Chu Huan was able to control his emotions most of the time, but at this moment, his face was a little bad. He looked at Yuan Chongshang with a serious expression and asked, "Is the Governor preparing to raid Yusuohu Lake tonight?"

Yuan Chongshang nodded and smiled, "No," pointed at Yusuohu Lake, "The troops of the commander Fang have left the shore and are advancing towards Yusuohu Lake. Lord Chu, if nothing unexpected happens, we can celebrate the achievements by dawn."

Chu Huan said solemnly: "But the master did not tell me in advance that he would attack Yusuohu."

Yuan Chongshang said with a hint of apology: "Don't be surprised by Lord Chu. I will hold a banquet to apologize to you. To be honest, I followed the emperor and fought south and north, but I learned several ways to fight. There are some military laws, and it is said that it is true to be false, and it is false to be true. Only when the Huang family seems to have few people, but it is not easy to deal with. If you want to defeat them in one fell swoop, you can only use unexpected means...!"

Chu Huan sighed: "Maybe the Governor has hidden this trick from everyone."

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "If you want to be surprised, you naturally have to do it so that no one can imagine it. The opponent will not think of it, nor will you think of it... Lord Chu, it is not that the governor will trust you, but this battle is long under the plan of our governor. Even the governor has just received the military order from our governor. Lord Chu, don't be angry. At the celebration banquet tomorrow, I will have a few more drinks with you."

Chu Huan turned his gaze to the dark Yusuohu Lake, and was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "The Governor is naturally bound to win the battle tonight."

"These imperial guards under our governor will not be able to fight in water, but as long as they board the island, the Huang family will be vulnerable." Yuan Chongshang said confidently: "Mr. Chu doesn't know that the Huang family has always been sluts in Taiyuan City, and they are actually very familiar with many things about the government, so we naturally have to be cautious in our actions. However, his eyeliner is in Taiyuan City, and our governor also has eyeliner in Yusuohu Lake. Our governor has received reports, and the people on the island think that our governor will never attack the island in the near future. In their opinion, our governor will only fight with them until four warships are built. Because of this, the rebels on the island have been very relaxed recently."

"So the adults also have eyeliners on the island?"

"Where are no brave men under a lot of money?" Yuan Chongshang was a little glorious. "The rioters on the island have become accustomed to the bright lights around Yusuo Lake. Most of them have fallen asleep at this time... Fang Commander led his troops into two groups and rushed straight to the two islands. The troops besieged Yusuo Lake exceeded 10,000, but the governor had quietly deployed half of the troops here, and the other three sides were just bluffing. The governor launched an attack from the east tonight, as long as they boarded the island...!" He said that, he did not continue, but the meaning of it was naturally self-evident.

As long as you avoid fighting with the Huang family on the lake and accidentally killing two islands, the Huang family will naturally be no match for it.

Chu Huan realized at this time that Yuan Chongshang built ships in large quantities just to confuse the Huang family, making the Huang family mistakenly think that Yuan Chongshang would only launch an attack after the warship was repaired.

His subordinates advised that the construction of ships should be kept away from Yusuohu Lake, so as not to get too much information from the Huang family. However, Yuan Chongshang claimed that doing so was a pressure on the Huang family, and of course it was just a concealment.

On a cold night in the deep winter, perhaps no one could have thought that Yuan Chongshang would suddenly launch an attack. Today, he took many officials, including the imperial envoy, to Yusuohu by the name of patrolling the construction site. His real purpose was probably to let everyone witness the battle he had been planning with his own eyes.

The night wind was bleak, and there seemed to be a trace of ghost howling in the wind. There was still a ping-pong sound on the construction site, and it was like an emergency work.

Chu Huan could not see clearly what the officers and soldiers were doing now. The surface of Yusuo Lake was pitch black, and he could only vaguely see the two islands in the lake with ignition lights.

Yuan Chongshang held Chu Huan's hand and smiled, "Mr. Chu, the wine has not been finished yet, let's continue drinking." He smiled at Xuanyuan Shengcai, "General Xuanyuan, come, let's have a few more drinks." After the few people sat down, Yuan Chongshang asked Xuanyuan Shengcai with a smile, "General Xuanyuan came to Taiyuan. He was busy with Lord Chu every day, and he couldn't sit down and chat. By the way, how is the old man in good health?"

Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Shengcai certainly knew who the "old Duke" in Yuan Chongshang's words meant.

In the empire, only Duke An Guo and Duke Ding were called old Dukes. Duke An Guo Huang Ju had fallen, and the rest was naturally the only Duke Ding Xuanyuan Pingzhang.

Xuanyuan Sheng nodded and said, "I am worried about it if you are the Governor, and my uncle is pretty good. However, he is old and his injuries often recur. He has been recuperating at home for many years and rarely comes out to walk around."

Yuan Chongshang sighed: "The old man is both civil and military, not only good at fighting, but also good at scheduling and managing finances. I still remember when I was with the old man, thanks to the old man's repeated guidance. Now, it seems that it happened yesterday."

Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled and said, "Uncle also mentioned the Governor. The Governor followed the Emperor and marched eastward all the way and resolved many dangers. The Emperor created the Great Qin Dynasty. The Governor also made an indelible contribution!"

Yuan Chongshang laughed and said, "If you say that you have to make a contribution, the old Duke's contribution is the greatest contribution. The emperor divided his troops into two groups, one of which was led by the emperor to the east, and the western expedition was handed over to General Feng and the old Duke. General Feng and the old Duke supported each other and cooperated with each other. During the Western expedition, they sang triumphantly all the way...!" At this point, he shook his head and sighed: "The emperor really knew people with a wise eye. In the early Western expedition, the emperor was full of talents. The emperor finally chose General Feng and the old Duke. They did not disappoint the emperor's honor. It's a pity that General Feng... Alas, the old Duke and General Feng have always had a good relationship. When General Feng was killed, the old Duke might be very sad."

Xuanyuan Sheng sighed: "After I learned about General Feng's murder, I didn't eat for several days. The two of them came out of blood and fire together, so the relationship was naturally extraordinary."

Chu Huan asked, "I heard that when the Western Expedition was in charge of General Feng, he was responsible for dispatching the army and leading troops to fight, and the old Duke was responsible for logistics and supplies?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai nodded and said, "Yes, General Feng is brave and invincible in combat. The uncle later recruited food, grass and supplies for him, so that General Feng had no worries. At that time, the eighteen countries in the world occupied the five countries in the northwest. Under the leadership of General Feng, our great Qin army conquered the five countries in a row. The remnants of the five countries retreated all the way west. General Feng pursued them all, and finally wiped out all the remnants of the five countries...!"

Yuan Chongshang laughed, Chu Huan remained silent, but he could see that although Yuan Chongshang was chatting here, he turned his eyes to the dark Yusuohu Lake from time to time. It was obvious that he seemed calm, but in fact he was nervous.

Many officials were already asleep and even started to snore. The three of them seemed to be talking and laughing, but their moods were different.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a noise mixed with the wind. Yuan Chongshang heard the sound and was the first to get up, and walked quickly to the railings of the tower. Chu Huan also got up and followed him. At this time, he saw the figures on the shore of the lake. There were bursts of exclamations in the wind. Xuanyuan Sheng had already heard the sound of: "Then...what is going on?"

Without Xuanyuan Shengcai's words, Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan have seen surprising scenes.

At some point, there was a fire in the Yusuo Lake. From a distance, I saw that Yusuo Lake seemed to be burning, with the blazing flames illuminating the surface of Yusuo Lake extremely bright.

Yuan Chongshang's face was dull at this time, and Chu Huan's eyebrows were locked together.

The fire was burning the ships.

Chu Huan could see that in Yusuo Lake, countless ships were burning in the blazing flames, and the sounds from the wind became clearer and clearer, mostly heart-wrenching and tragic screams.

Yuan Chongshang stared blankly at the lake where the fire was soaring into the sky. The flames stretched for miles. His hands were tightly clamped on the railings, and the veins burst. At this moment, several officials had approached. The head of the Ministry of Revenue was drunk and looked at the raging fire on the lake. He asked in confusion: "Why... why is it on fire? Why is the lake... why is the lake burning?"

He went there suddenly, but saw Yuan Chongshang turning around suddenly, like a wounded beast, rushing downstairs. Chu Huan knew that something was wrong, so he quickly followed him. Several people went downstairs one after another. Yuan Chongshang quickly ran down the mountain. He ran very quickly, just like countless evil ghosts chasing him behind him.

On the shore, the few officers and soldiers left behind and the craftsmen and servants with numerous people had already squeezed to the lake. They had already seen the firelight spreading on the lake for several miles, and also heard the screams from the lake. The sky-sooning flames shone brightly on the Yusuo Lake as bright as day. Many people saw the ships in the firelight, and even saw many people jumping into the lake from the burning boats.

Water and fire are interspersed, with brutality and cruelty.

Most of them still don’t know what happened at all, but some people already understand that the ships burned by flames in the lake are the ships of officers and soldiers.

The craftsmen were working hard before, and not many people knew when the ships left the shore.

Yuan Chongshang ran to the lake almost in one breath. When he saw the Governor coming, everyone hurriedly dispersed and gave way out a place. Yuan Chongshang clenched his fists, his eyes were broken, and he looked at the fire in the lake. After a moment, he finally shouted loudly: "Where is the ship? Go and rescue..." He looked like crazy, and a person next to him said carefully: "Governor, the ship has left, only... only a few small boats..."

"Catch the boat and kill it!" Yuan Chongshang said sternly. At this time, many people on the shore were also holding torches, and a firelight. He saw two small boats not far away, rushing over and jumping onto the boat, but he felt his arms tight and had been pulled. He was furious and turned his head, but he saw that Chu Huan was holding him, but he couldn't help saying, "What are you doing? Let go!"

Chu Huan looked solemn and shook his head and said, "Governor, it's too late. It's useless for you to go there now..."
