Mrs. Rebirth

On the coast of the East China Sea, a cavalry team of about 300 people was driving on an uneven path. The sound of neat horseshoes not only startled the birds on both sides of the road, but also shocked many large animals to tear their legs and run into the deeper woods.

Fifty miles further on, the sound of the waves could be faintly heard. Looking around, the blue sea water reflected the sun, shimmering, making some men who had never seen the sea stare straight at them.

"Hey, good guy, no wonder everyone says the sea is boundless, it's really spectacular!" Many people exclaimed. "Woo..." Lu Zheng reined in the reins, and the black horse under him snorted and pawed twice on the spot, then stopped.

The people behind them also stopped naturally, and the magnificent soldiers who were still sighing about the sea just now shut their mouths, because the picture that appeared in front of them was really not beautiful.

The originally neat village is now only ruined walls, with burnt black earth walls and broken tiles everywhere.

This is the first village to be patronized by pirates. The original village of 300 to [-] people now doesn't even have a dog, and it looks terribly quiet in broad daylight.

Even though the body had been buried, it still exuded a rotten stench.

The soldiers brought by Lu Zheng were alright. After all, they had been in northern Xinjiang for so many years, and there were villages and towns that were more desolate and miserable than this one. However, the soldiers leading the way and the prefect of Hecheng gasped.

It is one thing to hear the news, but another to see the scene in front of you. The magistrate of Crane City wiped off his cold sweat and said indignantly, "Grandpa Lu, look at this... the pirates are really cruel. !"

Lu Zheng didn't even look at him, he raised his right hand high, and immediately, more than [-] soldiers rode their horses into the dilapidated village to find clues.

A certain number of people waited quietly at the entrance of the village. Except for the occasional noise from the horse, none of the hundreds of people spoke. Even the prefect of Crane City shut his mouth wisely.

After about an incense stick of time, the twenty soldiers came back on horseback, and none of them returned empty-handed, some brought half a sword, some brought a few rags, and one even brought a piece Rotten arm.

When the prefect of Hecheng and those soldiers saw the arm, their eyes turned black, and their stomachs felt sore, they all fell off their horses and vomited aside.

Everyone sent a disdainful look, and then listened to the report of the twenty people.

This village was the most victimized. Half a month has passed. Many evidences have disappeared after several rains, and the clues that can be found are limited.

The soldier holding the half-blade handed it to Lu Zheng, and analyzed: "Master, this half-blade will not belong to the villagers' homes. The shape and casting process of the knife are different from Dayang's, and it is not ruled out that the group of Haitians will be the ones who own it." Kou was woven by himself on a barbaric island."

The soldier with a broken arm was embarrassed to show the stinking thing to Lord Lu, so he had no choice but to say directly: "My subordinate found a vague mark on the arm of this pirate, where did my subordinate seem to see this pattern?" Pass."

The magistrate of Crane City held his nose and asked suspiciously: "How do you know that this must be the stump of a pirate?" After all, it is impossible to write a name on an arm.

The soldier didn't look sideways, and replied loudly: "Military secrets, no comment!"

Many soldiers suppressed their laughter. In fact, this is easy to guess. It must be that he found the stump with cloth on it.

Lu Zheng asked him to draw down the pattern, and then waved his hand: "Go, next one!"

The five villages that were victimized were not in the same area. It took Lu Zheng and his people three days to travel all over the five places. Every place was checked carefully, trying not to leave any clues behind.

The prefect of Crane City is a literati, and he was out of breath after riding a horse for three days, his legs were worn out, and his walking posture was distorted.

Fortunately, he was worried about Mr. Lu, the magistrate did not dare to retreat halfway, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on.

In the last village before finishing, Lu Zheng took people to find a flat nearby and set up camp, disappointing the magistrate who thought he could go back to the city.

"Master Lu, are we going to wait here for the pirates to continue to appear?" the prefect of Crane City asked shyly.

