Zhangwu County and City.
A large number of Japanese pirate prisoners were detained by the Qin army. Along the way, people kept attacking the Japanese pirates with rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and stones.
These Japanese pirate captives seemed to have guessed their future. After all, they committed heinous crimes in Zhangwu. Now that the captured Han people are absolutely impossible to let them go.
So, everyone looked sad, frightened, and desperate, and no longer looked as arrogant and ferocious as before.
Su Dingfang looked at the hundreds of prisoners of war on the execution platform and listened to the angry shouts of the people around him. His eyes were full of coldness and he said indifferently: "The time has come for execution."
"kill…"
"kill…"
The shouts of killing continued to sound, the swordsmen and axe-hands raised and lowered their swords, and the heads of Japanese pirates fell to the ground. The whole market was instantly filled with blood.
The great revenge was avenged, and there were also happy sounds of "well done" among the people, but more of them were sobbing sadly. After all, even if revenge was avenged, the dead relatives would never come back.
Su Dingfang watched this scene in silence and sighed: "Immediately write a military report on the situation in Zhangwu and submit it to the lord. Also apply to the lord to exempt Zhangwu County from taxes for half a year."
)
“Report...to the general to discover the whereabouts of the escaped Japanese pirate leader.”
Hearing this, Su Dingfang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he shouted: "Immediately fire up five thousand elite cavalry, we are going to kill all these Japanese pirates."
)
Not long after Su Dingfang issued the military order, five thousand elite cavalry were assembled outside the city, and then headed east under the leadership of Su Dingfang.
After Mao Liyuan was lucky enough to escape, he led dozens of his men and ran all the way to the seaside, fearing that they would be overtaken by the Qin army's cavalry.
"You guys, go to Yangzhuang, Lizhuang, and Wuzhuang respectively to convey my military order and tell everyone to withdraw to the coast. We are leaving Jizhou." Mao Liyuan ordered with a gloomy look.
He just ran out of Zhangwu County and witnessed the Qin army's cavalry siege the city. Even without looking at what happened next, he knew what happened. His three thousand Japanese soldiers must have been wiped out.
At this moment, Mao Liyuan only had one thought in his mind, and that was bad luck.
Maori Motonari's heart was bleeding. He hadn't even finished plundering a county, but he hit the Qin army's guns and lost three thousand elites. It was a huge loss.
“Lord, where can we go after leaving Jizhou?”
After hearing what his men said, Mao Liyuan thought for a moment and sighed: "Go to Qingbei and find Shangshang Yanxin. I hope he can give up an area for the sake of the alliance so that the family can plunder and recover." Be energetic."
In fact, when he learned that the Qin army had an army of 100,000 troops in Bohai County, Mao Liyuan had plans to leave Jizhou.
Jizhou's prefectures and counties by the sea only have one county in the Bohai Sea, and a hundred thousand Qin troops can still defend the entire Bohai Sea even if they are divided among the counties.
Maoli Yuan had no chance at all in Jizhou. If he had to stay, his army would be annihilated sooner or later, so he could only leave Jizhou and go to other areas to plunder.
When Su Dingfang led the cavalry and chased them to the coast, Maori Yuanjiu's four thousand Japanese soldiers had all boarded the ship, but they had not yet set sail.
Seeing the Qin cavalry coming after them, Mao Liyuan quickly shouted: "Set the boat, quickly set the boat."
Su Dingfang was a step too late after all. Although he intercepted several ships and killed three hundred Japanese pirates, the remaining Japanese pirates had already set sail to sea.
“Damn it.”
Looking at the Japanese pirates not far away from the sea, Su Dingfang's eyes were full of unwillingness.
"General, these Japanese pirates seem to be heading towards Qingbei." Su Xian said. “Qingbei?”
Su Dingfang was immediately excited. After all, Qingbei has three states and counties near the sea. The coastal defense line is much longer than that of Jizhou. In addition, Zhou Yu's troops are not sufficient. Most of them are reorganized from prisoners of war. The force is not strong, and it is obviously more difficult to resist the Japanese pirates.
"This group of Japanese pirates are really cunning. Knowing that our army has sufficient troops in the Bohai Sea, they went to attack Qingbei, which lacked troops."
Su Dingfang's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately Feige sent a letter to Zhou Yu, reminding him that the Japanese pirates in the Bohai Sea have gone to Qingzhou."

——————
Qingbei.
After finding out the information about Qingbei, Shangshang felt extremely confident. He never expected that so many great things would happen in Qingbei in such a short period of time.
Li Jing, who was clearly at a disadvantage, powerfully defeated the Northern Han coalition forces, and Zhou Yu finally unified the Qingbei counties.
After learning this, Shangshan Jianxin had a vague idea of retreating, but he was unwilling to retreat just like that. He was extremely conflicted in his heart.
The strength of the Qin army is too strong, and Qin King Qin Hao is a master who only takes advantage but cannot suffer losses. Once he plunders Qingbei, he will offend Qin Hao, and there is no guarantee that he will not retaliate against himself in the future.
But even if Qin King Qin Hao wants to take revenge, can he still send troops to attack Japan before he unifies the Central Plains? And by the time he unified the Central Plains, it would be decades later, and by then the hatred at this time would probably be almost forgotten.
But what if he is the King of Qin and holds a grudge...
Just when Shang Shang Kanxin was wavering from side to side and unable to make up his mind, news came from his subordinates that Mouri Gen had come to seek refuge with nearly 4,000 Japanese soldiers.
Originally, Shangshang Jianxin was hesitant, not only because he was afraid of the strength of the Qin army, but also because of his own lack of strength.
Even if Zhou Yu does not have sufficient troops, he still has 65,000 troops in Qingbei. Even if most of them are prisoners and have insufficient combat power, the threat to Shangshang Jianxin is still not small.
Shangshan Jianxin only had 7,000 troops in hand, and he was plundering Qingbei, which was guarded by more than 60,000 troops. If he accidentally started a war, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties and the gain would not be worth the loss.
But with the support of the Maori family's 4,000 troops, the number of troops Shangshan Jianxin can mobilize has reached 11,000, and he is sure to have a fight with Zhou Yu.
Mao Liyuan was originally worried that Shangshan Jianxin would be able to live alone and was unwilling to allocate an area to him. Little did he know that Qingbei was also a tough nut to crack and Shangshan Jianxin and his family couldn't handle it.
Shangshang Kanxin was overjoyed that Maori Motoji took the initiative to surrender. However, before the two armies had joined together, he received the news that Maori Motojiu had been assassinated.
“My lord has received important news. Three Onmyojis sneaked in last night, assassinated Lord Mouri Motonari and then left.”
“What? Mori Yuan is dead?”
Kanenobu Kamishiro had a look of shock on his face. He was just about to take advantage of the opponent, but he didn't expect that Mourimoto would die in an assassination.
"That's not the case. Mouri Yuan is also in the lineage of Onmyoji. How can he die from an assassination so easily? The one who was stabbed last night was just Maori-sama's stand-in."
Shangshan Jianxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. It's good that he's not dead."
If Maori Yuan dies, the four thousand elites of the Maori Department will be in chaos, and Shangshan Jianxin will not be able to use them to deal with Zhou Yu.
To make up for yesterday’s guarantee…
