[Chapter 68: Cannibals, Tribes of People]

In the middle of the night, lightning and thunder suddenly thundered, and a torrential downpour swept the entire Qingchuan County. This sudden rainstorm caught the Han army, which had not experienced rain for half a year, a little unprepared, but in the face of this rainstorm, it was the Japanese who were really panicked in the north of Qingchuanyi.

Less than three miles away from the Qingzhou post entrainment checkpoint is a quarry in the south of Qingzhou County, which is the area where the Japanese are heavily garrisoned, from the appearance, the thousands of people stationed here are the elite of the Japanese Bandits, because each of them is equipped with a suit of armor, holding refined war knives--- of course, most of them are captured from the Han army. However, when it comes to tents, it is not satisfactory, these widows are sleeping in the open air in the quarry, and as a result, when a rainstorm comes, the widows have their heads to hide, looking extremely embarrassed.

The rain came and went as fast as it came, and it stopped in the next quarter of an hour. But a quarter of an hour's rain turned the potholed quarry into a large pond. The armor-clad would-be wreckless writh.

Hiromasa Ohno, who was dressed like Oda Nobunaga, looked at the starry night sky after the rain, and said with a melancholy face: "Correct-kun, the heavy rain is pouring down before this action, I'm afraid it's not a good omen!" ”

Standing beside him was an old man in a gray robe, with a small bun on his head, and a thousand furrows on his face, who was also sighing, it was Mu Simu corrected. I only heard him pull his face and say: "Who said no, I was going to take advantage of Shen Yun's little cub to clean him up with a surprise attack tonight, but this rain ...... Alas, Team Leader Ohno, I think it's better to let the samurai retreat to the county seat first! They were wearing dozens of pounds of armor and carrying water, if the Han army rushed over at this moment, they wouldn't be able to run! ”

The vast majority of the Japanese in this era could speak Chinese, and they did not dare to despise the Han army. They were not the Japanese "Imperial Army" spoiled by the cowardly Manchu army, in the final analysis, they were just a group of bandits who burned, killed and looted, and they were alien bandits with an absolute sense of reverence for the Han Chinese.

So after listening to Mu Jiao's words, Ohno Hiromasa did not say anything big, but immediately issued an order to withdraw the army, waving his stubby arms and shouting: "After the first group of palaces, the others will withdraw to the county seat in order." Fast! ”

I have to say that the obedience of the Japanese is indeed very good, which may have something to do with the servility in their bones. Although these Japanese are composed of ronin samurai in the country of Wako, with a little training, they are an army with neat movements and a degree of advance and retreat--- although they are still a little worse than the second class of the empire, but they are already a strong army for the third class army!

Hiroshi Ohno was riding a mule horse, followed by a donkey-riding wooden correction, surrounded by samurai in armor, and this large group of people galloped along the straight road towards Aogawa Prefecture. No one lit torches along the way, but fortunately, the starry sky was not black.

This was originally a sneak attack, but because of a heavy rain, they began to retreat without even seeing the face of the Han army, and all the Japanese were a little panicked. Although no one was making noise, the line was a little scattered as they ran.

Mu Gengzheng said beside him: "Team Leader Ohno, do you think you want Cui Chenghao's people to come over and help guard this quarry?" Wouldn't it be a little less to leave only one group of people? ”

Ohno Hiroshi was looking at the gradually scattered team, and he was angry with himself, and he was even more angry when he stopped correcting the words, and said stiffly: "Correction Jun, Madame asked us to help her solve Shen Yun, not Cui Chenghao!" It's just a rabble, and I don't think they'll be able to hold off a single charge from the Han army! After that, he buried his head in the road.

Wood correction pouts. Damn, I still laugh at others for being a rabble, pointing at the monk and scolding the thief for baldness, and I don't care that I still have a leper on my head! Among these thousands of people, except for the first group behind the palace, the second group that opened the way in front of the head, and the third group around here, what is the difference between the others and the rabble?

Mu Gengzheng saw several widows running and running out into the woods on the side of the road, and it took a long time to see them follow from behind with their belts and belts, and his disdain in his heart was even stronger. But as the message from Mu Hong said, at this moment in Bohai County, Ohno Hiromasa's Itachi team is still very useful, and it is better not to offend them unless forced to do so.

