Yao Sanjiang got his big knife and hurriedly went back to his village, he had to tell Du Bantian about today's incident, otherwise they would be in danger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What do you say? The naval battalion is training recruits? Du jumped up from the chair in a hurry, looking very impatient.

"Really, you see, today I went to get my big knife back, and I saw it with my own eyes." Yao Sanjiang patted his chest and said.

"Old Yao, since the water army knows that you are going to get your knife back, how can you take it easily, it was not so easy last time. Don't fall for the tricks of the trolls. The military advisor Xu Mao asked suspiciously.

"What the military advisor said is good, you can talk about it well." Du Bantian calmed down after listening to the words of the military advisor Xu Mao, sat down and said.

"They hung my big knife on the gate, I wanted to find a way to get it, after all, someone guarded it, but who knows, tonight someone actually entered the naval camp to assassinate, a golden opportunity.... As a result, the knife was brought back. Yao Sanjiang said with a snicker.

"Hey, Lao Yao, you're really unlucky." Military advisor Xu Mao quipped.

"Do you see how many people they've recruited?" Du Bantian asked.

"It is estimated that it has been recruiting for many days, and they have all started training, at least there are 10,000 sailors in the naval army camp now." Yao Sanjiang pondered.

"Ten thousand? It's impossible, you and I are clear about the situation of the Jiangmen Navy, there is no grain and grass to raise so many Sailors. Military advisor Xu Mao analyzed.

Du Bantian laughed and said: "Could it be a suspicious tactic, we don't know what his Jiangmen Navy eats every day." ”

"No, I heard that the Jiangmen City Lord's Mansion transferred 30,000 stone of grain to the naval army battalion?" Yao Sanjiang said.

"Huh? How is this possible? We all know the person surnamed Yu, how can he transfer so much food to the naval army battalion. Du Bantian said in disbelief.

"It's not necessarily impossible, I heard that the bandit general they came here has a lot of means, and last time Scar came to let us cooperate, he wasn't afraid of that person, and the surname Yu might do it." Military advisor Xu Mao pondered and analyzed.

Du Bantian listened to Xu Mao's words, and also fell into deep contemplation, what he said was right, if it wasn't for Yu Yunzhi's fear of the new bandit general, how could he come to him to cooperate?

"Big boss, do you think it will be the surname Yu and the bandit general who joined forces to stage such a scene to paralyze us, so that when the time is ripe, they will wipe us out?" Military advisor Xu Mao analyzed.

"Huh?" When Du Bantian heard this, his eyes became sharp and bloodthirsty, if this was the case, then he would never let go of Yun Zhi, he thought, how could he be so nested in the water village as a water bandit? should go out, don't care if he agrees or not, take Jiangmen City.

"Big boss, we can't sit still and take the initiative to test them." Military advisor Xu Mao said.

"I think so too, when will I do it?" Du Bantian asked.

"In five days, from tomorrow, we will gather all my subordinates to come back, and we will inspect the ships again, and after the subordinates come back, we will practice for two days." The military advisor said slowly.

"Five days? Isn't it too long. Du Bantian said a little anxiously.

"The big boss, sharpen the knife and don't cut firewood, we must be foolproof, the brothers have been happy for so many days, and they will not adapt to attacking all at once." Military advisor Xu Mao persuaded him.

Du Bantian pondered slightly, and felt that what Xu Mao said was indeed reasonable, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he said to Yao Sanjiang: "Old Yao, you have contributed a lot today, but if you run out in violation of the regulations, you will be compensated." ”

Yao Sanjiang pouted and said, "Big brother, don't be like this, how can you say that the credit is worth it, and there is still hard work." ”

"Yes, big boss, let Lao Yao pick another lady." Military advisor Xu Mao said to Du Bantian with a smile.

Du Bantian saw that Yao Sanjiang was not happy, and when he saw the military advisor Xu Mao talking, he said: "It's okay, last time Scar sent thirty, there are seven or eight left, you can pick one." ”

Yao Sanjiang squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you..." ”

"Lao Yao, forget it tonight, have a good rest, you pay attention, the war is about to start." Xu Mao reminded Yao Sanjiang and said.

