A large ship sailed out of Penglai Island.

Tai Shi Gong stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the big pirate ship that was not very far away from him.

On the deck, the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, wearing royal blue battle robes, mounted their bows and wound up to prepare for battle.

When Yuan Xu was in Penglai, he drew patterns and asked craftsmen to make sails.

The copper-clad hull is equipped with four-masted sails, and as soon as the Penglai warship comes out, the pirates will have the idea of fleeing in all directions.

Standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the pirate ship, Tai Shigong looked indifferent.

A Penglai warship was spotted approaching, and several pirate ships cruising nearby were in a panic.

Two even turned around and left.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu arranged for Tai Shi Gong to do just to disperse the pirate ship.

The pirates have left, and of course he is happy to see them!

Getting closer and closer to the pirate ship, Tai Shi Gong shouted: "This is the Penglai Realm, and the big ship ahead will leave quickly!" ”

His voice was loud, roaring through the waves, and reaching the ears of Guan Cheng and Guo Zu on the ship.

came to the vicinity of Penglai, just to find out the truth.

In order to avoid conflict, Guan Cheng immediately ordered: "Turn the rudder and get out of here!" ”

The big ship in charge turned around and left, and when Guo Zu saw this, he also hurriedly ordered.

Although the Penglai warship had four masts, the hull was clad in copper, which limited the speed.

The pirate ship is made of wood, and the hull is designed to be a narrow conical shape to make it easier to escape quickly after raiding.

There was no response, and seeing that the pirates turned around and left, Tai Shi Gong instructed the soldiers on the bow of the ship: "Stop the ship!" ”

The big ship slowly stopped, watching the pirates go away, Tai Shigong said, "I'll wait to return!" ”

Pirates cruise around Penglai. The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion had already held back their strength.

I thought there would be a fight, but I didn't expect it to be close. The pirates have already run away.

Looking at the pirate warship in the distance, the captain next to Tai Shigong spat and scolded: "Mother's leg." Lao Tzu thought there was a battle to be fought! ”

"Want to go to war?" Glancing at the captain, Tai Shi Gong asked.

"Since the boy defeated Guo Jia, I will wait until I return to Penglai, and I will practice all day long!" The captain said: "If you don't go into battle and fight in this armor, you will be holding back a bird on the island all day long!" ”

"Hurry!" Tai Shi Gong said: "When the son returns, sooner or later there will be a time for you to wait for the war!" ”

"I just hope that this day will come sooner!"

The pirates fled, and Tai Shi Gong shouted to the soldiers on board: "Turn the bow of the ship, I'll wait to return!" ”

The big ship turns the rudder. Head to Penglai Port.

On the coast, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi watched from afar.

Seeing that the pirates were far away, Tian Feng said, "What do you think of the frustrated prince? ”

"What does Yuan Hao think?"

"In a certain opinion, or there is a real war coming!" Tian Feng said: "If the pirates don't come to investigate, General Taishi will go, but just deal with a few words." When he saw the big ship of our army, he turned around and left, which is not a lack of heart, how can he explain it? ”

"Childe has not returned yet, so we must make preparations as soon as possible." Frustrated said: "I'm afraid that the son will arrive in Donglai." The pirates will intercept them in the middle of the sea, and they will have to send a large ship to meet them! ”

"What the frustrated prince said is very true!" Tian Feng responded.

Penglai found that the pirates had the intention of attacking, and led several large ships back to Guo Zu and Guan Cheng, and landed on the coast after dark.

He Kui was already waiting. When he saw the big ship docking, he hurried to meet it.

"Two generals, how's that?" met Guan Cheng and Guo Zu. He asked.

"Penglai is heavily guarded, and we haven't been investigating for long. Then a big ship arrived. Guan Cheng said: "In order to avoid conflict, the two of us will lead the crowd back!" ”

"The two generals are confused!" It was learned that the two had withdrawn because Penglai had sent a warship. He Kui paused and said: "Penglai sent a warship, and the two of them only need to wait for him to get close and say to the people on the boat that they are passing by." If you withdraw like this, I am afraid that Cao Gong's decision to determine the enemy will be known! ”

Guo Zu and Guan Cheng looked at each other in amazement.

