On the first day of April, all day, the scouts of the Wei army's northern camp in Kim Yong City on the mountain watched the opposite bank from the top of the mountain for a whole day. 1 - For a whole day, the scouts of the Wei army did not dare to blink their eyes, and kept staring at the Hebei Water Village at the Mengjin Ferry.

But until the sun sets and the moon rises, the Hebei water village is still the same, and there is no sign of enlightenment. Early this morning, Li Mi and the others, who had made a comprehensive deployment, had already sent a team of messengers, carrying his letters, to send orders to various places and transfer troops. And later, Li Mi also took the generals directly to Luokou. In order to be safe, among the generals of Kim Yong City, Li Mi arranged for his henchman Wang Bodang to stay behind, and all the other generals were brought to Luokou.

Especially the second general Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji, since he had the idea of suspicion of them in his heart, Li Mi felt that these people could no longer be trusted. Although during this discussion, Xu Shiji was very diligent and conscientious, and there was no possibility that he would secretly communicate with Chen Kefu. However, Li Mi had already regarded this ambush as a decisive battle with Chen Guo, so he had no intention of relaxing.

Not only did he take Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin to Luokou, but he was also worried that when he fought with Chen Kefu, the two of them would turn against each other, so he simply ordered Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin to lead the soldiers and horses led by the old brothers of the Wagang Army in Kim Yong City to rush to Baihua Valley to station. and transferred Huang Junhan, who was stationed at Jindi Pass, to Hujiao Pass, and transferred Bing Yuanzhen, the guard of the original Tiger Pass, to Jindi Pass, and transferred Li Junxian and Liu Heimin, who were stationed at Jindi Pass, to Luokou with his subordinates.

Li Mi gathered the generals in Luokou, and Wang Dangren, Xie Yingdeng, Hao Xiaode, Wang Shu, Xu Yuanlang, Zu Junyan, Fang Xuanzao, Liu Heimin, Li Junxian, Shen Luoyan and other generals each led their troops to arrive. All of a sudden, Li set up an ambush at Luokou with an army of 120,000 troops, preparing to ambush Chen Kefu.

It's just that for a whole day, there was no sign of the Hebei soldiers in the Mengjin ferry about to set off.

A group of Wei troops was sent by the left-behind general Wang Bodang to the south bank of the Yellow River to investigate closely, and the group of soldiers carefully lurked in the grass on the bank. My eyes were sour, but I still didn't see any movement.

"Wang Tou, I don't think this Chen Pojun will leave today. It was all dark, and there was no movement at all. A soldier said with some dissatisfaction, he had been lurking on this shore for most of the day, and there was nothing but the cold wind. Especially at this time, the smell of food wafting from the water village on the other side made the soldier's stomach even more hungry.

The man who was called Wang Tou did not answer, and still watched the water village on the other side very seriously. However, in his heart, he actually agreed with the views of his subordinates. Today is the beginning of the month, and there is no moon in the sky. And today it was very windy, and not only was there no moonlight in the sky, but it was also full of dark clouds, and not even a star could be seen. If it weren't for the torches in the water village opposite, such a night, I wouldn't be able to see my fingers at all.

Sailing at night is dangerous. What's more, the boats of the Hebei Navy Division were all big ships that he had never seen before, this kind of large ship several stories high, it was very troublesome to sail in the Yellow River in broad daylight, so he had to be careful. What's more, in this windy dark night, if you are not careful, you will have an accident, and if you don't get it right, you will have to hit the ship and run aground or something. There are still more than 100 ships sailing at night like this, isn't this looking for death?

Wang Tou shook his head, and he had already decided in his heart that the Hebei soldier would not leave tonight. "Watch for another hour, and we'll go back to camp."

The scouts kept an eye on it for another hour, and the voices in the water village on the other side gradually fell silent, and even the lights slowly went out. Eventually, nothing could be heard except for the croaking of frogs and insects and the sound of waves in the river. On the other side of the river, there were only a few fires left, and the tall warships were all like familiar beasts, hiding all their hideous figures. …,

What the departing scouts didn't realize was that there was no sleep in the waterhouse in the dark silence of the night.

Under the night, the gate of the water village has been opened, and several small boats have sailed out of the water village in the night. Under the guidance of those small boats, the warships in the water village slowly sailed away one by one. The battleship that slowly sailed out made only a slight sound, and the waves of the battleship gently lapped against the sides of the ship on both sides and on the fence of the water wall, making a gentle lapping sound.

The boats in front were not lit, and the ships behind were similarly unlit. On the small boat in front, a soldier waved several slightly shiny flags, guiding the warship behind. Looking at the past from the far side of the mountain, those glimmers of light are simply imperceptible. Occasionally, if you find it, you will only think that it is the light on the Yellow River.

From the time after dark, to the end of the day, it was almost two full hours. All the warships in the water village were guided by small ships to leave the water village and slowly flow down the water.

The night breeze at the beginning of April is very cool, and the gentle and comfortable wind gently blows on the face, as smooth as silk.

The night is dark, and the sky is late.

