Chapter 610

Zheng Huchen sat down at the beginning of the little emperor, but he only dared to go half of his butt to the stool. The little emperor seemed to have not seen him, and still buried his head in the official document without saying a word to himself. This made him even more uncomfortable. He was not even as good as kneeling on the ground just now, holding his hands on his knees and rubbing his clothes uneasily. He thought to himself, why can't the person who rescued him?

"Master Zheng, please use tea!"

"Oh, Miss Xie!" Just as Zheng Huchen felt uncomfortable, he found that the little girl who had just pleaded for him had brought tea, so he hurriedly took it over and thanked him. The little girl just smiled and squatted down and gave a blessing gift, then retreated to His Majesty, and reclassified the reviewed official documents, which surprised him very much.

Zheng Huchen knew that the young emperor always attached great importance to confidentiality work. The official documents submitted by him were not touched by others except Wang De and the two selected small yellow sects. As far as he knew, the two small yellow sects were still illiterate. But he knew that the little girl had confiscated the rebellious family members and servants and selected them to the palace after conquering Quanzhou. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, not only won the trust of the young emperor, but seemed to have something else in it.

"Is it your Majesty... maybe it's just a little attached to her!" Zheng Huchen thought of this and glanced at the little emperor. He also grabbed the peeled nuts from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth while reviewing the official documents. He sat on the chair and his feet were not on the ground. No matter how hard he looked, he was still a child. Therefore, he quickly denied the sudden idea and muttered to himself.

"I've made you so angry. How did you do that?"

"Your Majesty, after full investigation, I'm already a little surprised!" Just as the little emperor was thinking about whether he had already begun to be interested in women, the little emperor suddenly asked a question. He looked up and saw that he had reviewed the last document and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Hmph, I dare to say that I have all my strength, why have you done it long ago?" Zhao Bing snorted coldly and said in dissatisfaction.

"It's because my subordinates are not supervising!" Zheng Huchen quickly politely and admitted his mistake. When he stood up again, he habitually looked around, and found that the little girl had quietly retreated and gently brought the door with her. He sighed inwardly that this little girl is really sensible, wise, and knows how to advance and retreat. No wonder His Majesty likes it.

"Don't say anything wrong with the car, it's useful!" Zhao Bing said impatiently, knocking on the case lightly for a few minutes.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have found out that this time, the Yuan army of Jinghu went south with the commander of King Huantuo of Zhennan. The left prime minister of Jinghu Province Ali Hague was the capital marshal, and the commander of the Jinghu Province Xuanwei Envoy Auruchi was the deputy commander. The former rebel general Chen Yi was the navy of the 10,000 navy. According to his subordinates' analysis, as His Majesty expected, the enemy wanted to advance in two groups, one of them was the main force to attack Qiong, and the other was the main force to attack Chameng with the troops of Fuzhou Province and Guangdong Province!" Zheng Huchen reported.

"Well, this is proof of the result of the prisoner trial." Zhao Bing nodded, "But I'm puzzled. No matter how stupid your affairs bureau is, you won't be able to see so many warships in the coastal ports, but why didn't there be any report that found an abnormality!"

"This... Your Majesty, you really can't blame me for all!" Zheng Huchen hesitated for a moment and still felt that he needed to explain to His Majesty that he would take the blame, and he could not let so many spies from his subordinates take the blame.

"Haha, are you angry that I scolded you wrong?" Zhao Bing looked at the cramped Zheng Huchen and smiled.

"I don't dare!" Zheng Huchen hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Do you dare to say it out? I want to hear what tricks they used!" Zhao Bing pressed his hands and asked him to sit down.

"After receiving His Majesty's order, Fei Ge immediately sent a letter to various stations on the other side, asking them to search in various ports and waterways according to His Majesty's analysis, especially some towns with abnormal meat and vegetables consumption!" Zheng Huchen replied, "After searching overnight and the information transmitted by the spies who infiltrated the enemy's general's mansion, combined with the two analysis, as His Majesty thought, the enemy troops used disguised as merchant ships, and small teams passed through the straits in multiple batches. At this time, some merchant ships would use the gaps where the trade winds had not arrived to go to various coastal areas to purchase grain and local products, and secretly promote the goods they carried to evade tariffs. Therefore, although the spies found that the number of merchant ships increased compared with previous years, they did not attract too much attention."

