After a brief exchange, Chu Qing understood three things.
The first thing is that the supervisors of the Imperial College have become "good".
Or Chen Yan, the wild prince, can be called Huang Laosi's right-hand man. Looking at him laughing and joking, he must have some abilities. The Imperial College student who was sent to Lake City a year ago has become a brawler in just one year. He is a good hand with a strong temperament and scars all over his body. He is a good hand in charging into battle.
Chu Qing gave a thumbs up, Lao Jiu was a great guy, mud in his hands could turn into good steel.
Only the third brother inadvertently revealed his wise eyes.
He remembered that there were more than 200 people assigned to Hucheng at that time. He just asked, why were there only more than 100 people left?
The second thing is that Hucheng is very miserable. Chen Laojiu said that he really doesn't want to stay in this shabby place. Either he wants to return to the capital, or he just doesn't want to live like a wild monkey in the mountains and forests behind Hucheng.
The third thing is that Cao Hu is very upset. On behalf of his whole family and all the people in Hucheng, he expresses his protest, saying that Chen Laojiu is really fucking annoying. Now that the boss is here, let Chen Laojiu and these idiots get out of here. , you can go back to the capital, or you can go back to the Dead Sea. Anyway, don't bother them in Lake City. The vast number of people in Lake City only need one employer.
After some fun, exchanges, and pleasantries, Chu Qing asked the key question.
"Ah Hu, how many people did you bring with you?"
"Hehe." Cao Hu looked cute and raised two fingers.
Chu Qing's face was full of disappointment: "Just two thousand, I have one million, you just brought two thousand..."
Cao Hu: "Twenty thousand."
Everyone around him took a breath of cold air.
Tao Ruolin was shocked: "Are all the people from the Lake Girl tribe here?"
"The hostess." Cao Hu explained: "The host wanted to fight and was afraid of delaying the matter, so he picked the fastest 20,000 people. It must be more than 20,000. I didn't have time to count, so I counted 20,000. If it's not enough, I won't call again."
This time, Cao Hu's status rose steadily, and he was promoted from the second-tier staff to the first-tier staff.
If it were someone else, he would have seven thousand in his hand, which he claimed to be ten thousand, and twenty thousand in his hand, which would be said to be thirty thousand. Cao Hu was better, rounding up, it was more than twenty thousand, so just "count" it as twenty thousand.
Chu Qing's heart was pounding wildly: "How many people are there in your Lake City?"
Cao Hu showed a simple smile: "Twenty-one thousand people."
Chu Qing: "..."
With the sudden increase of 20,000 people, the plan must change. With only 20,000 people, there is no place to hide.
Chu Qing quickly asked Tan Ma to find Wen Ya, hoping to make a new plan.
After a while, Wen Ya ran over. Chu Qing got straight to the point: "Are there any other ambush positions? Find a few more. If that doesn't work, lure the enemy deeper. Don't fight at the beach. There are too few people."
Wen Ya frowned slightly: "Dudu is... worried, or scared?"
"What's the meaning?"
Wen Ya obviously misunderstood. Although she was slightly dissatisfied, she worded it and said: "If Dudu feels it is not safe, and others stay away, I, the boat division, will fight at the Jiao camp."
"Why stay away?"
"Didn't Dudu say the number of people was too small?"
Tao Ruolin smiled and said: "What Governor Chu means is that there are too few Japanese thieves."
"Too few Japanese thieves?" Wen Ya was confused: "How does Dudu know that the Japanese thieves have invading enemies?"
Chu Qing also understood, and explained with laughter and tears: "I don't know how many people there are in the Ying thieves, but I know that I now have more than 20,000 younger brothers. There is no way to hide more than 20,000 people."
Wen Ya had a geometric expression on her face: "Twenty thousand...where did the 20,000 reinforcements come from?"
"Old cousin from Lake City."
"Fanman?!"
Cao Hu shook his fist as big as a sandbag: "Who are you calling Fanman? My boss has already said that if anyone calls us Fanman again in front of us, we will break the dog's legs."
Wen Ya suddenly realized: "King Qi's rebel army, the Hunu tribe in Hucheng, came out in full force?!"
This time it was not Cao Hu who wanted to beat him, but Chen Yan who was ready to take action.
Chu Qing scolded: "There is so much nonsense, twenty thousand people, where can we hide it?"
Wen Ya remained silent for a while.
