The weak Gan Ning stood on the Sihai and looked at his navy, his breathing trembling. Most of the navy he had built from scratch had been destroyed before he could show off his power in the mountains and seas.

Many familiar faces have disappeared. Those soldiers who followed him to sea because of his dream of the ocean are now the only ones left.

"How many people do we have?"

With a suffocating feeling in his chest, Gan Ning looked at the dull atmosphere around him and spoke. He knew that after this battle, if the will of this group of people was not integrated, the navy would be finished. It would be the biggest failure since the formation of the army.

What's even more annoying is that they haven't had time to achieve any success that can be called a major achievement.

And they failed on shore!
This is simply fatal to the navy. What is even more fatal is that this mistake was caused by Gan Ning's arrogance.

The victory in Liaodong blinded him. He forgot his identity and chose to use the navy to attack.

The sudden and powerful enemy made Gan Ning clearly realize how wrong he had been. Even if he risked his life, it could not relieve the burden in his heart.

"There are still three thousand nine hundred and twenty people!" Taishi Ci couldn't help but sigh when he saw Gan Ning, who had always been unruly, so serious. He knew that Gan Ning had taken all the responsibilities on himself.

Hearing this number, Gan Ning's heart clenched violently. You must know that there were more than ten thousand people before them. In a bloody battle, no one retreated. In the end, they all destroyed each other, and they also suffered heavy losses. The retreat was even more panicked.

"Bastard! I must take revenge!" Gan Ning roared.

"Gan Xingba, I plan to leave!" Just when Gan Ning was swearing, Tai Shici suddenly said to Gan Ning.

"Why!" Gan Ning suddenly turned around and stared into Tai Shici's eyes.

"You see, the navy also needs the army!" Taishi Ci was very calm. After a battle, Taishi Ci discovered the biggest problem of the current navy.

After all, we cannot live on the ocean. They will eventually land, and the previous bloody battles have proved that the navy's combat effectiveness on land is not enough, so Taishi Ci is leaving. He is going to build an army strong enough to cooperate with Gan Ning. .

"I understand! I will write to the emperor after the matter here is settled!" Gan Ning nodded.

"I've already written the letter!"

Taishi Ci smiled and said, then handed the official document he had written to Gan Ning.

"You are crazy!"

Gan Ning was extremely shocked when he saw the contents of the official document. Taishi Ci took all the blame on himself. Someone always has to take the blame for a huge failure, but Taishi Ci took all the blame directly on himself.

What kind of reckless advancement, what kind of using the navy as the army, will eventually cost the navy, how many generals and captains, and how many naval soldiers.

If this pot goes down, everything Taishi Ci has accumulated before will be wiped out. This is because Taishi Ci is a veteran who started his career with Mu Yi. If it had been anyone else, he might not have been able to get ahead in this life.

"You can't write like this!" Gan Ning tore up the official document immediately.

"I already sent it back when you were unconscious!" Taishi Ci patted Gan Ning's shoulder.

"I have decided to leave, so just let me take the blame and put all the problems on me, so that you can continue to lead the navy!"

Gan Ning felt Taishi Ci's hand was extremely heavy and looked at Taishi Ci in silence, not knowing what to say.

He knew that Tai Shici was right. The navy below needed a reason, a reason that made sense.

This war was originally considered a tragic victory for them, but they didn't even have time to clean the battlefield and take away the bodies of their comrades. This was undoubtedly a defeat, a tragic defeat.

But the enemy they encountered was already dead, and they didn't know who to take revenge on.

Taishi Ci himself airborne, and in the end Taishi Ci forced everyone to give up cleaning the battlefield and forcefully retreat, which itself caused complaints. Even if they knew it was because of the approach of enemy reinforcements, they saw nothing in the end.

The navy that is still alive at this moment has completely lost its will. Each person has one idea. Such an army is not enough to be called an army. If the strength cannot be gathered together, Gan Ning's navy will be completely doomed.

So Taishi Ci plans to take the blame, at least let the soldiers' emotions be vented in a short time. Maybe the soldiers will understand Taishi Ci in the future, but at least now Taishi Ci will become a good venting point. When the time comes, Taishi Ci will Chang'an was deprived of everything, which was also an explanation for the soldiers.

As for other problems, time will dilute everything. When Taishi Ci returns with a strong army next time, they will still be comrades-in-arms.

