"This, this, has solved the urgent problem." Wang Tongdeng stood up and said with his waist, "There are all military rations in the counterattack river."

He was dumbfounded for a while, and was full of passion, so much that Zhao Xingde was happy.

"Is there so much? Not much." He shrugged and explained, "Nearly half of the grain and other military supplies were shipped on Longzhu Island. The logistics department built a warehouse city there and stocked up a lot of military supplies." Zhao Xingde's tone was a little slow. The soldiers of Longzhu Island were only one battalion, and there was no large area nearby. The logistics department actually stocked up enough military supplies for more than 100,000 troops for three months. It was really puzzling." He shook his head and said, "There are some of them that we bought along the way, mainly dried potatoes and rice, and many dried meats from birds and animals, seafood pickled fish, etc. You people in the river eat less, so you may have to get used to it for a while." He half-jokingly said, "If you can tolerate these, the navy can continue to raise food and grass in the West Sea countries, sailing back and forth in the sea, and supplying them in one or two months."

"What else is more unpalatable than marching cakes? We are almost eating crawlers, roasted horse meat, and leaping rats. There is nothing we don't want to get used to. Now," he stood up, clapped his palms, and said, "Lucky, come with me for a trip to the Basra. Xu Chuhu wants to know that you have sent so much food and grass, but you don't know how happy you are. The military food is not enough for twenty days now. If you don't come again, we might have to attack Luo and get the food and grass." The two of them were old robes that were born and died. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, they didn't get along. Wang Tongdeng said, and reached out to pull Zhao Xingde and stood up and walked out.

Zhao Xingde also stood up, but he declined politely: "The navy rule is that the governor is not allowed to leave the ship when he goes to war. Please forgive me for this."

"What? Do you want General Zhang to come to see you?" Wang Tongdeng was stunned and then said relieved: "You General Xiao Liu's temper has not changed." After he said that, he opened the door and was about to leave, but he was stunned and retreated and said, "What's going on?" Zhao Xingde went out to look at him, and he was stunned. He saw that the deck downstairs was filled with sailors. I have to say that Wang Tongdeng's battle in Yeqi Da Food Camp was extremely beautiful. The musket camp was nothing but,

The words of the sailors of Song State who had not witnessed the battle became more and more amazing. When the cavalry attacked at night, many sailors were under the deck. Now they had the opportunity to come and see the flying general who defeated thousands of cavalry overnight. So many people stood on the deck tower and looked up. At first glance, Wang Tongdeng almost thought that he had left the camp and changed. After a closer look, countless "weird" gazes fell on his body, which made people feel bumps all over his body.

"Nothing," Zhao Xingde looked at it, and he didn't feel funny, and said angrily, "They are all here to compete to see your General Wang's power, just bow down along the way."

"So that's it," Wang Tongdeng then came back to his senses, and felt proud, but said in his mouth, "Old Zhao, your camp is still so simple."

Zhao Xingde had no choice but to smile bitterly, took Wang Tong out, and finally passed through the wall of onlookers.

Just because of these 500,000 s of military rations, let alone let General Zhang come to see you, even if the two generals come together, what's wrong?" Wang Tongdeng said half-jokingly when he left.

Zhang Shanfu and Xu Wenhu, one is the first person in the general's mansion, and the other is a veteran general who has been in charge of the river for more than ten years. Although Zhao Xingde and they are both generals, their qualifications in the Xia army are very different. The two armies are hundreds of miles apart. If it were not for the rules of the navy, it would be normal for Zhao Xingde to visit these two. Just when the Xia court was in chaos, as a general, he was a general and would interpret different meanings in the eyes of those who were interested. However, he believed that military rules were as iron as iron. The so-called "thousand-mile dikes were destroyed by an ant hole. There are thousands of reasons to break a rule, but there are only four words to persist, and military rules were as iron as iron. Of course, he also believed that Zhang Shanfu and Xu Wenhu were not narrow-minded.

Since he knew that the Xia army was stationed in Basra and the army had nothing to do, Zhao Xingde felt relieved and ordered Xu Xiaoyun and others to prepare for the handover of the goods on the ship.

The next day at dawn, Wang Tongdeng led the cavalry to take the prisoners away. Not long after the Xia army occupied Basra, the leaders of the nearby Dashi tribe were very cunning. They surrendered and rebelled between the Xia Kingdom and the Roma Turks. The tribal cavalry was also unstable, and it was very troublesome to wipe out. This time, Wang Tongdeng used the navy as bait to seize a large number of prisoners as hostages, and he had more chips to deal with the nearby tribes, and could also squeeze out some oil and water. In addition to the few prisoners a few days ago, Zhao Xingde also asked Wang Tongdeng to take away a military newspaper to Zhang Shanfu, two gifts to Zhang Xu, and a batch of pickled dried meat fish.

After a whole day, there was no big-food cavalry on the shore, which made the musketeers marching along the coast much easier.

