Chapter 45: Night Talk at Sea

Xu Changqing and Cao Bianjiao and their entourage had not yet left the camp of the Ming army, and many Tartar rangers who had been watching not far away were instantly agitated, like wolves in the dark night, and they suddenly became active, quickly keeping an eye on the movements of the Ming army!

And as Xu Changqing and Cao Bianjiao and his party left the camp, they were even more furious, and they quickly followed.

Xu Changqing's brows furrowed tightly.

If you're targeted by these Tartar Rangers, then what's going on isn't fun, and if they find out, the whole plan might fall apart!

Cao Bianjiao noticed Xu Changqing's nervousness, but the corners of his mouth showed smug news, and he said: "Little rabbit cub, this little battle of bird feathers can scare you like this, it's really a shame for Lao Tzu!" Wait, look at your Uncle Cao and my means! ”

“……”

Xu Changqing was speechless for a while.

This old ruffian, can't he speak human words?

However, at this time, Xu Changqing didn't have time to pay attention to it.

Soldiers, you are fast!

Even if the motives are known by these Tartar rangers, it is difficult for these Tartars to determine their precise target!

The point is that although the moonlight is okay tonight and the visibility is good, the sky has been gloomy and gloomy, and it should be about to rain.

Once it rains, the speed of the Tartar Ranger's news transmission will definitely be affected, but in the sea, as long as it is not a storm, the problem is not big, and it is enough to be ahead of the Tartars, and this is enough!

Soon, hundreds of cavalry were approaching the front line of the Green Snake Forest.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao waved his hand and said to the commander of several pro-soldiers around him: "Sons, these dog Tartars are very annoying, and they have driven them away from Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!"

In an instant, more than 100 and nearly 200 pro-soldiers rode back, holding bows and arrows and various javelin axes, laughing and screaming one by one, and swept away the Tartar rangers who followed.

These Tartar rangers obviously didn't expect the Ming army to fight, and those who came to the real scene were all taken aback and quickly retreated.

"Wow~~!"

"Woohoo!"

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the strange cries of the soldiers, the neighing of the horses, the sound of the tyrannical hooves, and the flying sound of various blades suddenly broke the silence of the night.

Xu Changqing and Cao Bianjiao were on a small hillside at this time, and they were seeing this scene clearly, and for a while, Xu Changqing was also a little dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

These pro-soldiers and cavalry under the command of Cao Bianjiao are indeed inferior to these Tartar rangers on a large level, but they are also skilled in bowing and horses, and their quality is by no means weak!

Moreover, their structure is obviously more regular than that of the Tartar rangers, and the individual strength may not be as good as these Tartar rangers, but the group combat ability after a large number of people is definitely much stronger than these Tartar rangers!

This made it difficult to pose a threat to the Ming army again after a short trial between the two sides, and the Tartar rangers were suppressed on the whole line, and they could only run back desperately.

Cao Bianjiao seemed to be extremely proud of the elite blood under his command, and looked at Xu Changqing proudly, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was already revealed.

It's like saying, 'Look, boy, you're not even close.' ’

Regarding Cao Bianjiao's childlike provocation, Xu Changqing directly chose to ignore it, and after a while, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Cao, the Tartars are brave and extremely vicious, just drive them away, don't chase them rashly!" ”

How could Cao Bianjiao not understand what Xu Changqing meant? Suddenly, Xu Changqing glanced at Xu Changqing angrily: "Lao Tzu, why do you still need to teach?" ”

As he spoke, he said again: "The show is also over, I will stay in the Green Snake Forest tonight with these two hundred people, we have to hurry up here!" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that Cao Bianjiao, a veteran ruffian, definitely brought more than five hundred people tonight, and this guy was already prepared!

Seeing that Cao Bianjiao had prepared everything, Xu Changqing was too lazy to worry about the red tape with this veteran ruffian, so he was busy greeting everyone and quickly swept towards the Green Snake Forest.

When the group arrived at the Green Snake Forest, Uncle Guang, Zhao Zengjin, Zhang Hu, and Zhao Qiliang were already ready!

Carefully instructed Uncle Hao Guang to stay behind and take care of the horses, Xu Changqing and Cao Bianjiao and the others quickly boarded the boat.

Because all of them are light and simple, in just ten minutes, each person is on board, the two sides total more than 700, nearly 800 people, but there are more than 100 bamboo rafts of all kinds, each bamboo raft can only carry five or six, seven or eight people, quite spacious.

Soon, the huge fleet sailed directly to the offshore sea route and disappeared from view from the shore.

At this time, the sky also began to float a vast amount of rain, so that the visibility suddenly weakened, and the waves began to become turbulent, which was not too easy to control the bamboo raft.

However, with Zhang Hu and Zhao Qiliang, who have been trained to become veteran fritters, and the sons and daughters under Xu Changqing have experience in controlling bamboo rafts, it is not a big problem.

The fleet was soon on the right course and headed north.

Xu Changqing was also a little relieved at this time, and just wanted to say a few words to Cao Bianjiao beside him, when he suddenly found ......

Although this veteran ruffian is sitting upright, sitting on a bamboo chair full of momentum, as if he is under control, but ~~, his two legs are shaking back and forth unconsciously, which is obviously not a normal relaxed rhythm....

Xu Changqing suddenly couldn't say how funny it was for a while.

This veteran ruffian, I thought that this guy was really not afraid of the sky and the earth, but I didn't expect this little wind and waves, this guy is like this.

But even if he was extremely funny in his heart, Cao Bianjiao was an elder after all, and Xu Changqing was not easy to mess around, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cao, my bamboo raft is still very strong, as long as it is not that kind of extraordinarily big storm, it is not a big problem!" Moreover, although we are in the deep sea at this time, it is only the shallowest deep sea, and even if something terrible happens, we can return to the offshore sea at any time, and it will be fine. ”

Cao Bianjiao immediately stared at Xu Changqing's eyes with great displeasure, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.

