Lu Xuan looked at Saburo Matsushita's surrender and listened to Saburo Matsushita's words of begging for death. He shook his head and said: "I thought that because of how tough and pious you are, you will definitely be loyal to your Majesty the Emperor. Now it seems that piety and loyalty are nothing more than that. in this way."
Saburo Matsushita's cheeks twitched.
He looked at Lu Xuan, with deep fear in his eyes.
This man is a devil!
Too cruel!
His legs were broken, dripping with blood, and in great pain. The other party didn't even have the slightest bit of compassion, and even used some chili pepper salt water to make him miserable.
He is absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and is definitely the most loyal ninja in Japan, but the enemy is too cruel.
There was nothing he could do.
Matsushita Saburo opened his mouth to speak, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he simply shut up.
Lu Xuan continued: "Tell me, what is your identity, how many people are left here by Tokugawa Ieyasu? What are his plans next? Explain everything clearly."
Matsushita Saburo looked at Lu Xuan's cold eyes, shuddered, and said quickly: "My name is Matsushita Saburo. I am a ninja beside His Majesty the Emperor. I am responsible for assassinations."
"This time His Majesty the Emperor withdrew his troops and left behind ten ninjas headed by me."
"The purpose was to carry out the assassination plan."
Saburo Matsushita said: "In addition to our assassination, His Majesty the Emperor also arranged for people to stop you at sea after retreating. Once you cross the sea by boat, you will be besieged by the Japanese navy."
Lu Xuan roughly understood.
Tokugawa Ieyasu left these ten people, Matsushita Saburo, because he knew that something was not possible but he did it. They were treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
What if the assassination was successful?
This was Tokugawa Ieyasu's only remaining thought.
The battle at sea is also within the expected range. The sea is Tokugawa Ieyasu's line of defense. Tokugawa Ieyasu must use the navy to block Riku Gen's attack. And once the attack at sea is successful, and even Lu Xuan is defeated, there will be a chance to bury everyone at sea.
Lu Xuan asked again: "How many troops does Tokugawa Ieyasu have in Honshu?"
Matsushita Saburo grimaced, shook his head hurriedly, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know. I am just a ninja beside His Majesty the Emperor. I am only responsible for assassinations. I don't know anything about other things."
Lu Xuan's eyes were slightly cold and he threatened: "If you don't tell me honestly, I will only let you enjoy the torture just now."
"No!"
Saburo Matsushita's expression was tense, and he became anxious for a moment, and said loudly: "I have confessed honestly, I have said everything, and I have not concealed anything. Every word of mine is true, and there are no lies."
"Whatever you want to know, just ask."
"I will definitely say it."
"Don't come again, I really made everything clear."
Saburo Matsushita thought about the miserable situation he had been tortured into, and his emotions collapsed. He said loudly: "Please, even if you want to kill me, just kill me directly. I would rather die than endure such torture."
Lu Xuan examined it and determined that Saburo Matsushita was not lying and had nothing to ask, so he waved his hand and said: "Deng Dang, drag the person down and cure him, and then interrogate other Japanese people and verify the information. Next, we will go to Honshu Island of Japan. At the base camp, we have to rely on these people to lead the way.”
"As you command!"
Deng Dang turned and left.
Shortly after Deng Dang left, Cao Cao came and reported: "Your Majesty, I heard that assassins were attacking."
Lu Xuan nodded and said quickly: "It has been clearly interrogated that it was Tokugawa Ieyasu who left ten ninja assassins to assassinate me. Everyone has been captured. In addition, the other party told me that Tokugawa Ieyasu left water on the sea. The army wants to target us."
Cao Cao's eyes were sharp and he said: "Your Majesty, our warships are well equipped. Even if Tokugawa Ieyasu has warships, we are not afraid."
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded, and said: "Father-in-law is right, our warship is currently the largest and strongest. In addition to the catapult you mentioned, father-in-law, there is also a racket, which is enough to suppress the opponent."
The racket is a common weapon of the five-tooth ship.
Historically, five-tooth ships were popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. They were no longer ordinary ships and were four or five stories high.
Lu Xuan's warships cannot achieve such an effect. The largest flagship only has three floors, and most of them have two floors.
The racket pole on the ship is not a trebuchet, but a long and tough pole set up on the ship. The end of the long pole can move up and down. Tie boulders to the top of long poles and tie them to wooden stakes on the side when not in use.
When the enemy's ship approaches, loosen the rope and let go of the long binding pole. Using the principle of leverage, the top stone is smashed down and hits the opponent's ship, which can have the effect of breaking the opponent's warship.
At the same time, you can also take the lead and win by surprise.
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind. He said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
Lu Xuan asked: "What do you think?"
Cao Cao replied: "We will use the method of luring the enemy. When the time comes, we will first send a few warships to the sea to lure the enemy out. Then, our warships will appear again to encircle the enemy and destroy them in one go."
"If our warships march together and the Japanese warships are afraid of the mighty force and dare not come out, they will not be able to annihilate them. With the help of naval battles, we can first further weaken Tokugawa Ieyasu's power and cut off his power to harass at sea. .”
Lu Xuan looked approvingly and said, "Just follow my father-in-law's arrangement."
"I resign!"
Cao Cao saluted and got up to make arrangements.
After Cao Cao left, Lu Xuan yawned and turned back to sleep. In the evening, I had a great harmony of yin and yang with Sun Shangxiang. Because Sun Shangxiang has long legs and his legs are slender and strong, the great harmony is very laborious, which makes him a little tired now.
After a night of silence, Lu Xuan got up early the next morning.
Lu Xuan and Sun Shangxiang had dinner. Sun Shangxiang put on his armor and still stood guard, following Lu Xuan. But Lu Xuan had nothing to do for the time being. After Sun Shangxiang stood guard for a while, Lu Xuan took Sun Shangxiang, called Xu Chu, and headed to the seaside again, preparing to continue fishing for seafood.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Xuan arrived, Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Guo Jia and others, and hundreds of soldiers were distributed along the coast, each fishing for seafood.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
This is really about living by the sea.
Today's fishing may be able to catch a lot more. The next step won't be so easy. Because the current ecology is destroyed, many large lobsters, crabs, swimming crabs, bread crabs, abalone, and sea cucumbers that gather on the shore reefs need a certain amount of time to recover after being caught.
Unless you go to deeper waters.
However, without oxygen bottles, it is impossible to dive into deep water.
Lu Xuan watched for a while and saw that some people caught big lobsters, others caught big crabs, and some small fish and shrimps. Because there are more people, the harvest of arrests will naturally be more.
Lu Xuan looked at it for a while and then went back.
The rest of the time was so boring and boring. Lu Xuan ate abalone and seafood every day, and slept with the beautiful woman in his arms. His life was very comfortable.
Less than half a month has passed, and the October sky has become a little cooler.
On this day, when Lu Xuan was reading in the camp without any desire, Cao Cao came in a hurry, his eyes were excited, and reported: "Your Majesty, all the warships have arrived. In addition, the weather has returned to fine weather. The timing is right. Mature, ready to cross the sea and fight.”
Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly brightened.
Recently, when he was with Sun Shangxiang, the frequent harmony of yin and yang made him feel a little wantless. Now that the war is coming, Lu Xuan was quite excited. He stood up and said, "Give me the order and get ready to set off."
"Here!"
Cao Cao answered immediately.
He turned around and made arrangements.
Because the army had been prepared for a long time, they took action quickly and boarded one warship after another.
All the warships slowly sailed out of the port. But when a large number of warships went to sea, three of them sailed ahead, heading towards Honshu Island.
