Zhong Han, who was standing behind Taishi Ci, suddenly burst into laughter and said, "If we send out 800 people, we are already promoting Wu Ju."
Lao Hei took another look at these young soldiers. As expected, they were all strong and tough. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. I'll wake everyone up right now."
Taishi Ci waved his hand and said: "I'm not busy. I just heard what you said. Do Wu Ju's men often come to assess various taxes? If all the young people in the village sent us to Panyu, Wu Ju's people When I come here and find that you are not here, will I cause trouble for you?"
Lao Hei didn't expect that Tai Shici would take the initiative to think about them. He couldn't help being stunned. After a while, he said: "The general has thought carefully. Before we send the general off, we can place them on a small island overseas. Wu Ju's people Absolutely nowhere to be found."[
Tai Shici asked again: "Then when Wu Ju's people came, they found that there was no one in the village. I'm afraid it's not right."
Lao Hei grinned and said with a smile: "The general doesn't know. In fact, we often hide the old, weak, women and children in the village on the island. As you know, our village is very poor. We often fail to pay taxes. If we pay If we didn't pay the taxes, the government would arrest the women and children in the village and put them in jail. So when we didn't save enough money, we sent all the women and children to the island to escape for a while. But when the government people came, we found that the village was empty. I know what's going on. I won't take it to heart."
Taishi Ci suddenly realized: "I see. That's good. You wake up the villagers and seize the time to hide the old, weak, women and children on the island. Then send us to Panyu."
Lao Hei agreed and walked to a house next door in his clothes. But Taishi Ci could see clearly that there was deep worry on Lao Hei's face.
Taishi Ci couldn't help but call out to Lao Hei again and asked, "What's the problem?"
Lao Hei shook his head in panic and said, "No."
Taishi Ci said sternly: "That's not right. There must be something on your mind."
Lao Hei sighed and updated immediately: "To be honest, General, we just returned to the village yesterday. It was because there was insufficient food left and we could no longer stay on the island. So we took the risk and came back in order to raise funds. Some food."
Taishi Ci nodded and said, "I understand. You haven't raised enough food yet, so you need to continue to stay in the village."
Lao Hei sighed deeply again and lowered his head.
Taishi Ci suddenly said loudly: "Send the order. Everyone is only allowed to carry two days' worth of dry food. The rest of the food will be given to the people in the village."
Lao Hei was stunned by Tai Shici's sudden order. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. Such a grown man couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. Please come to more and faster chapters. He turned around and ran out, loudly calling the villagers. Come……
Watching the small fishing boats carrying the old and young in the village gradually sailing away, they finally turned into small black dots looming in the sea. Zhong Han couldn't help but said worriedly: "General, will they not be able to come back?" "
Taishi Ci knew what Zhong Han meant. If these fishermen could not come back, not only would they not be able to find a boat that could carry them to Panyu, but they would also lose a large amount of dry food. In two days, they would probably have to worry about how to fill it. I worked hard to fill my belly.
"Don't worry. I believe they will come back." After Taishi Ci said this, he suddenly became a little unconfident and added, "Tell the brothers, save some dry food and cut every meal in half. Bar."
However, Lao Hei did not disappoint Tai Shici. At noon, a fleet appeared on the sea. And the scale of the fleet was larger than when it set off in the early morning. It turned out that there were not only those hiding on the small island. The fishermen of this fishing village and villagers from several surrounding small villages were also hiding on the island. They heard Lao Hei explain the situation and saw the real dry food that Taishi Ci gave Lao Hei and the others. The other fishermen were clamoring for it. Help the real Han army deal with Wu Ju. Needless to say, these fishermen have long had enough of Wu Ju's oppression. Now is the time to resist.
Although the 800 people selected by Taishi Ci were all proficient in water skills, and many of them could also operate ships, it was only when they actually arrived on the sea that they realized what little skill they had. It's really not enough. If it weren't for the help of Lao Hei and his group of fishermen who have been working in the sea all year round, even if they find enough boats, they would never be able to reach Panyu by sea.
Things in the world are generally like this. One step went smoothly and the other went smoothly. Now there are not only fishing boats and boatmen that can go to sea. What surprised Taishi Ci was that among the new fishermen, there were actually several people who had been to Panyu by sea. Now Even the guide was omitted. What was even more surprising was that God came to help at this time. A weak north wind blew up, making the southward fleet travel fast and steadily.
In the evening of the same day, fishermen who were familiar with the sea conditions took the fleet to a sheltered harbor. It was impossible to sail after dark, especially on the sea where there were many unknown dangers. Although Taishi Ci was anxious, there was nothing he could do.[
After resting for a night, the fleet continued southward. There was still a slight north wind. The fleet sailed thrillingly on the vast sea.
