The infinite scenery on the sea is nothing but mist.
The sea is broad and vast, but it is also violent and impermanent. It can accommodate everything and destroy everything at the same time.
It was already autumn, but there was no intention of cooling down in the South China Sea. From the moment we arrived here in midsummer last year, it felt like only one spring and summer had passed. There were no rotations of four seasons, no harvesting in autumn and storage in winter.
Here, as long as you want to grow food, you will get a harvest no matter what season. Fruits can be seen everywhere and the warm climate is simply a paradise for plant growth.
Ji Song was currently looking at the Central Plains from the highest point of Shuangbi Island. There was a eucalyptus table, an incense burner, and several common fruits and meats in the South China Sea. Surprisingly, there is a terrifying shark on the ground.
This is the most ferocious type of shark, and even whales dare to attack it in groups. In groups, they are the undisputed overlords of the sea.
In the center of the table, there are two tablets, respectively inscribed with the titles of Qin Qiong, Duke of Hu State of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing, Duke of Wei State.
"Old guys, I really didn't expect you to leave at this time. I was ready to end this war and greatly increase the strength of the Central Plains, but you left?"
"Forget it, it's because you are unlucky, but it's not that I won't give you a chance. Don't go to hell and report me to the underworld when the time comes."
Looking at Li Desai who was kneeling on the ground silently, he said: "Desai is good. Although you always say he is mediocre, you don't know that people like him can live the longest."
"Look, Uncle Cheng, the great scourge of Chang'an, is still going strong. Zhang Liang, a guy who only has muscles but no brains, can still go to the battlefield? Is there any fucking justice for this?"
He rambled on for a long time, and Qin Qiong's temper was probably able to tolerate him. Maybe she was still looking at him with a kind smile in the sky. But the same cannot be said for Li Jing. This old guy looks stable, but in fact he is also impatient. Otherwise, he wouldn't have eloped with his maid at midnight, right?
This guy must be quite annoying, but he doesn't care, he can hit me if he can!
Ji Song really hoped that these two people could come to him and have a fight, so that he might feel better.
Ever since he entered the imperial court, he had formed an indissoluble bond with these veteran generals who were either reckless, shameless or generous.
He didn't know why, but he would rather have a big bowl of wine and meat with Cheng Yaojin, and curse with Yuchi Gong, than chat with Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, about the past and present.
How come I can't get along with the literati when I clearly support them? Is this the legendary same-sex repulsion?
"This is the overlord of the sea, the shark!"
"I thought you could be considered a hero among men, but it's a pity that you can't use bull heads and three animals when you die. Those literati always like to talk about etiquette, but let them give it to me this time? I promise to give it to him. A few big-eared melon seeds."
"Not convinced? Hehe, as long as they can find in the ancient books that sharks cannot be used as sacrificial animals, I will kowtow to them!"
Gu Yanzhi's face was filled with black lines. What the hell is this guy doing?
Is it shabby if you don’t allow the use of cow heads? Why do you think using dolphins is an insult?
I don’t know what this guy was thinking, just asking everyone to hunt sharks. This is the result of everyone's dissuasion, otherwise according to this person's idea, the prince will die and the big fish will die.
In this case, hunting a whale is not too much, right?
Finally, under the dissuasion of everyone, he was unwilling to use sharks as three sacrifices. If this was rumored to go to Chang'an, he didn't know whether he would be laughed at or not. But the emperor might be jealous.
That’s right, it’s jealousy!
From ancient times to the present, who can use the overlord of the sea to make three sacrifices?
Ji Song didn't know what Gu Yanzhi was thinking, and it was almost time. If he continued to nag, Li Jing would probably stab someone with his temper.
Forget it, I’ll let you go this time and we’ll talk next time. When I return to Chang'an, I will dance on your grave.
What? no?
Hehe, who asked you to leave so early? Lao Tzu
Can you still jump out of your grave if you just want to pee?
If Li Jing had a spirit in heaven, he would probably be pissed to death by this guy again. It is simply a crime. This person cannot live in peace even if he dies!
After taking the incense candle, he did not show any disrespect this time and respectfully presented the incense to the two old guys. According to the saying in the previous life, the higher the status and the more lucky the person, there are huge benefits in offering incense to the dead!
He thinks that he is one of the top few in the world, right? It should be of great benefit. Uh-huh, I'll give you more incense in the future. No matter if it's useful or not, I think it's useful. Do you have the ability to come out and refute it?
