Zhou Yu asked with a serious face, his eyes full of fear.
"Now Yamata no Orochi has fled into Chikugo Kingdom and is continuing to flee in the direction of Chikuzen Kingdom. The three generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong are pursuing him with all their strength, but no trace of him has been found yet."
"It's not enough. There are many roads leading to Chizen Country. General Dianwei and others may not be able to catch up. Even if they catch up, they may not be able to leave Yamata no Orochi behind."
At this point, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said with murderous intent: "Just in case, let the two generals Lu Bu and Zhao Yun go with them. Even if they chase to the Wei State, Baqi must be captured."
Kill the big snake."
"promise."
Zhou Yu mobilized such a luxurious lineup to deal with Yamata no Orochi alone, not entirely to avenge Sun Ce, but more to nip this threat in the bud.
Since Zhou Yu led the army to conquer Japan, apart from a few elites, most of the opponents he encountered along the way were rotten fish and shrimps. Therefore, he naturally thought that the Japanese country, with its small country and few people, could not cultivate anything at all.
Master.
But what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that Kyushu, a land where even divine generals had phoenix feathers and horns, would actually have Yamata no Orochi, the god of war.
A whale was raised in the small pond. This is simply unreasonable!
The fact that Yamata no Orochi was able to defeat Sun Ce, Yue Yun and many other famous generals in a row, and that he escaped alone from Southern Kyushu to Northern Kyushu under the pursuit of ten thousand troops, fully proves his strength.
Even today's Qin army, I am afraid that only Lu Bu and Zhao Yun can defeat Yamata no Orochi one on one, let alone the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
A strong general of this level deserves to be taken seriously by Zhou Yu.
After receiving Zhou Yu's order, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were a little surprised. They were just alone. Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong were all gone. Is it necessary for them to also take action?
But after learning about Yamata no Orochi's record, both of them understood why Zhou Yu would go to war. This person was indeed qualified for them to take action.
"It's been almost a month since I came to Japan, and I haven't met anyone who can fight. Now one finally appears. Zilong, you can't snatch it from me." Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun.
After unexpectedly discovering that Xiang Yu, his old rival, was still alive and had advanced to a higher level, Lu Bu was not satisfied with the progress of his cultivation.
Although his strength has been rising steadily over the years, it has been too steady and there has been no qualitative leap. The reason for this is that Lu Bu has lost the goal of catching up.
Although Li Cunxiao and Sun Lingming were both stronger than Lu Bu, Lu Bu had no intention of competing with them. In his mind, Xiang Yu was the only one he wanted to catch up with.
Lu Bu saw Xiang Yu fall off the cliff with his own eyes and believed that he was dead. After losing the goal he was striving to pursue, his training in martial arts naturally slowed down.
But now it was discovered that Xiang Yu was still alive, which made Lu Bu's cooled blood start to burn again.
He also wanted to fight Xiang Yu, but with his current strength, there was no way he could be Xiang Yu's opponent, so he decided to work hard to become stronger.
For generals like Lu Bu, the best way to become stronger is to fight against masters, so he set his sights on Yamata no Orochi.
Although Zhao Yun also wanted to fight Yamata no Orochi, he obviously would not fight with Lu Bu due to his gentle nature, so he smiled and said, "Okay, Fengxian, if you meet this person, Yun will never interfere."
"Okay, it's settled." Lu Bu said with a smile.
After Lu Bu and Zhao Yun packed their bags, they set off from Hizen Kingdom alone.
Red Rabbit Horse and Yezhao Jade Lion are both famous horses that travel thousands of miles. Their location is not far from Chikugo Kingdom, and it only took a few hours to arrive at Chikugo Kingdom.
At this time, the Chikugo Kingdom was under a total lockdown, with soldiers guarding all the major roads, and a portrait of the Yamata-no-Orochi was posted, as if it would not stop until it was killed.
"Have you found any traces of the Yamata no Orochi?" Lu Bu asked.
Yu Jin scratched his head and answered truthfully: "This person's anti-tracking ability is very strong. Apart from the initial trace, he did not leave any clues.
But now the entire Chikugo Kingdom is blocked, and as long as he is still in Chikugo Country, he will never be able to escape from our army’s arrest.”
"That's good."
Lu Bu nodded, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more intense.
Yamata no Orochi, I hope you can please me.
"Report...to General Qi, traces of the Yamata-no-Orochi were found in Shifukuji Castle."
"Okay, I will rush over right now."
After Lu Bu roared, he rode away with his halberd, and in the blink of an eye he was gone.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this, but soon realized something was wrong.
If the Yamata-no-Orochi appears in Seifukuji Castle, it will definitely take the direction of Tosu Castle and then enter Chikuzen Province.
