In front of many officials, Li An announced the date of going south two months after arriving in Guangzhou, that is, after the training was mature, but in fact he would not wait so long, at most more than a month, Li An would personally lead the fleet south. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason for telling a small lie is to deceive the ears and eyes of the pirates in order to achieve the purpose of raiding the pirate's lair.

In order to raid a pirate lair, you must first find out the exact location of the pirate lair, and only then can you achieve your goal.

In order to find the pirate's lair, Ang Lee's subordinates were not idle, they inquired everywhere, asked all kinds of information from the mouths of merchants and fishermen, especially merchants, asked them in what sea area they were attacked, and then accumulated together, you can roughly guess the location of the pirate's lair.

"Li Shilang, after the soldiers investigated day and night, the nearest attack of the merchants was in this area, less than a thousand miles south of Yazhou, and in the middle of this area, there is a group of islands that are not too large, and the pirate's lair may be in this archipelago."

One of his subordinates found out a little bit of the result and opened his mouth to report.

Li An looked at the map and nodded: "You have worked hard, the islands in this area are very small, the largest island is only three thousand acres in area, and the pirate lair should be here." ”

"Three thousand acres? How did Li Shilang know so clearly? ”

The subordinates were stunned.

The island south of Yazhou does not have much practical value in this era, and the imperial court will not spend manpower and material resources to rule for this worthless island, and there have always been pirates in this area, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close, so the specific situation of this island is almost not clear, and Li An said three thousand acres as soon as he opened his mouth, which is indeed very surprising.

Li An did not answer the doubts raised by his subordinates, and he did not need to answer at all, and the reason why he knew so much was the impression of later generations, that area was the Xisha Islands in later generations, and the area of the main island of Xisha was about 3,000 acres, so Li An would know so clearly.

"Big brother, the pirate lair closest to Datang has been found, when will we do it."

Li Feiyu had a great plan to do it immediately.

"Don't worry, we've only been in Guangzhou for a few days! You must train your soldiers and horses before you can win a battle. ”

Ang Lee was not in a hurry.

"Big brother, as far as we are excellent soldiers and horses, we still need to be trained! If you play now, you can win in one fight. ”

Li Feiyu said.

"Don't worry, continue to train the troops, in addition, collect more information, in addition to the pirates closest to Datang, pirates from afar should also be collected, in addition, there are also the situations of the countries along the way, we must also investigate them one by one."

Li An said calmly.

"Yes, big brother, Fei Yu understands."

Just when Li An was paying close attention to the news about pirates, the pirate king White Wolf, who was entrenched hundreds of miles south of Yazhou, was furious like thunder.

The ears and eyes hidden in Guangzhou had already seen the soldiers and horses under the command of Li An, and learned that Li An was leading his troops south this time to exterminate the pirates, which made him very angry and angry.

"Since ancient times, the strong dragon has not suppressed the head snake, and the court actually wants to exterminate us, hmph, Lao Tzu is in a hurry, Lao Tzu does not stop doing two things, and destroys them all."

The white wolf roared.

"Lord, don't you see! The soldiers and horses dispatched by the imperial court this time are too strong, we can't beat them! ”

A little minion said, tugging at his mouth.

"Bastard, grow other people's ambitions, extinguish your own prestige, we have been here for more than a hundred years, but we have been exterminated by the official army, there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, there is nothing to fear."

The white wolf was furious, since his grandfather's generation, their group of pirates had gathered here to rob passing merchant ships, and they had also been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial navy, but with the familiarity of the terrain and the bravery of the pirates, they were able to turn evil into good fortune every time, and let the officers and soldiers return with a feather.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to fight with the official army? I'll go. ”

A burly man with an axe at his waist asked for battle with a menacing attitude.

This stupid hat has never seen the formation of the official army, so he is naturally full of confidence, if he sees the strength of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, it is estimated that he will be so frightened that he pees his pants.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, you take dozens of brothers to Guangzhou, kill the commander of the official army, give him a dismount first, let him know how powerful we are."

The white wolf glared and roared.

"Yes, my lord, you have a good rest here, and I will choose a few good brothers to go."

