Chapter 425: Arriving in Shandong
The rising sun rises from the east and illuminates the entire sky, and the huge fleet of ships on the rough seas is sailing towards the west, and the golden sunlight shines on the deck as if to coat the majestic battleship with a layer of golden armor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fan Liang, the commander-in-chief of the Jiaozhou fleet, stood at the end of the deck with resolute eyes, his straight figure like a javelin. It has been five days since the last naval battle, and in these five days, Fan Liang has gradually come out of the haze, and it can be seen from his face that Fan Liang seems to be more mature now. If Fan Liang before the naval battle was a sharp sword, then after the baptism of the battlefield, Fan Liang is now a sharp sword hidden in the scabbard. He concealed his edge in the unpretentious scabbard, but the whole person became more and more calm and resolute.
After a few days of travel, the fleet is about to arrive at the destination Jiaozhou Bay, and people are even more timid about their hometown, and Fan Liang is in this mood at this time. From the beginning of Jiaozhou to the present, a full three months have passed unconsciously. Looking back, in these three short months, they encountered unimaginable difficulties and dangers, intrigues, and even wars. Everything that Fan Liang and his party have experienced is even more thrilling than in the past 20 years. The only thing that made Fan Liang happy was that no matter how many difficulties they encountered, they finally successfully completed the task assigned by Liu Fan, and defeated Wang Zhi's pirate group, one of Jiaozhou's great enemies.
Speaking of Wang Zhifan, the corners of Fan Liang's mouth couldn't help but glow with a hint of arc, saying that this guy is really unlucky. After waiting for more than a month, he tried his best to annihilate the Jiaozhou fleet in one fell swoop. But he never expected that when he was most proud, he was counterattacked by the Jiaozhou fleet, and the huge force that he had worked so hard to pull up became a bubble in an instant. Even he himself committed suicide in despair at the moment when the Jiaozhou fleet broke through the Black Wind. Not only did he die, but even his dog-headed military advisor and "close friend" Yan Jizhi also went to Huangquan with him. Regarding the death of these two people, Fan Liang was not only sorry, but the rest was comfort. And what he regretted was not anything else, but that he did not capture the two alive with his own hands. Originally, Fan Liang wanted to personally escort the two back to Jiaozhou, but now he can only go back with their bodies...
"Look at the land ahead!" Suddenly, an excited roar interrupted Fan Liang's train of thought, and when he heard the voice, Fan Liang couldn't help but hear the voice, and sure enough, a thick green appeared in the distance.
"It's back! We're back! Not only did Fan Liang see the touch of green, but the others also discovered the scenery ahead almost at the same time. The whole fleet suddenly erupted in cheers all day, Fan Liang smiled bitterly and plucked his ears, he felt that the cannon sound of the big battle a few days ago did not seem to be as loud as it is now. One thing he knew for sure was that they were home!
As time passed, the view ahead became clearer and clearer. Looking at the familiar land in front of him, Fan Liang couldn't help but feel a little excited. It was yellow and depressed when I left, but now it is lush green.
Flag raising! Shoot! Tell everyone that we're back victorious! ”
A huge roar sounded, and the Jiaozhou fleet slowly sailed into its home port - Jiaozhou Bay! The sailors shouted trumpets and threw their heavy anchors into the sea, and the soldiers happily packed their bags and prepared to set foot on the hot land of their homeland with the most mighty and glorious posture. The entire Jiaozhou Bay is boiling because of the return of the Jiaozhou fleet ...
Liu Fan, who was far away in the Shihe General Military Mansion, after learning the news of the fleet's safe return. With his own guards, he galloped towards Qingdao at the fastest speed.
In the barracks less than five miles away from the shipyard, after a long absence of three months, Liu Fan saw Fan Liang again. Looking at the dark face in front of him, Liu Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Liangzi, you have become black and thin!" But it looks more energetic! ”
A simple sentence moved Fan Liang's eyes, "Poof" Fan Liang suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Fan, and cried bitterly, "Overseer, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for the brothers!" The brothers of more than a thousand people are gone! It's all my fault! ”
Looking at the man crying like a tearful man in front of him in astonishment, Liu Fan said confusedly, "What's the matter?" Are you crying like this? After that, Liu Fan turned his head and said to Zhang Kun, whose eyes were slightly red, "General Fan, what's wrong?" ”
Zhang Kun pursed his lips and sighed, "On the way back, we met Wang Zhi's pirate army. They attacked us, and many of our brothers died in that battle. General, he felt that he had caused such a result, so he kept thinking about it..."
Hearing Zhang Kun's explanation, Liu Fan finally understood the general situation of the matter, and looked at Fan Liang, who was still choked. Liu Fan hurriedly helped him up and comforted: "As a soldier, life does not belong to you the moment you step into the barracks!" The horse leather shroud is the highest honor of a soldier. Fan Liang, you don't have to mind too much. Losing in battle is a blessing for those soldiers! Get up! Stand up like a man and wipe away your tears! ”
After a pause, Liu Fan looked directly into Fan Liang's eyes and said, "What you should do now is not to cry like a girl." It's about standing up and taking your own responsibility, although I don't know what you've been through, but I know that there are still many people waiting for you to appease, alive and dead, the most painful thing about this war is not you, but the families of those soldiers who have lost their loved ones! Do you understand? ”
Liu Fan's words stabbed straight into Fan Liang's heart with a sharp sword, and looking at Liu Fan's embarrassed gaze, Fan Liang suddenly felt extremely ashamed. Fan Liang's feelings for Liu Fan are actually very complicated, there is admiration, admiration, gratitude, and awe! For any sentence of Liu Fan, Fan Liang will work hard to understand and implement it. Now hearing Liu Fan's words, Fan Liang seems to understand something.
"The Overseer is right, the lowly should do his duty! Rest assured, you know what to do! After saying that, he saluted Liu Fan with a "pop", and turned around to leave.
Liu Fan hurriedly shouted, "Don't go yet!" I haven't finished speaking! ”
"Huh!?" Fan Liang turned his head in astonishment, and said with a blank expression, "Didn't you ask me to comfort the families of the soldiers who died in battle?" Am I thinking wrong! ”
"Uh," Liu Fan said with a smile and a smile, "I really saw you just now, silly boy." Now you've figured it out for yourself. There's no need to do it right away, I have more important things to ask you, come back to me! (To be continued.) )
