Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 701

Hearing Wei Wu's murderous words, Shimazu Motohisa's screams of fear stopped abruptly.

Even though he was still feeling severe pain in his thigh, he didn't dare to make a sound as he looked into Wei Wu's eyes.

What puzzled him the most was why his lie was discovered just as he told it, before he even finished it.

Could it be that the person in front of me has some supernatural power like Buddhist telepathy, and can see through what other people are thinking?

On the other hand, Wei Wu didn't know what Shimazu Ujihisa was thinking about.

But looking at his current appearance, you can tell that this guy is afraid, and when people are afraid, they will become honest.

As for why Wei Wu immediately realized that Shimazu Motohisa was lying, the reason was actually very simple: the timing didn't match.

According to his understanding, the way the Japanese pirates fought was different from that of the Ming Dynasty, no, it should be said that it was different from that of the Central Plains dynasty.

In the Central Plains dynasty, if it was possible to quickly end a war and win, the military commander would definitely do so.

But it is different for the Japanese pirates. They will test the waters before starting a war, and some even have to test the waters several times.

After all, unlike the Central Plains dynasties which had vast territory and abundant resources, the Japanese pirates' situation might be related to their land area and nature.

Not only are they not generous enough in terms of food, clothing and housing, but even the war feels a bit petty.

From Shimazu Ujihisa's perspective, according to the normal process of warfare, the Three Kingdoms Alliance should have fought with Imagawa Ryotoshi for a long time.

Not to mention half a year or a year, but at least three months is necessary, because Wei Wu started the war without regard for casualties.

The battle didn't even last two days; the outcome was decided in just a day and a half.

So the question is, if it is true as Shimazu Motohisa said, the Shimazu family wants to unify the entire Kyukoku Island.

From a geographical point of view, they should first send troops to deal with Satsuma and Hyuga.

After all, the troops of these two countries have been brought to Saga Castle, and this is the best time to deal with them.

But if they took action against these two countries, the Shimazu family would not have time to bring 3,000 soldiers to Kumamoto Castle for garrison.

No matter how fast you kill someone, it takes time. The Shimazu family is different from Wei Wu. They need the existence of the national capital city.

They couldn't burn it all down like Wei Wu did, otherwise the money needed for post-war reconstruction would drag down the finances of Osumi Province.

Therefore, after Shimazu Motohisa finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately guessed that this guy was talking.

Facts proved that Wei Wu's guess was correct. From the expression on his face, it could be seen that he had not told the truth just now.

But after the dagger pierced his thigh, Wei Wu now believed that he would not lie again.

"I'll ask again, and for the last time, where are those 3,000 soldiers stationed?"

There was no anger in Wei Wu's tone, not even the cold feeling from before.

The voice was very calm, without any emotion, but it was precisely this that made Shimazu Motohisa even more frightened.

He knew in his heart that if he dared to lie again, he would really have no chance, so he immediately said:

"I, I don't know where they are stationed. I haven't communicated with my father in a while, but!!!"

Shimazu Motohisa had just mentioned the letter when he saw that Wei Wu had a short sword in his hand.

So he quickly said loudly, "But," and then, before Wei Wu's knife fell, he continued:

"According to the original plan, father would first destroy Satsuma and then attack Hyuga. Judging by the time, both countries should have been conquered."

"Kumamoto Castle has been burned down, and there's no need to waste energy on Higo. After conquering these three kingdoms, father will continue to attack Bungo."

"I'm not sure where Father is stationed, but I can write to him under the pretext of exchanging information!!"
