On the other side of Jingkou, on the banks of the canal in Jiangbei, this is the central army garrison of the main force of the Great Zhou army naval division, mobilized from Tokyo, and the commander Han Tong.

Han Tong stared with big eyes, a face that was incomprehensible, and said expressionlessly: "The Quarry Navy planned to go on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the fifth year of Xiande, and launched an attack on the Jingkou water surface on the tenth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelf

After Han Tong finished reciting the book, he slapped the general on the table with a "slap" and raised his head.

Looking back, both generals turned to look at themselves, all standing except him.

Han Tong asked: "What do you think?"

A general turned around and said, "Let's fight!"

Han Tong nodded: "Don't make trouble this time. If you want to fight, just be more careful. Who will lose my face and let the person surnamed Shi have something to say. If that happens, I will not be so easy to talk to! Everyone, prepare immediately and set off early on the 11th day of the lunar month."

Someone asked again: "What if the weather is not good there or the wind is incorrect?"

Han Tong said coldly: "Even if the world is in trouble, you have to row the warship into the river!"

...

In the Zhou army camp south of Jiangning City, there were only a few people in the central army tent. Guo Shao looked at the few people sitting on the chair. Li Chuyun was no longer there. He left in the morning to Caishi and mobilized the navy. Guo Shao himself was also preparing to rush to Caishi Water Village in the afternoon. This battle was of great importance. He thought of the navy boat to boost the morale of the soldiers.

"If Ankou and Chizhou are broken through by the Southern Tang army, the quarry ferry ferry ferry can also be abandoned." Guo Shao said, "As long as the Jingkou South Tang Army Navy is eliminated, the Hantong troops can join us and get reinforcements from the rear of our country from the canals. Then, the quarry will be recaptured; there will be more Jingkou in the ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry ferry

After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Pu: "After I leave the camp, the king envoy will use the decision-making power of the land divisions of the former camp military palace in Jiangnan. Shi Yanchao, Dong Zunhui and other generals should obey the king envoy's wishes."

After hearing this, the generals clasped their fists and said, "Here." Wang Pu nodded and responded.

Zuo You advised: "Since the lord has handed over the navy's military power to General Li (Li Chuyun), he doesn't have to get on the boat in person."

Guo Shao said: "The soldiers knew that I was in the navy army and would work harder. This war was of great importance and would lay the overall situation of victory in the battle against the Southern Tang Dynasty. Mr. Zuo no longer had to persuade him."

The crowd talked about it again, and Guo Shao got up and left the position to leave the tent.

Soon, Lu Chengyong twisted a large sack and came out of the Central Army's tent, and chased after him and handed the sack to the veteran general Qin Shitou next to him: "This is something that the master is fair and often used. Now General Qin has packed it up."

Guo Shao turned around and said softly, "Please take a look at the woman named 'Wang Yao', don't let her be in any danger." He couldn't help but emphasize: "Where I usually go, I want you to follow you, and this time I keep you."

Lu Chengyong said: "I will remember the lord's orders."

Guo Shao and his followers walked out of the headquarters of the Central Army and looked at the gate of the camp from afar. There was a group of soldiers gathering, some of whom did not even take weapons. Zuo You followed Guo Shao's gaze and said, "These people are miscellaneous soldiers in the camp. They will follow us to pick and quarrel on the boat. In the morning, I heard Wang Envoy and General Li talking about this in the tent of the Central Army. General Li prevented the wrong wind on the day of the 9th day, and needed people to row paddle and were afraid that there would be insufficient staff, so he asked Wang Envoy to transfer people from Luying. Wang Envoy found some strong people and soldiers who could still fight in various departments. It is estimated that this matter is not big, so he did not tell the lord."

"So that's it." Guo Shao nodded.

...The group of people gathered at the entrance of the camp were the miscellaneous soldiers summoned from the various departments in front of the hall.

Among the Zhou army's imperial soldiers, the status of ordinary soldiers is not based on qualifications, nor on age. On the contrary, those brave young and strong soldiers are the main combat soldiers, who are rushing forward in the battle formation and have a higher status; there are also some soldiers who have been in the army for too long and have not been promoted, with high military capital but the lowest status... They should have been eliminated to go to farm, but these people are very skilled in various tasks in the army and have rich experience. In the army, some soldiers who usually take care of horses and cook rice, and these old soldiers do this.

Old Man Li is one of them. He is actually in his forties, but he has been sleeping in the open for a long time, with his face full of wrinkles and gray hair, so he looks older and is known as "Old Man Li". Old Man Li is a miscellaneous soldier under the second command of the Third Army of the Tiger Ben Army. He has been in the army for nearly thirty years. He is kind and has a good relationship with the soldiers, so he has been eliminated several times in a row and has stayed.

The warrior Yao Erniu was also the second commander, helping Old Man Li come over with something and send him off.

"Go back, go back." Old Man Li waved his hand.

Yao Erniu said: "You have to be careful." Although he didn't say anything, he seemed reluctant to let it go.

They are all martial artists who don’t know much about their separation. Their separation is not as particular as officials, and their words are simple. Old Man Li said: “I am just a boater, hiding from arrows.”

Yao Erniu was also a dull person. He touched his forehead, turned around and walked a few steps, and then turned around and said, "I haven't thanked Old Man Li for that matter yet."

"Hehe." Old Man Li smiled, "It's hard to say that kind of thing. It's different from the mouth of others to Commander Zhang's ears. It's okay, go back, go back."

What they were talking about was that Yao Erniu wanted to hide behind on the battlefield in Dangtu. Later, Yao Erniu was often mocked by the soldiers and reported that he had won enemy soldiers on the battlefield, but no one believed it... Then Old Man Li told Yao Erniu's family affairs in front of others.

It turned out that the house that Mr. Li rented in Tokyo was not far from Yao Erniu's house, so he probably knew the situation of his family. However, Yao Erniu had not been in the imperial guards for a long time, and was dull, and he didn't make many friends with the soldiers under his command, and he was not familiar with Mr. Li at first... The soldiers learned that the Yao Erniu's family was so sympathetic, and the people who were unwilling to testify for him had also changed their words.

When the commander Zhang Jiankui heard about this, he also changed his attitude towards Yao Erniu.

So Yao Erniu is very grateful to Old Man Li. In addition, he usually has a lot of appetite, Old Man Li often gives him an extra piece of cake as a hot husband, so the two have a big age difference, which makes them have a good relationship.

When Old Man Li saw Yao Erniu leaving, he carried his package on his back and lined up with the surrounding soldiers. At this time, a general came to lead the troops, and the crowd followed the generals to leave the barracks and went on the main road.
