"See Lord Fuzun!"

Li Mu's eyes flashed with joy, and he respectfully saluted Lin Haoran, and Commander Liu turned around and saw that it was Lin Haoran who had gone up to the city wall, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully.

Lin Haoran motioned for the two of them to get up, and then walked lightly to the city wall, looking condescendingly at the Pearl River.

As the course of the Pearl River continues to move south, there is already a large open space outside the city, and the grass in the open space looks green. It's the season of falling flowers, and the meadows are blooming with colorful wildflowers.

Lin Haoran naturally didn't come up to appreciate the spring, with a touch of melancholy on his face, he looked at the widow who had just come out of a private house. There they were screaming and screaming, carrying all sorts of looted things in their hands.

Most of these Japanese are barefoot, with an ugly moon head, and the weapons in their hands include Japanese knives, small knives, wild knives and tanagi knives, as well as Japanese guns, all of which prove that this group is indeed a real Japanese sword.

It is said that heroes are born in troubled times, and now Japan is in the Warring States period, and some Japanese people are really outlaws. If it is one-to-one, Daming's side is indeed at a loss, and it is no wonder that the head of the real widow will be higher and higher.

Lin Haoran turned his head and looked at a place a mile to the west, where the gang of invading would-be robbers had already set up camp, and the camp was full of smoke, resolutely intending to be stationed outside the city.

The number of Japanese pirates has been reported by spies, about two or three thousand, and the proportion of real Japanese has reached thirty percent. It's just that these more than 2,000 people want to eat the city of Guangzhou, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

The Wako were usually idle organizations, often composed of several forces that came together in response to wealth.

Like those real widows, they came across the ocean, and all they wanted was money. They definitely don't put the lives of their subordinates to fill in a hole for the sake of a city, after all, their purpose is to make money, not to establish a new dynasty here.

"Lord Fuzun, please allow me to lead 3,000 troops out of the city to suppress the Japanese!"

Li Mu knelt on one knee and directly asked Lin Haoran to fight.

If he can get the full support of this big man, he will definitely be able to get what he wants, so as to lead his troops out of the city to face the battle, and achieve his long-cherished wish to protect his family and defend the country since he was a child.

When Commander Liu saw this scene, he was immediately furious in his heart, and said to this unruly general in a warning tone: "Li Tongzhi, pay attention to your identity!" ”

"My bloody boy should be loyal to the country, and he should go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the court!" Li Mu's face was not afraid, and he said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Commander Liu was even more angry in his heart, and asked loudly: "Li Mu, are you saying that this commander does not want to be loyal to the country and unwilling to serve the imperial court?" ”

"I didn't mean that!"

Li Mu was not completely stunned, and immediately denied it. It's just that on his face, there is a dead pig who is not afraid of being happy, and he resolutely has no intention of admitting his mistake.

"Commander Liu, please don't be angry!" Lin Haoran faintly blocked.

Commander Liu was angry, but he still maintained a little jealousy and respect for Lin Haoran, so he said in a cotentious manner: "Yes! ”

"Li Tongzhi, you should get up first!" Lin Haoran looked at Li Mu, who was kneeling alone, and said lightly.

Li Mu stood up, looking at Lin Haoran with hopeful eyes, eager to get the support of this big man. As long as this big guy supports him, not to mention the Guangzhou avant-garde, the troops of the other three guards may also be under his command.

It was just a sentence, but it was like a basin of cold water poured down from Li Mu's head.

"Li Tongzhi, I understand your desire to be loyal to the country, but now the widows outside the city are like tigers and wolves. If it is not careful, the people of the entire city of Guangzhou will suffer, and this risk should not be lightly involved! ”

Lin Haoran looked at this tall acquaintance, and made his attitude very clear.

But it's not that he doesn't believe in Li Mu, but he doesn't believe in the old soldiers of the Guangzhou Siwei, and he doesn't believe in the other generals of the Guangzhou Siwei who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

If he fully supported Li Mu to go out of the city to face the battle, the loss of troops would be small, and once he was really beaten into the city of Guangzhou by the Japanese invaders, then he, the prefect of Guangzhou, would also be at an end.

All along, his goal was not to suppress the Japanese, but to pursue the power of this dynasty. Now, if he chooses to act impulsively, the likely price is that all his previous efforts will be in vain.

Although he will not deny his relatives for the sake of so-called power like some powerful ministers, it is impossible for him to ruin his good future for the sake of impulse.

Now, a lot of the responsibility for this plague does not lie with him, but Yan Rudou, who is responsible for guarding the Pearl River Estuary. As long as Guangzhou City is not lost, the board of the imperial court will only hit Yan Rudou's body, and he will not be blamed.

In this case, what reason does he have for getting involved, he just needs to sit here and collect "fishing profits".

"My lord, there are less than 3,000 Japanese soldiers outside, and we have four guards, so why are we afraid of them?"

When Li Mu heard Lin Haoran say this, he immediately pointed to the Japanese camp road in the southwest.

Commander Liu stood up and accused loudly: "Li Mu, I think you are clearly pursuing military merits, and you are ignoring the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou City. You keep saying that you will serve the imperial court, but do you know what the consequences will be if the Japanese invade the city of Guangzhou? ”

Ay!

Lin Haoran sighed lightly, although Commander Liu's words were alarmist, it was not that he did not weigh the consequences. Judging from the current situation, there really is no need for him to take this risk.

Li Mu looked at Lin Haoran who walked down the city wall in disappointment, his eyes were full of grief and indignation. I thought that this Lin Lei Guild, who represented the Heavenly Dao, supported him, but it was no different from those officials who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

When night fell, the whole city of Guangzhou fell into darkness.

The presence of the Japanese outside the southern city undoubtedly brought a huge sense of oppression to the city of Guangzhou, and the lively Chengxuan Street became extremely quiet.

Lin Haoran took a sedan chair back to the mansion, but before he entered the mansion, there was bad news.

Following the previous bad news, the protagonist is naturally the wild girl of the tiger girl.

It is said that when the Japanese invaded, the tiger girl was playing on the west gate, but she witnessed the scene of the people and military households pouring into the city of Guangzhou.

It's just that unlike the North City Gate, a few Japanese robbers snatched horses at the Pearl River Wharf, but they came around the city. These widows were so bold that they even covered up and killed the people in the back.

The guards of the west gate were greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, but gave orders to close the city gate.

In order to save the people outside the city, she rushed out of the city with her subordinates and several heroic Guangzhou guards to kill the enemy.

Although she led the men to exterminate the rampant widows, the drawbridge of the moat had been pulled up, and the city gates were firmly closed, so that the group could not enter the city at all.

The worse news was that Hu Niu and her men seemed to be being pursued by the Japanese outside the city, and she led the people to flee in the direction of Foshan Town to the west.

"Call me Li Mu!"

When Lin Haoran learned the bad news, he changed his mind and immediately gave an order.

If there is anything more important in this world than power, it is not a beauty, but a wild girl who likes to cause trouble. In matters related to the safety of the tiger girl, he can put aside the officialdom struggle.
