Du Gu and Lin Heshui have been partners for a long time, and they don't know the other party's calculations, so they hurriedly pretended to be reluctant: "Although the words are good, but Zheng Zhilong actually dares to send troops to offend the king's division, I will definitely give the Ming Dusi Lord and ask the court to give an explanation!" ”

"Lord Du, the court will fight a lawsuit in the future, but how can these thousands of soldiers be innocent? Why bother to kill and injure so many people for a little misunderstanding? Lin Heshui hurriedly said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"This-!" Du Gu pretended to be poor by Lin Heshui's reasoning, and hesitated for a while: "Okay, I don't bother to care about so much, you can discuss it with this Goto, anyway, I only have two conditions, first, they must hand over all weapons and ships; Second, there must be an explanation for the casualties this time, Zheng Zhilong has to have some blood! ”

Goto Goro also saw that Yiwen and Wuwu in front of him were playing a trick with black and white faces, but it is human nature to be good at life, evil and death, not to mention that if the other party lets him go back to persuade Zheng Cai to surrender, his mouth is on himself, whether to continue to fight or persuade Zheng Cai to surrender is his own freedom, so why fight to the death here? He thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "What about the conditions?" ”

Lin Heshui turned his head and saw Du Gu nodding slightly, understanding that the other party signaled that he just spoke, so he smiled and said: "First, Mr. Goto first orders his subordinates to lay down their weapons, and then you can select five entourages to escort you back, and before Mr. Goto returns, we will never harm the prisoners!" ”

"Good!" Goto Goro nodded happily, the condition proposed by Lin Heshui was unexpected, the remaining remnants of his army were already the enemy's meal, and he was not qualified to bargain with the enemy, and these prisoners were also hidden as hostages to let him go.

"Second, whether Zheng Cai agrees or not, you must come back, as long as you come back, we will never hurt your subordinates!"

"This-" Hayashi's second condition is quite intriguing: if Goto Goro returns, he will never harm the captives, so what if he does not return? Goto Goro naturally heard the unspoken subtext, he thought for a while, and asked, "If you receive the favor of Lord Yiguan under Xia, even if you die, you will never send a single arrow to Lord Yiguan." ”

"This is easy to say, so let's do it, we will never force you and your subordinates to do anything that harms Zheng Zhilong's department, what do you think?"

"Okay, I'll promise you the second condition!"

"Third, you tell Zheng Cai for me, I will give him three days to consider, as long as he is willing to hand over his weapons and the remaining ships, until he retreats to the mainland, I can provide them with the food they need, and allow them to be stationed on the Long Arm Headland, and will not send troops to attack him."

Goto Goro didn't answer immediately, he thought for a while and asked, "Then dare to ask, if my lord agrees to your conditions and hands over the weapons and the rest of the ships, will you break the contract and attack our army?" ”

"Hahaha!" Without waiting for Lin Heshui to speak, Du Gu on the side suddenly laughed: "Mr. Goto, we have already opened the plate, it shouldn't be the Zheng family's business." However, you should know that on this island of Taiwan, it is difficult to move an inch without a boat. His fleet was attacked this time, and even if you have some food left, how long will you be able to hold out? The army will disperse if there is no food, and at that time, even if you are covered in iron, what can you do? To do it or not to do it, you can decide in a word! ”

Goto hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go!" ”

"Good!" Du Gu slapped his palms and smiled: "Come on, get wine, I want to give Mr. Goto a strong trip!" ”

When Goto Goro saw Zheng Cai again, he was standing on the beach, looking at the wreckage on the sea in front of him. "A beautiful victory, isn't it?" Zheng Cai didn't have any expression on his face, and muttered to himself: "There are only four boats left, four small boats that go out to fish, and those dog mongrels only leave us with four boats!" He cried out almost hoarsely.

Goto Goro turned his head, the appearance of his boss made him sad and a little relieved, at least Du Gu didn't lie to himself, it is true that he has fallen into a desperate situation, so his task is easier to complete.

