In Kyoto, in a very luxurious big house, more than a dozen people were sitting together, and these dozen people were divided into three parts, namely the Yamana clan of the main family, the Sasaki clan, and finally the Kira clan!
There was Japanese hot tea in front of them, but no one drank it. I don't know if it tasted bad or they were not in the mood to enjoy the tea. Everyone looked gloomy and no one spoke!
After a long time, a servant came to Yamana Taro and said, "General, everyone is here!"
After Yamana Taro heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at the other two generals. The person coming from the Kira family was Harumasa Kira, but the person coming from the Sasaki family was not the main family, but a young man. This is Sasaki Nomura’s son, Sasaki Masaken!
"Japan is facing a life and death issue at the moment. Why did the Sasaki family only send one young man? Is it possible that no one from the Sasaki family has gone to fight?" Kira Harumasa saw this young man and couldn't help but show ridicule on his face!
Behind Sasaki Masaki squatted three ninjas in black. These three ninjas were covered in black clothes. They wore black turbans on their heads and black veils on their faces. They carried samurai swords on their backs and slung on their legs. Biao Nang looks mysterious and dangerous, but in front of the other two tribes, it seems to have no effect at all!
Hearing this, Masaki Sasaki smiled slightly, without any angry expression on his face, "My father was ill some time ago, so he sent me here this time. You two can rest assured that my words can completely represent my people!"
"This time the Qilin Guards of the Ming Dynasty are coming fiercely. I have already received news that they have captured Ijuyuan, Fangjin, and even Ogao and Taiping Temple. If they go at this rate, they will reach Kyoto in less than half a month! "
"I have sent 20,000 soldiers, but unfortunately they have all been wiped out, and the opponent did not suffer any actual damage. This shows that this Ming Qilin Guard is different from ordinary soldiers!" Yamanatarou said with a serious face.
"How many troops did Ming Dynasty send this time?" Kira Harumasa asked.
"According to my people's investigation, there are at least 70,000 people now, and more than half of them are Qilin Guards!"
"Seventy thousand?" Masaru Sasaki frowned after finishing speaking!
At this moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared outside the yard, and then knelt outside the door, "Report to the general, the Ming army captured Fukuoka last night, and now the docks and factories have been completely controlled by them!"
"What?" When everyone heard this result, they all had surprised looks on their faces.
"They are marching much faster than we thought!" Sasaki Masaken said.
"And I heard that when they came to our country this time, the leader was not the Kirin Guards coach Zhao Xuanyi. Besides him, there was another person with a very prominent status!" Yamanataro said.
"Who is it?" Kira Haru asked hurriedly.
"Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Wenyu!"
"Prince? Is he actually going to fight in person?" Masaki Sasaki said with a smile.
"What's so funny about this?"
Sasaki Masaken put away his smile, "You two, since the Ming Dynasty has even sent their prince, we might as well follow their Central Plains people's strategy and capture the thief first!"
"You mean to capture the prince directly and ask them to withdraw their troops?" Yamana Taro asked.
"Not only that, we have to make them compensate us for the damage they caused to us!"
"Your idea is great, but how can it be done? The opponent has tens of thousands of Qilin Guards, and their combat power cannot be underestimated!"
"It depends on our tacit understanding! So...?"
Before Sasaki Masaru finished speaking, he saw a black figure appear outside the room again: "Report to the general, a letter has been sent from Fukuoka!"
"Letter? Whose is it?" Yamana Taro asked.
"The signature is Zhao Xuanyi!"
"Zhao Xuanyi? Bring it here!"
"yes!"
Yamana Taro opened the letter and saw that it was written in Japanese characters. It was very simple. After reading it, Yamana Taro frowned slightly and then gave Sasaki Masaru, "This letter should be for you!"
"
"Me?" Masaru Sasaki thought to himself. Zhao Xuanyi and I have never met, so why would you write to me? After taking the letter, he read it carefully. After reading it, Masaki Sasaki looked very ugly!
