Chapter 455: Splint Watch
Huo Qinglin's face was already pale, Mo said that at such a distance, his fleet had already been included in the artillery range of the Kuntou ship, and the other party only needed to smash any of his ships with a slight collision.
"Senior brother, you actually have a foreign enemy?"
"I said, I'm not an enemy, and neither am I." Su Xiaochen pointed to the Kuntou ship, his tone still calm.
"If you are not an enemy, why use artillery to intimidate? Do you think that if the design tricks me into the range of the Kuntou's guns, I will obediently bow down and surrender! ”
Su Xiaochen knows very well that Huo Qinglin will never have the word submission in his bones, and the brave general has never been heroic in suppressive combat, but tenacious in adversity. Huo Qinglin is a typical example of Ning Wei's broken jade.
Facing Huo Qinglin's fierce questioning, Su Xiaochen still did not panic.
"Senior brother, you misunderstood. The Kuntou ship is here, so close to the senior brother's main ship, not to intimidate, but to let you see someone. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the bow of the Kuntou ship.
Huo Qinglin looked up and vaguely saw a man sitting in a wheelchair at Su Xiaochen's point, escorted by several soldiers with torches around him, and behind the wheelchair there was a woman standing looking down.
Although the person in the wheelchair couldn't see clearly from a distance, there was an indescribable familiarity.
"Who's that?"
"Senior brother, it's already close at hand, it's time for you to go up to pay a visit, and you didn't let the master deign to get off the boat and come to explore your truth in person, right?"
"What?! You mean...... Teacher, he ......, "Huo Qinglin couldn't believe his eyes.
Wasn't Mu Yunyou buried on the west side of the imperial capital a long time ago? I heard that the funeral ceremony on the day of the state funeral was presided over by the Holy God himself. I happened to be out with my troops and couldn't come back, but how could people who had been buried in the ground in full view of everyone come back from the dead?
"This can't be, you must have found someone to pretend to be a ghost and fool me! You're trying to trick me out of the main ship! Huo Qinglin suddenly pulled out his sword and put it on Su Xiaochen's shoulder and roared: "Say, what are your intentions!" ”
"Senior brother, don't you still understand what happened? In this world, who can know the strategy of the surprise attack so clearly, and can instantly and accurately guess from so many ships that the senior brother has hoarded the grain on the Wu and Geng numbers, except for the Taishi himself? ”
"But! Teacher, he has obviously ......"
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I ......" Huo Qinglin was speechless for a while, but he still couldn't believe it: "The teacher is the Taishi of my Cangwu Kingdom, and he is in a high position, how can he be on that Kuntou ship?!" ”
"Mu Yun's strategy is strange and varied, and the Taishi is even more far-sighted, and I can't guess and understand, since the senior brother has doubts, why don't you board the Kuntou ship and ask the Taishi face to face? If I want to be unfavorable to my senior brother and the Cangwu army, why should I risk my life to get on the ship to find my senior brother? The Kuntou ship after the fog has been hidden for a long time, as long as Liu Mingyan gives an order, the senior brother's main ship has already been bombed to pieces, how can you have you and I drink tea and talk leisurely for most of the hour? ”
Huo Qinglin looked at Su Xiaochen suspiciously, and then looked at the person in the high place, and he had no idea for a while.
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from above: "General Huo, Taishi, please come on the boat for a while." ”
The voice was unmistakably majestic.
Huo Qinglin immediately recognized that it was Princess Zhu Yuxiao of Yinquan.
It was she who was pushing
The wheelchair accompanied the Taishi, but I didn't expect the Taishi to be still there......
Huo Qinglin couldn't find any reason to question it, and finally slowly withdrew the sword.
The night was like paint, and the sea was silent.
Tens of thousands of soldiers watched as the commander Huo Qinglin took a few personal generals and followed the silver-clothed scholar who didn't know who it was to board the giant ship.
It didn't take much time for the following generals to return to the ship's formation.
They brought the latest directives from the manager.
"Stop the ship and put the army on standby."
The directive is clear, but it leaves room for everyone's imagination.
However, when the generals conveyed the order, they did not have the nervous look they had when they boarded the ship, or they had to be more relaxed.
There were also people who faintly heard the generals talking in secret, as if they were speculating that there was no need to go east.
At the moment of tension with the Kuntou ship, the soldiers of Cangwu felt that their lives were hanging by a thread, but it was really shocking that there was a figure in the world who made this behemoth meekly stop on the surface of the sea with a word.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Kuntou, amazement and fear mingled in whispers. No one noticed that there was a black serpentine ship lurking in the sea not far from the Cangwu ship array.
On the bow of the serpentine ship, Zhu Zhitong watched from afar at this scene on the sea, and behind her stood a man and a woman, who were none other than Liuxia Zhuzi Shou Qiuyueshi and Liu Mingyan, the governor of southern Xinjiang.
A few days ago, Ah Kui took Zhu Zhitong's secret letter with a seal to the Governor's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang. After reading the secret letter, Liu Mingyan only took less than three hours to gather all the troops of the Baisha Battalion that could be dispatched, boarded the Kuntou ship and left southern Xinjiang.
