Fenghou

He suspected it was fake, took the pearl to look carefully, and was sure that the pearl was not fake, and the appearance was very good, he suddenly became greedy, and asked quickly: "Where did your pillars come from, and how many are there?"

"Bought from Nanyang, I bought a box, and other goods, all stored in the Guangyuntan warehouse. If you want it, I will take you to pick it. If you pick it, it can't be cheap."

How could Hideo Tanaka let go of this opportunity, the other party didn't understand, he was going to make a fortune, and South Sea pearls were of high quality.

He hurriedly said, "I'll go with you!"

A carriage happened to be coming, Zhong Huan waved his hand, and the carriage stopped.

"Let's go!"

Zhong Huan got into the carriage, and Tanaka Hideo hesitated for a moment, then followed him into the carriage.

The carriage then drove out of Wazi.

Two burly men sandwiched the short Hideo Tanaka on the left and Hideo Tanaka on the right. Hideo Tanaka realized that something was wrong, and he was afraid that he might encounter robbers.

"What... are you doing?" He asked in a trembling voice.

Zhong Huan held up the inner guard sign, "We are inner guards!"

Tanaka Hideo's face turned pale. They would rather meet robbers than internal guards. If they meet robbers, they can save money and avoid disaster. If they meet internal guards, their lives will be in the hands of each other.

"I...I'm just a businessman, not...not a spy!"

Tanaka Hideo was so frightened that his tongue curled up. Zhong Huan was able to recognize people. He could see that Tanaka Hideo was not pretending. Spies will not be so easily fooled, only greedy businessmen will be deceived by such small tricks.

"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer honestly, I'll send you back to the shop as if nothing happened. If you're not honest, then go to the inner guard for interrogation."

Hideo Tanaka nodded nervously.

"We want to know about Iga Tetsuya. Tell me about his background and tell us everything you know!"

Hideo Tanaka lowered his head for a while and said: "He is not a businessman, he is a retainer of the Fujiwara family. I don't know why he came to Jingzhao to do business. Maybe he is doing business on behalf of the Fujiwara family."

"Is he a Japanese intelligence agent?"

"The villain doesn't know. He acts mysteriously. Every time he goes back to Japan, he walks by himself and never joins us. And as far as I know, he sells pearls, seashells, ambergris, etc. I am the same, but in In Japan, the merchants who sell these goods have never heard of him, so the villain is also very strange, where did his goods come from?"

Zhong Huan asked a few more questions, but Tanaka Hideo dared not hide anything, so he answered them all.

Zhong Huan suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "So you are doing business temporarily, right?"

"Exactly, I came to Jingzhao two years ago and rented a small shop in Nandawazi."

"Then do you know a Japanese businessman named Wu'an Qingyuan? He specializes in medicinal materials and speaks Chinese fluently."

Tanaka shook his head, "No, I am familiar with all the businessmen in Lin'an. There is no such person, unless they have just arrived in the past two years, and they are fluent in Chinese. Everyone knows."

Zhong Huan nodded, not only Yihezhe had problems, it seemed that Wu'an Qingyuan also had problems.

At this time, the carriage returned to Nandawazi again, stopped at the gate, and Zhong Huan said: "If you don't want to die, just pretend nothing happened, and I didn't ask you anything, if you tell me Iga Tetsuya, then you are also a Japanese spy."

"The villain dare not, absolutely keep it a secret!"

The inner guard opened the door and carried him out. Once the door was closed, the carriage drove away.

With lingering fear in her heart, Tanaka walked back to the shop with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Back at the inner guard, Zhong Huan ordered: "Send someone to monitor Tanaka Hideo's every move!"

"Follow the order!" A commander of the inner guard left quickly.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "General, Lin'an pigeon letter!"

Chong Huan took the pigeon letter and read it, sneered, and said to Xu Cheng next to him: "The Lin'an government said that they have never issued a business contract for Wu'an Qingyuan, and the business contract he took is fake."

Xu Cheng nodded, "It's very likely that Tetsuya Iga provided it. He knows we are watching."

"I think so too!"

Zhong Huan immediately said to Xu Cheng: "Continue to keep an eye on Iga Tetsuya and Wu'an Qingyuan, don't startle the enemy, especially Wu'an Qingyuan, I believe he will leave the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in a few days!"

The first thousand and 580 chapters capture

In Pyongyang City, Gao Ding and Liu Cui have been waiting for the news from the south. According to the prior deployment, the main force in the north and the main force in the south will outflank and defeat the Japanese army in Goryeo in one fell swoop.

This morning, a messenger cavalry crossed the Datong River.

Liu Cui hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army, "General Gao, do you have any news?"

Gao Ding handed him the military newspaper, "This is Liu Qiong who just sent someone to deliver it, take a look!"

Liu Cui took the military newspaper and read it again. The military newspaper said that [-] Japanese troops were wiped out in Jincheng. He laughed and said, "This is urging us to send troops!"

According to the agreement between the two parties, once the south sent troops to capture Jincheng and cut off the Japanese army's retreat, the northern army could send troops.

Gao Ding and Liu Cui unanimously decided to send troops south the next day...

