The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Jinluan Hall, court meeting.

Zhao Qi looked straight at the officials in the palace, and all the courtiers also looked straight at him.

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other without saying a word.

Before the news of the battle came, they had no mind to do other things.

Therefore, at the court meeting, there was a situation of big eyes and small eyes.

In fact, it is not bad for them to be able to go to court, because many of them have already hung their official seals and resigned.

Under heavy pressure, not everyone can be dedicated to public service.

Zhao Qi looked at the crowd, rubbed his forehead, and looked at Liu Tian beside him.

Liu Tian understood and was about to stand up and announce his resignation immediately.

But at this moment, a guard appeared at the gate of the hall and reported:

"Your Majesty, Lord Lin, Governor of Jiangnan, has sent an urgent request of eight hundred miles."

Swish!
This sentence made Zhao Qi and the Manchu officials all look at him.

Seeing this, Liu Tian hurried to the front of the hall, took over the military information from the guards, and presented it to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi looked at him, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, both anticipation and hesitation.

Finally, he waved his hand and said:

"You read it."

Liu Tian's heart trembled, and as expected, he was still asked to read.

He is also afraid!

He stretched out a slightly trembling hand, opened the envelope, and pulled out the letter paper inside.

After unfolding the letter paper, he collected himself, looked at the words on it, and read slowly:
"My minister Lin Ruhai, I respectfully invite Shengan. Yesterday, my minister was ordered by His Majesty to join the governors of Ryukyu. However, my minister just arrived in Ryukyu, and the enemy army arrived. The number of enemy troops far exceeded my expectations. The military strength and warships are ten times that of ours."

hiss!
Hearing this, everyone gasped in unison.

With more than ten times the military strength and warships, how should we fight this battle?
Naval battles are no different than land battles. Many strategies and tactics can be used. Naval battles are a real head-to-head battle, and there is no room for cheating.

The gap between the two sides is ten times, which is already crushing.

The result of the battle is self-evident.

Sure enough, Liu Tian then read:

"Although the soldiers of our army fought desperately, they fought hard. However, in the end, they were outnumbered and retreated steadily. The shells, lead bullets, bows and arrows were all exhausted, and the warships were also severely damaged. The navy has no strength to fight any more!"

Ugh!
Hearing this, all the courtiers sighed for a long time. Although they had expected the ending, they still felt extremely distressed when they heard this.

In addition, they finally understood the reason why Jia Jue requested more tank ships for support:

The navy's warships are no longer capable of fighting!

Zhao Qi clenched his fists tightly. The disabled sailor meant that he could no longer block attacks from the sea.

The door of the big man has been opened!
"In order to preserve the vitality of the navy, I ordered the sailors to evacuate, and joined several governors in the rear to cover the evacuation of the sailors." Liu Tian continued to read.

This sentence caused many courtiers to have red eyes.

Although they were not there, they could imagine what a tragic scene it was.

Lin Ruhai and the others are going to exchange their lives for the lives of hundreds of thousands of sailors!
"It's a pity! It hurts!"

A few old courtiers looked up to the sky and sighed.

Zhao Qi took a deep breath, feeling sad, these are important officials of the imperial court, and they sacrificed like this.

The big man is in danger.

Liu Tian's heart also trembled. The tragic and oppressive atmosphere in the hall made him very uncomfortable. He hurriedly speeded up and continued to read:
"At this moment, there was a vision from the sky, and several white lights suddenly fell from the sky and fell into the enemy's vanguard camp. For a moment, the roaring and cracking sound shook the sky, and Weichen and others couldn't see it."

Originally, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely sad and depressed, but because of this sentence, it suddenly froze, and all the courtiers looked at Liu Tian with astonished eyes.

A vision from heaven?

What happened again?
Besides, why does this word sound so familiar?

Zhao Qi's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared closely at Liu Tian.

Liu Tian knew that there was no time to delay, so he hurriedly continued to read:
"After a while, the strong light dissipated, and Weichen finally opened his eyes, but what he saw was nothingness. The enemy's vanguard battalion's [-] warships disappeared without a trace."

what?
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, three thousand warships disappeared without a trace like this?

How can this be?what happened?
"Read it quickly!" Zhao Qi couldn't help urging.

"Wei Chen was extremely astonished and didn't know why. But at this moment, the sea water suddenly turned upside down, and a large ship emerged from the sea water." Liu Tian read hastily.

what! ?

Everyone exclaimed in unison, the big ship emerged from the sea?

How can this be?

If the boat sinks into the water, it is sunk, how can it emerge from the sea water?
This is obviously against common sense!
This time Liu Tian didn't need to be urged by Zhao Qi, and immediately read:
"Just when Weichen was extremely astonished, two flags were raised on the boat, one was a dragon, and the other was..."

After reading this, Liu Tian looked at the letter paper, but suddenly stopped, and his eyes widened.

"What's on the other side, read it quickly!" Zhao Qi was extremely anxious and couldn't help scolding.

Shocked, Liu Tian quickly said, "It's the word 'Jue'!"

Whoa!
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, but Zhao Qi got up suddenly.

They all mean what this represents.

This is the crown prince, Zhao Jue's ship!

"After the big ship raised its flag, the crown prince also appeared on the ship. That ship was the crown prince's ship, and those white lights just now were also the crown prince's means!" Liu Tian continued to read.

"Return to His Royal Highness!"

"It really is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Is this the 'help one or two' mentioned in the prince's family letter?"

"Saved 10 men from the Han navy and destroyed [-] enemy warships. Is this the crown prince's 'one or two'?"

All the courtiers were excited, and there was a light of surprise in their eyes.

"Hahahaha! Good! What a 'help one or two'!" Zhao Qi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Liu Tian looked at the crowd, and continued to read: "The crown prince ordered me to wait, and ordered me to retreat."

what?
This made everyone stunned again, what did Jia Jue want to do?Could it be that he intends to use his own strength to fight against the entire enemy coalition?
That's millions of people, thousands of warships!

"I want to dissuade you, but Your Highness doesn't allow it. I have no choice but to step aside. At this time, the enemy has also dispatched a thousand warships to deal with Your Highness. I thought that the prince would use the means of the talent, but , Wei Chen guessed wrong, the prince did not use such means."

After the words fell, the officials fell into silence.

Why is Jia Jue like this?

Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard Liu Tian say again:
"But at this moment, a vision descended from the sky."
