Lu Ding sighed softly and said: "To be honest, I had this kind of guess before, but I was not sure. But now that Lord Luo has said it, I can't be wrong. I believe Lord Luo's conjecture."

"We also believe it!" The other four masters nodded one after another.

"Once the Japanese pirates come to us, will we really hand them over to Luo Xin? Once the Japanese pirates say everything, isn't it because Luo Xin has caught us?"

"Tch..." Lu Ding sneered and said, "Don't we have enough handles in Luo Xin's hands? Besides, since Luo Xin has already speculated that the Japanese pirates will come to us, will he send someone to monitor us? At that time, you hid the Japanese pirates, and at that time, it was really time for you to exterminate the clan."

The others couldn't help shrinking their necks.They fear Luo Xin from the bottom of their hearts.As long as you think about it carefully, Lu Ding's analysis is right.Since Luo Xin speculated that the pirates would look for them when they came out, why didn't they monitor them?

Lu Ding said again in a concentrated voice: "Lord Luo gave us a chance. If it were another person, he would not look for us at all, but send someone to spy on us, and when the Japanese pirates came to look for us, they would suddenly appear. At that time, is it up to others to flatten and round us? Since Mr. Luo has made this matter clear, he just doesn’t want to catch us and give us a chance.”

"Then... what if we kill the Japanese pirates directly?" the Patriarch of the Wang Family asked in a low voice.

"It's not impossible!" Lu Ding said lightly: "However, our friendship with Mr. Luo ends here."

"Then...how about you?"

Lu Ding showed firmness in his eyes and said: "I am going to completely defect to Mr. Luo. If the Japanese pirates really come, I will catch them alive and send them to Mr. Luo. It will be counted as my vote."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and after thinking about Luo Xin's character, they finally nodded and said:

"Ok, deal."

For two days in a row, the Japanese pirates did not move any more, they just surrounded the city of Hangzhou outside.And the calm in the city of Hangzhou has also been restored. Although they cannot go out of the city, the people are in a stable mood.

Suzhou.

Governor's Palace.

Wan Daquan rode a horse to the gate, jumped off the horse and came to a guard, and handed a greeting card:

"Brother, please inform me, and tell Hangzhou Tongzhi Luo Xin's subordinate Wang Daquan to ask to see Master Butang."

When the guard heard that he was from Hangzhou and was sent by Luo Xin, how could he dare to make things difficult?Immediately, he rushed in with the greeting card, and after a while, he saw him come out again in a hurry, beckoning to Wang Daquan:
"follow me!"

Wang Daquan followed the guard and hurried inside to fight outside the lobby. After the guard informed, he walked in with Wan Daquan.Wang Daquan entered the lobby.

Good guy!
The inside was full of generals in helmets and armour. It seemed that Hu Zongxian was also in a meeting. When he looked straight ahead, he saw Hu Zongxian.He knew Hu Zongxian, and Hu Zongxian knew him, because Wang Daquan always followed Luo Xin, and the two met more than once.Wang Daquan immediately stepped forward to salute and said:
"Meet the Ministry Lord."

A friendly smile appeared on Hu Zongxian's face and said, "Daquan, how did you come out of the city?"

Wang Daquan curled his lips and said: "My lord said that those Japanese pirates are mobs, and Daquan was asked to come down from the city in a hanging basket at night, then mixed in with the Japanese pirates, and then secretly left the Japanese pirate camp. Sure enough, those Japanese pirates are just like what my adults said, they are a group of rabble, and I easily confused them."

Everyone in the hall, including Hu Zongxian, couldn't laugh or cry. They regarded them as fierce Japanese pirates, but in the eyes of Luo Xin and the person in front of them, they were just a bunch of mobs.At the same time, I was very dissatisfied with Luo Xin, although you, Luo Xin, were majestic in the north and maimed the entire grassland tribe, and you were known as the God of the Ming Dynasty.However, the southeast is different from the north. You can go smoothly and win every battle in the north, but you may not be able to see the facts in the southeast.Hu Zongxian pondered for a while and asked:
"Your lord has fought Japanese pirates several times now, how does your lord think of Japanese pirates?"

"My adults never told me." Wang Daquan shook his head and said.

