Even if the appetite is not so big, and he can't eat this group of Japanese sea masters, it is not a bad thing to be able to defeat them and occupy the entire Nanhai Province. After thinking about it for a second time, Yang Chendong sent a telegram to give the messenger who had sent the message to the Japanese army a chance to escape, and asked him to send the information to Governor Kuroda in the South China Sea.

Under Yang Chendong's arrangement, the envoy successfully escaped and successfully entered the South China Sea Road. At this time, Governor Kuroda had already received an order from the great shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa through carrier pigeons, and he was considering a plan of action at the moment.

The appearance of the envoy let President Kuroda know that the plan had been known by the Five-Star Army, and in a fit of anger, he directly killed the envoy, after all, the biggest advantage of the army's action is suddenness, but now that it is gone, this makes people not annoyed.

Of course, everything was done by the generals, and people did it for the sake of double insurance.

After killing the envoy and venting his anger, President Kuroda had to think about forcibly breaking through. Although he knew that the Five-Star Army was already prepared, the general's order could not be disobeyed, and the most important thing was that he did not know what kind of problems would arise after being trapped for a long time.

Five days later, President Kuroda, who was ready, gave the order to break out. 300,000 navy ships with 1,000 warships carrying grain, grass, baggage, and silver suddenly came out of Nankaido and slaughtered towards the sea.

The extremely elite Navy Fourth and Sea Fifth Divisions of the Five-Star Army plus the 30,000 Korean Provincial Navy Divisions were responsible for blocking the attack, totaling less than 50,000.

In the face of the 300,000 Japanese naval divisions, even if they had been prepared and had the advantage of artillery, they still couldn't leave all of them behind. In the end, after three days and three nights of fighting, the Japanese army and navy left half of their men and horses behind, but they still fled. Afterwards, the two division commanders sent a telegram to Yang Chendong to plead guilty, but Yang Chendong, who had expected this result, did not blame them, but rewarded them, and then issued an order to continue the pursuit.

He wanted to rely on the speed advantage and weapon superiority of the warship to continue to strike, and finally achieve the goal of blasting all the Japanese naval divisions out of the Japanese country.

The war on the sea has continued to start, and the two sides have fought back and forth many times on land. The general trend has gone, and the Japanese army, which has already lost the morale of the army and the people, has been defeated again and again, and the situation has tilted a lot in the direction of the five-star army. As it continues, it is only a matter of time before the war ends.

The war of the Wa Kingdom began to march towards the last stage. The situation on the grassland is becoming more and more severe.

The compound of the military headquarters of the Second Army in Shajing City.

This is the third time Rong Shao has appeared here. The first two talks between the two sides were not very good, or that they were deliberately raising their prices and delaying their actions. And this Jiao Rongshao has already made the final decision, that is, if he doesn't surrender, he will fight, the time has passed too long, he has lost his patience, or the people behind him have lost their patience.

In the final analysis, Shajing City and Jingzhou City are only one army of the Five-Star Army, and the four divisions together are only more than 30,000 people, but Beiming has already spent a lot of energy and time on them.

For the high-level of Beiming, it is best to be able to subdue this new force, but if it is really not possible, it is not ruled out that force can achieve the goal.

It was precisely because of the impatience above that Rong Shao came here this time

Shi's attitude is also much stronger than the last two times.

Having been in business all year round, Rong Shao has developed a ability to see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when he sees ghosts. The smiling face has always been harmless to humans and animals, but the words he said were very harsh. "General She, I don't know how long things have passed, how you think about it. You must know that now our Beiming has arranged 200,000 troops outside Shajing City, and it is really said that it can be fought, and it has the ability to break through here at any time. ”

When he said these words, the smile on the face of the fat Rong Shao was gone, and there was a picture that if you don't give me an accurate answer, I will attack.

In the face of the somewhat aggressive Rong Shao, he was reluctant to make it clear that there was not much time left for himself. After dragging it down, it is likely that things are going to be bad, so after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Okay, I can agree to what you said about the battlefield uprising, but please give me time, you must know that although I am the commander of the new Second Army, except for Xu Yuan, the other three division commanders were arranged by King Wunan, and if you don't convince them, things can't be done at all." You don't want to see a fratricidal New Second Army come to Beiming. ”

The reason given by the don't is very appropriate, Rong Shao has also investigated the identities of the other three division commanders before, and it is indeed arranged by Yang Chendong himself. More than 20,000 cavalry is a very powerful force, if it is abandoned like this, the incident will not be perfect, and Rong Shao's personal merits will be much less, he nodded at the moment and said: "Okay, but I need an accurate time." ”

"A month." After thinking about it for a while, I gave the answer.

