Chapter 421 Deduction

From land to Guangzhou, it is almost 3,000 to 4,000 miles away. The carriage on the land is 50 or 100 miles a day. This is still a burden. If you include Xu Ruoxi, who is pregnant with a big belly, you may be at most 30 or 50 miles a day. Although the water route is almost half a distance longer than land route, the speed is much faster than land route. Without too much wind and waves, there is no problem with one or two hundred miles a day. More importantly, Jia Sidao will be less often sent by local officials, which can reduce many unnecessary troubles.

However, it is a bit inconvenient to take water than land. Nowadays, there are not many coastal ports in the Song Dynasty, so it is not so convenient for the fleet to replenish supplies. Fortunately, Zhao Yun gave the Beiwei Army to Jia Sidao to guard the company. The supply along the way can be prepared by Zhang Xing and others of the Beiwei Army. At that time, there is no need to find a special port and dock supply.

Fortunately, Xu Ruoxi was only a little seasick in the first two or three days, and soon got used to it. Otherwise, Jia Sidao would be really troublesome, but even if Xu Ruoxi was not seasick, the severe pregnancy reaction would have made it difficult for the ship to go up and down. Fortunately, there were three imperial doctors sent by Zhao Yun to follow along, otherwise Jia Sidao would have to choose to change to land.

Jia Sidao accompanied Xu Ruoxi in Xu Ruoxi's room until she fell asleep again, then slowly got up and turned around and left. In just a few days, Xu Ruoxi had lost weight a lot, and after all, she was not as comfortable as her home on the boat. Strictly speaking, the best choice was that Xu Ruoxi stayed in Lin'an City. This would not only reduce the criticism, but also that Xu Ruoxi could also suffer less that she should not have suffered. After all, all the officials in the border areas were basically staying in Lin'an City, and no one could do that. However, Jia Sidao set a precedent in the court.

If it weren't for his fierce reputation, and if Xu Ruoxi followed Jia Sidao and Zhao Yun went south, he would have opened the golden mouth first, this alone would be enough for the officials of the censors to participate in his scrutiny.

Outside the cabin, Chuntao and Luzhu were waiting for each other. Jia Sidao gave a few words of advice and then went downstairs to leave.

This tower ship is Jia Sidao's car and the largest of the five tower ships. It has as many as five floors. The fourth and fifth floors are where Jia Sidao and his family live. In fact, there are not many people in Jiaqi. In addition to Xu Ruoxi, Chuntao Luzhu Xiaocui and others, there are only less than ten people together. The third floor is a study, the second floor is Ding Daquan, Hong Wenhao and Yu Jie live, and the first floor is Zhou Bo, Qiu Shang, Zhao Yi and others. As for Jiang Hai, he is on another tower ship, responsible for guiding the way and responding to some emergencies.

Jia Sidao's tower ship was not stationed by any soldiers, and five hundred navy soldiers were among the other four tower ships.

As soon as he arrived at the third floor, Jia Sidao saw Ding Daquan with pale faces climbing up to the third floor from downstairs. If this trip was the most painful, except Xu Ruoxi, it was probably Ding Daquan. It has been seven days since he got on the boat. Ding Daquan vomited and diarrhea from the day he got on board. He was old and now he has lost weight. If it weren't for the three imperial doctors on board, Jia Sidao would have returned to Lin'an City the next day after the boat was on board.

"Brother Ziwan, I said that if you are in good health, you can rest in the cabin and don't have to come to the study every day."

While Jia Sidao was speaking, Jia Quaner, who was following him, stepped forward and supported Ding Daquan with a wink.

"Sir, I feel that my subordinates have improved a lot, it's okay."

Ding Daquan was also having trouble. He wanted to lie down in the cabin, but he was only following Jia Sidao after all. If he didn't take advantage of the journey to integrate into the circle of this young adult and understand the temperament of this young adult, he would probably not have such a good opportunity in the future. Otherwise, if he violated the taboo of this adult one day, he would be truly doomed.

So, taking advantage of the fact that today I felt much better, Ding Daquan hurriedly got up from the bed and thought of getting familiar with him in the study.

Seeing that Ding Daquan was like this, Jia Sidao didn't have much to say, so he had to say, "Okay, Brother Zi Wan, please."

"Sir, please."

Jia Sidao no longer refused and walked into the study. Hong Wenhao and Yu Jie, who had been waiting in the study before, bowed and bowed.

It was the first time Ding Daquan came to this study room. After coming in, he found that it was a different world. The huge cabin was not divided into several rooms like the rest of the cabin, but only one room. In the center of the room was a huge object piled with mud and sand, which looked like a topographic map. In addition to mountains, rivers, there were also small wooden people, horses and small flags.

After comparing the huge Song Dynasty landform map on one side of the cabin, Ding Daquan discovered that the thing placed on the table, which looked like a mold, was actually a copy of the real landform map of the entire Song Dynasty. The things on the table not only marked the mountains, rivers and rivers in various parts of the Song Dynasty, but even some large cities and cities.

