Chapter 1143: Looking for Japanese pirates to verify
"Brother Mu, what is the current situation in Linhai, Huangyan, Tiantai counties and Taizhou Prefecture?" Zhu Pingan asked.
“My lord, the three counties of Linhai, Huangyan and Tiantai have also been attacked by Japanese pirates. The ones who invaded these three counties are the same group of Japanese pirates. The leader of the bandits is named Lord Jiangmen. He is the most powerful, with nearly 5,000 Japanese pirates under his command. . The county towns of Linhai and Huangyan counties were both captured by this Jiangmen master, but Tiantai County The county town was spared. The magistrate of Tiantai County was shot dead by a Japanese pirate while defending the city. When the county town was about to be lost, a group of Shaolin monks came to the rescue. It is said that the magistrate of Tiantai County always took good care of the temple. Generous, both temples in Tiantai County have benefited from the Tiantai Magistrate. When the monks from two temples heard that Japanese pirates were besieging Tiantai County, they spontaneously organized eighty monks to protect the temple to go to the rescue. Each of these monks was armed with iron rods weighing thirty to forty kilograms, and they were highly skilled in martial arts and beat away the Japanese pirates. , saved Tiantai County in times of crisis. However, some Japanese pirates were still outside Tiantai County. Watching with eager eyes. As for Taizhou Prefecture, there is news that Taizhou Prefecture was surrounded by Jiangmen yesterday, but the strange thing is that although Jiangmen Master surrounded Taizhou Prefecture, he was not in a hurry to attack the city. "
Liu Mu carefully reported the information he found to Zhu Ping'an.
“Are you saying that Lord Jiangmen besieged Taizhou Prefecture instead of attacking it?” After hearing this, Zhu Ping’an’s dark eyes flashed with light.
"That's right. Master Jiang just blocked Taizhou Mansion and was in no rush to attack the city. He didn't even make a feint to test the city." Liu Mu nodded.
If you want to besiege but not attack, if you are not in a hurry to attack the city, Zhu Ping'an touched his chin and was 70-80% sure. The leader of the Jiang clan should be waiting for the Japanese pirates Honda Heihachi and Tiejingang to join him. , attack the city together.
These three groups of Japanese pirates landed almost at the same time. One group robbed Jingnan and Taiping, one group robbed Ninghai and Xianju, and the other group robbed Linhai, Huangyan, and Tiantai. It happened that Taizhou Prefecture had seven jurisdictions The county was divided cleanly.
Coincidence? No, this is no coincidence!
These three groups of Japanese pirates must be working together. Before landing, they conspired to carve up the seven counties under the jurisdiction of Taizhou. They then agreed to meet under the city of Taizhou City and attack the city with high walls, deep ponds and numerous defenders. Taizhou Prefecture. The reason why Lord Jiang Clan besieged Taizhou Prefecture instead of attacking it was probably because he was waiting for the two groups of Japanese pirates, Honda Heihachi and Tie Jingang, to join him.
There are 5,000 Japanese pirates under the command of Lord Jiangmen, which is far more numerous than the Japanese pirates under Honda Heihachi and Tiejingang. So Lord Jiangmen should be the leader of this group of Japanese pirates, so he must have the highest status and the most powerful voice among this group of Japanese pirates.
Since Master Jiangmen is waiting, Honda Heihachi and Teijingang will definitely come.
In this way, Honda Heihachi, who occupies Taiping County, is going to meet the Jiangmen Lord at the foot of Taizhou City. He will not stay in Taiping County for a long time. Then, then... he can take the opportunity to grab a "Restore Taiping" As for the military exploits of "County City", if planned properly, these military exploits will be like picking up for nothing.
However, this is all based on my own speculation.
Are Jiang Menzhu, Honda Heihachi and Tie Jingang the same group? Did they agree to join forces outside Taizhou Prefecture to attack the city? These are yet to be verified.
How to verify? !
Of course, we need to ask the Japanese pirates to verify it!
Catch a few Japanese pirate prisoners, imprison them separately, knock on their doors, and conduct verification.
