General Essence Sticky Essence

Lieutenant General Rizhao was also unambiguous, and immediately said: "Behead the hostages on the spot!"

He Yun exchanged glances with Wei Wei who was not far away, and put his hand on the handle of the knife beside him.

Vice-General Yang's voice was stern: "Is your country really so merciless!"

At this time, behind Lieutenant General Rizhao, Shoucheng opened the curtain and came out, saying: "That's not the case, your country loves soldiers, we understand very well. Send a ship and send it back to you."

The lieutenant general wanted to say something, but Shoucheng said: "Even if we meet in battle, we still have to leave room."

The lieutenant general had no choice but to nod, and ordered a team of soldiers to be sent to the other side as a pledge.

He Yun followed at the end of the line and boarded the boat with Wei Wei.Before tonight, neither Wei Wei nor He Yun thought that the rescue of the hostages would be so smooth. At first glance, everyone was happy, but after thinking about it, this may not be a good thing.

The ship sailed to Tongwu Port, another deputy general of the Red Armored Army, Bai Li, was already waiting here.The team sent several people off the ship as pledges. Lieutenant Bai untied the shackles of the hostages, and said angrily, "Go back as soon as possible!"

Wei Wei pretended to be unconvinced, and muttered: "What is so fierce, it's not our captive."

Lieutenant General Bai said angrily, "Say it again!"

The rest of the soldiers buried their heads so low they couldn't lower their heads, wondering if this uncle was crazy, to dare to be so arrogant in the enemy's camp.

Only He Yun hurried out, stood beside Wei Wei and said to Bai Li: "Deputy General, please calm down! We are all insignificant miscellaneous soldiers, don't care about us like us."

Wei Wei said: "What the hell! I don't believe he can do anything to us!"

He Yun hurriedly moved closer to his ear and whispered a few words, which seemed to be persuading him.

Lieutenant General Bai didn't allow it, and directly pulled Wei Wei over, saying fiercely: "I'll detain this man! I don't believe that I can't detain a soldier who speaks badly! You," he pointed to He Yun, "help him Talk, right? Don’t even think about going back!”

When He Yun heard this, he seemed to be terrified, bowed and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare anymore!" After speaking, he quickly ran back to his place, and said to the people around him: "Hurry up! Hurry up and go!"

Where did the rest of the soldiers dare to stay for a moment, they turned around and rushed to the boat.

There was a hint of surprise in Lieutenant General Bai's eyes, Wei Wei patted him and signaled him that it would be fine.

What He Yun just said in Wei Wei's ear was: "I'll investigate the matter of arms, the two armies are at war, the commander-in-chief doesn't need to be distracted."

The war is on the verge of breaking out, and the boats here have not even returned, and the sea has already ignited the flames of war.Rizhao's main ship speeded up and withdrew from the center position from the siege of heavy armor, and the rest of the armor immediately filled the vacancy. It can be seen that Rizhao's navy is well-trained.

Countless feathered arrows rushed to the sky, and then fell at an extremely fast speed, straight to all the warships lined up on the sea.

Rizhao's army had already prepared iron shields, and the feather arrows hit the iron shields and warships, making crackling sounds, which could be heard endlessly.Their defense lasted only half a stick of incense, and the boat and the sea were already covered with arrows.

The lieutenant general raised his hand from a distance on the main ship, and the archers on each ship immediately fired at the same time, using the arrows that fell at their feet, to shoot back to the Red Armored Army.

Deputy General Yang saw that the arrows that came back were all marked with the red dragon symbol of the Red Armored Army. He was very surprised, and said straightly: "It's true that you can see everything after living for a long time. It's shameless to use other people's weapons!"

Wei Wei had already changed his armor, and just walked up to Deputy General Yang: "Sunshine is small, and resources are scarce. Usually, even a piece of iron sheet is spared, so I don't care about my life."

Vice General Yang said: "The general is still in the enemy camp, what if he is injured by mistake?"

Wei Wei took a deep look at the sea below, and said, "General He can protect himself well, so you don't have to bind your hands and feet."

He Yun grew up in the city. He has never been to the seaside or swam wild. To put it bluntly, he is just a landlubber.

Previously, whether it was a small boat or a warship, they were moving smoothly and steadily, even if there were a little wave, they were all within the acceptable range.

But as soon as the two sides fought, the man driving the boat seemed to be crazy, rushing towards the warship desperately, twisting and turning at an extremely fast speed.

