Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"You woke me up so early in the morning just to watch me?"

Chu Mo pointed at the group of dilapidated fishing boats on the sea and asked Li Junxian.

Li Junxian shrank his neck, and finally looked at the warrior Xun standing aside for help.

The warrior Yu sighed, and finally had to stand up again:

"Sir, you don't think those are the fishermen around here, do you?"

"Not a fisherman? Could it be that he is still a pirate?"

Chu Mo asked angrily.

"Sir, those are neither fishermen nor pirates, they are the regular army of Zhenla Kingdom."

"This is also called a regular army? Are you kidding?"

Chu Mo asked in disbelief.

Warrior Xun nodded and said with great certainty:

"Sir, this is indeed Zhenla's army. Look at those fishing boats, all of them are soldiers in armor, and the flag on the flagship is also officially owned by Zhenla."

After hearing what the warrior Yu said, Chu Mo started to observe carefully.

Sure enough, as the other party said, although the number of soldiers on the fishing boat was small, they were all wearing bright armor. They were obviously not ordinary fishermen.

"They surrounded us. Have they sent anyone to contact us?"

"There hasn't been any movement yet. It's been half an hour since they surrounded us. Not only has no one come to contact us, but they haven't even made the most basic announcement. They probably just don't want us to dock."

Li Junxian hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

"Don't you want us to get closer? Haha..."

Chu Mo muttered to himself, then focused his gaze on Li Junxian and said:

"Li Junxian obeys the order."

"The end is here!"

"I order you now to hoist our flag, teach these pirates who harass us a lesson, and seize the dock ahead as soon as possible. We must go ashore to help the local people suppress the bandits."

Li Junxian was stunned when he heard this:

"Sir, that is Zhenla's army. If we take the initiative to attack, it may cause a diplomatic incident."

Chu Mo looked at Li Junxian dissatisfied, wondering why he had brought such a stupid person.

When the warrior Yu on the side saw this, he immediately stopped Li Junxian who wanted to say more and cursed:

"Which of your eyes saw that they are Zhenla's army?"

"If it is really Zhenla's army, then why don't they send someone to receive us after we have been here for so long."

"Besides, the adults have said that they are pirates, so they are pirates."

Li Junxian also reacted immediately:

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right, then the general will immediately arrange manpower to prepare to suppress the bandits."

"and many more."

Chu Mo stopped Li Junxian:

"We know they are pirates, so do you know what flag we want to fly?"

"Aren't you flying your handsome flag?"

Sure enough, this guy. . .

Chu Mo was unable to complain and looked directly at Samurai Yu.

Warrior Xun understood immediately, turned around and said to Li Junxian very seriously:

"We are now on a mission to foreign countries on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. How can we fly your own flag? If we do, it will be the flag of our Tang Dynasty."

"Hang the flag of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Junxian is just dull and doesn't have so many twists and turns, but he is not really stupid.

Chu Mo's purpose was entirely to make Datang take the blame.

Although he understood in his heart, he was not stupid enough to tell the matter directly.

After giving Chu Mo a complicated look, he bowed and went to make arrangements for "bandit suppression".

Soon, Li Junxian hoisted the flag of the Tang Dynasty and sent two three-story ships, five two-story ships, and ten ordinary warships towards the opposite dock.

As soon as King Bafa Varman of Chenla got up in the morning, he heard officials reporting that an extremely large fleet had appeared on the seashore.

It's just that the opponent is only close to the sea and has no intention of launching an attack.

So he ordered all surrounding ships to be concentrated first to prevent the enemy from launching a sudden attack. At the same time, he tried every means to find out who belonged to this fleet and the opponent's purpose this time.

Just after the order was issued, he received another report saying that the opponent was Datang's fleet and was already preparing to launch an attack.

Before he could think of a response strategy, he heard several roars in the distance.

Not long after, several soldiers with gray faces and embarrassed voices rushed in:

"Your Majesty, it's not good. The Tang army has broken through our coastal defenses and has begun to land. You should run away quickly."

Before Bafavarman could figure out the situation, he was picked up by a group of guards and started running wildly outside.

Li Junxian commanded the fleet and dispersed the fishing boats wandering around the fleet with just one look. Then he bombed the flagship with one shot and a building on the pier with another shot.

Since then, the battle has ended. Seeing the ferocity of the Tang army, the surrounding Zhenla army turned around and fled.

In less than a moment of burning incense, all the fishing boats that were originally floating on the river disappeared.

As for the officers and soldiers on the dock who were ready to go, they didn't even care about their weapons and equipment and fled without looking back.

Li Junxian, who originally wanted to show off his skills in front of Chu Mo, was dumbfounded.

Does this count as the enemy fleeing?

However, before he could continue to be in a daze, Chu Mo had already ordered the fleet to dock for rest and begin landing.

After Bafa Varman was helped by the guards to escape from the palace, before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a large group of officials surrounding him and began to suggest that he should flee to Nanzhao for refuge.

Bafa Varman, who was upset by the officials' noise, finally couldn't bear it anymore and angrily shouted:

"What's going on at the front now? Are they the army of the Tang Dynasty?"

The officials looked at me and I looked at you. No one could answer Bafavarman's question.

At this time, a group of hurried and disheveled soldiers escaped from a distance. Seeing so many people surrounding them, they hurriedly spoke to persuade:

"Why are you still here? Why don't you run away quickly? The Tang army has already landed. I heard that they are massacring the city from the front."

Hearing this, Bafa Varman's heart instantly sank to the bottom. Finally, he stopped insisting and immediately ordered to flee to Nanzhao Kingdom.

He also ordered the ministers to draft an edict, and he wanted to send envoys to Chang'an to protest.

At the same time, Chu Mo's fleet had already docked.

Samurai Yu immediately wanted to send a large number of people into the market to purchase supplies.

However, in the rush to come out this time, all the ships carrying supplies and property were left in Leizhou City. If you want to purchase supplies for such a large fleet, the cost is not small.

Although he still has a banknote on him, that thing is useful in the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty, who would know this thing.

In desperation, he could only throw this problem to Chu Mo.
