Great Song Pirate

Chapter 665
Zhao Xu was having a headache about this matter at the moment. After hearing Li Gang say two things, he suddenly stopped and refused to continue, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay to say, Mr. Li, there are only you and me here, what's the matter?" Just say it!"

Li Gang cleared his throat, and said cautiously: "From the day Xu Yi first rose up in the sea, he did not wantonly oppose the imperial court, but gradually occupied a large island called Liuqiu in the southeast sea, and Liuqiu was originally The enclave on the sea, where he is entrenched, is now implicitly regarded as a prince, not under the jurisdiction of the court, and now the relationship between the Holy One and him is deadlocked, it might as well be more magnanimous, and make him the king of Liuqiu, and he is regarded as a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. Let him manage Liuqiu by himself, as long as he accepts this title, it will be a good thing for Da Song and him, this..."

"Feng Wang?..." Zhao Xu suddenly said in astonishment, interrupting Li Gang's words.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Li Gang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and begged again.

Zhao Xu's mind became a little confused again. Since the founding of the country by the Taizu, the Great Song Dynasty has always pursued a policy of restricting the rights of soldiers. The fear is that there will be a lot of local warlords, which will eventually lead to the loss of power and the inability to control the generals. Eventually, the princes will be separated and eventually subverted When national affairs arise, if Xu Yi is enfeoffed as king as Li Gang said, and he is allowed to establish a country, will it cause a chain reaction?Now is the time for the Song Dynasty to use troops. People like Zong Ze, Zhong Shidao, and Zhang Shuye all have military power in their hands, will they...

Within two days, all places received news from Bianliang. The official Zhao Xu ordered the coastal states to open their ports and not to ban the ships of the Fubo Army. At the same time, the government of Haizhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou and other places were ordered , Conquer the ships of the sea merchants, load the armor, materials, grain and other things prepared in the treasury, and transfer them to the east of Liaodong.

At the same time, Lu Cheng was relieved of his guilt, and he was promoted to the governor of Jiaodong. At the same time, he issued an order to order the northern armies to step up preparations for war, and the southern roads to step up the transfer of supplies, money and food to the north, and the entire Song Dynasty began to move again.

After the news spread, the hearts of the people in the Song Dynasty were cheered up. The rumors that the Holy Majesty killed Xu Yi, which was still raging before, soon began to fade. Although some people talked about it from time to time, the corresponding people were Much less, after all, the imperial court supported the Fubo army with great fanfare this time, which made people feel a bit abrupt, but it was always much better than the previous situation.

In the barracks in the north of Xiangzhou City, there was a sound of shouting and killing. Thousands of soldiers were lined up neatly. Under the leadership of a general, they were vigorously conducting drills. Although their armor looked simple and even shabby, their morale was very high. soaring.

A general with a square face stood beside this general with a face like a jade crown, watching the army follow the general's command flag, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, he said with a smile: "Brother Yue should be satisfied now! I have finally come to my senses!" It turned out that the person who spoke was Yue Fei's brother named Wang Gui, and now he is also serving under Yue Fei's command under Xiangzhou Zongze.

And this general is none other than Yue Fei Yue Pengju, who is already Zongze's number one general at this time. He is the former commander of the army in name, but in fact the 5000 people under his command are already Zongwang's main force. At the same time, Wang Yan's 3 soldiers and horses were also stationed in Xiangzhou, which were also regarded as elite. In addition, Zongze had more than [-] village warriors, who were organized into several soldiers and horses, and he appointed generals to lead them. There was extensive military training near Xiangzhou.

Some time ago, Yue Fei was very bored. After the peace talks between Song and Jin Dynasties, they watched Wanyan Zongwang lead his army back, but they were not allowed to pursue them. He turned against Xu Yi, the commander of the Fubo Army, and even sent troops to ambush Xu Yi on the road. Yue Fei was so angry that he almost wanted to go home, or simply ran to the beach and took a boat to find the Fubo Army. Under the consolation of Zong Ze and many subordinates, Yue Fei did not do such impulsive things.

Soon I heard that there was a black tiger army that suddenly played the banner of supporting the Fubo army, and attacked the Jin people in the area north of Xiangzhou, and even went as far as the Zhending Mansion area, killing hundreds of Jin soldiers. The ambition of the army, but he didn't expect Zongze to get the government's order, so that the Hebei Army could not help the Black Tiger Army but also chased and suppressed the Black Tiger Army.

This made Yue Fei almost go home the second time. In the end, Zhang Xian secretly gave him an idea, so he stayed in the army and personally led the army to chase the Black Tiger Army. As a result, Yue Fei soon led his own army. Under his command, those who had lost their helmets and armor ran back, and the guy was thrown away by the Black Tiger Army. When he came back, he told Zong Ze that he could not beat the Black Tiger Army, and he was defeated and ran back.

