Great Song Pirate

Chapter 604
While deploying the forces in his hands, Xu Yi ordered people to continue to build various fortifications on the mountains and plains around Dalian, and at the same time sent people to strictly drill these new troops, hoping to put them into use when the war began. If you do it yourself, you can't just eat plain rice. The Fubo Army is not Da Song, and the food is not so delicious!

The battle preparations of both sides are in full swing. In order to counteract the terrible weapons in the hands of the Fubo army, the Jin people gathered Liao craftsmen in Liaoyang Prefecture to make a large number of thunderbolt cannons, siege ladders, rush cars, and pointed woods. Donkey carts and other heavy equipment are ready to deal with the Fubo army and storm Fuzhou City.

However, Yang Zaixing personally checked the terrain near Fuzhou City, selected several important places to set up obstacles, and prevented the Jin soldiers from approaching Fuzhou City. At the same time, he divided the soldiers and horses concentrated in Fuzhou City into three armies. He led the Chinese army to sit in Fuzhou City, Gao Jun led the left army to deploy defenses on the left wing of Fuzhou City, and Xiao Jianfeng's cavalry was placed on the right side of Fuzhou City. Use left and right assault forces on flat terrain.

Xu Yi also finally welcomed a series of reinforcements before the start of the war. The first to arrive was Xue Tu. After receiving Xu Yi's order, Xue Tu immediately recruited troops in Hangzhou in the name of King Qin, and gathered more than 2000 troops. He was young and strong, and closed the Weihai Escort, leaving a few people on duty to guard the Escort. He personally led all the Escorts and ships in the Escort, which were filled with money and materials donated by the Li family and various giants in Hangzhou, and these new recruits. He sailed out of Hangzhou Bay and arrived at Suzhou Pass without stopping.

After Xu Yi saw Xue Tu, he was naturally very happy. To put it bluntly, the bodyguards brought by Xue Tu were already members of the Fubo Army. Basically, everyone has good kung fu. They are all very impressive. Although the number is only over a thousand, their fighting power must not be underestimated. As for the two thousand recruits, although they have not received much training, they are all strong young men selected by Xue Tu from among the candidates. If after rigorous training, he would not have to worry about becoming a fierce soldier. What made Xu Yi even more happy was that Xue Tu also brought a large amount of property with the ship, as well as armor and other items donated by wealthy businessmen in Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces. And greatly enriched the strength here.

After Xue Tu handed over these military equipment to Xu Yi, he told Xu Yi that after the Li family in Hangzhou learned that the Jin army was attacking the Song Dynasty, they were worried that the situation on land would change drastically, so they started to sell most of their industries. The transfer to Liuqiu Island has also led many giant businessmen who have made good friends with them to transfer a large number of industries to Liuqiu Island. Even the steel and grain stored by the Li family in the early days were also shipped to Liuqiu Island. On the island, the Li family also asked Xue Tu to tell Xu Yi that as long as the Fubo army could use the steel and grain, they would let the Fubo army use it, showing great sincerity.

This is good news. The transfer of these wealthy businessmen to Liuqiu Island is of course welcome to the Fubo Army. After Liuqiu Island has these people's industries, the economy will definitely develop by leaps and bounds. Changing the current situation of still relying on farming and greatly enriching the strength of the Fubo Army, Xu Yi has long wanted to do this, but he was entangled in trivial matters and has not made much progress. Now the Jinren defeated the Song Dynasty, but they helped them so much Busy, Xu Yi didn't know whether to thank the Jinren or what to say!

Then Xue Tu mysteriously handed Xu Yi a letter. After Xu Yi took it in doubt, he saw that there was nothing written on the envelope, so he took out the letter paper, and immediately smelled a single scent, as if in I smelled it somewhere, and when I unfolded it, Xu Yi was a little dizzy on the spot, and a beautiful figure immediately appeared in his mind!

Because the handwriting on the letter paper is very beautiful, and there is no text at all. I only wrote two poems in lower case. One is the romantic son who stole Lu You in the Yingxian Building in Bianliang, Tokyo that day, and the other is the poem he obtained from Tang Bohu. The Peach Blossom Temple excerpted there, Xu Yi rarely plagiarized the masterpieces of historical writers in this era, but at the beginning in Bianliang, Tokyo, he took advantage of the wine to make these two songs, and he did not expect that they would appear in Xue Tu's hands today !How is this going?

Seeing Xu Yi who was a little dizzy, Xue Tuping stepped back from Daniu and the others beside him, and said with a small smile, "My lord is really amazing, even the No. 1 prostitute in Bianliang, Tokyo has been thinking about you all the time, my lord should be able to remember you." Let's do it!"