War is like this. There are immortals. If they had won this battle, none of these problems would have happened. But they lost, so someone must bear the price, the price of broken families behind more than 8000 soldiers.

Gan Ning looked into Tai Shi Ci's eyes and saw Tai Shi Ci's determination. Gan Ning fell silent.

"I will explain the actual situation to the emperor!" Gan Ning could only say this in the end, which also represented his compromise. He needed to be responsible for the soldiers and their families.

Taishi Ci smiled, then glanced at the confused soldiers behind him, and flew towards Chang'an.

Gan Ning looked at the confused soldiers and called them together.

The collective will that has gradually awakened after the bloody battle is gradually condensing and fermenting after experiencing a great defeat. Someone must guide it at this moment.

If you let it go, not only will you not be able to break through and stand up again, you may even doubt yourself, and you will not be able to maintain your elite talents, let alone achieve a military soul. But luckily, Gan Ning woke up.

Not to mention the situation of Gan Ning integrating the navy and integrating the remaining navy, just talking about Taishi Ci going all the way west, as an inner Qi separated from the body, even if he was injured, his speed was not slow.

When Taishi Ci was feeling depressed, a white wave appeared.

"General Taishi?" Zhao Yun flew up into the sky on horseback and looked at Taishi Ci with some surprise. He had never found Gan Ning and Taishi Ci before. He was worried that something had happened to them. It was great to see Taishi Ci now.

He had met Tai Shici, a well-known righteous man in Qingzhou who liked him very much and had a good impression on him.

"General Zhao?" Taishi Ci was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zhao Yun might be reinforcements.

"Just call me Zilong. Where is General Gan now?" Zhao Yun asked with a smile.

"Just call me Ziyi. Go straight east and dominate the fleet along the coast!" Taishi Ci nodded and said.

Zhao Yun nodded clearly. No wonder there was no trace of Gan Ning and the others. They had already withdrawn to the sea.

"It seems that you have already encountered enemies from outside the world?" Zhao Yun asked tentatively.

"Well, we annihilated one of the opponent's partial troops. The losses were quite heavy. The opponent's combat effectiveness was not inferior to the elites of the empire!" Taishi Ci recalled the battle process and couldn't help but shook his head. It was too tragic.

"Their cavalry and archers are indeed very troublesome!" Zhao Yun nodded in agreement.

"We fought just now. Although we won by luck, there are probably more than 4 people on the other side now. I need General Gan's help!"

"As expected of the White Horse Yi Cong!" Taishi Ci was full of praise. He could understand the results of Zhao Yun's humility. He was able to outperform tens of thousands of elites. He was indeed the White Horse Yi Cong who was famous all over the world.

"I'm afraid Xingba can't help you!"

After admiring, Taishi Ci shook his head.

"Today, the navy has less than 4000 people. Even if they all come out, they won't be of much help. Besides, the navy's land combat effectiveness..."

When Taishi Ci said this, he sighed again and had to admit that the combat effectiveness of their navy was not as good as the other's.

"Is this so?" Zhao Yun couldn't help but have a headache. Originally, he had planned to cooperate with Gan Ning, but now it seems that he can only take the lead on his own.

"Is that Ziyi planning to return to Chang'an now?" Zhao Yun asked after pondering for a moment.

"Yes, I am responsible for this defeat. I will meet the emperor in person to accept the punishment!" Taishi Ci left calmly.

Zhao Yun stared at Taishi Ci's back, a little silent. He had seen those enemies, so he knew very well that the responsibility did not entirely lie with Taishi Ci and others.

The enemy came too fast and too strong.

Taishi Ci flew with a melancholy look on his face. He felt more and more that his decision was correct. The navy was definitely not a legion that could be pulled out alone. The formation of the navy should be complementary and required the dual support of the army and air force, so as to ensure conquest.

"Flying is prohibited in the important place of Chang'an!"

The sharp shouts woke up Taishi Ci, who woke up from his review of the battle. He actually flew back to Chang'an without knowing it.

Taishi Ci shook his head. He didn't expect that he would be so delirious one day. Fortunately, he was blessed by Jiuding after flying back to the Central Plains. He was very lucky and didn't encounter any birds with an inner energy level. Otherwise, he might have suffered more losses. hurt.

"Taishi Ziyi?"

