Horse on the World

Chapter 758
Just like a replica of the annihilation of the Bozhou Fleet a few years ago, when the sentry ship sent to guard the Black Hawk Fleet came back in a daze and reported the news of the Dingzhou Navy's attack to Zhong Xiang, Zhong Xiang was in a trance. The time seems to have returned to the night when the fire was raging.
The same place, the same method, but why did the same cruelty fall on his head twice in a row, Zhong Xiang crazily raised his head and howled, "Why, why did the Dingzhou navy appear behind him?"

At sea level, the fleet of the Dingzhou Navy had already appeared. Seeing the lineup of the Dingzhou Navy and the number of fleets, Zhong Xiang was completely desperate. "Break anchor, set sail, fight each other, and break through!" Zhong Xiang issued the last order.The fleet moored on the pier turned its bow. In the busy schedule, several ships even collided with each other and could no longer move.

Mu Chao, who was desperately attacking Lianshan Island, Huo Qi was stunned to find that the navy had abandoned them, "The navy has run away!" Someone yelled first, and then the army collapsed, and all the soldiers turned around and headed towards the sea Run, if the navy leaves, they stay on the island, where there is a way to survive.
Zheng Zhiqiang looked at the Dingzhou naval fleet coming on the sea with the wind and waves, excitedly raised the military flag, jumped to the top of a fortress, waved the military flag, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, our reinforcements are here, rush, kill!" These little bastards!"
In the fortress of Lianshan Island, countless soldiers rushed out with knives and guns in their hands, and chased down the opponent's retreat route. Further away, the residents of Lianshan Island also held sticks in their hands, carrying kitchen knives and axes, shouting and rushing. down.

When Huo Qi and Mu Chao rushed to the beach, the nearest ship sailed hundreds of meters away from the pier. They stood there blankly, watching the sea water lapping against the embankment. Bitter.
Some of the soldiers behind him cursed and begged bitterly, but none of the navy fleet sailed back. Thousands of soldiers, Huo Chao, let out a long sigh, "Raise the white flag, we surrender!"
Excitedly running all the way down, Kuang Zhengyi and the others looked at the beach, and a white flag was suddenly erected among the densely packed Confederate soldiers, followed by the soldiers throwing away their weapons one by one, holding their heads in their hands, and squatting down. On the ground.Two people dressed in the uniforms of the generals of the Southern Army stepped out and looked at Kuang Zhengyi, "Please report to your general, Huo Qi of the Southern Army Navy and Marine Battalion, Mu Chao is willing to lead his troops to surrender to your army."

On the surface of the sea, the Nanjun warships were running around like headless flies. In front of the well-prepared Yin Ning fleet, there was not much room for struggle. , and Dingzhou soldiers forcibly boarded the ship, beheaded the generals on board one by one, and were gradually forced into a narrow water area. The Southern Army navy was completely desperate, looking up at the huge Dingzhou, their last bit Hope is also dashed.

One after another the white flags were hoisted.
Zhong Xiang didn't want to surrender. He had a deep blood feud with Dingzhou. On his own ship, he roared and roared, ordering his subordinates to charge. Facing such a desperate journey to death, his subordinates rushed forward , Throwing him to the ground, a rope was firmly tied up, and a white flag was raised on Zhong Xiang's flagship.
On the island and on the boat, flags were flying, and cheers shook the sky. Under the background of joy, there were groups of Confederate soldiers expelled from the warships, squatting densely on the beach.

The Dengzhou attack was successful, and Anshun Port was also destroyed. A batch of information was quickly collected on Li Qing's desk. What made Li Qing even more happy was that Qingfeng successfully rescued Li Zonghua and escaped from danger.

From Li Qing's point of view, the battle of the Southern Navy is settled at this time, and the rest is the question of how much victory can be gained. As long as Deng Peng maintains an undefeated situation in the battle of heroes, this time it can be regarded as a complete victory.
From then on, the Southern Army will no longer be able to compete with the Dingzhou Navy at sea. The destruction of the Dengzhou Shipyard will deal a huge blow to the southern shipbuilding industry. Even the replenishment of [-] warships has become a big problem. From now on, the only thing they can do is to run around on the long southern coastline to deal with the short-term assault of the Dingzhou navy.
To say that the only thing that worried him a little among these pieces of information was that Qingfeng was injured.The information did not elaborate on the extent of Qingfeng's injury. Judging from his tone, it should be nothing serious, but Li Qing was still a little worried.
Lu Yiming, Yan Nanfei, and Luo Daoming walked into Li Qing's meeting hall happily.

"My lord, You Yan can't sit still at last." Lu Yiming laughed, "Today, Xiao Yuanshan arrived in Dingzhou in person, wanting to ask to see my lord, my lord, will you see me or not?"

