Chapter 452: The Good Opportunity Has Arrived

Liu Ye didn't take away these gifts for Chen Kan in the end.

In his words, it is the gift that is given, where there is a reason to take it back.

Chen Kan thought about it, and this is indeed the reason.

So he reluctantly left the gold and silver, and let him take only the women.

Then, the women felt insulted and tried to kill themselves.

There was no way, Chen Kan could only leave the woman behind.

But how to deal with these women, Chen Kan really has a headache.

He belongs to the kind of person who has a colored heart and no lust, not to mention that these women are very different from the beautiful wives in the family.

He is not a person who eats too much meat and wants to eat some porridge and side dishes.

So I'm sorry for Chang Ning's matter, he will never do it.

Chen Kan struggled for a long time, planning to place these women on the island first, and wait for Zheng He to come over and hand them over to him for unified handling.

Whether he wants to bring back Daming and dedicate it to Zhu Di, or keep it as a maid, Chen Kan doesn't care.

When Chen Kan finished processing the gold and silver, it was already time to eat.

Zhang Dong brought food to Chen Kan.

Chen Kan was only halfway through eating, and the other two guards broke into Chen Kan's house regardless of their manners.

As soon as he entered the door, he began to shout: "Dashuai, good news, good news!" ”

Chen Kan glared at the two of them dissatisfied, and slowly stuffed a piece of grilled fish with golden brown roast into his mouth, and then scolded: "What kind of body is it that is panicked." ”

Hearing this, the two guards hurriedly straightened up.

After Chen Kan finished eating the grilled fish, he wiped his mouth elegantly, and asked lightly: "What good news, let's say it!" ”

The two guards said excitedly: "Dashuai, Song Jieshuai has sent news that the country of Sumatra is empty, and he has successfully led his troops to break through Bolimbang, and at this time, the Sumatran king Abi Zhen is urgently returning to the division, and the strait is empty." ”

Hearing this, Chen Kan just nodded, and there was still a breezy expression on his face.

Song Qingneng led his troops to break through Bolimbang, which was something he expected, and there was nothing to be excited about.

However, it was only ten days, five days ahead of the half-month time limit that Chen Kan had given Song Qing to break through Bolimbang.

It's barely a bonus.

This shows that Chen Kan still underestimated Song Qing's military talent.

He does have the same potential as Fang Xu to grow into a famous general.

Of course, whether they can grow up in the end depends on how much stage Chen Kan can provide them.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan motioned for Zhang Dong to clean up the mess on the table.

Then he lightly ordered: "General Benhou, the whole army will be renovated for three days, and after three days, the whole army will go to the strait." ”

"Order!"

The two guards took the order and left, Chen Kan leaned back on the chair and pondered for a moment, and said to the guards guarding the door: "Take the chart here!" ”

The sea chart, Chen Kan has seen it countless times.

But three days later, he was about to set off to attack the capital of Manchuria, and Chen Kan decided to see what was wrong.

Lying on the desk, Chen Kan once again concentrated on his research.

But after studying for a long time, Chen Kan could only come to one result, and that was to win.

Now that Sumatra has withdrawn its troops from the strait, the forces of the two countries blockading the strait have been reduced by more than half in an instant.

With the broken ships of Manraka, Chen Kan couldn't think of any possibility of losing.

The only mistake was whether Zheng He had learned of the arrival of reinforcements and cooperated accordingly at the right time.

However, Chen Kan had sent several waves of envoys to Siam Chenla to find Zheng He's fleet from the Bengal Sea to the ocean.

Thinking about it, Zheng He should have known the news of the arrival of Chen Kan's reinforcements at this moment.

After all, Zheng He's fleet is not easy to find in the ocean, but if it is specific to the strait, then a large-scale fleet is still easy to find.

Don't look at Zheng He as if he was forced to retreat to the ocean by Manraka and Sumatra, but Chen Kan knew that the allied forces of the two countries would definitely not dare to pursue Zheng He.

In the strait, they can rely on crowd tactics to hold Zheng He back.

