Rise From the Humble

"Master Zhao has arrived..." The voice of the soldiers announcing outside the tent interrupted Zhu Pingan's conversation with Yu Dayou and other generals. Everyone stopped talking, adjusted their uniforms, adjusted their expressions, and respectfully welcomed Zhao Wenhua into the tent.

Soon, as soon as the soldiers finished speaking, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian walked into the commander's tent one after another.

Zhao Wenhua walked in front, and Hu Zongxian was the first to open the tent door for Zhao Wenhua, half a step behind Zhao Wenhua.

Seeing Zhao Wenhua enter the account, He Qing, Shen Xiyi and others suddenly felt as if they were facing the end of the world. They felt pressure coming on and became nervous every minute. Their faces were full of nervousness and uneasiness.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became extremely heavy.

"Haha, Mei Lin, you have nothing to say about your writing skills. I am very satisfied with the memorial you have written." Zhao Wenhua walked into the tent with a memorial in his hand, turned to Hu Zongxian who was following behind and praised with a smile.

"Thank you, sir. It was only with your guidance and polish that I was able to write this memorial." Hu Zongxian complimented humbly.

"Haha, no, no, I just wanted to say a few words." Zhao Wenhua smiled and waved his hand.

The two walked into the tent talking and laughing, which was in sharp contrast to the heavy and depressing atmosphere inside the tent.

When Zhao Wenhua stepped into the tent, he immediately noticed the tense and uneasy atmosphere in the tent. He smiled and looked around at He Qing and others in the tent, and said hehe, "Hehe, General He, General Shen, gentlemen, Why is your face so earth-colored?"

He Qing and Shen Xiyi, two veterans, turned redder and ashamed after hearing Zhao Wenhua's words.

I thought that we young people would be illuminated by the glory of our fathers, inherit the military duties handed down from our ancestors, fight in the north and south, and be famous for a lifetime. But when we are old, we will be in danger of death. A thousand troops were attacked by dozens of Japanese pirates at night and suffered heavy casualties.

How can I not be ashamed when I am not sure about the late festival? I am worried about becoming a typical example. How can I not be worried and nervous and have a dull complexion?

Tang Kekuan felt a little embarrassed. Although he had captured twenty-seven heads of Japanese pirates, more than 400 of the two thousand soldiers were killed and more than 300 were injured. However, there were less than 100 Japanese pirates who attacked at night. Although they were Japanese pirates, There was a sudden night attack, but he, who had always boasted of being strict and cautious in running the army, couldn't help but feel embarrassed when faced with this result.

Yu Dayou's face was calm and unfazed. He spent half his life in the military, experienced countless battles, won countless battles, and suffered many defeats. He was robbed of credit and blamed. He, Yu Dayou, had long developed a big heart. heart.

What's more, although he suffered a lot of losses tonight, only a dozen of the eighty Japanese pirates who attacked at night escaped, and he left all the others behind.

The Marquis of Linhuai grew even more proud, proud and expectant, like a good student under the award podium waiting to receive his award.

Zhu Ping'an looked calm and unfazed. No one present knew better than him what Hu Zongxian and Zhao Wenhua were going to do. Of course, Zhu Ping'an's outstanding performance also allows him to sit firmly on the fishing boat.

"Haha, gentlemen, we worked together and achieved a great victory last night. We should be happy."

Zhao Wenhua smiled and continued.

Working together? !

A big victory? !

Are you talking about us?

He Qing, Shen Xiyi, Tang Kekuan and Yu Dayou were all stunned, wondering if their ears had heard wrongly. They looked up at Zhao Wenhua in disbelief. Zhao Wenhua had taken the wrong medicine, drank too much, or was in a weird mood. It was obvious yesterday. The Japanese pirates attacked at night and the troops suffered heavy casualties. How could it be a great victory? !

