Han You arrived two days earlier than Wang Yunian expected. The latter did not expect that the former also arrived day and night without even stopping.
Two thousand cavalrymen were left in Youzhou, and Han You took five thousand with him. The five thousand cavalrymen were all fierce warriors, and their horses galloped like thunder.
Feng Bai took the lead, and 600 archers behind him quickly surrounded the Dongyun Dao Zhoushi camp. The archers had quivers on their backs and picked up five arrows, four arrows and one gunpowder arrow.
There are three campsites in total, and the other two are for storing baggage and work materials.
Zhou Xiao led two thousand cavalry to form a second layer of encirclement, which shocked the Marine Corps troops in the camp into panic.
Five thousand cavalry, not five thousand infantry, although they were rushing towards us, there was no sign of fatigue on their faces. They drew their bows, drew their swords, and unsheathed them, as if they were about to destroy the city in the next second.
There was no tension between the two sides at all, because one side was too elite and murderous, while the other side was too lax and panicked.
Han You rode forward without entering the camp, but waited patiently.
In the camp, there were already small flags, general flags, and captains running around shouting how the imperial soldiers and horses inspected the weapons.
Zhou Tong was a very brave man. He dismounted his horse and entered the camp with more than ten people, shouting at all the captains and generals to get out. The deputy commander of the naval division wanted to go alone. When I left the camp, I saw the three military commanders.
The soldiers are not stupid. A military inspector, even if it is the inspector of the entire line, the lower grade is the sixth grade, and the higher grade is the fifth grade. Although I have never heard of the three military inspectors, I think it is at most He is from the fourth or fifth grade, and the deputy commander of the boat division is from the third grade. Let a third-grade military commander go out of camp to meet a fourth-grade general, but he is still alone. It is clear that the person who comes is not good.
Cao Zhihu, who had a calm expression on his face, finally walked out of the camp, alone, his expression unchanged in the face of the eyeing cavalry on both sides.
When he arrived in front of Han You, Cao Zhihu couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that the swordsman of Yidaowei, who was famous all over the world, would be so young.
He didn't salute, just looked at Han You lightly.
"Deputy Commander Cao Zhihu."
Han You dismounted and smiled slightly: "You are still a bit bloody, dare to come out alone."
"Mr. Cao has met Commander Han."
"I have resigned from the post of commander of the emperor's personal army. Just call me Han Jianzheng."
Han You came to Cao Zhihu and looked him up and down: "You are older than I thought, much older."
"Jian Zheng is also younger than Mr. Cao imagined."
After finishing speaking, Cao Zhihu reached into his arms and took out a military talisman. It was the military talisman of the deputy commander of the Dongyun Dao Marine Division. With this military talisman, he could command all the Dongyun Dao Marine Corps troops and even temporarily take over Dongyun Dao during the war. Everywhere along the way, the military power of the government was broken.
Throwing the military talisman in his hand, Cao Zhihu said to himself: "Light, a lot lighter, like a feather. When I picked up this military talisman, it was obviously so heavy, but I don't know when it became so light."
"People's business."
Han You shrugged: "If you underestimate yourself, your military talisman will also be underestimated."
"What Jian Zheng said makes sense."
Cao Zhihu's face remained calm and he threw the military talisman to Han You.
A look of surprise flashed across Han You's eyes: "You're going to be captured without a fight?"
Cao Zhihu asked back: "A crime that can lead to death?"
"What do you think?"
"Implicating the nine clans?"
"Not really."
"That's good." Cao Zhihu breathed a sigh of relief: "Kill him now, or take him back to the capital?"
"Choose for yourself. Kill now. You will not be the only one who will die. There may be dozens, hundreds, or even the whole camp. Return to Beijing and live for a few more days, but you will be infamy for thousands of years."
"Cao wanted to be decent."
"How to be decent?"
"Give me a ship, a bow, and ten arrows. Mr. Cao wants to kill a few Ying people. Before I became the deputy commander of the navy, I thought I would kill many Ying people. It was only after I became the deputy commander of the navy that I realized , no Ying people can be killed, someone Cao doesn’t want to leave a legacy..."
Before he could finish the word "regret", there was a "pop" sound, and the riding whip hit Cao Zhihu's face, causing blood to flow out.
Cao Zhihu's body remained motionless, and his eyes did not even change once.
Han You was furious: "You fucking want to kill the Japanese thief now. What have you thought about? But you don't kill the Japanese thief when you can't. When you can't kill, you look like you want to die heroically. It's extremely hypocritical!"
"kneel!"
Lu Baichuan suddenly took action and kicked Cao Zhihu's knees. The latter fell to his knees on the ground, but he did not look embarrassed at all and still looked calm.
The long sword was unsheathed. Lu Baichuan grasped the handle tightly and said in a cold voice: "You want dignity. Who can give dignity to the people of the East China Sea? I will not give you dignity!"
