Chapter 1483 How to reward?
Chen Ran got up from the dragon head and returned to Chen Leng and the others with an unhappy look on his face. Chen Leng glanced at him: "Why aren't you sitting on that huge dragon head?"
Chen Ran: "I thank you for talking about the huge leader."
Several people sat down on the back of the Dragon Turtle Warship. The sunset was setting in the distance. This day was about to pass. After this battle, Chen Leng's concerns in his heart decreased a lot. The Dragon Turtle Warship was not unbeatable, but a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
Next, we will study the weakness of the Dragon Turtle Warship. He has a large group of skilled craftsmen under his command, and he will soon be able to figure out where the Dragon Turtle Warship is the weakest. [Zero.] It is okay to use the Centipede Clippers to chew elephants, the method of ant gnawing elephants, to fight once, but it will not be so smooth the second time unless the enemy is a fool.
"Xie Jiuzhuan is back."
A personal soldier came over in a small boat and shouted under the Dragon Turtle Warship.
Chen Leng waved: "Let him come here."
Soon, Xie Jiuzhu climbed up and looked around, smiling on his face: "This big turtle"
Chen Leng asked, "Be serious, what good news is there?"
"When the Sang Kingdom Navy retreated, I mingled behind them with a Sang Kingdom warship, and then went around from the side to look. Many bodies were dropped from their central army flagship, and my subordinates suspected that there was a civil strife."
He glanced at Chen Leng: "I am afraid of being seen, so I didn't dare to get too close."
Xie Jiuzhuan took the kettle that Chen Leng handed to him, took a sip and continued, "But after he got in, he found that the morale of the Sang people had been destroyed, and they would not take the initiative to launch an offensive in a short period of time."
Chen Leng nodded: "What else is there?"
Xie Jiuzhuan said: "How did the general know that there is something wrong?"
Chen Leng: "Look at how your mouth looks like, you are not reserved at all."
Xie Jiuzhuan chuckled: "I will catch a few tongues."
Chen Leng had to look at Xie Jiuzhuan with admiration. This guy took his men to put on the clothes of the Sang people, drove a warship from Sang Kingdom and dared to follow the team of the Sang Kingdom's naval division, and dared to capture a few prisoners.
Moreover, the reason why Xie Jiuzhuo was so happy was that these prisoners were definitely not ordinary people. When a dragon turtle warship was seized, there were hundreds of mulberry soldiers surrendering inside, but General Sang, who was responsible for commanding the dragon turtle warship, committed suicide. These ordinary mulberry soldiers were not very valuable.
Xie Jiuzhuan is so happy that the person he caught must be worth a lot.
"Stop keeping it aside."
Chen Leng said: "Who will be caught?"
Xie Jiuzhuan waved to the bottom of the Dragon Turtle Warship: "Bring it up."
A San man in civil servant costume was taken onto a warship. His face was so scared that he was extremely pale. He kept looking at Chen Leng and the others, looking at him, looking at him trembling.
"Tell me."
Xie Jiuyuan smashed the civil servant Sang Guo with the empty wine pot in his hand, and the man shivered in fear.
"I am an official of the Sang** department, my name is Bayehai."
The Sangren was so scared that he couldn't speak smoothly. He swallowed and looked carefully at Chen Leng and the others' faces.
"I ask you, why did you escape?"
Xie Jiuzhuo stood up and walked to Bayehai and said, "When we caught you, you secretly asked a ship to send you back to Sang Country. What happened? Sang Country looked down on deserters very much and the sanctions were severe. Are you not afraid of death when you go back?"
Bayehai told the story of Tenghui Sanyu killing Gaojing Yuntai. He was afraid that he was a man from Gaojing Yuntai in the Sang Kingdom Navy and left with Gaojing Yuntai.
He was closer, so after learning that Takai Yuntai was killed, he was to escape.
Chen Leng looked at this person, thought for a while, and smiled and said, "I will give you another choice. Daning is not going to destroy Sang, but because Takaihara is disrespectful to Daning. He is trying to fight against Daning. How can Daning tolerate him?"
Chen Leng handed a pot of water to Bayehai: "The purpose of Daning's troops was to send Yingzhang Liuan, who was kind to Daning, to the throne. As long as Yingzhang Liuan becomes the emperor of Sang Kingdom, the two countries can continue to have a good relationship. This is a situation that is beneficial to both Daning and Sang Kingdom. There is no need to be so fierce and ruthless. Who is not afraid of death?"
Chen Leng said: "After you go back, just report Tenghui Sanyu to Takai Yuntai truthfully. I will give you a boat to let you go back safely. As long as you do this, I guarantee that after Yingzhao Liuan ascends the throne and becomes emperor, you will have a place in the court of Sang Kingdom, and you will definitely have a high position and a high position and power."
Bayehai looked at Chen Leng with doubts, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But he had no choice. An hour later, Bayehai and his entourage were released, and Chen Leng also gave them a captured small warship of Sang Country.
Chen Ran couldn't help but ask, as he watched the ship leave, "Can such a person be useful? Look at his fear of death."
Chen sneered: "Can a traitor be a traitor if he is not afraid of death?"
Chen Ran thought for a while and nodded: "Reasonable."
Chen Leng said: "If he could return to Kyoto alive to see Takaihara, he would not dare to say that he was captured by us, but he would definitely tell the murder of Takai Yuntai."
Chen Ran waved to the ship: "Contact forever."