It turned out that Lord God had been fiddling with these things in the cabin these days, but he didn't know what the thing was for. Since he didn't know what it was for, Ding Daquan did not interrupt and greeted Hong Wenhao and Yu Jie and stood quietly aside.

"Yifu, where did you think of it yesterday?"

Jia Sidao waved his hand and did not make polite to Hong Wenhao and Yu Jie, but went straight to the point.

I have known Jia Sidao's character in the past few days because I stayed together every day. Both Hong Wenhao and Yu Jie have actually learned a little about this. This youngest powerful man in the Song Dynasty is actually not as domineering as the rumors say. On the contrary, as long as you get close to him, you will find that he has no airs at all, and can even be said to be rude, and it is even easier to talk than ordinary common people in the civilians. And he is extremely easy-going. In the past two days, he often argues with Yu Jie for deductions. On several occasions, Hong Wenhao was worried about Yu Jie, but he never thought that after the quarrel, the adult immediately looked like a person who was fine, and what should he do?

So at this moment, the two of them saw Jia Sidao say this, and naturally they knew that this adult was going to go straight to the point again.

"Last time, sir said that you would send all the soldiers who were on Tu Xue's West Road back to Zhending Mansion."

Yu Jie quickly entered the state and replied.

"Well, Tuxue's more than 100,000 elite soldiers are very useful to me now. I will draw all of Tuxue's more than 100,000 troops back."

Following Jia Sidao's words, Ding Daquan saw Jia Quan'er picking up a small wooden horse with a pickup pole and put it in the direction representing Zhending Mansion.

"Sir, I have transferred Tuxue's more than 100,000 troops back. Shi Tianze thinks there is no reinforcements. But Sun Kui's miscellaneous Later Jin army will definitely not be able to fight the hundreds of thousands of troops. So what is the intention of transferring Tuxue back?" Yu Jie looked at the sand table without turning his eyes and said to himself.

"Brother Zicheng, what are you doing?"

Ding Daquan looked at it for a while but still couldn't figure it out. How could Tuxue's army be moved by the adults? In desperation, he had to carefully approach Hong Wenhao and whisper.

Hong Wenhao was watching Jia Sidao and Yu Jie confront each other with concentration, but he didn't dare to neglect when he heard Ding Daquan's question. Hong Wenhao knew very well that the young old man in front of him was very valued by his young powerful man. He had only been promoted from the fourth-rank Ezhou prefect to the third-rank Jingjiang prefect, but the thin old man in front of him seemed to have jumped directly from the sixth-rank Dali Temple Sizhi to the third-rank Guangzhou prefect. There was a seventh-rank jump in between. It was obvious which of the two in the hearts of the young powerful man.

"Mr. Ding, now he plays the role of the Mongolian Sect King, while Yifu is temporarily the commander of Jinghu. This thing was made by the adults. The small flags and horses represent the various troops from my Song Dynasty and Mongolia, which seems to be called sand table deduction. The adults and Yifu have confronted each other several times."

Ding Daquan dared to call him brother Hong Wenhao, but Hong Wenhao did not dare to call himself younger brother. He explained the whole story in just a few words.

"It seems that sir, I deliberately used Shi Tianze and Luoyang, Bianliang as fat to lure me up and eat it. But sir, your hundreds of thousands of troops are far away in Zhending Mansion. How can I have time for my army to go north? Not to mention sir, how can I be sure that I will definitely go north?"

Yu Jie touched his chin and said in thought.

"The court's desire for Luoyang and Bianliang is far beyond your imagination. At this moment, the news that the Jinghe Commander Zhao of the Jinghe Controller spread the news that Tu Xue retreated to Lin'an City. What does Yifu think the court will respond?"

"Sir, is it that the court will order our Ningwu Army to lead our troops north to capture Luoyang and Bianliang? Well, there is this possibility."

"It's not that there is this possibility, and there is definitely this possibility. So let's deduce it in the best way for now. Sun Kui did win a game, and Tuxue did retreat. You rushed north to regain Luoyang and Bianliang, and then how can you defend Luoyang and Bianliang?"

"If Luoyang and Bianliang were recaptured by our Song Dynasty, the emperor would definitely not allow them to fall. Luoyang and Bianliang are nearly a thousand miles away from Xiangyang City. Such a long border, and around Luoyang and Bianliang are like Guide Mansion (now Shangqiu, Henan), Zhengzhou is still occupied by the Mongols, and Luoyang and Bianliang are hundreds of miles apart. Unless our Song Dynasty can recover all these places at the same time, it is impossible to defend Luoyang and Bianliang by just dividing troops."

"You think this way. Do you think the royal families and emperors in the court will think this way? If this is true, how could the incident of Duanling Luo have appeared?"

Jia Sidao said that Duanping Ling Lu, and immediately let Ding Daquan, Hong Wenhao and Yu Jie in the cabin stop talking. Everyone knows what Duanping Ling Lu is, but knows what is going on, it is the same thing. Jia Sidao can say that they will never dare to interrupt in this matter.
