With the increase in conflicts and confrontations between the two armies, the sky above Qiongzhou was already covered with clouds. After December, the emperor issued a series of decrees, ordering residents along the strait to move 30 miles to the island. The Queen Mother and the Secretariat, the Secretariat and the families of officials who were not involved in the war moved to Yazhou, and the right prime minister Wen Tianxiang and the chief political affairs Liu Fu were accompanied by the escort. On the four days, the young emperor led officials left behind in Qiongzhou to send the Queen Mother on board the ship at the dock outside the city, and immediately announced that the various prefectures and counties in Qiongzhou would impose curfews, and traveled to and stayed at the post station or port on the spot, and were not allowed to leave without leaving.

At the same time, Zhao Bing ordered the imperial guards in front of the palace to move to Jiyang Army and Wan'anzhou to strengthen the defense in the east of the island and act as a reserve force in the direction of Haikoupu; the left army and the front army stationed in Changhua and Chengmai coastal fortresses, and together with the central army and the rear army to defend the northwest direction of Qiongzhou; mobilized the right army to enter the Fucheng, responsible for blocking the Nandu River and blocking the enemy's upstream along the river, and at the same time, coordinating the front guards to be responsible for the city defense of the Fucheng.

In addition, the Chengmai Navy was ordered to move to the sea outside Changhua, leaving only a small team mainly composed of rocket ships and crossbows in the battalion to support the defense infantry operations, and the empty water camps still had flags everywhere, which made people look like the illusion that the navy had not left; the Haikou Navy moved to the water camp of the Chaofeng Army and retained a mobile fleet to cruise at sea; ordered the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to allocate weapons, money and grain to enrich the Qiongzhou Prefecture Treasury; the baggage army and township tyrants under the Ministry of War were prepared to transport supplies and support the front line.

Since the imperial edict was issued, the idle people in the city had completed the evacuation in two days. In addition to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, the candles are not turned off day and night, and praying for blessings are constantly heard. In addition to the yamen in various places, all the left-behind officials and yamen runners received orders to be on duty day and night, and eat and stay in the yamen. Of course, the busiest thing is the palace city, even at night, the lights are brightly lit, and people entering and leaving the palace are constantly coming and going.

"Your Majesty, let's have a rest!" Wang De entered the inner hall and found the little emperor tilted on the couch, holding chopsticks in his hand and fell asleep. He called His Majesty twice but did not move. He saw that more than half of the food was left on the table, but the official documents in the newspapers of each army and the ministries had been processed and arranged neatly in different categories, waiting to be sent to the Secretariat, the Military Affairs Office and the Privy Council.

"Removing these, warming them on the fire, and then letting the kitchen prepare some snacks!" Wang De ordered the little yellow gatekeeper who was accompanying him to remove the shorter ones on the couch and said.

"Su Xin, how did you take care of it? Just let the official sleep like this. If you are sick, you can take responsibility?" Wang De laid the little emperor flat, covered him with a quilt, and turned his face to scold Su Xin who was taking the turn.

"Master, the official family stays up until very late every day. I am very sleepy and then I take a nap." Su Xin replied aggrievedly.

"Do you know that the official family is related to the survival of Qiongzhou. If you are sick at this moment, you will never be able to redeem it!" Wang De, however, had no mercy on the fragrance and jade, and scared her with a stern face.

"Master, I never dared to argue again!" Su Xin said with her head down.

"We have worked harder these days, serve Your Majesty well, and everything will be fine after we defeat the Tartars!" Wang De also slowed down and said. Of course, he knew that it was not only them who were busy, but the people in the entire palace were also surrounding Your Majesty, and of course the hardest one was His Majesty.

"Master, Su Xin will be on the night tonight, and you will also have a night off. The days are still long, otherwise everyone will be exhausted." Su Lan took the conversation and said.

"Sister Su, you stayed at the official family for a night last night. How could you withstand it?" Su Xin shook her hand and said.

"I'm fine. I took a nap when His Majesty was asleep." Su Lan said humbly.

"Well, Miss Su will be on the night tonight. I feel at ease with her work. Apart from the ones who take turns, I will stop!" Wang De thought about it. He knew that once the war ahead was urgent, His Majesty would definitely come in person, and everyone would not have to stop at that time.

Everyone dispersed. Su Lan went in to see His Majesty sleeping well, tucked his quilt. He tiptoed to clean the house, tidied up his pens and inkstones, laid out the paper, replaced the candles on the lampstand, put the scattered books back in place, added new charcoal to the tea stove, and then moved an embroidery punch at the foot of His Majesty. She looked at the sleeping little emperor lovingly. If it weren't for being by his side every day, it would be hard to believe that this child was alone in the crisis and worked day and night to revive the Song Dynasty. As the situation became more and more tense, he had a rare rest. He never left his official documents when eating, he was restless in sleep, and he was not at ease when he was sleeping, and he was always silent in his sleep.

