When I saw Qi Dudu, it was noon, and when he saw him, he laughed and congratulated me, saying that the text of the military department had been sent to all provinces and all the way to the county level. Jizhou is the closest to Dejingshi, so I received it yesterday afternoon.

I thanked Qi Dudu, and went with him into the room where I met with the secret guest, and told him the truth about my conversation with Shousuke, including the matter of recommending Yu Shenxing. Hearing that I recommended Yu Shenxing, Shoufu actually agreed, and Qi Dudu's expression was very complicated.

He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes I really can't tell whether you're brave or reckless."

Qi Dudu laughed very contentedly: "For this Yu Shenxing, there have been countless people who interceded for him before, but they were all rejected by Lord Zhang, the first assistant, and moreover, he was reprimanded lightly and severely punished, so in recent years, the name Yu Shenxing has become a taboo!"

As he spoke, he sighed slightly and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect you to say it and convince him!" What's more, you also convinced Yu Shenxing! Qilan, are you really sent by God to save us? ”

I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly: "It's just the right time!" All the governors praised it! ”

When Qi Dudu heard this, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and was amazed. He asked again: "Shousuke really loves Shen Xing deeply and is responsible, but he has always valued it in his heart. So, what kind of action plan did you reach with Yu Shenxing in the end? ”

I smiled slightly and whispered, "The best camouflage is naturally to lurk inside the enemy. ”

Qi Dudu was stunned when he heard this, his eyes turned slightly, he understood my thoughts, and he twisted his beard and said: "You mean, let Yu Shenxing take advantage of the fact that he is widely known for his discord with Shoufu, and blend into the other party's circle, and Shoufu will cooperate to make a play, and improve his status with half a push?" ”

I arched my hand at Qi Dudu and said with a smile: "Your lord's eyes are like torches!" ”

Qi Dudu laughed twice and said, "I didn't expect things to develop like this!" Interesting! Interesting! Then he sighed, "Qi Lana! Why didn't you show up five years earlier? ”

I laughed and said, "Why are the governors and the first assistant the same tone?" When Qilan was born, it is indeed not something that he can control. ”

Qi Dudu laughed and pointed his finger at me, but did not speak.

When I saw that he was in a good mood, I said, "Governor, I have suffered some internal injuries after being assassinated several times in order to clear the land recently, so I would like to take a leave of absence for a while to recuperate. ”

Qi Dudu exclaimed: "Where is the injury?" I see you don't have a good face! There is a good man in the camp, please come and treat you! ”

I smiled and said, "It's that the viscera is injured, and I have already seen Lang Zhong and prescribed a decoction." He just told me that I must recuperate for a period of time, and I must not be exerted to aggravate my condition. ”

Hearing this, Governor Qi nodded and said, "You have made a great contribution to clearing the land this time, and there will be a reward in the future." But it's still important to be physical, so you can rest! I'll arrange the rest for you! ”

My heart warms, although Qi Jiguang treats his subordinates strictly, he definitely has a lot of human affection. So he thanked Qi Dudu and had a light meal with him. Because I was "wounded", my meals were extraordinarily light and I didn't drink alcohol. After dinner, I said goodbye to the governor and went to the coastal area to recuperate.

As soon as I got out of the barracks, I turned on my horse and rode straight to the port of Jinzhou with a group of people. Along the way, people did not rest and did not stop, and when they arrived at the port, it was late at night. Lan and Chen Kui and the sailors were preparing for the stowage, replenishing food, fresh water, weapons and ammunition. The selected iron artillery team also boarded the ship, and this was a very good live exercise for them, which was just right to practice iron artillery tactics and techniques in actual combat and marine environments.

There were three medium-sized sailing boats on this trip, all of which were speed boats with narrow heads and pointed bottoms. Although the Ito Chamber of Commerce was still flying, there was no cargo on board, and most of the space was used for weapons loading. The rest of the space is mainly used to pick up people. It is said that saving people is like fighting fire, so we did not delay for a moment, and at three o'clock in the morning, we completed the preparations and procedures for going to sea, and we set sail.

Destination: Sakai Port!

The reason why it was chosen there was a lot of consideration. Iga is still some distance from the sea, and it stands to reason that it is faster to go southeast to the sea, but there is the Kumano Navy of Japan's No. 1 Navy in charge, and it is definitely not wise to go from that side!

Therefore, it would be wisest to go west, in the direction of Nara, and maneuver in the direction of Osaka. After thinking about it, we chose Sakai Port, which we are most familiar with.

The sea breeze at night was cool. Standing at the bow of the boat, I suddenly remembered the incident between I and Arashi when I first went to sea, and I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth.

There was a sudden sound of slight footsteps behind me, I listened carefully, and the two of them secretly said in their hearts, I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Gently walking behind me and draping me over the cloak were kites and arashi.

"What is the gentleman thinking?" It was Arashi who spoke, her voice was deeper, a bit of a mezzo-soprano, and her appearance also tended to be that of a royal sister, full of feminine charm.

