Most of the daimyo couldn't help but nodded.
They are all famous names from the Warring States Period, and their qualities are generally very strong. They immediately felt how sophisticated Katakura Kageju was.
The Kyoto plain is flat, but beyond it are mountains and mountains. Wu Nian divided his troops to defend the dangerous position and wanted to defend his basic position.
It's hard to break in. Even if they attack, they may not be able to win in a confrontation with the Han army.
It would be better to blockade the area outside the Kyoto Plain.
Then send ninjas to destroy it internally.
With time and effort, the Han army was slowly disintegrated.
Toyotomi Daikichi's eyebrows showed joy and he was about to agree.
Just then. One of the Daimyos, Toyotomi's Four Heavenly Kings, and the second best general in the world, he is like the sun, a man who cannot be ignored.
Ii Naobi suddenly said: "Although Master Jingju's strategy is sound, it does damage the spirit of a warrior. King Wu Nian of Han. I really want to fight him."
As he spoke, Ii Naobi stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, showing a bloodthirsty expression.
He is thirty-two years old, has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very strong.
at the same time. The elite troops of the Toyotomi family, commanded by the Ii family for generations, are Fuso's famous strong army, the Red Armor Cavalry.
The military power is in his hands.
"That's what Lord Naobi said."
Matsudaira Kagetora, one of the Toyotomi Four Heavenly Kings, the best general in the world, commanding another elite force of the Toyotomi family, agreed lightly.
He is thirty-six years old. Although he is the best in the world, he looks ordinary. He has a handsome face and white skin, like a woman.
In terms of momentum, he can't compete with the sun-like Naoki Ii.
The strong will only wield their swords against the stronger.
These two people followed Toyotomi Daiki and wiped out the world of Fuso. Brave and good at fighting, he is known as the Four Heavenly Kings of Toyotomi. Possessing extraordinary self-confidence, powerful force, and invincible elite troops.
He is qualified to compete with the Han army.
The great names looked at the two and had to admit this.
Katakura Keju smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Toyotomi Daikichi looked at the two of them happily. Although he agreed with Katakura Kageju's strategy, he was also full of appreciation for his general.
As a hero.
Under what circumstances, choosing what method to use to deal with it is all knowledge.
Wu Nian now occupies the Kyoto Plain and is very powerful. The siege strategy should be used.
But our Toyotomi family and our Toyotomi family are not without the capital to compete with the Han army. Just choose the best route.
"The spirit of a samurai is very important. But winning is more important. Now is not the time for a direct confrontation with the Han army. Kagetora, Naoki. Please be patient." Toyotomi Daikichi raised his head, first comforted the two generals, and then said to Katakura Jing Shi said: "Jing Shi, follow your strategy."
"The daimyo, Hattori Hanzo of the Iga ninjas. They are all at your disposal."
"Yes." Katakura Kageju received the important task, but did not show any joy. He bent down and responded with a serious expression.
.............
late at night.
In the city of Kyoto.
Although martial law was lifted in Wu Nian, the curfew remained. After dark, no one is allowed to move around the city except those with special permission.
Ouchi guards conduct patrols on fixed routes.
Among them, patrolling near the residences of the emperor and ministers under house arrest was a top priority.
The security inside the palace was even tighter.
suddenly. A fire broke out in a place in the east of the city, and then the fire became more and more intense, and soon spread to the nearby houses.
Some escaped, others wailed in the fire.
People in nearby houses were also alarmed.
The people who escaped quickly organized manpower and began to put out the fire.
The Ouchi guard in charge of patrol responded quickly and rushed to the scene. But instead of joining in fighting the fire, they were maintaining order.
In a room in the palace. There is no serious bed in Fusang. Wu Nian also followed the local customs and spread the bedding on the tatami.
He could fall asleep with a corpse on his pillow, and he slept soundly.
"Da da da!!!" The sound of rapid footsteps woke Wu Nian up.
"Your Majesty. There's a fire in the city." An imperial guard stood outside the door and bent down to report.
Wu Nian opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. Said: "Did someone set the fire?"
"Yes." Ouchi's guard responded.
"Change." Wu Nian nodded, lifted the quilt and stood up. A group of imperial guards entered the room, lit oil lamps, and helped Wu Nian put on his clothes.
After dressing neatly, Wu Nian, protected by the Ouchi guards, walked along the corridor and arrived at the imperial palace.
The Ouchi guards were a little nervous.
Someone set a fire in the city, and it was dark again. As the saying goes, it is easier to hide from an open gun than to avoid a hidden arrow.
Their nervousness is of course unnecessary, as the palace is currently completely under their control.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
Cheng Yulian, Wang Gui, Jingji Dao and other civil and military officials have already taken their seats. Wu Nian, neatly dressed, entered through the small door and sat cross-legged on the throne.
"Your Majesty." The civil and military officials saluted Wu Nian neatly.
"No courtesy." Wu Nian raised his hand and said calmly. Then, his eyes fell on Cheng Yulian and asked, "Did you find anything out of the investigation?"
Cheng Yulian did not answer, but turned his head to Kyogoku Dosan.
Kyogoku Dosan's face showed a solemn look, he bent towards Wu Nian and saluted: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it was the Iga ninja who did it."
"Hattori Hanzo." Wu Nian's expression also became serious. During the recent period, he and Kyogoku Yuki had talked a lot about ninjas.
There are many ninja schools in Fuso, and Iga ninja is one of the most famous schools.
Their leader has shared the same name for generations.
Hattori Hanzo.
Hattori Hanzo currently serves Toyotomi Daikichi.
The dispatch of ninjas is definitely not as simple as this fire.
Probably countless fires.
"It's true that the trees are quiet but the wind is not stopping. It's not easy to gain a foothold in the Kyoto Plain under Toyotomi Daiki's eyes." Wu Young Man shook his head lightly and sighed.
At this moment, he missed the Imperial City Division very much.
Miss Han.
In Liaodong, this kind of thing will not happen. First of all, the Imperial City Division has counter-measures. Liaodong is his base, and the people support him.
But here in Fuso, the situation is exactly the opposite.
The ninjas of Iga move freely in Fuso.
This is what happened in the fire in Kyoto City. The fire was quickly brought under control and the victims were properly accommodated.
But as Wu Nian expected, this fire was not an exception.
afternoon.
Royal palace, imperial palace.
A cloud came from the east and blocked the sun. The palace also instantly became dark.
Wu Nian sat cross-legged on the throne with a serious expression.
Cheng Yulian, Wang Gui, Jingji Xueli, Jingji Daosan and others were kneeling and sitting on the left and right sides.
Overnight.
The plains of Kyoto were in turmoil.
Fires broke out in towns and villages everywhere.
The bridge was damaged.
The Kyoto Plain is very fertile and has a dense network of rivers. The destruction of the bridge would cause great trouble to the Han army militarily.
Not to mention civilian use.
Not to mention fire. Civilians affected by the disaster need to be resettled.
If it continues. Don't even think about peace on the plains of Kyoto.
The autumn grain cannot be harvested either.
Without food to eat, the Han army was nothing more than a paper tiger.
