The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 558 The Controversy Between Xu and Du
"The two generals are serious, please hurry up." Yang Yong knew that Zhang Mai was the commander of the navy under Du Fuwei, and Lu Yu was one of Du Fuwei's godsons, so he was embarrassed to call him His Highness now. Well, it used to be a kind of respect and honor to call them this way, but now it's almost like exposing their shortcomings, how embarrassing they are.Therefore, Yang Yong collectively referred to the two of them as generals, and looked at them with inquiring eyes about what they meant.

"Thank you, my lord." Lu Yu and Zhang Mai stood up, Zhang Mai did not speak, and looked at Yang Yong and the generals around him intentionally or unintentionally. Now the soldiers and horses to welcome the prince enter the city, is the prince ready, please follow me to board the ship!"

Only then did Yang Yong know what was going on, but with so many soldiers and horses, the warships that came seemed far from enough. Also, why didn't Wang Xiong and Fu Gong Er both come?Whether it is the book knowledge before time travel, or from Du Fuwei's mouth, Yang Yong knows that Danyang City is now dominated by Wang Xiong and Fu Er.In an instant, Yang Yong drew a few question marks in his heart, and turned back to look at Xu Maogong.

Xu Maogong understood what Yang Yong meant, and he also had the same question. Immediately, he clasped his fists and said, "Two generals, I have something unclear, please ask me face to face."

"Oh, Commander Xu, sorry for your disrespect. Commander, please tell me, and I will listen carefully." The two generals certainly knew that this Xu Maogong was now Yang Yong's No. [-] man and Yang Yong's think tank. Eye.

"May I ask where General Wang Xiong and Duke Fu are? Why don't they come to greet the prince in person?" Xu Maogong was not polite, he went straight to the point and cut straight to the point. This is the common doubt in his heart, Yang Yong and even Du Fuwei's heart, and it is also a problem. The key is to ask the aspirations of the rest of the generals.

Zhang Mai still didn't speak.Lu Yu was as steady as Mount Tai, calm and unhurried, saluting respectfully: "When you return to the military division, General Wang and Duke Fu both planned to come in person, but General Wang Xiong suffers from seasickness, and Duke Fu is short of time, and some government affairs have to be discussed with you. The etiquette matters are not finished yet, so they can't leave for a while. Therefore, they ordered their subordinates and General Zhang to lead the fleet to pick them up, while General Wang Xiong and Fugong led all the soldiers to meet the prince and the military advisor on the other side of the river."

Xu Maogong didn't know the truth, turned his eyes and said: "Oh, so that's the case. The prince's army has just arrived at the riverside, and there are still many things to deal with. It seems that the ships brought by the two are not many. I am afraid that the more than 20 soldiers and horses will not be able to pass at once. Let’s go to Jiang. There must be a batch, let’s study it first, and please stay calm on board the two generals.”

As Xu Maogong said, he looked at Yang Yong.Yang Yong nodded, admiring Xu Maogong's vigilance and caution in his heart, knowing that he was deliberately buffering so as not to be fooled.

When Lu Yu and Zhang Mai heard this, they looked at each other. Zhang Mai turned his eyes straight, blushed and saluted, "It should be so. I'm about to tell you that our navy is not large in size and the number of ships is limited. A few The Battle of the Huaihe River was severely damaged a month ago. Many warships are still being repaired, and small warships are useless for transporting troops. Therefore, there are only so many warships that can be used right now. Excluding the accompanying crew and sailors, at most It can carry three thousand soldiers and horses. However, this is not a problem, the river in this area is not too wide, and the current is not too fast, it is all my own territory, so it is enough for the brothers to go back and forth a few more times."

It was reasonable for Yang Yong and Xu Maogong to listen to Zhang Mai's words.Yang Yong nodded to him and said, "Then there is General Lao Zhang."

"Don't dare, I'll wait for the prince on the boat. I'll take my leave first!" Zhang Mai was happy, and he saluted Lu Yu again, and then hugged Xu Maogong, Xu Maogong nodded slightly as the second general, and the two brought their relatives Then turned around and went to the boat.

