I didn't expect there to be such a play, so I smiled and said, "I see, I said that this Zhou Tai is always looking at us unpleasantly." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Brother Guan, you should have reminded me a long time ago, Zhou Tai seems to be a person who holds grudges this time, so we should be careful to watch out for him in the future." ”

Guan Qingfeng bowed and said: "What the master of Dazhai said is that I was negligent. Alas, more than a hundred ships wanted to capture the Dinghai Islands, and I don't know how many Taiping troops would die here. ”

I resolutely said, "Tai won't listen to us this week, anyway, I won't joke with the lives of the brothers in the village." ”

Guan Qingfeng said: "I have a hunch that this operation will be extremely unfavorable to the Taiping Army, and we must make mental preparations in advance." ”

I nodded and said, "No matter what, I will capture Dinghai City." If the Taiping Army can't do it, then let's go. Brother Guan, please secretly assign people to various places to prepare ships to cross the sea, the more the better. Once the Taiping army fails to cross the sea, these only ships will also be lost, and if we want to attack the island next, we must make various preparations in advance. Of course, these things cannot be known to the Taiping army. ”

Guan Qingfeng responded: "Yes!" The subordinates then ordered to go down. It's getting late, so let's go back. ”

I smiled: "I happen to be hungry, let's go, go back to eat!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a loud rallying trumpet suddenly sounded from the harbor in the distance.

Feng and Guan's faces changed, and they hurriedly used light skills to sweep towards the port.

When the two came to the port, they saw a dense crowd of Taiping troops rushing to more than 100 large and small ships moored on the shore.

Lu Gouming was watching the troops board the ship from the side, and when he saw me coming, he stepped forward very politely to say hello.

I said, "Lord Lu, are you going to attack the island now?" Why is it in such a hurry? ”

Lu Gouming sighed lightly: "Who said it wasn't? I also know that the preparation is not sufficient, and there will be many variables in the middle, but Lord Zhou is bent on capturing Dinghai City as soon as possible, and he will not listen to what I say. Alas......"

I couldn't help but come to Mingzhou Taishou Zhou Tai and said, "Zhou Dashuai, let's leave some boats." If the first people to land have an accident, we also have a boat to pick it up. ”

Zhou Tai flatly refused: "These ships are still too few, if you leave some more, the troops to attack the island will not be enough." Master Li Zhai, you are still young and have not experienced any major battles, so let's learn a little. So be it, you ......"

I knew that Zhou Tai would never listen to him, so he turned around and left without waiting for him to say more.

Guan Qingfeng greeted him and sighed, "Zhou Tai definitely won't listen to your advice." Alas, it seems that these 3,000 men and horses are going to pay for Zhou Tai's stupidity in vain. ”

I said with a gloomy face: "Brother Guan, Zhou Tai is fooling around, we can't waste time with him." With Zhou Tai's Taoism, it is impossible to attack Dinghai City. Let's take a long-term view in private. ”

At night, there is a cool breeze.

I gathered with Guan Qingfeng and the three captains in the main tent to discuss how to leave aside the Taiping army and capture Dinghai City alone.

After thinking about it, everyone was never able to come up with a feasible plan, so they had no choice but to disperse.

I lay on the bed tossing and turning, my eyes were about to close, and my keen sense of thought suddenly judged that there was a familiar true qi outside the account, and immediately pulled out the bed and stabbed it, and a bone jumped up from the bed, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who? ”

"Lord Dazhai, it's me, Lu Wu. I'm waiting for you at Wangfu Cliff, three miles east of the harbor. ”

I hurried out of the tent, only to find that there was no shadow of Lu Wu at the door.

The two guards fell to the ground, and I was relieved when I poked into their chests and saw that they had been put to sleep.

In order not to alarm others, I did not unlock the acupoints of the two, but quietly went to Wangfu Cliff at night.

Lu Wu stood on the top of the cliff, and a silver filament flew up, I don't know if it was because of the sea breeze or the agitation of his own true qi.

I came to a stop five steps behind him, and said coldly: "Even the military camp dares to break in, Mr. Lu is really bold." ”

Lu Wu smiled indifferently without looking back: "The master of the village has won the award, and the old man can come and go freely in the army of millions, not to mention the military camp of tens of thousands of people in this area." ”

I carried the knife on my shoulder, leaned on a rock beside me, and said, "There is a way to go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything." Say, what's the matter with coming to me? ”

Lu Wu pointed to the sea level in front of him with his right hand and sighed: "Zhou Tai is really a big fool. It is nothing that he sacrificed 3,000 men and horses in vain, but even the last batch of ships was lost, and when and what month will he be able to attack the island again? ”

My heart sank and I asked, "Are all the 3,000 men ......?"

Lu Wu nodded and said slowly: "At first, the fleet's offensive was very smooth, and it took several outlying islands one after another. Unfortunately, the fleet encountered low tide after landing on Peach Blossom Island, and all the ships got stuck in the mud and sand on the beachhead. With the assistance of Nuwa and other Protoss masters, the 5,000 elite soldiers on the island took advantage of the situation and killed only half of the 3,000 Taiping troops. The remaining half of the ship was pushed overboard in time, but on the way back it was hit by a strong wind and tsunami, and all of them were killed. That strange wind came too suddenly, and it was probably the mages in the Qing army who were doing it. ”

Although I knew that the consequences would be like this, but now listening to Lu Wu's story, my heart is still shocked.

After I was silent for a long time, I asked, "How did you know about these things even if the generals on the shore didn't know about them?" ”

Lu Wu said: "Is there anything I can't know?" Tomorrow morning, Zhou Tai will be promoted to gather generals, and you will know by then. ”

"Then what are you looking for me for?"

Lu Wu slowly turned around, and the two fine lights in his eyes shone directly at me, "Has the master of the village forgotten our agreement in Huaijiangshan that day?" ”

I said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, what I promised you will definitely be done." However, if what you just said is correct, then we don't even have the last ship to cross the sea, so what should I do to attack the island? Did you swim from the sea? ”

Lu Wu said dumbly: "The master of the big village laughed. The old man came this time, firstly, to tell you the battle situation, and secondly, to give you some advice. ”

"Oh, what advice?"

"You sent hundreds of soldiers to the nearby coastal villages to collect boats to cross the sea, and you did the right thing. However, the fortifications of Dinghai City are impregnable, and even if all of your 30,000 horses and horses from Yunzhai board the ship, I am afraid that they will not be able to attack it. ”

I didn't expect such a confidential matter to be known by Lu Wu, I was shocked and frightened, and said with a wry smile: "You are really pervasive, the order I just gave in the afternoon was known to you." Your intelligence work is really in place. ”

Lu Wu smiled noncommittally and continued: "If Lianyunzhai wants to attack the island smoothly, he must put aside Zhou Tai, a stupid drag oil bottle. In fact, after the failure of this sea crossing, King Zhong will immediately remove Zhou Tai from the post of commander and replace it with someone else, and the 70,000 troops will also temporarily retreat to the mainland, and will go here again when they are fully prepared to cross the sea. This period of time will not be very long, nor will it be very short, if you Lianyunzhai can make good use of it, Dinghai City will become a stable rear for you and all forces to compete in the Central Plains. ”
