(Damn, I thought there was no monthly ticket today, so I couldn't get the 45th chapter update, but I didn't expect everyone to be so powerful. Since that's the case, although it's still more than ten minutes to finish today, Muzi still sent the update of the chapter I drove out. Thank you for the monthly ticket support of the book friend 080910200929442, Xiao Feilong Sword and Olytis, four book friends, thank you for your support. Thank you for your support.

"General, do you really want to send troops to help Li Lingfu attack Duli Town?" From Qingnipu back to Wuhu Island, Zhao Jiang couldn't help but face Li Guan, who had been standing on the deck without saying a word since he got on the ship. Zhao Jiang is a veteran. He broke his arm in the battle on Maodao. According to regulations, he could only withdraw from the team and was arranged to be a guard at the dock or workshop, or join a team like the urban management team and the public security team to live his life.

However, Li Guan left him by his side as a famous guard, and now he is the leader of the Silver Guards' Team, serving as Li Guan's personal follower. This appreciation is important, and therefore, Zhao Jiang is full of feelings for Li Guan and Shamen Town. Following Li Guan, he saw further than before when he was reconnaissing the capital. He knew very well how much Li Guan didn't want to attack Duli Town. In addition to the high and dangerous city of Duli Town, there was another reason that when the general completely wiped out Feng Zhang's power and completely occupied the Da Xie Fort, he had already turned his attention to the land of Ziqing Town farther west.

Shamen Town is now actively preparing for war according to the general's order, and the soldiers of each battalion are stepping up training, and the logistics are also being fully prepared. Zhao Jiang can guess some reasons. The general is no longer satisfied with this corner of the sea and is preparing to march onto the land. At this time, he will never be willing to finally reach a stable backyard and start another war.

Li Guan turned around and did not directly reply to Zhao Jiang's words, but asked back: "Zhao Jiang, just follow your own ideas. Do you think, should we fight this battle now?"

"I don't think we should be beaten. Li Lingfu is now blinded by hatred. Duli Town and Qingnipu are a century-old feud. The last time Li Lingfu proposed marriage to Wang Pu, it was not really about marrying. It was just taking advantage of the last victory to force Wang Pu to marry his daughter, but just to insult Duli Town and Wang Pu. Now Wang Pu has counterattacked Li Lingfu and deliberately agreed to marry his daughter to the Li family first. But he directly gave his daughter to you. This is obviously a killing of two birds with one stone. He even shot Li Lingfu and returned a blow, and planted the seeds of suspicion and doubt in our two families, intending to alienate our two families."

Zhao Jiang used some of the ways of thinking that he had learned since he followed Li Guan and analyzed this matter in detail. However, he also talked very well.

"Wang Pu gave all our compensation. That was because they all saw clearly that we were the biggest threat to Duli Town. When we got the money, he did not give Li Lingfu money. I think it was their intentional work. Duli Town was testing our attitude. And now Wang Pu forced Li Lingfu to take Li Lingfu as his concubine, and his father-in-law married his daughter-in-law. He gave Li Lingfu a huge insult. I think it was not that Wang Pu was too arrogant, but that they were deliberately stimulating Li Lingfu. There must be some conspiracy hidden behind this."

"What kind of conspiracy do you think will be?" Li Guan was a little interested in Zhao Jiang's analysis and encouraged him to continue.

"The most direct thing is that I thought Duli Town was seducing Li Lingfu, and they wanted to seduce him to send troops. Once Li Lingfu was stimulated to attack Duli Town, then the strength of Duli Town remained. Li Lingfu used to be a good guardian. If the entire army attacked Duli Town, he would definitely lose. Once Duli Town was defeated, we would lose a powerful ally to control Duli Town. Then the unfavorable situation of Duli Town just defeated can reverse, and there is no need to worry that our two families are not good for them at all times. This is a good move, and they will be defeated one by one."

Li Guan nodded. Zhao Jiang made great progress. He usually only occasionally talked to their guards about some strategic and tactical things. He was able to analyze so many things by himself. It was really good.

"Why did Duli Town pay us compensation? This is a lot of money."

"In order to comfort us, and to numb us. After we got such a large sum of money, we naturally thought that Duli Town would not have any other actions. In this way, they could fight Qingnipu first with all their might."

Li Guan chuckled: "According to your opinion, the series of actions after the defeat in Dulizhen are all purposeful. He gives us money to numb us. He does not give Qingnipu money, but he also deliberately picks up mercy to stimulate them in order to lure them to attack. According to you, we have to send troops to help Qingnipu, but you also reveal the words of not sending troops. Then what do you mean is whether we should send troops?"

Zhao Jiang used his one-arm to slut out his head and said in a little embarrassed manner: "Tactical terms, we should support Li Lingfu. But if we look at it from a strategic level, we should not send troops."

"It's not bad, I actually know how to consider things from both tactical and strategic levels." Li Yan smiled.

Seeing Li Yan not making a sound again, Zhao Jiang couldn't help but ask anxiously: "What does the general mean to send troops or not?"

