After giving the order, Kudo Naoto looked away and his tone became gloomy.
"Before that, we have one more thing to finish."
The subordinates around me felt confused and said, "Please tell me, General, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Catch all the traitors and spies in Yamato and kill them all."
Everyone was startled and quickly remembered this.
When he was on Shiryu Island, after learning that Shinya Iwagami, who was attacking the Kuhara Racecourse, had lost contact, Naoto Kudo judged that this was a surrender letter made by some generals to seek refuge with Kumotori.
At that time, he was preparing to sharpen his sword, but later he kept fighting and guarding against storms, and the whole army was extremely busy, so the matter was postponed again and again.
Now another major operation is about to be launched, and these worms in the Yamato nation must be sorted out first.
Otherwise, if Yun Chuiren gets the news, he will be prepared in advance. Ishikawa Taki would have died silently during the landing, just like Shinya Iwagami before him, without making any waves.
"Yes!" Everyone loudly accepted the order and left with murderous intent.
Kudo Naoto watched them leave and sighed silently.
If Shinya Iwagami had not failed, then all the war horses along the coast of Yunzui would have been lost.
Without these forces that can quickly maneuver, Ishikawa Taki would have one of the biggest obstacles when it comes to landing and occupying...
It's a pity that God did not fulfill his wish.
Thinking of this, Kudo Naoto hated those traitors and traitors even more.
We must catch them and kill them all!
Soon, the sound of weapons fighting could be heard from time to time across the entire east coast of Baekje.
"What are you going to do..."
"Absurd. I hate Yun Chuiren the most. Where is General Jiutang? I was wronged."
ah!

Beihai Customs.
Emperor Changxing strictly ordered the Xingluo Army to enter Baekje on July 15th. It was already early August, so Wei Junqian and others had already crossed the border.
However, landslides and post roads collapsed along the way, and the legion's progress was slow. There was nothing they could do about it.
As for Wei Junqian, he said he wanted to go north, but he didn't want to leave immediately. At least he had to arrange various affairs.
Report!
"General, news from Jinlongtan."
Wei Junqian put down the newspaper in his hand, took it for a look, and quickly turned to the map.
When Shinya Iwagami made a sneak attack on Jiuhara Racecourse, knowing that he could not escape, he ordered dozens of people to sneak into the sea and hide, hoping that Yun Chuiren would retreat before waiting for an opportunity to continue the mission or escape.
Although the fox is cunning, it is useless once it encounters an experienced hunter.
Mo Canghai spent most of his time guarding the coastal counties and had been prepared for such a move.
After killing the landing enemies, he arranged for his men to guard the area around the rocky beach, including on the sea surface, and continued to guard it for half a month. In the end, the dozens of fish that slipped through the net were captured one by one.
Under severe torture, someone finally uttered something with unclear meaning.
They are just outposts, there is follow-up.
Wei Junqian looked at the message from Lu Yulong thoughtfully and tapped the map heavily.
"Japanese pirates are very likely to have a foothold somewhere in our East China Sea, and they may move westward and land ashore at any time. Inform Mo Canghai to be prepared. Especially in areas suitable for large-scale attack and landing, people must be sent to keep an eye on them day and night."
"yes!"
No one was surprised.
The East China Sea of Yunchui is dotted with large and small islands and reefs, and pirates appear on them from time to time.
And many times, Japanese pirates and pirates can't tell each other apart at all.
"General, there are not many places in the East China Sea that can station so many Japanese warships. At least it is a fairly large island or island chain."
As they talked, everyone couldn't help but look towards the Sishan Islands, which is about 230 miles east of Jiuyuan County and Huayang County.
"It's what he brewed. It turns out those bastards are hiding here."
"What does Lu Fuhai do for food? The Sishan Islands and Pinghai County are only so far away, and they haven't found any enemies yet?"
…
Amid the commotion, someone looked at Wei Junqian, "General? What should we do?"
Wei Junqian said nothing, but took a ruler to measure the distance between places.
The military advisors understood what he meant at a glance and quickly helped mark it.
"General, our ships haven't been built yet, so we can only take the land route. If Jiuyuan or Huayang County encounters an enemy and rushes to support them urgently, it will take at least half a month."
As he spoke, the military advisor frowned.
This is still the best case scenario.
It's already autumn now, and it will almost start to snow in a while. I don’t know how long it will take to arrive.
Snap.
Wei Junqian threw away the ruler in his hand and said, "Pass this general's order."
"First, the rear army stops collectively and sets up camp here on the border and is on standby."
"Second, immediately send ships south to conduct reconnaissance on the Sishan Islands."
"Third, hand over the built warship to Mo Canghai, and at the same time notify the East China Sea Barrier and several county lieutenants around Huayang County to prepare for the battle."
"yes!"
Wei Junqian sat down directly and began to write a memorial to Emperor Changxing.
"General, we haven't confirmed that there is indeed a large fleet of Japanese pirates in the Sishan Islands. Is it inappropriate to write a memorial so quickly? Your Majesty may read it..."
May have random thoughts.
"So what?" Wei Junqian didn't care.
This isn't the first time he's done this.
And the troops are expensive and fast.
If the memorial is wrong, the most he can do is get slapped at by Emperor Changxing. For generals like Wei Junqian who were far away at the border, it was basically insignificant.
But if they were afraid of being criticized by Emperor Changxing and failed to prevent Japanese pirates in time, it would be a disaster for coastal counties.

Golden Dragon Beach.
When the imperial envoy arrived covered in mud, the East China Sea Barrier had already pulled anchor and set sail.
Xiao Zheng rushed back from the capital of Baekje with a dark face after learning the news.
The little imperial envoy was not polite, "General Xiao, where is His Highness King Qi? Please let His Highness come out to receive the order quickly."
His work is time-limited.
After being delayed by the violent storm for so long, the little imperial envoy's heart grew colder as he counted the days.
He shuddered when he thought about returning to Star City in the future.
"Back to the imperial envoy," Xiao Zheng forced out a sentence, "His Royal Highness King Qi is temporarily missing."
"Gone? What do you mean?" The little imperial envoy was confused.
Xiao Zheng grew up in Xingji City, and Yun Chuiyu spoke very clearly.
The little imperial envoy could understand every word he said, but when they were put together, he had no idea what they meant.
cough.
Xiao Zheng also knew that this was unbelievable, so he had no choice but to speak again, "His Highness is temporarily missing."
"But we have asked the King of Baekje to help search. I believe there will be good news soon."
Bang.
The little imperial envoy finally reacted and immediately fell under the table.
"Sir? Are you okay?" Xiao Zheng hurriedly came over to help him up.
"What's going on?" The young imperial envoy's face was full of disbelief, "The prince's rich body is protected by the army, how could he disappear?"
Xiao Zheng had no choice but to choose something to say, which made the imperial envoy burst into tears.
He turned around and grabbed Xiao Zheng's arm with one hand, "General Xiao, Uncle Xiao, I beg you to find Prince Qi as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
Otherwise, his job and even his life will be in danger.
well!
Xiao Zheng sighed secretly, "Don't worry, Imperial Envoy, we will find the prince as soon as possible."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
After leaving the military camp, Xiao Zheng looked back with a gloomy face.
If such a bad thing happened, not only the imperial envoy, but also he could not escape responsibility.
And he came out to fight just to keep the lintel of Zhongyongbo's mansion. If Chen Xiuzhu really has three advantages and two disadvantages, there is probably no hope.
First latest.