"Let's go. If your father were alive, he would probably curse you again when he saw you. Let's go, have a good rest for a few days, and then we'll set off!"
Li Desai lowered his head in confusion and asked, "Let's go? Where are we going?"
Ji Song looked like he hated iron, so he went up and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Are you stupid? You are looking for bad luck from the cannibal."
"His grandma, I feel unhappy right now, and I can't vent my anger unless I find someone to fight with. I'm tired of staying in this place. I want to be the king of my country, but now I have been staying in this ghost place for a year. If anyone wants to stay alone, I don’t want to stay anymore anyway.”
"Good morning, I'll give birth soon. The marriage of my two sons and my eldest daughter is still waiting. Who has time to accompany them?"
When Li Desai heard this, he immediately stood up and said with a murderous look on his face: "Damn, it should have been like this a long time ago. I don't want to stay in this place anymore."
"Gu Yanzhi!"
"My subordinate is here!"
Ji Song looked at the huge fleet below with his hands behind his back. He was very excited for a moment and said loudly: "Pass this command to the commander-in-chief!"
"Order Navy Commander Liu Rengui to lead 500 warships to sail immediately to Manila and stand by at the exit of the eastern end of the strait."
"Order Shen Zhen, deputy commander of the Tang Dynasty Navy, to lead 200 warships to support the main fleet on the northeast side of the strait."
"Order, the commander of the Marine Camp, Cheng Chusi, will lead five thousand soldiers to prepare and be ready to kill the enemy at any time!"
Gu Yanzhi was so excited that it had finally started for a whole year!
The time...has come!
Seeing everyone leaving, he whispered in time: "This battle... should be regarded as the prelude to a new chapter for the Tang Dynasty."
"The old guy left at the right time. There are so many cannibals to see him off, so he won't be too lonely on the way to Xiangbi, right?"
............................
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
.............................
When Gu Yanzhi conveyed the general order from the general manager, Liu Rengui, Shen Zhen, and the soldiers all shouted loudly!
For more than a year, they have been staying in this peaceful place. If Ji Song's prestige was not high and the soldiers were convinced, if they were under other people, they would have been unable to bear it.
Now that they finally heard the order from the Grand Controller to decide the decisive battle, could they be unhappy?
They have been holding back this battle for too long, but the chief manager said that the time has come, so what can they do?
Now that there is finally news, everyone feels at ease.
The most painful thing in the world is that there is no end in sight, and the constant waiting has almost exhausted the last bit of patience.
If the war doesn't start yet, or if the time doesn't come, Ji Song can only temporarily return to the army. It's not that I don't dare to answer, but even if I hit him, it won't have much effect. If I'm not careful, the enemy will take advantage of it.
It's different now. According to the news he received, no ship carrying supplies has arrived from the Great Cannibal's fleet for half a month.
According to estimates, they will only have one month's rations on board at most. And this is still a maximum estimate, probably less.
Now the Governor of Great Food, Maimon, should have made plans to retreat.
The fact that they have recently reduced the frequency of searching sea areas already illustrates the problem!
They can't find the main force of the Tang Dynasty, and they can't easily go to the coast of the Tang Dynasty. If this continues, they can only worry! He did not believe that a big country would allow this to continue. Even a big country could not withstand such consumption.
Datang also relied on the blessing of the aristocratic family territory, otherwise Datang would not be able to handle the transportation of supplies from the mainland!
But Ji Song has been playing hide-and-seek with the opponent for so long. Is it just to force the opponent back?
hehe!
If there is a first time, there will be a second time. If the opponent is not hurt this time, he will definitely come again in the future. By then, the confrontation with Datang will never be like this.
When they are ready to attack simultaneously from the Western Region and the sea, even the foundation of the Tang Dynasty cannot withstand such damage!
Therefore, no matter what, the other party will never be allowed to leave easily. Even if he leaves, he must shed his skin.
And how could Ji Song let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? If he let them leave, he wouldn't be able to swallow this breath. Besides, because he has been suppressing them for more than a year, the soldiers have been suppressed to the limit.
However, Dashi's military morale must be weakened due to food problems. If he cannot seize the opportunity, Ji Song will despise himself.
"General Manager, please give me the order!"
Gu Yanzhi came to Ji Song and said.
"Bang the drum!"
"Blow the trumpet!"
Although Ji Song spoke softly, it was like thunder in Gu Yanzhi's ears!
