Gui Xingfu said, "Last time, the fire didn't just destroy our fleet, but also Suo Lun's fleet. And our defeat was entirely due to Suo Lun's successful deception. Now with Suo Lun dead, Tianshui City is without a leader and will surely fall without a doubt."
Ling Ao asked, "Then where will our ships and navy come from?"
Gui Xingfu replied, "Luan Yang City, although the last great fire burned most of the Luan Yang City Fleet, assembling a hundred ships and ten thousand sailors is still not a problem. Zhi Li His Highness can intervene and borrow ten thousand sailors and a hundred ships from the Hai Family. Other coastal lords and cities, in order to curry favor with Zhi Li His Highness, will also lend some soldiers and ships—putting together more than thirty thousand sailors and three hundred ships in total. That will be more than enough to take back the Chaos Stone Island Salt Fields."
A wave of sorrow suddenly overwhelmed Ling Ao.
