Jin Guo, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the minister should be damned! The minister has failed His Majesty's trust, please punish Your Majesty! ”

Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin knelt at the feet of Emperor Wan Yanliang of the Jin Kingdom, a handful of snot and tears, crying so miserably, it was really sad for those who saw it, and cried for those who heard it!

Three months ago, Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin led thousands of ships of the Jin Kingdom to Donghai County to quell the rebellion.

Now, three months have passed, and the rewards of Yan Chi and Abe Luhua have already been squandered, and Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin are like lost dogs, returning from the vast sea.

If Wu Yang saw the two of them at this time, he would be surprised!

Metropolitan eunuch Xu Wen is a literati, with a clear appearance, three short beards under his chin, trimmed extremely neatly, and at first glance he is a noble scholar who holds a rich salary and roars the wind and moon.

Now he has shabby clothes, dirty body, and a thin face, where is he still half noble?

Zhang Hongxin was originally a stocky man, but at this time he was skinny, his eye sockets were deep, he was like a big horse monkey, and he was malnourished!

Wan Yanliang is in a good mood today, he has just frolicked with several concubines in the harem, it is rare that the beauty is not jealous, everyone is smiling at him, making him want to dance comfortably with 36,000 pores!

He ordered someone to bring a table of food and let Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin eat first.

When Zhang Hongxin and Xu Wen saw the food, they were like starving ghosts reincarnated, and they no longer cared about any etiquette and humility, and heard Emperor Jin say: "Eat!" ”

The two of them immediately grabbed a lot of food on the table and stuffed it into their mouths, for fear that if they took a step slower, the good meat and vegetables in front of them would disappear, and it would become Nanke's dream again!

Although the two have been ashore for a few days, they have been hurrying all the way, not eating well, not sleeping well, worrying and fearing all the time, for fear that the Golden Emperor will not have a good time!

They didn't dare not come, the sea was vast, and they didn't want to stay on the ship for a moment!

About the two of them were half full, Emperor Jin ordered people to remove the food, and the palace people wanted to carry away the table, Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin held on to the table legs and did not let go, so they had to pounce on the dinner table and play tricks!

In the end, it was the Golden Emperor who roared, and the two of them came to their senses, and in the end, another person grabbed a leg of mutton and gnawed it, how embarrassed and embarrassed it was!

"Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin, what have you two experienced? How could it be so messy? What about my sailor? What about the ship? ”

According to the information received by Emperor Jin, Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin landed in the Bohai Sea, except for the big ship on which the two of them were riding, less than one-tenth of the more than 900 ships that followed him to sea came back, and the hull was scarred, and the people on board were like ghosts, I don't know what they have experienced in the past few months?

Speaking of this, Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin cried again: "Your Majesty, capsizing a ship by wind and waves at sea is like breaking a dead branch, it's not too easy!" ”

"The sea is vast, there is water on all sides, there is no way to discern the direction, the two of us can come back alive to see Your Majesty, we are all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, and our ancestors bless!"

That night, Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin watched the Great Song Dynasty's frigate leave, and they corrected their course on the sea according to the guidance of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty's naval division, and successfully arrived in Donghai County the next afternoon.

Yan Chi and Abe Luhua had been waiting at the beach for a long time, and Yan Chi took them to visit the Jingguan piled up near the water gate to show off their catch!

After a hurried walk around Donghai County, confirming that there was no one alive in Donghai County except for Yan Chi and his subordinates, and rejecting Yan Chi's pretense of wanting to share the "kindness" of his gains with the two of them, Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin returned to the ship, determined to pursue the remnants of the East China Sea who had slipped through the net!

Xu Wen high-fived and exclaimed: "The eldest husband should immediately take fame, how can he pick up people's teeth and wisdom?" ”

The two of them thought back to the Great Song frigate they encountered last night, and the more they thought about it, the more wrong it became, and they were sure that the frigate was covering the remnants of the East China Sea!

The two of them immediately found the helmsman in charge of the course of the chart, corrected the course, and chased in the direction where the remnants of the East China Sea might escape!

The huge fleet is like a giant whale, cleaving the waves and moving forward at full speed.

This chase is a day and a night, not to mention the remnants of the East China Sea, I can't even see the shadow of a ship!

The two of them did not give up, relying on the number of boats, and continued to search on the sea, thinking that they would always find some clues when they went around the sea.

During this time, they did encounter several merchant ships, one of which was a pirate ship.

In front of the huge fleet, these ships and the people on board, as small as ants, unsurprisingly became their supplies, and everyone was asked, and they all said that they had never encountered the remnants of the East China Sea in their mouths, nor had they seen the frigates of the Great Song Dynasty.

The crushing pleasure, the victory came too easily, and the wealth came too easily, which immediately overwhelmed Zhang Hongxin's mind, and he encouraged Xu Wen to continue to go to the depths of the sea.

"First, the remnants of the East China Sea were not caught; Second, Your Majesty's purpose of training the army has not been achieved, and Your Majesty will definitely blame the two of us for not doing our best in this way! As for the third, I heard that there are many small countries on the southeast coast, let's explore the way first, and if Your Majesty expands its territory on the sea in the future, we should take the first credit! ”

At first, it was fine, but in June, the sea changed dramatically, with storms, huge waves, and a lack of supplies...... They tossed between the waves and the waves, like duckweed without roots.

The ship capsized, the hull broke, and it got lost in the storm, only to drift with the wind and waves......

When the storm passed, they wanted to return, but no matter how they corrected the course, they were going in circles, and they were going around in big circles on the sea!

"Wu Yang's thief, it was his fake kindness that made people do something in the guide car, and the ministers and the fleet would get lost and almost be wiped out!"

"Zhang Hongxin, are you a pig? You believe everything the Song people say! If something isn't right, why don't you go back immediately? My Armada has been destroyed by you! Do you know how much effort and silver I have spent to build this fleet, huh? In just three months, you have ruined my years of hard work, and you still have the face to come back, the face to eat, and the face to let me forgive you! I forgive you, who will help me bring the fleet back from the sea? ”

"And you, Xu Wen! Zhang Hongxin has always loved to fight for merit, so I ordered you to go to the prison army! What do you eat? Zhang Hongxin's pig is muddy, and you are also muddy! Xu Wen, Xu Wen, what do I want you for?! ”

Zhang and Xu were so frightened that they kowtowed again and again, shouting: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" ”

"How did the Song people move? Why did it take months for you two to find out? ”

Zhang Hongxin gritted his teeth and said: "The Song people are cunning, and the Wu Yang thief took advantage of the effort to help us correct the course and ordered someone to stick a small magnet on the guide car. Your Majesty, that magnet is really small and small, and it only deviates from the course by a slightest, and it is such a slight deviation that almost annihilates our entire fleet! ”

"It's not almost, it's that it's all gone!"

Emperor Jin was very annoyed, he could imagine that Xu Wen and Zhang Hongxin had successfully arrived in Donghai County according to the corrected course of the Song people, which naturally dispelled the doubts in his heart. Who knew that the conspiracy of the Song people was behind, taking advantage of their ignorance and the vastness and wind and waves of the sea, to bury his entire fleet!

"Wu Yang, good, very good! I want to see what kind of character he is, who can destroy my fleet without moving! You, you, dragged out and chopped,! ”

Wu Yang, who was far away in Kunshan, sneezed and said in his heart: Who is reading me?