Du Chujiao brought the musket camp into the village to collect food and grass. When he was exploring the news, he could not even see an adult man. The eyes of women and children were full of fear. It can be seen that this battle had a great shock to the Dashi tribe.

When the boat in the building was dug to see the spire in Basra City, several officers of the logistics department were waiting on the shore. These officers told Du Chujiao that the Basra port channel was closed due to shipwrecks. This was the nearest port to Basra where many sea ships could be parked. The navy was the result of the logistics department working to dredge and clearing the berths for several days. General Zhang Shanfu, the marching department, had arrived at Basra last night. After receiving the report, he would soon come to meet Zhao Xingde in person. Almost a moment later, another team of Tiger Wings cavalry came and informed Zhang Shanfu was about to arrive. Zhao Xingde had just passed the order to lower the anchor, and fifty tiger Wings cavalry escorted Zhang Shanfu to the dock.

"General Zhao," Zhang Shanfu personally went up the gangway. When he saw Zhao Xingde, he smiled and said, "You are here at the right time." There was no sign of anxiety on his face.

"Your navy is coming at the right time," he stood on the deck, looking around the naval officers, and said with great momentum, "It can be called the mainstay, and we will turn the tide in the future, and rely more on you."

Although most of the navy members were from Kanto, they couldn't help but be excited when they heard this. Some people's faces showed a look of honor.

"This General Zhang is from a ranks and is not just a reckless warrior." Ma Yuan whispered, "You can see through the leopard."

Xu Xiaoyun nodded with a thoughtful look on his face. After advising Zhao Xingde, the relationship between the two became closer, and they often discussed the general trend of the world with heart-to-heart.

Although most of the soldiers in the Xia Kingdom were brave men, it is said that most of the ministers in the court were generals and prime ministers, and both civil and military. Zhao Xingde, who was born in Guandong, needs to be mentioned. Today, when they saw the demeanor of the first person in the general's mansion, the two knew that this was not false. However, the more this happened, Xu Xiaoyun was worried. He watched Zhao Xingde accompany Zhang Shanfu into the White Tiger Hall and whispered: "Liu Yuan of the Jin Dynasty was familiar with the classics and history, but he was the beginning of the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. I heard that Yelu Dashi was also familiar with classics. His goodness was enough to help evil. They had such a person who entered the court.

, It may not be a blessing for my Kanto country." Ma Yuan sighed and nodded slightly. At this time, the gate of the White Tiger Festival Hall had been closed, and the navy officer and the staff officer brought by Zhang Shanfu were waiting outside. Zhang Shanfu had informed him in advance that he would first discuss military operations with Zhao Xingde. Therefore, at this time, only Zhao Xingde and Zhang Shanfu in the White Tiger Hall. After the secret talks, the other officers entered the White Tiger Hall together to discuss. Zhao Xingde was originally the general of the Xia Kingdom, so there was no need to avoid secret talks with Zhang Shanfu. This arrangement fell into the eyes of those who were interested and caused some speculation.

"This is all General Zhang," Zhao Xingde looked at Zhang Shanfu and smiled, "What is the point of planning?"

"I dare not take it," Zhang Shanfu shook his head. He looked at Zhao Xingde's expression as if he didn't know him. He made sure that he was not indifferent. He nodded again, raised the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly, "The rioters have been planning for a long time, although it has not been obvious, but clues have been noticed by Your Majesty, Liu Xiang, and Zhang. However, he did not expect that they would launch such an urgent task and would not hesitate to bet on the fate of the country, which has caused Your Majesty to almost lose to Kang Guo. Speaking of which, this is all mine.

Responsibility. However, although the rebellion is in great momentum, it is about to be exhausted. With your knowledge, it is probably not difficult to see." He looked at Zhao Xingde, nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and said, "General Zhao, you have been in office for two dynasties and have experienced many ups and downs. Among the talents of the next generation of Guandong and Guanxi, you can be said to be unparalleled. Your Highness, Liu Yicheng, is quite recognized by you. Now it is the age of promising. As the saying goes, the times create heroes. You must seize this opportunity."

Zhang Shanfu put down the teacup, leaned back behind, and leaned back in a comfortable position to lean on the back of the chair. He looked out the window and didn't look at Zhao Xingde, as if he was enjoying the scenery on the river bank opposite the porthole.

On the river bank, musketeers were camping. Unlike sailors who only occasionally went ashore, musketeers like to stay on the shore whenever they had the chance. Most of these musketeers were from Kanto, from countries thousands of miles away. They took a sea boat to the place where the country had only been expanded after a hundred years of expansion. Most of them could not ride horses or even dance swords. This made them rely on the firearms in their hands hundreds of times more than the Xia people and regarded them as a dependence on life. In turn, firearms exerted unprecedented stability in the hands of these people. They were the sharp swords in Zhao Xingde's hands, and they were the biggest reliance behind him.