It's just that it's easy to say but not easy to do. Japanese pirates can't be caught easily.
"Brother Mu, I suspect that the three groups of Japanese pirates, Honda Heihachi, Tiejingang, and Jiangmen Master, are a group. Jiangmen Master is besieging Taizhou City instead of attacking it. I suspect that he is waiting for Honda Heihachi. Join him with Tiejingang, and then attack the city after joining forces. . Taizhou Fucheng has different counties, the city is high and the pond is deep, and there are many defenders. It is not easy for the Japanese pirates from Jiangmen to attack the Fucheng alone. Only when the three groups of Japanese pirates join forces and have the advantage of strength can they be sure to break through the Fucheng. He took a sip of tea, looked at Liu Mu, and said slowly.
"Young master, what you said makes sense." After listening to Zhu Ping'an's analysis, Liu Mu thought for a moment and nodded vigorously.
"These are all my guesses." Zhu Pingan said softly, "It still needs to be verified."
"Master, how can we verify it?" Liu Mu asked.
"If you want to verify it, it's best to ask the Japanese pirates to verify it. However, it is not easy to capture a few Japanese pirates." Zhu Pingan said slowly.
"Ah, if I had known those Japanese pirates, I wouldn't have killed them." Liu Mu said regretfully after hearing this.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan raised his head and looked at Liu Mu.
"Sir, when we went to Taiping County to inquire about the news today, we encountered several Japanese pirates who were roaming the countryside, burning, killing and looting. We killed them all. If I had known better, I would have captured them. Liu Mu regretted it, but soon he said, "If you want to capture a few Japanese pirates, it will not be difficult at all. The Japanese pirates have loose discipline." , disobeying discipline, after Honda Heihachi occupied Taiping County, groups of Japanese pirates often went to the countryside to burn, kill, loot and harm the people. It is not difficult to capture a few Japanese pirates, but please let them go. "Xin, leave it to us to capture the Japanese pirates."
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an's eyes couldn't help but light up. Yes, the Japanese pirates have loose discipline and can catch lone Japanese pirates.
"Young master, it's night now, so it's easier to do things. I'm going to find Da Dao and the others now to capture a few Japanese pirate prisoners." Liu Mu handed over his hand to ask for the tassel, full of confidence, as if he was following the Japanese pirates to the market. Like buying groceries.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Brother Mu. But you have to be more careful, put safety first, and target those Japanese pirates who are alone, and don't provoke those large groups of Japanese pirates, who are approaching I just want to search in the countryside of Jingnan, don’t go deep It doesn't matter if we can't catch Japanese pirates when we enter Taiping County. In addition, we captured a lot of Japanese knives when we defended the city. You can take them with you and pretend to be Japanese pirates." Zhu Ping'an nodded, stood up and held his hands in his hands, telling Liu Mu to do more. Be careful and suggest that Liu Mu and the others can pretend to be Japanese pirates.
Zhu Ping'an is still very relieved about Liu Mu and the others. Liu Mu and the others are from Orions and have strong martial arts skills. As long as they don't encounter large groups of Japanese pirates, safety is not a problem. If they pretend to be Japanese pirates, it will be easier to hide and escape.
"Don't worry, young master, we'll come back as soon as we go." Liu Mu said with cupped hands.
Soon, Liu Mu found Liu Dadao and Liu Dachui, and selected five people from the government officials. Everyone put on Japanese pirate costumes, each brought a Japanese knife, and pretended to be Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates rode overnight to Taiping County.
Zhu Pingan sent them out of the county government office and has been waiting in the lobby of the county government office.
About two hours later, I heard the sound of horse hooves outside, and Zhu Pingan quickly walked out of the lobby.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Ping'an arrived at the gate of the county government office, he saw Liu Mu and the others.
"Young master, fortunately, we have captured five alive."
Liu Mu and Liu Dadao got off their horses and saluted Zhu Pingan, with five Japanese pirates tied on their horses.
"Okay!"
Zhu Ping'an looked happy and praised repeatedly. (End of chapter)
