……

The night is as dark as ink.

Songs from Yue, one after another.

I stood on the dock of Dongye Port with a large group of people in Dongye Port, staring at the clusters of flames gradually ignited on the sea surface of Dongye Port. The fireworks bloomed when countless Wu army warships led by Liu Ju were stranded and ignited by attack.

In front of the crowd, small Minyue Navy Navy Navy's whistleboats and folk fishing boats were piled with firewood and rushed towards the Wu army ships in the distance under the command of the Minyue Navy Clippers.

The Vietnamese sailors on these small boats were strong and firm.

Many of them still had their hair and tattoos like their ancestors hundreds of years ago. At this moment, they seemed to be possessed by their ancestors, imitating the tactics of the Wu navy in the Battle of Langya during the Spring and Autumn Period.

This tactic is simple and effective: first, he quietly drove a boat to approach the enemy ships in the dark, and then ignited the firewood and grass on his boat with lightning speed and crashed into the giant Wu army ships that were dozens of times as tall as his body, and finally died with the enemy in the fire.

On the Wu army's warship that had not yet caught fire, the Wu army's counterattack was resolute and fierce.

From the side of the tall Han-style building ship of Wu army, dense arrows were shot out from time to time.

The arrow was lit with tinder oil. From a distance, it looked like a burst of star showers pouring down from the Milky Way and falling on the nearby Vietnamese fire ship, which was very magical.

Tonight, the moon in Dongye is blood-red, charming and weird.

The heat in the air during the day dissipates in the moment when the blood moon rises.

The glow sprinkled, tearing apart the ink-like night, bringing a bloody wind.

The magnificent and miserable scene in front of me made me feel mixed emotions and mixed feelings.I couldn't help but hold my fingers tightly, and my palm was almost bleeding.

This is the seventh month after I bid farewell to Han Jing and returned to Dongye.I originally planned to stay at home for a short time and then return to the north and get married to Han Jing, but all plans were disrupted by a sudden outbreak of war.

A day shortly after I arrived home, Liu Ju led thousands of Wu troops from Dongye to secretly board hundreds of their newly built Han-style warships, carrying a part of the Minyue army to advance along the water and land.

Under the banner of avenging his father, King Liu Bi of Wu, he blitzed the Dongou Kingdom, which was established north of Minyue, which was also descended from King Goujian of Yue.

Yu Shan, a royal nobleman of the Wu Sect, who had always been regarded as his confidant by Liu Ju, and several other Wu army officers led hundreds of Wu troops to stay in the Wu army camp in the outskirts of Dongye City.

Liu Ju's Northern Expedition was progressing smoothly. In a short period of time, the Dongou Navy was defeated by the powerful Wu army's Lou Ship fleet and wiped out the entire army.

Wang Zhenming of Dong'ou was killed by the seaside, and the capital (author's note: Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province today) was occupied by the Wu army and the Minyue army.

Dong'ou sent an envoy to ask for help from Chang'an and asked for the approval of the country.The Han emperor then ordered the Han navy in Kuaiji County to go south to rescue.

Just as Liu Ju and Wu's army were sharpening their swords and preparing to fight the Han army south, the land-based Minyue Army troops who cooperated with Liu Ju to fight suddenly mutiny as if they had already planned it, and all retreated to Dongye along the land route.

Liu Ju couldn't bear to leave the Dongou territory that he had just obtained, and continued to stay in Dongou with the Wu army for dozens of days until he saw the Han army going south and boarded the ship to retreat south.

When Liu Ju and Wu's army returned to the fleet and sailed near the outer sea of ​​Dongye, Yu Shan, the nobleman of Minyue, who Liu Ju had trusted and won over for many years, became the one who stabbed him and the Wu army.

Yu Shan unveiled his long-standing disguise, and suddenly launched an unexpected mutiny one night, collaborating with the Fujian Yue army to encircle and annihilate a small number of Wu troops left on Dongye land, and ordered a complete seal of the sea, prohibiting anyone from guiding the Wu army into the port.

This Dongye Port was formed by a prehistoric retreat, with many swamps and shallows around it.