Xu Yi hurriedly packed the letter and quickly hid it in his arms. He looked at Xue Tu in surprise and said, "How did you get it? I warn you not to talk nonsense! I have nothing to do with this Li Shishi." ! How did you get her manuscript?"

Xue Tu replied with a smirk: "I didn't say anything. It seems that my lord is a bit guilty! Hehe! This letter was handed over to me by Miss Li, and I didn't collect it!"

Xu Yi became even more surprised: "How is this possible? Then Li Shishi is a celebrity in Bianliang, Tokyo. How did you meet her?" Xu Yi was really dizzy when he asked this question. Li Shishi should also be a confidante. After the Jin soldiers invaded Bianliang City, it is said that after she dispersed all her belongings, she swallowed gold and committed suicide, but for such a long time, he hadn't thought much about it. This Li Shishi is gone, and Tokyo Bianliang has not been breached by the golden man this time. He thought that Li Shishi should still be in Tokyo Bianliang, but how could Xue Tu see Li Shishi?Xu Yi broke his head and couldn't figure it out.

Xue Tu obviously didn't believe Xu Yi's words, and said in an elder's tone: "Okay! No need to explain, I understand that people don't waste youths! This Li Shishi is indeed a wonderful person. She likes you, my lord, as well as her." Good luck! I’d better tell you! Miss Li left Bianliang a few days ago and went directly to Hangzhou. After bringing her to me, she revealed her identity, saying that she had left Leji and went to Hangzhou alone, so I placed her in the Hangzhou Escort Bureau. Before leaving, Miss Li wrote this letter Please let me forward the letter to you! My lord is really a genius! Such a girl will never forget you, I admire you! Admire!"

The black lines on Xu Yi's forehead are all over the place!This Li Shishi is also strange, he is just a passer-by, and the two of them only met once, so what?Actually ran to Hangzhou to find me, didn't he plagiarize two poems?Is it worth it?
"Okay! This matter is not what you imagined. Since you have arranged it, this woman can be regarded as an unlucky girl. You just arrange it. I don't have time to take care of her right now. I am afraid that Jin Bing will send troops in the next few days." It’s over, we’d better get busy with business!” Xu Yi shook his head, putting this matter aside for the time being.

Not long after Xue Tu arrived, Li Bo led his people to the place. When they saw Xu Yi, Xu Yi immediately brought him into the house and asked in detail about what happened in Bianliang City. Li Bo then He recounted to Xu Yi in detail what he had seen and heard in Bianliang, and Xu Yi was relieved a lot. These days, he has been paying attention to the news of Bianliang City, and now he sees After Li Bo, knowing that Zhao Xu was not in danger and had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he finally felt at ease. Yes, Xu Yi has always regarded him as a close friend, so he is very concerned about Zhao Xu. Now he only hopes that history will not repeat itself in Zhao Xu's hands, and Zhao Xu will not become like Zhao Gou who will only run away. The escaped emperor, the civilization of the Song Dynasty can continue to flourish in his hands.

Xu Yi also told Li Bo the details of the battle here. Upon hearing this, Li Bo immediately asked for orders to go to Fuzhou City, hoping to help Yang Zaixing. Xu Yi nodded and agreed. Although Li Bo didn't have many people on hand, but These people can play a huge role at critical times, and their combat thinking is much ahead of this era!And the big cow beside him was also eager to try, watching Li Bo pouted, his eyes blinked and blinked!

Xu Yi has already seen Daniel's mind. Daniel has now fully grown into an adult. Where he stands, he is more than 1.8 meters tall. General Tiger, it's a pity to put such a person by my side as a bodyguard. If a man wants to make contributions in front of the battle, Xu Yi already had the idea of ​​letting Daniel go out to practice, so he smiled at Daniel: "Don't wink! Yes, I have understood your thoughts a long time ago! This time you and your brother Li Bo will go to Fuzhou together, report to Zaixing, just say what I said, let him give you a headache, if you can’t do it Alright, just get back on your own, don’t embarrass me anywhere, if you do well, I’ll keep you in the infantry as a commander! Whether you can make contributions or not, it’s up to you in the future!”

Daniu was overjoyed when he heard this. It's not that he felt bored staying by Xu Yi's side, but he felt that now that he had mastered his kung fu, he followed Xu Yi's usual book of war strategies, and he wanted to help Xu Yi more. Now Xu Yi explained his thoughts clearly, and released him to fight. Daniel immediately knelt down, kowtowed heavily to Xu Yi several times, and said naively: "Don't worry, my lord! Daniel will not Those who have lost their lord!"

