Chapter 788 Suspicion
At this time, everyone leaned against the edge of the tower. Yuan Chongshang raised his hand and pointed at Yusuohuohu Lake and smiled: "Mr. Chu, here you can see Yusuohu Lake. Look, in front of us, the largest lake in Anyi."
It was a bit exaggerated in my eyes, but Chu Huan could roughly see the outline of Yusuo Lake. The ships scattered by the lake were like ants at this time, and the figures dodged on the shore, like dense small black dots squirming. Chu Huan knew that it was Fang Shihao who was ordering troops to board the boat, so that these land ducks could adapt to the feeling of being on the boat.
Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the two islands in the middle of Yusuo Lake, which are quite far from the shore, and it is vaguely visible, but you can also vaguely see the dark shadows on the edge of the island, as if they are the ships of the Huang family.
"Mr. Chu is famous for his talent." The head of the Ministry of Revenue Department beside him bowed his body and smiled: "Mr. I passed the three tests in the Iron Blood Garden, and his literary talent is outstanding. With such an opportunity, may I wish to show my literary talent and write a poem?"
Everyone next to him immediately said, "It's not bad, the imperial envoy is outstanding in literary talent, please write poems!"
Chu Huan immediately waved his hand and smiled, "You are making fun of you. Poetry, songs and essays are not my favorite. If anyone has a good time, you might as well show your skills."
Everyone was naturally smiling, but Yuan Chongshang had already said, "Since you mother-in-law and mother are not here, I will write a poem!"
Everyone was stunned. Everyone knew that Yuan Chongshang was born as a martial artist and didn't know much about literacy. He really didn't expect that this governor would have a good time to write poems at this time, which made everyone feel incredible.
Yuan Chongshang touched his rough beard and thought about it, and finally said: "There is a lake in front, and the lake is white. The white water turns red, which is worth the real man!"
Everyone was stunned, but Yuan Chongshang had already laughed and said, "What do you think of this poem in this supervisor?"
The head teacher said with a tough temper: "The poems of the great master are filled with a killing spirit between the lines. They are not something that ordinary people can do. A sentence that is worthy of a real man is even more... they are even more heroic!"
Everyone could only echo and praise.
Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "Everyone, let's sit down first. We won't go back to the city tonight. We will be in this tower and we will stop drunk!" He turned around and entered the ceremonies. After everyone sat down, someone brought hot food from downstairs. At that time, the officials pushed the cups and made the boxing orders, and drank and talked happily on the lake viewing platform.
Chu Huan was a little surprised. The banquet on the Guanhu platform seemed to have been prepared in advance. Chu Huan had only thought that Yuan Chongshang was taking him up the tower to take a look, but judging from what he meant now, the governor seemed to be really preparing to have a banquet all night on this tower. After three rounds of wine, two singers were even taken to the tower to play the piano and sing songs for everyone.
It was already dark, but lanterns were hung around the tower. The night wind by the lake was even colder than in the city, but everyone would not feel cold with good wine in their hands.
The construction site did not stop working because of the arrival of darkness. Torches were lit everywhere, and the fire was bright, and the construction site was still busy. Chu Huan could see clearly on the tower. Not only at the foot of the mountain, but also at the entire Yusuo Lake, there were fires illuminating from all directions. From the fire, it can be judged that Yusuo Lake was indeed surrounded by clusters.
Among the officials, the slightly less alcoholic speaking was unclear. Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang both had good alcohol tolerance. Both of them drank several pots of wine, but they were still not drunk at all.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs of the tower. Then he saw Fang Shihao coming out of the stairs. Yuan Chongshang had already raised his hand and smiled: "Co-General Fang, come here and have a drink together!"
Fang Shihao came up, sat down beside Yuan Chongshang, and said, "Sir, the general has transferred the officers and soldiers who will serve as the main attacker in the future to the ship. The general has ordered that from today until the capture of Yusuohu Lake, these guys will stay on the ship for food and accommodation."
Yuan Chongshang smiled and said, "You are always at ease when you do things." He actually filled the wine and delivered the wine glass to Fang Shihao, saying, "Come on, Fang Zheng, you will do this glass of wine first!"
Fang Shihao hurriedly said, "I dare not!"
Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "I will let you drink it. You are my confidant and beloved general of me to suppress Yusuohu. You are the vanguard general of me. I will naturally have to give you a cup first. He will also take my elite troops to capture Yusuohu in one fell swoop."
Fang Shihao immediately stood up, took Yuan Chongshang's wine glass, held it in both hands, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Governor General, as long as he gives orders, the last general will lead his elite troops and capture the Huang family's rebellion all in one place!"
"Okay, okay!" Yuan Chongshang clapped his hands and laughed, and saw Fang Shihao drinking all the wine in the wine glass, getting up, pulling Fang Shihao's arm, walking aside, and whispering. Chu Huan turned his head and looked over. After seeing Yuan Chongshang whispering Fang Shihao for a few words, Fang Shihao's expression changed slightly. He was curious and didn't know what Yuan Chongshang said secretly.
After a while, Fang Shihao returned to the table with Yuan Chongshang. Yuan Chongshang sat down. Fang Shihao did not sit down, but bowed to everyone and said, "Everyone, military affairs are busy, please drink slowly!" He was straightforward and without saying much, he bowed to Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan, and then left quickly.