Yang Yong returned to the barracks with all the generals, and summoned Xu Maogong, Du Fuwei and other generals together.In order to take care of Du Fuwei's face, Yang Yong tentatively said: "This king and General Du will bring 3000 troops into the city first, and the military division will direct the rest of the troops to cross the river in batches. , you can set up camp temporarily, do you have any opinions?"

Xu Maogong shook his head and said: "Wait a minute, my lord, there are many doubts in this." He said and looked at Du Fuwei, "General Du, don't worry too much, it's not that we don't believe you. The world is unpredictable. Heart, this matter is no small matter, it is related to the safety of the prince and tens of thousands of soldiers, it is related to the great cause of the rebel army, we cannot allow us to be sloppy."

Du Fuwei saluted and said: "The military adviser is thoughtful, and it should be so. There are some secrets that the prince and the military adviser may not know, let Du Mou explain first. Lu Yu is the godson of the subordinate, and Zhang Mai was once the commander of the navy, so it is necessary for him to These two generals are quite familiar with me, and they were loyal to me in the past. When they spoke just now, my subordinates listened carefully. Everything they said was true and there was nothing wrong with it. The chief general of Danyang, Wang Xiong, is also here. His godson is the most trustworthy general in the army. He does suffer from seasickness, and many of his subordinates know about it. Therefore, it is understandable that he did not come to pick him up in person today. As for Duke Fu, he has no military power now. , because there has been a little estrangement between the two of us recently, and this is probably an important reason why he didn't come to greet us in person."

When Du Fuwei said this, he smiled awkwardly, "Speaking of this matter, I am not afraid that the prince will make jokes with you. To be honest, I and Fu Gong Er are friends, and they joined the rebel army. Tacit understanding, life and death, advance and retreat together, in the army, in the entire Great Wu Kingdom, the subordinate is the boss, and he is the second child. It's just that since last year, we have different political views, and we have had some emotions. He no longer holds military power and Now he is in politics. In short, there is a reason why these two people did not come to greet them in person, I hope the prince and the military adviser are not to blame."

Yang Yong knew that Du Fuwei's words came from his heart, so he nodded and looked at Xu Maogong.

Xu Maogong said: "After General Du's words, I suddenly understood. But the prince and my military adviser are not easy to choose whether they can pick up or not. But there is one more thing, my military adviser feels strange. It is when the two of them talk. , Lu Yu's eyes were erratic, and Zhang Mai's eyes turned straight, showing that he was not so sincere. To be on the safe side, my military adviser proposes to wait a few days later, and when General Liao's water diversion division arrives, we can cross the river before it is too late." He said and looked at Yang Yong. .

Du Fuwei was unhappy when he heard this, and thought to himself, Xu Maogong is too arbitrary, you can tell that there is a problem just from the expressions and eyes of the two of them?Wouldn't it be wrong for you to make a mistake in your judgment?It's really walking and touching the butt, isn't it too careful?Is that necessary?It will take at least ten and a half months for Liao Yong to arrive from the Huaihe Navy. The key is how do we explain to Wang Xiong and the others?The second general sent a boat to pick us up, but we didn't take the boat. Isn't that obviously distrusting people?
Therefore, without waiting for Yang Yong to speak, Du Fuwei saluted again: "The military commander is cautious, and my subordinates admire it. But according to my subordinates, Wang Xiong is absolutely fine, and my subordinates dare to use the head of the item as a guarantee. As for Fu Gong Er , although he has some grievances against his subordinates, but he has no military power. Even if he has ghosts in his heart, it is difficult to cause a big storm. At most, it is a mantis arm blocking the ears. Therefore, according to the subordinates, it is absolutely no problem to cross the river to take over Danyang now. If If we procrastinate, not only will it be difficult to explain to the Danyang soldiers, but it will also leave a cowardly excuse for the world, so I hope the prince and the military adviser think twice."