In fact, Zong Ze didn't know that Yue Fei was so flamboyant. Although he was a little angry, he didn't punish Yue Fei. He had known Yue Fei for so long, and he knew that Yue Fei was not only a fierce general, but also a rare wise general. The picture shows the formation of troops according to the scriptures, but this Yue Fei, despite his young age, is very resourceful, good at making surprise troops, and also good at fighting tough battles, but he is somewhat headstrong, but those who are capable have such virtues, This time, without asking, he knew that Yue Fei sympathized with both the Fubo Army and the Black Tiger Army. Although he could not send troops to attack Zhending Mansion, he sent a batch of armor to the Black Tiger Army in disguise.

Zong Ze naturally wouldn't pursue Yue Fei for such a thing, but fined him three months' salary as a punishment. He didn't expect that Yue Fei would do such a thing, and Wang Yan would follow him once, and an army of [-] went out to chase and suppress the gangsters. The Tiger Army, within three days, basically ran back with nothing. They threw away all the things that could be thrown to the Black Tiger Army. Zong Ze was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. It took a lot of effort to steal and sell private salt, in order to turn around and resist the Jin army, but in less than ten days, he was completely defeated by his two generals!

However, since there are lessons learned from the past, Zong Ze has nothing to do with Wang Yan, and fines him half a year's official salary. The attitude changed, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask for the owed armor, and re-arm Yue Fei's former army and Wang Yan's soldiers, otherwise, the two strongest armies under his command would be disarmed!
In fact, Zong Ze, like Yue Fei, Wang Yan, and other generals, were quite critical of Zhao Xu's peace negotiation with Jin Guo this time. He asked Zhao Xu not to negotiate peace with Jin Guo many times. I know that the Jin people are more uncomfortable than them when the Fubo army is doing this in Liaodong. In fact, the Jin people are at the end of their battles at this level. In the end, it depends on who can persist for a long time. The Jin people are dead. One, but if the Song people die one, five or ten will come. As long as they persist and stop the Jin soldiers from crossing the river, the Jin country will be brought down sooner or later!
But in the end Zhao Xu still signed the contract with the Jinren, which disappointed Zongze. However, Zhao Xu was still the emperor, and he had nothing to do. After sighing, he felt that after Zhao Xu became the emperor, he changed his appearance, began to be afraid of things, and began to feel sick.

Later, when I heard that Zhao Xu forbade Da Song to support the Fubo Army, he sighed even more, and wrote a letter to explain his mistake in doing so. In addition, he heard that Zhao Xu had turned against Xu Yi and almost killed Xu Yi, which scared Zong Ze. Jump, he has been worried for a long time that if the Holy Majesty does this, Xu Yi will be forced to turn against him, and Da Song will be in danger by then.

Now after the New Year, I heard that the Holy Majesty suddenly changed his attitude. He not only recruited supplies and transported them to Liaodong, but also vigorously recruited supplies and soldiers to Hebei to support his army on the Hebei Road. , Prepare for the spring counteroffensive.

This time Zongze became interested again, and began to work nervously.

Yue Fei also swept away his depression, and began to cheer up again, received his equipment again, added a batch of recruits, and started intense training!
"Wang Gui, how is your white army training now? If you have time to talk to me here, you might as well go and train your soldiers and horses. You know, after the beginning of spring, our battle will be fought. It must be the first target we want to win, hurry up!" Yue Fei turned his head and said to Wang Gui after handing the Lingqi to Zhang Xian.

Wang Gui hurriedly replied: "Brother Yue, don't worry, the White Army is not a coward, each of them is alive and well, waiting to send troops! It's just that the number of bows and crossbows is not enough right now, so I came here to find you, Brother Yue. Think of a way, give us some more bows and crossbows!"

Yue Fei spread his hands and said: "No! I don't have either! Last time we lost all our things to the Black Tiger Army. These guys just got it from Mr. Zong, but don't worry, the officials are now actively dispatching When the supplies come, we should be able to re-allocate our armor soon, and we don't have much time left! Let's have a good fight this time, and feel proud of our Song Army. Don't let the Fubo Army take credit for it! It was stolen!"

"Young general obeys! Hehe! Don't worry! I'll go back and train these guys!" After listening to Yue Fei's words, Wang Gui felt relieved and ran back to his team excitedly.

