Chapter 13 South
The emperor stood on the wall of Xuanwumen, looking at the vast army gradually fading away, and couldn't help clenching his fist tightly.
If this battle goes well, the pattern of the world will change again.
This is exactly what he wants.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has gone far away. It's time for us to go back."
Chen Mo carefully reminded him.
"Hmm."
The emperor nodded, and Chen Mo shouted loudly, "Get up and go back to the palace."
And Liu Xia rode on the wind-chasing beast full of Jinluo, wearing golden dragon pattern armor, majestic, and headed for the wharf of Longdu City.
Only the well-equipped 30,000-man army of the Song family followed him. These armies had to go south on warships in batches, and it would take nine days to lead Wu'an City.
As the general, Liu Xia will naturally arrive in the first batch.
Seeing the warship from afar, Liu Xia was a little stunned in an instant.
I have been in the northwest before, and I have never seen the sailor of the Tianji Dynasty.
Standing on the dock at this moment, I was still a little excited to see the magnificent warship that was thirty or forty feet long and more than ten meters high.
"Your Highness, this is the Ningyuan Fleet of our Tianji Dynasty. In our navy, it is a medium-sized fleet.
Duan Lingxiao explained to Liu Xia on one side.
"Are such ships only medium-sized? What does that big return look like?
Liu Xia thought secretly in her heart that she could not show the appearance of a turtle who had never seen the world and said with a smile, "It's a little weather. That's good. Let's get on the boat.
Immediately, Liu Xia's own soldiers and Hu Wei began to board the ship.
It took half an hour for the fleet to be ready, and then it began to start and move south.
Liu Xia's warship is the main battleship of the fleet. The upper and lower six floors are very spacious. The whole second floor is where Liu Xia lives.
The furnishings inside are also very luxurious. If it weren't for a slight bump, it would be more comfortable than the royal palace.Dabao and the guards of the royal palace are taking over your second-level defense.
When Liu Xia arrived in the study, she saw a huge map of the Tianji Dynasty.
The surging Dragon Soul River is the north-south dividing line of the Tianji Dynasty.
The south is vast, and the climate is humid and warm. Over the years, it has gradually become a granary of the Tianji Dynasty.
Moreover, in the Tianji Dynasty, the top five families are also in the south.
If it hadn't been for the fight against the Tianxuan Dynasty, maybe the capital of the dynasty would have been located in the south.
After all, the economy of the south is more developed, full of talents, and the population is relatively denser than that of the north.
The sphere of influence of the Nangong family is mainly the three provinces of Kunzhou, Taizhou and Qianzhou along the coast. The hometown is located in Taizhou, facing the sea in the east, with flat terrain and fertile land. These conditions are all important factors for the rise of the Nangong family.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the Nangong family sailor is also quite large-scale.
At first, it was just to protect his family's property, but now it has become an important force in the fight against sea pirates.
The Nangong family now supports the second prince as the emperor and opposes the southern border garrison. Today's Nangong family is indeed ready to fight with the Tianji Dynasty.
Once they win, they will have a chance to win the dragon soul. Of course, all this is not so easy, but the Nangong family has no way out now.
After the Longdu blood case, the Nangong family sent people to Longdu seven times to seek peace, and several major clans pleaded one after another. After all, the Nangong family also paid a heavy price this time.
However, the emperor did not give them a chance to breathe.In this way, the Nangong family can only do it first.
"Is there really no problem for that girl Cai Wei on the road alone?"
At this moment, Dabao is lying lazily on the low side, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand, eating and muttering.
"It's okay. It's not a big problem for Ao Cangqiong to go with him."
Liu Xia said indifferently.
Cai Wei's injury has just been cured. Now is really a good time for him to resume his cultivation. On the road alone, it is beneficial to her practice.
And Ao Cangqiong insisted on looking for the traces of the demon clan and the remaining nine swords, so Ao Cangqiong took Cai Wei on the road.
At this time, Lingling quietly pushed the door open, looked into the room, stuck out his tongue, and slipped in.
"It's so lively outside."
Ling Ling laughed excitedly.
"Look at you who has never seen the world."
Dabao laughed disdainfully.
"Fat cat, go away."
Lingling made a grimace at Dabao, ran to Liu Xia's side, and sat in Liu Xia's arms.
"I'm a bear, not a cat."
Dabao said angrily.
"Cut, whose bear looks like you? Look at your two dark circles."
Lingling said with a smile.
Dabao was speechless for a while.
"Auntie, don't go out for a walk when you have nothing to do. In case you are recognized, I'm guilty of bullying you."
Liu Xia smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry, no one can see through me. Before Cai Wei's sister left, she told me in detail about Yi Rong and other tips. If I don't want to be recognized by them, no one can recognize me.
Ling Ling said with a mischievous smile.
At this time, Zhang Zong shouted outside the door, "Your Highness, the front-line information has arrived."
Liu Xia hurriedly asked Lingling to get up and shouted loudly, "Come in and talk about it."
At this time, Zhang Zong, Liu Liansheng, Dai Binglong and Duan Lingxiao entered the room.
"Your Highness, front-line war report. Taking advantage of the chaos of the border troops in southern Xinjiang, the Nangong family seized Jing'an, Quzhou, Huizhou, Tongtianling, Tongzhou and other places. Take complete control of the whole province of Taizhou within their defenses. The army in southern Xinjiang is now undefeated, and now the remaining troops are hoarded on the periphery of Huizhou, ready to completely give up Taizhou and protect the Kunzhou position.
