Chapter 505: Crisis After Victory

The sea was victorious, and after the news was transmitted back to Chang'an, Zhao Shuo let out a long breath. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But after reading the battle report in his hand, Zhao Shuo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, had to bring up this breath.

As for the reason, that is, although this battle was won, Zhao Shuo's army also suffered a lot of losses.

Originally, Zhao Shuo's navy had more than 50 large ships and more than 100 small boats, but after this battle, there were only more than 30 large ships left, and only more than 50 small ships remained.

Compared with the Mongol navy, this loss is much less, but compared with the Great Song navy that rushed to help the war, this loss is a bit too great.

"Why did you lose so much?" Zhao Shuo's hand holding the battle report shook involuntarily. "How did this Zhao Cheng get it, how did he command it, Ruan Xiaoqi had already put the Mongolian port in Dongying, and he had lost so much, how did he use the artillery, small shells and muskets he was equipped with."

Faced with Zhao Shuo's complaints, Zhang Chujiu, who came to deliver the news, did not say a word. Wu Yashi, who came to report on the implementation of the new school and the new law, spoke.

"Lord Wang, this time we are facing a joint attack by the Mongolian Navy and the Great Song Army, and neither of them has fewer ships than us. It's good that we're going to win. ”

After listening to Wu Yashi's words, Zhao Shuo looked at him sideways. "Strategist, is war a one-on-one war of attrition? We have fifty ships, the other side has fifty ships, and if we want to destroy the other party's fifty ships, we must take our own fifty ships? What kind of logic is this! ”

"Lord Wang, Xiaosheng didn't mean that." Seeing that Zhao Shuo was angry, Wu Yashi hurriedly explained.

"And what do you mean?" The construction of the new school reported by Wu Yashi just now is slow, except for the two experimental sites in Chang'an and Fuzhou, which are not bad, the rest of the state capitals have not yet been implemented. The implementation of the new law is also fraught with difficulties. Because they did not have so many talents at their disposal, those officials who resisted the new law could only adopt a policy of gentleness and persuasion, and could not be dismissed. After all, this is a special event, and if a place is not managed by officials for a long time, it will definitely be chaotic. Zhao Shuo had already given birth to a belly just now, and now Wu Yashi was helping Zhao Cheng speak again, which made Zhao Shuo's anger even greater, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Zhao Shuo had already clearly shown his displeasure, which had never happened before. Wu Yashi is not a fool, he sensed that something was wrong, he didn't dare to speak again, so he had to ask Zhang Chujiu for help with his eyes.

It is naturally impossible to let Zhang Chujiu open his mouth to help speak, because at this time, everyone knows that it is unwise to provoke Zhao Shuo. But if you talk about something else and open the subject, you can really try it.

After Zhang Chujiu saw Wu Yashi's eyes, he nodded slightly and spoke tentatively. "Lord Wang, the Great Song Dynasty Navy has retreated south, should we send troops to harass and intercept it."

"Interception?" Zhao Shuo looked at Wu Yashi, and then at Zhang Chujiu, his brows still furrowed.

Zhang Chujiu leaned forward and smiled. "Yes, now the Great Song Dynasty Navy is a frightened bird, as long as we send some ships, we will definitely be able to hit them hard and hit them until they kneel and surrender."

Zhang Chujiu felt that what he said was very thorough, but after he finished speaking, Zhao Shuo's face became more and more gloomy. "Hit, intercept, what to hit? What to intercept? ”

Zhang Chujiu blinked, a little unsure of how to continue.

Zhao Shuo exhaled a few turbid breaths, trying his best to restrain his increasingly depressed anger. "All our sailors are in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and this time we sailed, we used all the ships, except for the port that was not built, and even the surrounding fishing boats were requisitioned. Now the Great Song Dynasty Navy is unable to escape all the way, Zhao Cheng's fleet continues to rest and recuperate, pursue, what to pursue, the Great Song Dynasty Navy does not turn around to make trouble for us, we should burn high incense. ”

Zhao Shuo's words expressed the depression in his heart, his dissatisfaction, and his worries.

At this time, Wu Yashi and Zhang Chujiu understood why Zhao Shuo was still unhappy when he received the news of his victory.

"Lord Wang, say so......" Wu Yashi wanted to speak and stopped, he was really afraid that he would say the wrong thing and anger Zhao Shuo, who was already too angry.

"Is the destruction of the Mongol navy a victory? The Mongolian navy is a fart! Zhao Shuo seemed to be saying to Zhang Chujiu and Wu Yashi, but his eyes did not look at the two, but closed slightly, with a frowning brow, as if he was talking to himself. The Great Song Dynasty came to ask for help, intercepted it, and destroyed the Mongol naval army in front of their eyes, but let the Great Song naval army run away. No, no. How to use long-distance artillery, how to use the muskets and small shells that were mobilized, Ruan Xiaoqi also took out the Mongolian port in Dongying, and the Great Song Dynasty was also a tired army that came from thousands of miles, but the result was still a tragic victory, not to mention the loss of half of the ships, and let the Great Song naval army, after suffering minor casualties, escape. Idiots, fools, fools, incompetent......"

The more Zhao Shuo spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he had reached the point of gritting his teeth.

This situation greatly surprised Wu Yashi and Zhang Chujiu, they didn't dare to speak, worried that Zhao Shuo would make a move, and finally Wu Yashi pulled Zhang Chujiu over and persuaded Zhang Chujiu in a low voice.

Zhang Chujiu went out, not to leave, but to find Fang Yunsheng. Among Zhao Shuo's four daughters-in-law, Wu Yashi thought that Zhao Shuo's favorite should be Fang Yunsheng. Moreover, Fang Yunshang is also the most considerate. At this time, he called Fang Yunsheng to come, so that he could be more sure-footed.

This is a big deal, so soon, Zhang Chujiu brought Fang Yunshang over.

As soon as he entered the door and glanced at Zhao Shuo, Fang Yunshang took small steps, held his stomach, and came to Zhao Shuo's side.

Along the way, Zhang Chujiu had already told her what had happened, she patted Zhao Shuo lightly, and said softly. "Lord Wang!"

Zhao Shuo was awakened by this soft voice, and when he saw that it was Fang Yunsheng, he frowned and said. "You're pregnant, you need to rest, why did you come here. What about Fluttershy and Swallowdance? ”

"They're all in trouble!" Fang Yunsheng's face was gentle. "I haven't seen you in days, I miss you, so come and have a look!" Speaking of this, Fang Yunsheng's right hand gently stroked Zhao Shuo's cheek. "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you, are you experiencing any trouble?"

Fang Yunshang did not 'betray' Zhang Chujiu and Wu Yashi, and pretended to be confused.

At this time, Wu Yashi and Zhang Chujiu wisely proposed to leave, after all, the feeling of a light bulb is not comfortable.

Wu Yashi and Zhang Chujiu left, Zhao Shuo exhaled a breath of turbidity, squeezed out a smile, and said with a little helplessness. "Although the first battle at sea was won, it left a big crisis, and I am afraid that we may be in trouble......"
