Everyone was dumbfounded, and the messenger was so stupid that he froze there, not knowing how to respond.
Zhang Fei's remarks were simply "rebellious and unethical". If this were placed in a peaceful and prosperous time, it would not be an exaggeration to directly kill the nine tribes.
Although Liu Bei is now in dire straits, Zhang Fei's son is still in Liu Bei's hands. Zhang Fei is planning to fall out with Liu Bei and not even care about his own son's life.
After Zhang Fei yelled, he raised the wine jar and drank heavily.
At this time, Fan Jiang was busy and said with a smile: "The general is drunk. Lord Angel, please go to the official residence to rest. When the general wakes up, it will not be too late to come back to deliver the order."
Fan Jiang quickly sent someone to send the messenger away.
Looking at the drunken Zhang Fei and thinking about what Zhang Fei had just said, Fan Jiang had a vague idea brewing in his mind.
…
After being drunk for half a day, Zhang Fei finally woke up at dusk.
At this time, Fan Jiang dared to step forward and told Zhang Fei that it was an angel who came to deliver the order and how Zhang Fei cursed Liu Bei.
After Zhang Fei heard this, his expression changed drastically and he exclaimed: "Is this really what I said?"
"How dare you, the general, tell such nonsense?" Fan Jiang said hurriedly.
"Oh, I'm all drunk. How could I be so disrespectful to the emperor?" Zhang Fei felt regretful and slapped himself on the head repeatedly.
Looking at Zhang Fei who was blaming himself, Fan Jiang hesitated for a while and said cautiously: "General, I'm sorry to be blunt, but at this point, it is a foregone conclusion that the Chu army will capture Luzhou. With only our small strength,
It can't be stopped at all. Since the general has clearly seen the emperor, it's better..."
"fart!"
Fan Jiang originally thought that Zhang Fei's previous complaint was because he wanted to betray Liu Bei. Fan Jiang wanted to save his life, so he wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Zhang Fei to return to Yan Liang.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei gave him a shout.
"Even if the emperor makes all kinds of mistakes, he is still my sworn brother. As for Yingzhou, even if I fight to the last man, I will fight to the death and never admit defeat!" Zhang Fei suddenly became solemn and generous.
.
Fan Jiang was startled and did not dare to speak out what he was trying to persuade him to surrender. He was secretly glad that he did not say it out loud, otherwise Zhang Fei might hear it and he might get angry and kill him on the spot.
Zhang Fei immediately ordered that he immediately draw 10,000 troops and lead them to Osaka Castle to return reinforcements.
After the military order was issued, Zhang Fei said to Fan Jiang again: "After I leave, I will leave you with 10,000 troops to guard the mountain pass. During these times when I am not here, if you lose the mountain pass city, I will cut it into pieces."
, do you understand?"
Facing Zhang Fei's fierce military order, Fan Jiang's heart grew colder, but he did not dare to disobey. He hurriedly said: "General, don't worry, I will defend the city to the death."
"That's true." Zhang Fei nodded slightly, but shouted: "If that's the case, why don't you get out and get ready, why are you still standing here."
"Yes, I am going to prepare now. I will retire." Fan Jiang, his face covered with ashes, promised tremblingly, and quickly retreated.
After retreating outside the palace and seeing no one around, Fan Jiang let out a long breath.
He glanced back, remembering Zhang Fei's vicious attitude, he gritted his teeth secretly, and a cold resentment quietly flashed through his eyes.
…
The news about Zhang Fei's army was quickly reported in detail, and an urgent report was sent to Yan Liang on Shikoku Island.
After receiving this information, Yan Liang immediately ordered the entire army to prepare to cross the strait and capture Osaka City before Zhang Fei's army returned to defend Osaka City.
That day, Yan Liang discussed matters with the generals in the tent and decided on the matter of crossing the sea with the army tomorrow.
After the discussion was over, the generals dispersed and each made preparations.
Just when Yan Liang wanted to take a break, Zhou Cang came to report that it was Lu Lingqi who had escorted grain and grass to the camp.
"Lingqi is here?" Yan Liang was a little surprised and called her in.
Since the capture of Hebei, Yan Liang has rarely asked Lu Lingqi to accompany him on his expeditions. After all, she is just a girl. Years of hardship and bloodshed are not a good thing after all.
This time Yan Liang was attacking the Japanese, so he asked Lu Lingqi to stay in Yejing, but he didn't expect that she would travel thousands of miles to appear on the front line of the Japanese attack.
Yan Liang was only surprised for a moment, and soon understood the purpose of her visit.
Not long after, the curtain was lifted and Lu Lingqi stepped into the tent.
It's still the same peerless appearance, and the same sassy grace, but a few traces of time have been added to that stunning face.
"Qiqi pays homage to the emperor's brother." Lu Lingqi bowed her head to greet him.
Yan Liang personally helped her up and said with a smile: "Lingqi, how did you come to Yingzhou?"
Lu Lingqi smiled lightly: "I followed the fleet that transported food from Yangzhou and came here across the sea."
"You traveled thousands of miles to get here, probably to kill your last enemy with your own hands." Yan Liang sighed.
Lu Lingqi's expression moved slightly, and she nodded: "The only person who knows Lingqi is the imperial brother. Yes, Lingqi is here for that big-eared thief."
Sure enough.
