Wang Feihu stopped holding the wine glass in his hand, and the smile on his face froze. The wine in the glass splashed coldly on his open chest.
These three thousand soldiers and horses are not too much, but they are not much. If he usually looked down upon these three thousand soldiers and horses, but now, Zhao Gongdao already has five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands. Give him another
With three thousand, he has nearly ten thousand people in his hands. In this way, a quarter of the soldiers and horses in the city belong to him, I'm afraid...
Wang Feihu thought this way, his stiff smile suddenly relaxed, and he asked: "Brother, how much did you lose in this battle with five thousand soldiers and horses?"
Yan Zhuo replied: "We lost a hundred people."
Wang Feihu asked: "Hundreds of people."
Wang Zhanjin on the side rushed to say: "Report to the general, we lost 800 people in this battle, and more than 100 people were injured."
Wang Feihu nodded and said: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to give you these 3,000 troops. It's just that my garrison and city defense camp suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the available troops in the city are only 20,000. Just... uh
, I wonder what my brother is going to do with three thousand soldiers and horses?"
Yan Zhuo raised his wine glass and said solemnly: "Brother, in this battle, you showed the bravery and majesty of our Jiangzuo Army. I admire you. This victory is the glory of our Lianjiang City. We defeated the enemy generals."
, Burning the enemy ships, this is all the credit of the eldest brother, not to mention other things, just for this credit, the eldest brother must have been upgraded to three levels in a row, this eldest brother, come and take one of us brothers!"
Wang Feihu didn't react at first. He only put the wine glass to his mouth before he realized that this "Gongdao Zhao" wanted to give himself the credit for burning the Japanese treasure ship and killing Zhongbu Tooshort.
His frowning brows instantly relaxed, and he laughed heartily and said, "Brother, this is a surprise. This is everyone's credit. It's everyone's credit. Let's go together!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the cup together.
Seeing that Wang Feihu stopped talking, Yan Zhuo poured another glass and said: "Now the Japanese invaders are about to lose their momentum. Our Lianjiang defenders have played an indispensable role in the war against the Japanese. We can take the lead in recovering Shao'an in one battle."
, Ning'an, Yongxing, and Jiafeng. Apart from eldest brother, who else in Jiangzuo is so brave? Come and give me another drink."
Wang Feihu's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he was very happy: "Brother, we are all a family. There is no need to be so polite. Come and I will go alone with my brother."
After drinking this glass, Yan Zhuo filled another glass and stood up and said: "Brother, now that the Japanese pirates are in decline and our army is at its peak, it is a great opportunity to regain Zhenhai. Please call me again."
With three thousand soldiers and horses, I will go to recapture Zhenhai and completely eliminate the Japanese invasion."
The wine glass in Wang Feihu's hand stopped in mid-air again, and his cheerful smiling face froze again. This time he did not let the smile relax, but sighed and said: "Brother, I understand what you are thinking. This Zhenhai City
A good city is occupied by Japanese pirates. I don't feel sorry for you as my brother. We brothers speak from the bottom of our hearts. It's not that I, Wang Feihu, don't want to take back Zhenhai and eliminate the Japanese invaders, but the gentlemen above have to rely on Japanese pirates to make money.
, If you don’t rely on this Japanese traitor, there is no money and food in the imperial treasury. How can you prepare military pay without money and food? The Japanese traitor massacres the city and plunders the land. In the eyes of the superiors, the Japanese traitor is small money, but the wealth collected by the Japanese is big money. It’s not that my brother has no intention.
, it is really forced by the situation!”
He was speaking like this with tears streaming down his face and a sad look on his face, looking depressed and frustrated.
Yan Zhuo's heart trembled when he heard what he said. Looking at the man in front of him holding a wine jar and crying bitterly, for a moment he felt that Wang Feihu still looked like a tragic hero, but he didn't know that Wang Feihu's appearance changed in the next second.
Wang Feihu pinched the tears in his eyes, his eyes were red and swollen, and he said: "Three thousand troops and horses are too many, I can only give you one thousand troops and horses. This is the most help that my brother can give you despite the risk."
." He was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "If I give you five hundred more troops, brother, I am also a bloody man, and I also want to regain Zhenhai, but brother, my ability is limited, so I can only help.
You have so much. Good brother, the next thing depends on you!"
As he spoke like this, he burst into tears again and was staggering with grief, as if he was worried about the country and the people but was unable to do anything about it.
Yan Zhuo looked at Wang Feihu, his eyes filled with sighs and sighs.
I lamented Wang Feihu's acting skills and lamented that the Jiangzuo Dynasty actually forced the general to look like an actor.
In fact, Yan Zhuozhen couldn't say how much he disliked Wang Feihu. On the contrary, he knew that Wang Feihu would take the lead in every battle when defending the city, and he still had some admiration in his heart. However, the Jiangzuo Dynasty's world turned these strong and brave generals into clowns.
Wang Feihu, Wang Zhanjin and Lao Jia are just examples: those who can act have become generals and clowns for the men, while those who can't act can only be cannon fodder captains and veterans guarding the city, becoming clowns in life.
Yan Zhuo cupped his hands, thanked Wang Feihu, and returned to his seat. He looked at Wang Zhanjin beside him. He had wine in one hand and meat in the other, and was eating with great pleasure.
