Going to try anyway.But what if Hu Zongxian doesn't listen?
Luo Xin laid out the map on the table and looked at it carefully, and slid his fingers lightly on the map.His brows furrowed more and more, and he finally closed his eyes.

After a while, when Luo Xin opened his eyes again, their eyes flickered with brilliance.

the next day.
When He Nian came to Ertang, he didn't see Luo Xin, but he saw Lu Daqing. Lu Daqing told him that Luo Xin was ill, and he didn't see anyone these days.He Nian looked towards the Hou Ya, and saw Wan Daquan leading soldiers guarding the Hou Ya with stern eyes.

He Nian asked to visit his doctor, but Lu Daqing refused.He saw many soldiers walking out of the Yamen, so he asked:

"They are..."

"They all said that the soldiers of General Qi and General Luo were lent to Lord Hou before, but now the Lord has transferred them, so they all rushed to Suzhou."

He Nian nodded after hearing this, but didn't take it to heart. He was only worried about Luo Xin's condition, and left depressed.The four hundred soldiers left Hangzhou and ran away.

Twenty miles away from the city of Hangzhou, there is a manor. Before the four hundred soldiers came to the manor, the gate of the manor opened, and the four hundred soldiers rushed in.The gate of the manor was slowly closed, and four hundred soldiers reined in their horses in the manor and jumped down one after another.

At this time, a person walked out from the depths of the manor, and came to a soldier who had just jumped off his horse and gave a deep salute:

"The subordinates have met the Patriarch."

The soldier was obviously Luo Xin in disguise. Luo Xin laughed and said, "Old Li, how many things have you made?"

"More than 6000 pieces have been made!"

"Okay! Take me to see it!"

"Okay, Patriarch, please come down with your subordinates."

This old Li is none other than the first batch of veterans recruited by Luo Xin from the north. These veterans are not injured or sick, but deserters. They are veterans who escaped from the northern border and were seduced by Tang Zhuang. A veteran who defected to Luo Xin.There were 800 people in the first batch. After these 800 people came to Hangzhou, they were arranged by Luo Xin to a manor outside the city. This manor was also bought by Luo Xin for the bodyguard bureau.

After the 800 people came, the first task Luo Xin gave them was to make thunderbolts, and now they have made [-] here.

About two quarters of an hour later, the gate of the manor opened again. Luo Xin just led ten people, disguised, and galloped towards Suzhou on horseback.

Before noon, Luo Xin had already entered Suzhou City, and then went straight to the Governor's Mansion.He asked a soldier to come forward and tell the soldier at the door that he had brought a letter from Luo Xin and he wanted to hand it over to Hu Zongxian immediately, but the news he got was that Hu Zongxian was not there.

He asked Hu Zongxian where he had gone, but the soldiers guarding the gate turned their eyebrows coldly and almost arrested Luo Xin and the others as spies.Luo Xin couldn't reveal his identity, so he had no choice but to flee.Fortunately, there were not many soldiers left in the Governor's Mansion, but Luo Xin and the others escaped.

Luo Xin and his party ran out of Suzhou and stopped at the Ten Mile Changting Pavilion. Luo Xin sat on the horse and frowned tightly thinking, if Hu Zongxian is really going to go all out, then he should go to the Navy, Luo Xin Gritting his teeth, he led ten of his men and rushed towards the water army camp.

Near dusk, Luo Xin and his party arrived outside the navy camp wearily.It was still far away from the water army camp, and was blocked by a scouting team. Luo Xin rode forward and cupped his hands and said:

"This brother, I am under the command of Master Luo, the Tongzhi of Hangzhou. Master Luo has a letter written by himself to Lord Butang."

The scout looked Luo Xin up and down and said, "Bring the letter."

Luo Xin shook his head with a smile and said: "Lord Luo told me to deliver it to Lord Butang personally, and please brother to inform. I think everyone should be clear about the relationship between Lord Butang and my lord."

The scout thought for a while, and he had heard some rumors about the relationship between Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin in the army.sidewalk:
"You wait here."

"Thank you brother!" Luo Xin smiled and cupped his hands.

