After reprimanding these people, Qi Jiguang immediately asked people to collect the armor and weapons left by Zhao Yuan, and on the other hand, he immediately rode towards Zhao Yuan and others.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan and his party had not gone far, so they were easily caught up. Seeing him chasing after him, Zhao Yuan also stopped and saluted: "General Qi!"

Qi Jiguang nodded and said: "Having said everything, I understand your situation very well, but I still hope you stay!"

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and said: "It is an honor for us to do our best for the imperial court, but there are times when we are helpless!"

Qi Jiguang said: "Don't worry, I have already thought about this matter clearly when I came here. I wonder if Yang Shaoxia is willing to join me temporarily?"

Zhao Yuan asked doubtfully: "The general's subordinates?"

Qi Jiguang nodded and said: "Yes, in this case you will not be summoned by the leader of the martial arts alliance, but will serve under my general, so naturally you will not be afraid of those rumors. In addition, my general and Mr. Hu will immediately report to the court

Please give me a detailed report of this matter to the imperial court."

After a pause, Qi Jiguang continued: "Young Master Yang has come all the way here, are you planning to go back just like this? Don't you think it's a pity?"

Zhao Yuan was silent for a moment. Just as Qi Jiguang said, he was really unwilling to go back like this. Moreover, he had put on airs. Now that someone was stepping down for him, he had to stand out.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan held up his hands and said: "What General Qi said is true. Going back so easily is not only a failure of high expectations, but why should they be ashamed of their hard work these days? It's General Qi's fault."

Qi Jiguang was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Please come with me!"

Zhao Yuan and the others immediately changed direction and followed Qi Jiguang straight to the location of his army's main camp. They were then carefully placed and their armor was also delivered not long after.

"The perfect jade returns to Zhao!"

Qi Jiguang said with a smile after sending the armor over.

Zhao Yuan cupped his hands and thanked him: "General Xie, by the way, I wonder how other martial arts colleagues will deal with it?"

Qi Jiguang said: "What else can be done? These martial arts people are not the elite of each sect to begin with. After such a mess, Mr. Hu has clearly seen the faces of these so-called noble sects, so he is not willing to let them stay.

So we have ordered them to return!"

Zhao Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, even if these martial arts people are not the elite of every sect, if they can be united, they are still a rare force."

On the other hand, those martial arts people began to leave with somewhat gloomy expressions. To them, this was just a joke. Maybe they were not resenting Zhao Yuan for leaving with more people, but some of them also listened to Qi Jiguang's words at that time.

To be honest, everyone knows who made up those rumors.

Qi Jiguang was still a little skeptical and asked: "Gather these martial arts people together? But most of them are rebellious people, how can they be restrained by the imperial court?"

This is exactly what he cares about. These martial arts people are indeed much better than soldiers in their personal skills. However, it is also a problem that these martial arts people do not obey discipline. The reason why soldiers are strong is because of discipline.

Zhao Yuandao: "They originally came here to exterminate the Japanese pirates, but now they ask to return. Everyone is still feeling uncomfortable. If we give them a step down, maybe it will have a good effect."

Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll let someone try it. There is another thing that Yang Shaoxia needs to take someone to do?"

Zhao Yuandao: "General, please speak!"

Qi Jiguang said: "Then follow me to the tent first."

After Qi Jiguang returned to the camp, he spread out a map and said: "According to our people's inquiries, there is a secret stronghold belonging to the Japanese pirates Xu Haifang on this island. There is a lot of supplies hidden in it. Mr. Hu has already

I want to take down this stronghold, but the most important thing is that I really can’t find a suitable candidate, and I’m afraid of disturbing the situation, so I can’t act rashly. Now that Yang Shaoxia is here, Master Hu thinks we can take down this stronghold.”

Zhao Yuan looked at the map in front of him carefully and asked: "How many people are there in this stronghold?"

Qi Jiguang said: "According to our investigation, there may be less than a hundred people! However, there are five to six hundred people on another island more than twenty miles away from them. Once there is an attack here and they notice it, they must get away quickly.

