On the fine beach outside Weijia Village, the county magistrate Wang Mengcai was pacing back and forth anxiously on the sand. Suddenly, a government servant standing on the rocks became excited, pointed at the sea in the distance and shouted.
"Back?"
When Wang Mengcai heard this, he was suddenly shocked and quickly stopped and looked towards the sea!
Sure enough, in the distance between the sea and the sky! There are some black spots slowly emerging.
Maybe because of the distance, they still can't see clearly the specific appearance of these black spots! But Wang Mengcai only took two glances and was absolutely sure: those were 100% the ships of the Tang Navy!
You want to ask why Wang Mengcai is so sure? In fact, he can't explain why. Maybe this is the blind confidence he has developed in Xiao Han during the time he was with Xiao Han.
At this moment, it is already evening.
The setting sun in the sky was like blood, and the entire sea surface it illuminated turned red.
And in this seemingly endless sea of blood, naval battleships cut through the waves like an invincible force and sailed towards this side in a mighty manner.
Seeing such a scene, even though Wang Mengcai wanted to maintain his dignity as a county magistrate, his body was still trembling with excitement!
"Ah! Look, sir! Behind them, there seems to be another ship towing, like, it looks like a Goguryeo ship!"
"Really! It's a Goguryeo ship! I recognize their flag!"
"Oh my God! Lord Marquis and the others have only been out for a long time, and yet they defeated someone? They even dragged their boat back!"
Gradually, as the fleet got closer and closer, more people rushed to the beach, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the fleet in the distance. Some sharp-eyed people also discovered something was wrong with this fleet.
It seems that in addition to the unified navy warships on the sea, there are about a dozen other large ships behind them, either new or old, complete or broken.
Some people with good eyesight can recognize at a glance through the flags on the masts of the big ships that they are none other than the Goguryeo warships opposite!
When word spread about this sudden discovery, it immediately caused an uproar among the crowd!
Although, many of them have already seen the majesty of the Tang Dynasty Navy fleet in advance.
But they never thought that this fleet would be so ridiculously powerful! How long would it take to go out to sea for just a moment and come back with a boat full of sticks?
You must know that in the past, those stick boats often came to the area to show off their power. As for plundering fishing boats, it was common for them to go ashore and rob them!
But at that time, they couldn't do anything besides being itchy with hatred.
It's better now! Mr. Hou helped them vent their anger!
Looking at those arrogant warships in the past, they are now like dogs that have fallen into the water, being led back by their own fleet!
Almost all the people rushed to the beach excitedly, waving to the fleet and jumping wildly.
"Hahaha! I am truly amazing. Not only am I the best in land battles, but I am also victorious in naval battles!"
On the flagship of the fleet, Liu Hongji looked at the excited people on the beach from a distance. He immediately opened his mouth in joy and kept patting his chest and boasting.
"What the hell is the best in the world in land warfare?"
Xiao Han was standing next to Liu Hongji at this moment. After hearing this, he looked at him as if he were looking at the idiot next door.
I thought to myself: Is it possible that this guy was infected by these sticks? He always thinks that he is the best in the universe?
If this word is spread back to Chang'an, let alone Li Jing, will Li Ji deal with him? Even Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao will probably come to visit him. Let's "have a good" discussion with Lao Liu about this world-number one problem.
Also, what does he say about being victorious in water battles? Where does this come from? It’s all about planning, but there are only two water battles? And in both of them, more people win than less people. Is this worth talking about?
Of course, Xiao Han would never say these words.
After all, I don’t know how much water there is in Lao Liu, the world’s number one and ever-victorious general, but it’s more than enough to teach him to take care of himself.
"Ahem, Xiao Han, we will dock in a while, how should we arrange these people?"
It was obvious that Luo Shixin was not interested in Liu Hongji's boasting, but he was also too lazy to be familiar with this scoundrel, so he only coughed lightly, frowned and asked Xiao Han about the next arrangements.
When they came back this time, in addition to bringing back all the captured Goguryeo people, they also brought back all the Goguryeo warships that had not sunk directly.
In Xiao Han's words, even if these boats are sold for broken wooden boards, they can still be sold for two yuan, which is better than letting them sink directly to the bottom of the water.
However, the only exception here is that as the top commander of the Goguryeo fleet, Park Yisheng of the Park family was named by Zhang to leave.
After bandaging his wounds, Zhang Liang didn't want anything else, not even the trophies, he just wanted Park Yisheng!
Similarly, he did not follow Xiao Han back to Weijiacun. Instead, after reaching the offshore, he took his four warships to Dengzhou.
Seeing Zhang Liang's gloomy look when he said goodbye, Xiao Han roughly guessed what he wanted to do.
But he knew it, but Xiao Han didn't persuade him.
He also knew that even if he tried to persuade him, it would be of no use!
In this battle, most of Zhang Liang's men were killed or injured! Although he and Luo Shixin arrived in the end and turned the battle around, for Zhang Liang, this was still a great shame and humiliation!
If you want to wash away this shame, there is no other way except using the blood of the enemy! Therefore, Zhang Liang will definitely go to Goguryeo to exact revenge!
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to be a general!
At that time, Luo Shixin was also the one who saw this.
For this reason, General Xiao Luo secretly asked Xiao Han, could this be done? No one in the court would impeach Zhang Liang? The emperor would not be angry because he started war?
Xiao Han's answer to these questions was a meaningful sigh.
Impeachment? There is no doubt that it will be impeachment!
Angry? No need to ask, I will definitely be angry!
But how much genuine is the impeachment and outrage here? How much is fake? It’s hard to say!
Because after today's battle, Datang and Goguryeo were completely at odds with each other!
According to Xiao Han, if this is the case, then no one has anything to worry about!
You can't just allow these little sticks to run around on your own territory and jump over and over again!
But the Tang people are not allowed to go to their territory to avenge themselves, right?
Things are two-way. Even the ancients once said: "If you are in the first grade of junior high school, then I will be in the fifteenth grade! No one of us needs to be good..."
"It's just a pity that there is not enough time now! The destined battle will probably not be fought now!"
