The cold wind howled, and the dense forest of ancient trees on Kyushu Island made a sound. On the dock, the soldiers of the Chu army discovered that a huge ship was approaching. They all raised their torches, stretched out their bows and nocked arrows, and pointed directly at the hull of the ship.
Tonight.
The generals in charge of the patrol were Ma Chao and Qiu Feng. After receiving the news from the soldiers, he walked out of the tent and quickly came to the dock with weapons in hand.
"General, the giant ship is constantly approaching the dock. The situation on the ship is unclear. Could it be that Fuso enemy soldiers want to make a sneak attack?"
"Sneak attack?"
"When have you ever seen a sneak attack and set the lights and torches on a ship on fire?"
"Instruct all the soldiers to prepare for battle and let the giant ship dock. If there is any abnormal movement, just shoot them all."
Ma Chao's cold voice sounded, and he looked at the approaching ship not far away. The appearance of this huge ship was completely different from the Fuso Empire warship. He concluded that the approaching ship was definitely not the Fuso Empire warship, but why was this huge ship coming?
Intention, he was a little curious.
The giant ship slowly docked, and Ma Chao and Qiu Feng approached with all the soldiers vigilantly. At this time, Bai Qi and the captain appeared in the cabin in everyone's sight.
"Put away all the bows and arrows!"
Ma Chao turned around and gave the order, then stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Why is General Bai on the ship? Is he bringing us food, grass and baggage?"
"That's right, even if I bring you food and grass, I will personally escort you!"
A powerful and powerful voice came from the cabin. Ma Chao and Qiu Feng knelt down and saluted. Seeing this, all the soldiers held weapons in their hands. There was a sound of armors rubbing against each other. There were expressions of surprise on everyone's faces. They did not expect Emperor Chu.
Will come to Kyushu Island late at night without any warning.
"The last generals, Ma Chao and Qiu Feng, respectfully welcome our emperor!"
"The two generals please get up quickly and order the soldiers to move all the supplies on the ships to Kyushu Island."
"Ma Chao, go and inform the military advisor to come and pay the captain's bill!"
The captain was a majestic man. He was completely shocked by the scene in front of him. Zheng He told him that he could easily sell out all the supplies by coming to Kyushu Island. He originally thought that the Emperor of Chu was at most a general in the Chu army.
, but I didn’t expect that he was the king of a country, the Son of Heaven.
"The grassroots people have seen the Emperor of Chu, and the grassroots people are frightened. This ship of supplies is considered a gift from the grassroots people to the Chu army. The grassroots people will take it out and leave."
The captain was so frightened that he made a trembling voice and knelt down on the ground, his figure trembling.
"Captain, there is no need to panic. Our Chu soldiers just need this batch of supplies. The captain has come all the way. How can I let you lose all your money?"
A few moments.
Zhuge Liang came to the dock surrounded by the generals. Everyone came forward to salute. Emperor Chu motioned to the generals to stand behind him. Zhuge Liang stepped forward to settle the payment for the captain, and then left him to rest on Kyushu Island for one night before leaving early tomorrow morning.
After everything was settled, Emperor Chu led his generals to the camp on Jiuzhou Island. The one who was most shocked at the moment was Gan Ning. Along the way, he was surprised by all the Chu generals he encountered.
Gan Ning has always prided himself on being powerful, and when he met Bai Qi and Luo Shixin, he felt ashamed. However, most of the Chu generals he saw now were on par with the two, and some were even more tyrannical than the two.
Li Yuanba, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Ran Min, Yue Fei, the six of them are considered to be the strongest beings around Emperor Chu. The others are slightly inferior, but they are all stronger than Gan Ning.
Because they had gone through hundreds of battles, large and small, and had crawled out from the dead, while Gan Ning was just a fledgling boy who had not yet been tempered by the flames of war. Until this moment, Gan Ning was even more convinced that his choice was correct.
Entering the big tent, Emperor Chu took his seat at the top with a flick of his sleeves. After the hundreds of generals took their seats, he said: "Kong Ming, what are your plans for the next battle in Fusang?"
"Back to the emperor, the imperial city of the Fuso Empire is located on Beihai Island. Kyushu Island is just one of the Fuso Kingdoms. We have already formulated a battle plan to attack Beihai Island and I would like to ask the emperor to review it."
"But now that Wei Chen saw the supplies brought by the emperor, Wei Chen suddenly had a bold idea."
Seeing Zhuge Liang's confident look, Emperor Chu knew that he must be doing something with the supplies. He couldn't help but feel curious and asked.
"If Kong Ming has any good ideas, just tell me!"
"Back to the Emperor, after the generals captured Kyushu Island, I learned from the people of the Fusang Empire that the Fusang Empire had suffered natural and man-made disasters in the past year, and its national strength had suffered a huge impact. Even the cities on the Beihai Island are now in short supply of food and grass.
So Wei Chen wanted to use this giant ship to open the door to the North Sea Island."
"Kong Ming means pretending to be a businessman and sending grain and grass to Beihai Island?"
Hear the sound.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, nodded gently, and said with a faint smile: "That's exactly it."
While talking, Zhuge Liang stood up and placed the map of Hokkaido on the wooden table in front of Emperor Chu, and explained.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of twenty-five cities on Beihai Island. Among them, Heian Capital, the imperial capital of the Fuso Empire, is at the center. The first city we want to capture is Nagawa Castle, which will be the last place to enter Beihai Island.
Great place.”
Looking at the cities marked on the map, Emperor Chu finally understood why the Fusang Empire was called a small land. Only twenty-five cities were equivalent to one county of Chu State.
"Kong Ming, this strategy is indeed bold, but once it succeeds, our army will only be able to capture Beihai Island in a matter of days."
"Which of the generals is willing to go and complete this arduous task?"
Emperor Chu's eyes retracted from the topography map, resting on the generals, and asked in a strong voice.
Hearing the sound, all the generals stood up, raised their fists and saluted, vying to go to Nagawa Castle to complete this task.
But Zhuge Liang suddenly spoke and said: "Your Majesty, we have chosen a minister to go to Nagawa Castle. I hope your Majesty can agree."
"Now that the military advisor has selected the candidates, just give them the order to go!"
Zhuge Liang was worried. All the generals who attacked Kyushu Island would attack Kyushu Island first. He believed that the Fuso Empire had already known about their existence. If this matter was left to them, it would probably be self-defeating.
"Bai Qi, Zilong, Shixin, Yuanba, Gan Ning, and Zheng He listen to the order. The six of you did not participate in the attack on Kyushu Island, so this mission is completed by you."
"Bai Qi is fully responsible, and Zheng He is in charge of the ships. After entering Nagawa Island, wait for the opportunity. The army will approach Nagawa Castle after you enter the city. At that time, the inside and outside should cooperate to capture Nagawa Castle in one fell swoop."
The six people knelt down to receive their orders. Emperor Chu's eyes were full of approval. He thought to himself that Zhuge Liang had thought carefully. Bai Qi and the others were all strangers, so they would have a greater chance of entering Nagawa Castle.
The generals left the tent and went down to prepare. Emperor Chu and Zhuge Liang were still discussing the attack on the Fusang Empire. At this time, in the palaces of the Northern Wei Empire and the Eastern Wu Empire, thousands of miles away, in the brightly lit palace corridors, there was a rush of
The sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the dark night. (To be continued)
