Chapter 776: The cunning man is not better than the father, and the river is red
"Commander Chen, what do you mean!"
Chen Hua didn't speak, just stared at Zhang Yue. At this moment, Zhang Yue didn't get up, and looked at Chen Hua motionlessly for a while, and then asked: "Commander Chen came here with his head and blood, but it is a good demeanor!" Come on, come on, come on! ”
Seeing that the family general on the side went in response, and after a while, he brought up a pot of wine, Zhang Yue held the pot and poured wine, and did not even shake his hands, Chen Hua couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and immediately thought that Zhang Yue was the same as Zhang Yu before, and he was also a member of the British Gong Zhang Fu's family, and he couldn't help but feel terrified. Could it be that these people surnamed Zhang are really the nemesis of Jiaolu?
Seeing Zhang Yue smiling and raising the wine glass and handing it over, he took it with a calm face, and then drank it all without hesitation, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Zhang Mingjian, this guy was secretly brought up by those soldiers under my command, and after the ship was opened, he sneaked into my cabin and tried to persuade me to raise troops to rebel." Where would I fall for this, naturally I would be killed with a knife! However, half of my sailors are locals, and it is difficult to guarantee that they have not been encouraged, so I have to come to ask Master Zhang to show me what do you think! ”
Before Zhang Yue could answer, the door outside was suddenly pushed open, but Peng Shisan didn't even say hello, entered the cabin with a big grin, walked straight to Zhang Yue, bowed and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Lord Chen's boat is coming over, saying that he wants to cross the boat!" ”
Old Chen!
The human head was still rolling around on the floor in front of him, and the pine floor, which was dyed clean, was full of shocking red, and the people in the room were standing or sitting, whether they were angry or shocked or indifferent, all kinds of expressions were still on their faces and had not yet receded, so at first glance, Old Lord Chen, not only Shi An and Chen Yong were a little dazed, but even Chen Hua was stunned. The next moment, he suddenly woke up, and his gaze at Zhang Yue suddenly became a little more cold.
When did he hook up with his old father, who was nursing at home!
Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook suddenly, and the black white clouds fell to the ground at once, and there were countless ding-dong sounds. Chen Yong, who had just jumped up and questioned, stood unsteadily, and sat down on the seat just now. Shi An, who was still sitting, couldn't bear the violent bumps, so he had to hold on to the back of his head. Zhang Yue, who had been prepared, grabbed the armrests of the Taishi chair with both hands, sank his waist slightly, and sat firmly.
And under this sudden bump, Chen Hua, who has been in the navy since joining the army, only stood firm with a shake of his body, and Peng Shisan, who had slightly bent his knees and pierced the horse, was a little inferior. But compared with Chen Hua's nervousness and panic, Peng Shisan's no-nonsense smile could easily let people know who had the upper hand.
The next moment, there was one dull sound after another outside. In a short time, the sound turned into steady footsteps, and someone entered the cabin from outside. The man was in his early sixties, short in his fifth year, with faint knife-like wrinkles on his forehead and cheekbones on his face, and he squinted at one eye, but the other eye was full of fierceness. He was wearing the blue cloth shirt of an ordinary sailor, and his feet were also looking for ordinary black steps, and he was also a five-short figure, but when he stood there and opened his mouth, it was impossible to ignore it.
He raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes fell on Zhang Yue, and then he looked at Peng Shisan, and when he nodded slightly, he took two steps forward, and actually met him with a court counselor: "The last general Chen Feng, see Lord Zhang." ”
When Zhang Yue saw Chen Feng the night before, he was scarred, because he was too weak, and even his speech was intermittent. However, after only two days of recuperation on the boat, in addition to his pale, he looked no different from ordinary people, Zhang Yue admired it in his heart. It's just that he didn't expect this veteran to suddenly give a big salute, and he was a little caught off guard.
He hurriedly got up and stretched out his hand, just holding the short old man who walked very fast. However, as soon as this hand held the person, he felt that he was outrageously wrong, if it wasn't for Peng Shisan next to him to help in time, he was almost dragged down by the power of the long kneeling. It was easy to get people up, and he saw this old Chen Feng raise his head and look at himself seriously, and finally grinned.
"Old Lord Chen and I are of the same grade, how can you make such a big gift?"
