The waves were lapping against the side of the ship in waves, and Yun Hao listened to the ups and downs of the tide while listening to the report of the majestic sea.

They said that Zhang Zhongjian's lair was in a place called Penghu, and he also built a port called Luermen. Although he lost a lot of manpower today, he still had more than 20,000 people in his hands and no less than 400 warships. Xiong Kuohai said, and Liu Renliang marked it on the chart.

The charts of the Tang Dynasty were very non-standardized, and it can be said that before Yun Hao went to the sea, there was no such thing as a chart. It's all based on the experience of the old fishermen, or the old captains.

In recent years, Li Wenzhong has basically marked some charts of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in Liaodong. However, the charts of the East China Sea and the South China Sea are still blank. The shape of Yizhou, as well as Penghu, were filled in by Yunhao. However, Yun Hao is not a navigator or a geographer after all. The approximate location is marked, and as for the reef and shoals, it can only be left to old fishermen and luck.

"The hydrology of Luermen is complicated, so it's easy for us to get in, but it's hard to get out." Yun Hao looked at the chart that was three flat and four not round, and said helplessly. In fact, because the draft was too deep, Yun Hao had been sailing far away from the land or islands.

"We don't have many boats, and the confession says that there is fresh water in Luermen. Even if we want to be sleepy, we can't trap them. What's more, we only have these two ships. If you want to block the vast sea, it's easier said than done! Looking at the chart, Li Wenzhong said helplessly.

"Handsome! The subordinates feel that there is fraud in this! Liu Renliang looked at the chart and said suddenly.

"There's no place for you to talk here!" Li Wenzhong glared at Liu Renliang, afraid that he would say something inappropriate and cause Yun Hao's dissatisfaction.

"Let him speak!" Yun Hao doesn't have the temper of other old marshals, if under Li Jing or Li Ji's account, Liu Renliang talks like this without the coach asking, and he will be pushed out and beheaded without talking nonsense.

"Handsome! There are many islands and reefs around Luermen. In such places, the sea is generally relatively shallow, and our big ships can only enter when the tide is high. If you can't evacuate in time before the tide goes out, you will probably run aground in a place like Luermen. And the pirates' ships are generally about ten zhang long, and the draft is much shallower than ours. Once we run aground and can't move, they're still free to sail. We've become targets, even though we're not afraid to jump.

But they could have organized a fireship attack, or sent water spirits to dive underwater and scuttle our ships......! Liu Renliang didn't say anything, but everyone was excited. If that happens, it will really be a failure to call the earth and the earth ineffective. It seems that the ship has big difficulties.

"Liu Renliang said it well!" Yun Hao glanced at Li Wenzhong, he had been training at sea for several years, but his head was still thinking on land. This Liu Renliang is very good, his brain is active and his eyes are diligent. After a few years of training, I am afraid that he is also a generation of famous maritime generals.

"It's all taught by the big handsome, and I have been with the big handsome for these days, and I have also got some of the aura of the big handsome!" Li Wenzhong hurriedly bowed down and replied.

He is not afraid that Liu Renliang will occupy his position, and he has earned enough official positions and financial exploits at sea over the years. It's time to go back to Chang'an and find an idle yamen errand. The title of a marquis, already firmly on the head. Looking at what Your Majesty means, Feng Guogong is a fool's dream. It's better to be in Chang'an and enjoy the rest of your life. The days of turbulence at sea have long been tired. The baby on the Loess Plateau is always floating on the sea when he has nothing to do.

Thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants, Li Wenzhong is definitely a good material for being an official. Yun Hao smiled and nodded as a tacit acquiescence, and said to Liu Renliang: "Tell me, what should we do now?" ”

"I believe that it is not appropriate to attack now. Rather, it should be delayed! Now Zhang Zhongjian is far more uncomfortable than us, and the boat is not as fast as us. Escaping will definitely be overtaken, and we block the sea. Just don't give him a chance to escape! The confession said that they numbered more than 20,000 people, although there was fresh water on the island. There is no problem with drinking water, but there is no land on the island. Even if you plant land, you can't harvest it right away, and you can't eat it for tens of thousands of people. Liu Renliang looked at the chart and said.

"You're right, it's really our best bet. But we can't do that! Yun Hao glanced at Liu Ren's track.