......。。

"General, this is 80,000 stone of grain, I brought it back. If it weren't for your letters, I don't think I would have been able to pull a single grain back. "Lu Huan has just returned to the naval camp from Jinyun City with the allocated grain.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Zichen looked at the dusty Lu Huan and said with a smile, Lu Huan has worked hard these days, and he knows that it is not easy along the way.

"General Lu, thanks to you this time, the naval army camp now has enough food and grass." Han Li smiled as he watched as truckloads of grain were transported into the camp.

"Han Lang will be polite." Lu Huan replied.

"Okay, you two don't flatter each other here, tomorrow we'll pull these people into the water to test and see how it goes, all the warships have been inspected recently, and they will be able to sea trials tomorrow." Chen Zichen said to the two people.

"Okay, by the way, I heard that the general was attacked by the assassins, did you catch the assassins?" Lu Huan asked.

"No, the assassins are too cunning." Han Li said helplessly, he had been tracking for several days, but he had found no trace of the assassin.

"Okay, Han Li, you go and count the grain and grass, Lu Huan will go back with me, I have something to ask." Chen Zichen said.

The two men replied yes, and went their separate ways.

"How about it, Qin Jun and Zhou Zheng of Jinyun City are all right." Chen Zichen asked.

Lu Huan thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say, but there is not much communication, and there is some tension on both sides." ”

"It's good if nothing happens." Chen Zichen said with a long sigh of relief.

"My lord, is the assassin the same as last time?" Lu Huan asked, he was really concerned about Chen Zichen's safety.

"I sent someone to follow him, saying that he was very vigilant and not easy to follow, and he disappeared in the city." Chen Zichen sighed and said.

"Oh? They all disappeared in the city, and they were also not small, probably in a group. Who in Jiangmen City dares to be so bold? Lu Huan said pointedly.

"Okay, you shouldn't care about this matter, immediately pull out all the water army, I am ready to let you lead the new army, you give me a good job, after returning to Beijing, I will tell the king to put you in the army." Chen Zichen glared at Lu Huan, he naturally knew what Lu Huan was referring to, but now was not the best time.

"My lord, do this?" Lu Huan asked with some concern.

"It's okay, just do what I tell you to." Chen Zichen ignored Lu Huan's words, of course he knew what Lu Huan meant, because he was afraid that Han Li would have an opinion.

.....。。

"Big boss, you don't need to go in person, Lao Yao, I'll go, are you afraid that Lao Yao will mess things up?" Yao Sanjiang said to Du Bantian, who was preparing to act.

"Lao Yao, it's not that I'm not worried about you, but I'm not worried about this situation, I want to see for myself, I know how to fight him." Du Bantian said with some worry.

"Okay, don't you fight, why don't you go together, can't the huge ship accommodate the two of you?" Military advisor Xu Mao said.

"Yes, what the military advisor said is reasonable." Du Bantian said.

A few people ordered troops to board the ship and slowly sailed towards Jiangmen City. The mighty contingent of water bandits disturbed the people on both sides of the strait, and everyone left in a hurry, shouting that the water bandits were coming, and those who relied on small boats to make a living also stumbled ashore, for fear of annoying these water bandits, and giving themselves an arrow.

Chen Zichen took Han Li, Lu Huan and several lieutenant generals, standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the Chu River, roughly the people on both sides of the strait have not seen the Jiangmen sailors sail for many years, although they are all hiding from afar, they are all secretly watching with their eyes, full of curiosity.

"Report, there is a team of bandits ahead...."

"Oh no, the ship of the official army was found in front....."

"How many bandits are there?" Han Li asked.

"How many of those trolls came?" Yao Sanjiang asked.

"The line of water bandits is very long, at least 10,000 horses... The spy also said in an uncertain way.

"I don't know, it's a piece of black pressing..." The man on the boat said confidently.

"Revisit..."

"Revisit..."

The first large-scale attack of the water bandits was about to meet the water army, and both sides had their own ideas, and they all slowed down.

Until we meet....
