In the mansion, Xu Hai listened to the chatter of his subordinates with a sad face, but only two months later, the Yiwu soldiers were no longer there, how could Shanyin Huiji be so difficult to fight.

However, Xu Hai did not plan to capture Shanyin Huiji, and his first target was not Liu Xian stationed in Yuyao, but Wu Baipeng in Xiaoshan, and Liu Xian was only the second target.

Once Wu Baipeng led the army to aid Shanyin, Xu Hai could immediately set off and go from the Qianqing River West not far from Sanjiang to cut off the Xixing Canal, and he would definitely be able to defeat Wu Baipeng.

Although Xu Hai didn't know that Wu Baipeng's 2,000 soldiers were already the main force protecting Hangzhou, he knew that once he broke Wu Baipeng and attacked Hangzhou, he could calmly arrange and look for fighters to break the reinforcements one by one...... A few years ago, Ren Huan was defeated in this way, thousands of officers and soldiers were routed outside Suzhou, and Ren Huan was only spared.

Yes, Xu Hai chose Shaoxing, which was expected by Hu Zongxian, Qian Yuan and Qian Rui, but what they didn't expect was that Xu Hai chose Hangzhou after Shaoxing.

However, luck was good, before the war, Yue Puhe and Liu Xian switched stations, the former firmly held Shanyin Huiji, and Wu Baipeng cautiously released scouts and did not lead the army to attack...... If Xiaoshan is lost, Qiantang County, the capital of Hangzhou, is almost unobstructed.

This is a coincidence, in and out of the wrong way, Xu Hai's gaze turned to the east, and it was only then that he set his eyes on Liu Xian, who was stationed in Yuyao.

As long as Liu Xian can be defeated, Shaoxing Mansion will hardly be able to contain his forces in the short term...... Of course, this only exists in Xu Hai's imagination.

Siege, Xu Hai is unwilling...... The Chongde battle a few years ago made Xu Hai afraid of the siege, and he preferred to defeat the enemy in the field.

"Okay, needless to say, Wu Dahu!" Xu Hai looked at a big man with a bare head, "You go to attack Shangyu, don't play with flowers, just attack it...... Wash the city! ”

Wu Dahu's excited voice should be that even if it is only one day, he can make a lot of money by washing the city.

Seeing Wu Dahu hurriedly go out, Xu Hai snorted, once Shangyu is broken, reinforcements from all over the country will inevitably come, and the nearest one is Yuyao.

After staying in this town for several days, Xu Hai was itchy all over, and when he saw that the weather was good, he turned over and went outside the town, and most of the Japanese still lived on the outskirts of the town.

The main force of the Japanese under Xu Hai's command is in a state of degeneration.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are just thieves, but they are brave and good at fighting, platoon arrays, and know how to advance and retreat, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are an army, in fact, this is much stronger than the soldiers of the Southeast Guard.

But there are many flaws in saying that it is an army, the most typical is that the Japanese have never played a banner, but Xu Hai has had a banner since the thirty-second year of Jiajing.

The flag in the army comes first, and if there is no flag representing the commander-in-chief, the soldiers will be flustered...... In the battle of Baigou River a hundred years ago, Zhu Di was defeated, but the banner representing the main general of the Southern Army was blown down by the wind, and Zhu Di was able to turn defeat into victory.

The invasion of the Japanese invaded not to kill officials and rebel, but to plunder the population and property, which caused the Japanese to easily disperse into small shares, Xu Hai annexed many Japanese invaders, eliminated the weak and the strong and fought with Wang Zhi for many years, which allowed him to train a team of Japanese soldiers who were close to elite soldiers, and also gave him a strong control over his direct subordinates.

This caused Wang Yi a lot of trouble, but he was lucky enough to bring Zhou Ji with a secret letter.

Wang Yi and his entourage went north from the Cao'e River, abandoned the boat halfway and traveled by land into Huiji Mountain, passed not far from the county seat of Shanyin, and bypassed the Japanese invaders entrenched in Shangyu and near Lianghu.

Wang Yi was originally a border army that did not accept himself at night, and he was the best at spying on military intelligence, and the mountains and rivers of Shaoxing Mansion were dense, which was convenient for hiding, but the further north, the more Japanese robbers, and at a distance of twenty miles from Sanjiangsuo, it was almost impossible to continue to move forward.

Glancing at the dozen or so widows chasing after him, Wang Yi turned around with a sneer, took off the longbow on his back, took two arrows in his right hand, and took one in his mouth.

"Whoosh skinny!"

