Four hundred and twentieth chapters surging wind and clouds

"Criminal, let's listen to Eunuch Xiao's words." Gu Yun stopped Li Jicao. He was very interested in the military intentions of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

No matter where the news comes from, he is willing to listen to it. As for the authenticity, he will naturally distinguish it.

"Food and grass, I have verified all the information collected by the inner guards during this period. Large-scale food and grass mobilization is often a precursor to the movement of troops, and the transportation of food and grass is extremely labor-intensive. As long as I explore it carefully, there will naturally be clues." Xiao Yi kept it a secret and said nothing in one breath.

"Where has the food and grass gone?" Li Jicao cursed inwardly, really pretending to be profound.

"First, there is a large amount of food and grass in Jiangyin County." Xiao Yi glanced at Gu Yun. That was the real master, and he had to attract his attention.

"Jianyin County is an important town with a large number of troops, and the surrounding grain production is high. Every autumn harvest, a large number of grain and grass are stored in the warehouse. Isn't this reliable?" Li Jicao was not a wine bag, but transported grain and grass to Jiangyin City. This is the case after the autumn harvest every year.

Jiangyin is an important town. We must be guarded against the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty in Jiangbei and the Suzhou area in Jiangnanyue. It is normal for too many soldiers and more food.

"Not bad! Not worthy of your support." Gu Yun also broke his silence. This alone could not be confirmed at all.

"What about Shexian, the second one?" Xiao Yi took off the whisk and gently waved it, full of confidence.

"She County? Is it going to attack Nanyue?" Li Jicao immediately understood what Xiao Yi meant.

She County is located on the border between Southern Tang and Nanyue. If it breaks through the defense of the South Vietnam border, it can directly point to Jiande and threaten Muzhou. Moreover, from She County to Muzhou, there are waterways, which can flow downstream and reduce logistics pressure.

Once Muzhou is taken down, it will be only a hundred miles away from Hangzhou, and Nanyue will be in danger!

"Is the news accurate?" Gu Yun's face under the hat changed constantly. He was familiar with the world and of course he knew the intention of the Southern Tang Dynasty to station troops in She County.

Unexpectedly, the king of Jiangnan actually played a big game of chess and wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate the hidden dangers behind it.

Gu Yun felt that Xiao Yi's inference was fine. If he were Li Yu, he should have wanted to eliminate the threat behind it. After all, there was no chance of winning when crossing the river and fighting with the Song Dynasty.

"Absolutely accurate, most of the food and grass in Raozhou and Xinzhou are being transported to She County, and it should be almost done now. It is very secretive, but it can't be hidden from our family." Xiao Yi was content with his serene. He had forgotten that the original intention of the king Li Yu to hand over the inner guard to him was not to be scammers.

"If it were Jiangyin, it was also to prepare for war. This time, it was a two-pronged approach, and Nanyue would be in danger." Gu Yun said softly.

The biggest trouble in Nanyue is that it lacks depth. Once it takes two steps and advances quickly, it can reach the vicinity of Hangzhou in a short time and cut off the connection between the court and the local government.

"We must stop them!" Gu Yun made up his mind and could not place his hopes on Nanyue. I don't know if they had noticed the military intentions of the Southern Tang. Otherwise, once the first wave was not blocked, Hangzhou would be in danger.

"This..." Xiao Yi spread his hands and he was only a eunuch with the inner guard in his hand. He found out the news and assassinated a man. He was not very problematic. He had not survived enough to stop the army.

The most active person in the process of preparing for war is Lin Zhaoqing. No matter how arrogant Xiao Yi is, he must stand aside when he sees such a killer who crawls out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

"Why, let's make a divisive plan?

"Li Jicao was also worried. The few people under his command were all scrambling on the river. Not to mention not being able to rebel with him, even if you listen to him, it would not make much sense.

"It's too late." Xiao Yi cursed in his heart. This prince is really not a thing. He must have been to this plan of disagreement. The one who is disagreement must be between the king and Lin Zhaoqing. Why don't he ask him to keep the matter in the palace?

His army is about to set off for war. Isn’t this a joke to tell me about the plan of disagreement?

"You are ready first, contact your confidants, and wait for my news, I have to go back to Jiangbei." Gu Yun couldn't sit still. He couldn't make a decision for such a big thing.

He was here to scare these bullshit princes and eunuchs from the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, he really had limited authority and had to operate the big guys behind him.

"I'll give it to my first lord!" Li Jicao stood up and wanted to cross the river, but he was the most useful general of the navy.

"Okay! Eunuch Xiao, there will be a date later!" Gu Yun did not refuse and bowed and said goodbye to Xiao Yi directly.

After a stick of incense, dozens of riders left the manor and headed straight to the riverside.

Xiao Yi was unwilling to leave, and he wanted to relax here. How could he have such great contributions today be in vain? Unfortunately, he couldn't drink the wine without Li Jicao's instructions, so he waited here and after sending the first adult, he always had to come back.

When Xiao Yi thought of Gu Yun returning to Jiangbei, he couldn't help but feel worried. He didn't know what would happen next and what he needed to do. Baby, he definitely wanted it, but if he had to pay for it, he couldn't afford the price.

