Section 469 Going to sea (I)
When I heard this, I couldn't help but sneer: "Mr. Lu is really thinking about it, if someone who doesn't know hears it, he still thinks that you are my military advisor." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lu Wu said: "It's really a little reluctant to give you such a piece of fat in Dinghai City." It's a pity that I don't have a foundation in the southeastern provinces, so it's better to give it to you than to cheapen the Qing army. Of course, we will meet on the battlefield one day, but that is also for the future. ”
I said, "It's nonsense that you've said so much, and the owner of this village hasn't heard a single substantive suggestion. ”
Lu Wu said: "I have issued an order to use all the forces in Zhejiang Province to secretly collect ships crossing the sea for you. However, this is only an auxiliary role, and the most important thing is that I will help you win a chance to enter Dinghai City. ”
I was stunned and said, "What! Inside Dinghai City? ”
Lu Wu said: "Yes, knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles." Since Dinghai City was captured by the Qing army, it has been completely sealed off from the outside world, and no one knows the true situation inside. We sent two disciples to infiltrate the inside, but both were found and killed. Some time ago, a logistics supply fleet of the Qing army went north to deliver military supplies to the army on the island, but encountered a storm on the way and wiped out the whole army. One of the bodies floated to the shore and was found by us, and we found tokens and official documents in his arms. As luck would have it, the crew was about the same age as you, so it wouldn't be hard for you to sneak into the city with a slight change of appearance. ”
I frowned and said, "How do you change your face?" ”
Lu Wu said: "There are nearly 100,000 horses in Lianyun Village, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, don't you even know how to disguise?" ”
I said, "If there are relatives or friends of that crew member on the island, if we meet, will I have to show up?" ”
"I have sent someone to investigate in advance, this person is from the port of Thunder God Island in the South China Sea, and the Qing troops on the island are all from the western inland region. They belong to different systems and no one will recognize them. ”
I thought for a long time and was finally moved by him, and nodded, "Where's that token?" ”
Early the next morning, Zhou Tai really raised his tent to gather generals and told the news of the annihilation of the 3,000 troops yesterday.
The originally unruly coach seemed to be more than ten years old at this time, drooping his head and not saying a word, and the Yuezhou Taishou Lu Gou Ming spoke.
Lu Gouming's expression was very sad when he talked about the tactical defeat, but his tone was a little impassioned, not like a defeated general.
Zhou Tai squinted his eyes from time to time and stared fiercely at Lu Gouming's back, as if he had some hatred.
I was confused, and I felt that it was not easy.
All the warships have been lost, and it would be a waste of food and time to stay here any longer.
Zhou Tai had no choice but to order the divisions to return to the cities, and he personally went to Hangzhou to plead guilty to King Zhong.
After the meeting was adjourned, the generals walked out of the main tent with their heads bowed and dejected.
When I passed by Zhou Tai, I wanted to sarcastically say a few words to him, but I could see that he was like now, and I felt a little unbearable in my heart, so I stopped talking after a light sigh.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Tai suddenly said to me: "Master Li Zhai is slow, I have something to say." ”
This is the first time I have heard Zhou Tai call himself so politely, and I stopped at the moment.
Zhou Tai looked left and right as if he was alert, and when he saw that there was no one else, he took a few steps forward and came to me, and whispered: "Master Li Zhai is prescient, it's my Zhou Tai's mistake." ”
I was stunned: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the matter has come to this, and the commander doesn't need to worry too much." ”
Zhou Tai smiled bitterly: "More than 3,000 people died, they are all my Zhou Tai's brothers!" He suddenly lowered his voice and said: "To tell you the truth, I didn't want to take too much risk, but I couldn't help but have someone keep talking in my ear, asking me to take advantage of the new defeat of the Qing army to forcibly attack the island and catch the other party off guard." Alas, in fact, I am also to blame for being too greedy and reckless, and harming my brothers......"
As soon as I heard that someone kept persuading Zhou Tai to attack the island, I felt that it was not simple, and I hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
A trace of hatred flashed in Zhou Tai's eyes, and he said, "Yuezhou is too guarded by Lu Gouming. ”
I was stunned, "Why is he?" ”
Zhou Taidao: "It's this old boy who is urging me to hurry up across the sea to attack the island." After learning the news of the defeat of our army, King Zhong sent a fast horse to deliver a letter in the early morning, ordering me to hand over the army to Sima of Mingzhou, and then go to Hangzhou to receive the guilt. The establishment of the coalition army in each city still exists, but the commander has been replaced by the old boy Lu Gouming. Alas, I fucking regret not listening to your advice! ”
The more I thought about it, the more complicated I felt, Lu Gou clearly said to himself that he had opposed Zhou Tai's rash attack on the island, but behind his back, he kept encouraging him to go to sea, what was this for?
Is it just for a temporary appointment to the managerial position?
Just as he was pondering, Lu Gouming's voice sounded from behind: "The two of you had a good conversation, and they reconciled so quickly?" Congratulations! ”
Zhou Tai snorted coldly, said "be careful" to me, and then strode away.
I pretended I hadn't heard anything and went up to him to say hello.
Lu Gouming whispered in my ear: "If you lose this expedition, Zhou Taishou is to blame." You and I had previously urged him not to rush forward, and he was already jealous that I had been appointed as the new commander-in-chief. Master Li Zhai, we will cooperate closely in the future, you must not fall for others to sow discord. After saying that, he drifted away.
Looking at the elegant and handsome middle-aged man in front of me, like an apricot forest coat, I didn't know who to listen to for a while.
I bumped this matter into Guan Qingfeng, although Guan Qingfeng was unwilling to let me take the risk alone, but there was no better way, and second, I couldn't resist me, so I had to agree to help me keep it a secret, and announced to the villagers that he had gone to Jiangsu Province to do business.
The hearts of the people have always been full of mystery about this big village master, and the leaders are responsible for the affairs of the village as before, and they don't care about my disappearance.
In order to dress up realistically, I rode my horse south for more than 1,000 miles to the seaport of Quanzhou City on the coast of Fujian Province, where the Qing army's logistical supply fleet was wrecked.
Every day, boats go to the Bohai Bay in the north, passing through the Dinghai Islands.
If that crew member survives, it will be the fastest way to Dinghai City from here.
When we arrived at the Harbor Inn, Lu Wu and I secretly connected to each other, and with the help of a disguiser in the village, we changed our appearance to look exactly like the wrecked young crew member, and also got a bottle of pills.
Lu Wu stuffed me with a ticket, and I took it to the port, and sure enough, I saw a five-story building ship parked there.
I had never seen such a huge sea ship before, and I was amazed at the moment.
At this moment, I am wearing a set of coarse linen clothes, dark and thin, and I look like a young fisherman who lives by the sea all year round.
Jumped on the bow of the ship and came to the noisy deck.
