Zhi's two thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "How do you say this?" Since the Japanese didn't catch Li Fucheng, how could they take advantage of him? They didn't even know what kind of letter Li Fucheng was holding in his hand. ”

Li Cangxing said calmly: "It's obvious that the Japanese are prepared, they have their own informants and ghosts in Xinghua, and they know very well when the silver from Quanzhou will arrive, and how many guards there are, so they will choose to do it at this time, they will go ashore along the way, and they will not attack the state and county along the road, and they will not even loot, and the people of Xinghua Mansion who have been ashore for two days do not know any news, so it can be seen that the plan is very thorough, if they really intend to seize this silver tael, how can they not surround the four gates, Will people like Li Fucheng escape and report the news? ”

Master Jianzhi nodded: "Master Li Shi's analysis is reasonable, the strength of the Japanese is very strong, we have fought with them, among these people, there are many cunning people who are well versed in the art of war, ambush, deceit, flanking, surrounding, everything is very proficient, I was also thinking just now, if the Japanese are determined to win, they will not let go of a person, let alone attack without even encircling the city, the south gate has fallen, and the north gate is actually not alone." Master Li Shi, do you mean that the Japanese just want to let Li Fucheng come to the South Shaolin Temple in the north to ask for help, and the real purpose is to come to us? ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "That's right, the Japanese invaded Fujian many times. They were all beaten by the monks and soldiers of Southern Shaolin, and this time they were killed here. must also want to eliminate or severely damage Southern Shaolin in one fell swoop in order to avenge this. But the terrain of South Shaolin is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are tens of thousands of Japanese invaders, if they want to storm here, they will have heavy casualties, and the Japanese invaders raided Xinghua this time, and they must quickly evacuate after robbing the silver, otherwise the army will be surrounded everywhere, and they will not be able to go. Therefore, if you want to take revenge and end the battle quickly, there is only one option: ambush. ”

"Although Nan Shaolin was suppressed by traitors when he used to serve the country, after all, people who practice martial arts have a bloody nature, and martial arts righteous knights will also put aside a qiē at a critical time, protect the country and defend the people, and see the idiot master, if you are not here today, you are afraid that most of you will immediately mobilize monks and soldiers. Kill down the mountain, and fight to the death with the Japanese Kou. ”

The idiot master pronounced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good and good, monks don't speak." Master Li Shi is right, if you don't stop it, I'm afraid that this will not only be the old man. The heroes of all walks of life here have also been killed down the mountain. ”

Li Cangxing said with a smile: "Then you will definitely fall into the ambush of the Japanese Kou, after going out from the mountain road." If you want to take a shortcut, you must pass through a valley. There is the best place to set up an ambush, only need to occupy the mountains on both sides, when the time comes, block the entrance and exit on both sides with big stones, and throw down rolling logs and stones on the mountains on both sides, even if the person with strong martial arts is killed, he can only sit and wait for death. ”

The heroes were sweating on their foreheads when they heard this, glad that they had escaped today, and Xu Linzong said solemnly: "President Li, then in your opinion, what should we do?" You can't just sit back here and watch the people of Xinghua Mansion and the silver just because there is an ambush in the Japanese and let those Japanese robbers come and go freely. ”

Li Cangxing looked around, and said: "Li Mou is not talented, after receiving the news from the inner line, he led the army from Ningde all the way south, just to stop the Japanese invaders, and now General Qi has also received the news at the same time, he should have led the main army from Quanzhou to attack the Japanese invaders from behind, we are the official army of the imperial court, and it is our duty to go into battle to kill thieves, but you are not Ming officers and soldiers, and Li really does not have any power to command you to do something." ”

Master Jianzhi and Zhi Yan glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "General Li, there is no need to say this, today's gathering of the heroes in this Southern Shaolin was originally to open the meeting of the Demon Alliance, but now the incident happened suddenly, the Japanese invaded on a large scale, trapped my city, killed my people, robbed me of the Ming Dynasty tax silver, we and other people who practice martial arts, should protect the country and protect the people, and fight to the death with it, but this battle is not our director, General Li and the Japanese have fought many times, and they have won many battles, and we are willing to obey General Li's command." If anyone obeys your orders, the general can act according to military law, and we will not complain. ”