But this is the only way to pass through the Chikuzen Kingdom. The Qin army has already set up a net here to wait. Will Yamata no Orochi be stupid enough to take the initiative to send it to his door?
Zhao Yun felt that this possibility was very small, and he also had a strong feeling.
The reason why Yamata no Orochi was exposed in Seifukuji Castle may have been intentional, in order to mislead those who were chasing him, thinking that he would take the route from Fukudera Castle to Tosu Castle and enter Chikuzen Province, but in fact
But he took other ways to escape.
Zhou Yu has actually analyzed the final destination of Yamata no Orochi's escape, and it must be the Tsushima Strait of Bunzen Province.
Now that Kyushu Island is basically in the hands of the allied forces conquering Japan, the Yamata no Orochi has once again offended the three kingdoms of Qin, Song and Wu. If it stays in Kyushu, it will die sooner or later.
But it is not easy for him to leave Kyushu. After all, except for the Japanese-Japanese Allied Forces, there are no ships anywhere else in Kyushu.
Even if Yamata no Orochi could steal the ship, he couldn't sail it away by himself. Besides, he didn't know where the Japanese navy was located.
Therefore, for Yamata no Orochi, the only way to leave Kyushu is to swim directly to Honshu or Shikoku.
It was too far to swim from Kyushu to Shikoku. Even though Yamata-no-Orochi could swim across it with his physical strength, he might be overtaken by the enemy's naval force along the way.
Therefore, it is relatively safer to swim to Honshu, and the closest place from Kyushu to Honshu is naturally the Tsushima Strait.
At the beginning, after Motoharu Mouri was defeated, his first reaction was to flee to Tsushima Strait, and what he reported was the idea of swimming back to Honshu. Unfortunately, he was caught due to Zhao Yun's prediction.
Yamata no Orochi did not know that Zhao Yun had captured Motoharu Motori in the Tsushima Strait, and the way he escaped from Kyushu was to swim back to Honshu Island through the Tsushima Strait.
In this regard, I can only say that smart people think the same thing.
"The road to Bungo Province is not the only one to Chikuzen Province. You can go from Seifukuji Castle to Akizuki Castle, and then take Hikuma Castle to Bungo Province. You can also take a detour to Bungo Province."
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun already made a decision in his mind, and he decided to go to Hikuma Castle to try his luck.
Although he had no intention of competing with Lu Bu, and he was not sure of his guess, if he guessed it right, with him on the front line of Hikuma Castle, at least he would not let go of the hidden danger of Yamata no Orochi.
"shelf."
With this thought, Zhao Yun decisively rode away and went to Hikuma Castle to guard the Yamata no Orochi.
Yamata no Orochi, who was being hunted by the Qin, Song and Wu kingdoms, was on his way to Hikuma Castle.
Zhao Yun's guess was absolutely correct. The traces of Shifukuji Castle were indeed exposed intentionally by Yamata no Orochi in order to mislead those who were chasing him.
Not only is Yamata no Orochi not stupid, but he is also very smart. Knowing that there is a trap in the direction of Chikuzen, he will naturally not take the initiative to send it to his door.
But he was not the only smart person, and Zhao Yun saw through his intentions.
On the path passing through Hikuma Castle, some embarrassed Yamata no Orochi cursed angrily with a look of resentment: "Sun Ce, you dishonest guy, and these two villains Zhao Guangyi and Zhou Yu, you all deserve to die."
Yamata no Orochi felt that he was very unlucky. In order to escape the pursuit of the Oda family, he fled to Kyushu and lived in seclusion. He has been very honest these years and has not come out to cause trouble.
You know, Yamata no Orochi used to be a murderous butcher, and countless people died at his hands. Now that he is so honest, his enemies should burn high incense.
However, he escaped from the Oda family, but he still did not escape from the allied forces conquering Japan.
After Sun Ce set his sights on the city where he was living in seclusion, he destroyed the city and directly launched a massacre.
To be honest, Yamata no Orochi doesn't care about Bai Xin's life and death. Even if Sun Ce kills all the people in Kyushu, he won't frown at all.
But facing Wu Jun's butcher's knife, Yamata no Orochi couldn't wait to be killed, so it resisted and after killing many people, Sun Ce was lured out.
Yamata no Orochi can speak Chinese, and he made an agreement with Sun Ce before the fight began. If he wins, he will naturally surrender to Wu. After all, nothing is more important to him than his own life.
Yamata no Orochi thought he would easily defeat Sun Ce. After all, in his opinion, Sun Ce was still too young, but he did not expect that Sun Ce's combat power was so strong that even he would find it difficult, but he was still no match for him.
But what Yamata no Orochi didn't expect was that after he defeated Sun Ce, Wu Jun did not abide by the agreement and let him go.
