After the imperial decree was announced, Jin Yiwei didn't see Lu Yi, so he stayed for a while, patted Yu Dayou's shoulder, and politely said two words to himself, turned around and got back on his horse, and left soon.
"General..."
Xiangzi saw the general standing still for a while, and asked carefully.
Yu Dayou clenched the imperial decree tightly, rubbed his forehead with a headache, and ordered: "Call everyone, all the guerrilla generals and above!"
"As ordered!"
Xiangzi quickly went to code people.
"From the commander and below, all of them will be dismissed and investigated..." Cen Fu gasped, "It seems that the sage is really annoyed."
Lu Yi sighed secretly: "Now you should understand why Governor Hu suggested that I come to Cengang?"
Cen Fu thought for a while: "He already knew that the battle of Cen Gang had dragged on for too long, and there were so many people who attacked the central government, and the saint was impatient. He asked you to come here, eldest son, just to prove that there was a reason why Cen Gang could not be captured. It's not because of his fornication with Japanese pirates. Does he want us to speak well for him?"
"It's one layer, but there's another layer..." Lu Yi said softly, "The sage is so annoyed that we can't calm down with just a few words. If Cen Gang can't attack, someone has to take the blame..."
Hearing this, Cen Fu was stunned, suddenly realized, and said in a low voice: "Yu Dayou is not good at socializing and socializing, and since the war is tight right now, he is very likely to offend us, and he is the best person to take the blame."
Lu Yi sighed lightly: "This is officialdom. Although Yu Dayou is a good general, compared with Hu Zongxian's own black yarn and life, it is naturally nothing."
At this time, Yu Dayou, who happened to be holding the yellow cloth in his hand, turned around and saw Lu Yi from a distance. Although his face was expressionless, there was an undisguised boredom in his eyes for this Jin Yiwei, who had made it clear that he was the supervisor.
"I want to see Cen Gang from the sea, I wonder if the general can easily send a boat?" Lu Yi walked slowly to him, pretending he didn't know anything, smiled and said, "Of course, it would be better if the general could accompany him. ."
Yu Dayou, who had just received the decree, couldn't even squeeze out a polite smile. He said: "I'm going to have a meeting soon, and Lu Yu is going to sea. I will send a boat to let Xiangzi go with you."
"Thank you, General." Lu Yi didn't force it.
Yu Dayou nodded slightly and was about to leave when he suddenly turned his head back and said, "There are many thieves at sea, please take care of Lu Yan... Don't bother me!"
"General has been thinking too much." Lu Yi smiled lightly.
Yu Dayou turned around abruptly and walked away with great strides.
Cen Fu was really annoyed: "What do you mean don't make me wait?!"
"For the best, at least General Yu speaks very directly, we don't have to guess what he is thinking." Lu Yi patted Cen Fu on the shoulder.
"Eldest son, what do you think?"
"The battle is not over yet, so let's put aside the affairs of the officialdom for the time being."
Lu Yi said lightly.
Standing at the gate of the camp and waiting for a long time, Lu Yi and Cen Fu waited for Xiangzi, who came with panting and whimpering.
"The general said, let you get on the Dafu ship." Xiangzi showed him the token in his hand, and added, "This is the general's flagship, you can see that he really treats you as a guest."
Lu Yi smiled: "Then I would like to thank your general."
The Dafu Ship is equipped with more than 120 officers and soldiers, eight giant Buddha and wolf machines, 20 bird guns, 100 magic arrows, 30 spray guns, and 30 torches. When Lu Yi inspected the deck, he could see that Yu Dayou was strict in governing the army. The firearms were all wiped clean, and even the barrel of the bird's gun was carefully wiped.
Xiangzi ordered to go down with the token, and the Dafu boat slowly sailed out of the military port.
The weather was fine that day, and there was no fog on the sea to obstruct the view. You could see that Cen Harbor was not far away. Its port was triangular in shape, the same as what was drawn on the coastal defense map, but what could not be seen on the coastal defense map was that the two sides of the port were The natural stone walls were built, and the gun barrels on the stone walls could be seen from a distance... Lu Yi knew at a glance that it would be more difficult to capture Cengang by sea than by land.
"How many times has your general attacked by sea?" he asked the bird gunner next to him.
"After arriving at Zhoushan, we have attacked five or six times by sea." Bird Gunshou replied, "But the port of Cengang is too deep. As soon as the ship entered, it was attacked from three sides, and several ships were sunk by artillery."