Although this guy looks a little reckless, he is actually better than a monkey!

He is gradually adapting to the rhythm of the bamboo raft.

Moreover, looking at Xu Changqing's young man's light and handsome face, Cao Bianjiao also had some indescribable taste in his heart for a while.

God knows, how much effort this kid has put in to get to where he is today.

Pity him, who is an uncle, and he hasn't helped much......

Seeing Cao Bianjiao's face change, Xu Changqing also closed his mouth with interest and didn't say anything more.

With Lao Cao, Xu Changqing has long been accustomed to this silence.

But in this silence, the two can get some kind of deeper communication, which is difficult to describe with outsiders.

In the silence, the time came quietly.

At this time, Xu Changqing and his party had sailed north for fifty or sixty miles, and many rowing boys were sweating profusely even if they were drenched in the rain, but none of them were tired, and almost no one spoke.

It's only twenty or thirty miles away from the destination!

Cao Bianjiao had already adapted to the rhythm of the bamboo raft at this time, and was even more accustomed to the sea, and finally spoke, and said in a low voice: "Boy, your gang of people is good, in such a short time, it has reached this level, it is not easy!" ”

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, and said with a wry smile in a low voice: "Uncle Cao, this is also a matter of no choice, I can only force the sons and daughters to bear more things." ”

Along the way, although many of Cao Bianjiao's pro-soldiers are of good quality, there are also many who scream and scold their mothers, and it was Xu Changqing who made Cao Bianjiao give orders several times in succession, and they honestly quieted down.

Relatively speaking, these sons and daughters under Xu Changqing have a significantly more thorough understanding and understanding of military discipline, and they have been quiet from beginning to end.

It seems that even if it is Cao Bianjiao's personal guards and soldiers, there are still many things that need to be improved!

Xu Changqing, a new team that has just been practicing for a few days, let alone that.

Cao Bianjiao nodded, glanced at the many children who were dressed in tattered clothes and leaning together to keep warm on the many bamboo rafts around him, and said with a long sigh: "The state affairs are difficult, and there are many things, and we can only grit our teeth and hold on." ”

Seeing that Cao Bianjiao seemed to have the meaning of speaking, Xu Changqing also came to the spirit, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Cao, what do you mean by the governor's side?" When did this battle begin? ”

Along the way, although the two of them competed openly and secretly, this kind of competition did not destroy the tacit understanding between the two, but made this tacit understanding deeper.

At this time, seeing that Cao Bianjiao was in a good mood, Xu Changqing naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and wanted to get something more accurate from Cao Bianjiao's side.

Cao Bianjiao glanced at Xu Changqing, but he didn't speak in a hurry, thought for a while, and then said, "Boy, what do you think?" I've heard that you've impressed Hongdu with a lot of things before? ”

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Uncle Cao, in front of you, how dare the little nephew say nothing, the things I talked to Hong Du about are often ducks on the shelves, and they can't be true." ”

Xu Changqing's words are not completely fake, after all, who is Hong Chengchou? How could Xu Changqing be arrogant enough to directly change his thinking, no wonder he was still acting on the spot and pushing the boat along the water!

Let's not talk about how much this can play a role in Hong Chengchou, let's just say that even if Hong Chengchou approves of Xu Changqing's ideas, but~, the general trend is here, Hong Chengchou can go against the general trend of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, as well as the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, listen to him Xu Changqing?

Cao Bianjiao glanced at Xu Changqing again, and nodded slowly: "It's not bad that you kid can have this awareness." Hongdu this man ......"

Cao Bianjiao said, looking at the deep sea in the rainy night, for a moment, then turned around, looked at Xu Changqing again, and said: "Boy, you must have a rod and scale in your heart!" The future that Hongdu is giving you now, perhaps...... It's not really a good future. ”

“……”

How could Xu Changqing not understand Cao Bianjiao's deep meaning? This is definitely a heart-wrenching statement!

After a while, Cao Bianjiao, who was busy, got closer, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Cao, you, are you not optimistic about this battle?" ”

Cao Bianjiao glanced at Xu Changqing: "Little rabbit cub, you are more clever than a monkey, and then pretend to be stupid in Lao Tzu's face, Lao Tzu will directly throw you into the sea!" What a heroic man is your father, righteous and cloudy? How can there be such an unsuccessful son as you? ”

Saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to Xu Changqing, and said in a low voice: "How many years has the situation of Liaodi, who can't understand it?" This time, the picture of the Tartar is obviously not small, and it has been several years of work! If you put the front line on the front line of Ningyuan, I'm not too worried, but~, put it on the front line of Songjin, donkey ball, this is a little fucking not fun! ”

Xu Changqing's brows suddenly wrinkled even tighter.

Cao Bianjiao's worries are probably also the worries of the vast majority of the nine-sided generals, including those insightful among the literati!

After all, the Qing army besieged Jinzhou, this is the encirclement point to send reinforcements, please enter the urn!

And Daming's side, knowing that it is a dead end, but he has to drill this dog sleeve, who can the hell say this kind of thing?

Seeing Xu Changqing frowning, Cao Bianjiao's expression was slightly soothed, and he patted Xu Changqing's shoulder and whispered, "Boy, you don't have to worry too much. Emaciated camels are bigger than horses! I'm Ming, it's been declining in the past few years, but the foundation is still here! Those dog tartars want to take too much advantage, and it's not that easy!

Also, your idea of taking the sea route is very good, you can study it carefully! At that time, if there is a chance, I will try to find a good incision for you, and you should try to prepare well in advance! ”
