The slap was so loud that Luo Fubang was startled and grabbed Li Mobai's collar, raised his fist like a wine jar, "You old pervert dare to hit me as soon as we meet, see if I don't knock your teeth out."

Knock it down."

Li Mobai didn't seem to be afraid at all, and said with a smile: "The lieutenant asked me to give him this slap."

"Lieutenant?" Luo Fubang let go of Li Mobai's collar, sat down again, and asked softly: "Is Taiwei okay?"

Dakui sat down aside and poured himself a bowl of wine, "When did you learn from those scholars who are sour and grumpy? You are not a small soldier. You probably know what the situation of the Taiwei is now. The imperial court is doing it all day long.

I wonder how the more than 30,000 forbidden troops who have been recruited besides him are not peaceful, how can they live a good life."

Luo Fubang held the wine bowl and asked, "Then if you don't stay in Yangzhou to help him, why are you coming to Quanzhou?"

"The Taiwei has some property in Ryukyu, and Dakui and I have been asked to take care of it."

"Pfft" the drink from Luo Fubang's mouth spurted out, "Could those pirates in Ryukyu be you?"

"What pirates! We are just doing some business there."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. You are all engaged in smuggling and plundering merchant ships from time to time. Just move away now. We will send troops to deal with you after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Hey, don't worry. Ever since we snatched the tribute ship sent by Liu Congxiao to Tokyo, we have been always ready."

"The tribute ship has not come back for so long. It turns out it was robbed by you. Are you really brave? Do you think Liu Congxiao is a vegetarian?"

Dakui said: "We know that he has a few tricks up his sleeve, so we decided to kill him before he takes action and occupy the two states of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou."

"How many troops do you have?"

Dakui immediately held out five fingers.

"fifty thousand?"

"It's five thousand!"

Luo Fubang quickly waved his hand and said: "Then you should move out early. If all five thousand people are dead, we may not even be able to touch the top of the city of Quanzhou."

Li Mobai smiled and said: "Hey, aren't you still the internal agent?"

"Haha... The regiment under my command is a little weak in training and combat effectiveness. I don't know if they can listen to me at the critical moment. It's better to give up. Let's go back to Ryukyu and sneak back to Huainan with the people.

"

Li Mobai smiled and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk... This is not like what you said. You were so heroic in the past. In front of Zhou Taizu, you dared to say that you joined the army to revive the Tang Dynasty. Now you are looking forward and backward, and you are simply a coward.

"

"I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want you to die in vain. Instead, I've become a coward."

Dakui said: "How could we die here in vain? Have you ever heard of the thunder that shook the sky?"

When Luo Fubang heard this, he immediately became interested, "Of course I have heard of Thunder Thunder. Some time ago, some merchants from Yangzhou said that when Thunder Thunder rang, the sky shook and the whole city of Yangzhou shook. If there was such a thing,

Maybe I’m still a little sure. What on earth is this? Can you let me have a look?”

"That thing is so dangerous that we will carry it with us!" Da Kui patted Luo Fubang on the shoulder and said, "So you agree?"

Luo Fubang rubbed his chin and asked: "Your Majesty is far away in Huainan, why do you care about Zhangzhou and Quanzhou?"

"Why else, raise soldiers! Huainan is quite wealthy. It is not too difficult to raise tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, but it is a bit difficult to raise tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Armor, weapons, horses, food and grass are all free of charge. Zhang

Quanzhou and Quanzhou have the benefits of maritime trade, so there is no need to exploit the people too much. The surplus can be sent to Huainan to help the Taiwei raise his troops."

"The benefits of sea trade have indeed made Liu Congxiao a lot of money, but... although the Qingyuan Army has become independent, it is still the territory of the Tang State in name. How can the Emperor of the Tang State be willing to give up!"

Li Mobai said: "This is not simple. It is enough to defeat Zhangquan and continue to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, the Qingyuan Army has already established itself. As long as Li Jing's face is taken care of, there should be no big fight. The Taiwei only needs to benefit from it."

That’s it.”

"The Taiwei is still a minister of the Song Dynasty. Wouldn't it mean that he is lowering his status by proclaiming himself a minister of the Tang Dynasty?"

Dakui spat out the crab shells in his mouth and said: "You used to be very clever, but now you are dumber than me. Let me tell you straight. The Taiwei asked you to be the military commander of the Qingyuan Army and continue to give the Tang Dynasty

The emperor is his grandson, but the benefits will be given to the Taiwei."

Luo Fubang smiled bitterly and said: "Only the Taiwei can come up with such an idea. But if I do this, it will be different from staying here. How can I be worthy of the Tang Dynasty..."

Snap!

There was another crisp sound, this time much harder than Li Mobai's blow, and Luo Fubang was knocked to the ground directly, and blood continued to gush out from Luo Fubang's mouth and nose.

Da Kui rubbed his hands and cursed: "What the hell! Feng Jie Du Shou Jie Yue, this big happy event has happened to you. The ancestral graves are almost covered in smoke, and you are still pretending like a bitch."

I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty fed you. You were so happy getting promoted and getting rich in Quanzhou, marrying a wife and having children, that you probably forgot that you still have a family in Tokyo, and your wife, children, and children are all taken care of by the Taiwei for you."

Dakui took out a letter from his waist and threw it on Luo Fubang, "Look who wrote this!"

Luo Fubang reached for the letter, opened it and only glanced at it, then he held his head and cried, "Shimin, my son! I can't forgive you two as a father!"

The tough man cried bitterly while reading the letter. The letter, which was written in small regular script, was stained with tears and blood. Luo Fubang read it over and over again like a treasure. When he encountered words he didn't recognize, he had to ask Li Mobai for help.

