Looking at the gloomy sky, Huang Tianwei said calmly:
"Murata-kun, it's going to rain these next few days."
Murata said expressionlessly, "I've already made up my mind."
Huang Tianwei stood up, walked to the door, looked up at the sky, and continued:
"Yes, I know."
"Since you've already made up your mind, then let's fight."
"but......"
He turned his head, his face unusually solemn, and continued:
"Please grant me one last request, Murata-kun."
Murata said with a stern face, "Go ahead and tell me."
Huang Tianwei said in a deep voice:
"If we're going to fight, it'll only be a matter of a few days."
"Then let's wait until the rain starts and fight this battle."
Murata was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was going on.
From what we know of Qin Ze's army, they possess extremely powerful long-range weapons, namely firearms.
In rainy weather, firearms are less effective, so the battle to come will be a real, armed clash!
In such a battle, our troops are in no way inferior to any opponent!
Although we had the advice and strategies of Lord Tianwei during this landing in the East China Sea, we fought hard in every battle. None of our warriors were weak!
With this in mind, Murata's confidence increased greatly.
He exclaimed in a resounding voice, "Good!"
"That's right, we will definitely not lose if we face them head-on in the rain!"
"This time, I will cut them down with my sword and utterly crush them under the weight of my army!" Murata exclaimed with pride, his face flushed with excitement.
Huang Tianwei glanced at him, then looked up at the sky again and said calmly:
"With such favorable weather, the next step is to choose a good location."
Murata followed up, "Ambush them!"
"I want to see if they can still march at this time. If Qin Ze is so arrogant that he dares to march in the rain, he is just asking for death!"
"We will never lose this battle!"
Huang Tianwei neither agreed nor disagreed with this statement, but he sighed inwardly.
Even with favorable timing and location, one thing is still missing.
However, given the current situation, Murata is losing his composure, so there's nothing else he can do.
The best course of action would be to continue the retreat and wait for Ito Sumiyoshi's troops to arrive so that a coalition could be formed. This would greatly increase the chances of defeating Qin Ze.
Just as he was pondering this, he heard Murata laugh:
“Lord Tianwei, you came to our Fusang in autumn and winter.”
"You haven't seen our national flower yet, have you?"
Huang Tianwei was taken aback, then shook his head. He didn't know why Murata would bring up such trivial matters at this time.
Murata turned and sat back down in the chair. He placed his sword on the ground, his hand resting on the hilt. His gaze softened, and he said softly:
"I've been working hard here for a while now, and judging by the days, the cherry blossoms in my hometown will be in bloom soon."
"The earliest batches probably bloom around this time. This is the kind of cherry blossom that is planted in my hometown."
"When the cherry blossoms bloom, they cluster together, and it's really... beautiful." He seemed lost in memories, his eyes gradually losing focus.
Huang Tianwei remained silent, simply standing at the doorway gazing at the gloomy sky.
Murata's voice continued:
"Cherry blossoms are beautiful, but their blooming period is very short, and they wither soon after they bloom."
"Even though their bloom is brief, when they are in full bloom, no other flower can compare to them."
"Tenwei-kun, do you know when cherry blossoms are at their most beautiful?"
Huang Tianwei didn't turn his head, and replied expressionlessly:
"Know."
As he said this, Murata's unfocused eyes gradually focused on Huang Tianwei's back, and he seemed somewhat surprised.
How did you know?
"It's not like I haven't seen cherry blossoms before. There are cherry blossoms in Dagan too." Huang Tianwei said calmly without turning around.
"This? But you just said you'd never seen it before?"
"You're talking about your Japanese cherry blossoms. I've never seen them, but I have seen cherry blossoms with large trunks." Huang Taiwei looked at the sky.
As soon as he finished speaking, Murata chuckled to himself.
"I was originally going to say that after the war was over, I wanted to invite you to go back with me to see the cherry blossoms, but I didn't expect you..."
Before Murata could finish speaking, Huang Tianwei interrupted:
"With such a short flowering period, is there enough time to finish the war and go back to admire the cherry blossoms?"
Murata laughed heartily.
"Alright, Tianwei-kun, you're right. This time, it's probably really too late."
"But it doesn't matter, the war will definitely end by this time next year."
"At that time, when the cherry blossoms are at their most beautiful, I will take you to see them. We will take off our military uniforms and put on civilian clothes. I will show you what cherry blossom viewing is like in Japan."
Upon hearing this, Huang Tianwei pursed his lips slightly.
He laughed.
When Murata saw him smile, he smiled even more happily.
"Tianwei-jun, you always have a stern face. I rarely see you smile. So, are you going?"
Huang Tianwei laughed even harder.
"Hahahaha." Murata laughed along.
"By the way, you said Da Gan also has cherry blossoms! But they're definitely not as good as the cherry blossoms in Japan."
"How about this, from now on, we'll transplant our Fusang cherry blossoms to Daqian!"
Murata stood up, his face flushed even more from laughing so hard, and continued with great bravado:
"Let the cherry blossoms of Japan bloom in this land!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murata stood up and strode out of the house.
His loud shout came from outside the door:
"Men! Gather the troops!!"
