"Official, official, report urgently before the battle!"

"I'll be there soon!" Zhao Yu sat up when he heard the call.

"Official, it's still early!" Wang Yu rubbed her eyes and looked out the window, it was still dark, and she said in a daze.

"There is an urgent military situation, and it cannot be delayed!" Zhao Yu lifted the quilt and kissed Wang Yu's face.

"Official, let's change your clothes!" At this time, the candlelight flickered, and the maid heard the voice, came in and lit the candlesticks in the house one by one.

"You guys put it down and go out, this palace is waiting for the official family to dress!" Wang Yu also got up and said.

"No need, I can do it myself, it's still early, you can sleep for a while!" After the pleasure, the lazy appearance of the beauty under the candlelight was even more fascinating, and Zhao Hao could only swallow his saliva and let him lie down and pull up the quilt.

"When will the official family come back, the concubine is waiting for you!" Wang Yu was also sore now, nodded with shame and chuckled.

"Good, good!" Zhao Yu patted his face, turned around and got out of bed ruthlessly. I secretly thought that this was really a little goblin, and I let myself be addicted to it and couldn't extricate myself. But he didn't know that before the girls in ancient times got married, someone would educate them before marriage, and the teaching aids were often colored pictures, so that they would not be too flustered. And after entering the palace, there will be special training for the selected concubines and concubines to teach the art of currying favor with the emperor, but unfortunately he is stupid and thinks that people are born with charming bones!

Urgent reporting does not stay overnight, which is the rule set by Zhao Yu when he was in Qiongzhou. At that time, he was outnumbered and had no strategic depth, and the enemy appeared under his nose, so once there was an enemy situation, he had to deal with it in time. After recovering Jiangnan, his anxiety still did not subside, and although the area was not as narrow as Qiongzhou, the danger was still not far away. There is only one Yangtze River to rely on in the north of Lin'an, and the east is close to the sea.

On the other hand, there was no radio in this era, and information transmission also needed to rely on manpower and horsepower, and even if the remote border areas were delivered to Lin'an at the fastest speed, it would take two or three days at least to more than ten days, and they were affected by the weather and road traffic conditions. Therefore, the battle report delivered to Zhao Yu was many days late, and the situation on the battlefield was often changing rapidly, and the war was often already in place when he received the news. The news here has been delayed for many days, and the situation of the battle has changed in the time of coming and going.

Therefore, Zhao Yu thought that the sooner he could get the news, the sooner he could make a decision, and then put it into practice, and he knew that the fighter plane was fleeting, and sometimes even if he fought for it, or wasted half a day, it could change the outcome of a war. The rule of not staying overnight in such an emergency was also brought to Lin'an. The soldiers defending the city must not stop the post guards or soldiers who deliver urgent news, and the people and officials must get out of the way.

Even if the city gate cannot be opened at night, the post guard can be hung on the head of the city and sent to the palace urgently. After verifying his identity, the guards guarding Miyagi would send the emergency report to the officers of the guard battalion on duty as soon as possible, and then hand it to the inner guards who were only one door away, and they would send it to the emperor, so that he could see the situation ahead as soon as possible so that he could deal with it on the spot.

"Official, the small one has been verified, and it is a battle report sent by Dong Dutong." Wang De had already made people light candles, and when he saw the emperor come out, he immediately presented the way.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yu took it and lit the candle, and saw that the fire seal of the seal was intact, there was no trace of it being opened, and the mark was also Dong Yicheng's private seal.

"Come with me!" Zhao Yu frowned and stood up, walked to the war room in the back hall, Wang De hurriedly turned on the lights and candles in the room one by one.

'Whew! Zhao Hao walked to a sand table, took off the cloth, took the candlestick and put it on the platform, marked the latest position of the enemy and me against the battle report, and then fell into deep thought. Wang De knew that the little emperor must not be disturbed at this time, and he didn't dare to breathe when he stood on the side, let alone ask out loud.

In fact, Dong Yicheng sent a new battle plan, and the first fleet of his territorial water army quickly seized the mouth of the Huai River according to the plan, blocking the Goryeo army in the open sea. Although there was no major battle between the two armies in the past few days, there were continuous skirmishes, and they were repulsed several tentative attacks, sinking six enemy ships and capturing three, which was a small victory.

