Baekje East Coast, Gudang Campground
Report!
One of the guards broke in in despair, which attracted Naoto Kudo's sideways glance.
Seeing that he was a confidant, he was very upset.
"After following this general for so long, I am still always surprised. Is the sky falling?"
"General," the young guard's face was as pale as snow. He waved the flyer in his hand, "Xing... Xing... Xingluo Legion just distributed it."
snort.
Kudo Naoto snorted disdainfully.
"Is it Liang Ru's fault again?"
"Didn't I tell you to ignore the rumors he created?"
The little guard ignored the attack's attitude and stubbornly held up the flyer in his hand.
"General, why don't you take a look first?"
When he said this, there was a hint of crying and even despair in his voice.
Kudo Naoto's face straightened, and he hesitantly accepted it.
There is very little content on the flyer.
Just one sentence.
"The Yunchui Empire recaptured the Beiguan Pass, and Genjing Masato was captured without a fight."
Hum.
Kudo Naoto sneered twice and continued to look down.
Below is a tiger seal with four large characters painted on it.
"Masato Nei"!
Kudo Naoto choked for breath, and then became furious.
"Clear the account," he said, "Do you think the general has nothing to do? Show this unverified thing to the general."
The little guard said nothing, but bowed his head deeply.
When Kudo Naoto saw this, his heart suddenly fell.
This personal guard has been with him for a long time, so he knows what to do and what not to do.
"Has the seal... been verified?" Kudo Naoto couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth.
"General," the young guard finally raised his head and said with red eyes, "The military advisors have tested it no less than five times and are sure it is General Genjing's tiger seal."
boom.
Kudo Naoto's knees loosened and he fell heavily back into his seat.
He soon came to his senses.
"Quick! Collect these leaflets immediately, don't leave any behind."
"General," the young guard's face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground.
"My subordinates were incompetent and discovered it too late. The contents of the flyer had already spread..."
Now it is no longer possible to pay.
"What?"
Kudo Naoto's face suddenly lost all color.
Yunchui's land is vast, rich in resources and powerful, and all its neighboring countries yearn for it. Many countries even use Yunchui's characters and currency.
For example, Nanfeng, Baekje, and Yamato are all like this.
From the royal family to the common people, they are almost proud to be familiar with Yunchui calligraphy.
However, like the Yunchui soldiers, most of the Japanese pirates are illiterate. In addition, Kudo Naoto has purged traitors several times. Nowadays, few people can understand the Yunchui language or recognize the Yunchui characters.
And almost no one in Liang Rushi's battalion knew the Japanese language.
Therefore, as long as Kudo Naoto confiscated the leaflets and news they had spread in the past, the Japanese pirate soldiers would often not understand their meaning even if they had a copy.
But this time it was different.
No matter how illiterate they are, many people can still distinguish the names of our main generals.
Now, Masato Nei's tiger seal actually appeared on Xingluo's flyer.
What does this mean?
Even the weakest person will understand the meaning.
"That's all." Naoto Kudo waved his hand in frustration, "Get up. Have you found out the process of the Battle of Beihaiguan?"
Speaking of this, he was still a little confused as a monk.
Beiguan is not an ordinary city, but an important border town carefully built by the Yunchui Empire.
And Masato Nei was able to be entrusted with important tasks by Ishikawa Taki, and he was also a brave and strategic general.
The Starfall Army was certainly powerful, but under normal circumstances, Wei Junqian would not even be able to reach the top of the Beiguan Pass without attacking for a year and a half and leaving behind countless corpses of soldiers.
Now it’s been less than a month and it’s actually broken?
The little guard looked embarrassed.
"General, you know how many ghost thieves there are in Liang Ru. After General Yaye discovered these leaflets, he immediately sent a large number of people to search within forty miles of the camp, trying to capture a few alive for questioning. The result..."
As a result, not only did they not catch any Starfall soldiers, but many of them died. In the end, they could only run back in disgrace.
"That makes no sense."
Kudo Naoto was upset again and couldn't help but punch the table heavily.
I don’t know if he was scolding Xingluo people or Baye’s men.
"General," the young guard raised his head. He carefully looked at the general's face, "How about... we send a message to General Ukawa and ask all the navy to stay on the shore temporarily?"
snort.
Kudo Naoto could hear it clearly, and his face could not help but turn red and white.
If the Hun River to the west couldn't stop Wu Siyuan, then their group would still have a way out like Hai Dun.
As for the final fate of the Japanese pirate soldiers and people who stayed in Baekje, it has never been their concern.
When the young guard saw that the general had no objection, his voice immediately became much louder.
"General, as the saying goes, victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. There is no general who is always victorious."
"Xingluo is too cunning and vicious. The most disgusting thing is that they have the entire Baekje court and people standing behind them. Li Chengde can be said to want people and food."
"As for us? We are doing it alone and across the ocean."
"It can be said that from the beginning of the war, the strength of the enemy and ours was inherently unequal. It is understandable that the fight is not going smoothly now."
"Despite all the unfavorable conditions, the general still overcame all difficulties and successfully established a foothold on the east coast plain."
"This should be considered a huge victory. At least it will lay the foundation for the next conquest of Baekje."
"I believe His Majesty the Emperor will see this and will not blame the General."
Um.
Kudo Naoto's face softened slightly and he nodded reservedly.
"Write it down. When the army lands in Baekje, the first important thing will be to keep a close eye on the naval base at all costs."
"That's what the general said." The young guard was overjoyed and quickly motioned for others to take note of it.
"If we had a naval headquarters like the East China Sea Barrier, and could continuously produce warships and train soldiers, we wouldn't be in the current situation where we have no ships, no ships, no people, and no one..."
Kudo Naoto nodded, summed up many key points in a hurry, and asked his guards to write them down.
After a while, the little guard saw that the atmosphere was fine.
He hesitated for a moment and brought up the old matter again.
"General, what about the navy staying on the south bank..."
Kudo Naoto did not answer immediately, his eyes were fixed on Nei Masato's tiger seal.
After a while, he waved his hand.
"Go. Let Ukawa Taishi guard the south bank, and others must not act rashly."
"Yes!" The little guard ran away like a storm.
————
south bank.
Countless navy soldiers and sailors filed off their respective battleships like ants moving.
"General, the stupid Xingluo people have destroyed most of the docks. It will take some time for our brothers to finish them all."
Ukawa Taishi ignored it, but looked at the flyer in his hand in trance.
Kudo Naoto received the news that Beihaiguan was recaptured by Yun Chui, and he also saw the information.
"No," the military advisor next to him glanced at him and shouted in disbelief, "The Beihai Pass is over and Masato Nei is captured?"
hehe.
Ukawa Daishi smiled bitterly,
"What's so strange? Maybe it will be our turn next."
"Come here!" He turned his head and looked towards the sea. "All fleets gave up going to sea and returned to guard the shore. At the same time, make defensive preparations."
"General," a military advisor opened his eyes wide, "Where are the three food islands? If General Jiutang blames him..."
"Him?" Ukawa Taishi glanced towards the north indifferently, "Maybe even Kudo Naoto will appear in front of our navy in a while." (End of this chapter)
