Chapter 3 Show the enemy's weakness

Jiang Gan was not idle. While Lu Mo was taking people to fight for the Sinhalese, he set off again and went north along the coast, lobbying the big and small Tianzhu countries. Every time he went to a place, he had to explain the battle of Ceylon Island first. In his mouth, of course, it was the Zhuluo Three Kingdoms who bullied the weak and joined hands to bully them. The Kingdom of Sinhala was insatiable. It turned a blind eye to the kindness of the State of Yue and extorted wantonly. The Sinhala and the State of Yue were angry, so they joined hands to fight back against their oppression.

In the face of the quite powerful conditions given by Jiang Gan, those small countries have more or less believed Jiang Gan's words. They are usually bullied by Zhu Luo and the Three Kingdoms - things like talking about cooperation with the State of Yue have not fallen on the heads of small countries like them before - of course, they have no good impression of Zhu Luo's Three Kingdoms, so they will The letter listened suspiciously to Jiang Gan's deception.

Jiang Gan's requirements for them are actually not high: providing food and accommodation for Vietnamese merchants in the past to ensure their safety. In addition, there are almost no requirements. Don't pay tribute or surrender. Whether you have only one city or ten cities, you will be treated equally. If you really don't have the strength to guarantee these, it's not forced. The tax is collected a little less, and we are responsible for the safety. In a word, you can do it according to your ability, and you can get as much strength as you want.

Small countries have never enjoyed such respect. Although the war between the State of Yue and Zhu Luo has not been divided, they have fallen to the side of the State of Yue. Wherever Jiang Gan went, they have been welcomed to varying degrees. I don't know when the rumor that Yue people like beautiful women spread out. Turning around, Jiang Gan didn't receive many other gifts, and more than a dozen beautiful women of all colors received.

After a short interruption, the busy trade road began to be lively again. Pandia and Zheluo came because most of the sailors rushed to the Amanda Sea to fight against the Vietnamese navy, and the victory was not divided. Second, they were made anxious by the pirate Rangers. For a while, they could not draw the strength of the sailors to rob the Vietnamese merchant corps, but I can listen to it. The merchants of Yue were no longer moored in their territory, but instead docked in the ports of small northern countries. They flattened their pockets and fattened their opponents' purses. Akadi and Divia were annoyed when they thought about it. However, in any case, they could not accept the conditions proposed by Jiang Gan. They could only hope that King Zhu Luo would lead the joint sailors to defeat Yue. National sailor, at that time, all the problems will be solved.

In December of the fifth year of the Republic of China, Sun Shao, who had been waiting by the sea for more than two months, finally waited for the Lianquan Marine Division of the Three Kingdoms of Zhuluo. For more than two months, he had been stationed at the seaside and only sent Zhou Yin ashore with the destroyer camp to help the Yaners besiege the room. The people of the Chen Dynasty served as the main attack, and Zhou Yin helped them plunder the array to prevent them from being counterattacked by the people. When the Hao people stuck to the city, they sat next to them and looked at it. Once they went out of the city to counterattack, and thejie���ren could not support it, Zhou Yin ordered the five captains of the destruction camp to take turns to attack the head-on head-on and beat the momentum of the Qian people down. After suffering a few times, they learned to be obedient. They stayed in the city and did not come out. Everything will wait until the end of the battle on the sea. If the more people lose, there is naturally nothing to say. If the more people win, they will also consider surrendering to the more people. At this time, it is not a good idea to take the initiative to fight with the more people.

The war dragged down like this. Although the king of Chan Yong Youkai was very anxious, he did not dare to urge Sun Shao. He was afraid that the destruction camp would really break through the city, and the room spread of Tan Luo would not have it for him. Don't drive away the wolf of the man, and the tiger of Yue came again.

At this moment, Sun Shao sent someone to send a message that Zhu Luo's sailor had appeared a hundred miles away. They were going along the coast and might have to pass through the border of the Shang country first. He asked Yong Youkai, should you go back to defend yourself, or should my sailor come forward to fight?

