Chapter 1130 Top Secret Grain Transport Plan
"That's right, it's Changgai Island."
Lin Muyu whispered: "Changyuan Island is evergreen all year round, the terrain is flat, and the island is surrounded. It can serve as a safe haven in the inland sea, and at least more than 3,000 warships can be moored, which is enough to allow us to hide 300,000 troops on Changyuan Island. Changyuan Island is about 240 miles away from Tianji Continent, and it only takes one day to sail. There are two islands between Changyuan Island and Tianji Continent, called Green Stone Island and Jiufeng Island. The three islands are horn-like. We can use a fleet as bait, whether it is ambushed on Jiufeng Island or ambushed on Green Stone Island. Once the war breaks out, three islands can send troops together, forming an encirclement force, making Yangshang's warships unable to come and go."
Xiang Yu took a deep breath and said, "Why is Lin so confident?"
"It's not about having confidence, but about making every step of the way. This is the best result. All we have to do is bring Yang Shang into the grave we dug for him."
Qianfeng smiled happily: "The plan must be more thorough, otherwise it may be difficult to implement."
"That's right."
Lin Muyu sat down, picked up the green tea and took a sip, and said, "Try our best to make the plan more thorough and perfect."
Tang Zhen smiled and said, "We are all ready, please give the order!"
"I need two fleets to go first, to enter Jiufeng Island, and Green Rock Island as the first force, bluffing to interfere with Yang Shang's attention. Each fleet has about 50,000 people. Who is willing to go?"
Everyone was shocked. The mere 50,000 troops were probably not enough for Yang Shang's 250,000 troops to get stuck in the gaps.
At this time, Qin Yan stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, I am willing to lead the 50,000 forward troops of the Congress army to carry out this mission. Please allow me!"
"Ayan..."
Lin Muyu thought for a moment and said, "Sit down first."
"Brother, do you think I can't perform this task well?" Qin Yan was a little anxious. During the Congress Rebellion, Qin Can always play a negative role. Qin Yan wanted to prove his loyalty to the empire.
"It's not that it can't, but it's not suitable." Lin Muyu smiled with her and said, "Ayan, you are simple and upright. Once you are in the battle, you are easily bewitched by your opponent. I need two more calm people to perform this task. Since no one speaks, I will name it, Xu Jiantao, Qianfeng, you two go and execute it."
Xu Jiantao and Qianfeng stood up together and fisted: "Yes, my subordinates obey the orders and will definitely not disappoint the marshal's expectations!"
"You must be more careful and leave tomorrow morning, and then I will contact you as a scout bee."
"yes!"
Qianfeng clasped his fists: "Thank you, Lin Shuai, trust us."
"No."
Lin Muyu shook his head and smiled: "You are all famous generals of the world. I should thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to command a group of famous generals to engage in this unprecedented battle!"
Everyone laughed.
...
In the evening, a fast ship entered the nearby waters and entered the harbor under the escort of eight Imperial Navy warships. Then a row of cavalry rushed away and entered the central army of the Qin army.
"A Yao is here?"
Lin Muyu was very excited when he received the message and led Wei Qiu, Feng Jixing and others to quickly leave the tent. From a distance, Sikong Yao rode a war horse and galloped over with joy on his face.
"Brother Ayu!"
She jumped up from the horse, flew into Lin Muyu's arms, hugged the brother who had been away for a long time, and tears hovered in her eyes. The pressure she had been under so much these days!
"A Yao, A Yao..." Lin Muyu helped her wipe her tears and said softly: "Are everyone okay?"
"Everything is good, all is good."
Sikong Yaoxiang's shoulders trembled slightly and said, "But Brother Ayu, our Xishan Province has fallen. I led a 150,000 army to board the ship and headed first. Three days later, I received news of the Xishan Province. The Baize mercenaries who stayed in Xiping City have all taken off their military uniforms and fled into the countryside."
"It's fine..."
Lin Muyu stroked her hair gently and said, "When will the army you brought to arrive?"
"Arriving at Cangfeng Port in one day."
"You can follow me from now on, this war still needs you."
"Uh-huh."
At this time, Liu Buyi, with several Bai Ze mercenaries' deputy commander, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee to salute: "See Marshal!"
"No gift."
Lin Muyu asked: "Buyi, how was the situation in Tianji Continent when you left?"
"Yang Shang ordered the main force of the millions of troops ruled by Chen Yu to annex our Xishan Province and the Huoyuan Province with the prairie fire. Now it should have been deployed on the coast and ready to welcome the Qin army."
"Chen Yu's million-strong army?"
“That’s right.”
"A Yu, how about this person Chen Yu?" Feng Jixing asked.
