Chu Shaosun and the two captains were invited out, and only Chen Tang and Wu Zaihan were left in the cabin, and there were many people crowded on this boat, which was not too soundproof, and the two were very close, and their shadows were reflected on the bulkhead by candlelight."
Captain Chen thinks of me, is this matter true or false?""
According to what Dr.
Wu said before, the pharaoh of Egypt and the queen are not on good terms, and with the instigation of the ministers, it is very likely that they will turn against each other, but they don't want to provoke an accident when we arrive."
Wu Zaihan shook his head: "Yes, what can I do about it now?"
”Although he has repeatedly made envoys and seen big scenes, but now he is hanging alone thousands of miles away with a few ships, and suddenly suffered a coup d'état in Egypt, and he is a little unable to make a decision for a while.Chen Tang was still calm, and asked Wu Zaihan rhetorically: "I don't know what mission the hussar general handed over to the doctor this time from the west?"
”"What else could it be?"
Wu Zaihan said: "Return the salute to the queen, by the way" He smiled: "For the general to test the reality of this Egyptian country again, and to separate the queen and the pharaoh, I don't have to do it myself."
Captain Chen, didn't the hussar general give instructions on these things before you and I left?
”Chen Tang said: "After all, the envoy and the captain are different, I will use the name of a merchant ship to meet the hussar general on the shore when he arrives." ”This first fleet was only the vanguard, and there was a much larger fleet that would sail west at the tail of the monsoon.Wu Zaihan said: "Speaking of which, I remember that when the hussar general said that he wanted to go to Egypt in person, Captain Chen was strongly opposed. ”Chen Tang smiled: "I didn't approve of this at the beginning. ”After many years of navigation and a map of the hussar general's system, Chen Tang had already memorized the location, size, strength and weakness of the countries in this world, and he said: "The enemy of the capital protectorate is rest and a hundred times, not Egypt. ”It's not even Great Qin, after Anxieting Qin and annihilating Crassus, the possibility of Great Qin's crusade to the east again is very small, not to mention that now Pompey and Caesar have torn their faces and started a civil war.So in this case, the hussar general suddenly wanted to launch an expedition against Egypt, so Chen Tang really couldn't understand, even if he wanted to pull Egypt out of the Great Qin camp to protect the profits of the Maritime Silk Road, Wu Zaihan could do it as an envoy, why bother to go in person?
But this is something that General Ren has planned a long time ago, and the opposition is invalid, Chen Tang is only depressed that the general seems to have explained everything to his beloved apprentice Liu Gengsheng, but he has not revealed it to his son-in-law.Chen Tang Zhengse said: "I was against it at the beginning, but the matter has come to this point, but I have to act on orders to ensure that the general's fleet can land smoothly when it arrives." ”After the two of them passed the qi, everything was much simpler.Wu Zaihan groaned: "If the queen is still here, then needless to say, it should be mainly coerced by me to negotiate peace first, but now that the queen has gone out, there are only three ways left." ”He stretched out his index finger: "One is a safe way, pretend not to know, and make a mistake with the snake, I will go to the capital with Di Taifu, and Captain Chen is anchored nearby." ”Chen Tang held the wick of the candle flame with a dagger, shook his head and said, "As soon as the battle starts like this, won't Doctor Wu become a hostage?"
”Wu Zaihan said with a smile: "My father was detained by the Xiongnu for several years, if the Egyptians dare to attack me, the hussar general can add a sentence after the words of the Marquis Su Gong of Zhongjie!"
”Chen Tang shook his head: "Although the general has words and commits a strong man, he will be punished if he is far away, and the river and body are indeed not as far away as Egypt, but in this way, Dr.
Wu enjoys the credit as an envoy official, and he is famous in the annals of history, but Chen Tang and the soldiers are going to be ashamed." ”Wu Zaihan was about to say second, but Chen Tang also stopped him: "The second is nothing more than to withdraw as soon as dawn, return to Sheba or Haramau and wait, wait for the hussar general's army to arrive, and then kill them together." ”Chen Tang said with a smile: "In this way, you and I both admit that the mission has failed, and we have retreated cowardly, and this strategy will never be taken!"
”Then only one last option remains."
First strike!"
Chen Tang poked the dagger into the corner of the case: "Although the Egyptians were prepared, they never thought that we knew about the civil turmoil, so they took advantage of tonight's incident to take advantage of the sudden attack of the ship's armor officers and seize this port, waiting for the hussar general to arrive!"
”Chu Shaosun and others waited anxiously outside the cabin, but saw the lights and candles flickering inside, which made Chu Shaosun, who had experienced this for the first time, nervous, and any person in the port shouted Ma Ming to make him stand up and fidget, but he saw that the captain of the Lelang still had the heart to let people cook rice for dinner, and there was salted fish soup, and rice bowls and bowls of rice were eaten.When he reached the second bowl, the captain stopped and muttered, "I'm afraid I'll have to use force later, so I can't eat too much." ”At this time, Chen Tang and Wu Zaihan came out and whispered to the two captains of Lelang and Liaodong, and asked them to send people along the longboard connecting the wooden ships to inform the merchant ships one by one, not to light fires, so that the Egyptians would not find out.This time, there were eight merchant ships coming west, sailors and oarsmen, a total of more than 400 people.The people on the merchant ships were dressed in white, which were large Indian cotton robes that could be used as sleeping bags in winter.After the captains of the eight ships arrived, Chen Tang called them to a meeting, and finally called Chu Shaosun in: "Today's events, if Mr. doesn't come to testify, it will be difficult for him to write history in the future!"
