Chapter 961 Hong Fu Nu’s Arrangements

Hongfu Nu nodded and said, "What you said is absolutely correct, so I'm worried that your Matsumoto family will be caught by them and used to blackmail you.

I can tell you clearly that once the war breaks out, no matter if you or we are held hostage, the army will not abandon Shikoku Castle.

So, I suggest you send your family out of the city, or bring them here, where we can protect them."

Ichiro Matsumoto was suddenly shocked and said, "But we can't get out, so how can I notify my father?"

Hongfunu smiled and said: "Sugawara gave you a chance, didn't he use a divorce plan?"

A very bad feeling arose in Ichiro Matsumoto's heart, which made him feel very nervous and asked: "What are you going to do, madam?"

"When you get out later, I will have people beat you until you can't get up, and then throw you out. You go back to Matsumoto's house first, and ask your parents to get out of the city. If you can't get out of the city, come to my place.

Then you go to Sugawara Ue and tell him that we are actually not businessmen, but the real Tang army, and the five hundred soldiers staying at the inn are in danger." Hong Funu said.

"Madam, you mean to start taking action now? And Sugawara may not believe me." Matsumoto Ichiro expressed his worries.

"He will believe it. He will definitely believe it, because of the wounds on your body and the fact that you actually left the inn. Only if I take care of these five hundred soldiers can you have a chance to leave the inn." Hongfu Nu said with a smile.

.

"That's not to ask Sugawara and the others to lead an army to besiege the inn early. Our army hasn't arrived yet, so we can't defeat them." Ichiro Matsumoto said worriedly.

"Haha..." Hongfu Girl laughed, "We are not only two hundred people, there are so many people at the door who are our helpers."

"They will help you?" Ichiro Matsumoto didn't believe it.

"Yes. After I deal with these five hundred soldiers, I will continue to distribute food, and the people will continue to receive food. As long as Sugawara dares to come, I will order people to deal with them.

Once the two sides fight, I will convince the people to fight for us." Hongfu Nu said very confidently.

"I always feel that we should wait for the army to arrive before we think of a solution. I know that the Tang army has muskets in hand, and the soldiers of Shikoku City are no match for you.

But now you only have two hundred people, but the defenders of Shikoku Castle are four thousand. Two hundred versus four thousand, no matter how you look at it, you will lose. I suggest you wait for the army to arrive." Matsumoto Ichiro said again.

"I can wait, but what about your family?" Hong Fu asked.

"I will find a way. Even if they arrest my family, they will at most lock them up. They will never threaten the army. They are not qualified." Ichiro Matsumoto said.

"Since you think so, then change the operation to the evening. After the operation in the evening, you first go back to the house to take a look." Hongfu Nu said.

In fact, her original plan was to take advantage of the silence of the night to deal with the five hundred soldiers in the inn first, and then go to the four city lords' mansions to gather the four city lords at the south gate. They would control the south gate to facilitate the army.

Being able to enter the city directly will save you from exposing one of your trump cards.

Ichiro Matsumoto nodded and agreed. It was indeed better to operate at night than during the day. One could catch the four major city lords by surprise.

…

After Sugawara came back to his house, he found that Inugami Mita had returned.

"Why did you come back so soon? Where are the Matsumoto family members?"

Inugami Mita said: "They have already escaped. When I went to Matsumoto's house, there was no one there. I asked the people next door and they said they left in a hurry early in the morning."

Sugawara's face darkened and he said: "It seems that the Matsumoto family has taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty. No wonder after returning from the Tang Dynasty, the Matsumoto family became a well-known big family overnight."

"What should we do now? The Matsumoto family has escaped, which shows that the Tang Dynasty is determined to win Shikoku City. We need to find a way." Inugami Mita said.

"I led five hundred soldiers to monitor the inn. Now that I think about it, the manpower is not enough, so I decided to lead another one thousand soldiers to go there and take charge personally.

And when you lead a thousand soldiers to Qiuri City to help the Banhe tribe, food is not the most important thing, but ambushing the Tang army is the most important thing."

"Including my 1,000 soldiers, there are only 2,000 people ambushing the Tang army. But if you want to monitor an inn, you need 1,500 people. This is too much." Inugami Mita said.

Sugawara said in a deep voice: "What do you know? The people in the inn are nominally Tang Dynasty merchants. If I deal with them, I will completely fall out with the Tang Dynasty. This is not the result that the emperor wants to see.

And what I want is not a dead person, but a living person. Once there is a war, these people will be hostages, and the woman seems to be of high status, we must capture her alive."

"I see." Inugami Mita nodded.

"Okay, let's go quickly. According to the distance, Qiuri City is closer."

Inugami Mita was startled and said: "You mean, the Tang army is already on the way to Shikoku City?"

"The possibility is very high," Sugawara said gloomily.

"Then I'll call the remaining soldiers to ambush them together."

"No, the people in the city need to be suppressed now. They cannot be allowed to help the Tang army. Now the Tang army's food distribution policy has made the people hate us. We cannot give them a chance to explode."

"Okay, let Takada suppress the people in the city, and I will lead a thousand soldiers out of the city alone."

"Sorry to trouble you, you are at the first level. If you can't stop us, then Shikoku City will be in danger."

"Don't worry, Shikoku City will not be in danger."

However, what they didn't know was that the Banhe tribe led a thousand soldiers and failed to catch up with the grain team. Instead, they encountered the Tang army led by Li Derjian.

As soon as the battle began, the thousand-strong army of the Sakaga tribe was defeated and fled.

Inugami Mita Kyū marched for less than two hours when he saw Sakagabe and his soldiers who had fled.

"Sakaai, why are you so embarrassed?" Inugami Mita asked.

When Sakagami saw Inugami Mita and a thousand soldiers, he quickly said: "Go back, hurry back to the city, we are no match for the Tang army."

Inugami Mita said angrily: "Sakaai, how can you gain the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? We have the same equipment as the Tang army, how can we not be the opponent of the Tang army?"

That's right, their equipment was the equipment that Li Feng originally sold to Fuso, and was specially given to Sugawara and the others by Emperor Kogi.

Oda Ichiro was also captured two cities because of this equipment, but fortunately, he also obtained a batch of such equipment in the end and defended the last city.

Hearing this, Sakagabe cursed angrily: "These equipments are discarded by the Tang Dynasty. The equipment they have now is more powerful. We are no match at all."
