Chapter 217 Chapter 217
"The bandits are cunning. They run amok on the sea, and their whereabouts are hard to figure out. It is a bad idea to fight blindly like this. In the past few days, I have asked General Xu to assign some people to lead my soldiers and horses to familiarize themselves with the sea, and to observe the movements of the water bandits, and wait for them to return to the voyage. , we will formulate a detailed strategy plan."

Looking at the endless sea, Song Xiuzhu discussed with Xu Qiang.

"All according to General Song's orders."

Song Xiuzhu is both the governor of the left and the general of the town. As a general, Xu Qiang still likes to call him a general.

The title was just a title, and Song Xiuzhu never cared much about it. Seeing that Xu Qiang was very cooperative now, he couldn't help but relax a little bit. A cooperative partner always saves a lot of trouble.

The two discussed the matter of going to sea again, and then they separated to transfer their subordinates.

Going out to sea to fight water bandits, a red dress was too conspicuous, so it was rare for Song Yanluo to change out of the red dress and put on a gray soldier's uniform, mixing with the soldiers.

Seeing that Song Xiuzhu ordered people to go to sea with Xu Qiang's people to familiarize himself with the situation, he immediately stepped forward, "Brother, it's agreed, let me go too."

Naturally, the plan to get familiar with the sea is not a temporary decision, it is something that has been discussed long ago, so Song Yanluo has turned herself into one of them early on, and she is very afraid that her elder brother will throw her away Down.

Song Xiuzhu was already at a loss for Song Yanluo, who was watching him all the time. Hearing this sentence, he had no choice but to say, "Brother, when did you make a slip of the tongue and let you go, so I let you go."

As he said that, he began to distribute to her and the Song family army owned by her in the [-] households. Naturally, Ou Chengyi's [-]th household was also included.

There are a total of six ships going out to sea, and one ship can hold three hundred soldiers, half of them are soldiers of Xu Qiang, the other half are people brought by Song Xiuzhu, half of them are soldiers of the Song family, and half of them are soldiers of Ou Chengyi. Song Yanluo's [-] schools trained individually and assigned more.

Song Yanluo didn't object to this either. After all, she was familiar with the situation, rather than directly participating in the battle. What's more, it was only a matter of time before she returned to the voyage in three days to change her partner. She was also worried about leaving Song Xiuzhu alone on the shore.

Wen Shaohui wanted to take the opportunity to board the boat, but Song Xiuzhu said you were a civil servant and directly rejected it. In addition, Song Xiuzhu didn't board the boat himself, Wen Shaohui had to rest no matter how much he thought about it.

But it didn't matter, after all, he just wanted to find an excuse to familiarize himself with this area. Since he couldn't go there, browsing the information in the government office would have the same effect.

In this way, Song Xiuzhu led the remaining half of the soldiers and horses to stay on the shore, while Song Yanluo and Ou Chengyi led the other half of the soldiers and horses to the boat that went to sea.

It was already early winter at this moment, and although the sea breeze was not too biting on the face, it was still a bit chilly like a pinprick.

Just after leaving the harbor, the sea is calm, and the place where the eyes can see is boundless, and the blue sea and blue sky are connected into one piece in the invisible distance.

"My son in the capital city, you haven't seen the sea, right? Let me tell you, if you get up early tomorrow, the sunrise will be a beautiful sight, and you will never forget it. It's a beautiful scenery that you can't see in the capital city."

Ever since the boat sailed, Song Yanluo stood on the deck and looked into the distance, letting the wind make her clothes rustle.

Xu Wei is Xu Qiang's son, who is about the same age as Song Yanluo, and is considered a thousand household under his father's command. Naturally, this is different from the five-rank thousand household granted by Emperor Song Yanluo. This is just a small leader under the general in the army , and he has participated in many battles with water bandits in recent years.

When boarding the boat, the two leaders had already introduced each other. After the introduction, he saw Song Yanluo standing at the bow of the boat and looking into the distance. Seeing that she stood still for a long time, he couldn't help but drive away. mouth.

In Xu Wei's eyes, Song Yanluo's pink face and peach cheeks, at first glance, is a pampered young man in the capital city. I'm afraid he came to be gilded. After all, he is not uncommon, because the reinforcements sent by the capital city are not It was the first time, he had seen many people like this, but he was a little young and inexperienced back then, and he hadn't been able to stand up to his current position.

He doesn't rely on his father, he is actually a position exchanged for the military merit he earned.

Although in Xu Wei's eyes Song Yanluo was a son who came to be gilded, Xu Wei didn't preconceived not to look down on Song Yanluo, and his tone of voice was quite peaceful.

It is true that Song Yanluo has never seen the sea, but she is not a young master in the capital, but there is no need to mention such unimportant things.

"I have never seen the sea, but it looks very good now. I like the sense of expanse and freedom."

After working together for a long time, Song Yanluo naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye when the other party offered her an olive branch.

Xu Wei didn't expect Song Yanluo to say such a thing. He thought that all the sons and brothers in the capital were not easy to get along with, but he didn't expect this to be different. They became a little closer for a while.

"That's because you haven't seen it before, so you think it looks good. We are tired of watching it every day. Let me tell you..."

Xu Wei was a chatterbox at first, seeing that the other party was pretty good at the moment, he started to talk endlessly, while Song Yanluo, in addition to listening, also asked a few questions from time to time, and unconsciously learned a lot of information, while Xu Wei I think this is really someone who came to suppress bandits, look at how extensive this knowledge is.

The military commander was always very forthright, and after this conversation, Xu Wei already had Brother Song on the left and Brother Song on the right, and he was very acquainted.

The members of the Song Family Army have always followed suit. Seeing the words of their own family and their enthusiasm for calling each other brothers and sisters, they also quickly became one with the opponent's soldiers. For a while, it was as if they were an army.

The ships were not far away, and the Song family soldiers on the other two ships naturally learned from each other, and soon became one.

On the contrary, the group of soldiers led by Ou Chengyi always felt that they were from the capital city, and they had a sense of superiority, but luckily they didn't flinch, but they didn't get along as well as Song Jiajun and Chaozhou soldiers.

I was only familiar with the sea area, but I didn't want to return to the voyage on the third day. The ferocious water bandits surrounded six officers and soldiers in countless small boats. ambush.

Xu Wei immediately ordered six ships to form a diamond formation to protect their backs, and began to fight the water bandits.

Song Yanluo didn't expect the opponent to be so rampant at all, and directly attacked the officers and soldiers, "Has it always been like this?"

"It's not like this on weekdays, but in autumn and winter, because of the shortage of food, they will take the initiative to attack, and we are their stumbling block, so when they see us sending troops, they will launch a large-scale attack. After we are damaged by the attack, It would be much richer if they intercepted the merchant ship."
