In the city of one color.
The treasuries and granaries were emptied. But there was some rice and food left in the rice vat in the kitchen of the Isshiki family retainer's house.
The Han army collected these things. The Han army also quickly put out the fire set by Yamamoto Heihachiro. The entire castle did not suffer much damage.
This time Lu Liuliang brought enough food and grass for three months, a large number of arrows, and a small number of spare weapons.
Under the command of officers, the soldiers of the Han army put these military supplies into granaries and treasury, and sent people to strictly guard them.
A large number of soldiers stood on the city wall, everyone was in high spirits and on alert.
Inside the castle tower.
Lu Liuliang was wearing armor and sitting on a small bench. Below him are one Senhu, ten Hundreds, and Yamamoto Heihachiro.
The officers were relatively calm, but Yamamoto Heihachiro's face was as pale as a mourning heir.
Lu Liuliang exhaled and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the situation is already obvious. We have fallen into a trap."
"If Toyotomi Daikichi wanted to eliminate us, he could just ambush us on the road. But he asked the Isshiki family to give up Isshiki Castle. Let us in. It proves that he wants more. The biggest possibility is to surround us. Attract the king to come to the rescue.”
"In other words, it's just a man-made encirclement point to call for reinforcements."
Having said this, Lu Liuliang smiled bitterly and said: "Unfortunately. The surrounding terrain is very complicated. It will be difficult for the king to send troops to rescue us. Even if troops are sent, I'm afraid..."
Lu Liuliang shook his head again. Since Toyotomi Daikichi has laid out this formation, he must be prepared. With the king's bravery and skill in fighting, he could have gone on a rampage.
But this is a mountainous area with complex terrain. Moreover, the Han army has no people base here. It is difficult to accurately know the mobilization of the Toyotomi army by relying solely on the information of Fuma ninjas.
If the king leads his army into the mountains and forests, he will be like a blind cat. If you are surrounded by the Toyotomi army, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
"We must be prepared to die here. Don't worry. Your Majesty will take care of our families."
Lu Liuliang said in a deep voice.
The officers were open-minded. A member of the Hundred Households raised his head and said with a smile: "General, there is no need to say anything. How can a soldier be afraid of death?"
"Our deep operations in Fuso are inherently risky. This situation is also expected."
"As for the pension, I am deeply aware of the king's kindness to the army."
Although he is not a Han, he feels a sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty in his heart. Not to mention anything else, the King of Han was really good to the army.
They all ate the royal food and worked for the King of Han, and he had no regrets.
"Yes. If there were other emperors or kings, it would be great if 50% of the pension for soldiers killed in battle could be given to their families. Here with the King of Han, it is both generous and can all go to the hands of their families. Now I am not worried if I die here. A small life with a wife and children.”
"That's right. We are not afraid of death when we fight in the army."
The officers were talking one after another, their morale was high.
Only Yamamoto Heihachiro's face became worse and worse, and he was sweating like rain.
"Very good." Lu Liuliang's eyes were slightly moist, and after taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice: "Since it is speculated that Toyotomi Daikichi is encircling the area for reinforcements, then he must allow us to send the news out."
"I will immediately send someone to tell the king. Ask the king not to come to rescue us."
"We will defend until we run out of food. We will either leave the city and die in the Fuso army's formation, or we will burn Yiseki City and die in a sea of fire. We will never surrender to the Fuso people."
"Okay." The officers nodded heavily without any hesitation.
"Very good." Lu Liuliang nodded, then turned to look at Yamamoto Heihachiro. His face and tone were not as gentle as before, and he said very sternly: "Mr. Yamamoto, how many retainers, clans, and soldiers do you have under you?"
"Please don't hide it."
Yamamoto Heihachiro immediately understood that this was to let the Yamamoto family participate in defending the city and coexist with the Han army. His mouth was bitter and he was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he had to say: "Report to the general. The Yamamoto family has six samurai and sixty soldiers."
"Okay. Let's temporarily organize it into one hundred households. Mr. will be the one hundred households." Lu Liuliang said.
"Yes." Yamamoto Heihachiro responded bitterly.
Although he made a guess, Lu Liuliang still hoped that he was wrong. Immediately, he arranged the task of guarding the city and asked about taking care of the family members of the Yamamoto clan.
After the arrangements were made, he came to the brightly lit bedroom to rest. But after he lay down, he tossed and turned, as if there was a ray on his back.
After finally staying up until dawn, Lu Liuliang ate breakfast in a hurry, put on his armor, climbed to the top of the castle tower, and looked around.
Then no surprise.
Lu Liuliang saw groups of troops appearing in the mountains. Some chose to station at the top of the mountain, and some stationed on the road.
Fuso's army appeared undisguisedly around Ise City. But a passage was deliberately left, and the meaning was obvious.
Send someone to rescue quickly.
Lu Liuliang took a deep breath, and then sighed again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have caused trouble for you." After muttering to himself, Lu Liuliang cheered up, turned around and said loudly to his soldiers: "Everyone will die. And dying on the battlefield is It is the honor of the general."
The soldiers lowered their heads to show respect.
Before the matter was determined, Lu Liuliang tossed and turned. The matter had been made clear, and Lu Liuliang let it go.
After standing on the top floor of the castle tower for a while, he felt sleepy. He let his Qianhu command the battle, while he went back to his bedroom and fell asleep.
The Fuso people wanted to encircle the area for reinforcements, so naturally they did not attack Yise City.
From day to night, the two sides were at war with each other, but they were at peace with each other.
.............
Osaka Castle.
In a room. Toyotomi Daikichi stood up excitedly and said, "Very good. Now that we have deceived General Lu Liuliang."
"If Wu Nian doesn't save Lu Liuliang, it will chill the other generals of the Han army."
"If Wu Nian goes to rescue Lu Liuliang, he will be a big fish that hits the fishing net by himself."
"No matter what you do, Wu Nian is wrong."
In front of Toyotomi Daikichi, Katakura Kageju, who was kneeling on the ground, also had a happy face.
"Jing Shi. Send someone to tell the generals on the front line. Tell them to be sure and be careful. Don't let this great opportunity go to waste."
Toyotomi Daikichi's excitement gradually calmed down, a solemn look appeared on his face, and he ordered.
"Yes." Katakura Kageju responded loudly as he bent down, then quickly stood up and walked down with brisk steps.
Toyotomi Daiki alone became excited again. He took out the folding fan from his waist and hit it on his thigh.
"Wu Nian. Wu Nian. Fuso is my territory. Whether it's terrain, intelligence, or people's hearts, they are all here."
"Although you have the upper hand, I am still stronger."
