Li Yexu couldn't help but secretly sighed. XsHuoTXt

The old fox Li Ji sent him, on the one hand, he wanted to urge the sailor to hurry up and attack, this target Li Yexu asked himself if he was not familiar with Liu Renliang, the governor of the sailor, and left it directly behind, and the other purpose was to inquire why the sailor stopped here for more than a month without moving his buttocks.

Although Lao Li Ji gritted his teeth and guessed that Liu Renliang deliberately wanted to see his own jokes, but that was also angry words, Liu Renliang was not a three-year-old child in military affairs, and more importantly, there was no political conflict between the two, if it was about his status in Fengtai Luan Pavilion, he Liu Renliang was the first to follow the King of Min, and he was still above Li Ji, so Liu Renliang would not deliberately embarrass her.

The prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were not as stingy as they were in the Ming Dynasty, they leaned against each other, and they didn't even care about state affairs for the sake of fighting with each other, on the contrary, in the face of major events, the prime ministers still cooperated very closely.

But after all, he is the prime minister, he loves face, no one takes the initiative to speak, and the old Li Ji, who can't bear the energy, has no tricks, so he wants to communicate through Li Yexu's roundabout tactics.

But Li Yexu is also embarrassed to open this mouth, he is a junior, yes, but he is also the general of the second rank of the right military guard of the Great Min, the last dynasty can wear a purple official uniform, and the existence of a goldfish bag, he is always embarrassed to speak, ah! Our army is going to be beaten down, the Arabs are going to rebel, when will your sailors come to the rescue? He couldn't afford to lose face.

So at the banquet just now, with the strength of the wine, he blurted out the sarcastic words of Li Yexu with the agitation method, anyway, no one can take the wine seriously, and after a drunken gaffe, everyone is still good friends.

It doesn't seem to be a special secret, and Lu Ning almost opened his mouth to say it in a moment of anger, but who knew that at this moment, Lu Ning's personal soldiers outside the door suddenly broke in, and said that he was in a hurry and asked the general to participate in the military plane quickly.

As a result, Li Yexu was left alone and stared at the table full of wine and food.

This time, Li Yexu's sick leave is three days, and today is only a day, and it seems that there is still a chance, but Li Yexu is anxious and looking forward to it, and he is looking for Lu Ning to participate in the military in the middle of the night, and it must be that the sailor is going to make a big move again, in case it is a decisive battle with the Arab Navy on the opposite side of Rhode Island, then his task will be completed.

But if it wasn't, and Lu Ning was busy because of the military, he was just one acquaintance in the water division, who else to inquire?

Old Li Ji pulled down his old face and praised him to the sky, he didn't do it when he went back, when he was in Chang'an, Li Yexu knew how powerful this old yin ghost's methods were, and it was definitely enough for him to drink a pot when he went back.

"What can I do?"

Li Yexu lay on the table, drinking the stuffy wine without taking a sip, but after a while, Lu Ning, who was in a hurry to go to the meeting, hurried back with a dead face.

"I'm sorry, Brother Li, the governor has a call, if you are neglected, bear with me!"

"Brother understands, Brother Lu, you can do it yourself, brother, I will go around this port for two days, and then go back, no hindrance."

Although he guessed, Li Yexu still made a gesture of invitation with a polite appearance, but after saying hello, Lu Ning did not leave, but was embarrassed, and then spoke again.

"Brother Li, there is one more thing, the Governor wants to personally go to Rhodes Island to investigate tonight, and the Governor still wants to ...... and invite you to go with him!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yexu's already small amount of alcohol woke up again.

He Li Yexu is not a cat or a dog, the general who is called and drunk, there are seven or eight generals in the sixteen guards, and the rest are generals, this identity is enough to command a battle of 100,000 people, even if Liu Renliang looks for him, he has to use an invitation and not an order, unless there is Li Jie's holy decree.

However, this kind of meeting of high-level figures, even if Li Yexu is on sick leave, is still formal enough, and Liu Renliang invited himself to go to the armed reconnaissance together, which is enough for Li Yexu to weigh and weigh.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Yexu suddenly beckoned the soldiers outside the door to come in, and ordered seemingly casually: "Liu Dadu invited the general to take a look at the bright moon on the sea, and you should camp at the military station outside the port, and you must not cause trouble!" ”

After giving the order, Li Yexu nodded to Lu Ning kindly: "I'm still bothering Brother Lu to lead the way." ”

Li Yexu was able to agree, and it seemed that Lu Ning was very relieved, and even the wrinkles on his face were stretched a lot.

…………

With a few pro-soldiers to follow Lu Ning to the dock, before leaving, Li Yexu told the captain of the pro-soldier again, he followed General Lu Ning, should be the governor of Liu Renliang's appointment, go to the front line of armed reconnaissance, although I don't believe that Liu Renliang can harm himself, but this big night, the heart of defense is indispensable, Li Yexu still beware of a hand, fortunately his pro-soldier captain is also clever, and he agreed to it.

