The baby is all there, the princess is still in the routine

When Xiao Li went to the island, the water bandits along the way faced each other with swords and surrounded them, fearing that he would use some evil tricks.

Xiao Li was not afraid of anything anymore, he released Hui Ji and the others very generously, sending out a friendly signal.

He Yu is nearly fifty years old, not yet old, with a strong figure and a tall and straight temperament.Seeing Xiao Li's boldness, he asked everyone to put away their weapons and invite them to the main hall.

Xiao Li handed over the letter of persuasion written by his father to Heyu. In the letter, he recounted the past of the two, earnestly persuaded Heyu to surrender, and promised to arrange them properly.

He Yu burst into tears: "My lord can still remember those little things, I will be ashamed at the end."

"Father has never forgotten the general. Hearing what happened to the general, he felt very sad. If the general can trust my nephew, I can guarantee the safety of all residents on the island..."

Xiao Li spoke with sincerity, and He Yu was a little moved, but his words were still very firm: "I am very touched that you can recognize me as uncle, but we are not willing to accept surrender.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the court does not pursue it, we cannot live in this difficult world.Either live or die, there are only two ways, and I will never choose to live inhumanely. "

Xiao Li paused slightly, Heyu and Huiji were both resolute and resolute people who would rather give up than give up.This kind of person is black and white, stubborn and hard to convince.

His heart sank, and he continued to increase the conditions: "General, please rest assured, I will arrange everything. If necessary, I can settle down the lives of more than [-] people on the island, and have no worries about food and clothing."

"Ah--"

The guard standing beside Heyu scolded disdainfully.

"We don't have to worry about eating and drinking here. Everyone can have meat, vegetables and wine, sing and dance, without any labor. Can you arrange it for us?"

Xiao Li frowned slightly, and shook his head in disapproval: "You all came from robbery, have you ever thought about how those who were robbed should live?"

"They deserve it!" the guard said.

"Some of them deserve it, but some don't. Four months ago, you robbed and killed a merchant ship from Xi'an, and all the fifty people on board died at your hands, leaving no one alive.

The owner of the merchant ship is a well-known benevolent person in Xi'an, and the fifty or so people are just ordinary people.It is also true that you have been hurt, and now you have become perpetrators for your own self-interest. "Xiao Li said in a deep voice.

Maybe it was just a robbery at the beginning, just to start with an unrighteous rich businessman.But over time, their boundaries have become more and more blurred, and their methods have become more and more brutal, and they have gone too far from their original intentions.

"That's enough!" Heyu shouted, and said coldly, "If the nephew came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, there is no need."

"After the recruitment, the past can be erased. You don't have to be trapped on a small island. The sky is big and the earth is big, and you can go anywhere."

The biggest limitation of the life of water bandits is that they are afraid and have no freedom.After Xiao Li laid out generous recruiting conditions and denounced the cruelty of the water bandits, he directly poked at the biggest pain points of the water bandits.

He Yu hesitated, and asked: "Nephew is very good, but there is no proof, how can we believe you? Unless there is an imperial decree."

Xiao Li's eyes sank, he really couldn't ask for this imperial decree.He might even be called back to the capital as soon as he raised it, and he would no longer have the right to intervene.

"Li Qiyue is now the Secretary of the Ministry of War. If I report this matter to the court, you will not even have a chance to surrender."

He Yu sneered and said: "Then Zhao An is just fooling the old man? Nephew, please go back. For the sake of the prince, the old man will not go out to cause trouble during the period when you ruled the navy, so as to save your reputation."

This is so arrogant, once you leave, I will still do mine.

Xiao Li was not angry, and his tone was neither urgent nor slow, serious and sincere: "I have my own way. We can pretend to have a naval battle. In a naval battle, the corpses are difficult to salvage, and the number of casualties is not easy to determine. I will falsely report the death toll. , Send everyone on the island away secretly. If there is nowhere to go, everyone can go to the northern border and be settled by my father."

