"What should we do now?" Yang Lin waved his hands, it was useless to get angry now, it was better to quickly think of a way to save him. No matter what, he had to continue acting as a grandson. As long as Hanling Emperor Liu Hong did not die, he would not be able to calm down.
Just as the strategists were deep in thought, Xin Pi walked forward and cupped her fists as she said, "Lord General, the best course of action now is to divert the attention of the imperial government and the emperor as soon as possible. Weren't we just discussing the Rebellion? Coincidentally, Lelang County Imperial Guard Zheng Ping had reported to the imperial government a few days ago, saying that the Leroy County was in rebellion and requested the imperial government to dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion. We can let Lelang County Imperial Guard report this to the imperial government urgently once again. At the same time, Lord General will personally report this to the imperial government and mobilize his troops at the same time. When the imperial government and the emperor saw that the Lord General was busy defusing the rebellion, they probably would not pay attention to this matter for the time being. "
"I agree with Mr. Xin Pi." The Zhang Banxian nodded his head and no longer mentioned his westward journey plan. He stood up and said: "However, Lord General, we cannot let Liu Bei go just like that. As the saying goes, a mouse who has lost a pot of soup, we cannot let him continue to do bad things, we must think of a way to get him to scram! "
"Mr. Zhang Ling, didn't I just say it? Although it was just a county magistrate, the rural gentry had a better evaluation of him than the Lord Taishang. If you were to rashly touch him, you will certainly damage Lord General's reputation. " Xin Ping understood Zhang Banxian, he thought that Zhang Banxian was planning to attack him, and immediately advised him.
"Hehe …" Mr. Xin Ping misunderstood. " Zhang Banxian laughed, then said: "Although Liu Bei's official voice is good, I do not believe that I can find any problems. But don't touch him right now, calm down for a while first. "
Yang Lin stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, then said solemnly: "I've decided. Guangyang only left a few cavalry units, the other cavalry units and commandos to head to Leroy County, to spread the news of Yue Lang's defeat. At the same time, the East Liaoning Subordinate Country was ordered to use the name of pacifying the Wu Huan rebellion within the borders as an order to lock down the entire territory and prevent people from coming and going. "
As a result, the main force of the Youzhou Army had been transferred to the eastern part of the Youzhou. Even if the imperial government wanted to take action, it could not do anything to Yang Lin and Youzhou Army. If necessary, even the emissaries of the imperial court would not be able to pass East Liaoning Subordinate Country.
"Lord General, now that something like this has happened, I think we should still send someone to the Imperial Court. Even if we can't see the Emperor, the Grand General Ho Jin, or even the Chief Eunuch Zhang, it would be good. At least explain it to them so that the Emperor won't be suspicious of the Lord General." Xin Ping stood out and solemnly reminded Yang Lin.
Seeing the strategists nod, Yang Lin also felt that it was necessary. "It has been so many years since I have last had any contact with these ministers. Even the Chief Eunuch Zhang has never seen me doing any favors. It's time to give them some sweets." Mr. Xin Ping was right, he should meet them. I still have a few rare treasures I can give to Grand General Ho Jin, Chief Eunuch Zhang Jean and Song Dian respectively, so I'll have to trouble you two brothers a bit, how about it? "
"Yes sir!" Xin Ping and Xin Pi, the two brothers, quickly walked up and cupped their fists as they accepted the mission.
Yang Lin took a few pieces of spongy silk from Liang Tian's hands and casually flipped through them. Other than the matter of Liu Bei's performance, there was another piece of news that caught Yang Lin's attention, and it was that the imperial court's Sanglang, Cai Yong, had been arrested and imprisoned. Wasn't this Cai Yong the father of Cai Yan? That was a famed talented girl and beauty, and she took this opportunity to bring her family to the Youzhou.
"Is this Cai Yong the knowledgeable Cai Yong who is well versed in history, astronomy, and music?" As the face of the Militaries, Yang Lin intentionally asked.
"Yes, has Lord General heard of him?" Xin Ping said affirmatively as she received the spongy silk in her hand.
"This is a talent, it would really be a pity to be killed by the Eunuch. Furthermore, Sir Xin Ping, Sir Xin Pi, when you guys come to Luoyang, let us see if we can find a way to bring their family here. " Yang Lin instructed Xin Ping and Xin Pi.
This was the first time Yang Lin came to the Liaodong. As a rider general and the Youzhou's assassin, he did not have the time to explore his own territory. This time, Cavalry, which was made up of more than 100,000 captives and elites, could be considered to have patrolled his own territory.
Along the way, Yang Lin did not stay any longer. After passing Liaodong City, he let Yan Liang lead a large group of cavalry to rush to Leroy County, while he himself brought Zhang Banxian, Zhao Yun, Cang Ba and a portion of the cavalry to fly towards Ji Shi County.
The new county magistrate was called Wu Li, a local scholar in Liaodong. When he knew that the Lord General was coming, he immediately brought the officials to welcome Yang Lin. As for the ones who came with him, they were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two newly recruited water generals, Huang Bo and Huang Tao.
When Huang Bo, Huang Tao, Wu Li and the rest saw Yang Lin's large army from five kilometers away, they immediately went up and greeted him courteously. Yang Lin was used to such situations, so after exchanging a few words with the officials, he let them go back, and brought Huang Bo and Huang Tao back to the pier.
