Fuyang County, Hangzhou Prefecture.

On the top of the mountain, Qian Yuan looked at the Japanese pirates at the foot of the mountain who were still being chopped by wolf soldiers. Zhong Nan rushed to the front with a knife. He is the only one left in the first group of Tianzhou wolf soldiers who came to the southeast two years ago.

"I've asked, the Japanese pirates broke into Sanjiang and attacked Xiaoshan. This small group of Japanese pirates attacked Fuyang along the Qiantang River." Yang Wen climbed up the mountain with sweat on his head.

"map."

Qian Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the Southeast map drawn by himself, "Sanjiang Institute... Japanese pirates attacked Shanyin... did not break the city?"

The middle-aged man who followed Yang Wen to come up shook his head, "Shanyin is not in trouble, but a small group of Japanese pirates, and Sanjiang lacks troops."

This middle-aged man didn't know Qian Yuan before, but he only met him in Shangyu this time. In fact, Qian Yuan had heard of this person's name, Wu Chengqi.

Last year, Wu Chengqi was appointed as the Kuaiji Dianshi for his contribution to defending the city and defeating the Japanese. Later, he returned to his hometown to mourn due to his father's death. In July this year, Hu Zongxian sent a letter to invite him out of the mountain and temporarily led the personal soldiers of the Governor's Office.

Wu Chengqi studied martial arts since he was a child and read Confucian classics. His father served as the magistrate of Chenzhou. In the 28th year of Jiajing, Wu Chengqi followed his father to quell the rebellion of the Miao people. Later, because he did not like the eight-legged essay, he made many military achievements.

By the way, Wu Chengqi is also from Huizhou.

"Did Xu Hai divide his troops?" Qian Yuan was a little puzzled, after all, there was too little information.

"Young Master, be careful!" A guard at the foot of the mountain shouted.

Qian Yuan turned around and looked at the fallen body of Japanese pirates. A guy pretending to be dead suddenly rushed over with his knife. Qian Yuan turned around and continued to look at the map, stretched out his hand and gestured. The group of people took a detour from Fuyang because the Japanese pirates invaded Shanyin. I don’t know if Xu Hai started fighting now?

"Good arrow!"

Qian Yuan glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw in surprise that there were two long arrows inserted in the Japanese pirates who were lying dozens of steps away. One was naturally from Wang Yi and the other... Qian Yuan looked back and Wu Chengqi was holding a long bow in his hand.

He is really a figure who is both civil and military, and he is not lacking in courage. The Japanese riots in the southeast have also attracted so many talents.

"Leave ten people to wait, and the Yiwu soldiers will arrive in two hours." Qian Yuan motioned the guard to put away the map, "Let's go to Fuyang County."

After wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, Qian Yuan rushed straight into the county town, and found the county government with a familiarity... He was very familiar with it. He was cheated by Hai Rui a month ago and sent a copy of the Liu family again, but unfortunately he didn't have much left his pocket.

"Thank you..."

Before Hai Rui finished his salute, Qian Yuan turned over and dismounted and interrupted: "Immediately prepare rations for thousands of people, and prepare clean water...it must be boiled and cooled down."

"Food for thousands of people?" Hai Rui gritted his teeth and responded. This was a bit difficult for him. After all, there was no money in the county government, but he had just wiped out more than a hundred Japanese pirates outside the county town, which was a reasonable requirement.

Two hours later, in the lobby of the county government, Qian Yuan, Wu Chengqi and Hu Guiqi waited for Qi Jimei.

"Six hundred people, including wolf teeth and waist knives, but only ordinary spears." Qi Jimei took a big bowl and drank cold water in one sip. "Along the way, we met two small groups of Japanese pirates... What's going on?"

Qian Yuan and Wu Chengqi looked at each other. When you come from Yiwu, Jinhua, can you actually meet Japanese pirates?

"Near Zhuji County." Qi Jimei gasped, "About 70 or 80 people, they dispersed when they saw the brigade. I was in a hurry to go, but I didn't chase after him."

Without expanding the map, Qian Yuan had a general impression in his mind. The three counties closest to the coastline of Shaoxing Prefecture are Yuyao, Shanyin and Kuaiji, Shangyu is located in the central part of Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhuji County is located in the northwest corner of Shaoxing Prefecture, and further west is the junction of Shaoxing, Hangzhou and Jinhua Prefecture. Although there must be a small group of Japanese pirates roaming, it is really powerful!

After eating and drinking, I rested for more than an hour. Two hundred wolf soldiers, Qian's guards and the six hundred Yiwu soldiers who arrived set off. I went to Qiantang County first and went north to Yuhang, depending on the situation, and whether I should go straight to Jiaxing Prefecture.

Qian Yuan had some good feelings for Hai Rui this time. Although this guy was annoying, he was still very clear. In addition to food and water, he also prepared mung bean soup to learn about the summer and dry food to take on the way.

Fuyang County is located in the southwest corner of Hangzhou Prefecture, not far from Qiantang County, and it is at dusk. Qi Jimei, Yang Wen, Zhong Nan and others arranged nearly a thousand soldiers to enter the military camp. Qian Yuan hurried to the Governor's Mansion with his guards.

