Musashi Hideki found a place with good terrain to set up camp. Although he hated Xiaoquan's incompetence, he also knew that Xiaoquan was not really useless. Among the Japanese generals, he was ranked in the top ten. Twenty thousand people were defeated in a battle. He must have met a real opponent.
…
Two more days passed, and the Wei army's pursuers still hadn't arrived, but Musashi finally saw the puppy.
At this moment, the little dog really looked like a stray dog. He was covered in dust and looked in a miserable state.
"Marshal, Marshal, I finally see you."
The puppy knelt down on the ground the moment he saw Musashi Hideki. He used his knees as feet and walked to Musashi on his knees, crying and saying, "Marshal, Marshal, don't feel sorry for me, I'm fine."
Musashi raised his leg and kicked him: "Who the hell cares about you, you loser, you destroyed an entire Class A division, do you know how much money and resources it costs for our great Japan to train 20,000 soldiers?"
Musashi became more and more angry as he spoke, and even drew the sword from his waist.
The puppy panicked and quickly grabbed Musashi Hideki's hand: "Marshal, Marshal, don't be angry, or it will hurt your body."
"I still have a hundred acres of fertile land in Japan, and six wives. They are all beautiful. You have seen them. They admire you and have admired you for a long time."
"When we return to Japan, I will definitely send them to your house so that they can admire you."
Musashi Hideki was stunned for a moment: "After he remembered the appearance of Xiaoquan's wives, he really gave up his murderous intention."
But he still said with a look of disappointment: "Little dog, after this great defeat, even if you are spared the death penalty, you will still be punished alive."
"Someone come here, drag him away and beat him with a hundred military sticks."
The puppy quickly said: "Marshal, please don't be angry. Why are you angry again?"
"My sister, I have two younger sisters. You have met them both. They have admired you for a long time. After returning to Japan, I will definitely send them to your house to admire you properly."
…
The faces of Xiaoquan's two younger sisters suddenly appeared in Musashi's mind.
"Brother-in-law, don't be angry."
In a panic, the puppy actually called out "brother-in-law".
After hearing this, Musashi said angrily: "Baga, who is your brother-in-law? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut you into pieces."
The puppy quickly changed his words: "Brother-in-law, godfather..."
Musashi could no longer tolerate this. Although Xiaoquan had promised to give him a hundred acres of fertile land, six beautiful concubines, and two younger sisters, an entire Class A division was destroyed in his hands after all. It would be unreasonable if he didn't give them a few blows.
In the end, in order to enforce military justice, Musashi personally whipped the puppy twenty times.
…
The puppy's barking was very miserable, just like those wild dogs bullied by passers-by.
After twenty lashes, Musashi ordered his men to drag him back to his central military tent.
"Little Dog, it has been a long time since the day of your defeat. What have you been doing these days?"
The puppy said with tears and snot: "Marshal, although our army suffered a small defeat in the first battle, it is still necessary to gather the remaining troops."
"I gathered the remaining soldiers along the way and dealt with the Wei army. At least I brought back 3,000 soldiers."
Musashi sneered: "Including the remnants you brought back, plus those who have escaped in the past few days, there are only about 5,000 people in total. Of the remaining 15,000 people, nine out of ten have already become dead under the sword."
"You are really too incompetent."
Xiao Quan quickly explained: "General, it's not that I'm incompetent, it's just that the Wei army is too powerful. A young general in the Wei army actually dared to directly confront my fire escape technique. I'm afraid there is no other such person in the whole of Japan."
…
In the next half hour, Xiao Quan recounted the entire story of his battle in detail without adding too much exaggeration. The general facts were almost exactly as he said.
After hearing these words, Musashi fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked, "If what you said is true, then the Wei army's combat effectiveness must be very strong."
Xiao Quan quickly said: "Marshal, I am telling the truth. The combat effectiveness of the 30,000 vanguard troops of the Wei army is probably not weaker than our Class A division."
A look of pain appeared on Musashi's face: "Damn, this is actually quite bad."
"Our fleet has only transported 120,000 troops to Fujian in such a long time."
"You lost 20,000 in one battle, and there are still 100,000 left. Although some teams will arrive later, the total number will never exceed 200,000."
"Even if I were the emperor, I would never send all the troops in the country to Middle-earth. That would be too dangerous."
The little dog said: "General, it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang has no less than 500,000 soldiers under his command. This is the result of his previous battle with the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty. 500,000 people. Although I was defeated in this battle, I also got a clear idea of the combat strength of the Wei army."
"With just the tens of thousands of us, I'm afraid we can't defeat Zhu Yuanzhang."
Musashi took a deep breath and said, "How could I not know the nonsense you are talking about?"
"We in Japan have released so many spies in the Middle-earth, and I know every move of the Middle-earth heroes clearly. However, according to the budget of our emperor, the current strength of Zhang Wuji in the north may be similar to that of us in Japan, and it is very likely that he should be weaker than us."