The burly pirate turned and went to prepare.

The white wolf has been a pirate for decades and has formed a domineering character, and he has always stayed in the lair and rarely goes out to see the outside world, so his personality is even more arrogant.

At this moment, he had already learned that the officials and troops of the imperial court would go south to exterminate the pirates in two months, and he felt that he should be able to kill the commander of the imperial court within two months, so that the imperial army's southbound army would lose its commander, so that he would have the upper hand.

Li An's days in Guangzhou were very comfortable, whether it was training troops or collecting all kinds of intelligence, there were subordinates who were responsible for specific things, and he only needed to listen to the report, which was not easy.

A relaxed day, if you don't find something to do, it must be boring, but fortunately, there are dozens of young and beautiful girls in the big mansion where Li An lives, which is enough for Li An.

When Ang Lee was fine, he hugged the beauty and ate the food, not feeling too good, and not wanting to be cool.

"Big brother, something is not quite right recently, there are always some strangers around the house, I don't know what they want to do?"

Li Feiyu got a report from his subordinates and immediately rushed over to tell Li An.

"Strangers? Who could it be? ”

Li An's brows furrowed slightly.

"Big brother, for your safety, do you want to increase the guards?"

Li Feiyu demanded.

"No, get rid of some of the guards! So if they were to assassinate, they would have done it. ”

Ang Lee plans to lure the snake out of the hole.

"Big brother, how can you ensure your safety?"

Li Feiyu said worriedly.

"It's okay for you to lie in ambush around, as long as I send a signal here, immediately surround me and catch all the intent on assassination."

Li An said calmly.

"Big brother, wouldn't this be too risky."

"It doesn't matter, it's worth the risk, if you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger, and the eldest brother will not be assassinated so easily."

Li An said confidently.

"Okay, since the eldest brother has said so, then I can't say anything, I will choose the best guard in martial arts to be by the eldest brother's side."

Li An nodded and said: "Okay, that's it, by the way, how well the soldiers are trained, and whether they can go on the expedition." ”

"Big brother, the soldiers have trained very hard, and they have long been able to fight, and they are becoming more and more proficient."

Li Feiyu replied happily.

Li An nodded and said: "That's good, I lied to everyone and said that I would go south in two months, but in my heart I hope that in a month, I will be able to go on the expedition, if the situation goes well, the eldest brother can change this decision and go south earlier." ”

"That's really good, the soldiers can't wait for a long time, so they are looking forward to going south to suppress the bandits as soon as possible?"

Li Feiyu said with a smile.

"These boys are in a hurry to make military achievements!"

Li An pierced the hearts of the soldiers at a glance, the equipment of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses is getting better and better, the soldiers will rarely die when they go out on the expedition, and there are very few wounded, and every time they fight as long as they kill the enemy, they will get good military merits and rewards, that is, a good opportunity to make a fortune, the soldiers are naturally impatient, if the pirate equipment is more advanced than the Tang Dynasty, half of the soldiers are often killed in a battle, it is estimated that the soldiers will not have such a high enthusiasm, and a large number of deserters may appear.

"Huh! The eldest brother has enough military exploits, but the soldiers still expect to earn a little more for themselves through military exploits? With such a great opportunity, how can you not be in a hurry? ”

Li Feiyu said with a smile, his official position is not small, but it is much lower than Li An, and he is sorry for himself if he is not promoted through this southern expedition.

"You all know that pirates are soft persimmons, the eldest brother will satisfy you, after returning to the capital, you will wait for the promotion!"

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"Big brother, I'll arrange it and invite them to the urn."

Li Feiyu said excitedly.

Ang Lee doesn't care if there are assassins? The guards around him and the large number of soldiers and horses in the distance were enough to protect him, so that he could enjoy his pleasures with confidence.

Ang Lee's method was still good, and the pirates and his party had already begun to prepare to do so after discovering that the guards were relaxed.

This group of pirates, with more than 30 people, all of them big men, immediately divided into three groups and quietly approached the courtyard where Li Anzhu lived, preparing to assassinate.

Along the way, they didn't even encounter a patrol officer, and they approached the courtyard where Li An lived smoothly.

