Zhao Dongting sighed softly: "Yes... this flood came in a bad time..."

Le Chan pursed her lips, walked behind Zhao Dongting and kneaded his shoulders, and said softly: "What can the emperor do to get food?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Apart from all the unaffected disasters in the territory, I am afraid I can only borrow food from Liuke. Tubo is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren, so there is not much food. Xixia has just encountered a war, and it is time for all to be done. It is not easy for so many displaced refugees, Li Fanrong and Gu Shu Tea to be self-sufficient. But Liuke learned the most advanced planting method of our Song Dynasty, but it is only such a big place after all. Even if you borrow food, you don't know if it can solve this crisis."

Le Chan sighed when she heard this, "It's so difficult. Our Song Dynasty has the most abundant grain production, and we are so short of it, let alone mention them..."

Then she said, "I wonder if the emperor has ever thought of a peace with the Yuan Dynasty?"

Zhao Dongting turned around and looked at her after hearing this.

Le Chan said slowly: "Our soldiers won consecutive battles on the front line, and the Yuan army rushed to face the battle and suffered losses one after another. At this time, they should be gritting their teeth and confronting our soldiers of the Song Dynasty. I think they should not want to continue to fight. Why don't the emperor use this as a reason to ask the Yuan Dynasty to compensate us for food, and then our army will withdraw from the front line?"

Zhao Dongting frowned and pondered for a while.

"no."

In the end, I spit out these two words.

He said in a low voice: "Not to mention whether the Yuan Dynasty would agree to peace agreement, even if they agreed, I would not be willing to withdraw the troops. In this battle, our Song Dynasty elites were all out and retreated. We don't know when the next time we attacked Yuan. And then the Yuan army must be prepared. It would be impossible to set up a base in their territory again. Moreover, if the front-line army was withdrawn just because of such floods, what should we do if there are such disasters all year round in the future?"

After all, the foundation of the Song Dynasty is too weak and its ability to deal with sudden situations is too poor.

But Zhao Dongting did not regret that he had in such a hurry to attack the Yuan Dynasty.

He has been sitting in this position as an emperor for more than ten years, but in fact he doesn't want to sit like this all the time. He also wants to pursue the kind of life he wants.

Le Chan was silent when she heard what he said.

Zhao Dongting thought about it, and suddenly a light appeared in his eyes, saying, "You can't get food from the Yuan Dynasty, but you can try it in Yue Li Dynasty, Zhen La and other countries."

The light in his eyes became more and more obvious, "Now the king of the Yue Li Dynasty is still in our hands. Calculate the time, their envoys should be coming soon. Zhenla still has so many surrendered soldiers on Guangnan West Road. I think if they were asked to exchange food for these surrendered soldiers to return, they would not agree."

After saying that, he stood up and ran out of the room.

Le Chan watched Zhao Dongting run out in a hurry with such a look, and various complex emotions such as relief and care emerged in her eyes.

Zhao Dongting almost rushed to the imperial study room, and then hurriedly picked up his pen and wrote a letter.

A letter was written to Wen Yuanli, the governor of Guangnan West Road.

I also wrote another letter to Liu Qiujun Emperor Axing.

After writing these two letters, he hurriedly Xuan Yi Shiyu to the imperial study room and asked him to pass the two letters as quickly as possible.

If there is any food and grass assistance from the Li Dynasty and the Zhen La Kingdom, then the crisis should have been safe and sound.

Only when Yi Shiyu received the letter and was about to leave the imperial study room, Zhao Dongting called him.

He thought about it and wrote two more letters.

These two letters were given to Lord Ma Yi and Lord Boni.

Be prepared for any trouble.

Zhao Dongting was used to making the most complete preparations. Although the journey from Boni and Ma Yi to the Song Dynasty was long, it would inevitably cost a lot of manpower and material resources to transport grain, but now, I don’t care about so much.

Being able to survive the disaster and protect the food and supplies of the front-line army is the top priority.