."

As he spoke, he pointed at places not far apart on the map, and then said: "The terrain of this island is very dangerous. In addition to this island, there are three other islands in the middle, and the distance is only a few dozen miles.

Wait, this is why they feel safe to store a large amount of supplies here, and now the imperial court does not have large ships, and the remaining ships are not enough in number, and it is difficult to go to sea. This is also the reason why the Japanese pirates are so emboldened.

"

The navy was the imperial court's weakness. Almost all the sea surface had been given over to the Japanese pirates. The imperial navy had no way to leave the port. Due to the sea ban, the construction technology of large ships had been completely lost, and small boats had been completely lost.

There was no way to fight against the wind and waves, and the guerrilla tactics used by the Japanese pirates made it impossible to determine their location, which made the imperial army extremely passive.

Qi Jiguang knew the crux of the imperial army's problem, but for now he had no solution. Until Zhao Yuan and others appeared, the plan remained on paper.

Zhao Yuan looked at the map in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said: "My people are not suitable for this kind of battle."

Qi Jiguang was surprised and said: "Not suitable?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "These disciples of the Liu family are more suitable for frontal combat, but this kind of sneak attack combat is not suitable for them."

Qi Jiguang was immediately disappointed, but still asked unwillingly: "Then does Yang Shaoxia have any suitable candidates in mind?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, they are those martial arts people. Although the disciples sent are not the elites of the sect, most of the leaders are, such as Tang Qingyun, Bai Chenxi, Zuo Yuming, etc. of the Tang Sect.

These people are equal to ten in dealing with Japanese pirates. Master Qi only needs to gather more than 20 people, and one ship is enough to go to sea. This way, they can avoid being discovered. On the other hand, they also have a chance of winning, and the battle can be completed quickly.

You can return quickly after the mission! It truly plays the role of a surprise soldier!"

Qi Jiguang hesitated for a moment and said: "But they are difficult to discipline, how can they obey the arrangements?"

This is what Qi Jiguang is most worried about. There are military regulations for the army, but they have no binding force on these martial arts people.

Zhao Yuandao: "This is not difficult. It only requires Mr. Hu or the general to promise to ask the court for credit after the task is completed. That's enough!"

Zhao Yuan still had doubts about whether they really came here to share the worries of the imperial court. If they were not simply sharing the worries, then any monetary rewards would be waived. Then all they needed to do was confirm their merits.

To the imperial court, this is just a piece of paper. A single piece of paper can make so many people work for the imperial court. This business is not an ordinary good deal!

Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with Mr. Hu!"

After Qi Jiguang left, he went straight to Hu Zongxian. At this moment, Hu Zongxian was still a little angry because of Zhao Yuan's sudden departure. Qi Jiguang's arrival obviously brought him good news. He immediately approved Zhao Yuan's suggestion. Qi Jiguang was not afraid.

After hard work, he went straight to the camp where the martial arts people were staying. Fortunately, the martial arts people were not quick to leave, and some were even waiting and watching. Qi Jiguang went directly to the leader Yi and explained his origins.

Sect Leader Yi was originally a little disheartened, but the arrival of Qi Jiguang gave him hope again. Without saying a word, he immediately went to convey the news and asked the various sects to stay away for the time being.

In order not to leak the news, Qi Jiguang did not say what he was going to do. He just said that he would select a total of more than 20 martial arts figures with strong martial arts skills, and Tang Qingyun, Bai Chenxi and Zuo Yuming were among them.

Leader Yi had some knowledge of the various sects and factions who came, and quickly drew up a list of eighteen people in total. Immediately, these eighteen people received orders to report to Qi Jiguang's camp.

These selected martial arts people didn't know what was going on, but they went as required. After arriving, they found that Zhao Yuan was also there. Tang Qingyun was even more delighted and stepped forward and said: "Brother Yang, are you here too?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Tang Qingyun was a little confused and said: "But you didn't leave, why are you here?"
