() At this time, everyone was leaning against the edge of the tower. Yuan Chongshang raised his finger and pointed at Yusuo Lake, and said with a smile: "Master Chu, you can see Yusuo Lake from here. Look, here is our Anyi. Great Lakes."

The panoramic view is a bit exaggerated, but Chu Huan can roughly see the outline of Yusuo Lake. The boats scattered by the lake are like ants at this time, and the figures on the shore are dodging like dense black spots. Chu Huan knew that Fang Shihao was ordering troops to board the boat, and let these landlubbers get used to the feeling of being on the boat.

Looking far away, you can vaguely see the two islands in the middle of Yusuo Lake, which are quite far from the shore, and can be seen vaguely, but you can also vaguely see the dark shadows around the islands, which seem to be Huang's boats .

"Your Excellency Chu is known for his talent." The head of the Ministry of Household Affairs next to him bowed his body and smiled, "My lord has passed the three tests in the Iron Blood Garden, and has a brilliant literary talent. With this opportunity, why don't you show your literary talent and compose a poem? "

All the people around immediately said: "That's right, that's good, the imperial envoy has outstanding literary talents, and I invite you to compose poems!"

Chu Huan immediately waved his hands and said with a smile: "You guys are making fun of me. Poems and songs are really not my favorite. If you are interested in elegance, you might as well show your skills."

Everyone was naturally smiling, but Yuan Chongshang already laughed and said: "Since your mothers-in-law and mothers are not coming, I will compose a poem!"

Everyone was stunned, everyone knew that Yuan Chongshang was from a warrior, and he was not very literate. They really didn't expect that at this time, the Governor-General would have the pleasure to write poems, everyone felt incredible.

Yuan Chongshang stroked his thick beard, thought for a while, and finally said: "There is a lake in front of you, and the lake is white. The white water turns red, and it's not in vain!"

Everyone was startled, but Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "What do you guys think of Ben Du's poem?"

The master master bit his bullet and said: "My lord's poems are full of murderous spirit between the lines. They are really beyond ordinary people's ability to compose. A sentence is not in vain for a man, and it is... even more heroic!"

Everyone can only agree and praise.

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said: "Everyone sit down first, we will not go back to the city tonight, we will stay in this tower, and we will rest when we get drunk!" Turning around and entering the table, after everyone took their seats, someone came up from downstairs The hot delicacies, when all the officials push the cups and place the cups, and give orders with fists, they are having a good time drinking and chatting on the lake viewing platform.

Chu Huan felt a little strange. The banquet on the viewing platform seemed to have been prepared in advance. Before that, Chu Huan only thought that Yuan Chongshang took him upstairs to have a look, but looking at the meaning now, the governor seemed to be They were really planning to drink and feast all night on this tower. After drinking for three rounds, two singers were even brought up to the tower to play the piano and sing for everyone.

It was already dark, but lanterns had been hung around the tower, and the night wind by the lake was colder than in the city, but everyone had fine wine in hand, so naturally they wouldn't feel the cold.

The construction site did not stop working because of the arrival of night. Torches were lit everywhere, and the fire was brightly lit. The construction site was still busy. Chu Huan could see it clearly from the tower, not only this side of the mountain, but the entire Yusuo Lake There were fires shining in all directions, and it could be judged from the fires that Yusuo Lake was indeed surrounded.

Among the officials, those who were less able to drink were already slurring their speech. Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang both had good drinking capacity. Both of them drank several pots of wine, but they still didn't feel drunk at all.

Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from the stairs of the tower building, and seeing Fang Shihao coming out of the stairs, Yuan Chongshang raised his hand and said with a smile: "Fang Tongzhi, come here, let's have a drink together!"

Fang Shihao came forward, sat down beside Yuan Chongshang, and said, "My lord, the general has already transferred the officers and soldiers who were the main attackers to the ship, and the general has ordered that from today until the capture of Yusuo Lake, this will be done. The helper will stay on board for food and lodging."

Yuan Chongshang said with a smile: "My governor is always at ease when you do things." He filled the wine himself, brought the glass to Fang Shihao, and said, "Come on, Fang Tongzhi, you should finish this glass of wine first!"

Fang Shihao hurriedly said: "The last general dare not!"

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said: "The governor ordered you to drink it. You are the governor's confidant and beloved general, and you are the vanguard general of the governor to suppress Yusuo Lake. Naturally, the governor will toast you first, whether he is in court or not." Take this governor's elite soldiers and capture Yusuo Lake in one fell swoop."

Fang Shihao immediately stood up, took Yuan Chongshang's wine glass, held it in both hands, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Governor, as long as you give an order, the general will lead the elite soldiers under his command to wipe out the Huang family's chaotic party!"

"Okay, okay!" Yuan Chongshang clapped his hands and laughed, watched Fang Shihao drink up the wine in the glass, got up, took Fang Shihao's arm, walked aside, whispered, Chu Huan turned his head to look over, saw Yuan Chongshang Fang Shihao After Hao whispered a few words, Fang Shihao's expression changed slightly, and he was suddenly curious, wondering what Yuan Chongshang said to Fang Shihao secretly.

After a while, Fang Shihao returned to the table with Yuan Chongshang, and Yuan Chongshang sat down, but Fang Shihao did not sit down, but cupped his hands and said to the crowd: "Everyone, the military is busy, everyone, drink slowly!" Without saying much, he bowed his hands to Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan, and left quickly.

