At the same time when Tian Xiaoji was dispatching troops and the Sino-Korean coalition forces were mobilizing in a big way, the army of the northern front, consisting of the 7th, 8th, and 9th divisions of Japan led by Takasugi Shinsaku and Kido Takayoshi, was rushing from the north of Pyongyang to the place where Yoshida Matsuyin was besieged.

At the urging of the commander of the Japanese invasion of Korea, Ito Hirobumi, the Western Front Army, composed of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army led by Ryoma Sakamoto and Takamori Saigo, also advanced rapidly from the west of Pyongyang and moved closer to Yoshida Shoyin.

The Japanese army from two directions is fierce, intending to come to relieve the siege of Yoshida Matsuyin.

In other words, the two armies of the Japanese army were originally holding back their strength to fight with the army of the Eastern Front led by Yoshida Shoin to see which army could reach Pyongyang City first, but when they heard that Yoshidabu had occupied Kaesong and had marched to the periphery of Pyongyang City, they already knew in their hearts that this first place should belong to Yoshida Shoyin.

Speaking of the origin of this Yoshida dwarf, I have to talk about the height of the Japanese, in this period, the average height of the Japanese is not high, not only not high, but also very short, so, in today's China, there is such a joke, that is, if someone has an enmity with whom, and the enemy's height happens to be not very tall, then, when that person has a quarrel with the enemy, that person will scold the enemy for the Japanese dwarf to vent his anger.

It can be seen that the role of this Japanese dwarf in the Chinese people is really not small.

Just when Takasugi Shinsaku and others lamented that Yoshida's little man was really lucky, the two armies inexplicably received a distress signal from Yoshida Shoin, to the effect that the first, second, and third divisions led by him were surrounded by the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces in a dangerous place outside Pyongyang, and they were in urgent need of rescue, so they asked the two armies to help.

Hearing this news, Sakamoto Ryoma on the Western Front and Takasugi Shinsaku on the Northern Front were surprised, and they were surprised because, first, the Chinese army had entered the DPRK, which was beyond their previous expectations, and second, since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese army's national strength and military strength have increased greatly, and wherever the Japanese army went, it was invincible and invincible, but now it was surrounded by others, which was really surprising, and, to be sure, Yoshida Shoin was not joking, what he said must be true, there will be no falsehood, This can be glimpsed from the urgent distress signal.

However, an accident is an accident, but it is still necessary to save people, Takasugi Shinsaku on the northern line and Yoshida Shoin usually have a lot of contacts, and their personal relations are also very thick, so when they heard that Yoshidabe was surrounded, regardless of 3721, they did their best to come to the rescue.

And Sakamoto Ryoma and Yoshida Shoin on the Western Front have always had a dislike, so when he heard that Yoshidabe was surrounded, he was surprised, but he was secretly happy for a while, thinking to himself, it would be good to let Yoshida, the old boy, suffer, lest he always have eyes on his forehead and take people seriously, and he also believes in the strength of the Japanese Imperial Army, which Yoshida Shoin can be eaten so easily, so he is not in a hurry, and commands the army to slowly move towards Yoshidabe, until he receives the order from Ito Hirobumi urging him to hurry up and enter the army. He panicked at this time, it turned out to be so dangerous, this old boy was so useless, he was defeated in the hands of the Zhina, it was really useless.

Jokes aside, Sakamoto Ryoma did not dare to disobey Ito Hirobumi's orders, so he led his army to rush towards the direction of Yoshida Shoin's siege.

Saving people is like fighting fire, the Japanese army is non-stop, and it is getting closer and closer to the place where Yoshidabe is trapped.

On the side of the Taiping Army, after withdrawing the Seventh Army from the besieged Yoshidabe, Dongfang Bufu set up camp about twenty miles from Yoshida Shoin, blocking the way of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Divisions led by Takasugi Shinsaku and Kido Takayoshi.

I have to say that the Japanese army led by Takasugi Shinsaku ran really fast, and it was really not a personal friend of Yoshida Shoin, but unfortunately, no matter how fast he ran, he still had to meet Dongfang without confusion, and if he met Dongfang without confusion, it was useless to run fast.

On the way to go, Dongfang Bufu ordered the army to set up camps, build fortifications, and block the way of the Japanese army.

"General, look at the banner, it seems that there is the Taiping Army in front, they seem to be prepared, what should I do?" Kido Takayoyo, who led the army with Takasugi Shinsaku, came to Takasugi Shinsaku's side and said.

"That's right, if it's really the Taiping Army, it seems that this time, Brother Yoshida is really planted in the hands of the Taiping Army." Takasugi Shinsaku knows a lot about Yoshida Shoin, and this friend of his is good at everything, but it's not good to underestimate the enemy.

Moreover, this is good, a light enemy, fall into someone else's trap, and it is difficult to save it.

"So what do we do? Rush over?" Kido Takayo looked at the deep fortifications of the Taiping army, and his scalp was a little numb.