The faces of the generals in the lobby were dumbfounded again, who do you think you are?Your adults will analyze the battle situation with you?Everyone knew in their hearts that Wan Daquan was just a bastard, and he couldn't explain it clearly at all.Yu Dayou on the side finally couldn't help asking:

"Didn't you hear what your lord said in front of your lord?"

"said!"

"What did you say?"

General Wan Daquan straightened his chest and said: "My lord said that those Japanese pirates are not vulnerable to a single blow. If you didn't want to wait for your lord to go to Hangzhou, attack from inside and outside, and wipe out the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, you would have beaten them away long ago. How can there be any room for those Japanese pirates to be arrogant outside the city?"

This time, the generals in the hall were not only dumbfounded, but also very ugly.It turned out that Luo Xin didn't take the Japanese pirates seriously at all, let alone the siege of the Japanese pirates. He could defeat the Japanese pirates at any time, and what he wanted was how to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

"By the way!" Wang Daquan took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Hu Zongxian with both hands, and said, "Master Butang, this is a letter from my lord."

Hu Zongxian took the letter and read it, the expression on his face gradually became more exciting.A pair of eyebrows were knit together for a while, and then stretched out for a while.Then he put down the letter and closed his eyes for another quarter of an hour to think about it. Then he opened his eyes and handed Luo Xin's letter to Yu Dayou.Yu Dayou had been eager to read Luo Xin's letter for a long time, so he hurriedly took the letter and read it. His expression was the same as that of Hu Zongxian, frowning for a while, then stretched out for a while, and then passed the letter to the next general.So each general began to repeat Hu Zongxian's expression.

After reading all the generals, the letter returned to Hu Zongxian's hands. Hu Zongxian glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice:

"What do you guys think?"

Then there was a scene in the lobby that shocked Wang Daquan, and the generals began to scramble to speak, and there were arguments from time to time.They dared to refute even Hu Zongxian's opinion.It was noisy, like a vegetable market.

"My lord, this is completely nonsense! The Japanese pirates want to occupy the southeast? Want to become the king of the southeast? And if possible, the Japanese pirates also want to seize the Daming country? It's a complete joke."

"Exactly! When did the robbers in the sea want to be kings on the shore?"

"I think Mr. Luo was inflated when he expected the Japanese pirates to besiege Hangzhou, thinking that his predictions were correct. However, he was able to predict the Japanese pirates' siege of Hangzhou, but he may not be correct about the future occupation."

"How do the generals explain that the Japanese pirates really attacked Hangzhou as Mr. Luo expected, instead of attacking the Navy?"

"My lord, the general thinks that Xu Hai and the others are stalking the west, waiting for us to go to Hangzhou, and then they suddenly attack the navy. Lord Luo Xin is completely wrong. If we really go to Hangzhou, we will be fooled .”

"My lord, now Lord Luo Xin can protect Hangzhou without worries. We can no longer send troops to Hangzhou. Instead, we should divide the current military force into two parts, one part defends Suzhou and the other part defends the navy. We don't need to send troops, just stick to it can."

"If we want to stick to it and not send troops, wouldn't we let these tens of thousands of Japanese pirates run around, burning, killing and looting our Ming people?" Hu Zongxian's expression darkened.

"Master Butang... It is impossible for tens of thousands of Japanese pirates to gather and flee all the time. In that case, wouldn't everything be snatched by Xu Hai, Ye Ma, Xin Wulang and others? Where are those small groups of Japanese pirates?" Part? We can encircle and suppress those small groups of Japanese pirates and wipe them out."

"What about Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang?" Hu Zongxian's face became even more ugly.

"This..." All the generals looked at me and I looked at you, and finally a general whispered: "Lord Ministry, as long as we wiped out those small groups of pirates, it would be a great achievement. As for Xu Hai and the others, They are pirates, and they will return to the sea after all. They will always grab some ships...such as ordinary people's ships..."

Wang Daquan stared blankly at what happened in front of him. It is not that he has never been a soldier. He was also a general at the northern border.But never seen anything like it.I couldn't help feeling contempt for Hu Zongxian in my heart, and I couldn't help showing such a look on my face.Not only the generals in the hall saw his expression, but Hu Zongxian also saw it clearly, and his expression became even uglier.Seeing Hu Zongxian's ugly face, and the generals in the hall even more so, one general stared at Wang Daquan and shouted:
"Our generals are here to discuss military matters, what are you doing standing here alone? Why don't you get out?"

