Chapter 558: The Cell

There are nearly a thousand cells in the prison, but this one is not so cold because there are two braziers.

A man in a cotton coat sat on a stone bed with a quilt underneath, and it seemed that he was being treated well.

The clothes were neat, there were no blood marks on them, and it looked like he had not been tortured. The moonlight shines through a small window in the wall and falls in front of him, which is his only connection to the outside world.

The sound of orderly footsteps in the long, dimly lit passage gradually became clear, and then a jailer carrying a food box appeared.

The jailer put down the food box, took out the key, and opened the iron lock, "General Shunchen, I'm bringing you supper." ”

Yi Sunsin stood up and smiled at him very politely, "I'm sorry for you." ”

The jailer smiled honestly: "Don't say that, if you hadn't driven out the Japanese invaders, how could we have lived a happy life." It's the right thing to do for you. "Pick up the food box, go into the cell, and take out the side dishes and a pot of wine.

Although Yi Sunsin was imprisoned by the monarch, he once made great achievements in war and expelled the Japanese invaders. The North Korean people are very grateful to him, and even in prison, the jailers treat him with courtesy.

The two braziers in the cell and the nightly supper are enough to show how much he means in the hearts of the people.

The jailer cleaned up the cell again, and as he left, he said, "General Shunchen, I believe that one day you will be able to get out of here." ”

Yi Sunsin did not answer, sent him out, and then sat down at the table, looking at every dish on the table. The familiar taste, even the wine was freshly blanched, but he didn't have the slightest appetite.

He was very worried about the war on the front line, and he knew Yuan Jun's personality better than anyone else. It's too hard to defeat the Wakos.

Remove the plate in the middle of the table, raise your arm, and pour a few pieces of tortoise shell from your sleeve.

The full moon moved eastward, the moonlight fell on the table, and the ancient tortoise shell had incomprehensible small characters on it.

Yi Sunsin closed his eyes, recited a few words very reverently, and then picked up the tortoise shell with both hands, padded it up and down three times, and sprinkled it on the table.

Looking down, I felt a shock.

The wind and water are evil, and the thunder and lightning are striking!

......

In the early morning, Li Yiqi and Pei Wedge led two teams of people to keep watch along the coast all night, and did not find any movement of the Japanese invaders. At dawn they prepared to return to Yuanjun and urged him to continue the march so as not to give the Japanese a chance to escape.

But he found that Yuan Jun drank too much yesterday and didn't wake up yet. As the commander of the first army, when the two armies were fighting, he was able to drink too much, and I was afraid that there was no one else except Yuan Jun.

In addition, yesterday's carnival did not end until the second half of the night, and the soldiers were still sleeping, where could they drive a boat to pursue?

Pei Wedge was so angry that he almost wanted to kill someone, Li Yiqi was silent, and the two of them stood on the shore in a disappointed mood, so they could only wait for Yuan Jun to wake up.

At about noon, someone came to report that when he brought washing water to Yuan Jun, he saw that there was a thinly dressed dancer in his cabin, and he thought that he must have had a good time last night.

Pei Yu said angrily: "Where does Yuan Jun look like a war, it is clear that he is out to have fun." Even if he drank too much at the celebration banquet, he still had to have fun with the dancing girl, what did he want to do!"

Li Yiqi clenched his fists, eager to rush into the cabin to beat Yuan Jun now, turned his head to look at the warship, and finally sighed.

"We can't just wait here for him to wake up, can we?" Pei asked wedge

Li Yiqi said: "I think the same as you, but can I do that? After all, he is the commander of the First Army, and we will be punished by military law for any reason." ”

"Hey, is the monarch blind, just looking for him to lead the navy, if I can win, I will cut off my head and use it as a urinal!" Pei Wedge said

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of people talking too much. Although there were only the two of them here, Li Yiqi still reminded.

......

At noon, Yuan Jun was still lying on the bed, and at this time, the other generals couldn't stand it anymore, so they gathered outside the cabin and shouted inside, "The general is up!"

It's a very funny scene, but it's incredibly real. The actions of so many generals seem to be a joke, but they are also helpless.

Yuan Jun was woken up, and Yuan Shizun told him that if he didn't send troops now, he was afraid that he would be angry.

Yuan Jun also knows that it's okay to offend one person, but it's not okay to offend everyone. He got up and dressed at the moment, and in the afternoon ordered the army to march all the way east.

After two hours of sailing, the news came from the front that the Japanese ship had been spotted not far away.

"Do you know whose fleet it is?" asked Wonjun

"General Huiyu, it's Shimazu and Takahashi's fleet. ”

Since there were only a small number of enemy troops, Yuan Jun ordered the attack. But as soon as the two sides exchanged fire, the Japanese invaders went down the river. Yuan Junben had no intention of fighting, and now he still has a headache because of drunkenness. If the generals hadn't forced him to send troops, he would still be resting in bed now.

Since they all repelled the enemy army, Yuan Jun said that the poor Kou Mo chased and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Li Yiqi suggested continuing the pursuit, although this was a small group of enemy troops, but if they were let go, the enemy army would definitely go back to report the news, and the Japanese had a heart of prevention, and it would be difficult to attack again.

How could Yuan Jun listen to him, the fleet turned around and returned to Xianshan Island. This stay turned out to be more than half a month.

During this period, many generals proposed to send troops, but Yuan Jun only cared about pleasure, drunk and dreamed of death every day, accompanied by dancing girls, and had no intention of expelling the Japanese at all.

In the end, the generals really had no choice, so they jointly wrote a letter to the commander-in-chief of the rear, Quan Li, to expose what Yuan Jun had done.

An urgent letter arrived later on this day, in which Kwon Li warned Yuan Jun that if he did not send troops within three days, he would be sent to the monarch and removed from his official position.

Yuan Jun didn't expect things to turn out like this, and after thinking about it carefully, it must have been Li Yiqi who asked the other generals to write to Quan Li together. Summoned all the generals overnight, scolded, and then began to throw things.

But in the end, Yuan Jun had no other way, and still ordered to send troops in two days.

In the past half a month, he has set up camp on Xianshan Island, and Yuan Jun, as the commander-in-chief, has not paid attention to military affairs at all. The soldiers have slacked off, and when they sent out the troops, they had long lost their spirits, where was there still a little bit of war?

Li Yiqi and Pei Wedge saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, and there was nothing else they could do except to cheer themselves up.

After three days of sailing on the sea, there was still no trace of the Japanese Kou, Li Yiqi felt very strange, and after discussing with Pei Wedge, he was ready to report to Yuan Jun together.

Who knew that at this time, Yuan Jun suddenly ordered to rest on the nearby Jueying Island, and Li Yiqi and Pei Wedge were still a step late.

The army got off the boat, began to cook on the fire, and lay lazily on the snow, not caring about the cold, and snoring when they closed their eyes.

Li Yiqi still sent people along the coast to monitor the movements of the enemy army, but the fog rose on the sea, and the white fog became bigger and bigger, blocking the sight of the spies.
