Chapter 338: Using the Water Master
Xuan Shaoning's memory has a lot of content about the capital, and joy, anger, sorrow and happiness occupy a part of it. One of the contents is about the geographical location of the capital. The inland river that runs through the capital will never be forgotten. It originates from the top of the mountain and then flows through the capital, then passes through several cities in a tortuous manner, and finally merges into the sea.
This river has different names in different cities, and is called Huangshui in the capital. Some of the remaining twelve states in the Central Plains have given other names. The name is just a code name. What is important is the direction of the river. If you go directly from the estuary of the sea, you can directly take a boat north to reach the capital of the Liang Dynasty.
Originally, the twelve states in the Central Plains were all in the hands of the Liang Dynasty, and the entrances and exits of the sea were always controlled by the court. All the navy of the Liang Dynasty concentrated in Duzhou, which was closest to the entrances and exits of the sea. However, when the Xia Tang and Xiliang coalition forces attacked before, all the twelve states in the Central Plains fell in the hands of the Xia Tang, including Duzhou.
Duzhou gathered all the navy troops of the Liang Dynasty, but they had not experienced many battles over the past century, because the enemy they had to face was the Lower Tang on the sea. The territory of the Lower Tang was divided into two parts: land and sea. The one on the land was guarded by the Shensha Tuqi, who was originally stationed in Jinchang City, and the one on the sea was handed over to the Duzhou navy. To be honest, Tang had a navy with strong combat power, but the previous battles were always carried out by the land army, and the navy never had the opportunity to show its abilities.
Speaking of the Liang Dynasty navy in Duzhou, even though they were trained every day, they lacked actual combat, and it was still unknown how their combat capabilities were. The ones who captured Duzhou City were not the navy of Xia Tang but the cavalry of Xia Tang and Xiliang. These Liang Dynasty naval generals had no chance to take action and became prisoners. Xia Tang happened to have all these warships taken in.
Since then, the entrances and exits of Duzhou have become the main transportation route for Xia Tang. It is really puzzling that Qi Diao Lezheng has never used such a good location. Only he himself knows the reason.
The situation changed after the Liang Dynasty raided Huazhou City and massacred all the soldiers of Tang who were originally stationed in Huazhou City. Qi Diaolezheng finally wanted to use his trump card.
Under the sunny sky, the guards at the head of Duzhou city saw a fleet of black ships on the sea. Excitement and expectation flashed in their eyes. Of course, these guards were all downtown Tang people. When they saw the big flag of downtown Tang floating on the sea, they were naturally full of expectations. As any ordinary downtown general, they knew that the Khan had finally used this most powerful pawn.
The more precise expression of this fleet is the fleet, with a total of sixteen ships, all of which docked on the sea outside Duzhou City. At this moment, Linghu Chao, as the garrison of Duzhou City, was waiting there before the fleet was completely docked. What he was waiting for was the president of the navy of Xia Tang.
After the largest main ship approaches the dock, a ten-stage ladder slows down
After slowly letting go, he landed on the shore, a heroic general followed the four men from the ship with a full of vigor. Two of the four were the personal bodyguards of the general, and the other two were familiar: a weak scholar with a white face and a weak scholar with a cold air all over his body. Along the way, the general had never looked at others, and his entire attention was on Linghu Chao.
"Linghu Chao meets the commander!"
Linghu Chao knelt down, and the soldiers behind him immediately knelt down. The man in front of them was the only naval commander in Xia Tang, and his command had all the naval commander of Xia Tang. The naval commander who was walking in the front had a face of a Liang Dynasty man, with a blue face and a cold face. One eye was as big as a bucket, while the other eye was completely covered by hair. His armor was different from the brown color of the ordinary army of Xia Tang, but was full of blue, looking majestic and mysterious.
"Mr. Linghu is out, hurry up and get up." The navy commander's voice was calm, powerful, and a little hoarse, which was very consistent with his appearance and temperament.
"The commander, you might as well enter Duzhou City for a rest. The wedding banquet has been arranged at the end."