”What Chu Shaosun was listening to was a bold military adventure.Chen Tang pointed to the map of Egypt that had been drawn a long time ago and said: "There are many ports in Egypt on the west coast of the Narrow Sea, but the only one that can make dozens of ships dock is this port of Berenice, and there is also a port in the north, although it is closer to its capital, but the prevailing north wind and many reefs are inconvenient for the fleet to dock. ”In the past, there seemed to be a canal connecting the sea to the Nile, but when Wu Zaihan passed by on his last mission, he found that it had long been blocked by sediment and turned into a dry valley.So to get the hussar general's fleet to dock, the port of Berenice was almost the only option.Chu Shaosun was shocked when he heard this, and covered his mouth, what surprised him even more was that the captains of the eight merchant ships did not show surprise, but were more and more excited one by one, seeing his eyes, the one sitting close to him did not pretend, and lifted the corner of his white cotton robe, revealing the pitch-black armor inside!
Now I understand, on those eight ships, I am afraid that there is not a single businessman, all of them are Han soldiers, or they have both identities."
Therefore, when attacking, do not burn the ship and sink it and destroy the harbor, but kill the people and keep the ship!"
The difficulty is not small, this is the task assigned to the "white-clothed merchants", Chen Tang himself has to take the main force, two hundred armor soldiers, to the city of Berenice guarded by two thousand Ptolemaic soldiers, and the Egyptian "Taifu" Theodotus is in it.Chen Tang originally wanted to say that the rooster crows when he moves, but he remembers that the rooster crow in Egypt is not necessarily the same as in the East, so he can only change it to: "When the Taibai Star rises, raise the fire as a trumpet!"
”Chu Shaosun was pushed out of the door by the captains, leaving only Chen Tang holding his ring-headed knife, rubbing it with a grinding stone little by little, Wu Zaihan knew that this was Captain Chen's habit, and made one last gesture before leaving: "The captain once seized the port of the Lion Country and captured the city, I didn't dare to say much to a layman, only one question." ”"Even if you can take 500 people" "No, counting the poisonous people who rowed the boat, it's a thousand. ”Chen Tang said with a smile: "The rowing workers are hard, and it takes several hours to sit, and eating, drinking, and Lazar have to be solved in the cabin, and the rate of accidents is high."
Allowing them to ascend from the Shudra and threatening them with death if they were defeated by Egypt would also be of some use. ”Wu Zaihan made another move: "It seems that the general is determined to win, but even if there are thousands of people, after taking the port, how should he defend it?"
Egypt has a large population, and if tens of thousands of troops are sent to attack before the arrival of the hussar generals, it may not be easy to defend. ”Counting the days, the hussar generals have only now set off for the west with more than 3,000 people and all the troops of the Protectorate Navy, and they will not be able to reach Egypt until mid-February at the earliest, can they hold up a siege in this port for a month and a half?
The Ptolemaic State was not a Huns, and there was a set of sieges.Chen Tang asked Wu Zaihan rhetorically: "Doctor Wu, do you know that the hussar general is the most powerful, and what is the tactic that has been tried and tested?"
””Thousands of miles away?"
It's not.""
Fox fake tiger might?""
Not really.""
That must be a tough village, a dumb fight?""
Not even more."
Chen Tang laughed: "Soldier, treacherous!"
I watch the hussar general's favorite strategy, one word, deceit!
”"When we take the harbor, we can use a thousand men and pretend to be five thousand, so that the Egyptians will not dare to attack.""
Moreover, you must have heard of Chen Wu Guang's incident, when Chen Wu Daze Township first raised the matter, he was afraid that his reputation would not be obvious.But I heard that Xiang Yan is a Chu general, a number of meritorious people, love soldiers, and Chu people pity him.Or think death, or think death.So he lied and claimed to be the son of Fusu, Xiang Yan, sang for the world, and followed the people's desires, and then there were many responders. ”Chen Tang said: "Isn't the Egyptian queen now fleeing the capital and disappearing?"
We might as well raise her banner too, let the captives go out to Ben to publicize it, disturb the situation in her country, and even let the true queen come and defect after hearing about it!
”At this time, Wu Zaihan was relieved, and the Guanxi Marquis and Captains of the Protectorate of the Mansion, most of them were in the army, and even jade workers, and they were not much changed, especially among the younger generation, although Ren Hong worked hard to cultivate, but Chen Tang was the only one who could take charge of martial arts."
The captain's clever plan is worthy of the true biography of the hussar general!"
Chen Tang didn't care about using it, he wiped the knife again, and didn't put it back in the scabbard, so he carried it out of the cabin, and stood in armor on the bow of the ship with the cold wind swishing, staring at the east until the brightest star in the sky when the sun and the moon were out of place."
Mr.
Chu, you like history books, you must also know the celestial phenomena, and you can do divination?"
Chu Shaosun just wanted to talk about Shi Fei Wubu, but Chen Tang had already answered for him: "Mr.
Chu really knows divination, look, everyone, the star divination has come out!"
”Chen Tang raised his ring head knife and pointed at Taibai Xing, there was no need to pretend now, and said loudly to the Han family soldiers on the ship, who were fully armed and ready to move: "It's exactly the same as the hussar general's westward expedition back then!"
