Chapter 466: Shared Enemies
The night banquet did not last long. The long voyage had just ended, the boat was tired, and those with their families, such as Lu Bu and Xiang Yu, returned to the hotel where they were staying early.
Su Chen asked Qi Jiguang to stay alone and moved the banquet to a small pavilion in the backyard. While eating, they chatted about the Japanese pirates. They probably chose the time to attack the Japanese.
“I am a man of the Ming Dynasty, and I know very well that Zhuge Wolong has the talent to navigate the world, but I don’t know how many ships can be moved by the monsoon wind.”
Standing among the plates of dishes The candle flickered.
While Qi Jiguang was talking, he also poured wine for Su Chen. Wu Zixun noticed that the candlelight was slightly dim. He came over and added some vegetable oil, flicked the wick, and waited for the candlelight to light up again before retreating outside.
"I can trust the Prime Minister as a person. Since he speaks like this, he must have some etiquette. I also saw him borrowing a gust of wind on this voyage south."
Although Su Chen is They are descendants of later generations, but in this world, he is the emperor and they have common topics, so there is no generation gap between them.
The same is true for Qi Jiguang. When it comes to fighting against the Japanese, he would rather lower his status than fight the Japanese to the end.
The two talked some more, and Su Chen was also a little drunk. He became more and more excited when talking about the Japanese pirates. He also talked about the war of resistance in future generations in a vague way. Later, he even dropped the vagueness and started to curse. .
Whenever Su Chen started to say strange remarks, Wu Zixun outside the pavilion would consciously step away. He knew that there were some words that he could not listen to.
Bang bang!
In the pavilion, Su Chen patted the tabletop, causing the dishes and soup to splash out, and his eyes turned red.
"Anyone with Japanese characters...I don't care if he is a little Japanese or not...I will kill him...if I don't kill him...the fire in my heart cannot be vented. The Ming Dynasty will be too late at that time... It’s far away, I don’t know, and I can’t see it. But in the modern world, do you know how many Chinese people died?”
Su Chen looked at Qi Jiguang with a heavy face, smelling of alcohol all over his body. Show three fingers.
"Thirty million... In the current world of Xia Kingdom, two-thirds of the people would have been killed, the family and country would have been destroyed, and they were almost destroyed! It's a pity that I was not born in that era and could not carry a gun on the battlefield..."
Speaking of this, Su Chen almost said the complete words through gritted teeth.
“Now that I have the ability, I can’t repeat the same mistakes again! If the island country in the East China Sea were just a group of natives, I wouldn’t think so much. I would just treat them like natives and educate them. But now they call themselves Japanese, and the leading general is a famous general in the history of Japan, and the emperor is also here, haha... Then it's no wonder that I have bad hands."
Su Chen's words were firm and cold, and there was nothing wrong with them. of retention and disguise.
“This time, I will completely implement the policy of genocide. On the East China Sea Islands, everything with two feet will be killed! Not a blade of grass will be left!”
"Okay! I support your majesty!"
Qi Jiguang's face was heavy, and he stood up in a flash, arching his hands towards Su Chen, his eyes also red: "I have been waiting for you, with such a king, and I Kill the Japanese pirates! Your Majesty couldn’t help but get your hands dirty after what he said today. I’m willing to do it for you!”
As if he had found a close friend, the old man no longer looked like he did before, but pressed the button quite excitedly. Shi Zhui, he was also a little drunk. As he spoke, his voice choked up in front of Su Chen.
“I have been killing Japanese slaves all my life. I wish that one day, instead of preventing them from landing, I would hunt them down in their hometown and burn them all with fire. They were like a swarm of locusts, burning and killing them. Robbery, inch by inch search, the most brutal one I remember was in Ningde, Fujian Province, more than 300 miles up and down, no one was seen for three years, the county town was abandoned, women were insulted and abducted by them, and all the old, weak, young and strong were slaughtered. , Corpses are everywhere, it can be said that I have lost my conscience, I can say that I have spent my whole life controlling the Japanese invasion along the coast..."
The old man rambled on about many Japanese invasions during the Jiajing period, and Su Chen gritted his teeth after hearing this. , which is equivalent to witnessing two invasions of little devils.
"Don't worry, sir, our wish will be settled this year. We won't have the chance to avenge the hatred we had in the past, but God is merciful and sent all the Japanese people here. It's such a good thing, let's not miss it this time!"
< br>Su Chen lifted up his sleeves and raised his cup: "Come, have a drink to avenge this time!"
"To destroy the Japanese, drink to win!"
Qi Jiguang's face was red, He raised his cup and saluted the emperor, and then they drank it together. After talking about the main business, the remaining time was spent talking about some things about the Ming Dynasty and some questions Qi Jiguang had about later generations of Japanese.
