Chapter 1986 Pre-war preparations, old tricks repeated
Early the next morning, Guo Ye was awakened by a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was the white-clothed Divine Arrow King Bodang. Beside him, there was still a smiling Tagina.
"Senior Wang, is that you?"
"Yes, it's me. Guo boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you don't look old at all. ”
"That's not as good as you, look at your complexion, but you're really getting younger and younger."
Guo Ye's words are not compliments, but telling a fact!
Back then, when I first saw this person, he had changed from a famous white-clothed arrow on the rivers and lakes to an old bandit. Although he is also famous in the bandit industry, compared with the rumors, it is infinitely embarrassing!
Later, a generation of legendary figures fell for the beauty trick and broke into a catastrophe. If it weren't for himself, he would have been in a different place by now.
Datang couldn't stay any longer, and in the end Wang Bodang and Tagina had to cross the ocean to Fuyu Kingdom. Until now, I still remember the reluctant look in his eyes at the beginning.
But today's Wang Bodang, how can there be a trace of the decadent appearance of the past? I saw that his face was full of red light, full of confidence and vitality, and he stood there like a sharp sword unsheathed, sweeping away all the evils in the world.
This is the rumored white-clothed arrow!
Wang Bodang laughed and said: "Guo boy, don't say it, in the past few years, I have really become more and more 'old man talking about juvenile madness'." ”
Guo Ye said: "It seems that this is all the credit of Tagina?" Senior Wang, you are a dead wood in spring, and the old cow eats tender grass. ”
Tagina snorted and said, "Don't talk nonsense, he's so proud, but it doesn't matter much to me." ”
Wang Bodang said: "Where, where, the good wife is too modest." If it weren't for you, how could there be Jia'er. If it weren't for Jia'er, how could I be full of energy now? ”
"Jia'er?" Guo Ye opened his mouth wide and said, "No, it's not enough for you to have Tagina, what kind of Jia'er did you hook up with!" Tagina, you're really, and you help him match! Senior Wang, it's not me talking about you, you can't do this very well. ”
Uncle Wang said: "What are you thinking? Jia'er is a man, a man! ”
"It's even worse for men! Senior Wang, you have to clean yourself, or I am afraid that your reputation will be ruined. ”
Tagina laughed and said, "Qin Guogong, you misunderstood, Jia'er is only four years old. ”
"It's even less ...... at the age of four Wait, four years old. Could it be ......"
Wang Bodang patted his chest proudly and said, "Son! It's mine! ”
"It's your son! I thought it was ...... Thought...... That's embarrassing. ”
As he spoke, Guo Ye took out a piece of gold ingots from his sleeve pocket and handed it over, saying, "This is the ...... I gave to Ling Lang."
He wanted to talk about the New Year's money, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, according to his generation, this Wang Jia'er was his equal.
In the end, he had no choice but to say: "It is rumored that gold can ward off evil spirits, so let this gold ingot bless Ling Lang to grow up safely." ”
Wang Bodang took it honestly and unceremoniously, and said: "It's true that gold can ward off evil spirits, but others use gold collars, gold bracelets or something, and your use of gold ingots is really chic." However, Qin Guogong, you are my great benefactor, and the elder did not dare to resign, so I still accepted it. ”
"What are these words? You are my elder, and I dare not be your elder. ”
Wang Bodang ignored his words and said, "We came all the way to see you, let's talk here?" ”
"Uh...... But I'm rude, please, please. ”
When they arrived at the house, they sat down.
Before Guo Ye could speak, Wang Bodang and Tagina suddenly stood up again.
The two glanced at each other, walked up to him, knelt down on their knees, kowtowed, and said in unison: "Thank you Qin Guogong for your great kindness to us." ”
This action scared Guo Ye into a hitch, and he immediately jumped up and said, "Senior Wang, what are you doing here?" Do you want to curse me to death? ”
Wang Bodang and his wife stood up and said, "Don't worry, Duke Qin, you definitely deserve this head." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Literally, of course." Wang Bodang said: "My surname is Wang, and I have always had clear grievances. Qin Guogong, you have been so kind to our husband and wife, we have nothing to repay, we can only express our gratitude in this way. ”
"I said Senior Wang, are you there? How many years ago did I save you, and you didn't play this game back then. Why did you start kneeling now? A man has gold under his knees, and this is not like yours. ”
Wang Bodang said: "That's because although I was grateful to you at that time, I didn't clearly realize how much favor you did to me. It wasn't until a few years ago that I understood. To put it mildly, you are my reborn parents, and you are my father and mother. ”
Guo Ye couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard this.