Wan Daquan even looked down on Hu Zongxian at this time, how could he look down on these generals?How could he endure such a general's scolding?Immediately rolled his eyes and said:

"You think I'm willing to listen here? The majestic army of the imperial court is actually afraid of Japanese pirates like a tiger. They dare not fight, but only know that they hide in the city. If you are under my lord's hands, you will all have your heads chopped off and hung on the flagpoles." .”

"Presumptuous!" Hu Zongxian made a big case and said, "Is this the place where you, a little family, will talk?"

Wan Daquan curled his lips and said: "My lord, I'm not talking about you. When my lord led troops in the north, he always said the same thing. All generals can only carry out orders. How can they be like your lord? Ordinary? For military affairs, the commander-in-chief of the first army plans strategies, and the generals only need to follow the orders of the commander-in-chief. Anyone who dares to slander under my lord's tent will have his head chopped off by my lord."

Hu Zongxian's face was also red, and there was a trace of bitterness in his eyes.How could he not want to be like Luo Xin, but the situation in the southeast is fundamentally different from that in the north.He waved his hand and said:

"Go down and wait."

Wan Daquan saluted carelessly and retreated. Hu Zongxian looked at the generals and fell into deep thought again.At this time, the generals were also embarrassed by Wan Daquan, and seeing Hu Zongxian's gloomy face, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.Hu Zongxian was thinking about whether the content of Luo Xin's letter was credible. Could it be that the Japanese pirates really wanted to occupy the entire southeast, become the king of the southeast, and then attack the entire Ming Dynasty?
Ignore Luo Xin?
Once Luo Xin's words come true, and the southeast will be in chaos, even if Hu Zongxian has nine heads, it will not be enough for Emperor Jiajing to chop off.

but……

If you really send troops...

send troops?

Hu Zongxian was bitter in his heart, probably only Yu Dayou could follow him to Hangzhou here, the rest would not obey orders at all.This is really not nonsense, the soldiers in the southeast are really pissed, even Hu Zongxian can't help it.

If he takes Yu Dayou to Hangzhou, not to mention that these thousands of soldiers are too small compared to the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates. I'm afraid he, the governor of the southeast, has come to an end.

This not only put Hu Zongxian in a dilemma!
After pondering for a while, he finally decided to send troops to Hangzhou City. If the future situation is really as Luo Xin expected, but he did not send troops to Hangzhou, with the current attitude of Emperor Jiajing towards him, he might be killed. his head.Even if it's just a show.So, he turned to Yu Dayou and said:
"General Yu, let's go to Hangzhou."

Sure enough, Yu Dayou didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded and said: "The last general's order."

Immediately afterwards, Hu Zongxian issued another order to divide the remaining army into two parts, one part stayed in Suzhou and the other part stayed in the navy.When those generals saw that Hu Zongxian only took Yu Dayou to Hangzhou, and they didn't have to go out to fight the Japanese pirates face to face, they just stood firm, and they all gave a long sigh of relief in their hearts.Seeing their appearance, Hu Zongxian felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and snorted coldly:

"Everyone, General Yu and I only have 5000 people going to Hangzhou, which is still a little less. Who else volunteers to go to Hangzhou with me?"

All the generals were silent, and Hu Zongxian said with a colder face: "Think about it, if you wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese pirates under the city of Hangzhou this time, it would be a great achievement. You missed this opportunity, and you will come back later." Opportunities like this are rare.”

The generals remained silent, and Hu Zongxian said again, with anger already in his tone.

"Okay, since you're not going, don't be jealous when you see this great achievement. You don't have a share of the credit for the city of Hangzhou."

All the generals lowered their heads and said nothing, Hu Zongxian shouted angrily: "Xuan Wanquan come in."

Wan Daquan walked in, saluted Hu Zongxian carelessly, then stared at Hu Zongxian without speaking.Hu Zongxian didn't care about Wan Daquan, and said in a concentrated voice:

"You go back and report to your lord, just say that Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou will lead 5000 people to Hangzhou immediately, what should be done then, let your lord come up with a charter."
