Chapter 727
Songjiang Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty is also the area around Shanghai today. Shanghai also has a different name called Shanghai. Because this alluvial plain located at the mouth of the Yangtze River is located on the east side of the sea, it is a flat mudflat. However, nature has always paid attention to the way of balance. Just northwest of Huating County, where Songjiang Prefecture is located, a continuous mountain range magically appeared, called Sheshan. Although it is less than 100 meters above sea level, it covers an extremely wide area. There are more than a dozen mountains, lush trees, and many wild animals are also living in them.
At this time, Xu Hai, wearing a straw hat, was walking on a horse in a forest path in Sheshan. There were two personal soldiers in front and behind him, responsible for the opening of the road and the rear of the hall. The light in the forest was dim, and there were dense bamboo cultivating beside the road. The fierce cold wind swept across the bamboo leaves, making a howling sound like ghost crying, and occasionally some ice and snow that had not yet melted fell.
Xu Hai rode on the horse expressionlessly, obviously in a bad mood. He fled to Japan without any of his own, but God treated him well. Not only did he give him the title of "living Buddha", but he also borrowed ships and people to return to his country to revenge. Moreover, in the past few months, he has done a "big cause" vigorously, occupying the territory of the two counties, and at its peak, his troops under his command reached 50,000.
However, fate seemed to be a big joke with Xu Hai. He gave him a blow when he was at his most glorious moment and directly knocked him back to his original form. Oh, it should not be considered a return to his original form. At least he still has hundreds of people under his command.
Therefore, Xu Hai felt that he had not completely failed and could stand up and wave for a while, so he might make a comeback. Now, on the way out, he made an appointment with Orishimiko and Takesho Kamikawa to meet, which was at a certain mountain in Sheshan.
After walking on the mountain path for about half an hour, Xu Hai finally arrived at the meeting place. Hosokawa Takeshu and Orishimiko were already waiting in the woods. After several months, the three people who had escaped from the 500-bat gun gathered again. Everyone's eyes were touching each other and they were a little mixed with emotion.
"Xu Haijun, it's been a long time since!" Takesho Hosokawa was wearing a kimono, with a Japanese knife hanging around his waist, and bowed to Xu Hai.
"Let Your Excellency Hosokawa and Miss Miko wait for a long time." Xu Hai bowed and said with a respectful look.
Orishinomiko was also wearing a kimono, her beautiful face was coldly stretched, and she held the Japanese sword in her hand. Ten Japanese samurai in black clothes and black pants lined up behind her, and they seemed to be masters.
Orishimiko glanced at Xu Hai coldly and said indifferently: "I hope we haven't waited in vain. Xu Hai, how many people are left under you now?"
A hint of anger flashed in Xu Hai's eyes and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter how many people there are under the command of this general. What's important is that I have received a good news, and a good news that can kill Xu Jin."
"What good news?" asked Miko Orishinobu asked with a frown.
"Xu Jin is coming. He is now in Haiyan County. Bi Ri will personally supervise the Huating County Army." Xu Hai replied.
As soon as this was said, Orishimiko and Hosokawa Takeshu both looked cold and shining. The latter asked in a deep voice: "Xu Haijun, your news is accurate?"
Xu Hai nodded affirmatively and said, "I left a suspicion when I left Pinghu County. Xu Jin did arrive in Pinghu County. No one dared to pretend to be his commander-in-chief and the Ministry of War flag. It cannot be faked."
Miko Orishinomiko's eyes flashed with cold light, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't go in heaven, you will not go to hell, and if you have no way to go, my surname is Xu, I am about to settle the score with you."
Takeshu Hosokawa smiled and said, "What's the trick of Miss Miko?"
Orishinomiko raised her chin and looked at Xu Hai and said, "Xu Haijun asked us to come out. It must be a plan long ago?"
A trace of color flashed in Xu Hai's eyes. He took out a roll of map from his personal soldiers and opened it. Orishimiko and Takesho Kamikawa looked at each other and approached each other.
Xu Hai pointed to a place near the junction of Jiaxing Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture on the map and said, "This place is called Yezhuao, which is a good place to ambush. Xu Jin will pass by 90% from Pinghu County to Huating County. We will ambush here in advance. It is best to kill him with one shot. If it really doesn't work, it will be better to attack him."
