Chapter 1357: Emissary of Izumo Country

The army and navy landed one after another.

They were fierce one by one, and the more than ten days of sailing did not affect them at all.

However, the soldiers of the Marksman Battalion and the Dragon-Patterned Cavalry got off the ship and drooped their heads one by one, looking like they were about to die.

Cao Shuo ordered him to advance a little inland and set up camp.

Since Guan Cheng and Guo Zu joined Cao Shuo, the navy has filled in many officers.

The number of officers and soldiers who have been filled into the navy far exceeds the original number of pirates.

Some of these men joined the navy, some remained on board, and many more joined the Marine battalion.

He made a lot of changes in the Navy.

Some soldiers who were originally subordinate to Guan Cheng and Guo Zu and had a slightly inferior physique were eliminated, and let them go ashore and enter the village as military households of the navy.

As a result, Guo Zu and Guan Cheng's influence in the navy was less than that of Xu Du.

Most of the soldiers were loyal to Cao Shuo.

Those navy who have become military households, although they were originally subordinate to the two of them, but when they go ashore and live a stable life for a few years, their state of mind will change.

Although Guan Cheng and Guo Zu still have a lot of influence in the navy at present, in a few years, they will also become Cao Shuo's subordinates, just like the generals fighting on land.

The army marched inland, and after twenty or thirty miles, there was not a single man.

Cao Shuo ordered: "Stay on the spot, and be vigilant." ”

The soldiers scattered and set up tents.

It didn't take long for the tent to be built.

Frustrated came to Cao Shuo's side: "Childe, it is estimated that it will take two days for the person who went to see Himiko to come back." ”

"Two more days?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why is it so far?" ”

"Izumo is not very small." Fu Zhu said: "It's as big as Xuzhou. Two days back and forth, it should be quite fast. ”

"Since our army landed, I can't even see a single person." Cao Shuo said: "Could it be that there is not much population on this island? ”

Fu Zhu looked at Guan Cheng and Guo Zu and asked them, "Do the two generals know how many people Izumo has?" ”

Guan Cheng and Guo Zu both shook their heads.

Although they had contact with the Izumo people, they were only at sea and had never actually landed.

Even the soldiers who knew how to speak the earthy dialect did not really set foot on this land.

For Cao Shuo and his soldiers, this is a completely unknown area.

The combined number of officers and men who can land in the two navies is only more than 10,000.

Counting the sharpshooter battalion and dragon pattern cavalry brought by Cao Shuo, the total number of people has not exceeded 13,000.

With such a small number of people to conquer Izumo, in case the other party gathers an army of tens of thousands, the battle is really not very easy to fight.

"Why don't you send some scouts around?" "Check if there are any villages nearby, find some Izumo people and ask them, and it will be clear." ”

"Find the cloud man and ask?" Cao Shuo said: "If someone arrives in Xuzhou and asks the ordinary people how many soldiers and horses I have under my command who can fight, will the people know?" ”

"That's what Childe said." "But we can't just wait here. ”

"Scouts still need to be sent." Cao Shuo instructed Chen Zhi: "Send scouts immediately, and be sure to find out how many villages are nearby." ”

"Do you want to fight first?" Chen Zhi asked.

"No, you don't." Cao Shuo said: "The situation is unknown, so let's do things safely." ”

Chen responded and sent more than a dozen dragon pattern riders to investigate the situation.

In the middle of the night, the scouts who had been sent out returned.

The news they brought back made Cao Shuo speechless.

Within a radius of tens of miles, a few groups of scouts only saw six or seven villages, each with a population of no more than a hundred, and if you went further inland, it was likely to be better, but the good ones would be limited.

In the handsome tent, Cao Shuo sat at the top, and Chen Zhi and Huang Zhong stood on both sides.

Fu Zhu, Guan Cheng, and Guo Zu stood on both sides of the tent.

Facing Cao Shuo, more than a dozen returning dragon pattern riders stood straight.

"Are you sure that's all there is to it?" Cao Shuo asked, "Do they have any samurai?" ”

"Nope." One of the dragon-striped cavalry men said, "We only need five people to wipe out the entire village. The whole village is full of ordinary people. ”

After getting this news, Cao Shuo was stunned.

Izumo's real development came after the Central Plains entered the Sui and Tang dynasties.

At that time, the Japanese slaves sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn advanced skills in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the karate of their later generations was originally called Tang hand, and the sword used in kendo was also an improvement of the two-handed sword that appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Central Plains.

The real Japanese warriors should have appeared hundreds of years later.

He did come here a little early......

"Childe, if that's the case, it's likely that we're only facing hordes of homeless people on this expedition." Fu Zhu said to Cao Shuo: "Do you want to ...... according to the previous assumption?"

"Yes!" Cao Shuo said without hesitation: "I have a strong sense of crisis, and I always feel that Izumo will bring endless disasters to our Central Plains in the future." Until then, I'll have to make this barren land. As long as there is no one here, the Central Plains will be stable in the future. ”

"Childe means ......," asked Fu.

"I'm going to make this a desert island completely." Cao Shuo grinned: "Except for wild beasts and plants, there are no half living people on the island. ”

"Childe means that he wants to kill all the people here?" Frustrated asked.

"I told Fu Gong earlier that the best way to exterminate a race is not to kill." "As long as they don't resist, we'll just take their women, including baby girls," Cao said. If they resist, they will be killed. ”

"Since Childe is so intended, he should be able to start." Frustrated said.

"No hurry!" Cao Shuo said: "Let's see what Himiko has to say, if she is willing to see me, we will have to find another way to fight them." If she won't see me, I'll have a good reason to turn Izumo into a barren land. ”

Cao Shuo led the army and stationed it for two or three days.

The soldiers who had gone to see Himiko finally returned.

He came back with him, and there was an Izumo man.

Unlike ordinary Izumo people, the clothes worn by this person are much brighter, and although they are still made of linen, at least the colors are brighter.

This person doesn't look very old, similar to Cao Shuo, but his height is really not flattering.

He followed the soldier, a head and a half shorter than the soldier who had been ordered to see Himiko.

Cao Shuo sat in the tent, and the soldier led the Izumo man in.

After saluting Cao Shuo, the soldier said, "Prince Qiyu, Queen Himiko refuses to give me a visit, but only asks the regent to see me, and sends another messenger to come, intending to make friends." ”

After the soldier finished speaking, the Japanese man stepped forward and said to Cao Shuo: "The envoy of the Yamatai has seen the king of Huainan. ”
