The next morning, Zhuang Yong cleaned up and took his personal soldiers to Hulushan southwest of Yanping Island. The exercise tactics that had been formulated will naturally not be changed easily. According to the plan, Bai Shangnian was responsible for taking charge of the central army and commanding the combat troops to set up defenses on Yanping Island.

Nearly 20,000 troops are on Yanping Island, and Chen Leng's chance of winning by surprise is almost zero. Fortunately, both sides knew that the real confrontation was not in drills. Only the soldiers were preparing for the war seriously, and they could reach higher-level people's hearts. They just waited for the damn people to die after this battle and the people who should be promoted to the throne.

When Zhuang Yong was just halfway, he received a message from Bai Shangnian who said that General Bai's condition had worsened sharply last night and had already started vomiting blood. Before dawn, the personal soldiers took General Bai onto a boat to seek medical treatment without saying anything.

Zhuang Yong just nodded and had no reaction, and he still wanted to laugh.

At the civil servant camp, Dou Huainan, the chief clerk of the navy, rushed back from outside. When he entered the door, he found water and drank two glasses in a row before he could slow down: "Zhuang Yong has already set off. After one stick of incense, he can reach the foot of Hulu Mountain."

"A stick of incense?"

Zhang Baihe paced back and forth in the room and suddenly stopped: "Let me kill you now."

"What?"

Dou Huainan's face suddenly changed: "According to the plan, we should wait until Zhuang Yong climbed the mountain before launching an attack."

“No need.”

Zhang Baihe waved and shouted in to the people guarding outside: "You are all General Bai's confidants. Today's battle is not only about your personal life and death, but also about the general's honor and disgrace. If the water bandits outside make good use of it today, today is the beginning of your success. If something goes wrong next year, today will be my and you'll die. I'm afraid there will be no one in front of the grave to pay tribute."

His voice gradually became excited: "Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have never been afraid of sacrifice. The more dangerous the situation, the greater the harvest. You are in the forefront today. In the future, the general is also in the forefront. I will pass by the future of seeking fame and fortune in danger. Now I will blow the horns and let the water bandits rush to the foot of the mountain to intercept Zhuang Yong."

One of them asked, "How can those water bandits believe it?"

Zhang Baihe said: "I'll do it."

He walked out quickly and saw a gong hanging at the door, picking it off and ringing. Soon, many water bandits gathered around.

Zhang Baihe looked angry, and he didn't know how this expression came. He climbed to a high place and first pressed his hands to signal the crowd to calm down, then suddenly cried and burst into tears. The water bandits were startled and discussed and didn't know what was going on.

"I'm sorry to everyone!"

Zhang Baihe suddenly raised his head, his face full of sadness: "I'm sorry to everyone. I thought I could take everyone to the Yangguan Avenue without having to live the day of hiding around and hiding all day long. After putting on military uniforms and being an official, I didn't expect that I was cheated, and I didn't expect that the navy admiral Zhuang Yong was such a ruthless person!"

"It's him!"

Zhang Baihe raised his hand and pointed to Hulushan: "Last night he said he wanted to invite all the leaders to drink and discuss the inclusion matters. He also vowed to arrange military positions for all the leaders in advance. They were all generals. As a result, all the leaders were happy to attend the banquet, but they were ambushed at the banquet. Zhuang Yong, a traitor who was treacherous, we should avenge the leaders. Everyone likes Zhuang Yong to kill him!"

His sorrow turned into firmness and fighting spirit: "We can't just sit and wait for death. I know that Zhuang Yong just arrived at the foot of Hulu Mountain at this time to plan to encircle us. Now is our last chance. Let's go to Hulu Mountain with me to kill Zhuang Yong's sword and kill him to avenge your boss. Then we will directly go out of Yanping Island. Although I am an official of the court, I have also rebelled with you today. Avenge your boss!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

The crowd suddenly became boiling, and Zhang Baihe stood on the high ground and shouted loudly: "Kill me, it's time to take revenge!"

He jumped down from a high place, and the crowd immediately rushed toward the bottom of Hulu Mountain like a tide. After Zhang Baihe jumped down, he turned around and hid behind the house along the corner of the wall. After the crowd rushed out of the gate, he came back and told Bai Shangnian's men: "Someone needs to lead the team. You rush to the front. As long as they see someone dare to take action, they will follow. Today's battle depends entirely on you. I'm going to see General Bai grab the naval warship. After you succeed, you will immediately go to Hulu Mountain to hide temporarily. Soon after the general's elite troops will defeat these water bandits. You will come out after the war is calmed down to avoid hurting the innocent."

The men responded and pulled out their knives to catch up with the water bandits.

Zhang Baihe looked back and found that Dou Huainan was missing. He cursed softly and then quickly left. How dare he find Bai Shangnian? Based on his speculation, Bai Shangnian was no longer on Yanping Island at this time. The old fox wanted to throw things away completely. Zhang Baihe didn't believe that he could get out in the end.

Only when Dou Huainan and him were both dead, Bai Shangnian arranged for water bandits to enter Yanping Island would not be leaked, and the dead could keep their mouths shut.

