"Your Highness, this is the battle report that just came from Tian'an City."

Liu Xia stood in the pavilion of Jiangling Prefecture Garden. At this moment, the garden was lush and colorful.

There is already a hint of heat in the sea breeze, as if summer is coming.

Liu Xia took a look at the battle report, then put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "It seems that my reputation as Liu Beheading still has some effect."

With that said, he handed the battle report to Zhang Zong again.

Zhang Zong took a look and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his lips.

The battle report stated that the Tianan City County Magistrate led the people of Tianan City to resist the Kunsha Gang pirates' looting. In just an hour, nearby sects, militiamen, and defenders came to reinforce them.

As soon as the Kunsha Gang broke through the city gate, they were driven out of the coast.

In this battle, thousands of pirates were killed, which greatly boosted the morale of coastal pirates fighting against them.[

"Urge them to distribute the reward money for killing pirates in full. In this way, those in the Kunsha Gang are not pirates, but twenty taels of silver each. As long as you are not afraid of them, these pirates are just pirates.

mob."

Liu Xia sneered.

"Your Highness is wise. However, the Kunsha Gang has suffered a defeat this time. I'm afraid they won't let it go."

"I understand in my heart. It's time to fight back."

Liu Xia smiled.

At this time, Huang Pujie and Duan Lingxiao arrived in the backyard jokingly.

After seeing Liu Xia, he hurriedly saluted.

"Your Highness, I heard just now that you successfully resisted the pirates in Tian'an City and the people along the coast clapped their hands and praised you. It is really very satisfying."

Huang Pujie smiled.

"How is the fleet resting?"

Liu Xia asked.

"It's finished. We can set off early tomorrow morning."

Huang Pujie smiled.

"Kunsha's gang is afraid of being alone overseas. This time, we are going to take him directly to his old place and let him have a taste of returning home."

Liu Xia Lengxi said.[

"Your Highness is saying that you are going to attack the Dongsha Islands?"

Huang Pujie asked.

"The sea is vast. If Wang Kunsha knew the news about the destruction of the Dongji Island pirates, he would definitely avoid our navy and cause trouble everywhere on our coastline. We are tired of running around. The coast has always been under high tension.

The gain outweighs the loss. I’ve thought about it. Let’s let the wind out and let them

Knowing the news, I guess that Wang Kunsha will not take our navy lightly. So he will take a desperate risk and come to fight us to the death. Then the matter will be much simpler. Catch them and annihilate them directly. In this way,

Then only Xisha Nanqing is left. Dealing with him will be much easier."

Liu Xia smiled.

"Your Highness is wise."

Huang Pujie complimented.

"Master Huangpu, how confident are you that we will face off against the Kunsha Gang?"

Liu Xia asked.

"Weichen doesn't know much about the situation in the Dongsha Islands. However, there is still a gap between the strength of the Kunsha Gang and our navy. If there is a head-on firefight, we have a seven-level chance of winning."

"Only seven floors?"

Liu Xia asked.

"The seventh level of the naval battle is already not low. After all, Wang Kunsha is different from Dongji Island. They are prepared. Secondly, the weather in the naval battle is also very important. If the weather factors are put aside, the chance of winning will be higher.

.”

Huang Pujie said.

"I see. It's time to show off your sword. Send the order, and the army will set off early tomorrow morning."

Liu Xia said calmly.

——————————————————————

"Unlucky, really damn unlucky."

Wang Kunsha cursed here and coughed.

In the cabin, almost all the leaders of the Kunsha Gang are here.

However, there was no trace of excitement or joy on their faces today, instead they were filled with disappointment and embarrassment.

After attacking Jiangling, they fled in embarrassment. As a result, they were unable to capture even the small Tianan City.

The battle the night before yesterday was really weird. It was a small county town with less than 20,000 people. Last year, as long as they used the banner of their Kunsha Gang, the opponent would flee like a lost dog.

As a result, something went wrong the night before yesterday.

First, the defenders of the county town resisted desperately, and then a militia appeared from nowhere.

In the end, it turned out that the old, weak, women and children in the city joined the battle with hoes and kitchen knives.

They attacked for a full hour before they entered the city. As a result, reinforcements from all around came in droves.

If they hadn't evacuated in time, I'm afraid the losses the night before yesterday wouldn't have been so small.

Even so, it also greatly damaged their morale.

"Boss, I think we have a bad start this time. It's obvious that Liu Xia has been prepared for it. The coast is impregnable. Why don't we avoid the limelight first?"

"Yes, head, the night before yesterday, even the nearby sects who have always been indifferent to world affairs came out. If this is the case all along the coast, we may not be able to take advantage. After all, Liu Xia's bandit-suppressing army is still here.

"

Immediately, the leaders below started talking to each other one by one.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Wang Kunsha roared angrily, and the cabin suddenly became quiet.

"Damn it, we just hang our heads on our belts and make a living. If you're afraid of death, get off the boat if you're afraid of death! It's only been a few good years, haven't you already thrown your bones in

On the girls’ bed?”

Wang Kunsha cursed angrily.

"Brother, please calm down. That's not what we mean. We just think that with Liu Xia's strict defense, it will be difficult for us to take action. As the old saying goes, if the green hills are still there, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood. The imperial court's bandit-suppressing army cannot last forever

They are all stationed here. Let’s avoid their attacks first. When Liu Xia returns to Longdu, won’t this place become our world again?”

Zhao Bian smiled.

Zhao Bian is the second-in-command of the Kunsha Gang and plays the role of military advisor within the Kunsha Gang.

"Brother, this is wrong. Liu Xia's purpose is not as simple as annihilating us. From the fact that he mobilized the southeastern border garrison to protect Jiangling City, you should be able to tell that Liu Xia wants the people along the coast to

He is no longer afraid of us from the bottom of his heart. Even if he leaves here, the folk customs here have gradually become tougher. Even if there is no Liu Xia next year, they will still deal with us like they did last night."

Wang Kunsha sneered.

"Brother, what you mean is that Liu Xia has such good intentions and is preparing to avoid future troubles?"

"That's right, so we must not let him succeed. Now is the time to compete for morale. The higher their morale is, the more arrogant we will be. Only when one goes back and forth will we have a way to survive. I mean, you guys

Do you understand?"

Wang Kunsha asked.

"We understand what brother means, but the coast is now impregnable. If our casualties are too great, it will not be worth the loss."

Zhao Bian said.

"What's this? It's so-called "a hundred secrets and a sparseness". I think you are all lazy. Back then, we had more than 3,000 people and seven or eight ships in total. Didn't we plunder seven or eight cities? It's just that we were cautious and took every step.

Unless it was the first time, I still wouldn’t believe that Liu Xia could be so powerful! While our prestige is still there, we only need to succeed a few times to severely dampen the spirit of the cities along the coast. When the time comes, no matter whether Liu Xia leaves or not,

We can also travel across the world."

Wang Kunsha smiled.

"What the elder brother said makes sense. However, we'd better contact the people on Dongji Island. If we can divide our forces into two groups, the coast will definitely be undefendable. In the end, we will definitely become a frightened bird. The phoenix sings and the crane chirps, and they are not enough."

Out of fear."

Zhao Bian smiled.

"Well, I will contact Dongji Island immediately."

Wang Kunsha said.
