Chapter 498: Growing
In terms of the results of this handover with Yuanlu Zhijun, it should be said that Le Yuan had the upper hand, not only taking the opportunity to solve many generals of Yuanlu Zhijun, but also opening Zhuge Liang's hole cards, and more importantly, establishing an invincible image in his own group.
On the other hand, Le Yuan also understood one of his major disadvantages, that is, there were too few people. If there are ten unparalleled generals in good condition on Le Yuan's side today, then Le Yuan is not using escape as a last resort today, but taking people and Daji to the death.
Le Yuan dragged the most difficult Zhuge Liang and his gossip battle array, as for the others, they divided the remaining troops and annihilated them, and the team of less than 10,000 people in the Yuan Lu Zhijun on the opposite side, as long as it could be delayed for a while, Le Yuan was sure that Zhuge Liang would be subdued first in the case of exploding some hole cards.
"Prime Minister, has he become an enemy? After the collapse of the Shu Kingdom, everyone changed, and his brother and elder brother also became enemies, what is this for? ”
After rescuing the two Diao Chan, Xingcai once secretly sneaked back to the battlefield, so he also saw the final battle, and also saw the eldest brother Zhang Bao under Zhuge Liang.
"Probably coercion, after all, with Zhuge Liang's temperament, if he was not manipulated, it would be absolutely impossible to do such a thing as betraying the master, and I can see very clearly that Zhuge Liang's eyes are definitely not something that a controlled person can have."
Le Yuan's comfort made Xingcai's mood a lot better, after all, as the first strategist of Shu and the former prime minister of Shu, Zhuge Liang's weight is not so easy to erase.
And after chatting about the battle just now, Le Yuan put his mind back on the two Diao Chan girls who came back. Diao Chan, who has just betrayed the camp of Yuan Lu Zhi, has nothing to say, most of the people present know her, but the peerless female general with a whip next to him is afraid that no one except Le Yuan really knows her identity.
"This kind of thing happened, and it happened so coincidentally to the two of you." Le Yuan looked at the Diao Chan and the woman gathered together and shook his head repeatedly, the expression on his face was quite strange. He asked the woman, "What should I call you, do I call you Diao?" But it seems to have the same name as this one here. ”
It is no one else who stays with Diao Chan in this world, it is the Diao Chan in the Dynasty Warriors 5 version, after all, it is too rare for a peerless martial artist to use a whip, especially a woman with such a stunning color makes Le Yuan forget it.
"Diao? Is she too? The identity of the fifth generation of Diao Chan suddenly surprised a group of people who didn't know their identity. However, with Le Yuan's on-site statement, and Lu Qiling and Guan Yinping's two living templates as evidence, everyone finally accepted two different Diao Chan.
I saw the fifth generation Diao Chan step forward and hold his chest with one hand while introducing to everyone: "It's okay for everyone to call me Xiu'er, although I was just named Diao Chan by my father-in-law, but before I arrived in seven days, I left him and came to this strange world, and I don't know if there is a chance to return to the world where I am, everyone still call me by this name." ”
And after knowing the identity of Le Yuan and the others in the Yuanlu Zhi Resistance Alliance, there is no doubt that he joined the team together, not to mention that the two women have already been on the list of Yuanlu Zhijun's must-catch. The life-saving grace of Le Yuan and the others alone was already worth it, and the strength shown by Le Yuan undoubtedly boosted their confidence in overthrowing Yuan Lu Zhi's rule.
Although the team has grown further, it is not enough to decadent Yuan Lu Zhi's rule. In Le Yuan's prediction, even if he himself can withstand the pressure of the Demon King Yuan Lu Zhi, if he wants to successfully create a chance for Le Yuan to fight Yuan Lu Zhi 1V1, at least more than 30 peerless generals and a team of 100,000 people are needed, and this is still the strength that Yuan Lu Zhi should have after clearing out Yuan Lu Zhi's scattered troops.
From the time they separated from Zhao Yun to the present, Le Yuan's team has grown to seven people. Although it has not yet been able to really start a war with Yuanlu Zhijun, it is a good start, and the group that started to move forward again is after all the members disguised themselves into acrobatic song and dance troupes. He came to the Edo area, where Liu Bei would be imprisoned in the letter.
And the acrobatic class formed by Le Yuan and others can be said to have blatantly stepped into this area with strong defense, and Le Yuan became the boss of the acrobatic song and dance troupe.
A singing and dancing group is formed by two Diao Chan who were once born as courtesans, Keiji Maeda performs traditional Japanese performances, Lu Qiling and Xingcai perform throwing knives and equestrian skills, and Guan Yinping cooperates with Le Yuan to perform various difficult moves.
On the third day of coming to the Edo area, Rakubuchi and others had already finished the day's performance. Although it is just a performance to disguise the identity of everyone. But everyone can be said to be enjoying it, coupled with Le Yuan's indistinguishable disguise methods, the safety of the group can be said to be completely unworrying.
After completing the performance, everyone came to a room rented by the acrobatic troupe, and Le Yuan and his party gathered around a table and began to exchange information.
