When dusk fell and the bonfires were built, the fat sheep, which had been roasted to a golden brown, were cut off by the firemen and distributed among the soldiers and the common people who were rejoicing with the people, who drank wine in large bowls and ate large pieces of meat.

On the surface of the Yellow River, black shadows suddenly appeared. Wu Chu stood by the river and said in a deep voice: "This time in battle, you should forge ahead and make meritorious contributions to the enemy!" ”

The generals behind him had solemn faces, and immediately bowed down and said, "Follow the teachings of His Highness!" ”

In this way, the cheers from outside the camp in the distance could no longer affect the young soldiers, and their eyes immediately looked at the black shadow of the boat on the river.

But in a moment, a clipper came first, holding the lamp, and the two teenagers jumped off the bow of the boat heroically, came to Wu Zheng's side, knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "The child has seen his father, and the child is fortunate to be dishonored, and he will return with the boat!" ”

Wu Chu said slowly: "You two get up, the army has its own rules in the army, and you must strictly abide by military discipline!" ”

"Yes, Father!" The two teenagers got up and stepped aside.

These two teenagers are Wu Chongwu, the second son of Wu Chongwu and the fourth son Wu Chongyong, the two have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and their physiques are strong, especially Wu Chongyong seems to have natural divine power, and now he is only fourteen years old, he can lift two hundred catties of boulders, but unfortunately, his limbs are developed, but his mind is not very bright, which makes Wu Chongyong very headache. As for Wu Chongwu, his martial arts are quite acceptable now, and he has some brains, but he can only be the commander of an army in the future. The two of them are the best in martial arts among the heirs of the Fuzhong, and they don't know how to do it, so this time, they let them go out of the Jiangnan Boat Company first to borrow a boat as a test for joining the army, and now they have returned safely. Wu Chu had no choice but to let the two join the army.

Wu Chu ordered: "Order all battalions to board the ship in turn and strictly observe military discipline." But those who disobey military discipline and military orders will be severely punished! ”

"Yes!" The generals agreed, and then commanded the battalions of the headquarters.

Wu Chu turned around and saw the two little guys trembling, he said: "After crossing the river, the two of you will use the pseudonyms Dong Wu and Fan Yong, and Chongyong will report to the first scout team. Remember, you can't reveal your true identity at any time. Otherwise, just go home and stay for me, you know? ”

Wu Chongwu immediately bowed down and said, "Father, don't worry, the son is a meritorious servant who killed the enemy!" ”

Wu Chuan nodded. Approvingly, he said, "You have such an awareness. That's a good thing, but remember to protect yourself at all times! He stepped forward, touched Wu Chongyong's leather armor and said, "It seems that your mother has brought you all the high-quality leather armor she treasured. Cherish it. ”

"Yes, Father!" Wu Chongyong's face had a look of determination.

Suddenly. Wu Chongyong on the side asked, "Father, where is the child going?" ”

Wu Shu looked at this fourth son, who was a little handsome in appearance but very stupid, and he smiled slightly: "You are still young, so stay in your father's personal guard." Look, I gave your mother a set of leather armor back then, and now it's all put on for you, according to your physique, after a few years, you can't wear it, stinky boy, you have to take care of it, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, Father!" Wu Chongyong said dumbfoundedly.

At this time, as if several fire dragons appeared on the river, Wu Zheng asked, "How many boats have you got this time?" ”

Wu Chongwu bowed and said: "Back to my father, this time the child and the fourth brother went to Jiangnan and got a total of one hundred and thirty-eight boats, including thirty-three hundred stone boats, fifty eighty stone boats, and the rest are fifty stone boats, fifty-two, and three canopy clippers. ”

Wu Chu nodded and said, "There are fewer boats, but with those fishing boats, it shouldn't be a problem to cross the Yellow River tonight." Then he ordered: "Sue the boatmen, sail at night, be safe, and do not waste your life rashly!" ”

Since the messenger sent the order, Wu Chu said slowly: "Board the ship!" ”

Immediately, the guards sent out a cloud-piercing arrow, which carried a red tail flame and flew straight into the night sky, and finally disappeared completely after hearing a sound.

Not long after, a three-story boat slowly docked, Wu Chu got off the dock first, and then boarded the building boat, Wu Hei and other guards on the building boat bowed down to greet him, and was about to salute, Wu Chu said: "Excuse me, let Lao Wu be careful, this Yellow River water is not restless at night!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wu Hei bowed down and agreed.

Wu Chuan took his two sons into his study, which was filled with all kinds of books, basically printed editions, in case the ship was destroyed and the books died. Wu Zhengjing sat down, opened the map casually, and studied it again.

After a while, he raised his head and saw that his second son was still standing, motionless, and felt a little helpless, he was really a little stern in the eyes of the children. So he said, "You two have been sailing for many days, and you are tired, and there are many rooms in the boat, so you can choose to rest for a while." ”

Only then did the second son bow and retreat.

In this war in Hebei, Wu Chu has nothing to worry about at all, although there are a lot of recruits this time, so he has to take it seriously, but the layout has been nearly a year, and what should be prepared has been prepared. Zhang Jiujie's troops in the Qinghe area have 10,000 soldiers, Li Duozuo's troops in Zhuozhou now have nearly 20,000, Weizhou's Xue Ne department has 20,000, and Guo Zhiyun's Wuwei army, which is 30,000 cavalry, and the secret army of the Ryukyus, with nearly 20,000, and 130,000 here. What's more, Guo Zhiyun and the Ryukyu army were secret armies, and even the empress and the imperial court did not know that they would participate in the Hebei war.