Taishi Ci stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the blue sea as far as the eye could see. He couldn't help but feel excited. He said loudly: "It's so beautiful."
Lao Hei laughed and said: "General, you haven't seen the sea show its power. If you encounter a storm, you won't say this. People in our village who go to sea will die at least ten or eight times a year. .”
Taishi Ci nodded and said: "Your life is indeed hard and dangerous. Once Wu Mao is dealt with, I will definitely tell the lord about your situation. With my lord here, your good days will not be too far away."
Lao Hei smiled honestly and said, "Just try harder. As long as you can eat enough."
Suddenly, the fisherman on the boat who had been to Panyu suddenly shouted excitedly: "General, look, come ashore from here. Twenty miles to the west, we will reach Panyu."
When they heard that Panyu was right in front of them, the soldiers and fishermen on the boat cheered in unison.
The original plan was to arrive at Panyu within seven days. Now it is fully half ahead of schedule. This leaves sufficient preparation time for the attack on Panyu. Taishi Ci also breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's take a rest here first." .When we take Panyu City, more and faster chapters will come. Let everyone bring some food back."
Lao Hei grabbed the harpoon from the bow of the boat and jumped onto the beach first. He said loudly: "General, we will go with you."
Other fishermen also picked up their harpoons and jumped onto the beach with the soldiers.
Taishi Ci shook his head and said: "No. It is the duty of soldiers to attack cities and forts. It has nothing to do with you. You can't go."
Lao Hei and the fishermen stood there with a stubborn look on their faces. They had no intention of getting on the boat. Zhong Han suddenly said: "General, should we attack the city during the day or wait until dark?"
Taishi Ci really didn't think about this issue before he took care of arranging these fishermen. He had too few troops. If he attacked during the day, as long as he appeared outside Panyu City, the defenders would immediately close the city gate. As soon as the city gate was closed. Even if all these 800 people have three heads and six arms, they will have no use for them. The chance may be greater when it gets dark, but the defenders at the top of the city must be relaxed. Otherwise, the city wall in front of them will not be able to deal with it.
The top priority is to find a way to enter the city. As long as they enter the city, Taishi Ci believes that with the skills of eight hundred warriors, there will be absolutely no problem in taking Panyu City.
The beach where people were excited just now suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci lowered his head and thought deeply for a moment. He suddenly raised his head and suddenly saw the harpoon in Lao Hei's hand flashing in the sun. Guang couldn't help but pat his thigh and said repeatedly: "Okay. If you don't want to sit empty on the boat, then do me a favor."
The fishermen were all excited to have the opportunity to help. Lao Hei patted his chest and said, "General, please give me your instructions. Even if I risk my life, I, Lao Hei, will definitely help the general get things done."
They ate and lived together for a day and a half. Lao Hei and the fishermen already knew the true identity of Tai Shi Ci. Such a powerful general had no airs in front of them. He even gave them his dry food. He was honest and honest. Lao Hei was completely convinced this time. He was telling the truth. No matter what Taishi Ci asked him to do, he was willing to go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of fire.
Taishi Ci smiled and said, "There's no point in risking your lives. I just want to ask you to catch more fish."
Lao Hei couldn't believe his ears. He asked in surprise: "The general wants to eat fish."
The more than 100 men who came with him were all good fishermen. Even when the boat was sailing, they could take some time to catch some fish. Along the way, Lao Hei suggested several times to Taishi Ci to try the delicious food in the sea. He was rejected by Taishi Ci. Now he was about to arrive at Panyu City. Taishi Ci suddenly thought of eating fish. Lao Hei couldn't help but feel his heart sink. This sign was not good.
But I heard Taishi Ci burst out laughing and said, "What kind of fish do you want to eat? A certain fish likes to eat meat. I asked you to help fish for the purpose of selling it to the city."
Zhong Han clapped his hands and said excitedly: "General, this is a great plan."[
Lao Hei and his fishermen brothers looked at Tai Shici and Zhong Han blankly. They didn't know what they meant.
Taishi Ci waved his hand and said, "Why are you still stunned here? Don't you want to help me with this?"
The fishermen just woke up from a dream and returned to their fishing boats one after another. The fishing tools were all ready. In just an hour, they returned home with a full load.
At this time, the eight hundred warriors had also gathered. Taishi Ci personally selected fifty of them and said loudly: "Brothers, change your clothes quickly."
Only then did the fishermen realize. It turned out that Taishi Ci wanted to pretend to be a fisherman who went to the city to sell seafood and sneak into the city quietly. Lao Hei figured out Taishi Ci's purpose and quickly said: "General, this is not appropriate."