Sun Ce was originally prepared to abide by the agreement, but the Yamata no Orochi struck too hard, injuring Sun Ce and even almost killing him, so the Wu generals naturally gave up.
Yamata no Orochi felt that he had been merciful and spared Sun Ce's life, but Sun Ce broke the contract and was naturally furious, so he stopped holding back and killed Sun Hao and Sun Yi in the process of forcibly breaking through.
Sun Hao is the eldest son of Sun Jing, and Sun Yi is the third son of Sun Jian. They are both members of the Wu clan.
Yamata no Orochi killed them and formed a blood feud with the Sun family. Naturally, Sun Ce could not let him go.
Yamata no Orochi didn't care about this. The worst he could do was to flee. But when he fled to the territory of the Song Dynasty, he was hunted down by the Song and Wu countries.
Especially the insidious Zhao Guangyi, who on the surface wanted to surrender to him, but secretly colluded with Wu State, and must have wanted to deceive and murder him in order to please Sun Ce.
Yamata no Orochi thought he had seen through Zhao Guangyi's intentions, but he didn't know that Zhao Guangyi really wanted to recruit him. At worst, he would hide him after recruiting him, and then change his identity. In this way, Wu Guo would be unable to do anything to him.
However, Yamata no Orochi pretended to surrender, killed more than a dozen generals of the Song State, and then forced his way out, completely offending the Song State.
After escaping from the territory of the Song Kingdom, Yamata no Orochi entered the Higo Kingdom. He asked himself that he had never offended the Qin State, and he never wanted to offend the Qin State, but he was still pursued by the Qin State.
Qin had more masters than Song and Wu combined, so Yamata no Orochi had a harder time escaping.
When being chased by Song and Wu, Yamata-no-Orochi was not injured even though he was physically exhausted. However, he was injured in the first battle after entering Higo Kingdom. His opponents were Xue Dingshan and Yue Yun.
These two young men, one with a halberd and the other with a hammer, are not weak in strength, but they are still too young in the eyes of the Yamata no Orochi.
Although Yamata no Orochi is sure to defeat him, he is now wanted by the Qin army. If he is delayed for too long and is surrounded by the Qin army, it will be bad.
In the end, Yamata-no-Orochi defeated and injured Xue Dingshan, the peak god general, and Yue Yun, the god of war level, in just thirty rounds at the cost of minor injuries.
You know, Yamata no Orochi defeated Sun Ce, but it took him sixty rounds.
Yamata no Orochi's movements were not unpleasant, but he was still a step too slow. After he defeated Yue Yun, the Liangshan Five Tigers had already arrived.
In order to prevent being trapped by the Qin army, Yamata no Orochi forced his way out after paying a certain price, but the injuries were superimposed and had affected his condition.
This also made Yamata no Orochi realize that the Qin Dynasty was far from being comparable to the Song and Wu countries. If you wanted to escape, you could not just rely on force, but also had to outwit it, so there was a plank road built in the future to secretly visit Chencang.
"I, Yamata Torochi, have not been bullied to this extent since I started training. Just wait, I will come back with revenge sooner or later."
Yamata no Orochi said to himself coldly, his eyes full of hatred, but it was soon replaced by solemnity.
He saw a warrior with a white horse and a silver spear at the end of the road. It was obvious that he came with bad intentions.
After Zhao Yun saw Yamata no Orochi really choose to take this path, he couldn't help but sigh: "Fengxian, it's not that Yun wants to rob you, but I met you but you didn't."
Zhao Yun jumped off the horse, pointed the spear in his hand at the opponent, and said calmly: "Yama-no-Orochi, come and die."
[Ding dong, Zhao Yun’s skill ‘Reverse Scale’ activates force 5, basic force 106 (6), Gendan Bright Silver Spear 1, current force increased to 113; ]
Looking at the murderous Zhao Yun, the expression on Yamata no Orochi's face was distorted, and he roared: "It's too much to bully others, Nisunai."
[Ding dong, Yamata no Orochi’s skill ‘Stick God’ is activated, force 4.

Yamata no Orochi has been injured and his combat power has seriously declined. In addition, he has no magic weapon or famous horse, so naturally he cannot be the opponent of Zhao Yun in full condition.
In the twenty-third round of the battle, Zhao Yun discovered a flaw. After a single shot, Yamata no Orochi had a bloodstain on his body, and then the scars on his body continued to accumulate, becoming more and more numerous.
Yamata no Orochi also realized that if he continued fighting like this, he would be killed by Zhao Yun sooner or later, so after repelling Zhao Yun with all his strength, he decisively chose to run away.
Naturally, Zhao Yun would not let him escape, so he followed closely and pursued him at full speed, and this pursuit led him into Bungo Kingdom.
