Zhong Han, who was standing behind Tai Shici, suddenly laughed and said, "If we dispatch eight hundred people, we will already lift Wu Ju!" ”

Lao Hei glanced at these young soldiers again, and sure enough, they were all strong and strong, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go and call everyone up." ”

Tai Shici waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy." I just listened to what you said, do Wu Ju's subordinates often come to apportionment all kinds of taxes? If all the young people in the village send us to Panyu, and when Wu Ju's people come, they find that you are not there, will they trouble you? ”

Lao Hei didn't expect Tai Shi Ci to take the initiative to think about them, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and said for a while: "It's still the general who is thoughtful, and before we send the general away, we can place them on a small island overseas." Wu Ju's people will never find it. ”

Tai Shici asked again: "Then after Wu Ju's people came, they found that there was no one in the village, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

Lao Hei grinned and said with a smile: "The general doesn't know, in fact, we often hide the old and weak women and children in the village on the island. As you know, our village is very poor, and we often can't pay our taxes. If they fail to pay their taxes, the government will jail the women and children in the village. So, when we didn't have enough money, we sent our women and children to the island to take refuge for a while. When the people from the government came, they found that the village was empty, and they knew what was going on, so they didn't take it to heart. ”

Tai Shi Ci suddenly realized: "I see. Well, wake up the villagers, hurry up and hide the old and weak women and children on the island, and then send us to Panyu. ”

Lao Hei agreed and walked towards the house next door, but Tai Shici could see it clearly, and Lao Hei had deep worry on his face.

Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but stop Lao Hei again and asked, "What's the difficulty?" ”

Lao Hei shook his head in a panic and said, "No." ”

Tai Shi Ci said sharply: "No, there must be something in your heart!" ”

Lao Hei sighed and said, "Don't hide it from the general, we only came back to the village yesterday, and it was because of the lack of surplus food that there was no way to continue to stay on the island, so we ventured back and wanted to raise some food." ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded and said, "I understand, you haven't raised enough food yet, so you need to continue to stay in the village." ”

Lao Hei sighed deeply again and lowered his head.

Tai Shi Ci suddenly said loudly: "Order, everyone is only allowed to carry two days' worth of dry food, and the rest of the grain will be given to the people in the village!" ”

Lao Hei was stunned by Tai Shici's sudden order, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Such a big man couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, turned around and ran out, calling the villagers loudly......

Watching the small fishing boats carrying the old and young in the village gradually sail away, and finally turned into small black dots looming in the sea, Zhong Han couldn't help but say worriedly: "General, will they not be able to come back?" ”

Tai Shi Ci knew what Zhong Han meant, if these fishermen couldn't come back, not only would they not find a boat that could carry them to Panyu, but they would also lose a large amount of dry food, and in two days, they would probably have to work how to fill their stomachs.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be back." After Tai Shici said this, he suddenly became a little unconfident, and added, "Tell the brothers, save some dry food and halve every meal." ”

However, Lao Hei did not disappoint Tai Shici, and at noon, a fleet appeared on the sea, and the size of the fleet was even larger than when it set off in the early morning. It turned out that it was not only the fishermen of this fishing village who hid on that small island, but also the villagers of several small villages around the island. Listening to Lao Hei's explanation, and seeing the real dry food that Tai Shici gave to Lao Hei, the other fishermen were clamoring to help the real Han army deal with Wu Ju. Needless to say, these fishermen have long had enough of Wu Ju's oppression, and now is the time to resist.

Although the eight hundred people selected by Tai Shi Ci were all proficient in water, and many of them could also steer ships, when they really reached the sea, they realized that their little ability was really not enough to get here. If it weren't for the help of Lao Hei and his group of fishermen who have been working in the sea all year round, even if they found enough boats, they would never have been able to reach Panyu by sea.

Things in the world are about the same, step by step. Now there are not only fishing boats and boatmen who can go to sea, but what surprises Tai Shici is that among the new fishermen, there are actually a few people who have been to Panyu by sea, and even the guide is saved. What is even more surprising is that God also came to help at this time, and a faint north wind blew, which made the southbound fleet sail fast and steady.

In the evening, fishermen familiar with the sea conditions took the fleet to a sheltered bay, where it was impossible to sail after dark, especially on the sea, where there were many unknown dangers. Although Tai Shi Ci was anxious, there was no way to do it.

After resting for the night, the fleet continued southward, still with a slight north wind, and the fleet sailed on the vast sea without any danger.

