Zhao Qianru smiled slightly, and said: "The strongest place where your ability is still on the battlefield, whether it is to lead the overall situation, to plan in the center, or to personally lead the army and fight on the battlefield, you can rest assured. However, this time to deal with pirates in Guangzhou, you mainly rely on the navy to fight, and you are not good at the navy, you mainly have to rely on Li Gongzuo's navy, so the play of your ability is actually greatly reduced. And judging from the comparison of forces, the power of pirates is much smaller than that of Manichaeism anyway. Therefore, I think that it is necessary not to use too much force to pacify pirates. It is enough to have Li Gongzuo's fleet here, and it is mainly necessary to rely on strategy. Actually, with or without you, it's not a big problem. ”

Yang Yan was a little stunned, and said, "What do you mean, leave the task of pacifying pirates to someone else?" ”

Zhao Qianru said: "Are you afraid that others will rob you of your credit?" But you can't do everything alone, and sometimes you have to give it to someone else to do. ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "That's not it, it's just that I never thought about it before." But in his heart, he thought that what Zhao Qianru said was indeed reasonable, he couldn't be good at everything alone, and he should also divide some things for others to do, and said: "You can talk about it, how to rely on strategy to pacify pirates and keep the sea route safe." ”

Zhao Qianru said: "I have thought about this question for a long time, even if it is only Li Gongzuo's fleet, I don't think the pirates will dare to fight him head-on, but rely on the familiarity of the sea routes, and adopt the method of avoiding the real and using the method of avoiding the real and dealing with us." Therefore, we should not rely entirely on force, but should make more use of the contradictions between the three pirates to sow discord, kill people with knives, and break them one by one. ”

Yang Yan listened with great interest, he used to think too much from the perspective of force, and for the understanding of the current situation in Guangzhou, Zhao Qianru obviously went deeper than herself, and said: "Then how do you plan to take advantage of the contradictions between pirates?" ”

Zhao Qianru said: "You have also heard Miss Meng say that now Meng Hengzheng is planning to merge the other two pirates. Meng Lanjun surrendered to the imperial court with the scriptures, of course we will not be annexed by Meng Heng by her, and Xu Hai is naturally not willing to be annexed by Meng Heng, this is the biggest contradiction between the three pirates, we can use this to intensify their contradictions, so that Xu Hai and Meng Heng will merge, and we just take advantage of it. No matter which side of them is destroyed, the winning side will also be greatly damaged, and then we will have Meng Lanjun to help, and we can also take the opportunity to surrender the losing side, and then deal with the remaining side, it will not be difficult. ”

After hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Okay, it's really a good strategy." I don't think it's better for you to stay in Canton and take charge of pacifying the pirates. ”

Zhao Qianru was stunned, in fact, she just put forward her own suggestions to Yang Yan, but she never thought that she would implement it by herself, and couldn't help but say, "I...... May I? ”

Yang Yan gently took her in his arms and said: "Why not, this strategy is what you came up with, of course, it is best for you to implement it, there are Yue Lin and Zhao Ruyu in the administration of Guangzhou, and when the imperial court sends a magistrate in the future, Chen Liang will also go to Guangzhou to help you, and the navy has Li Gongzuo in the army, and I will transfer one of Cao Xun and Gao Zhenzhong to help you, and it is enough for you to dispatch and command in the center." This time, the two of us will work together separately, each in charge of one side, which is called flying with wings. ”

Zhao Qianru's face turned red, and she twisted him, and she was a little eager to try. In fact, she has been smart since she was a child, and when she grew up, she felt that her talent and knowledge were not inferior to others, but she was just a woman, so she had no chance to show her talents, and after marrying Yang Yan, although she also wanted to be Yang Yan's internal helper, but it was inevitable that there were some regrets, and now Yang Yan decided to let herself be in charge of pacifying the pirates, which was just enough for her to show her skills, so she was very happy, and said: "Okay, let me think about it, and make the plan more perfect." ”

Yang Yan smiled: "If you want to wait until tomorrow to think about it, forget it tonight." As he spoke, he hugged her in his arms, ignored her weak protests, kissed her from the jade neck, and finally kissed her tender little mouth greedily.

Zhao Qianru broke free a few times, and finally gave up, and soon under Yang Yan's teasing, the wonderful and charming feeling began to impact her body and mind again, and in the moaning and panting, her limbs couldn't help but wrap around Yang Yan tightly, and responded enthusiastically.

Two days later, the fleet arrived in Huazhou, and after disembarking, Yang Yan immediately began to arrange, first ordering Li Gongzuo to lead the navy back to Guangzhou first, still stationed in Tuen Mun, where he waited for notice. He also ordered the Ma Army Division to select the Feng Army, the Infantry Army Division Zuo Army, and the Guangxi Army, the Central Army, and the Rear Army to return to Jingjiang Mansion, make slight repairs, and prepare to go to Dali. Wei Chang also returned to Jingjiang Mansion with them.

After these two arrangements were made, Yang Yan recruited Cao Xun and Gao Zhen to tell them his next arrangement, and decided that Gao Zhen would take Cui Fengjun, Ma Junsi Zuo Jun, Infantry Army Siqian Army, and Guangxi Army to Guangzhou to assist Zhao Qianru to pacify the pirates, while Cao Xun stayed in Guangxi, stationed troops on the border between the Great Song Dynasty and Zhizhi, and lived as a suspicious army, so that Jiaozhi could not fully support Gao Jianming's rebels, and Ping was ready to support Yang Yan who entered Dali to fight at any time. The two had no objection to such an arrangement, and complied with them one by one.

In addition, because there are still a small number of remnants of Manichaeism who have fled abroad, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more assassinations, and Yang Yan did not dare to be careless, so Gu Zhengyang took Tie Chenglin and Gu Xueping to follow Zhao Qianru to Guangzhou together, so as to protect her safety, and Gu Xueping could also protect Zhao Qianru closely. He also selected 200 people from various armies to join the guards, expanded the number of guards to 300 people, and transferred Qi Dazhu to the guards to be Tie Chenglin's deputy. And Ling Xiang and Huang Mingxia first let Huang Zhengping, Huang Qi, Huang Ye and other Huang family disciples go back to Yongzhou first and re-establish the Huang family, and they went to Dali with Yang Yan with Huang Taisong and Huang Taibai.

After everything is arranged, Yang Yan still has to go to Guangzhou with Zhao Qianru first, and after investigating Cheng Yuanzhou, he will send troops to Dali. So the next day, the army marched and headed for Guangzhou.
