Li Si came to Ohnozawa again, asked his men to shout Ge's name a few times, then set up a table and sat by the lake to wait slowly.
Not long after, a small boat rowed out from the depths of the reed swamp.
"I've seen the special envoy." Seeing that there were no large numbers of officers and soldiers behind Li Si, Ge immediately felt relieved, stepped off the boat, walked up to Li Si, and bowed down to salute.
"Chief Ge, sit down." Li Si pretended not to notice Ge's little move and poured a glass of wine for Ge, "I would like to ask Chief Ge, how many water bandits are there in Onoze now? How many people are there in total?"
"Special envoy, there are three groups of water bandits, totaling about 2,780 people." Ge cupped his fists and said.
"How many people are willing to follow Chief Ge into Zhao?" Li Si asked.
"If the Zhao State can give us a piece of land and household registration, 80% of them will be willing to join Zhao. To be honest with the special envoy, if there is a choice, no one wants to be a bandit. The common people were forced to have no choice at the beginning." Ge said sincerely.
"If the leader joins Zhao, we, the State of Zhao, can grant the leader the title of doctor. If the leader wants to join the army, we can let the leader serve as a five-hundred-man general. At the same time, as long as the leader is not a treacherous and evil person, all of them can forget the blame. If they are willing to join the army, they can go to the navy.
, If you are willing to farm, Zhao will provide you with land and household registration."
Li Si looked at Ge. He took this matter very seriously and rushed over after receiving Zhao Kuo's reply.
"When can we report to the military?" Ge thought for a moment and decided to believe Li Si.
After his inquiries over the past few days, he found out that this King Zhao was indeed different from the previous ones. At least he did not trick the people, he did whatever he said, and all military rewards were given out in full and never withheld.
"There's no rush. You can go before the end of this month. Let me know when you are ready. I will take you there then." A smile suddenly appeared on Li Si's face. Ge replied like this, which meant he agreed.
From now on, his military achievements will be ranked among the top three among the younger generation of Zhao State.
As for the fact that the navy is not at the harbor, it is impossible to tell Ge now.
"The guilty people ask Zhao to take them in." Ge Mengran stood up, took a step back, knelt down on one knee, and said with cupped fists.
"Chief, please wake up quickly."
…
"Rush over, don't stop. Don't turn around. If you do, you'll tip over. You have to rush over."
On the boundless East China Sea, the waves were countless feet high, and the seawater covered the sky and covered the sky. It was impossible to tell where was the sky and where was the bottom of the sea.
The war cloud that had just been propped up was so insignificant in front of the mighty power of heaven and earth, and was torn into pieces in just a few breaths. Yuan Hua roared and commanded the fleet to rush towards the waves.
After returning from Yue, Yuan Hua turned around and headed east in the sea east of the Chu River. He had been walking for several days and had no idea where there was any land nearby.
All the soldiers carefully controlled the ship. There was no land for hundreds of miles. If the warship was capsized by the sea, everyone on board would not survive.
Ou Yeshou also walked out and looked around anxiously, but he was just a shipwright and could do nothing to face this situation.
Without the protection of the war cloud, a warship was soon broken into pieces by the waves, and a hundred soldiers on board disappeared, leaving only broken wood floating in the sea.
"Save them quickly." Yuan Hua said loudly.
"General, it's too late." Deputy General Sun He said with a ferocious expression as he swatted away the fish that fell from the air with the sea water.
At this time, every warship is unable to protect itself, and there is no spare capacity to rescue the soldiers who have fallen into the water.
what to do?
Yuan Hua looked around in despair. There were turbulent seawater everywhere, and there was no place to hide from the wind and waves.
Soon, crackling rainstorms fell from the sky.
"Captain, the bottom of the boat is leaking." A soldier reported urgently.
"Let the shipwright repair it," the captain ordered.
"It's too... too big. It can't be repaired anymore. The shipwright asked you... to make preparations in advance," the soldier said.
If you have prepared early, what else can you do to prepare now?
"No matter how big it is, it must be repaired. If not, everyone will die here!" the captain roared angrily.
The waves are getting bigger and bigger, and in the violent storm, this fleet, which can be said to be the best in the world, is like a dead leaf floating on the sea, constantly being beaten by the sea water, without any struggle.
"General, another ship has sunk."
Yuan Hua's face was so gloomy that he saw it without reporting it to his subordinates.
Except for the warship at his feet, the other warships are only second-generation warships. Although they can sail on the sea, their ability to withstand risks is not strong.
Even his ship seemed a little shaky now, let alone other ships.
boom!
As the main pole was broken by the waves, two more ships slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. These soldiers were the most proficient in water skills in Zhao State. In a hurry, they immediately held the fragments of the warship and swam desperately towards the nearby ships.
to go, but the waves pushed them further and further away.
Everyone knows that in this environment, if you cannot be rescued on the boat, even if you don't drown, you will die of exhaustion sooner or later.
boom!
Another huge wave crashed down, leaving only twelve of Zhao's twenty-two warships.
Yuan Hua stood at the bow of the boat, his face already wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was from sea water or tears.
The cruelty at sea is far greater than that on land. Even if you are defeated on land, you can still escape. At sea... Before you encountered the enemy, just a storm and wave almost wiped out the entire fleet.
Yuan Hua tried his best to prop up Zhan Yun, but the ship was too far away, and the weak Zhan Yun was shattered by the waves as soon as it was propped up.
He waved the trident desperately, and his inner energy spurted out, trying to block the waves, but it was him who was photographed on the deck in the end.
"I haven't really participated in the war yet. I haven't had time to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. I must not die."
"I must find a way to save everyone...talents...as long as talents can be born, there is hope." Yuan Hua's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"But...how can talent be born!"
Although Yuan Hua has relatively good qualifications, he is not among the top few after all. If he works hard and goes through a few battles, the possibility of realizing his talent in the future is still relatively high.
But if you want to understand the talent now, it is tantamount to forcing others to do something difficult.
Another ship sank, leaving only eleven warships...
The soldiers held the wooden planks and rose and fell on the sea. Every time the waves rolled, some soldiers sank to the bottom of the sea forever and could never float again.
Yuan Hua can name every one of these soldiers, and some of them followed him from Yue to Zhao. They vowed to establish meritorious deeds. When Yuan Hua obtained the fief, they all went to Yuan Hua's place and continued to hang out with Yuan Hua.
, the friendship between them has long surpassed the relationship between generals and soldiers.
However, such sincere and familiar faces are disappearing one by one.
Although they did not speak, Yuan Hua seemed to hear voices complaining about himself.
ah!
Yuan Hua roared up to the sky like crazy and rushed towards the waves with all his strength, "If anything comes at me, come at me."
The green inner energy spurted out from Yuan Hua's body like spring water, split into more than a thousand strands in the sky, and fell into every soldier who was still alive. All the soldiers tried their best to stabilize their bodies.
At this moment, the beliefs of the 1,752 soldiers were intertwined with Yuan Hua's beliefs. A series of green brilliance rose from Yuan Hua's body, drew arcs in the sky, and fell into everyone's body.
At the feet of a soldier.
The bodies of all the soldiers rose naturally and fell to the sea, following the ups and downs of the sea. No matter how the waves rolled, no one fell into the sea.