The Minyue Kingdom set up a special position as a guerrilla general in the East China Sea, responsible for the hydrology of the internal and external waterways of Dongye Port, and daily management of dozens of sea deacons who piloted various ships to ensure their safe entry and exit from the Dongye Port area.

The sea surface near Dongye Port usually looks horizontal and light, but there is no guerrilla general's mansion's sentry ships to navigate, and even small merchant ships are prone to stranding, not to mention larger warships.

Sure enough, Liu Ju's water army outside Dongye Sea was trapped in the sea for half a month, and the grain and water were cut off. He was eager to return to the shore, so he had to forcefully land on the ground without piloting.

As a result, this landing battle turned into the one-sided massacre in front of me: some warships in the Wu army sank, and more were stranded by shallows, unable to move, and all became turtles in the jar that could be slaughtered.

A stream of sand gull passed by my eyes and pulled me back to reality from my thoughts.

The mountains along the coastline are winding, watching silently at the battle that has been going on for several hours.

Most of the Wu army warships have been completely burned down at this moment. On a few warships that have not been completely burned, the still alive Wu army soldiers are still enduring the scorching fire and firing bows and arrows at the Minyue Navy, causing continuous damage to the Minyue Navy Navy.

Another hour of fighting passed, the sky was white, and a bloody night passed.

With the red light emitted by the gushing red sun at sea level, I saw that there were only a few Wu army warships left on the entire sea surface.

At this moment, they were tightly surrounding and protecting a huge Han-style giant building ship to fight for beasts.

That big ship should look like Liu Ju's ship.

Several surviving Wu Junshi tried to rush towards the shore, but in the end, like their other companions, they all ran aground not far from the shore without exception, and were finally burned by the rushing Minyue Navy fireboat.

However, the sacrifice of these escort warships is not meaningless.

They used their wreckage to mark the last safe route to the flagship. The giant building ship Liu Ju was riding finally stumbled and approached the shore.

The people watching the battle on the shore were frightened and scattered when they saw the boat approaching.I didn't leave, and I still stood there watching the battle, wanting to see the final outcome of Liu Ju, a romantic figure who has been rampant in Minyue Kingdom for many years.

At this time, dozens of medium-sized warships of the Minyue Navy's naval army sailed past me.

I saw the young Yu Shan standing at the bow of one of the ships, with his ten fingers pressing against the wooden railings of the warship, and his face was cold and murderous intent.

It seems that the screams of Wu soldiers being burned to death by fire and the bodies of countless Wu soldiers floating on the sea cannot make him feel soft at all, even though many of these Wu soldiers were playmates and friends who had been with him for many years.

Several Minyue naval warships stepped forward to try to stop the giant Han-style building ship from docking, but were shattered by the huge and hard corners of the building ship.

However, more brave Minyue warships were taken up and finally managed to stop it.

However, the Han-style tower ship was more than ten feet high and it was difficult to climb, let alone jumping onto the ship to do a boarding battle.

Therefore, when the Minyue navy arrived, they looked at each other in a row, and no one dared to take the lead in boarding the ship.

The Yue Song, which had been sung for a night, floated up again from countless Fujian Yue soldiers' warships and finally resounded through the sky.

The Wu Junbo ship was dead silent.

Yu Shan imitated the plan of being surrounded by enemies at Gaixia, hoping that Wu army and Liu Ju on the tower ship would fall off the ship and surrender themselves.I thought to myself, and suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by another faint song heard in my ears.

It was like a fighting song, a Han accent song came from the giant Wu army's ship, singing a song of the Han army that Han Jing and I had heard on the day we bid farewell to Han Cheng on the day we went to war at Xuanping Gate in Chang'an:

The wind rises and the clouds fly, and the flames of Han are magnificent and vast.

The feathered edicts urged the beacons, and the bandits galloped around the world were busy.

Bai Deng has surrounded three thousand levels, and the East China Sea is like a golden soup.

The Western Rong horses are fat and sharp in their bows, and the Qin bones on the Five Rings cry cold at night.

The Han army cavalry was young, and they were reluctant to leave the tears in their spring boudoir.

When the Qing Dynasty is on the Qing Dynasty, I will return to my hometown with a title of marquis!

The song grew from small to large, and it was obvious that more and more surviving Wu soldiers on the sea joined the chorus.

