Liang Xiao smiled.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely give advice to Your Majesty, and I am at least 30% sure to persuade the emperor. As for King Jiangdu, he is indeed more suitable than King Huainan, so I suggest that Lord Yan ask King Jiangdu to help. However, establishing a vassal is not a battle, and the Prince of Jiangdu is not a good heir. If I move King Jiangdu to Yue, I am afraid that I will cause chaos in the future and will bring disaster to myself, which will be unbeautiful."

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

"But there is no wise man like the Master of the Jiangdu Kingdom."

Liu Ling rolled his eyes. "I'm coaxing me again."

"Otherwise." Liang Xiao was serious and looked solemn. "The cunning rabbit has three holes. Before he wanted to advance, he wanted to retreat first. The master Weng visited so many Hu merchants and knew the general trend of overseas. Why not camp in overseas? The land of Minyue is far away from the court and close to overseas. If he can do a good job in business, he can advance or retreat, isn't it better than Huainan?"

Liu Ling narrowed his eyes, turned his dark eyes for a few times, pondered for a while, and nodded.

"You are a trick to advance or retreat. I am just worried that the Minyue is barren and humid. My father is used to the customs of Huainan and may not be willing to leave. Well, after I go back, I will tell him. If it can be done, it will be a good choice."

"The Master Weng is wise." Liang Xiao retreated and turned around to leave.

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

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, smelling the warm fragrance at his nose, and his heart was a little moved. How could he not know Liu Ling's intention when he saw him like this? The girl was in love with her and the boy was in love with her. He also wanted to sit over and kiss her. But he didn't dare.

He touched his nose and smiled embarrassedly: "The editor is not accurate."

...

Huan Yuan held the railing and looked at the big ship in front of him with a slowdown in action, his eyes were worried and frowning.

It was Liu Ju's boat, which was loaded with too many trophys. The big boat drew deep and walked very slowly. Small boats were passing by, like a group of small fish surrounding a dying giant beast, waiting to share its corpse.

After several fruitless protests, Liu Ju and Yu Shan chose to go to Songjiang. They were reluctant to leave these spoils and ships. For Min Yue, both of them were the supplies they urgently needed. Even ordinary soldiers did not want to go home empty-handedly.

After saying this, even Huan Yuan felt a little unsure.

Could it be that I was wrong alone?

Starting from Zhenze, they had been walking for a day and had another half a day to enter the sea. Once they entered the sea, there was no way to stop them from going home. The county warships in Kuaiji had been stolen by them, and even the civilian boats were almost plundered. Kuaiji soldiers could not enter the sea to pursue them. They could only watch them go home.

Along the way, they also encountered some people who tried to intercept. However, their troops were too weak and they did not dare to confront other troops who were intersecting with each other. Those powerful families were also worried about angering Yu Shan, so they stayed in their doors and waited for the crisis to pass.

It seemed that everything went smoothly. Although it delayed a lot of time, the result was still acceptable. Huan Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the big ship in front suddenly sounded muffled, shook violently, and then creaked twice, slowly coming over. Huan Yuan was shocked, and a strong sense of anxiety flashed across his heart. He winked at Zhongliqi and signaled him to ask. Zhongliqi jumped onto a small boat and rowed forward.

The big boat was already in chaos. Huan Yuan saw Liu Ju running out of the cabin, covering her clothes, looking around in panic, beating her chest and stamping her feet, not knowing what she was calling. Jing Zhao followed him, looking uneasy. He looked here and happened to see Huan Yuan, and immediately turned his head away.

Amid Liu Ju's shouting, he took off his coat and jumped out of the water with several soldiers.

Huan Yuan became even more uneasy. Could it be that there were obstacles in the water that blocked the big ship?

Before departure, Yu Shan sent someone to check the river, for fear that obstacles would be placed, which would affect the passage of the big ship. However, the scouts were all on small boats and could only use bamboo poles in their hands to row in the water to ensure that there would be no particularly large things like shipwrecks hidden underwater. However, the boat had limited water draw, and the scouts had no time to inquire carefully, so the possibility of leaking was very high.

Once such a large ship is stranded in the river, it will seriously affect the passage of subsequent ships. Ships equipped with a large amount of food and spoils can be behind. If a ship leaks and sinks, the trouble will be even greater, which is tantamount to a catastrophe.

Before Huan Yuan could return from Zhongliqi, he ordered the warship to advance and approach Liu Ju's large ship.

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

"The ship leaked? Why did it leak?"

"There are iron spears under the water that penetrated the bottom of the ship and the water had already flowed into the cabin. The sailors were trying their best to block it, but the hole was very big and the iron spears were poked very deeply, so they probably couldn't block it anymore, so there was only one way to abandon the ship."

Huan Yuan was stunned by lightning. He raised his head and happened to see Liu Ju and Jing Zhao's pale faces and dull eyes.

Iron spears rather than other things can only explain one problem: this is a plan made by someone, not a bad luck. The iron spear planted at the bottom of the water breaking the ship is only the first step, and the next attack is the focus.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Huan Yuan shouted loudly. "Change the boat, change the boat."

"What?" Liu Ju heard Huan Yuan's shouting, but couldn't hear what he was saying. She rushed to the edge of the boat, stretched her neck, and shouted.