Yong Youkai thought about it for a long time and decided to go back by himself. Anyway, he couldn't take it for a while. He returned to the capital with the army and was careful. He was afraid that the Zhuluo people would rise on a whim and go ashore first to plunder the country.

Fortunately, Zhu Luo was only to fight against the State of Yue at this time and did not dare to be distracted. They sailed south from the coast of the State of the State of the State of China and sailed to the residence of the State of the State of Yue. In mid-December, the two armies met. Although King Ferros of Zhuluo was very confident in himself, he had been fighting for many years and was not a numb ghost. In order to know it well, he sent someone to inquire about the news of the room spread of Tanro and the Yue sailors.

Ferroz was relieved and puzzled by the news. The Yue people and the Shens joined hands to attack the room spread of Tanluo for two months, but failed to break the city. The Yue sailors, which were originally on the sea outside the city, are now retreating to the south. They are about to reach the mouth of the Lijiang River, and they will retreat to the border of Vietnam. What reassures Ferroz more is that there are large ships in Yue, but only one ship of the king of Yue is a big ship. The other ships are warships about the same size as theirs, and those big ships are merchant ships and heavy ships, and now they have retreated to safety.

The generals of the United Marine Division were very happy. It seems that this gamble was right. The Vietnamese were not as powerful as they thought. They retreated in front of the superior forces of the United Marine Division. Feroz damaged the man, saying that their messenger was a fool. He couldn't even distinguish between a heavy ship and a warship. The man was also inexplicable. He asked the messenger whose ears had been cut, and the messenger was also confused. He was not sure whether he was scared and fainted at that time.

The uncertainty of the messenger affirmed Ferroz's conjecture. Everyone was very excited and asked to immediately set out to chase the Yue Marine Division, all the way to the border of Vietnam, and then sign an alliance with them to regain control of the South China Sea. The strength of the joint sailors is very strong. After going back, they will definitely be disbanded. Can they unite again in the future? No one can say for success, so everyone agrees to solve the problem at one time while the iron is hot.

While everyone was very excited, Ferroz did not lose his mind. He sent a close-in-law, Sanjay, to meet Sun Shao, the king of Yue, to explore the truth, and then make a decision.

When Sanjay saw Sun Shao, Sun Shao was half leaning in the cabin to watch the song and dance. Twenty young and beautiful Aryan beauties were dancing in the cabin in thin silk clothes. The music was very familiar. It was Tianzhu's music, but it was the music used in Buddhist etiquette. Looking at the originally solemn Buddhist sound. Le was used for such a luxurious occasion, and Sanjay was a little annoyed.

However, when he saw the young woman held by Sun Shao again, Sanjay was simply angry. He had a relationship with this young bhikshuni. This was the attendant disciple of a famous master in Tianzhu. Unexpectedly, he was now wearing a looming gauze, with exquisite curves and slim body. Sun Shao's Her hands were still rubbing her fragrant shoulders, but her face was flushed. If it hadn't been for her blue scalp, Sanjay wouldn't have believed her eyes.

Seeing Sanjay, the young bhikshuni couldn't help lowering his head and dodging to leave, but he was pulled by Sun Shao and couldn't get out. Sun Shao pinched her chest with his hand, looked at Sanjay with a smile, and asked in a very frivolous tone, "Are you the messenger of Zhu Luo?"

Sangjai remembered his task, put away his angry face, and saluteed his chest: "Juro's messenger Sanjay, meet the king."

Sun Shao sat up, but hugged the bhikshuni tighter. The bhikshuni's neck was even red, and her white skin was full of young crimson. Her breasts under the silk clothes kept undulating because of tension, lining her bald head, which looked more and more attractive.

"Since you have come all the means, why don't you come to war? What messengers do you want to send?" Sun Shao opened his mouth and yawned, which seemed to be a little mentally deficient.

Sanjay looked around and saw that the generals in place were a little depressed. He couldn't help sneer. Can such an army still fight? What a joke. He looked more respectful and lowered his head: "My king believes in Buddha and does not want to kill more people. If the king is willing, my king is willing to negotiate with your country to resolve this dispute peacefully."

