He could only wait here at Kouzi, hoping that Tong Yue and the others would come over quickly.
Time passed bit by bit, but they were still nowhere to be seen.
Tong Li was even thinking, had Tong Yue and the others taken the wrong tunnel?
"This piece of trash can't even do such a small thing!"
Tong Li cursed loudly, looked at the torch that was about to go out, quickly replaced it with a new one, and then turned back in a hurry.
Not long after he opened the secret door and walked out, a voice came from the front. He was overjoyed and walked over quickly. Unexpectedly, the next moment, a knife was placed on his neck.
"Chief Tong, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, come with us!"
The sound made Tong Li feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar. At that moment, all the strength in his body was drained away.
Then a pair of strong hands grabbed his neck, and he felt it became difficult to breathe.
After being pulled out of the tunnel, he saw his wife, children and children kneeling there.
He didn't understand why this was happening.
Not long after, a tall man walked in and asked: "Are you Tong Li, this old boy?
How dare you go against our Highness? "
Tong Li's head was in a state of confusion.
Who is the His Highness this man is talking about?
He didn't know.
Could it be that a certain prince from Zhangzhou is here?
But I didn't offend them.
Or is the person behind Peach Blossom Island a certain prince of Zhang Zhou?
However, this doubt disappeared until he saw Qian Hegao being arrested.
If they are not Qian Hegao's people, then who are these cavalry?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
"You are from Daye, no, to be precise, you are from King Wu? This is impossible. Isn't King Wu in charge of the exam in the capital?" Tong Li stared at the man in front of him.
Li Jiba sneered and said: "Why does His Highness need to take action against you? Just wait here and watch how my people wipe out the cavalry you raised."
His trip was so worthwhile and timely.
It was a real surprise to break Tongjia Town and capture Qian Hegao.
However, thanks to His Highness's wisdom, he made preparations in advance.
The Destiny Group, Judgment, and Judgment, these three organizations are really too strong.
In the afternoon of that day, the cavalry that Tong Li kept outside the forest of Fifty Miles Mountain were also wiped out by Liao Sheng, killing 1,600 enemies and the rest were all captured.
On the other side, the navy led by King Kong Nu also arrived at Peach Blossom Island.
At the same time, Han Fuchun and Shi Renji were reviewing the cavalry and infantry on the island.
There are many islands around Peach Blossom Island, but the territory is only so big. In addition to more than 30,000 soldiers and generals, there are also more than 10,000 women and children on the island.
This is very stressful for them.
As the control of the Daye court became more and more stringent, it became increasingly difficult to obtain food from within Daye. Fortunately, they relied on the mountains to eat and the sea to eat, so there was no big problem in the short term.
However, if this continues, they will soon be unable to hold on.
"I don't know what the discussion between Qian Hegao and Tong Li is like. If Tong Li sends troops, we will empty out the Ningbo government treasury. The neighboring places will not be able to withstand our attack!" Shi Renji said.
The reason why they don't take the initiative is because of their reputation. The great cause is forbidden to the sea, so they help the people who have difficulties in life. If one thing goes down, the other will go up, and it will be much easier for them to do things in the future.
And letting the Tong family take action is not only to use them as a shield, but also to divert the hatred of the people. In the end, the benefits will only fall on them.
Since they can let Daye get into trouble, they can also survive the immediate crisis of lack of food.
"No matter what, we must take action before Qiu Wei. Daye has now passed the most difficult period. The original stable situation has been broken. We cannot watch Daye continue to expand its strength." Han Fuchun took a deep breath, "Fortunately, now Although Daye defeated Yingchang, all the troops were sent out to guard it. Although there are still troops in the interior to defend the capital, they are still unable to face us.
Moreover, our strength is no longer weak! "
Shi Renji deeply believed it, "I don't know what the imperial court is worried about and why it wants to withdraw its troops. If they form an alliance with Chen Han in one go, they might even be able to defeat Daye Capital by now!"
"The imperial court has its own concerns, which are not something you and I can criticize." Han Fuchun thought for a while and said, "However, after all, the imperial court's concern is reputation, just like us.
Look at Daye, although Daye occupies Dayi, Emperor Daye did not immediately deny us and Chen Han. What does this mean?
It shows that they have no confidence and dare not completely fall out with us at this time.
If Emperor Daye issued a proclamation saying that he was orthodox, then the Three Kingdoms would go to war in an instant. "
Shi Renji frowned, "This is too bearable!"
"The great cause of autumn is coming soon, so this is a good opportunity for us. Let the Tong family send troops. Let's seize the surrounding cities and see if the great cause is imminent." Han Fuchun smiled confidently, "I want them to be here now They have lost face in front of the students all over the world, but let’s see if they have the face to call themselves orthodox in the future!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Renji pointed to the sea not far away and said, "Look, what is over there?"
Han Fuchun looked in the direction of his finger and his expression changed, "It looks like a merchant ship!"
Shi Renji frowned, "Are they from the Japanese island country? No, their merchant ships are not that big!"
Han Fuchun has contact with the Japanese island country. Last month, they sent people to the Japanese island country to negotiate, hoping that the Japanese island country would send troops to attack the coast of Daye.
However, those people in the Japanese island country are very timid, they are all petty thieves, and their actions are very small.
On the contrary, there are some rogues, very ferocious. They are bandits on the island. They have their heads on their waists and are not afraid of death at all.
"Gather the people quickly!" Han Fuchun's intuition told him that these people were definitely not just merchant ships.
Shi Renji did not dare to delay, and hurriedly asked someone to blow the horn. When they heard the sound of the horn, everyone gathered together.
"Quick, get on the boat, be ready to fight at any time!" Han Fuchun glanced at Shi Renji, "Old Shi, lead the troops to fight!"
Shi Renji nodded. The two of them were able to occupy Peach Blossom Mountain for so long because of their tacit understanding. Whether the other party was a merchant ship or someone from the Japanese island country, they must be prepared for a battle.
If not, they are just wasting some time at best!
Han Fuchun hurriedly returned to the main camp and gathered his men, ready to fight at any time.
Standing on the main stronghold, he could see further.
The leader's ship must have exceeded 1,500 yuan. There are very few such large ships in Ningbo Prefecture.
Moreover, a fleet of this size could have at least five thousand people.
Therefore, there is absolutely no way this is a merchant ship.
"Give me the order to fight!" Han Fuchun roared.
Shi Renji boarded the main ship and looked at the approaching fleet. He held his breath and concentrated. He drew out the sword from his waist and pointed straight ahead, "Charge over and destroy them!"
