The first thousand five hundred and eighty-six chapters
Chapter 1586 The wind is rustling and the water is cold
With this reminder in mind, it would be unjustifiable if Yong Kai failed to respond.
"So that's when it was!"
Baratum's words made Yong Kai clear up many doubts at once.
Including why Yi Xiaotian appeared in Gufucheng, and the so-called Duosi who helped Qin Mi and others before, etc.
"That Yi Xiaotian...is one of yours?"
You are referring to Duosi. Yong Kai only wants to ask this last question.
"The gentleman asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, and also brought you a message——"
"Whether it is Meng Huo or King Duosi in the end, King Nanzhong... it cannot be you. As long as Yi Xiaotian is still here, you will never have this idea."
"..."
At this point, there is nothing to explain.
Yong Kai felt as if he suddenly fell into an ice cave. He finally realized that he had been plotted by Yi Xiaotian.
No matter whether this person appears in Nanzhong for any reason, or is being hunted, or has the idea of intervening in the situation in Nanzhong, his arrival is his biggest threat.
The so-called Meng Huo and Duosi are just chess pieces in their chess game.
"Hmph...hahahahahaha..."
"Yi Xiaozhen is really good at making calculations."
"I admit that his previous layout surprised me. Let's just say he has the upper hand in this game."
"But if you think that you can defeat me with these means alone, then you are just talking nonsense."
"Baratum, go back and tell Yi Xiaotian. I don't care how many shocking deeds he has done before, but here in Nanzhong, he cannot be allowed to act recklessly."
"I, Yong Kai, will be the king of Nanzhong!"
——
Things got much simpler after that.
Baratum was not interested in fighting. Although Yong Kai still made a slight attempt to "retain" Baratum, the result was obvious.
Just look at the large number of fallen soldiers on the bow deck. It is really impossible to retain Baratum without 1,800 men.
At the same time, on the other side, the support led by Zhu Bao finally arrived at the area where his ship was being fought, but it was too late.
After completing their goal, Ai Li and others did not stop fighting, leaving only a mess all over the ground for Zhu Bao.
With no choice but to pursue, Zhu Bao could only save the people first with resentment in his heart. But even if he saved the people, he would not be able to make up for the losses much. It was impossible to rebuild the lost ship in a short time.
This ambush caused the powerful navy, which originally had thousands of people and hundreds of ships, to lose 30% of its combat power in an instant. Ai Li and others definitely overfulfilled their mission.
In the evening, Yong Kai, who was temporarily docked by the river, received a report of battle damage. He was so angry that he crushed the tea bowl in his hand and unfortunately cut his own hand.
"It's really despicable. This Yi Xiaotian is really despicable and shameless!"
Yong Kai roared hysterically and incompetently, so that the surrounding soldiers did not dare to interrupt at will.
Zhu Bao sat across the table with his head downcast. He was exhausted from rescuing the wounded on the river earlier, let alone trying to think of a way to counter Yi Xiaotian.
"Haha... declare war, right?
I must make this Yi Xiaotian regret the decision he made today."
Yong Kai banged the table and said fiercely, don't fall into deep thought soon.
Not long after, there was a rush of horse hooves in the distance - the cavalry chasing the enemy was back.
The man dismounted, came to Yong Kai timidly, and said tremblingly:
"Sir... the enemy ran too fast, we... failed to catch up... please punish me, sir."
The mission failed, and Yong Kai was angry again. He thought his life could not be saved.
Unexpectedly, I turned around and saw Yong Kai showing an evil smile.
He was stunned, looking at Yong Kai blankly, waiting for Yong Kai's instructions, and then listened:
"Hmph, it's to be expected. Since they have been plotting against me for so long, they must have planned their escape route long ago. It's not your fault. If you can't catch me, don't chase me."
"Yes...yes! Many...thank you, sir!"
The cavalrymen burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly to show their loyalty.
But Zhu Bao, who was across the table, looked at Yong Kai's expression and had a vague guess:
"Master Yong...do you already have a countermeasure?"
"Countermeasures... haha... should I say countermeasures? Hahaha... Mr. Zhu knows me well!"
"I do have a way to deal with it, but as far as I am concerned, this is just a mediocre one among thousands of ways."
"But for Yi Xiaotian and the others, this may be a disaster, haha...hahahaha!"
Yong Kai suddenly laughed loudly, making people around him confused.
Why was it that you were so angry just now that you couldn't express your anger, but now you are frightened by your armor?
If he is not crazy, then he has really found a solution...

However, these things are still unknown to Yi Xiaotian and others.
Gufucheng…
Different from Gufucheng on weekdays, today's Gufucheng is filled with a chilling atmosphere.
The reason is simple - Meng Huo is about to lead his elite soldiers out of the city to attack Gaoding's army.
Before that, everyone made full preparations, including the equipment and horses, which were confirmed again and again.
During this period, Yi Xiaotian was not idle. After obtaining the permission of Meng Huo and Zhu Ronghuan, Yi Xiaotian, who claimed to be the commander-in-chief of the army, besides organizing the current Meng Huo army in a more reasonable manner,
In just one day, the small number of cavalrymen of Meng Huo's army were equipped with horseshoes, stirrups and other equipment.
These things are naturally novel gadgets for the remote barbarians, but in fact, for several princely forces in the Central Plains, they are standard equipment that have been widely used in the army.
Yi Xiaotian equipped them with these, purely for technical poverty alleviation - of course, because there are no accompanying craftsmen, Yi Xiaotian's efficiency is limited - fortunately, most of the cavalry in Meng Huo's army are not mounted
For war horses, only a small number of elites need horseshoes and stirrups. Otherwise, they would be exhausted from just being a temporary blacksmith for a day.
Moreover, Yi Xiaotian also confirmed with Meng Huo that whether it was Gaoding or Yongkai's army, it seemed that because they had been isolated from the Central Plains for many years, their equipment was ahead of the barbarians, but it was not as advanced as the equipment of Wei's elite.
To a certain extent, at least horseshoes were equipment they did not have. In this way, Yi Xiaotian would have a good idea of the mobility of the enemy's cavalry units.
The wind rustles and the water becomes cold, and a strong man will never return once he is gone.
Standing on the city wall, looking at Meng Huo and others who were preparing to go out in the outer wall, Yi Xiaotian was quite interested in reciting a poem, but after thinking about it, it seemed a little unlucky, so he suppressed his temper for the time being.
Meng Huo was making the final mobilization of his troops. Although Yi Xiaotian didn't say it clearly, as a vanguard to fight against the unsteady enemy, the team led by Meng Huo was not much different from a death squad.
It is destined that many of these people will not see the sunrise tomorrow, so in this case, Yi Xiaotian left the encouragement and mobilization to Meng Huo, who was more qualified to lecture.
At the same time, listening to the wind behind him, Yi Xiaotian faintly noticed some faint noises.