As long as they chase into the sea, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to pose any threat to Zheng He with the warships of the two countries, which are not as good as the Daming fishing boats.

It was Chen Kan who was sure that Zheng He's fleet would not be too far from the strait.

What's more, they also know the address on Zheng He's letter for help.

Even if Zheng He changed his place to station, it would not be very far from the original station.

Because it's not necessary.

At sea, those wild monkey-like coalition forces of the two countries can only deliver food to Zheng He.

So this is not a big mistake, even if Zheng He doesn't come, Guan Guang is a country that is fighting against Manchuria, Chen Kan is still very sure.

So after studying for a while, Chen Kan began to be stunned.

There's no way, I really don't know how to lose.

It's so distressing.

Just when Chen Kan was worried about how to lose, on the island where Zheng He was stationed, a long laugh broke the tranquility of the island.

Most of the time, the atmosphere on the island where Zheng He was stationed was comparative.

Few people laugh so heartily.

The main reason is that Zheng He is not allowed to make loud noises, he is afraid of triggering camp roars.

They are all a group of mentally tense people, and once the camp is bombed, it is very likely to cause incalculable consequences.

And today, Wang En broke that rule.

He laughed and shouted: "Hahahaha, handsome, handsome, good news, good news......"

Ever since they learned of the arrival of reinforcements, the soldiers who had been busy repairing warships or weapons heard Wang En's laughter and stopped what they were doing.

Looking at Wang En, who was laughing and running towards the handsome tent, he showed curiosity.

I guessed in my heart, what could make Wang Jieshuai so happy, wouldn't it be reinforcements to the strait?

It wasn't until Wang En ran into Zheng He's handsome tent that he withdrew his gaze.

But after a moment, they turned their curious gaze to the tent on the top of the hill.

Just because there was a heartier laugh from the tent.

This time, the voice of laughter was Zheng He!

In the handsome tent, Zheng He rarely made a little gaffe, looked at Wang En with a look of surprise and asked, "Xuan Zhen, is this true?" ”

Wang En grinned and laughed: "Great marshal, it is true, the scouts under the command of the last general saw the Sumatra army withdraw from the strait in a panic. ”

"Good, good, good!"

After confirming the authenticity of the news, Zheng He was so excited that he said three good things in a row.

Of course, he knows what it means to withdraw troops from Sumatra, which means that Chen Kan on the other side of the strait has made a move!

The place where Zheng He's fleet was stationed was actually not far from the strait port.

Fishing boats from both countries can even sometimes be seen in the waters where the fleets are stationed.

Therefore, it was inevitable that he would learn that the news of Sumatra's withdrawal of troops was faster than Chen Kan.

So after the excitement, Zheng He quickly calmed down.

"At this time, when did Sumatra start withdrawing its troops, and how long has it been since now?" ”

Wang En was stunned for a moment, and then moved his fingers and began to calculate: "We are about two hours away from the entrance of the strait, and when the scouts determine that the Sumatran army is retreating, the Sumatran withdrawal must come to an end, after all, tens of thousands of troops are not so easy to withdraw, let the last general calculate, calculate it......

Wang En folded his fingers and counted for a long time, and then spit out a number from his mouth with an authoritative face: "Three days!" ”

"Three days?"

"Yes, the marshal should know that the Sumatran army deployed in the strait exceeds 80,000 people, and it is impossible for so many people to withdraw at once, if according to the news reported by the scouts, the Sumatran army withdrew with a panicked look on their faces, then three days must be the limit of their withdrawal."

"Did you start withdrawing troops three days ago?"

When Zheng He heard the numbers, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.

After a moment, the corners of Zheng He's mouth curled.

There is only one possibility that Sumatra withdrew in such a hurry that the capital city of Bohringbang had already been captured by Chen Kan's men.

Even if there is no tribute, it will inevitably fall into a life-and-death situation.

If it is calculated according to time, Sumatra began to withdraw its troops three days ago, then Chen Kan should have known about the withdrawal of Sumatra troops at this time.

After all, the distance from Bolimbang to the two ends of the channel is about the same, and the speed of message transmission must not differ much.