Takeshu Hosokawa frowned and said, "This place is not far from Huating Prefecture and Takulin. Now the Wolf Soldiers and the Five Hundred Battalions are stationed in two places. Even if we succeed, we will probably not be able to escape the Five Hundred Battalions' cavalry in the end."
But Miko Orishinobu said confidently: "It's okay, now the wolf soldiers and the Five Hundred Battalions are looking for our traces everywhere. Before the operation, we can just send a small group of troops as bait to lead them elsewhere."
Takesho Hosokawa happily praised: "Miss Miko, then Xu Jin is dead this time."
Miko Orishinobu shook her head and said, "Don't be too happy too early. Xu Jin must have a lot of troops around her. We may not be able to succeed. Xu Haijun, have your eyeliner found out how many people Xu Jin brought?"
Xu Hai smiled grimly and said, "Xu Jin is probably already proud of himself. Apart from the 100 Jinyiwei guards, he only brought fifty personal soldiers. Even if the local governments in Pinghu County send troops to escort them, there will be at most five hundred soldiers. These garbage are far inferior to the combat effectiveness of the wolf soldiers and the 500 battalion, so it is not worth worrying."
Orishimiko and Takesho Hosukawa looked at each other again. If only this little force was escorting, Xu Jin would be dead this time, because the two of them had nearly 3,000 people under their command. Even if two thousand people were separated to lure the tiger away from the mountain, leading the wolf soldiers and 500 battalions, the remaining one thousand people would be enough to destroy Xu Jin's guards, and there were no more than a thousand ambushing, which was just right.
The three thieves made up their minds, discussed some details, and went their separate ways, each of them preparing for action.
Let’s talk about Xu Hai bid farewell to Orishimiko and Takesho Kamikawa, and then followed the original route back to the hidden place. In fact, Xu Hai’s hidden place was also in Sheshan, only three hills away from the place where the three met.
About an hour later, Xu Hai returned to the dense forest where he was hiding. Hong Donggang and Xu Hong immediately came up to meet him. The former asked carefully: "Have the general seen Orishimiko and Takeshu Hosokawa?"
Hong Dong-oka is Xu Hai's number one horseman, and Xu Hong is Xu Hai's cousin, so Xu Hai trusts both of them very much, so he tells the plan he had just agreed with Orishimiko and Takeshu Hosokawa.
After hearing this, Hong Donggang and Xu Hong were overjoyed. If Xu Jin could be killed, the officers and soldiers would inevitably be in chaos. Then they would take the opportunity to make a comeback and eat delicious food and drink spicy food.
Xu Hong rubbed his hands and said, "Hehe, the person surnamed Xu really thinks he is too old. He always likes to move forward in wars. He often walks by the river. How can he not get wet his shoes? This time you are dead. By the way, brother, are we tempted or participate in the ambush? Hey, it's best not to do anything and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
Hong Donggang looked at Xu Hong with an idiot's eyes and said to himself, "You are idiots, you are an idiot, you are still an idiot, and you are still reaping the benefits of fishermen? Dreaming!
Sure enough, Xu Hai said in a deep voice: "We are involved in the ambush. I will kill Xu Jin with my own hands to avenge my uncle."
Hong Donggang pointed: "The general's move is wise, and the wolf soldiers and the Five Hundred Battalions are not easy to mess with. If the bait is caught up by them, it will be very dangerous. Instead, it will be relatively safe to ambush Xu Jin."
Xu Hai nodded. It was because he understood this that he chose to participate in the ambush. For him, as long as Xu Jin died, it was not that important whether he killed him himself.
Next, Xu Hai, Hong Donggang and Xu Hong discussed for a while, and after everything was decided, his eyes glanced around and frowned and asked, "Where is Lu Shu?"
Xu Hong immediately pointed to the tent under the trees far away and said, "My sister-in-law has been inside but hasn't come out."
Xu Hai couldn't help but show satisfaction. During this period, he was defeated and was chased by the wolf soldiers and the Five Hundred Battalions, like a stray dog. But even so, he still couldn't bear to leave Wang Lushu. Although this woman was not as good as Wang Cuiqiao, she was at least the second place in the courtesan competition. The key was that this woman was well-behaved and obedient, and she did not try to escape along the way, and she also did her best to serve herself.
So Xu Hai made up his mind that as long as he could kill Xu Jin this time, he would marry Wang Lushu and give her the wealth and glory she deserved.
