() Chu Huan can control his emotions most of the time, but at this moment, his face is already a little ugly, and Yuan Chongshang looked at each other with a serious expression, and asked: "Is the governor planning to make a surprise attack tonight?" Jade Lock Lake?"

Yuan Chongshang nodded and smiled and said, "That's right." Pointing to Yusuo Lake, "Fang Tong's troops have already left the shore and are heading towards Yusuo Lake. Master Chu, if there are no accidents, we will wait until dawn. You can celebrate."

Chu Huan said solemnly: "But my lord didn't tell me about attacking Yusuo Lake in advance."

Yuan Chongshang said with a trace of apology: "Master Chu, don't be surprised. In the future, the governor will hold a banquet to make amends for you. To be honest, the governor was with the holy one at the beginning, and he fought in the south and north, but he also learned how to fight. There is a saying in the military law that you can catch people by surprise. The Huang family seems to have a small number of people, but it is actually not easy to deal with. If you want to defeat them in one fell swoop, you can only be Using unexpected means...!"

Chu Huan sighed: "Your Excellency's move may have deceived everyone."

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "If you want to be surprised, you have to do it so that everyone can't think of it. The opponent can't think of it, and your own people can't think of it too... Mr. Chu, it's not that the governor can't trust you, it's just that this battle was planned as early as the governor. Among them, even Fang Tongzhi has just received the military order from the governor, so don't be angry, Lord Chu, and the governor will accompany you to have a few more drinks at the celebration banquet tomorrow."

Chu Huan cast his eyes on the pitch-black Yusuo Lake, remained silent for a moment, and finally asked: "Your Excellency, the battle tonight is naturally inevitable."

"The imperial guards under the governor can't fight in the water, but as long as they land on the island, the Huang family will be vulnerable." Yuan Chongshang said very confidently: "Master Chu doesn't know that the Huang family has been spreading in Taiyuan City. He has an eyeliner, and he knows many things about the government, so the governor must be cautious in his actions. However, his eyeliner is in Taiyuan City, and the governor also has an eyeliner in Yusuo Lake. The governor has already received the report. People and horses also thought that the governor would never attack the island in the near future. In their view, the governor would not fight them until the four warships were built. Because of this, the rebels on the island have recently been very lax in their vigilance. .”

"It turns out that the adults also have eyeliner on the island?"

"With so much money, is there no brave man?" Yuan Chongshang said with some pride, "The rebellious party on the island has become accustomed to the bright lights around Yusuo Lake, and most of them have already fallen asleep at this moment... ...Fang Tong led his troops into two groups and went straight to the two islands. The number of troops besieging Yusuo Lake exceeded [-], but the governor had already quietly deployed half of his troops here before, and the other three sides were just bluffing. Du will launch an attack from the east tonight, as long as they land on the island...!" At this point, he didn't go on, but the meaning is self-evident.

As long as they avoid the water battle with the Huang family on the lake and kill the two islands by surprise, the Huang family is naturally no match.

Only then did Chu Huan understand that Yuan Chongshang's wanton building of ships was nothing more than to confuse the Huang family, making the Huang family mistakenly think that Yuan Chongshang would only launch an attack when the warship was repaired.

His subordinates suggested that building ships should be far away from Yusuo Lake, so as not to get too much information from the Huang family, but Yuan Chongshang claimed that doing so was to put pressure on the Huang family, which of course was just a cover-up.

In the cold night of winter, perhaps no one would have thought that Yuan Chongshang would suddenly launch an attack. Today, he brought many officials, including imperial envoys, to Yusuo Lake in the name of inspecting the construction site. His real purpose is probably to make everyone Witnessed this battle that he had planned with his own eyes.

The night wind was bleak, and there seemed to be a hint of howling in the wind, and the construction site was still ping-pong, as if rushing to work.

Chu Huan couldn't see what the officers and soldiers were doing now. The surface of Yusuo Lake was pitch black, and he could only vaguely see the two islands in the lake glowing with fire.

Yuan Chongshang took Chu Huan's hand and said with a smile: "Master Chu, this wine is not finished yet, let's continue drinking." He smiled at Xuanyuan Sheng and said, "General Xuanyuan, come, let's have a few more drinks." Several people sat down After sitting down, Yuan Chongshang turned to Xuanyuan Sheng and asked with a smile: "General Xuanyuan came to Taiyuan, and he was busy with Master Chu every day, so he couldn't sit and chat properly. By the way, how is the old Duke?"

Of course Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Sheng knew who the "Old Duke" Yuan Chongshang referred to.

In the empire, only Duke An and Duke Ding are called old Dukes, Duke Ang Huang Ju has fallen, and naturally only Duke Ding Xuanyuan Pingzhang is left.

Xuanyuan Sheng just nodded and said: "My lord Governor is concerned, my uncle is in good health. But he is old, and his old injuries often recur. He has been recuperating at home for many years and rarely goes out for a walk."

Yuan Chongshang sighed: "The old man is both civil and military. He is not only good at fighting, but also good at managing money. The governor still remembers that when he was with the old man, he was given many pointers by the old man. Now that he thinks about it, it seems like It happened yesterday."

