Chapter 181
Liang Xiao smiled.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely advise His Majesty, and I am at least [-]% sure to persuade the emperor. As for the king of Jiangdu, he is indeed more suitable than the king of Huainan in terms of the town, so I suggest that Lord Yan ask Jiangdu king to help out. But , Establishing a feudal clan is no better than going to war, and the prince of Jiangdu is not a good heir. If the king of Jiangdu is moved to Yue, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future, and it will not be beautiful to inflict disaster on yourself."

"My brother is not much better than Liu Jian." Liu Ling said bluntly.

"But there is no wise man like Weng Lord in Jiangdu Kingdom."

Liu Ling rolled his eyes. "You're teasing me again."

"No." Liang Xiao said solemnly, with a solemn expression. "The three caves of the cunning rabbit. Before thinking of advancing, think of retreating. Lord Weng has visited so many Hu merchants and knows a little about the general situation overseas. Why don't you camp overseas? The land of Minyue is far away from the imperial court and close to overseas. If you can manage it well, you can enter You can retreat, isn't it better than Huainan?"

Liu Ling narrowed his eyes, rolled his dark eyes a few times, pondered for a while, then nodded.

"Your plan is a good way to advance or retreat. I'm just worried that Minyue is barbaric and lowly. My father is used to the customs of Huainan, so he may not be willing to leave. Well, after I go back, I will tell him. If I can Yes, it is also a good choice."

"My Lord is wise." Liang Xiao stepped back, turned around and prepared to leave.

Liu Ling wrinkled his small nose and snorted: "Why are you hiding so far away, afraid that I will eat you? Come here and sit with me for a while."

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, sniffing the warm fragrance from his nose, feeling a little ready to move.Liu Ling dressed like this to see him, how could he not know Liu Ling's intentions.A young girl Huaichun, a teenager in love, he really wanted to sit there and kiss Fangze, but he didn't dare after all.

He touched his nose and said with a sneer: "Editing is not allowed."

……

Holding on to the railing, Huan Yuan looked at the slow-moving big boat in front of him, with worried eyes and frowning.

That was Liu Ju's boat, which was loaded with too many spoils. The big boat had a deep draft and moved very slowly.Small boats shuttled around it, like a group of small fish surrounding a dying monster, waiting to eat its corpse.

After several fruitless remonstrances, Liu Ju and Yu Shan still chose to take Songjiang.They are reluctant to part with these trophies, and they are reluctant to part with these ships.For Minyue, both are urgently needed supplies.Even ordinary soldiers don't want to go home empty-handed.

After everyone said their words, even Huan Yuan himself felt a little unsure.

Am I alone wrong?

Starting from Zhenze, they have already walked for a day, and they can enter the sea in half a day.Once in the sea, nothing can stop them from returning home.The county warships in Kuaiji had been snatched by them, and even the civilian boats were almost plundered. The Kuaiji soldiers could not go into the sea to pursue them, so they could only watch them go home.

Along the way, they also encountered some civilians who tried to intercept them.However, their strength is too weak, and they dare not confront the other ministries who are on both sides of the strait.Those powerful families were also worried about angering Yu Shan, so they stayed behind closed doors and waited for the crisis to pass.

It looks like everything is going well.Although there was a lot of delay, the result was acceptable.Huan Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the big boat in front suddenly made a muffled sound, shook violently, then creaked twice, and slowly turned sideways.Huan Yuan was taken aback, and a strong uneasiness flashed through his heart.He winked at Zhong Liqi and motioned him to ask.Zhong Liqi jumped into a small boat and rowed forward.

The big boat was already in chaos, Huan Yuan saw Liu Ju running out of the cabin, covering his clothes, looking around in a panic, beating his chest and feet, not knowing what he was shouting.Jing Zhao followed behind him, also with a disturbed expression on his face.He glanced this way, just in time to see Huan Yuan, and immediately turned his head away.

Amidst Liu Ju's yelling, he and several soldiers took off their coats and jumped into the water.

Huan Yuan became even more uneasy.Could it be that there is an obstacle in the water, blocking the big boat?

Before setting off, Yu Shan had sent someone to check the river surface, fearing that obstacles would be placed by someone, which would affect the passage of the big ship.However, the scouts were all in small boats, so they could only use the pennies in their hands to paddle in the water to ensure that there would be no particularly large things such as sunken ships hidden under the water.But the draft of the boat was limited, and the scouts didn't have time to investigate carefully, so the possibility of missing it was very high.

Once such a large ship runs aground in the river, it will seriously affect the passage of subsequent ships.Ships with plenty of provisions and booty can follow.If a ship leaks and sinks, the trouble will be even greater, and it will be tantamount to a disaster.

Huan Yuan didn't have time to wait for Zhong Liqi to return, so he ordered the warship to move forward and approach Liu Ju's big ship.

At this moment, Zhong Liqi came back, raised his neck and shouted, "General, the boat is leaking."

"The boat leaked? How did it leak?"

"There are iron spears and other things under the water, piercing the bottom of the ship, and the water has overflowed into the cabin. The sailors are trying their best to seal it, but the hole is huge, and the iron spear penetrated very deep. boat a way."

Huan Yuan was stunned as if struck by lightning.He raised his head, just in time to see the pale faces and dull eyes of Liu Ju and Jing Zhao.

The iron spear and nothing else can only explain one problem: this is someone's game, not bad luck.Breaking the ship with the iron spear planted on the bottom of the water is the first step, and the next attack is the focus.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Huan Yuan shouted loudly. "Change ship, change ship—"

"What—" Liu Ju heard Huan Yuan's yell from a distance, but couldn't hear what he was saying, so he threw himself on the side of the boat, stretched his neck, and yelled.

