In the early morning, the golden sunshine shines on the turquoise water.
A bird boat cuts through the jasper-like sea surface, and the waves it stirs up are like two golden wings, seeming to take the bird boat to fly freely.
The sky is high and the sea is vast, and when the man is in high spirits, Jin Xuan, who is just standing on the bow of the boat, frowns and looks into the distance with a solemn expression.
At this time, a burst of heavy footsteps came from behind him.
"Jin Er, how far is it from the place Zhao Erhu said?"
Jin Xuan knew the person coming was Jin Er without even turning around, because he was the only two people in the entire army who were from the north and had not yet fully adapted to life at sea, so their steps were particularly heavy when walking.
"Master, it should...should be...arriving soon!"
Jin Er tried his best to control the balance of his body and said respectfully.
"Well, this time Zhao Erhu and the others sneaked into the imperial cities of Korea and Xian, hoping to successfully rescue Weibei Hou and others!"
Jin Hyun said, and couldn't help but glance at the shaking deck.
Although the deck was very thick, he always felt unsteady.
"Hey, sir, you are so easy to talk to. You are the head coach. Where is Zheng Sen..."
Before Jin Er could finish his words, he saw Jin Xuan frown slightly and hurriedly changed his words: "Master, although it is already summer, the sea is very rough. Why don't you go back to the boat and take a rest!"
Jin Xuan shook his head and said: "Jin Er, I am warning you not to say such words again, which will affect the unity of the army."
"You must know that we don't have many troops on this trip. In addition, both my commander and Concubine Tian are not good at naval battles. When we attacked the North Korea and Xian Navy, we suffered a lot of losses due to improper methods."
"If Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Sen hadn't harassed Kong Youde and others, I'm afraid we would have been driven back by the other party..."
When Jin Er heard this, he still muttered unwillingly: "The younger one didn't say that he was incompetent, I just thought that he acted too domineeringly."
"Look at Zhang Huangyan, he has made greater contributions than him, but he is much more humble than him. And that field..."
Seeing that Jin Er was getting more and more outrageous, Jin Xuan immediately shouted loudly: "Jin Er, don't you listen to what I say now?"
Seeing the angry look on his face, Jin Er hurriedly saluted and walked back slowly.
Jin Xuan looked at Jin Er's retreating back, his expression not only did not relax, but became more solemn.
In fact, the reason why he was angry just now was not because what Jin Er said was wrong, but because he was worried that if Jin Er's words reached Zheng Sen's ears, the morale of the army would be unstable.
Because he knew that this action was of great importance. If he could not lead the Jurchens to North Korea, the consequences would be disastrous.
But he is not good at naval combat, and the strength of Nanbing is obviously much weaker than Zheng Sen's personal soldiers.
In order to stabilize Zheng Sen, he rarely vetoed Zheng Sen's opinions.
When Zheng Sen first went to sea, his attitude was quite respectful.
But since he defeated Pi Dao's navy, he has become a bit domineering.
Later, he directly overturned the previous plan and insisted on dividing his troops to attack the Jurchen Navy.
After some discussion with Tian Shuying, Jin Xuan felt that since Zheng Sen was difficult to control, he might as well let him lead his troops to fight against the Jurchens.
Because if Zheng Sen wins, it will just anger the Jurchens and let the opponent's entire army come to complete Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.
And if Zheng Sen loses, this battle should be enough to attract the attention of the Jurchens.
At the same time, it can also dampen Zheng Sen's arrogance, which is more beneficial to the war.
Originally, their idea was pretty good, but they didn't expect that Zheng Sen and Zhang Huangyan's battle was beyond their expectations.
Zheng and Zhang not only defeated Kong Youxing's 10,000-strong navy, but also blocked Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others at the port, unable to even get out.
Jin Hyun was very happy when he received the news, but when Zheng Sen and others returned, he found that he was happy too early.
Because when Zheng Sen came back this time, his attitude was even more domineering than before, and he and Tian Shuying were almost ignored.
Just when he was about to talk to Tian Shuying about how to suppress Zheng Sen, he didn't expect that Tian Shuying would take the initiative to show her kindness to Zheng Sen and help Zheng Sen deal with him.
The reason why he went to sea today was the decision made by Zheng Sen and Tian Shuying after discussion.
The reason is also very good, because Kong Youde and others are coming soon, Zheng Sen must concentrate his troops to deal with the Jurchens, and there is no way to escape.
Li Guozhen's safety was also very important, so he, the coach, came in person.
"call!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, bringing the meditative Jin Hyun back to reality.
"Master, something seems wrong. The sentry just vaguely saw a dozen warships heading towards us in front of us!"
At this time, Jin Er ran over to report anxiously.
Hearing this, Jin Xuan frowned and said: "Our trip is very hidden, and the North Korean and Korean naval forces have been trapped in the port by us. How could there be warships showing up?"
Jin Er was stunned and said in a low voice: "Master, could it be that boy Zheng Sen wants to seize power, so..."
"Kinji!"
Jin Xuan shouted sternly: "If you are still so stubborn, don't blame me for using family methods!"
When Jin Er heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he stepped back and said: "Master, I am not afraid that you will be plotted by others. You must know that when Zheng Sen asked you to come here, his face was very gloomy..."
Jin Xuan also knew that Jin Er had good intentions and glared at him fiercely. After he shut up, he took out a small telescope from his arms and looked forward.
"Hey, that looks like our Ming navy!"
With the help of the telescope, Jin Hyun vaguely saw the other party carrying the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Because according to Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, they were a lone army.
If we can fight, we will fight. If we can't, we will retreat to Tianjin Port and try to preserve our strength.
This is also the reason why Jin Hyun kept giving in when Zheng Sen advanced.
Because of his weak strength and great responsibility, he would rather wrong himself than find a way to fulfill Zhu Yuanzhang's important trust.
But now a navy suddenly appeared, making him full of doubts.
"Signal!"
Jin Xuan hesitated for a while and then gave instructions to the soldiers at the observation tower.
When the soldier heard this, he quickly climbed to a higher place and asked the other party to send a signal.
"Mr. An Guo, the other party said that they are the navy of Tianjin Port and are here under your order!"
The soldier was a little surprised when he saw the other party's flag.
"On my command?"
Jin Xuan was a little confused when he heard this.
"Yes, they said they came under the order of Duke An!"
After confirming with the other party again, the soldier said with a blank expression.
"Are you sure that the other party is the navy of Tianjin Port?"
After Jin Xuan was surprised, he immediately thought that Liu Wenbing might be here. He felt relaxed for no reason, and then asked the soldier again.
The soldier nodded and said: "Judging from the costumes and flags, it should be the navy of Tianjin Port... Well, he let us pass!"
Hearing this, Jin Xuan felt relieved and said, "Okay, speed up and get closer to the opponent!"
"Wow!"
As the bird boat accelerated, waves suddenly rolled on the sea.
"Hey, that's Marquis Weibei, and Wang Qianhu..."
"Master, is that man An Guogong? Is he really here?"
Jin Er looked excited after meeting Li Guozhen, Wang Shoulin and others.
But when he saw Liu Wenbing, he couldn't help but show surprise.
"Let's go with the master to see Duke An Guo!"
Jin Xuan said happily when he saw Liu Wenbing.
