Chapter 559: The Only Way Out

Cao Xinyu said it lightly, but Ma You was not so calm. This was his first real water battle. Although Cao Xinyu was the commander, his real personnel control was in the hands of Ma You. He was also a real naval commander. As a general who had no chance to make a breakthrough in land war, in order to make a different path, he suffered a lot from the famous generals' system of the Northern Army. Now, his water nature is the best choice among the navy. Even if it is water battle, he also started to learn from the most basic things. His cousin, Ma Yigong, director of the Planning and Finance Department of the General Administration of the North, tried his best to collect a group of naval combat strategies for him. The notes of the navy 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 show what he has learned to actual combat. How can he not be nervous? However, Cao Xinyu said that the war between the two sides was actually 55. Often, the most test of this 55-5 game is the command ability of the general. Although Ma You has not taken over the actual command from Cao Xinyu, he is still very nervous. If he fails, it will be difficult for him to explain to the governor, but secondly, he is afraid that the reflection will be greatly reduced.

The anxious Ma You didn't expect the next scene to be like this. A expected battle turned into another drama.

When we set off in the morning, at noon, we saw the shadow of the Jingzhou Navy's sail from afar. The alarm bell rang, and the combatants were all in their place. When we started to line up, a five-masted warship on the other side left the queue and rushed towards them. Although the remaining large team also raised sails, they remained still.

The strange scene surprised the veteran Cao Xinyu. I wonder which of the opponent was making a fuss? Does the opponent want both sides to fight one-on-one? Cao Xinyu himself also thought this idea was too funny.

However, even more jaw-dropping situations occurred. As we gradually approached the Navy of the Northern Army, a white flag was actually raised on the main mast of the Jingzhou Navy warship, which made the entire Navy of the Northern Army commotion.

"General Ma, General Cao, the other party sent a signal to ask for a ship to pass!" The so-called passing means that someone on the other party asked to get on the ship. Ma You and Cao Xinyu looked at each other for a while, Ma You said: "Send a signal, agree!"

A small sampan was placed opposite, and a general with a helmet and armored carriage came towards him with only a boating sailor.

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

"Something must have happened!" Cao Xinyu pondered.

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

Cao Xinyu sniffed his nose, "On the water surface, it was obvious at a glance. Is there any conspiracy? Could it be that the other party gave us a five-masted warship for free? The price is too high, right?"

While speaking, the small sampan had already leaned on their flagship, and the general climbed up along the rope ladder.

"Zhang Yujie?" Cao Xinyu looked at the other party in amazement, "Why are you?"

"General Cao?" Looking at Cao Xinyu, Zhang Yujie was also shocked, "Why are you in the Navy of the Northern Army?" After a while, he came to his senses, "It turned out that you were in charge of the Navy of the Northern Army. No wonder General Ji Wuliangji returned in the last time he was defeated?"

"Do you know each other?" Ma You looked at Cao Xinyu and asked.

Cao Xinyu smiled, "Let me introduce it, General Ma You and Ma! His name is Zhang Yujie. When I was in the Jingzhou Navy, he was still a small school under my command. I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed and I have become a general!"

Zhang Yujie smiled and said, "I benefited a lot from following General Cao back then. Without General Cao's words and deeds, how could I be like today? General Cao really didn't expect to meet you here? Are you doing well over the years?"

Ma You laughed, "General Cao is now the deputy commander of the Navy of the Northern Army. How is that bad? Well, Zhang Yujie, since you are General Cao's old subordinate, I won't turn around. To be honest, what are you playing?"

Zhang Yujie looked back at the Jingzhou Navy fleet in the distance, "To be honest, General Ji Wuliang is now at the end of his journey, with no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. In his helplessness, he could only come and seek a way out for the Northern Army in order to find a way out."

"What happened?" Ma You and Cao Xinyu asked in unison.

"The incident of commander Ji Wujiu selling the ship happened. General Cheng Qun was furious and sent General Jiang Guangyu to Jingzhou to secretly arrest Ji Wujiu and all the Ji family. Only Ji Wuliang escaped by luck because he led his army out to search for the navy of the Northern Army. Now Li Hongchao, deputy commander of the Jingzhou Navy, is leading his troops to pursue us. In front, he is facing the Navy of the Northern Army. General Ji Wuliang has no way out in the back, and has no way out, so he can only surrender to the Navy of the Northern Army. I was ordered to come to negotiate the surrender, but I didn't expect to meet General Cao here!" Zhang Yujie smiled, "This is fine! We are saved!"

