Kneeling for a Monthly Ticket: Defeating Nieliang, Attacking Yang Tao, Pointing the Sword to the World 99

"Oh, don't say these sad things anymore, the more you say it, the more sad you become."

Yang Si waved his hand, indicating that Pi would skip this slightly thorny topic.

Smacking his lips, Yang Si felt a little thirsty, and asked the captain, "Is there any wine in the cabin?"

General Pi smiled and said, "Where can I drink before the battle? Even if the general faces the military adviser, the general will not know how to break the law, can he? Instead, he put a few baskets of lychees. They said they were just picked yesterday, and they were said to be late ripening. Small, with a lot of flesh, do you want to try something new?"

Litchi is a rare commodity. Although there are a lot of production, but because it is not easy to preserve, people living in the north can rarely eat this kind of delicacy.

Even if you can eat it, the value of that lychee is worth a thousand gold. For example, dig out the whole lychee tree, and then use a boat to go north along the waterway. The manpower and material resources consumed are not small, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. Of course, lychees are not expensive in lychee producing areas.

Yang Si smiled and said, "You smart ghost, why didn't I hear that litchis were delivered?"

Bi will have someone bring that basket of lychees. The skin of this basket of lychees is bright red, with scaly protrusions, and the appearance is excellent.

"There are a lot of lychees in Mo Jiang's hometown, and his parents planted them for the local wealthy households." Pi Jiang said with a smile, "Since Mo Jiang has followed the lord, the life of parents, wives and children has also been easier, relying on Mo Jiang to send them back I bought more than ten acres of lychee trees with my money, and this year is said to be a bumper harvest. Coincidentally, this place is not far from the last general’s hometown, and it takes three or four days by land, but it only takes more than a day to go all the way down the river by water.”

General Pi is a sincere person, and he also knows that his military division is powerful, and if he conceals it, he is courting death, and he may be hated instead of pleasing him.

He said, "I heard that the military division liked these things, so the general asked his parents to pick some and send them to someone."

When Yang Si was young, he traveled around to study, and naturally he also went to the place where lychees were produced, and this food was indeed delicious.

"How many baskets are there in the cabin?"

Yang Si looked at these lychees, they were plump and attractive, they were obviously carefully selected, and they were kept fresh by freezing them with special means.

He twirled one, feeling a bit cool at his fingertips.

As a very cultured foodie, Yang Si,

Peeling lychees is also different from others.

The advantage is to use your nails to peel off the shell little by little, not to mention that the hands are easy to get dirty, and the lychee water will stick to the hands, which is not clean.

He directly twisted the tip of the lychee with his index finger and thumb, and made a little effort along the line of the lychee shell.

With a very slight sound, the shell of the lychee split along the line, revealing the crystal and translucent creamy flesh.

General Pi is still peeling, Yang Si has already eaten two.

"Fifteen baskets have been sent, can the military adviser want one basket?"

Seeing that Yang Si stripped cleanly and quickly, General Pi imitated his movements and found it much easier.

An educated person is an educated person. Peeling a lychee is more sophisticated than ordinary people, and it looks clean.

"So much?" Yang Sisi thought about the lychees he ate during his study tour. The production area of ​​lychees is indeed not low. He smiled, "Leave a basket for Fenglangzi and General Fu, and share the rest with the soldiers. .How much is the lychee worth, and I will reimburse you."

General Pi said, "The ones grown at home are not worth a lot of money."

"That's not going to work. There are no rules and you can't make a square." Yang Si said, "If the lord knows, she won't agree."

Although he grows it by himself, it doesn't take time and energy to serve the lychee tree. As a military adviser, he can't take advantage of his own soldiers.

Military generals in troubled times are all occupations with their heads pinned to their belts, so they can't be treated harshly.

General Pi couldn't hold back Yang Si, so he could only accept his kindness.

Yang Si sent soldiers to distribute the several baskets of lychees to each ship, and spread them out, and each person only got one piece.

He was thinking that this kid Xie Ze was also there, so he made a special trip to send someone to give Xie Ze also a small half.

"If this battle is over and there are still lychees left, let's go and eat more."

General Pi laughed and said, "If that's the case, then I really thank the military advisor for the local people."

Litchi is indeed a rare commodity, but not many people can afford it, and the annual output is relatively high, so there is no market for lychees in the local area. The price of selling it to other places is higher, but this thing is not easy to preserve, and the preservation cost and transportation cost are terribly high.

Yang Si looks a little thin, but has a big appetite.

If it weren't for the fact that lychees are warm and eat too much, he would really want to eat them to support the wall.

After a while, a small pile of lychee shells and cores had accumulated on the deck.

Time passed quickly, as if passing through the fingers, and the surface of the river slowly began to gather a little mist.

Yang Sidao, "I really let Feng Langzi say it right. When it comes to fog, it will be foggy. He ordered the whole army to be vigilant and prevent the enemy from invading."

Pi will pass the message on immediately.

"Military division, everything is ready."

Xie Ze was not on the same boat as Yang Si, but they were not far away, so they could be heard with a louder voice.

Yang Sidao, "Well, tell General Xie to be ready to defend against the enemy at any time."

He didn't have Xie Ze's full-bodied voice, so he had to let General Pi convey it for him.

If Yan Lin and the others stayed here, they would find that something was wrong with the ships transporting grain and grass.

Let's talk about the appearance of the ships first. Ordinary warships are the color of the wood itself, but the appearance of Yang Si's warships is painted black.

Besides boats and boats, there is actually a thick and long hemp rope tied between each boat!

You must know that in order to ensure the mobility of water battles and prevent them from being completely burned by the enemy, ships are generally not connected.

Yang Si made a fundamental mistake?

It is not!

Yang Si made this arrangement with great meaning.

Today is the night of the new moon with a very dark moon, the night is very dark, and there is heavy fog at midnight, which can easily interfere with the sight of the enemy and ourselves.

In order to ensure that the formation of the fleet does not disperse, they are temporarily connected with thick and long hemp ropes. If there is an enemy situation that needs to change the formation, it can be cut off at any time.

In addition, they painted the surface of the ship in black, which almost blended with the night and the river surface. If there was another heavy fog, let alone the enemy could not find themselves, they would not even be able to find themselves. It's always handy to have a cord attached.

The "grain transport fleet" follows the original route situation.

As time went by, everyone's nerves tensed into a thread, and they were always worried that an enemy would suddenly appear.

The assistant general said, "Military Master, it's getting late, you go to the cabin to rest first."

If the enemy came out, they would definitely attack with a rain of arrows. Yang Si could easily be accidentally injured while staying on the deck.

Yang Sidan squinted his eyes, put his index finger against his lips, and signaled Pijiang to keep silent.

"Tell General Xie that if the prediction is correct, the enemy will definitely ambush in the waters ahead—"

General Pi couldn't yell loudly this time, and directly slapped the semaphore.

Because the distance between the two ships was not too far, they could barely see the message conveyed by the semaphore.

At the same time, Yan Lin and the others are also preparing for battle.

Half an hour later, the fog was already very thick.

Yan Lin pressed the hilt of the saber with his left hand, frowning tightly.

"Not yet?"

At this time, he faintly saw something floating on the water.

Yan Lin immediately ordered someone to salvage it with a pole covered with a net, and take a look at it——

Lychee shells!

The general said, "How can there be such a thing on the surface of the river?"

Yan Lin said, "The enemy is coming soon, order the soldiers to prepare for battle!"

Oh, I really have time to spare, and I actually started to eat lychees, which spread all over the river.
