Chapter 98 A chance encounter at a corner
The third team of Takahara, who has experienced the position of the commander of the commander of the commander of Fujiwara and the temporary commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the Takahara, has been escaping into the mountains of Zhangzhou Prefecture for several months, led by Fujiwara Tomosuke, the deputy commander of Fujiwara Saburo, and has escaped into the mountains of Zhangzhou Prefecture for several months.
Although the mountains in Zhangzhou Prefecture are beautiful, they are far away from people. Even those mountain people will find it difficult to survive for a long time, let alone the third team of Gaotianyuan, which has a large number of people.
Therefore, over the past few months, the entire third team has lived a very miserable life. It is easy to say that it is in the summer and autumn. After all, there are many wild fruits and animals in the forest. Even if they are hungry and full, they can barely survive. Moreover, when they spend the most dangerous time in the first month, they can still use the fur they have caught to the town to exchange for some food, salt and other necessities.
But when winter comes, even if Zhangzhou Prefecture is not as cold as the north, it can no longer support so many Japanese people.
Therefore, considering that it has been several months since it was wanted and pursued, the government's pursuit and suppression efforts must have dropped a lot, Fujiwara Tomosuke led his subordinates to a mountain close to the crowd and simply rebuilt the base of the third team.
Although Shen Wanan, who was caught by them before, was lucky enough to die, he lived a life worse than death.
Especially when Fujiwara Tomosuke found out that all the Shen family had fled overseas and all the remaining property had been confiscated, Shen Wanan, whose value was so small, lived a more miserable life.
If it weren't for considering that he could be used to blackmail other maritime merchants, I'm afraid that Fujiwara Tomosuke would have asked his subordinates to swallow Shen Wan'an alive.
Those Japanese who died many relatives and friends all thought that Shen Wan'an was the culprit in this tragedy. If it were not for the stop of Fujiwara Tomosuke who had already conquered everyone, they would have really been able to swallow Shen Wan'an alive. Well, that's what it means literally.
In the mountains, they have developed a good skin peeling technique in order to exchange animal fur for essential foods such as salt.
Although humans claim to be the best of all things, in the eyes of these Japanese, the skin is not much harder to peel than other animals.
After simply rebuilding the third team base, Fujiwara Tomosuke, who had been in the mountains for several months, had basically taken over the power of the third team in his hands, had begun to consider completely removing the word "temporary replacement" on his head.
If you want to do this, you will obviously have to be recognized by the General Office.
And he should also go to Yingtian to attend the main hall meeting at the right time.
...
When Fujiwara Tomosuke led his men to Yingtian, he had already arrived at Yingtian's first team captain Masao Mato, who had arrived at Yingtian early. At this time, he was still visiting Yingtian City like a landlord Laocai who had entered the city for the first time.
After nearly two months of wandering, Masao Masao of Masao was already extremely familiar with Tiancheng at this time, and may even be more familiar than many residents living in Yingtiancheng. After all, in this huge Yingtiancheng, most of the circles where most people live are located in a nearby area of no more than ten miles.
Even if I have been to this area, even if I have the honor of visiting it once, it must be for the sake of doing things. I was anxious and probably couldn't even go there quickly. I came and left in a hurry. The corresponding understanding of Tiancheng was naturally far from that of Masao Mato who took two months to wander around the city and observe every day.
The reason why Masao Masao did this is naturally to be able to be as familiar with everything in Yingtian City as possible.
He had long guessed that this meeting of the main hall was destined to be uneasy and might even turn into a war.
As a high-ranking samurai who once accompanied the head of the family to participate in the war, although Masao Masao of Masao did not have the conditions to read the military book seriously and learn the military strategy, he had been with the head of the family for many years and had heard a lot of related golden rules from the head of the family, his staff and military advisors.
Among them, what impressed him the most was a sentence from "The Art of War" written by Sun Tzu, a soldier saint.
"A general, he will be defeated before he wants to win, so he can be defeated in a hundred battles."
As a family that was destroyed but still alive, he spent so much peace and even became the captain of the first team of Gaotianyuan. His understanding of this sentence was not as profound as that of those real military tactics.
All he knew was that before the war began, we must consider the situation after failure and be prepared to quickly escape when we failed.
And how can we ensure a high enough success rate of escape?
It is undoubtedly the first step to figure out the terrain first.
Especially when you come to a huge and complex strange place like Yingtian City, this is even more so. Because maybe, when the crisis comes, he can rely on his familiarity with the terrain to find a way to escape that others cannot find, or to escape before the enemy notices it.
Cooperating with the many subordinates who were not far from Yingtian City and secretly rushed to the main hall meeting, even if he could not successfully achieve his goal, he could guarantee that he would not fall into this Yingtian City, escape back to his lair and continue to be his head of the Matou family.
Therefore, even though he knew that his subordinates were deeply puzzled by his actions, Masao Mato was still exploring the entire Yingtian City at his own pace.
Today, as long as he explores the inconspicuous street in front of him, he will completely complete the task of exploring Yingtian City.
In Masao Mato's opinion, although the exploration of this last remote street means that he has completed the exploration of the entire Yingtian City, which is of great significance, the process must be ordinary. After all, what can be worthy of his attention on this remote and quiet street?
But reality is so surprising.
Just as Masao Mato was calm and prepared to complete the last bit of exploration, and then went back to plan several routes to escape from Yingtian City based on the maps he had explored in the past two months, a face that seemed familiar was reflected in his eyes.
...
Since I arrived in Yingtian City and spent all my money to buy this coffin shop on a remote street, Hirota Mato has been living a life of neither good nor bad.
I can't be hungry and I can't eat enough.
However, this kind of life that seems to others must be extremely boring is exactly what he hopes to live for Hirota Mato.
At least for now, that's it.
At the beginning, he would be nervous, so he would only sit in the corner of the shop that could not be seen by the outside world every day, and would occasionally secretly check the situation outside.
But two months passed in a flash, and his life that had been safe and sound made him gradually relax his vigilance, and he even began to communicate with his neighbors around him recently.
He thought he might have spent the rest of his life peacefully.
