"Lord Wang, things are clear, those who want to achieve great things will not cling to personal grievances. Hai Dongqing's ambition is not small, and he will never lose a big one because of a small one. Therefore, if the Guishan Island cottage wants to be submitted, he will not be able to ask for it. If the lord of Guishan Island shows some sincerity and presents the real murderer who killed Qiu Biao as a meeting gift, then the last trace of mustard among them will also disappear. Lin Jue said softly.

"You mean...... Take you as a meeting gift to Hai Dongqing? Guo Bing was shocked again, he somewhat understood what Lin Jue meant when he said about the bright and bright island.

"Exactly, Lord Wang, the owner of the cottage on Guishan Island has agreed to assist us in exterminating the sea bandits. This time, she will pretend to be a surrender to the pirates, capture me and send me to the bandits' lair, and negotiate the terms of submission with the pirates. She will bring more than 100 celebrities to the island. When our officers and men attack, they can seize a wharf to lure them to the island, or they can kill people and set fire to the bandits' lair, so as to create conditions for the officers and men to land on the island. What does the prince think? ”

Guo Bing's eyes showed excitement, he stood up and paced slowly, and suddenly stood up and frowned: "Although your method is feasible, this king has a few puzzles. First, wouldn't your life be lost immediately after you went to the island, and Hai Dongqing would kill you immediately, so what good would that do you? Second, this king knows that the bandit leader of Guishan Island is familiar with you, and you once teamed up to kill Qiu Biao. But why do you think she won't be backwater? If she leaked our plan to Hai Dongqing, wouldn't Hai Dongqing be able to ambush us with a plan, wouldn't it be a disaster? Third, with what you said, I am afraid that it will still be difficult to work. What role can more than 100 people play in the nest of tens of thousands of pirates? I'm afraid I can't move at all. ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "The prince is wise. Let me know more about it. I know that after going to the island, Hai Dongqing is afraid that he will have to do it when he sees me, but the prince does not have to worry about this. I already have a plan to deal with it, and I can act on it when the opportunity comes. If I had been killed, if I had been able to help the prince get rid of the bandits, then I would have died as I deserved. At least, although I am dead, my Lin family can be preserved, and when the time comes, the prince will take care of my Lin family. ”

Guo Bing squinted at Lin Jue, and he didn't believe his righteous and awe-inspiring words in his heart. Just now, he dared to threaten himself in order to save his life, but now he has become a saint who has become a murderer, a liar. But this point is actually not important, he Lin Jue has a way, or he has no way, this is his own strategy, if he really dies, he can't blame others.

"As for the question of whether the lord of Guishan Island can be relied on, I can guarantee my life. In fact, the owner of Guishan Island is in my house, and it was she who secretly protected me several times that allowed me to escape from Hai Dongqing's men. She and I have actually become good friends, and the reason why she is willing to take risks this time is actually conditional. ”

"Conditions? Haha, I say, how can there be such a good thing? It's good if there are conditions, but it's strange if there are no conditions. Guo Bing nodded.

"In fact, the people of Guishan Island have long wanted to be bandits, and they have been treated as a thorn in the flesh by the imperial court. But they were worried that the imperial court would not let them go, so this time they wanted to reach an agreement with the imperial court through this matter, that is, to appease the Guishan Island cottage, pardon all the personnel of the cottage, and let them become naturalized citizens and stay in place to farm, fish and hunt. They will no longer be a nuisance, and they will not oppose the court. I think this matter is the best solution for the court and for them, and the prince is fully capable of helping them do this. If the prince can agree, this time not only can solve the problem of bandits, but also make the Guishan Island cottage disappear from now on, which is a double credit for killing two birds with one stone. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Guo Bing suddenly realized that the Guishan Island cottage wanted to recruit peace, and asked the imperial court to pardon all the crimes of the cottage bandits and allow them to naturalize on the spot. It's a tough condition, but it's not that hard to achieve. After all, they are the trouble in the heart of the imperial court, in addition to this cancer, it is also what the imperial court wants to see the most. In contrast, those conditions can be agreed upon.

"I see, if she really has this mind, this king can call the shots, and he promised them. But...... Lin Jue, you are not small, you have made friends with the bandit leader, and you are still harboring her at home, do you know what the crime of harboring bandits should be? ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Lord Wang, is it interesting to say this?" She is a bandit, but a bandit is better for me than an officer or soldier. She can come and protect my life in secret, who cares if I live or die but her? ”

Guo Bing smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, this king is just saying, in fact, this king has no prejudice against the people in the green forest." There are also people among them who have true feelings and true intentions. Some of the guards in my palace were born in the green forest. The king doesn't really want to blame you. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." The third question that the prince just said will be answered by the prince now. In fact, the so-called internal and external cooperation does not necessarily need to stir up the restlessness of the other party's nest. More than 100 people are indeed too few people, and they may not be able to achieve any climate. But at least one thing, in the bandits' nest, you can find out the opponent's troop deployment and fortifications, as well as the location and defense of the dock, which are extremely advantageous information. These things are often more advantageous than murder and arson. ”