"Oh?" Sun Shao let go of the bhikkhuni, leaned forward, and asked, "You're not slandering me, are you?"

Sangjai clearly saw a trace of joy in Sun Shao's eyes, and his heart sneered even more, but he looked more respectful: "I dare not. I would like to swear to the former disciple of Master Ananda that my king really wants to make peace with the king."

"Master Ananda's disciple?" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment and turned his head suspiciously at the flushed bhikshuni: "What do you think she is a disciple of Master Anan?"

"Doesn't the king know?" Sanjay said in surprise. He

Sun Shao touched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "I don't know. It turns out that she is so famous that she can only tell the scriptures, and she can make so many difficult movements, which makes people unable to stop."

Translation Qin Sai hesitated for a moment, and his face was a little red. What Sun Shao said was very obvious ambiguous, and she knew that this was not in line with the truth at all. Even now that Bhikshuni was held in his arms had just been decided. She glanced at Sun Shao, but Sun Shao didn't look at her. He put his head to Bhikshuni's neck and sniffed it. He smiled strangely and said, "Why didn't you say earlier that your teacher is still so famous? I don't know how many sisters you have? Is it as versatile as you?

With this effort, Sun Shao squeezed his eyes at Qin Sai. Qin Sai suddenly realized and quickly translated his words, in which he inevitably added some vague words. Sanjay saw Sun Shao's frivolous bhikshuni with his own eyes. Of course, he did not distinguish between Qin Sai's translation. As a matter of course, he felt that Sun Shao had possessed the bhikshuni, and he couldn't help but be furious. He suppressed his anger and nodded.

"Negotiation, how to talk about it?" Sun Shao let go of the bhikkhuni and tried his best to make a solemn look, but in Sanjay's eyes, his solemnity was really not worth mentioning. Sanjay restrained his mind and said slowly while carefully looking at Sun Shao's face and eyes. Of course, Feroz, the king of Zhuluo, would not really want to negotiate. His request was more than that of Akadi, the king of Pandia. He wanted Sun Shao to give up the South China Sea and let the Tianzhu merchants freely go to the South China Sea for trade. He simply wanted to anger Sun Shao. If Sun Shao can agree to this condition, then there will be more excess. Anyway, in a word, negotiation is not an end, but a means. What he wants is to test Sun Shao's confidence.

Before Sanjay finished speaking, Sun Shao became angry. He waved his hand and roared. Two tigers rushed up and pressed Sanjay. No matter how he struggled, he directly hung him on the mast outside. In Sun Shao's words, it was to show you how powerful my warship was. Wind, and then talk well.

Sangjai is not the man's messenger. During the period of being hung upside down on the mast, although he pretended to be frightened and cried loudly, his heart was happy. On the top of the high mast, he saw the whole Yue sailors at a glance, and even counted the number of warships. In total, it was a large ship and a medium-sized war. There are thirty-one ships and more than twenty smaller warships, which should be scouting ships for reconnaissance missions.

Sanjay was hanged for half an hour, and his voice was hoarse before he was put down. Sun Shao was very angry with him and said that the conditions you put up were fucking fart. There was no sincerity. You go back and say to Ferroz that if you want to talk, just say something reliable. If it's still like this, don't talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it again.

Although Sun Shao spoke hard, Sanjay heard weakness from his tone. He pretended to be frightened, nodded repeatedly, and rushed away with his head in his arms. As soon as he left the battalion of the Yue sailor, he ordered the sailor to rock the ship with all his strength. He wanted to spread the situation of the Yue sailors to Ferroz as soon as possible.

As soon as Sanjay left, Cui Qian and others stood up, wiped their faces hard with the towel on the case, wiped off the color on their faces, and stood in front of Sun Shao in a murderous way. Twenty Aryan beauties have retreated, and the red-faced bhikkhuni has also retreated. The banquet has been withdrawn, and a huge map has been put out.

