At this time, everyone leaned to the edge of the tower, Yuan Chongshang raised his hand and pointed to the Yusuo Lake, and said with a smile: "Lord Chu, here you are, the Yusuo Lake is in full view, you see, in front of you, is the first big lake in our Anyi." ”

It is a bit exaggerated to see it as far as the eye can see, but Chu Huan can roughly see the outline of Yusuo Lake, the boats scattered on the lake are like ants at this time, and the figures on the shore are dodging at this time, like dense small black dots wriggling, Chu Huan knows that it is Fang Shihao who is ordering troops to board the boat, so that these landlubbers can get used to the feeling on the boat.

Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the two islands between the Yusuo Lake, which are quite far from the shore, and the view is vague, but you can also vaguely see the black shadows on the edge of the islands, which seem to be the ships of the Huang family.

"Lord Chu is known for his talents." The head of the household department next to him bowed and said with a smile: "My lord is in the Iron Blood Garden, and he has passed the three tests, and he has made a great choice, so if you have such an opportunity, you might as well show your talent and compose a poem?" ”

Everyone next to him immediately said: "Yes, yes, Lord Qincha is outstanding, and I also ask the Lord to compose poems!" ”

Chu Huan immediately waved his hand and smiled: "You guys are making fun of it, poetry and songs are really not the official's liking." If you have Yaxing, you might as well show your skills. ”

Everyone was naturally smiling, but Yuan Chongshang had already laughed and said: "Your mother-in-law, since you don't come, Bendu will compose a poem!" ”

Everyone was stunned, everyone knew that Yuan Chongshang was born as a martial artist and was not very literate, but they really couldn't imagine that at such a time, this governor would have Yaxing come out to compose poems, and everyone felt incredible.

Yuan Chongshang touched his thick beard, thought about it, and finally said: "There is a lake in front, and the lake is white." White water turns red, not in vain! ”

Everyone was stunned, but Yuan Chongshang had already laughed and said, "What do you think of this poem?" ”

The master said stubbornly: "The poems of adults, with a murderous spirit between the lines, are really not ordinary people can do it, and a sentence is not in vain for a husband, let alone ...... It's even more heroic! ”

Everyone could only echo and praise.

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said: "Everyone sit down first, we won't go back to the city tonight, let's be in this tower, and we will rest when we get drunk!" Turned around and entered the table, after everyone sat down, someone sent hot food from downstairs, and then the officials pushed the cup and set the lamp, and the fist was ordered, and the wine was happy on this viewing platform.

Chu Huan's heart was a little strange, this banquet on the platform of the lake seemed to have been prepared in advance, Chu Huan only thought that Yuan Chongshang was taking himself upstairs to take a look, but looking at the meaning now, this governor seems to be really preparing to drink and feast all night on this tower, after three rounds of wine, and even two singers were taken up to the tower to play the piano and sing for everyone.

It was already dark, but lanterns were already hanging around the tower, and the night breeze by the lake was colder than in the city, but everyone had wine in hand, so they naturally did not feel cold.

The construction site did not stop working because of the arrival of the night, torches were lit everywhere, the fire was bright, the construction site was still busy, Chu Huan could see clearly on the tower, not only under the mountain, but also in all directions of the entire Yusuo Lake, there was a firelight, and it could be judged from the firelight that the Yusuo Lake was indeed surrounded by clusters.

Official, the words that were slightly inferior were already vague, Chu Huan and Yuan Chongsheng's alcohol consumption was good, both of them were several pots of wine, but they still did not have the slightest drunkenness.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from the stairs of the tower, and then saw that Fang Shihao had come out of the staircase, Yuan Chongshang had already raised his hand and said with a smile: "Fang Tong, come here, drink together!" ”

Fang Shihao stepped forward, sat down beside Yuan Chongshang, and said, "My lord, the last general has already transferred the officers and soldiers who served as the main attack on the ship that he was the first day, and the last general has ordered that from today until the capture of Yusuo Lake, these guys must stay on the boat for food and lodging." ”

Yuan Chongshang said with a smile: "You do things, Bendu has always been at ease." He actually poured himself full of wine, sent the wine glass to Fang Shihao, and said, "Come, Fang Tong, this glass of wine, you do it first!" ”

Fang Shihao hurriedly said: "The last general will not dare!" ”

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "This governor ordered you to drink it." You are the confidant of the governor, you are the vanguard of the governor, the governor naturally wants to toast you first, he is good to take the governor's elite soldiers, and capture the jade lock lake in one fell swoop. ”

Fang Shihao stood up immediately, took Yuan Chongsheng's wine glass, held it with both hands, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, as long as your lord gives an order, the last general will lead the elite soldiers under his command to wipe out the Huang family's chaotic party!" ”

"Good, good!" Yuan Chongshang clapped his hands and laughed, watched Fang Shihao drink all the wine from the wine glass, got up, pulled Fang Shihao's arm, walked to the side, whispered, Chu Huan turned his head to look over, and saw Yuan Chongshang whispering a few words to Fang Shihao, Fang Shihao's expression changed slightly, and his heart was suddenly curious, not knowing what Yuan Chongshang secretly said to Fang Shihao.

After a while, Fang Shihao returned to the table with Yuan Chongshang, Yuan Chongshang sat down, but Fang Shihao did not sit down, but arched his hand to everyone: "Everyone, the military affairs are busy, you drink slowly!" He was neat and didn't say much, and bowed his hand to Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan, and left quickly.

