Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

A group of military officers led by Captain Zuo patrolled the surroundings.

Half an hour later, many prey came back.

Due to the inaccessibility of people, Dongting Lake is not only a world of water thieves, but also a paradise for wild animals.

After walking a few steps, a rabbit jumped out. Looking up, a large herd of deer was grazing with their heads down.

Life in the Yuezhou government barracks was not very good, even with Liu Bai's support, it could only be said that it was similar to the soldiers in other places.

Most of the military expenditure of the imperial court was given to the twelve guards, and a small half was given to the frontier army.

The number of government soldiers in the world is more than ten times that of the twelve guards and frontier troops, but the money allocated to them by the imperial court is less than a cent.

In relatively remote places like Jiannan Road, the Fubing camp even had to be self-sufficient.

It was a rare opportunity to eat meat, Captain Zuo and the others naturally refused to let it go.

Back at the temporary camp, Colonel Zuo carried a roasted rabbit into the tent of the Chinese army.

He is the highest officer here, but he is not qualified to live in the Chinese military camp.

The person who lives here is a man who seems to be doing nothing.

Liu Er!

Of course Captain Zuo had known him for a long time.

In fact, Zuo Xiaowei, who used to be the second-in-command of Yuezhou government soldiers and is now the first-in-command, knew almost all the water thief leaders and bandit leaders in Yuezhou!

Once upon a time, this bandit leader who he looked down upon had now become an existence that made him unattainable.

This guy can be said to be the luckiest person in Yuezhou.

He robbed the owner of the Liu family on the way, but he still got it in his pocket?

Who to talk to?

With a humble smile on his face, Captain Zuo put the roasted rabbit on the low table in front of Liu Er.

"Second Lord, take your time, it's a pity that there is no wine in the army, otherwise the general will drink three hundred cups with you!"

Liu Er raised his eyelids.

He is no longer the bandit leader he once was.

Taiji's training is extremely rigorous.

Although, other Taiji members have to go through at least half a year of training, but he only went through one month.

This is enough for him to fully grow.

He has already forgotten his former name, he only knows who he is loyal to.

At the same time, he is more aware that although his name 'Liu Er' is quite high in the ranking.

But in the Liu family, his status is counted backwards.

After all, Liu Da only entered Liu's house for less than half a year.

He urgently needs meritorious service to improve his status.

He also knows very well that he has many opportunities.

Taiji does not completely belong to the Liu family.

Half of the 'shares' are still in the hands of the emperor.

And at this moment, his identity is not a member of Taiji, but a servant of the Liu family.

"Old Zuo, you don't have to be polite with your brothers."

Liu Erpi said with a nonchalant smile.

Having spent many years in the territory of Yuezhou, even if he is a fool, he has heard that the school captains of the local government soldiers are not very good.

Except for Huang Xiaowei who had already handed in the nomination certificate, Liu Er didn't trust anyone.

"Second Master, what are you talking about? They are all on errands for the young master, why should they be so clearly distinguished?"

Captain Zuo said with a smile.

Liu Er sneered and said: "We call you young master appropriately, Captain Zuo is an official of the imperial court, my young master really can't afford it."

A trace of anger flashed in Zuo Xiaowei's eyes.

He and Liu Er once had a feud.

But due to Liu Er's current status, it's too late for him to curry favor, how dare he throw face at others?

"Second Master, please forgive me. Brother, I was ignorant at first, but now we can be regarded as grasshoppers on a rope. The last general must not treat you badly, otherwise I will not be able to explain when I go back."

Liu Er didn't want to embarrass him anymore.

If the business this time is delayed because of the entanglement between the two, no one will have good fruit to eat when they go back.

"Don't worry about eating. My young master asked me to help. If Captain Zuo has any orders, just speak up!"

Captain Zuo felt a little guilty, and looked at the two men in black robes sitting in the corner of the tent.

During this whole day, he still didn't know what the identities of the two men in black robes were, and he didn't even know what their parents looked like.

In fact, he can also guess about it.

Either they are from Taiji, or they are experts recruited by the Liu family in private.

Between the gestures of the two of them, there was a masterful demeanor.

Captain Zuo was also born on the battlefield, so his vision is not bad.

