"Yes. The above allows us to withdraw, but it will take some time." The colonel replied.

"I really don't know, what the above thought caused us to lose such a big place." Wang Ben was obviously not convinced.

"Sir. I understand, but after all, there is no Qin power there. It is too wild." The colonel said.

"In such a place, there is no need for development at all," the colonel said.

"Are we going to stay?" Wang Ben asked.

"No, the above is stepping up the infantry reinforcements. About two divisions of the Army will arrive here. At the same time, we and the First Infantry Division will take the initiative to retreat. The First Infantry Division is maimed. They need to rest." Colonel. Said at this time.

"En. Then take a break. "At this time. Seen for Wang Ben.

With the arrival of Qin's cavalry. The Qin army had mobile power to attack the Qiang cavalry, and under the guarantee of high mobility, especially the stable support of the Qin infantry who followed. The Qiang people gradually withdrew from the Qilian Mountains. After all, their logistical guarantees cannot support them in this way. Although their logistics came from looting, and the horses had no source of logistics after they penetrated into the territory of Qin, Qin implemented a strict scorched earth policy, and the Qiang reluctantly withdrew from the territory of Qin.

"Have you heard, those nobles are clamoring to send troops to Qi country." said Ying Chu, carrying his hand on his back.

"Hey." Xiang Yan couldn't help but shook his head slightly when he heard such news.

"These nobles, Qi is not so easy to defeat. Although Qi has weakened a lot in the civil strife, Tian Heng's army has expanded greatly. If at this time, Chu suddenly sends troops to fight, then this army It will come in handy." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"En. What the general analyzed is." Ning Chu nodded in approval.

"So, what should we do next? Does the general have a countermeasure?" Ning Chu asked again at this time.

"Wait. Only to wait." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"Wait?" Ning Chu asked at this time.

"Yes. My son, our army can only wait. Nowadays, the noble power is still very large, especially, the power of Li Yuan is expanding very fast. In the middle of the road, our army has no power to resist, so our army can only attack from the side. There is no chance for a positive breakthrough," Xiang Yan said.

"En." Ning Chu nodded in approval.

"Our army is still very weak. Qin State Bank has not yet provided us with loans. We still need to rapidly expand and prepare for war, but we still lack sufficient strength to fight against the noble army." Xiang Yan said.

"En. That's right. How about the warships that our army went out to capture those coastal strongholds?" Ning Chu asked at this time.

Ning Chu thought of a way at this time. The size of Chu's navy is rapidly expanding, but they don't have much financial resources. For example, they have no minerals, no trading bases, and no merchant ships to provide them with sufficient financial support. Not only that, they even collect only a small portion of taxes, but their expenditure on arms expansion and war preparations far exceeds. Their income level.

"Not good." Xiang Yan replied, shaking his head.

"The fleet sent by our army has been destroyed, but the noble navy is no longer arrogant. They all took refuge. Highly guarded, although our army has been destroyed, our army has gained prestige." Xiang Yan said reluctantly. .

"En." Hearing this news, Ning Chu felt unbelievable.

"How long will it take for our army to recover?" Ning Chu asked at this time.

"It takes a long time. After all, shipbuilding and crew training require time. The most important thing is that Qin Guo's loan has not yet arrived." Xiang Yan said helplessly at this time.

The situation mentioned by Xiang Yan is exactly the current situation of the Chu State navy. The Chu State navy finally assembled a small fleet of warships, but it was quickly wiped out in front of the enormous power of the nobles. The morale of the aristocratic navy soldiers has plummeted. However, the main force of the aristocratic navy was still not annihilated, but they did not go to war. The situation of the Chu State navy suffered an unprecedented loss, which was already considerable for them.

"Look at those aristocratic naval forces. Among the water villages, they dare not go to war." An armed merchant ship of Chu State quietly sailed past the aristocratic naval water villages. That is their home port. A Chu State sailor stood on the bow and watched the huge ships anchored in the harbor.

"Those are a bunch of waste wood." An old sailor walked over and said.

"They are afraid of going to sea, and there is nothing they can do with such courage," the old sailor said at this time.

"En." The sailor nodded looking at the large warships.