Speaking of which, Mu Gengzheng also looked down on Goryeo Qingzhuang led by Cui Chenghao at first, but the amazing blow of Goryeo Qingzhuang ten days ago made Mu Gengzheng change his opinion.

Although these Koreans did not have the same law as the Itachi group between advance and retreat, and they all relied on a bloody courage to fight, they all had perennial hunting skills, and three or four people could form a combat group. But in the end, after taking Qingchuan County, he got the least.

Ohno Hiromasa was very dissatisfied that someone came out to compete with him for credit, so he arranged for the Koreans to go to the mountains west of Cheongcheon County, and the weapons and armor were also sent to some Japanese robbers. Cui Chenghao was already a little dissatisfied with this, and secretly asked Mu Correction to say it a few times, but Mu Correction did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he could only report the matter to Mu Hong and ask Xiao Qin for instructions.

As for how Gao Li Qingzhuang suddenly got involved in this matter, Mu Zheng was also confused. In fact, this matter was handled by Mugen from beginning to end, but he never considered involving the Koreans. It's not that he looks down on the Koreans, but he doesn't know that the Koreans also have the intention of rebelling. This Choi Sung-ho is eccentric!

Hiroshi Ohno is also thinking about his own thoughts.

In fact, the so-called "big weasel thief" is not a personal name, but refers to an organization --- "weasel group"!

Itachi-gumi is a spy organization that King Meiji began to set up on the day he inherited the throne, and after several years of development, it has been faintly planting chess pieces all over Bohai County. Most of the Weasel Group's funds came from the trade profits of the Han and Wa Kingdoms, but some of them relied on themselves to plunder around, so there was the emergence of the "Great Thief Weasel". There are six teams in the Weasel group, each group has a team leader, if there is an action that requires several groups to act together, one of these group leaders will be selected to be the section leader, responsible for directing the action.

In fact, there are very few real members of the Itachi group, but the sources are very complex. There are Koreans, savages, barbarians, Yi people, and even the Filipinos south of Starfall City, and the Germans and Gauls from far west...... The total number of people is only about 800, and most of them are Japanese people. As long as it is a member of the Weasel group, you can call yourself a "big pirate ferret". Itachi's main force in each action is the Japanese ronin samurai and the savage tribes that roam the northern side of the Han Empire.

The so-called savages are just a name, they are the original inhabitants of the Siberian region, and they have been living a primitive life of drinking blood until the soldiers of the Han Empire pointed north to Lake Baikal, which made them jump directly from the primitive society to the feudal society and produced a basic national consciousness. These savages are tall and cruel and murderous, and there are many customs that can only be found in primitive societies in the tribe, such as polyandry, mother-child promiscuity/incest, cannibalism, etc., which is also the most critical reason why they are not accommodated by the Han culture and have always called them "savages". These savages have extremely strong combat effectiveness, but fortunately their population is not large, according to the household records of the Han Empire, the large and famous tribes of savages are twenty-one, with a population of about 60,000, and some scattered small tribes are not counted.

In fact, they are often confused with the Xiongnu in Han culture, but in fact, the Xiongnu also often attack the savage tribes in order to obtain strong labor and strong cannon fodder on the battlefield. It is precisely because of the discrimination of various ethnic groups in the surrounding areas that the savage tribe has a strong aggressiveness and xenophobia, if it were not for the great efforts of the king of the Wa Kingdom in recent years, the savage tribe would not have sent so many soldiers to help in this operation.

Of course, if the price is right, the savages may not be unpretentious to the Japanese people.

This operation was in charge of Hiromasa Ohno, and he didn't expect the Koreans to suddenly intervene, the timing and intensity of the intervention were too accurate, and sometimes Hiromasa Ohno even wondered if it was Choi Sung-ho who Xiao Qin sent someone else to contact.

Cui Chenghao is also a famous ranger in Bohai County, he traveled to the Han Empire when he was young, crawled and fought in the rivers and lakes, learned a good martial arts, and returned to Bohai County at the age of 30 to gather a large group of young and strong people to practice martial arts in the name of sweeping away the Japanese invaders, and the momentum was quite huge. Itachi's group had sent someone to woo him, but he didn't bother him. This time, he suddenly intervened, although he helped Hiromasa Ohno, but Hiromasa Ohno didn't appreciate it.