Yue Fei raised his eyes and looked to the north, and said in an inaudible voice: "Xu Yi! Fubo Army! When can I, Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, see your majesty? Who is that Mr. Xu that Yun'er often talks about? What?" Yue Fei suddenly took out an exquisitely shaped object from his bosom, and played with it in his hands. This object was given to him by his son Yue Yun, who said that a young master surnamed Xu passed by Tangyin back then. At that time, he made a special trip to his house to give it to Yue Yun, and he took good care of his Yue family. No matter how Yue Fei felt that this Mr. Xu who had made a special trip to his house seemed to have some kind of connection with this Mr. Xu of the Fubo Army, but It was too late to be confirmed.

I saw that in his hand was a compass that was only available hundreds of years later. Yue Fei led his troops to deal with the golden soldiers in the mountains some time ago, and this object helped him a lot!I got lost in the mountains several times, but I got out of the mountains by relying on this compass.

At the same time that Zhao Xu issued an order to open the coastal ports to the Fubo army and transfer supplies to Liaodong, he also sent someone to invite Chen Dong, who was punished by himself to shut himself up at home, into the palace to have an audience, and summoned him alone in the Chaohe Hall. Afterwards, Chen Dong secretly left Tokyo Bianliang again, took a few guards, and headed towards Haizhou in light clothes.

Xu Yi quickly learned about Da Song's situation through Shui Sheng's intelligence network in Liaodong, and his mood was finally relieved. No matter what, although Zhao Xu was sorry for himself, he was still much better than his father in terms of governing the country. Yes, at least he can come to his senses and realize where he was wrong. Now he has changed his attitude, reopened the port, and resupplied the Fubo Army. People do so many things.

After more than a month, the defense situation in Liaodong has become much tighter. Although it is freezing here, with sufficient food supply, the people of Liaodong are still very stable, and everywhere is stepping up military training and defense. Getting better step by step.

There was also news from Koryo that Sun Hai led the fleet to the sea outside Kaijing, relying on the strong ships and guns of their Fubo army, they beat the Koryo navy there to nothing. This caused the loss of more than half of the Korean navy assembled at the wharf outside Kaijing, and only a small part escaped to heaven and went to other places. Sun Hai led the army to attack the port, bombarded the Korean army near the wharf, and used the limited number of gods on board The cannon slammed at Kaijing City. Although the damage caused was not large, it frightened the Koreans!

Li Ziqian, the Prime Minister of Korea, was so frightened that he took his family with him, escaped from Kaijing City, and went to Chungju Prefecture in the hinterland of Korea to seek refuge!
And soon there was news from Kyushu Island that Takeuchi led the Fuba servant army to sail out to sea, crossed the Tsushima Strait, and first invaded Tamna County (Jeju Island) in Korea, where they first ignited The beacon fire that attacked Goryeo, the guards of Tamna County who were caught off guard, were defeated by the aggressive Takeuchi Army. As a result, Tamna County was plundered by Takeuchi's army, and immediately after that, they raised troops and invaded Goryeo. Jeonla State at the southeastern tip, and started their wanton raids along the coast!
This time Koryo is busy. On the one hand, the furious revenge from the Fubo Army fleet from the sea, they were beaten to the point of being helpless. Helping the ruthless, launched a large-scale attack on their Koryo country, let them focus on one thing and lose another, and they are so busy, how can they have the energy to follow the Jinren as a dog's leg to attack the Fubo army in Liaodong!

Not long after Xu Yi's poisonous tongue was really caught, many people in the Koryo army had already hated Li Ziqian's perverse actions, so some people in the army invited Pu Yinjian who was idle at home, and asked Pu Yinjian to come forward and colluded with a group of generals. Sneaking into the city of Zhongzhou Prefecture, one night, he suddenly attacked Li Ziqian's mansion and chopped Li Ziqian into a pulp in one fell swoop.

After killing Li Ziqian, Pu Yinjian immediately returned to Kaijing, mobilized troops, and carried out a big purge in Kaijing, taking down all the party members under Li Ziqian and returning the royal power to the young master.

Xu Yi at least feels more at ease with Goryo now, and he no longer has to worry about what will happen to Goryo in a short time!

When the warm wind blows in the south of the Yangtze River, the north is still a frozen landscape. The severe winter is showing its last power. There is a heavy snowfall in Liaodong, which makes all kinds of things here have to stop. Xu Yi He was really exhausted, so he had no choice but to go back to Dalian Port and take a rest. During this time, he braved the severe cold and traveled the entire Liaodong area, inspecting the situation of the soldiers and civilians here, while appeasing the hearts of the people. Guarantee that he will never give up Liaodong, and will advance and retreat here with the people of Liaodong, which will stabilize the hearts of the people of Liaodong. The new and old subordinates here cheered up, boosted their morale, and paid them generous salaries. I wonder why these people followed him!Isn't it just to get ahead one day and earn a piece of property for yourself?