"Well, this reason is justified, but I am still curious that so many warships cannot be scattered all over the place, but how can they be hidden?" Zhao Bing nodded, as if he recognized this reason.

He knew that smuggling has never been banned from thousands of years since ancient times. In order to evade tariffs, some merchant ships from foreign vassals often do not dock in designated trading ports, but choose to dock in small ports or fishing ports near the sea, and even conduct smuggling transactions on the sea. This year, Quanzhou was a mess, and the coastal naval army was suppressed by the Qiongzhou navy and did not dare to go out to sea for inspection. Therefore, there are no fewer smugglers who exploit this loophole. This year, Qiongzhou has attracted many merchant ships to trade due to low tariffs and even tax exemptions, so it seems normal for merchant ships to trade more than in previous years.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is very cunning. They have restored some old ports that were abandoned in the past. The outer surface is kept in its original appearance, but the inside is tightly guarded. Not only did they build water camps, but a large number of stone throwers were also arranged on land and on important sites to prevent our army from attacking. In addition, there are camouflaged fishing boats cruising outside the port for alert!" Zheng Huchen pointed to the spread map and replied, "In addition, a large number of enemy ships in the enemy's army sailed into the river channel and hid in the river bank, and sent troops to block the upstream, and all ships were strictly prohibited from passing."

"The ports of Eggzhou Bay, Luzhou Bay, and Xuwen Port have been swept and destroyed by our army and have long been ruined. Not only do you think that the enemy will hide the warships there, but the wardrobes also rarely go to investigate. This mistake can be forgiven. However, the spies from the Bureau of Affairs are no more sensitive than others. They are my eyes, noses, and ears. They should be more sensitive and alert. Even if there are minor changes, they cannot be spared!" Zhao Bing looked at the map. The selected places were either remote or sandbanks, and if they were blocked by sandbanks on the outside, it would be difficult to find the changes in them without going deeper. Especially when hiding the warships in the river, it is not only difficult to replenish supplies, but also to live on the water all day long. The hardships can be imagined, so it is even more unimaginable.

"What Your Majesty taught me is that I will keep it in mind and live up to expectations!" Zheng Huchen stood up again and said.

"I don't want these false words. What I want is the truth and the truth!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked, "How many warships are there in front of him and how powerful are there? Have you ever found out?"

"Your Majesty, since you just started, you only found out the rough situation. The details must be reported later." Zheng Huchen replied, "The enemy troops in front of you are mainly composed of Jinghu Navy transferred to the south and the soldiers stationed in Guangnan. Ali Hague recruited 20,000 She national army and 10,000 soldiers from various Tongli in the name of conquering Champa. The troops should be around 100,000, and about 1,000 warships of all sizes."

"The army stationed in Guangzhou to conquer Chameng is known as 500,000 and 2,000 warships. However, the subordinates have found that there should be 60,000 troops and 600 warships of all sizes. Suodu and Liu Shen divided the two armies of water and foot. But there is something strange that makes people unable to understand..."

"Oh, what are the troubles of those two? Tell me!" Zhao Bing asked after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, Ali Hague is silenced to mobilize troops in secret, but Suodu is making great efforts to fear that people will not know that they are going to conquer Champa. The navy of warships is stationed in Guangzhou Bay, like a demonstration. Even if it means not to fear Champa, it is contrary to the law of war!" Zheng Huchen expressed his suspicion.

"It's indeed abnormal, but what are they going to do..." Zhao Bing touched his chin and couldn't understand their intention for a while.

"Your Majesty, you should come to see you!" Wang De came in and reported. He saw that Zheng Huchen was already sitting there and knew that nothing was wrong. He smiled and nodded slightly at him.

"Oh, I'm trying to discuss with the teacher, please give me a question!" Zhao Bing smiled. There are too many mysteries in his mind these days, and he needs to discuss with someone who understands it and invite him repeatedly.

He didn't have much skill, Ying Jieyan entered the hall. He first greeted His Majesty and then asked about the war. Zhao Bing talked about the story in detail, and then talked about the current measures taken and the results of discussion with the generals. Zheng Huchen also recounted the latest information he had obtained, so that Ying Jieyan understood the current situation and the difficulties he was facing. He hoped that the old man could give an answer.

