In Bumicheng's mansion, Xu Rong left the last piece on the chessboard and laughed at Zhang Liao: "Brother Wenyuan, you lost another game, this is already three consecutive games."

After saying that, he found that Zhang Liao's expression was wrong and asked again: "Brother Wenyuan is still worried about tracking Su Qi Duli's nest? It's useless to be anxious. There should be always results. If God doesn't give him a favor, it's useless to be anxious here."

Zhang Liao sighed and was about to answer, but a commander had already come to report: "Report to the commander, a semi-submersible ship of our army discovered the Mahan fleet that plundered our army on the surface of the cruise ship and followed them into their nest."

Zhang Liao stood up from the chair in surprise and said, "It's great, let the ship leader on this semi-submersible ship come to see someone!"

Soon, the ship leader entered the mansion and was about to bow to Zhang Liao on one knee, but was stopped by Zhang Liao and said, "All red tape is spared. Please tell me carefully about the process and results of discovering this Mahan fleet."

Then, the ship led a lot to Zhang Liao: "Report to the commander, this morning, a man and his brothers arranged the upper peak to patrol the semi-submersible ship to the designated area. In the afternoon, the observation soldiers discovered the sound of our army's arrows and immediately headed to the position where the arrows rose up. Then we discovered Mahan's fleet. We followed them in semi-submersible state to the small island at the exit of the bay. They stayed there for less than an hour. It seemed that after unloading the troops or supplies, some of the ships turned to the southwest. This time we followed them in full submersible state until we entered a mountainous area surrounded by water. Their fleet turned into a sea siege and we continued to track until their fleet entered a river..."

After listening carefully, Zhang Liao immediately said, "You quickly tell me the previous island and the land surrounded by water on all sides." He said, and he stood up to a table with a huge map, and Xu Rong and the ship's leader followed closely. The ship's leader skillfully identified these two areas with the small flag on the table. Zhang Liao then said to the ship's leader with satisfaction: "If these two areas are really the hiding place of the Mahan soldiers, you have made great contributions. If there is also the old nest of Su Qi Duli, you have made great contributions! This general will definitely reward you with many achievements."

The ship leader replied happily: "Thank you, Commander!" After the ship leader left, Zhang Liao looked at the map carefully and said to himself: "Which of these two places is most likely to be Su Shi Duli's nest." Xu Rong next to him immediately responded: "It's still necessary to ask, it must be this area with a radius of dozens of miles. How many people can be hidden on the island?"

Zhang Liao nodded: "That's right, but we can't bet. Even if two bowls of rice are brought to us, we will eat two bowls of rice together, otherwise there is a possibility of leaking news."

Xu Rong asked, "But both ends eat at the same time, this is a problem in the distribution of troops. Because we don't know which of the two places is the main force of Mahan. If we divide the troops equally, we rely only half of the troops and ships to attack Su Shi Duli's lair, we will inevitably let him slip away again."

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "I said that eating together is not to eat at the same time. We can pick one up and eat one. The so-called pick up one means sealing the area with a radius of dozens of miles and waterways on all sides. Our semi-submersible ship partly guards the throat of the waterway, and some patrols in the waterway. In addition, our cavalry patrolling the other side of the waterway can do this, and it is likely that the other party will not notice it. The so-called eating one first means eating this island first. Most of our infantry and warship forces are used on this island first. Even if it is Su Shi Duli's lair, it will be wiped out by us!"

After hearing this, Xu Rong nodded frequently, obviously approving of Zhang Liao's strategy.

Immediately, the order soldiers outside the gate of Zhang Liao called into the house and asked him to summon all the generals in Zhang Liao's army, even Xu Chu, and the generals of the Wei army led by him. In just half an hour, Zhang Liao completed all the military operations. This operation used almost all the troops and ships that could be mobilized in Bumi City and around him, including the Wei army led by Xu Zhu and the three thousand soldiers and horses brought by Xu Rong.

In order to seize the time to avoid the long nights and dreams, Zhang Liao ordered the Liang army to carry out military mobilization overnight. The city was brightly lit, and the streets and alleys were filled with rows of Liang infantry and speeding cavalry. Many of them were lined up in neatly lined up toward the city.

The same is true in the port, with a large number of Viking ships, semi-submersible ships, and even sailing warships passing through the water. Some of them leaned on the docks to load soldiers and supplies, while others were heading towards the exit of the port.

...

Turtle Island, the island where Su Jinduli first removed the soldiers, was sleeping soundly under the night. Last night, because of the great victory in the daytime, each soldier here received a portion of wine and meat and drank until midnight before they fell asleep. There were only a few Mahan soldiers outside the camp who were watching, walking absent-mindedly along the coast.

On the beach facing the west, a pair of Mahan soldiers were chatting while walking. One of them suddenly stopped talking like a snake bite. His eyes were as big as a copper bell, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Who drove the boat here?"

The other man looked in the sound. Sure enough, under the bright moonlight, he saw the silhouette of a ship that had rushed into the shallows that had been out of dozens of battles. He was stunned for two or three breaths, and shouted with all his might: "Enemy ship! This is an enemy ship! There is an enemy...ah!" Before he finished speaking, he screamed. A heavy arrow shot through his chest.

The other man turned around and ran, shouting loudly while running. More than a dozen people jumped into the sea water behind him and rushed towards the coast with knee-deep sea water. The remaining Mahan soldier ran for less than ten battles and was slashed on the back of his head by a rotating axe and threw himself to the ground. However, his screams and screams were already far away in the night sky.

The Mahan soldiers patrolling the rest of the station had already run toward this side with torches, and they shouted from afar. Some of these people who shouted and warned discovered the situation here, while others found that unknown ships were also attacking the rest of the coast.

The Mahan soldiers were screaming and alert, and finally woke up the Mahan soldiers who were sleeping soundly in the forest camp. Their main general, a carp, jumped up from the straw mat. After the situation was cleared, he hurriedly shouted: "Retreat! Retreat from the East Coast, and we still have a batch of ships hidden there!"

After saying that, he led his personal soldiers to run wildly towards the eastern part of the island. At the same time, a large number of Liang troops rushing to the island had already reached the edge of the camp.
