Never compromise, never compromise with thieves.
This is the bottom line that Han You must adhere to when he comes to the East China Sea, the lowest bottom line.
The East China Sea has become like this because of compromise. Too many people compromised, compromised on Yingdao, and the group of people who compromised on Yingdao compromised. In the end, the three roads of the East China Sea became the back garden of Yingdao.
To put it nicely, it’s called compromise, but to put it bluntly, it’s just greed for life and fear of death, greed for money, and wanting to get promoted and get rich!
Han You knew better than anyone else that the only consequence of compromising with these beasts was to drink poison to quench their thirst and end up dead.
Compromise may bring about short-term peace, but it will definitely pay a greater price in the near future. This is a bloody lesson that history has proven time and time again, and a bloody fact that has been proven countless times.
However, what Han You didn't know was that there was only one envoy ship but more than one envoy.
Just in case, Shen Jianbo put down several small boats and went to other sea areas before arriving here. After landing, he changed his clothes and went to Beijing incognito to meet the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and the court ministers.
Hanyou's reputation has already spread through the sea to Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, including Yingdao.
Even these foreign countries knew Han You's attitude towards Yingdao. It was precisely because of this that Shen Jianbo sent another wave of envoys.
It can be seen from this that Shen Jianbo is not a reckless man, but he did not expect that Han You was really reckless.
Seeing that Han You was about to board the ship, miscellaneous soldiers came to report. The scouts outside the camp saw a pair of people and horses three miles away. There were not many people, less than a hundred people, most of them were carriages.
Not knowing where he was coming from, Han You asked someone to stop him and ask, while he went to wait at the entrance of the camp.
The identity was clear. Han You was an official from Beijing, sent by the imperial court. Han You didn't recognize 99% of the names on the roster. The remaining 11% he thought he knew, but in fact he was familiar with the name just by looking at it, and had no impression of the person.
Han You, who didn't understand why, asked people to let him go. When the convoy arrived, an old man in rich clothes took the lead and got off the first carriage.
Han You was stunned. He knew this old man.
"This is not that...whose family is older and what is their name?"
Wang Hai reminded: "Master Li Dao, former Minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Li."
It was Li Daozhi, who had nominally retired, and the elder Huang took over the position.
Except for Li Daozhi, a group of people wearing official robes came down from the carriage behind, most of them were young people, the oldest was in his early thirties.
Han You didn't know the others, but he knew Lao Li. He had kicked his grandson before.
Walking up quickly, Han You suppressed his confusion and saluted.
Li Daozhi nodded with a smile: "Nephew Han Shi."
This "nephew" was called quite awkward. Han You had no friendship with him at all when they were in Beijing and had never had any personal contact with him.
"Sir." Han You was extremely confused: "You...why did you come to the East China Sea?"
Li Daozhi did not speak immediately, but looked at the camp behind and the warships on the sea, and nodded repeatedly.
"We're off to a winning start, not bad, not bad, not bad."
Li Daozhi withdrew his gaze and said cheerfully: "I was entrusted by someone to help you, as for those people behind you."
After a pause, Li Daozhi whispered: "After His Majesty learned that you resisted thirty thousand Japanese thieves and warships, he was deeply afraid that if the East China Sea became chaotic due to a war, the manpower around you would not be enough, so he Order the three provinces and the Ministry of Rites to search for capable ministers and officials from all walks of life in the country and summon them to the capital. After receiving the holy orders, they will go to the East China Sea to be sent by you."
Han You suddenly realized it and felt warm in his heart.
Or it could be said that Lao Ba is still a righteous person.
Han You did bring a lot of people here, but the motives of these people were not pure. They just came to get promoted and make money. It cannot be said that they have no ability, so they are definitely not the best choice.
Lao Ba, who was far away in Beijing, was worried that Han You didn't have enough manpower. After all, Nuoda's three roads needed to be steady and steady, so he asked the three provinces and the Ministry of Rites to carefully select and send all the capable people.
"I understand. Your Majesty is so kind to me. I will always remember this deeply."
After saying polite words, Han You was still confused: "So, Sir, are you coming to the East China Sea?"
"Entrusted by others."
Li Daozhi stroked his beard and smiled, smiling very proudly.
"Originally, I have retired and returned to my hometown to live a peaceful old age, but there are old friends in the capital who are worried that something has gone wrong with you, so I have been asked to come and help you."
"Beijing..." Han You said uncertainly: "The old friend you are talking about is Da Lao... No, is it Huang Shangshu?"
"good."
Li Daozhi's smile faded and he said seriously: "The chaos in the East China Sea is caused by the boat division. Yu Yunyao, who is in charge of the boat division, is not a good man and a believer. He is as cunning as a fox. He is also the number one person in the naval battle of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although you have a great reputation, Han You He is illustrious but has little experience. Who else can this great Zhou Dynasty compete with Yu Yunyao in a fight with me? I am just..."
"no."
Han You didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Please wait a moment, Yu Yunyao..."
"Eh!"
Li Daozhi waved his hand to interrupt Han You: "Don't be too pretentious. Although you have killed 30,000 Japanese thieves, you must not be arrogant and complacent. Yu Yunyao's reputation is not in vain."
"Yu Yunyao is a calm man, that's right. There is no need to consider him now. The boat master has been..."
Li Daozhi interrupted Han You for the second time and started to frown: "Why are you so ignorant, kid? Or do you think I am old and useless?"
"No, no." Han You waved his hands repeatedly. After all, he had good intentions and had come all this way because of someone else's request. Moreover, Li Daozhi was indeed a well-known battle veteran.
Han You said bluntly: "Yu Yunyao has been arrested."
Li Daozhi shook his head: "You have a lot of ambitions. Even if I try to restrain him once or twice, I will only be 50% sure if I try my best. If you want to capture him alive, I don't dare to take this guarantee."
"No, your ears...I'm not talking about being captured alive, but already alive..."
Seeing that the old man was a bit deaf, Han You was too lazy to explain. He pointed to the tallest flagpole in the distance and said, "Look at what it is."
Han You has already thought about it. If this old man is not only deaf but also lame, he should send him away quickly. Isn't this just adding trouble?
Li Daozhi followed Han You's hand and narrowed his eyes: "Who is hanging there?"
"Yu Yunyao."
"Which Yu Yunyao?"
"There is only one Yu Yunyao in the East China Sea. Isn't that the former commander-in-chief of the boat division?"
"What?" Li Daozhi finally reacted, with a dull look on his face: "Caught alive?"
"Well, I've been catching it for a long time. This Lao Deng is old and a little calcium deficient. He needs to be exposed to the sun every day to replenish calcium."
Li Daozhi's old face was full of disbelief. Just as he was about to lift his legs and run over, he seemed to remember something and suddenly realized something.
"Your father took action?"
"Well, my father caught him."
"No wonder."
Li Daozhi became indifferent and smiled again: "Yes, the only ones in Manzhou who can capture Yu Yunyao alive are your father and my husband."
Han You: "..."
Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui looked at each other and were embarrassed to speak.
Just now, I said that you are the only one who can fight with Yu Yunyao in the Manzhou Dynasty. Now that the old coffin has been captured, you and General Han are the only ones that the Manzhou Dynasty can capture alive.
"This is a rarity."
Li Daozhi laughed and walked over with his hands behind his back: "I'm going to insult you personally... No, I'm going to see it with my own eyes."