Lu Yining looked at Cen Gang for a long time, turned around and asked the sprayer: "The sprayer should have the longest range on the ship, how far?"
"About ten feet."
"A few dozen feet, then you can attack the Japanese ships in Cen Harbor."
"Yes, but the lethality of the spray nozzle is limited. It can only set the sails of the Japanese boats on fire, which is not enough to defeat the enemy. If the Japanese boats are at sea and the boats burn, they have to jump into the sea, but when the boats are in port, they only need to go ashore. Putting out the fire." The sprayer was also very annoyed, "It would be great if the Japanese boats could be led out, but unfortunately they are very cunning.
"So..." Lu Yi looked at Xiangzi who had been following behind him, "So your general will only be able to attack from the land?"
"The general is also helpless. Several ships have sunk, and the money allocated to them is very limited. It is not enough to buy firearms, not to mention rebuilding warships."
There is no way to fight by sea, or by land. The sage has to be dismissed and investigated. Even Lu Yiguang feels a headache when he thinks about it. Yu Dayou is forced to do this, and the burden on his shoulders is really heavy.
At the same time, Yu Dayou, who was in the big tent in the army, was indeed at the end of the road. In the face of all the participating generals and guerrilla generals, he did not care whether he would lose face, took out the imperial decree, and read it word by word.
"... Down from the commander-in-chief, all dismissed and investigated!"
After reciting the last sentence, the generals looked at each other in dismay, feeling like a dark cloud covered their tops.
Putting away the yellow cloth, Yu Dayou looked at the crowd, as if waiting for them to say something, but after waiting for a while, no one said a word, so he could only open his mouth and said, "You all know what the Holy One means, and you also have to share the situation of Cen Gang. It's clear... let's talk, anyone who has a good way can say it, as long as they can capture Cen Gang!"
The generals bowed their heads in silence.
After waiting for a long time, a guerrilla general hesitated and said, "General..."
"You have a way, say it!" Yu Dayou encouraged him.
"No, the humble general is thinking, isn't there a Lu Yanshi in our camp? I heard that he is Lu Bing's eldest son, and Lu Bing is very favored by the saint. Can we ask Lu Yanshi to speak for us... No Kind words, just tell the truth, tell the Holy One about our situation here, and let the Holy One give him a few more months of grace?"
Yu Dayou frowned, and asked him angrily: "He has friendship with the sage, but not with us, why do you let him speak for us. Send things, right? It's not enough to buy firearms with all the money. Is he a bird gun, or give him a torch?"
Being speechless by what he said, the guerrilla general sighed.
"You guys! Is there any other way?" Yu Dayou looked at the others.
Deputy envoy Wang Chonggu frowned and said, "General, we have already attacked several times. With the terrain of Cengang, there is no other way. We can only use people to fill in and move forward little by little."
The other generals remained silent, and Yu Dayou knew that Wang Chonggu was telling the truth, but the truth was even more cruel than the truth. With the current strength of the Yu family army, even if the officers and soldiers were willing to take their lives, not only would they not be able to capture Cengang within a month, Everyone has to get in.
Looking at Cen Gang, who was close at hand on the map, Yu Dayou slammed his fist down: "Since there is still a month left, we will continue to fight! But we must not let the brothers die in vain. You go back and draw up detailed battle plans. Tomorrow Show it to me in the morning. Whoever has a battle plan to capture Cengang will be the hero of this battle, and I will ask for the credit for him!"
"The humble general takes orders!"
All the generals left, and only Wang Chonggu stayed behind.
Wang Chonggu has followed Yu Dayou for many years and has played with him many times. He knows Yu Dayou's character well.
"General, the battle is going to continue, but we also have to think about the way forward..." Wang Chonggu advised, "There is a reason why it can't be won. We must let the sage know that we can't always take the blame for it."
"Just say what you want to say."
Yu Dayou looked at him.
"It's no coincidence that Lu Yanshi came to Cengang at this time, General, think about it carefully."