Sun Shao sat on the main seat with a murderous face, holding his knees in one hand and rubbing the knife ring in his hand with the other. His cold eyes swept over everyone's faces and said in a low voice, "The sailors of Zhu Luo, Pandia and Zheluo are all here. If we can hit them hard, then we can't take Tianzhu in a short time. At least we can control this sea. If we control this sea, we will control this business road. Wealth will roll in. If we have money in our hands, we can choose to find partners and further divide the Tianzhu people. In a word, this battle is not a question of invincibility, but a question of how to maximize the results of the battle. Don't be constrained. Let's express what we have seen. If there is a feasible good idea, I have a reward.

"Your Majesty, what do you want?" Zhuge Zhi, who was a rare joke, couldn't help asking today.

Sun Shao looked at him unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that the first one to speak was him, and it was in this tone. He thought for a while and pointed to the hatch where the Aryan beauty and Bhikkhuni exited: "Those women, you can choose any one, including the bald one."

The generals were stunned for a moment and burst into laughter.

"That minister doesn't dare." Zhuge Zhi was a little embarrassed and shook his head and said, "If my method is useful, I would like to ask the king to give me the vanguard mission of the aerospace Zhu."

"Hey, Ji Gong, you're wrong. You haven't fought this battle yet. Do you want to fight for the next battle?" Cui Qian shouted.

Zhuge looked straight at him and suppressed his smile and said, "I can't help it. There are people like the general who like to eat alone. If I don't do it in advance, I'm afraid I'll have to follow the general all my life."

Cui Qian was about to refute, but the other generals shouted and supported Zhuge Zhi. Cui Qian's reputation for eating alone was really bad, and many people had problems with him. As soon as Cui Qian saw that he was angry, he didn't dare to say more, so he had to shrink aside.

Sun Shao smiled and pointed to Zhuge Zhi and said, "You said, if it really works, I will answer you."

"Oh." Zhuge straightened up, put his hands on his chest, and shouted, "Thank you for your gift."

"Don't worry, it depends on whether your method works or not." Sun Shao couldn't help laughing. Even Zhuge Zhi, who had always been honest, fought for merit. It can be seen how belligerent these people are, and the military meritorious knight's cooperation with the concubine system is still very attractive to them.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I dare to guarantee that I can completely annihi out Tianzhu United Marines in the First World War." Zhuge said directly to Chengzhu. He quickly walked to the map, took the bamboo whip from Yang Xiu's hand, pointed to the coastline on the map and said, "Although there are many people in Tianzhu sailors, for us, these people are not even enough to share the battle, so we have to grab it."

The generals couldn't help laughing again. They really didn't pay attention to the nearly 20,000 Tianzhu sailors. Judging from the information collected before, the strength of the Tianzhu sailors was not even as good as that of the Funan sailors. Their boats were small and did not use nails. They were all tied with brown silk. Such ships could not withstand the wind and waves, let alone withstand collisions, such as The two armies fought against each other, and the Yue navy was fully sure to win. However, Sun Shao's goal this time is not as simple as winning. What he wants is to defeat the vitality of Tianzhu Marine Division in one fell swoop. Tianzhu has a wide area. With the current strength of Yue, it is equivalent to a fool's dream to go deep into the inland of Tianzhu to attack the city and pull out the fortress in a short time. However, Tianzhu is facing the sea. As long as he kills his sailors, the sea is under the control of Yue. Then as long as he finds some islands like Ceylon, the Yue sailors can master the ditch. With the business road of the East and the West, you can get a rolling source of money. The vast majority of Tianzhu's sailors were the joint sailors in front of them, which completely annihirate them, which severely damaged the Tianzhu sailors.

But now it's winter, and the wind blows from the northeast to the southwest. Once the war starts, the Tianzhu sailors will occupy the upper wind direction. If they lose the first battle, they are likely to have warships that will take advantage of the wind to go away and sail directly into the sea, venture across the Bay of Bengal, and return to Tianzhu. Judging from the current weather, they may survive. In that case, although the victory was won, the purpose of heavy or total annimmation would be failed.