In fact, three days ago, Xiao Yi discovered the matter of tucking grain in She County, and he hesitated. He knew very well the significance behind this matter. Li Jicao had asked him to investigate it. If this matter was spread, the Song Dynasty would definitely not sit idly by. Once the Song army came south, war would inevitably arise.

In the end, he couldn't help but be tempted by his treasure. If he didn't care for himself, he would be punished by heaven and earth. Even if the Song Dynasty came to the south and even if the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Xiao Yi would not be much worse by virtue of his effectiveness.

Moreover, with that treasure, he can live a life of many wives and concubines and children and grandchildren. How could he be like this now, a eunuch who serves alone?

When Gu Yun stepped on the clutch prepared by Li Jicao for him, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were covered with clouds, thousands of miles away.

Murong Yanzhao stood on the flagship and directed the navy to slowly come out of the water camp and move forward in a formation.

The flagship under the seat is the only four-story boat, with a large flag on it and the word Murong fluttering in the wind.

On the left and right of the flagship, there is a three-story ship, connected by iron chains. The three warships are walking side by side, slowly heading towards the other side of the river. The entire river surface, such a combination of warships, consisting of twelve groups, with Zeng Pin fonts.

Crashing the boat and cruising in it, waiting for an opportunity to move. As for the light boat, on the outside, beware of everything that may happen.

"Do your best, let the destiny be the navy, and the navy attack!" Yang Shifan stood on the shore. He was not sure about the Great Song Navy who was with him, but he still had to fight. Even if he could not stop the other party from crossing the river, he would take a bite of meat.

The war drums were beating, and the Nanchu Navy also came out of the water camp. Compared with the mighty and simple nature of the Song Navy, they were much more messy. Warships of various sizes were arranged in five rows, like five sharp knives, penetrated straight into the enemy.

The jumping camp where Li Jilong is located is on one of the group of tower ships. Their mission is to launch a battle of the boarding. The whole of three large ships is as stable as Mount Tai on the river surface. Even Li Jilong, who can't even water at all, will not be able to do so.

I didn't feel panic, I was just a little dizzy.

Wang Ba held the gilded sword and leaned against the cabin to rest. He also needed to accumulate strength for the next battle, after all, it was not as good as on land.

"Sir, get up quickly, it's very close!" Li Jilong looked at the fleets of both sides getting closer and closer, his heart was almost at his throat. He held his hands with the spear, sweat poured on, and kept grabbing the cloak to wipe it.

"It's calm, it's still early, get up after the battle." Wang Ba had more experience, it didn't look far, but it's still early to leave the battle.

Both sides will first adjust their orientation and conduct a test. This is much smaller when sitting and swaying, and their brains can also be more awake.

As Wang Ba expected, the fleets of both sides did not directly hit the other side, but instead changed directions and tried to attack the other side from the side.

Li Jilong took a deep breath, held the spear and continued to slump on the deck.

The fleets of both sides continued to test on the river surface, and Murong Yanzhao gradually lost his patience. He looked up at the sky. It was almost time to go on. If he dragged on, he would probably not have any results today.

The flags were waving and the war drums were beating. The Song Dynasty navy turned the sails and rushed straight towards the Nanchu navy.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Shifan's mouth. After all, the other party couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't mind spending more time on this river.

The Nanchu Navy continued to change direction and was about to turn to the side of the Song Navy to launch an attack.

Murong Yanzhao ignored it and just ordered the sails to rotate, and did not change the formation, and hit the Nanchu Navy with a diagonal formation.

In the face of absolute power, some advantages in formation are simply insignificant.

The fast-moving light boats are driven by human power and are not restricted by the wind direction, and are all transferred to the front. The only long-range attack weapon on the light boat is a fixed bed crossbow.

The crossbow had been stalked, with crossbow arrows as thick as a baby's arm, which were more than three feet long. A cloth soaked in tinder oil wrapped around it. Facing the increasingly closer Nanchu Navy, the sailors of the Song Dynasty lit the cloths on the crossbow arrows, and black smoke scattered up.

More than a hundred light boats shot out crossbow arrows at the same time, and balls of black smoke flew towards the warship of the Nanchu Navy.

The Nanchu Navy was experienced and did not panic at all. The warship had already prepared fire-fighting facilities. The fire attack of this scale could only add to the slightest panic. To create large-scale results, it was simply a delusion.

There are also light boats in the Nanchu Navy, but the number is not as high as that of the Song Dynasty. They just cruised beside their own team, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The light ships of the Great Song Dynasty naval army quickly retreated, and at the same time they rolled the crossbows, preparing to launch a second attack to buy time for their main fleet.

When the second wave of crossbow arrows were shot out, the light boat retreated to his own navy, and then received an order to retreat directly into the fleet and shoot freely.

Although the current Dasong Navy, although the ship speed was not high due to direction, was still rushing towards the Nanchu Navy.

The collision of the ship was faster than that of the building ship. After receiving the order, he gradually left the fleet and headed towards the Nanchu Navy.

The Navy of Nanchu was not outdone. A large number of crashes also broke out from the fleet. Although the number was smaller, it had a faster speed.

Li Jilong stood on the boat and looked at the tragic scene in front of him. There was no fancy, only a head-on collision.