Although Lu Bu's death was ordered by Cao Cao personally, Liu Bei also encouraged him from the side. For Lu Lingqi, Cao Cao was her number one enemy who killed her father, and Liu Bei was her number one.
Enemy number two.
Now that Cao Cao has been dead for many years, the big-eared thief Liu Bei is left. He has been hiding in hiding for so many years, and finally fled to the Japanese island, with no other place to escape.
Lu Lingqi must kill this last enemy with her own hands no matter what.
"Forget it, if you don't kill the big-eared thief, the resentment in your heart will not go away. You will have a long life in the future. Living in hatred all the time is not an option. This time, I will help you understand this hatred.
"Yan Liang solemnly made his promise.
Lu Lingqi was overjoyed and hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, my dear brother, for your help."
At that moment, Yan Liang informed Lu Lingqi of his plan to cross the sea tomorrow and assigned her the task of being a vanguard.
Lu Lingqi was so eager to fight that she wished she could fly across the strait and take Liu Bei's head directly from his neck.
After a long chat at noon, it was almost dusk, so Yan Liang planned to set up a small banquet in the tent to welcome his adopted sister. After a hearty meal, he would go on a killing spree tomorrow morning.
At this moment, Zhou Cang hurriedly entered the account and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the scout ship at sea has returned an urgent report. A big storm seems to be approaching the Japanese island. I'm afraid it will hit the island at the latest tonight.
Juan Yingzhou."
Big storm!
Yan Liang was startled and hurried out of his tent, galloping on his horse to reach the coast.
Stopping and looking from a distance, I saw that the southeastern sky was covered with dark clouds, and large black clouds seemed to be approaching here.
Yan Liang frowned secretly and murmured: "It seems that a big storm is indeed approaching."
Yan Liang knew very well that Yingzhou was an island country and that during the eastward expedition, he had to pay great attention to the storms coming from the sea.
In the past, when the Mongolian army went on an expedition to the Japanese country, it was because they did not pay attention to meteorological observation. As a result, a big storm destroyed the entire fleet, and the attempt to destroy the Japanese was in vain.
Yan Liang is familiar with history and will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the Mongolian army.
Therefore, Yan Liang specially selected a season that was less prone to storms during this expedition, and sent out scout ships to observe the weather conditions within a few hundred miles of the sea at any time.
At present, Yan Liang has gathered troops in the four countries, and the scout ships observing the weather are already distributed several hundred miles southeast of the four islands, so they can send out signals of the approaching storm in advance.
Seeing Yan Liang's solemn expression, Lu Lingqi said curiously: "Brother, isn't it just a strong wind? There is nothing to worry about."
Lu Lingqi is a true "land duck", so of course she doesn't know anything about the sea.
"Sister, you don't know something. Storms at sea are different from those on land. When a big storm blows at sea, sometimes it can even overturn a big ship. If I don't pay attention and use troops blindly, these tens of thousands of troops may be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
In a short time, it was destroyed by a big storm." Yan Liang said solemnly.
"It's so powerful." Lu Lingqi was shocked and speechless.
Yan Liang nodded and sighed: "It seems that the plan to cross the strait immediately can only be put on hold for the time being. Let's see if the storm will blow here."
Yan Liang said nothing more and turned his horse back to camp.
Returning to the imperial camp, Yan Liang immediately issued an order, ordering the ships to return to the harbor immediately to take shelter from the wind, and ordered the soldiers of the camps to fortify their forts to prepare for the attack of the big storm.
At the same time, Yan Liang sent Pegasus to the Fukuoka area and ordered Gan Ning's troops to stay still to avoid the storm.
So, overnight, the Chu troops on all fronts stopped fighting and huddled in the camp without moving.
Yan Liang lit the stove in the imperial tent, drank the fine wine Lu Lingqi brought from the mainland, and waited to see if the storm would come.
After finishing a bottle of wine, Yan Liang clicked his tongue and praised: "In the final analysis, our Dachu wine tastes better, while the Japanese wine is simply unpalatable to the throat."
"Lingqi knew that His Majesty was thinking about this, so when she came this time, she specially brought the fine wine brewed by Ye Jing." Lu Lingqi said with a smile, poured another glass for Yan Liang, and drank one herself.
The fragrant neck slowly squirmed, and a trace of fine wine entered her throat. After drinking, Lu Lingqi's face became slightly dizzy.
The bright red color made Lu Lingqi's face even more charming and charming.
Yan Liang was slightly drunk, looking at that beautiful face, his heart couldn't help but move slightly, and an inexplicable feeling came over him.
He couldn't help but raise his hand, caressed Lu Lingqi's face, and sighed with pity: "Lingqi, I am busy fighting in all directions for my brother. I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost weight."
The generous palm caressed her face. The warmth in her palm and the sudden intimacy made Lu Lingqi's heart throb, and the glow on her face became a little darker.
Lu Lingqi, who was strong and valiant, felt secretly ashamed at this moment.
However, she was not as shy as her daughter usually is. Instead, she stretched out her hand, held Yan Liang's palm, rubbed it gently on her face, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warmth of Yan Liang's palm.
Yan Liang looked at Lu Lingqi's tender look, and his heart was throbbing with desire, and a fire was burning from the bottom of his heart.
The atmosphere in the big tent was very ambiguous for a while.
At this moment, the tent above the head suddenly made a "squeaking" sound, and the whistling wind suddenly started.
The invisible wind that penetrated through the tent made the brazier in the tent crackle.