Xu Yi pulled Daniel up from the ground, and patted him on the shoulder. Daniel had been with him for so long, and he wanted to leave suddenly. Said: "The two armies have no eyes in front of the battle. You must learn to protect yourself and not act recklessly. You already know what a good general should do! Sometimes fighting is not all about bravery. Use your head to think about problems. ! And! Don’t disrespect orders just because you are someone close to me! Do you remember everything?”

Daniel nodded vigorously, his thick lips trembled a few times, but he didn't say anything, Xu Yi patted him on the shoulder again, expressing that he knew what he wanted to say, and Daniel stepped aside.

After looking at Hou Cheng, the flower monkey, Li Bo walked up to Hou Cheng and looked him up and down. After being punched in the chest, Hou Cheng didn't move at all, and he still smiled at him as if nothing had happened. Then Li Bo said to Hou Cheng: "Brother Hou! I will leave the safety of the lord to you!"

Hou Cheng has recovered now. After going through this ordeal, not only has his kung fu not diminished, but he has been blessed by misfortune, and he has achieved a great internal force. He usually looks harmless to humans and animals, but when he really starts to fight, Even Li Bo was very afraid of him. Now that Cui Yan died for Xu Yi, Hou Cheng politely rejected Xu Yi's arrangement for him, took the initiative to stay, and took Cui Yan's position by Xu Yi's side. Without Li Bo, the entire bodyguard team He was in charge. After listening to Li Bo's instructions, Hou Cheng bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, with Hou Cheng here, the mosquitoes don't even think about biting our lord!"

Just as Li Bo and Daniu packed up their things, escorted a batch of supplies to Fuzhou City, and were about to go on the road, another batch of ships arrived at Dalian Port, and Xu Yi asked them to wait a while. There is something to send to Fuzhou City!
So everyone went to the pier that was being expanded, and saw the Fubo military flag flying on the ships from a distance. Looking at the ships again, Xu Yi's eyes lit up and said: "The fleet from Liuqiu Island has arrived!"

As expected by Xu Yi, as soon as the first boat landed, Wang Feng strode down the gangplank. Xu Yi immediately greeted him with a smile. Wang Feng bowed his head and was pulled up by Xu Yi.

"Good boy, you are not slow! I thought you would not be able to keep up with this battle!" Xu Yi immediately smiled at Wang Feng.

"My lord! After we parted ways in Wa that day, Beizhi and Brother Kong didn't dare to delay for a moment. They immediately loaded up the goods on Tanegashima and headed south all the way. Because they ran for a while and didn't encounter any big storms on the way, they walked very quickly. It went well, and fortunately there was a favorable wind, and I hurried back to Liuqiu Island all the way. As soon as Beizhi arrived at Jilongzhai, he saw that Jilongzhai had already started to prepare supplies, so he unloaded the boat and immediately set off to Danshui Basically, without any delay, I packed up supplies and horses, and rushed here day and night, and now it is south wind, so I walked very fast, as long as I catch up with the big battle, then I have nothing to regret!" Wang Feng Said to Xu Yi with a tired look on his face.

Xu Yi looked at his face and said with a smile: "I guess you can't go, I think you'd better rest here honestly! There are Zaixing and them in Fuzhou City, that's enough! I don't want to see you tired Next! By the way, where is Kong Qingxi? Why didn't you see him coming?"

When Wang Feng heard that Xu Yi refused to let him go to the war, he expressed his dissatisfaction with a dejected face, but he was still very grateful to Xu Yi for being so considerate of himself. To pick up the subordinates from Guangzhou, it is estimated that they should arrive in these two days!"

While talking, the boats in the fleet approached the pier one by one, and a large number of people disembarked from the boats to the pier, and suddenly there was a commotion on the pier. Most of the few familiar faces are the soldiers who stayed behind in Danshui Village, and even the occupying tent who stayed behind in Danshui Village came here together. It seems that this time the Fubo Army really came out in full force!
But at this moment, Xu Yi suddenly saw a beautiful figure appearing on the side of Wang Feng's boat, walking down the gangway slowly, Xu Yi's eyes straightened instantly!

Wang Feng then said with a sneer: "My lord, I didn't deliberately hide this from you. It's because Madam forced me not to tell you first. You can't blame me!"

How could Xu Yi have the time to pursue Wang Feng at this moment? He rushed to the side of the boat in two quick steps, stretched out his hand to catch a catkin stretched out by the beauty, and said in a trembling voice. : "Qian'er! Why are you here too?"

It turned out that it was Princess Yiqing who got off the boat, but few people knew her identity. Xu Yi never thought that Yiqing would come here with the fleet this time, which was beyond his expectations.

