I have a fortune book

Chapter 255

Standing on the bow of the boat, Zhou Bai was taken aback when he saw the white flag raised by Dingguo's flagship, so decisive?

Because under the careful defense of the flagship itself, most of the jumpers on the ship are still not on board, and the few who are on board are still in the stage of gaining a firm foothold and supporting their companions.

But no matter what, the surrender of the flagship is always a good thing, and there will be no more waves in the follow-up war.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, if the flagship is captured, the overall situation is settled."

"This should be the decision of Liu Rengui, Admiral of the Navy, and only he has such courage."

"Late will change. Please send someone to take over Dingguo's flagship as soon as possible, and then persuade the rest of the warships to surrender." Sailing captain Li Bao excitedly congratulated at first, and then remonstrated.

Zhou Bai nodded slightly: "Gao Hu leads people on board first, controls the situation, remembers to maintain respect for Admiral Liu, and don't act impulsively."

Even though they were in the river gorge, the river where the main battlefield was located was still vast, and most of the soldiers on the Dingguo warship could see the white flag flying on their flagship.

"Surrender will not be killed, and those who raise the white flag will not die."

The slogan shouted by the Anbei Army before is still lingering in my ears. Since the admiral said to surrender, let's vote...

Immediately after the flagship, one after another the Dingguo warships raised their white flags. Many people have witnessed the scene of the demon army jumping and bloody seizing the ship.

In the evening, after focusing on besieging and killing a group of diehards, Luanjiao Gorge finally calmed down.

Only more than thirty warships broke through the siege, left the battlefield in time, and fled towards the waters of Dingzhou County without looking back.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lei Haomiao's control over the navy has not only been limited to high-level officers, but also lower-level officers. Many ship captains were arranged by him, and they are all young members of the Lei clan.

Those warships that desperately wanted to escape must be controlled by the Lei family.

The Battle of Luanjiao Gorge ended with the complete victory of the Anbei Navy, which also opened the final prelude to the destruction of Dingguo.

The fishing fire is lit, and the candles are brilliant.

Even though there is no full moon, hundreds of warships formed by fishing fire dragons still illuminate both sides of Luanjiao Gorge brightly.

At the end of the battle, the hisses of the spirit monkey mandrill and the dragon snake python sounded as usual.

In the spacious room belonging to Zhou Bai alone, the flagship of the Anbei Navy, several people were drinking tea silently.

"After preliminary reorganization, the current fleet has a total of 320 intact warships, including five medium-sized dragon ships, ten small dragon ships, [-] battleships, and [-] small warships such as walking boats and boats."

"In terms of personnel, more than [-] naval veterans and more than [-] infantry have been added."

"Three thousand of us died in battle..."

Hearing that Li Bao was about to report the battle losses of both sides, Zhou Bai frowned, and raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

There is no one else, because the rest of the people in the room are Liu Rengui and other senior officials of the new precipitation division.

"I've heard about Admiral Liu's name for a long time, and seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation." Zhou Bai looked at Liu Rengui who was sitting at the bottom drinking tea and said nothing, and first broke the deadlock in the conversation.

Liu Rengui is old enough to know his destiny, his temples are grizzled, and he has just experienced an unprecedented fiasco today, so of course he is depressed and lacks energy.

But when he sits there, he has a self-contained demeanor, which makes people look twice unconsciously.

"A soldier's horse leather shroud is an honor, and it is the same in the navy, so there is no need for Bo Jun to shy away from anything."

"If you invited me to come, there must be arrangements, so please speak up." Liu Rengui replied in an orderly manner.

His back was still straight, and seeing Zhou Bai started the conversation, the decadence on his body was swept away, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

This kind of behavior can be regarded as making Zhou Bai feel a little more at ease, which means that it is obvious that Liu Rengui still wants to serve in the navy.

"From now on, set up the Ningjiang Fleet of the Anbei Navy, with Li Bao as the admiral, and how about the old general as the deputy admiral of the Anbei Navy?"

Zhou Bai had just finished speaking, Liu Rengui hadn't responded yet, but Li Bao was red-faced and anxious.

The admiral of the navy is the highest military position in the navy. As the commander-in-chief of a fleet, he is truly high-ranking and powerful.

In terms of the size of the Dingzhou navy, the admiral was the fourth grade in Daxu, and Liu Rengui had considerable independence when Lei Haomiao was the governor.

Li Bao knelt down on the ground in a daze, panicked and said: "I beg your majesty to take back your order, the humble position is not enough, it is really unbearable to be an admiral."

Liu Rengui left his seat at the right time, took two steps, bowed and said: "Uncle Rongrong, Li Bao, I understand that during the Xiangxing period, he made great achievements in suppressing the chaos of Dingding and Daishui Bandits, and his talent is worthy of great responsibility."