"Rush over? Isn't that looking for death? Wait a minute, let me think about it." Takasugi Jinsaku heard Kido Takayo say that he was going to rush over, and he couldn't help but glance at him, and said angrily.

Kido Takayoyo saw Takasugi Shinsaku attack, shrunk his neck, and didn't dare to speak again.

Speaking of the relationship between Takasugi Jinsaku and Kido Takayo, it is also very interesting, they are a very interesting pair, Takasugi Shinsaku belongs to a class of people who are both wise and brave, whether it is talent, or martial arts, it is well-known in the Japanese military circles, and Kido Takayo is outstanding in force, is the first warrior in the Japanese military circles, and can also be said to be the first warrior in Japan, the only bad thing about Kido Takayo is that this person has no brains, and he is reckless, in the final analysis, he is a brave man.

This can be seen from the above conversation, this Kido Takayo is indeed a reckless man, but, his life is good, he was lucky to meet Takasugi Shinsaku, and became a partner with Takasugi Shinsaku, there is Takasugi Shinsaku by his side, supporting him, he himself is the first warrior in Japan, and he can't do anything.

In any case, these two people can also be said to cooperate tacitly and complement each other, and have achieved a lot of immortal achievements as a result.

Encountering the Taiping army blocking the way, Takasugi Shinsaku ordered Kido Takayoya to stop the army first, temporarily set up camp here, and then think about how to break the enemy.

At the same time, the Taiping Army's Tanma had also reported the situation of the Japanese army to Dongfang Bufu.

After Dongfang was not confused, he smiled and shouted: "Come on, take the drape, let's go and meet this Takasugi Jinsaku and Kido Takayo for a while."

He has already learned from the intelligence department that this Kido Takayo is known as the first brave in Japan, and for a person who is obsessed with martial arts, it makes him happy to meet a good opponent more than anything else, besides, this opponent is still Japanese, and he can let go of his hands and feet and ravage it unscrupulously, isn't it a very happy thing.

Besides, at this time, Dongfang is not confused, he is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past, after so many years of military career training, his frizzy air has been slowly smoothed out, and his face has a little more wisdom, and he is no longer a reckless man.

At this time, he said that he was going to meet Takasugi Shinsaku and Kido Takayoshi for a while, not simply thinking about meeting the first Japanese warrior for a while, but more importantly, he wanted to take the opportunity to explore the reality of the Japanese army and prepare for the next move.

Dongfang did not confuse the army, and ordered a general to guard the village, and he himself led 20,000 horses and horses to challenge the Japanese army.

"General, there are people outside the village who are challenged." Takasugi Shinsaku and Kido Takayoshi were discussing something important when a small school came in to report.

"It's interesting to come to the door to challenge, who has the courage to come here to challenge." When Kido Takayo heard that someone had taken the initiative to challenge him, he was not angry but happy, and said with a smile.

Kido Takayo's hands are also a little itchy.

"The other party claims to be the Taiping Army." The Colonel is cautious.

This little colonel knows the temper of their general too well, for fear that if he says something wrong, he will provoke a burst of scolding, so every action and every sentence he makes is as practical as possible, and when it comes to benefits.

"The Taipings? Why is it this Taiping Army again, I haven't gone to look for them yet, they actually took the initiative to come to the door, okay, okay, it's really good, then I'll go and meet this Taiping Army for a while, and see what they are capable of." Kido Takayoshi heard that it was the Taiping Army, and he was even more angry.

"Alright, we know, you go down." Takasugi Jinsaku knew a lot about Kido Takayo's thoughts, and he waved his hand to let the little school retreat first.

The little colonel was relieved, saluted the two, and then retreated.

"Kido-kun, itchy hands?" Takasugi said with a smile.

"General, you still know me, yes, I can't rule out a little itchy hands, but, most importantly, the other party is from the Taiping Army." Kido Takayo seems to be very uninterested in the people in the Taiping Army, as long as he mentions the Taiping Army, he gets angry.

"Okay, it's okay to go, you have to go anyway, it's better to go early if you're late, you go, but you have to remember, don't despise your opponent too much, be careful, Yoshida-kun is a good example, people who despise people will have to pay a price after all." Takasugi Jinsaku admonished.

Takasugi Jin is cautious as a human being, and rarely despises his opponents, so in his life, the people who are his opponents are either dead or have changed careers, because Takasugi Jinsaku is their nightmare.

"Yes, General, I can save it, and if I don't have anything else to say, then I'll go." In Kido Takayo's mind, Takasugi Shinsaku is his mentor and friend, if there are still some people in this world that he needs to respect, then Takasugi Shinsaku is definitely second, and the first is his so-called Emperor Majesty.

"No, be careful, go ahead." Takasugi Shinsaku waved his hand and admonished again.

"Yes." Kido Takayoshi took the order and withdrew.

Then, Kido Takayo was also neatly draped, leading 10,000 soldiers out of the village, and greeted him towards the east. (To be continued.)
