Kick the wrong car door and ride the wrong horse

At this moment in Yang Ming's military camp, Xiao Bowen was trying his best to persuade Yang Ming to attack the capital, even after he refused many times, he still didn't give up.

"General Yang, I have already discussed this matter with the emperor. Since we hit their doorstep, we have to go to their hometown. Now we hide here, this... what is this? "Xiao Bowen's tone has become extremely impatient, even a little excited.

Yang Ming was already in a bad mood, and he was even more unhappy after talking about it for a long time, so he gave up observing the map, turned to Xiao Bowen and said, "Hasn't Mr. Prime Minister studied the map? The terrain of Kyoto is not suitable for attacking at all, and we are short of soldiers and food, so if we act rashly, the sacrifice is small for you and me, but it will be a big trouble to bring this group of soldiers to die."

"As a sergeant, one should die for the country, so what is death?" Xiao Bowen roared vigorously.

"Since the prime minister said so, then I have nothing to say. At the beginning, my lord promised the emperor that as long as I brought you to Dongying, you would definitely let me win the battle, but now I said that I died for the country. Could it be that Is it because the adult's internal response is no longer enough?" Yang Ming stared straight at Xiao Bowen with shrewd eyes, which seemed to be a little guilty.

"General Yang, my secret agent is in Kyoto. How can I know if I can do it if I have been hiding here? In order to win the victory faster, I still think I should get up and go to Kyoto." Xiao Bowen shook his sleeves and said, "In short, it doesn't matter. Do you agree or not, you must rise from the stronghold tomorrow."

"My lord, we managed to quell the resentment and anger of the surrounding people. Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the previous naval battle?" Yang Ming walked to the table unhappy, picked up the commander's seal on the table and said, "Now I am a general and the supreme commander of the army. If I don't agree, I can't do it."

Xiao Bowen's face was livid, he stared at Yang Ming angrily, exhaled a thick white mist in disdain, his eyes were reddish, and his trembling lips seemed to express his dissatisfaction.

"Your Excellency, you don't need to be so anxious. We don't want to be far away from the pier. The ships and everything are on the side of the pier. If something goes wrong, it's easy to leave." Yang Ming swayed on the spot, "You must know that the lone army goes deep into the enemy Battalion is taboo for military strategists."

"Since General Yang thinks this way, it is inconvenient for me to say anything more. If the plan to go deep into the capital cannot be completed and the emperor blames me, don't blame me." Xiao Bowen turned around and prepared to leave after speaking.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, if the emperor blames me, I will bear it alone." Yang Ming said loudly.

Xiao Bowen went back to his tent, after thinking about it, he finally felt that something was wrong, and finally called his confidant in.

This is a man who looks to be in his 30s, the distance between his eyebrows and eyes is extremely small, and his thick lips look ugly.

"My lord." The man cupped his hands and said, "What do you want my lord to call this villain?"

Xiao Bowen thought for a while, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

"My lord, will he be suspicious in this way? After all, this matter is quite serious." The man looked embarrassed.

Xiao Bowen gave him a blank look and said, "You guys should be careful, how can they say we did it if they don't have a clue?"

The man smiled contemptuously and said, "That's true. The villain will go and prepare first."

"Go, be careful in everything, don't let them find out." Xiao Bowen warned a few more worriedly.

Night fell quickly, and the night in Dongpu was a bit cold, so the sergeants usually hid in their tents to rest, but tonight, they saw a few people sneaking out of the barracks with their waists bent, and ran towards the ships by the pier.

In the middle of the night, someone rushed into Yang Ming's tent and shouted eagerly, "General... something... something happened."

Yang Ming got up from the chair, his complexion changed, he quickly supported the other party, and said, "What happened, please speak slowly."

"The warship, the warship is on fire." The man panted heavily after finishing speaking.

Yang Ming's eyes suddenly turned gray, and he hurriedly asked: "How is the situation now, have you put out the fire?" After speaking, he hurried out of the tent.

The complainant rushed out behind him, and kept shouting: "We are already saving, but the fire is too big. I feel that even if it can be saved, it will suffer a lot of damage."

"No matter what, you must rescue me, otherwise this general will not let anyone go." Yang Ming's eyes turned red anxiously. You must know that this is their way of retreat. If they are defeated in Dongpu, they can still escape by boat, but what about now? ?If the warship cannot be rescued, then these sergeants are likely to die in a foreign country, and none of them can go back.

The fire was so intense that within less than half a stick of incense, the boat was almost burnt to an empty shell. When Yang Ming arrived at the pier, the voices of people shook the sky, resounding through the sky, and at the same time, the flames splashed everywhere, burning people's faces. It doesn't feel hot.

Although Yang Ming was burning with anxiety, seeing the unstoppable fire, he could only sigh, "God will kill me."

As soon as he said this, Yang Ming seemed to suddenly remember something, he turned around and ran away quickly, he believed that all this must have something to do with the so-called prime minister.

However, Xiao Bowen sent people to kill those who did this, so when Yang Ming returned to the barracks and came to Xiao Bowen's tent, he saw a dozen corpses lined up in front of the tent.

Xiao Bowen shouted angrily, "What a bunch of scum, a bunch of scum."

Yang Ming stepped forward with a sneer, and asked curiously, "This is it?"

Xiao Bowen pretended to see Yang Ming just now, immediately put away his angry expression, and then said in embarrassment: "The general is here, these are the people who set fire to the boat, I have sent people to kill them all, I hope the general's anger can be calmed down." Thunder Fury."

Yang Ming glanced at the corpse, then raised his head, and said contemptuously: "It doesn't matter, it's just a few boats. I believe the emperor will send someone to pick us up after he knows."

"It's also good to burn it, it just cuts off our idea of ​​continuing to go to the capital, and lurks here with peace of mind waiting for the court to pick us up." Yang Ming looked at Xiao Bowen and said with a smile, "My lord, what you said next is right. Isn't it right?"

Xiao Bowen also laughed and said, "I don't agree with what the general said. Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, why don't we go to the capital and try our best? Maybe we can find a way to survive?"

Yang Ming shook his head lightly and said, "Your Excellency is so persistent in going to the capital, could it be that you started the fire?"

Xiao Bowen's complexion changed, he pretended to smile and said: "The general is really joking, how could I do such a thing?"