Huan Yuan was so anxious that he waved his arms vigorously, signaling Liu Ju to get off the boat quickly.The ship has sunk, and Liu Ju must hurry up and change ships to leave. This place will be besieged soon, and if he walks slowly, his life may be in danger.

After a lot of effort, Liu Ju finally understood what Huan Yuan meant, and hurriedly took the guards to change ships.There was a sudden chaos on and off the big ship.

Liu Ju's boat is a building boat from Wu State back then, which can carry three to four hundred people.To transfer all these people to small boats, at least twenty or thirty empty boats are needed.Where can I find so many empty boats at a time, I can only let the nearest boat come forward to pick them up, each boat picks up three or five people, and transfers them like ants moving house.

A big ship was blocked, it was a bone stuck in the throat, blocking the entire fleet, breaking the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in a short period of time, and everyone began to realize that the road home became more difficult .

……

Li Jiao immediately stood on the low slope, holding the reins in his hand, the horseman stood up, neighing in the wind.

"Attack—"

The battle flags waved, the war drums thundered, and the people did not move, but the momentum had already made the Fujian and Yue soldiers who were responsible for the cover task and marching along the river frightened.

There was no rush, no surprise attack, and the soldiers organized by the tribe of two thousand Wu family slaves were divided into ten small teams, and under the command of the drums, they strode forward along the fields in the fields.

The two-foot-wide path can just accommodate five people walking side by side.There are five people in a team, lined up in a neat line, shouting from time to time, and the momentum is strong.

There were still more than a thousand steps between the two armies, and the Minyue soldiers had already felt the killing intent.The river behind them was in chaos, and the flooded boat was lying across the river. They already knew that something was wrong.Seeing the enemy approaching, they had no way to retreat, so they could only brace themselves to prepare for the battle, beat the drums, and signaled their companions in front and behind to move closer to them to protect Yu Shan and Liu Ju's boat.

Prior to this, Liang Xiao and the others had inquired clearly that Yu Shan had arranged a thousand soldiers on both sides of the river as guards to prevent them from being attacked.After Li Jiao got the accurate information, he arranged all 2000 people in Jiangbei, and it was several miles away from the riverside, so as not to be discovered by these Fujian and Yue soldiers.Now that the big ship was blocked, they rushed out.

Two hundred steps apart, the two sides stopped and lined up in the open space by the river.Formation is like the roar of animals before a duel, it is a time to boost morale and compare each other's momentum.Both sides tried their best to set up the formation as squarely as possible, and set up the battle drums loudly, hoping to deter the other side.At this time, whether the weapons and battles are clear, whether the team is neat, and whether the spirit is positive, can affect the morale of both sides.

In terms of weapons and equipment, the two sides are almost the same.The equipment of Fujian and Yue soldiers was very shabby, and the soldiers organized by these domestic slaves were not much better. Probably because each family had different aesthetic concepts, the clothes were colorful, and the styles of armor were also strange.Not uniform.

In terms of orderliness, the two sides are similar, at least in the eyes of Liang Xiao and others, they are brothers and sisters.

In terms of mental outlook, the gap between the two sides was immediately apparent.The Minyue soldiers were eager to go home and had no intention of fighting, but the domestic slave soldiers wanted to take back their own property. They were full of fighting spirit. If it weren't for the restraint of the military order, they might have rushed in.At this moment, with cold eyes and gnashing teeth, he looks like a beast.

The biggest gap is the numerical advantage.The Minyue Army's thousands of people stretched for several miles, and it was difficult to gather in place in a short period of time. As soon as the two sides opened up their battles, the Minyue Army immediately fell into a disadvantage. Looking at the knights who had made them fearful, no matter how weak their momentum was by three points .

With Li Jiao's order, the two Lang officials each led their headquarters to fight, while the others stood still and stabilized their positions.

The Minyue army seemed to be a little hesitant, and did not send people to fight in time. They watched their opponents approaching step by step, and then put on a defensive formation.

"These bastards are sometimes afraid." Li Jiao smiled triumphantly. "A Xiao, go and show them some strength. Be careful, don't get too close. Shu Yun, protect A Xiao, don't be careless, otherwise I will never let you go."

Li Shuyun laughed loudly: "Just be afraid, these barbarians dare to come, I will kill them all."

Li Jiao also looked very relaxed and waved his hand.Liang Xiao urged the horse out of the battle, and under the protection of Li Shuyun and others, he came to the front of the battle.Fifty paces away from the Minyue army, he turned his horse's head and galloped west, and caught sight of a long-looking officer on the other side. This man only had a half-worn leather armor on his body, and there were no personal guards around him. , was shouting loudly with one of his subordinates, as if arguing about something, when he saw Liang Xiao and his party, he raised his head in surprise.

Liang Xiao didn't say anything else, he drew the bow as fast as lightning, and shot an arrow.

The arrow shot sixty paces, and the arrow pierced through the man's leather armor and came out through the body.

The pawn fell to the ground with a bang, causing a commotion.Lang Guan, who was leading the troops approaching, had been prepared for a long time. Seeing that Liang Xiao had been hit by an arrow, he shouted with joy: "Ah Xiao, thank you very much." attack--"

The soldiers behind him shouted in unison and ran wildly.Lang Guan kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and the horse rushed in front of the Minyue army with a few vertical leaps. With a flash of his halberd, he killed one soldier, pushed aside another soldier's horse, and urged the horse to rush in.
