Chapter 1033 What Is It For?
Five baskets, a total of more than 200 fish were caught.
"Come again?"
Come again.
The first batch of fish baskets yielded results, and the children became more enthusiastic and focused, joining the army of baiting.
The fish in the stream didn't know the danger, and when they saw them retreating to the shore, they swam over foolishly to eat the flour residue, completely unaware of the lessons of their own kind.
This round of fishing, more than 200 fish were caught. There were even two crabs mixed in, each as big as a child's palm.
One of them didn't know that it was about to die, and it stretched out its big claws to grab the small fish in the basket and put it into its mouth.
He Lingchuan left this small battlefield to other masters and children to take care of, and turned around to hide his merits and fame, and accompanied Master Sun to pick snails in the distance.
These kids were too scary, more than 30 of them yelling together, especially when the decibels were raised, it was really like an earthquake, which could shake him to the point of deafness.
He Lingchuan couldn't help scratching his ears and asked Sun Fuling: "How can you bear it every day?"
Let him play with the children, he would rather lead the troops into Longchuan to suppress the bandits.
Sun Fuling smiled and said: "We each have our own duties."
He Lingchuan chose another shallow beach, squatted down to find a stone nest, and then turned over a big stone when the opportunity arose.
As soon as the stone was lifted, several gray shadows jumped out from the bottom, so fast that people couldn't see clearly.
Unfortunately, Sun Fuling pointed out as fast as the wind, and caught them one by one like a dragonfly skimming the water.
It was three small river shrimps with long shrimp spears in front of their mouths. If the shrimp catchers were not careful, they would be stabbed.
There was even a palm-sized fish, the stream grouper.
He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up: "Master Sun's move is indeed different."
Sun Fuling rolled her eyes at him, went to the bottom of the river to touch a big clam, and threw it into the basket.
"I rarely see you smile recently. Isn't the situation in Yuheng City good?"
"Good. But I can't say that all the threats are gone." He Lingchuan turned over a few more stones. This time, he was unlucky. There were no fish or shrimps hidden underneath. He only touched a few snails. "Three months ago, I chopped off Fu Shanlie's arm, and he said something cruel."
It has been several months since the last few times that Emperor Liujiang descended, and Lu Xun has already set off to the south.
"Are you afraid that he will come back to take revenge?"
"This guy doesn't look like a person who shoots without a purpose. Besides, why did he stay in Longchuan so stubbornly?"
After several months of hard work, except for the Xiqie puppet army, all the Longchuan water bandits have surrendered to Yuheng City. This means that He Lingchuan has almost recovered the entire Longchuan, except for the water fort of the Xiqie puppet army.
The original water bandits in Yuheng City and Longchuan have formed a siege against the Xiqie puppet army led by Fu Shanlie.
"We have found out that the Xiqie puppet army can no longer rely on looting for replenishment, and all supplies are provided by the Jin Yao Kingdom." He Lingchuan seemed to have touched something slippery at the bottom of the water, and suddenly retracted his hand.
Sun Guling was startled by him, but he saw him directly turn over the stone, and a long yellow and black thing whizzed away.
The teacher picked up the thing with two fingers.
The thing twisted on her fingers and looked like a snake.
"Wow, such a fat yellow eel." He Lingchuan laughed, "It's best to roast it."
The yellow eel swung its tail wildly in Sun Fuling's hand, and threw a few mud spots on her face.
"Don't move." He Lingchuan gently wiped it off for her, and then said, "Fu Shanlie had more than a hundred men sneaking out to surrender. He killed seven or eight deserters to establish his prestige, and only then did he stop this trend, but the morale of the puppet army was quite low."
The Xiqie puppet army was trapped in Longchuan. Even though there was a Jin Yaoguo behind them to take care of food and drink, the situation of being surrounded by enemies and not seeing the light still made many water bandits nervous.
What's the point of following Fu Shanlie? Are they waiting to be killed by the Yuheng Army in the future?
When Fu Shanlie patted his butt and left, what would these natives do?
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Xiqie puppet army also plummeted.
Their territory was further compressed, and it was even difficult to go out to plunder. In this case, what was the point of Fu Shanlie's persistence?
Yuheng Army became bigger and stronger, and he had no chance.
He Lingchuan originally hoped to force him to be unable to gain a foothold in Longchuan, and then he could drive out Beijia's forces.
Sun Fuling thought for a moment: "Maybe, he is planning something else?"
"I have received intelligence that Beijia is actually somewhat dissatisfied with him. He thinks that he has been staying in Longchuan for a long time without making any achievements. Therefore, he has called him back several times to stop him from doing nothing here."
Beijia is such a big empire, there are many places to use people. Fu Shanlie is wasting time here, and Beijia does not agree.
Sun Fuling asked curiously: "You know all this?"
He Lingchuan sighed: "We have a new source of information."
Panlong City is far away from Beijia. It was difficult to find out what happened in this big empire in the past, and it was quite passive strategically.
However, after taking over the Longchuan trade route, Panlong City was finally able to communicate with the outside world through the Baisha Port in the south, and the merchants coming and going often brought new news from the outside world. Especially after Lu Xun came to Yuheng City, Lingshan established preliminary contact with Panlong City, and the first step of cooperation was intelligence sharing.
Lingshan's understanding of Beijia and control of the truth of Beijia are beyond the reach of Panlong City.
As an old rival of the gods for thousands of years, Lingshan had long infiltrated the Beijia royal court, so it was not surprising that he had heard some gossip about Fushan Lie.
With the valuable intelligence provided by this new ally, Panlong City can finally make more strategic deductions and considerations.
"So Fushan Lie is probably having a headache now. If he stays in Longchuan by force, he will not only have to face our encirclement and suppression, but I'm afraid Beijia will give him even more pressure."
Sun Fuling tilted her head: "Isn't there a saying: When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the king?"
He Lingchuan said with a smile: "That refers to emergency operations, not doing nothing and staying here."
He explained to Sun Fuling: "We don't feel it in Panlong City, but in fact, Beijia has a strict official system and serious internal strife. A rising star like Fushan Lie should strive to perform well and make fewer mistakes, otherwise his military merits will be worn away quickly. He has been active in Longchuan for a whole year, not only did he fail to take down Yuheng City, but he was also forced into a corner of Longchuan, with almost no place to stand. There must be many people in Lingxu City who complained about him."
After dealing with the Beijia visitor Yu Zecheng, he had a better understanding of the officialdom and ecology of the Northern Demon Kingdom.
It is commonly said that everyone has his own position and job, and everyone has his own reasons.
Fushan Lie was responsible for the Longchuan plan because he volunteered to find a suitable position in Lingxu's action against Panlong City. But after a year, this position has become very embarrassing.
He needs to give an explanation to the people.
"Fushan Lie has other options if he leaves Takigawa, but if he is excluded in the court of Bega, his future will definitely be bad. Therefore, he must have a purpose in staying, at least he must be willing to take this political risk."