Guo Bing nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, if you can find out the information about the terrain, fortifications, soldiers and horses on the island, and the location of the dock, it will certainly be extremely beneficial to the battle." There are pigeons in the army that can use the pigeons as a liaison to send information, which the king agrees with. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said: "The prince is a person who has led soldiers to fight, so he naturally understands the importance of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, so I won't mention this matter." As for the problem that the other party's troops are several times more than ours that the prince has been mentioning, I will analyze and analyze it with the prince now. Although the pirates claim to be 50,000, their number should be less than 40,000. Of course, this number is already four or five times that of the Ning Navy, and if it is really 8,000 against 30,000 or 40,000 people, the chances of winning are still very small. But don't forget that the bandits' lair is Peach Blossom Island, and there are still more than ten islands around it that are controlled by him. These islands are guarding the bandits' nest on Peach Blossom Island, and there must be soldiers and horses stationed on them. I don't know the exact number, but there are tens of thousands of pirates stationed on the more than a dozen surrounding islands. It's hard to control an island without a thousand or eight hundred. ”

Guo Bing slapped his chin and said, "Exactly, don't you say that this king has forgotten this stubble." When this king led his army to suppress bandits, they dispatched from several islands northwest of Peach Blossom Island to intercept our naval army. There are a few of those islands, which were home to thousands of pirates back then, and now at least half of them are stationed on the surrounding islands. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's it." In fact, for them, the periphery is the most important, and it is already the limit to be able to keep half of the pirates on Peach Blossom Island. Therefore, if he can land on the island, the Ning Navy will not face all the pirates, but less than 20,000 pirates at most. There is no mistake in this account. ”

Guo Bing nodded slightly. But suddenly he shouted: "No, once the fight starts, how can the pirates not reinforce it?" Besides, you talk about it, but you don't tell the king how to fight on the island without being entangled in the sea by pirates? That's where the more important thing comes in. ”

Lin Jue laughed. "Lord Wang, do you agree with what you said earlier? If it is recognized, you can talk to the prince about this key issue below. ”

Guo Bing frowned and said, "Even if you say what you said before, this king can accept it, you can quickly say this crucial step." ”

Lin Jue smiled slightly, pointed to the floating clouds in the sky and said, "How can you not be entangled by bandits and fight on the sea, this matter can only depend on God." ”

"What? Licentious! Bastard bastard, and entertaining this king? Guo Bing was furious, reached out and grabbed the only chair that was still alive, and was about to smash it towards Lin Jue. He was really about to be mad by Lin Jue, this bastard really didn't take himself seriously.

"Don't smash it, Lord Wang, I'm not talking about resignation, but relying on the time." Lin Jue shouted this sentence in time before the chair and his body.

Guo Bing's chair was raised in the air, stopped there, rolled his eyes, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lin Jue said: "The prince will sit down first, and let me explain slowly." Aren't you tired of lifting a chair? ”

Guo Bing snorted coldly, put the chair on the ground heavily, and his wrist was a little painful, and he exerted too much force, and he may have twisted his muscles. He rubbed his wrist and said angrily: "Say it quickly, don't sell it." ”

Lin Jue nodded hurriedly and said, "Lord Wang, ask a question." Are the pirates' ships big or small? ”

"Needless to say? Where did they come from? They all shuttled the sea in small boats, thousands of small boats, and only a few large ships. This is all information obtained by the Ning Navy. Guo Bing said angrily.

"Then let me ask again, is the warship of my Ning Navy Navy big or small?"

"Then you need to ask? The naval forces of the Ning Navy are now equipped with 237 warships, all of which are two-masted wooden ships, three zhang two high, five zhang six wide, and 22 zhang long. Each ship can carry more than 200 soldiers, set up three bed crossbows, and shoot two cables...... "Guo Bing said like a few treasures.

Lin Jue raised his big finger and praised: "The prince is really concerned about the suppression of bandits, and he knows everything about the equipment of the Ning Navy. So may I ask again, which of the small boats of the pirates and the big ships of our navy can withstand the wind and waves better? ”

Guo Bing opened his mouth and scolded: "Are you entertaining this king?" Does this need to be asked? Bastard stuff. ”

Lin Jue said, "Please answer me." ”

Guo Bing got up and wanted to smash the chair, but he still held back, and said: "The bigger the boat, the more it can withstand the wind and waves, this is a truth that three-year-old children know, don't you know?" ”

Lin Jue slapped his hand and said, "Okay." In other words, one of the advantages of our navy's large ships over small sea bandit ships is that their ability to withstand wind and waves is much stronger. So let's imagine that if the time of the officers and men to attack is when the sea is stormy and rough, will the small boats of the pirates still be able to crisscross freely and fight us on the sea? ”

“……”

"Assuming they can't even go to sea, can they just cower on the island and watch our captain drive straight to the island and launch an attack on the island? Can you only give up using the sea as a battlefield and can only fight us on the island? Can't even help each other? ”

Lin Jue threw out a series of questions, but none of these questions actually needed to be answered, because the answers were all there. Guo Bing looked at Lin Jue with his mouth open and stunned, what Lin Jue said was essentially only four words: 'promote strengths and avoid weaknesses'. The most powerful thing about the other party is that countless small boats are interspersed with large ship formations, and then the frogman dives and sinks the big boat, supplemented by a hook hook and hook to board the ship to attack. It's all based on their ability to fight at sea. If they can't even stay on the surface of the sea.
