The huge ancient wood is like a huge umbrella stretched out, and between the overlapping branches, speckled and fragmented sun shadows are revealed. The branches of the trees are intertwined, the flourishing branches and leaves stretched out like green clouds, a huge camphor stands tall and majestic, and the thick strange-shaped branches coil around the tree like dragons.

Beneath the trees, a winding path stretches like a texture on the palm of your hand between the mountains and forests, and you don't know where it starts and ends. Through the shadows of the forest, a soaring eagle let out a high-pitched hiss.

Kushi Mountain, fifty miles away from Kono Castle, according to legend, there is a group of vicious bandits in the mountain, ruthless, murder is not calculated, many caravan pedestrians from the mountain down the road to Kono Castle when they suffered, the guards of Kono Castle sent troops to encircle and suppress many times without success, and even the bandits' nest was never found.

However, at this time, the bandits who were usually fierce and fierce were squatting on the ground like timid and cowardly concubines, dozens of corpses covered the open space in front of the cottage, and the smell of blood spread far and wide.

In the cottage, in the lobby, Cao Wei sat in the first place, and thousands of households on the left and right stood below, waiting for the dispatch.

Cao Bin clenched his fists and said: "Commander, what to do with the remaining dozens of people?" ”

Cao Wei wrote lightly: "Killing, keeping them is a hidden danger after all." ”

"The last general obeys!"

In addition, he ordered the soldiers to rest in the cottage, and sent spies to monitor a radius of ten miles, and report any abnormal movements at any time. Those who move around at will will be killed, those who do not obey military orders will be killed, and those who are ruthless and discordant will be killed! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Wei looked at the back of Cao Bin leaving, and sighed slightly, he didn't want to treat human life like a mustard, but now he was alone, and the five thousand soldiers under his command entrusted his life to him, so he couldn't be allowed to be careless and cautious, and his heart was as hard as iron.

This cottage is a place where bandits gather, and now after Cao Wei exterminated the bandits, the dove occupies the magpie's nest and uses it as a resting place for soldiers. It took two days of trekking in the mountains from Sagara to Kono, and even Cao Wei was exhausted.

Not long after, Cao Bin returned, stood under Cao Wei, and said, "My lord, Toyotomi went to Kono to inquire about the news and hasn't come back yet, will something happen?" ”

Cao Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be unguarded, dog, you take your official's tooth card and dispatch the soldiers to assemble in the direction of the back mountain, and if anything happens, evacuate immediately." ”

"Yes, sir!"

After the dog left, Cao Bin frowned and said, "Don't you trust Toyotomi because of your lordship?" ”

"Cao Bin, in the country of Wa, don't trust anyone except yourself and your brothers who have five thousand lives, once you believe wrong......"

Cao Wei turned his head to look at Ma Peizhe and said, "Brother Ma, please don't contact the outside world these days, it's not that my brother can't trust you......"

Ma Peizhe said with a straight face: "Don't say anything, I, Ma Peizhe, am not an unreasonable person, if the adult has any dispatch in the past few days, Ma Peizhe will never refuse, if there is no need for Ma Peizhe, I will follow the adult and keep to myself." ”

Cao Wei smiled, talking to smart people is happy, Ma Peizhe's performance in the past two days made him very satisfied, if he hadn't done anything bad before leaving the country, Cao Wei wouldn't mind giving him some benefits.

"Now it's a place where I can use my brother, my brother is well-informed, and he is very familiar with the Wa Kingdom, I wonder how much my brother knows about Chiba Daimyo?"

Ma Peizhe pondered for a moment and said: "The head of the Chiba clan, the daimyo, used to be the guardian of the Toyotomi clan, that is, the deputy adjutant of the daimyo, named Chiba Hara, the Toyotomi clan trusted him a lot, and even handed over the military power to him, and then Chiba Yuan rebelled, killed most of the Toyotomi clan, and then reported to the shogun and became the new daimyo. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in the Wa Kingdom.

