Li Tianbao's face suddenly turned red after listening to Wu Nian's words. He was both excited and ashamed. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

In his heart, he once again scolded Zhang Danian half to death.

Seeing his embarrassment, Wu Nian stood up and walked to the door. He told the soldier beside the door: "Go and make tea."

"Yes." The soldier responded.

Wu Nian turned around and went back to the main seat to sit down, picked up the scroll on the side and read it.

Seeing this, Li Tianbao exhaled a long breath and calmed down a little. Soon after, the soldiers came in from outside carrying two cups of tea and put them down respectively.

Li Tianbao had never drank tea before, but after he became wealthy, he learned how to drink it. He picked up the teacup in a decent manner and drank in small sips.

After a cup of tea, Li Tianbao completely calmed down. He raised his head, cupped his fists and saluted Wu Nian: "General, I have two subordinates."

"One is named Liu Tianfang. He is from Guangchuan. He used to be a maritime merchant who traveled across the sea. He is very capable."

"One is named Qian Botao. He is from Yingqing Prefecture. He was originally a person who would vomit even on a boat. But he has strong adaptability and has grown up quickly. He is also very capable now."

"Liu Tianfang? Qian Botao?" Wu Nian thought for a moment and was somewhat impressed, but not very deep.

Appointments to Qianhu official positions require his approval.

"Okay. Just these two people. You and Isshin Matsudaira can go back after lunch. Leave all the Senhu warriors under these two people behind, but you can take the warship with you."

"When you return to Guangchuan Mansion, you can replenish the troops of two thousand households."

Wu Nian said cheerfully.

"Yes." When Li Tianbao heard that he could leave, he immediately stood up, clasped his fists and bent over, and left as if he was running away.

"Haha." After Wu Nian looked at it, he laughed and shook his head.

"Okay. We have the captain of the Yalu River Navy." Wu Nian bent down and took out a large, detailed map from a wooden box under the desk, and laid it on the desk.

Whether it is Huanglong Mansion or Goguryeo, he is bound to win.

The navy was built, of course, for Goguryeo.

Wu Nian's eyes fell on the land of Goguryeo, and he was very keen. This land was really rich, and it could be a country of its own. In terms of population, depth, and various products, it was even higher than Liaodong.

"Haha." Wu Nian smiled slightly, his eyes burning.

............

After Li Tianbao left the study, he immediately returned to the room where he stayed last night. He first told Isshin Matsudaira and left after lunch.

Then he found Zhang Danian sitting in his bedroom drinking tea.

"Sir, how are you?" Zhang Danian was also very concerned about this matter, put down the tea cup, stood up and asked.

"How's it going? I was almost killed by you. You have such a bright mind, you should use it more against the enemy in the future."

Li Tianbao didn't scold Zhang Danian, he just said angrily. Then he sat down and told Zhang Danian everything.

"The king is indeed suspicious. But the general will never doubt us." At the end, Li Tianbao sighed with emotion, with a look of emotion on his face.

After Zhang Danian heard this, he was dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen? This time, I did something bad with good intentions.

Soon it was time for lunch. After Isshin Matsudaira, Li Tianbao and others had lunch, they galloped eastward, leaving Yangwucheng and heading for the Yalu River.

When someone leaves, of course someone comes.

morning.

In the city.

In the backyard of a temporary residence of General Fu Han, Wu Nian was wearing a narrow-sleeved summer coat, holding a spear, and was practicing his spear skills.

Although he doesn't practice spearing often, he is still full of momentum when dancing, showing a very high level.

"General Liu Tianfang and Qian Botao have arrived and are waiting in the front yard." A soldier walked in from outside and bent down to report.

"It's finally here. They were all anxious to wait." Wu Nian's eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped practicing. He handed the spear to the soldiers at the side, took a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, and walked out.

He said to the soldiers: "Please come to the main room in the backyard."

"yes."

The soldier responded and quickly went down.

"Let someone make tea." Wu Nian asked another soldier, put down his handkerchief, and walked towards the main room.

Not long after he sat down, he heard the sound of footsteps. Then a soldier led the two people in. The two men immediately bent down and saluted: "Liu Tianfang (Qian Botao) pays homage to the general."

"Without ceremony, sit down." Wu Nian immediately raised his hand and gestured for them to sit down in a friendly manner. At this time, the soldiers came in carrying three cups of hot tea.

When Wu Nian saw this, he was not in a hurry to talk to them. He picked up the tea cup and drank tea, while taking a look at the two of them.

Both of them are very dark, with rough skin, showing the weather-beaten weather of sailors at sea. Both have strong bodies. They have no advantages or disadvantages.

Among the generals, he is average in length.

"You two." Wu Nian put down the tea cup, raised his head and called out.

Liu Tianfang and Qian Botao had been paying attention to Wu Nian's actions and immediately put down their tea cups with respectful expressions.

"Colonel Li must have revealed something to you, but he will definitely not guarantee you." Wu Nian smiled and said, "Now, I will tell you officially."

"I want to appoint you as captains of the Yalu River Navy. Each of you will command tens of thousands of people. They will specialize in running rampant in the Yalu River to deal with the Goguryeo Navy."

"Leading troops, recruiting troops, I don't need to talk about these most basic things."

"Do you have any ideas on how to deal with the Goguryeo navy?"

Having said this, Wu Nian's expression became serious and his eyes were very expectant.

For horse and infantry battles, you have the final say. For water battles, you have to ask the experts.

Liu Tianfang and Qian Botao were indeed mentally prepared, but after receiving Wu Nian's confirmation, they were still ecstatic. Even though the promotion from Qianhu to Xiaowei was just one step.

But it's a big step.

From an ordinary general to a general, how many lieutenants are there under the entire Fuhan General Mansion?

At present, there are eight garrison houses in the four prefectures, and the official position is not a school captain.

The two of them came for an interview, so they were naturally prepared.

"Excuse me for being rude. General, do you have a map?" Liu Tianfang glanced at Qian Botao, and when he saw Qian Botao nodded lightly, he clasped his hands and said.

"Come here. Get the map of the Yalu River." Wu Nian immediately raised his head and said to the soldiers outside the door.

"Yes." A soldier on the right side of the door responded and immediately turned around and went down. Soon after, two soldiers came in carrying a black desk with a topographic map spread on the table.

Wu Nian, Liu Tianfang, and Qian Botao stood up and stood around the desk. Liu Tianfang said: "General, the Goguryeo navy is very powerful. With all due respect, don't say that we don't have even one Wanhu navy. Even if there are two

It is extremely difficult for the elite Ten Thousand Houses Navy to defeat the Goguryeo Navy head-on."