Time gradually passed, and after the night fell, Qi Jiguang was too drunk. In addition, his body was still in the state of an old man and had not returned to its peak, so his body was a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that he was a little tired, Su Chen stopped talking and persuaded him to go back to the house to rest. He watched the other party being helped away by the servants. Su Chen had just been accompanied by Dian Wei and Xu Chu to the wing specially prepared for him in the south courtyard.
Halfway through, on the winding stone bridge connecting the south courtyard, I saw a person standing behind the guardrail from a distance, quietly looking at the lotus leaves in the pond.
"General Lu stayed up late at night, but you are here waiting for me?"
Except for meeting Lu Meng at the port when I came to Fenglai County today, I have not seen him again since then. He suddenly appeared and probably understood that this was because he didn't have to accompany him to the banquet during the day, so he came here specially.
"My lord, Lu Meng pays homage to your majesty!"
Although he was born in the late Han Dynasty, Lu Meng's thinking was still at the time of his death. Since Sun Quan called him out, he took advantage of the situation and served Su Chen.
"No need to be polite, I happened to drink a little too much today, so just come with me for a walk." Su Chen reached out to hold up his hands, and immediately walked to the front, "The general didn't come today, but because of Guan Yu "Is Zhang Fei here?"
"Yes." Lu Meng admitted bluntly from behind.
He captured Guan Yu and beheaded him. Now if the two of them sit together, it will inevitably be a bit awkward, and it will be even more difficult for Su Chen as the emperor. He can still think of this detail. It would be better to take a step back and not participate in the banquet, which would save a lot of trouble.
“I have often heard people say: Don’t persuade others to be good if you don’t know their suffering; don’t criticize others if you don’t know their character. I will not persuade Guan Yu to be generous, nor will I talk about General Lu’s character behind his back. , The matter between you can only be resolved by yourself. After all, you can't hide like this forever. You also know about Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, right? If these two people can reconcile, you and Guan Yunchang may not be able to."
"The main reason is that Guan Yunchang is different from Lu Bu." Lu Meng sighed, "I still did something wrong..."
"No!"
As they approached the arch of the south courtyard, Su Chen He stopped and looked back at him: "From the emperor's point of view, I think the general is not wrong. His strategy and tactics are very good. The only mistake is that he listened too much to Sun Quan. If the general had only captured Guan Yu in Maicheng, Instead of killing him afterwards, the general's reputation will be different."
"Your Majesty agrees with me?" Su Chen nodded: "Tactically, it should be Sun Quan's idea. It has nothing to do with the general. Even if I want to reap the benefits, I should not take action at that time. If I were stationed in Jiangdong at that time, I would even send troops to help Guan Yu, allowing him to take Fancheng, enter Yuzhou, and advance to Luoyang. "< br>
Su Chen made a U-turn gesture, "Let Guan Yu's Jingzhou army extend the front line and turn around to capture Jingzhou. He will be defeated by then, but he will not die in battle or be captured. He will only divert to Wancheng or retreat to Fancheng. Retreat westward to Xichuan. In this way, Jiangdong will not only gain Jingzhou, but also continue to form an alliance with Ji Han."
At this point, Lu Meng would not ask the question "Since they are all stabbed in the back, why. The other party will form an alliance" is a stupid statement. Before Cao Wei is destroyed, the two families must form an alliance and support each other to avoid being swallowed up one by one.
Su Chen drank a lot of wine and said these words under the influence of alcohol. In the past, he would never have spoken freely in front of a group of Chinese military generals and pointed out what they had done in the past. After all, it is easy to offend people.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who had been behind the two of them, suddenly raised their faces, especially Dian Wei. His realm surpassed that of Xu Chu, and there was something unusual about it. , can make him alert and light, huh? ’ While making a sound, he pulled out the two halberds from his back, took a step forward, blocked Lu Meng and Su Chen from behind, and faced the direction of the pond.
The voice shouted like thunder: "Who?!"
Su Chen had been drinking, and his perception was a little slow. With Dian Wei blocking him behind him, he noticed something abnormal nearby. Lu Meng beside him At this time, I pressed the hilt of the knife and saw a rickety figure under the willow tree on the other side of the pond, walking slowly along the edge of the pond.
"The Emperor of Xia and the generals have been disturbed. I just heard that the Emperor was coming to Fenglai County, so I came here specially to see him and inquire about someone."
The man's voice Hoarse and low, as if there was a lump of phlegm stuck in the throat.
When the surrounding soldiers from the Tiger Guard Camp and the Shenji Camp held torches to surround the place, the rickety figure was also illuminated by the firelight. It was an old man wearing plain clothes, with his beard and hair all white. He has a thin and stooped figure, and under a pair of white eyebrows, his eyes still appear to be full of energy.
