The fire mentioned here does not refer to one of the five elements, but to the seven emotions and desires.
People are about to leave, how can they not pay the public food?
Relying on the fair principle of equal exposure to rain and dew, Qi Dalang achieved the first technological breakthrough in his life - knocking on the doors of two ladies one after another.
Moreover, time is not biased, and it looks like a bowl of water is even.
Afterwards, Qi Dalang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: It has been said that people feel refreshed when happy events happen, but I didn't expect that this sense of refreshment would become lasting!
It seems that my ‘big sword’ has no signs of rust!
The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
It really comes from experience!
However, when the happiness wore off, Qi Yu couldn't help but become melancholy again.
This time we are heading north, there are so many variables that it is impossible to predict. Naturally, there is no way to determine the return date.
So before parting, Qi Dalang felt very attached to his family.
But the family members were just the opposite and didn't show much concern.
There is a reason for this.
Since the beginning of the imperial examination era, he has been traveling here and there, and after entering the official career, he has been fighting in the north and south on a regular basis.
Over time, the family members became accustomed to it.
In fact, it is human nature for Qi Dalang to stick to his family.
With such a pair of twin children at home, what father can't help but worry about them?
It's weird not to think about it.
Yin Tao comforted him and said: There are enough people at home, and we have enough food and clothing, so there is really no need to worry about the little boy.
You, just go with peace of mind.
Well……
Liu Quan also persuaded him: "The family and the children are filial and healthy. How worried are you?"
Besides, there is no one named Wang next door to our house, so why are you worried about any thieves?
That's true!
So, then go on your way with peace of mind!
The wind is rustling and the water is cold. Once a strong man leaves, he will return soon.
…
On this day, the east became slightly white, and Qi Yu, Xiaotong and his entourage left home.
Just like in the past, all the family members stood outside the gate and watched him leave.
Qi Dalang stared at them affectionately for a moment, then teased the two babies who were sleeping soundly in the adults' arms, and then left with a ruthless look.
The whole journey was silent.
Soon, the group arrived at Qiongzhou Pier.
When he looked up, he saw that four battleships and two transport ships had been waiting there for a long time.
The accompanying Shi brothers didn't think much when they saw this. Instead, they ran to the ship curiously and looked left and right.
Huang Fei, on the other hand, frowned worriedly.
Finally, he couldn't help but find Qi Yu and inquire about this matter.
"Master Qi, since you have to do something confidential, why do you only bring so few troops?"
"Hey, I also want to bring more troops there, but reality doesn't allow it!"
"This... why?"
"Let me explain..."
Qi Yu stroked his beard and said: "Our trip to the north this time is just a gimmick to see off the bride from thousands of miles away, not a military expedition. Therefore, it is not appropriate to mobilize too many troops. Otherwise, it will arouse the vigilance of the King of Korea."
Huang Fei nodded and asked again: "Then, how many people have you arranged on these six ships?"
"If we give it a try, we'll only get a thousand people."
"What? That's it?"
"In my opinion, this is enough!"
Enough?
You're not joking, are you?
Although Goryeo's territory is small and its population is sparse, it cannot be suppressed by a thousand soldiers!
If we don’t talk about it too far, let’s talk about the emperor’s eastern expedition.
He failed to conquer the enemy with hundreds of thousands of troops. How could you withstand a mere thousand people?
The disparity is like clouds and mud and cannot be compared.
So, Huang Fei shook his head and said: "Master Qi, Huang admits that you are a god in using soldiers, especially good at using less to defeat large numbers. However, Goryeo is also an old kingdom, and it is brave and good at fighting. How can you control it at will with such a small number of troops?
"
Qi Yu smiled happily and said: "These soldiers are for rescuing His Majesty, not for fighting. They have only one mission, which is to assist my plan to rescue the Emperor. As for killing the enemy, it is not theirs."
That’s where the mission lies.”
"But if we encounter a dangerous encounter, how should you block it?" Huang Fei continued to ask on this topic.
"Brother Huang, don't be anxious, please listen to me elaborate further." Qi Yu pressed his hands and said calmly.
Next, Qi Yu shared his initial thoughts.
According to him, these six ships of his are the most extraordinary of all extraordinary forces, designed to win by surprise.
Therefore, they will never start a head-on battle with Goryeo's main force.
After completing the task, he immediately set sail and used his speed to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.
Facing the latest steam engine ships in Qiongzhou, Goryeo's turtle ships were far behind.
In other words, there is basically no risk of getting out intact.
As for the so-called 'encounter on a narrow road', Qi Yu wasn't too worried. Even if he did, it would be someone else who would do it for him.
Although he has few soldiers, it does not mean that he has no soldiers to use. Isn't the Northern Expedition army in Qi Jing's hand just a ready-made sharp butcher's knife?
Due to my strong relationship with him, I will never stand by and give no support when dealing with emergencies.
In this case, why do you need to bring more people?
"Yes, why did I forget about the Mobei Army? The imperial court can't move him, but that doesn't mean you can't do it, Mr. Qi!"
"It can't be said that it was me who mobilized. At most, it can only be regarded as taking advantage of the situation."
This power of yours is quite hidden!
Without in-depth analysis, it is difficult to discover potential connections.
At this moment, the Shi brothers suddenly came over in surprise and asked, "Master Qi, why are you bringing so many hot air balloons on board? Could it be that you want to go on a high-altitude sightseeing tour in the Mobei area?"
Qi Yu laughed and explained: "Recently, I have formed a new special force that is good at performing special tasks, and these hot air balloons are one of their important equipment."
Special forces?
What the hell is this?
Not only the Shi brothers, but also Huang Fei looked confused after hearing this.
However, Qi Yu did not give a detailed introduction to this. He only said that he would know it at a glance in the future.
Not explaining anything is not only due to the need for confidentiality, but also because even if you explain it, they may not be able to understand it.
Emerging things always require a cognitive process. Only when you see them with your own eyes can you truly understand them.
Okay, let’s get back to the present.
Qi Yu looked at the rising sun and said, "Hang up the lantern, hang up the red silk, then turn on the power and set sail..."
"In addition, let's fire some more wedding cannons to increase our prestige. I want everyone in Qiongzhou to know that our farewell procession has set off."
