li Chao's soldiers and horses. Messenger, see Chief Xu!"

Xu Yi wasn't interested in who he was, but what he was interested in was the purpose of his trip, but seeing that he was so polite, he said, "You're welcome, I don't know why your Grand Marshal sent you here? "

The Annan officer continued to hold his fists together and said: "Our general sent here to report an important military situation to you, the chief. Our scouts suddenly found a soldier on the road leading to here, and they were marching here. It is to be detrimental to your army, Marshal Li does not want to see your army being attacked by occupying people, so he sent his horse to report the news, please prepare early!"

Xu Yi was surprised when he heard this, but immediately became a little confused. This news is really very important to him. If they hadn't notified him, he might have suffered a dark loss, but he couldn't figure it out. Well, given the current relationship between them and the Annan people, the Annan army and civilians should hate their Fubo army to the bone. Why did they come to inform them of such an important military situation?

Xu Yi thought about it for a while, and after summarizing the battle situation between Li Chao and Zhanren received in the past few days, he immediately understood the reason, so he said with a smile: "Then I really want to thank Marshal Li, for putting such an important Tell us about the military situation, please go back and tell Marshal Li, thank you for your kindness, our Fubo Army will handle this matter, and we will repay you if we have the opportunity in the future!"

The officer of the Li Dynasty immediately bowed and humbled, and then explained to Xu Yi the route of the Champa's advance, and then he left, and was sent out of the town by Cui Yan, and drove away with his small group of cavalry Leaving Toulon, not to mention returning to their camp.

After Xu Yi sent the Li Chao officer away, he immediately summoned the generals to his residence and told them the news.

"When did the Annan people become our allies? They came to report to us so fast? Can you believe what they say?" Lin Xiong scratched his head and asked in doubt.

Wang Zhi and the others also nodded and said, "Can you trust the words of the Annan people? It's not like they are playing some conspiracy!"

After Yang Zaixing lowered his head and pondered for a while, he said, "From what I've seen, it shouldn't be a fake!"

Xu Yi was about to speak, when he heard what Yang Zaixing said, he asked him very interestedly, "Why does Zaixing think so?"

Yang Zaixing came out and replied: "This matter is not difficult to understand. Now the Annan army and the Champa army are fighting, and the battle situation is very unfavorable to them. They should not dare to easily disadvantage us now, and we are now in the Annan army. In the rear of the army, although this place is not an important place, for the Annan people, the loss of this place will definitely be a great disadvantage to them. Their flanks will be exposed to the eyes of the Champa. Once the Champa takes this place , will definitely attack their flanks from here. At that time, it will be really difficult for the Annan people to be undefeated! Therefore, I think that the Annan people will not choose this time to turn against us. This caution should be true !"

Xu Yi nodded and said: "Zai Xing is really not only a tiger general, but also a wise general! He saw the problem clearly, not bad! I also think that the news about the Annan people can't be false. Some time ago, King Zhan sent someone to Mei Dao came to me and planned to let us be his gunmen. I asked them for 50 taels of silver, but they didn't agree, so we accepted the compensation from the Annan people and gave the Annan people a chance to breathe. Now we Occupying Toulon undoubtedly angered the King Zhan, that's why he sent troops to attack us. I guess he just couldn't see us occupying their original territory. If he wants to take it back, he can also occupy the Annan people's flanks, killing two birds with one stone. It's a good idea! They really don't know how powerful we are. Since they dare to come, then let's not be polite to them. We have to fight this battle beautifully, and we will stun them all at once. We must completely deter them with this battle Give the Annan people a hand so that they don't dare to provoke us easily in the future, so that we can really gain a firm foothold here!"

All the generals immediately shouted in unison: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely show Zhanren our skills!"

"My lord! I just received the carrier pigeons released by the sentinel ship, and it was reported that a convoy of occupants suddenly appeared in the southern sea and was heading towards Toulon. There are about a hundred of them. Please decide, my lord!" The personal guard suddenly ran in from the outside and reported to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi and the generals below looked at each other, nodded and said: "It seems that the Annan people really didn't lie to us, and the Champa people are really coming to trouble us!"

At this time, Qian Gui said: "I really wonder if King Champa's brain is broken. He dared to trouble us at this time. He is looking for a dead end. Now we can deal with these guys in a legitimate way." !hey-hey!"

Everyone was not worried about the fleet of the Champa Kingdom, and everyone looked relaxed. Zheng Guang said: "The world is really unpredictable! A few days ago, we were enemies with the Annan people, but now we have become allies! Really! Some people can't accept it!"

Xu Yi laughed loudly: "The various forces in this world are different from the relationship between us brothers. There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies, only eternal interests!"

Xu Yi stopped the topic, and then issued an order loudly: "Yang Zaixing, Lin Xiong listen to the order!"

While thinking about what Xu Yi said just now, when Xu Yi suddenly called his name, Yang Zaixing and Lin Xiong rushed out and said, "The last general is here!"

"Yang Zaixing is the leader, and Lin Xiong is the deputy. I will send you another batch of artillery and ballistas. I will order you two to lead the army to ambush at the mountain pass. I will deal with them severely! Don't let them enter our Toulon area." Half a step!" Xu Yi ordered.

"Please don't worry, my lord, I will guarantee that the Champas will not set foot in Toulon!" Yang Zaixing replied loudly.

"The last general has an order, and this time the Champas must have a taste of our strength!" Lin Xiong promised, patted his chest.

Xu Yi nodded and then shouted: "Sun Hai, Wang Zhi, Zheng Guang listen to the order!"

The three of Sun Hai immediately came out and said, "The end is here!"
