When Li Laiheng heard this, he immediately looked up.
Sure enough, the shadow of the fleet appeared on the sea.
Upon seeing this, Li Laiheng immediately became excited. His eyes were fixed on the silhouette of the boat in the distance, staring motionlessly, trying to find the figure he wanted to see.
However, the ship is still just a shadow, how can he see the person he wants to see!
Slowly, the fleet finally got closer and closer.
The soldiers and civilians of the entire Pi Island were in a stir.
The arrival of the fleet will not only bring food and grass, but also reinforcements. No matter what it is, it deserves their warm welcome!
On the deck of the ship at the front of the fleet, Li Guo was holding on to the side of the ship. His face was a little pale, and he was trying to keep his eyes wide open and stare at the figures on the island.
The excitement is very obvious.
"Commander Zheng, can you hurry up?"
Hearing Li Guo's request, Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but smile and said: "Why are you in a hurry? Pi Dao is right in front of you. How long is it? Let me tell you, you are weak from vomiting. You have to rest. Be careful not to stand still." , what should I do if I fall into the sea?"
Generally speaking, people who are used to bumping on horseback are less likely to get seasick.
However, Li Guo and others were all born outlaws and were from Shaanxi, so they had seen the sea!
This was my first time taking a boat ride. It was fine when the wind and waves were light, but when the waves got stronger, it started to suffer over time.
Fortunately, there are rest islands along the way to rest. If we sail directly to Phi Island, it is estimated that many people will not be able to see Phi Island.
But even so, Li Guo still vomited many times, and his pale face was the best proof of his physical weakness.
Hearing Zheng Hongkui's joke, Li Guo turned back to look at him and explained with a smile: "I just thought that I would never see him again in the future, but I didn't expect that we would see him again one day. For a moment, I felt a little lost. Marshal Zheng, you are laughing!"
Officials with formal background may have contempt for Li Guo. However, Zheng Hongkui was a pirate and Li Guo was a bandit. They were equally matched, so there was no discrimination at all. When he heard what he said, he immediately laughed and said, "I was just joking. This is human nature. Don't worry. It’ll be there soon.”
Of course Li Guo knew he was joking, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I have been waiting for so many days, so there is no rush now."
When he said this, he suddenly became a little worried again, and asked Zheng Hongkui: "They won't leave the island to fight against the invaders, right? That guy has always been desperate for his life. Is there anything..."
Zheng Hongkui was speechless. He was rational just now, but now he is worried again?
It’s true that when you meet someone you care about, even if the person in front of you has been on the battlefield for many years, your heart will be in a state of confusion!
So, he replied with a smile: "No, I heard before I left that Jianlu monitored Pi Island very strictly, and the weak troops on the island could not pose a fatal threat to Jianlu in Liaodong. Therefore, On the Pidao side, threats have always been the main focus before, and the most practical actions were only against North Korea."
"That's good!" After hearing this, Li Guo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Pidao, which was getting closer and closer. He could vaguely hear the cheers coming from Pidao.
Thinking that he would see Li Laiheng in a while, Li Guo couldn't help but get excited again. He turned back to Zheng Hongkui and asked with a little worry: "Do you think Jianlu will set up an ambush in North Korea?" If they come ashore, if..."
"..." Zheng Hongkui was speechless. What happened again?
Speechless, he also knew very well that the relationship between the deputy general in front of him and Uncle Liao Dong was really good! Otherwise, a grown man would not be so rude!
Thinking of this, Zheng Hongkui didn't joke this time, but opened his eyes wide and tried hard to see the figures on the island.
After all, he left from Pidao. Compared with Li Lai, it was easier to tell from his clothes.
Therefore, after watching for a while, he pointed his finger and said to Li Guo: "Look, that one over there should be Uncle Liao Dong!"
"Where?" Upon hearing this, Li Guo quickly opened his eyes and looked around, asking.
At this time, only vague shadows could be seen, and Zheng Hongkui could only distinguish them based on the color of their clothes.
All the people in Pi Island came out to welcome them. It was a huge crowd of people. Li Guo didn't find anything for a while, but it didn't stop him from getting excited again.
So Zheng Hongkui pointed at the figure on the shore and started talking.
……………………
On the Pidao side, seeing the fleet getting closer, Li Laiheng was also worried about gains and losses.
I have dreamed about my adoptive father many times, but every dream was not good. I either dreamed that my adoptive father was implicated by me and was killed by Li Zicheng, or I dreamed that my adoptive father was killed.
Although Li Laiheng's desertion and defection was obviously supported by Li Guo, he also knew in his heart that his departure would definitely implicate Li Guo. Not to mention, Li Guo also wanted to be recruited, but Li Zicheng was his biological uncle, and Li Guo valued love and righteousness, so this was actually a deadlock.