"What I mean, of course, is to send troops, but not to send troops."

"How do you say this?"

Li Guan sighed. He was really unwilling to send troops. But now he was unwilling to give up Qingnipu as his ally. Moreover, if Qingnipu is lost, the situation in Liaohai will turn around, which will be extremely unfavorable to his Xiao Yuan's arrangement. Therefore, he had to send troops. But Li Guan didn't want to fight Duli Town, because there was no chance of winning in this battle. How could he squander the capital he had finally saved so easily?

When he was in Qingni City, Li Guan finally agreed to send troops. However, he also made many requests, saying that he would make various preparations to let Li Lingfu attract allies. He himself wanted to attract allies, and he also said that he would solve Beisha City first. In fact, everything was just a slowdown. Facing this move in Duli Town, Li Guan could neither sit idly by nor really follow Li Lingfu into the pit.

So the last way he could think of was to drag down first, pull allies, and retreat the soldiers of Beishacheng. These were all delays. On the other hand, these actions were also putting pressure on Dulizhen. What Li Guan hoped most was that Dulizhen was finally under pressure, handing over the money that should be given to Li Lingfu, apologizing, and finally resolving the conflict crisis. Wang Xianzhi's Huang Chao Rebellion was about to begin, and the real stage was in the Central Plains, not Liaodong.

Although doing this is a bit sorry for Li Lingfu, Li Yan is actually the real good to Li Yan. The Li family controls Qingnipu for a hundred years, and he doesn't want it to be destroyed in the end because of Li Lingfu's impulse.

The ship was sailing on the sea. Previously, due to the battle between Shamen Town, Daxiezhai, Duli Town and Qingnipu, the most lively sea route in the north was once closed. Many caravans and merchant ships were afraid that several of them would clash again at any time. Therefore, all ships from Dengzhou Port, Duli Port and Qingni Port were parked in the port and did not dare to go to sea. At present, Shamen Town, Duli Town and Qingni Port have announced the armistice agreement, and the sea has finally returned to its former liveliness.

Standing on the deck, you can see fleets passing by on the sea from time to time. Some have only a few ships, while others have large fleets of dozens or hundreds of ships. These ships arrive at Liaodong along the coast and islands of Dengzhou, and then sail eastward along the coast of Liaodong, transport goods from the Central Turkish Tang Dynasty, and even from the extreme west to the Western Regions of Lingnan, Guangzhou, Mingzhou, Fuzhou, Jiaozhou and other areas to the north, all the way to the Bohai Sea, Silla, Japan and other foreign countries.

"The dozens of boats ran so fast, all of which were five-masted sailboats. Wow, these dozens of boats are so beautiful, the flag on the bow is so strange, it is actually a mandra flower. Which family caravan is this? It actually uses such a banner to make a banner." Seeing that Li Yan was not speaking, Zhao Jiang looked at the merchant ships passing by at sea with some boredom, and suddenly said very interested in a fleet passing by.

Mandra Banner?

Li Chen's heart suddenly moved. "Where is it?"

"What?"

"Where is the fleet with the Mandra Banner you just mentioned?" Li Guan asked loudly. Zhao Jiang was a little surprised, but still reached out to the east and pointed: "Here, there are more than a dozen ships in this fleet, but it seems that there is no loading. It runs very fast, and the ship is so beautiful that it is not decent."

Li Guan looked along his hand and indeed looked from a distance about one or two hundred steps away, a fleet was sailing in a hurry. Li Guan carefully looked at the flags on the ship and saw a mandra flower on it.

Seeing this flower, Li Yan couldn't help but look solemn. He suddenly remembered Zhang Yingying, who had a dew-water marriage. Zhang Yingying once gave him a big sea boat. However, since then, Li Yan had been determined to find her, but he rarely saw her and her shark fleet. Cui Zhiyuan said that Zhang Yingying's fleet mainly traveled in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, but rarely came to the Liao Sea. She traveled to Bohai, Silla, Japan, Yangzhou, Mingzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other places in the Tang Dynasty. She occasionally came to Dengzhou in the north, but rarely came.

It was half a year since I saw her. Now that I saw the banner of the Mandra flower, he immediately remembered that Zhang Yingying seemed to have said that it was the symbol of the Silla Princess Jin Man. Over the years, Jin Man has been chasing Zhang Yingying everywhere with a group of assassins and killers. Last time, Zhang Yingying fell into her trap in the Fahua Courtyard of Chishan. If he hadn't been rescued, he might have died.

Jin Man appears here, is Zhang Yingying also nearby?

Li Guan's heart moved and suddenly turned his head and said, "Turn the rudder and chase me for the fleet of Mandra Flower Banners in front of me, hurry up!"

"General, what happened?" Zhao Jiang couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw that Li Yan's expression had changed.

"I met an old friend and wanted to meet and have a chat." Li Yan said with a little excitement in his heart. When he thought of Zhang Yingying, Li Yan suddenly felt excited that he was eager to meet again.