The master couldn't help but say, "Why did the Fang Command go in such a hurry? In the middle of the night, what other important military affairs are there? ”

Yuan Chongshang had already raised his glass and said: "Master Shi, Lord Chu is ordered by the Holy Lord to confiscate the assets of the Huang family, this kind of thing, this governor does not understand, but you are the head of the household department, all affairs, you must obey the dispatch of Lord Chu, if there is a mistake, Lord Chu will be magnanimous and spare you, this governor will not spare you!" ”

The master was busy and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will fully cooperate with Lord Chu to handle the confiscation affairs." ”

Yuan Chongshang laughed, and then picked up the wine glass again, but in a moment, there was laughter and laughter above the tower.

"Lord Chu, what do you say the Huang Family Rebellion in Yusuo Lake is doing now?" Yuan Chongshang had two pots of wine in his stomach, although the amount of wine was not small, but he still brought two points of wine.

Chu Huan asked with a smile, "Does the Governor know what they are doing?" ”

Yuan Chongshang shook the cup and said, "In the cold night of deep winter, I'm afraid I'm already asleep." He put down his glass and stretched, "If it weren't for the excitement today, Ben Du would have been lying in bed and falling asleep by this time." ”

Chu Huan agrees with this point, in the cold winter season, it is the middle of the night, and for most people, the best place to go is naturally in the hot bed.

Chu Huan smiled: "If it were me, I should be in bed at this time." ”

Yuan Chongshang said with a smile: "I brought Lord Chu here to suffer today, Lord Chu doesn't mind." Leaning closer to Chu Huan's ear, he asked in a low voice: "Lord Chu, you said that we are building ships here, especially four warships, do you know about this on the Huang family's side?" ”

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said, "I'm afraid they have already gotten some rumors." ”

Yuan Chongshang said with a smile: "Yes, not only is it rumored, but this governor even thinks that Huang Tian has the drawings of the four warships of this governor now, and he probably knows more about the four warships that this governor is building than this governor...... At this moment, half of the officials were already drunk, some leaned on their chairs, some were lying on the table, dazed, but Yuan Chongshang had already gotten up, put his hands on his back, walked to the edge of the railing of the tower, and looked at the Yusuo Lake, at this time it was dark, and he could only see a little firelight, but he could no longer see the scene of the Yusuo Lake, Chu Huan followed Yuan Chongshang to the railing, the cold night wind blew on his face, Chu Huan actually felt a burst of comfort.

"Lord Chu, you said that once the four warships of this governor are completed, will the Jade Lock Lake be breached soon?" Yuan Chongshang was silent for a while, and finally looked at Chu Huan.

Chu Huan thought for a while before he said: "Water has no normality, soldiers are impermanent, in any war, before the result comes out, no one can determine who wins and who loses." ”

Yuan Chongshang bowed his head and said, "What Lord Chu said is good. He lowered his voice and said softly: "In fact, even if the four warships are really built, they may not be Huang Tianyi's opponents!" ”

Chu Huan was stunned.

Yuan Chongshang had already said slowly: "The Praetorian Guard is not good at water warfare, and the entire Anyi Dao has no water army that is familiar with water warfare. Although there are only 3,000 people on the Huang family's side, most of them are excellent in water, and they are familiar with the way of boats and oars, and the Praetorian Guards are far inferior to this point alone, and the governor is worried that even if the four warships are built, there may not be skilled sailors who use the warships to fight to the death with the Huang family......! ”

At this moment, Xuanyuan Shengcai, who heard it next to him, suddenly said: "My lord, look at ......!" ”

Chu Huan turned his head to look, but saw Xuanyuan Shengcai pointing to the lake, and looking in the direction he pointed, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already said: "The lights on the boat, all the lights are out......!" ”

Only then did Chu Huan realize that the boats by the lake were all lit up before, but at this time, except for a little fire on the shore, the boats on the lake were pitch black, and there was no light.

Chu Huan's brows locked, and he suddenly realized something, and looked at Yuan Chongshang, but saw Yuan Chongshang's expression calm, his hands on the railing, and he continued: "The Praetorian Guards are not good at anything in the water, but as long as they are on land, the Huang family is not an opponent at all. Raising his hand to the Jade Lock Lake in the Black Hole Cave, "Bendu's soldiers and horses, as long as they land on Taiping Island and Liyu Island, then the Huang family's chaotic party is a lamb to be slaughtered, and it is vulnerable to ...... attack!" Speaking of this, he turned to Chu Huan and said with a smile: "Lord Chu, if we fight, we have to make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, this governor has been building ships on a large scale, and everyone thinks that this governor is going to fight with the Huang family in a water battle, but from the beginning, this governor has never thought of fighting a water war with Huang Tianyi. ”

Chu Huan suddenly realized and sighed: "The Governor has made great efforts to build ships, and even spent huge manpower and material resources to build four warships, all of which turned out to be to confuse the opponent. ”

"Everyone thinks that Bendu is going to fight with Huang Tianyi, and Huang Tianyi naturally thinks the same." Yuan Chongshang touched his rough beard and said: "He has always thought that he will not dare to fight with him if the four warships of this governor are not built, so he must have thought that the day of the war is the time when the four warships are launched......!" A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But since Bendu has no intention of water war, he naturally won't wait for the four warships to be built...... Lord Chu, you say, would Huang Tianyi have thought that the day of the decisive battle set by this governor will be in ...... Today? ”