What else can we hide with these 20,000 people? Let’s not fight against the thieves. Let’s go directly and kill all the aristocratic families of Shang Yun Dao, and then go to the Zhoushi camp to kill the generals.
Just as Chu Qing was about to press the question again, Tanma shouted: "Dudu, there is a boat. It's coming from the north. It's a big boat. It's such a big boat."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and Chu Qing ran over quickly, shouting as he ran: "How big, how big is the boat?"
"What a big, big boat."
"How big is it?"
"It's... so damn big!" Tan Ma ran, opening his arms and gesturing with his hands.
Chu Qing didn't bother to ask any more questions, and quickly turned around and waved: "Hide, hide everyone, hurry up, enter the ambush point, prepare to take action."
Everyone is busy, it's time to put on armor, it's time to pick up a knife.
Wen Ya originally wanted to go back, but Tao Ruolin suddenly smiled and said: "How can General Wen come to the battle in person? Why not just watch the battle with Dudu?"
Wen Ya smiled silently and bitterly. He knew that Tao Ruolin was worried about him.
However, Wen Ya didn't say anything, nodded, and asked her personal followers to run back, informing Jiaoying's boat master that the sailors would continue to soak in the water and act like bastards.
Chu Qing and others quickly returned to the woods. Without thinking much, they directly gave the order to Wang Changchengyan, asking Lao Jiu and Cao Hu to lead the people from the Hunv tribe into the woods from the rear and circle around the two sides in a fan shape. , there are too many people, so we can only try to hide our figures.
It's worth mentioning that Chen Yan didn't look unhappy at all. He just said hello and ran back quickly with the others.
The coastline stretches as far as the eye can see. Although Tan Ma saw the ship, it would still take some time to reach Guocheng waters.
Chu Qing, who was squatting behind the big tree, inevitably became nervous.
He was not nervous about fighting, nor was he nervous about killing Japanese thieves. What he was nervous about was that he was afraid of letting any Japanese thieves go. If he let any Japanese thieves escape, he would feel as distressed as if he had lost a hundred thousand guan. The Japanese thieves, Killing one more person means doing one more good person and good deed. No amount is too much.
After waiting for a long time, a large ship appeared at the end of the line of sight, moving very slowly.
Tao Weiran squinted his eyes for a long time, looking a little confused: "Why are you walking close to the shore?"
Others are laymen and don’t know why.
Tao Weiran explained: "Although I don't have access to the coast, I have sailed many ships. If it is a Japanese bandit plundering a ship, it should go from the east to Guocheng waters, or to the north entrance to the sea. The ship is not a chariot or a horse, and the bigger it is, the more likely it is." , the less likely it is to get too close to the shore, even if it is a privateer, it will stop in the deeper waters, put down the boat, and the pirates will get on the boat and then row to the shore."
Chu Qing was half-comprehensive when he heard this.
But according to his understanding of himself, whenever he comes out to fight, if there is no accident, there will definitely be an accident.
Sure enough, as the big ship got closer and closer, Wen Ya blurted out: "It's not a Japanese privateer ship, but a Chang ship. No, it's a private ship, a wave-breaking ship. It's not a Japanese shipbuilding craft, it's built by us Chang people." A ship, a sea ship, a big sea-crossing ship!”
"Changzhou?!" Chu Qing's pupils narrowed: "The boat master's boat?"
"No, it's not a warship. Our naval division only has warships. This is... this is a sea ship."
Tao Ruolin asked: "The boat of the noble family?"
"should be."
Chu Qing sneered again and again: "Okay, then let's act like a serious Qianqi camp."
Wen Ya looked at Xiao Zhi beside her and asked in a low voice: "What does the serious Qianqi Camp mean? Isn't Dudu the commander-in-chief of the Qianqi Camp?"
Xiao Zhi chuckled: "The serious Qianqi Camp arrests people without asking for evidence. Dudu will arrest whoever he wants. Only the crooked Qianqi Camp will ask for evidence."
Wen Ya gave a slight oh, she was used to it.
Before, he felt that people from Changjing didn't understand the rules of the East China Sea.
Now, since he knew that Chu Qing could easily take out a million coins, plus he still had a blank imperial edict, and now that he heard that the serious Qianqi camp never gave evidence when arresting people, he realized it.
He thought Changjing guy didn't understand the rules of the East China Sea.
In fact, it is very likely that the Changjing guys headed by Chu Qing will not act according to the rules at all.
The corners of Wen Ya's mouth outlined an inexplicable arc.
Irregular, hehe, I like it very much.