In other words, the time has come for him to get back on the field.

Zheng He thought for a while, and instructed Wang En: "Xuan Zhen, pass the order, the whole army will rest for ten days, and after ten days, launch an attack on the strait?" ”

When Wang En heard this, he subconsciously wanted to nod his head.

But after a while, he suddenly asked in disbelief: "Ten days later, are you sure it's not today?" ”

Zheng He shook his head and confirmed again: "That's right, ten days, let the soldiers have a good rest in these ten days, and attack the strait in ten days." ”

Hearing the exact answer, Wang En suddenly showed a constipated expression.

He said dissatisfiedly: "Marshal, since Sumatra has withdrawn its troops, why should we wait for ten days, shouldn't we immediately order the army to launch an attack on the strait?" ”

Wang En is really incomprehensible.

Sumatra has withdrawn, and only the garbage army of Manraka is left in the strait.

Isn't this a heaven-sent opportunity to escape from ascension?

Not to mention that there is also Jinghaihou's fleet on the other side of the strait.

If we don't launch an offensive now, won't we delay the fighters?

Zheng He smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, now is not the best time to launch an attack, go and give the order." ”

Wang En frowned, and wanted to refute.

But Zheng He suddenly straightened his face and said solemnly: "Go and give the order!" ”

Wang En glanced at Zheng He with an incomprehensible gaze, and finally reluctantly withdrew from the door.

He knew Zheng He, and when he saw Zheng He's serious expression, he knew that Zheng He's order was non-negotiable.

Although he did not understand, he had not yet thought of disobeying military orders.

It's just that he's really hard to understand!

Seeing Wang En walk away, Zheng He's face calmed down.

The reason why he decided to attack the strait after ten days was to reserve enough time for Chen Kan.

After all, it will take time for Chen Kan's fleet to sail over.

As for Wang En, when the envoy sent by Chen Kan told him about Chen Kan's intentions, Wang En was not present.

He didn't know Chen Kan's plans, so it was normal to have such an attitude.

Zheng He didn't plan to tell Wang En the truth, nor did he plan to tell the soldiers the truth.

The soldiers have been suppressed for too long.

A hearty win is desperately needed to boost morale, and if you tell them in advance, you won't be surprised.

Or continue to hide it from them, and let the surprise of the big victory wash away your depression in their hearts when the time comes.

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Zheng He commanded outside the door: "Come on, take the chart." ”

Zheng He also needed to study the charts, and his condition was different from Chen Kanke's.

Chen Kan's ship had high morale, sufficient ammunition and equipment.

But his fleet is hard to describe right now, so he has to be precise when it comes to timing.

It's too early, if the ammunition of the fleet is empty, Chen Kan hasn't come yet, he is not sure to break through the blockade of nearly 100,000 troops with the fleet.

And if it's late, Chen Kan finishes fighting, he doesn't think Chen Kan will share him with some soup to drink.

Moreover, military merit is not something that Chen Kan is willing to share with him, it depends on whether the soldiers under his command Chen Kan are willing or not.

But after studying for a long time, he came to a conclusion that was no different from what he had just had.

Ten days, which was a relatively safe deadline for him after he had walked through the strait once.

After thinking about it, Zheng He put away the chart and shouted outside the door: "Go and invite Pei Gou'er, Wang Du and the two strong men to come!" ”

"Yes."

The voice of the guard came in, Zheng He rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and began to look at the chart in a daze.

Soon, Pei Gou'er and Wang Du entered the room under the leadership of Zheng He's personal guards.

Zheng He retreated from his guards and motioned to the two: "Sit!" ”

The two glanced at each other, sitting opposite Zheng He, Wang Du took the lead in asking, "I don't know if the big marshal called our two brothers over so late, what are your orders?" ”

Zheng He didn't sell the guanzi, and said bluntly: "Sumatra has withdrawn its troops, I think it is the army under the command of Hou Ye who has already made a move against Bo Linbang, and this marshal summoned the two to come to ask the two of them again about the specific details of Hou Ye's plan." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Gou'er and Pei Du glanced at each other again, and Xie saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