I paused in my heart, and I didn't look back, so I smiled and said, "I'm thinking about you!" ”

Hearing this, the kite was reluctant, and her playful voice sounded on the other side of me: "Yes! Mr. likes mature women, and I naturally have nothing to think about like a firewood girl! ”

Just listening to her voice, I could imagine her sly expression. This girl is like a child who has not grown up in all aspects, but she is thoughtful and knowledgeable, and she is definitely a good staff officer.

I snorted and said, "That's, a handful of ribs, what's there to think about?" ”

The two of them, knowing that I was joking, silently approached me and grabbed my arm.

Standing in the wind like this, I could hardly bear to break the silence. After a while, Kite who understood my thoughts spoke, "Although Iga is in a complete inferior position compared to Oda's army, we Iga have never won by numbers. The leader of the three Taifu of Hyakchi will definitely make full use of various conditions to entangle with the Oda army. At least...... At least leaving the war is not a big problem! ”

Arashi also said, "It takes about a day and a half to two days to ride a horse from Iga to Sakai Port, but if each person has a horse and changes randomly, then it can be reached in one day at the earliest." There should be no problem in this regard. ”

I hummed and asked, "Do you know what the current situation is over there?" ”

Kite spoke: "I got the information three days ago, and this time Oda Nobunaga has developed a strategy to completely eliminate Iga. With Oda Nobuo as the commander-in-chief, he led many famous Oda generals, such as Niwa Nagahide, Takigawa Kazuki, and Gamo Clan, to gather an army of about 40,000 and attack Iga in six directions. And the number of Iga people we are facing is less than 10,000, and the difference in strength is huge! It is said that three days ago, the leader of the three Taifu of the Hundred Lands led three thousand middle ninjas and lower shinobi to ambush the Oda army in the Buddhist Pavilion of the Forty-ninth Temple Shrine, and the effect was very good, but it did not change much to the overall battle situation! ”

I nodded and continued to ask, "I heard that in order to restrain Iga ninjutsu, the Oda Army also specially invited the Koga people to participate in the offensive, I wonder if there is such a thing?" ”

I distinctly felt the hand holding my arm tighten, and his voice was a little colder: "Iga and Koga are originally a family, and both sides are in the same breath. But later they split up because of a disagreement in philosophy. We, Iga, are good at physical arts and ninjutsu, while Koga is better at using poison medicine, but both sides are pretty much the same in terms of basic skills! If ......"

Her voice was a little hesitant, "If they do join the Oda army, then the threat to our Iga people will be doubled!" Damn Koga-kyo! Why do you want to help outsiders deal with your own ninjas? ”

Lan also said, "If they really join, then the leader of the Three Taifu of the Hundred Lands will definitely attack them first." ”

I nodded, I didn't make a sound, I remember watching a movie in my previous life, I can't remember what it was called, it was about the Battle of Iga.

In order to sanction the accomplice of the Oda Army, Koga Zhong, Momochi Santaifu sent Kamishinobi Ishikawa Goemon to lead the team, lured the spies sent by Koga Zhong into a certain cave, and then ordered Shimoshinobi, who had the strongest physical skills, to break through to perform a special mission. These shinobi are strapped all over their bodies*, and he wants to detonate* them in the cave and wipe out all the traitors of the Koga people at the cost of his own life. Two powerful shinobi and elm group were ordered to escort the breakthrough to the cave where the secret meeting was held. Along the way, they were attacked repeatedly, but they fought side by side, repelling strong enemies, and finally detonated the cave full of prisoners.

I know it's a movie, and there will definitely be an element of fiction, but it is conceivable that the real war must be more brutal and bloody than the movie! I only hope now, no matter what the cost, that Santai Hyakuchi will be able to reach Sakai Port alive, because his presence still has a very important role and value to me.

Arashi continued, "The westerly wind on the sea for the past two days is very favorable for us to go to Dongying, but it may be difficult on the return journey, and once we are pursued, our wind direction is really unfavorable. ”

I hummed, I was still a student of naval warfare, but I knew that naval warfare in the Middle Ages had already seized the upper hand, and this side could guarantee that it could attack and retreat. If the wind direction does not change, then we will always be at a disadvantage when we return, which must be unfavorable.

So I said, "Design a retreat route in advance, you can make some detours, but make sure that we can at least calm the enemy." ”

Arashi nodded, leaning lightly against me.

The kite suddenly said again: "Sir, after receiving the leader of the three princesses of the hundred lands, where are you going to send him?" ”

I smiled and said, "His old man must be tired of the daily fights and killings of the Warring States, so I will send him to Nanyang to find his precious son to spend the rest of his life!" ”

The kite nodded, and leaned on me, which was probably the best way.

The east slowly appeared fish belly white, look at the time, it should be more than four o'clock, the sun on the sea always appears very early, this is also the origin of the name of Japan!

Let's struggle! The three husbands of the hundred places. I'm on my way!