"If you want to completely annihirate the Tianzhu Mariners, you have to let them run away after the first confrontation." Zhuge said loudly, "If there is a war here, they will have the upper hand. In order to speed up, they will definitely blow up the sails, so that once they find that the situation is not right, they will take the opportunity to escape. And we have fallen off the sail. When the sail is raised, we will chase it. It will be more or less a waste of time. The Tianzhu people have nearly 300 warships, and there are about 500 heavy ships. In the first confrontation, we expect to sink 100 of their warships, which is already the most ideal estimate. One hundred warships are 30% of the Tianzhu people's warships. If you enter the cross-sea pursuit, you can kill up to 100 more warships. It is estimated that Few 20% of Tianzhu warships can return to Tianzhu. We may be able to intercept their supplies, but if we want to completely annihirate their warships, we must go through a long-distance sea pursuit. In case they fall into exiles, it will become a great hidden danger.

The generals nodded one after another to agree with Zhuge Zhi's analysis. They roughly estimated that it was difficult to completely annihire Tianzhu Shuishi, but few of them analyzed as carefully as Zhuge Zhi. After listening to Zhuge Zhi's words, their faces became heavier one by one, and it seemed that they were going to be defeated. It's like fighting. Yang Xiu and Xia Hourong looked at each other and exchanged glances with each other silently.

"The focus of the total annihision of Tianzhu sailors is to reduce the speed of their escape, and the second is that it is best to trap them. To reduce the speed is to let them down the sail. Whether they take the initiative to descend or we fall, in short, let them not run and trap them. The best place is here. The bamboo whip in Zhuge Zhi's hand pointed all the way up and rowed straight to the mouth of Lijiang. He said, "Take them here for a decisive battle. The upper reaches are blocked by several battleships, and the periphery is blocked by several buildings, and they are difficult to fly."

"What about them abandoning the boat and landing?" A general asked.

"We are on a boat, not a person." Zhuge straightened the corners of his mouth and tapped the bamboo whip gently in his hand: "Even if they go ashore, they can't escape far. Can they still walk thousands of miles back to Tianzhu? There is still a deterrent in the north. What we have to consider is that we can't let them enter our Taizhou to the east.

Sun Shao nodded repeatedly. Zhuge Zhi's plan was good, which directly extended his weak tactics. He pretended to be a coward to the end, and simply led Tianzhu sailors to the mouth of Lijiang for encirclement and annihilation. As long as the Tianzhu sailors entered this narrow sea, whether they wanted to escape from the waterway or from the land, the sailors were basically destroyed.

"If you have any comments, please speak frankly." Sun Shao raised his head and looked at the generals and said. Hearing this, the generals knew that Sun Shao had agreed to Zhuge Zhi's plan, so they began to discuss and refine around this plan. Soon, Sun Shao decided on the executioners of each task, and at the same time ordered the building ship and heavy ship hiding behind him to continue to retreat to the south, and first rushed to the mouth of Lijiang to ambush.

After arranging all this, Sun Shao stood up and said to Cui Qian with a smile, "Jianzhong, it seems that you are not very popular."

Cui Qian shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "I am willing to be a only minister. I just want to follow the king all over the world, and I don't want to mix with stinky fish and rotten shrimp."

"Poo!" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing. The generals listened and laughed and scolded. Cui Qian was serious, and there was no smile on his face. Sun Shao smiled twice and said, "Well, I'll mediate for you. What about you? Make some sacrifices this time to make some efforts for you to surround Tianzhu Shuishi, and everyone can read you in the future. Do you think so?"

The generals looked at each other in front of each other. They didn't know what Sun Shao could do, but Cui Qian was very happy. He patted his chest and said, "Since the king said so, I will be wronged. However, we good men promise a lot of money. After this time, no one can say that I eat alone."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't." Sun Shao said confidently, "The task of this fraudulent defeat is up to you."

"What? Fraudulent defeat?" Cui Qian, who was full of smiles, jumped up and his eyes were round.
