Water Margin people

On the sea surface, Hu Yanqing was standing on the bow of the largest merchant ship. Because it was a merchant ship, there were not too many buildings on the deck, only a few warehouses and masts, and most of the soldiers were in the cabins.

"horn!"

Seeing that he was going to Salmon Island, Hu Yanqing waved his hand and ordered the horn to be blown. He didn't plan to go to Salmon Island. This group of islands is very large, and it might take ten days to search for it. He must hurry up.

"Woooooo!"

The horn sounded.

"what happened?"

Looking at the unresponsive Salmon Island, Hu Yanqing frowned. There are quite a few people on the Salmon Island, and the bugle sounded for a long time, so no one came out.

"Did something happen on the island!"

Hu Yanqing's heart tightened, if the thieves can sneak attack Daoyu Village, they will definitely be able to capture Salmonella Island.

"General, why don't you go to the island to have a look!"

An officer looked at Hu Yanqing and asked while clasping his fists.

"The army cannot go to the island. If the thieves hide on the island, we will be ambushed if we stop the boat."

Hu Yanqing shook his head and said, if you go to the island, the ships will have to dock. The most taboo thing in sea warfare is to stop the ships. Once they stop, it is tantamount to revealing the enemy.

"The fleet moves forward slowly in a zigzag shape, sending a small boat to the island!"

Hu Yanqing looked at Salmon Island for a long time, but he didn't find any problem, so he gave the order.

"There are seventy or eighty prisoners in the prison city on this island, and there are two hundred servants. How come none of them are seen?"

Hu Yanqing looked at the intact prison city and buildings on Shamen Island and frowned. The thieves had artillery, but there was no trace of being bombarded here.

A small boat quickly sent a dozen people on board, and Hu Yanqing was watching all this from the bow, and he would not stop the boat and go to the island without waiting for a clear result.

"This Hu Yanqing is really cautious, as expected of a general who has fought at sea for many years."

Behind a deserted island not far away, Ruan Xiaoer was watching the situation near Salmon Island with a telescope, and he saw everything Hu Yanqing did.

"It's a pity, if he brings people to the island, Fei Bao can directly copy his back route, and it's hard to fly!"

Ruan Xiaowu opened his mouth and said.

"Hu Yanqing is not an idiot. Apart from some islands, the sea is unobstructed and unstoppable. It's not easy to set up an ambush. As long as his boat doesn't stop, he will be able to fight!"

Ruan Xiaoer said, this is the sea, not Liangshan Po. There are patches of reeds and various water port branches in Liangshan Po. There is nothing on this sea, and you can see everything from more than ten miles away. If the weather is better, stand on the mast How can you set up an ambush when you can see dozens of miles away?

"Second brother, can we brothers fight this battle well!"

Ruan Xiaowu whispered in Ruan Xiaoer's ear, there is no third person around at this time, Ruan Xiaowu also wanted this skill very much, he thought that Ruan Xiaoer was in charge this time and should give him the first battle, But Ruan Xiaoer gave Fei Bao.

"Do you know why I sent Ni Yun and Wang Dingliu together?"

Ruan Xiaoer said in a low voice.

"do not know!"

Ruan Xiaowu shook his head, Wang Dingliu and Ni Yun were their lieutenants, and they were also released this time.

"How could our three brothers, He De, be able to occupy the three seats in the fourth battalion of the Navy? What were we before? We were just three fishermen from Shijie Village."

Ruan Xiaoer looked at the clouds floating in the sky and said, he used to like to watch the clouds floating in the sky, it was the freedom he longed for, but life always forced him to fish endlessly, but now he can finally chase That freedom.

"It's all thanks to brother Sun Lei!"

Ruan Xiaowu replied that they were able to change from a fisherman to the leader of Liangshanbo, and they all led a battalion of sailors and more than a dozen warships, all of which came from Sun Lei.

"That's why we can't dismantle my brother's position. My brother treats us well. If we still form a small group and exclude others, do you think my brother will be happy!"

Ruan Xiaoer said, they were the first to follow Sun Lei, and Sun Lei also gave them a very high status, so the three brothers are willing to do anything for Sun Lei.

"Our three brothers have high positions and stable positions. What's the impact of more credit and less credit? But what about the new brothers? Especially Fei Bao, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, Di Cheng, and Wang Dingliu are different. They need a job. Contribute to its solid position.”

"And this is also very important to the overall momentum of the navy. Our navy has few opportunities to make meritorious deeds. The new brothers have no credit, have no idea, and have a lot of gossip. Where will the morale come from in the long run?"

Ruan Xiaoer looked at Ruan Xiaowu and said, what the water army lacks most now is credit, unlike the horse army and infantry army, which are full of money in one hit, the water army in Liangshanbo has leaders, soldiers, and warships. But there is no room for expansion.

"That's true. Brother Fei Bao followed his brother from the south of the Yangtze River all the way to our Liangshanbo. Up to now, we haven't had a chance to make a move. It's really inappropriate for our brothers to take credit again."

Ruan Xiaowu nodded.As Sun Lei's most loyal follower, he naturally couldn't cause trouble for Sun Lei. Even if Fei Bao made great contributions, the three of them's position in Sun Lei's heart would not be shaken in the slightest.

On Shamen Island, the soldiers on the island ran out of the prison city in horror, where it was already an empty city.

Taking the boat, a group of soldiers quickly reported the news to Hu Yanqing.

"What, no one? Not even a corpse?"

Hu Yanqing's face changed slightly. Although he had thought that something happened in the prison city, he never expected it to be like this. This is really too weird. How could there be no dead bodies?

"Have you searched inside and out?"

Hu Yanqing asked in confirmation.

"I've searched everything, not only in the prison city, but also in the house where the servants live outside, it's empty, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air!"

The soldiers reported back with horror on their faces. Since the attack on Daoyu Village, the morale of Ping Haijun has been lost. The fear of unknown enemies is increasing day by day.

"Sail, head to Yuanji Island!"

Hu Yanqing ordered to the soldiers, since Salmon Island is already an empty island, there is no need for him to go ashore again, and go directly to the next island that may be inhabited.

"Hu Yanqing was fooled!"

Ruan Xiaowu said with a smile when he saw that Huyanqing's fleet bypassed Salmon Island and continued to advance.

"It depends on how Fei Bao and the others fight!"

Ruan Xiaoer nodded.

Hu Yanqing led the army all the way to the north, Hu Yanqing was very careful, and led the fleet to go to places with islands and reefs. If the enemy suddenly appeared, he would use the hundreds of miles of bright islands and hidden reefs to deal with the enemy.

"I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost!"

Hu Yanqing said coldly in his heart, he has been in the Dengzhou Ping Navy for more than ten years, and he is in charge of the defense of the eastern coast. He is very familiar with this island and reef, and this is his home field. fate.

"Report, an unknown ship is found ahead!"

The sentry on the mast suddenly roared loudly.

The sound instantly alerted everyone, and they all ran to the bow of the ship to take a look. Sure enough, there was a loach warship in the distance.
