Zhao Hao returned to the city and met his father Zhao Wenxiang, Zhuo Ya, Xie Ying, Wu Song, Chen Yuliang and others. He gently waved his hand and said, "Is everything almost ready?"
Zhao Wenxiang nodded and said, "Everything is ready, just waiting for your order!"
Although he is Zhao Hao's father, he never oversteps the boundaries in official business.
Let it be as it should be.
As Zhao Hao issued orders one by one, he led everyone to directly withdraw from Luzhou and take a boat to Island No. 1.
Afterwards, the army led by Xiao Chuyun successfully entered the city.
Soon, Jiang Wan'er, who was in the imperial palace in Dagandijing, got the news.
Immediately, I felt very happy.
As expected, there was no surprise at all. Xiao Chuyun led the army and completely wiped out the two forces of the Savage King's Court and Zhao Hao at an extremely fast speed.
Da Gan's cavalry is now the strongest in Kyushu.
However, after hearing that it was Zhao Hao who met Xiao Chuyun in front of the formation, he took the initiative to leave the city.
Her expression immediately turned gloomy again.
"Xiao Chuyun led a large army and had a clear chance to capture Zhao Hao, but in the end he let him go intact. It's really annoying!"
"Who does he think he is?"
"Doesn't he know that Zhao Hao is the imperial court's top criminal?"
At the side, the maid Qing Xing said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Qingqi that General Chu Yun had a correspondence with Zhao Hao after the battle of Wushan."
"Moreover, the two of them talked for nearly three quarters of an hour in front of the battle."
“No one knows what they talked about.”
"Do you need to investigate in detail?"
Jiang Wan'er frowned upon hearing this and said in a cold voice, "It should be impossible to find out what happened when they talked in front of the battle."
"However, I want to know the contents of the letters."
Qing Xing immediately nodded, bowed and walked out.
After Qing walked out, Jiang Wan'er slowly stood up from the chair.
He walked to the side of the desk, picked up a golden sword from the shelf and started playing with it.
"Zhao Hao, although you escaped with your life, you now have no place to stand. Is this more difficult than death?"
"But no matter what, I want to thank you."
"If it weren't for you, me, and my great efforts, we would never have risen to this point in such a short time."
"It's a pity that you are so terrible."
"It's so terrible that you can overthrow the rule of a country at any time if you want to."
"I would like to ask, which emperor would dare to keep you like this?"
"So, don't blame me."
As she spoke, she gently put the golden sword in her hand back.
Then he walked to the desk, sat down, picked up the pen and wrote an imperial edict.
After a moment, she put down the imperial pen and called Eunuch Qu in.
"Immediately pass this summons to General Chu Yun as quickly as possible."
Eunuch Qu nodded, took it, turned around and walked out quickly.
…
Luzhou, the provincial capital.
After leaving 10,000 soldiers in the city, Xiao Chuyun led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Just then, a messenger came riding quickly on horseback.
"Report, General, His Majesty has summoned you!"
Xiao Chuyun was sitting on the horse, and his eyes moved when he heard the words.
He immediately reached out and took the wooden box.
He opened the wooden box, took out the silk inside, and slowly unfolded it.
As soon as he saw it, his expression changed.
After a moment's silence, he suddenly raised his hand and stopped the army.
Upon seeing this, several generals all rode their horses towards this side.
"General, what's wrong?"
Xiao Chuyun said in a deep voice: "The army should stop advancing and return to Luzhou City!"
"General, you are..."
Xiao Chuyun said sternly: "His Majesty has ordered us to gather the ships in Luzhou City, and send the army to sea to fight and wipe out the Democratic Alliance Army in one fell swoop!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several generals changed.
These people have enough confidence in how to fight on land.
However, once you go out to sea, it’s completely different.
Moreover, Zhao Hao has been operating here for a long time and is very popular among the people.
It is impossible for the common people here to help their soldiers.
It’s already quite good that I don’t follow Zhao Hao to deal with them.
Can you still find the ferry?
I'm afraid it's difficult.
As it turned out, it was pretty much as they expected.
After returning to Luzhou Prefecture, Xiao Chuyun issued an order to search for ships on a large scale.
The ship is not used in vain. It is registered according to its size and newness, and then the owner is paid double the rent based on when it was last used.
But even so.
Ten full days passed.
They had only collected less than a hundred small boats.
There wasn't even a medium-sized ship.
After some investigation, they found out that Zhao Hao had already taken a large number of ships out to sea before retreating.
In view of this situation, Xiao Chuyun immediately submitted a memorial to Jiang Wan'er.
Originally, he didn't want to fight this battle with Zhao Hao.
But he had no choice but to obey Jiang Wan'er's orders.
It's ok now.
Without ships, we cannot cross the sea, and naturally we cannot fight.
A few days later, Jiang Wan'er's decree arrived, ordering 20,000 troops to stay in Luzhou City.
While guarding the city, he recruited craftsmen to build large ships capable of going out to sea for battle.
