28 Three days

Hearing Yan Sidao's words, Xie Yixiang was always a little incredulous. Yan Sidao has re-lit a pot of dry smoke, swallowed clouds and spit mist beside the fire, and said with a smile: "Miss Xie San, it seems that this Guigu heir has moved his heart to you!"

Xie Yixiang was stunned for a moment, to say that he had met a son for the first time in Shudi, and reunited twice in Tianshan Mota and Ningyi City. It's just that although this Guigu descendant is handsome and extraordinary, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, one or two years younger than himself, except for that unpredictable wisdom, in the final analysis, he is just a boy with a withdrawn personality and a strange temper.

At this time, hearing Yan Sidao expose the mind of the son in person, Xie Yixiang only felt that his face was slightly hot, and he hurriedly took the conversation away, and asked, "He just said...... At present, we are only a few hundred wounded soldiers, and there are thousands of civilians accompanying us, and it is still unknown whether we will be able to escape the catastrophe in front of us, and how can we be...... How is it possible to defeat the Japanese in three days?"

I saw Yan Sidao puff out a long puff of smoke, shook his head and said: "As I said before, the country of Dongying was originally modeled after Li Tang's system, whether it is political or armament, it has not been aggressive for hundreds of years, so it is not to be feared. Nowadays, when the northern and southern regimes are in opposition, it is the autumn of civil strife, and most of the Japanese who have fled to the Central Plains are the remnants of the defeated Southern Dynasty. And at present, the three forces of 'Zhongjo One Sword Flow', 'Koga Ninjutsu' and 'Kendo Small Soldier' are gathered here, with a total of more than 1,000 bandits, in fact, they are already seven or eight out of ten of all the Japanese in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as long as they are defeated in one fell swoop, the rebellion of the Japanese Bandits in the short term will not be successful, and the remaining little sin only needs to be handed over to the officials from all over the country to clean up. As for the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Eastern Ying and Northern Dynasties, and then the opening of the sea to ban trade, so as to fulfill the promise made by Mr. Aotian and postpone the large-scale Japanese rebellion for 150 years, that is a later story. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Sidao looked up at the stars and moon in the night sky, and said with a smile: "The so-called three-day defeat of the enemy by the little Taoist priest refers to the defeat of the three groups of Japanese robbers at the moment, and the three-day period is ...... Hehe, that's enough. Although I don't know his detailed strategy, I can guess seven or eight times out of ten, although this move is a bit cruel, and I want my soldiers to gnaw this hard bone, but with the current situation, there is no other way to fight the Japanese invaders quickly. In this regard, Miss Xie San can rest assured, and then you and I just need to wait and see what happens, so that we can appreciate the means of this Guigu heir. ”

After listening to Yan Sidao's explanation, the doubts in Xie Yixiang's heart have gradually turned into curiosity, and he really doesn't know how Yizi can defeat the enemy in three days. After thinking about Yan Sidao again, she immediately came back to her senses and blurted out, "You mean to let the little Taoist master plan alone, ...... Do you want to sit idly by?" Yan Sidao said with a smile: "This is your little Taoist priest's own meaning, didn't he tell you to keep an eye on me, lest I interfere in trouble?"

After that, seeing that Xie Yixiang was still at a loss, he had to say again: "It seems that you still don't understand this truth, if you want to exterminate the three gangsters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is a simple matter for me or for the little Taoist; As for the reason why this battle has been held so far, it has put you and me in a critical situation, in the final analysis, it is because the two of us do not trust each other, and even have their own ghosts, and this is also the cunning of Mr. Aota's strategy. Because in his opinion, it is important to quell this rebellion, but if we can take the opportunity to kill each other and end up defeating both, it is undoubtedly a clever move to kill three birds with one stone. ”

As he spoke, Yan Sidao let out a puff of dry smoke, and said with a smile: "This little Taoist priest is acting crazy, he only wants to go against me, and he has no intention of dealing with the Japanese from beginning to end, and he deliberately leaked the news a few days ago, causing us to lose a thousand reinforcements transferred from Fujian. In this way, even if I have the heart to exterminate the Japanese invaders, I will not be able to do anything. Tonight he was provoked by your cry, and finally agreed to make a move, so why should I make a fuss? If I accidentally offended him and made him change his mind, wouldn't it be worth the loss? So as long as I don't interfere, it will be the greatest help to him. ”

After listening to Yan Sidao's words, Xie Yixiang stared at him silently for a while, and he didn't know whether it was true or false for a while. Seeing Yan Sidao lying down beside the fire again, and proudly cocking his legs, obviously planning to rest here, Xie Yixiang was a little relieved, and confirmed again: "You really don't care?"