After Zhang Zong said without hurry, Liu Xia walked to the edge of the map and took a look.
The three provinces of Taizhou, Kunzhou and Qianzhou are adjacent, among which Taizhou is the largest, the southernmost part of the Tianji Dynasty, and Kunzhou and Qianzhou have become a three-legged trend.
Taizhou is the territory of the Nangong family. Now that he is plotting a rebellion, he naturally has to consolidate the territory of Taizhou, and then take Kunzhou and become his way to fight back against the Central Plains.
The army guarding the border in the south and defending Kunzhou can block their route to the north.
In the past few days, the Huangpu family, the Zhang family, the Liu family and other large armies of the southern clans have been supporting Kunzhou. The Nangong family knows that the strong enemy is looking around and absolutely does not dare to attack Kunzhou rashly.
Liu Xia guessed that the first thing for the Nangong family was to completely take advantage of the chaos of the navy in southern Xinjiang, first control the route and cut off the sea channel of the Tianji Dynasty army. Secondly, it was to harass along the Qianzhou, make a feign attack on Qianzhou, find ways to distract them, and then raid Kunzhou.
So that they have a chance.
"Go on the order and order all the troops who arrive at the position to shut up and do not fight. No matter what happens to Qianzhou, they are not allowed to leave Kunzhou. Let's talk about everything when I arrive.
Liu Xia hesitated for a moment and said.
"Yes, the last general will go now."
After saying that, Zhang Zong turned around and left.
"Your Highness, do you have a way to deal with the Nangong family?"
Duan Lingxiao asked curiously.
Liu Xia smiled slightly and said, "I don't know about the situation in southern Xinjiang at present. It's just that we have to go somewhere before we go to the front line.
"Where is it?"
Everyone asked curiously.
"The Nangong family sailor is invincible in the world and is an important force of the court sailor. Now that the Nangong family has rebelled, the court sailors dare not go to sea. Now the top priority is to find a general who is good at water warfare. Among the family, although there are many generals who are good at water warfare, I'm afraid that I won't really be the enemy of the Nangong family. I'm afraid something will happen when we meet at sea.
Liu Xia said with a faint smile.
"So you have the right person in mind?"
Dabao asked.
"Have you ever heard of Liao Qichang?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
Everyone shook their heads blankly. Obviously, this person was not very famous.
However, Duan Lingxiao on one side was suddenly shocked and said, "You mean that Liao Qichang is the pirate leader of the Nansha Gang before?"
"Yes, I'm talking about him. Have you heard of it?
Liu Xia asked with a smile.
"Of course, I have heard that this person has been waving the South China Sea for more than 30 years. If it hadn't been for the battle of Princess Chang'an and surrendering him, I'm afraid he would still dominate the South China Sea. It is this person who has disappeared for a long time. How do you find this vast sea of people?
Duan Lingxiao asked.
"Of course I have my own way. Before your majesty see me off, tell me two people. The first one is this person. I just checked this man's file, which has the name of the sea hegemon, the sea tiger king. I believe it won't be a false reputation."
Liu Xia muttered.
"Who is the second person your Majesty recommended to you?"
Lingling asked curiously.
"The naval battle depends on the sea tiger king, and to deal with the Nangong family Nangong Shili, he naturally needs his old opponent, who is also their old neighbor, Huangpu talent."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"Your Majesty deserves to be forward-looking. The Huangpu family and the Nangong family have been adjacent for many years, and they have been very familiar with each other before. If there are two of them, as the main general, it is much more reassuring.
Duan Lingxiao said with a smile.
"At present, I am only worried about the position of the Huangpu family. After all, the Huangpu family was very slow to respond to the Nangong family's rebellion. If the Huangpu family has two hearts, I'm afraid it's not good.
Duan Lingxiao analyzed.
"I'm just so worried. Well, what's going on now, let's go one step at a time. Let's go to Jiangling to find the Sea Tiger King first. After that, I went to the imperial navy camp. The Nangong family has fought one after another, and it takes time to cultivate. We take advantage of this time to seize the sovereignty of the sea and drag the rhythm into our rhythm. That's it. Otherwise, once you are led by the Nangong family, I'm afraid you will be very passive.
Liu Xia said worriedly.
"Everything is at the order of Your Highness."
Everyone said with their fists.
After that, the vast fleet went all the way south along the canal, walked for about four days, and arrived at Jiangling.
Located along the coast of Jiangzhou, Jiangling is an important port to go to sea.
Although it is not the provincial capital of Jiangzhou, it is one of the most prosperous and richest cities in Jiangzhou.
This is an important transit station for goods from the north to the south. Most of the merchant ships will unload the goods here and return to the north.
The goods are loaded from here, and the coastal line is sent south to other ports in the south.
And the goods from the south will also transit here and be transported to the north.
When Liu Xia's fleet arrived at the general and went out of the cabin, he saw Jiangling's wharf, which was a huge one.
Thousands of large and small ships are moored here, which is extremely spectacular.
On the dock, there are a lot of people, a lot of traffic, and a prosperous scene.
At this moment, Jiangzhou officials have lined up on the dock to greet them. The drums are loud and lively.
Liu Xia just got off the ship, Zhang Changyuan, the political envoy of Jiangzhou, and Liu Bilong, the envoy, hurriedly greeted him.
