Chapter 605 Ishikawa Taki's Plan
East China Sea, Sishan Islands.

The main island, Shangyang Island.

"General," the little personal guard hurried into the Chinese army with the information he had just arrived, "Yunchui news."

Oh?
Ishikawa Taki quickly raised his head from a pile of documents.

This is rare.

Recently, the Yunchui people have sealed off the coastlines of the eastern counties, and the Sishan Islands have not received definite news from the other side for a long time.

He took the information and took a quick look at it, and suddenly he was refreshed.

The message was short, just one sentence.

King Qi was imprisoned, Lu Fuhai was released, and has returned to Pinghai County a few days ago.

Call ~
Ishikawa Taki's breath stagnated, "Is the news reliable?"

"This..." The little personal guard showed embarrassment.

"General, the boat delivering the letter was chased by the battleship Yunchui. All the personnel have died of serious injuries or sunk in the sea. In addition, the blockade on the other side is really tight. It is difficult to confirm the authenticity of the news."

"However," he hesitated for a moment when he said this, "General, this news seems to come from Xingji City."

As we all know, Xingji City is the capital of the empire, and it is far away from the East China Sea, so its defenses have never been so strict.

"It is said that Yun Chui did not deliberately cover up the news of King Qi and Lu Fuhai. After King Qi was imprisoned, he did not tell if he could not find out the situation. After Lu Fuhai was released from Dali Temple, many people saw him visiting relatives and friends and even talking to neighbors. Let's talk together."

Ishikawa Taki nodded, his face a little gloomy.

"God doesn't help me, our arrangement has been disrupted again."

The little guard didn't dare to hum, but just lowered his head deeply.

Since the past year, Lu Fuhai has been stuck in Xingji City since returning to Yunchui.

And for so long, there has been no sound.

Everyone in the Sishan Islands thought that he would definitely not be able to get out, and had even been executed secretly.

And Lu Fuhai has controlled the East China Sea Fortress for these years, because he has to cooperate with the royal family to clean up the influence of the Duke Huguo Mansion or the Zhongyong Bo Mansion on the navy, resulting in almost no distinction between high and low military ranks inside the East Sea Fortress.

It was okay when he was there, and it didn't affect him for the time being.

Once Lu Fuhai is gone, the East China Sea barrier will be in chaos.

This defect is not only clear to Yunshuiren, but also Ishikawa Taki and Hisodo Naoto who are far away on the east coast of Baekje.

Now that the Changxing Emperor's Bintian is approaching, all parties in Xingji City restrict each other, and no one can spare their hands.

Without the main general in the East China Sea barrier, and without a real powerful general who can stand up for a while, the East China Sea will definitely be in chaos in a short period of time.

Ishikawa Taki calculated in this way, and the plan to come down from the Sishan Islands was also arranged based on this.

As a result, at a critical juncture, Lu Fuhai came out for the first time, and returned to the East China Sea barrier unharmed, and even his power did not seem to have changed much.

This hit Ishikawa Taki by surprise.

"Who will tell me what happened to Xingji City?"

Ishikawa Taki turned several times on the spot, the flames in his belly whistling with the strong wind of the Sishan Islands.

"Chen Xiuzhu is in prison, is it Emperor Changxing's intention or the crown prince wants to kill his brother?"

"And hasn't Lu Fuhai always belonged to the King of Qi? Chen Xiuzhu is now in prison, why can he come out with the whole body?"

"It doesn't make sense."

The little personal guard tightly pursed his lips, and carefully shrank in a corner on one side, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.

Ishikawa Taki was puzzled, why didn't he want to know the reason?

It's a pity that no one on the Sishan Islands can tell them.

Ishikawa Taki scolded for a long while before calming down.

He gently put down the information in his hand, "The matter has come to this, it seems that we have to readjust the battle plan."

"Good advice, general." The little guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ishikawa Taki ignored his flattery, and his eyes fell on the map on the wall.

"It will take some time for Lu Fuhai to rectify the barriers in the East China Sea. We must act before he completes the rectification. Otherwise, it will be too late."

"Understood." The little guard nodded.

"Has there been any response from Nanhai?" Ishikawa Taki asked again.

Masato Nei in Beihai Pass went north to seek help to rescue the siege, and the Sishan Islands in the East China Sea could not sit still.

Earlier, Ishikawa Taki had dispatched people to Nanfeng and the surrounding small countries, trying to persuade all parties to borrow some food, and then made an appointment to attack Yunchui together.

"This..." the little guard stammered, "General, the south is too far away, and there is no news yet."

After speaking, he couldn't help but glanced at the map.

Among the five countries in the south, Nanfeng is the most powerful.

It's a pity that after Yunchui's army captured the capital of Nanfeng, the Prince of Nanfeng has been checking the fish tax in the south for these years, and later he was continuously besieged by small neighboring countries like Wanxiang Baoxiang.

He himself is still alive, and it is an extravagant hope to even take back the central country, let alone attack the Zhennan Pass further north.

As for the small countries such as Vientiane, Baoxiang, and Dashi, dividing the territory of Nanfeng is already enough for them to be busy.

Attack north?
After some eloquence from the Japanese pirate envoys, their royal family had this idea.

However, after looking at Zhennan Pass on the map and the current situation of Nanfeng, they all shut up silently.

Ugh.

"Shuzi is not enough to seek." Ishikawa Taki sighed, and looked away from the map.

Boom!
He suddenly punched the table hard.

"do not care."

"It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Originally, I only hoped that those small countries in the south would slow down the people of Yunchui as much as possible. I didn't expect them to be of great use."

"Immediately order the entire army, and all fleets will depart at midnight tonight. Attack as planned!"

"Yes!" The little guard cheered up and responded loudly.

clang clang clang.

Gongs and drums resounded in the sky, resounding through the sky.

For a while, Sishan Islands boiled everywhere.

----

Pinghai County.

Report!
A small boat braved the wind and waves, and sailed quickly towards the base camp of the East China Sea barrier.

"The Sishan Islands have changed. A large fleet of Japanese pirates set sail at night and headed southwest. The goal seems to be..."

Sulan County!
"Is the situation true?" Lu Fuhai stood up abruptly, with an extremely serious expression on his face.

Sulan City is Yunchui's economic capital, rich merchants gather in the city, and there are countless kinds of goods.

As long as it is occupied, it is estimated that for a long time, the Japanese pirates will not have to worry about the food problem.

At the same time, Sulan City is also the mouth of the Xinglan Grand Canal.

As long as the fleet enters the canal and everything goes smoothly, it will take less than seven days to reach Xingji City.

"How many fleets did Ishikawa Taki send south?"

"Returning to the general, the night is too dark, and the eyes dare not get too close. I only know that a large number of fleets set off from the Sishan Islands to the south. As for the exact number, I still don't know for a while."

Lu Fuhai nodded, turned to look at the almanac hanging on the wall.

It was Shangdian in May, and I couldn't see my fingers at night.The Japanese pirates chose to set off again at Zishi, and it is normal that the eyes cannot see clearly.

He roughly measured the distances with his hands, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Send someone to investigate again! At the same time, hurry up and inform Su Lan to prepare to defend against the enemy."

Sulan is one of the most important cities in Yunchui, and its status is comparable to Xingji City. The surrounding defense forces, especially the anti-sea breaking crossbow, are almost as dense as Pinghai County.

If the Japanese pirates really dare to approach, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat and walk around.
