In a border town in the northwest, Pei Shu walked into a courtyard with a cold expression, followed by Qian San, who also had a cold face.

"Have you found out where those would-be robbers came from?"

Wu Xu took a deputy general, looking like he was going out, and happened to bump into Pei Shu and Qian San, so he asked.

Pei Shu shook his head.

"Nearby villagers said that these would-be robbers had appeared in the village out of nowhere in the past year, and no one knew where they came from."

After a night of interrogation, the captured would-be wouldn't say a word, and some of them killed themselves without paying attention.

"Keep interrogating!"

Wu Xu knew that Pei Shu and Qian San had not closed their eyes for several nights, but the stakes were very high, and Wu Xu had no other way.

Pei Shu nodded, didn't even enter the house, and went out directly with Qian San again.

The night before yesterday, a team of fifty or sixty Japanese pirates happened to appear in the village and town where Wu Xu and Pei Shu lived, and except for five or six prisoners, the rest of the Japanese were all exterminated.

It's just that the boldness of these widows shocked Wu Xu and others.

Knowing that the first general of the Celestial Empire had marched here, these would-be robbers still appeared in the villages and towns without fear, which had to make Wu Xu, Pei Shu and others pay attention to it.

There are two of them, and Wu Xu is worried that there will be a second group of Japanese invaders, so he plans to march overnight and reach the northwest border where the Celestial Empire troops are stationed as soon as possible.

When Pei Shu took Qian San to the Yamen cell where the captured Japanese were temporarily held, he saw that several sergeants on the guard were all sleeping on the ground.

A nameless fire rose in his chest.

"Get up, get up, all get up!"

Qian San hurriedly kicked several sergeants on the ground a few times, and then shouted.

Several sergeants saw that it was Master Pei Shupei coming, and they hurriedly got up.

When Qian San saw Pei Shu enter the cell, he hurriedly glared at the sergeants, and then followed in with one of the sergeants who was in charge of the cell key.

The army of more than 1,000 people under the hands of the Chen family father and son is simply idle soldiers, not to mention that they have never been on the battlefield, and the military discipline is even more of a mess, and Qian San even doubts that there are any people practicing these sergeants on weekdays.

Along the way, there were more than 100 sergeants who escaped and were sick and could not continue to move forward, and the remaining 900 sergeants were killed and wounded by more than 20 during this crackdown on the Japanese invaders.

This is also the reason why Pei Shu has been anxious.

Before coming, although Wu Xu and Pei Shu guessed that the Japanese were rampant, they didn't expect that these Japanese were so strong, not to mention the ferocious, one by one they were much more powerful than these soldiers of the Chen family.

This is not even to the area where the pirates are common!

There are still three captured pirates left in the prison, and these pirates can speak the Celestial Empire because they have been robbing in the Celestial Empire for many years.

"Wake them up."

Looking at the three widows who were obviously asleep, Pei Shu instructed a few sergeants on the side.

The first thing to do now is to find the nest of the pirates, and if they don't even know how many of them there are, how can they all be wiped out.

Finally, one of the widows could not stand the torture and began to loosen his expression.

Pei Shu whispered a few words to Qian San beside him, and Qian San asked the widow to be locked up in a room alone.

Hearing that there was a new progress in the interrogation, Wu Xu hurriedly returned with someone.

"It's less than two hundred miles away from the northwest camp, so let's rush overnight and expect to arrive at the camp tomorrow evening."

After listening to Pei Shu's words, Wu Xu excitedly took out the marching map on his body and said.

Pei Shu and the others nodded, and they all felt that General Wu's words made sense.

"Then I didn't go down and give orders."

"I'll go with the lieutenant."

The deputy general next to Wu Xu and Qian San said one after another.

After the two of them left the house, Wu Xu patted Pei Shu's shoulder and said, "Counting the days, Xiaoxi's child has been born for a while, and it is estimated that I will receive a letter from home in a few days!" ”

Pei Shu's always cold face only smiled at this time.

"Okay, don't giggle, hurry up and take advantage of the gap that everyone is cleaning up, sleep for a while, and when you leave for a while, I'll ask Qian San to call you."

Wu Xu patted Pei Shu's shoulder and walked out of the house.

Pei Shu put away his smile, turned into a room, and then slept with his clothes.

On the evening of the second day, Wu Xu and Pei Shu finally arrived at the camp in the northwest with their troops.

The general of the camp used to be Wu Xu's subordinates, so when he saw that Wu Xu personally led the troops to the northwest, tears of excitement were about to fall.

"I've finally met you."

After receiving the news from the capital, he knew that Wu Xu, the first general of the Celestial Empire, was going to come here to pacify, and all the garrisons in the northwest were waiting eagerly.

Wu Xu nodded towards the general and the generals behind him.

Soon, Wu Xu summoned the soldiers of the northwest to discuss the strategy of pacifying the Japanese.

"Now there is a captured Japanese who says he can lead us to find the stronghold of the Japanese Invaders, and I plan to go with my deputy to find out for myself."

Wu Xu said what he had discussed with Pei Shu before and the generals in front of him.

"No, the Japanese are ferocious, and the general has just arrived here, so he doesn't know much about the terrain here, and most of the Japanese are living along the water, so I think I still take someone familiar with the terrain on a trip."

The general who spoke was surnamed Yang, with a single word and a Rui character, and was once Wu Xu's subordinate, and he was the first to raise objections.

Wu Xu glanced at Yang Rui and knew that he was worried about his safety, but he was just ......

"My lieutenant and I are both fresh faces, but it will not make people suspicious, besides, Lao Tzu has been marching and fighting for so many years, and he has even walked through the icebergs and snow, and he is afraid of some water."

Wu Xu insisted and said.

To be honest, except for Pei Shu and Qian San, whether it is the soldiers under the Chen family's father and son or the soldiers in front of Yang Rui in front of him, Wu Xu is not very trusted.

Finally had the opportunity to explore the stronghold of the Japanese Bandits, how could Wu Xu rest assured that he would fake his hands to others, Wu Xu had already planned in his heart, and he had to go this time.

"I'll go with the general, General Yang can rest assured."

Pei Shu knew Wu Xu's thoughts, and couldn't help but step forward and say.

Yang Rui also knew the power of General Wu in front of him, and if he went in person, it must be twice the result with half the effort, and after thinking about it, he could only nod his head and respond.

For more than a year, those Japanese soldiers have been rampant, and the soldiers in the northwest have been struggling, if General Wu can get rid of the Japanese troubles this time, the people in the northwest border will be able to live a stable life again.

When he got out of the barracks, Wu Xu called Pei Shu, but he didn't let him go with him.

"I don't have to say anything about this, my duty this time is to protect your safety, so naturally I will go wherever you go." Pei Shu said without negotiation.
