Horse on the World

Chapter 378

'Dingzhou, Department of Statistics and Investigation, Li Qing? "Tian Feng looked at Zhong Jing in shock.

Zhong Jing smiled and nodded, and said frankly, "Yes, our Dingzhou Statistical Investigation Department has always had a branch in Qinzhou. This time, we also have a comprehensive understanding of General Tian Feng's affairs. Seeing that General Tian Feng suffered such an indiscriminate disaster, we are deeply moved." It was very unfair, so I acted righteously and rescued the general."

Tian Feng sneered, "Shooting righteously? If you hadn't contributed to the flames, Qinzhou City wouldn't be in such a mess right now, would it?"

Han Renjie took a step forward and said dissatisfiedly: "General Tian, ​​you know how much danger we took to rescue you. You are not grateful, but you talk to us like this. What's the reason?"

Zhong Jing stopped Han Renjie with a wave of his hand, and said, "General Tian, ​​do you still have the idea of ​​going back to Luoyang to seek justice from Duke Xiao Haoran? If it was possible before General Tian killed Xiao Tianci, now When you return to Luoyang, you can only throw yourself into a trap, even though you have been friends with Xiao Guogong for decades, but you are not close relatives, you killed the grandson he has carefully cultivated for many years!"

Tian Feng sat down dejectedly, and murmured: "What if we don't go? Our family and relatives are all in Luoyang. After this incident, we will definitely be implicated. When I go back, they can be fine, but if we don't go back, will they be fine?" Lucky gift?"

Seeing that Tian Feng's will had been broken, Zhong Jing sat down opposite him with a smile, and said: "General Tian's words are wrong. If you go back to Luoyang, they will be really unlucky. If you don't go back, Instead, it saved them a lifeline."

"How do you say that?" Like a drowning man catching a straw, a glimmer of hope flashed in Tian Feng's eyes.

"Have you forgotten my handsome man?" Zhong Jing smiled.

"Marshal Li?" Tian Feng murmured, subconsciously, he had always regarded Li Qing as an enemy.

"That's right, General Tian. To be honest, you really have nowhere to go. You definitely don't want to go to the Southern Army. After all, the person who caused you to fall into today's land is the commander of the Southern Army in Qinzhou. Hu Zehui, of course, Xiao Tianci, who is ambitious and talented, also played a huge role in the middle, and now the only way you go to us is to go to Dingzhou."

"Go to Dingzhou?"

Zhong Jing smiled and said: "That's right, General Tian, ​​my commander-in-chief has formed an alliance with Duke Xiao. If you go to Dingzhou, you will not be an enemy of Duke Xiao, let alone confront them. Presumably this is what you want. Second, you have Marshal Li." Even if Xiao Guogong hates you to the bone, he has nothing to do with you, let alone your family. After a while, Li Dashuai asked Xiao Guogong for your family. With the current relationship between the two families, Xiao Guogong will definitely not do it for you. What's not to like with Marshal Li because of your family, so why not do it, your family can be reunited in Dingzhou?"

Tian Feng smiled wryly and said: "But in this way, the Xiao family and I can be regarded as severing ties."

Zhong Jing laughed, "General Tian, ​​when Little General Tian killed Xiao Tianci with one sword, you have already cut off your ties. Speaking of which, you have fought for the Xiao family all your life, and you don't owe them anything. Thirst, for General Tian’s arrival, he must have greeted General Tian’s arrival with endless joy.”

Tian Feng said desolately: "A bereaved dog, I just want to have a place in Dingzhou, I don't dare to be a virtuous character! If Marshal Li can reward Tian's Susukida, so that Tian can live by farming, I will be grateful Already!"

Zhong Jing smiled and said: "This is something for later. No matter what General Tian plans, let's wait until Dingzhou. From what I know about the general, the days of General Tian's great achievements are yet to come! General Tian , but please feel wronged here for a few days, we are planning a way to get you, General, to leave Qinzhou."

"Thank you so much!" Tian Feng stood up and bowed, "Have you asked the girl's name yet?"

"Statistical Investigation Department Zhong Jing!"

The sudden change in Qinzhou, of course, could not be hidden from Hu Zequan, who had been coveting Qinzhou City. After a few days, Hu Zequan, who got the exact news, knew the details of what happened in Qinzhou City, and couldn't help laughing happily. Cutting off Xiao Shi's arm is a gift from heaven, my son, and you will live up to me for letting you live!"

Ai Jiaxin on the side joked: "The manager has a clever plan, that Xiao Tianci really forced the Tian family's uncle and nephew, and I heard that the kid was cut off by Tian Xinyu, so that the Tian family's uncle and nephew would also be completely insane, killing two birds with one stone! "

After Hu Zequan laughed for a while, his brows were frowned again, "The fire in Qinzhou City is very strange, and Tian's uncle and nephew have not been caught by Xiao Yuanshan so far. Could it be that there are other forces involved in this matter?"

Ai Jiaxin said with a smile: "Whoever intervenes in this matter, anyway, the general manager's goal has been achieved. Tian Feng is a veteran of the Xiao family, and he has a high prestige in the army. His coming here has greatly hurt the other party's reputation." Morale is of great benefit to us in conquering Qinzhou. Presumably Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Haoran are both suffering from headaches right now."

