Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 794 Chapter 813: The sea is vast (6300-word chapter, still updated today)
Li Zhi has always trusted Li Hao, and this time the behavior of Wa Kingdom was indeed predicted by Li Hao, which made Li Zhi more convinced of Li Hao's words, so he immediately summoned all the ministers who discussed politics to come to the Hall of Manna to discuss The matter of Pingwa.

Naturally, the ministers gritted their teeth with hatred for such actions of the Japanese country. Now, they have to admit how wise Li Hao is, because Li Hao said earlier that the Japanese people are a pack of wolves. Unfortunately, the person who argued with Li Hao back then The group of ministers are almost dead, otherwise let them see how the current behavior of Wa Kingdom is a slap in the face.

The most important thing to discuss about Pingwo is to discuss the candidates for Pingwo. As the general of Tiance Mansion, Li Hao has the most say in this matter. The candidates for Pingwo are finally determined to be five people, Li Hao, Fan Lihua, and Li Ji , Wang Xiaojie, and Yuchi Baolin.

Since Wang Xiaojie captured Pu Zhinan, the commander of the Silla army, in the last battle against Silla, he returned to Datang and received a great reward. Originally, with Wang Xiaojie's current status, he was not qualified to participate in such a big operation, but Li Hao intentionally gave Wang Xiaojie a chance, and the more he broke the rules, he proposed that Wang Xiaojie also participate, and he was the general manager of the marching branch.

After retiring from the imperial court, Li Zhi summoned Fan Lihua to return to Chang'an, while Li Hao went home and began to formulate the combat plan for the Pingwa operation.

Two days later, Fan Lihua came back, and Li Hao also made a battle plan and submitted it to Li Zhi. Li Hao's battle plan was very aggressive, and he dispatched [-] elite soldiers from the Tiance Mansion, led by Wang Xiaojie and Li Ji, respectively. To destroy the Japanese army, the Japanese army will definitely retreat to the coast, and Li Hao and Fan Lihua will lead [-] Weihaiwei to go around from the sea to the coast of Jiangnan Road, destroy the Japanese army's ships, cut off their retreat, and make it impossible for them to escape. .

As for the Japanese army in Silla, let Yuchi Baolin deal with it by himself, not to mention that he can't deal with it. Li Hao told Li Zhi the weakness of the Japanese sword and asked him to send a letter to Yuchi Baolin. Yuchi Baolin deserved his death on the battlefield.

After Fan Lihua came back, she didn't have time to rest for a day, so she and Li Hao immediately took the train to Weihaiwei, while Li Ji and Wang Xiaojie took the train to Xuanzhou in the south of the Yangtze River with [-] Tiance Mansion troops.

Li Hao and the others arrived at Weihaiwei one day earlier, led an army of [-] Weihaiwei and fifty large ships, and set off from the Yellow Sea to the East China Sea.

Li Hao has only been out to sea for two days, and the army led by Wang Xiaojie and Li Ji has already confronted the Japanese army. Because the Japanese army happened to be attacking Xuanzhou and Muzhou, Wang Xiaojie and Li Ji split up and attacked. state.

The local troops in Jiangnan Province were scattered and were attacked by the Japanese army, so they were caught off guard. But when they reacted, thousands of troops were gathered in each state to defend the city. The Japanese were not powerful and attacked the city. The equipment is not too sharp, so now the Japanese's offensive is blocked, and they can no longer be as arrogant as before.

Originally, the Japanese raided and captured several cities in a row, boosting morale, but now that the offensive was blocked, the momentum suddenly weakened, and at this time, the army of Wang Xiaojie and Li Ji arrived.

Datang's army was already unparalleled in power, and this time it was the most elite Tiance Mansion army in Datang, how could they resist, not to mention, the Tang army knew the weakness of their weapons.

As soon as Wang Xiaojie and Li Ji came out, they killed the Japanese army almost effortlessly. Many Japanese soldiers wanted to surrender, but Li Hao had already greeted them before, and they would not accept Japanese prisoners of war. It is not a strategic need, they do not take prisoners of war.

More than 4 of the [-] Japanese soldiers were killed in two days. They were all frightened, and fled to the sea in a hurry, and went out to sea by boat.

