Prevailing.

In the swaying mountains and forests, there were a few muffled bangs, the treetops shook, and a figure jumped out, dressed in black, wearing a pranya, and threw two kunai at the old man who chased behind him, and jumped on a nearby big tree with a little foot.

"This Xia country Jianghu people...... It's tough! ”

This person is the wind demon Kotaro who left Nagano Castle, originally he took the order of Date Masamune, went to chase and kill the two, after several fights, found that the two of them are strong in martial arts, and their vigilance is also heavy, and they can detect the slightest disturbance.

Several times there was no chance to succeed, so he could only go back to Date Masamune first, but he saw that the city was slaughtered, Date Masamune and Date Sanjie, there must be no chance of survival, and immediately rushed to Yunguo Island, but halfway met the two Xia Kingdom assassins who were in Yujin Mountain before.

The other party didn't say a word, and killed him directly.

After fighting for more than thirty miles from the southeast of Nagano Castle, Wind Demon Kotaro basically did not dare to really fight with the other party, after all, there would be scouts from the Xia Kingdom army at any time on the way, if he was discovered by the other party's scouts and attracted troops, then he basically had no chance to reach Yunguo Island.

In the slanting sunlight of dawn, figures chased after each other, through the woods, and then through the hills, where there were dilapidated dirt roads, and Kotaro Kazemo jumped down the hillside, and the dirt road that stretched down the hillside was far away, and in the distance was the village town that had been burned to ashes.

The Japanese here, men and women, young and old, were all killed, and they were hung one by one on the treetops with ropes.

There was no one left here, but judging by the signs of devastation, there may still be scouts of the army who did not go far, or wandered around.

But it's so close to the sea that you can faintly hear the sound of the waves.

If you go around here, you will have to carry a long way, and the old man behind you, there is another assassin, and you can't say that you have to intercept him.

There was the sound of wind in his ears, and there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Kotaro the Wind Demon retracted his thoughts and turned the corner in front of him.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, almost at a point where the vision ahead is obscured.

In a moment, a scout rode from the corner, with a weapon hanging from his waist and a horned bow on his back, and was watching the movement around him.

Suddenly, Wind Demon Kotaro thought of an idea, and the corners of his mouth grinned: "Hehe, Xia Guoren!" ”

The scout seemed to sense something, turned back on his horse, and a dark shadow swooped down from the tree by the side of the road, only to feel his shoulders tighten, and then the whole man flew lightly forward.

In the next second, in the flipped field of vision, another figure flew forward, he felt that he was being caught, and in a moment, his feet stepped firmly on the ground.

When the vision returned to the right, he saw a gray-haired old man wearing a Central Plains robe in front of him, and immediately thanked him, and at the same time, he also led the other party to speak and distinguish the accent.

"Thank you for your help."

"Hands up!" Liang Guyuan returned the salute, but his eyes kept staring ahead, and he said again: "The Japanese are treacherous." ”

It turned out that the other party threw the scout over just to delay the speed of his pursuit, and now that he was interrupted by this, he lost the figure of the wind demon Kotaro.

The scout heard that the old man's accent was from Wu Di's side, and he was relieved in his heart, as long as it was not pretended to be a widow.

Before they rescued some of the people of Xia who were robbed to the island by the Japanese invaders, most of them were women, of course, there were also some craftsmen, probably some Japanese people saw this, so they pretended to be from the Xia Kingdom, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they would basically be exposed, no matter what he said in Huaxia, the accent could not be changed.

As he spoke, the scout suddenly tilted his head and drew his sword, "Who?!" ”

As soon as the voice came out, the old man next to him pressed the blade, "It's a general in your family." ”

At this moment, a shirtless and bandaged man walked out of the forest behind, his hair and shoulders mixed with a lot of leaves and grass clippings.

"General?" When the scout looked at the person suspiciously, the man had already walked over, "Lu Meng." ”

Immediately, he asked the scout about the progress of the army after landing on the island, and when he heard that Nagano had been broken and Date Masamune was killed by Zhao Yun, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Where are your majesty and the generals now?"

"More than thirty miles northeast from here, they have been stationed on the coast, waiting for the ships of the Zhou Dudu, General Gan and Qi Zhenfu's envoys to come."

"Thanks!"

Lu Meng thanked him, he and Liang Guyuan glanced at each other, the latter nodded, stroked his snow-white beard and smiled: "It's just right, the old man is also a little tired, go and ask Your Majesty for a glass of water to drink, haha!" ”

After the two said goodbye to the scout, they went to the northeast, and the escaped Wind Demon Kotaro also rushed to the southeast coast at this moment, carefully hiding, and waited until the Xia cavalry patrolling the coast left, he dared to come out.

