"Report to the Lord, our army won a great victory. Except for the young leader of the thief, Song Chi, who escaped, everyone else was killed, but the food inside was also burned by the thief!"

Xu Tu's report made Liu Feng frown slightly, and the joy of completing the task was diluted a lot. This batch of grain is very important to the hungry people in Tangyuan Mansion. If it is gone, I am afraid that people will starve to death before the next batch of grain is transported.

"Return!"

"yes!"

The vast fleet slowly left the Yuwei River, followed the Wanshui River and went straight into the green water, then went upstream and returned to the dock of Yecheng South City. At this time, many large and small ships were docked around the dock, which almost covered the nearby river.

As soon as he got off the boat, at the city gate, Pang Bin and a large group of people came up.

"Congratulations to the lord for his victory!"

"A mere hundred thieves are nothing, everyone is here."

Liu Feng's eyes flashed across An Tai, Wang Zongyuan, Wen Tian and others.

"Report to the lord, everything is on the right track in Laiyang Mansion. We have nothing to do if we stay there. It just so happened that General Manager An was going to escort a batch of military rations, so we came with him."

Wang Zongyuan bowed and replied.

"Well, it's good to be here. Tang Yuan Mansion has been newly decided. Now everything is on Pang Bin alone. You can share the burden with him when you come."

"This is the matter of subordinates."

Wang Zongyuan's face was smiling.

Liu Feng looked at Pang Bin, "How is the ship recruitment matter doing?"

When Pang Bin heard this, he quickly stood up and replied: "At present, the ships that have collected enough to transport 30,000 troops."

"Start up, we don't have much food anymore. Within three days, we have to raise at least 50,000 ships."

Because of food, Liu Feng planned to attack Panhe Prefecture and Ningyang Prefecture located in the lower reaches of the Lushui River in advance. If the two prefectures were captured, a batch of grain would be obtained, and the subsequent grain shortage of Tangyuan Prefecture would be alleviated to a certain extent.

When I returned to the government office, there were already a group of maids busying themselves in the yard. These maids were undoubtedly coming with the grain transport troops of Antai, the logistics manager.

Just as Liu Feng was preparing a ship and preparing to go downstream to attack the two palaces.

In a mansion in Kyoto, a young man wearing a brocade robe with a white moon dragon pattern, a jade belt around his waist, and a fair skin was practicing boxing moves in the martial arts field.

His boxing skills were extremely strong and powerful. He practiced to the depths and suddenly punched him out!

Click!

A wooden stake as thick as a bowl in the martial arts training ground was hit in two pieces by this punch.

"Good boxing!"

Suddenly a voice came from the side.

The young man suddenly turned his head, then his face relaxed, "Mr. Wen, why are you here?"

A middle-aged man in a white robe came over and bowed and said, "I have come here to send a message to His Highness the Second Prince. Just now, the Ministry of War sent a military order. The army of the state will set off immediately at noon and the afternoon!"

"Are you finally going to set off? I'm so rusted that I'm almost rusted."

A glimmer flashed in the young man's eyes. He was one of the princes whom the second prince Li Jun, the current emperor, appointed by Emperor Gan to go to war with the army.

"Have you prepared for it quickly, now it's not far from You hour."

"Mr. Wen said, I will go and prepare immediately, and I will lose my companion first."

Li Jun said and left the martial arts training ground.

After a stick of incense, the second prince Li Jun, who had been put on armor, rode his mount, Zidian, hung a long sword on his waist, and led a team of guards to the camp of the Zhenguo Army.

The Zhenguo Army camp was built on the edge of the canal. Looking around, there were continuous camps on the shore.

In the military camp, countless flags were rushing in the air, and the sounds of horns and countless soldiers were practicing to shout, as if they were about to shake the clouds in the sky.

Although he had not arrived in the camp yet, when he watched from a distance, Li Jun felt a overwhelming solemn aura coming towards him, making him feel suffocated.

"The Zhenguo Army is worthy of being one of the most elite troops in the country, and it is indeed extraordinary."

Li Jun suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

"Your Highness, please look over there. Before the three armies moved, food and grass were ahead, and the food had already started to be shipped on board."

The middle-aged man with the surname Wen said in a direction.

On the dock in the distance, cars containing grain bags, soybeans, vegetables, bacon and other grains lined up in a long row that could not be seen at the end.

The rations that the 100,000 army needs to consume every day is a huge number. In order to collect this amount of food, Emperor Gan took out all the money from the treasury.

After watching for a while, Li Jun brought the guards into the military camp.

In the central army's tent, a middle-aged man wearing black armor was sitting in the middle of an iron case.

This man's facial features are tough, like a knife cut, with two sword eyebrows straight into his hair, and his long hair is neatly handled. He is the commander of the 100,000 soldiers to the army, the second-rank general of the country's capital, and the son of the Minister of the current dynasty Situ Chong.

"Second brother, you're late!"

Seeing Li Jun come in, sitting next to Situ Chong, a young man with a pair of phoenix eyes spoke.

"It's my third brother who came too early."

Li Jun glanced at the man, replied coldly, and then smiled at Situ Chong who was sitting in the first seat and said, "Uncle Situ, long time no see."

Situ Chong stood up, bowed his hand, and then pulled out a stiff smile, "Second Prince, please sit down, your highness, just call me the name of my minister directly, the word "Uncle", I can't afford it."

"Uncle is so serious. My father has already told us that when we arrive at the military camp, we are not princes, but a soldier under Uncle Situ. We must obey our uncle's instructions in everything!"

Situ Chong refused to say no and smiled and said nothing.

After Li Jun sat down, he looked around and said, "It seems that the eldest brother hasn't come yet. Could it be that he has forgotten it?"

"How is it possible? Even if the elder brother forgets, will the officials around him forget? I think it was intentional."

The young man with a phoenix-eyed eyes sitting opposite Li Jun said, and looked at Situ specifically. When he saw his old monk entering into meditation, he seemed to have not heard it, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

It was not until the hour of You that a fat man in a bright yellow robe rushed in from outside panting, "I have let everyone wait for a long time, some things have been delayed, and I am late."

Situ Chong raised his eyebrows and stood up and said, "Since the three high men are all here, let's go, send the orders to the soldiers, and send orders immediately, and the army will set off!"

······

As night fell, Liu Feng, who had quietly arrived here on the dock of Yecheng South City, asked the Jinyiwei to alert the surroundings to open the system and choose to receive the reward. The next moment, ten tooth ships slowly emerged from the water.

Although it is a small warship, it is five or six times larger than an ordinary fishing boat. The two-layer hull has baffles on all sides and small crossbows are fixed on the deck. This big guy that requires at least five people to control is quite powerful, and it can shoot through the enemy's hull and make it enter the water.

When he stepped on the hull, Liu Feng felt that the wooden board under his feet was very solid. When he tapped with his fingers, he felt as if he was hitting the metal plate. He guessed that it should be wood such as Tielli Wood. This kind of wood is hard, extremely heavy, and has a hardness that is no less than steel. It will not rot or deform if buried underground or soaked in water for a long time.

There are two rows of seats in the cabin at the bottom of the deck. Below the seats are pedal wheels. The sailors sit on them and step on them with their feet. There are also flywheel-type oars on both sides of the ship that can rotate quickly, and then drive the ship forward quickly. In this way, even if there is no wind, the ship can drive quickly!
