Chapter 372: They Can't

Zhao Hao's calmness has already made the ministers secretly admire, and his analysis is confusing, how does His Majesty know that Zhang Hongfan is trapped in the shallows? In particular, they all knew that His Majesty had never disembarked from the ship, and the guards were also surrounded in the water village and did not send a sentry boat, plus they only knew that the enemy was coming, and they did not know anything about the details, let alone tell the emperor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But His Majesty's words are conclusive, and his analysis is reasonable, so they can't help but believe it.

"Lu Xiang, Your Majesty has always anticipated the enemy first, saying that if there is no war today, there will be no one!" Liu Huang saw that everyone was suspicious, and said with a smile that he packed tickets for His Majesty.

"Why is Governor Liu so convinced, this is a matter of life and death, but it is not a joke." Lu Xiufu said solemnly.

"If you don't believe it, you can send troops to check it, and you can see if it's right or not." Liu Huang chuckled indifferently, still having no doubt about what His Majesty said.

"Mao Shilang, you immediately take the sentinel boat to check, remember not to get too close, and return after finding out the enemy's situation!" Lu Xiufu recognized the truth and asked Mao Xiang to check it out in person.

"Alas, the warplanes are delayed, at this time, whether it is true or not, the army should be sent forward, if what Your Majesty said is true, only a few fireships can be burned clean, why bother thinking about the enemy's strategy here!" Mao Xiang got off the boat, and one of the people sitting in the corner sighed as if talking to himself.

"General Liu, you have drunk too much again, don't talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty!" Lu Xiufu frowned and turned to speak.

"Who is this person?" Zhao Hao looked at the person who was very faced, he was about fifty years old, tall, with a short beard on his face, a wrinkled court dress that seemed to have not been sorted out for many days, and his body exuded a decadent atmosphere, he quietly asked Liu Huang Dao beside him.

"Your Majesty, this person is Liu Shiyong, who served as a sanitation officer with military exploits, and was later promoted to the defense envoy of Changzhou. Liu Di said softly.

"Oh, I've heard about it, and it's a shame to leave it idle now when it's time to hire people." Zhao Yu looked at Liu Shiyong and said regretfully. He knew that Zuo Wei Zhonglang would belong to the Wusan Officer, one of the sanitation officers. Sanitation is the meaning of the guard, called the guard, there is no position, no fixed number, all to the clan to fill, but also to take measures to idle military ministers, and the role of reserve generals, in fact, it is an idle position. The battle of Changzhou was fought very hard, after the city was broken, the Mongolian army slaughtered the city, only eighteen people survived, Liu Shiyong as the main general can beat the Mongols in a hurry, it is by no means an ordinary person.

"Land Phase...... Alas! Liu Shiyong wanted to argue a few words, but he sighed and stopped talking, and drank tea without saying anything.

"Lu Xiang is indeed wrong to blame General Liu!" Zhao Yu took over the conversation and said, "Today is the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and the tide will be rising at the end of the day, and now it is the hour of the hour. ”

"Your Majesty knows this, why don't you send troops there?" Liu Shiyong suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor when he heard this.

"Hehe, the general is a general without soldiers, I am the emperor without power, it's like a fart when I say it!" Zhao Hao said with a dry laugh. However, the moment he saw his questioning, his eyes were shining, and his body exuded a compelling aura, which was indeed the momentum of a hundred battle generals.

"Haha, Your Majesty's words are very happy, if there is wine, it should be a fart and drink three glasses!" Liu Shiyong laughed when he heard this.

"General Liu, Your Majesty must not be rude in front of you!" Lu Xiufu reprimanded, but he was also embarrassed, because both of them said it well.

"Didn't General Liu underestimate me, how could there be no wine on this ship!" Zhao Yu ignored Lu Xiufu and said to himself, "Wang De, go and get a good wine for General Liu!" ”

"It's best to have some jerky with wine!" Liu Shiyong said with a smile.

"Okay, just get some more jerky!" Zhao Hao immediately agreed.

Soon the wine and meat were delivered, and Liu Shiyong was not polite to chew the dried meat in his corner and pour himself a drink, although everyone looked at it and felt that it was unseemly, but this was granted by the emperor, and there was only the share of spittle. And what made them even more uncomfortable was His Majesty's words just now, which was rough and unreasonable, and now that his status was threatened, he came to the emperor, but did he really want his pro-government to have the final say? Touching their conscience, no one has this plan, and the emperor is a pawn to balance power in their eyes at this time.

After waiting for about an hour, the sergeant who struck the military intelligence came back and reported that about 300 enemy ships were trapped in the shallows on the north side of the island in the early hours of the morning, unable to make it out. Lu Xiufu and the others were very excited when they heard this, and hurriedly asked people to report the situation detected by the sentry to Zhang Shijie, and asked him to send warships to attack and annihilate the enemy in the shallows. When they issued an official document and arranged the personnel, they found that His Majesty and Liu Shiyong in the corner did not know when they disappeared, and asked the guards on duty to find that the two had already gone to the deck of the cabin......

"Now that the warships are dispatched, they may be able to catch up with a tail, although they can't annihilate the enemy brigade, but they can also destroy a few enemy ships to boost morale, how can Your Majesty say that it was a trip for nothing?" Lu Xiufu and several courtiers went to the deck and saw the two standing on the high platform 'side by side', Liu Shiyong was still carrying the wine jar chattering as if arguing with His Majesty, he wanted to come forward to drink, but was stopped by Liu Huang and signaled him not to disturb.

"General Liu, you see, they sent all large warships, and there are many of them, and their actions must be slow, and when the whole team goes to sea, they are afraid that the tide will be enough to get them out of trouble, and seeing that they are cautious, they are afraid and dare not catch up, let alone sink a few enemy ships, I am afraid that when they arrive, there will be no hair!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that the tide is rising now, our army is fast with the current, and the enemy army is slow to move against the current, and we can always catch up!" Liu Shiyong took a sip of wine and said.

"What General Liu said is true, and I also believe that if General Liu leads it, he may be able to capture a few enemy ships, but they can't." Zhao Hao chuckled.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Liu Shiyong didn't know why His Majesty was so elevated himself, and asked suspiciously.

"Because General Liu dared to fight, they didn't dare. This place is more than 20 miles away from the waterway, and large warships can travel 15 miles per hour at the fastest speed along the current and wind, and it takes an hour and a quarter of an hour to reach the place where the enemy ships are trapped. And after an hour they reached the full tide, and the enemy ships used this time to get out for the most part, as the general said, they could catch a tail, but they were afraid that they would not dare to pursue, for fear of being entangled by the enemy, and once the tide fell, they would not be able to return to the inland sea, so I said that they would only return empty-handed! Zhao Yu said.

"Shhh...... Your Majesty's analysis is exact, is there no way to do it as Your Majesty said? Liu Shiyong lowered his head and groaned for a moment, nodded and asked.

"Hehe, what's the use of saying it, we're just talking on paper!" Zhao Hao smiled a little helplessly...... (To be continued.) )