Everyone didn't understand, because what Liu Renliang said was indeed the best choice, why not follow Liu Renliang's strategy?

"In addition to tens of thousands of pirates on the island, there are also tens of thousands of people they plundered from Quanzhou. Although the exact number is not known, the number is at least more than 20,000. Guess what pirates eat when they run out of food? Yun Hao said as he looked at the sea outside the porthole.

"They'll eat ......!" Wang Zhe gasped.

Cannibalism is not something that has never happened on the grassland. In winter, the wind blows white, and in the spring there is nothing to eat. Killing those slaves and eating meat is a common thing! Wang Zhe did not think that the pirates at sea were more civilized than the barbarians on the grassland. Once the trapped have no food to eat, they will definitely eat people.

"Yes! They will eat all the men and women who have been plundered, so Liu Renliang's strategy is in our best interest, but we can't do this. Once we do, we will be the sinners of the ages who caused this tragedy. Yun Hao's fingers slammed on the table one by one, as if they were hitting everyone's hearts. Ask yourself, if such a tragedy is going to happen. Whether their conscience can get by. That's tens of thousands of lives, not tens of thousands of salted fish.

"What does that mean ......!" Li Wenzhong asked tentatively. The room was full of people, and only he dared to ask.

"Let's rush in, and the center blooms." Yun Hao slammed his fist on the table, shaking the tea cup on the table.

"Center flowering? Cannot! Dashuai is the future of my Tang Sailor, and he must not risk his life. This time, let the subordinates go down. Liu Renliang has also experienced well these days, so let him command the Zhenhai. The marshal went ashore and waited with the Duke of Yue. The last general gave Zhang Zhongjian's head and brought it back to the marshal. Li Wenzhong was so frightened that his soul flew away. Yun Hao's idea is to work hard, and he is not afraid of it. But I'm afraid that after working hard, there will be no one to take care of it at home.

Although Yun Hao's force value for killing the enemy is not as good as that of ordinary soldiers, he is better than commanding. As long as he has the ability to strategize, he will absolutely not be able to defeat the battle, and this is already a fact recognized by the officers and men. But Yun Hao's soldiers can fight, not all because Yun Hao can command. You must know that no matter how well you command, you will still fight a war, and you will die.

These soldiers are not afraid of death in battle, and the most important reason is that they are guaranteed. If you die, no matter if someone is buried, there is someone to take care of the family. The imperial court will issue a bereavement pension, and the sailor will also mention another bereavement pension. If you are disabled, the court and the sailor will also support you for a lifetime. Yun Hao's greatest ability is actually not to fight, but to operate.

Now, the cash cow of the entire water division. Li Wenzhong's biggest backer in the imperial court is going to the center of Luermen to blossom. Li Wenzhong felt that his head was about to bloom, and without Yun Hao's protection, he had to be torn to pieces by Li Jing.

"Yes, Dashuai, you can't risk this kind of thing. Just let Li Wenzhong and them go, and they will definitely fight beautifully. Wang Zhe also said nervously.

Yun Hao was silent and didn't speak, and no one in the room spoke.

After a long time, Liu Renliang said: "Handsome! Is it that after Yue Gong's men and horses arrive, let's attack Luermen together. Yue Gong's ship is much smaller than ours, and it shouldn't run aground. If you have their wings, you can have a better grasp. ”

"That's right! Dashuai, it's better to wait for Yue Gong to arrive. Let's attack together, so that even if we run aground, Yue Gong will protect us. Li Wenzhong's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't wait to hug Liu Renliang and kiss him.

It stands to reason that Quanzhou is Feng An's defense area, and there is no reason to be a shrinking turtle when such a thing happens. However, although Feng Ang has lived in Lingnan for generations, he is not familiar with naval warfare. The total number of warships under his command was less than a hundred. There is simply no strength to fight such a huge pirate at sea!

This time, Li Er's will was to let Yun Hao lead the Tang Dynasty Sailors, which means that Feng An's ship was theoretically under Yun Hao's control. But this is just a theory, even Li Er has no good way to Feng An, he can only reward and appease. What did Yun Hao take to let this unruly Yue Guogong send troops?

Yun Hao shook his head helplessly, it was not easy for Feng Ang to send troops. Feng Ang put it bluntly, he is still a warlord in Lingnan. The most important thing for a warlord is the army under his command. This is the capital to ensure his rich life, and even to protect his life. Once this capital is gone, his life will come to an end. Yun Hao, who knows the political game, understands it very well.