"Of course I want to see you!" Li Qing said: "But let him hang out for a few days before we talk." Li Qing waved his hand, "It seems that we are in Dengzhou, and they already know the news of Anshun Port's complete victory. Xiao Haoran is old and mature, I can't fail to see what it means, if you don't come at this time, it will be too late when you come again."
Yan Nanfei said: "My lord, these people are capricious, like weeds on the wall, falling with the wind, don't trust them all!"

Luo Daoming retorted, "Otherwise, Lord Yan, the land of Youyan, is in danger now. Even after Xiao Haoran's return, it is only temporarily stabilizing the interior. Externally, no matter whether it is us or Luoyang It can pose a fatal danger to them, especially us, occupying their Xiangshan Mansion, it can be said that the land of Youyan has no defense against us. If Xiao Haoran in the past still wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, plotting to make a comeback, Now he has to make a choice, either an enemy or a friend, there is no middle way to go."

When Yan Nanfei was about to speak again, Li Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have to say, Xiao Haoran chose the timing of the negotiation very cleverly. He keenly saw the dilemma of our current lack of troops. At present, the numbers on the mainland All major battlefields require us to invest a lot of troops. The Guoshanfeng Group is in Qingzhou and Xingzhou, Chen Zeyue is in Minzhou, Tian Feng is in Weizhou, especially Tian Feng's side, and King Ning will be ushered in soon. The large-scale attack is indeed far from enough, and under such circumstances, we still have a whole legion pinned down in Xiangshan Mansion. Therefore, at this time and place, Xiao Haoran naturally thinks that it is profitable to get money from us. To gain greater benefits, because he knows that we need the army in Lyddalin's hands now."

"Do you want to take advantage of the fire?" Lu Yiming sneered, "I'm afraid it may not be what he wants."

"My lord, what do you think Xiao Haoran wants this time?"

"What he wants is self-reliance. Signing a non-aggression treaty with us allows us to withdraw Lu Dalin's army to fight in Weizhou. This is their capital."

"The shore of the land, could it be Wang Tu! He has a good idea!" Yan Nanfei snorted coldly: "Can't we take them down first? If Lu Dalin's army launches an attack, I don't know how many days they can last." ?”

"It's impossible to crack the earth and seal the king." Li Qingdao: "Lord Yan, you should contact Xiao Yuanshan first. Our bottom line is to guarantee the prosperity of the Xiao family forever. As long as they surrender to Dingzhou, they will accept it militarily." Adapt it, accept the leadership in politics, and focus on Dingzhou in diplomacy, then, the past grievances between the Xiao family and us will be wiped out, and I, Li Qing, guarantee that the Xiao family will live and work in peace and contentment for generations to come."
Yan Nanfei excitedly said: "Yes, if they don't agree, then it will be a matter of time before the soldiers come to the city."

Li Qing looked up to the sky and laughed, "How can you allow other people to sleep soundly beside the couch, the land of secluded swallows can intimidate Luoyang, and can also threaten me in Bingzhou, how can I leave such a calamity behind?"

There were hurried footsteps outside the hall, and Iron Leopard rushed in excitedly, holding a stack of information in his hand, "My lord, my lord, there is news from General Deng Peng."
All the people in the hall stood up at once.

"Our people lurking in the navy of the Southern Army sent back information that Pang Jun has withdrawn to Dengzhou."
"How about it?"

"The Southern Army Navy lost terribly this time. Even the Ningzhou was sunk. The entire Southern Army Navy lost almost one-third of its combat effectiveness, and countless ships were sunk." Iron Leopard said.

"Where is Deng Peng?"
"According to this person's report, the loss of General Deng Peng's side should also be great, no less than the loss of ships of the Southern Army, but our Qiyuan and Kaitai are safe and sound, and the king of Zhou and Princess Yanran on General Deng's ship are also safe. Unscathed, should be on the way back now."
"Okay!" Li Qing clapped his palms and smiled.

"Soon we will have double happiness in Dingzhou!" Lu Yiming laughed and said, "We welcome King Zhou to ascend the throne, and the lord is about to get married. It seems that I am busy."

Yan Nanfei said: "Lord Lu might as well leave these matters to Wei Gang, this person is very familiar with these matters."
There was laughter in the meeting hall, but at this time, Xiao Yuanshan, the patriarch of the Xiao clan who lived in the Dingzhou posthouse, was sitting on pins and needles, dejected.Many years have passed, and the former lord of Dingzhou returned to his hometown again, but things have changed.Once upon a time, I was calling the wind and rain in this land, pointing the country, but now, I can no longer find the traces I left in Dingzhou, and the traces I left in Dingzhou have been covered by Li Qing's Jiangmang. Without a trace, many Dingzhou people have even forgotten that there was a person like him who had been struggling against the barbarians in Dingzhou for several years.
With the turmoil on the mainland, the situation of competing in the world has become increasingly clear, and it is time for Youyan to choose. At this time, Youyan is caught between the two major forces, and she is completely involuntary.