Han You was convinced. If you don't give him some dignity, why don't you give me some respect? I'm just asking you questions. What the hell are you going to do? Just go up and chop him to death.
Wang Hai pulled away from Lu Baichuan, and Han You crouched down: "I was also a brave general back then. Tell me, tell me about your journey. Although I know you will definitely say that the environment is like this, and everyone is like this. You have to not join in. You will die without a burial place, but I still want to hear it, just for fun."
"Commander Yu was kind to Mr. Cao for being acquainted with him and for carrying his shoes, but he only had the strength to get some seniority, so he promoted Mr. Cao to the position of deputy commander of the navy."
Cao Zhihu stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and said calmly: "Cao's original name was not Cao Zhihu, but Cao Fucai. Commander Yu said that Cao would be promising in the future, and he might be able to become deputy commander or commander-in-chief. How can a promising deputy commander or commander be called Cao Fucai? The name is not impressive, so he changed his name to Cao."
"go on."
"Cao Fucai became Cao Zhihu, and Cao Zhihu became the personal school captain, the deputy general of Zhenhai Camp, the chief general of Shaking Wave Camp, and the deputy commander of Dongyun Dao Zhou Division..."
"When he became a personal escort to the school, Yu Shuai found a girl from a good family and married someone named Cao..."
"When he served as the deputy general of Zhenhaiying, Commander Yu bought a mansion for Cao in Mingcheng..."
"When I became the commander of Camp Shake Wave, Zhuo Jing became pregnant. Commander Yu took Cao's parents and relatives to the East China Sea to enjoy their family life..."
"When I became the deputy commander of the navy division..."
Having said this, Cao Zhihu smiled and looked at Han You: "Do you still want to hear it?"
"I don't think so anymore, but you can continue."
"Well, when I was a relative and a school captain, on the day of Mr. Cao's wedding, Tongcheng was in flames. Mr. Cao, who had not even eaten half a glass of water or wine, rode a fast horse to the seaside and dismounted to fight. He beheaded the horse with a broadsword. The twenty-third level of the Japanese thief was covered in blood when he returned home. He didn't notice that there was a piece of flesh hanging on his boot. Zhuo Jing saw it and had nightmares for several days..."
"When I was the deputy general of Zhenhaiying, the chief of the civil service came to take a merit test. Cao Cao had no money and was humiliated in every possible way. Zhuo Jing sold the valuable belongings at home, even the bronze mirror, and then he got it together. Eighty-one consistent three hundred and twenty-five articles were given to the head of the Ministry of Personnel..."
"When I was the commander of the camp, I hosted a banquet for my old brothers at home. The third young master of the Wu family in Mingcheng came with the squires from the city to congratulate him. Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were beautiful, he was scornful of them. Someone from Cao beat them up, and the third young master Wu reported it to the government. , the official’s sister-in-law, Yang Hua, saw the handsome young master Wu San and was very courteous. The younger brother and sister were beaten with sticks and became disabled. They had the reputation of being sluts and committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well..."
"When I was the deputy commander of the Dongyundao Marine Division, I led sixteen warships to defend this place. I was about to fight against the Ying privateers. Commander Yu personally came with me and told me not to stop them. I refused, so I followed my words. Cao My wife, children, old and young have been placed under house arrest. If I stop them, I will kill Mr. Cao’s entire family..."
"The commander gave up the sea route, and after disembarking, he returned to his home. His wife, children, and children were all there, but... it was just that Zhuo Jing reconciled with Mr. Cao and left the East China Sea with Mr. Cao's daughter. After that..."
Han You stood up and said: "After that, you, Cao Zhihu, became the well-known lackey of Yingdao in the Three East China Sea Paths, and became the wealthy general of Lanshan Academy. The Marine Corps has become the most cowardly and useless camp in the camp, right?"
Sighing, Han You looked a little bored: "Sure enough, there is nothing new. Do you know what His Majesty thinks of you?"
Cao Zhihu suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning.
"Your Majesty said, how come I, the young tiger of the Zhou Donghai Marine Corps, have become a hungry wolf raised by Japanese thieves?"
With a "wow" sound, Cao Zhihu cried loudly and grabbed the ground with his head.
"Last question, why did you surrender?"
"Here, it is too close to Yingdao, but there is no Yingdao warship. Here, it is too far from the capital, but the sharp blade of the capital has arrived at the door."
"That's it, okay."
Han You nodded slightly to Lu Baichuan.
The long knife was waved, blood splashed, and the head fell on the sand, with tears on his face.
The emperor Zhou Ke's words ended Cao Zhihu's life. Why did the powerful captain of the boat division who was supposed to protect his family and country become a hawk and lackey kept by the enemy? This sentence was full of regret and contempt.