This is the best-for-two strategy that Xiao Li had thought up early in the morning, and the risk was entirely on him.

He Yu was shocked by Xiao Li's words.

You must know that King Anding is the most disciplined, but he did not expect his son to come up with such a way of deceiving the king.

He paused and said, "Let me think about it."

Xiao Li insisted on staying, waiting for He Yu's reply.

Xiao Li was taken into the confinement cabin, which was dark and dull.Dozens of people watched closely, not even a mosquito could fly out.

Xiao Li closed his eyes and rested his mind, and sat in it.He believes that not everyone is willing to be a bandit all the time, trapped on an island.

Just as Xiao Li thought.When He Yu convened the main speakers to discuss, half of them felt that Xiao Li's words were feasible, while the other half disagreed and would rather stick to the island.What's more, he proposed to kill Xiao Li tonight to avoid future troubles.

How much does Heyu miss his old love, and sternly rejects the proposal to kill Xiao Li.

When everyone was at a stalemate, Hui Ji stood up and said: "The poor monk believes that Xiao Li can do it, but the poor monk still has to live and die with the island. Don't forget that when we were persecuted by the government, our family members When we were killed and humiliated, we swore that we would never be the people of Great Zhou. The island is our home country. I would rather die than betray our vow."

The people present were silent for a long time, and He Yu finally said: "Since this is the case, we will go all the way to the end and never abandon our homeland."

When He Yu came in, Xiao Li got up anxiously: "What is the general's decision?"

"Never surrender." He Yu replied.

Xiao Li sat down dejectedly: "Have you thought about it, General? When we meet again, the two sides will fight and there will be countless casualties. It is possible that the people of the peninsula will be buried in the bottom of the sea. Is this what you want to see?"

"Son, when your father was your age, he couldn't say such arrogant words! It's hard to say who will win. At that time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Heyu has been a water bandit for more than ten years, and he has lost five or six water army chiefs without any defeat.Xiao Li is just a kid in his early twenties, he hasn't taken it to heart yet.

Persuasion was useless, Xiao Li was urged to leave and returned to the land alone.

Ning Changle waited anxiously at the ferry, and when he saw someone, he didn't care about anything, ran over to the wind and hugged him fiercely.

Xiao Li was stunned, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders, and comforted him softly: "The two armies are fighting, if you don't kill them, I will be fine."

With her head hanging in Xiao Li's arms, Ning Changle said in a muffled voice, "I know, I know, but I can't help worrying."

Xiao Li was so shocked by Ning Changle's words, he couldn't help hugging him tightly, and stammered excitedly: "Changle, Changle, you treat me..."

Ning Changle pushed suddenly, got out of his embrace, elegantly tidied up the messy hair on his sideburns, and asked solemnly: "Can Heyu agree to surrender?"

Xiao Li was pushed staggeringly, his arms were suddenly empty, and he couldn't help feeling infinitely disappointed.

Looking at Ning Changle's expressionless, business-like appearance, it seems that the almost love whisper just now was Xiao Li's delusion.

"You just..." Xiao Li asked unwillingly.

Ning Changle twitched the corners of his lips, feeling secretly refreshed.

"I'm asking about your business."

Xiao Li sighed: "I didn't agree."

They have not been in touch with their father for nearly 20 years, and there is not much left of their old friendship.Compared with trusting the court and trusting him, He Yu feared that he believed in the weapon in his hand more.

Ning Changle frowned: "Do you want to fight?"

Xiao Li: "Hit."

He returned to the naval garrison without stopping, and all [-] naval troops were present, waiting for orders.

It will take at least half a month for the new warships to be delivered, and the old warships simply cannot cope with a large-scale naval battle.

Xiao Li has made a plan.According to his observation, the area of ​​cultivated land on the island is insufficient to provide the food and vegetables needed by 8000 people, and it must be replenished onshore.

The first step in Xiao Li's battle: besiege and cut off its supplies.
