Zhou Hao read the book very quickly and finished reading all the files in one night.
Not sleeping all night had no effect on him.
Cen Fu, who woke up, came over to guard him again.
At this time, Yu Dayong walked in and said in surprise: "Uncle Zhongyong hasn't slept all night?"
Zhou Hao stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I want to see what went wrong and why I couldn't conquer Cengang for a long time. If I could find a way, maybe I could destroy the Japanese pirates earlier."
Yu Dayong smiled and said, "Then you keep watching. If you, the Jinyiwei, can find a way to capture Cengang, I will be your general!"
There was a disdainful tone in his words, and Zhou Hao was not angry and was about to say something.
"Report! General, the imperial edict has arrived!" The soldier rushed in and informed him.
It’s okay if I didn’t hear it, but Zhou Hao happened to be here, so I have to go out to receive the order together.
He knelt all over the ground in the camp.
"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: Ignore the battle of Dayong and will be detained within one month. Cengang will be taken. If the expiration date is not taken, all the positions will be removed from the general below the general! I respect this!"
Yu Dayong: "My minister, accept the order!"
He held the imperial edict in his hand and felt mixed feelings. He could not conquer the enemy, so he really had nothing to say.
But he said he was familiar with the Japanese, but he didn't recognize him!
I saw Yu Dayong silent for a long time.
Zhou Hao walked over and said, "It seems that the emperor is impatient with Cengang's capture. Now the general should understand why Lord Wu did not object to my visit to the military camp to thoroughly investigate the Japanese. He had known that the coastal affairs had been delayed for too long. There were many criticisms in the court. The emperor was already helpless. I came here to prove that the coastal towns could not be captured because of an affair with Japanese pirates."
Yu Dayong said helplessly: "I, a general, don't let me fight, let me check people's privacy every day like the Jinyiwei!"
Zhou Hao laughed and said, "If I hadn't been the Jinyiwei, who checked people's privacy, and the general's character was not good at socializing, he would be the candidate for taking the blame for the unfavorable anti-Japanese war."
Yu Dayong looked at Zhou Hao and said, "You said Lord Wu asked me to take the blame? I don't believe it. Don't provoke the discord!"
Zhou Hao: "Believe it or not, if you choose between himself and General Yu, he will definitely protect himself first. I want to go to the armament warehouse to check it out, so please agree with General Yu!"
Yu Dayong: "Okay! Let Xiangzi accompany you, I'm going to go up to discuss matters!"
The imperial edict gave him a one-month deadline, and he had to find a way to make a last try.
-------------------------------------
Xiangzi is the soldier who is only fourteen years old.
The Armies Curry is mostly firearms, but Zhou Hao is not interested in these old antiques at all.
From Xiangzi, he learned that Yu Dayong had already attacked Cengang five or six times, and each time ended in failure.
When the boat enters the waterway, it will be attacked from three sides and cannot be transferred to the dock.
Even the most powerful artillery cannot reach the Japanese ships hiding in the port, even if they have limited lethality.
It is even more exaggerated from land. None of the ten Ming troops can defeat a single Japanese pirate.
The channel is narrow, and even if you want to use the human-sea tactics, you can't do it.
Seeing this, Zhou Hao had already thought of a way, which was to upgrade the power of these artillery.
This was easy for him.
At most three days, he can make red cannons that can be fired on the ship.
At that time, just like the French used cannons to flatten the British castle, they would directly flatten Cengang.
Of course, there is also an easier way, which is that he sneaks into the Japanese pirates' nest alone, catch Mao Haifeng and everything is over.
For Zhou Hao, the second one is simpler.
He has fought with Japanese pirates many times, and the number of Japanese pirates on the island is as high as more than a thousand, and it is the same for him to go together.
The power of the musket does not pose much threat to him. As long as the true energy is condensed into a shield, it can be blocked.
Of course, with his current realm, he could not stand there and let the musket attack casually.
After all, true energy will be consumed.
.........
At night, Zhou Hao was a little anxious without any news.
He was about to go back and take a look directly along Luffy.
Cen Fu brought Shangguan Xi and Xie Xiao in.
They had already contacted Yu Dayong and were arranged in the tent on the other side. Yu Dayong was still very welcome to these patriots from the people who came to fight against the Japanese.
As soon as Xie Xiao came in, he held his face, as if Zhou Hao owed him money.
I really don’t know what he thought. You hate me so much, so you don’t come!
Zhou Hao was speechless to Xie Xiao.
He didn't see Yuan Jinxia, ​​so he asked: "Master Shangguan Hall, why didn't Jinxia come?"
Shangguan Xi took out a letter and handed it over and said with a smile: "This is what Jin Xia asked me to you. We encountered Japanese pirates on the way. Although we defeated them, Senior Yang was seriously injured, so Jin Xia and Yang Yue sent him back to Hangzhou. I'm afraid they won't be here for the time being!"
Zhou Hao was stunned and said, "What happened like this? Alas! I would have been with you if I had known this, wouldn't I have been with you? Is this summer okay?"
He took the letter and did not open it on the spot, but put it in his arms.
Shangguan Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "She is fine, Lord Lu, don't worry!"
Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. If you don't come, don't come. It's too dangerous on the battlefield."
This was not the early era of cold weapons. There were muskets, and Zhou Hao could not guarantee Yuan Jinxia's safety at all times.
Xie Xiao suddenly said angrily: "Do you know that Jin Xia is also injured? She still doesn't let her senior sister tell you that she is afraid that you will worry! Didn't you say that you can take good care of her?!"
Zhou Hao's face changed and he looked at Shangguan Xi.
Shangguan Xi said with a embarrassed look: "It's something Jin Xia didn't allow him to say, but I can swear that she was just scratched in the arm, which is not very serious!"
She was really convinced by Xie Xiao. Before leaving, Yuan Jinxia told him that he must not tell Zhou Hao about his injury.
Zhou Hao looked ugly and said, "These Japanese pirates deserve to die. It seems that they need to speed up the progress. The leader of Shangguan Hall and there is nothing to be treated in the military camp. I won't keep you. I want to go and talk to General Yu about something."
He ignored Xie Xiao's roar.
As a mature man.
He didn't care about this level of provocation at all.
"Then let's say goodbye first!"
Shangguan Xi pulled Xie Xiao away.
Zhou Hao immediately set off and found Yu Dayong who was staring at the sand table in a daze.
Yu Dayong didn't raise his head, "It's so late, what's the matter with Bo Zhongyong?"
At this time, General Qi Weigang also walked in.
"Loyal and brave uncle"
"General Qi!"
After the two greeted each other, Zhou Hao said, "General Yu, if I can sneak into the Japanese pirates' nest, catch Mao Haifeng or kill him directly, can you capture the Japanese nucleus?"
Yu Dayong was stunned, looked up at Zhou Hao and sneered: "Brother Zhongyong, I have also sent elite troops to attack, but those Japanese pirates are brave enough to enter the nest at all. There are more than a thousand Japanese pirates in the Japanese nest. Can you get close to Maohai Peak?"
Zhou Hao said seriously: "Can it be my business? I will only ask you one thing, Yu Dayong, if I can make my Japanese pirates' nests a mess, can you take the opportunity to take Cengang!"
