Although Toyotomi Daikichi asked, the samurai outside the door did not answer immediately. He first knelt down on one knee and put both knees on the ground. After taking a deep breath, he sweated like rain and said: "I would like to report to you, the general. I have received a message from the director of Kyoto. The Han army has landed in Wakasa country. There are at least 50,000 households in the army." .Currently, we have occupied Wakasa Country and sent troops to attack Kyoto."
"What did you say?" Toyotomi Daikichi's body stiffened for an instant, then his eyes flashed with severity, and he clenched his hands tightly.
"Ah!!!" The maid in his arms screamed. Toyotomi Daikichi threw the maid away, and slapped her in the face before she could forgive her hatred. The maid's face was swollen.
"Go away." Toyotomi Daikichi yelled.
"Yes." Although the maid was naked, she was more afraid of Toyotomi Taiji's cruelty. She responded with a cry, wrapped herself in a sheet and left.
The warriors at the door turned a blind eye to the maid.
"The story in the historical records. He built the plank road openly and crossed Chencang secretly. He was calculated." Toyotomi Daikichi was the hero after all. He quickly calmed down, sat cross-legged on the bed, and sighed.
What a victory.
What joy. It’s long gone.
The naval battle in Kyushu was won ten times, so what if it was won a hundred times? The Han army had invaded Wakasa State, and its troops were heading straight for Kyoto.
Toyotomi Daikichi exhaled, a look of determination on his face. He made a fist with his right hand, punched the bed hard, and said loudly: "To protect the name of the Wu family, we must defend Kyoto."
"Summon all the great names immediately."
Immediately, Toyotomi Daikichi stood up and gave an order loudly.
"Yes." The warrior in front of the door responded and immediately turned around and went down. After a while, a samurai with clean clothes came in and helped Toyotomi Daikichi put on his clothes.
Toyotomi Daikichi led a group of samurai back to the room where they had had a banquet.
Not long after, the great names arrived one after another. After bowing to Toyotomi, they took their seats. The daimyo all knew the news, and their faces were very solemn.
The daimyo whose territory is on the Kyoto Plain is even more anxious.
Toyotomi Daikichi glanced at the daimyo and sighed. The place is still the same place and the people are still the same people drinking together.
But the atmosphere is very different.
"Kumamoto Neiji. You stay in Kyushu, command a navy of 60,000, and fight against Li Tianbao."
"The rest of the navy, led by Saito Ikemo, will go to Wakasa Country to cut off the Han army's retreat."
"I personally led the infantry to Kyoto."
Toyotomi Daikichi gave the order without any ink stain. Then he stood up and said to the great names with a serious face: "My lords, the Han army on the shore is like a fierce tiger."
"Now we have fallen into the Han army's trick and been tricked by Wu Nian."
"We can no longer be careless."
"If Fusang is attacked and destroyed by the Han army, according to the Han army's attitude towards Goguryeo, our Wu family will be in doom."
"My lords, we are betting on the future of Wumen. We must defeat the Han army in the Kyoto Plain."
At the end of the speech, Toyotomi Daikichi suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, veins showing on his forehead, and his voice was fierce.
"Yes." All the great names responded in unison, then bent down and kowtowed, then turned and walked away together.
The matter is urgent.
There was no time to fully prepare. We can only make some preparations now and set off tomorrow.
The sequelae of Toyotomi Daikichi's drunkenness showed up. He felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. He quickly sat back slowly and smiled bitterly.
"You are getting old after all."
Then, he said to himself: "I hope it's not too late."
If Kyoto is captured, the Emperor is captured.
That's unimaginable.
All Fuso's elite warriors, commanded by Toyotomi Daikichi. They don't just stay in Kumamoto Castle, but are scattered all over Kyushu.
Toyotomi Daikichi has already sent people to notify the troops in other places.
The elite Toyotomi troops in Kumamoto Castle set out on the road to Kyoto early the next morning after a night of preparation.
But it won't be easy.
There is plenty of rain between spring and summer. There are many mountains in Fusang and the roads are muddy. Toyotomi Daikichi led an army of more than 100,000 people, starting from Kumamoto Castle. After a difficult march, they crossed the sea and reached Honshu Island.
Then there was another difficult march before reaching Osaka Castle.
Osaka Castle.
It has a pivotal position in the entire Fuso and is currently the direct territory of the Toyotomi family. There are strong, large, and beautiful castles, as well as prosperous castle towns.
Kyoto was captured and the emperor became a prisoner of the Han army.
The news that King Wu Nian of Han personally landed in Fusang and other news has spread. But the castle town of Osaka Castle is still bustling with traffic and bustling.
Civilians should do whatever they are supposed to do.
As the news spread, the news that the Han army had committed no crime against civilian Qiu also spread throughout Osaka Castle. If that's the case, why panic?
Almost all of the samurai patrolling the castle town had serious expressions on their faces.
Ronins eager to fight and turn around also gathered in the castle town from all directions.
Osaka Castle, inside the castle tower.
Toyotomi Daikichi sat cross-legged on the main seat with a serious look on his face. In front of him, on both sides, were kneeling daimyo.
The atmosphere inside the castle tower was very solemn.
The emperor's capture was a huge blow to the samurai group.
Wu Nian is personally in charge of Kyoto, which is a huge threat to the samurai.
"Unexpectedly. Wu Niangui was the king of Han, but he dared to cross the sea and come to Fusang. He also killed Hidenobu Honda."
Toyotomi Daikichi sighed, shook his head and said.
"What should we do now?" Immediately, Toyotomi Daikichi took a deep breath and asked. His eyes fell on the important minister Katakura Kageju.
Katakura Kageju already had a countermeasure in mind, and he bent down and saluted: "Sir General. Wu Nian is known as the Tiger of Liaodong, and he also killed Hidenobu Honda."
"He was able to destroy Goguryeo and fight with the Mongols for many years. He is truly powerful."
"According to the Han people, he is comparable to Xiang Yu. Such a powerful enemy. Although we are fighting in Fusang, we cannot go head-to-head with him."
"And he is now dividing his troops to guard the surrounding areas of the Kyoto Plain to stabilize his territory."
“Although we are victorious, we are walking steadily.”
After increasing Wu Nian's prestige, Katakura Keju said very pragmatically: "It is based on the strategy of not confronting Wu Nian head-on."
"We will first disperse the armies of the daimyo, and let the daimyo whose territories are around the Kyoto Plain return to their own territories. They will manage and defend them. We have many castles, and most of them are built on traffic arteries, and they all have military value. In this way, It can block Wu Nian’s path to outward expansion.”
"The navy cut off Wu Nian's connection with the mainland of Han. It also banned the import of rice, iron ore, etc. into the Kyoto Plain. Wu Nian was trapped to death."
"Second, His Majesty the Emperor was unfortunately captured. The General should firmly affirm that His Majesty the Emperor was killed by Wu Nian. Then establish a new emperor to take the political initiative."
"Third. Please send the Iga ninjas, General, to destroy these castle towns and towns on the Kyoto plains."
"Let Wu Nian have no peace."