Zhang Baihe ran to the shore in one breath. In a very dense grass, he hid a small boat with tree branches and weeds. Not only did he prepare knives and salutes, but he also prepared some food. This person's scheming is evident.

"I want me to be the stepping stone on your way to advance, and I think of it beautifully."

Zhang Baihe rowed the boat and left. He was studying and practicing martial arts at Yanta Academy. Although martial arts sounded ordinary, his physical strength was not bad. His arms swayed, and the boat quickly rushed towards the opposite shore.

On the other side of Yanping Island, a large ship left the shore and headed towards the Nanping River.

Bai Shangnian stood at the bow of the bow and smiled. He knew that things had come to this point and it was a short distance from success. He had nothing to do with leaving. In order to facilitate His Majesty to ask for a good answer in the future, leaving here is naturally a better choice. At that time, he would only ask three questions. What else can His Majesty be able to do? At worst, he would be dismissed from office. When the overall situation is decided, His Majesty is not His Majesty. The new emperor ascended the throne and was a general. Now he still cares about these many things.

He was not worried that the prince would cross the river and demolish the bridge after he ascended the throne and ascended the great treasure for the first time. If the supporter of the new emperor was only Mu Zhaotong, he would still not be able to sit steadily. Without the support of the military, who would know how many days he could sit on that chair? Don’t forget that the poor prince Li Xiaoran of the past ran all the way to Chang'an City, but was he stopped by the nine thousand swords and soldiers and could not enter the city.

Without the support of the Bai family, the power of the prince will be greatly reduced, and even the clans of the rear dare not be so arrogant. However, he has been in charge of Yizi Camp for many years, and he can command it with just a change of person?

Thinking of this, Bai Shangnian was in a much better mood. The old fox Zhuang Yong seemed to notice it slightly, but since Hulushan had taken action, there would be no surprises, because...

Bai Shangnian curled his lips. Zhang Baihe was a smart person, but he never thought that the one who really hit Zhuang Yong with a fatal blow was naturally not those incompetent water bandits, but a group of mobs. Those water bandits were just gimmicks.

"You only have people installed in my Yizi Camp?"

Bai Shangnian sneered and then ordered: "Hurry up and leave this ghost place as soon as possible."

The subordinates responded and urged the boatman, and seemed to hear the shouts of killing. Of course, this was just an illusion. How could they hear the sound of Hulu Mountain on the other side of Yanping Island?

At the foot of Hulu Mountain, Zhuang Yong was already trapped. The water bandits coming from all over the mountains and fields all had their eyes red. No one doubted whether the head of the family was killed by Zhuang Yong. They only knew that if they did not resist at this time, they might be left at the mercy of others. These people were bandits, and they would not blink. If everyone had not received the money and everyone had promised, they would rather continue to be water bandits and be free and easy.

When Zhang Baihe persuaded them that the navy's determination to suppress the bandits was unshakable. Now His Majesty has issued a strict order to completely eliminate the bandits on the Grand Canal on the Nanping River within a specified period. These people were scared after hearing this, and Zhang Baihe seemed to have opened a door for them. Behind the door was a golden road, which naturally everyone was happy.

However, all of this was destroyed just now. When the head of the family was killed, the navy would eventually kill them. The fierce aura of these people was full of murderous intentions. The hatred towards the navy and the officials of Daning was raised to the extreme.

"Protect the Admiral!"

Zhuang Yong's personal soldiers were shouting loudly, and hundreds of personal soldiers immediately lined up, their shields were raised, their crossbows were pulled apart, and their long swords were unsheathed, the three-layer defensive formation was completed in the shortest time. Although the number of people was small, the formation looked as stable as a mountain.

The water bandits waved their weapons to approach, twisting like monsters.

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed over from the other side and stumbled. He ran to a distance and shouted loudly: "General, go quickly, go quickly!"

Zhuang Yong looked out and saw that it was Dou Huainan, the chief clerk of the navy who supervised the project on Yanping Island. The man who ran like a duck in a civilized official uniform looked a little disgusted, but at this time he actually had some courage to rush over.

The two personal soldiers looked at each other and then opened a gap in the defensive formation. Dou Huainan rushed in panting, bent over and gasped in the big mouthful, and his lungs were almost blown up.

"General, be careful."

Dou Huainan raised his head and said.

Zhuang Yong reached out to help him: "Why are you careful?"

Dou Huainan took out a dagger from his cuff: "Be careful that someone is going to attack you!"

At the same time, on the Taihu Lake, the big ship that Bai Shangnian was riding was far away from Yanping Island, not far from entering Nanping River, and it was only half an hour before entering Nanping River.

Bai Shangnian was in a better mood. He took a deep breath in the lake breeze, opened his arms, and felt that his body was particularly transparent and comfortable.

At this moment, footsteps and ticking soft sounds came from behind him. He turned around and saw a guy in white walking up from the cabin with a black iron rod in his hand. The iron rod was still dripping blood, and the sounds made on the deck seemed harsh.
