Fu Wang felt his nose itch and sneezed loudly. Qi Kuang thought he had caught a cold.
"The river is windy outside. Why don't General Fu go into the cabin to avoid the wind?"
Qi Kuang suggested gently with sincerity written all over his face. This made Fu Wang a little depressed because he didn't like to bully honest people.
"Why would a man be afraid of this little wind? I wonder who was talking about me just now … "Fu Wang sneezed a few more times after he finished speaking. The tip of his nose was itchy and warm, as if his blood had rushed there. He guessed," Maybe it's the two precious babies talking about their Ah Weng. "
Ah Weng was a respectful title for a grandfather, father, or father-in-law. In the previous dynasty, people used this colloquial term, but it wasn't popular anymore. However, some small places still kept this tradition. Huiyun was also affected. When she taught the twins to speak, she taught them to call Fu Wang "Ah Weng." The children learned quickly. When Fu Wang heard the children call him that, all his grievances disappeared. "Not necessarily.
Look at the time now. The children should have gone to bed long ago. " Qi Kuang was an honest man. Without hesitation, he shattered Fu Wang's fantasy and said straightforwardly, "I, on the other hand, think that it's more likely that Advisor Feng and Advisor Yang are talking about you. What do you think?
Fu Wang spat and said in disdain, "These two old foxes are probably up to no good when they talk about me."
Qi Kuang smiled. "I think the two military advisors are good people. They treat their subordinates kindly and rarely make things difficult for others."
Civil officials and military generals rarely got along because their worldviews were different and their areas of expertise were different.
Military generals felt that civil officials only knew how to talk glibly and were annoying. They liked to show off when they had a bit of knowledge in their stomachs and liked to retreat when faced with difficult matters. They didn't have the spirit to work. Civil officials also felt that military generals weren't good. For example, they didn't use their brains when encountering problems, acted rashly, and dealt with things with violence. They fought and killed without thinking. In short, they were nitpicking. No matter how good they were, they would still make mistakes.
These two groups had many conflicts and infiltrated each other. Thus, it was difficult for them to get along.
Qi Kuang felt that he was very lucky. The people he worked with were all good-tempered and understanding. They didn't deliberately make things difficult for others.
Fu Wang could be said to have seen through this conclusion.
"What's the point? Two old foxes. When scheming against others, they wouldn't even know how they schemed against them. "
Fu Wang had clearly expressed his disdain, but that was only in private and would not affect his official duties.
Qi Kuang said, "Could it be that General has suffered losses before?"
Fu Wang said, "Of course I have. Every time I think about it, I feel that the two of them are extremely detestable."
Qi Kuang was even more puzzled. Fu Wang was a loner by nature and had an unruly personality, but he didn't like to cause trouble and offend people.
How did he and Yang Si become enemies?
How did they become enemies?
It was like a child without a mother — it was a long story.
Fu Wang did not intend to be a commander. He wanted to recommend Li Yun or Xie Ze and take the time to arrange his marriage with Huiyun.
That's right, Fu Wang had shamelessly pestered Hui Yun for so many years, and he had finally convinced Hui Yun to agree. For this, he had even signed a series of unfair treaties. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Yang Si and the other man put Fu Wang on the fire to roast. He had become the commander of the expedition against Yang Tao, not an ordinary general. The matters at hand were not of the same level, and he had squeezed out all of Fu Wang's wedding time.
If it was a coincidence, it would have been fine. But these two people were sincere, so Fu Wang could not be blamed for gnashing his teeth.
"Let's not talk about these two old foxes. Mentioning them will only ruin our mood and our good luck."
Since Fu Wang had already made his decision, Qi Kuang stopped talking about Yang Si and the others, in case he made Fu Wang unhappy.
While they were chatting, thousands of warships of various sizes had already sailed down the river and were very close to the water stockade where Yang Tao had set up camp.
In order to increase the success rate, these warships were painted black. Under the cover of the fog, they quietly approached the enemy … Of course, this was impossible. There were regular patrols outside Yang Tao's water stockade. When the warships approached, they would send out a warning!
Even so, Fu Wang and the others had bought a lot of precious time.
Yang Tao was still awake. He was waiting for news from Yan Lin while he was correcting military affairs. His brows were tightly knitted.
At this moment, his sharp ears heard the faint sound of a rocket warning.
"Did I hear wrongly?"
Yang Tao murmured in a low voice. There was a flurry of footsteps outside the tent.
"What is it?"
The soldier said, "My Lord, a large number of enemies are attacking us from outside the stockade!"
Enemy attack?
The word jumped out. Yang Tao's nerves tightened. He recalled the words Yan Lin had left him before he left.
There really was an enemy attack!
"Gather the troops and fend off the enemy!"
He didn't change out of his military uniform. He strode out of the tent and took down the weapon hanging on the rack.
Outside the stockade, the warships were lit up. The enemy's warships were lined up in a row, as if they were going to surround the entire shore.
The soldiers on his side were already busy. The sky was filled with fire arrows, dispersing the fog. The shouts were so loud that it hurt their eardrums.
Fu Wang was well prepared for this sneak attack. He didn't give the enemy any time to react. As soon as he arrived, he launched a fierce combination of punches.
Because of the southeast wind, Fu Wang and the others couldn't fight the enemy for too long. Otherwise, the fire would reach them.
Fu Wang stood on the deck and killed dozens of enemies who tried to come over. He kicked the bodies into the water and they floated to the surface after a while.
"Kill them and destroy their warships. The wind is not good for us. We can't fight for long. We should get ashore!"
Relying on their high fighting spirit, the soldiers rushed to the enemy's deck as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They ignored the spitting flames and directly engaged the enemy in close combat. Following the shouts, bodies of both sides fell into the water. The air was filled with the smell of blood and burning.
Qi Kuang commanded the navy to restrict and destroy the enemy's warships. Fu Wang ordered the archers to clean up the enemy.
They worked together to break through the enemy's weakest defense line and take the opportunity to get ashore.
The heavy hammers hit the enemy's warships. The warships were already surrounded by fire. One hit and half of them collapsed.
Because they had the upper hand, the enemy couldn't gather in time. By the time the main army arrived, Fu Wang had already gotten ashore.
Although there were no large-scale weapons like ballistae or catapults, there were many archers and shield soldiers who managed to stabilize the situation.
The soldiers on the warships were much more relaxed. They relied on the height of the ship to avoid most of the attacks and used the terrain to attack the enemy effectively.
The soldiers under Yang Tao's command were indeed not a motley crowd. Their morale hadn't dropped much and their fighting spirit was still high.
Fighting on three sides, Yang Tao was at a disadvantage.
However, the Qiu family didn't know about this. They were still dreaming and didn't know that disaster had already arrived.
In their dreams, the mansion was already surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. The centurion in the lead lifted his leg and kicked the door open.
