Chu Shaosun and the two captains were invited out, and only Chen Tang and Wu Zaihan were left in the cabin. There were many people on the boat, which were not very soundproof. The two got very close, and the candlelight reflected their shadows on the bulkhead.

"Person Chen, for me, is this matter true or false?"

"According to what Doctor Wu said before, the Egyptian pharaoh and the queen were incompatible with the instigation of the ministers, it is likely that they will fight each other, but they don't want to pick on us and have an accident when we arrived."

Wu Zaihan nodded: "Oh, what can I do about it now?"

Although he had repeatedly used missions to see big scenes, he was now hanging thousands of miles away with several ships and was suddenly subjected to a coup in Egypt, and he was unable to make a decision for a while.

Chen Tang was calm and asked Wu Zaihan: "I don't know what the mission is for General Cavalry to hand over to the doctor this time?"

“What else can it be?”

Wu Zaihan said, "Return the favor to the queen, by the way..." He smiled: "For the general to test the reality of the Egyptian country again, and to separate the Queen and the Pharaoh, I never thought that I would do it personally. Captain Chen, have you told the general about these things before you and I leave?"

Chen Tang said: "The envoy is different from the lieutenant after all. I want to take advantage of the name of a merchant ship and wait for the General of the Cavalry to respond on the shore when he arrives."

This first fleet is just a forward, and there is a larger fleet, which will be Yang Fan traveling west at the tail of the monsoon.

Wu Zaihan said: "Speaking of this, I remember that when General Cavalry said he wanted to come to Egypt in person, Captain Chen strongly opposed it."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "I didn't agree with this at the beginning."

After years of sailing, there is also a map made of the General of the Cavalry. Chen Tang had already remembered the directions, strengths and weaknesses of the countries in this world. He said: "The enemy of the Protectorate's Palace is resting in peace, hundreds of chariots, not Egypt."

It was not even the Great Qin. After Anxiong the Qin general Crasus, the possibility of the Great Qin expedition again was slim, not to mention that Pompei and Caesar have broken up and started a civil war.

So under such circumstances, General Husband suddenly launched an expedition against Egypt, which made Chen Tang really unable to understand. Even if he wanted to pull Egypt out of the Qin camp to protect the profits of the Maritime Silk Road, a messenger from Wu Zaihan could do it, so why should he come in person?

But this was something General Ren had planned long ago, and the opposition was ineffective. Chen Tang was only depressed that General seemed to have explained everything to his beloved disciple Liu Gengsheng, but did not disclose it to his son-in-law.

Chen Tang said seriously: "I had opposed it at the beginning, but now I have to act on orders to ensure that the general fleet can successfully land when it arrives."

After the two of them passed through their qi, everything became much simpler.

Wu Zaihan pondered: "If the queen is still there, then there is no need to say that I should focus on my negotiations and coercion first, but now the queen has run away, there are only three roads left."

He stretched out his index finger: "One of the things is safe, pretending not to know, and I will give it a false promise. I will go to the capital with Taifu Di, and Captain Chen is parked nearby."

Chen Tang used a dagger to lift the candlelight wick and shook his head and said, "When the battle begins like this, will Doctor Wu become a hostage?"

Wu Zaihan smiled and said, "My father was detained in the Huns for several years. If the Egyptians dared to attack me, the General of the Cavalry could add a sentence after the words of Zhenghou of Zhongjie, Duke Su... 'Only Egypt is not alone'!"

Chen Tang nodded: "The general said that even if the offender of the powerful Han Dynasty would be punished. The poison in the river was indeed not as far away as Egypt. However, in this way, Doctor Wu, as an envoy, enjoyed his merits and made a name for himself, and became famous in history. Chen Tang and his soldiers were going to be ashamed to kill him."

Wu Zaihan was about to say second, but Chen Tang also stopped him: "The second is nothing more than evacuation at dawn, and return to Shiba or Halamao Kingdom to wait, and wait until the army of General Cavalry arrived, and then fight back together."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "Even if you and I admit that you have failed in your mission, you have retreated cowardly, and you will never take this strategy!"

Then there is only the last option left.

"Be the best!" Chen Tang poked the dagger into a corner of the case: "Although the Egyptians were prepared, they never thought that we had known domestic turmoil. So they took advantage of the matter tonight and suddenly attacked the soldiers and officials on the ship, taking the port to wait for the General of the Cavalry to arrive!"

Chu Shaosun and others were waiting anxiously outside the cabin, but they saw the candles flashing inside, which made Chu Shaosun nervous for the first time after this incident. Anyone in the port called Ma Ming and asked him to stand up and restlessly, but they saw that Captain Lelang still had the intention to make rice cook and eat rice. He drank salted fish soup and drank rice bowl after bowl.

When he finished the second bowl, the captain stopped and muttered, "I'm afraid I'll use force later, so I can't eat too much."

At this time, Chen Tang and Wu Zaihan came out and met the two captains of Lelang and Liaodong, asking them to send people to follow the longboard connecting the wooden ship to inform the merchant ship one by one, not to ignite the fire and not to let the Egyptians notice it.

There were eight merchant ships coming from the west this time, with sailors and paddlings, totaling more than 400 people. The people on the merchant ship were all wearing white clothes, which were wide Indian cotton robes, and they could be used as sleeping bags when wrapped in winter.

After the captains of the eight ships arrived, Chen Tang summoned them to a meeting and finally called Chu Shaosun to come in: "If the sir doesn't come to testify today, it will be difficult to start writing when writing history in the future!"