"Your Highness!" Goro Kato tried his best to say in an emotionless tone, "The enemy general asked me to bring you a message—"

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Cai raised his head and interrupted Goto's words: "You mean that the enemy general asked you to talk?" Didn't you escape? ”

"Your Highness, after the commander of the army was broken, he fought to the last moment-"

"Enough!" A frantic expression appeared on Zheng Cai's face: "What did you say to lead the army to retreat, but it turned out to be that the dog thief surrendered." You still claim to be a samurai of the Goto family, phew! Speaking of this, Zheng Cai spat violently on the ground.

Goto Goro's deadwood face showed a hint of angry flush, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest and said word by word: "Your Highness Cai, no matter what you think of me, I will bring the words that the other party asked me to bring." ”

"Good, good!" Zheng Cai said angrily and funny: "I want to listen to what good words can come out of the mouth of you, a traitor!" ”

Goto's chest rose and fell sharply, and he tried his best to say in a calm tone: "He is willing to give you three days to consider, as long as you are willing to hand over your weapons and the remaining ships, he can provide you with the food you need, and also allow you to be stationed here, and will not send troops to attack you." ”

"Hahaha!" Zheng Cai suddenly laughed: "Your Highness Goto, you Japanese samurai are changing masters so fast, how long has it been since you have been working for the new master?" It seems that the Chinese army who claims to be the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Department of the Ming Dynasty treats you well, what kind of official did you give? Put the total? Or is it a thousand presidents, is it a garrison? Could it be Toji? Looks like I should call you an adult? ”

Goto Goro closed his eyes tightly, let Zheng Cai taunt, and after about half a sound, he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Cai, I admit that I ordered my subordinates to lay down their weapons because I don't want to die, after all, your own team has gone far, and the enemy army has been unable to catch up, and it is no longer meaningful to continue fighting, it is just a waste of soldiers' lives." As for me to bring the message for the enemy general, it is because if I refuse, he can still send someone else to bring the message, and I can at least plan for you again! ”

Zheng Cai snorted coldly: "Plan for me?" Okay, so how do you plan it? ”

"Then it depends on what you plan."

"Intended?" Zheng Cai glanced at Goto Goro vigilantly, in his eyes, this Japanese samurai who was still relying on Gancheng not long ago has become a traitor, if it weren't for some use, he would have thrown three knives and six holes into the sea to feed the sharks: "What do I have to do, you tell me what you think first!" ”

Seeing Zheng Cai's actions, Goto Goro only felt a chill in his heart, knowing that the other party had regarded himself as a traitor, and the sharp pain in his crotch made him frown: "I suggest that you first show weakness, send someone to negotiate with him to delay time, send someone to return to Anping in a small boat at night to inform Lord Yiguan of the situation here, and at the same time send someone north to the Potbelly Kingdom, secretly form an alliance with the local barbarians, and strive to obtain support in terms of food, if it can be done, then retreat north overnight, as long as you enter the scope of the Potbelly Kingdom, There is nothing the enemy can do with you! ”

"Retreat north to the Potbelly Kingdom and make an alliance with those cannibals?" Zheng Cai showed a look of disdain on his face, but he barely spoke: "Do you think I will believe your stupid words?" ”

"Anything else to say?"

"If you can't unite with the Potbelly Kingdom, then accept the enemy's conditions, the sooner the better!" Goto Goro said: "Without the fleet, it is too dangerous here, if you stay here, the longer you stay, the more bad it will be for Your Highness!" ”

"I see!" Zheng Cai sneered: "Come on, please go down and rest!" As soon as the words fell, the two pro-soldiers walked up to Goto Goro's side and sandwiched him in the middle, not so much "please" as an escort.

Goto was escorted to a tent, and as far as the eye could see, there were traces of burning fire, and he couldn't imagine what caused it. He looked around, and in the tent lay a wounded man, almost mummified, lying on the damp clay, as if he was not breathing. He moved over cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Where did the wounds on your body come from?" ”

"Fire, fire!" The wounded man was lying on the ground, his eyes wide, but his eyes were not like looking at Goto, but at something on the top of the tent, Goto Goro looked up at the top, and only saw a few holes, from which the moonlight fell.

