”Yes, Master Li Chun is also Chinese.” Li Qi nodded his head and said seriously: ”Master Li Chun's ancestors were the Scholars s of the Xuantu County. After the Gaoguellian captured the Xuantu County, Master Li Chun's ancestors led the rest of the clan's people to the Morvo and joined the Nordovo Alliance.”
During the preparation for the conquest of the Gaoguanli, Yang Lin had also known that there were a lot of Han Chinese in the Gaoguellian. They were all captured forcibly by the Gaoguellian when they were attacking the Xuantu County, Liaodong County and Leroy County.
”Great.” Yang Lin could not help but laugh. The Han people had strong vitality, they could survive wherever they went and even make a name for themselves. He thought for a while, then said to Li Qi: ”Are you familiar with the Saur? Or perhaps, are you familiar with the Cook Islands on the other side? ”
”Cook Islands? Lord General, you mean the island opposite you, right? ” Li Qi saw Yang Lin nod his head, and then continued: ”We are familiar with the Saur, and also familiar with the bitter barbarian. We often go back and forth between Saur s to do business. ”
”That would be great.” Yang Lin was worrying that he did not have a guide, so he did not know about Saur's situation. He immediately jumped down from the horse, walked to Li Qi's side and patted his shoulder, then laughed: ”Alright, tell us about Saur's situation.”
”Returning to the Lord General, there are a total of twelve tribes in the Saur, and fifteen of them. In front of us is a valley that leads directly to the Saur, and not too far away from the valley is the's castle, belonging to their tribe leader, Ge Daji. ” Li Qi looked left and right, then pointed to a mountain in front of him and said: ”Go around that mountain peak and that valley will be the place where the tribe leader Ge Daji's castle is located.”
”Very good.” Yang Lin nodded, and couldn't help but think things through in his mind. There were only a few hundred thousand people in the Sahu Tribe, it would not be difficult to conquer them. However, wanting to conquer the Saur was not something that could be done in a day or two, but he could not afford to waste time here! It would be better to conquer the Cook Islands along with him, and delay time would also be good.
Yang Lin and Zhang Banxian discussed for a while, then turned around and said to herald, ”Pass my order, order Chen Hui to lead five squadrons of water army and land battle squadron to occupy the harbor of the Kuijs Island's Weishan Bay. Order Qin Hong and Qin Wei's cavalry brigade to board the ship and conquer the Kuijs Island. ”
Although there were only five ten thousand people s in the bitter barbarians, Yang Lin still had to send a large group of people to conquer them. His purpose was to create a great pressure on these bitter barbarians, completely dispelling any thoughts of resistance, and letting them have the belief that the Chinese army could not defeat them.
”The Ocean Army's Land Warfare Brigade soldiers will be guarding the shore. Sun Zhong and Jiang Tai, the two cavalry brigade s, will follow me into the mountains.” The Sahab tribe has a hundred and fifty thousand people, their forces should be sufficient. ”Send out the exorcism to scout the way first, we will follow this valley. Jiang Tai, you will lead a Company to be the vanguard. Hou Shan, you will lead a Company of troops to the rear of the main hall. The other Company of riders will follow me to the center. ”
”Yes sir!” Jiang Tai and Hou Shan promised and then left.
”Li Qi, we want to conquer the Saur. You can be our guide.” Yang Lin turned around and waved his hand at Li Qi, then ordered loudly: ”Have your men follow our exorcism and lead the way, you will follow beside me and introduce the situation of the Saur to me.”
”This …” Li Qi obviously did not expect Yang Lin to let them lead the way, he hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Yang Lin: ”Lord General, my old master is still in Imperial City, if Saur sees us guiding the way for the Han army, won't they harm my old master?”
”We have so many soldiers, how could they recognize you? If you're worried, I'll find some clothes for you to change into, so they won't be able to recognize you. ” Regardless if Li Qi was willing or not, Yang Lin waved his hand and said to the herald beside him: ”Immediately find them a few sets of clothes, let them change into them quickly.”
”There's no need to change your clothes.” Li Qi had no choice but to stop Yang Lin's herald. In fact, as Li Chun's guards, they were all wearing armor, who would be able to recognize them? It was just that without Li Chun's command, he did not dare leave the merchant ship.
”Lord General, are you really going to attack Saur?” Li Qi's eyes revealed an obvious look of fear: ”Lord General, you might not have seen it before, but those Saur s are big like Gao Li, and can all think about it by themselves. Those Saur s are accurate, fierce, and also have a violent personality, you went all the way there, I'm afraid they aren't a match for you!”
”Hehe …” The more fierce they are, the more I want to conquer them. ” Yang Lin laughed and said scornfully, ”The Barbarian of these remote places will only fight fiercely between these small tribes. If they dare to offend the officials of Great man of the sky, then let them have a taste of what it means to be strong! ”
”Lord General has twelve tribes located within a radius of five hundred Li. Even if the Han Army is stronger, if the twelve tribes were to attack, it would take at least one or two months. The sea has already been frozen, what about the more than 500 battleships in Lord General? ” Li Qi was still not giving up and continued to persuade him.
Since he was here at North Sea, Yang Lin had long consulted the experienced sailors before. He was very confident, at least within a month, no matter if it was Sa Wu or the Kuijs Island, they would not freeze him, ”Thank you for your reminder, we will finish the battle as soon as possible.”
