Early the next morning, Zhuang Yong packed up and prepared to go to Hulu Mountain in the southwest of Yanping Island with his own soldiers, which was a drill tactic that had been formulated, and naturally it would not be easily changed, according to the plan, Bai Shangnian would be responsible for sitting in the Chinese army and commanding the troops to deploy on Yanping Island.

Nearly 20,000 troops are on this Yanping Island, and the probability of Shen Leng wanting to win by surprise is almost zero, fortunately, both sides of this battle know that the real confrontation is not in the drill, only the soldiers are seriously preparing for the war, and the hearts of people who can reach a higher level are hanging, just waiting for the damned people to die after this battle, and the people who should be on top will take the position.

Zhuang Yongcai received a message sent by Bai Shangnian when he was halfway there, saying that General Bai's condition had worsened sharply last night and he had begun to vomit blood.

Zhuang Yong only hummed and didn't react, and he still wanted to laugh in his heart.

In the Minfu camp, Dou Huainan, the chief secretary of the water division, hurried back from outside, and when he entered the door, he looked for water and drank two cups in a row before he eased up: "Zhuang Yong has already set off, and after a stick of incense, you can go to the foot of Hulu Mountain." ”

"A stick of incense?"

Zhang Baihe paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly stopped: "Let people kill them now." ”

"What?"

Dou Huainan's face changed suddenly: "According to the plan, we should wait for Zhuang Yong to climb the mountain before launching an attack." ”

"There's no need."

Zhang Baihe beckoned to call the people guarding outside in: "You are all General Bai's cronies, today's battle is not only about your personal life and death, but also about the general's honor and disgrace. ”

His voice gradually became excited: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things are not afraid of sacrifice, and the more dangerous the place, the greater the harvest, you are in the forefront today, and the generals of other days are also in the forefront of the merit, and I will pass with you in the future of seeking fame in danger, and now blow the horn and let those water bandits rush to the bottom of the mountain to intercept and kill Zhuang Yong." ”

One of them asked, "How can I get those bandits to believe?" ”

Zhang Baihe said: "I'll come." ”

He walked quickly outside, and saw a gong hanging at the door, and when he took it off, it rang out, and in a short time many bandits gathered around.

Zhang Baihe's face was angry, and he didn't know how to say this expression, he climbed to a high place, first pressed his hands to signal the crowd to be quiet, and then suddenly cried, howling and crying, the bandits were startled and talked about what was happening.

"I'm sorry everyone!"

Zhang Baihe raised his head violently, his face was full of pathos: "It's me who I'm sorry for everyone, I thought I could take everyone on a Yangguan Avenue, and I didn't have to live the kind of days of hiding in Tibet all day long, and I would eat and drink spicy food after wearing a military uniform and being an official family, but I didn't expect that I was deceived, and I didn't expect that the admiral Zhuang Yong was such a ruthless person!" ”

"That's him!"

Zhang Baihe raised his hand and pointed to the side of Hulu Mountain: "He said last night that he was going to invite you to drink, and by the way to discuss the integration of the matter, and swore that he would arrange military positions for all of you in advance, all of them are generals, but you are not afraid that he happily went to the banquet, but he was ambushed at the banquet, Zhuang Yong's treacherous villain, we should avenge the master, Zhuang Yong is a thief like everyone will be punished!" ”

His pathos turned into firmness and fighting spirit: "We can't just sit still, I know that Zhuang Yong has just arrived at the foot of Hulu Mountain at this time to prepare how to encircle and suppress us, now is our last chance, everyone will kill with me in Hulu Mountain and hack Zhuang Yong to death with a knife to avenge your family, and then let's directly reverse Yanping Island, although I am a court official, I am also fighting with you today, to avenge the family!" ”

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

The crowd suddenly became boiling, and Zhang Baihe stood on a high place and shouted: "Kill me with me, the time for revenge has come!" ”

He jumped down from a high place, and the crowd immediately surged down Hulu Mountain like a tide, Zhang Baihe jumped down and turned around and hid behind the house along the corner, and after the crowd rushed out of the gate, he came back and instructed those Bai Shangnian's men: "Someone needs to lead the team, you rush to the front, as long as they see someone who dares to do it, they will follow, today's battle depends on you, I will now go to see General Bai to snatch the sailor warship, and after you succeed, you will immediately enter Hulu Mountain to hide temporarily, Soon after, the general's elite will wipe out all these bandits, and you will come out when the fighting has subsided, so as not to hurt the innocent. ”

The men answered, drew their knives and caught up with the bandits.

Zhang Baihe glanced back, but found that Dou Huainan was gone, he scolded in a low voice and then sped up his pace to leave, where did he dare to find Bai Shangnian, with his speculation Bai Shangnian was no longer on Yanping Island at this time, the old fox wanted to get rid of the matter, Zhang Baihe didn't believe that he could get out in the end.

Only when Dou Huainan and him are dead, will Bai Shangnian's arrangement for the water bandits to enter Yanping Island not be leaked, and the dead can keep their mouths shut.

