() Yuan Chongshang was startled, the corners of his eyes twitched twice, and finally asked: "Master Chu, what do you mean by this defeat, is someone leaking the news in advance?" It was all planned by the governor alone, and even Master Chu only found out after he dispatched troops, so why would someone else leak the news!"

Chu Huan didn't change his face, and said calmly: "Your Excellency, you should pay attention to the situation that night. Our boat was suddenly surrounded by a fire net in the middle of the lake. The flames burned extremely suddenly. Don't you be surprised by those Where does the flame come from?"

Yuan Chongshang stared into Chu Huan's eyes and asked, "Does Master Chu know how the fire started?"

"After collecting the corpse, I sent someone to inspect the scene." Chu Huan said solemnly, "There are still traces of oil in the water quality of the lake. I asked someone to identify it. It is a kind of kerosene that is extremely flammable."

"Fire oil?"

"That's right." Chu Huan nodded and said, "This kind of kerosene is extremely flammable, and it burns at one point. Our ship entered the oil array set up by the other party at that time."

Yuan Chongshang was even more surprised, "Oil array?"

"The other party has already sprinkled kerosene on that lake." Chu Huan sighed: "It consumes a lot of kerosene, but the layout is also very large, because our fleet is approaching the island late at night, so naturally we can't observe it." When I saw the movement on the lake, I thought about it later. The other party had set up an oil array in advance. After our ship entered the oil array without knowing it, they immediately fired a rocket and ignited the kerosene floating on the lake. The kerosene It burns quickly, and will soon swallow up our fleet. And when our fleet is moving, it has been unknowingly stained with fire oil in the lake, so it burns very quickly...!"

Yuan Chongshang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of resentment.

"They should be well aware of our movement." Chu Huan said slowly: "They have also determined the time for the governor to launch a night attack, so the Huang family's fleet has long been prepared. When our fleet is caught in the fire During the battle, they made a detour from both sides and cut off the retreat of our fleet, which led to our tragic defeat this time!"

There was even a trace of sweat on Yuan Chongshang's forehead, and he said in a deep voice: "That is to say, everything is in Huang Tianyi's plan, this action of the governor is just his prey, he has already prepared a pocket for Ben The supervisor got in?"

Chu Huan nodded, "To put it bluntly, that's exactly the case. The governor is always behind, and Huang Tianyi has calculated all his moves. Even though the imperial guards are brave and good at fighting, this defeat was destined to be a failure before the troops were dispatched. The reason for such a disastrous defeat was precisely because Huang Tianyi knew himself and the enemy well, and he knew the Governor's plan like the back of his hand, otherwise the Huang family would never have just deployed an oil formation in the lake, let alone be fully armed, and had done well that night. prepared to deal with it.”

Yuan Chongshang's expression was grim.

"Although the fire oil in the lake is powerful, it will float away after two days, and its power will be greatly reduced. It is difficult to form such a deadly fire formation." Chu Huan stared into Yuan Chongshang's eyes, "I'm looking for someone to understand , being able to form such a large formation of fire and cause such serious damage can only prove that the kerosene in the lake was deployed within twelve hours before burning, in other words, it was when the governor launched a night attack The night before, Huang Tianyi had already sent someone to secretly set up an oil formation on the lake. From this, it can be inferred that Huang Tianyi already knew about His Excellency's plan the day before His Excellency ordered the night attack."

Yuan Chongshang's body trembled slightly, his eyes showed confusion: "How could he know? He will never know!"

Chu Huan sighed: "I also hope he won't know, but it turns out that Huang Tianyi not only knows it clearly, but also made a careful plan...!" Staring into Yuan Chongshang's eyes, he said seriously: "Governor My lord, I dare to ask, besides my lord, is there really no one else who knows about this night attack?"

There was pain in Yuan Chongshang's eyes. He closed his eyes, as if he was racking his brains for something. After a while, he finally shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible. The governor didn't mention it to anyone beforehand, and he didn't even carry out this matter." Fang Tongzhi, that's also... That was the night when I suddenly received the order from the governor, Master Chu, the governor is absolutely true, the governor really can't figure it out, how could he, Huang Tianyi, know that the governor will attack at night."

Chu Huan stared at Yuan Chongshang's eyes, Yuan Chongshang felt a little uncomfortable, and asked, "Master Chu, do you suspect that the Governor is lying to you?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "It's absolutely not my intention, but I'm worried that if I can't figure out this problem, it will lead to even bigger disasters!"

"A greater disaster?"

"Even Huang Tianyi knows about such a secret event as the night raid, I'm not sure what else Huang Tianyi will know." Chu Huan said solemnly: "Will Huang Tianyi know all about the future actions of the court? This time The defeat has already caused huge losses, and the governor naturally does not want to see such things happen."

