"Shaoyang, what are you planning to do …"
Yan Lin stopped him, so Yang Tao gave up on the idea of leading the army. Unexpectedly, Yan Lin put on his armor, which was rare.
Yan Lin said, "I will lead the army to intercept the food. Yang Si is cunning. We can't let him get away so easily."
Yang Tao felt wronged. His friend didn't want him to lead the army, so he went alone.
"I've known Shaoyang for so many years, but you've never dressed like this before."
Yang Tao and Yan Lin grew up together. They were not biological brothers, but they were as close as real brothers. They knew each other very well.
Even though Yan Lin always wore a scholarly robe and looked like a gentleman, it didn't mean that the sword on his waist was just a decoration.
Only a few people knew that even Yang Tao, a powerful warrior, had to be on high alert when fighting with Yan Lin. Otherwise, he might lose.
If Yang Tao wasn't so troublesome, Yan Lin would rather be a scholarly general than a counselor. He wouldn't have to clean up Yang Tao's messes like this. If Yan Lin hadn't put on his armor, even Yang Tao would have forgotten what he looked like in it.
The armor that Yan Lin was wearing was not brand new. There were traces of battle on it, and it gave off a fierce aura.
Perhaps because of the armor, Yan Lin's gentleness and gentleness had been diluted. Instead, he looked more heroic.
Hearing Yang Tao's words, Yan Lin couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't wear this armor often. Who was it for?
If Yang Tao could save him some trouble, he would also be willing to go into battle in leather armor and become a general who opened up new territories, rather than a strategist who stayed in the rear to give advice. Of course, this wasn't a bad thing. To Yan Lin, nothing was more important than Yang Tao's safety.
"Master, it's getting dark. We can go now."
At this moment, a soldier outside reminded the two of them.
Yan Lin glanced at the darkening sky outside and couldn't help but say, "My lord, guard the rear. Keep an eye out."
Yang Tao asked, "Can they send troops to attack our water stockade?"
Yan Lin retorted, "Why not? It would be best if they could successfully intercept Liu Xi's rations, but if they couldn't, then they would have to burn them all down. Once the fire started, the enemy would definitely take action. If they can't save the granary in time, they can mobilize their troops to attack our water stockade; it can be considered a strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. Therefore, my lord cannot let down her guard tonight. Pay more attention. "
Yang Tao understood. He had always trusted his partner's words, so he naturally had no objections.
"Alright! I will increase the number of patrols to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation. Shao Yang should also be careful, don't play around with your life. " Yan Lin valued Yang Tao, and Yang Tao valued his friends as well. "I'll prepare a banquet here and await your triumphant return."
Yan Lin cupped his fists and said, "Yes, sir!"
The army was divided into two groups. They had long since made preparations and were only waiting for the order to pull the anchor and set sail.
"The wind is blowing from the southeast tonight. It looks like even God is willing to help our army."
Yan Lin was sitting on the deck, trying to calm himself down. Beside him, two Vice-Admirals were whispering to each other.
Other than the soft chatter and the sound of the oars, there was only the sound of the southeast wind blowing against his clothes.
Most of the soldiers under Yang Tao's command were good at swimming. They all grew up near the water and knew the area very well.
One of the Vice-Admirals was a native of the area. His family had been fishermen for generations, and they relied on God for their livelihood.
Because his ancestors and parents had always taken him out to fish, he had learned a lot from them.
Looking at the sky, he said, "It's not just the southeast wind. Maybe there will be fog on the river at around midnight tonight."
Even though the fog would affect the sailing of the ships, it also served as a cover.
The soldiers at the helm were all locals who were familiar with the area. They wouldn't get lost even if they closed their eyes, let alone the fog.
In comparison, Jiang Pengji's soldiers were not as familiar with the river.
Once the fog came, they would be like headless flies.
"Is there really going to be fog at midnight?" The other Vice-Admiral was obviously not as experienced as the other Vice-Admiral.
At that moment, Yan Lin, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened his mouth.
"Yes, there will be fog. But judging from the weather … there will probably be some rain after midnight …"
For people who relied on the water for their livelihood, especially fishermen, it was a basic skill to distinguish the flow of the river and predict the weather to avoid hunting in stormy weather. Even though Zhangzhou's shipbuilding technology was not bad, humans were as weak as ants in the face of nature.
The Vice-Admiral was also surprised. He didn't expect Yan Lin, who was from an aristocratic family, to be so good at this.
"If it drizzles after midnight, then our plan …"
Yan Lin wasn't worried. They planned to make their move before midnight, and the rain after midnight. There was no conflict of time.
When the rain came, the food that needed to be burned would be gone, and the food that needed to be taken would be taken. It wouldn't affect the overall plan at all.
At the same time, Yang Si was bitterly being used as bait by Feng Zhen.
"I really don't know what Feng Langzi is thinking. Did I steal his food or drink? How could he treat me like this?" Yang Si couldn't help but sigh. He kept complaining to Feng Zhen, "Do you think I'll be able to lure Yan Shaoyang here with me as bait?"
The Vice-Admiral who was protecting Yang Si couldn't help but laugh, but he couldn't. It was painful to hold it in.
When his cheeks were sore, the Vice-Admiral suppressed his laughter and said, "If we can really lure him here, the military counselor will have made a great contribution."
Everyone knew how important Yan Lin was to Yang Tao. If they could capture Yang Tao's number one subordinate, the enemy's morale would plummet.
Yang Si laughed, "It's easier to dream about this."
The Vice-Admiral knew that Yang Si wasn't arrogant. As long as he didn't cross the line, Yang Si didn't mind joking a little.
"I remember that the military counselor said that he wanted to make more contributions and save more dowry for his daughter."
Speaking of which, it was strange. They had never heard of the single Military Advisor Yang Si getting married, but everyone knew that he had a daughter.
Yang Si said, "They changed the dowry."
The Vice-Admiral was speechless.
Yang Si said gloomily, "My son's mother decided it. How can I go against her?"
The Vice-Admiral said, "The dowry is not bad. The military counselor's daughter can't wash hands and cook for others like ordinary girls."
Because the status of female soldiers in the army was getting more and more important, many soldiers had changed their view of women. They didn't dare to underestimate them. As one of the lord's confidants, Yang Si's child would also be an official in the future. His status wouldn't be low, so his marriage couldn't be like that of ordinary girls.
Yang Si was even more gloomy. "My son's mother told me not to worry about this. She's wealthier than me. I can only hope to have another son. "
Jiang Nongqin was a general who led troops to war. She didn't need too many rewards and spoils of war. Yang Si couldn't even catch up to her family.
She was obviously biased towards her daughter. She said that the eldest daughter had to follow her household register and her surname. In the future, when she had a son, her son would continue the family line for Yang Si.
What else could Yang Si say?
Of course he would follow her.
Yang Si didn't even have a wedding. How could he object?