"Haha, I have long guessed that the Japanese pirates will not sit back and watch us offer sacrifices to the sea, and will definitely send people to make trouble. In order to expand the effect of the sacrifice to the sea and boost the morale of the army and the people, I deliberately used myself as bait to lure the Japanese pirates to attack, and secretly ordered Hu Zongxian, Zhu Ping'an, and Li Tingzhu are ready for battle. The reason why I didn't tell all of you is because if you want to succeed in luring the enemy, you must keep it secret and narrow the scope of knowledge. Only by acting in your true colors can you better confuse the Japanese pirates. , cooperate with me to complete this plan to lure the enemy."

"As expected, the Japanese pirates really fell into my trap of luring the enemy. More than a thousand Japanese pirates came to attack the ritual site at night, mainly attacking the Chinese army camp where I was stationed. They tried to kill me, desecrated the imperial edict, and defiled the sea of ​​sacrifice!"

"You all did not disappoint me. You involved the Japanese pirates to divide their troops, leaving enough time for Zhu Ping'an's, Hu Zongxian's, and Li Tingzhu's troops to destroy the main force of the Japanese pirates, and cooperated with me to achieve this great victory."

"This is the battle. I am in command. Tang Kekuan's troops captured 27 Japanese pirates, Yu Dayou's tribe captured 65 Japanese pirates, Li Tingzhu's tribe captured 98 Japanese pirates, Hu Zongxian's tribe captured 80 Japanese pirates, and Zhu Ping'an's tribe captured 290 Japanese pirates. More than 500 Japanese pirates were desperate and jumped into the sea. As a result, the sea god showed his power and huge waves surged into the sky, swallowing up all the Japanese pirates who tried to escape by jumping into the sea, causing their bodies to sink into the sea. In this battle, 566 Japanese pirate heads were captured, and another 500 Japanese pirates were killed. More than 500 Japanese pirate corpses sank into the sea, and a total of more than 1,000 Japanese were killed, achieving a brilliant victory. Last night’s battle must be the most successful achievement in Jiangnan since the Japanese suppression!"

Zhao Wenhua glanced at everyone with burning eyes and said slowly.

He Qing, Shen Xiyi, Tang Kekuan, and Yu Dayou were all confused. Was this what happened last night? !

Last night, the Japanese pirates attacked at night. It turned out that Zhao Wenhua had guessed it a long time ago. He did not hesitate to put himself in danger and used himself as bait to lure the enemy? !

There were more than a thousand Japanese pirates last night? ! In addition to the corpses of Japanese pirates we captured, there were more than 500 corpses of Japanese pirates that sank into the sea? !

is that so? !

He Qing, Shen Xiyi, Tang Kekuan, and Yu Dayou were all veterans on the battlefield. After being confused for a few seconds, they all gave a negative answer in their hearts.

The number of Japanese pirates will not be more than a thousand, and they, the battlefield veterans, will not even get the number of Japanese pirates wrong.

During the night attack last night, Japanese pirates were everywhere, with shouts of killing and harsh whistles. They were so loud that there seemed to be thousands of people. They couldn't figure out the number of Japanese pirates at first, but after a while, they figured out the attack. After the number of Japanese pirates in their camp was only a few dozen, they realized that the Japanese pirates were really bluffing.

They were all veterans on the battlefield. After figuring out the number of Japanese pirates who attacked their camp, they estimated that the number of Japanese pirates who attacked at night last night was only about 600, not more than 1,000.

In addition, it is even more nonsense that more than 500 Japanese pirates were forced to escape into the sea, but their bodies were drowned in the sea.

Dozens of Japanese pirates dare to attack a military camp of thousands of people. How can more than 500 Japanese pirates need to throw themselves into the sea to escape? They are enough to run rampant across the entire memorial site and can easily break through. If even 500 Japanese pirates attack the Chinese army, Zhao Wenhua and others How can I stand here and talk if I have the life to do so?

Therefore, it is obvious that Zhao Wenhua is lying.