Dong Yicheng learned through interrogation and capture that the enemy fleet was carrying tens of thousands of sailors to enter the inland from the mouth of the Huai River, then enter the canal, and then turn into the Yangtze River to attack Jiangnan. This confirmed their earlier judgment, and he also found that the enemy was short of baggage and that his food could only last for five days, so he at first intended to force him to retreat to Mingzhou by blocking the mouth of the river so that the enemy could not obtain his baggage, and then annihilate the enemy at sea in pursuit.

Zhao Hao has no opinion on his arrangement, and if he is himself, he will also use tired tactics to exchange the smallest price for the greatest victory. You must know that the sea surface is not many times larger than the river surface, and there are a lot of troops to be used to block Haikou, and the warships dispatched by Dong Yicheng's troops are all large and medium-sized warships, and there are only more than 400 warships. If the Goryeo navy took advantage of the high tide to break through, although it would pay some price, it would be able to escape.

However, Dong Yicheng recently discovered that Meng Yuanhui's return army appeared at the mouth of the sea, and although the two sides did not clash, he suspected that he wanted to unite with the Goryeo navy to attack him and receive the Goryeo navy into the Huai River. Therefore, he wanted to adjust his battle plan, hoping to annihilate the enemy's two naval forces at sea, so as to thwart the enemy's attack on his own side this time.

According to Dong Yicheng's readjusted plan, he was ready to choose an opportunity to concentrate most of his forces to attack the Goryeo naval army in the outer sea, and only leave a small number of warships at the mouth of the Huai River to set up a defensive line, so as to give Chen Bing's Meng Yuanhui naval army on the Huai River an opportunity to induce it to sail out of the sea. After the returning army sailed into the open sea, an ambush army was sent to re-block the entrance to the sea, so as to cut off the enemy's return route and fight a decisive battle with the enemy at sea.

Zhao Hao has no objection to this plan. First of all, from the current deployment of the enemy's troops, he did not find that after he launched a series of attacks and disturbances, he forced Boyan to give up the southern invasion plan, and at present, the main force of his Yangtze River water army is concentrated in Poyang Lake, and it is difficult for the enemy's central route army to do anything in the absence of means to cross the river, and at most it can only launch a restraining role.

In addition, in the western section of Ezhou, Xiakou and Hanyang at the mouth of the Han River, the forts have been built, obstacles have been set up in the middle of the river, mines have been arranged, and the entire river surface has been blocked. The two cities are opposite to Ezhou across the river, which is convenient for sending troops to reinforce, and there will never be a situation where the two cities of Xiangfan were besieged.

Therefore, Zhao Yu judged that Boyan pressed the treasure on the battlefield in the eastern section, where it can be said that most of the Mengyuan naval army was concentrated, and after the Goryeo naval army joined, the strength could reach 200,000. Once they successfully crossed the river from this section, they would be able to quickly march along the canal to Lin'an, which was undefendable, and recapture the richest Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

Therefore, as long as the Mengyuan naval army is annihilated, this counterattack can basically be ended, and Boyan can only look at Jiang Xing and sigh. Although Zhao Hao was a little regretful that he failed to cross the river to defeat the enemy, this is also the best choice at present. And the big exam is about to begin, so it can also calm people's hearts and avoid panic, so that he has no reason to disagree no matter what aspect he considers.

"Wang De, you immediately tell Tan Fei to send a group of guards to escort Ying Xi, who is on duty in the Imperial Front Office, to deliver this letter to the Bureau, and Feige to pass the book to Zhang Hao!" Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then made a deduction on the sand table, wrote an edict, asked Wang De to stamp the seal, and said after sealing it.

"The little ones will do it themselves right away!" Wang De Shili said.

"Well, let them change into ordinary sergeants' clothes after leaving Miyagi, be careful, don't show off!" Zhao Yu said another sentence and waved his hand to let him do it, while he stared at the sand table and fell into deep thought.

"Official, it's just past the ugly time, it's still early in the morning, and I can still rest for a while." Wang De turned back after finishing the matter, and saw that the little emperor was still in the study, and did not rest, so he stepped forward to remind.

"The big war is about to rise, and I can't sleep!" Zhao Hao stretched his waist and said.

"The official family shouldn't work too hard, Concubine Chen is still here!" Wang De smiled.

"Hmph, if Jiangnan is lost, there will be nothing!" Zhao Yu couldn't hear what he meant in his words, so he twisted his face and snorted. But I scolded in my heart, what do you know as a dead eunuch, you have no chance in your life, and you still come to provoke me!

