Chapter Twenty-Six: The Metropolitan Governor Is Really a God-Man
"But... they really drove to the east..."
The sentry reported while observing, and then continued: "After going a while to the east, they extinguished the torches, and now there are no traces."
Calculating the time, it is almost past Yinshi (3:00-5:00), but the weather is still extremely dark.
At this moment, after the torches were extinguished, the lake returned to calm.
The lake surface became calm, but Qi Xian began to laugh again.
Seeing this, the other people began to wonder.
I saw Qi Xian saying with a smile on his face: "You dare to try your best even if you are a trivial person. They are trying to divert misfortune to the east!"
"Diverting trouble to the east?!"
Although everyone could not understand, they felt that their Grand Governor seemed very powerful.
Qi Xian did not keep everyone waiting for too long, and began to explain silently.
"Chang Guo must have discovered that his plan failed after he came, but he didn't dare to admit that I discovered their plan, so he simply threw the blame directly to the Daxia Kingdom in the east, so that we would think that these warships were
They came from the Great Xia Kingdom, but what they don’t know is that the Great Xia Kingdom doesn’t even have warships at all!”
"If what I expected is correct, after sailing for a while, they quietly extinguished the torches and then returned to Chang Kingdom with a smear campaign. How could such a trivial trick be hidden from my eyes?"
Sure enough, soon after, the originally bright torch gradually extinguished, and Lake Tai continued to return to calm at this moment.
"The Governor was indeed right!"
"As expected of the Grand Governor, his observations are deeper than ours!"
"The Grand Governor is truly a man of God!"
A group of flatterers were so light that they almost floated into the sky.
However, what he didn't know was that the torches gradually disappeared because the heavy fog made it impossible to see clearly. In the warship at this moment...
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!! Brother Di smokes Hua Zi!!"
"Hey, no, no, no, no, I'm only fifty years old. Don't call me brother. Come and come and slap me!"
Not only Di Renjie and Xu Jing, but all the soldiers were also very excited at this moment, just because the ship at this moment could be loaded with endless treasures.
Everyone lit a huazi in their hands, pulled it down with great joy, and then took a sip of the wine they carried with them. They were as happy as gods.
In some cabins, the sound of playing cards even sounded.
Just as I was nervous when I experienced the baptism of arrows, I am now so excited. It is precisely because of this that my hand of throwing cards has become heavier.
Bang!! Bang! Bang!!
The sound of playing cards constantly hitting the table was heard on every ship. It seemed that this was the only way to vent their feelings.
It’s so cool, so cool!
At this moment, Di Renjie finally started to tell Xu Jing what happened.
It turns out that a few days ago, the two of them had already sent letters to each other and decided on this method.
First, Di Renjie needed to urge the ship to be completed on time, and at the same time he had to choose a foggy night.
Then, countless scarecrows need to be tied to the boat. Their main function is to pierce all the arrows that are fired.
Now after countless rounds of arrow rain, the straw men on every ship are now riddled with arrows.
Moreover, the above are all Jiang Hanjian who are frightened by the news.
There is no doubt that with these arrows, Daxia's chances of winning against Yu will be countless times greater.
The more Xu Jing listened, the more excited he became. At this age, he was about to jump up. His hand holding Di Renjie couldn't help but tremble.
"If something really happens, we still have to rely on you, Master Di, and Prime Minister Zhuge. This method is absolutely perfect!"
Hearing this, Di Renjie just held Hua Zi in one hand and moved it slowly with the other.
"No, no, Xu Shangshu, you have forgotten our Majesty!"
Hearing what Di Renjie said, Xu Jing quickly understood.
"Yes, indeed in the end, His Majesty was the most sensible and calculated everything in an orderly manner!"
"Yes, yes, that's it. It's obvious that your Majesty has already thought of all the strategies to deal with the enemy as of today, just to see if we can share his worries!"
"Now it seems that we have finally lived up to His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
At this moment, Xu Jing completely understood Xia Yan's good intentions after Di Renjie's explanation.
His Majesty the Emperor is very thoughtful.
I once suspected that Xia Yan was a foolish king, but now it seems that this is just a slap in the face.
Look at people, they had already calculated that there would be such a battle a long time ago.
Although the collection of the squire's money caused a surge in the treasury, the province still needs to save money.
No, this not only saves money on making arrows, but also obtains the famous Jianghan arrows from all over the world.
After getting off the boat, Xu Jing took a cursory look at the straw men on each boat and smiled with great joy.
It was already dawn, and all the warships were dragged ashore. Xu Jing made a rough estimate that there were at least five thousand arrows on each ship.
And when thirty ships came down, it was estimated that they got at least 150,000 arrows.
There is no doubt that those who join the war with these arrows will completely tip the balance in favor of their own side.
"Let's go, we need to transport these arrows to the front line quickly. Prime Minister Zhuge and the others probably need these arrows too."
Hearing this, Xu Jing also nodded and said directly to a subordinate on the side: "Please ask for leave for me and Di Shangshu today and tomorrow. We will not go to the morning court."
Then the subordinates nodded and left, and the remaining people began to roll up their sleeves and start sorting arrows.
Since the sky has begun to get brighter, it is not good for the warship to get too close to Lake Tai.
Fortunately, all warships have pulleys underneath, so they can be pushed a little further away from Taihu Lake.
After pushing it a few hundred meters to ensure that it would not be seen, everyone began to carefully count the supplies.
Anyway, the two of them don't plan to go to the morning session today, so it would be a good choice to appreciate their results in one night here.
A large group of soldiers are constantly packing and sorting these arrows, which will become the key to the Daxia army's victory on the battlefield.
At the same time, Xia Yan, who was above the court, yawned and looked at the disappearing people below with confusion.
"Where have Xu Shangshu and Di Shangshu gone?"
At this time, the remaining six old men looked at each other in confusion. After some eye contact, they confirmed that no one knew about this, and then Zhu Ming could only bite the bullet and go out.
"Uh... we don't know either..."
"You don't know?"
Xia Yan was also stunned for a moment. The seven old men were close to each other and had no secrets. Even they didn't know about it.
Suddenly something occurred to him, and Xia Yan suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
Is it possible... This chapter has been completed!
