Musashi really wanted to chop these two idiots to pieces, but unfortunately, Xiaoquan and Kameda didn't give him a chance at all.

The two of them first forced Musashi to sit under a big tree.

Then, one person massaged his shoulders and another massaged his legs.

These things were done by geishas in the past, but now that Xiaoquan and Kameda were doing these things, he felt a little disgusted.

"You two idiots, the defeat yesterday was all because you failed to protect both sides of our camp. What explanation do you have for this?"

Kameda quickly said: "General, it's not that we are incompetent, but the Wei army is too powerful."

"General Xiaoquan and I fought desperately, but we were no match for the crazy Wei army."

Xiaoquan also said: "That's true. Yesterday, Kameda and I fought a desperate battle with the Wei army, but the Wei army had already occupied the mountains on both sides."

"They are in a dominant position and have an advantage several times greater than our army. They only need to make a strong charge to easily break through our defense line. Even if Kameda and I fight hard, we can only stop a few Wei generals at most, but we can't stop the Wei army that is all over the mountains and plains."

"Last night, at the final moment of the battle, we were both surrounded by thousands of Wei troops. If we were not grateful for the Emperor's foresight and your kindness, Marshal, we would not have been able to break out of the encirclement of the Wei army."

…

Musashi was a smart man. He certainly knew that what Xiaoquan and Musashi said was nonsense. It was obvious that they saw that the building was about to collapse, so they had the idea of ​​escaping. If such a cowardly person was kept, he would probably miss out on important things in the future.

Therefore, Musashi had already grasped his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

This scene scared Xiaoquan and Kameda so much that cold sweat broke out on their bodies in an instant.

But now, Musashi doesn't even have a guard around him. In this vast world, how many people can truly see through life and death?

The two of them had already made a decision. If Musashi really wanted to use them as scapegoats, they would naturally not sit idly by and wait for death.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats.

The moment Musashi drew his sword, Kou and Kameda started fighting.

When it comes to the issue of life and death, not to mention Musashi, even the emperor could be killed.

…

"Brother-in-law, victory and defeat are common in the military. After all, we are too far deep in the Central Plains. It is not surprising even if we suffer one or two defeats. The hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Fujian have not moved yet. As long as you can return to Fujian, you can turn defeat into victory."

Kameda also said: "Yes, Marshal Musashi, the women in General Koinu's family admire your reputation too much. General Koinu just said that as soon as he returns to Japan, he will immediately send all the women in his family to your house."

"As for now, you must not be confused by the recent defeat. You don't even have a guard by your side. General Xiaoquan and I will swear to escort you back to Fujian."

"Please give us another chance to make amends for our crimes."

After hearing this, Musashi's heart wavered again.

Musashi is also a smart man. He knows that when someone asks you to give him a chance, he is actually giving you a chance.

At this moment, Xiaoquan and Kameda were holding his shoulders and legs respectively. In this situation, if Musashi dared to let the sword at his waist unsheath an inch, it would be hard to say who would die first.

However, just when the three of them were each harboring their own ulterior motives, a group of cavalry appeared in their sight in the distance.

This scene shocked Xiaoquan and the other two.

Musashi said: "How fast! They must be the scouts of the Wei army's pursuers. You two go and kill this group of people first, and I will retreat first. As long as you two kill this group of people, I will let bygones be bygones."

After hearing this, Xiaoquan and Kameda were both happy and worried.

The good news is that Musashi agreed to let bygones be bygones. After all, he is a general, so his words are naturally credible.

What worried them was that the Wei army's pursuing scouts numbered more than a dozen people, and the two of them might not be able to stop them even if they wanted to.

Seeing that the two of them were hesitant, Musashi said angrily: "Baga, when you two were in Japan, you were considered the best in the army. Last night, you escaped from the siege of thousands of Wei troops. Now, facing a scout of the Wei army, you are scared out of your wits?"

When the puppy heard this, he changed his mind and realized that he was about to be caught by the Wei army scouts. At this moment, he really had no choice.

If we continue to argue with Musashi here, I'm afraid all three of us will die here.

After Xiaoquan understood this relationship, he said righteously: "General, please leave quickly. Kameda and I will stay here to cover your retreat. As long as you can return safely to our Japanese army, we will naturally die for you.

…

Musashi took the lead.

As he ran, he cursed in his heart: "Let's fight, it would be best if you all died. If you all die, I will have less worries."

…

At this moment, Xu Da's army had been chasing for several hours. One of his young generals said, "General, the men can still hold on, but it's time for Marco to take a break."

"If we don't take a break, even if we catch up with the Japanese army, our cavalry's advantage won't be able to take advantage. Wouldn't that be a pity then?"

Another general also said: "Yes, Marshal, the dozen or so fast horses under my command should be a few miles ahead. Once they find any trace of the Japanese army, they will come back to report immediately."

Xu Da glanced around on horseback and saw that his soldiers were indeed exhausted, and the horses under his crotch could no longer run. In this state, even if they really caught up with the Japanese army, let alone whether they could bite them, they might be eaten if they were not careful.

Moreover, they were now a long way from Lan Yu's follow-up troops, so it was time to stop and rest.

After thinking about this, Xu Da pulled the reins in his hand and said, "Pass the order down, let the soldiers rest here for half an hour, and then continue the pursuit after half an hour."

…

Almost. At this moment, Xu Da was still some distance away from the main force of the Japanese army that retreated first, but they were already very close to Musashi.

If he could have gritted his teeth a little longer, caught up with Musashi and killed him, the Japanese army invading China would have been without a commander, and Xu Da would have been able to win more easily in the decisive battle in the future.
