The matter of Xia Hongsheng and Li Xiaogong's return to Ryukyu, even among the Tang Dynasty sailors in Ryukyu, not many people know about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Only the marines who participated in the escort, the adjutant general who temporarily took the place of Li Xiaogong to command the affairs of the army, and some other generals knew the whole story.

The officers and men of the sailor division are in a state of indignation, and the military spirit is available, and it should be the time to dispatch immediately. However, Li Xiaogong ordered the generals to suppress the soldiers and restrain their behavior according to the various units led by the station, and still remained in the Ryukyus, holding their troops still.

Many sailor generals also had doubts about this.

"General, at the moment, the crowd is angry, the military spirit is available, and the Japanese country is in a panic, and it must be poorly prepared, it is a good time for us to attack!" The adjutant general said to Li Xiaogong: "But it seems that more than a month has passed, why don't we still attack the Japanese state?" ”

Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said with a smile: "This, General Wang, you said that you stepped on an ant to death, how many feet?" ”

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, but Li Xiaogong asked so, and he had to answer. So he said: "Return to the general, one foot is enough." ”

Li Xiaogong nodded, still smiling and asked, "What about stepping on ten ants?" ”

The adjutant general had to reply stubbornly: "Back to the general, don't say it's ten, even a hundred, and one foot is enough!" ”

"That's right!" Li Xiaogong nodded: "Since it's all one foot, why not wait for more ants and step on it to death?" ”

The adjutant general was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Li Xiaogong meant, and asked: "What does the general mean is to deliberately set aside some time for the Japanese people to prepare, and let them prepare in all their ways, and it is best to deploy everything from all over the world, so that we can catch them all?" ”

Li Xiaogong laughed, raised his hand and patted the deputy general's shoulder, and said, "Don't panic, don't panic." If anyone asks again, tell him about stepping on ants. Go ahead, go see the training. ”

The deputy general retired, Xia Hongsheng came out from behind, sighed, and said: "The little nephew is really wronged, Your Majesty said that in addition to training the sailors, the little nephew was sent to solve the problem of purchasing grain from Linyi State, but the little nephew has not yet got grain from Linyi State, so there is no food to give, and the little nephew has to find a way by himself...... Isn't this bullying? ”

Xia Hongsheng said with a wry smile as he gave the letter in his hand to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong took the letter, looked down, and said with a smile: "More than one million catties of grain, 10,000 soldiers and horses of the sailors, enough to eat for a month, tighter, two months." In a month's time, we can't beat Osumi Castle? Just with those local chickens and dogs in the Japanese country, can they hold out in front of the Tang Dynasty soldiers for a month? One million catties of grain, enough. ”

"Your Majesty, this is asking the little nephew for food!" Xia Hongsheng shook his head and smiled: "Those spies in Lin Yiguo haven't sent back news for so long, either they have an accident - this chance is very small, then they are holding back and wanting to make a big one." ”

"It's just a matter of working carefully to find out the news, and they should send back the information as soon as possible." Li Xiaogong didn't care, and said a little unhappily.

Xia Hongsheng didn't say anything, where is the function of a spy that can be compared to those in the army? Li Xiaogong didn't understand, and Xia Hongsheng didn't bother to explain.

Those spies were all sent to Linyi State after Xia Hongsheng arrived in Quanzhou, and the purpose was very direct, that is, to find out how much grain Linyi Kingdom could produce every year, how much grain it received, how much grain it had in stock, and so on. But since the spies set out, there have only been two incoming messages. It has been three or four months since the last time a spy sent back information from Lin Yi Kingdom, but no new news has come back.

In a place like Lin Yiguo, nothing should happen to these experienced spies. Unless it is force majeure. Xia Hongsheng was actually secretly a little anxious in his heart.

If there had been no accident on the ship, it would have arrived in Persia by this time. In each country along the way, two spies will be dropped to collect intelligence information, and then take the cargo ship back when it returns. The main information they gathered this time was also about food and seeds.

The ship of the Yoshihito Firm came back, but I was afraid that it would be two months later. For two months, I hope to be able to make the prototype of the red-coated cannon during this period, try it with the Wa Kingdom first, see the power, and wait for this period of time, after returning to Chang'an, and then carefully improve and improve.

"General!" Suddenly, there was a low cry outside.

When Li Xiaogong heard this, it was General Wang, the deputy general, so he also whispered: "Come in." ”

Because Li Xiaogong and Xia Hongsheng have not "returned" at the moment, they are still in a state of "missing whereabouts, and there are many bad lucks", so this is not in the barracks, but on a ship. Only the lieutenant general in front of Li Xiaogong knew about this, and the other generals, although they knew that Li Xiaogong and Xia Hongsheng had secretly returned to the Ryukyus, did not know where to hide.

"General Qiqi! The spy has sent back information! General Wang said as he handed the translated letter to Li Xiaogong.

"Where?" Li Xiaogong asked as he took it.

"If you go back to the general, it's from Lin Yiguo!" Said the adjutant general.

When Li Xiaogong and Xia Hongsheng heard this, they looked at each other, they really said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived!

"Hehe, I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived." Li Xiaogong smiled, looked down at the letter in his hand, but couldn't help but change his tone: "What? …… Instigating civil strife in Linyi?! ”

When Xia Hongsheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately leaned over. Li Xiaogong handed the paper to Xia Hongsheng and said: "Those spies came to the country of Linyi and found out that the lord of the country, Fan Touli, and the powerful minister Mahaman Doga have always had a gap with each other, so Yu Maha Mandola called his lord Fan Touli wants to set up his son Fan Zhenlong as the prince, in order to protect his son Fan Zhenlong from usurping power after his son Fan Zhenlong ascends the throne, so they must strike first and design to kill Maha Mandolga. Under the spy design, Mahamandagata was convinced and had decided to launch a coup d'état and strike first. ”

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly lowered his head and looked carefully, and when he saw it, he couldn't help laughing.

"Virtuous nephew, why are you laughing?" Li Xiaogong saw Xia Hongsheng suddenly laughing, so he asked.

"Little nephew, this is happy." Xia Hongsheng turned his head to stare at Li Xiaogong, his eyes were scorching, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and said to Li Xiaogong with bewitchment: "Uncle, do you want another merit to expand the territory and open up the territory?!" ”

Li Xiaogong gasped and said in surprise: "Virtuous nephew, the matter of the Wa Kingdom has not been resolved, and you have the idea of Lin Yi again?" The Wa Kingdom is in the north, and the Linyi is in the south, and they are thousands of miles away. There are more than 10,000 soldiers available to this naval division, and if it is carried out on both sides, it will be necessary to beware of Baekje and Goguryeo, how can it be eaten?!
