89 Cao Xinyu said it in an understatement, but Ma Yoko was not so calm. This was his first real water battle, the navy of the Northern Army. Although Cao Xinyu was the commander, he had no real control over personnel.

In Mayou

In his hands, he was also the actual commander of the navy. As a general who had no future in land warfare, he had suffered a lot in order to find a new way out of the Northern Expedition Army system with many famous generals.

bitter

Head. Today, his water nature is the best choice among the navy. Even in water battles, he is like a little baby, starting from the most basic things. His cousin, Zhengbei Dudu Mansion

Ma Yikong, Director of the Department of Planning and Finance, updated

He tried his best to collect a batch of naval battle strategies for him. The notes of past naval generals were sent to him, and he followed Cao Xinyu step by step. In more than a year, he had indeed completed a transformation.

.

This is his first battle, and it is also an opportunity to truly demonstrate what he has learned in actual combat. How can he not be nervous? However, Cao Xinyu said that the battle between the two sides turned out to be a 50-50 split, which is often a 50-50 split.

The biggest test is the general's command ability. Although Ma You has not yet taken over the actual command from Cao Xinyu, he is still nervous. If he fails, he will not be able to explain to the governor firstly, and secondly he will only

I'm afraid the image will be greatly compromised.

Yo Ma, who was worried, did not expect that the next scene would be like this. An expected battle turned into another big drama.

We set out in the morning. At noon, we saw the sails of the Jingzhou Navy in the distance. The alarm bell rang loudly and the combatants took up their positions. When they started to form the formation, a five-masted warship from the other side broke away from the formation and sailed towards them quickly, leaving behind

Although the large team below also raised their sails, they remained motionless in place.

The strange sight also surprised veteran Cao Xinyu. I wonder what the opponent caused the fuss about? Did the opponent want each side to send a ship to fight in a duel? Cao Xinyu himself also felt that this idea was too funny.

However, an even more jaw-dropping situation occurred. As the navy of the Northern Conquest Army gradually approached, a white flag was raised on the main mast of the Jingzhou Navy warship. This made the entire Navy of the Northern Conquest Army panic.

There was a commotion.

"General Ma, General Cao, the other party has sent a signal, requesting to cross the ship!" The so-called "passing the ship" means that someone from the other party asked to board the ship. Yo Ma and Cao Xinyu looked at each other. After a long while, Yo Ma said: "Send the signal, agree!"

A small sampan was lowered on the opposite side, and a helmeted and armored general with only one rowing sailor headed this way.

"Old Cao, tell me, what does this mean?" Yo Ma looked at Cao Xinyu, "Surrendering without a fight? They have an advantage."

"Something must have happened!" Cao Xinyu muttered.

"There won't be any conspiracy, right?" Yo Ma said worriedly.

Cao Xinyu snorted, "On the surface of the water, it is clear at a glance what kind of conspiracy there is. Could it be that the other party gave us a five-masted warship for free? The price is too high, right?"

While they were talking, the small sampan had already docked with their flagship, and the general climbed up the rope ladder.

"Zhang Yujie?" Cao Xinyu looked at the other party in astonishment, "Why is it you?"

"General Cao?" Looking at Cao Xinyu, Zhang Yujie also had a look of shock on his face, "Why are you in the Navy of the Northern Campaign?" After a while, he realized, "It turns out that you are in charge of the Navy of the Northern Campaign. No wonder you were in charge of the Navy of the Northern Campaign last time."

General Ji Wuliangji returned with a disastrous defeat?"

"Do you know each other?" Yo Ma on the side looked at Cao Xinyu and asked.

Cao Xinyu smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to the commander of the navy of the Northern Expedition Army, General Ma Youma! His name is Zhang Yujie. When I was in the Jingzhou Navy, he was still a junior under my command. I can't believe that more than ten years have passed.

, and he has become a general!"

Zhang Yujie said with a smile: "I benefited a lot from following General Cao back then. Without General Cao's words and deeds, how could I be where I am today? General Cao, I really didn't expect to meet you here? How have you been doing these years?"

"

Yo Ma laughed and said, "General Cao is now the deputy commander of the navy of our Northern Army. Why not? Well, Zhang Yujie, since you are General Cao's old subordinate, I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, what are you guys doing?"

Where to go?"

Zhang Yujie looked back at the fleet of Jingzhou Navy in the distance, "To be honest with the two generals, General Ji Wuliang is at the end of his rope. He has no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. He has no choice but to come and join the Northern Army.

To find a way out."

"What happened?" Yo Ma and Cao Xinyu asked at the same time.

"When the incident involving the sale of ships by Commander Ji Wu Jiu occurred, General Cheng Qun was furious and sent General Jiang Guangyu to Jingzhou to secretly arrest Ji Wu Jiu and everyone in the Ji family. Only Ji Wu Liang led his troops to search for Zheng Zhou.

We narrowly escaped because of the traces of the Northern Army Navy. Now Li Hongchao, deputy commander of the Jingzhou Navy, is leading his troops to pursue us.

And ahead, we were faced with the Navy of the Northern Army. General Ji Wuliang had no way to retreat. He was blocked in front. He had no choice but to surrender to the Navy of the Northern Army. I was ordered to come here to discuss the matter of surrender, but I didn't expect that.