At dawn the next day, 14 troops set off, leaving [-] troops to guard Pyongyang City. A huge pontoon bridge was built on the Taedong River, and soldiers and horses marched southward.

The Yong army's supply fleet also followed southward. They traveled along the west coast, and their goal was Jianghua Island off the coast of Kaijing. There were hundreds of troops stationed on the island, and the supply fleet also followed [-] troops. They wanted to occupy Jianghua Island in advance. An anchorage for the fleet.

……

This afternoon, a scouting cavalry team of [-] men was galloping southward at a high speed. The leader of the scouting team was Liu Changzhou.

The terrain of Koryo is high in the east and low in the west, with mountains and plateaus in the east and alluvial plains of several large rivers in the west, where the population is concentrated.

However, when the Yong army marched southward, they saw ruins and ruins everywhere, and destroyed villages and small towns everywhere. These were the tragic scenes left by the Jin soldiers' invasion.

"General, why does it feel the same as we checked the place where the outbreak broke out?" a subordinate whispered.

Liu Changzhou shook his head, "We can't control these, our mission is to detect the enemy's situation!"

At this time, two sallow, emaciated little girls in ragged clothes came out, at most seven or eight years old, and stretched out their hands to beg for food.

"Give them a bag of biscuits!"

The soldier took out a bag of dry food and handed it to them, and the two little girls took it happily. Liu Changzhou said to the soldier next to him, "Ask them, have you seen any other troops in the past two days?"

The soldier asked a few words in Korean, which was originally a casual question, but unexpectedly the two little girls nodded.

Liu Changzhou was overjoyed, and took out another bag and said, "Ask them, when did it happen, how many people were there, and where did they go? Is it their Korean army?"

One of the little girls pointed to another small road and said a few words. The soldier translated: "They said that when it was getting dark yesterday, there were two or three hundred people who were not soldiers from their country. They couldn't understand what they said. They were all small and headed northeast."

Liu Changzhou immediately realized that this was the Japanese army, and he asked again, "Where do we go that way?"

The older girl said a few words, and the soldier translated: "She said that you can go to the county town over there, and those soldiers are here to grab food."

Liu Changzhou gave the bag of dry biscuits to the two little girls, and ordered: "Let's go!"

Everyone turned their horses and ran towards Michuan County...

The role of scouts is extremely important. They not only spy on the enemy's ambushes along the way, but also detect the distribution of the enemy's army, as well as the enemy's equipment, logistics, and other information.

Liu Changzhou led his men to the south, and one of his most important responsibilities was to find out the enemy's equipment and logistics.

Catching the enemy's spies is the best way.

Michuan County is a small county with a population of 3000 and less than [-] households who make their living from farming.

More than 200 Japanese army grain collection teams killed Michuan County, and more than 100 Japanese army raped and looted in the county. Until the next morning, they robbed more than [-] carts of grain. There were more than [-] young and beautiful women who were thrown into the cart with their hands tied behind their backs.

Satisfied, more than 200 Japanese soldiers drove their carts towards Kaijing.

Not long after they were on the road, dense crossbow arrows were shot from a forest, and dozens of people fell down immediately. The Japanese soldiers turned pale with fright, jumped off the bullock cart and yelled, and suddenly killed more than 100 Yong soldiers from the forest. Although there were only more than 100 scouts, their momentum was astonishing. The horseshoes stirred up billowing yellow dust and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers like a gust of wind.

These Japanese soldiers were also fierce. Although they were infantry, they were not afraid of the opponent's cavalry, so they raised their spears and charged forward desperately.

However, the fierce battle between the two armies does not mean high morale. Fierce combat can determine the outcome, especially the scouts of the Yong army are also brave and good at fighting. At this time, weapons and equipment and training level are the key to determining the outcome.

Japanese pirate soldiers are generally short, with a body of about 1.5 meters. They wear simple leather armor, hold spears, and carry Japanese swords around their waists. The sharp double-edged sword, with a murderous aura, almost pressed the opponent to fight. In just a moment, more than 1.8 Japanese soldiers were killed, and the remaining dozens of people finally collapsed and turned around to flee. In just a moment, the cavalry surrounded them.

Dozens of people knelt down and raised their hands in surrender. Liu Changzhou shouted, "Hand them over to the people in the city!"

The scouts confiscated the enemy's weapons, took off their armor, and tied them in a string behind their backs, leaving only the three leaders outside the city for soldiers to guard.

The scouts cut the ropes of the captive women, and the interpreter soldiers said a few words to them. Only after dozens of women regained their composure, they ran towards the city.

The scouts followed closely behind and drove their carts towards the county seat. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the county seat, they saw people standing darkly at the gate of the county seat.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they peed out and begged desperately, but it was useless. The scouts picked up one in each hand and threw it in front of the people, and retreated one after another.

I don't know who shouted, thousands of people rushed up like a tide, surrounded dozens of Japanese soldiers, and beat them down like rain with hoes and sticks. In just a moment, more than 50 Japanese soldiers were beaten to blood. , out of human form.