Sometimes the greater role of the general is to stabilize the morale of the army. When others are panicked, the general cannot panic; when the soldiers are afraid of death, the general cannot; when everyone thinks it is invincible, the general must be determined to win.
The calmer and more composed the general is, the more he can inspire the morale of his soldiers!
As long as they stop wherever they go, the soldiers will not be timid or retreat. What's more, Ji Song's invincible record of fighting in the south and north in recent years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Without fighting before, it can be understood that the soldiers were waiting for an opportunity. Although the waiting was very tiring, they believed that the general manager would lead them to victory, so they kept waiting.
But now, the Grand Steward says... fight.
What does that mean?
This shows that the opportunity that the General Manager has been waiting for has arrived. Based on the General Manager's past record, they have no reason not to believe that they will lose this time.
Gu Yanzhi seemed to be affected by Ji Song's calmness, and his original excitement suddenly cooled down.
"Follow the order!"
He turned around and looked at the excited soldiers around him who were staring at him.
Gu Yanzhi took a deep breath: "Order from the Grand Chief!"
"I'll wait for orders!"
Wow~
All the soldiers knelt on one knee and looked forward with burning eyes!
"Bang the drum!"
"Blow the horn!"
"Target......."
"Manila!"
Liu Rengui was the first to prostrate himself and shouted loudly: "The last general takes command!"
"We will obey the orders of the Grand Master!"
When the news spread, all 53,000 soldiers were excited and excited!
"war!"
"war!"
"war!"
"Kill!"
........................................
[In view of the general environment,
Just as the Datang Navy fleet was setting off, three Datang-style warships appeared in the waters.
Pei Ji looked at the vast sea for half a year, exactly half a year, but he didn't even see the shadow of the main force of the Tang Dynasty. We encountered a lot of patrol boats, but when we saw them, they either ran around or circled around. The warships of the Tang Dynasty didn't know what was added to them, but they were even faster than their ships and couldn't catch up at all.
Every time they met, the other person would disappear without a trace within an hour, making it impossible to investigate. Running in all directions, there is no pattern at all.
At first, he just sent people out, but when the number he sent was small, they never came back. If he sent too many people, it was useless, because they would not fight you and ran away!
Pei Ji was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do!
He personally took the boat out today, not because he wanted to come, but because Maimon was going crazy. Every day he was either scolding Ji Song or on the road scolding Ji Song.
He was scolded for being cowardly, cowardly, shameless, and cowardly.
But no matter how much he scolded him, he couldn't find the main force of Datang. Wanting to take the risk to attack the territory of the Tang Dynasty family, they directly sent more than a hundred ships, but only three came back.
He wanted to mobilize all his troops, but he was worried that Datang would directly attack the strait.
The Strait was a place he could never lose. Once lost, Dashi will be extremely passive. As long as the Tang Dynasty blocked this place, it can be said that the Maritime Silk Road would be completely cut off.
It’s not like no one has thought about exploring other paths, but is it that easy?
Without decades, hundreds of years, and generations of exploration, that would be impossible!
The greater possibility is to be buried in the sea!
So now he is simply in a dilemma, especially when the logistical pressure is increasing, he knows that he must make a choice.
Maimon gave him an ultimatum. If he could not find the main force of Datang within one month, he would leave directly. However, since Pei Ji had not made any contribution to Datang, he could only say sorry.
Pei Ji's face turned extremely ugly when he thought of this, he wanted to abandon them!
Once the cannibals leave, they will become the target of the Tang Dynasty to vent its anger. He couldn't guarantee that all his men would follow him to the end of the world. What's more, he couldn't bear to part with the territory he had worked so hard for several years to build!
But nothing has been achieved in half a year, and there is only half a month left. If he still couldn't find the other party, he would consider running away.
Confront Datang? Haha, don't be stupid, this is not how you seek death.
Buzz~
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound. It seemed like this kind of sound was coming from all directions. The sound was so huge that it surged in all directions like ocean waves.
"Boss, look what is that?"
When Pei Ji heard this, he quickly looked around and saw a black line appearing in his eyes where the sky and water met. And the huge buzzing sound was even more real.
"The sound of the trumpet..."
Pei Ji opened his mouth wide and looked at the black line getting closer and closer in the distance. He could no longer hold back the fear in his heart and shouted, "Quick, run!"
There was no need for him to speak at this time. The sailor who was operating the ship immediately began to turn the ship's bow after waking up.
But...is there still enough time?