The commander of the division could not help but say, "Why did General Fang leave so hurriedly? What other important military affairs are there in the middle of the night?"
Yuan Chongshang raised his glass and said, "Mr. Chu, who is in charge of the emperor's will, will confiscate the assets of the Huang family. I don't understand such things, but you are the head of the Ministry of Revenue Department. You must obey Lord Chu's dispatches for all matters. If there is any mistake, Lord Chu will be generous and forgive you, but I will not forgive you!"
The headmaster hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to cooperate with Lord Chu to handle the matter of copying."
Yuan Chongshang laughed and picked up the wine glass again. In just a moment, there was another burst of laughter and joy above the tower.
"Mr. Chu, what do you think the Huang family rioters in Yusuo Lake are doing now?" Yuan Chongshang drank two more pots of wine. Although he had a lot of alcohol, he still had a little bit of alcohol.
Chu Huan smiled and asked, "Does the Governor know what they are doing?"
Yuan Chongshang shook his cup and said, "I'm afraid I'm already asleep at the cold night of the deep winter." He put down the wine glass and stretched. "If I hadn't been interested today, I would have been lying on the bed and fell asleep at this time."
Chu Huan agreed a bit about this. In the cold winter, it is late at night. For most people, the best place to go is naturally the warm bed.
Chu Huan laughed and said, "If it were me, I should have been in bed at this time."
Yuan Chongshang smiled and said, "I am here to suffer today. Lord Chu, don't mind." He leaned close to Chu Huan's ear and asked in a low voice: "Master Chu, do you think we are building ships here, especially four warships. Do the Huang family know about this?"
Chu Huan thought about it and finally said, "I'm afraid they have already received some news."
Yuan Chongshang smiled and said, "Not only the sound of the wind, I even thought that Huang Tianyi now had drawings of the four warships of this governor. He probably knew better than this governor...!" At this moment, half of the officials were drunk, some leaning on chairs, and some were lying on the table, confused. Yuan Chongshang had already gotten up, carried his hands on the railings, and walked to the railings of the tower, looking at Yusuo Lake. It was dark at this time, and only a few ignition lights were seen, but the scene of Yusuo Lake could no longer be seen. Chu Huan followed Yuan Chongshang to the railings. The cold night wind blew on his face, and Chu Huan actually felt a sense of comfort.
"Mr. Chu, do you think that once the four warships of this supervisor are built, will Yusuo Lake be quickly captured?" Yuan Chongshang was silent for a while and finally looked at Chu Huan.
Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "Water has no normal state, soldiers have no constant momentum. No one can decide who wins and who loses in any war before the result comes out."
Yuan Chongshang nodded and said, "Mr. Chu said well." He lowered his voice and said softly: "In fact, even if the four warships are really built, they may not be Huang Tianyi's opponent!"
Chu Huan was stunned.
Yuan Chongshang said slowly: "The Imperial Guards are not good at water warfare. There are no naval troops familiar with water warfare in the entire Anyi Road. Although there are only 3,000 people on the Huang family, most of them have excellent water quality. They are familiar with boats and paddles. The Imperial Guards are far from comparable to that in this regard. I am worried that even if the four warships are built, there may not be any skilled naval troops using the warships to fight the Huang family to the death...!"
At this moment, Xuanyuan Sheng next to him suddenly said, "Sir, look..."
Chu Huan turned his head to look, but saw Xuanyuan Shengcai pointing to the lake and looking in the direction he pointed. Xuanyuan Shengcai had already said: "The lights on the boat, all the lights are extinguished..."
Chu Huan then realized that the boats on the lake had lights on the lights before, but at this time, except for the rays on the shore, the boats in the lake were pitch black and there was no light at all.
Chu Huan's brows were locked, and suddenly realized something. He looked at Yuan Chongshang, but saw Yuan Chongshang calm and put his hands on the railing. He heard him continue, "The Imperial Guards have nothing in the water, but as long as they are on land, the Huang family is not an enemy at all." He raised his hand to point at the black Yusuo Lake, "As long as the troops of our governor board Taiping Island and Liyu Island, the Huang family's rioters are waiting to be slaughtered, vulnerable...!" He said this, and turned to Chu Huan and laughed: "Master Chu, when we fight, we have to play our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. Our governor has been building ships on a large scale. Everyone thought that our governor wanted to decide the victory and defeat with the Huang family in the water battle, but from the beginning, we had never thought about fighting with Huang Tianyi."
Chu Huan suddenly realized and sighed: "The Governor-General built a great ship, and even spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build four warships. All of this turned out to confuse the opponent."
"Everyone thought that our governor was going to fight Huang Tianyi in the water, and Huang Tianyi would naturally think so." Yuan Chongshang touched his rough beard and said, "He always thought that the four warships of our governor were not built, so he would not dare to fight him. So he must have thought that the day of war was when the four warships were launched...!" A strange smile appeared on his lips, "But since I did not plan to fight in the water, I would naturally not wait for the four warships to be built... Lord Chu, did you think that Huang Tianyi would have thought that the day of the decisive battle set by our governor was... today?"