At this time, dozens of elders knelt down and kowtowed. An old man who could speak Chinese said loudly, "Thank you to the soldiers of the kingdom of heaven for coming to save us. I implore the army of the kingdom of heaven to sweep away the Japanese demons and protect our homeland!"

Liu Changzhou nodded and said, "Gaoli has always been our brother. Protecting the people of Goryeo is protecting our own compatriots. These grains belong to you and should be returned to you."

The people in the city were very grateful and kowtowed to thank the benefactor for saving their lives. Liu Changzhou asked the soldiers to return all the carts to them. The people were overjoyed and drove the carts back to the camp.

Then he returned to the main force with the three captured Japanese army leaders.

When it was getting dark, they came to the garrison camp and handed over the three prisoners of war to special soldiers for further interrogation. The information they needed had been obtained.

At this time, Hu Yun, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, came to Korea as the emperor's special envoy. Because he had the title of Tongzhong Shumen, he was actually the prime minister.

The army of the Yong Dynasty could only destroy the Japanese army and disarm the Goryeo army, but to completely take down Goryeo, it had to rely on politics.

Hu Yun discussed the next battle strategy with Gao Ding and Liu Cui in the big tent.

Although Hu Yun is a senior official of the imperial court, he does not interfere with military affairs. This is because he puts forward his own suggestions as a military adviser, and it is Liu Cui and Gao Ding who make the final decision.

The scout leader Liu Changzhou reported the situation in Michuan County to them.

"The soldiers of the Japanese army are poorly equipped, far inferior to our equipment, and they are short in stature, and many soldiers are barefoot, but they are generally fierce, mainly because they think that they are protected by the gods, and they are not afraid of death. , although it will be defeated by us in the end, but it is indeed a bit like a difficult brat."

"Does Commander Liu have any good suggestions?" Gao Ding asked with a smile.

"Humble job has an idea. Since the other party worships a god, we might as well use his own way to return his body."

"How to say?" Hu Yun was also interested.

"We can shock them with a large iron fire mine, make them think that we have Thor to help, believe that this will destroy their confidence."

The first thousand and 580 chapters of Thor

Thirty miles south of Kaijing, the capital of Goryeo, is a large river called Imjinshui. Outside the estuary of Linjinshui is Ganghwa Island. At present, the supply fleet of the Yong Army has arrived at Ganghwa Island, but they cannot enter Imjinshui.

To get supplies, the Yong army had to control the Linjin water, but there were [-] Japanese troops stationed on the north bank of the Linjin water estuary, and the Yong army had to annihilate these [-] Japanese troops in the first battle and control the north bank of the Linjin water.

This task was handed over to Liu Cui, who led an army of [-] troops and marched southward from the west in two routes.

There is a small county near the entrance to the sea, called Linjin County, where [-] Japanese troops are stationed, and the chief general is Yuan Weiyi, the deputy general of the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese army had received the news that the main force of the Yong army was going south, but the Japanese army was not afraid. Instead, everyone was looking forward to a decisive battle with the Yong army.

Yuan Weiyi was even more eager to try. In the morning, he got the news that a Yong army of tens of thousands of people was coming to kill him. He made a decisive decision and immediately led an army of [-] to fight.

The two armies met thirty miles west of Kaijing, and the two sides formed a formation two miles apart.

Liu Cui shouted: "Please Thor!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The drums in the Yong army's camp were loud, and the soldiers stepped aside one after another, only to see a five-foot-tall god coming out of the team. It was a skeleton made of bamboo and covered with cowhide by craftsmen. , and sewn with cloth to make a huge god, with four big characters "Jianyu Leishen" written on the chest.

Jianyu Raijin is the Japanese god of thunder and also the god of war, with an extremely high status.

Although it's a bit funny, many Japanese generals recognized these four Chinese characters and exclaimed, "It's Jianyu Leishen!"

The news spread throughout the entire Japanese army, and every soldier was terrified. The opponent was the Central Plains army. How could they invite the Japanese Thunder God?

The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became weird. At this moment, the soldiers hiding in Thor's body stirred the mechanism, and the giant Thor's arm slowly waved.

"Thor has moved!" Thirty thousand soldiers exclaimed.

A general urged Liu in a low voice, "Do you want to try it first?"

Liu Cui shook his head, "Wait a little longer, wait for them to attack, send an order, and the crossbow army is ready!"

The [-] Yong army infantry turned into a large formation of crossbow troops, squatting together and raising the crossbow with divine arms.

Sure enough, when Yuan Weiyi saw that his soldiers were in doubt, he suddenly flew into a rage. Could a statue be made of Thor?

He swung his knife and shouted: "Kill!"

The [-] Japanese army mobilized, shouting loudly, and rushed towards the Yong army like a tide.

The soldiers of the Japanese army ran fast, getting closer and closer, and had already rushed into the [-]-pace line. The north wind was blowing today, and the wind was quite strong. Taking advantage of the wind, the arrows would shoot farther.

"Shoot!" Liu Cui ordered coldly.

Twenty thousand crossbow arrows were shot at the same time, and the blackness rushed towards the enemy like a large black cloud.