Cao Xinyu sneered, "It may not be very good? Ji family, Ji Wuliang, it turns out that you have today too? 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 filled with panic. Cao Xinyu was excluded by the Ji family and could not gain a foothold among the Jingzhou Navy, so he had to run away with hatred.

Cao Xinyu was filled with pleasure, but Ma You didn't think so. For him, this was a gift from God. No matter how Ji Wuliang's past was or how good his character was, the twenty five-masted warships he led were real, not only large warships, but also nearly a hundred auxiliary warships of various types. That was not something that the Navy of the Navy of the North Army was short of. You should know that the huge amount of money spent in order to purchase these warships of the Navy of the North Army now had caused endless quarrels within the North Army. If it weren't for the support of the Governor, the Navy of the North Army would not have expanded to this point. From my cousin, Ma You knew more or less about the dispute over water and land within the Governor's Office of the North Army.

Ma Youren said lightly. If it weren't for the strong support of the cousin of the Director of the Finance and Finance Department and the Governor, I would have been afraid that the Navy of the Northern Army would have only some small boats floating on the river now!

Twenty five-masted warships, the horse lover almost drooled.

"General Zhang, please go into the cabin to discuss in detail!" He took Zhang Yujie's hand, "General Ji Wuliang abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, we are extremely welcome!"

After entering the cabin, the guest and the host and the guest were sitting down. Seeing that twenty warships were at their fingertips, Ma You seemed extremely enthusiastic and ordered tea to serve, please sit, please sit, please sit. That enthusiasm made Cao Xinyu roll his eyes, but Ma You was the commander of the navy and his direct subordinate. Cao Xinyu still knew the importance of this. Although Ma You handed over the command of the fleet to him, it was to rely on his own expertise, and in the system of the Northern Army, the division between the upper and lower levels was extremely strict. If he openly challenged Ma You's authority, then his good days in the Northern Army Navy would not be too long.

Sitting on the side, lowered her eyebrows, without saying a word.

Zhang Yujie looked at him with some concern. He knew more or less about the grudges of that year.

"Tell me, what are the requirements of General Ji Wuliang?" Ma You went straight to the point and surrendered with such a large fleet. It was natural to ask for some conditions.

"Our fleet cannot be dispersed, the soldiers cannot be dispersed, and the command power cannot be deprived. Under this premise, we are willing to focus on 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 that they surrender and the army will be reorganized. This is a common sense problem! I think he has no sincerity at all!"

Ma You raised his hand and waved it, "General Cao, don't be upset!" He turned to look at Zhang Yujie, "What else?"

"No more!" Zhang Yujie spread his hands. "This is our condition. General Ji Wuliang is very clear. Now we are desperate and are not qualified to propose more conditions!"

"Hehe, this is enough with this condition. Ji Wuliang still wants to move the Jingzhou Navy to our Northern Army Navy?" Cao Xinyu sneered.

"Old Cao!" Ma You stared at him dissatisfiedly.

"General Zhang, for now, General Ji Wuliang's request is not too much. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. General Ji wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which is very welcome, but I don't need to hide it. What you said is just your own words, and we have not proved it, so we have to be careful of one thing. Do you set a trap to murder us? I think General Zhang can understand this, right?" said Ma You.

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

"I think so too, so please tell General Ji after you go back that I will report to General Ji's news that General Ji abandoned the secret and turned to the light for eight hundred miles, and I will also list the conditions attached to General Ji. As for whether he can agree, I don't finalize it! The governor nodded, General Zhang can understand this too!"

"Understand understand!" Zhang Yujie nodded repeatedly.

"But before this, we are not without a chance to cooperate!" Ma You stood up with a smile and pointed to the direction of Jingzhou. "As you said, Li Hongchao, deputy commander of the Jingzhou Navy, has led his army to attack. Then, before the governor's reply arrives, we can cooperate to destroy this enemy first. This can be regarded as General Ji's letter of surrender!"

"What does General Ma mean?"

"General Zhang is a veteran of the water and an experienced general. When I can understand what I mean, the battle can only be fought by General Ji at the beginning. We will join at the right time. I think Li Hongchao never expected us to be on the side. Of course, I have chosen the battlefield for General Ji!" Ma You pulled the map and pointed it out, "It's here to start a war with the other party, and we will come here, and it only takes half an hour to get to the battlefield from here!"
