"Swim across the Takaliang River! Swim across the Takaliang River! It's not good, there's fraud, Shinzaemon will go to Shiroyama Castle to talk, and if there is an abnormal situation, come back immediately and report it! Suddenly, I heard that the three villages and ten soldiers swam across the Takaliang River, and after thinking for a while, the strong sense of foreboding in the heart of the stone crab Shouyuan suddenly could not be suppressed anymore, and suddenly burst out and rose up, and the stone crab Shouyuan at this moment did not hesitate, and immediately shouted and ordered Ohara Shinzaemon to go and explore Shiroyama Castle.

"Yes!" Ohara Shinzaemon, who also felt bad, answered and took the order.

Not long after Ohara Shinzaemon went, he ran back with an angry face and reported: "Your Highness, there are almost rats in Shiroyama Castle, Tojiro Date actually abandoned the city, and only found a few old ashigaru such as Kawasaki Repair Ryo in the empty granary, and that Kawasaki Repair Ryo didn't know anything, so I was really angry!" ”

Shiroyama Castle suddenly appeared the last thing that Shi Crab Shouyuan wanted to see, and he sighed and said: "Date Masahiro's wise one-eyed dragon is really a bit of a doorway, turning passivity into initiative, and now the initiative is in his hands, the only thing I can expect is that Inoue Kansuke can block the attack before we rush back." "The first time Shi Crab Shouyuan called Zhengheng the wise one-eyed dragon of Date Zhengheng, he used to use Date Xiaoer to call Zhengheng, which shows that he has begun to pay attention to Zhengheng, but he didn't realize that he has changed his words.

Ohara Shinzaemon's face suddenly showed a frightened look, and his heart was broken, that Date Masahiro did not use the grain transport team to ambush the grain robbery team, nor did he use the Shiroyama Castle to lure them to attack and ambush and flank them, but directly used the grain transport team Shiroyama Castle to lure the stone crab Shouyuan division of troops to stop, and gave him time and space to swim across the Gaoliang River to attack the weak Shicrab Mountain Castle, what a subtle plan.

Shi Crab Shouyuan looked up at the sky, and his face became solemn again: "Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, and Date is full of tricks, and Shi Crab Mountain City is afraid that it will not be able to resist, and the whole army is marching in a hurry!" Arrive at the Gaoliang River Ferry and stop, and don't take a break in between! With that, he sat in the cage again.

Time back to an hour ago, the Gaoliang River ferry, full of spring, green trees, flowers and plants everywhere, if you have the heart to come to the outing, the scenery here is quite beautiful and beautiful, from the famous tourist scenery of Okayama in the later generations Jingcang Gorge and Jingcang Cave is only 3 or 4 miles.

The Gaoliang River has formed a natural ferry here, the river is very wide, the water is not urgent, the deepest water depth is not above the knee of an adult, for the small Japanese people are not over the thighs, even if the seven or eight-year-old children know a little water can also swim across the river.

The ferry port was originally a small boat, and there was a team of ferry guards, and the leader of the ferry was also a low-level samurai land, but it happened to be at the junction of Stone Crab Mountain Castle and Kawasaki Castle.

The boat had long since disappeared with the news of the ferryman.

The spring breeze is still a little chilly, and the endless river water is mixed with the snow that flows down from afar, and it is very uncomfortable to soak for a long time.

Date Zhengheng led 300 soldiers to load here, the soldiers sat quietly in the grove behind the cliff bank by the river, enduring the spring mosquito bites, rats and snakes, each county was very comfortable, leaning on each other to rest, is it to polish the weapons in their hands, the cold light of the blade told others that they are not here for an outing, when they are really coming for an outing, they must pay the price of their lives.

Akagi approached Zhengheng with his waist and asked, "Your Highness, do you want the soldiers to eat a little rice ball to replenish their bodies to meet the upcoming enemy." ”

"Hmm!" Zheng Heng looked at the sky, the sun had gone west, the sky was orange, and he understood that the earth was about to be shrouded in darkness, nodded and said: "Akagi, tell sΓΉ that they can eat balls, but they can't go to the Gaoliang River to get water to drink, remember not to let people find us, if you can not use raw water, you don't need to use it, and it is even more uncomfortable to drink dirty water into your stomach and wait for a while than not eating." ”

"Yes! Your Highness! Akagi obeyed.

At that time, due to the shortage of food, there was no meal in Changhang, and there were many people who could not eat porridge and radish, so they had the habit of eating two meals in the morning and noon. Where can Zhengheng manage these, he has always cultivated that breakfast, lunch and dinner must be regular and quantitative, even if his teacher is alive, he can't change it, let alone others. After becoming the governor of the house, Zhengheng's habits once again affected the entire Date family, even if it was a meal of porridge with a pickled radish to make the ashigaru people eat and drink spicy, it was really hungry before, and the days of tightening their belts twice a day are gone, just rush to this point, this gang of soldiers who have just followed Zhengheng for no more than a month at most are happy to surrender.

Zhengheng, who had just eaten the rice ball, was lying on the top of the cliff looking at the slope on the opposite bank, and suddenly his one eye narrowed, and he whispered to the retainers beside him: "There is a situation, hidden!" "300 soldiers have their arrows wound, and their guns are lying on the trees, waiting for the lord's order to attack.

Zheng Heng looked at the figure that gradually became clear in confusion, and muttered in a low voice: "The number is not right, why is it not even 100, can you see through my plan, it is impossible, wait, take a closer look, where are they going!" He immediately ordered the retainers beside him: "Ignore them, hide, don't let them find out!" ”

What appeared in front of Zhengheng was that he pounced on an empty man who knew that he had fallen into a bad situation, and found that there was no 200 ashigaru behind him as promised by Ohara Shinzaemon, and when he thought about it, he didn't continue to stay in Ashimi, but went directly to his house. The three village and ten guards shouted viciously: "Stone Crab Shouyuan, you are unkind to me, since you want to kill us to fulfill your prestige, we can't kill you, if you leave, grandpa has no food!" ”

Seeing the more than 50 people who had already crossed the river, Zhengheng muttered for a while, and a small leader of the Tongshan people beside him reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, the one who scolded and shouted was the Ten Soldiers, the head of the thieves who fled that day." ”

Zheng Heng smiled and said: "It turned out to be them, don't pay attention to them, let them leave, there will be a big drama later." ”

Soon after, a spy appeared alone on the riverbank, followed by the group of ten guards from the three villages who had left, and hurried back without much time.

Zheng Heng smiled: "This guy should be a spy of Shi Crab Shouyuan, it seems that Shi Crab Shouyuan doesn't believe in this group of bandits very much." ”

After a while, Zhengheng ordered Kojiro, the small leader of the Tongshan people beside him: "Kojiro, you take 20 Tongshan people to Shixishan City, and when it gets dark, prepare a large number of torches to tie to the trees and burn the fire vigorously. ”

The little boss Kojiro took the order and left, and sure enough, when the sky darkened, a large number of torches were lit in the direction of Stone Crab Mountain City, and the gongs and drums resounded in the sky, and the shouts of killing were endless.

Gaoliang River, which was originally silent, suddenly heard an extremely noisy shouting and killing.
