Through the fairy valley

With the final payment of 500 taels of gold from Gong Maoyun, after ten days of agreement to continue trading so many war horses, both Qian Ke and Gong Maoyun were very satisfied.

"Food still needs to be continued, and the quantity must be large. Will the trade of war horses affect the transportation of grain?" Gong Maoyun and Qian Kezuo asked other times.

"The new 100 million jin is almost here, King Ming is in a tight spot, we have to collect all the grain from the surrounding areas." Qian Ke told him nonsense.

"Isn't your son still doing food business in neighboring countries?" Gong Maoyun asked him casually.

Qian Ke shook his head, this kind of thing cannot be admitted to death.

"Of course not, otherwise, how could it be enough for Mr. Yun's 100 million stones!"

Gong Maoyun nodded satisfied after hearing the answer: "I think so, I will find a way to satisfy Mr. Qian as much as possible in terms of gold. My emperor has secretly ordered that all official silver should be mainly silver ingots and copper coins. They are all satisfactory to my transaction here, so there is no need for Mr. Qian to worry about gold."

Qian Ke listened and nodded: "Then thank you, young master."

Qian Ke and Gong Maoyun talked about everything properly, and King Ming, who had always claimed that he would go south in winter, finally started to make some moves.

At night, the battleships on the north bank of the Great River are brightly lit, and the sound of horns and drums can be heard endlessly.

"The whole army is on alert, send a signal, and the warships leave the port, and stand on guard along the boundary river." The commander issued an order.

Yun Luo was standing on a three-story large battleship, and standing on top of the building was You Jing, the 'General of Anbei' who was appointed by Emperor Yaoguo.

"Xiao Luo, what do you think of the other side?" General You Da's battleship was cruising close to the boundary river. There were no lights on the huge battleship, and it was as dark as a giant beast and quietly rowed across the river.

The medium-sized warships that came out of the Yaoguo navy camp also left the port one after another. The lanterns and torches on the warships illuminated the river, but compared with the Zhaoguo camp on the opposite side, the sparse fires here in Yaoguo and the flames of the Zhaojun that illuminated the night sky , that is like a bright moon compared to stars.

"The other side seems to be coming at any time, but the battleship didn't make any moves." Yun Luo looked at the bright fire of the opposite barracks, but the battleship never left the port.

"Zhao Kingdom's navy is weaker than my country's, and they dare to fight at night. This King Ming is really desperate." General You said disdainfully.

"I'm afraid that he will win by surprise. The navy on the other side has been training secretly. The spies sent by our army have failed several times. It is estimated that King Ming is training some tactics in secret. Otherwise, why is the navy training so mysterious? What!" The person who said this was the commander of Yaoguo's secret department, and several batches of his troops had been lost in the hands of King Ming. The situation of teacher training has been difficult to break through.

While everyone was talking, the fence of the Zhaoguo Naval Battalion was finally opened slowly, and dozens of small fast boats came out, quickly spreading out on the river.

Yun Luo gestured, and the giant battleship immediately turned around and entered the Yaoguo Navy camp.

The medium-sized battleship that had been staying behind took the opportunity to move forward to guard, and stopped at a position more than ten meters away from the boundary river.

The same is true for the small fast boat in Zhaoguo on the opposite side. Both sides looked at each other in the middle of the river, and neither dared to act without orders.

The night passed like this, but the sound of the war drums on the opposite side continued all night long.

The next night, this happened again.

Yun Luo stood on the tower and looked at the other side, and it was like this again. The drums were raised at the second watch, and they sailed at the third watch.

"What do you want to do on the other side? Let's talk about it." General Anbei You Jing summoned all the generals to analyze the situation of the battle.

"Are you lying to us? What will happen if we ignore it?" Yao Shilang, the military supervisor sent by Nandu, said hypothetically.

