The huge Bozhou port is full of ships, and the dock is also filled with people and various salutes. If a boat is filled, it will set sail and leave. On the sea, the boats full of people are almost connected to each other, and on the other end, more sea boats are constantly sailing.

Bozhou was retreating greatly. Zhou mobilized all the ships that could be collected, even if they were small boats, they would not be spared. These boats would be tied behind the big ships, even if they were not used to pretend to be a man and just perform salutes. The Ming Dynasty also recruited countless sea ships to support them. All ships that were still in the territory had received a call from the court.

Many large sea boats could no longer park into the port, and could only moor in the sea, loading people and things onto the large ships like small boats and ants. This action has lasted for half a month.

Bozhou County City is a place where Zhou's family operated for generations. People living in the county town are either his tribe, his subordinates and their families. The people here can be more or less related to the Zhou family. When Zhou Shuguang raised the banner to rebel, the people here became his loyal support without hesitation.

Now that the rebellion has basically failed, the Zhou family wants to retreat, so they naturally cannot abandon these loyal subordinates and people. The people here are naturally afraid that after the imperial army comes, they will be ruthlessly liquidated. With the retreat, it will naturally become the only choice.

However, in this way, the task of retreat was quite large. The Ming Dynasty had to mobilize all the sea ships that could be recruited in the country to carry out this huge task.

If it were in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty would have absolutely been unable to complete such a large-scale transfer. Fortunately, with the Ming Dynasty opening up the maritime ban, countless Ming merchants devoted themselves to the vigorous overseas trade, and the Ming Dynasty's sea ships were basically launched on the trunk, which was the ability to proceed.

But even so, the retreat time has been delayed for a long time.

Above the city, Zhou Shuguang looked at the crowded crowds and goods on the dock with a worried face, and turned to look at Yu Changyuan beside him: "Mr. Yu, can it be faster?"

Yu Changyuan shook his head: "It's already quite fast, but there are too many people. General Zhou can't do this anymore. At this speed, I'm afraid it will take another half a month to get them all out, and we have no time."

"I can't leave them alone." Zhou Shuguang said: "In the past, they supported me unconditionally, but now how can I keep them? Emperor Qi hated me deeply. After occupying this place, if I can't find it, I will pour my anger on them. I have experienced the ruthlessness of Emperor Qi."

"The county soldiers of the two states who have winged together are not far from the county city. Li Yang faces the attack of Long Xiang's army, and it is even more difficult for Li Yang to hold on for half a month in three directions. General Zhou, if he wants to speed up now, he has only one way to just leave and throw away all the salutes. Even so, the time required is not short."

Zhou Shuguang was silent for a while and nodded, "That's all." He turned to an official beside him and said, "Go down and tell everyone, throw away all the salutes and take the boat only. They will suffer losses. When the Ming Dynasty arrives, I, Zhou Shuguang, will compensate them."

"Yes, the head of the family!" The official bowed and turned around and ran towards the city.

Zhou Shuguang looked at Coptis chinen on the other side again: "Now we need to send reinforcements to Li Yang, Coptis chinen, what is the morale of the army now?"

Coptis chinen showed some uneasy expression on his face: "General, the morale of the army is not very stable. Many soldiers' homes are not in the county town, and they are not willing to leave Bozhou."

Zhou Shuguang fell silent again. After a while, he said: "If you were sent to Liyang to support you now, how many soldiers do you think there are still fighting spirits?"

"The Zhou family soldiers, plus the officers and soldiers whose families are in the county and surrounding areas, have a total of about 2,000 people!" Huang Lian calculated silently in his heart and said.

"Okay, you can take these two thousand people to Liyang. As for the other soldiers, disarm them, and send them severance silver, so that they can go out of the city to make their own way. Of course, they can't work together with us, so let's go their separate ways."

"General, this will make the morale of the army fluctuate."

"Only staying behind will the morale of the army will be fluctuating." Zhou Shuguang said decisively: "The people who stayed behind must protect their families to retreat, and their minds will be more determined. There are fewer people, but their combat effectiveness will be stronger."

"I understand, I'll do it right away." Coptis chinen nodded vigorously and trotted away from the city wall.

"Even if Coptis chinensis arrives in Liyang, what should I do with the other two routes? Didn't you say that you would let the Zhou and Wu families go to the two armies in the wings and persuade them to delay the pace of the march? Is there any news coming back?" Yu Changyuan asked.

Zhou Shuguang sneered: "I hope that the sows can all climb the tree. Their people took this opportunity to escape, for fear that I would hold them away."

"How do you deal with these two teams now?"

"Don't worry, I have sent someone else. I've stayed on the front line today and met again in the future. We usually have contacts and relationships, and I promise that our navy will not attack Yizhou and Bingzhou in the future. These two people thought about it and had agreed to my request. They will deliberately slow down and give us a certain amount of time to retreat."