He Yun staggered, his stomach was overwhelmed, he couldn't even speak, and was thrown into the boat.The soldiers around were all vigilantly staring at the feathered arrows shooting randomly on the sea, and no one had the energy to take care of him.

He Yun was bumped up and down in the swaying bucket, he thought this is not good, if he continues like this, he will die before he can finish his mission.

He hurriedly got up, covered his mouth with one hand to resist the urge to spit it out, and grabbed the hull of the boat with the other hand.

The oil lamps on the boat had long been drowned out by the splashing water, but now with the light from the main ship and dozens of auxiliary ships, it wasn't really dark.He Yun stared at the nearest auxiliary ship, calculating the arrival time in his mind.

At this moment, a burst of fire suddenly flashed around He Yun, followed by heart-piercing shouts.Looking back, a soldier squatting beside him just now was on fire all over his body. He hissed a few times and fell into the sea with a bang.

He Yun raised his head and saw that the sky was covered with flaming feather arrows, and the Red Armored Army began to attack with fire.

Seeing that there was only a few feet away from the auxiliary ship in front of him, the man driving the boat shouted: "It's too late! Jump!" Then he plunged into the water without a trace of hesitation, and when he saw him again, he He had already appeared next to the auxiliary ship, and several soldiers above were pulling him up with long ropes.

Seeing this situation, the rest of the people jumped into the water one after another and began to swim to the side of the warship.In this case, to stay in the small wooden boat is to wait for death.

This happened suddenly, and He Yun was the only one left in the boat. He stretched his neck to look in the direction of the main ship, and suddenly felt that an opportunity had come.

He Yun staggered towards the bow of the boat, picking up the oars with both hands.Two rockets shot over, just stuck on the board of the ship, the arrows had fuel, and they were about to burn.He quickly bent down and threw the two arrows away, only then did he have time to breathe out.

I can't swim, but I can still draw a boat like a gourd.He Yun picked up the oars, and with the greatest strength in his life, started to head for the main ship.

In the vast sea, without any reference, He Yun couldn't even be sure if he saw the main ship retreating.

Wei Wei was studying the marching map in the southeast sea area when Vice-General Bai hurried in and said, "Commander, Rizhao's army has begun to retreat."

Wei Wei's fingers were still on the beach beside the defense line: "Retreat?"

Lieutenant General Bai said, "Yes."

Wei Wei turned around with a look of surprise on his face: "There's something wrong with them! They're not in a hurry to land and they're backing away? What kind of battle is this?"

Vice-General Bai was also at a loss: "The last general and Vice-General Yang feel strange, how do you think the commander-in-chief decides?"

The military report of the war between Chijia in the southeast and the Rizhao Kingdom arrived in Jinyang the next day, and the post envoys came in a hurry. The emperor temporarily notified the civil and military officials to hold a court meeting.

Wei Guo and Rizhao have faced each other across the sea for decades, and they have lived peacefully for too long. For the courtiers, this war is almost a storm on the ground, and they are caught off guard.All the officials gathered behind the main hall, and a strange face walked in from outside the hall.

The man was wearing a bright red court dress, striding forward, looking radiant, others didn't know who he was, but as soon as Xie Xuan saw him, he thought about it.

Sure enough, Master Zhang Fu preemptively said: "Your Majesty, not long after the disaster in the southwest and northwest ended, more than half of the Wujia army in the city was lost. When General He was in the court, the recruitment of new soldiers had not yet finished, and now there is another vacancy for the position of lieutenant general of the light armor army." The minister believes that the drill of the Wujia army is a major event in the city today, and if there is a need for the southeast war, it is best to send Wujia to help as soon as possible."

The emperor said: "This statement is justified."

Gong Yiyu continued: "This is a student of the minister's mansion, named Tao Jiang, who has a lot of insight into the use of soldiers. I want to recommend him as the deputy general of the light armor army."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court were fixed on Tao Jiang who was standing in the center of the hall.Prime Minister Su took a step forward: "I have objections."

The emperor said: "Please tell me, Mr. Su."

"In ancient times, Zhao Kuo, the son of a famous general, learned the art of war and talked about military affairs since he was a child. He talked about war on paper and was defeated by Qin. Although he was a civil servant who didn't understand military affairs, he also knew that the position of lieutenant general is not a child's play. Tao Your Majesty has deep gaps in his chest, I certainly admire you, but if you are crowned with the post of general as Master Zhang said, I hope His Majesty will think twice."