"Master Zheng!" Suddenly hearing questions outside the door, Su Lan hurriedly greeted him so that no one would disturb His Majesty. He saw that it was Zheng Huchen who stepped forward to salute.

"Miss Su, can Your Majesty be here?" Zheng Huchen was very polite since Su Lan pleaded for her the previous time, and asked with a bow.

"Master Zheng, Your Majesty has just fallen asleep. If there is no urgent matter, just wait in the outer hall!" Su Lan said politely.

"Miss Su, this matter is indeed an urgent matter, otherwise I would not have come to the palace to meet you at this moment. Please report it to me!" Zheng Huchen hesitated and said.

"Oh, please wait for a moment and use a cup of tea first." Su Lan sighed inwardly and asked the little yellow gate on duty to serve Zheng Huchen. Of course, she knew the rules of the little emperor. She always reported to the officials whenever she had urgent matters. Moreover, the current war was urgent, and if she did not report it, she would lose her temper.

"Okay, I'm upsetting my girl!" Zheng Huchen said politely.

Zheng Huchen had just received two urgent reports from the news. He knew that His Majesty was still worried about when the enemy would launch an attack and how the enemy would implement it. After seeing it, he hurried into the palace to report. But His Majesty fell asleep again. He knew it was inappropriate, but if His Majesty knew that he had delayed, he would be uneasy. Fortunately, the time was not long and he had not finished a cup of tea, so he could pass it in.

"Your Majesty, there is the latest information to be sent back!" After the ceremony, Zheng Huchen said bluntly.

"Tell me quickly!" Zhao Bing was sleeping in a daze, but after being called, he just washed it briefly. He rubbed his eyes and said.

"Your Majesty, according to the information from Leizhou, Chen Yi, an enemy naval army, suggested to Ali Hague to launch an attack on our Qiongzhou from the seventh to the twelveth of this month, and to take advantage of the rising tide to rush to the beach. Ali Hague and Auluchi have agreed and are arguing with Guangzhou to cooperate with the action." Zheng Huchen reported.

"Well, it is a foregone conclusion that Leizhou has used troops all the way to us. Did they cooperate and let the Suo transfer our navy and take advantage of the situation?" This result was not surprising to Zhao Bing, but this information determined the approximate time of the enemy's attack, which should be said to be very valuable.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zheng Huchen replied, "But another piece of information from Guangzhou is very interesting. It not only confirms His Majesty's guess, but also shows that there is a deep conflict between them."

"Haha, this is interesting, you can talk about it!" Zhao Bing became interested and said, "When he heard this, he moved his butt.

"Ali Hague sent an envoy to contact and discuss coordination matters, and asked Guangzhou to send troops first to mobilize our Haikou naval army. This aroused Liu Shen's dissatisfaction, believing that Ali Hague was taking great risks for this, so he was willing to cooperate and persuaded Suodu. However, Chen Yi was greedy for life and feared death. In order to prevent being regarded as a scapegoat, he insisted that without Guangzhou's cooperation, he could not guarantee that he could break through the interception of the Haikou naval army and sent the landing fleet to the beach." Zheng Huchen said.

"They have their own thoughts, and they are worried that they will suffer losses and want the other party to take the thunder. But it seems that they are very afraid of us, which is true. Then they say, how do they play tricks on their minds?" Zhao Bing smiled and said in his heart. However, he felt in his heart that his psychological quality was still too poor, so he became suspicious and hesitant about his judgment at critical moments. If he had not calmed down, he might have made a misjudgment.

"According to news from people around Chen Yi, he wanted to delay his departure time. When the Guangzhou army reached Qizhouyang and fought with our interceptor fleet and entered a stalemate, they would start the landing battle again; while Liu Shen was even more cruel. He wanted to wait until the Leizhou army launched the landing battle and when our navy returned to aid, he would sneak past Qizhouyang and quickly go to Chameng City." Zheng Huchen said.

"This battle is hard to fight. He is waiting for him, and he is waiting for him again. None of the two sides is moving forward. What should we do?" Zhao Bing spread his hands and smiled bitterly after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, the army is waiting for the battle all day long, but the enemy is not slow. Over time, it will not only slack off, but also extremely tired, affecting morale, and it is very unfavorable to our army!" Zheng Huchen also led troops to fight. Of course, he knew that the bowstrings always collapsed tightly, and over time, it would be too relaxed, so he was quite worried.