He turned his head and looked at Chen Leng and asked, "You have said before that the imperial court has mobilized a total of four armies to attack Sang Kingdom this time. We are the main attackers, as well as General Haisha who was transferred from the northern border and General Yan Kaisong who was transferred from Bohai Road. Who is the Fourth Army?"
Chen Leng said: "The Fourth Route Army is not ours."
"Not ours?"
Chen Ran didn't understand it for a while.
In a town seventy or eighty miles outside Kyoto City, Yingzhao Liuan looked at his men with a serious face. There were many guards standing beside him, but these guards were all from Daning. Yingzhao Liuan believed that they would protect their safety, but he also believed that the prerequisite was to do what Ningguo asked him to do well.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
A man from Sang leaned over and said, "There are not many defenders in Kyoto City now. Ning army attacked from the north. Takaihara drew 50,000 people from Kyoto City and 200,000 from various places. Now the defense near Gyeonggi Province is empty."
He looked at Yingzhang Liu'an's face and said carefully: "But we are seriously short of manpower now. Most of the people who swear that as long as His Royal Highness comes back will be loyal to you, they are all fence-bearing."
Yingzhao Liuan sighed and said, "Then tell me, how many people can we mobilize now?"
"Your Highness."
Another Sanren said: "Now we can mobilize about 1,000 people. Even if the defense is empty, it will not be possible for us to break through more than 1,000 people."
"Don't attack Kyoto City."
Eitong Yanan stood up: "We don't need to attack Kyoto."
Chen Leng taught him what to do. He thought about Chen Leng’s explanation to him carefully and said, “In this way, you are all scattered now and spread the news of my return everywhere, so that more people know, the better.”
A man from San couldn't help but worry: "But once this news is spread, your highness, aren't you very dangerous?"
"I'm more dangerous if I've been in the dark all the time."
Eitong Riorian said: "I have sent someone to contact the General of the Hokkaido County. I will rush to the city of Haino County. I will be there openly. The more I am so open, the more Takaihara dare not mobilize troops to attack."
He ordered: "Now we will all be scattered out, contact the royal family in Kyoto City, contact the major families outside the city, and tell them that I have a way to get the Ning army to retreat, only I can get the Ning army to retreat."
Everyone leaned over and said, "As for order."
At the same time, Chang'an City.
The emperor couldn't help but smile when he looked at the taller seedlings in the yard. These dishes were planted by Chen Leng and the second prince Li Changye. They were the days before Shen Leng went to war. Now the dishes are almost ready to eat.
Lai Cheng stood by the emperor and looked at the smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth. He didn't dare to disturb him, and even his breathing was deliberately suppressed. He knew what the emperor was thinking, so he was not convenient for him to speak and disturb His Majesty and thought of some stupid boy.
"I have fought such a war of all kinds, and even though I was not nervous when I was in charge of the army, I was unable to let go of it this time."
The emperor looked at Lai Cheng: "It's only been a month since the navy went to war in the East China Sea. Even if there is good news, I can't come back."
Lai Chengdao: "The destruction of Sang includes Duke Anguo, Meng Chang'an, Haisha and Yan Kaisong. How could four such people not be able to defeat Sang's country?"
The emperor nodded: "I am thinking about something recently. If everything goes well in the attack on Sang Kingdom, it will be within one month and it will be within the territory of Sang Kingdom. In the next two months, it should be over."
He looked at Lai Cheng and said, "How about I let Changye go to Dongjiang?"
At first, the second prince Li Changye had always wanted to go to Dongjiang, but the emperor had never agreed. Now he suddenly mentioned that the second prince would go, and Lai Cheng did not react for a while.
After a moment, Lai Cheng understood.
If you set off now, it will take two months to arrive in Dongjiang. If it goes well, Chen Leng and Meng Chang'an have already fought and the army will be triumphant. The crown prince will personally welcome him in Dongjiang. First, to show His Majesty's attention, and second, to win the hearts of the crown prince. When the victorious army comes back, he will be so happy to see that His Majesty is actually waiting to greet them in Dongjiang.
"I think it's feasible."
Lai Cheng leaned over and said, "I happened to have seen the calendar. Three days later it will be a good day and it is suitable to travel."
The emperor nodded: "Then let's arrange it like this, let's go and call the prince."
Dai Fangzhou responded quickly and turned around and ordered the eunuch to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The emperor squatted down and gently brushed his hands on the vegetable leaves: "If you return with great victory, how do you think Meng Chang'an, Haisha, and Yan Kaisong should be rewarded?"
Lai Cheng was stunned for a moment, but His Majesty did not say he was cold.
"Meng Chang'an's military achievements are very great. He can be promoted to the Duke and was granted the state of the Pulse. General Haisha can be promoted to the first-class marquis and was granted the state of the Pulse. General Yan Kaisong and General Haisha should be the same as General Haisha. This should be the same."
Lai Cheng answered very carefully and did not mention Shen Leng.
"Um"
The emperor nodded: "Wang Gendong is a man of great pride. I know that Chen Leng intends to let him get rid of his armor and return to the field after fighting Sang Kingdom, but I don't agree. He has to hold on for a few more years. The navy must be accompanied by someone. Xin Jigong is too young."
Lai Cheng suddenly reacted and then grinned.
The emperor glanced at him: "Why are you laughing at?"
Lai Cheng quickly leaned over and said, "It's nothing. I just thought about how to go back and get a drink from General Dan Tai."
The emperor shook his head and smiled, "You are just smart."
