Chapter Forty-Eight: The Fire Burns the Empty City of the Water Wall
Han Li led the people to drive the speedboat towards the Cave Bay that Yao Sanjiang had said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even though Han Li, as a naval general, was familiar with the waters of Chushui, he couldn't quickly find a suitable waterway to lead to Aoshui Bay.
The Chushui waterways are complex, and many of them have not been visited.
Han Li was very careful at the moment, after all, Cave Water Bay was within the territory of Chu State, and if it was not done well, it would cause a dispute between the two countries.
...。。
"Strategist, do you think we'll come back?" Du Bantian stood on the boat and looked at Cave Water Bay, and asked with some loss.
Cave Bay is his birthplace, he has just suffered a defeat, and finally has a place to stay, but unfortunately, he does not dare to rest on it now, which is really heart-wrenching.
"Big boss, don't worry, I'm afraid there is no place for us to live on this Chu Shui?" Military advisor Xu Mao comforted Du for a long time and said.
In fact, in Xu Mao's heart, he no longer had hope for Du Bantian, and he didn't count on these brothers under him. He's got it all right.
"Alas, that's exactly what the old saying goes, 'the dog that loses its home'." Du Bantian said with a self-deprecating wry smile.
Since ancient times, all those who rebel can always be successful, only those who know the general situation, and so on, will succeed, on the other hand, those who are complacent after achieving a little achievement, or those who enjoy luxury, will mostly be exterminated.
Du Bantian and Xu Mao took their brothers to take advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark and hurriedly left Aoshuiwan.
Looking at the concave bay farther and farther away, the two of them had their own thoughts.
Shortly after Du left for half a day, several clippers slowly approached the concave bay.
It was none other than Han Li, who had come to find out, and ordered the soldiers to slowly approach the concave bay, Han Li's eyes scanned around in the dark night, as if even a water duck on the water could not escape his eyes.
After a while, he approached the Cave Water Bay, and Han Li found that the island was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't even see a person on duty at night.
It's a strange thing.
"My lord, it seems that there is no one on the island?" The soldier asked, confused.
Han Li ordered to go up and take a look, and the group slowly touched the island. The dark island, the firewood on the fire rack has not been lit, and the debris scattered on the ground can be faintly seen.
The island is lonely.
The group looked around and found no trace of anyone, and even Han Li began to suspect whether what Yao Sanjiang said was reliable or not.
Just as Han Li was hesitating, a soldier reported that the pot on the island was still hot, and under the guidance of the soldiers, Han Li touched it, indeed, there was still residual heat, it seemed that there were originally people on the island.
Ordered the soldiers to ignite all the fires on the island, and after a while, the island was immediately lit up, and Han Li stood on top of the hall where Du Bantian was standing, looking around, his eyes like torches, shooting straight into the distance.
"My lord, it seems that the bandits have run away." The dark-skinned soldier Xu Wenqing said to Han Li.
Han Li glanced at Xu Wenqing and nodded, indeed, the water bandit ran away, and he was a step late, it seems that the water bandit was notified, otherwise he would not have left in such a hurry.
Han Li thought for a moment, then said, "Xu Wenqing, you bring a few people to stay, don't leave everything on the island behind, I'll go back and report to the general first." ”
After saying that, Han Li strode away, and before walking out of the hall, he glanced back, this place was probably about to become a place of soot.
Xu Wenqing took a few people to stay, took out a few firewood sticks on the fire rack, held them in his hands, and walked towards the depths of the island.
Han Li stood at the bow of the boat, the boat swaying and quickly leaving. Looking at the fire rising in the concave bay, his face was solemn and interpretive.
"Big boss, you see." The water bandit pointed to the direction of the fire and said to Du Bantian.
Du Bantian and Xu Mao turned around, only to see that a raging fire had already ignited in the place where they had just left, and the flames were soaring into the sky, reflecting half of the sky.
Du Bantian's eyes were a little red, and in less than a few days, the water army had already burned his two places.
Du Bantian clenched the back socket tightly, his face looked a little hideous, like a poisonous snake that wanted to sting at any time in the dark night.
Xu Mao secretly said at this moment that his decision was right, hurry up and hurry, and leave first step, otherwise his group may not leave so easily.