"The veteran once followed the British Gong to fight, and later served under Yang Wubo, but I didn't expect to see Lord Zhang again today. In a word, the veteran is really related to the Zhang family! Moreover, the Adult Counsellor for military affairs, I should have done this salute in the first place. Besides, the veteran has not thanked the veteran for saving his life. ”
Chen Feng and Zhang Yue talked and laughed for a while, and then as if they had just seen the foreign object under their feet, they frowned and stared at the person's head for a long time, and suddenly turned their heads to stare at Chen Hua: "What kind of mess is this, it has stained Lord Zhang's eyes, and he didn't hurry up and let people clean it up!" ”
Since Chen Feng got on the boat, Chen Hua's last bit of luck disappeared without a trace, and his face was no longer full of the vigor when he just entered the door, he agreed with a smile, bent down and grabbed the man's head, and walked out of the cabin quickly. He only heard a small sound of water outside, followed by a series of shouts, and in a short time, two of his own soldiers followed him back into the door, and busily knelt on the ground to wipe and clean up. It wasn't until the blood stains on the ground were basically cleaned up that Chen Hua looked at his father unnaturally.
"How did I get here?"
As soon as Chen Feng came in, Chen Yong took the initiative to give up his seat and stood behind Shi Yong, and Zhang Yue naturally invited him to sit on the opposite side of the chessboard. At this time, he looked at Chen Hua, who was full of embarrassment, and sneered and said, "If it weren't for Brother Peng who happened to bring someone to arrive, I would have run all the way from Jiaozhou Mansion before this, and I would have run in vain!" Did you know that someone was killing me halfway? ”
Although Chen Hua arranged for many cronies to watch his father at his home in Jiaozhou Mansion, he just didn't want his father to ruin his arrangement plan, and it was just that, so the word interception and killing really frightened him. He is Chen Feng's only son, and the father and son just have different views and ambitions, even if they fall out, they will not reach that point. Seeing that Chen Feng's face was cold and solemn, it didn't look like a joke, Chen Hua unconsciously sank his face, and then hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed.
"My son knows it's wrong!"
"Knowing your mistakes, you should say that you are guilty!" Chen Hua was annoyed, stepped forward and kicked Chen Hua over, and reprimanded viciously, "It doesn't matter if you hurt me, I'm afraid that you will hurt all the people in the family!" If you hadn't known how to kill this dog, I would have slaughtered you and thrown you into the river to feed the fish, and this sailor would still be the same thing without you! I taught you all the skills of this hand, but I didn't teach you to be ungrateful, arrogant, and arrogant...... You dog stuff that crawls inside and out! ”
Seeing that Chen Feng became more and more angry the more he scolded, and in the end he simply punched and kicked, Zhang Yue could only signal Peng Shisan to step forward and pull people away, and sent the father and son out. Seeing Chen Hua embarrassed and quietly helping his old father out of the door, he let out a long breath. On the night of his departure, Liu Sheng originally wanted to take down Chen Hua immediately, or did he persuade him to plan the plan, so he brought Chen Feng on the ship, and secretly summoned the officers on various important warships.
When all the outsiders left, he personally went up and covered the hatch, and when he saw Shi An Chen Yong, who seemed to be in a state of dazed shock, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Originally, he just felt that Li Qing was too worried and suspicious, but he really asked Peng Shisan to go around to find out the news, if he hadn't bumped into Chen Feng, who was galloping all the way, he wouldn't have known that some things were far more serious than he imagined.
If you want to regard Jiaolu as a bridgehead in Southeast Asia, you must be prepared to face the pressure of Southeast Asian countries in this bridgehead! The reason why the historical conflict will be difficult to cure for a long time is that the internal causes are important, but the external factors cannot be ignored either. When the Ming treasure ship no longer sailed, and the dynasty was only committed to stabilizing the Central Plains, how could the nail of Jiaolu be retained?