...

What Chu Shaosun listened to was a bold and arrogant military adventure.

Chen Tang pointed to the Egyptian sea and land map that had been drawn long ago and said: "This Egyptian country has many ports on the western coast of the narrow sea, but only the only one that can allow dozens of ships to dock is this Port of Berennis. There is also a port in the north. Although it is closer to its capital, the north wind is prevalent and there are many reefs and the fleet is inconvenient to join."

In the past, there seemed to be a canal connecting the sea and the Nile River. However, when Wu Zaihan was on a mission last time, he found that it had long since become a dry valley due to silt and sand.

Therefore, to let General Hussein's fleet dock, the Port of Berennis is almost the only option.

Chu Shaosun was shocked when he heard this and covered his mouth. What surprised him even more was that the captains of the eight merchant ships did not show surprise, but were more excited than the other. Seeing his eyes, the one who sat close to him stopped pretending, lifted up a corner of his white cotton robe, revealing the dark armor inside!

Now I understand that there is probably no merchant on the eight ships, all of them are Han soldiers, or both identities.

"Therefore, when attacking, you must not burn the ship and make it sink and destroy the harbor, but kill people and keep the ship!"

It was quite difficult. This was a task assigned to the "white-clothed merchants". Chen Tang himself had to lead the main force, two hundred soldiers, and after the city wall, there were two thousand Ptolemy soldiers guarding the city of Berennis, and the Egyptian "Trial Tutor" Theodotus was inside.

Chen Tang originally wanted to do something when the rooster crowed, but he remembered that the rooster crow in Egypt might not be the same as the East, so he could only change it to:

"When Taibai Star rises, raise the fire as a sign!"

Chu Shaosun was pushed out of the door by the captains, leaving only Chen Tang holding his ring-headed knife and rubbing it little by little with a grinding stone. Wu Zaihan knew that this was Captain Chen's habit, so he bowed for the last time before leaving: "The Captain once seized the port of the Lion Kingdom and captured the city and trapped the battle. I, a layman, dare not say much, only one question."

"Even if there are five hundred people..."

"No, the poisonous people who row the boat are a thousand." Chen Tang smiled and said, "The rowers are hard, and they sit for several hours. Eating, drinking, defecation and sensation must be solved in the square inch of the cabin, and the rate of things is high. As long as they are allowed to advance from Shudra, they will be scared and say that if they are defeated by Egypt, they will definitely die, and they can also be useful."

Wu Zaihan bowed again: "It seems that the general is determined to win, but even if there are thousands of people, how should he defend after taking the port? Egypt is a large population. If tens of thousands of troops are sent to attack before the General of the Cavalry arrives, it may be difficult to defend."

Calculate the days, the General of the Cavalry has only taken more than 3,000 people, the entire Navy of the Stone Protectorate, and it will take mid-February to reach Egypt at the earliest. Can they hold on to the siege at this port for a month and a half? Ptolemy is not the Huns, and there is a way to attack the city.

Chen Tang asked Wu Zaihan: "Doctor Wu, do you know that General Cavalry is the most powerful, what is the tactic that is unsatisfactory?"

"A thousand miles of raid?"

"no."

"Fox is a fake tiger's power?"

“Not it.”

"That must be a hard village or a stupid war?"

"Not even more."

Chen Tang laughed: "Soldiers are the devil! I look at the strategy that General Cavalry likes to use most, one word, to cheat!"

"When we take down the harbor, we can use a thousand people to set up a five thousand formation, so that the Egyptians will hesitate and dare not attack."

"Besides, you must have heard of Chen She and Wu Guang. When Chen Wu Daze Township first started his business, he was afraid that his reputation would not be revealed. But he heard that Xiang Yan was a general of Chu, and he made great contributions and loved his soldiers. The people of Chu felt sorry for him. Some thought he died or he thought he was dead. So he pretended to be a prince Fusu and Xiang Yan, who sang for the world and followed the people's desires. Later, there were many people who responded."

Chen Tang said: "Isn't the Egyptian queen now missing a trace of escape from the capital? We might as well raise her flag and let the prisoners go out to do more publicity, disrupt the situation in the middle of the country, and even let the real queen come and join after hearing this!"

Now Wu Zaihan was relieved. The Guanxi Marquis and Captains of the Protectorate of the Physical Poisons were mostly from the ranks and even from the vassal masters. They had no education, especially among the younger generation. Although Ren Hong worked hard to train, Chen Tang was the only one who could be the only one who could be civil and military.

"The lieutenant's clever plan is worthy of being the true master of General Cavalry!"

Chen Tang didn't care about the benefit, and wiped the knife again, and did not put it back into the scabbard. He carried it out of the cabin, standing in armor on the bow of the cold wind, staring at the east, until the brightest Taibai star in the sky gradually emerged when the sun and the moon were both out of place.

"Mr. Chu, do you like history books and you must know the phenomena of celestial phenomena and be able to tell divination?"

Chu Shaosun was about to say that Shi Feiwu Bu, but Chen Tang had already answered for him:

"Mr. Chu really knows how to tell fortunes. Look, everyone, the star divination has been released!"

Chen Tang raised his ring-headed sword and pointed it at Taibaixing. There was no need to pretend now. He said loudly to the Han soldiers who were fully armed on the ship to take action:

"It's exactly the same as the General of the Cavalry expedition in the west when he was in the past! Now Taibai is high, and it's good to use troops deep and deep. If it's shallow, it's bad. If it's the first, it's great victory!"