I don't know if Liu Renliang made any major discoveries tonight, so urgent, when Lu Ning led Li Yexu to a corner of the port, Liu Renliang had already set off, fortunately, there were enough boats left.

In the middle of the night, it was naturally impossible to drive a warship openly, so the Fujian military used a unique Chinese ship-shaped, a car and a ship.

The long military sampan is no different from the usual, the boat is about seven meters long, and can seat sixteen people, but there are no oars on the boat, but ten waterwheels similar to watering paddy fields on the opposite side, but the large wheels are much smaller and opposite to each other at the bottom of the boat, and there are wooden cranks similar to bicycle pedals under the saddle.

This thing was produced in the Liu and Song dynasties of the Southern Dynasty, in order to cope with the dense river network of the Jiangnan region, and was first invented by the skilled craftsmen in the army, but the scale was not large, until Li Jie Wang Yu Ba Fujian, which expanded the scale of the vehicle and ship, this kind of ship formed as one of the important ship shapes of the sailors reconnaissance, landing, and mutual connection.

There is even a study between the Damin Shipbuilding Guild and the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to talk about this kind of ship being added under a huge warship to cope with the sailing when there is no wind.

Naturally, it is impossible to scout and there are many people, three vehicles and boats, more than 50 elite sailors are all the team, watching Lu Ning shouting at the bow of the boat, ten military men stepped on the pedals under their feet, and the heavy flat-bottomed boat under them rushed out like an arrow from the string, rowing a white wave on the sea, compared to plopping on the boat, there is a lot less noise of paddling, and Li Yexu, a northerner, was amazed.

really responded to Li Yexu's joke before he set off, the moon and stars were scarce, and the bright moon was reflected on the sea like a large disc, which looked quite refreshing, but this was not a good thing for the investigation, and the ship had an unobstructed view on the sea.

Rhodes is about 17 kilometers away from the mainland of Asia Minor, which is the fourth largest island in Greece, one of the birthplaces of Greek civilization, and the junction of the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean.

The Romans occupied this place, not only blocking the attack of the Fujian army's naval divisions, but also using the navy to communicate with the castles near Asia Minor, and using ships to transport supplies, a typical point-based strategy.

The sea route was far away, from departure to arrival near Rhode Island, it took an hour, and it was already the second half of the night, where Li Yexu, who had speculated all the way, finally met one of the most mysterious governors, prime ministers, and generals in the Fujian army

Liu Renliang has followed Li Jie for a long time, and it can be seen from the fact that one of his external feudal officials still has the title of the prime minister of Luantai, it can be seen that Li Jie's trust in him is not long, but this person is a little strange to the vast majority of the upper echelons of Damin.

When Li Jie was in Wuyuan, Liu Renliang was sent to be seconded to the King of Qi to form the first water force in Damin, and then, the Damin Sailor was almost pulled by him and the King of Min, and very few other ministers participated, so whether it was the sailor or Liu Renliang, there were exceptionally few interactions with other ministers, almost self-contained, and sometimes Liu Renliang was leading the troops outside and could not go to the court.

In Li Yexu's rather curious look, this rather mysterious governor was also leading three boats across the sea at this time, and his rather chic and flowing beard fluttered like a fairy in the sea breeze, and he was holding a telescope to look at the dark Roman military port opposite.

"Metropolitan Governor, General Li has arrived!"

Facing Liu Renliang, Lu Ning, a cold-faced general, rarely showed unprecedented respect, solemnly clenched his fists and bowed, but Liu Renliang, who was distracted, didn't seem to hear it, and still stood on the boat and kept looking at the island.

Li Yexu was not angry, he was also very curious about this Roman military stronghold that was stuck with the Great Min Water Division and could not advance, and he couldn't help but look at the past.

But tonight is to go to the banquet, Li Yexu didn't bring a telescope, it was already the second half of the night at this time, ancient fuel was extremely scarce, and the Rhode Island military port on the opposite side was black, and he couldn't see the ugliness clearly.

However, faintly, Li Yexu saw the black shadow of a behemoth, towering on the sea level outside the military port, and he couldn't see what it was, but the behemoth's almost blocked the road into the port, and the ships passing through it seemed to be able to pass only under his crotch.

Faintly, Li Yexu was in awe of this unknown troll.

Just when Li Yexu was also distracted, a sudden sound of rattling came from the opposite water surface and startled him, and he saw that the people around him looked like usual, and only then did he know that it was his own water ghost, as if he was coming back, which made Li Yexu breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Renliang seemed to have finished looking, suddenly turned around and handed over the binoculars, and said softly to Li Yexu: "General Li, you can also take a look!" ”

Liu Renlu is the governor of the second grade, although the prime minister is famous, but he is a first-class virtual string, not much different from Li Yexu's official position, Li Yexu did not have too much politeness, nodded and agreed and took the binoculars, but at a glance, Li Yexu's eyes suddenly widened.

"Damn, what kind of monster is this?"