There are four castles in the fiefdom under the Chiba clan, Kono, Motoyama, Nishien and Ukita, and the first three of these four castles are closer, and you can go back and forth in five or six hours, and Ukita is relatively far away, and it takes half a day to ride a fast horse......"

While speaking, Toyotomi Shunyi hurriedly walked into the lobby, with a happy face, and said: "My lord, I have come back from inquiring about the news, there are five thousand samurai in Kono Castle, and the guard will be Otomo Makotoshi." ”

Cao Wei frowned and said, "Do you know him?" ”

Toyotomi Shunyi said with a smile: "Otomo Mayoshi turned out to be a retainer of the Toyotomi clan, and he grew up in the Toyotomi clan since he was a child, and I have known him since I was a child, and I have a little friendship, so I asked him to raise troops to help me......"

"So you've already looked for him?"

Toyotomi Shunyi didn't feel the coldness in Cao Wei's tone, and said to himself: "Yes, I told him that now I have thousands of samurai to help revive Toyotomi Shunyi, and invite him to fight against the Chiba clan with me......"

"Bastard!"

Cao Wei was furious, his face was pale, and he said: "Toyotomi Shunyi, you actually leaked our whereabouts without permission, what a gut!" Which of the guards in the lower city of the Chiba clan is not the henchman of the Chiba clan, you are in charge of your own affairs, if something goes wrong, it is not only you who will die, but also many soldiers! ”

Toyotomi Shunyi defended: "My lord is too cautious, I saw Otomo Zhenyi, and now he can return safely, which means that he is a friend and not an enemy, and he is worthy of trust......"

Cao Wei laughed angrily and said: "I'm afraid that people are trying to catch them all before they deliberately let you come back, if it is not what I expected, now people are only afraid that they are raising troops to annihilate us "anti-thieves" in one fell swoop!" ”

"Impossible, impossible......"

"Report!" The dog hurriedly ran into the lobby and said, "My lord, the spies have come to report, thousands of officers and soldiers have been found under the mountain, about 3,000 people, are coming to the mountain, please decide!" ”

Toyotomi Shunyi did not have a trace of blood on his face, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Cao Wei.

Cao Wei sneered: "Toyotomi, it's okay if it's okay this time, if something happens, you can bury the soldiers under this official!" ”

After Cao Wei finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, and Gouzi and Cao Bin followed. Ma Peizhe glanced at Toyotomi and said, "Toyotomi, even I, an outsider, can see that the only person you can trust now is an adult, and you are so stupid because you are carried away by hatred."

Let's go, I hope nothing happens......"

……

……

After a pillar of incense, a team of people walked on the mountain road in a hurry, with spies exploring the road in front and warriors cutting off their tails in the back, marching all the way in a hurry, without stopping for a moment.

It wasn't until he had walked a long way and reached a bamboo forest that Cao Wei ordered the soldiers to stop and rest.

Cao Bin ran over and brought the water bladder to Cao Wei, and after Cao Wei drank the water, he asked: "My lord, we have 5,000 soldiers and armor, and we are all good at fighting, so why should we be afraid of him with only 3,000 people?" ”

"If we fight against us, we will definitely not lose, but we will also hurt a lot......" Cao Wei pointed to the officers and soldiers who were resting, and said: "They were brought by the official from Daming, and the official wants to bring them back, and their wives and children are still waiting for them to go back at home." ”

Cao Bin was silent for a long time and said, "My lord, how can there be immortals in war." ”

"I know......"

Cao Wei smiled: "It's a little bit less to die!" ”

Cao Bin looked at him straightly, and suddenly smiled: "My lord, you are not suitable to be a general...... But it must be a good Shangguan! ”

Cao Wei smiled: "Okay, that's the end of the sycophant, let's talk about what to do next!" ”

Cao Bin pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, I have a plan......" I want to talk about "Daming Qingshi" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
