"With this group of people, our strength can be improved a lot. Xu Da, you have contributed the most this time."

With a faint smile on Xu Da's face, he glanced at the brothers beside him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, I really don't understand why you recruited these bandits and refugees. Compared with the regular army, these bandits are far behind. It's too big. Do you want to rely on them to achieve great things?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and saw no one around, so he whispered: "You don't understand, we call it a rainy day."

"Prepare for a rainy day?" Several people quickly showed puzzled expressions.

"Although the state of Wei is like a broken dam, it will collapse at any time. But the land of the Central Plains is not something that you and my brothers can easily shake. Let me tell you, this Central Plains will fall into the hands of the State of Qi sooner or later. Now the King of Qi has wiped out all the land outside the pass. Hu, the army must be sharpening their knives, and they will go south to the Central Plains in a few days."

Speaking of Qi, the eyes of these people are full of various emotions.

There are those who admire, those who envy, and those who are jealous.

"I asked you to gather these people just in case. If the Qi army comes to attack, we have two moves. No matter which step we take, we will remain invincible."

"Brother, I don't know which two steps it is?"

"When the Qi army comes to attack, we cooperate with them to seize the city with the help of the rogues. The king of Qi will definitely favor us. We don't know that Han Gong well."

Everyone suddenly realized, and praised Zhu Yuanzhang's good strategy again and again.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had a third plan.

Regardless of the final move, he will jump into the top ranks of Qi State.With the huge resources of the Qi State, he continued to cultivate forces and confuse the situation. After a few years, he took the King of Qi and replaced him.

Of course, this plan can only be hidden in the heart and cannot be spoken.

It was night, and there was a patter of rain in the sky of Xuzhou. The raindrops were small but dense, like a bead curtain.

It is really cool to have such a heavy rain in this hot summer.

Compared with previous years, there is much less rain this year. Da Sinong Zhang said that he ran around to prevent drought.

The arrival of this rain just happens to alleviate the current drought.

Yuzhou Mountain, the station of the East China Sea Fleet.

Since Qi Jiguang led a partial division to attack Yizhou, and Cao Anmin sent all the remaining naval warships to the Yangtze River to defend against Wu, after Cao Anmin conquered Zhuhu in the north, Yuzhou Mountain now looks empty.

The night was lonely, and the sea was filled with thick fog.

A fleet of hundreds of warships quickly crossed the ocean and appeared within the coastal area of ​​Qi.

Although Qi State has developed sea transportation, Yuzhou Mountain is a military port, and merchant ships must not come here.

The Qi State Navy on the Yangtze River has not been mobilized.

If you want to ask where this warship came from, the answer is the Japanese country of Japan across the sea.

Since the three Hans suffered repeated setbacks, the Wa Kingdom has always held resentment, and it was only later that Toyotomi Hideyoshi led an army to the Pingzhou of the Qi Kingdom.

It's a pity that Toyotomi Hideyoshi met Qin Qiong and was beaten and driven back.

Now, after several years of hard work, Queen Himiko finally ordered the three generals under her command to lead the main force to invade Qi.

Under Oda Nobunaga's calculations, the target of the attack was no longer Pingzhou, but Xuzhou, the capital of Qi.

On top of the leading handsome boat stood a middle-aged man of medium build, strong physique, and grand appearance. He was fully armored and wearing a bright red cloak.

The drizzle and mist had already soaked his whole body, but the young man stood motionless at the bow of the ship, holding a sword in his hand, and led the fleet forward bravely, heading straight for the station of the Qi Guo East Sea Fleet.

The middle-aged man in front of him is none other than Oda Nobunaga, the head of the three ministers under Queen Himiko.

This time, Dongpu poured all the power of the whole country, just to hit the heart of Qi country hard once, so that the people of Qi country can also know how powerful they are.For this reason, Himiko asked Oda Nobunaga to be the commander-in-chief, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu as the deputy commanders, leading the army across the sea.

Oda Nobunaga's ambition is lofty, and Himiko thinks that Qi is a big country, which is hard to swallow.But Oda Nobunaga believed that although the Qi State was big, as long as it was hit hard at the heart, it could directly destroy the lifeline of the Qi State.

