The Beacon of Kyushu

Wan Jianfeng nodded, then shook his head, "General Liu, you are only half right. Although Wu wanted to seize Jingzhou, it was an ally with Shu on the surface. Naturally, it could use the excuse of doing business to come to the border. But now Song Dynasty and Qu Yue have already broken up with each other. If we use the excuse of doing business again, as long as the enemy is not stupid, we will not be singing about crossing the river in white clothes, but about borrowing arrows with wet hair! "

Liu Cheng pondered: "Then pretend to be a fishing boat. Although the two countries are at war, Qu Yue has not issued a sea ban. It is not difficult for us to reach the Baiteng River on the pretext of fishing."

Wan Jianfeng laughed and said: "What, turning a warship into a fishing boat? General Liu, your idea is so unique! Has General Liu ever seen a fishing boat as big as a warship, or can he turn a warship into a fishing boat? It’s about the same size, come and let me know it for a while!”

Liu Cheng just thought he had come up with a good idea. When Wan Jianfeng said this, his cheeks turned slightly red with embarrassment, "Wan Shaoxia is right to remind you. I was confused for a moment and I don't know what Wan Shaoxia has in mind." ?”

Wan Jianfeng said: "General Liu, we are not immortals. We can't turn warships into fishing boats. So why not just find a few real fishing boats? It's just that the fishing boats are small and it's impossible to take all these soldiers on board, so we have to choose some. Strong soldiers went out with us."

Liu Cheng clenched his fist and said excitedly: "Okay, I will do what the young hero said tomorrow. I hope I can win Bai Tengjiang in one fell swoop this time!"

Wan Jianfeng swung the gourd of wine and said with a smile: "Haha, I wanted to rest more, but God has destined me not to stop! Forget it, I will drink it tonight and sober up in the camp tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow Let's set out early in the morning." He said, regardless of Liu Cheng's consent, and walked away while drinking.

The next day, the noon sun shone into Wan Jianfeng's tent, but he still closed his eyes and snored, with no intention of waking up. Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from outside the tent. He thought it was the group of cultists in the valley who had come to rob the camp, and he was frightened and woke up from his dream.

Wan Jianfeng listened carefully and realized that the noise was not due to a fight between the two sides, but just a few soldiers in the camp complaining. He put on his straw sandals with some displeasure, and holding his handsome stick, he wanted to teach these guys a lesson for disturbing their dreams.

He searched for the sound and found the Chinese army's tent, where he saw more than a dozen Song soldiers kneeling with their armor removed. Some of these people had bruises on their noses, some had swollen faces, some had bleeding from their mouths, and some had wounds on their heads, but none of them was unscathed.

Wan Jianfeng thought he had made a mistake, so he rubbed his eyes and took a closer look at the camp, only to realize that not only had he made a mistake, but he had also missed the worst one. I saw that this man's spine seemed to have been broken. He couldn't even stand up and was lying on the ground moaning.

Liu Cheng looked at these wounded soldiers with both pity and anger in his eyes, "I asked you to borrow a boat nearby. Not only did you fail to find the boat for me, but you were beaten like this. It's really..." he said Zhutu sighed again, "Oh, that barbarian who beat people is really hateful. Even if he doesn't want to lend his ship to our army, he can't casually hurt our Song Dynasty officers and soldiers!"

Wan Jianfeng walked into the tent in confusion and asked: "General Liu, are you sure these people just went to find the boat and didn't fight with the Dragon King in the sea? I haven't heard of anyone nearby. What a powerful water thief, who could hurt so many people like this!"

When the soldiers saw Wan Jianfeng coming, they knelt down and crawled to his feet, crying: "Master Wan, the one who beat us is a martial arts master. Looking at our military camp, you are the only one who can vent our anger for us!"

Wan Jianfeng asked: "Martial arts master? What kind of martial arts master? Do you know his name? As long as it's not Li Huan, no matter who you are, I can capture him with ease!" The soldiers said, "This man lives here Thirty miles away from here, in Shuilongwu, there was a gang of people making waves. He had an iron oar in his hand, which weighed at least sixty or seventy pounds. He killed more than a dozen of our brothers by himself. If we hadn't run fast, we would have killed him. You will also die by his hand!”

Wan Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy: "This man really uses an iron oar? Do you know his surname? If his surname is Shao, I will ask him for a boat right now!"

The soldiers recalled it and said uncertainly: "Okay...it seems to be Shao."

Wan Jianfeng pointed at these wounded soldiers and laughed: "Hahaha, I have not wronged you at all. You really had a fight with the Dragon King! On the ground, whether it is the Little Witch, Li Ruoyun, or that The pretty guy surnamed Yun can beat him to the point where he can't find his way, but if he's in the water, even the King of Heaven can't fight him!"

Liu Cheng asked hurriedly: "Master Wan, who is this master named Shao? Is he an old friend of yours? Can you persuade him to serve in our army?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "Haha, his name is Shao Hengjiang, nickname is Shuisheng. We have never distinguished each other, except for my wife, what is his is mine, and what is mine is his. It's just that we haven't seen each other for many years, no I thought he was running away from Qu Yue."

Liu Cheng was overjoyed and said: "Is this true? It seems God is helping me!"

Wan Jianfeng sighed and said: "General Liu, don't be happy too early. My brother is good at anything, but he won't work for the court. It doesn't matter whether you are Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, Dali, Dangxiang or Qu Yue, it doesn’t matter if your surname is Zhao, Yelu, Duan, Li or Li, it’s just a fool’s errand to want him to fight for you.”

Liu Cheng struggled to explain: "Master Wan, why is this?"

Wan Jianfeng thought for a moment and said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you after I borrow the boat and we win the battle."

Liu Cheng nodded and said: "Okay, even if we can't invite Shao Shaoxia, it would be good if we could borrow a few ships. I'll leave this matter to Wan Shaoxia."

Wan Jianfeng smiled confidently, turned around and walked out of the tent, heading straight for the camp gate. Liu Cheng looked at his back, and a hope he had not felt for a long time rose in his heart. (End of chapter)