"Listen, there's still singing and dancing inside?"

"Haha! is still happy when he dies, and this surnamed Li is no different from other officials. ”

"There must be a lot of beautiful girls in it, grab a few and bring them back when the time comes, and have fun for a few days."

"Okay, kill the dog officer first, and then grab a few beautiful ones."

"Stop, do it."

After more than 30 people gathered together, they immediately climbed over the wall into the courtyard and quietly approached inside.

At this time, their whereabouts had already been exposed, and the five hundred dragon martial troops had already surrounded and quietly surrounded the courtyard.

"Li Shilang, come, open your mouth."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old beauty peeled off a grape and gently stuffed it into Ang Lee's mouth.

"Open your mouth, it's so informative!"

Li An was unconsciously a little dirty, and looked at the beauty in his arms with a smile.

"Informative? Li Shilang always said words that we didn't understand. ”

The little beauty is familiar with Ang Lee, and she dares to say anything bold.

"That's a lot of information! He's ......"

Before Li An finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting outside, and then the door of the main hall was kicked open, and five or six black-clothed people broke in, and there were more black-clothed people outside.

"Ah......h

More than a dozen beauties were frightened and immediately fled in all directions, leaving Li An alone to sit in the main hall.

"You're Ang Lee."

The man in black in the lead shouted.

"It's this official, you're still here!"

Li An said lightly.

"Haha! You alone, today is your time of death. ”

The leader of the men in black laughed.

"Isn't it stupid to think you're going too well?"

Li An opened his mouth and reprimanded.

"What do you mean?"

When the men in black heard this, they all looked around.

"What a fool, you're already surrounded, surrender quickly! Maybe this official can spare you from dying. ”

Li An said calmly.

"Hmph, who knows if what you said is true, if you want to trick us, it's not so easy, brothers, go up and kill him."

The leading man in black scolded.

"Someone."

Seeing that the five or six men in black had moved, Li An said loudly.

"Roaring ......"

More than a dozen elite guards, armed with swords, shields and strong crossbows, suddenly rushed out from behind the screen, wrapped Li An in the middle, and aimed at the black-clothed man in the room with five or six strong crossbows.

After a cannon shot, more Longwu soldiers rushed in, and the roofs and walls were full of Longwu soldiers, trapping the black-clothed man to death.

"Oops, it's a trap, we're surrounded."

"There are hundreds of officers and soldiers, we definitely can't beat them, what should we do."

"Don't surrender, fight your way out and rush out."

The man in black who led the way, regardless of the lives of his companions, insisted on giving the order to break through.

The surrounding water has long been surrounded by water, how can it be possible to break out alive, the breakthrough of the man in black is a suicide operation, and most of them were shot and killed quickly, and the rest were injured.

"Don't come here, or I'll kill her."

The leader of the man in black grabbed a little beauty who ran around and fell, and put the blade on the delicate neck of the little beauty, as if a slight force could make the little beauty disappear.

Li An touched his chin and said with a smile: "You are just kidnapping a maid with a cheap life, do you think this official will care about the life of a slave?" Ha ha! ”

"Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately."

General Long Wujun shouted.

The remaining men in black threw away their weapons one by one and stood stunned.

The strongest leader of the men in black had no choice but to let go of the kidnapped maid and chose to put down his weapon and surrender, he was already injured and could not escape.

"You're all pirates! It's the White Wolf King's men. ”

Ang Lee guessed.

"You, how do you know?"

The leader of the men in black was shocked.

"Heh, if you don't even know this, how can this official set up an ambush and wait for you? Your king's men have people who have been installed by the ruler, and they know you very well. ”

Li Ang said nonsense.

"It turned out to be a traitor, no wonder we will fail, hateful traitor."

The leader of the men in black said angrily.

"This is a letter of persuasion written by this official to your king, go back and tell your king, it is better to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, the day of the coming of heaven will be your end."

Ang Lee handed a letter into the hands of the leader of the men in black.

"Why, you're going to let me go."

The leader of the men in black was shocked.

"You're just a little Luo, what's the use of arresting you, it's just right to send you a letter."

Li An said lightly.