He said: "You have been learning to make sycophants in Fuyu Country in the past few years, right? Born Parents Again? You can really say it! You dare to say it, I dare not listen to it! As for it? Didn't I just save you once? Isn't it true that you have a child now? What's the big deal. ”
Wang Bodang said: "Not only that, but what I am most grateful to you for is that you sent me to Fuyu Country." ”
"What happened to Fuyuguo?"
"Here, I found the meaning of being alive."
"You're getting more and more sophisticated."
"Let's put it this way, I want to follow Mi Gong to fight the world, my uncle Wang should be unstoppable. Later, Mi Gong surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and half of my heart died. When Mi Gong died, he was half dead. ”
Guo Ye said: "Isn't that all dead?" ”
"Yes, it's like death. Wang Bodang, who was alive later, was just a walking corpse. It wasn't until later, when I met Tagina, that my heart lived a little bit......"
Tagina couldn't help but twist him and said, "Just a little?" You have no conscience, you can say this. ”
"A good wife is angry, a good wife is angry!" Uncle Wang said: "Your role is to bring the dead back to life." It's like reviving a dead person, even if it's just to give him a breather, which is very remarkable. ”
"That's pretty much it."
Wang Bodang continued: "Later, it was the Duke of Qin who sent us to help the rest of the country. Here, they fought with the Fusang people, with the Baekje people, with the Silla people, with the Goguryeo people, almost every day. Wang's heart is more than half alive. ”
Guo Ye said: "No, senior Wang, when you were a bandit, you didn't fight less. ”
"How can that be the same? In the past, when I fought wars, I didn't care about killing the rich and helping the poor or doing the right thing for heaven, in fact, I knew in my heart that it was all for myself, at most for my brothers to survive. And here, I'm fighting for the people. ”
He paused for a moment and continued, "In other words, my purpose in fighting in the past was to kill people. And now he is alive. This feeling is better than being under Mi Gong! ”
Guo Ye said: "Congratulations to Senior Wang for his enlightenment and rebirth. ”
"Now that I think about it, I was a bit silly. Why do we have to be effectively loyal to one person? As long as you can defend your family and the country, you can live up to this life, right? My uncle Wang really lived half his life. If it weren't for Qin Guogong and you sending me here, I wouldn't have realized what happened yesterday. ”
"This is mainly because of the benevolence of Senior Wang, and the role played by Guo is just threading the needle."
Afraid that Wang Bodang would have no words to thank him, Guo Ye changed the topic and said: "Regarding the naval battle after ten days, I don't know what senior Wang thinks?" ”
Wang Bodang said: "If it is only 20,000 against 50,000, we may not have no chance of winning in supporting the rest of the country." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"We have fought a lot of battles with the Fuso people over the years, and we know their details very well. To be honest, the combat strength of the naval armies of the two countries is about half a catty. ”
"Then how do you say you have a chance of winning? The combat power is about the same, but the number of people is more than doubled! ”
"Listen to me. Thanks to the Qin Guogong, in recent years, the surplus country has been rich and has updated a lot of equipment. Therefore, although the combat strength of the two armies is about the same, our equipment is much better. Whether it is ships, bows, arrows, or knives, it is our army that has the advantage. ”
"Can the advantage of equipment compensate for the huge difference in numbers?"
"Of course, it can't make up for it, but our army has another big advantage, that is, we can't afford to lose. In this battle, Fuso lost, but temporarily gave up attacking Fuyu. And if we lose, we will become slaves of the country. Both oneself and one's family will be enslaved by Fuso. ”
"Can it be compared to a last stand?"
"Exactly. Therefore, a certain family thinks that the victory or defeat of this battle should be five or five. But...... Actually, I have another concern. ”
"Worried about what?"
"With the urine nature of the Fusang people, are they willing to do it honestly, don't they make any moths? I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
"You're saying they're going to take advantage of the sneak attack?"
"It may also be a sneak attack, or it may be some secret weapon on the battlefield, and it is even possible that they are playing tricks on the number of people on the expedition, and the Fuso Navy we are dealing with is not 50,000, but 80,000, or even 100,000!"
