Chapter 1,675 Why don’t you get enough food and salt?
Watanabe Ichiro stared at his biological brother.
He sent him with more than a thousand people to attack a small county town with only a hundred or so defenders.
This guy actually came back with only more than 200 remaining soldiers.
The losses amounted to more than 800 people.
If Kumaji Watanabe's relationship with him was even slightly estranged, Ichiro Watanabe's butcher knife would have been swung at this bastard's neck.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Watanabe Ichiro wanted to hear what the bastard in front of him could say.
Seeing that Ichiro Watanabe did not speak, Kumaji Watanabe knew that he had temporarily saved his life.
Now it depends on whether this discovery of mine can be taken seriously by Ichiro Watanabe.
"Brother, didn't the brothers who came back from the last naval battle say that the Tang army had long black weapons?"
"We were defeated this time by this weapon!"
"That weapon is so powerful that no one can stand within ten feet."
"Hit him on his body, his whole face was rotten."
"Brother, this weapon is really terrifying!" Watanabe Kumaji said quickly.
Just thinking about the previous scene now made him feel scared.
Watanabe Kumaji thought to himself, if he had been hit by that terrible weapon, would he still be able to come back alive?
Ichiro Watanabe stared at Kumaji Watanabe in front of him. He did not think that Kumaji Watanabe would deceive him about such a thing.
You can always find someone to ask whether this is true or not.
What's more, the subordinates who came back alive from the previous naval battle said the same thing.
Could it be that some powerful weapons really appeared in the Tang Dynasty?
Can someone's entire face be smashed from the front?
What kind of weapon is this?
Or, in fact, this weapon is not that powerful, just because this guy Watanabe Kumaji wants to evade responsibility.
Ichiro Watanabe didn't speak for a long time, and Kumaji Watanabe began to feel uneasy for no reason.
He was worried that Ichiro Watanabe would feel that he was deceiving him.
"Brother, what I say is all true. If you don't believe it, you can ask other brothers."
"Some brothers were only scratched by the weapon, and half of their arms were lost." Watanabe Kumaji said quickly.
Ichiro Watanabe was silent.
Then he waved his hand expressionlessly.
Watanabe Kumaji was kicked out.
Only Ichiro Watanabe and the men who reported the news before were left in the room.
"Pass my order to ambush the island according to the previous plan. As soon as the Tang army lands on the island, attack them immediately." Ichiro Watanabe issued the order.
"Hai!"
…
The waves are vast and there is no land in sight.
Zhao Chen personally led his army to the sea, and according to the words of Zhang Ji, the governor of Quanzhou, they came overseas.
On the warship, Li Ke looked worried.
Zhao Chenming knew that this was probably an ambush, but he wanted to personally take risks like this.
Although Li Ke also knew that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
If Zhao Chen didn't go to Huludao himself, the Japanese prodigals would definitely not be fooled.
The leader of the Japanese rogues will not show up either.
This should be the best way to catch the leader of the Japanese rogues in a short period of time.
But it's just too dangerous.
If nothing unexpected happened, the leader of the Japanese rogues on the opposite side had already received the news when they set off from the port.
The Japanese rogues would definitely ambush themselves and others on the island.
But no one knows what the situation is on the island. If an accident occurs, I really don’t know...
Li Ke looked at Zhao Chen who was standing on the deck, holding the side of the ship with both hands, looking into the distance.
To be honest, many times, he felt that his royal brother was a lunatic.
The crazier something is, the more he wants to do it.
But Li Ke knew better that no matter how capable people like him were, Zhao Chen would not be like this.
I do everything myself, isn’t it because my helpers are not strong enough?
"Brother Emperor, let's have a cup of tea." Li Ke brought a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen took the tea, took a small sip, and then his eyes fell into the distance again.
That's the direction of Huludao.
They should be able to arrive at Huludao tonight.
"Li Ke, what do you think of Huludao?" Zhao Chen suddenly asked.
Li Ke was a little stunned for a moment.
I don’t know what Zhao Chen means by this.
"When I came out of Huludao, I asked the servants in the Quanzhou Governor's Mansion. Many of them were locals, but they had never even heard of the name of this island."
"Brother Huang, you mean that Zhang Ji is lying to us?" Li Ke reacted instantly, anger welling up on his face.
Even the servants of the Dudu Mansion who have been living locally have never heard of Huludao.
How did Zhang Ji know?
This is clearly Zhang Ji’s conspiracy!
Could it be said that Zhang Ji, the governor of Quanzhou, was the chief culprit who colluded with the Japanese rogues?
"Zhang Ji didn't lie to us. Huludao does exist, and it must be the nest of the Japanese prodigals."
"But if that foreign businessman managed to escape with his life when being chased by Japanese rogues, it's naturally a lie." Zhao Chen smiled slightly.
Li Ke was stunned.
Since Zhao Chen knew that Zhang Ji was plotting against him, why did he still dive in without hesitation?
Isn't this something wrong with your brain?
In order to catch the traitor hiding in the city and destroy the Japanese rogues, did you completely disregard your own safety?
"Turn around, turn around now!" Li Ke was anxious.
It is necessary to make the warship change direction.
But he was caught by Zhao Chen: "We are all here, wipe out the Japanese rogues and then talk about other things."
"But it's too dangerous. How many of us do we have to go to sea?"
"If there is an ambush, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the emperor's brother." Li Ke wanted to break away from Zhao Chen.
But he is no match for Zhao Chen.
"Okay, why don't you get enough oil and salt?"
"We can't waste too much time in Quanzhou. It's been almost half a year since we left Chang'an."
"The Japanese rogues have been entrenched in Huludao for several years. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to ambush us and destroy them, it will be even harder for us to find opportunities in the future."
"Moreover, the coastline near Quanzhou Port is too long, and they may land anywhere at any time."
"In the end, the losses suffered will be even greater."
"I rarely endanger myself because of other people, except for the Japanese Ronin."
"The Japanese rogues, every one of them, I will kill them all!" Zhao Chen said slowly.
When he finally said that he wanted the Japanese vagrants to die, his eyes were filled with unspeakable anger.
Li Ke looked confused. Although he didn't know why Zhao Chen hated the Japanese ronin so much, after all, Zhao Chen had never had any conflict with the Japanese ronin before.
It seems that the only Japanese ronin that Zhao Chen knew was the former Japanese princess Su Wo Qinghe.
Could it be that he hated the Japanese ronin so much because of the attack by the Japanese ronin in Yuanfu City?