"I've thought about it for a long time!" Yu Dayou took out Hu Zongxian's handwritten letter in his arms, "Look, the Governor's entire letter is all about how we should treat him. Treat him as a Bodhisattva. Okay, I have done everything I can. If he wants to read these battle materials, he will show them all. This morning he said he will go out to sea for a turn, so I will give him the big blessing boat to sit on. , tell me, what else can I do... My whole possessions add up to less than twenty taels of silver, even if I give them both hands, can he see it? I'm about to turn myself into a mother-in-law to warm the bed for him. …”
After reading Hu Zongxian's handwritten letter, Wang Chonggu was furious when he heard what Yu Dayou said, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Otherwise, I'll find an opportunity to have a meal with Lu Yanshi and find out what he's saying." He said, "There are some things that you can't say easily, General, so I'll be better off."
Yu Dayou sighed, took out some scattered silver from his waist, and stuffed it into his hand: "The whole order, don't make people look down on it before you eat it."
"I still have this money, you can keep it."
Wang Chonggu smiled and stuffed the silver back, worried that he would shirk, and hurried away.
**************************************************** ****************
After traveling south for two days, under the care of Mrs. Shen, he can walk freely this summer, even A Rui can walk a few steps slowly, and his internal strength is gradually recovering.
When I hit the tip today, this summer came to Cen Shou's side and said nicely, "Brother, can you show me the map."
Cen Shou avoided suspicion and ducked three feet away, and said, "No, no, no."
"Before the inn left, Cen Fuming gave you the map, and I saw it." This summer, he dismantled him and said, "You are a big man, you can't get a wife if you are so stingy."
"You..." Cen Shou angrily took the map out of his arms and gave it to her, muttering, "I really don't know what the eldest son likes about you."
This summer, with sharp ears, he took the map and shook his head triumphantly: "He naturally thinks I'm good everywhere, how can your vision compare to his."
Cen Shou couldn't say anything about her, so he went to fetch water with a cold face.
This map is the one used internally by Jinyiwei. It is more detailed than the six-door map. Every river and river can be clearly seen, and even the humble villages will be marked. As soon as I get it this summer, I will not put it down. Looking at the location of Cen Gang, the location of Xinhe City, and the location of Hangzhou City, he secretly calculated whether Lu Yi had arrived at Cen Gang at this time.
Chun Yumin didn't let the maid follow her. She walked to Jinxia alone and asked softly, "Miss Yuan, where are we now?"
"It's here." This summer pointed to her, "Going forward, you have to cross the river... Look, Xinhe City is here..."
Chun Yumin nodded while watching.
"The official road is easy to go, it should be there in two days." This summer, he took the map, took out the golden round cake from his arms, and handed it to her, "Tast one, Dayang's craftsmanship is better than the cake outside. Much delicious."
"Thank you."
After getting along these days, Chunyu Min became familiar with them a lot, and never saw each other again. He took the cake and ate it bit by bit.
Yang Yuexing came over and handed the water bag to Jinxia. Seeing that Chunyu Min was also eating cakes, he smiled and said, "It's very rough, is Miss Chunyu used to eating?"
"The chewing is very sweet, and the craftsmanship is really good." Chun Yumin smiled.
"You can't get on the stage," Yang Yue said modestly, "The girl is too famous."
Not far from the same forest, there are also people who are resting on their feet and tipping their feet. This summer, they were chewing cakes. They glanced at them several times, intentionally or unintentionally, with a calm expression on their faces, and slowly rubbed against Uncle Beggar's carriage.
"Uncle, why didn't my aunt come down to breathe?" she asked Uncle Beg.
Uncle Beg was annoyed: "I'm still sewing clothes for you, the carriage is bumpy, the needle has poked my hand several times, but I won't stop."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Shen's voice came from inside the car curtain: "Don't believe him, I just don't want to be idle and sew clothes for entertainment."
This summer, he lifted the curtain of the car: "Auntie, are you hungry, can I bring something to eat?"
"No, Dayang put a lot of dry food in the car, so I can't starve." Mrs. Shen kept the needle in her hand, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Remember to try it at night, I'm afraid some will wear it."
Seeing that the snow-green shirt in her hand had taken shape this summer, she still instructed: "Don't worry, Auntie, don't tire your eyes." After that, she lowered the curtain of the car and pulled Uncle Beg aside.
"Uncle, have you seen the person over there?" She lifted her chin slightly.
Uncle Beggar didn't even have to turn his head to know that she was talking about those people: "I saw it earlier, and they are all fleeing. Right now, the pirates along the coast are making a riot, and many people have left their homes."
"It's hard to keep people who take advantage of this mess. You take care of my aunt, just be careful."
"Don't worry, with me here, no one can take advantage."