Everyone has a selfish heart, "helping others for pleasure" is a word invented by the Han people, but in the face of interests, the Han people themselves can't do it, let alone others? Ohno Hiroshi felt that this Cui Chenghao came too suddenly, maybe he was holding back something!

But he can't rush to get rid of Cui Chenghao at this moment, after all, he has some strength, and strictly speaking, his people seem to be slightly better than the Itachi group in terms of discipline. At least after the capture of Qingchuan County, his ronin warriors were busy burning, killing and looting, but the Koreans withdrew from the city and stopped to watch. Don't block, don't participate.

…………………… Dividing line ........................

The only difference between Qingchuan County and Suchuan County is that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The layout is similar, and there are woods around it as a separation zone, and there are still no city walls.

If it is in Qingchuan County in normal times, it must be dark at this hour, and the occasional few lights must be the study of a large family, or a lantern in the hands of the husband...... But today, even if the moon shines in the sky, I am afraid that it will be overshadowed by the light here!

Don't get me wrong, this is not a compliment!

It is true that the entire Qingchuan County is full of bonfires, and countless people are laughing and singing in front of the bonfire, looking like they are boiling with joy. But if you get closer, you will find that the entire Qingchuan County has almost been razed to the ground, whether it is the government or private houses, high-rise houses or compounds, all of them have been burned, the gold, silver and jewelry inside are wrapped into packages and placed next to the fire, tables, chairs, benches and even beams and pillars have been removed and bonfires have been lit!

Most of the people gathered around the bonfire were savages dressed in burlap, with bare chest hair, and angry eyes. There are also wooden shelves on the bonfire, and the shelves are skewered with roasted brown and tender meat, and the aroma of the meat wafts away, accompanied by the singing, which makes people think that this is a bonfire party held by some rich family...... But even Hiromasa Ohno knew it was impossible.

After approaching the first bonfire, the team consciously bypassed it and set up camp in the woods next to Qingchuan County. Since this time, the entire county has been a world of savages. It's not that the savages don't agree to share the fruits of their victory with the Wakos, but it's ......

"Captain Ohno, this is the food that our patriarch has given to all the samurai, and I hope to invite Captain Ohno to hold a victory ceremony with us!" An orangutan-like wild man with his hair disheveled and his chest muscles exposed, came to Hiromasa Ohno and said loudly. Behind him were a dozen savage warriors carrying wooden skewers with barbecue on their shoulders.

The meat was still steaming, and it was smeared with honey, and it looked brown and delicious, with a faint sweet smell. But Ohno Hiromasa waved his hand again and again as if he had seen a ghost, twisted the heads of the mules and horses and galloped away, only leaving a sentence far away: "Ohno Hiromasa thanked the Oblique Arc Patriarch, Ohno is unwell, and he will visit another day!" ”

The orangutan looked at Mu Correction again, and before he could speak, Mu Correction hurriedly said: "No need, no need, I, I've had a bad appetite recently, thank you!" After saying that, he also ran away. The other wouldn't dare to stay, so they turned around and ran.

The orangutan pursed his lips disdainfully and muttered, "I don't know how to lift, this is the meat of Chengjiang Meng in Qingchuan County!" The slanted arc patriarch is reluctant to eat, so he specially asked me to carry it to you! Hmph, what a bunch of cowards, they don't even dare to eat human flesh, how can they fight? ”

After saying that, he walked back to the city with the meat that looked "delicious".

Mu Gengzheng ran into Ohno Hiromasa's camp in a hurry, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with palpitations: "These wild people are really terrible, they actually eat human flesh......"

Ohno Hiromasa seemed to have just finished talking to someone, and when he heard Mu Correcting coming back, he turned around, his face had returned to normal, he glanced at Wood Correction coldly, and suddenly said: "Correction Jun, they eat Han people!" ”

Mu was stunned for a moment, his face immediately became gloomy, and he also looked at Ohno Hiromasa coldly: "What does Team Leader Ohno mean by this?" ”

Ohno Hiromasa smiled: "It's not interesting, I just want to tell the corrector-kun that if everything here spreads, you know what the consequences will be, right?" ”

The wood correction was stagnant, and suddenly a cold sweat flowed from his back that couldn't be stopped.

