"Mr. Geng has something to do but he says it's okay!"

Xiao Zheng had a frivolous brow, still having a smile on his face, and stretched out a hand to signal him to continue.

"Your Highness, the entire Lingnan waters are vast and boundless. It is not easy to wipe out the pirates in one fell swoop. I wonder what tricks your Highness has?"

After receiving the reply from Xiao Zhengtai, Feng Ang then asked carefully that the 100,000 naval troops of the court were already stationed in the city.

If you compete head-on with the pirates, there is no suspense and you can wipe out those pirates in minutes.

The difficulty lies in the vague position of these pirates. It is not easy to grasp their traces.

"I am about to ask Duke Geng for this question. Lingnan has always been in your hands. I believe that I have a certain understanding of these pirates?"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded slowly. This mission is definitely much more difficult than Dongting Lake to suppress bandits. After all, the range of the sea area is much larger than that of Dongting Lake.

"To be honest, your highness, over the years, pirates from various countries have appeared in the nearby waters, specifically snatching merchant ships, especially pirates from Japan, who frequently commit crimes here, and their methods are extremely cruel."

After Feng Ang said this, his face looked very ugly, and his wide palms were tightly clenched his fists.

"Since you already know who is committing the crime here, have you never thought of a solution? Or have you let them commit the crime here?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo put down what was in his hand and looked at Feng Ang with a bad expression.

"General, it's not that the officials have not thought of a way to solve the problem, but these guys are too cunning.

When Japanese people commit crimes, they often dress up as Tang Dynasty merchants. Because they look similar, it is difficult to find their true identities without opening their mouths.

Secondly, these pirates' ships are much faster than ours. Sometimes, they clearly see the pirates ahead, but because of their speed, the officials are helpless."

Feng Ang smiled bitterly, and wiped out the pirates and gave peace to the Lingnan Sea. He had long thought about such a thing. It was impossible for him to become a reality with his own efforts.

"Your Highness, the officials said these words not to evade responsibility, but there is really no way. The officials in this sea area can be said to be familiar with them as a whole.

But Xiaguan knew very little about it in front of the pirates. At least in the pursuit, Xiaguan's ship hit the reef more than once or twice.

Not only did they fail to successfully wipe out the pirates, but they instead damaged many elites from the Tang Dynasty, which made the officials very ashamed!”

Speaking of this, Feng Ann lowered his head, looking very upset.

After hearing his words, Xiao Zhengtai nodded slightly. This was at least similar to what he had speculated. These pirates were all people from some small countries around him committing the crime.

While he led his troops to the war, Li Er had already sent a special envoy to the surrounding small countries to warn him, but Xiao Zhengtai did not think it would be of any effect.

These guys are all desperate people. They have been away from their country for many years and have been floating in this sea area, living carefree.

The Tang Dynasty is so powerful now that they still have no restraint. It is conceivable that the neighboring countries have deterred their power to them.

"Your Highness, the situation here seems quite tricky!"

Qin Huaiyu kept guessing every word Feng Ang said in his heart, and he also knew what these difficulties meant.

"Isn't this nonsense? If it is simple, wouldn't this prince just send you two over here and solve it?"

Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes. Suppressing bandits is no better than siege. The enemy will never fight head-on with you. Any fish that misses the net is a huge threat to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, what did you think of? My mind is not flexible. Your Highness, just give me instructions! I will do whatever you say!"

Cheng Chumo slapped his chest again, and knew that his wisdom could not be obtained from the table, so he simply thought about nothing and applied for the right to do it directly.

"The battle at sea is not as good as land warfare. The task of destroying pirates this time depends on Duke Geng and those experienced elites."

Xiao Zhengtai shook his head slowly and said modestly that the current situation is still unclear, and he will never show his strength too early.

"The old minister will definitely cooperate with Your Highness's actions and will never hide it at all."

Feng Ang hurriedly bowed his hand and did not take everything into consideration.

"Since that's the case, Brother Chumo, please inform us and let everyone have a good rest and check the ships going to sea tomorrow."

Xiao Zhengtai issued an order directly. They came here on foot this time. If they wanted to go to sea, the boat could only be rebuilt from Gaozhou or by doing it themselves.

For this mission, Xiao Zhengta also paid special attention to the recent weather. Although it cannot be said to be sunny, there will definitely be no bad weather. With such a climate, going to sea is the most suitable.

According to his thoughts, if you disguise yourself a little and go to places where pirates frequently appear, you will eventually meet with the pirates.

Early the next morning.

Xiao Zhengtai brought Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu to appear in the hall. The overnight rest allowed them to recover most of their physical strength.

What they didn't expect was that when they arrived, Feng Ann and his two sons had already been waiting there.

"The emperor pays homage to Your Highness. I wonder if your highness is satisfied with the rest last night?"

Seeing the Empress Dowager Xiaozheng, Feng Ang hurriedly stepped forward and gave a respectful salute.

After parting with Xiao Zhengtai last night, he deliberately went to the military camp to express his condolences to the soldiers who came this time.

It made him feel scared. He had seen the army of the Tang Dynasty before, but this was the first time he had encountered such a army with strict chances.

With this alone, he could also see that Xiao Zhengtai was extraordinary.

"It is natural that there is nothing to say about everything with the care of Duke Geng."

Xiao Zhengtai smiled, obviously very satisfied with the rest environment last night.

"These are all things that the nobles should do. His Highness serves the country and the people, and he has worked hard for him. He has come here with great difficulties. He can only do his best to provide His Highness with a comfortable environment."

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Feng Ann waved his hand in a panic, while smiling while signaling his two sons to bring breakfast soon.

"It seems that this prince came, but Duke Geng had spent money."

Looking at the exquisite dishes, Xiao Zheng made a joke. This guy is rich, Xiao Zheng knew it very well. The only difference is that Feng Ann does not have the ambitions like Wu Changxu.

Otherwise, after Xiao Zhengtai came here, the first thing he would study was to punish corrupt officials.

After eating with satisfaction, Xiao Zhengtai asked: "Duke Geng, if there is nothing else, I hope you can take the prince to see the warships going to sea."

The warship is related to his life. If he hadn't checked it personally, he would have no clue in his heart.

Destiny must be firmly in your own hands, and you must never pray for a miracle to happen.