Although Li Hao's strategy is good this time, he really didn't expect that Li Ji and Wang Xiaojie's actions were so fast, they beat the Japanese pirates out of the sea and fled in just two days. When they arrived at Wang Xiaojie's army, Li Hao only found out after inquiring that the Japanese army had been defeated and fled by boat. It has been two days since they fled.

Li Hao hates that, but it doesn't matter, he immediately reported to Chang'an, requesting to send troops to the mainland of the Wa Kingdom, and launch a war to destroy the country!
The officials were not very happy about Li Hao's proposal, but they couldn't find a proper reason to refute it, and Li Zhi had already stated that the Japanese country was despicable and must be eradicated, so even Changsun Wuji dared not object.

Five days later, the messenger arrived in Yuezhou by train and handed over the imperial decree and official documents to Li Hao and Fan Lihua.

Li Hao was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and Dang even went to Weihaiwei to take another [-] troops to the sea, and then headed towards the country of Wa.

This time, Li Hao drove Weihaiwei's mechanical ship. Although the steam engine ship is not as big as the Galen ship, and its carrying capacity is poor, it is much faster than the Galen ship. Moreover, it has never been tried. He used it to make a handsome ship, and it was regarded as a trial voyage.

Li Hao was very excited at the thought of conquering the Japanese kingdom. Although the Japanese army now has 10,000+ troops, Li Hao is not afraid at all. It's enough to deal with them.

On the deck, Li Hao was holding the side of the boat, looking at the vast sea with the sea breeze blowing, and he was in a particularly good mood. Fan Lihua walked over with a pale face, without saying a word.

Li Hao turned his head to look at her, saw that her face was pale, and asked with concern: "How is it, is it better now?"

"En." Fan Lihua nodded.

Li Hao smiled slightly, and said: "If you are seasick, you have to go to the deck to blow some air and breathe fresh air, so that you will feel better."

Fan Lihua is from the north, she can't swim, and she is a little afraid of water. As long as the water reaches her waist, she will be very scared and panicked. Now she is on the boat, the hull shakes slightly, and there is water all over her eyes. Naturally, she felt very uncomfortable. She couldn't eat or sleep well these days, and she was in a bad state. Li Hao also tried his best to help her relieve these symptoms.

Li Hao sighed, and said slowly: "If I knew you were so afraid of water, I wouldn't have let you come. Seeing you suffer now, I... feel sorry for you."

Fan Lihua smiled lightly, and said: "What is this, is it worse than when you were in Tubo?"

Li Hao burst into laughter when he heard the words. Indeed, when he was in Tubo, his blood pressure soared to more than [-]. That feeling was really painful. Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing secretly: Everyone has weaknesses, but they may not have discovered them. That's all.

When Li Hao saw Fan Lihua's current appearance, although his heart ached, it gave him a special feeling, a feeling that he wanted to protect her. Fan Lihua was usually too strong, almost invincible. How could such a strong female man need someone to protect her, but now, Fan Lihua's face was pale and her whole body was lifeless, as if she was seriously ill, Li Hao especially wanted to protect her.

Seeing Li Hao staring at her, Fan Lihua was embarrassed for a while, turned her eyes away and asked, "Why are you staring at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

Li Hao walked up to her, and suddenly took her into his arms, Fan Lihua exclaimed: "You... what are you doing, all the soldiers are watching!"

Li Hao turned his head to look at the surrounding soldiers, and all the soldiers looked up at the sky, ah, today's weather... seems to be not good, there are many clouds, and the sun is blocked.

Li Hao raised his hand to gently hold Fan Lihua's pretty face, and said affectionately: "Pear Blossom, after defeating the Wa Kingdom, let's get married after returning home."

"I..." Fan Lihua hesitated again.

Li Hao was a little anxious, and said: "Lihua, don't hesitate any longer, and don't make me wait any longer. If you wait any longer, we will all be old. Do you really have to wait until you are seventy or eighty to marry me?"

Fan Lihua was silent, thoughtful.

"Marry me, marry me, marry me..." Li Hao began to use his rogue skills, stalking and stalking, never to miss the opportunity.