The majestic singing of Ganyun actually overwhelmed the Yue Song of the surrounding Fujian Yue Army in terms of momentum.

If I hadn't watched the fierce battle for a night on the shore, I might have mistakenly thought that the Vietnamese army was surrounded rather than the Wu army.

It was not until this time that I realized it for the first time that the Wu army in front of me, who had been stranded in Dongye and feared by the Minyue royal family for many years, was actually a Han army in essence... At the end of that day, facing Yu Shan's surrender, maybe I knew what I would face when I landed on the shore. Liu Ju and the surviving Wu army general did not choose to put down their weapons.

The stalemate was in the evening, and the Wu army on the ship finally shot all the arrows and stopped counterattacking.

When the bloody sunset floated on the sea level, I saw Liu Ju leading the surviving Wu army officers and soldiers to the bow of the ship and bowed north together.

Finally, in the last fire attack launched by the Minyue arms ship, they turned into ashes with the giant Han-style building ship...

……

After the entire Wu army was wiped out, the sea seal continued.

Although the Han army in Kuaiji County returned to Kuaiji after Minyue abandoned Dongou and retreated south, suspicion between Han and Yue had already arisen.

The Han Dynasty isolated the business trips to Minyue, and the sea traffic to the north was also cut off.

For a moment, I was trapped in Dongye and could not return to the north.

I just miss Han Jing every day, and I feel anxious.

Unlike me, life is still the same for most people in Dongye.

The only impact they could perceive was that there were many Wu soldiers speaking Northern Chinese in the market, and the exquisite Han subway farm tools made by the Wu army disappeared from the Dongye Market.

Of course, this was an extremely wonderful day for the Zuo royal family.

The Wu army's sharp sword that had been hanging above Zuo's head disappeared, and the military power of the Minyue Kingdom was all over the hands of his younger brother Zuo Yushan, which greatly relieved the King Zuo Ying of Minyue.

Soon, a news began to circulate at the tribute office.

It is said that the King of Minyue was about to send an envoy to Chang'an to apologize, and also explained the consequences of Liu Ju's threatening to attack Dong'ou.

I was secretly happy, thinking that I was about to get the opportunity to go to the north again.

Sure enough, not long after, I was summoned to the palace by the King of Minyue again.

The villain paid homage to the king... As soon as I entered Zuo Ying's room, I knelt down and bowed, and a smile appeared at the corner of my mouth facing the ground, waiting for Zuo Ying to give me the order to serve.

Oh, you are here.

When Zuo Ying saw me, he was different from the kindness and easy-goingness he had when he secretly summoned me at night last time, and he changed into a cold and majestic tone.

Could it be that Liu Ju's confidant was eliminated and Zuo Ying began to make the name of the King of Minyue when he lost the pressure?I was surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment, so I continued to lie quietly on the ground.

Huang Qian, I summoned you, and there is something to you.If you can't do this properly, I will definitely take the head of your neck.After a while of silence, Zuo Ying suddenly spoke, but his words were serious and without any joke.

When I heard this, I thought that I was thinking that the last time I sent an envoy to write to the Han emperor and asked him to attach the Han Dynasty to me, so I was angry?

He quickly replied tremblingly: If you have anything to do, just give your order. The villain must do his best and never refuse to die.

Well, it's very good.Huang Qian, do you know what happened to me when I summoned you late at night to order you to go to Chang'an for urgent envoyment?

The villain remembers it.The king ordered the villain to submit the secret order to the Chang'an Grand Continent, and detailed the wish of the Han Dynasty.I replied volley.

Haha, that's not the main reason.You don’t think about it. There are so many people in the tribute office, why should I send you a minor official to handle such an important matter?Let me tell you the truth. Gu originally wanted to send an eunuch close to Gu to handle this matter that time. Zuo cried and begged me to ask me to arrange for you to leave Dongye as soon as possible to avoid disaster. Gu Cai arranged it like that...

After hearing this, I was confused and had to continue to stumble and ask: Avoid disaster?The villain is dull, please help the king to solve his doubts.

Zuo Ying didn't say anything. For a moment, he walked towards me and rubbed his toes against my elbow to signal me to get up and speak.

