The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Because King Chu transferred people away, many camps on the island were empty and no one was there at all, so the three teams moved very quickly.

And because the other party never thought that anyone would enter the military camp, even the patrolling soldiers found a place to sleep next to each other.

The three hundred elite soldiers were frantically harvesting the lives of the rebels as if they were entering no man's land. If one person hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night and noticed something was wrong, Guard Zhang would have killed them all, and they wouldn't even have noticed.

But it was discovered a little late, and Mr. Huo had already led people into the military camp.

Gu Yuzhi's eyes were filled with shock when he heard this. He could open his mouth so much that he could stuff an egg into it.

He had never seen the Mobei Army under the command of Bai Jiwu, but he had seen it after General Lu took charge of the Mobei Army.

Not to mention there were at least four people standing guard at the door, and there were also four people on the watchtower.

There are a total of four patrol teams in the military camp, each responsible for their own area. The defense changes once an hour, and each change of defense will have a specific code word, and the code word will change once a week or so.

Even at the end of the ugly times, as Mr. Huo said, when people are most destitute, the patrolling soldiers are still in high spirits.

General Lu also established very strict military regulations. If a soldier is found to be cheating during patrol, he will be given ten military sticks.

Gu Yuzhi had seen the military sticks in the Mobei Army. They were thick and heavy.

Even if he had exercised, it would still be very difficult to hold the military stick.

If a solid Ten Army stick is used, the person who is punished may have his skin and flesh torn.

He scratched his head and said, "Is it because these people are too relaxed, or because..."

Gu Yuzhi thought for a while and said, "Is it because they are like this to begin with?"

If the private soldiers led by the King of Chu were like this, wouldn't they have nothing to fear?

Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh secretly when he thought that these soldiers had no fighting ability and were beaten and screamed when fighting them.

His Highness's expression was so easy to guess. Mr. Huo saw through it at a glance. He coughed lightly and said, "The main reason why we won a big victory this time is because the other party relaxed their vigilance."

Xie Changshi nodded and said: "Yes, there are more than 6,000 people on Houhu Island. Excluding those who were annihilated on the spot, we captured 3,000 rebels. The former Jiangnan Navy who were temporarily counted before coming here has 1,000 people."

Speaking of this, both Xie Changshi and Mr. Huo looked a little bad.

After capturing many navy soldiers from Houhu Island, they truly realized that the King of Chu had really developed the navy soldiers into his own private soldiers.

After this incident, we still don’t know who the emperor will eventually send to take over the navy.

There are so many private soldiers, it is impossible to kill them all, the most likely thing is to recruit them...

Xie Changshi's mind was spinning very fast. Several names flashed through his mind, and finally he settled on Duke Qi.

According to his understanding of the emperor, Qi Chengjun, Prince Qi, will eventually return to Beijing and join the cabinet. So Qi Guogong, the father of Prince Qi, is also a man who has led the navy. According to him, he is naturally the most suitable. people.

However, Xie Changshi cannot tell His Highness these things. After all, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and the Emperor has his own considerations about who he will choose to take over the navy.

When Gu Yuzhi heard that the other party was just careless and not really lacking in strength, he pouted in dissatisfaction.

But he soon thought of the two battles during the siege of Huizhou. The opponent's strength was indeed good. However, his frustration lasted only a moment, because Xie Changshi said that there were more than a thousand navy soldiers captured.

This thousand, plus the two thousand people they persuaded before, wouldn't it be three thousand!
No wonder Mr. Huo said we can counterattack!

Gu Yuzhi rolled his eyes: "Mr. Huo, where should we attack first? Should Jiangzhou and Yangzhou be put last?"

It has been mentioned before that Jiangzhou's city guard army may be the largest in size. In addition, the people of Jiangzhou are likely to listen to Brother Chu Wang, so it is definitely not appropriate to attack Jiangzhou first.

Next is Yangzhou.

On the way here, Xie Changshi told him about the current situation in several states in the south of the Yangtze River. Fan Qiu, the prefect of Yangzhou, was originally the prefect of Lingnan. It was the manpower of the King of Chu who pushed him to the position of prefect of Yangzhou. Maybe this prefect of Yangzhou I know the Lingnan Navy very well.

In addition to Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Huizhou, there are six other states...

Gu Yuzhi held his chin with both hands, wondering with some melancholy whether this Fan Qiu would tell Brother Chu about the Lingnan Navy.

If this is the case, wouldn't Qi Guogong and the others be in danger again?
Xie Changshi stroked his beard and nodded: "Your Highness is right, we do plan to put Jiangzhou and Yangzhou last. As for the other six states."

He paused and said, "I wonder if Your Highness still remembers the owner of Tianquan Villa?"

Gu Yuzhi slapped his forehead and said, "Remember! Didn't these three Jianghu forces say they wanted to take refuge in me? Where's Guard Zhang..."

Before setting off to Houhu Island, didn't he ask Guard Zhang to investigate these three Jianghu forces?

I don’t know if he has found out through the investigation. If so, what will be the result?
Gu Yuzhi was about to send someone to fetch Guard Zhang when he heard Mr. Huo say: "Tianquan Villa is located in Yunzhou, and Yunzhou is an important transportation road connecting Lingnan, so it has not been taken seriously by the king of Chu over the years."

Lingnan is plagued by insects, ants and miasma. Over the years, it has been the second place, after Mobei, where officials have been dispatched and prisoners have been exiled.

Yunzhou is connected to Lingnan, and the king of Chu has many taboos. He has never been to Yunzhou in so many years in Jiangnan, for fear that the insects, ants and miasma from Lingnan will go to Yunzhou.

Yunzhou officials gave gifts many times to curry favor, but they were never summoned by the King of Chu. The more times they did it, the more they would understand.

The King of Chu only wanted his gifts and had no intention of promoting him, so apart from the daily filial piety, the Yunzhou magistrate really didn't have much contact with the King of Chu.

It can be known from the owner of Tianquan Villa that the prefect of Yunzhou has prepared everything in Yunzhou after knowing that they are coming. He will arrive in Huizhou one step behind them and may arrive in two days.

Xie Changshi continued: "So if nothing else happens, it should be the remaining five states. With three thousand navy and these three rivers and lakes forces, it should not be a problem for us to win these five states."

Gu Yuzhi rolled his big eyes, silently calculating in his mind.

Even if the battle in one of the five states ends in one day, plus the travel and rest, it will take at least half a month...

In half a month, if the emperor's brother's reinforcements have not arrived, then he will doubt whether the special passage where Jiang Guards and others sent the emperor off was bribed by the king of Chu.

Gu Yuzhi quietly touched Xiaobai, secretly thinking that if the emperor's brother's reinforcements hadn't arrived half a month later, he would ask Xiaobai to deliver the message.

Xiaobai was able to successfully find Prince Qi before, so he should be able to find the imperial brother as well, right?

Just as Gu Yuzhi was thinking about it, he saw Guard Zhang hurried in, with a look of joy on his face... (End of Chapter)