Huang Bo and Huang Tao were fishermen in Yan Clan County. Since they were young, they had been fishing in the ocean, not only in the Triple Korea, but also in the area of the Viking Island. Furthermore, with his high level of martial arts, and Zhang Fei had set their sights on him and recommended him to become a water army general.
Floating in the sea all year round, causing the two brothers to be tanned by the sun. Yang Lin laughed and asked with concern: "Seeing how the both of you brothers are tanned by the sun, are all the soldiers of the water army like you?"
"Reporting to the Lord General, the two brothers from the troll army are always at sea. They are pretty much always at a disadvantage." Huang Bo laughed in embarrassment, revealing two rows of pure white teeth.
"Hehe …" It's better to be tanned, as it will be healthier! " Yang Lin laughed, feeling gratified towards the two brothers. Huang Bo, Huang Tao, the troll army has been established for two years.
"To return to Lord General, we currently have more than three hundred large and small ships, including more than thirty large ships, more than a hundred medium sized ships, more than two hundred small ships and more than a hundred small ships that are still under construction. There are the Three ten thousand people s of the Water Army, most of them are fishermen from Liaodong and Yue Lang, and there are also a few fishermen from Gaoguanli and Triple Korea. " Huang Bo cupped his hands towards Yang Lingong and said solemnly.
"Oh …" Why are there people from the Gaoguellian? " Yang Lin asked in shock.
"They are all experienced sailors, familiar with the waterways, the waves, and they speak Chinese so well that it's almost impossible to tell them apart from us. Their families are all in the county, so they were recruited." Huang Bo thought that Yang Lin wanted to blame them, so he quickly explained.
"So that's how it is!" With these Gaoguellian people, perhaps it would be of some help to him in conquering these places. He nodded and continued to ask: "Where have you all been all these years?"
"We reached the Kuijs Island as far north as the Kuijs Island, followed by the Viking Island, Japan, the Sphere Islands, and the Ryukyu Islands. We reached the Yizhou Island, Taiwan, as we headed south." Huang Bo was someone who liked the ocean, so he was especially excited when he mentioned these places.
"What kind of people are on those islands, what specialties?" Although Yang Lin knew about these ancient places, he did not know anything about the situation on these islands.
"These are all savage and wild people. The natives of Kuijs Island, Viking Island and Sphere Island were even more ignorant than the natives of Gaoguellian and Triple Korea. Other than growing food, feeding chickens and pigs, there was nothing else. It was no use at all for the ship to come to them. Only Yizhou Island in the south can do business with some of the people of the Central Plains who have fled. " Huang Bo shook his head, as though he felt pity that Yang Lin had invested so much money and yet was unable to reap any rewards.
"Who said it's useless? Currently, the Central Plains has been a wasteland for many years, and the Youzhou is filled with refugees. Yang Lin looked at Huang Bo and Huang Tao, and continued to speak. "I am preparing to place these refugees on these islands to clear and farm. What do you think?"
"That's a good idea!" Huang Bo nodded his head, and said cautiously: "Lord General, those natives are very barbaric, if we go to their territory to farm, we will definitely clash with them, wouldn't we have to send troops to protect them?"
"As long as we go to the Wasteland soldier s on these islands, we will use the formation method of the army to carry out militarized management. Yang Lin paused and then said to them: "Your next task is to first continue building large ships and expand the scale of the fleet. The second reason is to transport the Wasteland soldier to these islands and help them build a base there. The third is to cross the Yizhou Island and continue south in search of the Luzon Islands, the Philippine Islands, the South Atlantic Islands and the Indonesian Islands, and to establish a base on these islands. "
"Lord General, after we reached the Yizhou Island, we sailed towards the south. We didn't find any islands in the south, right?" Huang Tao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said. He had personally been to Yizhou Island and thought that they had arrived at the southernmost area.
"Hehe …" This world is very big, not only are there many islands like this, but there are also many continents like the Central Plains. Speaking till here, Yang Lin could not help but feel a little sad. With his current skill level, he would probably never be able to explore this world for the rest of his life.
"Lord General, have any of us ever traversed those islands?" Huang Tao was still unsure, so he asked carefully. He had also consulted a lot of old sailors, but there were very few who had been to the Yizhou Island, and they had never heard of it before. Many sailors thought that once they passed Yizhou Island, they would reach the end of the sky.
"Of course!" Although Yang Lin did not know about the current situation of the South Sea Islands, in order to encourage Huang Bo and Huang Tao, he still said these words with certainty. A lot of people from the Central Plains have been to the South Atlantic Islands and have done business with them, so you must speed up your progress and find these islands as soon as possible. "
"Yes sir!" Huang Bo and Huang Tao cupped their fists and solemnly said: "We will immediately arrange a plan to sail far away, hoping to find Lu Song and the other islands in the Southern Ocean as soon as possible."
Yang Lin nodded his head, and said with a stern expression: "From the northern Kuijs Island, to Viking Island, Balls Island, Yizhou Island, Luzon, all the way to Nanyang Island, they have lined up into a chain of pearl islands around the Central Plains, this is a natural barrier that the heavens have bestowed upon us, we must do everything we can to hold this chain of pearl islands in our hands, I call this plan of pearl islands."
"Understood!" Huang Bo and Huang Tao answered in unison.
