Although both of them felt helpless, no one said anything.
After all, two people understand the saying "walls have ears" better than anyone else.
But what makes people wonder is, who is so blatant on the sea?
Could it be the navy of Wuyue Kingdom?
You must know that from Wenzhou in the Wuyue Kingdom to the vicinity of Mizhou in the Central Plains, this vast area of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea is basically the place where the Fusang people landed most. Some of them have even drifted as far as Fuzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian, and as far away as Zhenzhou and Gaozhou in Lingnan.
However, on the coastline directly opposite Fusang Kingdom, Wuyue Kingdom now has the greatest advantage. Yan Jingquan and Chen Hui were both generals of the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally knew something about these war preparations. Although neither of them are sailors, they still know a little bit about these things.
As the most powerful force in the south, the Tang State once had a vast sea coastline. However, as Jiangbei was occupied by the Central Plains, the Tang State now only owned Jiangyin, which still faced the outlet of the sea.
Normally, because of the fear that Zhou's navy would enter the river mouth from the sea, the court had blocked the sea, making it impossible for some large ships to enter. Under the emperor's instructions, the imperial court did this kind of thing with advantages and disadvantages in a lively manner.
Now it seems that they are shooting themselves in the foot, especially since both of them are experienced generals, they immediately thought of this dizzying thing. Hearing what Liu Xiaqi said, they all sighed slightly in their hearts, but there was no solution at all.
Because the Central Plains is not good at water warfare, otherwise the natural dangers of the Yangtze River would have been broken through long ago. In fact, what the Tang State was worried about was that its neighboring country, Wu Yue State, would take advantage of the situation. After all, most of the territories of the two countries are adjacent to each other, and Wuyue Kingdom is said to have small warships. For the navy that travels on the sea all year round, it would be a nightmare for the Tang State if they occupied the water village from the river mouth.
So I immediately thought that it was Wu Yueguo's method, which seemed normal to the two of them.
Besides, although Fusang Country seems not worth mentioning in the Central Plains, anyone who has been to Fusang Country knows that there are still some resources there. Especially those who tame and humble obedient people have always been the best candidates for coastal regimes to serve as slaves.
Maybe this time they saw that these people from Fusang Country did not go to their coastal state capital, so they wanted to get involved?
Both of them immediately rejected the idea!
Because although the Wuyue Kingdom has been in constant disputes with the Tang Kingdom in recent years, it still relies on the empty promises of the Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains. Therefore, every time the Zhou Kingdom marches south, the Wuyue Kingdom will wave its flag and stir up trouble at the border!
However, because all the previous disputes between the two countries ended in the defeat of Wu Yue, this dealt a heavy blow to Wu Yue. In particular, Li Hongyi, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, led his army to defend Runzhou. Later, he ordered Chai Kehong, the Marquis of Yu, to rescue the siege of Changzhou. He defeated the Wuyue army, killed thousands of people, and captured more than a dozen generals. It can be said that the Wuyue Kingdom was very afraid.
Even though the Wuyue Kingdom had some naval forces and even ships that the Tang Kingdom did not have, it actually had no advantage compared to the Tang Kingdom's river navy! Because no matter how powerful the building ship is, without the support of fighting ships, it will be difficult to survive alone. The Tang Dynasty's rivers and lakes navy is still the most famous among the southern countries.
Suddenly, the two of them thought of something important. When they looked at each other, they couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in their eyes, as if they understood each other's meaning instantly.
Liu Xiaqi sighed slightly when he saw the two people looking attentive, but he still spoke respectfully. It turns out that these samurai who are responsible for protecting the palace owner can be said to be raised by the Fujiwara family, and their loyalty is unquestionable. So when they attacked the ship, they resisted desperately because they had a beautiful lady and some important things.
In the end, Jiangyin's patrol ship arrived. Apart from the dead warriors and followers, there were less than twenty injured and intact people left on the big ship. When talking about this, you can see that the other three people have red eyes. Especially the girl who always looked docile had tears welling up in her eyes.
Yan Jingquan did not ask Liu Xiaqi out loudly, but turned his head to look at You Huashe and Zhang Jie.
You Huashe first smiled brightly, and then clasped his fists in a low voice with a hint of uneasiness: "General Yan, don't be angry. You are just a member of You Shilang's house. He got the position he has today because of a coincidence. When he saw this situation at that time, , reported it to the imperial court at the same time, and informed the Minister You!"
Perhaps seeing Yan Jingquan's indifferent expression, You Huashe calmed down and said in a low voice: "Unexpectedly, there was no instruction from the imperial court, but instead, You Shilang passed down some reprimands!" When he saw Chen Hui, he didn't say a word either. , and finally had the courage to speak: "You Shilang reprimanded a certain person, saying that the imperial court has always had strict orders at the river estuary. No merchant ships, regardless of overseas ships, are allowed to enter the river estuary!"
Chen Jie looked at Yan Jingquan, frowned and said, "These people are really so bold. Can they kill all the ships regardless of the ship?"
"What do you think, General Chen?" Yan Jingquan smiled faintly and chuckled in a self-deprecating tone: "Being able to alert the Ministry of Rites shows that Lao You still put in some effort!"
The two people were talking incoherently, and no one else could understand them. But when I think about the certainty of this, I know in my heart that it is just that the various departments in the imperial court are afraid that something will get involved and cause trouble for the emperor!
"You Shilang took this matter into his own hands, and you found a certain family again. It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Yan Jingquan did not hide his shame. After all, people like him, although they don't look like mice crossing the street, they definitely don't. It would be delicious, so when looking at these two young people, Yan Jingquan did not hold back his thoughts.
Sure enough, the first person to be embarrassed was Zhang Jie. He cautiously clasped his fists at Yan Jingquan and said, "Because at that time, a pirate was fished out of the water, and the man was still alive. Finally, he learned an amazing news, saying that this was The pirates actually come from a team led by a pirate leader called Nine Deaths, one of the most powerful Pacific pirates in recent years!"
Perhaps seeing that Chen Jie was silent, he actually licked his mouth and sped up his speech: "It is said that they wanted to get a valuable treasure from the Fuso people and capture the two palace masters, so they launched an attack on the two ships. Attacked!"
Later, when they heard the changes reported by Zhang Jie, although they were somewhat unexpected, to Yan Jingquan and Chen Hui, they felt that they were somewhat expected. Sure enough, someone tipped off the information and colluded with people from Fuso Kingdom to attack the team offshore.
But it seems that someone from the Tang court intervened, and they really don’t know what to say!