Li Bao first glanced at Liu Rengui gratefully, then hammered his chest hard, expressing his sincerity, and said: "Your Majesty, if an unknown person like me is the admiral, how can the navy brothers obey me. "

"The damage to the reputation of the minister is small, but it can delay the important affairs of the country and live up to the trust of the emperor, but it is impossible to die. Please be aware of it!"

Zhou Bai secretly nodded in his heart. In fact, he knew a long time ago that with Liu Rengui's qualifications and ability, he must be reused in this investment.

Deliberately appointing two people, one principal and one deputy, is just a test to see their character and whether they can recognize their own position.

"There is no need for the two generals to delay, I agree, to set up the first and second fleets."

"The admiral of the First Fleet is General Liu, who uses regular tactics as usual, relying on the giant crossbow of a large ship... Li Bao is the admiral of the Second Fleet, focusing on jumping and swinging operations, relying on soldiers to meet the board... "

"In the battle on the big river, the two fleets jointly operate. In normal times, the first fleet is temporarily stationed on the main road of Ningjiang to patrol, while the second fleet patrols the inland rivers of the tributaries of Ningjiang."

Zhou Bai's appointment and explanation fully reflected his good intentions and long-term plans, so how could the two of them refuse again.

"Liu Rengui, Admiral of the First Fleet, pays homage to Your Majesty..."

"The attack on Dingguo's ports along the river, and the attack on Dingxi Navy's small actions, please take care of Admiral Liu later."

The next day, with the Fish and Dragon flag flying, the Anbei Navy, which was fully reorganized, headed southward toward the Ning River.

……

The news that Zhou Bai appeared in Ningjiang and personally led the grassroots fleet to win the great victory in Chaojiao Gorge soon spread to the other two countries.

It wasn't that Lu Ding and Lei Haomiao didn't want to hide it, but that the news of the great victory had spread throughout Anbei and the front lines just after the war ended.

The secret agents of Xuanyiwei lurking in the two countries have recruited a lot of non-staff members of various religions and nine streams, and they are top-notch in spreading "rumors".

Furthermore, this is not a false rumor. Faced with inquiries from the gentry and nobles, the government has no confidence to refute.

In Dingxi, in the camp outside Menjuguan in the border town, Lu Dingzheng held a meeting to discuss the great victory of Luanjiao Gorge.

Because of being blocked in a closed city for a long time, many ministers of civil and military affairs have been upset. Facing the sudden bad news, they don't think about solving the problem, but complain, blame, and quarrel.

"The Dingguo Navy has completely inherited the main body of the Dingzhou Navy. It is so powerful that it is a waste to lose like this!"

"Who would have known that the Dragon King of Ningjiang would go to heaven to report on his duties again, and the group of beasts in Chaojiao Gorge don't know what is good or bad."

"What does Lei Haomiao do? Liu Rengui has served as the admiral of the Navy for ten years. He has not been replaced since he was established."

"At the beginning, I said that I should borrow the boat of the National Navy, why bother to gnaw hard bones here..."

Zheng, suddenly, the sound of drawing a sword came from inside the tent.

Everyone looked up, and it turned out that it was Lu Ding in military uniform, who pulled out his sword and cut off the corner of the table.

"The minister waits for capital punishment!"

Seeing the courtiers knelt down in fear, Lu Ding finally let out some anger.

"Since you can't discuss anything, just listen."

"The order is that the navy should try to avoid direct combat, but it must not allow it to capture its own important ports."

"Follow-up troops and equipment supplements are in place, and we will close the general offensive immediately, open up new roads, and divide the troops at the same time..."

When the generals were ordered to leave one after another, leaving only a few confidantes, Lu Ding's tough and heroic appearance finally showed a bit of exhaustion and worry.

Zhou Bai's progress was so fast that he was a little out of breath. Everyone knew that Dingdong was unified, and then Dingxi.

Once upon a time, the two called Dingzhou Shuangjiao together, each accumulating strength in a corner, and then conquering the city and conquering the territory, establishing a mansion to establish its own power. .

In fact, it was fine until Zhou Bai captured Biancheng County, but since Biancheng County, which was regarded as a burden, became a nail in the rear, Lu Ding was a little uneasy.

After successive national establishments and comparisons of national strengths, Lu Ding agreed that Zhou Bai temporarily overwhelmed him, but he never thought that he would fail.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, clan elders, priests, and even ancestor Tuomeng have all told Lu Ding that he is Dingzhou's destiny Qianlong.

Accumulate the momentum and gain momentum, and live a smooth life... well, except for Zhou Bai.

To this day, Lu Ding really smelled the taste of failure, and Zhou Bai suppressed all arrangements and moves ahead of time.

That strange ichthyosaur will one day swallow the so-called destiny of Dingzhou.

"Master Xie, is there a chance?" Lu Ding sat on the expensive soft chair brought from home, huddled behind the sand table of the map, and asked without thinking.

The person called Xieshi is a dragon-supporting warlock like Bu Yuanzi, named Xielong.

When Lu Ding fell into the water when he was young, he happened to notice the spirit of the hidden dragon, so he decided to help the dragon.