Su Xiang has always been outspoken and dares to advise, and Gongyi Yu did not fight a battle he was not prepared for.

"What Prime Minister Su said is reasonable, why is this minister not worried about it? It's just that the current battle situation is tight, and the time for the Wujia Army's drill is imminent. If you have to think about the past and the future, it will naturally be disadvantageous. Tao Jiangfu is talented and can be trusted. Cai, the minister is going to be his guarantor in the court today, if he is not up to the task, then he and his ministers will deal with it together."

This is very difficult to say, Master Zhang Yu personally guarantors for the position of the little lieutenant general, so why should he forcefully obstruct it.What's more, what Gongyi Yu said is true, it is indeed difficult to fill the position of Lieutenant General of the Light Armor right now, and the matter of manning troops is urgent, and it would be a waste of time to worry too much.

Su Xiang also thought about it for a while, and said: "Since the edict is like this, it would seem pedantic for me to obstruct it."

The emperor said: "Your family is all for the government, so why are you talking pedantically? If you have no objection, then this matter will be tentative."

"Your Majesty," a sixth-rank military officer came out and asked, "After all, the Wujia Army is under the command of General He. Without the general's seal, how can he be appointed?"

The emperor said: "It's okay, just take the place temporarily, and it won't be too late to be appointed after He Qing returns to the court."

In this way, the matter was settled, Tao Jiang left the hall without saying a word, and went to the army camp first.

At this time, the post envoy began to report the military situation.

"Your Majesty, the Rizhao warships stayed at the junction of the sea lines for several days. A main ship led more than forty auxiliary ships to dock at noon yesterday. Vice Admiral Yang ordered the enemy lieutenant general to release them. The hostages have been released. Commander-in-Chief General He He took the opportunity to return to the camp safely, but the enemy was unaware of this. Our army and Rizhao each sent archers to fight each other. The two sides were evenly matched and fell into a stalemate, so the commander-in-chief ordered a fire attack. Who would have thought that the fire attack has not yet After a while, the enemy ships retreated one after another."

The emperor was surprised: "If the Rizhao provoked the war, why did they retreat?"

The post envoy replied: "Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief is also very puzzled about this, and is currently standing still, waiting for the enemy's actions."

The emperor said: "The battle of the red armor is all at the disposal of the commander. You go back and do your best for the Tao, and I beg the commander to continue to worry about it."

"It should be so, Your Majesty rest assured."

The emperor asked again: "Did He Qing mention when he will return to Beijing?"

The post envoy said: "The commander-in-chief ordered the minister to tell His Majesty that Rizhao's army is strong, and this time it will be a tough battle. Therefore, I would like to ask General He to stay in the Chijia Camp to assist for the time being. I hope Your Majesty will approve."

The emperor said: "Zuzao. There is nothing wrong with the left and right courts. He Qing is in the southeast, so I can rest assured."

The post envoy thanked him: "Your Majesty, I have prepared a memorial for the detailed situation, and it will be sent to the imperial study later. There is nothing else to do."

Xie Xuan turned his head to look at the post envoy, but did not make a sound.

Since there is nothing else to do, the court meeting is over.Xie Xuan thought over and over again, but secretly stopped the post envoy who was about to return to the southeast.The post emissary said with a smile: "Your Highness has doubts about what Fang Cai played at the meeting?"

Xie Xuan said: "It's not a doubt, I just want to know, General He is now..."

"Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief has ordered his servants to tell you the truth if you ask, but it needs to be kept secret."

Xie Xuan showed a puzzled expression: "What?"

"At this time, General He is alone on the enemy ship and is investigating the arms trade between Rizhao and Dawei. He is not in the Chijia camp."

Xie Xuan immediately realized that Wei Wei went to the enemy camp alone for this reason.But at the moment, he is of course not more concerned about the arms business: "You mean, the southeast sea area is raging at this time, and General He is alone in the enemy camp?"

The post envoy was a little surprised by Xie Xuan's reaction, and explained: "This matter was discussed and decided by the general and the commander in chief. The two lords must have thought it over carefully. Please rest assured, my lord. Furthermore, the secret document handed to your majesty also stated For the details, only you and His Majesty will know for the time being. If the prince is fine, I will return to the camp immediately to return to my command."

Xie Xuan said: "Nothing special, but please be sure to tell Commander Wei, General He can't drink water, please take care of Commander Wei."

The post envoy was obviously shocked when he heard this, General He can't drink?Well... this is a water battle!