With the Chu State navy all anchored in the water village, merchant ships from various countries began to sail freely on the Yangtze River without any inspection. At this time, the noble merchant ships and warships had to rush and hide because of orders. Although they knew that it might be Chu's navy, they did not have enough evidence after all. They just speculated that it was Chu. Navy. There is no direct evidence to prove it.

In Qin's North Port, those Korean warships once again disguised as large merchant ships and sailed into Qin's North Port Commercial Wharf.

"Anything to find this time?" A Korean businessman asked on the sofa in a hotel run by a Korean.

"Yes. We found an island. This island seems to be the island we were looking for." At this time, the captain of the Queen excitedly reported the news.

"Very well, we finally found that island. This island is of great significance to us." The South Korean businessman said excitedly.

"Have you marked the latitude and longitude?" This time. The South Korean businessman asked.

"This voyage record has detailed coordinates." The captain of the Queen said calmly.

"En. The Xinzheng is still there, right?" the Korean businessman asked.

"Yes," said the captain of the Queen.

"Very good, I will report to the above, I will send a larger fleet to find them there, where we are going to build a base. Naval base." The South Korean businessman said excitedly according to the captain.

This South Korean businessman is actually the representative of South Korea stationed here, and he will be fully responsible for all the affairs of the South Korean surface power here.

"You are doing well, you will get the Queen's personal awards, you will get knighthoods, medals, and many more." The Korean businessman said, shaking his hands.

Immediately, the captain of the battleship Queen withdrew.

"Tell me about your situation?" the merchant asked the Captain of Independence.

"We found an island, a group of islands composed of many small islands. There is a low group of people on the island. They are in a primitive tribal state." said the captain of the Independence.

"Do these islands have any economic value?" the merchant asked.

"I don't know. We did a detailed investigation and participated in the battle. This is the reason why we lost a lot. This is the reason why our first officer lost." The captain reported.

"Huh. Very good, you should have measured the accurate latitude and longitude coordinates, tell me the coordinates, and I will tell Xinzheng in time." The businessman said.

Immediately the captain handed over the voyage record book. The merchant then sent the telegram by telegram.

"This is our latest sailing situation. We discovered the island that our merchant discovered earlier. Not only that, but also a series of small islands. The specific coordinates of these islands are on the location where we found the big island. To the northeast." Han Fei's assistant reported with this important document at this time.

"I. I. Bring it here." Han Fei said excitedly.

"Yes. Prime Minister." The assistant quickly passed the report at this time.

"Huh." Han Fei read the report excitedly. Take a breath.

"You. You, you go out first." Han Fei stuttered after reading the report.

Subsequently, the report was forwarded to Han Shu. Han Shu felt extremely excited after seeing this report.

"We finally have our own base." Han Shu looked at the island and said excitedly.

The discovery of the island is of great significance to South Korea. This meaning is that they finally have their own base. In this way they can rise quickly and quickly.

"One of our businessman was killed in the country of Yan. Prime Minister. I think we need to send out Marines to solve this matter." said a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. The lieutenant colonel served as a security advisor in Shang Wen's cabinet. He is responsible for what happened to the people of Qin State abroad.

"Oh. My goodness." Shang Wen put down a document and said.

"Prime Minister, the personal safety of our Qin people has been seriously threatened. We must do something to maintain the current situation." said the security adviser, the Marine Corps lieutenant colonel.

"So, who did it?" Shang Wen asked. Shang Wen is very clear about this matter, but he does not want to use force to resolve this matter. So he asked.

"It's the people of Qi. The people of Qi did it." The security adviser replied.

"I know. But in the current situation, force cannot be used to solve the problem, and Qin is withdrawing troops, we are unable to cause another disaster." Shang Wen said.

"Prime Minister, if the media knows about this, it would be very unfavorable to us," said the security consultant.

"Huh." Shang Wen exhaled.

"But we can't help it. The people of Qi have just ended the civil strife. Such a matter is a public security issue. Not only that, if we send troops, we will gradually escalate the matter." Shang Wen said.

"If this goes on, it will be very unfavorable for us. However, we will first resolve this matter through diplomatic channels." Shangwen said.

"We have no diplomatic channels, Prime Minister." The security adviser said.
