My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 499: Who can compare with the two of them in terms of mind?

"After I fell into the sea, I happened to meet Senior Liang who was passing by the coast and was about to return to Wuzhou. After being rescued by him, I went to a mountain and saw a Japanese altar and a Japanese man wearing a weird robe making sacrifices. The area is heavily guarded."

"So, Senior Liang and I adopted the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, and the last general killed the Japanese..."

It was luck that Lu Meng survived the catastrophe, but later he destroyed the Japanese altar and killed the Japanese who were offering sacrifices. That was not luck, it was an unexpected encounter.

Su Chen and even the generals in the tent thought carefully, how could they not understand that the strange wind outside the island suddenly disappeared that day, which may be related to Lu Meng's destruction of the opponent's altar.

"General Lu, this is a great success!"

Su Chen raised his hand and asked Wu Zixun to bring two empty bowls to Lu Meng and Liang Guyuan. Then he personally raised the wine jar and poured the imperial wine for them.

Putting the wine jar on the table, Su Chen touched the wine bowl and saluted the two of them: "If it weren't for you two, our soldiers might still be trapped by the strange wind at this moment. I salute you two for the sake of the soldiers!"

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Meng and Liang Guyuan were both military generals and martial arts masters. They were bold and bold at the moment. They touched Su Chen's wine bowl politely and drank the royal wine in one gulp.

Immediately, after showing the bottom of the bowl to the others, Lu Bu, Xiang Yu and others gathered around, asking Wu Zixun to continue filling up the drink for him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Chen looked at the old man and pursed his lips.

Liang Guyuan looked at the emperor opposite for a moment, then slowly raised his hand.

Lu Meng's face was red and his steps were a little sloppy. He handed the bowl to the old man next to him, then raised his hand and bowed around him.

Now that the army has reached the Japanese island, the rest is left to the soldiers. As a martial artist, he will no longer interfere.

"Your Majesty, what else do you have to say?"

In his ears, the curtain opened and then closed again. He knew that the old man had gone out, so he returned to his seat and thought about the next conquest of Yunguo Island.

In this regard, Lu Meng also felt the changes in everyone's attitude towards him, and he was very happy in his heart. He drank with them one by one without rejecting them, until he drank the seventh bowl and his whole body felt dizzy.

"I will reassure Your Majesty that I will leave for Yanjing after sending my old friend back to his homeland."

"I had some misunderstandings with Senior Du before, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to meet and resolve them in person."

The second level is naturally to hope that the old man can come to Yanjing to take care of himself and pass on his skills.

These words have two meanings. The first one is to tell him that there is only one of the four great masters left and he should stop doing dangerous things, including being an enemy of the imperial court.

After joking, Su Chen asked people to take Lu Meng down to rest, and explained some things about the barracks. Then he talked with Liang Guyuan in the tent. When he heard that Du Yichu, the master of swordsmanship, died, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course!" everyone said in a booing voice, especially Lu Bu, who had the loudest voice: "If Guan Yunchang doesn't drink with you, a certain family will kidnap him, together with Zhang Yide."

Lu Meng's previous sacrifice of his life had already made the generals accept him in their hearts. He survived the disaster and destroyed the Japanese altar to worship Yaofeng. For such a feat, they naturally wanted to toast him to express their congratulations, which was considered a gesture.

Su Chen was silent for a moment, and then asked someone to take the old man in front of him down to rest. "Tomorrow, I will arrange a ship to take you to Tsushima Island. There are many logistics ships going to and from Wuzhou there. Then the old man can take the ship from Return to Wuzhou from there."

"The four famous masters in the world... now only the old man is left. You should live a good life. If the old man wants to pass on the mantle in the future, you can come to Yanjing and I will open a boxing gym just for you!"

Su Chen closed his eyes and nodded.

"When my old friend passed away, I had no regrets in my heart. I could only entrust him to take him back to his hometown and lay him to rest."

When he reached the tent, Su Chen suddenly stopped him again. Liang Guyuan turned around and raised his hands in confusion.

"Generals, Meng will not drink today. He will save his stomach to drink with Guan Yu another day. Then you can help and persuade me."

The situation there is not clear yet. It is not clear which name it is, what kind of soldiers it has, and what its strength is.

This is an obvious drawback of fighting on islands. Scouts cannot detect very far away like they can on land.

Moreover, although the sea area leading to Yunguo Island on the opposite side is only seven or eight miles away, the depth of the sea area and the reefs need to be explored one by one. Finally, scouts can be sent to the opposite side to investigate.

However, now that Shikoku Island and Tsushima Island serve as outposts and places for injured soldiers to recuperate, the pressure on soldiers and horses fighting on the front line has been much reduced. There are also sea ships around to help transport food and supplies, eliminating the fatigue of carriages and horses during the journey. loss.

Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of fighting against the island can be reflected one by one.

... "There is no way they don't know that Nagano Castle on Shikoku Island has been breached. How will the Japanese on the other side react and what countermeasures will they take?"

Su Chen stayed in the imperial tent and wrote down the next plan one by one, marking the important events. The next step was to wait for Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang and other naval generals to come and join them.

However, the next day, not long after Su Chen got up and was having breakfast in the tent, Wu Zixun hurried over from outside to report.

"A ship ran aground on the rocks?"

Su Chen put down his bowls and chopsticks and walked out of the tent dressed in military uniform. He immediately got on his horse and galloped towards the outside of the military camp. Dian Wei followed closely behind him on his long-haired war elephant. Every step he took was as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling. Stepping on the beach made a slight tremor and a dull sound.

When we arrived at the place where the accident occurred, there was a port built on the beach with more than ten ferry bridges connecting the deep water area. At this time, five cargo ships and three warships were docked there.

Zhou Yu and Gan Ning were giving orders to their soldiers on the dock. When Su Chen came over, the messenger who took the order quickly boarded a nearby warship.

"There are many rocks in this sea area?"

Su Chen watched the warship slowly sail away from the ferry bridge and turned to look at Zhou Yu, who was frowning. The latter nodded hesitantly.

"Maybe, but it shouldn't be in that body of water!"

Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the navy on the river, and sailing on the sea does not take a day or two. There are actually many things in common between the two. He can more or less predict which waters have reefs.

Not to mention that there are soldiers on board who specialize in observing the rocks.

"Could it be that the Japanese on the opposite side are causing trouble for our ship?" Gan Ning crossed his arms, leaned back slightly, opened his mouth and spat outside: "In order to prevent us from landing on Yunguo Island, we have set up a covert in the nearby waters. Zhuang, after all, they are more familiar with this place than we are."

Su Chen agreed, "General Gan is right. The Japanese are indeed more familiar with this area than we are. In order to prevent warships from approaching the coast, it is not impossible to build dozens of hidden piles. First, send small boats to cruise in this area to explore." Waters, see how many you can find.”

"It's a bit time-consuming, and finding them out. If it's too dense and you can't get around it, you have to pull out the hidden piles one by one. It also requires a lot of tools. We don't have them on the boat or in this camp at the moment, so we can only go back to Tsushima Island. .”

Underwater operations are not as simple as later generations, and almost all rely on water sergeants to dive.

But for the sake of safety, Su Chen decided to send a ship back to Tsushima Island. If there was nothing Zhou Yu needed there, then he would do it.

Just waste a little time, it's better than the entire fleet being stuck on the sea.

After returning to the military camp, Su Chen asked Zhou Yu to write down the things he needed and give them to the two unloaded cargo ships that happened to be returning to Tsushima Island, and asked them to bring them to Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu who were staying behind there.

In less than half a day, the letter fell into the hands of the two of them.

"Prime Minister...do you feel anything is wrong?"

Jia Xu is a good person. What he pays attention to is often not what is needed in the letter, but the message behind the letter.

"Liang also noticed it, but he didn't see it thoroughly enough. It's better for the Taiwei to speak first." Zhuge Liang is not as good at analyzing people's hearts as Jia Xu, but he doesn't pretend to understand.

Yuwen Chengdu on the side read the letter over and over again two or three times, but couldn't see anything. "What can be seen in this letter?"

"Haha, the Japanese are obviously trying to trap our three Daxia troops on the other side of the sea by setting up hidden stakes. However, this is just a temporary measure. After all, it is just delaying the landing. The Japanese must understand. Therefore, if they want to solve the problem, The only way to deal with the disaster on the island is to completely eliminate my Daxia troops. As a general, what should you do next?"

Jia Xu smiled and looked at Yuwen Chengdu opposite, who frowned and tapped his fingertips on the table.

"If I were a Japanese general, knowing that I was outmatched, but still fighting head-on, that would be a pig's brain! Since I have laid a hidden stake to trap Daxia..."

Having said this, Yuwen Chengdu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the tapping of his fingertips turned into a slap on the table, "I understand, kill to Tsushima Island, cut off my Daxia supplies, and trap 60,000 soldiers and horses in Shikoku Island !”

Whether it was Zhuge Liang or Jia Xu who nodded and smiled, it was obvious that what Yuwen Chengdu said was exactly what they had seen from the letter.

"But what if it's not?" Although Yuwen Chengdu was a general who commanded the army, he was definitely not as good as these two counselors of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty when it came to intrigues.

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu looked at each other, and he pressed the crane fan.

"If it's not, then it's not."

He then said the same thing as Su Chen, "Only by being careful can you sail the ship of ten thousand years."

The oil lamp flickered, and the dim yellow light illuminated the faces of Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang, gradually giving off an air of conspiracy.