At this moment, a man dressed in a Confucian shirt suddenly came to the stern of the boat, cupped his hands at Li Hao and said, "Chief Manager, my subordinate Zhu He has something urgent to say."

Li Hao is so angry, this guy is really, he doesn't come sooner or later, but he came to disrupt the situation at this time, Li Hao could only let go of Fan Lihua, and Fan Lihua took the opportunity to escape and got into the cabin.

Li Hao looked at Zhu He very unhappy, and asked, "What's the hurry?"

Zhu He said: "Chairman, according to the speculation of the subordinates, there will be heavy wind and rain, and I hope that the chief manager will take precautions as soon as possible."

"Big wind and rain?" Li Hao was startled when he heard the words. It would be terrible if there was a big wind and rain at sea, so he hurriedly asked, "How big is the wind and rain, and when will it appear?"

"This..." Zhu He said with a look of embarrassment on hearing the words, "I don't know how big it is, I just know that the wind and rain should not be small. As for the timing, I can't say for sure, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow .”

Li Hao made a fuss when he heard the words, and really wanted to hurt him, but he thought that he was only an official of the Taishi Bureau after all, and not the weather station of the future world.

So Li Haogao shouted: "Navigation officer, bring the chart!"

The navigator immediately brought the chart and showed it to Li Hao.

Li Hao stared at the picture for a moment, then asked, "Where are we now?"

The navigator pointed to a point on the chart and said, "We are probably here now."

Li Hao asked again: "How much is the error?"

Sailing official said: "About two hundred miles."

In ancient times, there was no satellite positioning, and the navigation position was completely estimated based on the speed and direction of the ship. This navigation function can control the error within two hundred miles, which is already very good.

And the location that the navigator is pointing at now is in the center of the Yellow Sea, so there is really no way to go to the village or back to the store. Although Li Hao also knows that there may be many small islands in the sea, some islands are too small to be marked on the chart.

At this time, he really misses Wu Lei. Wu Lei often sails, and he often comes near the Yellow Sea. He must have a better understanding of the distribution of islands in this area.

After a moment of silence, Li Hao gave an order: "Pass on my military order, turn to the northeast, and head for Silla at full speed."

"Yes!"

Someone on the watchtower of the main ship made a semaphore, and then the fleet began to turn around and head towards Silla at full speed.

Based on Li Hao's understanding of the speed of the Galen ship, it should take three days to reach Silla. At the same time, he hopes that the wind and rain this time can be a little bit smaller, no matter the size of the wind or the scope of the spread, try to be as small as possible, otherwise the fleet may be destroyed. Suffering, or, if the wind and rain come later, as long as he is given three days, he can go to Silla to dock, and he will be afraid of farts when he goes ashore.

However, Li Hao's hope finally came to nothing, because that night, the sea wind started to blow, the waves were heaving, the boat was shaking, and in the cabin, Fan Lihua's face turned pale with fright, and she dared not speak.

Both Li Hao and Fan Lihua put on life jackets and sat aside to comfort her. In fact, he was also extremely worried. It is summer and typhoons are prone to occur. If it is really a typhoon, it will be a disaster.

In the middle of the night, the wind became stronger and stronger, and it rained heavily. Countless ships were bumping on the waves. The huge ships appeared so insignificant in front of the waves. The power of nature was terrifying.

The steam engine boat that Li Hao and the others were on was the smallest, so naturally it shook the most. Li Hao couldn't stand the shaking. Fan Lihua held Li Hao's hand tightly and refused to let it go. open.

"Sir, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and our ship may not be able to hold on!" The navigator reported.

Li Hao said loudly: "Let everyone put on immersion suits and be ready to deal with shipwreck accidents at any time."

"They're all put on!" the navigator replied.

Li Hao said: "Then you can figure it out, you are the navigation officer, let everyone take emergency measures!"

"Yes!"

Fan Lihua held Li Hao's hand tightly, looked at Li Hao, and asked worriedly, "Will we...will die at sea?"

"No." Li Hao grinned, "How could we die so easily? It's just a wave. It's not like I haven't seen it before, and it passed quickly."

"Don't coax me." Fan Lihua said, "If the ship sinks, all of us will die, right?"