The teacher couldn't help but asked: "Why did Fang Tongzhi leave in such a hurry? What important military affairs are there in the middle of the night?"

However, Yuan Chongshang had already raised his glass and said, "Master, Master Chu, according to the order of the sage, wants to confiscate the assets of the Huang family. This kind of thing, the governor does not understand, but you are the head of the household department, and you must obey Master Chu in all matters." If there is a mistake in dispatching, Master Chu will forgive you magnanimously, but the Governor will not forgive you!"

The teacher hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with Master Chu to complete the confiscation affairs."

Yuan Chongshang laughed, and then picked up the wine glass again, just for a moment, the tower was full of laughter again.

"Lord Chu, what do you think the Huang family's rebellious party in Yusuo Lake is doing now?" Yuan Chongshang drank another two jugs of wine.

Chu Huan asked back with a smile, "Does the governor know what they are doing?"

Yuan Chongshang shook his glass and said, "In the cold night of winter, I'm afraid I'm already asleep." Putting down the glass, he stretched his waist, "If it wasn't for today's interest, Ben Du would have already fallen asleep in bed by this time gone."

On this point, Chu Huan somewhat agrees. In the cold winter season, and it's midnight, for most people, the best place to go is naturally under the warm blanket.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "If it was me, I should be on the bed by this time."

Yuan Chongshang smiled and said: "Today, I brought Master Chu here to suffer, Master Chu, don't mind." Leaning close to Chu Huan's ear, he asked in a low voice: "Master Chu, you said that we are building ships here, especially building Four warships, does the Huang family know about this?"

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said, "I'm afraid they have gotten some wind."

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "That's right, it's not just rumors, Ben Du even thinks that Huang Tianyi now has the blueprints of Ben Du's four warships in his hands, and he probably knows more about the four warships Ben Du is building than Ben Du ...!" At this moment, half of the officials were drunk, some were leaning on chairs, some were lying on the table, in a daze, but Yuan Chongshang had already got up, with his hands behind his back, and walked to the edge of the tower railing, Looking at Yusuo Lake, the sky was pitch black at this time, and only a few fires could be seen, but the scene of Yusuo Lake could no longer be seen. Chu Huan followed Yuan Chongshang to the side of the railing, the cold night wind blowing on his face, Chu Huan Huan actually felt a burst of relief.

"Lord Chu, do you think that once the four warships of Ben Du are built, will Yusuo Lake be breached soon?" Yuan Chongshang was silent for a while, and finally looked at Chu Huan.

Chu Huan thought for a while, and then said: "Water has no normal state, and soldiers have no constant momentum. In any war, no one can determine who will win and who will lose before the result is known."

Yuan Chongshang nodded and said: "Master Chu is right." Lowering his voice, he said softly: "In fact, even if the four warships are really built, they may not be Huang Tianyi's opponents!"

Chu Huan was taken aback.

Yuan Chongshang has already said slowly: "The imperial guards are not good at water warfare. In the whole Anyi Road, there is no navy army familiar with water warfare. Although there are only 3000 people in the Huang family, most of them are excellent in water. Cao boats and oars are very familiar with the road, and the imperial guards are far behind in this point. The governor is worried that even if the four warships are built, there may not be skilled sailors using the warships to fight against the Huang family. Fight to the death...!"

At this moment, Xuanyuan Sheng who was beside him suddenly said: "My lord, look...!"

Chu Huan turned his head to look, but saw Xuanyuan Shengcai pointing to the lake, looking in the direction he pointed, Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "The lights on the boat, all the lights are off...!"

It was only then that Chu Huan realized that the boats by the lake were all lit with lights, but at this time, apart from a little light on the shore, the boats in the lake were pitch black without any lights.

Chu Huan frowned, suddenly realized something, looked at Yuan Chongshang, but saw Yuan Chongshang's expression was calm, with his hands resting on the railing, he heard him continue: "The imperial guards are good at nothing in the water, but as long as On land, the Huang family is not an opponent at all." Pointing to the dark Yusuo Lake, "As long as the soldiers and horses of the governor land on Taiping Island and Liyu Island, the Huang family's rebellious party will be lambs waiting to be slaughtered, vulnerable to a single blow ...!" At this point, he turned to Chu Huan and said with a smile, "Lord Chu, when we fight, we have to make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. This governor has been building ships arbitrarily. Everyone thought that this governor was going to fight the Huang family together in the water battle." It will be a decisive battle, but from the very beginning, Ben Du never thought of fighting Huang Tianyi."

Chu Huan suddenly realized, and sighed: "Your Excellency has made a big effort to build a ship, and even spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build four warships. All of this is to confuse the opponent."

"Everyone thinks that the governor is going to fight Huang Tianyi, so Huang Tianyi will naturally think so." Yuan Chongshang stroked his thick beard and said, "He always thought that the governor's four warships were not built, so he would not dare to fight him. First World War, so he must have thought that the day of the battle was the time when the four warships were launched...!" A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But since Bendu didn't plan to fight in water, naturally he wouldn't wait for the four warships to launch into the water...!" The ship is ready...Master Chu, do you think Huang Tianyi would have thought that the day of the decisive battle set by the governor will be...today?"
