Early the next morning, Zhang Yun asked the army to pull out the camp and go to join Zhao Hu and others. Along the way, Xu Xi gave Zhang Yun a lot of face, she had heard that the soldiers on the march were lonely and unbearable, so she invited a military prostitute to say that this is a lowlier existence than a woman in the Qinglou.

The women in Qinglou at least had a choice, but the military prostitutes had no choice, and most of the military men were rude.

Zhang Yun asked Zhao Hu to arrest these women, probably just to give them to the soldiers...... As soon as he thought of this, Xu Xi couldn't help but feel nauseous, and his pretty face was cold. Zhang Yun didn't know where to provoke this aunt again, but she thought that the day when she was in a bad mood every month had arrived.

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Yun's Chinese army battalion finally arrived at Zhuqian City, and from a long distance, Zhang Yun smelled the sky-high blood in the city. Zhang Yun frowned, lost the interest in entering the city, and camped directly outside the city.

As soon as the camp was set up, Zhao Hu led Wang Zhong in. Xu Xi naturally didn't give the two of them a good look, the two of them smiled, then looked at Zhang Yun, and said: "My lord, a total of 100,000 taels of silver have been harvested in the city of Zhuqian, and there are 1,200 women, of which ......"

"Ahem......" Seeing that Zhao Hu was more and more outrageous, Zhang Yun interrupted with a cough, glanced at Xu Xi with a cold face, and said: "This time you slaughtered the city, I will not pursue you, if you violate it again, I will be punished by military law."

Also, go and pick out those women who are still virgins, scatter and detain them, and wait for them all alive. ”

"Yes." Zhao Hu responded with a smile, and then walked out of the tent.

As soon as the two of them came out of the tent, Xu Xi began to have seizures: "Are you beginning to expose your true nature?" I used to hide it very well, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. ”

Zhang Yun looked puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about?" What did I do? ”

Xu Xi blushed and replied hesitantly: "Aren't you asking people to pick out the virgin just for yourself......

You've let me down so much. ”

Zhang Yun patted the stupid daughter-in-law's head and said with a smile: "My stupid lady, what do you want?" I'm going to give these women who are still in perfect shape to mid-ranking officers who are not married.

As for those who are already married, they are given wives to the lowly soldiers and junior officers. After all, not everyone is like me, who has a wife when they are young. ”

"Oh." Xu Xi blushed, and was happy in his heart, it turned out that he had misunderstood Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun hugged her and laughed: "Besides, you are by your side, where can I look down on those rouge vulgar fans." Moreover, the man of this widow is already short, let alone this woman.

There are even women who reach your waist like children. ”

Xu Xi saw that the misunderstanding was resolved, and in order to make up for the previous misunderstanding of Zhang Yun, he personally cooked a meal for Zhang Yun. After eating the food, the two went around the camp, and then hugged each other and fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

As soon as the retainers of the Kobayakawa family arrived at Chikugo Castle, they heard that Chikuzen Castle had been broken and that it had been slaughtered, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran back. After running for two or three days in a row, he ran back to Sanyuan City.

"How did you guys get back? Didn't you ask you to go and negotiate peace with the Ming army? As soon as a few people came back, they were immediately pulled in by Tomohide Kobayakawa for questioning.

Several people knelt on the ground and cried with tears in their eyes: "Old man, as soon as we arrived at Chikugo Castle, we heard that Chikuzen Castle had been broken, General Haneda was killed in battle, and Chikuzen Castle was slaughtered by the Ming army.

All the women in the city were robbed by the Ming army. ”

"This, this, this, ......" Kobayakawa Tomohide panicked, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "I'll go and ask the young master and lady now, and you will wait here." ”

After that, Kobayakawa Tomohide didn't dare to stop, and ran straight to the mansion of the head of the family.

Kobayakawa Jianxiu and his mother saw this surrendered family elder, naturally they didn't have a good face, and Jianxiu just glanced at him and asked, "What?" Didn't the old man go to negotiate with the Ming army?

How did you end up here in such a panic? ”

Kobayakawa Hidetomo hurriedly knelt on the ground, pretending to be very sad: "Young master, madam, the Ming army has broken through Chikuzen Castle, and General Haneda is also ......"

"What?!" Jianxiu screamed, and then spread out on the chair, as if the bones had been pulled out, and he struggled several times without getting up from the chair.

Kobayakawa Haneda is not only a retainer to him, but more like a brother, and now that he heard that he died in battle, Mihide has already burst into tears.

Brotherly love .... Earnest teachings, all these things, all come to mind one by one. The last time he saw Haneda was two years ago, when Haneda went back to Mihara Castle to visit his children, but he didn't expect it to be today......

As soon as he thought of this, Kobayakawa was furious: "Give me some people, my Kobayakawa family will never surrender to the Ming army!" ”

Kobayakawa Tomohide saw that this was wrong, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Young master, General Haneda is not an opponent of the Ming army, just rely on the old, weak, sick and disabled in our city, if we have a hard confrontation with the Ming army......"

