"Jiang Huai?" Changsheng left his seat excitedly and paced back and forth.
Datou also knew why Changsheng was excited, because several cities in Jianghuai faced the sea to the east. In addition to the Dengzhou area across the sea from the Japanese country, Jianghuai was also a good place for Japanese pirates to cross the sea and land. The most important thing is that Sun Ru, the governor of the Jianghuai River, has rebelled and openly resisted the imperial court. The Jianghuai area under his control is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Jianghuai area is also an excellent place for Japanese pirates to hide.
"Sir, the Japanese pirates are probably hiding in Jianghuai." Datou said.
"Yes," Changsheng continued pacing, "the Jianghuai area is adjacent to the sea to the east. The sundries carried by the Japanese pirates pretending to be salesmen all came from Jianghuai, which rules out the possibility of them buying them midway. It can be seen that their base camp is in Jianghuai .”
"Sun Ru, the military governor of Jianghuai, has launched an army to rebel. This guy may have colluded with the Japanese pirates." Datou said.
Changsheng nodded sternly, "I think so too. There are thousands of Japanese pirates who have sneaked into China this time. Although Jianghuai is large, so many strangers suddenly appeared. It is impossible for Sun Ru to be unaware. There is only one reasonable explanation. Then It means that he has reached some kind of deal with the Japanese pirates, he provides facilities for the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates help him fight against the imperial court."
"What you say makes sense, sir," Datou said with concern, "but Jianghuai is Sun Ru's territory. Even if we know where the Japanese pirates are hiding, there is nothing we can do."
Changsheng's nose trembled slightly but he didn't answer.
Datou has been with Changsheng day and night and knows a lot about him. Seeing his expression, he immediately guessed what he was thinking, "Sir, you must be careful. There are many of them. If we go there, we will go deep alone, which is very dangerous. "
"They split up to look for the Golden Dragon and the Twelve Earthly Branches. Most of the troops should have been sent out," Changsheng said.
Datou still had concerns, but Changsheng's attitude showed that he had made up his mind. To dissuade him at this time would be to interfere, so he immediately changed his mind and helped to think about it, "The 100,000 new troops led by Tongchen are on their way to attack Sun Ru. At this time, It should be here soon, can we join forces with them?"
Changsheng stopped pacing, sat down and shook his head, "No, marching and fighting are about tactics and rules. We can't affect their plans."
Datou walked to the table and poured a pot of tea. "If we don't move their army, we will lend them a few masters."
"That won't work," Chang Sheng waved his hand, "When there are more people, the target will be bigger and it will be difficult to hide our whereabouts. And you also said just now that we are going deep alone. If something goes wrong, we will die. You and I I share life and death, and it is only natural that I benefit from it, and you will not complain if you are unlucky with me, but they are all outsiders, why should we let others put themselves at risk with us."
"It makes sense," Datou pushed the tea cup in front of Changsheng, "My lord, the emperor also knows that the Japanese pirates came for the dragon vein. Can you tell the emperor about this and see what he thinks."
Seeing Changsheng raise his eyebrows and glance at him, Datou was worried that Changsheng would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained, "Sir, I will go wherever you go. I am not afraid at all. Even if I die in battle, I will not be afraid. I am afraid of you." If something goes wrong, the most important Japanese pirates are the enemies of the entire Tang Dynasty, not just our enemies."
"You have been with me for a long time. I know who you are. This explanation is completely redundant," Changsheng said. "I wanted to kill them by surprise. There are many considerations. They ran to Chang'an and wanted to blow up our Mount, the methods are so vicious and the nature is so despicable. I can't swallow this breath if I don't return the favor. We have to let the Japanese pirates know that we are not easy to mess with. It is never too late for any gentleman to seek revenge after ten years. I don't believe this. You have to take revenge as soon as possible. They gave If we punch them, we will immediately kick them back, so that they can be afraid of us."
Datou knew that Chang Sheng hadn't finished speaking, so he just nodded and didn't answer.
Changsheng said again, "They failed to kill our mount this time, and they will definitely come again to harass us. Now the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, the situation is very unfavorable to us. We cannot always passively accept attacks and be led by Japanese pirates." The nose goes away. Whoever stipulates that we must accept their moves. Whoever stipulates that if they want to compete with each other, we must compete with them. It doesn’t matter what they say. Whoever has the ability can use it. We can’t let them figure out our context. .”
"Also," Changsheng said again, "I suspect that my senior sister has been captured by them. We have the final say in Chang'an. The enemy will not hide her in Chang'an. If she is captured, she will definitely be locked up in the lair of the Japanese pirates. .”
After Changsheng finished speaking, Datou suddenly realized, "Sir, who is more suitable to take the front position? I am a naughty boy, I am too conspicuous."
"What are you going to do?" Changsheng asked casually.
"Jianghuai is very big. Even if we want to go there for a sneak attack, we have to know where their lair is." Datou said.
"No need," Changsheng shook his head, "It's a waste of time. Just kill them. We don't know where they are. Sun Ru should know, right? As long as we take him down, we still have to worry about where the Japanese pirates' lair is?"
"That makes sense." Big Head nodded.
"Go and call them over." Changsheng said.
"So urgent?" Datou was stunned, "Sir, you don't want to leave tonight, do you?"