Zhi Yan then added: "This is also the attitude of my Shaolin Temple, Shaolin disciple, don't obey your fate." ”

Li Cangxing's eyes fell on Xu Linzong and the others, and Xu Linzong smiled slightly: "General Li, a disciple of Wudang, is willing to serve." ”

Lin Yaoxian smiled: "Disciple Emei, let General Li drive, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and you will not give up." ”

Zhan Mubai said angrily: "Since it is an anti-Japanese war, there is nothing to say, Li Cangxing, you will fight, and our Huashan disciples will temporarily obey your command, but I have a word first, after fighting the Japanese invaders, we will not listen to your orders anymore." ”

Li Cangxing nodded, bowed and said, "Cangxing thanks you for your trust and support. ”

Gongsun Hao patted his thigh hatefully: "I knew that I would also bring some apprentices and grandchildren to see the excitement, Cangxing, now I always call Huazi alone, you can do whatever you want, don't leave me aside." ”

Qu Caifeng hooked the corners of his mouth: "Cangxing, there are two of my cottages nearby, I can also bring four or five hundred people in one day in an emergency, do you think you need it?" I'm not worried about anything else, I'm afraid that the Yan Party will charge you with colluding with bandits and bandits at that time. ”

Feng Wu shook his head: "Don't worry about this, which imperial history doesn't dare to impeach if he doesn't have long eyes, our Jinyi Guard will abolish him first." ”

Chu Tianshu didn't say a word, Li Cangxing's gaze finally fell on him, and said with a smile: "Gang Master Chu, but what are your worries about not speaking?" ”

Chu Tianshu said coldly: "I really want to help you this time, but I'm afraid you won't be able to trust me, after all, when I was on Hengyu Island, I helped Mao Haifeng." ”

Li Cangxing laughed: "Senior Chu, at this time, at that time, at that time, you helped Mao Haifeng, you wanted to cooperate with him and gain a foothold in this southeast, and later since you dissolved the cooperative relationship with him, you will naturally no longer be friends with him, as a martial artist, I believe you will make the right choice." ”

Chu Tianshu nodded: "That's good." The old man will fight with you this time, and you have to arrange what the old man does. Just talking. ”

After Li Cangxing thanked him, his eyes flashed. First of all, let's analyze the current battlefield situation, the number of Japanese pirates is about 30,000, but the combat effectiveness is not too strong, many of them are pirates under Chen Sipan, these people are just fake Japanese who shaved their hair and pretended to be Japanese people, and the real Japanese should be between 8,000 and 10,000. There weren't too many musketeers either, mostly a rabble. ”

"The one who responded to the Japanese was Wu Ping, the helmsman of the Guangdong branch of the original Demon Sect, this person was a giant on the sea, and there were three or four thousand bandits under him, except for the three or four thousand old thieves of Mao Haifeng's personal guard, these people had the strongest combat effectiveness, and most of them were martial arts people, and they would not fight in formation like the regular army, and really encountered General Qi's army. Even if there were 30,000 or 40,000 people in total, they were no match for General Qi's 6,000 elite soldiers. I have full confidence in this. ”

Zhan Mubai suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Li Cangxing." Aren't you already in trouble with General Qi because of the spoils of war on Hengyu Island? Didn't he already take his subordinates back to Zhejiang to recruit new troops, even those of us in the rivers and lakes know this. When did he run to Quanzhou again? The six thousand Qi family troops also went to Quanzhou? ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "This is a strategy that I have already discussed with General Qi, and the Japanese are newly defeated in Hengyu." Most of Mao Haifeng's silver deposit was obtained by us, and his nest was lost. can only gather all his subordinates in Fujian in order to protect himself, but as soon as there are many people, he has to use a huge amount of military salaries and food to maintain, Mao Haifeng is most lacking now is silver, so he has strong strength and enough motivation, he will definitely grab a big deal in Fujian. ”