Sometimes personal charm alone is not enough, and money is something that must be paid. This is not the time to save money, not to mention that Fu Bojun has bulging pockets in the past few years, and the worst thing is money. It's a thing, so Xu Yi is not stingy, and the rewards for his soldiers are also extremely generous, and he guarantees that their family members on Liuqiu Island will also receive preferential treatment, and that they will be taken care of when they are not at home. The generous rewards and the combination of several measures, needless to say, the morale of the Liaodong Army is so high that they can't wait for the spring to start, and they will fight Jin Guo again.

After the Chinese New Year, there were still some floating ice floes on the sea, which caused some troubles for ships transporting supplies. Fortunately, although the weather was cold, the sea had not completely frozen in this era, and it did not cause too much difficulty for the Fubo Army. The navigation can still be guaranteed, otherwise, Liaodong may really become an isolated place.

Xu Yi stretched his body, sat in the warm room, drank two cups with Xue Tu, and felt much more relaxed than when he just came back from the south years ago, although he knew that such leisure time would not last long Time, after the beginning of spring, there will be a large-scale fight with a large number of golden soldiers, but it is useless to worry at this time, it is better to take a break from the busy schedule and enjoy life.

So Xu Yi saw that he couldn't travel, so he simply took a big vacation for himself, took a good rest for a while to replenish his physical strength, and at the same time rested his nerves that had been tense for a long time.

But God seemed to be trying to make things difficult for him on purpose, but before he could enjoy his leisure time for two days, he made trouble for him again.

"My lord, General Sun's fleet from Hong Kong has sent a boat back, and it has entered the port now, saying that there are Korean envoys coming with the boat to see the lord!" Hou Cheng came in from the outside with a snowflake on his head, and said to Xu Yi reported.

"Oh? Hehe! It's almost time, the Koreans should come to beg us now! Hehe! Leave him alone, let the soldiers on the ship disembark to warm up, have a good rest, find a place for the Koreans, first It’s good to let them hang out for two days, and let them know that if you offend us, it’s not easy for us to think about it!” Xu Yi sat on the kang and didn’t get up at all. Let's talk about the envoy once he gets off his horse!

After Hou Cheng got the order, he immediately turned around and walked out with a wicked smile on his face, Xue Tu also laughed along with him.

Although Park Yinjian reiterated that he is Xu Yi's old friend, when he arrived in Dalian Port, he was still thrown into a broken house by Fu Bojun. In such a cold day, the broken house had air leaks from all sides and was freezing. Pu Yinjian and his gang were trembling, they couldn't sleep, they didn't even have a kang, and they would be frozen if they lay down, so they had to build a fire, and everyone gathered around the bonfire to keep warm.

Pu Yinjian didn't expect to come here and be so embarrassed. He knew that Li Ziqian had offended Xu Yi this time, otherwise, his pedestrians wouldn't be tossed about like this, so he repeatedly asked the soldiers in charge of them to reiterate, My name is Pu Yinjian, and I was a friend of Xu Yi's early years. Please let them know!And secretly stuffed a lot of money into the other party!
It turned out that the money was finally handed over to Hou Cheng, and Hou Cheng used it to buy wine for the guards, but Park Yinjian's words still failed to reach Xu Yi's ears. The reply to Pu Yinjian was that the lord was not here. On the way back, the conditions here are limited, let them bear with it!

Just like this, Pu Yinjian and his party were thrown into the broken house by Fu Bojun and frozen for almost two days. It was really miserable, but they dared not speak out. Who made them come to beg now?Pu Yinjian couldn't laugh or cry, he could only sit around the campfire to keep warm every day.

It wasn't until Xu Yi remembered them that Hou Cheng brought them into his warm tent. When he saw Pu Yinjian's bitter face, Xu Yi was also taken aback and almost didn't laugh. It was actually Pu Yinjian who got along with him, and no one told him!It seems that these guys are deliberately tossing Park Yinjian and the others!I secretly became happy in my heart.

"Oh! Why did General Park come here in person? You guys too! General Park didn't send someone to notify me immediately when he came here, so I can come back sooner!" Xu Yi immediately shouted when he saw Pu Yinjian He greeted them with a smile, and at the same time reprimanded Hou Cheng's guards hypocritically, pretending to be sorry.

Pu Yinjian cupped his fists and saluted Xu Yi with a wry smile, "Master Xu doesn't have to be so polite! The past two days have really froze Park!"

Xu Yi was so happy, he secretly thought in his heart that he deserved it, who made you gangsters provoke me?This is also a lesson that should be taught to you!
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xu Yi asked Pu Yinjian to sit down, pretending to be confused, and asked, "It's so cold, I don't know why General Park ran to a place like me where birds don't lay eggs in the wind and snow? Could it be possible?" I haven’t seen enough of the snowy scenery in Koryo, do you want to visit Liaodong again?”