The first person to speak was Keiji Maeda, who held his chin and said with a smile: "Uncle Ben didn't come in vain. Uncle Moto is very familiar with Edo, and through the past two days of research, I have confirmed that the military arrangements here have been changed, and although it is not visible on the surface, I am afraid that if we break in, we will fall into it. ”
Hearing Maeda Keiji's words, Xingcai nodded and said to the others: "I also made a great discovery, I found out in the secret investigation that there are a large number of Shu generals in this city, including Zhou Cang, Mi Zhu, Ma Yan, Fa Zheng, and there are even rumors that the father and the second uncle in Edo Castle are also guarding it, which seems to be exactly the same as what the letter says." I suspect that it was Kongmei-sama who rearranged the defenses of this Edo Castle, and I seem to have seen his style of layout. ”
"Well, I have also collected a lot of good things, this is the consumption of grain and grass in the city in the past month, according to my estimates, there are about 10,000 permanent garrisons in the city now, as for the strength of military generals, there are no less than 20 people, even so, although there are rumors of important people in the city from time to time, but there has been no positive answer."
Guan Yinping is not completely busy, through the good relationship with the local restaurants and snack shops in Edo City, she has almost obtained a lot of information about the defenders from a little bit of information.
As for the information obtained by the two sisters, it is not simple, and the Edo region is in the core area of the rule of Farro Chi. It was almost in the nearest few cities within the radius of the Far Lu Zhi forces, so it was almost impossible to get information about the rebels from here, but the two of them had a lot of the latest news in the small talk with the guests.
The call to rebel against Yuan Lu Zhi has almost never been heard, and all the humans in this world are all pulled by Yuan Lu Zhi from various time and space, and almost none of them are happy to let them leave their homeland to survive in this chaotic world.
Therefore, the scattered Three Kingdoms and Warring States forces can easily pull out a team. But without exception, under the encirclement and suppression of the purging team led by Daji, they have been shattered, and the most recent is the Yellow Turban Army that was re-established by the husband and wife Asai Nagamasa and Ah Shi and Zhang Jiao was scattered, among which Zhang Jiao did not escape and was used by Daji to sacrifice the flag.
And the leader of Le Yuan also got a crucial piece of information, but Le Yuan did not inform the few people present. Just after their performance yesterday, Rakubuchi was extremely sharp to find a peerless military general in the audience, and more importantly, this person was not a member of the Edo garrison.
There is a thatched hut outside Edo Castle, and no one has lived in it until when the owner of the house has lived in, and the only thing that can be known is that they have been staying here for more than a month.
I saw a tall man carrying a bucket of rice into the thatched house, and then came to a short and fat man sitting by the bonfire and knelt down, lowered his head and took off his straw hat and said: "My lord, Edo Castle is still firmly controlled by the forces of Yuanlu Zhi, and it seems that it will not be able to take it back in a short time. ”
The short and fat man turned around and was none other than Tokugawa Ieyasu, the former lord of Edo, and the man kneeling in front of him was Honda Tadakatsu, Tokugawa Ieyasu's most loyal retainer.
Tokugawa Ieyasu patted Honda Tadakatsu on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, I can save my life now thanks to your bravery, but it seems that the most important thing now is to find scattered partners, aren't you worried about your daughter Inagi?"
"Dao'er doesn't need me to worry, what I'm worried about now is Yuanlu Zhijun's increasingly strict search, and I'm worried that we won't be here for long."
Honda's fears were not unreasonable, and as the rebels outside continued to be suppressed, the day would come when Lu Zhijun would have his hands free to deal with those who were hiding within his forces.
But they saw that their wooden door was slammed open, and a person who surprised them appeared in front of him.
"Yes, it's you? How did you end up here? ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu, a man who has become a lost dog, still can't help but tremble at the moment he sees Rakubuchi, and the reason why he lost Edojo Rakubuchi in the first place is definitely not a small one. But then he remembered that Le Yuan had also rebelled, and calmed down a little, but he still unconsciously moved towards the location of his weapon.
And Honda Tadakatsu was directly in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu, a pair of tiger eyes glared at Le Yuan, if his eyes could kill, then he had already killed Le Yuan I don't know how many times.
"Tokugawa Ieyasu, do you want to retake Edo and take revenge on that guy Torochi?" Le Yuan asked suddenly.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was also stunned by Le Yuan's question, and then replied excitedly, "Why don't you want to?" I swear to kill Yuan Lu Zhi in this life to pay tribute to my dead retainers and people! ”
"Okay, ambitious. But I'm afraid I can't do this even if I die with your strength alone, I want to cooperate with you now, are you willing to join our team and contribute your own strength to the elimination of Yuan Lu Zhi? ”
Rakubuchi smiled and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Rakubuchi wants to make a big move in Edo, and he needs the help of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the host, and compared to the aggression of others, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has been frightened, is easier to control Rakubuchi.
Rakubuchi had just proposed cooperation, but before Honda Tadakatsu could object, Tokugawa Ieyasu slapped his thigh and agreed to the matter. (To be continued.) )