Liu Mingyan's speed and decisiveness seemed to be out of awe of Zhu Zhitong, but in fact, only she knew in her heart that this rescue was related to the survival of the entire Liuxia clan, if she was a step late, according to Qiu Yueshi's upright temperament, she was afraid that she would take the lead and die with the clansmen, which was something she didn't even want to think about.
It's easy to meet a good man, and you have to grasp what you say.
What's more, Liu Mingyan doesn't even have to hide her anxious look, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the duty of a courtier to be anxious, and it is definitely not a man who sticks to him, how can that kind of humiliating thing be done by the majestic Liu Mingyan?
However, the soldiers of the Baisha Battalion must not have imagined that since the moment Liu Mingyan got on the serpentine ship and saw Qiu Yueshi, he had become a bird. If it weren't for Zhu Zhitong suddenly asking, she almost didn't feel that she was watching the two armies face each other in front of her, but was standing on the bow of the boat with her sweetheart to admire the moon.
…… In fact, there was no moon that night.
Zhu Zhitong asked, "Governor Liu, how many people are actually on this Kuntou ship?" ”
"Three thousand...... Not yet. ”
"So little?!" Zhu Zhitong and Qiu Yue were quite surprised.
"Your Majesty, isn't this an emergency? If you want the boat to go fast, you can't carry so many people. ”
"But as far as the Kuntou ship is concerned, it won't slow down too much if it carries 10,000 more people, right?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know, it's really not that heavy for these 10,000 people alone, but if there are more 10,000 people, there will be more supplies for 10,000 people, and these supplies of grain and grass are not light. Moreover, when there are many people, even the number of men who cook rice and craftsmen who wash and sew in the army has also increased
Plus, add these seven-seven-eight-eighty-one, according to the speed of the Kuntou ship, it will take another five days to arrive. I'm afraid that by then, this Mei Longyu will not be able to eat it if it is still there. ”
Liu Mingyan said it as if she was an understatement, but it was a shock in Qiu Yueshi's ears.
He was also the one who commanded the fleet and knew the relationship between the ship's supply and the speed of the ship. In order to allow the red-haired pirates to effectively harass the Blue Sea Country, he secretly knew a lot about the Kuntou ship. Three thousand people is already the number of soldiers needed to squeeze the Kuntou ship to the limit, and it is really impossible to be less.
And if Huo Qinglin knew that what he was facing was actually just an empty ship with only one-twentieth of his own strength, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
Taking such a risk to send the greatest combat power of the Blue Sea Country to the front of the battle, this affection is not invaluable. In addition to thanking Zhu Zhitong, the Governor Liu in front of him has made great contributions.
"Governor Liu......" Qiu Yueshi was about to say something of thanks, but was interrupted by Liu Mingyan.
"Xiao Shi, you don't have to thank me. Didn't we speak before that? Next time, let me get on your serpentine ship and take a look, and now that you've done what you say, let's settle it. ”
Xiao Shi...... Qiu Yue really couldn't cry or laugh, this is the first person to call him like this in his life.
Liu Mingyan suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Your Majesty, I have seen this Master Su be able to speak well, but is he really good at leading the army to fight?" You must know that Huo Qinglin is also a battle-hardened veteran, if he is a soldier on paper, I am afraid that he will not be able to hide it for long. ”
Zhu Zhitong smiled slightly: "He is not a soldier on paper, you know the battle of Linzhou City." That battle was actually led by him personally. ”
"What!" Liu Mingyan was taken aback, and then raised her eyebrows: "It turned out that he caused my Bihai Kingdom to destroy the city!" Your Majesty, you must know that the four generals of the blue sea and the iron flowers beside His Majesty the Emperor all died in Linzhou City! "There was a lot of hostility in his eyes.
"You're wrong about him. Although it was Da Su who planned to attack the city, he had already racked his brains to reduce the casualties of my soldiers in Bihai, or he secretly sent the patriarch of the blade clan, Rob, into the fire and thunder pit of the mother emperor to remove a trouble. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the great witch god Wen Lan, but unfortunately Wen Lan had a big life and escaped. And if it weren't for him, the mother emperor wouldn't even be able to escape from Linzhou City. Oh, by the way, the iron flower you just talked about, and the silver flower beside me, are all fine works sent by Wen Lan to lurk for many years, and it is not a pity to die. ”
Zhu Zhitong looked at the sea, sighed and said: "In fact, in the final analysis, the mother emperor has the idea of burning Linzhou City to the ground from the beginning, but I am afraid that the blue sea four generals will fight for their lives is also out of the will of the mother emperor, and after all, it is not to blame Da Su's head." ”
Liu Mingyan listened in obscurity.
She knows Emperor Ming's temperament that abandoning the car at a critical moment to protect the handsome is very similar to what the Zhu family will do. She is also a Bihai Zhu family, and she knows that this kind of thing is too similar to Emperor Ming's style.
"It's just...... After all, he is different from when he was in Linzhou City, and now he is alone, can he really make Huo Qinglin obedient? ”
"You have to believe in Da Su, and you have to believe in your aunt. My aunt has seen far more storms than I am, and with her help, this plan should work. ”
"Then Huo Qinglin obediently took the soldiers back to Cangwu?"
"Not only that, Da Su wants to take Huo Qinglin for his own use." Zhu Zhitong turned her head to the two and smiled: "Perhaps, it can also help us." ”
