Chang Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, how many times have you said it, don't call me an old man, I'm still young." ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Hehe, I forgot for a while, by the way, why are you here?" ”

Chang Xun was angry and said, "What? I can't come? ”

Yuan Fang was surprised and asked, "You are here, what should you do on the shore?" ”

Chang Xun said proudly: "Do you think that I am the only one in my Tiger Roar Legion who can fight?" Let me tell you, my generals have followed me for many years, and they have fought countless battles, and any one of them can be taken care of. ”

Yuan Fang thought about it, he was very familiar with the Tiger Roar Legion, and he also knew a lot of officers among them, to be honest, there were so many legions in the empire, if you want to say that the combat effectiveness and military discipline still belong to the Tiger Roar Legion.

Yuan Fang smiled and teased: "According to what you say, then haven't you become a roadblock for the generals under your command?" ”

Chang Xun's smile froze on his face when he heard this, and he was stunned for a long time without speaking. Yuan Fang pulled Chang Xun to sit down: "I just said it casually, don't take it to heart, if the Tiger Roar Legion didn't have you as the legion leader, it wouldn't be the Tiger Roar Legion." ”

Hearing Yuan Fang say this, Chang Xun's face was a little better, but he was still a little lost in his heart, that's right, every one of the generals under his command was a qualified general, with the ability and courage to face any enemy independently, but these people gathered under his command, and the space for promotion had reached the limit, was he too selfish?

After a long time, Chang Xun sighed, and then smiled heartily: "Boy, you just reminded me, it's time to let go." ”

Yuan Fang was very embarrassed, he didn't expect his joke to make the old general like this, but at this point, Yuan Fang had no way to retract his previous words, so he had to change the topic: "You haven't said it yet, are you here to see me or to help?" ”

Chang Xun smiled and said: "Both, Guan Xiaoyun's kid went to find the state army yesterday, and I happened to be there, I heard that you were going to attack Changhuandao, so I followed." ”

Yuan Fang said helplessly: "You really can't be idle, how many people have you brought here?" ”

Chang Xun stretched out three fingers: "Three thousand heavy rides, fully equipped." ”

Yuan Fang nodded and reminded: "Three thousand people plus us should be about the same, but Old Man Chang, the land of Changhuan Island is so big, can the cavalry be deployed?" You're heavy armor, and if you fall into the sea, you can't save yourself, so you have to think about it. ”

Chang Xun didn't care and said, "Are you as rubbish as our Tiger Roar Legion and that heavy cavalry under the command of Prince Something?" Tell you, we are heavy cavalry on horseback, and we are also qualified heavy infantry when we get off the horse, even if we take off our heavy armor, we can fight against ordinary infantry with one enemy and ten. ”

Chang Xun was furious, and his face was red, Yuan Fang hurriedly smiled and said: "I absolutely believe this, the Tiger Roar Legion is definitely the most elite legion in the empire in my heart, and every soldier is the most brave warrior in the empire." ”

Chang Xun's face regained a smile: "Count your kid as having vision, let's say, when will you attack?" I can't wait, by the way, where's your air force? Hurry up and show me what you know, and see if it's as powerful as you say. ”

Yuan Fang spread his hands and said: "We have to wait a little longer, the spies who went to check on Changhuan Island have not come back yet, and the fog balloon and airship are still being debugged, and there will be results in the afternoon." ”

Next, Chang Xun asked Yuan Fang about his next plan, the so-called eating a trench and growing a wisdom, this time Yuan Fang will not make the same mistakes in the past, he is very cautious, very low-key, and very modest, he didn't say anything about the plan or not, just said the idea, the immature idea, and then asked Chang Xun's opinion, after all, Chang Xun is a veteran who has led the army for many years, just like he said that he has rich experience, and besides, although Situ Muran is the same, he is good at naval warfare, and he is still somewhat lacking in land warfare, so, Chang Xun's opinion is very important to Yuan Fang now.

At noon, Yuan Fang found Yuqing and Situ Muran, and after introducing Chang Xun, a few people drank a few cups in Yuan Fang's tent to catch Chang Xun, Situ Muran and Chang Xun are both veterans of the empire, and they have heard of each other but it is the first time they met, Situ Muran is a little wooden like his name, but he is refreshing and speaks directly, and he immediately won Chang Xun's favor, and the men in the army all like this kind of straightforward coolness, and Chang Xun is no exception, and he was the same at the beginning.

Wine is the good wine and vegetables brought by Chang Xun, it is the small stove opened by Sang Rou and them, there is meat and fresh vegetables, and more is Yuan Fang's favorite seafood.

After a few glasses of wine, Yuan Fang led the topic to the issue of Changhuan Island, and everyone had the same idea, since it was beneficial to the empire, and they had the ability to capture it, and the other party was a hated pirate, it should be eradicated and eliminated if it was reasonable or for the safety of the empire, and the territory should be included in the territory.

The four of them began to discuss the details of the attack on Long Roundabout, of course, without specific information, they could only discuss the general layout and battle plan.

Before the banquet was over, the spies sent to Long Circle Island came back and brought back a lot of useful information, such as the number of warships on Long Roundabout, the approximate population has been distributed, the defense force on the island, etc., because the spies did not dare to approach and could only observe from a distance, so this information was only approximate, but this was enough.

Sang Rou and the others withdrew from the banquet, Yuan Fang took the sea chart near Changhuan Island and marked it according to the intelligence of the spies, looked around at everyone and frowned and said: "The situation is a little wrong, you see, the southwest opening of Changhuan Island is the focus of their defense, and only here can ships dock, and the other directions are shallows, this is nothing, but you see, east and north, the intelligence says that there are only a small number of defensive forces on the periphery of these two directions, and the inside are all ordinary houses, and most of the residents are old, weak, women and children, what's going on?" ”

Chang Xun didn't know why: "What's going on?" I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Situ Muran also looked at Yuan Fang in confusion, only Yuqing was thoughtful.

Yuan Fang pointed to the east and north of Changhuan Island on the map, and said in a deep voice: "I doubt whether they are pirates or not, General Situ, have you ever dealt with pirates before?" ”

Situ Muran shook his head and said: "No, when I was just a sailor, I encountered pirates once, but the empire's navy is still quite strong, those pirates saw us from a distance and ran away, our captain was ordered to pursue, and followed the pirates to their lair." ”

Yuan Fang asked, "And then?" ”

Situ Muran still didn't understand what Yuan Fang meant, and then said, "Then? Of course, they started fighting, they only wore two ships, and we had more than a dozen, and of course they were no opponents, and they were easily sunk by us. ”

Yuan Fang was a little anxious and said, "Then what?" ”

Situ Muran was inexplicable: "And then?" Without. ”