At this time, half an hour had passed, and he followed the route in his memory, found a sea cliff, jumped through the crack, found a small boat that only two people could sit on, rowed wood pulp, and quickly went to another island to the east.

The distance between the islands is not too far, only seven or eight miles apart, and those who are not familiar with this place can easily touch the underwater reef and run aground.

After the wind demon Kotaro, he arrived in the cloud country, which was already under martial law for war, and he took the news of Shikoku Island and hurried to the castle called Heiankyo, which was built by Takeda Shingen.

Backed by the mountain, there are two urn castles on the left and right in front, called Marugui and White Crane, forming the trend of cornering.

On June 18, the news that Nagano Jujo was slaughtered and that chickens and dogs were left behind first entered Marugame and then sent to Heiankyo as quickly as possible.

Although the two islands are adjacent to each other, they are still in a state of confusion about the affairs of Nagano Castle, and even though Date Masamune and him are both daimyos, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu sent people to send news, and Takeda Shingen kept his distance from Date Masamune.

It is obviously not worth offending two other eloquent people for a person who is ambitious, but not outstanding in actual ability.

That's why, the messenger from Nagano Castle came to ask for help, and there was no intention of sending troops here.

However, I have always paid attention to the war that happened over there, but unfortunately, since the Xia army besieged Nagano Castle, any road to the east has been blocked, and even in the mountains and forests, there are scouts patrolling, so that the spies on this side of Yunguo Island have no way to know what is going on behind Nagano Castle.

Subsequently, Takeda Shingen blocked the coast, and at the same time encouraged the people of the city to join the defense of the city against the enemy, and destroyed all the crops and villages around the city, and implemented the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls.

It wasn't until Kotaro Kazema came with the news that Shikoku Island had fallen into a horrific massacre, and that the wilderness, the village town in the mountains, and Nagano Castle, which had vowed to become a harbor city by the sea, were completely destroyed by the sweeping soldiers, and then burned.

Heiankyo went up to Takeda Shingen and down to the common people of the Japanese people, all of whom felt shock, consternation, and fear palpitations in this news.

As a once prominent name, Takeda Shingen is naturally not afraid of anyone, but on the other side, there are Chinese military generals who have only seen and heard in books, and the army they have trained.

Maybe I didn't feel anything wrong before, and I even had the excitement of competing, but when I really faced the soldiers, I suddenly felt panicked.

Heiankyo.

Takeda Shingen sat in the official office, carefully interrogated the wind demon Kotaro, as time went on, the people he sent, came back with more information, sent the other party away, and will recruit the four kings of Takeda: Itagaki Nobukata, Ganli Hutai, Zhujiao Huding, and Iitomi Huchang.

and the four ministers of Takeda: Nobuharu Baba, Masanobu Takasaka, Masaka Masaka, and Naito Masatoyo.

"Dark piles have been laid on the coast, and the fleet of the Xia people can't get close to the coast!"

"We're not going to shrink into the castle like Date Masamune, the Red Reserve is already ready!"

"Send a letter to Oda Nobunaga, we will nail the Xia army here and let him ......"

Takeda Shingen propped up the table with his hands on the table, and listened to the strategy of the four ministers with his eyes closed, the Red Reserve was rebuilt after he came here, and the only pity he felt was that there were too few good war horses.

But the edge of the Xia Kingdom's army, not only did he want to touch it, but the Four Heavenly Kings under his command had already wanted to compete with it.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the trusty eight people standing beside him, and nodded confidently.

"Then do it!"

After discussing for a while, after the eight people left one after another, in the corner of the study, a dark shadow suddenly descended from the beam, and the hanger was leaning against the curtain wall, throwing a bitter no to play.

"Sasuke, the Son of Heaven of the Xia Kingdom has come to the battlefield, are you sure?"

The figure leaning against the wall caught Kuwu's stoppage and slowly walked into the range of the light, his figure was thin, his forehead was wrapped in light green forehead guards, and he was also wearing a close-fitting night suit, but the corners of his mouth were hooked with a cynical smile.

"I can't do it without Sarutobi."

There is something about the army of the Xia Kingdom, this war ninja has long known it from Takeda Shingen, don't look at him as a hanger, he doesn't look serious about anything, but if you really treat it, Sarufei Sasuke is still extremely capable.

"Wind Demon Kotaro, but failed."