I secretly estimated in my heart that in the hands of these two people, I might not even be able to make it through a round.

He took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said: "Then you will be welcome, the young master once said that your people have been dormant in Dongting Lake. Although we know the topography inside, we don't know the exact distribution of water thieves."

Liu Er nodded.

As soon as he raised his hand, in the corner of the tent, one of the men in black suddenly threw something into his hand.

Liu Er pouted at the low table, Captain Zuo hurriedly removed the roasted rabbit.

The map was spread out on the table, and countless symbols were circled and dotted on it.

Captain Zuo's cheeks twitched as he watched.

He has been in the Yuezhou government army camp for six or seven years.

Over the years, he has sent people countless times to sneak into Dongting Lake and find out the specific situation of those water thieves.

The places where the water thieves are stationed are like a star dotted around.

For so many years, he was so stunned that he didn't even figure out [-]% of the situation.

How long has Liu Bai been in Yuezhou?

Looking at the situation in the picture, even the water thieves with 50 people have been investigated clearly!

With this picture, what could barely be called a 'war' became much simpler.

Although there are many water thieves, they are too fragmented.

There are a few dozens of people, and there are many people, but it is roughly equal to the number of government soldiers.

Make careful preparations and defeat them one by one without much casualties.

Hello, the equipment of the government soldiers is not comparable to that of the water thieves.

The only problem is that there are too few warships for Yuezhou government soldiers!

"Second Lord, our boat"

Captain Zuo didn't finish speaking.

There was a sudden noise outside.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow enveloped the entire camp.

Captain Zuo's expression changed.

Without being polite, he turned around and ran out.

When he saw a huge monster appearing on the shore of Dongting Lake, his eyeballs almost fell out.

"Five, five five teeth big ship!"

Chapter 1662 The Liu family really has everyone

If the five-tooth warship is compared to a cold weapon, then it is completely like the Modao among the swords and the eight-ox crossbow among the arrows.

In this era, it seems to be a deterrent weapon.

Back then, Yang Su destroyed a country in a daze with more than a dozen five-toothed warships.

After the former Sui Dynasty pacified the world, although there was no foolish decision not to enter the sea, there were also strict regulations on the use of private ships.

Over the past ten years, folk craftsmen have gradually withered.

As a result, even the imperial court couldn't build any good ships.

Weapons are updated very quickly.

Only warships have seen almost no development.

The black boat of the Liu family is already the pinnacle of craftsmanship in the world.

The shipyard in Lingnan has already dominated the world at the rate of building a warship every two months.

The five-toothed warship is an existence that no one can dream of.

Especially in Yuezhou, where the water system is developed, it is a colossus that people dare not even imagine.

To give a very simple example, if the water thief in Dongting Lake got a five-toothed ship.

The first thought is definitely not to sell for money.

Instead, rebel and become emperor!

It is conceivable that when the soldiers of the Yuezhou government saw the five-toothed ship lying on the shore, how shocked their hearts were.

Captain Zuo almost fainted.

Use the five-toothed ship to attack the water thieves?

Are you crazy?

Or is Liu Bai crazy?

The world is just too crazy.

In comparison, it seems so reasonable to use an eight-ox crossbow to bombard a chicken

After a brief silence, the soldiers burst into a burst of cheering and screaming.

Yuezhou has a well-developed water system, and this special geographical advantage has caused the local soldiers, well, to also train for water combat.

Anyone who lives on the water is all too aware of the horror of the five-toothed warship.

The copper-clad ram is strong enough to tear any ship into shreds with ease.

It can fully carry 5000 people, and any jumping gang battle can take advantage.

The archery holes on both sides are not prepared for ordinary bows and arrows.

This ship can hold hundreds of eight-ox crossbows!

Of course, Yuezhou Fubing didn't have that much stock.

However, that huge draft is enough for them to move the trebuchet up!

Restricted by the maneuverability of the ship, the effect of the trebuchet is no worse than that of the eight-ox crossbow when fighting on the water.

A tiger-like man came to the shore in a boat.

As soon as he got ashore, he shouted, "Tell your stewards to come out!"

Captain Zuo hurried over.

Regardless of whether the other party is an official or not, it is enough for him to treat the other party with the attitude of treating his own father.