"What the officials said is that the war in front of them is important, and it is not in a hurry." Wang De said with a smile.

"Wang De, is the boat in the lake still there?" Zhao Hao asked suddenly.

"Yes, it's hidden behind the stone boat...... Wang De replied immediately, but he realized something, "Official, aren't you going to leave the palace again?" ”

"The stakes are very high in this battle, and with a small number of enemies, I really can't rest assured!" Zhao Hao touched his chin and said.

"Official, spare the little ones!" Wang De was nervous when he heard this, and said with a sad face, "If the official family disappears after dawn, don't say that the queen mother can't get around the small ones, even a few mothers have to pick up small skins, and how to explain to Concubine Chen!" ”

"What are you afraid of, you follow me. The royal boat and the dragon boat were moored outside the water gate, and we boarded the boat into the sea without knowing it. When they found out, I had already arrived in the open sea, and no one could help us. Zhao Yu patted Wang De's shoulder and smiled.

"The official family is not afraid, but what can the little one do when he comes back? The official family just doesn't feel sorry for the little ones, they should also feel sorry for the concubine Niangniang! Wang De's face became even more bitter and pleaded. He knew very well that the little emperor was so uneasy, and he must have a critical situation ahead, so he thought about going to conquer again. Not to mention that the emperor has three long and two short, even if he scratches a little skin, these ladies will not let go of themselves.

"This ......" Zhao Yu lost his temper, he understood that Concubine Chen's mission here and sleeping by himself was also to watch himself, if he ran away secretly, his life would definitely not be easy, it would be too unusual. But the love between children and children is long, and he can't solve the problem, which makes him really embarrassed.

"Official, Deputy Commander Yang of the Guards Brigade on duty at the palace gate today, he can't get out of the water gate if he wants to take a boat." Wang De said softly.

"This thing will definitely not be hidden for me!" Zhao Yu touched his chin again.

"The official family, this is the will of God, don't let the official family get into danger!" Wang De persuaded again.

"Then how do you convince Boyan that I want to lead reinforcements to the battle?" Zhao Yu looked Wang Deyan up and down.

"Official ......" Wang De was furious by the little emperor's eyes, and took a step back.

"Has there been a palace detective who has bought news in the palace?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Official, although there are spies who offer high prices to the small ones to buy the news, but the little ones have never done such a thing!" Wang De hurriedly argued.

"I didn't say that you sold the news, what are you panicking about!" Zhao Yu said, "I mean that you have ever found out that the people in the palace are buying and selling. ”

"Official ......" Wang De hesitated, this question is really difficult to answer, if it is said that there is himself as the chief of the inner house, it is a dereliction of duty, if it is not, obviously it will not be able to pass, he gritted his teeth and said, "The small royal is not strict, there is a small yellow door in the palace that may have a connection with the palace detectives, but no one has been stolen." However, this man was only a low-class officer in charge of the carriage and horses, and he would not know anything secret. ”

"Okay, then you will reveal the news to him tomorrow, saying that I will go to Dantu to supervise the battle in the near future, and ask him to promise to spread the news as soon as possible, but remember to pretend to leak it unintentionally, and don't let him notice that something is wrong!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"Official, the little one understands, tomorrow I will go to the Carriage and Horse Courtyard for a walk. But ......," Wang said. But when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, the little emperor deliberately leaked his whereabouts, wouldn't he also leak the secret at the same time!

"Don't ask too much, just do it yourself, you will have a great chance of winning in the future!" Zhao Hao smiled.

The battle plan formulated by Dong Yicheng seems to be perfect, but in fact, Zhao Yu still found a loophole, and that is time. He was well aware of the fact that the direction of the wind and tides had a great influence on the warship. Just now, he sent a letter to the Imperial Navy and ordered it to sail overnight to support Dong Yicheng's troops, but at present, the southeast wind prevails, and its northward movement is a headwind, even if it is day and night, it may take nearly two days to reach the battlefield. And this battle is used as a surprise soldier, and it takes longer to hide its tracks.

If Meng Yuanhui wanted to enter and exit the sea to attack Dong Yicheng's army, the best time was when the sea water was low, not only could it smoothly pass through the sediment accumulation area of the estuary, but also could use the impact of the tide. But now it is the second day of the first lunar month, and the time of low tide happens to be around midnight, and the sky is just bright, so as to avoid night battles that are not good at. Then the Imperial Navy will not be able to catch up with the battlefield no matter what, and he must try to buy them two or three days......