The soldiers of the Hebei Navy Division did not feel sleepy at all, and all the soldiers had already bowed and wounded, people were armored, and their swords were unsheathed. There was a light of excitement in those bright eyes.

The soldiers in Hebei all know that the imperial court attaches great importance to literature, but it also attaches great importance to military force. Those who have read and can read will always be given preferential treatment, and even ordinary people, as long as they are educated, will be reused, and even civilians will be directly promoted to officials.

In the army, every non-commissioned officer, when he is not fighting, the non-commissioned officers in the army will also organize the soldiers to read and write. This is a rather rare opportunity for many fighters who have not had access to the pen and ink of books at all before. However, some fighters don't care too much about this, they don't want to be middle-aged, and they start to shake their heads and endorse like their own babies.

But for them, it's okay if they don't want to study seriously, as long as they can write some simple words. After all, in addition to getting ahead by learning. These soldiers, in fact, can get ahead faster by virtue of their military merits.

The imperial court is both literary and martial, and military merit is the most direct and fastest achievement. Not only can you be promoted, but you can also get a lot of rewards for every military achievement. There is money, land, and even sometimes, the imperial court will directly reward a wife to those single soldiers.

It's been a long time since they came out this time, but the soldiers, in addition to sleeping on the ship all day, went to the embankment to drink. I haven't fought a single battle, and I haven't made any military achievements. The hands of the soldiers were itching, and tonight King Chen finally gave the battle order again, how could he not make the soldiers' blood boil.

Tall warships sailed quietly on the Yellow River, sailing in the dark, and it was a fleet of more than 100 large and small warships, which was a very dangerous thing. Zhang Zhongjian, the commander of the water division, personally sat at the front and kept issuing orders one after another. Fortunately, the crew of the sailor division has not only sailed battleships in the sea and lakes, but also in the rivers and rivers. Now, although they can't light the lights and make too much noise when sailing at night, with their excellent skills, they can't make the slightest mistake.

"Your Highness, it's not far ahead to the mouth of the Jishui River." Chen Lei saluted and reminded softly.

Chen Kefu opened his eyes and sat up from the couch. Taking the towel handed by Chen Lei, he washed his face and suddenly sobered up a lot.

Two guards walked in and began to armor Chen Kefu. Under the light of the candlelight in the cabin, pieces of shiny armored troops put on Chen Kefu's body, and from time to time there was a sound of tinkling bells.

Chen Lei held the golden helmet in both hands, and his face was speechless. Chen Kefu understood what he was going to say, and preemptively said, "I know what you want to say, I am the chief general of the first army, how can I leave my own troops." I also understand that you are thinking about my safety, but where is there a safer place for me than our Hebei Army? ”…,

"Your Highness, the last general always feels that this battle is too risky, and the general has also heard the information sent by the Secret Service Division just now, Li Mi has mobilized almost 500,000 soldiers and horses, and we only have 50,000 people. Although His Highness uses soldiers like a god, he can fight two, three, or even one enemy and five, and we have indeed done it before. But at 1 to 10, it's too risky. What's more, in the past, we all took the initiative to attack, but now Li Mi has opened a big net and is waiting for us. What's more, the troops brought this time are still Zhang Dashuai's sailors. It's not that the last general underestimates the water division, but the water division is still a little behind our original broken military camp and other troops. Why don't we go back to Hebei first, and then send troops to fight Li Mi? Chen Lei persuaded.

Chen Kefu, who was wearing full armor, snatched the helmet from Chen Lei's hand, smiled and slapped him, "You kid, fortunately this is in the cabin of this king, if you dare to say this in front of the three armies, it will be a retreat from the battle, shake the morale of the army, and at least have to eat a meal." Saying that, Chen Kefu looked Chen Lei up and down a few times, "You have been with me for a long time, although you have opened up some knowledge, but you have lost a lot of experience." Our soldiers are all real men who are beaten with iron. Chen Lei, when I return to Hebei this time, I will arrange for you to go down to be a battalion commander, and bring a thousand people to adapt first. When you get used to the military life below, how about entrusting you with important responsibilities then? ”

Chen Lei was really diverted by Chen Kefu's thoughts, first stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately. He was originally from Chenjiazhuang, Hebei, but Chen Kefu's own family. He came to Liaodong with Mao Xi and others from Hebei, and served as Chen Kefu's chief of guard as soon as he came.

After staying by Chen Kefu's side for so long, he naturally understood the guards before Chen Kefu. From Luo Lin to Zhang Jin, all of them are now the number of generals in the army, carrying the name of King Chen's henchmen, which can be described as very majestic below. He had thought that there would be such a day before, but when this day really came, he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Chen Kefu saw Chen Lei standing there with some restless thoughts, so he didn't care about him anymore. No matter how Chen Lei persuaded him, he would never give up this battle. Li Mi has been waiting for this battle for a long time, why should he pay for it.

Fighter planes are just available but not sought, fleeting. Since he has encountered such an opportunity, he will never miss it.

Lifting the golden helmet and putting it on, Chen Kefu shook his cloak, pressed the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and strode to the deck on the fifth floor of the cabin.