Chu Huan's voice was very serious, and Yuan Chongshang looked a little slumped. After a long time, he said: "Although what Master Chu said is very reasonable, but the governor really can't think of who else would know about it." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Is there some flaw in Bendu's plan? Huang Tianyi saw some flaws at Yusuo Lake?"

If it was before the defeat, Yuan Chongshang would never admit that his plan had the slightest flaw. In fact, he also put in all his efforts, so he was confused.

But at this moment, he had to feel that it was very possible that his old maze was seen through by the other party.

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "This possibility is not very high. Governor, in fact, your surprise attack plan does not have too many loopholes, and the arrangement on the side of Yusuo Lake is also logical, and there is nothing wrong with it." Sure. Taking a step back, even if Huang Tianyi was aware of it and knew that the Lord would launch an attack in advance, how could he be sure that it was on that day? Huang Tianyi set up the oil formation in the lake one day in advance, that is to say, the Lord has not yet After leaving Taiyuan City, Huang Tianyi has already prepared for the battle in advance."

Yuan Chongshang also showed a puzzled look in his eyes, and thoughtfully said: "Could it be that Huang Tianyi was alert when he learned that the governor was going to inspect Yusuo Lake...!" That is to say, shaking his head, he seems to think that such a possibility is not great.

"Your Excellency also said last time that you have to go to Yusuo Lake every now and then to inspect. Huang Tianyi will not always prepare like this every time he knows that Your Excellency is going." Chu Huan shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Governor, I would rather be an official." It was Huang Tianyi who saw the flaw himself. If not, it can only mean that the master's plan has been leaked. If Huang Tianyi is well aware of such a secret plan of the master, then if we can't discover our own Where there are loopholes, if we suppress them next time, we may still repeat the same mistakes.”

Yuan Chongshang smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid there will be no next time for this governor!"

Chu Huan didn't change his face, but just said "Oh", and asked, "Why did the Governor make such a statement?"

"This defeat has caused heavy losses, and the governor cannot escape the blame." Yuan Chongshang shook his head and sighed, "The governor is already preparing to submit an indictment to the imperial court...!" Reaching for the teapot, he glanced at Chu Huan from the corner of his eye, " Lord Chu, the former Shenyi Guard had an accident in Taiyuan, the Holy Majesty failed to punish the crime, it is already a great grace of the emperor, the governor lost this first battle, the Holy Majesty is afraid...!" Shaking his head, he let out a long sigh.

Chu Huan looked calm, and said softly: "My lord is wise and wise, everything depends on the result. Although my lord lost the first battle, it is not the final result!"

Yuan Chongshang's eyes brightened slightly, "Lord Chu, what do you mean?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "If the governor can reverse the situation in Anyi as soon as possible, for example, find out some rebels, or find out some clues to murder Shenyiwei, or even figure out the truth of Shenyi in a short time. The truth about Wei's murder, the Holy Majesty may...!" He didn't continue.

Yuan Chongshang smiled wryly: "But this defeat will soon spread everywhere, and we can't keep it hidden."

"My lord's body hasn't recovered yet." Chu Huan said softly: "Even if you want to submit a book, you can wait for your body to recover a bit...!" He clicked on it and stopped talking.

Yuan Chongshang had already grasped Chu Huan's hand, and said gratefully, "Master Chu, this governor...!" He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chu Huan withdrew his hand and sighed: "Although my lord is not in good health, I still need to deal with many things myself. The compensation for the officers and soldiers who died, the re-establishment of the battle plan, and the most important thing is the current city defense!"

"City defense?" Yuan Chongshang was taken aback.

Chu Huan nodded and said: "This time, there are thousands of soldiers at any time, and most of the imperial guards are lost. This is the elite division of Anyi. As far as I know, there are only two thousand imperial guards stationed in Taiyuan now."

Yuan Chongshang nodded and said, "Not bad."

Chu Huan said seriously, "Your Excellency, do you think that if something happens, can two thousand imperial guards guard Taiyuan City?"

Yuan Chongshang frowned and said, "Master Chu, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the Huang family was able to fight from Yusuo Lake to Taiyuan City? Although a lot of troops were lost, Yusuo Lake still has [-] to [-] troops. The family can only huddle on the island, if they dare to go ashore, they will die in an instant without a place to bury them."

Chu Huan hesitated to speak, but he didn't say anything after all. He stood up and said, "Your Excellency is bothering you. Your Excellency, take care of yourself and rest well. I'll take my leave first!"

Yuan Chongshang got up, cupped his hands, and said, "Lord Chu, go slowly, as long as the apology is...!" He didn't continue immediately, but looked at Chu Huan, and seeing that Chu Huan's expression did not change, he said softly : "Let's wait until Ben Du's health is better, and then play!"

Chu Huan left the governor's mansion, but Yuan Chongshang sat at the table and meditated. After a long time, his brows slightly raised, and he said in a deep voice, "Come here!"

A servant appeared in front of the door, Yuan Chongshang said in a deep voice, "Go and call the third lady over!"