When Zhao Dongting seemed quite worried here, in Haizhou, Tu Boda's surprise attack army was also preparing to set off from the coast.

The young general personally led the army, with more than 200 small boats. There were more than 800 dead soldiers on the boat.

The boats were carried by soldiers and placed in the water.

Then they carried objects such as sky thunder and other objects onto the ship.

The waterline of the boat continues to decline.

In the end, there were nearly a hundred thunders piled up on each small boat. In addition to the thunders, there were also a lot of hay on the boat.

In the night, the soldiers on the boat rowed the oars in their hands and headed towards the sea.

The young general led dozens of boats to follow behind.

There were no thunder and other objects on these dozens of small boats, but they were all carrying turbulent barrels. All the soldiers on the boat were carrying bows and arrows.

There were not many waves on the sea surface, but the sound of sea breeze and waves was enough to cover up the movements of these small boats.

Less than three hundred small boats seemed too insignificant on the endless sea, and they could be said to be silent when they acted.

At this time, Huang Hua led the sea warship and was still parked on the sea.

In order to prevent ships from drifting with the waves, the ships were connected by chains.

Under the moonlight, dozens of sea warships were shaking like that.

Except for the soldiers who were vigilant on the boat, the rest of the soldiers were already asleep.

The generals of the Song Dynasty were not omnipotent. Although they must be somewhat guarded against the Yuan army's surprise attack, they may not have thought that the Yuan army would carry out the surprise attack in this way.

The nearly three hundred small boats of the Yuan army rose and fell on the sea. After more than an hour, they finally found the sea warship of the Song Dynasty.

The young general saw dozens of huge sea warships in the moonlight, and his face suddenly showed excitement.

If his plan was successful this time, it would inevitably become a battle for him to become famous.

He couldn't help but feel excited and growled: "Hurry! Hurry! Go over!"

The boat seemed to be faster.

After a short while, they were only more than twenty meters away from the naval warships of soldiers from Xingguo Military Region.

On the sea, the moonlight is always particularly bright. At such a distance, even these small boats can hardly hide their whereabouts.

The imperial guards who were vigilant on the naval warship saw these small boats scattered and approached, and then they shouted with great roar, "Enemy attack! An enemy attack!"

He ran to the big pendulum on the boat and shook the striker vigorously.

The dong dong dong dong quickly rang out on the sea.

Immediately afterwards, such shouts and bells quickly spread to the rest of the sea warships.

The gunshots followed.

But at this time, the small boats of the Yuan army were getting closer and closer to the naval battle formation.

When Huang Hua and others hurriedly ran from the cabin to the deck, some small boats were even less than ten meters away from the sea warship.

With such a distance, the grenade can no longer play any role.

Huang Hua looked at the boats with narrow eyes, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Of course he could see what was piled up on these small boats, and the hay was enough to show what the Yuan army was thinking.

At this moment, a chill also jumped straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

If these small boats were allowed to rely on Shanghai warships, their losses would inevitably be extremely heavy.

It is true that the sea warships of the Song Dynasty are powerful, but they definitely cannot withstand such an explosion!

If the ship is blown up, it will be difficult for the soldiers who fell into the water to be rescued on such a sea.

Huang Hua's tone changed a little, his voice sharp but hoarse yelling: "Use the Rockets! Use the Rockets to meet the enemy!"

His shouts finally woke many soldiers on his ship up.

Someone hurriedly ran to lift the turbulent barrel and took the bow and arrow.

At this time, it was obviously too late to untie the chain between ships.

Soon a fire appeared on the sea.

Rockets shot towards the boats one by one.

But it was still a bit too late after all.

Some small boats were already close to the sea warships, and rockets were shot out from the small boats following behind.

The dead soldiers on the boat actually didn't have much hope of survival, but after the boat approached the sea warship, they still jumped into the sea.

Some rockets shot onto the hay piled up by the boats.

The hay burned quickly.

In just less than two minutes, a deafening explosion finally rang out on the sea.

A huge ball of fire suddenly exploded.

The boat was broken in an explosion.
