Chapter 216 Meng Guang and the Beautiful Woman
"General!"
"An urgent letter from General Xu Mujun!"
Jingzhou, the naval stronghold.
Shentu Kui rushed to the main camp and shouted, "Brother! Brother!"
"Emergency military information, General Xu asked us to send troops to attack Changhe City as soon as possible."
"Big brother!"
“Stop first…!”
Meng Guang's anxious voice came from the room, but it was too late.
Shentu Kui pushed the door open and a woman's scream was heard from inside the room.
In a trance, Shentu Kui saw a plump woman and quickly got into bed, while Meng Guang, with her upper body naked, also put on clothes.
"Third brother!"
Meng Guang suppressed his anger, covered the woman behind him with the quilt, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to wait?"
"Hehehehe..."
Shen Tukui scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Brother, you are too slow. I really...ah..."
"Um, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm leaving now..."
Shentu Kui glanced at the woman and found her familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
After Shentu Kui left, Meng Guang quickly put on her clothes.
"General~"
The woman snorted softly and crawled out from the bed, her hair disheveled and her expression innocent and naive.
"Who is that big guy? He actually barged in without any notice. I'm so scared that my heart is still beating fast~"
Meng Guang put on his clothes and laughed, "Your heart is beating so fast, let me massage it for you~"
"General, you are bad~!"
"Hahaha~"
Meng Guang laughed and stood up, suddenly turned around and said: "Sit up and learn it again for me~"
"Yes, General~"
The woman stood up with a strange expression on her face, but she still tried to sit on the edge of the bed, raised her head, and slightly lifted her chin. She looked a little arrogant and nonchalant, and said softly, "Back off~"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's the feeling, hahahaha..."
Meng Guang laughed loudly, kissed the woman hard on the cheek, and said excitedly: "It's no wonder that I wasted so much time to find you. You look alike, so alike!"
"Hahaha……"
Laughing loudly, Meng Guang strode out of the room, leaving the woman alone.
The woman's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Meng Guang, you bastard...you will die a horrible death!"
"You killed my husband, forced me here, and made me learn from a strange woman all day, making me miserable... I, Yu Ying'er, will definitely avenge you!"
Outside the door, Meng Guang quickly walked to the meeting hall.
Although it was already late at night, there were still many people guarding the place.
Moreover, the meeting hall was also very lively, with at least seven or eight people waiting for the lights to be turned on.
Shentu Kui was whispering something to Sun Hui, and he kept laughing, with a very strange look in his eyes.
Seeing Meng Guang coming, Tan Yunlong on the side quickly kicked him, and the two of them quickly restrained their expressions and looked straight ahead.
Meng Guang frowned, but still held back.
Now their navy is fighting with the Tuoba family navy at the edge of Yunmengze. Although the Tuoba family navy is not large in number, they are very familiar with the terrain and are all elite troops, with several masters among them.
He still needs these brothers to help him fight, so he can't offend them at this time.
"General Shentu, what intelligence did you receive that required you to summon everyone here so late at night?"
Meng Guang sat on the main seat and asked.
"Return to the general!"
Shen Tu Kui strode out and said loudly, "I just received a pigeon message from General Xu. He asked us to capture Changhe City as soon as possible to contain the Tuoba family's army."
More than two years was enough time for Meng Guang to train these brothers into qualified soldiers.
Especially in terms of address, it is no longer underworld terms such as Big Brother or Second Brother, but rather addresses such as General and Last General.
"Attack Changhe City? Pin down the Tuoba family's army?"
Meng Guang's eyes lit up slightly and he said, "This order... could it be that General Xu is going to launch a general attack?"
"Bring me the map!"
The map was quickly unfolded and everyone looked at the map, especially the border between Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
Unlike the military situation in other states and counties, because of the Yunmeng Lake, the armies of Jingzhou and Yangzhou can only be concentrated in large cities on a few islands or water forts.
Now, on the northern edge of Yunmengze, Meng Guang led an army of 100,000 stationed in Zhuxi City, blocking the Tuoba family's way to the north.
More than a year ago, Meng Guang led his army into Yunmengze, hoping to find the main force of the Tuoba family.
But who would have thought that a thick fog would suddenly rise that night, covering most of the Yunmeng Lake.
Meng Guang's army of 100,000 was pitch dark, unable to take care of the front and rear, and was suddenly ambushed by the army of the Tuoba family.
Even though the formation was in chaos at that time, the navy gradually gained a foothold by relying on the advantages of firearms. Moreover, with Meng Guangyi's flame as a signal, many naval forces began to gradually gather together, forming a water castle with warships to resist the attack of the Tuoba family navy.
The Yunmeng Lake water battle lasted for three consecutive days, and both sides left at least tens of thousands of corpses on the Yunmeng Lake.
Just when the Tuoba family navy was about to collapse, several monks suddenly came riding on the waves, raising a huge wave over ten meters high, which fell from the sky carrying a large number of soldiers' corpses and slammed heavily into the navy formation.
Simultaneously.
These monks also relied on the power of their magic weapons, held up their protective magic shields and resisted the navy's firearms, easily burning dozens of large ships.
With the participation of these monks, the imperial navy was unable to resist effectively and had to retreat helplessly.
In this battle, the navy lost more than 30,000 people and more than 500 warships.
If the artillerymen who stayed in Zhuxi City had not fired shells continuously and forced back the monks of Tuoba family, the 100,000 elite navy under Meng Guang might have been lost in Yunmengze.
After this great battle, the navy suffered heavy losses and Meng Guang had to switch from active offense to strategic defense.
He also wrote a letter to apologize, taking all the blame on himself and begging His Majesty to punish him.