When Wang Zhanjin saw Yan Zhuo looking at him, he only glanced at the pig knuckle in front of him, as if he was sending a message with his eyebrows: Eat it or not, or let me eat it if you don't.
Yan Zhuo didn't respond to him with his eyes, he just grabbed the elbow and took a bite. Wang Zhanjin saw that the elbow was hopeless and sighed with regret.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Wang Feihu and the others had already eaten and drank enough. They patted their round bellies and half-closed their eyelids. Wang Feihu clapped his hands and said, "Come on, let's go to Singchun Tower today."
He held the table, walked to Yan Zhuo, and said with a mouth full of wine: "Come on, good brother, let's go to the Sing Chun Tower to have fun, and let those girls sing Sing Chun for us!"
As soon as Yan Zhuo stood up, he stumbled, his eyes were blurred, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Wang Zhanjin, who was standing next to him, had quick eyes and hands and helped him up.
Yan Zhuo murmured: "Good brother, brother, I am too drunk. I really can't bear it anymore." Wang Zhanjin on the side also said: "General, General Zhao has drunk too much, I will send him back."
Wang Feihu nodded, hugged his brother beside him with a smile on his face, and walked straight out of the tent. Only then did he glance back with a fierce look, where Yan Zhuo and Wang Zhanjin were just now.
The big tent in the martial arts arena.
Yan Zhuo was sitting on a chair, deep in thought. Beside him, Wang Zhanjin put one hand on his knee and held a piece of dogtail grass in the other. His face could not tell whether he was solemn or dull.
"Hey, do you think these 6,500 people can take back Zhenhai?" Wang Zhanjin said.
Yan Zhuo shook his head.
"No?" Wang Zhanjin asked.
Yan Zhuo replied: "I don't know. There are at least 20,000 Japanese pirates in Zhenhai, and the city defense of Zhenhai City is stronger than that of Lianjiang City. We 6,500 people want to attack the city head-on, which is nothing more than a dream."
.”
"Can you think of a way to avoid the city wall and go directly to Zhenhai City?"
Yan Zhuo glanced at Wang Zhanjin and said: "I just said that idiots are talking about dreams, and now I see that idiots are talking about dreams. People are not birds, how can they fly into Zhenhai, and even more than six thousand birds are too big a target."
Wang Zhanjin didn't know how to refute Yan Zhuo, so he only replied: "It's not just birds that can fly, aren't the clouds also floating in the sky?"
"Yun!" Yan Zhuo shouted, "What did you just say?"
Wang Zhanjin was stunned and said: "Yun, I'm talking about Yun, what's wrong?"
Yan Zhuo looked at Wang Zhanjin and laughed loudly: "Wang Zhanjin, you are not an idiot, I am an idiot. I have a way to fly into Zhenhai!"
"What can we do?" Wang Zhanjin asked excitedly.
"You know Baiyun Villa, right?"
Wang Zhanjin nodded.
"Back then, I had a battle with Gu Zhiyuan from Baiyun Villa in the Golden Summit Palace. The Golden Summit Palace was on the top of the mountain, but Gu Zhiyuan was able to fly to the top of the mountain with a flying ball, a secret weapon of Baiyun Villa. We can also imitate it.
The flying ball flew over the Zhenhai city wall and launched a surprise attack on the Japanese bandits in the city."
Wang Zhanjin's eyes widened with excitement: "Can you make that flying ball?"
"I haven't done it before, but I know a rough idea." Yan Zhuo added, "I need a big bamboo frame that can seat people, as well as tent cloth, charcoal, and a small stove. If we have these things, we can try it first."
"But even with these things, how are we going to get down from this flying ball? If we are discovered by the Japanese pirates, we will be shot through by them before we can fly down." Wang Zhanjin asked.
Yan Zhuo frowned and said: "Prepare the rope, let's rappel down! Make him a hundred flying balls. Even if he can only send a hundred people at a time, he can still block the Japanese pirates' offensive."
Thinking of countermeasures, Yan Zhuo and Wang Zhanjin arranged for the general's basket weaving and the city's bamboo craftsmen to find the martial arts field early the next morning and let them weave baskets on the spot.
"Weave baskets, weave big baskets, big baskets that can seat ten people, weave one tael of silver each!"
Under the temptation of a tael of silver, the soldiers and bamboo craftsmen started weaving baskets with full "horsepower". While weaving baskets, the tailors in the city were invited by Yan Zhuo to renovate the tents.
For a moment, the martial arts field that was supposed to be a place for soldiers to practice martial arts was actually occupied by a group of bamboo craftsmen and tailors, looking like a small handicraft factory. The efficiency of these people also directly shocked the bamboo craftsmen and tailors who participated in making the flying balls.
They later recruited local workers to carry out group work, which directly promoted the development of business and the sprouting of capital along the southeast coast of Jiangzuo, but this is a story for another time.
The news that Yan Zhuo had recruited a group of bamboo craftsmen and tailors soon reached Wang Feihu's ears. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't figure out what "Zhao Gongdao" was doing, and even the Jiang army had their own specialties.
statement.
Some said that Yan Zhuo wanted to do something to invite the gods, some said that Yan Zhuo was trying to confuse the Japanese spies, and some said that Yan Zhuo wanted to hoard and make a fortune.
Yan Zhuo only felt funny when he heard this and didn't care. He looked at the flying ball that was about to be finished and thought to himself: Wait until the flying ball takes off, and you will know what justice comes from heaven!