Xuanyuan Sheng said with a smile: "Uncle also mentioned the Governor. The Governor followed the Holy One all the way to the East and resolved many crises. The Holy One created the Great Qin Dynasty. The Governor also contributed a lot!"

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said: "If the credit is indispensable, the old Duke's credit is the most important. The Holy One was divided into two groups, one was led by the Holy Father to lead the army to the east, and the west was to be handed over to General Feng. And the old Duke, General Feng and the old Duke supported each other, cooperated tacitly, and triumphed all the way during the western expedition...!" At this point, he shook his head and sighed: "The Holy One really knows people with eyes. After all, the Holy Majesty finally chose General Feng and the old Duke. Both of them lived up to the high expectations of the Holy Majesty, but it is a pity that General Feng... Hey, the old Duke and General Feng have always been friends. Very sad."

Xuanyuan Sheng sighed: "After the uncle heard the news of General Feng's death, he didn't eat for several days. The two of them walked out of the blood together, so the relationship is naturally extraordinary."

Chu Huan asked: "I heard that when the Western Expedition started, General Feng was in charge of dispatching the army and commanding the troops to fight, and the old Duke was in charge of logistics?"

Xuanyuan Sheng nodded and said: "Yes, General Feng fought bravely and was invincible. My uncle collected food, grass and luggage for him, so that General Feng would not have to worry about the future. Back then, there were eighteen countries in the world, and the Northwest dominated five countries. Our Great Qin army led by General Feng Next, defeat the Five Kingdoms, the remnants of the Five Kingdoms retreat all the way to the west, General Feng pursues all the way, and finally wipe out all the remnants of the Five Kingdoms...!"

Yuan Chongshang laughed out loud, Chu Huan remained silent, but he could see that although Yuan Chongshang was chatting here, he shifted his gaze to the dark Yusuo Lake from time to time. Obviously, he seemed calm, but in fact My heart is also tense.

Many officials were already asleep, even snoring. The three of them seemed to be talking and laughing, but their moods were different.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a noisy sound mixed with the wind. Yuan Chongshang was the first to get up when he heard the sound, and walked quickly to the edge of the tower railing. Chu Huan also got up, Followed the past, but at this time, I saw the shadows of people on the shore of the lake. There were bursts of exclamations in the wind, and Xuanyuan Shengcai had already sounded beside him: "Then... what's going on?"

Xuanyuan Sheng didn't need to say it, both Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan had already seen the astonishing scene.

I don't know when, in Yusuo Lake, the flames were soaring into the sky. Looking from afar, I saw that Yusuo Lake seemed to be burning, and the flames were raging, illuminating the surface of Yusuo Lake extremely brightly.

Yuan Chongshang's face was dull at this time, and Chu Huan's brows were already locked together.

The raging fire is burning the ship.

Chu Huan could see that in Yusuo Lake, countless ships were burning in raging flames, and the sounds coming from the wind became more and more clear, most of which were heart-piercing screams.

Yuan Chongshang stared blankly at the blazing lake. The flames stretched for several miles. His hands were tightly grasped on the railing, and his veins were bulging. At this moment, several officials were approaching. The fire light, asked in a daze, "why...why is it on fire? The surface of the lake...why is the surface of the lake on fire?"

Suddenly, Yuan Chongshang turned around suddenly, like a wounded beast, galloping downstairs. Chu Huan knew that something was wrong, so he quickly followed. Several people went downstairs one after another. He quickly ran down the mountain, he ran very fast, as if there were countless ghosts chasing after him.

On the shore, the very few officers and soldiers left behind and the large number of craftsmen and servants have crowded to the lake at this time. They have all seen the flames spreading on the lake for several miles, and heard the miserable screams from the lake. The soaring flames illuminated Yusuo Lake as brightly as day, and many people saw the boats in the flames, and even saw many people jumping from the burning boats into the lake.

Water and fire alternate, with cruelty in the splendor.

Most of them still don't know what happened, but some people already understand that the boat burned by flames in the lake is the boat of officers and soldiers.

The craftsmen were working hard before, and not many people knew when those ships would leave the shore.

Yuan Chongshang almost ran to the lake in one breath. Seeing the governor approaching, everyone hurriedly dispersed to make way for a place. Yuan Chongshang clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were cracked. He looked at the fire in the lake. After a while, he finally Shouted sharply: "Boat, where is the boat? Hurry up and rescue...!" He looked crazy, and someone beside him said cautiously: "My lord governor, all the boats have left, only... there are only a few small boats...!"

"Board the boat and kill them!" Yuan Chongshang sternly said. At this time, many people on the bank were also holding torches, and there was a lot of flames. His arm tightened, he was already being pulled, furious in his heart, he turned his head, but saw that it was Chu Huan who was holding him, but he couldn't help but said, "What are you doing? Let go!"

Chu Huan shook his head solemnly and said, "My lord, it's too late. It's useless for you to go there now...!"
