Chapter Seventy-Three

Yunxiu Island mobilized 100,000 troops to blockade Cili. Cut off communication between inside and outside the island. This was a headache for Attis, although by this time Attis had taken full control of Cily and had recruited troops on the island, bringing the number of troops to 70,000. But the supply of troops has become the biggest problem.

According to the military system of Yunxiu Island, all the troops stationed outside will only have three months of normal supplies, but the imperial court will provide them on time every month.

Since Addis took control of Cili Island, the supply of Yunxiu Island has naturally been cut off, and now there are 40,000 more soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass in the stock can only be eaten for a month.

It is possible to increase taxes on Cili, but the taxes on Yunxiu Island have remained low for many years, and although Adis has a great prestige in the army, it is average among the people. Now that Attis has just taken control of Cily, the army has been expanded, and the people have already been dissatisfied, and if they rashly increase taxes, it will inevitably cause the resentment of the people, and if the people do not want to, the consequences can be imagined.

"Dashuai!" A partial general walked into the marshal's mansion in Addis and said: "I have just recounted the grain and grass, and the grain and grass purchased on the island can last for forty days. All the ships that had planned to go to sea to buy grain and grass were blocked. ”

"That's how you got the food?" Ardis said.

The general bowed his head and did not speak.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Ardis said.

"The people don't seem willing to sell us food!" The general said.

"I don't want to!" Attis stood up in exasperation and said, "Good! Originally, I wanted to leave a little leeway, but now it seems that there is no need! ”

Ardis walked back and forth in the big tent a few times and said: "Send someone to Huo Dahu's house to buy grain, if he dares not to sell it!" Take it directly! ”

"Yes!" The general said yes and went out.

Instead of increasing taxes on Cily, Attis forcibly bought food from more than a dozen families on the island, which alleviated the supply problem.

All that's left is to hurry up and train the troops.

Ardis divided the 30,000 veterans into three teams of 10,000 each. Of these, 20,000 were stationed in two ports on the island. The remaining team is responsible for patrolling and policing the island. And Ardis himself trained the new army himself.

The army patrolling the sea on Cili Island every day basically maintained about 50,000 troops, intercepting ships trying to enter the island and trying to leave the island every day. On this day, it happens to be the turn of the whole UK.

Standing on the deck, Quan Ying saw from a distance a small boat approaching this direction, piloted by a sergeant from the Jing Navy, but one of the people on board was obviously not a sergeant.

After these people came to the ship of Quan Ying, the leading sergeant Jing said: "General Quan, this person claims to be the housekeeper of Huo Dahu's family on the island of Sily, and he has a confidential matter that he wants to report, so his subordinates have brought him over. ”

Quan Ying looked at the man and said, "I'm Jing Haijun Quan Ying, if there is anything, you can tell me!" ”

The man glanced at Quan Ying and said respectfully: "Our master said that this matter is very important, and he must see Su Shuai to say it!" ”

Quan Ying was furious when he heard this, looked at the man and said, "You don't want to tell me!" Come! Throw me into the sea! ”

A couple of sergeants came up and lifted the man to throw him into the sea.

"General Ying, this matter is indeed a big deal! It's about the lives of hundreds of our Huo family! The voice shouted.

"There is some truth in what you said, let it go!" Jeon Ying said.

After the sergeants put the man down, the man said in shock: "Please also ask General Quan to take me to see Su Shuai as soon as possible!" ”

"Gu Daquan, you take this person to Su Shuai, don't stop on the road!" Jeon Ying commanded.

Yunxiu Island Wangcheng

"Su Shuai, how credible do you think this matter is?" Long Er looked at Su Shuai and asked.

"There will be no false things about food and grass! Lao Chen thinks that this matter is still more credible, after all, the Huo family has lived in Cili Island for generations, and it is the largest household in Cily, so there is no need to collude with Adis and bear the infamy. The only thing that can be unexpected is that the Huo family was forced by Ardis to lure us to the island. But the old minister observed that the housekeeper sent by the Huo family did not seem to be a good liar. So Lao Chen still thinks this matter is credible! However, Lao Chen still thinks that since we have already formulated a battle plan, it is better not to change it easily. After all, this matter still needs to be planned, once it is known by Adis during this period, then the Huo family will definitely suffer, and the operation will naturally not be successful! Su Lifeng said.

"The Huo family said that waterway, did Lao Shuai know it before?" Long Er asked.

"I didn't know before, but the aborigines on these islands naturally know more about the islands they live on than we do, and I've already sent someone to check it out!" Su Lifeng said.

"Okay, let me think about this matter and make a decision tomorrow!" Long Er said.

"Then the old minister will take his leave!" After Su Lifeng finished speaking, he got up and left.

After Su Lifeng left, Long Er asked Wen Bufan and Isabel to clear up.

"I'll take a look." Wen Bufan said after listening to Long'er.

"It could be a trap." Long Er said.

"It's okay, we have the little monkey with us, even if it's a trap, no one can keep me!" Wen Bufan said.

"I'll go with you!" Isabel said.

"I'll just go alone, and it's easy to run!" Wen Bufan said with a smile.

"Both of them are equally good runners." Isabel said.

Wen Bufan looked at Isabel and said with a smile: "It's okay, the two of them will also take care of it." ”

At this time, Isabel looked at the somewhat lost dragon and said, "You still have to preside over the overall situation here, the two of us will go, there will be no danger." ”

Long Er looked at Isabel gratefully, Long Er is indeed inseparable, I don't know if there are any people who support Ardis in the government and the opposition, and the whereabouts of the Night King are unknown, I don't know when he came out. Although Yunxiu Island was still calm on the surface at this time, it was actually already surging.

Dragons really can't do without this central place.

"Don't worry, let's go and come back quickly, maybe there will be a harvest!" Wen Bufan said with a smile.

"Good! I await your good news. Long Er said.

That night, Wen Bufan and Isabel boarded the ships of the Jing Navy and headed for Cily.

"Master Wen, although the sea here is not cold, there are many undercurrents around this West Island, and if you swim there at night, I am afraid it will be dangerous!" Quan Ying, who was standing next to Wen Bufan, said.

"General Quan, thank you for your kindness, we will be careful." Wen Bufan said with a smile.

After a while, the ship came to a sea where the sea was calm, and the island of Cily could be seen in the distance by the moonlight.

"The housekeeper of the Huo family got off the boat from here last time." Jeon Ying said.

"Okay, then we'll get off the boat from here." Wen Bufan looked at Isabel and said. 1