"But the coastline from Fujian to Zhejiang, and even Guangdong is thousands of miles, if I and the Qi family army have been stationed here for a long time, then the Japanese will only be afraid that they will not dare to make a move here, and they will turn to wander all over the country, from Zhejiang to Guangdong, and divide troops and rob everywhere where our defense is weak, this is our biggest headache, because the sailors of the Ming Dynasty can not fight the Japanese now, if they can't eliminate the Japanese on land, they can only watch them board the ship and escape, which was the case last time in Hengyu, Originally, we had made careful arrangements to attack the island, but we still let Mao Haifeng escape, Mr. Chu, you also experienced this battle at that time, you should know this. ”

Chu Tianshu nodded: "Yes, don't talk about Mao Haifeng, it's the old man, he also got on Mao Haifeng's fast boat and escaped, there was no Ming sailor warship on the sea to intercept him, Mao Haifeng also boasted proudly, saying that as long as he went to the sea, the Ming army couldn't help him." ”

Li Cangxing nodded, and his expression became stern: "So if you want to completely annihilate the Japanese Kou, you can only let Mao Haifeng concentrate all his subordinates and go deep into the interior, but this person has followed Wang Zhi for many years, and he is very vigilant, and he will flee immediately as soon as there is a disturbance, and only by letting him come to a place like Xinghua Mansion and lure him with millions of taels of silver can he be fooled." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, Zhan Mubai gritted his teeth and said: "Li Cangxing, you are really ruthless enough, did you arrange the matter of Xinghua Mansion this time, and deliberately let Mao Haifeng attack?" ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "Zhan Mubai, you are right, the seven million taels of tax silver is a bait, the iron box is full of straw and stones, and there is no one tael of silver, this news is deliberately released by General Qi to let the Japanese spies in the camp, Fujian Province, the Japanese spies are everywhere, the news can not be blocked at all, General Qi's subordinates are all disguised as sailors, and come from Ningbo by merchant ships in batches, in order to confuse the Japanese invaders, they are also scattered actions, some people pretend to be coolies at the dock, and some people pretend to be sailors in Quanzhou Port, There are also some secret exchanges with the local garrison in Quanzhou, because General Qi closely monitored Quanzhou City, so the news of his arrival in Quanzhou did not reveal the slightest rumor, and the Japanese still thought that he was recruiting troops in Zhejiang, so he dared to boldly invade Xinghua Mansion. ”

Zhan Mubai sneered: "Even if the seven million taels of silver are fake, but the tens of thousands of fathers and villagers in this Xinghua City are also fake?" Now I don't know how many people have died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese invaders, and Xinghua City has also been destroyed in the fire, Li Cangxing, this is all a good thing you have done! ”

Li Cangxing said coldly: "Zhan Mubai, put away your set of hypocrisy and false righteousness, mercy is not a general, righteousness is not good, if I want to protect the safety of the lives and property of every coastal people, then the result is exhaustion, and the Japanese can come and go freely on the sea." It's much faster than we can run on land, and the end result is that we can't protect anywhere. It has not been possible to eliminate the Japanese in the past ten years. Isn't that the case in the southeast? ”

Zhan Mubai was speechless for a while, but it can be seen that the idiot master frowned: "General Li, but Xinghua is a city after all, and the Ming Dynasty has never been captured by the Japanese in the city, and there are more than 20,000 fathers and elders in the city. ”

Li Cangxing's face became extremely resolute: "Xinghua is just a house and a place. Compared with the millions of living beings along the entire southeast coast, it is really nothing, if there is a better way to lure the Japanese invaders into the depths, General Qi and I will not make such a helpless move, it is not a secret, this plan is not made by me Li Cangxing, but more than a year ago, the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian Hu personally planned, in the past year or so, we have carried out a series of operations from Zhejiang to Fujian. They are all strictly in accordance with this plan, and now it is the last step, if this time is successful, then it will be able to completely annihilate the Japanese invaders. The rebellion in the southeast, which lasted for more than 20 years, will no longer exist. ”