No matter how the Xiao family struggled with this matter, they tried their best to minimize the negative impact of Tian's uncle and nephew's defection. At this time, in the naval camp in Bozhou in the south, Zhong Xiang, the naval commander, was also having a headache.

In front of him, there were several corpses. This was discovered by his naval patrol fleet during the patrol. But it made him look terrified.

Several corpses were wearing uniform armor, which could be seen as standard equipment at a glance. It was impossible for pirates to have such excellent armor, and he was familiar with the standard equipment of the three navy divisions of the Southern Army, and he did not have such armor. However, out of caution, he still sent a messenger to inform the Linzhou and Dengzhou navy to see if they had updated their equipment recently, but there was a shipwreck.If it wasn't, Zhong Xiang's head would hurt again, and the problem would be serious, which meant that there was a water force that they didn't know was operating on the Black Water Ocean, but they didn't know anything about it.

"Restrain yourself first!" Zhong Xiang ordered.Walking out of the cabin, climbed up and looked at the boundless black water ocean, the mountain and rain are about to come and the wind is full of the building!The army has begun to aggressively attack the hinterland of the Central Plains. I thought that the navy would be useless for the time being, but now it seems that the situation is not as optimistic as the previous Yuze!

Three days later, Pang Jun, commander of the Dengzhou Navy, came to Bozhou in person. Zhong Xiang was surprised to see Pang Jun coming in person. Among the three southern navy, Pang Jun was only in charge of the Dengzhou Navy, but According to King Ning's order, once a war breaks out, Pang Jun has the right to control the other two navy divisions, and with Pang Jun's status among the navy divisions, even without King Ning's order, Zhong Xiang is completely convinced by him .

"Old general, why did you come here in person?" Zhong Xiang, who had to report, got off the boat and walked to the pier to meet Pang Jun who was galloping fast.

"Where is the corpse?" Pang Jun, who was over [-] years old but still in good spirits, casually threw his helmet to the soldiers behind him, and asked Zhong Xiang impatiently.

"Old general, please come on board!" Zhong Xiang invited Pang Jun to his flagship. Knowing Pang Jun's temper, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered someone to move the corpses over. The water has been out for several days, and even though it has been treated by a doctor, the stench is still threatening.After opening the thin wooden coffin, Pang Jun's expression changed after only one glance.

"Fuzhou Navy!" Pang Jun said with certainty.

Fuzhou Navy?Zhong Xiang exclaimed, "How is this possible? The Fuzhou navy is too far away. Such a long-distance voyage has almost circumnavigated half of Dachu. How could it not be noticed?"

Pang Jun waved his hand, ordered the coffin to be dragged down, walked to the side of the ship, held on to the railing, and said slowly: "The other party must have escaped deep into the depths of the black water ocean first, only in this way can he avoid our eyes and ears, Dingzhou Li Qing, finally make a move."

"Old General, what shall we do?" Zhong Xiang asked.If the Fuzhou navy really arrives, a big naval battle will be inevitable.

"Expand the search range and try to find the opponent's trace. I think that if such a large-scale penetration into the Blackwater Ocean, the opponent must have sent an advance ship to find out the channel. Although Deng Peng is bold, it is impossible to make a move without knowing the channel. The whole division took risks to find them and annihilate them." Pang Jun waved his hand fiercely, "I will cut off the claws extended by the Fuzhou navy first."

"Yes, old general, I will double the patrol area of ​​the navy immediately." Zhong Xiang said.

"No, expand to two hundred kilometers away. I think the opponent must be beyond this voyage, so it may arrive without anyone noticing. I don't know the size of the opponent's advance fleet. Your patrol ship must not be a single ship. Take action, once you find out, don’t love to fight, return immediately and inform the brigade, starting today, the Linzhou, Bozhou, and Dengzhou naval forces have entered a wartime state, and I will report the specific situation to King Ning.”

"The old general is very thoughtful!" Zhong Xiang flattered him a little.

Pang Jun turned around, "Zhong Xiang, you should make full use of those pirate eyeliners in your hand, they know much more about Heishuiyang than we do."

Looking at Pang Jun's meaningful eyes, Zhong Xiang blushed suddenly, knowing that he had colluded with some pirates and smuggled some goods. He couldn't hide from this wise old guy, so he lowered his head slightly, "I see, Old General!"

Pang Jun sighed in his heart. This kind of thing exists to varying degrees among the several major naval forces, even the Dengzhou Navy under his own control. After all, the salaries of sailors are generally not high, and it is difficult to support their families without making some foreign money. For Fuzhou Navy, Pang Jun has always paid attention to collecting information. Regarding their treatment, Pang Jun can only drool. Li Qing from Dingzhou was born in the army, but he is really willing to devote himself to the officers and soldiers of the navy. Just looking at the gray armor of the soldiers who died, in his own army, only officers are capable. Well equipped!

Although Pang Jun is not afraid of the upcoming battle, he also knows that it will be a hard battle.

The previous naval battles were nothing more than a large ship was better than a small ship, and a large number of people was better than a few. You have to work from afar, and I can’t match you in terms of equipment, but I am better than fighting at home. There are many ships and many people, and it is easy to replenish. , but one sinking is one less.

Pang Jun has already characterized this upcoming naval battle as a long-term war of attrition in his heart.

Just when Pang Jun arrived in Bozhou, the second fleet of the Fuzhou Navy had arrived at the Lianshan Island base. With the specific navigation chart, their sailing speed was immediately greatly increased.
