"General," the impatient man shouted, "it doesn't matter what the Yunchui people want to do. Let's send troops quickly to stop them, otherwise it will be too late."
"No." Some people's expressions changed drastically and they quickly expressed their objections.
"Everyone, Sishan Islands seems to have a lot of people and ships now, but in fact our strength is not as good as before. If you are rash, send a fleet to stop them, just in case the East China Sea Barrier comes from the south."
"Which one of you is going to resist?"
"Yes." A cautious general agreed.
"Although it's not pleasant to hear, I still have to say something to make others' ambitions destroy my own prestige. Yunchui's warships have always been stronger than ours, and the officers and sailors on board are also better trained than ours."
"Six hundred ships is roughly six to seven fleets. Now we are in a headwind position, so we need to send at least eight to twelve fleets to have a chance of winning."
However, once so many ships are sent out, the entire Sishan Islands will be almost empty.
Maybe it fits the purpose of the East China Sea Barrier.
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the entire conference hall, and everyone's face turned gloomy.
A long time passed, but some people still felt unwilling.
"Then we can't just let them travel freely on the sea. What if..."
If these ships really get stuck around the three food islands, then they won't even have any new recruits.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
There was a sound of fingers clasping the string on the table, and everyone present felt upset.
Go in search of reputation.
But I saw Taki Ishikawa looking at the huge sea chart with a thoughtful look on his face.
"General, general?"
Ishikawa Taki came back to his senses and suddenly landed on Dinghai Pier.
"Since we can't stop those 600 ships, they can go wherever they want. We will attack them and save them."
The others looked at each other.
"General, you mean we are going to attack Huayang County again? But..."
But the Donghai Barrier in Pinghai County in the south will never sit idly by.
"I bet that the East China Sea Barrier will not move." Ishikawa Taki snorted and sneered, "Even if it does move, their will will not be too strong in the event of a war."
"Why?" someone was curious.
"Because up to now, their legion general Lu Fuhai is still detained in Star City."
"General," some people said in a very tactful tone, "Even if the general is not around, every fleet in the East China Sea Barrier is very capable of defeating it."
Thinking back to the great battle at Nanli Island, Lu Yulong and his Yulong fleet dared to block three fleets coming from Xilong Island for support. In the end, they killed the Chaiwei in full view of the public, and at the same time forced the other two fleets to turn collectively...
Hum!
Ishikawa Taki sneered and shook his head.
"This time the situation is different. Lu Fuhai probably won't be able to get out. Although there is a deputy general Xin'ou in the Pinghai County headquarters, his qualifications and influence are not enough to serve as the commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Barrier."
"With Yunzhui's human nature, they will definitely be involved in the struggle for power in the coming days. No one should care about the war in Huayang County. By then, our world will be ours."
As for the Dinghai Pier, Mo Canghai's northern garrison had been crippled last year, and now they have withdrawn to Jiuyuan Racecourse to rest, leaving only the Central Army Corps that has been defeated repeatedly.
Nothing to worry about at all.
At this time, a military advisor hesitated and stood up.
"What the general said makes sense. But the military manual says that in all wars, you should first plan for defeat and then for victory."
"In case, I mean just in case."
"In case the generals of the East China Sea Barrier have not been fighting for power as you said; or maybe Lu Fuhai returned to Pinghai County just after our army set off. Then they directly launched a north-south pincer attack."
"What about the Sishan Islands?"
"Is this still a problem?" Ishikawa Taki smiled bitterly.
"Brothers, on the island and on this island
You have all seen the situation in the soil. We have nothing left. And we still have hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting for food. If we don't take action, even if the Yunchui people don't come to attack, we will be trapped and die on the Sishan Islands."
There was silence all around.
Dry!
Suddenly someone cursed fiercely.
"Damn that fat warrior. If he is still alive, I will have to kill him myself."
The others nodded silently.
If the local warriors had been more agile when they landed last year, such as occupying one or two county towns or grabbing some food, they would not be so passive now.
It was really one wrong step, one wrong step after another.
But it's useless to say anything now.
Ishikawa Taki stood up again.
"So this landing battle is a desperate battle. It will be led by this general personally, and everyone will be mobilized. We must be quick and precise to break through the Central Army's defense line as soon as possible and enter Huayang County."
"yes!"
————
Star City, Royal Palace.
Five days have passed since Du Ziming entered the palace to see the saint.
Although the medicine left by Master Hongguang is still there, its effectiveness is getting shorter and shorter.
Emperor Changxing would fall ill several times a day, and unless he took medicine, he would be in pain and sweat every time.
That day, Changlu had just helped his master clean up his body when Emperor Changxing raised his hand softly.
"Changlu, where is the master now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, we have almost arrived at Yunzhong County."
well.
Emperor Changxing sighed.
"We just arrived in Yunzhong County, so isn't it possible that our return date is far away?"
"Stop your busy work and go call Concubine Qing over to me."
"Your Majesty," Changlu had said comforting words countless times. He really didn't know what to say at this moment, so he had to say: "You just took medicine, why don't you take a rest first?"
Emperor Changxing ignored it and just sat quietly on the dragon bed like a corpse.
Seeing his persistence, Changlu had no choice but to signal to his young apprentice not far away.
Not long after, Concubine Qing arrived at the Yangxin Hall.
After seeing Emperor Changxing's complexion clearly, she was also greatly surprised, and it took her a while to remember the etiquette.
"I have met your Majesty."
Emperor Changxing opened his eyes and could only see the figure of Mo Hu, "My beloved concubine is here. Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Qing sat down calmly.
One of them sat on the dragon bed, the other sat on the side of the brocade chair, both of them were silent.
After a long while, Emperor Changxing couldn't sit still at first, "My dear concubine, what do you think when you see me in such a mess?"
"I don't have any thoughts," Concubine Qing lowered her eyes, "I am thinking about returning to Qingyun Palace soon. Should I close the palace door and refuse visitors directly, or how should I respond to the insinuations of other sisters."
After all, in the past two months, no one else, including the prince and queen, had been able to step into the heart-nurturing palace.
Everyone has been full of curiosity about this place for a long time.
"Then my beloved, aren't you curious why I summoned you alone?"
Concubine Qing shook her head gently, admiring her slender fingers indifferently.
"I am not curious at all. If possible, I would rather practice sword riding and horseback riding in Qingyun Palace than come to your Majesty."
After speaking, she glanced at Changlu.
The air in the palace was already turbid, but the doors and windows everywhere were tightly locked.
She just sat there for a while and felt a little suffocated.
The old eunuch wiped his sweat and silently moved his eyes.
Doesn't he know that the current Yangxin Palace smells bad? Even if he burns incense, he still can't cover up the weird smell.
But the current Emperor Changxing cannot see the wind, so what can he do?
Emperor Changxing was speechless and a little helpless when he saw that she was not getting enough food and salt.
He had no choice but to get straight to the point.
"Qing'er,
Master Hongguang probably won't be able to come back in time, and my time is running out. And I have already found out what happened to An Rong and Qian Qiao."
"Just tell us where our prince is. While I still have the breath, I can quickly find him and write it on the jade plate."
"Otherwise, when I die and the prince succeeds to the throne, he will never have the chance to return to the royal family."
