Chapter 623: Cat Catches Mouse
Everything in the world always has its natural enemies, and the elusive Japanese robbers made Mao Wenlong feel a headache, and the large-scale use of the army to dig out these ubiquitous Japanese robbers is obviously no different from killing chickens with a knife.
And the efficiency is obviously not good, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources to find these little mice, and in the end I don't know if I can succeed. Naturally, it was unnecessary, so Mao Wenlong began to hit Adou and them with his ideas.
Although this would delay the plan to deal with Huang Taiji, Mao Wenlong felt that it was a good deal. A letter was delivered, and within three days, Adou and they returned, and there were twenty people, and none of them were left behind.
"The general soldier said that there are Fuso people who threaten you, and they are still in the city." Uncle Guan looked fearless.
"On the surface, they haven't left the city yet, but the real situation needs to be investigated. After all, people in the military can't fully monitor these sneaky guys like rats. It is precisely because of this that Mao Wenlong is so distressed by these Fuso warriors.
Uncle Guan obviously understood Mao Wenlong's true thoughts, he nodded and said, "Chief soldier, please rest assured, it's just a few Fusang Sect warriors, give us a few days, and we will definitely help you clean up these people." ”
Adou obviously had no objection to what Uncle Guan said, and did not express any doubts. A group of twenty people had just come back and hadn't rested for a while, so they said goodbye to Mao Wenlong and walked outside the yamen.
"Uncle Guan, where should we start?" Adou asked Uncle Guan beside him.
"It's not hard to find these rats, it's hard to make sure they don't escape from under our noses." Uncle Guan stopped and stood at the door of the yamen, frowning and saying.
Fusang can be the king and hegemon on the sea of the Ming Dynasty, but there is not much room for them to survive on land. They are still active in the near sea, but they are rarely seen inland. This is also the reason why the imperial court has not taken the initiative to clean up these pesky flies.
The Fuso warriors had difficulty walking inland, so they went into the shadows. When it was necessary to enter the interior, they would often pretend to be Ming people, and without in-depth contact, they could hardly recognize their true identities by just one or two photos.
Assassination is also a common trick of Fusang warriors at present, and Uncle Guan has obviously come into contact with these Fusang warriors to have such a deep understanding of them.
Adou himself had dealt with the Fusang Sect several times, and he listened to the difficulties raised by Uncle Guan, and agreed: "Indeed, these Fusang warriors are fighting openly, and they don't have to worry. But their elusive methods and assassination methods are quite difficult, and it is obviously not so easy to catch them all at once. ”
Uncle Guan pondered for a moment, and then called ten people and asked them to spy on the foothold of the Fusang Sect warriors in the city first. Then he turned around and said to Adou: "No matter how much, find out their foothold first, and then we will make a plan according to the actual situation." ”
After Uncle Guan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the mansion again, and Adou and everyone hurriedly followed. After receiving Mao Wenlong's letter, they hurriedly put down the matter of the Jin Kingdom and rushed over, which would have been a little tired, and naturally they could not go to besiege the Fusang warriors when they were not in a good state.
On the same day, Uncle Guan and the others rested in the mansion until the next morning, and the people who had gone to spy on the foothold of the Fuso samurai came back one after another. According to their spying, the most likely place to hide the Fuso samurai has been locked in the west of the city.
Hammer hummed and said, "Uncle Guan, according to our search, it is very likely that these Fusang warriors are currently hiding in the chaotic mansions in the west of the city. ”
Uncle Guan touched his chin and said in a condensed voice: "How chaotic is the environment there? ”
Hammer recalled a little, and said with a wry smile: "There are all private houses over there, and they are also a gathering place for the people in the city, and it is obviously impossible to find them quietly." ”
Uncle Guan said in a dark voice: "That's not necessarily, since you can't find their foothold in secret, then you can force them out openly." ”
Adou seemed to realize what Uncle Guan was thinking, and his eyes lit up and said, "Uncle Guan wants the chief soldier to send troops to search, and then we are staring in the dark, right?" ”
Uncle Guan patted Adou's shoulder appreciatively, and said with a smile: "It's still your kid who is smart." ”
Adou smirked twice, it was rare to be praised directly by Uncle Guan like this, and he was a little embarrassed. Uncle Guan rolled his eyes: "Okay, don't be embarrassed, hurry up and talk to the chief soldier, let him send troops now, we should also be ready." ”
Adou nodded, and then left. After learning about Adou's plan, Mao Wenlong naturally did not refuse to send troops, and immediately called Chen Jisheng and asked him to cooperate with Adou's plan.
Without saying a word, Chen Jisheng immediately dispatched 5,000 soldiers and horses, rushed directly to the civilian residence in the west of the city, and began to search door to door.
Such a big movement immediately made the west of the city jump, but fortunately, the capital is now completely controlled by the Dongjiang army, no matter how angry the disturbed people are, they dare not take any inappropriate actions against the Dongjiang army.
Seeing this, the two Fusang warriors who stayed outside left only one to continue to pay attention to the movements of the Dongjiang Army, while the other ran back to their hiding place and reported to the Fuso Sect elder who was in charge.
The Fusang woman, who had stayed with Mao Wenlong before, bowed down and said to the old man: "Daddy, the Dongjiang Army searched here just now, and now it is coming to such a large-scale search, could it be that we have exposed our feet and been known by Mao Wenlong's eyeliner?" ”
The old man Fusang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "It is very likely that this is the case, we can't stay any longer in the west of the city, leaving two people here to take care of it, and the others will meet in batches at another hiding place." ”
The Fusang woman arched her hand and said, "Yes, Daddy! ”
The old man didn't say much, just nodded, and then turned around and left the house with a dozen Fuso samurai.
The remaining Fuso women hesitated for a moment, and left two Fuso warriors to continue to monitor the movements of the Dongjiang army. After that, she took the remaining dozen people and headed for the east of the city from another direction.
In the streets and alleys in the west of the city, there are people like Adou and them, and Fusang was discovered by them as soon as they appeared. According to Uncle Guan's request, no one challenged them, but quietly followed.
However, these Fuso warriors were clearly not vegetarians either, and they soon became aware of the anomalies around them. The Fusang woman was even more vigilant, she did not continue towards the meeting point in the east of the city, and began to shuttle back and forth through the streets and alleys that extended in all directions.
