"General Liu!" Cheng Yuanzhi also saluted Liu Shucheng, "Xiao Bai... His Majesty sent someone to command us to come to the naval barracks here, saying that this sea battle is the main focus, so we are here to discuss the matter of eliminating Dongyi. We were impatient, so we didn’t send someone to inform in advance, we just came ourselves."
Cai Ziyuan added, "His Majesty is still at the fishing village and hasn’t returned, he only sent someone to deliver the message, saying he will come directly later, we are here on orders, please forgive us for any presumptuousness, Generals."
Liu Hong nodded repeatedly, "We’re all family, there’s no such thing as presumptuousness! We’ve been waiting for His Majesty to come, Mr. Cai, please, Generals, please!"
The burly Cheng Yuanzhi led Cheng Yuanzhi, Liu Pinggao, Shen Liangyu, and the others into the tent, beginning to discuss the combat strategy.
Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng walked at the back, Lu Yuanpeng couldn’t help but stretch his neck to look outside, already impatient to see the Bai family elder sister.
During this time, Lu Yuanpeng has lost a lot of weight, worried about his own sister Lu Fenglang. He’s tried repeatedly to go out to sea to Dongyi to find Lu Fenglang but was restrained by Mr. Cai.
Now that the Bai family elder sister has reached the coast, it seems the time to fight is near, he intends to seek permission from the Bai family elder sister, he must lead a small team to depart first to Dongyi Kingdom to find his own sister.
Inside the tent, the naval commanders spoke about the feasible battle strategy to the generals of Bai family army and Zhou army, unexpectedly to General Liu Shucheng, Cheng Yuanzhi didn’t dictate, rather said... this is a sea battle, everything should be based on the naval commanders’ strategy.
"The main issue is that Zhou army and Bai family army soldiers, once on the ship, might just be like me, vomiting until disoriented, making fighting very difficult!" Cheng Yuanzhi frowned, "In recent days, Mr. Cai tried to select physically strong Bai family army soldiers to test on the ship... about seven out of ten can endure the rocking of the waves! Therefore... if we indeed lead troops to land on Dongyi Kingdom territory, we must select the people carefully, otherwise, they will become a burden!"
Since it’s about eliminating Dongyi, naturally we must land on the Dongyi Kingdom territory, at sea the navy certainly dominates, but on Dongyi territory, Bai family army and Zhou army will prevail.
What’s more frustrating for Cheng Yuanzhi is that he’s actually the remaining three out of ten, a dragon on land becomes a worm at sea.
"But Dongyi is a small country, with the Huying Army, as long as we can land on Dongyi territory, wiping out the nation is not a problem!" Cai Ziyuan finished and added, "However, the naval defense maps of Dongyi Kingdom within the navy are all outdated from years ago, now they will surely be adjusted, if we can have the most detailed current defense maps of Dongyi, that would be ideal."
The naval commanders knew this too, obtaining defense maps of one or two towns could be attempted, but requesting the entire Dongyi defense maps, with the battle imminent and time so short, it’s somewhat strenuous.
Bai Jinzhi didn’t speak in detail when she arrived at the Bai family army camp today, but Cai Ziyuan discerned... when Bai Qingyan left, she was accompanied by Xiao Ruohai, Xiao Ruojiang, and Shen Qingzhu, and also Chen Qingsheng!
Cai Ziyuan knows the strength of brothers Xiao Ruohai and Xiao Ruojiang, because later Cai Ziyuan joined the Bai family, and... Chen Qingsheng had been to Dongyi Kingdom, he knows a bit.
Bai Qingyan always fights well-prepared battles, surely has all this in mind.
Yet Cai Ziyuan didn’t mention this while the generals were frowning, instead sipping tea, thinking to wait until Bai Qingyan arrives and then speak.
After waiting for over half an hour, Bai Qingyan finally arrived at the military camp.