"Your Majesty is worried that Guangzhou will capture the city and the troops will turn to Qiongzhou. In this way, our dynasty will face great pressure, right?" Ying Jieyan pondered for a moment after hearing this.

"What the sir said is exactly, I am worried that at this time, when we are both enemies, even if we win, our troops will be greatly damaged. It will be very difficult to rebuild the official army with the people in Qiongzhou, and the restoration of the country will be nowhere to be achieved." The old man's words hit his mind, and Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, from the simplest view of me, they are trying to disturb the waters of the pond. This will make us unable to distinguish their goals and the primary and secondary, so that we can take advantage of the situation and win in chaos!" Ying Jieyan analyzed the current situation.

"Must the water?!" Zhao Bing looked at Zheng Huchen, and he also looked confused and frowned and asked.

"Yes, only by muddling the water can they achieve the goal of capturing Qiongzhou and successfully conquering Champa." Ying Jie Yan Yan said.

"The governor thought Your Majesty's judgment was correct?" Zheng Huchen said with a straight face.

"Your Majesty's initial analysis was good, but the successive events made Your Majesty doubt his judgment. When things were about to come, they were hesitant!" Ying Jieyan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Mr. I'm really impressed by the words. Now my mind is a mess and I have lost my judgment on the situation. I don't know what to do!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty is not confused, but care will be in chaos. Now Qiongzhou is facing the biggest crisis since Your Majesty ascended the throne. If you lose, you will be forced to evacuate, and restoring the country will become a luxury. It is precisely because Your Majesty has been under tremendous pressure that you will inevitably worry about gains and losses when making decisions!" Ying Jieyan turned to the little emperor and said.

"Haha, my words made me suddenly understand. But why did sir decide that he was only able to attack Qiong all the way?" Zhao Bing still hoped that his judgment could be confirmed from Ying Jieyan, and asked with a smile. However, he understood that the old man was very correct. His psychological quality was not a little worse than those tried old bureaucrats. He was even worse than that of Mount Tai that collapsed before his face. Now, let alone Mount Tai, even if Mount Qiong Tai collapsed, he had to jump into the sea.

"Your Majesty, start with Suodu. They mobilized their troops and recruited soldiers in the name of expeditioning Cham City. In my opinion, they had two purposes for bluffing: one was to cover the Jinghu Navy's South Transfer, so that a large number of warships in Guangzhou would not arouse our suspicion, and then disguised as merchant ships and left the port quietly, which was also impossible to see the flaws; the other was that they were very afraid of His Majesty, so they repeatedly claimed that they were going to conquer Cham City to avoid being intercepted by us." Ying Jieyan said with a deep thought.

"Afraid of me?! Why are they afraid of me?" Zhao Bing frowned and said in confusion.

"Your Majesty!" Ying Jieyan sighed and smiled helplessly, "Liu Shen was beaten by His Majesty in Qizhouyang and ran away with serious injuries. Not only was he severely scolded by Kublai Khan, but he also kept at home for more than half a year before he recovered. How could he not be afraid of you? Besides, the soudu was just fooled by His Majesty, and he robbed Quanzhou under his nose. His son was also captured. He was besieged for more than a month but still failed to regain the city. His reputation was destroyed by His Majesty's hand. It can be said that he hated and feared His Majesty!"

"Even so, they can choose to pass through the sea outside Qiongzhou quietly without having to fight with us!" Zhao Bing turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty asked," Ying Jieyan nodded, "In fact, Your Majesty has long seen through the enemy's plan. Ali Hague wanted to launch the battle to attack Qiong when the fleet of Champa, led by Sodu, passed. Liu Shen knew very well the combat power of our Qiongzhou navy. Of course, he was unwilling to make a false come true, and he risked being attacked by us to create opportunities for Ali Hague!"

"Mr. I mean that there is a conflict between them, so I can tell us through this method in order to protect myself. But if they reveal the truth, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?" Zhao Bing understood a little after hearing the explanation. Suodu and Liu Shen didn't want to be 'suckers', so he took the initiative to expose his intentions and allowed himself to pass through the sea outside Qiongzhou, but sold Ali Hague. Even though he got a clear answer from Ying Jieyan, he still didn't dare to be careless because he really couldn't afford to lose.

"Your Majesty is still uneasy, so you can only mix the water even more!" Zheng Huchen interrupted at this time.