If this still fails, then Wu Chuan can really go to find a piece of tofu and kill him, and what else do you want to create a prosperous dynasty!

Therefore, the map that Wu Chuan looked at was a map of a territory that had never existed since the Central Plains Dynasty. His fingers lightly swiped along the Arctic Ocean, and further down, including the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, Khorasan, Xindu, most of the Tianzhu Kingdoms, and so on, and then to the east, he paused. The lack of seafaring skills made it difficult to conquer the Fuso Islands, but if he hadn't known that there were some of the world's best gold and silver veins on those islands, he might have really given up without hesitation.

In his lifetime, there were so many things to do that Wu Chu had a sense of urgency.

"After this battle in Hebei, we really can't wait any longer." He said to himself. He finally made up his mind.

Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook slightly, and Wu Chu suddenly woke up. When he walked out of the cabin, he saw that the guards were already standing on the bow of the ship, and the boatman Lao Wu was already waiting, and when he saw His Highness coming out, he bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the ship has docked, and it didn't disturb you, right?" ”

Wu Chu said with a smile: "Lao Wu's skills, what else is the king not worried about. Well, don't cross the river tonight, and go back tomorrow at dawn. ”

Your Highness's words are holy decrees. Since it is a holy decree, he cannot disobey it, and he can only bow down and receive the command.

Wu Chu stood on the bow of the boat, looked at the dense torches on the river, and said, "The battalions that have come ashore have been ordered. Immediately choose a place to set up camp. Ordered the scouts to probe thirty miles away, just in case. ”

So, after giving a series of orders, Wu Shui disembarked.

Monan, grassland.

Since the defeat of the Later Turks, the remnants of its various tribes have also been slowly annexed by the Uighurs over time, and Mobei has also been quietly occupied by the Uighurs. But because of the Wuqi Earthquake Grassland, they did not dare to go south again. But it is certain that if Hui Hui brings more than 200,000 armor, maybe he will still go south and plunder the frontier.

But now, Hui did not dare to go south, and Wu Zong did not have the energy to conquer.

On this day, under the surrendered city of the Monan grassland, slowly galloping like an endless cavalry, and when they arrived at the surrendered city, they suddenly stopped.

A general, Le Ma, stopped, looked up at the dilapidated surrendered city, and said: "In the past, Han Wu ordered Gongsun Ao to build a city to accept the surrender of the Xiongnu, and it has been more than 700 years. As courtiers, we should do our best to fulfill the wish of Your Highness, do you understand? ”

The generals immediately clasped their fists and said, "The last general understands!" ”

Guo Zhiyun continued: "This surprise attack on the rear of the Khitan, the soldiers are very fast, you must order the people of the headquarters to strictly abide by military discipline, otherwise, it will be this general who spares you, and His Royal Highness can't rub sand in his eyes!" ”

Then he yelled and said, "Enter the city and rest for an hour!" ”

Dengzhou, Penglai.

Penglai in the early morning, shrouded in a fog, the sea outside Penglai, shrouded in dense fog, like the substance, there are a lot of fishing boats docked at the ferry, so thick fog, fishermen do not dare to go out to sea to fish, although it is offshore, but may be lost in the dense fog.

But there are also adventurous young fishermen who take advantage of the fog to catch big, plump fish that can be sold at the market for a good price.

The fisherman Chai Dazhuang is a villager of a small fishing village outside Penglai City, the young man has just gotten married, and he is full of energy, and he has been fishing many times on a foggy day like this. So this morning, he and his younger brother Erzhuang rowed a fishing boat early and went to sea.

On the surface of the sea shrouded in thick fog, you can feel the fog wet and soft when you stretch out your hand, just like your own woman's tits, and even when you pass it with your hand, you can see wisps of fog on your hand, which is rare. Da Zhuang regretted a little in his heart, but he had already gone to sea, and if he went back like this, he would not be laughed at by others. If he wanted to be strong, he rowed the boat violently without saying a word.

The younger brother Erzhuang waved his hand and grabbed the fog, trying to identify the direction, but after waving for a long time, it was still in vain, and a worried look appeared on his face, so he said: "Brother, this fog is too thick, let's go back!" ”

"I'm afraid, let's come out, and then go back, it's not enough for others to laugh!"

Er Zhuang saw that the eldest brother said this, and he was obedient since he was a child, so he stopped talking, saw the fishing net at the stern, and then picked up the oars to help row the boat.

In the depths of the thick fog, suddenly, like a monster suddenly burst out, and the tall figure suddenly stunned the brothers.

Boom!

There was a bang, and the fishing boat was broken by the waist, and the two brothers screamed and fell into the sea. At the moment of falling into the sea, the two brothers saw clearly that it was a huge ship.

On the huge ship, a big man wearing a silver mask suddenly moved his ears and said, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Several sergeants on the side shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

Soon a soldier came and said, "Tell the general, the fog is shrouded, and a fishing boat has been sunk." ”

Dahan suddenly said angrily: "Have you ever rescued the fishermen on the boat? ”

The soldier said: "They have been rescued, but they have drunk a lot of water and are still in a coma, and they still ask the general to decide." ”

Dahan paused, walked out of the cabin, looked at the fog covering the sky, and sighed: "Such a fog, although it is conducive to my march, but it has harmed this fisherman who eats by the sea. ”

Thinking so, the big man ordered: "The fleet continues to move forward, and the two fishermen will stay for the time being, and give food, and do not slack off!" (To be continued......)