The scout turned his horse's head and galloped towards the water army camp, while the rest of the soldiers were still vigilantly guarding against Luo Xin and the others.Time passed quickly, and two quarters of an hour had passed, but the scout still hadn't returned. Luo became more and more anxious in his confidence. At this time, the sun had completely set and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Another quarter of an hour passed before I heard a rush of horseshoes, and in the night, I saw the scout galloping fast, and when he got close to Luo Xin, Yi Le's horse said:
"Come with me!"

Luo Xin turned back to his ten subordinates and said, "You guys wait here."

After saying that, he followed the scout and ran towards the water army camp.After entering the gate of the water army camp, I saw that all the soldiers had already boarded the boat, and they were waiting to set sail.Not only did Luo Xin secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but Hu Zongxian hadn't started sending troops yet, so everything was still in time.But then his heart tightened again, what if Hu Zongxian didn't listen to him?His heart became anxious again, and in this anxious mood, Luo Xin came to a big ship, when he entered the cabin, he saw many generals sitting in the cabin, Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing Also inside, and Hu Zongxian sat in the middle.

Hearing the sound of Luo Xin walking in, everyone couldn't help but look over, and then Hu Zongxian and other people who knew Luo Xin couldn't help but stare blankly.

"No, why... why are you here?" Hu Zongxian stared at Luo Dao in a daze.

"My lord, can I take a step to speak!" At this time, Luo Xin didn't care about being polite, but said directly.

Hu Zongxian did not hesitate, nodded immediately and said: "No, follow me."

"Master Xie Butang!"

Luo Xin followed Hu Zongxian to Lingyi's cabin, Luo Xin closed the cabin door with his backhand, and Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Dao:
"No, why did you come here in a hurry?"

"Brother, do you want to go to Lang'er Island?"

Hu Zongxian's expression changed: "How do you know?"

Luo Xin then smiled wryly and said: "The news of the pirates gathering at Lang'er Island spreads all over the streets and alleys, how could I not know about it? You transferred Qi Jiguang and my eldest brother who had already been transferred to me. I'm not stupid, how come Can't think of it?"

"Hehe..." Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "No, wait for my brother and I to send troops this time, the situation in the southeast will completely change. By that time, you will no longer have to worry about the Japanese pirates' rebellion, and you don't need so many soldiers." Protect you."

"Brother, aren't you negotiating peace with Wang Zhi? Why are you sending troops to attack Wang Zhi again?"

"Brother, you are still young!" Hu Zongxian said with a touch of pride in his eyes: "I didn't want to have a real peace talk with Wang Zhi, just to use him, and the ultimate goal is to destroy him. Now he gave me this opportunity , Why should I negotiate peace with him? As long as he is killed this time, and then all the pirate leaders are beheaded, at that time, it is time for us to wipe out the Japanese pirates."

"Brother!" Luo Xin said anxiously, "Have you ever thought that this is a trap?"

"Trap?" Hu Zongxian laughed suddenly: "What happened? This is the exact news I got through my careful work."

Luo Xin took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said, "Brother, Wang Zhi has always wanted to join the court, and now His Majesty has ordered to open the sea, how could he gather Japanese pirates at this time?"

"This is not good!" Hu Zongxian said with a faint smile: "Perhaps Wang Zhi wanted to use this to unify the Japanese pirates. All the Japanese pirates who did not agree with him would be killed by him on Lang'er Island. In this way, he unified all the Japanese pirates." , you have a bigger hole card in negotiating with me."

"Then what if it's not like this? It's because the other Japanese pirates are afraid that Wang Zhi will join forces with the court to destroy them like before, deliberately spread the news, and then when the old brother leads the army to go out and Suhang is empty, they suddenly attack Suhang? "

"How is this possible?" Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin differently, looking like an idiot.

"It's entirely possible!" Luo Xin said seriously: "Those pirates are different from Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi has already established a foundation by occupying 36 islands overseas. It can be said that he already has the embryonic form of a small country. So he no longer wants to be a Pirates, he no longer wants to be a fake pirate, he wants to have an honorable name, so he wholeheartedly wants to negotiate with the court and be recruited by the court.