There were tears in Yiqing's beautiful eyes, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth. She stepped down from the diving board, and stood gracefully in front of Xu Yi, forcibly restraining her desire to cry and throw herself into Xu Yi's arms , gave Xu Yi a blessing, and said in a trembling and crisp voice: "I have seen the officials before, and this time I am here, entrusted by my sister, to visit the officials and take care of them. daily life!"

Xu Yi is dizzy!This place will soon become a battlefield, but I didn't expect Yiqing to come running over. I want to say no, Yiqing has come all the way, and he really misses them in his heart. Now that he sees them, of course he won't Saying no, I just want to hug her into my arms to comfort her, but after all, this place is in public, he must pay attention to the influence, so he can only pinch Yiqing's little hand and cough Said: "It's good if you come, it's good if you come!" After saying this sentence, he didn't know what to say next.

"See the second lady for the humble job!" Li Bo and others also saw Yiqing, so they hurried over to greet them, and Yiqing hurriedly returned the salute to them, asking them to stand up and talk.

Seeing the noise of people on the pier, Xu Yi whispered to Yiqing, "Go down and have a rest first, and I'll go over to accompany you when I'm done with the matter!"

Yiqing also knew that this was not a place to talk, and with so many people coming this time, Xu Yi always had to deal with it first, so she obediently followed Daniel and temporarily went to Xu Yi's residence to rest.

The pier was busy, and a large number of soldiers and supplies needed someone to arrange unloading, but Xu Yi didn't need to do these things with so many people under his command, so he took Wang Feng and others to his big tent I sat down inside and asked about their preparations this time.

Wang Feng reported to Xu Yi: "My lord, after hearing the news that the Jin people attacked our Great Song Dynasty, the brothers on Liuqiu Island have already started to prepare. Many people on our island are from the north, so the applicants were very enthusiastic. In just one month, more than 8000 young adults were recruited. After screening, [-] people remained. The drill was directly transferred to the infantry, and was handed over to the instructors of the infantry for another drill, which was basically usable!

A few days ago, as soon as they received the order from their lord, they began to send troops here. This time, in addition to the 1 generals who stayed on the island, the young army from Danshui Village and the [-] soldiers who made the tent The elephant soldiers and the [-] fine cavalry left behind by the Khitan, and the [-] Khitan cavalry recruited this time, brought in a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses. This is already the largest force that Liuqiu Island can mobilize!
As for supplies, this time, Beizhi brought a lot of good things from Jilongzhai, Danshuizhai and even Huanshuiwan. Except for food, most of the other items are weapons and armor. Afterwards, after the ship is unloaded tomorrow, the lord will be able to see it, it's so tight!Among them are a large number of swords, guns and shields made of fine steel, a large number of armors, more than ten thousand bows and crossbows, and countless arrows. There are a large number of iron-cast Leigong cannons and bronze Leigong cannons. The shells and gunpowder are sufficient, and Master Ren also made a very strange cannon called a blast cannon. I tried it humblely, God!That's quick!It really scared the hell out of me! "

After listening to Wang Feng's introduction, Xu Yi finally put his heart in his stomach. The Fubo Army is very different from other armies in that it relies far more on supplies and logistics than Jinren. In terms of material support, the Fubo army relies on firearms, which can be said to be almost invincible, but if the logistics support cannot keep up, then their combat effectiveness will never be much stronger than the Jinbing, and they will even be greatly lost to the Jinbing. For a few days, what he was most worried about was the problem of logistics support. It was too far away from the two important material bases of Liuqiu Island and Dulong Island. , Xu Yi has enough confidence!
"Okay! Well done! You came in time, just in time for our first battle with the Jinren! With these things, this time there will be something good for the Jinren, so I can rest assured !” Xu Yi said with a smile on his face.

Then Xu Yi turned to Zhizhipeng again. This Zhizhipeng can be regarded as a different kind of Fubo army. When he came here this time, Xu Yi naturally wanted to pay attention to him, so he smiled and asked him: "Zhipeng! You and Are your subordinates used to being on Liuqiu Island? How is your war elephant army doing now?"

Zhizhipeng stayed in Liuqiu Island for so long, and his Chinese level is quite good, so he quickly got up and replied in very standard Chinese: "Thank you for your concern, my lord, my lord let me stay in Liuqiu Island, and we will be reborn with kindness, humble and humble." The subordinates are very grateful. Now there are more than 200 war elephants that have undergone rigorous training. After the training of the method taught by the lord, they are not so easy to be frightened. To repay the great kindness of the lord!"
