In the southeast sea, on an island, no one would have thought that there were more than 20,000 troops stationed in such a barren land, and they were all elite divisions.

And the materials, grain and grass carried by these armies are absolutely astronomical!

"Lord Wang, General Wu, they're back!"

In the early morning, the red sun rises to the sea, the glow is shining, the morning sun is spraying colors, and thousands of miles of gold is melted. Above the ocean, the long snake flies and goes straight to the bottom of the eye. The rocky shore of the island suddenly rolled up golden snow waves more than two feet high. A soldier hurried towards the mouth of the cave on the island and whispered.

"Hmm~! This king is going to take a look~! ”

Li Xiaogong replied lightly, and after a short while, he saw him walking out in a hurry, followed by envoys from various countries.

When a few people came to the shore and stood on the boulder to look up, they saw a fleet of ships on the sea level, slowly sailing towards this side, and when the distance became closer, they could also see a big "Tang" character on the canvas, which was obviously a friendly army.

"Li Xiao, how is Meng Youliang's injury~? What does the military doctor say~? ”

Li Xiaogong saw that the fleet had not yet docked, so he asked the guards beside him.

The guard's name is Li Xiao, and he is the deputy captain of Li Xiaogong's personal guards, second only to Wu Di.

"Back to the general, Meng Youliang has more than ten large and small knife wounds on his body, fortunately he was not injured to the point, but he lost too much blood last night, and he is still in a coma until now, the military doctor said that his physical recovery ability is very strong, as long as he recuperates for a few days, there will be no major problems~!"

That's right, there were military doctors in the Tang Dynasty, not only military doctors, but also a relatively complete military medical system.

In the Tang Dynasty, one of the important factors that allowed the consolidation of the vast territory and long border defense line was the creation of a powerful Tang Empire army. And the strength of the army is naturally inseparable from logistics and medical care.

In the army, there is a special "inspection officer" to inspect the condition of the wounded and sick on a daily basis, as well as the diet and daily life, so as to arrange medical treatment and evacuation, and if a new sick or critically ill soldier is found, he must report to the general manager, and the doctor must patrol the camp and give appropriate treatment.

"Hmmm! That's good~! Let the military doctor use good medicinal materials to recuperate Meng Youliang as soon as possible! ”

Li Xiaogong thought about it and commanded.

is about to return to Chang'an, he doesn't want Meng Youliang to still look sick by then, which will make him feel that he owes Li Zexuan a favor.

"Yes~! Checkmate~! ”

Li Xiao responded with a fist.

As the two spoke, the fleet was getting closer and closer, and the bearded man next to him sighed: "This compass and nautical chart are simply artifacts for ocean voyages!" If you weren't very familiar with this sea area, it was very likely that you wouldn't be able to find it back if you went out at night~! ”

I don't know for some reason, the bearded guest didn't leave last night, but lived with Li Xiaogong's army, since ancient times, officials and thieves are not separated, I didn't expect that the regular army of the imperial court would one day live with a group of pirates, the picture is really a little weird.

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Zhong Jian might as well cooperate with the imperial court, when the time comes, not only will there be a compass and nautical charts, but the latest big ship of the imperial court can also be handed over to you~!" This king estimates that the Holy Lord will send several fleets to sea this year! And with Li Zexuan here, this king believes that my Datang fleet will definitely not just wander around the South China Sea, and there are infinite possibilities in the future~! ”

The personal strength of the bearded guest, among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, is definitely one of the best, and Li Xiaogong has always been eclectic for talents. He also preserved and recommended to Li Er many Sui generals or Wagang generals who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so most of the courtiers were happy and convinced of him, which is one of the reasons why Li Xiaogong's reputation in the imperial court was so high.

Moreover, Li Xiaogong also grasped the hearts of the people very accurately, obviously he saw that the bearded guest's blood was full of adventure factors, so he did not promise the bearded guest high-ranking officials or endless wealth, but used the broader ocean as a temptation to urge the bearded guest to accept the olive branch he threw out.

"Hmm......"

The bearded guest's eyes really lit up, he thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but a certain person is used to being carefree, and he can't stand those rules, and he can't stand the control of others, so ......"

"Hehe~! Zhong Jian, don't rush to conclusions, your majesty is the king of the saint today, and he will definitely give you the greatest freedom, the saint has always been the most tolerant of talents, don't you see Wei Xuancheng often speaking out and letting your majesty run away~? ”

Without waiting for the bearded guest to finish speaking, Li Xiaogong hurriedly waved his hand and continued to bewitch.

The bearded guest was lost in thought, silent.

At this moment, the fleet at sea had already approached, and Wu Di went ashore in a small boat and walked straight towards Li Xiaogong.

"Lord Wang, the last general is incompetent, I searched in the nearby waters all night, but I still haven't found any trace of that group of pirates, please punish the prince~!"

Li Xiaogong looked at Wu Di, who looked tired, waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you~!" It is inconvenient to find people at night, and the interval between them is too long, so it is reasonable that they cannot be searched! Now take them back to the ship to rest~! ”

"Thank you for your extrajudicial kindness~!"

Wu Di hurriedly thanked him, and then left slowly, more than 400 of them didn't sleep all night last night, and now it's really time to rest.

"Your Excellency, do you want me to pass on a message to our king to help you arrest this group of hateful pirates~?"

After Wu Di left, the envoy of Zhenla Country next to Li Xiaogong said in a grunt.

After listening to the translation, Li Xiaogong was about to say no, and the envoys from other countries rushed to shout:

"Funanguo is willing to help Tang Guo exterminate pirates~!"

"Bi Guo is also willing to help Tang Guo~!"

"Dandanguo is also willing~!"

"The Lion Kingdom is also willing~!"

……………

Seeing the inexplicable excitement of this group of people, even if Li Xiaogong didn't listen to others translate for him, he knew what they wanted to express, and he said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, but my Datang matter, Datang will solve it by itself, and you will wait for the news~!" ”

After hearing what Li Xiaogong meant, the envoys quieted down one after another, and Li Xiaogong shouted in a deep voice: "Li Xiao! ”

"The end will be in ~!"

"Immediately order the fleet to drop anchor and set sail, the destination - Wa Kingdom~!"

Li Xiao was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't expect Li Xiaogong to be so bold, although he was not subject to military orders abroad, but the current Wa State is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty! How can you use your own army to attack the subject countries, if this spreads, won't the other subject countries of the Tang Dynasty be chaotic~?