"What did the other party say?" Kira Harumasa asked.
"If we don't send Yamamoto's family members over, they will massacre an entire city in one day!" Sasaki Masaken said.
"Yamamoto Yu? Isn't that your ninja? Besides, didn't he die last year?"
"What Zhao Xuanyi wants is his family!"
"Is it possible that they still have personal vendettas?"
"Whether it's a personal grudge or a public grudge! We can't hand it over! Yamamoto Xiong worked hard for our Japanese for so many years and died in the hands of this Zhao Xuanyi. His body was still hung on the city gate and exposed in the wilderness! How can I do it now? Send his family over and let him insult you?" Sasaki Masaken said reluctantly.
"But if you don't send them, they will massacre a city in one day, and not just a few people will die by then!" Yamana Taro said.
Sasaki Masake didn't speak, lowered his head in thought, and Kira Harumasa on the side saw it, and smiled secretly in his heart, thinking to himself, let's see who of you can convince whom! Sasaki Masake's refusal to hand over Yamamoto's family is nothing more than establishing a majestic image for himself. Only by protecting Yamamoto's family will the ninjas of the Sasaki family be willing to sacrifice their lives!
And Zhao Xuanyi said that he would slaughter a city a day if he didn't give people away. This basically had nothing to do with Sasaki Masaken. The Ming army was located south of Kyoto. Even if they massacred the city, they were still the people of Yamana Taro, so Sasaki Masaken was the only one who didn't give it away. Yamana There is nothing Taro can do!
etc! Kira Harumasa suddenly looked at Sasaki Masake, his eyes filled with disbelief. Could this guy have done this on purpose? For many years, Zhongyuan has been advocating for He Tan, and maybe this matter will eventually end with He Tan!
After the discussion was over, the three Japanese families were still competing for interests. Sasaki Masaken seemed to be protecting the orphans of the deceased, but at the same time he pushed Yamana Taro in front of Zhao Xuanyi. As long as he did not let him go, Zhao Xuanyi would continue to massacre. , so that you can easily dismantle Yamana Taro’s power!
Seeing this, Kira Harumasa secretly thought in his heart that the Sasaki family has cultivated such a powerful young master. It should not be underestimated. What will Yamana Taro do next?
Yamana Taro turned to look at Kira Harumasa, "What do you think of this matter?"
Kira Harumasa laughed loudly after hearing this, "General, you have found the wrong person, right? Yamamoto Yu's family is not in my hands, how can I be the master? Everything depends on the attitude of the Sasaki clan!"
After Yamana Taro heard this, his heart sank, and he thought, is Kira Harumasa planning to watch the fire from the other side? He probably also saw Sasaki Masaken's plan, but if he wanted to benefit from it, he would just do nothing, let himself be massacred by Zhao Xuanyi's Qilin Guards, and eventually lose all power. In the end, he would be the fastest in boasting , the beneficiaries are these two people!
At this moment, Sasaki Masake and Kira Harumasa were like two tigers. They were standing on the road to the end. They refused to give way if they wanted to pass by. Instead, they left themselves to be bitten by the Ming tigers. Yamana Taro felt very sad in his heart. Angry, but in front of these two big families, there is nothing you can do!
Sasaki Masaken turned to look at Kira Harumasa, and saw this old guy stroking his beard and drinking hot tea. He could tell that this old guy seemed to have seen through his plan. Although he helped him, There is absolutely no way he can become his ally. This guy is far more dangerous than Yamana Taro! You need to handle it carefully!
In Fukuoka City, Sun Yan, Su Xiaoding and others were the last to arrive. A team of more than 70,000 people gathered in the city. Except for one main street, all other houses, streets and factories had been occupied, and people were already living in the houses. It was full of people, and those who came later had no choice but to pitch their tents in a factory or in a leeward place!