Li Hao continued to forcefully laugh and comforted him: "How could it be? You see, we are all wearing immersion suits. This is a good thing. It won't sink if you wear it. It's no problem to sleep on the sea."

However, Fan Lihua clearly felt that he lacked confidence when he said this. Although the sea is beautiful, it is full of murderous intent. The sea swallows tens of thousands of people every year. It is the most terrifying monster in the world. Neither is its opponent.

Fan Lihua suddenly held Li Hao's hands, stared at Li Hao, and said: "If we can survive this time, I will marry you."

"Really?" Li Hao's eyes lit up when he heard the words. Although he was in danger now, he was really happy to hear Fan Lihua promise him.

"Well, I figured it out." Fan Lihua nodded vigorously. She felt that this time she was really close to death, and she suddenly felt regretful. She regretted not agreeing to Li Hao earlier. If she could marry him and be his woman, she should It's a very happy thing. As for the other things, she really thought too much before.

Why is there a saying that "a person's words are good when he is about to die", because if a person knows that he is going to die, then his state of mind will undergo a huge change, give up his obsessions, and recall his life, is there any Fault, do you have any regrets, and Fan Lihua only realized at this time that her biggest regret is not being able to be with the person she likes, and whoever she likes is naturally Li Hao.

Seeing Li Hao's happy appearance, Fan Lihua also smiled, but the smile was a bit bitter: "I'm sorry, I promised you so late, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape this disaster."

"It's okay." Li Hao said, "As long as I'm here, King Yan Luo won't even try to take you away when he comes here in person!" After finishing speaking, he kissed Fan Lihua affectionately.

At this moment, the hull suddenly tilted hugely, and the waves overturned their ship. Li Hao and Fan Lihua hugged each other, rolled all over the ground, and then landed on the top of the cabin. At the same time, The sea water is pouring in.

Fortunately, the lights on the boat had not been extinguished, and there was still some light, Li Hao exclaimed: "The boat capsized, let's swim out!"

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Fan Lihua and ran outside, but the sea water poured into the cabin, the force of the water was too strong, they couldn't go out at all, and the lights went out, and the cabin was completely dark.

Soon, the sea water filled her chest. Fan Lihua stood there without daring to move, her face was as white as paper. Li Hao hurriedly tied her waist with his own with a cloth belt, and said: " Lihua, don't be afraid, now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, we will live and die together, no matter where we go, I will accompany you."

Fan Lihua immediately felt her heart melted when she heard the words, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Soon, Fan Lihua felt that she was floating, the immersion suit was working, and she was pleasantly surprised, and the sea water stopped rushing in, because the air inside couldn't get out, so the water couldn't come in, just like pouring a cup. It is a normal physical phenomenon that the cup will not be filled with water when it is dunked into the water.

The hull was still shaking violently, Li Hao and Fan Lihua were swinging in the water, and their boat was slowly sinking, and soon, the bottom of the boat completely sank into the sea, and someone on the sea surface yelled in horror: "The chief executive and General Fan Woolen cloth!"

"The chief executive and General Fan are still in the cabin!"

……

The boat sank to the bottom of the water, and immediately stopped shaking. Li Hao also wondered, why didn't the boat shake?Has the storm stopped?It shouldn't be so fast, he thought carefully, and suddenly felt horrified, because he guessed that the ship might have sunk into the sea, so it didn't shake much, but he didn't dare to tell Fan Lihua, he began to think, what should he do? manage.

Although the space in the cabin is not small, the air here is limited, and the two of them can only last for two or three hours at most. When the air is exhausted, they must go out, and if they go out, they will be at the bottom of the sea, from the bottom of the sea He didn't know how long it would take to float to the surface of the sea, anyway, he had profound internal energy and could hold his breath for a long time, up to two to three minutes, but he didn't know how long Fan Lihua could hold his breath.

At this time, a box floated over and bumped into Li Hao. Li Hao touched it casually and found that it was his suitcase. Why, because his suitcase was made of aluminum alloy, there was only one in the whole ship. There are a lot of important things in it, so you can't lose them, and, at sea, there is a sealed aluminum alloy box, which can also increase buoyancy.