Huan Yuan was anxious and waved his arm hard to signal Liu Ju to get off the ship quickly. The ship had already sunk, and Liu Ju had to hurry up and change the ship and leave. The place would soon be besieged, and it would be slow to go, and it would be in danger of life.

After spending a lot of effort, Liu Ju finally understood what Huan Yuan meant and hurriedly took the guards to change the boat. The big ship was in chaos.

Liu Ju's boat was a tower ship from Wu Kingdom back then, and could carry three or four hundred people. To transfer all of these people to the boat, at least twenty or thirty empty ships were needed. Wherever you find so many empty ships at a time, you could only get the nearby boats to come forward, each boat was able to transport three or five people. It was transported like an ant moving house.

A large ship was blocked. It was just a bone stuck in the throat. It blocked the entire fleet and shattered the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in a short time. Everyone began to realize that the road to home became difficult.

...

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

"Strike"

The battle flag was shaking, the war drums were thundering. Before the people moved, the momentum had already made the Minyue soldiers who were carrying out the cover mission and were terrified.

There was no rushing or raid. The soldiers organized by the slaves from the Wu family of the Daxian family were divided into ten small teams. Under the command of the drums, they stepped forward along the fields.

The two-meter-wide road can accommodate five people in parallel. Five people are lined up in an orderly line, shouting from time to time. The momentum is strong.

The two armies were still more than a thousand steps apart, and the soldiers of Minyue had already felt the bitter murderous intent. The river behind them was in chaos. The big ships entering the water were crossing the river, and they already knew that something was wrong. Seeing that there was an enemy approaching, they had no way to retreat, so they could only harden their heads to prepare for the battle, beat the war drum, and signaled their companions to move closer to them and protect Yu Shan and Liu Ju's ship.

Before this, Liang Xiao and the others had already found out that Yu Shan arranged 1,000 soldiers on both sides of the river as a warning to prevent attack. After Li Jiao obtained the accurate information, he arranged 2,000 people in Jiangbei, and was several miles away from the riverside to avoid being discovered by these Minyue soldiers. Now that the ship was blocked, they rushed out.

Two hundred steps apart, both sides stopped and arranged an array on the open space by the river. The array was like the roar before an animal duel, which was to boost morale and compare the momentum with each other. Both sides were as square as possible, and the war drums were swayed to the sky, hoping to shock the other side. At this time, whether the weapons and armor were clear, whether the team was neat, and whether the mental outlook was positive, could affect the morale of both sides.

In terms of weapons and equipment, the two sides are similar. The equipment of the soldiers of Minyue is very shabby, and the soldiers organized by these slaves are not much better. Perhaps the aesthetic concepts of each family are different, the clothes are colorful, and the styles of armor are also strange and strange. They are not unified.

In terms of neat queues, the two sides are similar. At least in the eyes of Liang Xiao and others, they are incomparable brothers and brothers.

In terms of mental outlook, the gap between the two sides immediately emerged. The soldiers of Minyue were anxious to go home and were unwilling to fight. However, the slave soldiers wanted to regain their own property and were full of fighting spirit. If it were not for the military order, they might have rushed in long ago. At this moment, they were cold-eyed and gritted their teeth, and looked like beasts.

The biggest gap is the advantage of the number of people. The Minyue Army's thousand troops stretched for several miles and it was difficult to gather in a short period of time. As soon as the two sides set their way, the Minyue Army immediately fell into a disadvantage. Let's look at the knights who once made them frightened, and the momentum was three points weaker.

At Li Jiao's order, the two men led the headquarters to fight, while the others remained silent and stabilized their positions.

The Minyue Army seemed a little hesitant and did not send people to fight in time. They watched the opponent step by step before setting up a defensive formation.

"These beasts are still afraid of them." Li Jiao smiled proudly. "A Xiao, go and give them some good luck. Be careful not to push too close. Shu Yun, protect A Xiao, don't be careless, otherwise you will never forgive me."

Li Shuyun laughed: "You are afraid, if these barbarians dare to come, I will kill them all."

Li Jiao also seemed very relaxed and waved his hand. Liang Xiao urged the horse to come out of the formation and came to the front of the formation under the protection of Li Shuyun and others. He was still fifty steps away from the Fujian Yue army. He turned his horse's head and rushed westward. He glanced at the officer who looked like a soldier in front of the other party. He only had a half-old leather armor on his body, and there were no personal guards around him. He was shouting with a leader under his command, as if he was arguing about something. When he saw Liang Xiao and his party, he raised his head in surprise.

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

The arrow shot sixty steps, and one arrow pierced the man's leather armor and penetrated his body.

The commander of the pawn fell to the ground with a bang, causing a riot. The Lang Guan, who was approaching the army, was ready. Seeing Liang Xiao hit an arrow, he shouted happily: "A Xiao, thank you." While shouting, he picked up the long halberd in his hand and roared: "Attack"

The soldiers following him shouted in unison and ran wildly. The Langguan kicked the horse's belly hard, and the war horses leaped and rushed to the front of the Fujian Yue army. With a long spear, he swiftly killed one soldier, and then pushed away the war horses of another soldier, urging the horses to rush in-
