Water Margin people

At night, the ruins of Daoyu Village.

"Sun Tijutsu, have a good trip!"

Zhizhou Wang Shizhong and Tongpan Zongze personally bid farewell to Sun Li at the pier. Tonight, Sun Li will lead his troops out to sea to test the thieves.

"Knowing the state and judging the minister, the villain will surely destroy the bandit!"

Sun Li cupped his fists at Wang Shizhong and Zong Ze.

Teams of small boats disappeared into the night, heading towards the archipelago.

"Junior brother, are you really sure?"

Luan Tingyu looked at Sun Li and asked, now he is also staying by Sun Li's side as a card soldier.

"Sun Lei doesn't need to lie to us. If he wants to harm us, he can just release the news!"

Sun Li said, he thought that Luan Tingyu was worried that Sun Lei would not keep his promise, and suddenly counterattacked them, but doing so was meaningless to Sun Lei.

"I'm not worried about this. Of course, Sun Lei doesn't need to deal with us. It's about whether we can really win Zongze's trust in this battle. The judge Zongze is a capable person. It's not easy to deceive. It will be annoying if we are found out!"

Luan Tingyu said in a low voice, he also had contact with Zong Ze twice, only felt that he was unfathomable.

"I don't know what to do. Aren't those people just the eyeliners sent by Wang Shizhong and Zong Ze?"

Sun Li pointed to a boat behind, on which were Zongze's cronies and Marquis Yu.

"What does Sun Lei want this old man Zongze to do? Besides, it's not easy to catch him. He tricked him out of Dengzhou Mansion and caught him at night."

Luan Tingyu looked at Sun Li in puzzlement. Although Zong Ze was powerful, he had already passed the age of knowing his destiny, and he would be sixty in a few years. What could such an old man do?
Luan Tingyu couldn't figure it out, shouldn't thieves rob strong laborers and women from good families?Why did Sun Lei want the old man?Still an old man in office.

"I do not know either!"

Sun Li shook his head and said, he was also curious about these things, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of offending Sun Lei.

The fleet moved forward in a smear, relying on the stars and the moon to guide the way, and arrived near Salmon Island in the middle of the night.

"Look, there are lights, it's an enemy ship!"

A soldier whispered, and all the ships quickly slowed down and lowered their voices.

"Several Marquis Yu, the thief's lair is here!"

Sun Li pointed to Salmon Island and said to the people sent by Wang Shizhong and Zongze.

"The thieves are unprepared, it's a good time for a sneak attack!"

Everyone was excited, and rows of ships could be vaguely seen by the moonlight in the dark night.

"Prepare tarpaulins and shoot with arrows!"

Seeing that those people had confirmed it, Sun Li immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare arrows and oil cloths.

"Do you want to step forward to help?"

Sun Li looked at those people and asked.

"I'm just here to watch the battle and learn. I don't know the tactics of the navy. It's up to Sun Tijutsu to fight."

Everyone shook their heads again and again, this battle is going to kill people, they are not willing to take risks.

"Then everyone, I will go back later!"

Sun Li clasped his fists at the crowd and led them quietly to the port outside Salmon Island.

"Brother, these are merchant ships!"

After approaching, Luan Tingyu realized that all the merchant ships that were docked at the port were brought by Hu Yanqing, and there were no loach warships.

"These soldiers are all newly recruited civilians. How can we see any warships and merchant ships at night?"

Sun Li said in a low voice, now he was sure that what Sun Lei said was not a lie, Sun Lei was really going to pretend to be a big defeat.

"shooting!"

With an order from Sun Li, the arrows on the ships were ignited, and the sound of bowstrings was loud, like locust rockets fired at the ships in the port, setting them on fire in an instant.

"Enemy attack!"

"Fire out!"

There was a sound of gongs and drums, and there were waves of shouts from Salmon Island.

"Quick, let's go!"

Sun Li immediately called everyone to leave.

The flames in the port are getting bigger and bigger, those ships seem to be equipped with kindling, and the flames are so spectacular that they are soaring into the sky.

Dengzhou city.

"It's done, it's done!"

Wang Shizhong patted the city wall with great joy and said, he saw the flames rising from the sea, no matter what happened to Sun Li and the army, the thieves must have suffered heavy losses, this is enough, even if the entire army is wiped out, it is worth it.

"Okay, Sun Li didn't let me down!"

Zong Ze was overjoyed when he saw the flames. This battle finally boosted morale and severely injured the thief.

"Beat the drums!"

Zong Ze ordered to the soldiers in the city, how could such a grand event not be publicized, so as to reassure the panic-stricken people.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of war drums resounded throughout Dengzhou City, and the people in the city were awakened by the sound of war drums. They went out of their houses one after another to see what was going on. They saw the flames on the sea.

"Zong Tongpan, just as you said, let's jointly write a letter to claim credit for Sun Li!"

Wang Shizhong looked at Zong Ze with great joy and said, Sun Li has made great achievements now, so he must be rewarded heavily.

"Thank you, Prefect Wang!"

Zong Ze said with a smile.

"I heard that Liang Zhongshu of the Daming Mansion will send someone to bring armaments. I don't know when they will arrive. With those armaments, it is not a problem to wipe out the thieves."

Zong Ze looked at Wang Shizhong and asked.

"I've only heard it, but the exact time is not clear."

Wang Shizhong shook his head and said, Liang Zhongshu represented Cai Jing's meaning, how could he, a prefect in a remote military prefecture, know.

However, what he cares more about is not the thieves, but when he can contact Jurchen to destroy Liao together.

The drums of war were still beating until after dawn, and many people from the rich clan were delighted to hear that, without thieves, they would be able to make money unimpeded at sea.

After dawn.

"I'm back! I'm back!"

While Wang Shizhong was drinking tea with Zong Ze, a soldier shouted.

"What's back?"

Zong Ze asked quickly.

"Sun Tihat is back with an army!"

The soldier ran in and replied.

"Back? Good, great!"

Zong Ze was overjoyed. They all thought that people like Sun Li would never return, and even if they came back, there would be very few people.

"Notify the whole city, open the city gates, and welcome the triumphant army!"

Wang Shizhong told outside the door that this triumph is too important for Dengzhou City, and it must be widely publicized to boost the morale of the whole city.

maritime.

Before getting close to Dengzhou City, Sun Li heard the sound of drums, followed by the whole city's flags covering the sky, the city gates opened wide, and a large number of soldiers lined up at the gates.

"Don't need such a big battle!"

Sun Li's face was full of embarrassment. In the eyes of everyone in Dengzhou, he was a hero who succeeded in suppressing the bandits, but he knew very well in his heart that everything was just acting, and his successful sneak attack was fake.

"So it seems that you are really the God of War in Dengzhou."

Luan Tingyu looked at Sun Li with a strange face, everything seemed to be moving towards Sun Lei's plan, but did Sun Li climb too high? One must know that Sun Li had already surrendered to Liangshan. If the truth came to light , how does Sun Li behave?

"I didn't expect it to be like this! Since Dengzhou was opened as a port, there has never been such a big crowd to welcome people!"

Sun Li didn't like it. If it was the past, the ancestral grave would be full of smoke. The dream of his life, the wish of honoring his ancestors, has finally come true, but now he is an undercover agent. Is it really good to climb so high?

"Now you have no choice but to take it hard."

Luan Tingyu watched the boats approaching the pier. The pier was already decorated with lights and festoons. Sun Li could not refuse now. He must be the God of War in Dengzhou.