Finding that the Penglai warship was approaching, the two of them just wanted to leave as soon as possible, where did they think of this layer?

"What can I do?" Guo Zu asked.

"It's okay!" He Kui said: "It will take time for Cao Gong's army to come here, so don't get close to Penglai in the near future." I heard that Yuan Xianxin had already left Yecheng, so he could send a warship to wait in Donglai. If Yuan Xianxin can be captured and killed in one fell swoop, why worry that Penglai will not be broken! ”

Guo Zu and Guan Cheng nodded to each other.

He Kui promised them that they could be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister, and of course the two of them wanted to make great contributions.

The Cao army is about to attack Penglai, and there is nothing more meritorious than capturing Yuan Xianxin!

In the days that followed, many pirate ships cruised back and forth along the coast of Donglai.

Penglai did not respond to this.

Yuan Xu, who left Yecheng, had entered Qingzhou at this time.

Knowing that Yuan Xu was going to Penglai, there were few officials along the way who came to greet him.

Don't talk about Yuan Xu, just talk about Yuan Tan.

Leaving Yecheng half a day later, he always hung behind Yuan Xu's team, keeping a hundred miles away from him.

After entering Qingzhou, the scouts have returned several times, and Yuan Xu is greeted from afar.

Every time he was rewarded, Yuan Tan's face would be even more gloomy.

Yuan Xu abandoned Yecheng and left it to Yuan Shang.

I thought that Hebei was at my fingertips, but I didn't expect to end up in such a situation, no matter what excuses and reasons he found, he couldn't convince himself.

What's even more hateful is that when Yuan Xu left Yecheng, he was powerless to fight with Yuan Shang and had to leave with him.

"The eldest son." Seeing that Yuan Tan's face was not good, Guo Tu called lightly.

was full of Yecheng, but Yuan Tan didn't hear his call.

Guo Tu raised his voice and called again: "Eldest son! ”

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and then asked Guo Tu, "What did Guo Gong say?" ”

"Since entering Qingzhou, the eldest son's face is not good." Guo Tu said: "But think of the matter of Yecheng? ”

"Exactly!" Yuan Tan said: "I can't figure it out, what is Xianxin thinking? The good Yecheng was actually handed over to Xianfu! ”

"Did the fifth prince say something to the eldest son?"

"I said it!" Yuan Tan said: "On his wedding day, he was attacked by an assassin, and he went to visit, and he said that Hebei could not be defended for a long time, and sooner or later it would be broken by Cao Cao. I can't think about this matter thoroughly, Hebei people are outstanding, and Yan Zhao has never been less generous and sad since ancient times! Cao Cao attacked Hebei, and we were not completely powerless to fight back. Why will it be broken by the Cao thief? ”

"In the battle of Yijing, the eldest son knew how to break the city, and he also knew." Lowering his voice, Guo Tu said: "Since the beginning of the battle, has the fifth prince missed it? ”

"It seems like very little mistake is made." Yuan Tan frowned.

"The subordinates of Hebei respect the five sons, and it is nothing more than because of this." Guo Tu said: "But he gave Yecheng to the third prince, which is hard to fathom!" ”

With a gloomy face, Yuan Tan didn't say anything more.

Guo Tu said to him: "The third prince won Hebei, although the fifth prince wanted to let it. But it is also related to his false transmission of Yuan Gong's last life! If there is no fate, how can the fifth prince give up Yecheng? It's just because I don't want to disobey my will. ”

"What exactly does Guo Gong want to say?" Yuan Tan asked.

"If the eldest son is not angry in his heart, he will only ask the third prince to transfer troops and horses in the name of consolidating Qingzhou's defense. If he refuses, he can go to attack with the right name! The fifth son will not, and the eldest son will not take it himself? (To be continued.) )