"That's not going to be easy, if you're prepared for every possibility, you'll have to dilute your forces and have a lower chance of winning. What's more, if the Fuso people send out 100,000 navies, we will be completely unreasonable! ”
Wang Bodang said: "This matter is extremely difficult, everything is entrusted to the Duke of Qin!" ”
"Please?" Guo Ye pointed to his nose and said, "Isn't this something Zhang Zhongjian should worry about?" At most, I'm just helping. ”
"He? He can't help it now. In fact, before Wang came, he was entrusted by the lord of the country. In this battle, everything was under the command of Qin Guogong. ”
"Me? No way! Absolutely not! Guo Ye shook his head like a rattle and said: "I don't know how to fight naval battles at all, let me command, isn't that a layman commanding an insider?" What should have lost will definitely lose, and what could have won will still lose. ”
"Okay, Qin Guogong, I didn't expect your brain to be quite sober."
"What? You lied to me just now? ”
"I'm not lying to you. In fact, what the lord of the country meant was that this war also asked the Duke of Qin to plan carefully for the rest of the country, and as for the specific battle, of course, it was his old man who was in charge. However, he is afraid that you will be ambitious and arrogant, and you must personally command, so let me test it. ”
"This Zhang Zhongjian...... It's really careless. Guo Ye shook his head and said, "He didn't come in person, but asked you to pass the word, and he fought with the idea of attacking and retreating, right?" If I do, you're joking. If I am adamantly against it, you will tell me the truth. ”
"Uh...... That's almost what it meant, which made Qin Guogong smile. ”
"Okay, you go back and tell Zhang Zhongjian, let's do it. Guo will plan with all his heart. I'll see him when I've got my mind up. It's just that in the future, don't play this kind of scheming with Guo anymore. ”
……
……
Not long after Wang Bodang left, Miji came.
"See Qin Guogong!"
"Hurry up, please." Guo Ye clasped his hands together and said, "You have suffered in the country of Fuyu in the past few years. ”
Miji's eyes were a little red at that time, and he said, "Actually, my subordinates are doing well here, and they can't be called suffering." It's just that...... Just ......"
"What? Are you homesick? ”
"To say that you don't want to go home is false. Qin Guogong, you can transfer us back to Datang. ”
Miji's mental state is far from that of Uncle Wang.
Guo Ye asked, "The people of Fuyu Country are not good to you?" Lack of offerings? If that's the case, I can't spare them! ”
"That's not true, the people of Fuyu are very good to us, and their food, clothing and housing are not slightly worse than those of Datang. Besides, no matter how bad it is, can there still be the three-year difference of training in the mountains? ”
"Then why do you want to go back to Datang so much?"
"The main thing is that the brothers are here and don't play a big role. Nominally, there are 72 islands, but in fact there are 148 large and small islands combined. The islands can only be communicated by boat. ”
"So what?"
"You also know that our team is practicing the skills of land warfare, at most we will practice swimming or something. And the main battle of the Fuyu country is naval battles, and we really can't help much. ”
"And what about the enemy landing?"
"The scale of the landing is not large, and the enemy's aim is generally to grab a handful and leave. We are not much better than the average soldier. The brothers all felt that it was a bit condescending to stay here. ”
Guo Yedao: "It seems that I didn't think it through. ”
Miji said: "Not only that, but the brothers have another concern. ”
"Worried about what?"
"I'm worried you don't want us anymore."
"Why do you think that?"
"I heard that you disbanded the East Factory, although the brothers don't dare to be arrogant, they are also a little self-aware. The role of our people is definitely not as good as that of Dongchang. ”
"Don't think nonsense, I disbanded the East Factory for another reason. As for you...... Since you don't want to stay in Fuyu Country, come back to Datang with me after this battle. ”
"Thank you, Duke Qin."
"By the way, I haven't paid much attention to you guys in the past few years, and I haven't fallen behind in training, right?"
"Rest assured, not only has nothing left behind. I also thought of a lot of new subjects according to local conditions. ”
"Oh? Do you still want to take a new subject? For example? ”
"For example, learn Fusang dialect, such as the various uses of thunderbolts......"
"Wait, Thunderball?" Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Where did you get the thunderbolt? ”
"Qin Guogong was angry, thinking that when we were on a mission, we had dealt with Steward Yu, and he gave us some thunderbolts."
"Nonsense! You've all been in Fuyu for several years, how many thunderbolts can be consumed like this? ”
Miji said, "This thing is actually not complicated. The brothers were bored on the island, dismantled a lot of thunderbolts, studied slowly, and are now able to make their own? ”
"Really?"
"The villain doesn't dare to lie."
Guo Ye happily slapped his thigh and said, "With the thunderbolt, we have a trump card in this sea battle." ”
"Thunderbolts are useful, but not very powerful. Isn't it an exaggeration to say that it can be used as a trump card? ”
"Hehe, of course your original thunderbolts are not very powerful, but now...... With just a small change, you can double the power! ”
"What's changed?"
"Granular gunpowder."