Of course he knew the consequences, if the Han people knew that the wild people ran to Qingchuan County and ate all the Han people, it would be impossible for the tribe of the Arc Patriarch not to be wiped out!

The more terrible result is that he, the traitor who led the wolf into the house, will be pointed out by thousands of people, and will be scolded for ten thousand years, and the Mu family will be reduced to a pariah forever, and the generation will not be able to enter the Han nationality.

What's even more terrifying is that this matter is Xiao Qin's idea, once it is discovered, not to mention that Duke Liang is just a duke, even if he is a prince, it will disappear in an instant, and the nine clans are afraid that it will be light! Imagine Qingxu Cao's and Bohai Yuan's as examples!

……

Mu Gengzheng was sweating in a panic, feeling remorseful in his heart, and couldn't help complaining about Ohno Hiromasa: "Ohno Hiromasa, I asked you to contact the savage tribe to plan together, but how did you find a human tribe with cannibalistic customs?" The tribes of horses, deer, and Muhan are all strong and strong, and they can be used by me, but you just found an oblique arc...... It's good now, Qingchuan County will be razed to the ground, and tens of thousands of people will die because of you, in case, in case the court knows, hmph, don't think that only our Lianggong family has something to do, even if you are the king of the Japanese country, the society will not exist, and the country will be destroyed!! ”

Mu Correction said that in the end, he was already full of emotion, but Ohno Hiromasa was not afraid, and still smiled hesitantly: "Correction Jun, it is useless to talk about the matter so far. Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and the Lianggong family is destined to advance and retreat with our country...... But it seems that the corrector hasn't reported this to Mrs. yet, right? ”

Mu was startled, Ohno Hiromasa stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and the thief smiled: "The Itachi Group is not as powerful as your country's Yulin Secret Guard, but in Bohai County, there are some things that can't be hidden from us...... But don't worry, I know what the corrector is worried about, I will report this matter to Madame, and you don't have to take responsibility! ”

Mu Gengzheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at Hiromasa Ohno vigilantly, and his sensitivity as a businessman made him have a bad premonition: "You, what benefits do you want?" ”

Ohno Hiromasa clapped his hands: "Correction Jun is really a smart person, and it is really a pleasure to deal with smart people...... Let's put it bluntly, I just received an order, and I need to correct Jun to help me get the plan to send troops to your country's Bohai Taishou Xiao Rang, as well as the roster of generals of the four counties of Changdao, Shikoku, Pingtung, and Shishui...... Hehe, these things shouldn't be a big deal for Madame, right? ”

Mu corrected and said in shock: "You, what did you say?" ”

Hiromasa Ohno spread his hands: "Is there a problem with the correction's hearing?" I said that Xiao Taishou has transferred the Second Class Army Corps from Changdao, Shikoku, Pingtung, and Shishui counties from Fusang Prefecture, with a total of 42,000 men and horses, and is now assembling towards Seoul one after another, and I need their troop dispatch plan and the roster of generals above the rank of major! ”

"You, you, what the hell are you trying to do?!" Mu Jiaozheng finally realized that something was wrong, and his face was full of panic: "We didn't say that before, as long as you help me kill Shen Yun, the Xiao family will naturally increase your country's trade profits to thirty percent, which is hundreds of thousands of gold coins that year...... But you now! ”

"This time and that time!" Ohno Hongzheng suddenly said simply, "We naturally want the thirty percent profit of the Xiao family, but my king still needs more things, and these things can't be given by your Xiao family, so we have to rely on ourselves to get them...... Corrector, you just say do it or don't do it! ”

Mu Gengzheng collapsed from the donkey, sat down on the ground, and said helplessly: "I, I need to ask Madame!" ”

Hiromasa Ohno looked at him with a smile and was noncommittal.

At this time, another widow ran in in a hurry, rushed to Ohno Hiromasa's ear and hurriedly said a few words, Ohno Hiromasa's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Is this serious? ”

The wolf said, "Seriously. Our people saw with their own eyes, when the lightning and thunder roared, there was a thunderbolt that struck the golden tent where the coffin of the Marquis of Bohai was parked, and then the body of the Marquis of Bohai broke out of the coffin, jumped straight and jumped, killed several soldiers who blocked in a row, and then went all the way to Yuanshan! ”

"Zombie !!" This time it was Hiromasa Ohno's turn to be surprised. He looked at Mu Zheng, who was paralyzed on the ground, and asked hurriedly, "Correcting Jun, do you know that there is really a corpse change in this world?" ”

Mu Gengzheng was still deeply immersed in the fear of the consequences after the defeat, Ohno Hiromasa asked him several times before he returned to his soul, and after hearing what happened, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and screamed: "What? Zombie ??? This ......"