Yan Sidao shook his head vigorously, bit the dry tobacco stick and said: "In the previous battle of the Heavenly Village, the reason why I joined forces with this Guigu descendant was because I was forced to a dead end by Mr. Qingtian several times, and I had to do it as a last resort in order to protect myself, which is definitely not comparable to these little widows in front of me. Besides, after a conversation tonight, this little Taoist priest and I have completely torn our faces, and it can be said that we are on the same footing, and we will not be able to join forces in this life. ”

At this point, Xie Yixiang had no choice but to give up. She has struggled to support it so far, and the wound left on her shoulder when she led away the Japanese not long ago began to ache faintly, so she got up and went back to the station of the imperial court to rest. Because a big stone in her heart finally landed, she slept until noon on the second day, which was the first day of the "three-day defeat of the enemy" agreed by a son.

However, when I looked around, the remnants of the imperial court and King Heng did not move, and the people who accompanied them continued to stay in the forest to rest, and they all fed their hunger with grass roots and wild vegetables. Xie Yixiang was puzzled, and wanted to go to Yizi to ask, but was stopped by the "Dragon and Tiger Collapse Mountain" waiting in the forest, saying that Yizi was meditating alone in the depths of the forest, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to disturb.

Xie Yixiang knew the ability of this Guigu heir, so he had to forcibly suppress his curiosity and wait at the station with his sergeants. But in the blink of an eye, a whole day passed, and De Yizi still didn't make any moves, so she had no choice but to go to the garrison of King Heng's rebels to find Yan Sidao. Yan Sidao refused to say it explicitly, but said confidently: "What's the hurry? I'm afraid that this little Taoist priest won't make a move until tomorrow afternoon." Xie Yixiang was skeptical, so she had to continue to wait.

This was done until noon on the second day of the agreement, and as expected, just after noon, the son of the first son called someone to spread the word and asked the heads of the two sides to go to the forest for a secret talk. The two generals Chen and Zhu on the side of the imperial court had already died in the battle of Gu Yuncheng, so Xie Yixiang could only come forward alone, and on the side of King Heng, Yan Sidao and General Sun. When the three of them came to the depths of the forest, they were already waiting in a clearing, with a silent expression on their faces, and they could not see any joy or anger. Then the four of them sat on the ground, retreated and began to plot.

Xie Yixiang was extremely curious in his heart, and only waited for a son to tell him about his plan, but unexpectedly, a son asked General Sun to draw the current battle situation map first. General Sun exchanged glances with Yan Sidao beside him, then sketched on the ground with his sword, and explained while drawing: "There are only 476 people left in the entire 'Pingyu Alliance' now, of which 173 are on the court side and 303 on our side, most of them are wounded and sick, and only half of them can fight. There are about 1,100 people in Huoluping, Yingzui Mountain and Luoyandang, who are traveling with them, and they are basically women, children and old people. The day before yesterday, we had crossed the 'Little Cow Ridge' and were in this jungle that stretched for more than 30 miles; because the whole forest was inaccessible, even the locals did not name it, and only went north through the woodland, and then left the boundary of Taizhou Prefecture and arrived in the south of Ninghai County. ”

As he spoke, General Sun marked on both sides of the place where everyone was with his sword, and continued: "The day before yesterday, the two groups of 'Koga Ninjutsu' and 'Kendo Small Soldiers' came to pursue, and there were about 400 people, although they had been lured away by me and Miss Xie San with suspicious soldiers, but at this time they were only about 20 miles away from us at most. If they catch up, with the current situation of our army, the end will only be the total annihilation. ”

Looking at the battle situation map drawn by General Sun on the ground, De Yizi was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Go on." General Sun was slightly stunned, then sketched on the ground again, and said: "One hundred and thirty miles away from our southeast, is where Gu Yuncheng, who fought before, is located. At present, there are at least more than 400 Japanese robbers in the 'Nakajo One Sword Stream', plus the 'Koga Ninjutsu' and 'Kendo Small Art of War' who came to help, there should be a total of six or seven hundred Japanese robbers in the city. According to the situation of the last battle, with the strength of these pirates, if they want to storm the city, they must have 8,000 or even 10,000 troops and horses. ”

Who knew that Kazuko didn't seem to be satisfied, and said again: "Go on." General Sun couldn't help but be a little confused, and asked: "This is the overall battle situation at the moment, I don't know what the chief and the last general will mark?"

As soon as these words came out, General Sun's face suddenly changed greatly, and he muttered, "Yes...... It's Sanmen County in Taizhou Prefecture......" He replied as he cast an inquiring glance at Yan Sidao beside him.

Xie Yixiang next to him was inexplicable, and he didn't know why Sanmen County in Taizhou Prefecture would make General Sun react like this. But when he heard Yan Sidao, he laughed in a low voice: "So far, I don't have to hide it...... Hehe, the little Taoist guessed right, you must know that I have a parallel life, and I always like to leave a hand to make a move, and the support army that was transferred from Fujian before was actually two thousand, but it was a two-way march. Although the 1,000 men and horses of the front army unfortunately died at the hands of the Japanese invaders, the 1,000 men and horses of the rear army survived, and they were stationed near Sanmen County at this moment. ”