Tai Shici stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the endless, blue sea, and couldn't help but feel excited, and said loudly: "It's so beautiful!" ”

Lao Hei laughed and said, "General, you haven't seen the sea in full swing." If there was a storm, you wouldn't say that. The people in our village who go to sea don't die ten or eight a year. ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded and said, "Your life is indeed bitter and dangerous, when Wu Mao is resolved, I will definitely tell the lord about your situation." With my father-in-law, your good days will not be too far away. ”

Lao Hei smiled honestly and said, "It's bitter, it's hard, as long as you can eat enough." ”

Suddenly, the fisherman on the boat who had been to Panyu suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look, general, go ashore from here, twenty miles to the west, and it will be Panyu." ”

Hearing that Panyu was in front of him, the soldiers and fishermen on the boat cheered in unison.

The original plan was to arrive in Panyu within seven days, but now it is half in advance, which leaves enough time to prepare for the attack on Panyu, Tai Shici also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said: "Thank you for your hard work." Let's take a rest here first, and then let everyone bring some food back when we take Panyu City. ”

Lao Hei grabbed the harpoon on the bow of the boat, jumped onto the beach first, and said loudly: "General, we will go with you!" ”

Other fishermen also grabbed harpoons and jumped onto the beach with the soldiers.

Tai Shici shook his head and said, "No, it is the duty of a soldier to attack the city, and it has nothing to do with you, you can't go!" ”

Lao Hei and the fishermen stood there stubbornly, without the slightest intention of getting on the boat. Zhong Han suddenly said: "General, are we going to attack the city during the day or wait until it gets dark to attack the city?" ”

Patronizing and arranging these fishermen, Tai Shici really didn't think about this problem. His troops are too small, and if he attacks during the day, as long as he appears outside Panyu City, the defenders will definitely close the city gate immediately. As soon as the city gate was closed, even if they were all three heads and six arms, they would have no use. Waiting until dark may have a better chance, but the defenders at the head of the city must be relaxed, otherwise the wall in front of them will also have no way to deal with it.

The top priority is to find a way to enter the city, as long as he enters the city, Tai Shici believes that with the skills of eight hundred warriors, there is absolutely no problem in taking Panyu City.

The beach, which was still full of excitement just now, suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Tai Shici. Tai Shi Ci lowered his head and pondered for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and suddenly saw the harpoon in the old black hand shining a little in the sun, and couldn't help patting his thigh, and said in a loud voice: "Okay!" If you don't want to sit empty on the ship, do me a favor. ”

The fishermen were excited to have the opportunity to help, and Lao Hei patted his chest and said: "General, please command, I, Lao Hei, will give up this life, and I will definitely help the general get things done!" ”

This day and a half of eating and living together, Lao Hei and those fishermen already knew Tai Shici's true identity, such a high-powered general, but he didn't have the slightest shelf in front of them, and he also distributed his dry food to them. The honest old black was completely convinced this time, he was telling the truth, no matter what Tai Shici asked him to do, even if he went up to Daoshan and went down to the sea of fire, he was willing to go.

Tai Shi Ci smiled and said, "Why don't you risk your life, I just want to ask you to catch more fish." ”

Lao Hei couldn't believe his ears, and asked in surprise, "The general wants to eat fish?" ”

The more than 100 men who came with him were all good fishers, and even when they were sailing, they were able to catch some fish in their spare time. Along the way, Lao Hei suggested Tai Shi Ci several times to try the delicious food in the sea, but Tai Shi Ci refused. Now that he is about to reach the city of Panyu, Tai Shici suddenly remembered that he wanted to eat fish, and Lao Hei couldn't help but feel his heart sink, this omen is not very good.

But I heard Tai Shi Ci laugh and said: "What kind of fish to eat, a certain one likes to eat meat." I asked you to help you catch fish so that you could sell it to the city. ”

Zhong Han slapped his face and said excitedly: "The general's plan is wonderful!" ”

Lao Hei and his fishermen brothers looked at Tai Shici and Zhong Han blankly, not knowing what they meant.

Tai Shici waved his hand and said, "Why are you still stunned here, don't you want to help me with this?" ”

The fishermen woke up from a dream and returned to their fishing boats. The fishing tools were ready-made, but in an hour, they were fully loaded.

At this time, the 800 warriors were also assembled. Tai Shi Ci personally selected fifty people from them and said loudly, "Brothers, hurry up and change your clothes. ”

Only then did the fishermen understand that Tai Shici wanted to pretend to be a fisherman who went into the city to sell seafood, and quietly sneaked into the city. Lao Hei figured out Tai Shici's purpose, and hurriedly said, "General, this matter is not appropriate. ”