"Yes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. It is not a big deal to guard against thieves every day. They hesitate and dare not come. We have to think of a way to attack with confidence." Zhao Bing touched his chin and thought he nodded, and asked for a moment of contemplation, "Are there any enemy spies on the island now?"

"Your Majesty, this..." The little emperor's question made Zheng Huchen very embarrassed. He said that it was his dereliction of duty, and how could it be possible if he didn't? He didn't know how to answer for a while, and he couldn't say it out after a long time.

"Haha, I'm so stupid about asking this question. We have a curfew every day and blocked the strait. Even if there is one, it's difficult to convey the message!" Zhao Bing saw Zheng Huchen's helplessness and embarrassment. He quickly realized that his question was meaningless and patted his head and smiled.

"Does Your Majesty want to use counter-espionage to convey false information, so that they can make misjudgments and obey Your Majesty's mobilization!" Zheng Huchen was also a smart man, and immediately reacted and asked tentatively.

"I mean this. Since they are suspicious of each other, we have made up our minds for them. But time is urgent, and it is not easy to succeed!" Zhao Bing said with a frown...

…………

Seeing that the date suitable for landing operations was missing day by day, Ali Hague was anxious to get angry, and his back teeth were swollen. The messenger he sent had sent back the news, saying that Suodu and Liu Shen agreed to cooperate with his landing operations, and decided to set sail to Chameng on the 9th. According to the distance between the two places, it was estimated that they should arrive at the Qizhou Ocean Sea in the morning of the 12th. The mail ships sent for contact could be sent to the return because the weather was not good, so the fleet could only temporarily moor in Leizhou Bay to shelter from the wind. If they could not wait, they could launch an attack first, and there was no need to wait.

Ali Hague received the report and was so angry that his blood pressure increased. Although he did not suffer from cerebral hemorrhage, he had long nose bleeding. The brides came in and the guests were all here, but the chef could not say that he could not come. What should I do if I had a happy event? Without thinking too much, I could guess that the so-called so-called are all being foolish and did not want to act as a "bad", but I wanted to be the pioneer. But Chen Yi refused to accept it. If he insisted, unless he wrote a document to prove that he failed, he would not be responsible for his troops, even if he was killed, he would not be in trouble.

In this way, Ali Hague became a Roujiamo. Now landing troops have gathered in various ports in Leizhou. Such a large military mobilization cannot hide much time. Once the Song army finds out, it will inevitably send troops to harass it. If the time is missed, it will have to wait another month. The 100,000 troops consume a lot of food, drink, defecation and urination. It is very difficult to recruit food and grass locally. It can be said that in order to prepare for this battle, it has been exhausted and fished, and it is really impossible to wait.

"Du Shuai, Chen Wanhu has an emergency military report!" Just as Ali Hague was anxiously covering his cheeks and circling around, a personal soldier came in to report.

"This is called a crow, let him come in!" Although Ali Hague was very dissatisfied with Chen Yi, it was the time to use people. After thinking about it, he still let him come in.

"The master is handsome, I have made an important discovery!" After seeing the ceremony, Chen Yi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it on his hands.

"Where did this come from? Is it reliable?" Ali Hague suddenly stood up and asked after seeing it.

"Du Shuai, this morning, Bei Yi led his army to patrol the corpse and found a drowning Song army soldier on the coast. Bei Yi found a wax ball from him. When he opened it, he found this and came to report to Du Shuai." Chen Yi replied.

"You have personally inspected it, won't there be any fake?" Ali Hague didn't believe that Chen Yi personally led the army to patrol, so he confirmed again.

"Du Shuai, Bei Zhi has seen it myself. The drowning corpse was wearing a Song Shuijun robe. The name on the badge was the same as the waist tag he brought, and it indicated that his identity was a messenger under the Pushui Camp in Haikou. According to the time on the letter, Bei Zhi thought that he should have sailed to Fucheng to deliver the letter after dark. However, because of the trek on the way or the ship capsized, he could not deliver the letter. He drowned after falling into the water, and the body was washed to us by the tide." Chen Yi replied.

"Don't you think there is a fraud? How could a corpse carrying a secret letter float in front of us at this time!" Ali Hague still felt that something was too coincidental and still didn't believe it.

"Du Shuai, Bei Zhi sent people to observe the direction of the current every day. According to the time of rising and falling tide, the corpse will float to our Leizhou direction. Even if someone wants to make a fraud, it is difficult to calculate so accurately. Our soldiers patrol the coast day and night, so it is impossible for them to send the corpse ashore!" Chen Yiyan said.

"So, the Song army has discovered the arrival of the Sodu fleet, and has transferred all the Baisha Navy to the sea to prepare to fight?" Ali Hague said after turning twice.