"That man...... Tsk, a megalomaniac. ”

After saying that, Sarutobi Sasuke put away the kunai in his hand, stretched lazily, and then threw something on the ground, and suddenly a cloud of smoke rose, and his figure disappeared from Takeda Shingen's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Ahem......" Takeda Shingen choked on the smoke and coughed several times, and his tears were about to choke out, but he was not annoyed, but enjoyed such a cough a little, he slowly got up and pushed the curtain open, "It's good to be alive......"

He died of tuberculosis, but a few coughs reminded him that he was still alive and healthy at the moment.

It's just that he still looks old, and he doesn't understand why the Huaxia Wenwu on the other side is getting younger and younger.

Soon after, he issued a series of orders to arrange hidden stakes on the sea, strengthen Heiankyo, intensify the training of light feet, and gather wandering samurai to form a team of ronin.

At the same time, a letter was sent to Oda Nobunaga in the rear......

The news of the bloody slaughter of the Xia army all the way has spread on Unguni Island, which is a large island, and Azuchi Castle, the castle of Oda Nobunaga, is also being built here.

When the letter arrived, the man, known as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, was admiring his wife, Saito Guidie, who was sitting at the dressing table.

The wind blew in through the window lattice, stroking the hem of her skirt and snow-white hair, she brushed her hair, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

laughed softly: "The concubine is no longer here, why bother calling me here again." ”

"You are my wife, the closest person."

A man named Oda Nobunaga, who was also the greatest of the many daimyos, stood up from the futon, walked behind his old wife, and stroked her white hair.

Soon the letter arrived from outside.

"It's time to go on the expedition, Nonghime wants to pray for me like she did back then!"

The wind blew for eight hundred miles.

At the same hour, on the eastern coast of Shikoku Island, three armies of soldiers and horses, totaling 60,000 people, arrived here one after another and stationed them to rest.

The temporary rest allowed the generals and schools of each army to settle the soldiers, as if they were visiting each other to go back and forth between Youyan, Bingzhou, and Tang Army, which was a kind of post-war exchange in the past.

The tactics of each army against the Japanese will be taught or exchanged with each other.

Dragon Banner Hunting, in the emperor's camp, the three generals of the army and horses took the lead and walked in, in the imperial tent of the Son of Heaven, Jing Wei clearly stood in three groups.

After listening to the reports of the main generals of the army, Su Chen asked Wu Zixun to take two jars of imperial wine that had been prepared long ago, and filled everyone with wine.

Here, Su Chen picked up the wine: "The first battle has been won, and Shikoku Island, one of the Japanese islands, has fallen into the hands of my Great Xia, thanks to the generals and the soldiers who have worked hard to save their lives, I respect you!" ”

"Drink to win!"

The generals in the tent looked serious, took a big sip of the wine in their hands, and their serious expressions immediately dissolved, congratulating each other one by one, boasting about the battle to attack the island.

In the past few years, even if many of them have had grievances, they have now been resolved one by one, and there are more friendships.

"This battle was fought happily, but it was a pity that Kong Ming, who stayed on Tsushima Island, and Yuwen Chengdu." Qin Qiong took the wine and drank it down, "The next step is to let Zhou Yu and Gan Ning come over, by the way, Your Majesty, how will General Guan arrange it?" ”

"Conquer Siguo Island and let Guan Junhou and them stand still, which is to make the Yizhou army in his hands a surprise soldier to attack Yunguo Island!" Su Chen put down the wine and wiped the wine stains on his beard.

Speaking of Guan Yu, we have to mention Lu Meng, who was previously trying to save the Yizhou Army and avoid the annihilation of its entire army.

Lu Ziming...... It's a pity. Wei Chi sighed.

"Yu Chi Heitan, you said it's a pity?!"

A loud voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, making the expressions of the generals in the tent slightly stunned, and Su Chen, who was in the first place, was also stunned, and then all eyes looked at the tent curtain together.

Then, the curtain was lifted, and an old man came in as strode in.

"Lu Meng?"

"General Lu!"

Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong and the others called out each other's names in surprise, and Lu Mengchao, one of the two who came in, smiled at the generals on the left and right, and then stood still in the middle, and arched his hand heavily to the first Son of Heaven.

"Lu Meng meets Your Majesty, and I hereby give orders to Your Majesty!"

The old man on the side also slowly raised his hand: "Liang Guyuan, a citizen of the countryside, please meet Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing that Lu Meng was still alive, Su Chen was already surprised, but when he saw the great grandmaster Liang Guyuan beside him, the surprise became a little confused.

How did these two get together?

In the end, seeing Su Chen's eyes, Lu Meng told everyone in the tent what happened after he fell into the water.

Let everyone call it magical.