Tang Tianli saw Sun Yan coming and greeted him warmly. The two were very happy to see each other, "You are here, hurry up, hurry up, the fresh fish and meat are ready for you, just waiting for you to come!" Kanshu La
Sun Yan looked at Tang Tianli, "You've been doing well these days. Look at your face. You've become fat."
! "
"It's good to eat by the Duke's side! The Duke is partial!" Su Xiaoding shouted loudly.
Tang Tianli laughed loudly after hearing this, "You can't blame the Duke, after all, the Duke is judged by ability!"
"Go away!" Sun Yan and Su Xiaoding gave Tang Tianli a word!
Several people walked into Tang Tianli's residence. After entering the room, they saw four dishes on the table, one boiled shrimp, one braised fish, one fried crab, and finally vegetable soup! And there are three jars of wine beside the table!
When Sun Yan and Su Xiaoding saw the wine, they hurried over, opened the lid and took a sip. "Oh, you can! Where did you get this?" Sun Yan asked.
"This is a reward from the Duke of China. He said it was specially given to you for your hard work!" Tang Tianli said.
"Your Majesty, it's interesting to know that we have been smelling this smell for more than a month!" Su Xiaoding said with a smile.
"Come on, come on, sit down and eat and chat!" Tang Tianli acted like a master, and all three of them sat down. "Did you two discover anything along the way?"
Su Xiaoding shook her head, "I didn't find anything. I just did it when I passed by a small village!"
"I don't even have a village here. You've beaten me everywhere I've gone. Everywhere I go is covered with broken bricks and rubble. I can't even find a house with a leeward side. People are sleeping in tents along the way! "Sun Yan kept complaining!
"This shows that our frontline troops are fighting well! You still have so many complaints when I let you enjoy the happiness in the back!" Tang Tianli laughed loudly after saying this.
"Hey, do you see how he behaves like a villain? I saw he fought several victorious battles with the Duke, and he doesn't even know what his last name is!" Su Xiaoding said with a look of contempt.
"Who wants someone to be born from their own mother? We are all raised by our stepmothers, come and have a drink!" After Sun Yan finished speaking, the three of them raised the wine jar, touched it and drank happily!
"But I didn't expect that the Duke could find such a good place. There must be a lot of food stored here, right?" Su Xiaoding asked.
"There is a warehouse behind the pier over there. The various seafood in it are enough for us to eat for several months! Otherwise, we would say that the Duke has foresight!"
"Then let's repair here? No fight?" Sun Yan asked.
Tang Tianli shook his head, "I don't know! Maybe they are waiting for the Far Eastern Army!"
"Has the Far Eastern Army not arrived yet?"
"No! The Duke said it will take at least five days, but the Duke doesn't know what he is afraid of these days. He has no intention of attacking at all. Instead, he asked Nangong Che to set up traps outside the town, and also asked the Qilin Guards to step up patrols. It seems that What are you defending, I don’t understand!”
Su Xiaoding touched her chin, "We have never been able to guess the Duke's plans. Whatever he tells us to do, come on, come on, get drunk today if you have wine, do it!"
"Fuck!" The three of them were chatting and drinking!
Zhao Xuanyi is in his room at the moment, with a map in front of him and looking at it carefully. His eyes are very complicated and his face is very serious. It seems that there are thousands of troops on the map at this moment, and he is playing chess with the enemy!
Li Hanyan opened the door and walked in. She saw Zhao Xuanyi sitting there alone, looking at a map, and walked over slowly, "Husband, what are you looking at?"
Li Hanyan's voice interrupted Zhao Xuanyi's thoughts, and he slowly raised his head, "Where are you going?"
"Take people to patrol outside the city. Su Xiaoding and Sun Yan have all returned to the team. Now all our troops are in the city!"
"very good!"
Li Hanyan sat next to Zhao Xuanyi: "Husband, where should we fight next?"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the map, then shook his head, "Don't be anxious, there is no need to attack now, we must defend the city now!"
"Defend the city?"