"No, ten days at most." Rong Shao refused in the tone of a businessman.

In the end, after a bargain between the two, twenty days prevailed. That is to say, twenty days later, if you can't lead the new Second Army to defect to the Northern Ming, then the Northern Ming army outside the city will launch a military operation.

......

Shijo.

As the largest city under the influence of the Yang family on the grassland, and one of the earliest cities built, it is still prosperous.

Although the external environment was somewhat tense during this time, the people living in the city were not affected much. This is naturally inseparable from the fact that the powerful New First Army is stationed here. As the top leader of the military department other than Yang Chendong, Hu Mang fully demonstrated his ability to run the new First Army in an orderly manner. Even the current rampant Northern Ming Liaodong Iron Cavalry has never had the intention of beating their minds.

Even when acting, it is often two hundred miles away from Shicheng, and it is precisely under this arrangement that the two sides have the meaning that the well water does not interfere with the river water.

It's just that despite this, Hu Mang does not mean to be proud at all, on the contrary, he is not in a good mood for a while, everything is because of the two cities of Shajing City and Jingzhou.

Rong Shao is worthy of being a qualified businessman who knows how to maximize his own interests. Since he began to contact the New Second Army, he has continued to release all kinds of remarks that are unfavorable to the farewell. And just yesterday, a new gossip came out, saying that it would not be long before the heavily surrounded New Second Army would be thrown into the arms of Beiming.

As soon as the news came out, Hu Mang naturally didn't believe it, and he didn't even do anything to send a telegram to Yang Chendong. he

Knowing that these things are naturally in charge of the intelligence department, what he has to do now is to deal with all kinds of accidents that may arise next.

At the military headquarters of the new First Army in the city, Hu Mang invited the city lord Yu Mian and the commander of the logistics division, Yang Si, to sit down in a very quiet room.

Yang Si, as the person in charge of logistics, is the lowest position, so he should have done the job of pouring tea. While pouring tea for Hu Mang and Yu Mian on the side, his mouth did not remain idle, "Two, looking at your frowning appearance, you don't really doubt that Captain She will join the enemy, right?" Hehe, even if you don't believe him, you should believe in the young master's vision. ”

"Yes, I have also been in contact with this person, and I know better, he should not betray the sixth young master." Yu Mian also said in agreement.

"Should?" Hu Mang, chuckling and shaking his head, "Didn't you hear what the Sixth Young Master said?" It doesn't matter about loyalty, is it just that the chips for betrayal are enough? After all, this farewell is not Han, nor is it our old brother, and now it is surrounded by the Northern Ming army, and I am not surprised what kind of thing to do in order to protect myself. ”

As soon as Hu Mang's words fell, Yu Mian stopped talking. In fact, it can be seen from the two words he said just now that he is not very confident in his heart, and his words are just out of wanting to unite everyone, and he doesn't want to doubt his colleagues at will. But now, even Hu Mang bluntly said that he was suspicious, of course he was not good at saying something.

It was Yang Si, after hearing this, his brows furrowed, he had already finished pouring the tea seat, he held a tea bowl tightly in his right hand, and said with something in mind, "Even if you are all suspicious, why don't you report the matter to the young master?" ”

"The young master must already know, but there is no letter yet, this is what makes people wonder about it." Hu Mang said as he shook his head.

"Huh?" After Yang Si heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he didn't know what to say. If even the Sixth Young Master can't determine the truth of the matter, then the authenticity of this matter is probably more than fifty percent.

Yang Si fell into deep thought and didn't speak. Yu Mian thought of something and said, "Even if that's the case, then we should also prepare early." Once something really goes wrong with the New Second Army, I'm afraid that the next target that Beiming will deal with will be us. ”

There is a new second army stationed in Shajing and Jingzhou City, which is equivalent to a target inserted in the grassland, and Beiming must have a scruple if he wants to make a big move. But once there is no such constraint, then everything will be very different, and they can concentrate all their energy on dealing with Shicheng and the new army. With supplies already cut off, the situation of the new army will only become dangerous.

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about, so I've brought you here to see if there's any good plan." Hu Mang nodded heavily, obviously he had thought of all this, and calling the two of them was actually to discuss this matter.

When things are said, the next time is for the three of them to get together and give advice. At this moment, Yang Chendong, who was far away in the Wa Kingdom, had indeed received a telegram from the intelligence officers of Shicheng, which gave a detailed introduction to some of the rumors he had heard. It's just that because the two cities of Shajing are surrounded by heavy sieges, they can't find out the specific and true situation at all, so they report what they heard, whether it's true or false.