Three long arrows were accurately nailed to the chests of the first three Japanese robbers, and the ten guards who were ambushed on both sides rushed out with waist knives in hand, and the ones who cut melons and vegetables cut down the remaining Japanese robbers one by one, and only one of the widows who escaped was shot over by Wang Yi.

"Leave a living." Wang Yinunu motioned for others to drag the corpse of the Japanese into the forest next to him, and turned his head to look at Zhou Ji, "Ask." ”

The widow on the ground raised his head in horror and stared at Zhou Ji incredulously, "Are you...... You are ......"

Zhou Ji squatted down with a smile, and took out a towel to wipe off the mud on the side of the wolf's mouth, "I remember you...... It seems to be Wu Dahu's person? ”

"Well, in this way, Wu Dahu has landed." Zhou Ji explained to Wang Yi: "Wu Dahu is Xu Hai's lineage, and he has seven or eight hundred people. ”

"Then Xu Hai is also nearby?" Wang Yi took out the map from his arms and looked at it a few times.

The lips of the widow trembled, he was very familiar with the person in front of him, he was the closest person to Boss Tan, who was the most senior among the old widows, Boss Tan was famous for being able to rob, and the person in front of him was in charge of the warehouse, and he had changed the wine twice.

Zhou Ji asked a few words, but unfortunately this widow didn't know anything, Wang Yi took out his waist knife and said in a low voice: "You have been in the widow, can you take everyone to pretend to be a widow and continue to the north?" ”

"Nope." Zhou Ji smiled bitterly: "Although everyone is not wearing armor, their clothes are all the same...... You must know that many of them don't even have pants, and their whole bodies are in tatters, and people can see through them at a glance. ”

After a moment of silence, Wang Yi shook his head and said, "Xu Hai may be in the north...... But if you don't investigate clearly, just like this, the young master's punishment is still a trivial matter, in case Xu Hai is not there...... That would ruin the big picture. ”

Zhou Ji gritted his teeth and suddenly began to undress, Wang Yi was stunned and began to undress as well.

"Brother Wang, don't go, I'll go alone." Zhou Ji said in a low voice: "Just answer me, after all, I am a familiar face." ”

Wang Yi froze, squatted down and began to peel off the tattered clothes on the corpse of the widow, "Be careful, run back if it's not right......"

"Don't worry, you won't go too far, and you will retreat once you see Xu Haiqi...... Didn't I bring a telescope, and when the time came, I would send a signal and stare at the point. ”

Changing into clothes that were still stained with blood, rolling on the ground a few times, and wielding a long knife, Zhou Ji and Wang Yi discussed some details, changed directions and strode to the northeast.

Although Xu Hai has a strong control over his subordinates, and at the same time he has sent a lot of small groups of pirates to cover the surroundings, but after all, it is not an army, and the pirates below will not inquire about their identities and give orders like regular troops...... In fact, except for Qi Jiguang's command, other officers and soldiers are just pretending.

What's more, Zhou Ji has lived on the main island of Xu Hai's lair for more than half a year, and he is well-known because Tan Wei has good things in his hands, which is not well-connected, but he is quite familiar.

After only walking five or six miles, Zhou Ji ran into a group of Japanese robbers, and the leader actually rode a mule.

Before the widow could ask, Zhou Ji's eyes lit up and he beckoned to the leader, "Blind Liu, have you gotten something good?" ”

Liu Blind is not a blind man, the nickname comes from the fact that Wang Jiangjing ran the wrong way in the first battle and crashed into Yu Dayou's encirclement, but he had a good relationship with Tan Wei, and he was recruited by Xu Hai at about the same time, and he also made big mistakes.

"It's not big, it's not small!" Blind Liu jumped off the mule and scolded: "I didn't grab a single hair, and the general didn't let me do it, what about you?" ”

"No." Zhou Ji stretched out his hands and pointed to the north, "How far is this from the general's station?" ”

"All the way north, not far away." Blind Liu was suddenly stunned and said, "No, didn't Lao Tan come this time?" ”

"Boss Tan didn't come, but when you look back, you all have big bags and small bags, can he not be aggrieved?" Zhou Ji smiled: "I stuffed a few brothers to grab a handful, and followed him to Shanyin, but the result was ......"

"Hey, the brothers are all buying and selling with knives and licking blood, and who knows when it will be gone...... Therefore, the general did not let him do it, and the brothers below were all angry, and there were several Zhuangzi within a radius of ten miles! ”

"Didn't wash it?"

"No, the general estimates that he will play a big game." Blind Liu muttered a few words, and suddenly saw smoke and dust not far away, "Oh, the general is here." ”

There are few horses among the widows, only Xu Hai has dozens of horses around him, so there is only Xu Hai.
