Chapter 825 Surprise attack on Lingnan Road
Just when he was about to order the fleet to move forward, he suddenly felt blessed and asked the deputy general next to him:
"Where have we been fighting? It's been so long since we've been out, Master, shouldn't he be anxious?"
After hearing Zhang Shun's question, the deputy general said with pride:
"Sir, we have arrived at Wuchuan, and our next stop is the legendary Leizhou City."
"As long as we capture Leizhou City, the Lord will definitely look at you differently after we return."
Hearing that he had fought all the way to Leizhou City, Zhang Shun was so scared that he was not scared to death.
Just kidding, everyone in the world doesn’t know the name of Leizhou City?
Even a man like Chu Mo who dared to be a troublemaker in front of the two emperors Li Shimin and Chu Xin would only end up with hatred when facing Yang Hongyu, the current lord of Leizhou City.
What did you think about it?Dare to come to the other party's territory and wander around?Is this an old man who eats arsenic because he thinks he will live longer?
Without any hesitation, Zhang Shun directly ordered the fleet to return as quickly as possible.
Not only that, he also left a group of soldiers who had previously been plundered and captured by Datang at the Wuchuan Port, preparing to put the blame on Datang.
When Yang Hongyu learned that Wu Chuan had been attacked, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
After that, news came one after another that various seaports on Lingnan Road were attacked by a group of pirates of unknown origin.
The most unbearable thing for her was that the Lingnan Navy led by Zhai Changsun was attacked while resting in Chaozhou Port and the entire army was wiped out. Zhai Changsun himself was also missing and his life and death were unknown.
Seeing that the table was covered with battle reports and letters asking for help from everywhere, Yang Hongyu became furious instantly.
When she saw Wuchuan's defenders catching a group of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who claimed to be abandoned by pirates at Wuchuan port, she immediately thought that this was done deliberately by the other party.
The purpose was to clear Datang's suspicion and focus his attention on the elusive pirate.
Thinking that the other party had breached dozens of its ports and plundered a large amount of resources and people, Yang Hongyu could no longer sit still.
Directly ordered Xue Rengui and Zhang Chenggui stationed in Wugang to mobilize their troops to press forward and prepare to fall out with Datang.
And she sent an envoy to Chang'an to hold Li Shimin accountable.
Li Shimin, who didn't know that a black pot was about to be thrown at him, also received news that various parts of the coast were being attacked and that all the navy was massacred by pirates.
Although he had never been optimistic about the development of the Navy before, thinking that it was just a waste of money.
But when he saw that Lingnan Road and the Great Zhou Dynasty were vigorously developing naval forces, and would occasionally come to the Tang Dynasty to plunder, leaving him with no way to deal with it, he also planned to build a navy.
However, this dream has just started, and it has been converted into a new life by those very "friendly" neighbors around it.
Not only did he completely wipe out the navy he had just established, he even looted the base for the training and selection of navy soldiers.
Li Shimin knew without asking that the coastal areas had been looted one after another, and the local people must be thinking of ways to move inward.
If I want to recruit people and form a navy in the future, the difficulty will be several times higher than now.
Thinking of this, he immediately issued an order, asking Li Jing and Zhang Liang to temporarily give up their plans for the Huainan Road, recruit strong people on the spot, and re-establish the Tang Dynasty Navy.
At the same time, when the warrior Yu who was chasing Su Dingfang reached Dengzhou, he suddenly found that he was a step too late.
Su Dingfang had returned to Dengzhou City a long time ago and had deployed countless forts and defenses on both sides of the pier, as if he had been fully prepared and was waiting for him to take the bait.
After thinking that he would suffer heavy losses if he attacked by force, Samurai Yu completely gave up the plan of attacking by force.
He deployed three lines of defense directly outside the Dengzhou waters, completely besieging the Dengzhou Navy in the Dengzhou port.
Then, they sent out two small teams and began to continuously harass the coastal ports and docks of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Regarding what Samurai Yu did, Su Dingfang naturally knew that the other party wanted to force him to go out and fight with him.
But now, he is no match for the opponent at all. Going out for a decisive battle is just asking for death.
The only thing he can do now is to endure.
When the opponent's supplies run out or the soldiers can no longer hold on, they will naturally retreat.
Because he was worried that he would make Her Majesty the Empress suspicious by competing with the other party like this.
So Su Dingfang calmed down and wrote a memorial to Chu Xin.
The pros and cons of doing so are stated above, and I hope Her Majesty the Empress can understand.
Then he mentioned that he discovered at the Datong River port that it had become a pirate base camp.
The reason why the other party gathered there is probably to plot against Goguryeo. I hope Her Majesty the Empress will pay attention to it and take precautions as soon as possible.
After seeing the memorial sent by Su Dingfang, Chu Xin's vigilance about the mysterious force that overthrew the Goguryeo Dynasty reached its peak in an instant.
He immediately began to pay attention to the war situation in the north.
It was okay not to ask, but she almost pissed her off when she asked.
Originally, Chu Xin sent Hou Junji to Goguryeo to get a piece of the pie.
But what he didn't expect was that after Hou Junji arrived at Shenzhou City with the 70000 soldiers and horses he gave him, he stopped moving forward.
Although small groups of troops were sent out for tentative battles along the way.
But the final result is basically a complete failure.
After seeing the report, Chu Xin was completely disappointed with Li Junxian.
Immediately, she ordered Su Dingfang to hand over all affairs of the navy to his lieutenant.
As for himself, he mobilized 30000 soldiers from Henan Road and went to Goguryeo. He took over Li Junxian's position and became the general manager of the march in Liaodong Road, taking charge of all the affairs against Goguryeo.
As for Hou Junji, Chu Xin originally wanted to transfer him back, but when she thought about it, if this guy grew up, he might be a disaster in the future.
So in his letter to Su Dingfang, he vaguely mentioned that he wanted him to stay in Goguryeo forever.
After receiving Chu Xin's order, Su Dingfang immediately started arranging matters for going to Goguryeo. After explaining all the affairs, he took 30000 soldiers and went straight to Goguryeo.
Compared with Su Dingfang's calmness, Li Jing, who had just arrived in Hangzhou City, seemed a little unable to sit still.
It's not because the city of Hangzhou was visited twice by pirates, nor because all the Hangzhou navy was destroyed. The reason why I can't sit still is because there are two little followers behind me.