For this reason, Li Laiheng dreamed that Li Guo was dead many times.
And after he came to Dongjiang, the news was even cut off.
Suddenly, he was extremely excited to hear that Li Guo had become an official of the imperial court and came to Dongjiang.
He tried his best to keep his eyes open, looking for a familiar figure based on the impression from two years ago.
At this time, the ship was getting closer and closer, and the people on the ship slowly saw it clearly.
Suddenly, Li Guo's eyes stopped moving and he stared at a voice on the first ship without moving.
Suddenly, he jumped up, waved his pen, and shouted excitedly: "Father, foster father..."
The guards and supervisors around him were all startled by him. Turning to look at him, I saw that he didn't care about his Uncle Liaodong, the commander of Dongjiang, and showed such a rude side. I couldn't help but laugh: I didn't expect that the brave Uncle Liaodong on the battlefield would have such a sincere side!
Soon, the man on the boat obviously noticed Li Laiheng and started waving as well.
When Li Laiheng saw it, he was sure of it and was very happy. But suddenly, Li Guo on the boat shook, and when he fell, he was startled.
Fortunately, Li Guo on the boat quickly stood up again and continued to wave to him.
When Li Laiheng saw this, he could no longer hold back and rushed to the dock, eager to meet his adoptive father.
The ship slowly docked, and the people on and off the ship were clearly visible.
Li Laiheng was running by the pier. If he took another step forward, he would fall into the sea. He stared at the pale-faced Li Guo, with tears streaming down his face. He suddenly knelt down and shouted loudly: "Father!"
Li Guo never thought that he would shed tears one day after seeing so many separations of life and death.
Realizing this, he quickly wiped it with his sleeve, fearing that it would block his view of Li Laiheng.
At this moment, the only one in his eyes was Li Laiheng!
Before the boat could stop, he wanted to go ashore.
After leaving the side of the ship, his weak body immediately became unstable. Zheng Hongkui, who was beside him, was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to support him.
Don't forget that when it docked, the ship shook and Li Guo was thrown into the sea. That would be funny!
Finally, the ship docked and the planks were set up. With Zheng Hongkui's help, Li Guo staggered ashore and immediately hugged Li Laiheng.
Li Laiheng also hugged Li Guo, with tears streaming down his face and speechless.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the boat and on the shore was looking at them. The warm cheers suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of the flag blowing in the sea breeze.
Many people did not expect that they would see this scene in front of them. Uncle Liao Dong, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town actually shed tears in public.
Gao Yigong, who was on the boat behind, was also pale, but looked at all this with an excited smile.
If it were a year ago, I would never have thought that I would see the scene before me.
Things in the world are changing so much that it’s really hard to predict!
Li Guo came to his senses first, and acted as if Li Laiheng was still a child. He wiped away his tears and said happily: "From now on, we will serve the country together. This is a great joy!"
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly whispered: "These are all your subordinates, don't let others laugh at you, you will lose your prestige!"
Li Laiheng listened and said nonchalantly: "They dare!"
Although he said this, he finally calmed down a lot, so he quickly supported Li Guo and said, "Father, let me help you go to rest quickly."
Li Guo accepted his filial piety, smiled and whispered: "Don't worry, they are all old brothers from the past. You have to behave as you should!"
When Li Laiheng heard this, he smiled a little sheepishly.
Afterwards, warm cheers rang out again on the Pier of Pidao.
Amidst the cheers, many soldiers and civilians on the island began to discuss their commander-in-chief in a low voice.
When they understood what was going on, not only did they not laugh at Li Laiheng, but they all respected Li Laiheng even more.
There is no other reason than love and justice! This is enough to impress them!
When the welcome was over and the generals gathered together, Li Guo conveyed Duke Xingguo's military order: requiring Dongjiang Town to take advantage of the sudden increase in troops to catch Jianlu by surprise. The purpose is not to recover the city, but to effectively attack or even eliminate the effective forces of the built captives.
As for how to do it, it is up to Li Laiheng to decide based on the specific situation.
I have to say that the addition of five thousand cavalry troops is definitely a strong military strength.
Li Laiheng had been holding back because of his limited troops. Now that not only were there reinforcements, but the navy also brought food and fodder, he suddenly became excited and immediately stated the goal he had already set: Seoul!
Jianlu has garrisoned troops, and North Korea has betrayed the Ming Dynasty. It's time to take action!
So, he immediately sent an order for the leader of the Korean volunteers to rush to Pi Island to discuss matters.
When the Dongjiang Army began to prepare for war, on the third day of September in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, smoke suddenly came out of the Ming Dynasty Capital Academy, and there was also some strange noise.