Xu Huang looked at Taishi Ci strangely. If he remembered correctly, Taishi Ci went to the navy and should be in Liaodong now. Why did he come back here?

"Long time no see, Xu Gongming!" Taishi Ci greeted Xu Huang with a wry smile. Seeing an acquaintance in this situation made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"Is there an urgent military situation?" Xu Huang thought of something for a moment and quickly moved out of the way towards Tai Shici.

Taishi Ci is also one of the elders, and Xu Huang certainly doesn't doubt his presence. Although under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to fly in Chang'an, but when it comes to emergency military situations, that's a different matter.

"It's not..." Just as Taishi Ci was about to explain, he saw the starlight falling, directly pulling him towards the direction of the palace.

"The Emperor invites you, so go quickly!" Xu Huang waved his hand.

Taishi Ci nodded to Xu Huang, and then followed the starlight to Weiyang Palace.

"The defeated general has no face to see the emperor!" Taishi Ci knelt on the ground.

"I already know the matter. The blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain. The empire will take good care of the widows of the military families. I will deal with you according to your own ideas!" Mu Yi waved his hand and motioned for Taishi Ci to stand up.

Although he had received the battle report sent back by Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci using secret techniques, he still had questions to ask Taishi Ci.

"Thank you for your grace, Emperor!"

Taishi Ci felt relieved, and turned all the achievements he had accumulated so far into money and grain and distributed them to the families of the soldiers, which was considered his last effort.

Although the empire will take good care of these military families, Taishi Ci has never been able to overcome the hurdle in his heart. He is always a man of righteousness.

"You have fought against soldiers of the Meng Yuan Empire, tell me what you think!" Mu Yi asked, waving his hand.

"The opponent's research on cavalry and bows and arrows is very in-depth. The most important thing is that their fighting will is very tenacious, just like...the Northern Huns in history!" Tai Shici truthfully expressed his opinion.

"I think we should immediately send troops to destroy the opponent immediately while the opponent's foothold is not stable and the surrounding situation is unclear. Once the opponent is connected with the Northern Huns, it will probably bring about huge changes!"

Mu Yi nodded, they indeed planned to do this. Zhao Yun could not block the opponent for long with the help of Baima Yicong. If the opponent really built a city near the space gate, it would indeed be a trouble.

"Where do you plan to start over?" Mu Yi did not continue to ask, but instead changed the topic and asked Tai Shici's next plan.

"The general plans to start from the army and return to the navy in the future. The navy also needs an elite army to cooperate!"

"I will grant you a legion to lead and train, but your battlefield is not here, but in another world!" Mu Yi said slowly.

To put it bluntly, Taishi Ci felt sorry for himself. In fact, it was not a big mistake. If Taishi Ci was left to work as a soldier, Mu Yi would really be a fool.

But after all, it was the cusp of the storm. Considering the mood of his military relatives, Mu Yi chose to send Tai Shici to conquer other worlds.

"As the emperor orders!" Taishi Ci did not refuse. He knew that this was Mu Yi's protection for him.

"Go, someone will notify you when the time comes. Fazheng is also over there. Just follow his arrangements!"

"General, I will obey your order!" Tai Shici accepted the order and left.

"He is a benevolent and righteous general, but he is somewhat unqualified as a general." Looking at Tai Shici's heavy steps, Han Xin curled his lips and muttered.

"There are not many qualified people in your eyes!" Mu Yi said casually, ignoring Han Xin's thoughts.

"Taishi Ziyi himself is a benevolent and righteous general, and setbacks and failures will only become his nourishment!"

"You are confident!" Han Xin looked at Mu Yi, then thought about Liu Bang, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"There will be a new show in the Golden Courtyard tomorrow. Go and see it!"

Han Xin did not become happy when he heard this, but immediately became serious instead of being careless.

"finally coming?"

Although Han Xin is unconventional, he is quite serious about war.

"Well, the original plan was to wait for the troops from various states to arrive in Bingzhou, and then send troops from Bingzhou together. However, since there is a problem here in Liaodong, I will let the troops from Youzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Xuzhou go directly north to Youzhou to pacify Liaodong first, and then go Destroy the Northern Huns!"

Mu Yi said calmly that since Kyushu could shield the spatial coordinates, he would personally conquer Liaodong with his own force, destroy Liaodong with thunder, and kick Meng Yuan out of the main world. (End of chapter)