After I stood up, he continued to say: Now that Liu Ju and Wu's army have been eliminated, I might as well tell you clearly.In fact, when I summoned you at night, my Zuo family was in great danger.Shortly after Gu had the idea of ​​being attached to the Han Dynasty a few years ago, Gu arranged for his younger brother Yu Shan, who was an insider in the Wu army, began to report to Gu Secret, saying that Liu Ju planned to take action at the right time, kill all members of the Zuo royal family, and become the lord of the Minyue family by himself.

When Liu Ju was in trouble, I, Minyue, took him in and settled, but he did such an unrighteous act and deserved to die!I said indignantly.

It's Ah, isn't this the story of Mr. Dongguo, Song.After Gu learned about this situation, he thought hard about his plans.There are many orphan sisters, but only Zuo has the most outstanding appearance and temperament.Gu finally thought of letting Zuo approach Liu Ju on purpose, and tried to match her with Liu Ju to comfort Liu Ju and temporarily delay attacking the Zuo royal family.But... at that time, Zuo was in love with you, so Gu mentioned this matter repeatedly and was rejected by her...

When Zuo Ying said this, he paused and sighed: Don’t blame Gu Wuqing. In that dangerous environment, Gu really has no good way.Later, I asked the tribute office to arrange for you to go to the north for the first time, and in fact I also had this consideration.You did not return for more than two years on the mission. During that period, Yu Shan secretly reported that Liu Ju might take action at any time, so Gu had to inform Zuo of the emergency and begged her to save the entire Zuo family's life. Zuo finally agreed with tears.

Before you go back to Dongye for the first time, Gu specially arranged for Liu Ju and Zuo to meet at several banquets.Liu Ju, the lustful person, really took the bait and began to pursue Zuo.Zuo forced himself to silence with him for a while, and you were back.

When I heard this, I suddenly realized it and felt extremely emotional: I suddenly changed from a pure girl to a lewd and demonic look around Liu Ju. It turned out that I had no choice but to...

Seeing our complex expressions, Zuo Ying patted my shoulder and continued: Later, I heard Zuo cry and said that on the first day you came back, you ran into her and Liu Ju. I was furious and broke my love.In fact, Gu felt uncomfortable, but he had no choice.Liu Ju was extremely powerful at that time, and he could not control himself as the King of Minyue alone.One day, Zuo looked for me at night and said in panic that Liu Ju wanted to marry her. Let you, Zuo's old boyfriend, be in trouble and send his subordinate Wu Jun to kill you.Zuo cried and begged me to send you an envoy to Chang'an to avoid disaster in the north, so I summoned you late at night and arranged for you to go on an envoy with the tribute department. By the way, I wrote to the Chang'an Grand Order for formally requesting the envoy to be attached to China...

When I heard this, it was like a basin of cold water falling from the sky and pouring on my head. I felt guilty about Zuo, and I could only bow to Zuo Ying, the King of Minyue, and replied: Thank you for telling the villain so much about it. It turns out that Zuo and Liu Ju are together with so many stories behind it... Without her... I might have been killed by Liu Ju long ago...

Well... Just know her affection for you.After your second mission, this silly girl cried with Gu several times. Gu also knew that she had only you in her heart.

After hearing Zuo Ying say this, a bitter feeling rose in my heart.

The scene of Zuoying and Liu Ju playing together in the forest suddenly appeared before my eyes again: I'm afraid Zuoying doesn't understand his sister.If he had seen Ye Zuo's lewd attitude, he would not have the nerve to say that I was the only one in Zuo's heart.

My thoughts were not over yet, and Zuo Ying's words spread into my ears, which made me almost cry.

After Liu Ju was killed, I was still very depressed when I saw Zuo Xiao recently. I guess it was because you ignored her, so I had ordered a marriage to Zuo Xiao.What Gu wants you to do is to treat Gu's sister well and don't let her down, otherwise Gu will definitely not let you go... In addition... Gu has asked Situ to arrange for you to be transferred to the chief clerk of Dongye Port, responsible for overseas merchant ships to berth on the Dongye Port tax payment certificates and other matters.This is a fat man, and you don’t have to continue on missions in the future, and suffer from the long-distance running.After marriage, please spend time with your family more... …