Quanzhou fell for a few months, why didn't Feng Ang send troops? The coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang were frequently harassed by Zhang Zhongjian, and Feng Ang counterattacked for Mao not to see him. Guangzhou City is the richest city in the south, why Mao didn't see Zhang Zhongjian to attack Guangzhou?

In the final analysis, the imperial court set up a city department in Quanzhou. Feng Ang can't collect a penny of taxes in Quanzhou, and if he has no interests, he will naturally not fight to death. Guangzhou is different, although Guangzhou also has a city. However, in order not to irritate Feng Ang too much, Li Er allocated the Guangzhou City Bo Division to Feng Ang for management. Of course, even if the imperial court sent people to Guangzhou, it would not be able to control the Guangzhou Bo Division.

If Zhang Zhongjian attacks Guangzhou, Feng Ang will definitely fight to the death with Zhang Zhongjian, and he will not give up without shedding the last drop of blood.

It's not profitable, it's too early! What do you want Feng Ang to send troops now, not only to send troops, but also to contribute to life and death. What a price to pay for such a large amount of blood. This condition is what he Yun Hao can call the shots?

Whether it is Liu Renliang or Li Wenzhong, because of the relationship of status, I can't think of so much. As for Wang Zhe, he came to make soy sauce at all. He wished that the safer the better, as Li Jing's person. He did the errand ordered by Li Jing and expressed his loyalty to the imperial court. Fight to the death for the Tang Dynasty? The fat and oily Wang Daguan will not give up his life easily.

"Don't wait for Yue Gong, let's enter Luermen at high tide tomorrow. Violators! Chop! Yun Hao said categorically.

"No!" Seeing that Yun Hao made up his mind, everyone agreed in unison!

The sky is covered with burning clouds, and the morning glow does not go out and the evening glow travels thousands of miles. It looks like tomorrow is the weather number, a weather suitable for fighting.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Miyamoto-kun, I'm in trouble. Yun Hao's two ships are too strong, the method we discussed may not work? Zhang Zhongjian, who was frightened, jumped off the boat and was very depressed when he saw Miyamoto Musashi's first words who came to greet him.

"How did it come to this?" Miyamoto Musashi was almost speechless when he saw Zhang Zhongjian, who was shirtless and wearing bamboo armor. Zhang Zhongjian has always been brave and ruthless, and when did he wear bamboo armor. Not to mention, the huge Mo knife in his hand that looked like his life was gone. And the warship when he came back was not the big ship he was when he went to sea.

"Yun Hao's two ships are as big as mountains. We approached about two hundred paces before we were hit by gunpowder fired from the ship. The gunpowder weapon is so powerful that if it hits this ship, it will be useless. The gang-jumping tactics we played have completely failed. In the future, this sea is the world of Datang. In my opinion, it would be better for us to flee to the open sea overnight. Zhang Zhongjian felt that he was standing here according to his original idea. Only death awaits him, not war.

"But the walled city here has begun to take shape, and in order to attract Yun Hao here, the casualties are also very huge. Besides, not all the warships that followed you out have been sunk, and many will return here to join us. Just withdraw now? Miyamoto Musashi's eyes widened, the cost of retreating now was too great. He didn't understand a little, Zhang Zhongjian, who had a burst temper and was unruly, why was he so afraid of Yun Hao's two battleships, could it be said that those two battleships were really invincible?

"Even if it's repaired, give up, and there are still people with the things here. Let's hurry up and go as soon as the wind is right. Yun Hao's big ship is not only big, but also very fast. If they catch up, it's hopeless! Zhang Zhongjian took a sip of wine and muttered. It's not so much talking to Miyamoto Musashi as it is talking to yourself.

Miyamoto Musashi's heart sank, and it seemed that Zhang Zhongjian was frightened by Yun Hao.

"Even if you return to Jiaozhi, you will still be caught up by Yun Hao. What then? Run again? ”

"Let's not go back, let's go all the way south. I heard that after sailing thousands of miles south, there will be a continent. There are a lot of natives living on it! Let's go there. ”

"But that's just a legend!" Miyamoto Musashi was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, he thought Zhang Zhongjian was crazy.