So Li Hao tied the handle of the box to his waist with a Lun towel.

After more than five hours, Li Hao gradually felt that the air in the cabin was getting less and less. Li Hao said: "Ewha, it's time for us to go out."

Fan Lihua had no idea at this time, she would listen to what Li Hao said, nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Li Hao said: "Follow me. When I want you to hold your breath, hold your breath and paddle with both hands. I will lead you in front."

"Ah."

Li Hao led her to grope slowly in the dark, relying on his memory of the cabin, he quickly found the entrance of the cabin, and then said: "I'll count to one, two, three, you just take a long breath, hold your breath, and then Go underwater!"

"Ok!"

"One! Two! Three! Hold your breath!" Li Hao took a long breath and dived into the water. Fan Lihua also took a long breath and dived into the water.

Li Hao groped along the bulkhead with both hands, and soon reached the exit of the cabin, and swam out, pulling the cloth belt at the same time, for fear that Fan Lihua would not come out.

Then, he rowed upwards vigorously, and the aluminum alloy box was obviously more buoyant than him, and it actually dragged him up.

The sea water here is at least 200 meters deep, and the speed of floating up is faster than the normal swimming speed. It took more than a minute for Li Hao to get out of the water, before he had time to catch his breath, he pulled the cloth belt first.

Then Fan Lihua got out of the water, gasping for air. This was the first time she submerged her whole body in the water. When her ears were immersed in the water, there were countless strange sounds around her, which made her extremely frightened. Moreover, the pressure on the bottom of the sea was very high. The pressure of the sea made her very uncomfortable, and she was also afraid of water. If Li Hao hadn't given her confidence, she might have choked on water.

"Are you okay?" Li Hao quickly asked Fan Lihua.

After taking a few breaths, Fan Lihua shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"It's fine, just hold on to the box." Li Hao said, turning his head and looking around, he saw that the sun had risen very high in the east, and the surrounding sea was calm, without a trace of wind and waves, but it was also empty, and he couldn't see it at all. to any vessel.

Fan Lihua also looked around together and asked, "Where's our fleet?"

Li Hao said helplessly: "Either it was blown away by the wind and waves, or it also sank together."

Fan Lihua gritted her teeth and was speechless, if the entire fleet was swallowed by the sea, it would be a huge loss to Datang.

She was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "What should we do now...?"

Li Hao said helplessly: "One step at a time, since we sank to the bottom of the sea and didn't die, it means we are destined to die. Don't worry, we won't die so easily."

"En." Fan Lihua nodded, and now she let herself believe what Li Hao said unconditionally. For her, Li Hao at this moment is the Optimus Prime who can support her whole world.

After a while, Li Hao faintly saw something on the sea in the distance, and hurriedly swam over with Fan Lihua, only to find that it was a big wooden post and a big plank. The big wooden post should be a severed mast. The big plank looks a bit like a ship deck.

Li Hao suddenly said happily: "Heaven will not kill us, Lihua, try climbing on the plank."

With Li Hao's help, Fan Lihua climbed up smoothly. Fortunately, the plank was very big, two meters long and three meters wide, bigger than the bed. Fan Lihua sat on it, unexpectedly stable.

Fan Lihua looked at Li Hao in the water, and said: "You come up too, look at your hands, they are all soaked white."

Li Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you climb up directly, the plank will fall." He took off his clothes, tore them into strips of cloth, and then connected them together to tie the broken mast to the plank. Together, they climbed onto the mast first, held the box in their hands, and stood on the big wooden post, and they were able to stand still.

Fan Lihua couldn't help but praised: "Your lightness kung fu is really good."

Li Hao grinned and jumped to the middle of the plank. If he jumped to the middle of the plank, the plank would not overturn. If he climbed directly from the middle, the force on the plank would be uneven and it would easily tip over.

Li Hao stood on it, just as the edge of the board was level with the sea. If the sea water swayed a little, it would rush up the board, but it was okay, at least it was much better than soaking in the water.

Although they escaped the immersion of the sea water, the two of them are now drifting in the vast sea. Looking around, there is no limit. They have no water and food, and they don't know how many days they can survive.