Zhang Baihe ran to the shore in one go, and in a very dense grass he hid a small boat with branches and grass, and the boat not only prepared knives and salutes, but also prepared some food, which showed the depth of this man's scheming.

"You want me to be a stepping stone on your way to promotion, and you want to be beautiful."

Zhang Baihe rowed the boat away, he was studying and practicing martial arts in the Yanta Academy, although the martial arts were ordinary but the physical strength was not bad, the two arms swayed, and the boat quickly rushed towards the opposite shore.

On the other side of Yanping Island, a large ship left the shore and headed for the Nanping River.

Bai Shangnian stood at the bow of the boat with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew that things had come to this point and he was already close to success, and it didn't matter much if he stayed and left, and in order to facilitate His Majesty's question in the future, it was naturally a better choice to leave here, and when the time came, he only asked three questions, what else could His Majesty do? It's just a big deal to dismiss the official, when the overall situation has been decided, Your Majesty is not Your Majesty, the new emperor is a general himself when he ascends the throne, and now he still cares about what is the use of this.

He is not worried that the prince will cross the river and tear down the bridge after he ascends the throne, and he will ascend to the throne for the first time, if there is only one Mu Zhaotong among the supporters of the new emperor, he will still not be able to sit steadily, without the support of the military, who knows that he can sit on that chair for a few days, don't forget that the poor son Li Xiaoran ran all the way to Chang'an City, wasn't he stopped by nine thousand sword soldiers and could not enter the city.

Without the support of the Bai family, the prince's power will be greatly reduced, even the descendants will not dare to be so presumptuous, and Yiziying has been in business for many years, and he can command it if he changes someone casually?

Thinking of this, Bai Shangnian was in a much better mood, and Zhuang Yong's old fox seemed to be slightly aware of it, but since Hulu Mountain made a move, there would be no accident, because ......

The corners of Bai Shangnian's mouth hooked, Zhang Baihe was a smart person, but he would never have imagined that the real fatal blow to Zhuang Yong was naturally not those unsuccessful water bandits, just a group of rabble, those water bandits were just a gimmick.

"Only you planted people in my Yizi camp?"

Bai Shangnian sneered, and then ordered: "Hurry up and leave this ghost place as soon as possible." ”

The subordinates immediately responded to urge the boatman, and vaguely seemed to hear the shouts of killing, of course, this was just an illusion, how could they hear the sound of Hulu Mountain on the other side of Yanping Island.

At the foot of Hulu Mountain, Zhuang Yong has fallen into siege, and the water bandits who come all over the mountains are red-eyed, none of them doubt whether the leader was killed by Zhuang Yong, they only know that if they don't resist at this time, they may really be at the mercy of others, these people are bandits, killing people without blinking, if not everyone gets the silver, everyone gets a promise, they are more willing to continue to be water bandits at ease.

At the beginning, Zhang Baihe persuaded them that the determination of the sailors to suppress the bandits was unshakable, and now His Majesty has also issued a strict decree to give Zhuang Yong a time limit to completely wipe out the bandits on the Grand Canal on the Nanping River.

However, all of this was wiped out just now, and the head of the family was killed, and the sailor finally had to slaughter them all, and the fierce aura of these people came out with murderous intent, and the hatred for the sailor and the Daning officials was raised to the extreme.

"Protect the Admiral!"

Zhuang Yong's pro-soldiers were shouting loudly, and one hundred and ten pro-soldiers immediately lined up, the shields were erected, the crossbows were opened, and the three-layer defensive formation of the long knife was unsheathed in the shortest possible time, although the number of people was small, the formation looked as stable as a mountain.

The water bandits approached with their weapons brandished, twisting like demons and monsters.

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed over from the other side and stumbled, and he ran not far away and shouted: "General, go, go!" ”

Zhuang Yong looked out and saw that it was Dou Huainan, the chief secretary of the water master who supervised the construction project on Yanping Island, and the person who was wearing a civilian official uniform and running like a duck looked at it with a little disgust, but it was also a little brave to rush over at such a time.

The two pro-soldiers glanced at each other and then opened a gap in the defensive formation, Dou Huainan rushed in panting, bending over and gasping for breath, his lungs that looked tired were about to explode.

"General, you have to be careful."

Dou Huainan raised his head and said.

Zhuang Yong stretched out his hand to help him: "Be careful of what?" ”

Dou Huainan turned out a dagger from his cuff: "Be careful that someone wants to do something to you!" ”

At the same time, on the Taihu Lake, the big boat that Bai Shangnian was riding was already far away from Yanping Island, and it was not far from entering the Nanping River, and it would only take half an hour to turn into the Nanping River.

Bai Shangnian's mood became better and better, he took a deep breath in the lake breeze, opened his arms, and felt that his body was extremely transparent and comfortable.

At that moment there was the sound of footsteps behind him, and the sound of ticking and ticking, and when he turned around, he saw a guy dressed in white striding up from the cabin with a black iron chisel in his hand, and the sound of the iron chisel was still dripping from the iron chisel, and the sound of falling on the deck was harsh.

The man looked young and handsome, but one eye looked so strange, strangely murderous.