"Can the Japanese pirates attack Jiaxing?" Wang Yin, who stayed in the Governor's Office, frowned and smiled bitterly, "But even so, he could not draw any troops."

Wu Baipeng, who was standing by, nodded helplessly, and said to Qian Yuan: "As the general of Zhejiang, Liu Yuan...the six thousand soldiers under his command were formed based on Hangzhou vanguards and right guards. Although he had more training this year to eliminate the weak and remain strong, he could only barely defend the city and go out of the city to fight in the field..."

Qian Yuan was speechless. Two years ago, during the battle of Linpingshan, the forerunners in Hangzhou almost threw Qi Jimei to the Japanese pirates.

"Will Xu Hai attack Jiaxing?" Wang Yin turned his head and looked at the map hanging on the wall. "Since yesterday, Japanese pirates have increased their troops in Shaoxing Prefecture, Yuyao, Shanyin, Kuaiji and even Xiaoshan have been attacked by Japanese pirates. Among them, Yuyao is the most tragic, and the general Liu Xian has led his troops to aid."

After a pause, Wang Yin said again: "There is Lu Tong in Jiaxing Prefecture, and Lu Bin and his son are there. The troops are more than 5,000, so it should be okay to protect yourself."

Wu Baipeng, who had just rushed back from Xiaoshan today, whispered: "The Japanese pirates attacked Shaoxing Prefecture at least 3,000, but it was a bit strange. Most of them were small groups of Japanese pirates, wandering everywhere... Zhancai mentioned just now that there were Japanese pirates in Zhuji and Fuyang."

"What's strange?" Wang Yin didn't understand.

"Xu Hai and Wang Zhi started a war for about a year. The Japanese pirates under his command have experienced war for a long time and are already elite." Qian Yuan said in a deep voice: "Have you seen such elites wandering around?"

Wu Baipeng was stunned for a while before saying, "Zhan Cai means... they may not be under Xu Hai's command?"

Qian Yuan stretched out his palm and pressed the table, gritting his teeth secretly, "Wang Zhi, Xu Hai started a war for more than a year, but the Japanese pirates along the coast have never stopped... This means that in addition to Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, there are a large number of Japanese pirates of all sizes on the sea."

Wu Baipeng and Wang Yin looked at each other. This is something that everyone has known for a long time. Is there anything strange?

"But in fact, there has been no war since the great victory in Shaoxing last year. Even if the general Zong Li died in a battle last year, the Japanese pirates' strength was only 1,000." Qian Yuan sorted out his thoughts and said: "Two hundred real Japanese troops broke through two thousand official troops and attacked Yuyao with great momentum... Then thousands of Japanese pirates rushed towards Shaoxing, wandering everywhere, burning, killing and plundering."

"What does this mean?" Qian Yuan turned his head to look at the map, "Once Xu Hai landed and defeated the main force of the local garrison, a large number of Japanese pirates would pounce on him..."

In fact, over a year ago, the Japanese pirates were generally honest. After Xu Hai finally ceased to fight with Wang Zhi, a large number of Japanese pirates were watching. Once Xu Hai succeeded, these Japanese pirates would be like hungry wolves... Those Japanese pirates who had been hungry for a long time will be Xu Hai's most powerful assistants. Qian Yuan guessed that even the Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi couldn't help but get involved.

Wang Yin was not good at military strategy and became panicked for a moment, "What should I do?"

After a moment of silence, Wu Baipeng whispered: "For the sake of the present, we can only defeat Xu Hai."

"It's very difficult. You have to gather many official troops, but now Liu Xian is in Yuyao, Yu Dayou is in Jiading..." Qian Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that attacking Shaoxing and Suzhou... are all Xu Hai's plans, and his goal is really Jiaxing Mansion!"

Qian Yuan, who was used to planning, said sternly: "First, you cannot be defeated. No matter Yu Dayou, Liu Xian, or Lu Tong, you cannot be defeated. As long as you have troops in your hands, you will have the opportunity to encircle and suppress Xu Hai."

"Second, we must immediately explore the trends of Xu Hai. If there has not been a large number of Japanese pirates in Shaoxing Prefecture so far, then Xu Hai's target must be Jiaxing Prefecture."

After a long silence, Qian Yuan whispered: "Let's leave tomorrow and go to Jiaxing Mansion!"

Under the influence of butterflies that traveled through time, the war situation in the southeast was greatly different from history. Xu Hai had a powerful military force, but at the same time, the Japanese pirates' invasion of various parts of Zhejiang were actually not as great as the original time and space.

In the original time and space, although Xu Hai was captured and killed, the Japanese pirates invaded everywhere frantically. Xiaoshan, which was close to Hangzhou Prefecture, was broken into scorched earth. Yuyao, Cixi, and Shanyin only had the ability to protect the city. Outside the city, it became the territory of Japanese pirates. Tens of thousands of Japanese pirates were lingering in Pinghu, Haining, and even the hands of the Japanese pirates reached near Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Fengyang Prefectures.
