Chapter 636 Dad, what do you mean by that question
Chapter 636 Dad, what do you mean by that question?
Li Er shook his head: "Hou Junji has been monitoring the movements of the Western Regions, and there are not many big cannibals in Hezhong."
"The Turks who migrated there didn't do much."
"However, the traitor Linghu clan is very active and seems to want to build a city there."
Hou Junji used various means this year to find out information about the Western Regions. If the cannibals cross the river, it will be impossible not to be discovered.
"Does the cannibal have the same idea as Su Chen and wants to attack by water?"
Changsun Wuji said doubtfully:
Wei Zheng gestured with his fingers on the map: "This strait is much farther from Dashi than from Guangzhou in the Tang Dynasty!"
"And Su Chen said that the cannibal ships are far inferior to our Tang Dynasty,"
"Who knows how long they walked to get to Malacca? For such a sneak attack, the risks and benefits are disproportionate!"
Li Er took another look at the battle report: "The prisoner told me that the cannibals walked along the coastline for a hundred days before they arrived!"
Everyone gasped after hearing this!
"Hey! What a cannibal, what a perseverance!"
Wei Zheng sighed.
Du Ruhui said: "If they want to sneak attack on our Datang, it is indeed a bit unreasonable, but it is even more unreasonable to spend so much effort if it is not for a sneak attack!"
Listening to Du Ruhui's seemingly contradictory analysis, everyone couldn't figure out what the cannibalism was all about.
"Anyway, the Navy has discovered this hidden danger in advance, so we don't have to think about what the cannibals want to do anymore!"
Li Er said to everyone.
"Yes! Fortunately, the loss of the Royal Navy was not huge, but the Great Eater was almost wiped out. It seems that the Great Eater is not my opponent in the naval battle!"
Fang Xuanling said to Fang Yiai, who was distracted, "Why are you so dazed?"
"Has Su Chen said anything about his future plans?"
Apart from reporting on the ambush, the battle report did not mention future plans.
"Intend?"
“Of course we’ll have a big meal next!”
"Your Majesty! Everyone! The big cannibals are very good at eating people. If it weren't for them this time..."
Fang Xuanling directly interrupted Fang Yiai and said angrily: "Stop bragging. Did Su Chen have any detailed plans?"
"Detailed plan, Malacca is still more than 10,000 miles away from Dashi! We can only make detailed plans when we get there!"
Seeing that his father was about to slap him again, Fang Yiai hurriedly said: "I really don't know, but I heard from the commander that the troops should be divided into two groups!"
Li Er also glared at Fang Yiai: "Tell me carefully!"
Fang Yiai said with a bitter face: "But I know that I don't pay close attention!"
Coming to the table again, Fang Yiai traced the map with his finger and said: "I heard from the commander that he led the main gunboats, transport ships and a small number of frigates across..."
"Master Sun Ren took other ships along the coastline..."
Fang Yiai drew the navigation route of the naval fleet on the map for everyone.
"You know that a strong enemy will be waiting for you, but you still want to disperse your troops?
Although I don’t know how to fight, this is not a wise move, right?"
Fang Yiai said to Wei Zheng: "Duke Zheng, Dashi is not a strong enemy!"
"The commander's troops split into two groups simply because he disliked those galley warships that were too slow and couldn't cross the ocean!"
"But I thought it might be useful in the Persian Gulf, so I asked them to walk slowly along the coastline."
Li Er said: "Forget it, how to march and fight is a matter for the leading general. Besides, the fleet may not have gone there now, and we can't control it!"
Then he looked at Fang Yiai: "Does Su Chen and the prince have anything else to tell you?"
Fang Yiai said blankly: "No, the commander-in-chief just asked us not to say anything to the outside world. He said that he wanted to maintain a sense of mystery and let those with ulterior motives guess."
"Oh, by the way, there are also private messages from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Marshal!"
"Your Highness is writing to your Majesty and your empress, and the Marshal is writing to the princess..."
As he spoke, he took out the letter again.
Fang Xuanling slapped her again: "This is what your Majesty asked."
After handing over the letter and confirming again and again that there was nothing else, Fang Yiai let Fang Yiai go back and rest by herself.
"Don't forget what Su Chen told you. From now on, no one should say anything about the fleet!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I take my leave!"
"First hand over the letter from the Protector to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and then go back."
Fang Xuanling explained again.
Fang Yiai scratched her head and muttered: "No wonder you feel you have forgotten something?"
"That old servant Liu Si went back to see Princess Changle. I actually forgot to give him the letter directly!"
"It's worth a trip!"
After Wei Zheng watched Fang Yiai leave, he said to Fang Xuanling: "It seems that Erlang was seriously injured in the naval battle. You'd better ask the imperial doctor to take a look at his brain!"
Fang Xuanling glared at Wei Zheng:
It’s you who should look at your brain!
Wei Jianzi, who is usually serious about his words, has recently learned to make jokes?
After Fang Yiai left, Li Er said quietly:
"It seems that the naval fleet is indeed nothing serious. Rumors have been spreading around recently, and some people are evil-minded!"
No one answered.
Who told you to put the prince into the fleet?
"Forget it! I've been busy lately, and I'm too lazy to find out who is behind it, just for fear that the world will not be in chaos."
"As for the fleet, just do as Su Chen said, keep it a mystery and let people with ulterior motives slowly guess it!"
Everyone replied in unison: "Yes! I will obey the holy orders!"
Although there are many kinds of rumors these days, they basically have the same general meaning:
The fleet encountered an accident outside, and the life or death of Prince Li Chengqian is unknown!
This kind of rumor with ulterior motives is aimed directly at Prince Li Chengqian!
Li Er has been angry all the time these days!
Fang Yiai's return made Li Er'e and all the officials heave a sigh of relief!
After Fang Xuanling returned home from the Yamen, he found Fang Yiai waiting for him in the study.
Looking at Fang Yiai sitting there in a daze, Fang Xuanling lazily praised him?:
"My performance in the navy was pretty good! This time..."
"Ah! Father, you are back!"
Fang Yi loves a stimulating way.
"Well, what were you in a daze just now?"
"Waiting for me in the study, what do you want?"
Fang Yiai immediately looked constipated: "Dad! What do you mean by the question you asked me to ask last time?"
Fang Xuanling frowned: "What's the problem?"
Fang Yiai said: "It's the one in Guangzhou who sent me the letter and asked me to ask the commander."
"That's right, the one you said was going to build a national temple overseas."
Only then did Fang Xuanling react: "Well, it's nothing?
Just asking!"
Fang Yiai's eyes widened: "Dad! You are my biological father, you can ask questions like that casually?"
"Do you know how much courage it took me to dare to speak to the commander?"
"If you weren't a threat and a guarantee, I wouldn't have dared to ask the commander that question."
"Dad, you don't know that His Highness the Crown Prince was right next to you at that time..."
Fang Xuanling smiled: "Isn't it okay? His Royal Highness doesn't blame you, right?"