"Okay! Okay! Stop crying, just like a bitch, if you feel angry and don't want to go your way, just hit me back... oh, damn, you really hit me!"

"I'm the one who beat you, you idiot! Li Mobai slapped me with the courage of the Taiwei. How could you dare to beat me? If Shimin hadn't said that you helped the family, I would have killed you today."

Relieve anger."

"Haha... I finally saw some of my former energy. What do you think of the matter that the Lieutenant entrusted to you?"

Luo Fubang stuffed the letter back into his arms, "The Lieutenant treats me with great kindness. I will do whatever he says!"

"If you had said that, you would have been beaten less!" Dakui pushed Luo Fubang back on the chair, picked up the wine jar and filled him with wine, "The three of us will not return home until we are drunk today!"

"Shh-" Li Mobai suddenly made a silent gesture.

Luo Fubang asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Li Mobai pointed to the door and said softly: "There seems to be someone eavesdropping outside the door!"

Luo Fubang and Dakui looked stern when they heard this. They tiptoed towards the door quietly. When they reached the door, Dakui opened the door and saw a person outside the door with his head tilted to the side as if listening. He didn't wait for him.

If there was any reaction, Luo Fubang had already put the knife on his neck. When he saw the man's appearance, he was surprised and said: "Chen Tongjun!"

Luo Fubang pulled the man into the house, but he did not take off the knife on the man's neck. He saw that this man was about forty years old, with a long face and high cheekbones, and a pair of eyes that were darting around. At first glance, he was not a good man.

Good people.

Chen Hongjin smiled coquettishly and said: "I made an appointment with some people to drink here. I heard the sound of the guards in this private room. I was about to say hello to the guards, but unexpectedly the door opened."

Li Mobai asked with a smile: "So you didn't hear anything?"

"I didn't hear anything. You two look strange. Are they friends of Luo Jushou?"

"You guy, you've gone too far!" Li Mobai said to Luo Fubang: "It's a mistake to keep him whether he heard it or not. Just kill him."

Dakui had already drawn a knife in his hand and was about to greet Chen Hongjin. When Chen Hongjin saw this, he knelt on the ground with a plop and raised his hands to Luo Fubang.

Let’s act together.”

"Hehe... That's nice to say. When you leave the restaurant, who knows if you will run to complain to Liu Congxiao. Da Kui killed him, so what are you doing in a daze?"

Chen Hongjin begged with a grimace: "Luo Jushou, please speak for me. You know that I have a quarrel with Liu Congxiao, and I have no less troops than you and control the defense of the harbor and the east gate. If I join the army, I will definitely do it."

The odds of winning are greatly increased.”

Luo Fubang looked at Li Mobai and said, "He does have some rifts with Liu Congxiao. Having him here will get twice the result with twice the result."

Li Mobai stroked his sparse beard and said: "This is really embarrassing for me. If we lose, we are not capable enough and we have no one to blame. But if we believe you and lose your life in vain, it would be unjust. I will feel at ease only if I kill you."

.”

"I am the commander of the army. If you kill me, it will be like leaking the secret in advance. If you stay here, you must be prepared. It will be difficult to take Quanzhou again."

Dakui said: "I have thunder in my hands. Even if Quanzhou City is poured with molten iron, I can't blow a hole in it. You don't have to worry about us. Close your eyes quickly and I'll give you a good time!"

"Thunder?" Chen Hongjin waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Don't do anything, I am willing to write a letter of allegiance to Captain Xu and send my eldest son as a hostage!"

The horizontal knife that almost hit Chen Hongjin's neck stopped abruptly. Dakui looked at Li Mobai and said, "What should I do? This is the first time I have seen such a sensible person. It would be a pity to kill him."

Chen Hongjin said: "If it's not Chen who is interested, I have heard of Taiwei Xu's reputation a long time ago and admired it for a long time. Zhen Tianlei also heard it mentioned by merchants from Yangzhou recently, and it was so miraculous. Just as the general said,

You can win Quanzhou with or without Chen's help. Rather than defecting in the future, why not attach your tail now? It's really just for fame and fortune!"

"You also said that you are ignorant. Although it is our first time to meet you, I feel like we are old friends at first sight!" Li Mobai smiled and helped Chen Hongjin up. "Chen Tongjun please sit down with us and let's discuss how to capture Quanzhou!"

Chen Hongjin said: "It's not difficult to say. I know that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the officials and generals will be having a banquet in the mansion. By then, the city's defenses will be relaxed..."

Chen Hongjin decided on the strategy of taking Quanzhou in a few words, and asked Luo Fubang to find his eldest son Chen Wenxian. After some instructions, he asked him to follow Li Mobai out to sea.

August 15th is coming soon. Although it is not as grand as the Hungry Ghost Festival, it is still very lively, especially on the pier, even though the sky has darkened, there are still people coming and going.

Liu Congxiao managed the two states of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in a systematic way. He ordered soldiers to farm the fields and recruited people to reclaim wasteland. He not only paid attention to farming but also to maritime trade. He expanded ports and built roads. In addition, he also built many huge warehouses for merchants to store goods.

use.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would not have expected that there were a large number of soldiers hiding in several warehouses at this moment. They were all wearing standard armor and weapons, which were all brought over by Xu Xian when he occupied Changzhou.

Da Kui put his eyes to the crack in the door and looked out. He saw that there were still many people on the pier, "You shouldn't listen to Chen Hongjin's nonsense. We chose this day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. If someone discovers it, we will set a fire."

It's going to be all over the place. If I had known earlier, I might as well have stayed on the ship."

Chen Wenxian on the side said: "Don't worry, Marquis Fang Yu, there will be many people on the dock no matter whether it is a festival or not. The reason why my father chose the warehouse here for me to hide is because it is the closest to the city gate and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk."

That’s all.”
