At a water station outside Jiangzhou City, a large number of dilapidated ships, large and small, were parked, almost blocking the entire waterfront pier. Many merchants traveling to and from Jiangzhou were confused about the situation and thought they were from the Southern Tang Dynasty and Chu State.
The navy was about to start a war, and everyone looked out from the cabin.
Everyone was just surprised that this strange fleet was too shabby, and the flag on the bow was not the flag of any company, but rather the flag of a company in Nanping, but the flag was also in tatters and could not be recognized clearly.
appearance.
"Gang Leader Zhu, what should we do now?" Everyone was in the cabin of the largest battleship. Li Cunba looked at Zhu Yuanlang with a solemn expression and asked for his opinion.
Along the way, there were disciples of the Beggar Clan paying close attention to the movements in the direction of the Chu State. Tanhua had just reported that the Chu army led by Lian Yunjiao had arrived at the border of the Chu State and was fighting with the defenders of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
A confrontation situation formed.
The specific situation is not clear to everyone because the second group of exploring flowers has not returned yet. Zhu Yuanlang knew in his heart that Lianyunjiao would never give up this time. If he could lead this strange fleet to avoid the sight of the Southern Tang navy, it would be completely
It was because the general of the Southern Tang garrison in Ezhou was his senior disciple, the great disciple of Sun Yuanhua.
No one knew about this except him and Sun Yuanhua. If Lian Yunjiao directly broke through the defense line of the Southern Tang Navy in Ezhou and came all the way to Jiangzhou to pursue them, Zhu Yuanlang would be helpless.
"You all should go back and rest first. I feel a little headache and need to be alone." Zhu Yuanlang waved his hand feebly and asked him to manage the Beggar Gang. He can still do it. If he is asked to lead the army to fight against the Chu army,
, but he felt like he didn’t know where to start.
Ma Benlei looked at Zhu Yuanlang's incompetent side and opened his mouth to speak, but Li Cunba grabbed him, stopped him with his eyes, and took him out. The two returned to the cabin where they usually rest, and Ma Benlei
Lei Qi said strangely: "Old Li, what are you doing?
Why are you holding me back? I think Zhu Yuanlang is just a fool. Fortunately, he is still the leader of a gang. Isn't it just the tens of thousands of navy soldiers from the Chu State who are chasing me? What's so scary? Look at his bewildered look.
It’s a shame that eldest brother still wants us to listen to him.”
Li Cunba smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Ma, you don't understand. Gang leader Zhu is not the kind of person who likes war. He went against his own nature and went to Feiyu Island to question Lian Nutao for the sake of the old gang leader of the Beggar Clan. This
It's out of repayment and loyalty,
It's admirable. I, Lao Li, still admire him very much. I remember that when his grandfather Zhu Wen was fighting for the world with the King of Jin, I had met with his grandfather several times. He was simply an extremely selfish person. I didn't expect him.
My grandson is such a person."
Ma Benlei snorted and muttered: "In my opinion, it's better to take the opportunity to devour these people. Aren't we going to build a blood wolf army? These people have such good foundations. It would be too wasteful not to join the army. I really can't do it.
Understand what Zhu Yuanlang is thinking."
When Li Cunba heard Ma Benlei's words, his expression became complicated. He was silent for a long time and said nothing. Ma Benlei felt strange and looked at him, "Old Li, why don't you speak?"
Li Cunba sighed and said: "Brother Ma, you are still young and have not experienced many things. Naturally, you do not understand the deep meaning of Gang Leader Zhu. I admire him very much. I never thought that after Zhu Wen's death, there would be such a
Descendants. He did the right thing. It would be hard for him to work so hard for these orphans from Qianliang in these years. If not
It's him. I'm afraid these people will either die of cold and starvation, or die pointlessly on the battlefield. They are more likely to be liquidated and sent directly to the bitter cold land of the far north to colonize the frontier. I have been hiding in Tibet over the years.
I finally see through this. Unfortunately, I still can't forget the shame that the groom brought to King Jin!"
Ma Benlei seemed to understand and listened to Li Cunba's complaint, and then said: "Old Li, what should we do now? Are we just going to wait like this? Isn't that just waiting to die?"
Li Cunba recovered from the emotion of nostalgia and said with a faint smile on his face: "Brother Ma, you have been with the lord for a while. Could it be that you still can't see through the lord's plan?"
Ma Benlei was stunned. He had no idea what Kang Long's plan was. He smiled bitterly and said, "I only know that my eldest brother likes to take risks, but I really can't tell what his plan is."
Li Cunba smiled and said: "Since you have understood my lord's temper, you only need to think carefully about this plan. In fact, it is very simple. Why does my lord want to build a blood wolf army in Huaishang? You know, Huaishang is the
The center of the battlefield between Huaibei Jiedushi Tang Tianbao and the Southern Tang Kingdom is also close to Chu Kingdom and Nanping. If you want to survive in such a place where there are four battles, what do you want to do, my lord?"
"What are you doing? Could it be that the eldest brother wants to transfer his power to the south? But the eldest brother has already had a better start in the northwest? Huangzeguan has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a very good stronghold. Could it be?
Big brother wants to abandon Huangzeguan and choose to take root here?!" Ma Benlei exclaimed.
This time it was Li Cunba's turn to smile bitterly. This Ma Benlei was good at everything, but his brain was a little slow to react. He seemed to think about everything half a beat slower than others.
"Brother Ma, you have thought of this. Don't you understand my lord's thoughts? My lord will definitely not give up the power of the north. The north has always been the base for domination of the world. My lord has great ambitions, how can we give up so easily? We are in the south.
This one was established
The Blood Wolf Army is like a hidden arrow. I have to say that my lord's strategic vision and training methods are very clever. I was still doubtful before, but now I am sure that this amazing army of my lord will definitely become a leader in the future.
An existence that changes the entire situation of the war."
Ma Benlei scratched his head, smiled naively, and then said: "Old Li, after talking so much, you haven't told me yet, what should we do now?"
Li Cunba was completely defeated by this guy this time. Previously, he heard from Kang Long that Ma Benlei once served as the commander of the forward battalion of the Hedong Left Army in the Hedong Army. Now he is a little doubtful. The Hedong Army is so famous. Why?
To choose such a simple-minded guy as the commander, it seems that the commander of the Hedong Zuo Army is not very good either.
"Okay, don't worry about it. If my estimate is correct, the lord must be doing everything possible to get here. However, the lord is in Jinling now. Even if he rushes here day and night, it will probably take two days.
In about a day or so, there are too many variables during this period, so I think we can’t wait until the lord comes back to make calculations, we should take the initiative!”
"Take the initiative? To attack Lianyunjiao's Tengjiao gang and the Chu navy navy?" Ma Benlei asked with shock on his face, his face was full of admiration, and he thought to himself, this old boy can do it better than his elder brother
