Chapter 325: Shimazu Takeo
Everyone in the hall laughed and joked for a while, and the atmosphere of the scene was much more relaxed.
Cao Bin arched his hand and said, "My lord, we are in the Wa Kingdom this time... Well, rampant, the court is ......"
When the others heard Cao Bin ask, they all pricked up their ears to listen to Cao Wei's reply. This question is also a question that the generals in the mercenary guard want to ask, this time they came to the country to be a bandit or a thief, and they didn't even say hello to the imperial court, if the imperial court investigates it, I am afraid that the responsibility will not be light, and the light will be dismissed from office, and the heavy will be worried about their lives.
The black-faced Liu Zhu gritted his teeth, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, this time I came to the country of Wa, it was all the fault of one person, and it was my subordinates who tied up the adult......"
"Fart!" Cao Wei glared and said: "You can still tie up the commander with a thousand households, and if you want to carry the black pot for the official, you have to be enough for two catties, you can't, at least you need the deputy commander!" ”
Liu Zhu's face turned red, and he was speechless. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cao Bin smiled bitterly, hugged his fists and said, "I am willing to take the blame for the adult!" ”
"Okay, look at your reluctance, and the official is not reluctant......"
Cao Wei restrained his smile and said, "This time, the imperial court will not know our whereabouts, and even if they do, they will not be able to catch the handle of our mercenary guards." The official ordered all the soldiers to take off their military uniforms and dress up as pirates, that is, they planned to die and not admit their accounts, and when the time came, they only said that we encountered waves on the return voyage and lost our way. ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Cao Wei continued: "Although the imperial court does not know our whereabouts, the emperor and the crown prince must know, and when the time comes, the official will personally share with His Majesty. You must know that we have seized countless treasures in the Japanese country, and in the end they did not fall into the pockets of our officials, but most of them had to go into the inner treasury, and it was too late for Your Majesty to rejoice when we saw so many belongings, how could we blame our officials. ”
Everyone nodded yes, they were still a little worried, but now the last trace of worry in their hearts is gone.
"Alright, let's get down to business!" Cao Wei said solemnly: "We have looted Kono City, this matter will definitely not be hidden for long, and the closest to Kono City is Benshan, so if something happens to Kono City, we will definitely go to Benshan for help." Brother Ma, do you know the guards of Benshan City? ”
"I know!"
Before Ma Peizhe could speak, Toyotomi Shunyi, who had been silent standing on the side, gritted his teeth and said: "The guard of Benshan Castle was formerly named Toyotomi Shuo, and now he is called Shimazu Shunan, he is the righteous son of my father, and he grew up in the Toyotomi clan since he was a child, and my father valued him and ordered him to guard Benshan Castle.
When Chiba rebelled, I fled to Motoyama Castle with my relatives, but I didn't expect Toyotomi to control us, and then sent someone to send us back to the Chiba thief, and also sent us to the table, calling myself Shimazu Shuo, and drawing a clear line with the Toyotomi clan, and in the future, he was the head of the Chiba thief, and even asked the Chiba thief for his relatives......"
Toyotomi Shunyoshi's face was distorted, obviously hating Shimazu Shuo. Cao Wei was quite speechless in his heart, how bad was the Toyotomi clan back then, the guardian generation rebelled, the retainers fled, and the righteous son also rebelled.
"If the adults want to set up an ambush, I, Toyotomi Shunyi, will volunteer to be a pawn of the horse, and I will definitely slash Shimazu Shunan!"
Cao Bin hugged his fists and said: "My lord, it's getting late now, even if Shimazu Shunan wants to rush to the aid of Kono, he will have to wait until tomorrow morning, if we want to set up an ambush, we need to prepare as soon as possible......"
"Who said that the official should set up an ambush ......"
Cao Wei said quietly: "If Shimazu Shu Nan sends troops to Kono, this mountain city will be empty, just like a girl who has stripped naked, if this official does not do it, he will be punished by God!" ”
……
……
The night was long, a full moon hung on the branches, and a fiery dragon galloped away on the road in the darkness.