Mu Gengzheng looked at Hiromasa Ohno's panicked look, his heart was happy, and the aggrieved anger he had suffered just now seemed to be a little better, and he hurriedly flicked the gray robe on his body, and pretended to say: "...... It's not impossible! Haven't you heard that the dukes and marquis of the Han Dynasty were all born from the heavens to protect the Han Dynasty, and their bodies were inherently spiritual. It has been almost two months since the death of Bohai Hou, and he is still not buried, and it is not impossible for the corpse to become an immortal through the heavenly thunder! ”

"But our people returned, and the Bohai Marquis became stiff all over, invulnerable, and infinitely powerful, and saw who bit whom...... This is also becoming an immortal? "The Japanese who came to report the news just now will be suspicious.

Hiromasa Ohno actually believed in the corpse, and when Jingmu corrected this, he was even more convinced. Thanks to the influence of Han culture, the Japanese people have also heard a lot of this kind of supernatural thing, and the so-called three people become tigers, and they will naturally believe it if they hear more. Although he had never seen it, it did not prevent him from believing that such a thing existed. The guardian star came into the world, and he can't become an immortal after death, and the possibility of becoming a ghost is still very high, right?!

Thinking of this, Ohno Hongzheng did not doubt him, and asked, "What about Shen Yun, the prince of Bohai?" ”

The report said: "That Shen Yun was so frightened that he hid behind the protection of the soldiers, screaming for someone to buy ink rope and gold pen cinnabar, so as to restrain the corpse!" ”

As soon as he heard these three things, Ohno Hiromasa was even more convinced that Shen Mu was really a corpse, and said with a change of color: "Since this is the case, let the warriors dare not approach the body of the Marquis of Bohai, he should not stop him anywhere, as long as he is optimistic about Shen Yun...... Also, Corrector-kun, where will the zombies go after this corpse transformation? ”

Mu corrected where he understood this, but he couldn't show his timidity at this time, and said affirmatively: "Zombies, after death, have a sense of life, they should go to find people close to them, or familiar places......"

The messenger said, "However, the body is headed for Yuanshan......"

Mu corrected and slapped his thigh: "That's even more right, the Marquis of Bohai was born into the world, and after his death, he also controlled the corpse to go to Yuanshan to worship his ancestors......" Speaking of this, he seemed to have a strange feeling, but he couldn't be sure, and paused and said: "In short, the purpose of our trip is Shen Yun, don't worry about anything else!" ”

Ohno Hiromasa also nodded and said, "Yes, just keep an eye on Shen Yun...... In addition, you quickly ask people to find a few Taoist priests who can subdue demons and subdue demons, just in case! ”

"Yes!" The messenger withdrew.

Mu Gengzheng and Ohno Hiroshi looked at each other head-on, after the verbal argument just now, the two seemed to be a little embarrassed at the moment, Ohno Hiroshi was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, and suddenly heard a wave of wild shouts from the direction of the county town, and occasionally screams!

Hiromasa Ohno took the opportunity to rush out and shouted: "What's the noise? ”

A Japanese robber ran over and pointed to the savage tribe in the city that was still holding a bonfire party and said, "Team leader, it seems that the savages have a conflict with the Koreans......

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a Japanese rogue screaming on his left: "There are assassins!" ”

Hiroshi Ohno was startled, and with a "sonorous" sound, he pulled out a short blade from his waist and shouted, "Array!" There are assassins!! ”

…………………… Dividing line ...........................

PS: Huh, my heart is a little heavy when I think of cannibalism, after all, I am all my own compatriots! But the appearance of someone's tribe is a bit useful, and I originally wanted to write about the burial of the Marquis of Bohai today, but I can't write it depending on the time. Tomorrow!

Spoilers alert, Meiji will appear tomorrow!

hehe