We met General Cao here!" Zhang Yujie said with a smile on his face, "This is great! We are saved!"

Cao Xinyu sneered, "It's not necessarily that good? Ji family, Ji Wuliang, so you guys are also here today? Hahaha!"

Looking at Cao Xinyu's extremely happy face, Zhang Yujie was stunned. He suddenly remembered the past of the Jingzhou Navy, and his face was full of panic. At that time, Cao Xinyu was excluded by the Ji family and could not gain a foothold in the Jingzhou Navy.

, so I had to run away with hatred.

Cao Xinyu's heart was full of joy, but Yo Ma didn't think so. For him, this was a gift from God. No matter what Wuliang's past was or what his character was, the twenty five-masted battleships he commanded

The ships are real, not only warships, but also nearly a hundred auxiliary warships of various types, which are not in short supply in the navy of the Northern Conquest Army.

, you must know that the huge amount of money spent to purchase these warships of the current Northern Conquest Army Navy has caused endless quarrels within the Northern Conquest Army. If it were not for the support of the Commander-in-Chief, it would have been impossible for the Northern Conquest Army Navy to expand to what it is today.

At this point, from his uncle, Ma You knew more or less something about the war over land and water within the Governor's Mansion of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Ma Youren spoke softly. If it were not for the strong support of the cousin of the Director of the Department of Planning and Finance and the governor, I am afraid that the navy of the Northern Expedition Army would still only have a few small boats floating on the river!

There are twenty five-masted warships. My friend Ma almost drooled.

"General Zhang, please, please come into the cabin to talk in detail!" He took Zhang Yujie's hand and said, "General Ji Wuliang has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. We welcome him very much!"

After entering the cabin, the guests and hosts sat down. Seeing that twenty warships were within easy reach, Yo Ma seemed particularly enthusiastic. He repeatedly ordered tea to be served, good tea to be served, please have a seat, please have a seat. This enthusiasm made Cao Cao on the side more enthusiastic.

Xinyu choked and rolled his eyes, but Ma You was the commander of the Navy and his direct subordinate. This was of great importance.

Xinyu still knows that although Ma You handed over the command of the fleet to him, he was relying on his own expertise, and in the system of the Northern Expedition Army, the boundaries between upper and lower ranks were extremely strict. If he openly challenged Ma You's authority,

, then his good days in the navy of the Northern Army will not last too long.

Sitting quietly on one side, his eyebrows lowered, he said nothing.

Zhang Yujie glanced at him with some worry. He knew more or less about the grudges back then.

"Tell me, what does General Ji Wuliang want?" Ma You got straight to the point. It was only natural that he brought such a large fleet to surrender and offered some conditions.

"Our fleet cannot be dispersed, our soldiers cannot be dispersed, and our command rights cannot be deprived. Under this premise, we are willing to serve as the main force of the Northern Army, obey the dispatch of the Northern Army and fight for it!" Zhang Yujie made a request!

.

"This is impossible!" Cao Xinyu on the side suddenly jumped up, "Ji Wuliang should understand that it is inevitable for them to surrender and the army to reorganize. This is a matter of common sense! I don't think he is sincere at all.

!”

Yo Ma raised his hand and waved, "General Cao, please be patient!" He turned to look at Zhang Yujie, "What else?"

"No more!" Zhang Yujie spread his hands. "These are our conditions. General Ji Wuliang knows very well that now that we are desperate, we are not qualified to raise more conditions!"

"Hehe, this condition is enough. Does Ji Wuliang want to apply what he did to the Jingzhou Navy to our Northern Army Navy?" Cao Xinyu sneered.

"Old Cao!" Yo Ma stared at him dissatisfied.

"General Zhang, for now, General Ji Wuliang's request is not excessive. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. We welcome General Ji's abandonment of darkness and the light of day, but I don't have to deny what you said.

These things are just your personal opinions. We have no proof, so we have to be careful. Are you setting a trap to murder us? I think General Zhang can understand this, right?" Ma You said.

"Of course, I understand. I believe the intelligence system of the Northern Conquest Army will get the news soon."

"I think so too, so I ask you to tell General Ji when you go back. I will report the news of General Ji's desertion to the light to Governor Yun as soon as possible. I will also list the conditions attached by General Ji. As for whether I can agree to it,

It doesn’t matter what I say! General Zhang can understand this if the governor nods!”

"I understand, I understand!" Zhang Yujie nodded repeatedly.

"But before that, we don't have no chance to cooperate!" Ma Yo stood up with a smile and pointed in the direction of Jingzhou, "According to what you said, Jingzhou Navy Deputy Commander Li Hongchao has led his army to attack, so,

Before the Governor's reply comes, we can cooperate to destroy this enemy first. This can be regarded as General Ji's pledge of surrender!"

"What does General Ma mean?"

"General Zhang is a veteran on the water and an experienced general. You should understand what I mean. From the beginning, this battle can only be fought by General Ji. We will join in at the appropriate time. I think Li Hongchao never expected that we would be on one side."

Of course, I have also chosen the battlefield for General Ji!" Yo Ma pulled up the map and pointed with his finger, "We will start a war with the opponent here, and we will be here, and we will rush to the battlefield from here. All we need is

Half an hour!"