Lin Muyu looked solemn: "It's very cunning and cunning. It's an opponent that must be taken seriously. Damn... I thought the Yang Chamber of Commerce was supervising the battle himself, but I didn't expect that Chen Yu would lead the troops. This would be troublesome!"
"You're swearing, Mu Mu!" Tang Xiaoxi said.
"Okay, I'm sorry." Lin Muyu touched her nose.
Feng Jixing frowned and said, "Chen Yu is really that scary."
"Well." Lin Muyu pondered: "It can be said that if the leader of the army was Yangshang, ten Yangshangs were tied together, and it would be better than any of you and me. But Chen Yu's words... it would be not that simple to lead Chen Yu's millions of troops to the sea to fight the final battle. Chen Yu had all the mechanisms and was cautious. Without a full chance of winning, he would not attack easily."
Feng Jixing patted his shoulder: "It's okay, Chen Yu is a human and not a god now, and there will always be flaws. Don't think so much about it first, and arrange the Bai Ze mercenary's camp as soon as possible."
"Um!"
...
At night, heavy snow fell again.
Lin Muyu was the only one left in the tent. His eyes remained on the three islands on the map and could not go away, silently muttering: "Food...Food..."
According to the plan, 300,000 troops were stationed on Changyuan Island. As Qianfeng said, there were many difficulties. You must have a careful plan to complete this grand event, and food was the primary issue.
The empire has not many warships. The average number of large warships is 180. 4,000 large and small warships can transport 30W people and about 10W war horses to Changyuan Island, but this also means that the warships cannot carry more food and fresh water. From the Shuding Realm to Changyuan Island, it will be at least five days to go to Changyuan Island. Even if they carry rations for 10 days for each person, half of the food was eaten when they sent the 30W army to Changyuan Island. The warships will return and transport food and grass. This will take at least 20 days. If they are not in the optimistic situation, what will the 30W army on the island eat? They will have to support it for at least half a month!
The army cannot be without food. The soldiers cannot fight if they are hungry and may even mutiny. No one wants to see such a result.
Lin Muyu thought hard and his head was getting bigger.
Unconsciously, he fell asleep on the table.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly someone was calling him: “Brother… wake up, brother!”
When I looked up, I found that it was a scout bee flapping its wings in my ear. It was Lulu from the Tiandi system who came.
"Lulu, come out!"
Lin Muyu chuckled, and soon, the scout bee landed on the map, vibrating its wings, and a beam of light shot out from its back, condensed into Lulu's image, which was still so cute and ostentatious, flapping its wings and flying gently in the air, and laughing: "Brother, why don't you sleep in the bed?"
"Oh, forgot, why did Lulu remember to come to me suddenly?"
"My brother has never looked for Lulu after he returned to Earth. I thought you don't want me anymore..."
"How could it be!"
"Brother is feeling depressed, what difficulties have you encountered?" Lulu held her hands together in a tangled manner, and looked at Lin Muyu with concern.
"I've really encountered a problem."
"What problem is it? Tell Lulu."
"Transport grain."
Lin Muyu said: "I need to send a large amount of military rations to Changyuan Island thousands of miles away, but... but my warships are not enough to transport them at all. What should I do... Lulu, do you have a way to build some ships for me?"
"shipbuilding?"
Lulu blinked: "I'm afraid not, it takes too much time. Lulu has been busy growing potatoes for a while and has no time to do anything else. However... if my brother really wants to transport food, why do he have to build a ship?"
"Oh? Lulu has a way?"
"Well." Lulu shaking her wings and laughed, "Did your brother forget the scout bee? At that time, the Tiandi system created hundreds of billions of scout bees, and there were no billions of those left in the Broken Cauldron Realm. Although the weight that a scout bee can carry is extremely limited, it can also transport things the size of soybeans. As for food, Lulu can break down dried potatoes into very small pieces and send them to Changyuan Island. Isn't that enough?"
Lin Muyu felt a little surprised when she heard this: "Yes, why didn't I expect it?!"
Lulu twisted her buttocks and chuckled like asking for credit: "Brother, praise me! praise me!"
"Lulu is the most capable!"
"Okay, is it Changyuan Island? Lulu has positioned it."
"Um."
Soon, Lulu scanned the coordinates of Changyuan Island, and the entire island shape suddenly appeared in front of Lin Muyu, and the jungles, plains, mountains, and animals above were all presented in real time.
Lulu said: "There are no large animals on Changyuan Island, there are 542 medium-sized animals and more than 10,000 small animals. There are 27 caves on the island. The caves can store about 400 tons of grain. So Lulu ordered the scouts to send food into these caves?"
"Um!"
Lin Muyu focused on it. Because it was snowing, if the food was left in the open air, it would definitely be wet and moldy. It is a good choice to put it in a cave.
"brush!"
A ray of light disappeared, and Lulu was busy.