"This is also a solution. In this way, the key is that it can't stop Li Yang's Long Xiang army." Yu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look towards Li Yang, his eyes full of worry. Where to command the Ming army now was his daughter Yu Xiu'e.

On the sea surface, another sea boat dropped its anchor on the sea surface. A small boat was placed on the ship, and the small boat rushed towards the dock quickly. After a while, one person jumped off the small boat and ran quickly towards the city tower with two guards.

"Master Zhou." The visitor looked at Zhou Shuguang and clasped his fists, "Xie Qiu, who was ordered to come at the Daming Supervision Institute."

The so-called Supervision Office is the public name of Eagle Nest. After Xie Qiu reported to his house, he took out a waist sign from his arms and handed it to Zhou Shuguang. At the same time, he handed over a letter from Zhou Baozhen.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Shuguang and Yu Changyuan knew very few people. Xie Qiu brought Zhou Baozhen's letter to prove his identity.

Zhou Shuguang naturally saw the Eagle Nest's waist card. With Zhou Baozhen's letters complemented by each other, the other party's identity is undoubtedly.

"I wonder what the hell is here?" Zhou Shuguang asked.

"Your Majesty the Emperor decided to teach the people of Qi a lesson in Bozhou County." Xie Qiu smiled and said, "At this moment, several fleets are about to reach their target. Among them, the fleet led by General Zhou Baozhen has joined with the fleet led by General Zhou Li. There are still a large number of transport ships mixed in General Zhou Li's fleet, and they will land in Fu County."

Zhou Shuguang said he was stunned, and then suddenly reacted, "Fuxian? Li Yang?"

Xie Qiu nodded and said, "Your Majesty wants to teach the people of Qi a lesson. After General Zhou Li discussed with General Zhou Baozhen, he decided to wipe out the Long Xiang army that was attacking Li Yang in one fell swoop. They will land in Fuxian, attack the back of Long Xiang army, and send me here, mainly to inform Lord Zhou that Li Yang must stick to it no matter what, and when the time is right, they will attack them together."

"The Longxiang Army in Liyang has 10,000 people, and with the young and strong, I'm afraid there are 20,000 people. How many people have landed in Fuxian?" Zhou Shuguang asked.

"The five thousand fully armed people. Three thousand of them were the Ruijin Camp commanded by General Huang Hao. The other two thousand were the Navy Marines." Xie Qiu stretched out a slap and shook it.

"Okay, very good!" Zhou Shuguang and Yu Changyuan were overjoyed. A Ming army with 5,000 people unexpectedly appeared behind Long Xiang's army, which means victory was basically in sight. Especially the famous Ming Dynasty veteran Ruijin Camp.

Yu Changyuan was even happier because the one who brought the troops was his son-in-law. Perhaps his wife encountered difficulties in fighting in Bozhou, so this person could not sit still in Ming Dynasty.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly change his mind? If we can wipe out the Long Xiang army in Li Yang, why should we retreat again? In a short period of time, the Qi court will definitely not be able to send another Long Xiang army!"

"The plan of retreat will not change. Our army will not stay after annihilation of this Longxiang army. We will take the boat from Fuxian directly." Xie Qiu said: "As for why we fight? Maybe the two of you don't know yet. Cao Hui of Qi kidnapped Ning Zhiwen and threatened His Majesty the Emperor of Ming to hand over Ning Zefeng's family to them, so His Majesty was very angry."

Yu Changyuan didn’t know who Ning Zefeng was, so Zhou Shuguang naturally knew: “It’s too outrageous to kidnap me to replace my son? But if Ning Zefeng arrives in Qi State, it will definitely be a big disaster in the future!”

"Whether it can be a big problem or not is still the future, but Ning Zhiwen, Your Majesty must save him. Because of this matter, Your Majesty was furious and decided to teach the Qi people a lesson. However, because he had just signed a peace agreement with Qi, it was impossible to occupy the land of Qi. The fleets that came were all armed with pirate flags and attacked ashore, and would not fight the Ming Dynasty flag. This battle would be fought and left. If you want to snatch it up, it would naturally be Master Zhou's masterpiece. It has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty."

Zhou Shuguang laughed happily: "This is a great contribution that Zhou can't refuse, but that's really disrespectful. Yu Gong, it seems that we don't have to be too anxious. Once the Long Xiang army is destroyed, the army of Bingzhou Yizhou will be scared to death. Even if they whip them with a whip, they will not move forward rashly."

"Even so, the retreat speed cannot be reduced. If you walk one day earlier, you will feel at ease for a day." Yu Changyuan said.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Yu, I will drive to Liyang until I see you. Please ask Lord Zhou to arrange some people familiar with the road to guide me." Xie Qiu bowed.
