Under the comfort of everyone, Yamazaki Yoichi's face looked better. After a moment, he seemed to remember something, turned to look at Watanabe Hinata, and asked: "How long will it take for the red tide to arrive? "
"According to Lord Asai, according to the previously arranged plan, it will take about five days for the red tide to reach the only way for the Zhou army to return to Datian Pass. During this period, we all need to keep an eye on this Zhou army!" Watanabe Hina Tai recalled it for a moment, and then said helplessly:
"In addition, Lord Asai also asked us about Ye Mingsheng's position in Zhou's army and whether that thing is on his body!"
"snort!"
Yamazaki Yoichi groaned and said bitterly: "Asai Souji, this bastard, how does he want me to confirm?"
"I only have seven people. Does he want to break into my Zhou army's camp to see if that thing is on Ye Mingsheng?"
Regarding the leader's complaints, the seven Higashishima ronin, including Watanabe Hinata, kept silent. Things between the leaders were not something ordinary Ashigaru ronin like them could discuss.
After cursing for a while and venting his grievances, Yamazaki Yoichi gradually regained his senses. He thought for a while and continued to ask Hina Watanabe: "Is there any way to contact the Red Tide and let them speed up?" Speed up and ambush the Zhou army in King Lu Town in advance?"
Watanabe Hinata put on a bitter face, shook his head and said helplessly: "Chief, you know that in order to ensure the safety of the Red Tide, the organization stipulates that there can only be a single line of contact between the Red Tide and us. Come contact us, we can’t contact them..."
Yamazaki Yoichi shook his head. He couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only say helplessly: "Hinata, you will come to watch the night first, and the others will take turns to take over. Everyone will be more alert for half an hour and keep an eye on the city. movements!”
"Hi!"
The seven East Island Ronin present said in unison:
···············

Early the next morning, Ye Mingsheng, who had had a good night's sleep in the county government office, just got up and before he had time to wash up, he heard Ye Tie's report outside the door.
"Master, Mr. Xu Hou has sent a messenger to give you important military orders!"
Hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Although he didn't know why Xu Zhaojie issued military orders to him again at this time, it was obviously not a good idea for him to send military orders to him at this time. matter.
"Son of a bitch!"
Cursing secretly in his heart, Ye Mingsheng straightened his clothes a little, walked out of the door, and took the military order given to him by Xu Zhaojie from the veteran soldier.
Opening the military order and looking at Xu Zhaojie's familiar handwriting on it, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but tighten his hands holding the military order, and his breathing became slightly heavier...
There were not many words in the military order. Ye Mingsheng glanced at it and read all the contents above. However, it took him nearly a minute to do his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He put down the general order and looked at the messenger in front of him. He asked, "Where are you from?"
The young messenger couldn't understand Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, so he lowered his head and replied honestly: "Tell me, Commander, the young one is from Wujiagou, Commander Cai Pengbo."
Hearing the name "Cai Pengbo" from the messenger's mouth, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Cai Pengbo and his three thousand people are stationed in Wujiagou?"
"Yes! We, Mr. Cai, have been ordered to suppress the bandits!" the ordering soldier said calmly:
As the messenger's voice fell, Ye Mingsheng's murderous intention towards him disappeared. He sighed secretly in his heart, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand, and the messenger immediately retreated.
"boom!"
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he couldn't help but feel the anger in his heart. Ye Mingsheng punched the desk hard and said in a low voice:
"Xu Zhaojie, you little thief bullied me too much!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng so angry, Ye Tie, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment, but still asked Ye Mingsheng: "Master, has something happened?"
Ye Mingsheng, who lowered his head, did not speak, but handed the general order to Ye Tie.
Ye Tie, who received the military order, glanced at the content above, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. After hesitating for a moment, he considered his words and said, "Master, fifteen days is not a lot of time, but with our current march, With the speed, we can still reach Datian Pass on time!"
Seeing that Ye Tie did not realize the dangers in this military order, Ye Mingsheng did not blame him. He just shook his head and then ordered to him: "Inform the ministries and prepare to set off!"
"Yes!" Seeing that his young master was unwilling to say more, Ye Tie didn't talk much and went down to do things.
An hour later, after taking the supplies provided by the magistrate of Fengxi County, Ye Mingsheng led his troops to leave Fengxi County and continue to move towards Dazhou.
After walking through about two flat wilderness, a few hills began to appear sporadically, so the soldiers' marching speed naturally slowed down.
Realizing this, Ye Mingsheng, with a serious expression, looked around every valley. According to the map, his current location should have begun to approach the outskirts of the Huishan area... ·
Xu Zhaojie requested in the military order that he arrive at Datian Pass from Liujing in Liaoyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty within fifteen days. If he failed to do so, he would be prosecuted by military law.
Ye Tie is right. Fifteen days to reach Datian Pass is not much for their team, but to be honest, it is not a lot. Even if they speed up a little now, they can definitely arrive one or two days earlier. In 3 days, we arrived at Datian Pass.
However, the key to the problem is not time, but the marching route. If they want to reach Datian Pass within fifteen days, Ye Mingsheng's troops must go straight through the most dangerous Huishan area, where bandits are everywhere. There cannot be any detours. Once there are detours, it will be impossible for him to lead his troops to reach Datian Pass within fifteen days.
Therefore, although Xu Zhaojie did not mention Huishan a word in the military order, the subtext of his military order actually asked Ye Mingsheng to pass through Huishan.
There is no doubt that the reason why Xu Zhaojie did this must be that he had arranged something in Huishan, digging a hole and waiting for Ye Mingsheng to jump in!
After understanding Xu Zhaojie's sinister nature, Ye Mingsheng's first reaction was not only to scold Xu Zhaojie and his eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart, but also to kill the ordering soldiers and pretend that he had not received the military order!