General You shook his head and denied: "Wars are all intrigues. If our army doesn't make any preparations, King Ming's navy will do this every day. Once we relax and the opponent's navy attacks at once, the consequences will be unimaginable. Jiang Xiangwang, our navy's sailors were trapped and died in the military port, so don't even fight this battle."

"But making such a fuss is not the way to go. If it is true what the general said, the other side is just to paralyze us. As long as we are a little unprepared, there will be wars everywhere." The army staff officer said.

"This King Ming doesn't follow common sense in fighting, so we have to be careful. Do you have any good ways to deal with the current harassment of the Zhao Kingdom Navy?" General You Da asked.

Yun Luo thought for a while: "General, our navy is the same as the opposing navy. It is not easy for a main camp to block each other. It’s better to have a backup.”

"Continue." General You nodded.

"The main force of our navy can be divided into three groups. Arrange large ships upstream and set up an upstream camp. The main camp in the middle remains unchanged, mainly medium-sized warships and catapult warships; downstream we arrange a fast and maneuverable small speedboat. The camp can be interspersed with support at any time."

"That's right, a good strategy. In this case, the third battalion of sailors, we can come out in turn. We only need to use the main camp to pretend to light a bonfire to deal with the enemy's aggressive method. The other two battalions of sailors can take turns to rest. "The staff officer accompanying the army praised.

"That's the way it is, but the main battalion still needs to be more vigilant. One-third of our army's large-scale ships have to prepare for battle every night. The three major camps use fireworks as a signal, so we must not slack off."

"Yes!" The generals got up and saluted.

Qian Ke knew the news, he was in Nandu, and Phantom told him the situation in Nandu, so Qian Ke made a special trip to have a look.

"What does Young Master Qian think, will the Zhao army attack?" Hang Qi told the information and asked eagerly.

In order to facilitate his activities in Nandu, Qian Ke asked Phantom to decline Hang Qi's suggestion to arrange him to live in Hang Mansion.

Qian Ke didn't say anything about Hang Qi's question, but he felt that this King Ming looked like a person who came from time travel.

Hang Qi confessed that the head of the Hang family invited them to a banquet at night, and hurried back.

"People asked you just now, why didn't you say anything?" Cao Yang looked at him curiously after Hang Qi left.

Qian Ke leaned on the Taishi chair and looked at the dark sky outside the window.

"This Prince Ming is really interesting. If it weren't for us being opponents, I would really like to meet him." Qian Ke said with a sigh.

"Oh, it's rare to hear you admiring someone one after another!" Cao Yang smiled, and poured the thousands of mountains and rivers in the tea cup into a small cup and handed it to him. Ever since they drank this kind of tea, they almost fell in love with it. Yes, I drink it almost every day. This time I came to Nandu and asked Hang Qi to buy a few catties of the best one to drink.

"He harasses every night, isn't it the same as Zhuge Liang scaring Cao Cao? If this goes on, he can stop those people in Yedu and exhaust Yaoguo's army. It is beneficial to him and not harmful."

"Isn't he afraid that the Yaoguo navy will not hold back and beat him a few times?" Cao Yang thought about the changing battlefield, how could he grasp it so well.

"This is where King Ming is brilliant. Look at Yaoguo's conferment of 'General Anbei'. It's not easy to choose the word "An". The name alone is much shorter than others. The morale of guarding the soil and protecting the city, how dare Yaoguo's army dare to attack across the border, let alone start a war on its own initiative, otherwise what would be the use of King Ming's chain boats, now I just don't know when he will cross the river, really Winter or the last time I made a fuss about spring."

"If it's according to what you said, I think he might be waiting!" Cao Yang took a sip of tea, feeling the fragrance was pleasant.

"What are you waiting for?" Qian Ke asked puzzled when it was his turn.

"Wait for the rain, won't he be afraid of the fire if it rains continuously?" Cao Yang said affirmatively.

Qian Ke picked up the cup, tilted his head and thought for a while, if only the robot cat could know the weather forecast.
