However, just as Wu Gong spread out the map and everyone was preparing to hold a meeting.
A soldier outside came to report that someone was looking for Wu Gong.
"Why are there people coming here at this time? This shouldn't happen." Wu Gong wondered.
When the person came in, Wu Gong was shocked.
"Hehe, martial arts, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
With a sly laugh, the person who came was Lu Laotie.
"My friend, why are you here at this time? Didn't you go surfing at sea?" Wu Gong asked.
Lu Laotie casually greeted the others present, then pulled over a chair and sat down, saying,
"No, no boat dares to come here now. So I came here to help you."
"Help us?" Wu Gong was stunned for a moment, "You are floating on the water..."
Halfway through his speech, Wu Gong seemed to realize something.
He turned back to the map and looked at it, thinking as he looked.
"Haha, that's great." Wu Gong suddenly grinned.
Everyone had no idea what he was talking about, and they all gathered around to see what was going on.
Lu Laotie was confused. Why was he so happy just because he came here to practice martial arts?
"What's so great about martial arts?" Lu Laotie scratched his head, confused.
"Come, let me guess," Wu Gongzhizhu continued.
"Young Master must have asked you to lead the troops to the Canglan River, right? To directly intercept the imperial court's southern expeditionary force from here and prevent them from crossing the river."
"You, how did you know?" Lu Laotie's eyes widened. He was not very happy.
"Oh, that's boring. I wanted to keep it a secret, but I didn't expect you to see through me."
"Hehe, it has to be the young master again, buddy. What did the young master say?" Wu Gong chuckled.
"It's very simple. Just lead the team to guard these ferry crossings. If the imperial army dares to board the ship, just drive them back."
"What about the water patrol? Are there any arrangements?"
"Of course there are. Anyway, we are here, don't worry, they won't be able to cross Canglan River."
"That's great. How long will your mission take?" Wu Gong asked again.
"There's no set time. The young master said we can talk to you guys about it. He meant to wait until you've finished collecting the southern part.
We'll be here for a long time, and we'll have to take you across the river when the time comes." Lu Laotie spread his hands.
"Okay, that's it. Just don't let me down." Wu Gong said with a smile.
When Lu Laotie heard this, he was unhappy.
"Tsk, who's the one who dropped the ball? I've never dropped the ball before."
Wu Gong gave him a thumbs up. Then he saw Lao Tie trying to pull him over to talk with a sly grin on his face.
After hearing about Lao Tie's deeds, Wu Gong immediately said that he was busy and needed to tell everyone about the situation, and let Lao Tie go and have fun by himself.
Lu Laotie left in disappointment. With no one to play with him, he could only follow a few of his men to the city to see if there was anything fun to do.
In the military camp, Wu Gong explained what had just happened to everyone in detail.
“…So, we don’t have to worry about the imperial army.
Just continue with the plan at hand and take over the area south of the Canglan River."
"That's too easy," Guo Hao said after hearing it. "Haha, I've never fought such an easy battle."
All the generals were smiling, and even some of the more irritable ones were eager to fight with the imperial army's southern expedition. From the beginning of the northern expedition to now, they had never fought a real battle with real swords and guns.
Having said that, Jiang Hai had already considered these things in Yuezhou. He felt that fighting foreign races was fine, but if it could avoid casualties among his own people, it should be avoided as much as possible.
After all, Dayong’s population was not that large, only about 30 to 40 million.
In the current situation, many families still rely on military pay for their livelihood. If they are killed in the war, their families will probably not be able to survive either.
And what is Young Master Jiang, who asked his old friend Lu to go to the front line for support, doing now?
He is on his way to Nanzhou.
In the carriage, Jiang Hai was lying comfortably, with his legs crossed, talking to his wife.
"My dear, this is the real road. The old official roads were not called official roads at all. They were so bumpy that it was almost like a bumpy road."
"Haha, just show off."
Yuchi Ziling sat in a seat closer to the front. Through the gap in the car curtain, she could see a bit of the road conditions ahead and laughed with a bit of schadenfreude.
The road from Yuezhou to Nanzhou is under construction. From Yuezhou to now, the road is flat.
Just when Jiang Hai was showing off, the flat road was almost ending and the road ahead was still under construction.
Just before Jiang Hai boasted for a minute, the carriage turned and went down the cement road to a temporary dirt road nearby.
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
When he went from the cement road to the dirt road, his carriage with suspension broke down and bounced up directly.
Only then did he realize that he had reached a dirt road.
Fortunately, this section of road is not long. It is built on both sides towards the middle, and after a while you will be able to reach a flat road again.
These days in Yuezhou, Jiang Hai can be idle again. Yang Hongjin's team is now on track, and he can just use Master Liu to help him.
And there are martial arts outside helping Guo Hao.
When he had nothing to do, the road from Yuezhou to Nanzhou was about to be completed, so Jiang Hai said he wanted to go to Nanzhou for a stroll.
So today they came to Nanzhou with four people and a carriage.
"Nanzhou City, you want to meet Li Wanji, right?" Yuchi Ziling teased.
After asking this question, she felt strange and a little itchy in her heart.
"Yes, that's right, you guessed it right." Jiang Hai admitted it directly.
“…”
"Don't think too much about it. We just met by chance. Now that she's not doing business with the Hibiscus Chamber of Commerce anymore, she should be happy to switch jobs."
Seeing that his wife looked a little unnatural, Jiang Hai explained briefly.
"Yeah, I know."
The eldest lady nodded. She now knew Jiang Hai's temper. Jiang Hai had explained everything to her before, so she didn't think much about it.
But sometimes, even if she didn't think much about it, her expression would become unnatural, and she didn't know why she brought up this topic.
Jiang Hai found it a little funny when he saw her conflicted look, but he always knew when to act and would take her with him.
This was not Jiang Hai's main purpose for coming to Nanzhou. He wanted to take a look around and see if he could develop some industries here.
Let’s take a look at the dock by the way. It’s time to upgrade it. The throughput will definitely increase a lot in the future, and the current dock will definitely not be enough.
Besides, I have stayed in Yuezhou for too long, so it would be nice to come out and get some fresh air and feel the sea breeze.
Back on the flat cement road, Jiang Hai looked out the window at the scenery outside. He said with some emotion,
"Summer is almost over before I knew it. Time flies."
"Well, who says it isn't? We've been married for a year." Yuchi Ziling said with a bit of melancholy.
"What do you want to say?"
"No children yet."
"..." Jiang Hai felt tired. This hurdle was so hard to overcome.