At dawn, as soon as the sky was bright, the gate of the mountain was wide open, and a team of soldiers and horses quickly left the city and headed straight for Kono Castle.
Among the four castles under the name of the Chiba clan, Motoyama Castle is the smallest one, and there are not many samurai who can accumulate, but after the years of management by Shimazu Shuo, there are also six or seven thousand soldiers and horses.
At this time, the samurai Hao Hao Yutang, who ran out of Motoyama Castle, hundreds of samurai rode horses to open the way in front, and Shimazu Shuo was supported by dozens of personal soldiers and followed closely. If you look closely, the samurai led by Shimazu Shoo are slightly different from the samurai of Kono Castle.
Thousands of samurai wearing rattan armor and wooden helmets were tall and conspicuous among the generally small Japanese people. These more than 1,000 samurai can be described as well-equipped and amazingly powerful, and they are the elite cultivated by Shimazu Shuo at great expense.
Approaching Naki Gorge, a strong smell of blood came, and Shimazu ordered the army to stop, and a dozen samurai on horseback in front of him received the order to ride their horses ahead of them, and only returned after a long time.
"General, there is a battlefield ahead, and the slaves have been carefully investigated, and there is no ambush on the left and right!"
Shimazu nodded expressionlessly, raised his hand, and the army began to advance again, and it was not long before they reached Naki Gorge.
The passage in the middle of Nagi Gorge is not narrow, but it is not easy to pass through now, and the road is paved with corpses all day. More than a dozen vicious wolves were gnawing with their heads down, and when they heard the movement, they couldn't help but look up, and when they saw someone coming, they didn't flee in a hurry, but stared at them viciously, their eyes flashed with a strange green light, and their paws were uneasily scraping on the ground, and they could rush over at any time.
"Shoot!"
After Shimazu Shuo's words, more than 20 samurai took off the bows and arrows hanging on their bodies, pulled their bows and aimed, the wolves may have sensed the danger, clamped their tails and wanted to escape, but it was too late, fifty paces away, the arrow feathers roared, and none of the more than a dozen vicious wolves escaped, and after falling to the ground, they whimpered a few times and then disappeared.
Shimazu dismounted, walked into the battlefield and looked around. He looked up at the cliffs on both sides of the Naqi Gorge, frowned slightly, and casually pulled out a bamboo spear stuck in the ground beside him, and then threw the bamboo spear away, squatting down and rummaging through a corpse without care.
Inadvertently, Shimazu saw a head, which he recognized as Otomo Makoto.
"Idiot!"
Shimazu scolded in his heart.
The crossing of the army is a very dangerous thing in the first place, not to mention such a dangerous place, without letting his subordinates investigate first, and walking in directly, this kind of general is no different from an idiot. Since you have encountered an ambush, you should quickly flee from one side, instead of fighting with the remnants of the soldiers, and make mistakes again and again, what kind of face is not blind?
"Not bad!"
After looking around, Shimazu Shuo praised again.
This sentence is not said to Otomo Makotoshi, but to that unknown opponent. If the bamboo spear is thrown from the ground, it may not have much lethality, but if it is thrown from a cliff dozens of meters high, it is enough to kill a person, and if Otomo Mayoshi is not completely wiped out, he will suffer heavy losses.
There are not many wounds of the samurai who died in battle, most of them are fatal, either in the throat or in the heart, which shows that the other party is a veteran man, and the weapon in his hand is extremely sharp.
These people are by no means a rabble.
Shimazu Shuo admired the people who ambushed Otomo Makotoshi, but he was still not afraid, in his opinion, since the other party set up an ambush, it means that there are not many people, as long as he does not fall into the trap of the other party, he can't help himself.
Shimazu doesn't intend to leave his opponent a chance...... I want to talk about "Da Ming Qingshi" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