"What fire? Where did the fire come from? Goto tried to figure out what had happened in the wounded man's absence, but the wounded man just muttered about the fire, as if he was not aware of Goto's presence. In the end, his patience finally reached the limit, reached out and grabbed the wounded man's shoulder, and asked sharply: "I know that there is fire here, I am asking you how you are angry here, what the enemy used to make this place burn, answer my question!" ”

The wounded seemed to be stimulated by Goto's actions, and he let out a desperate scream, his eyes wide, as if something terrible was happening before his eyes. At this time, several people rushed in from outside, pulled Goto Goro away from the wounded, and shouted: "Why are you doing, everyone is going to die, so you can't let him be quiet for a while?" ”

"I, I just wanted to ask him what happened here, how did he end up like this?"

"What else?" One sneered and pointed to the sky: "The fire fell from the sky and burned everything, if you were here at that time, you would be the same as him!" ”

The wounded man was finally quieted down by the others, still lying on the muddy floor, his eyes looking at the two holes in the top of the tent, and muttering the word fire in his mouth. Goto sat on the other side of the tent, looking at the wounded on the ground, without saying a word. He didn't know how much time had passed, he suddenly noticed that the wounded man had stopped speaking, he thought that the other party had fallen asleep at first, but he felt that it was wrong, and when he walked over to look, he found that the other party had already lost his breath, and a pair of eyes were staring at the hole in the top of the tent.

"Hey!" Goto Goro sighed, he stretched out his hand to close the eyes of the deceased, and put his hands together and chanted the Buddha: "All sentient beings, like a cool pool that can fill all those who are thirsty and needy, like cold and fire, like the naked get clothes, like a merchant who gets a master, like a son who gets a mother, like a ferryboat, like a sick man who gets a doctor, like a lamp in the dark, like a poor treasure, like a people who get a king, like a guest who gets the sea, like a torch that removes the darkness, so that all sentient beings can be free from all suffering, all sickness, and can free all the bonds of life and death." ”

On the hillock, Du Gu looked coldly at the enemy camp not far away, it was already the third watch. He looked back and saw that the cavalry had formed a sparse horizontal formation, and behind them were infantry teams armed with spears, all of whom were ready to stop, now waiting for the signal. He picked up the horn hanging from his waist and blew it so hard that the sound of the horn pierced the night sky and almost made his chest vibrate. The cavalry rushed down from the hillock like a torrent of steel, and the rumbling hooves of the horses almost drowned out the shouts of killing. The cavalrymen were clad in iron armor, one out of every ten men carrying torches, while the rest carried axes, bones or machetes, sharp steel blades and heavy weights strong enough to cleave bones and tear armor.

The sentry was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, the day's marching and fighting had exhausted him, and when he opened his eyes, the cavalry at the front was only twenty paces away from him, which could be said to be a blink of an eye for a galloping war horse, he subconsciously turned his head and ran, the axe slashed his neck firmly, cutting off the cervical vertebrae and tendons, and his head flew out more than a dozen paces away, and the headless corpse that fell to the ground splashed with muddy water.

The camp has turned into a battlefield, no, it would be more accurate to say that it is a slaughterhouse. One tent after another was set on fire, and flames shot into the sky, swords and swords everywhere. The cavalrymen cut down those who tried to resist or flee, and threw torches at the tents and everything they thought was worth burning, and the lucky ones who escaped the cavalry were so frightened that they faced the infantry behind, and their spears pierced the flesh like a leather bag full of wine, except that from the breach came not wine, but red blood.

When Zheng Cai was awakened, it was already late, and in order to relax his nervous mood a little, he even drank some wine. He grabbed his saber and rushed out of the tent barefoot, shivering at the bitter wind, but the sight made him shudder even more. The fire was blazing, the sound of drums, trumpets, birds, the neighing of horses, the clashing of weapons, the wails of dying men, and everything seemed so far away that it seemed as if he were a bystander rather than a commander on the attacked side. In an instant, he understood everything, that Du Gu let Goto Goro come back not to tell himself the conditions of surrender, but to paralyze himself so that he could sneak attack at night.

"No-" Zheng Cai let out a desperate shout, his heart was full of remorse, why didn't he even think of such a simple thing, didn't Gorou already tell himself that without a fleet, it would be too dangerous to stay here? (To be continued.) )