However, other pirates are different from Japanese pirates, they do not have such a solid foundation as Wang Zhi, they can only be pirates, Japanese pirates, or smuggle with the powerful families of Daming.So they absolutely do not allow Wang Zhi to be recruited, because they all know that once Wang Zhi is recruited, it will be their doomsday. Church of the joint.And the only way to destroy the alliance between Wang Zhi and Chaotang is to kill me, Luo Xin. As long as I, Luo Xin, die, the matter of opening the sea will be delayed, if not over.And once I die, the reason for my death is that my brother transferred all the soldiers capable of fighting to attack Lang'er Island. In fact, there is no pirate on Lang'er Island. Brother, you are bound to be implicated. At that time , Brother, you will definitely not be able to stay in the southeast anymore.In this way, once the two of us die and are transferred away, the matter of recruiting Wang Zhi will be over.This is what the pirates wanted. "

Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin strangely, for a while, a faint disdain flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself:
"The Great Ming Army God is nothing more than that!"

But his face sank and he said: "No, you mean that those pirates and Japanese pirates set a trap for me to attract my army. In fact, Lang'er Island is empty, and they are going to attack Suhang?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded firmly.

Hu Zongxian smiled and said: "Isn't it because you are worried about only attacking Hangzhou?"

"Brother, you..." Luo Xin's face darkened.

Hu Zongxian waved his hand and said: "No, this matter cannot be a trap. You don't know Wang Zhi's prestige at sea, those pirates and pirates dare not go against Wang Zhi."

"That's because they haven't been cornered. If Daming opens the sea and recruits Wang Zhi, then they are cornered."

"You think too much!" Hu Zongxian said lightly: "Besides, those Japanese pirates and pirates dared to go ashore to plunder some villages, and at most attacked county towns. They would never dare to attack prefectural cities like Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"Brother..."

"No, don't talk about it, I've made up my mind." Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian said solemnly: "As you said, I, Hu Zongxian, can't afford it now. I must wipe out the Japanese pirates as soon as possible. We must achieve a great victory in the shortest possible time, otherwise His Majesty will not spare me. No, you don't want my brother to be beheaded by His Majesty, do you?"

"But... if this is really a trap, have you thought about the consequences?"

A trace of displeasure appeared in Hu Zongxian's heart, and he secretly said in his heart: "You said at the beginning that you would not participate in the Anti-Japanese War, but now you have come to me to point fingers at me."

His face darkened and he said, "Even if the Japanese pirates go ashore, you can put your heart in your stomach if you don't mind. I also have troops in Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Luo Xin couldn't help but bitterly said: "Can the ones you left behind be able to fight?"

Hu Zongxian hesitated for a moment and said: "The army has everything ready, and it cannot retreat at this time."

"Brother, think about it carefully, is it possible for the Japanese pirate party to spread so much? Isn't this a trap?"

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly and thought for a while, "This should be Wang Zhi doing this on purpose to let me know that he is now serving the court to express his sincerity."

"You..." Luo Xin didn't know what to say anymore.

"No!" Hu Zongxian said with a sincere expression: "Although I am negotiating with Wang Zhi now, it is a slow effort. Your Majesty can't wait, so I can't wait. If I procrastinate any longer, I'm afraid I haven't waited for you yet." After reaching an agreement with Wang Zhi, His Majesty's Jin Yiwei came to the gate of my Governor's Mansion. So, you have to persuade me. I conclude that it must be Wang Zhi who wants to express his sincerity and integrate many Japanese pirates in advance. Anyone who doesn't listen The Japanese pirates under his orders, whether they are real or fake, he will definitely kill them all, and I will wait until Langer Island is in chaos, and kill them once and for all."

Luo Xin's heart was full of helplessness, he knew he couldn't persuade Hu Zongxian, so he had no choice but to say: "Why don't you give me General Qi and my elder brother's army."

"No!" Hu Zongxian said decisively.

Luo Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Then you only give me my brother's army."

"No!" Hu Zongxian said in a concentrated voice: "No, this battle is extremely important to me, and I must go all out."

"Brother..."

"Stop talking, I'm leaving immediately. Come and see off the guests!"

"Forget it, I'll go by myself!"

Luo Xin was also angry, flicked his sleeves, opened the door and left.He got off the big boat, got on his horse and went away.Hu Zongxian stood on the deck, watching Luo Xin's leaving back, clenched his fists tightly, and whispered:
"I will succeed."

"grown ups!"

Seeing Luo Xin coming on a galloping horse, the ten people rushed to meet him.Luo Xin's face sank like water, and he shouted in a low voice:

"go!"