"The old man's martial arts are very good. He can enter here quietly and avoid the eyes and ears of the embroidery department. He must be at the level of a master, right?" Su Chen glanced at him, raised a hand, and asked the soldiers from the Huwei camp who were surrounding him. He stepped back a little, and then continued: "I have met three of the four great masters, killed two and spared one. The old man should be the last one. Hundred Saint Fist, Liang Guyuan?"
" Your Majesty is really powerful, he revealed the identity of the old man in one word..." The old man walked to the end of the stone bridge and stopped walking, as if waiting for Su Chen to pass.
"This is not very powerful, it is not difficult to guess."
Su Chen looked at him and led Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Lu Meng over. Judging from the other party's behavior, there was no There is no hostility at all, otherwise he would not come out so openly, not to mention that Dian Wei Xu Chu is not weak at all, and can block the opponent even if he is defeated. In recent years, he has used various precious elixirs to raise his realm to the second level. With his unique skills and various secret techniques, it is not impossible to defeat the opponent.
"Let me guess again, who is the person you want to inquire about... After much thought, the old man wants to inquire about Du Yichu, the Yue Swordsman?"
The old man nodded, "Three years ago, the old guy gave me a book. He went to Shengkang and disappeared since then. A few days ago, the old man went to Shengkang and asked someone in the underworld to find out who he was three years ago. He took a boat to the Japanese islands and never came back. "Since the old man knew where he was going, why did he still ask?"
Su Chen was actually a little surprised. Du Yichu, the sword master, let go and took a private boat to the Japanese island alone. As for what he was going there for, Su Chen did not continue to guess, but looked at the Hundred Saint Fist Liang Guyuan on the opposite side to ask what he wanted to ask.
"I have known him for a long time. After I presented him with the book, I heard nothing from him."
Liang Guyuan glanced at the approaching emperor and made no other moves. He just stood hunched at the bridge. On one side, "I went to inquire about his whereabouts a few days ago, and then I also wanted to take a look at the islands. Unfortunately, His Majesty has issued a sea ban, blocking the passage of private ships. I can't go there, so I can only ask for Your Majesty's help."
"Do you want to go to the Japanese island by boat?"
The old man nodded, then raised his hand: "Liang Guyuan, please give me a handwriting, so that I can drive the snakehead to take me there, and I won't be afraid of water on the way. Military investigation."
Su Chen looked at him for a moment and walked towards the south courtyard.
"Old man, come with me."
Entering the south courtyard and the study, Wu Zixun lit the candle and exited the room. Only Su Chen, Dian Wei and the old man were left in the room. , he took out the paper, took a brush and filled it with the ink that was still wet, and quickly wrote a handwriting for release, specifically stating that only two people could pass, to prevent others from taking it and using it in other places.
However, Su Chen was not in a hurry to give it to the other party, but put forward another condition.
"I have already written the hand letter, but when the old man gets there, he should pay more attention to it. After he finds Senior Du and brings him back, he will take the opportunity to tell you about the customs, warships, cities, and the number of soldiers there. Tell me. ”
This condition is not too much. After all, I am here to ask for the other party, and it is impossible for the other party to satisfy it unconditionally. The old man nodded in agreement without thinking.
He had read the book "My China" and knew that the emperor had the heart to unify the universe. What's more, he had also heard about the Japanese coming ashore to kill before, so it was not bad to help the Xia Emperor. .
"Okay, I also dislike the Japanese. Now that Your Majesty has spoken, I will go over there and look for my old friends while trying my best to detect military planes for Your Majesty!"
"Deal!"
Su Chen handed the seal to Liang Guyuan cheerfully. The latter took it and read the content carefully. His eyes lit up. After confirming that it was correct, a smile appeared on his face. , cupped his hands to thank him, then folded the oracle, put it in his arms, cupped his hands to thank him again, turned around and walked out of the study, stepped on his feet, flew towards the eaves, and disappeared into the night sky without any sound.
With just this move, it can be seen that the opponent's skills in fists and kicks are quite impressive.
"Your Majesty, are you just going to hand over the decree to him?" Lu Meng was a little worried.
“This person can be considered upright, not to mention that we have no grudges against him. There is no need to procrastinate and leave a bad impression on others. It is better to be more cheerful and others will remember your kindness. .”
Su Chen smiled and called Lu Meng, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Wu Zixun outside to go back and have a rest. He was also very tired. When he returned to the dormitory, he didn't even need to change clothes. He just lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Anyway, he was very tired. From time to time, a maid would come over to help him take off his clothes.
In the next few days, Su Chen led a group of civil and military personnel around Fenglai County, inspecting the official affairs handled by the government office, and also went to Lin County. Then on April 17, he boarded the ship and returned to the north. , make preparations to attack Japanese islands.
It was just that the weather was calm along the way, and not even a single merchant ship was seen in the nearby waters. A bad premonition gradually rose in Su Chen's heart.