He was dressed in a gray robe, which seemed very low-key, but looking at the respectful appearances of the other confidants, he obviously couldn't keep a low profile.

Facing the predicament, Xie Long couldn't relax as before. He was sweating profusely, and his hands in his long sleeves were trembling.

This is not because of Lu Ding's coercion, but because he just borrowed the host to ask questions, capture a trace of luck, and try his best to deduce and calculate.

If the people in the tent looked carefully, they would find a few wisps of gray hair on the back of his head.

Xie Long took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said back: "Return to your lord, vitality is in the south as well as in the north."

"Master Jie, come quickly." Lu Ding heard this, and immediately sat up straight.

Xie Long has been in touch with Lu Ding since he was a child, and he is trusted by Long Qi, so he is less suppressed.

I saw him popping up a mirror screen at random, which showed the scene of the capital city of the Nanjin Kingdom being breached and the King Jin burning himself to death... Finally, it was Yinshan Mountain.

On the mountain, black people gather and connect to the sky, and there are herds of cattle and sheep at the foot of the mountain. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry gallop to and fro, and countless grassland herdsmen cheer for it.

This is the enthronement ceremony of Jin King Hu Yanhe, the only co-lord of the Kingdom of Jin. His sweeping gesture on the grasslands made all the ministries come to surrender and present gifts.

"I see that the Jin Kingdom in the north is getting better and better. The vitality is in the north. It is to capture the border towns as soon as possible, open up the grassland roads, and form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom." Xie Long pointed to the powerful cavalry group of the Jin Kingdom, and said solemnly.

The military strength of the grassland cavalry made Lu Ding nod involuntarily, but when the mirror screen was broken, he calmed down again and signaled Xielong to continue.

Will Biancheng County be defeated this time?

Many generals who experienced the collapse of the former army did not have confidence. In fact, as a monarch, he did not have much confidence. Even after fully preparing, the odds of winning in the push were [-]% higher.

"The vitality is in the south, and it is Daizhou."

In the middle of speaking, Xie Long took two steps back and continued to plead guilty: "If you can't capture the border city and gain King Jin's trust, it will only be a matter of time before the three counties of Dingxi are lost."

"Daizhou is weak, and there are no strong men born, but the king is a great man, and Dingxi's military power is at its peak. Give up casting the state's tripod and the orthodox kingly way, or gain a chance in Daizhou..."

Xie Long's words were really a bit too advanced. In the absence of any loss in the land of the three counties, he was planning to abandon the land of the state.

At that time, even if we start a foundation in Daizhou, will it really last long?

It's just drinking poison to quench thirst and avoiding it for a while. It fits the idea of ​​not being a "right king" if you don't cast a state tripod.

Therefore, even a few confidants who have always respected Xie Long could not help but glare at this moment.

Only Lu Ding's face remained unchanged, his body became weak again, after calm thinking, going south to Daizhou might really be a way out.

The Lu family can only be regarded as a fake family, and the bad luck that its blessed land has nurtured has not yet been made up for.

The family needs him to maintain the continuation of the Yangshi foundation, otherwise the family will be difficult to achieve.

"No matter how much you pay, you must send people to the Kingdom of Jin... In addition, resources and manpower have begun to enter Daizhou."

"This is top secret, and other subjects are not allowed to know, and the specific matters are also handled by you."

……

A great victory in Chaotic Jiaoxia can make Dingxi go to war and change the country's major policy.

How much impact should it have on the mainland of Dingguo? It can be said that it is a dead end.

On February 26, the news reached Fumin City, Dingjun's morale was unstable, and the will of all the troops to stick to the isolated city collapsed completely, and Lei Zhen could not suppress it.

Lou Jinpeng seized the opportunity and ordered to attack the city. Even though the preparations were not complete, the army's popularity was changing, and Lei Zhen was still forced to withdraw the army the next day.

By the time the Ding army completely withdrew from Fumin City, only 2 of the [-] army remained, and he abandoned nearly [-] troops along the way.

But who knows, most of the earth fortresses on the way to Fancheng have been captured by Li Dingguo at some point.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the frontline army had only 1 horses, and after spreading out, it would not be able to form a legion offensive, I am afraid that Lei Zhenzhen would not be able to withdraw from Fancheng.

Only a hundred miles away, Lei Zhen walked for three days, and the 5 horses lost another [-], and all the cavalry were also exhausted by Chu Kai's pursuit.

Among them, there are many silver dragon cavalry who were once regarded as reliance, in order to protect the main force and retreat, they sacrificed in vain.

But you thought it would be safe to hide in Fancheng, but you didn't.

Lei Haomiao strictly ordered him to stand firm, because in front of Dingzhou City, there is only Fancheng, the last barrier.

"The lonely general will use the manuscripts of the past dynasties in Dingzhou to sacrifice, please help Chitian... The generals will be blessed with great luck, which will definitely inspire their fighting spirit..."
