After Han Meier finished speaking, there was nothing in the whole hospital except the sound of children slurping porridge.
"I see."
After a long silence, Qi Zeguang just said this, then he lowered his head and drank the porridge water, but as he drank, he began to shed tears again, and the tears kept falling into the bowl.
The dull and helpless feeling that had been suppressed in my heart for many days was completely poured out at this moment.
The spring breeze was blowing through the alley outside the hospital, but he just kept crying silently. If the child hadn't been here, he would have really wanted to cry.
Now that 100,000 Japanese troops have entered the country, all the main forces of the Jiangnan Army have withdrawn, leaving only 20,000 people to defend the siege. He is not Chen Mu. He has unique luck and brains. He just comes from a small place.
Man.
One thing after another, the pressure was really too much for him.
As for Han Mei'er, she was just looking at Qi Zeguang, who was burying his head, and there was still no big fluctuation in that alluring face.
Even if no one believes it, even if her husband starts to feel timid, she must give him courage and confidence. Even if there are many obstacles ahead, what's the problem?
Only in this way can one day he can truly grow up and become the famous general he talked about when he was young, Qi Zeguang.
Thinking about how energetic he was just after entering Jiangnan.
After dinner, Qi Zeguang packed up his mood and went out. As for Han Meier, she stood quietly in front of the door and watched him leave. He was just a woman with little ability. It was a peasant woman who didn't even know a word, so she couldn't help him.
My husband is nothing but a word of encouragement and support.
Of course, for Qi Zeguang at this time, his wife's words were more valuable than anything else.
Thinking about the bloody battle in Monan back then, how could we be afraid of these overseas Japanese pirates now? What a joke!
But at this time, in the Yangtze River Basin, the ships of Chen Mu and his party were still heading towards Yingtian.
During this period, scouts kept coming back to report, and now Chen Mu was also quite worried about the war in Yingtian. This woman, Oda Guishuo, had secretly learned all his gunpowder skills.
The enemies that the Jiangnan Army faces now are just like the Tatars in Mobei facing them. They are crushed by technology and really have no power to fight back.
Chen Mu had been sitting on the boat deck looking at the geographical drawings of the entire south.
Now Japan's 100,000 troops are like a sharp sword, rushing in directly from Suzhou City. Logically speaking, they should take Yingtian, the core center of the south.
But I don't know if it's true, but Chen Mu always feels that it's not that simple. A thoughtful person like Oda Guishuo, who mobilizes so many troops to attack the Jiangnan area, always feels that it's not as simple as it seems.
But after looking at the map and thinking about it for several days, Chen Mu never figured it out, because judging from the current situation, taking Suzhou and then attacking Yingtian is the best strategic policy.
As for Zhang Bowen, who has always been by Chen Mu's side, he is now standing beside Chen Mu, looking at the river in the distance. He is about the same age as Chen Mu, but his eyes are much deeper than Chen Mu's, which is difficult to figure out.
At the next moment, Zhang Bowen suddenly shouted: "Brother Chen, the scout is here again."
On the river, a ship was heading this way.
Chen Mu stood up slowly. After the scout got on the boat, he saw him reporting in a hurry: "Your Majesty! There is a large group of Jiangnan military ships in front of us, crossing the river! It seems to be the Jiangnan Army guarding the coast!"
After hearing this, Chen Mu, Han Xiner, and Zhang Bowen all looked startled.
Han Xiner on the side was the first to ask: "Shouldn't the Jiangnan Army be in Yingtian City? Why did they escape?"
The scout in front of him shook his head: "I don't know. We are still a few miles away from our fleet."
Then Zhang Bowen asked: "How many people?"
The scout pondered for a moment and then replied: "The entire river is full of their ships, stretching as far as the eye can see... I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of them!"
Hearing this, the three of them were confused. How many people were there on the entire Jiangnan coast? There were only 100,000 people, but most of them crossed the river here and headed north. What on earth is going on?
"Brother Chen, is it possible that the front line has been defeated? Are these Jiangnan troops preparing to flee north?"
Chen Mu stayed silent for a long time, waved his hand, and just said: "No, if the front line is really defeated and they haven't come here yet, I should have harvested the front line battle report. Stop talking so much and move forward.
Just ask and you’ll find out.”
Although Chen Mu didn't have much expression on his face, he was still a little uneasy inside.
Nanjing in the previous life and Yingtian in this life were both invaded by Japanese pirates. There were more than 100,000 troops in Jiangnan. Even though they had little combat power, as long as they were willing to defend, the Japanese pirates would definitely not be able to enter Yingtian City in a short time.
As long as he arrives in time, Yingtian's danger will be resolved.
But be afraid, this army is weak to the core, and before the war can begin, it will cowardly leave the people in the entire south and run away.
Since I am here in this life, I will not allow that tragic massacre to happen again.
Not far away, Chen Mu soon saw a large number of ships and troops ahead.
There were at least a thousand large ships, stretching endlessly on the river. Seeing this scene, Chen Mu knew that all the Jiangnan troops were probably withdrawing.
"These cowardly bastards!"
Chen Mu scolded angrily, and the next moment he called for someone to bring the boat closer: "Bring the boat closer to me!"
"Who are you?"
Soon, he saw a Jiangnan warship approaching, and the one who came to greet him was just a military general. Chen Mu glared at him, and was too lazy to talk to him calmly. He pointed at his nose and started to curse angrily.
"My name is Chen Mu, tell your Sima to get out and talk to me again!"
When the lieutenant heard that it was Chen Mu, his neck instantly shrank. Now that things have happened, as a soldier and a general, who has never heard of Chen Mu's name!
"Yes...yes."
He gave up timidly and hurriedly sailed back.
The army was still rushing to the shore, and now half of the army was on board. Chen Mu looked at these people and felt that they were so useless!
As a soldier, he doesn't think about protecting his family and country. Now when there is a war, he just wants to escape. He is really worth tens of thousands of idiots.
Soon, a more magnificent ship slowly approached.
Chen Mu had only heard of Sima Li Conghou from the Jiangnan coastal area. Now that he saw him, he looked like a straw bag. He had a swollen face and a bloated body, and had no commanding aura at all.
"What's going on with you guys? Have the Japanese pirates been beaten back? Are you just pushing towards Jiangbei?"
Chen Mu kept asking questions in a deep voice. As for Li Conghou, he stared at Chen Mu for a long time, then smiled and said: "I was ordered by the emperor to withdraw to the north to defend the dynasty. Chen Mu, you are in a high position now, but you are not overstepping the imperial authority, right?
"
Seeing this fat face who had left millions of people behind but was now completely shameless, Chen Mu felt extremely angry for a moment.
I saw Chen Mu sneer and said: "Imperial power? Fatty, I just want to warn you now, take your sergeants back with me to fight the enemy!"