In the end, Kobayakawa Hidetomo stopped abruptly and moved his gaze to Mihide's mother, Kobayakawa Kaguya.

Kaguya heard that Haneda had died, and her heart was also full of grief.

However, she did not lose her mind, but began to reflect that Kobayakawa Haneda was not the opponent of the Ming army, and these guys who were greedy for life and afraid of death were afraid that they would open the city gate as soon as possible.

"Seeing Xiu, I think I will send an embassy again according to what the old man said, and bring treasures to sue for peace with the Ming army." Kaguya stroked his son's back and said softly.

"No, no! I'm going to avenge Haneda! Kobayakawa saw that he roared loudly and angrily, like madness.

"See the show!! Have you forgotten what Haneda taught you? As the heir to the Kobayakawa family, you can't be swayed by personal emotions, you are the future king of this land.

Kings are lonely, they have no friends and they don't need friends. ”

Kobayakawa saw that when he heard his mother's scolding, the figure of the handsome young man appeared in his mind, and Haneda's teachings echoed in his ears, and tears suddenly burst out of his eyes again.

"Mother, I see." Seeing Xiu nodding in response, he turned to Kobayakawa Tomohide and said, "Old family, I will ask you to handle this matter." ”

Jisoo nodded, and then opened his mouth to make his request: "Young master, madam, I heard that the army commander is a womanizer, if he can send the little princess over, maybe the probability of success is greater." ”

"Bang!" Kobayakawa saw that Shu slammed his fist on the chair, his face turned purple with anger, and his chest continued to rise and fall because of anger. He pointed at Tomohide Kobayakawa and roared, "Get out, get out!" Get out of here! ”

Jisoo was about to speak, but Kaguya shook his head again and again, telling him to leave first.

Suddenly, only Kobayakawa Mihide and Kobayakawa Kaguya, mother and son, were left in the main hall. Seeing Xiu's back to his mother, his face was gloomy and terrifying, as a man, he would never allow his sister to wag his tail and beg for mercy from his enemies.

Kaguya looked distressed, and said softly: "Good boy, this is the fate of the woman of our family, since she was born in the Kobayakawa family, she has to dedicate herself to the family." ”

Seeing that Xiu's body trembled and did not speak, Kaguya sighed, and then left the main hall and went straight to a courtyard. In the courtyard there was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, singing and dancing in front of a pond, and playing merrily with the maid.

The woman is like a doll, she looks very delicate, especially the faint smile on her face is always on her face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Kaguya looked at her daughter for more than ten minutes, and finally gritted her teeth and shouted:

"Hexiang, Hexiang, come over here."

Kobayakawa heard her mother's call, turned sideways and threw herself into her mother's arms, and then buried her head in her mother's coquettishness.

"Ouch, my little princess, she's so old, and she's still like a child." Kaguya's tone was reproachful, but his eyes were full of pity.

Kobayakawa Heka raised her head from her mother's arms, stared at her big black eyes, and said, "Mother, you haven't come to play with me for a long time, has your brother's affairs been dealt with?" ”

When Kaguya heard this, a trace of loss flashed on his face, which was fleeting, and then he touched his daughter's head: "Hexiang, now my brother needs your help with something, you won't refuse." ”

Hexiang nodded, and a smile appeared on her fair little face: "Great, Hexiang can finally help my brother." ”

Kaguya touched her daughter's head, and tears flashed in her eyes: "Okay, good boy, Uncle Jisoo will take you to a place in a few days, you just follow him." ”

Kobayakawa nodded repeatedly.

That night, Kaguya dressed up her daughter and dressed her in a black kimono with sleeves, which is usually only worn when they are married.

After finishing the makeup, Kaguya touched her daughter's head, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mother, why are you crying?" Hexiang asked with wide eyes and a curious expression.

"I'm happy, happy ......"

......

Zhuqian City, Zhang Yun camp.

Due to the slaughter of the city by Zhao Hu, the advance of the army after that was extremely rapid, except for the Kobayakawa family, most of the daimyo in the northern part of Kyushu Island surrendered to Zhang Yun, and also offered women and treasures one after another.

Zhang Yun accepted the treasure, and the women were sent to the prisoner of war camp, waiting to be rewarded to middle and high-ranking officers after the war. Less than a month after the troops were dispatched, the entire small half of Kyushu Island was already under Zhang Yun's control.

Of course, the main thing is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi gives the opportunity. Otherwise, he didn't dare to bring such a few people, so he rushed to other people's territory to be arrogant.

Now in the whole of Japan, it is estimated that Tokugawa Ieyasu can pose a threat to Zhang Yun. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu is in the Kanto region, far away from Kyushu Island, and he and he are well water and river water.

The daimyo of Kyushu asked Tokugawa Ieyasu to take action, but he was considered to be a long distance and difficult to travel. And this is the internal affair of Kyushu Island, and he is a Kwantung prince, so it is inconvenient to meddle.

Suddenly, everyone could only move their eyes to the Shimazu family in the south, hoping that the largest prince of Kyushu Island would be able to compete with the Ming army.