Fortunately, His Majesty was wise and did not punish Meng Guang, but instead removed him from the post of Governor-General of Liangjiang and focused on leading the navy to assist Xu Mu's army in attacking the Tuoba family in Yunmengze. After more than a year of recuperation, the navy under Meng Guang gradually recovered.
They continued to fight against the rebels of the Tuoba family in Yunmengze and sent a large number of spies to infiltrate Yunmengze to investigate.
The entire Yunmengze has gradually revealed its true face to the imperial court.
Even the map of Yunmengze is updated once a month to help us get to know Yunmengze better.
Meng Guang pointed at the map and said, "My Dayu navy is stationed in Zhuxi City, and the Yunmengze Tuoba family we are facing is mainly concentrated in Changhe City on Wuxi Island in the south."
"Wuxi Island is surrounded by rivers on all sides and its area is not large, but only the east and south sides of the island are suitable for landing operations, so this landing operation plan is still on the east side of Wuxi Island!"
Shen Tu Kui said loudly: "General! Let me, Lao Kui, go first this time. Last time I sneaked into Wuxi Island to check it out, and found an area that can be flattened with bombs, and it can also become a suitable place for landing."
Meng Guang's eyes flashed and he asked, "Where is it?"
"The northern part of Wuxi Island is the closest to us. People on Wuxi Island call it 'Snake Island'. They say a giant snake once rolled out there, causing huge waves that almost flooded the entire Wuxi Island."
Shen Tu Kui said, "What giant snake? I think it's the people on Wuxi Island who mistook ordinary waves for giant beasts. We have been stationed here for so many years, how come we have never seen a giant beast?"
Meng Guang shook his head and said, "Don't take it lightly. The enemy we are facing this time includes cultivators!"
"Monk..."
There was some worry in the eyes of several people. If it weren't for the presence of the cultivators, they would have flattened Yunmengze long ago!
Otherwise, we wouldn't be like we are now, where we can only rely on firearms to defend Zhuxi City.
If this continues, although they have not yet failed, the morale of the navy in the city has long been worn down.
Tan Yunlong suddenly said: "General, our main opponents in this battle are actually those two monks."
"As long as we deal with those two monks, the rest of the Tuoba family won't be a concern."
"I also know about this, but..."
Just then, a messenger walked in quickly.
"Repay...!"
"What's the matter?"
The messenger said quickly: "There is a man outside the military camp who claims to be a minister of the Shangwu Division. He has come to Yunmengze to help the general!"
"Shobushi?"
Meng Guang's eyes lit up slightly: "Please come in!"
Soon, a tall young man strode in.
The young man was thin, but his eyes were extremely sharp.
Shentu Kui noticed something was wrong with this man at first sight. His hands were actually a circle larger than those of an ordinary man, and it was obvious that he had mastered the art of double-handed training.
"I am Bai Feihu from the Shangwu Division, nice to meet General Meng!"
"White Flying Tiger?"
Several people looked at each other, having never heard of this name.
Only Meng Guang on the stage said with a twinkle in his eyes: "But is He Fei's eldest brother?"
Bai Feihu smiled and said, "General Meng has a good memory. Concubine He is my sister."
"Please take a seat quickly!"
After Bai Feihu sat down, Meng Guang asked, "I wonder why Brother Bai came here this time?"
"To be honest with you, General Meng, I came here to help you on the orders of General Ma Jinwu."
"Master Ma Jinwu?"
Meng Guang shook his head and said, "But is it the former Jinyiwei commander, Lord Ma Jinwu?"
"Yes!"
Meng Guang hesitated and said, "To be honest with you, Brother Bai, the Yu Navy is now facing not only the Tuoba family of Yunmengze, but also the two cultivators of the Tuoba family."
"The Tuoba family rebels are easy to deal with. My Dayu Navy can destroy them in a snap."
"But those two monks are too difficult to deal with. An army of 100,000 can't do anything to them."
Bai Feihu said: "I came here this time just for these two monks."
"Oh? I wonder if Brother Bai has any good ideas?"
Bai Feihu shook his head and said, "It's not a strategy, but something that Lord Ma gave to me."
"One thing?"
"good."
As he spoke, Bai Feihu took out a wooden box only half the size of his palm from his sleeve and placed it on the table, speaking in a strange tone.
"Master Ma said that when I encounter a monk, as long as I open this wooden box, and then use a drop of blood he gave me mixed with a difficult formula, I can use the treasure in this wooden box to kill the monk."
Meng Guang had a strange look in her eyes, but she understood what he was thinking about when she thought about the relationship between Ma Jinwu and His Majesty.
Could it be that there is some immortal treasure in this wooden box that can kill a monk in an instant?
"Brother Bai is able to come and help me this time. It is a great honor for me. Come on... bring some wine! I want to have a drink with Brother Bai!"
Most of the people present were warriors, and under the stimulation of alcohol, they soon became lively. Bai Feihu and Meng Guang even called each other brothers and drank happily.
On the other side, Shentu Kui was drinking and thinking hard, muttering something.
"I seem to have seen that woman somewhere before. She looks so familiar. Where is she?"
"Third brother, what are you mumbling about?"
Tan Yunlong touched him and asked curiously.
Shen Tu Kui suddenly shuddered and said, "I remember now!"
"Second brother! I remembered who that woman resembled."
"What woman?"
"That's the woman that my eldest brother snatched from Yunmengze a few months ago."
"Oh? With whom?"
"and……"
Shen Tukui was about to speak, but he quickly thought of something and whispered into Tan Yunlong's ear: "It seems like..."
"what?!"