Lu Zheng glanced at him, wondering how the magistrate was admitted back then, "Does magistrate Lin think that pirates will appear in the same place twice?"

Lin Zhihao laughed a few times, knowing that he had asked a stupid question, so he moved his legs and sat down on a big rock beside him.

After eating a meal and resting for half an hour, Lu Zheng called several lieutenants into the tent to discuss military affairs.

Lin Zhihao also wanted to follow in but was stopped by soldiers, the reason was still: military secrets, idlers should not enter.

Prefect Lin is also a top figure in Crane City, but these days he hit a wall one after another, even a small soldier without an official position dared to show him face, he was so depressed that he was dying but he didn't dare to attack.

With his victories in the northern border battlefield, the fierce reputation of Lord Lu has spread throughout Dayang.

Although the people of Dayang respect this God of War, they are not without fear when they think of the human life that died in his hands.

In the camp, Lu Zheng didn't care how the prefect Lin was feeling. He spread out Dayang's sea map, circled the five villages where the accident happened, and said, "Tell me your opinion."

This time Lu Zheng brought out all elite soldiers and strong generals. He originally planned to take advantage of this trip south to take over the navy, just in time for these people to rectify the navy for him.

As Lu Zheng's confidant, Song Hanlin was the first to say: "My subordinates have found out that the places where pirates have been active in the past few years have been concentrated in the coastal areas of Hecheng County and Changping County. The lair is also on this sea city."

Song Hanlin drew a circle on the map with his hands, roughly determining the location.

Someone next to him echoed: "It makes sense, the pirates will choose different places to go ashore, but they will definitely choose the place close to us. It's just that we don't have a map of the island distribution in Haicheng, so it's still difficult to find people."

"Judging from the number of people dispatched by the other party every time, the island must be quite big, and there must be a lot of people. There are also those young men and women who were taken away by them. After several generations of reproduction, they should be self-sufficient."

"So the things they wear are different from Dayang's. Can we start from here and arrange eyeliner along the coast, and once we find people with different clothes and behaviors, we can follow the vine to find their lair. Get rid of these shameless people!"

As soon as this idea came out, many people nodded in agreement. Lu Zheng sat upright and only commented: "It takes time and effort!"

Uh... Everyone was depressed, and then someone said: "Then let's divide our troops and go out to sea, so we won't be able to find such a big island."

"Where is the ship? Where are the people? How many people will be sent along the way?" Lu Zheng's words were precise, and he lowered his head to refute the enthusiasm of the deputy general.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Song Hanlin asked bravely, "Master, do you have an idea?"

Lu Zheng glanced at him, "Our enemies are pirates whose whereabouts are erratic. Looking for them on the vast sea by boat is almost equivalent to courting death. If they come ashore, we will not be afraid at all. If that is the case, then lead them ashore. Come on."

"Led to land?" Everyone's eyes lit up, then darkened again, "How to lure?"

"Since the pirates can get the right time and place every time, there must be some people who have been active along the coast for a long time. These people are not pirates living on the island. Don't think that their clothes and behavior will be different, but we can use these people to provide Pirates are spreading false news."

Lu Zheng explained the general idea, and everyone was not stupid. With a little help, the master understood Lu Gongye's strategy, and all of them blushed with excitement.

Song Hanlin licked his lips, and said with a wicked smile, "We can take over their ship after we're done, and save some money for the treasury."

"If they can be wiped out smoothly and their warehouses are searched, it will not only save money, hehe..."

Lu Zheng strikes again: "Don't think things are too smooth. In terms of individual ability, you have naturally used it well, but when you really get on the boat, you must first make sure you don't get seasick."

A few landlubbers touched their heads, their expressions a little unnatural.

The elite soldiers brought out by Lu Zheng this time are all able to understand water, but these confidant generals don't know if they can adapt to water combat.

He made a decision and said: "From tomorrow onwards, you will start training water skills. If you can't even match your soldiers, don't be ashamed of yourself here."

Everyone looked solemn, and respectfully agreed in unison: "Obey!"