And the lifeline of Qi State is their king, their successor to the country.

Since a few years ago, Himiko has sent people to continuously collect information on the Qi State, so as to know himself and the enemy, and have a basis for advancing and retreating.

As Cao Anmin continued to conquer the east and west, the land of several states in Hebei was under its control.From the south to the Yangtze River and from the north to beyond the Great Wall, everything was included in his territory of Qi State.The interior can be described as monolithic, with hundreds of thousands of troops, it can be said that it is invincible and invincible.

Now that Cao Anmin led the whole country's army to the northern expedition against Zhuhu, he finally gave Himiko a chance.

If you can take advantage of the main force of Qi State and strike first, you may be able to get great revenge.

Now that the land of Central Plains is raging with flames, for foreigners like them, they have encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.If you can defeat the most powerful state of Qi, you can replace it, gain a foothold, wipe out the princes from all walks of life, and rule the world.

Just when Oda Nobunaga was in high spirits, Toyotomi Hideyoshi came out, saluted slightly: "It's time to dock!"

Chapter 749

In the middle of the night, it is the time when people sleep the most.

The sea was filled with mist, and patrol boats were lazily floating on the sea.

Five hundred feet behind is Yuzhou Mountain, the station of Qi State's East China Sea Fleet.

Since the Northern Expedition of Cao Anmin's army, there has been no battle here for a long time.If counting from the end of the war in the two states of Ninh Binh, they have not had a major war for several years.

If it weren't for Qi Jiguang's prestige of the East China Sea Navy in Huainan, I'm afraid this once famous and huge navy would have been forgotten long ago.

Looking at the development of Qi State's navy, since Cao Anmin formed the navy, foreign wars have always been unfavorable.However, the Qi State Navy completely crushed other countries in terms of equipment, rarely defeated in battles with other countries, and occupied a dominant position for a long time, so that the vigilance of these soldiers has dropped to the lowest point.

In the hearts of these soldiers, the court of Qi State was as powerful as a broken bamboo, sweeping all the princes from all walks of life, invincible.Today, the few who are barely considered threats are Cao Ang's Wei State, Liu Qi's Chu State, and Liu Bei's Han State. As for Hong Xiuquan, Sun Yi, Fang La and others, they are not in Cao Anmin's eyes from the beginning to the end.

Although the army is far away in Youzhou, there are tens of thousands of naval forces on the Yangtze River under strict control, and there are tens of thousands of troops under General Zhang Liao in Pei County.Neither Wu State nor Wei State can threaten the existence of Qi State.

This kind of mentality is not only deeply ingrained in the soldiers, but also in the hearts of many generals guarding Xuzhou.The past few days have been cloudy and rainy, and it is impossible to practice. In addition, the Northern Expedition has basically ended. The generals of the Qi State Navy who guarded Yuzhou Mountain should relax and drink every day to enjoy themselves.

"Hey, listen, there seems to be the sound of boating underwater."

There were fifty soldiers on the patrol boat, and these were some of the patrolling soldiers on the outermost edge of Yuzhou Mountain.

But now, the upper beams are not straight, let alone these lower beams can still act in accordance with military orders.

A captain was rubbing his sleepy eyes, standing on the deck, urinating in the river, when he suddenly heard a sound in his daze.

A patrolman next to him who was dozing off while leaning on a red-tasseled gun was woken up by the commander who was on good terms with him, and he gasped impatiently and said, "It's so noisy, you've had enough sleep by yourself, you can't even let the brothers sleep. , the weather is cloudy and rainy, where is the sound coming from, could it be that you are stupid..."

There was a "bang"...

A huge warship quickly broke through the thick fog and slammed into it fiercely. With just one click, the patrol boat almost capsized.

Even though the boat didn't capsize, dozens of soldiers on board fell into the water under the violent impact, shouting in an instant.Those who are awake can still call for help on the river, but those who are not awake after being drunk may not be so lucky.

Before he could react in time, he was choked on water and couldn't breathe, so he became a water ghost in a daze.