"Leaving tonight." Changsheng held a cup and drank water.
Although Datou felt that Chang Sheng was acting too hastily, he did not dissuade him because he knew that Chang Sheng was smarter than him. As a subordinate, he could put forward his own opinions. However, when the boss was resolute, the correct approach was to implement it immediately instead of self-righteous advice. Remonstrance stopped.
Not long after, Yang Kai and others all arrived.
Changshang expressed his thoughts briefly and comprehensively. Everyone believed that the base camp of the Japanese pirates was in Jianghuai. As for Changsheng's plan to set off overnight and launch a thousand-mile raid, they do not think it is right or wrong, because they do not need to judge whether it is right or wrong, that is a matter for their superiors.
"Since they want to kill our mounts, let's let them see how powerful the mounts are," Changsheng said. "We now have three mounts to use, so let's go with three people."
After hearing Chang Sheng's words, everyone looked at each other in shock. As they went deeper alone, five people were in danger. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if three people were gone?
Before anyone could express their stance, Changsheng spoke again, "Master, you are the most powerful in martial arts and use long weapons. Who else but you can charge into battle? You go ahead."
"Okay." Shi Xuanming nodded excitedly.
"Datou, your yin and yang chakra is amazingly powerful. The enemy group is devastated by the melee. You go too." Changsheng ordered the general again.
Seeing that the two of them were excluded, Yang Kai and Yu Yi frowned and looked at each other. Before they could speak, Chang Sheng said, "Yu Yi, you have been restless recently and it is not appropriate to go to the battle."
Yang Kai rarely grabs words, but this time he couldn't bear it anymore, "Without me, you can't fight for a long time."
"That's why I don't take you with me," Chang Sheng said sternly. "The worst thing about fighting is to go deep alone. We can't fight for a long time here. As time goes by, we will be trapped in a tight siege. We will withdraw before our spiritual energy runs out. "
"The big head is hatching eggs." Yang Kai still wanted to go.
"He hasn't hatched yet. The old veterinarian has been keeping an eye on him," Changsheng said. "That's it. He's big, small, and light. We may have to rescue one more person here. Then the two of them will ride together. The speed is not affected, even if the enemy is furious, they can only watch us Juechen leave."
"Yes, let them see the power of five hundred thousand taels of silver." Datou was very excited.
"Get ready immediately and leave on time at three o'clock." Changsheng said.
Datou and Shi Xuanming stood up and retreated.
"Master, don't wear cassock, put on casual clothes." Changsheng said casually.
"Okay," Shi Xuanming agreed casually, then muttered in a low voice, "I don't seem to have casual clothes."
"Why not," Datou said with a smile, "The outfit you wore to Anxiang Tower is quite good."
"You arrogant little man," Shi Xuanming scolded, "Don't expect me to save you if you're unlucky."
"Shit, I still can't tell who will save whom." Da Tou disagreed.
The two laughed and went out. Chang Sheng turned to look at Yang Kai and Yu Yi. They were quite frustrated that they could not join the battle together.
Changsheng said in a deep voice, "There are only three horses that can run long distances at the moment, and only three people can go there. Moreover, our trip this time is mainly for demonstrations and retaliation. It is impossible to destroy the Japanese pirates' lair, so it is just a raid, not a fierce battle. For now, it is left to We don't have much time. We are in a hurry and we cannot allow them to make leisurely arrangements. We have to increase the difficulty for them and disrupt their position. The more chaotic they are, the longer we can stay in Chang'an."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, neither of them answered the call. It was a done deal and they would definitely not be able to go this time.
Changsheng said again, "It only takes two days to go to Jianghuai and back. During these two days, you cannot take it lightly. The Japanese pirates are likely to come again. We will try our best to annihilate them all."
"Don't worry, sir, we have our own sense of proportion," Yu Yi was worried. "Sir, the Japanese pirates are ruthless and violent. You must be more careful when you go."
"I know," Chang Sheng said sternly, "People who are not from my race must have different thoughts. These Japanese pirates are indeed ferocious and cruel. People in China are rarely so crazy, but I don't believe that they are really brave and unafraid of death. Their morale is low." Those who come out, we have to beat them hard until they are afraid."
The two nodded in agreement. As the saying goes, all faults are acquired through habit. There is only one way to deal with the hysterical madness of Japanese pirates, and that is to make them understand that this kind of mad dog-like bites cannot be their magic weapon to win by surprise.
Changsheng was wearing casual clothes at this time. He traveled lightly and did not need to prepare. He did not even bring dry food. After Datou and Shi Xuanming changed their clothes and rushed over, Changsheng grabbed Long Wei beside the bed and turned around to go out.
The three of them took out the horses from the west wing, left through the side door on the west side, got on their horses, and rode westward.
At this time, the city gate was closed, but the captain guarding the city recognized Chang Sheng. To say the least, even if he didn't recognize him, as a first-rank hussar general, he still had the right to enter and exit the city gate at will.
When he came out of the city gate, Changsheng bent down and lowered his head, shook the reins and urged the horse. The black master neighed and accelerated, stepping on the ground and raising dust, leading the horse.
The two sweaty horses hunched their backs and exerted their strength, following closely behind...