"My lord, as soon as this Chen Feng arrives, it is really a stroke of genius." Coming back from the initial shock, Chen Yong could no longer care about the lingering bloody atmosphere in the cabin, and said convincingly, "No wonder the adults are so confident in their own arrangements, it turns out that they have made such a secret move." ”
Shi An, who was over fifty years old, was more stable after all, frowned and said, "But if Chen Feng is fake, then he has to be guarded against." Moreover, if his father and son discussed it in the cabin, we can't hear it after all, and we still can't take it lightly. ”
Hearing the word self-confidence, Zhang Yue didn't know what expression to show. If it weren't for the reputation of Zhang Fu and Zhang Yu in Jiaolu in the past, he would have been anxious. But in response to Shi An's suggestion, although he nodded, he said something else: "Shi Langzhong is right. But now there is no need to rush it, today Chen Hua can behead the man and bring his head, his mind is already active, and now he has added his father Chen Feng, even if he had bad intentions before, he should be almost dispelled. As for other things, they have been carefully arranged before, so you don't have to worry about them. Now the most important thing for the two of you is the route and time of the march, and you must not miss the day in time to deal with the land army. ”
Shi An and Chen Yong glanced at each other, and then they knew that all this was arranged today, and immediately responded in unison: "Please rest assured!" ”
What Chen Feng's father and son talked about in the cabin, outsiders don't know, but when Chen Hua appeared in front of people later, he didn't have the aggressive momentum of the previous power, but whenever the banner was ordered and the marching arrangements were made, they would never avoid Zhang Yue and the others. And Chen Feng even used the excuse that he had already unloaded military affairs, and he and Peng Shisan were talking about the old things together, and when the interest came up, he would break his wrists on the deck to test his strength, and he didn't care about winning or losing.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed on the river. In the past few days, the march on the road has been constantly sent by the horses on the shore with flags, so everyone on board is well aware of this. On the fourth day, the shore and land horses were replaced by neat marching phalanxes, and the river was gradually barricaded by fences and sailors, and although they were all retreating from the fleet, everyone knew that they had penetrated deep into the heart of the rebels. Sure enough, in the evening of this day, I saw many bamboo fences in front of me, and countless military and civilian torches.
"It's less like a fight, more like a greeting. It seems that they are convinced that Chen Hua will lead troops to surrender. ”
Hearing Peng Shisan's extremely low reminder, Zhang Yue, who changed into an inconspicuous green shirt, and looked not much different from the navy on the outside, couldn't help but glance at Chen Hua. Only a small half of the soldiers and horses led by Chen Hua were handed over, but because his father and son had been in charge of the naval army for a long time, the rest of the officers were naturally difficult to match in the army, so they finally settled down, and it can be said that they really settled down the morale of the army. Two days earlier, Chen Hua called many generals in the navy from the commander to the thousands of households on the main boat, and he had already expressed sincere remorse. So to this day, it is only a blow to show the heart at this last moment.
Next to Zhang Yue was Chen Feng, and at this moment he was also staring at his son who was standing a few steps in front of him. Just when the atmosphere was unusually solemn, Chen Hua suddenly shouted, and as soon as the voice fell, the torch was suddenly raised on the high platform at the stern, and it waved up and down with some kind of peculiar trajectory, and the warships gradually stopped. Seeing this scene, I only listened to the fence and bamboo row barricade barricade river, and countless soldiers and civilians let out earth-shattering cheers. Even Zhang Yue, who didn't know what he meant, could tell the infinite joy in that voice.
In the cheers, Shi An and Chen Yong were afraid that Chen Hua would really turn against him, and they were already so nervous that their faces turned pale, while Peng Shisan's hand was lightly pressed on the handle of the knife. Just as this cheer resounded in the sky, a rousing war drum suddenly sounded from the stern, and when this sound suddenly rose, many large ships slowly moved away, revealing the small boats behind them. The boats, which were sailing down the wind, rushed towards the rafts and so on like arrows from the string, and halfway through the journey, a blazing fire suddenly erupted from above.
At that time, seeing the burning fireboats crashing straight into the fence on the river, and in an instant there was a fiery red in front of them, and the rebels who had just been cheering were suddenly silent, and then burst out into a panicked shout. Instead, there were earth-shattering cheers from the warships on the river, and while the fire was burning, the warships that had been stopped started one after another, and the archers and firecrackers were already on the forward deck, and for a while, everyone's ears were filled with countless string pulls and the sound of breaking the air.
Chen Hua held back the fire in his belly and had nowhere to go, this time he had calculated and unintentional, coupled with the fact that the number of people and equipment were all far superior, and the battle on the river soon showed a one-sided situation. When the more than 1,000 vanguard troops on land who were originally just waiting in formation and the army of Liu Sheng and Cui Ju, who arrived later, converged and joined the battle formation, although the shouting and killing on the river continued, the sound of fire was still ringing, and the swords and cards were endless, and the outcome of a major battle had already been decided.
Because the rebels were bent on taking refuge with Chen Hua's sailors, there was no iron cable on the river, so after the first battle, Liu Sheng sent an order from the shore and went straight to Thanh Hoa after resting for the night. Therefore, when hundreds of warships marched again in the early morning, the flowing river floated over the charred wooden planks or floating corpses from time to time, reproducing the thrilling scene of the river being red.