Zhiyi's face became very solemn: "General Li, aren't you fighting very well in Zhejiang?" And the city was not lost. almost wiped out the Japanese who attacked Taizhou, why did they have to lose Xinghua this time? and they could not set up an ambush in the city. Should the inside be the outside? ”

Li Cangxing shook his head, and a sad look flashed in his eyes: "The situation in Fujian is different from Zhejiang. Although Taizhou in Zhejiang is an important town, but it has been run by the Qi army for many years, the local people are loyal and reliable, and have been sacked by the Japanese for many years, and they hate it to the bone. ”

"The situation in Fujian is not the same as Zhejiang, the people's hearts here are more towards the Japanese Bandits, because the former pirate Chen Sipan is very cunning, and he is also selective in robbing coastal towns, and he has a good relationship with him, and he often does not fight the towns that give him the news, and even divides some of the looted goods, and buys people's hearts with small favors. If they really ambushed soldiers in the city, then the Japanese would definitely know that it was impossible for them to come from the net. ”

The idiot master sighed: "No wonder our monks and soldiers have ambushed the Japanese many times before, and the old man has always been very strange, why these pirates are more familiar with the terrain than the locals who have lived here for a long time, it turns out that there are traitors who have reported to them, these damn thieves, the Buddha will not forgive them." ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "Because of this, we can only sacrifice the people of a city in exchange for the self-surrender of the entire army of Japanese robbers, this is our plan this time, now that the thieves have taken the bait, they still want to continue to set up ambushes and ambush the monks and soldiers of Southern Shaolin, so what we have to do now is to plan and kill these ambushed robbers." ”

Gongsun Hao nodded: "General Li, do you mean that those thieves are ambushing on the hills on both sides of the first-line valley, so let's outflank them, climb the mountains on both sides from behind, and wipe out all their ambush soldiers?" ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "No, in this way, although we can eliminate the ambush soldiers in this line valley, but at best, it is to kill more than a thousand people, if the Japanese Kou know that we are prepared, then the large army will definitely escape, now General Qi is rushing here, Quanzhou came here half a day later than I came from Ningde, so this half a day's time is very important, we need to lure the Japanese Kou's brigade to take the initiative to attack this Southern Shaolin, drag them here, and then wait for General Qi's army to arrive, Naturally, you can attack from both sides and break the Japanese bandits. ”

Everyone cheered in unison, and Xu Linzong suddenly frowned: "General Li, it's just that you just said that the Japanese will not take the initiative to attack the well-defended, easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Southern Shaolin, so how can you lure them to attack?" ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "This requires using the five million taels of silver I brought this time as bait." He turned his head to look at Chu Tianshu, "Gang Master Chu, maybe you have to make a trip to this matter yourself." ”

Chu Tianshu's eyes were blazing, and he didn't say a word.

An hour later, the first line valley outside the South Shaolin, here is as its name, a sheep intestine trail passes through the mountain, the peaks at both ends are four or five hundred meters high, the mountain is high and densely forested, walk in the valley and look up at the sky, there is really only a ray of sunshine, the two clods and stones on the top of the mountain are blown by the wind, fall into the valley, and smash the mud ground and sink out of two fist-sized soil pits that are half a foot deep, which shows the danger of the terrain here.

Mao Haifeng is taking more than 2,000 subordinates, lying on the west side of the valley, his fierce face is full of sweat, he and his subordinates are carrying pine branches, covering themselves well, should not be discovered by anyone from below, and on the other side of the mountain, his sworn friend Lin Yuanzaburo also brought nearly 2,000 people, ambushed in the pine branches and grass.

Mao Haifeng's side was the leopard head with ringed eyes, dressed in a short dress, the leader of the Guangdong pirates like a black iron tower, the helmsman of the Demon Sect, and Wu Ping, who was known as the giant shark of the seven seas in the rivers and lakes, he blinked his eyes and glanced at the sun on his head: "Boss Mao, I don't think the Shaolin thief bald will come, the dog official has been running for two hours, and the Shaolin thief bald is crawling at this time, and he should have climbed there." ”

Chu Tianshu's voice sounded coldly from behind: "The Shaolin thief will not come, but another big fish will take the bait." (To be continued......)