Rao is Xu Mao is smart, he didn't expect that Chen Zichen just asked Han Li to bring dozens of people to Aoshui Bay to inquire about the situation, in fact, Xu Mao also overestimated Chen Zichen too much, and he also thought he was too bold.
At the same time, while Xu Mao chose not to believe Yao Sanjiang, he chose not to believe it at all, without any souvenirs.
....。
"Look, there are people, military advisors." A water bandit reminded Xu Mao and said.
Xu Mao looked, and sure enough, a small boat approached them, and Du was nervous for a long time, and ordered to release the arrow immediately. Xu Mao hurriedly stopped Du for a long time,
Because the ship came from the opposite direction of them, it could not be a ship of the navy. But it didn't let his men let their guard down.
The small boat slowly approached the big boat of Du Bantian and his party, in fact, the people on the small boat were also nervous now, because he was afraid of being killed by mistake. Fortunately, they were about to approach the big ship, and they hadn't seen them shoot themselves yet. It's safe for now.
"Who?" Xu Mao instructed the water bandit to ask.
"Don't panic on the boat, it's me, Jiang Yidao." Scarface said loudly in the boat, reminding the people on the boat not to be impulsive.
"Jiang Yidao?" Xu Mao was a little puzzled, and tilted his head towards Du Bantian, only to see that Du Bantian was a little angry at this time, and it was after hearing that someone came to report to the door.
"Hmph, Scarface, you still have the face to come to me, see if I don't shoot you through." Du Bantian said viciously.
Xu Mao understood who this person was, so it was no wonder that he hated him to the core.
"Boss Du, don't get me wrong, I don't have anything to hold you back." Scarface hurriedly explained to himself, otherwise, this annoyed Du for a long time, and this life will be explained here today.
Du Bantian's face was gloomy, and in the dark night, under the background of the torches, he looked extremely terrifying.
"Scarface, if you hadn't come to persuade me not to show up, would I have missed the best opportunity to deal with the trolls? I see that you and the trolls are in a group. Du Bantian regretted that he had misheard Scarface's words at the beginning, and now he regretted it.
"Oh, what a gang, my mother was forced to run away, and the adults in my family were arrested by the surname Chen. And a bunch.... Scarface said with a hint of hatred in his chagrin.
Du Bantian and Xu Mao glanced at each other, thinking that this matter was very interesting, and they both wanted to know about it. So he ordered someone to pull Scarface onto the boat.
"What? Haven't you always been the boss in Jiangmen? How could it be taken down by a little bullshit bandit general? Xu Mao asked.
Where did Scarface dare to say half a lie, so he had to tell the two of them the truth as it was, and even told the story of sending people to assassinate Chen Zichen and Yu Yunzhi many times.
Xu Mao listened to Scarface's words, and suddenly had other thoughts in his heart. Du Bantian felt that this Yu Yunzhi was also stupid enough.
Originally, Du wanted to end Scarface for a long time, but suddenly he thought about it, and hesitated that Yao Sanjiang was arrested by Chen Zichen, and now he lacks people under him who can lead the troops to fight, and Scarface in front of him is a suitable person.
Du Bantian told Xu Mao what he thought, Xu Mao frowned, from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling, but looking at Du Bantian's fiery gaze, Xu Mao could only nod.
"Scarface, I see that you also really want to seek revenge on the surnamed Chen, why don't you join us, and when we defeat the surnamed Chen, we can rescue your family." Du said seductively for a long time.
Scarface came to Du Bantian for this matter, and now Du Bantian took the initiative to mention it, it was too late for him to be happy, how could he refuse.
So, Scarface agreed without hesitation.
...。。
"General, what Yao Sanjiang said is right, Du Bantian is likely to be in Aoshui Bay, but when we went, they had already left, and judging from the situation on the island, they had not been gone for long." Han Li told Chen Zichen everything he knew.
Chen Zichen nodded, he knew that Du Bantian had a military advisor by his side, and while Han Li went to inquire about the situation, he also learned about this military advisor, in Yao Sanjiang's opinion, this military advisor named Xu Mao was definitely a more reliable strategist.
From the time Yao Sanjiang told him all the things he had done to help Du Bantian make plans, he knew that Han Li would definitely make a splash when he went, and sure enough, that was the case, he didn't say anything more, now he had to plan it well.