"No need today. When our army returns from victory, there is time to drink with Lord Linghu. I have two things to come. One is the letter from King Khan. You should have received it. Duzhou City is the backing of my navy. Please support me as the navy. The second is my private matter. Someone knows the navy's battle on the river, but I also ask Lord Linghu to convey my meaning. All he can do is cooperate and don't think about making small moves behind my back, otherwise my navy will not be easy to mess with!"
After saying this, the navy commander looked at the person who looked like a scholar beside him and said, "Is there anything else that Xiaoxiang needs to give?"
This man with a pale face and no beard was Dugu Ju, a young prince from Xia Tang. This time he came with the navy and was ordered by Qi Diao Lezheng. He now has a new identity - the navy commander. This position was sent by Xia Tang to imitate the Liang Dynasty's military supervision system, but they had restricted the power of this position, and all the supervisor could do was supervise food and grass.
"Mr. Xiao Tuo, I must have known more clearly about the massacre of the Liang Dynasty's soldiers of the Tang Dynasty than us. What a shame? The Communist Party has only had three meetings in the past century. This time, the Liang Dynasty, who claims to be a civilized country, did it himself. The warriors of our Tang Dynasty cannot sacrifice in vain!" Dugu said indignantly: "So King Khan finally planned to use the powerful navy of Tang to teach the people of the Liang Dynasty a lesson."
"I have no worries about the little prime minister's commander in this battle." The navy commander leaned slightly towards Dugu Ju, and then said to another person standing beside him: "Does Lord Linghu know this person?"
Linghu Chao nodded, wasn't the person in front of him the leader of the Chiyan tribe, one of the six tribes of the Tang Dynasty.
Long Wen. "The halberd is broken and the sand is sunken with the green lamp is resentful, the mirror shadow of Cangjiang River is shadowed at night; the sword marks are pure and the red moon is smelly, and the six tribes have no trace to take lives. If the six tribes take action, the commander will have a better chance of winning this battle."
Long Wen smiled on his blue-gray face, and he said quietly: "Mr. Xiao Tuo is really a bit ridiculous. Chi Yan is just a shameful act, in order to solve some small problems for the army."
Linghu Chao nodded. He didn't want to keep looking at Long Wen's blue-gray dead face. He was only ten out of ten iron-blooded soldier. He always believed in real swords and guns. He always didn't bother with these secret assassinations. For the sake of the navy commander, Linghu Chao must show enough respect and cooperation.
"I will tell you the general if you say the commander. Please rest assured."
"That's good, don't waste time here, let's set off immediately!"
The navy commander turned around and walked back to the ship quickly. Not long after, the fleet set sail again, and began to go north along the river along the waterway, heading towards their destination. Linghu Chao watched the fleet go far away and immediately returned to his official office and wrote a letter to the commissar. He passed it to Wu Weihuo, who was still in Pingzhou at the fastest speed.
"Entertainment Father, our successive defeats, must have been furious."
"You still don't know about King Khan. The news of his defeat came. He never broke out in front of the ministers of the court. If you want to say anything, it is that King Khan will definitely speak in a strange and unpredictable tone, and he is a vengeful person. Isn't he going to send a navy?"
"Entertainment Father!" Jin Chongwu lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you be afraid of being heard and spread to the Khan's ears when talking about the Khan like this?"
Wu Weihou was still wearing a mask when facing Jin Chongwo. His eyes narrowed, and Jin Chongwo knew that Wu Weihou was laughing.
"You have a look at this first!"
Jin Chongwu took the letter handed over by Wu Wei, and immediately judged from the handwriting that it was from Linghu Chao. "Uncle Linghu's handwriting is so distinctive. He rarely writes letters. Once he writes, it will be..." Before Jin Chongwu finished speaking, his face changed a little. This change was not surprise or doubt, but a little playful. Then he held up the letter and sent it to Wu Wei's inquiry look.
"You have seen that King Khan has sent a navy fleet. Their goal is to go up the river and directly attack the capital of the Liang Dynasty. All we have to do is to cooperate with each other without dragging us back." Wu Weihuo took the last few words very seriously.
"Entertainment father, he is really a little petty. Everyone has gained fame through military merits. Why is he just like a sissy?" Jin Chongwu said in a contemptuous tone.
"Why did King Khan say that we will do it? As for him, you will experience it after you have been in contact with him for a long time in the future, otherwise he will not be called Yong Wuya."
