Everyone was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
Have to admit.
What Wu Nian said makes sense.
Although they are all the same human beings, they have one nose and two eyes.
But what different people say is different. With the prestige of the King of Han, if he can be honest and honest, he can tell all the generals and thousands of households.
Of course it can be trusted.
This is the trust accumulated in daily life, which is having an effect.
If Lu Liuliang died in Yise City, the Han army would not collapse internally.
But he told the general and thousands of households about this matter so openly and honestly.
Which king would speak so openly and honestly to civil and military officials?
I really want to save Lu Liuliang, not abandon him. If it can't be saved, it's destiny. Please don't blame me.
What king would say that?
Too cheap.
Those kings who are well versed in the ways of power are eager to guess riddles. Tell one thing and let Wenwu guess for himself. It's all about intrigue.
But everyone has to deny that this is the best solution at the moment.
Maintaining internal unity first is the first priority.
"Yes." Wang Gui exhaled and lowered his head first.
The others reacted and quickly lowered their heads, showing respect.
A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face, he sat back cross-legged, pointed at the map and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. From a war perspective."
"I'm sorry to say this to Lu Liuliang, but he was trapped. It brought the stalemate of the chess game back to life."
"I plan to attack Tajima Kingdom. What do you think?"
Wu Nian's finger was placed on the western part of the Fuso map, that is, the Tajima Kingdom in the northwest of Tamba County.
The basic information about Tajima Kingdom appeared in everyone's minds involuntarily.
Taima Kingdom is near the sea, bordering the two prefectures of Tamba and Tango in the Han Dynasty, and it borders Harima Kingdom to the south.
The height of the stone is 114,000 stones.
It is divided into eight small counties.
The territory is mountainous and produces silver and copper.
Specialties are sansho pepper, ginseng, porcelain, and dyes.
Mountainous areas are certainly not a good territory. But it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can be used as a barrier to the Kyoto Plain.
Moreover, Tajima Kingdom's geographical location is very important. If Tajima Kingdom is captured, it can attack the eleven countries in the west of Honshu.
If it can dominate the eleven countries, it will greatly expand the territory of the Han Dynasty in Honshu. If one thing goes down, the other will go up, and Toyotomi Taiyoshi will naturally weaken.
Currently, there are two great names in Tajima Kingdom.
They are the 30,000-koku Koizumi family.
The Terashima family's territory spans two countries and spans 180,000 koku.
The governor of the Koizumi family is named Koizumi Qingjun. The residence city is Chushi City. A mountain city.
The head of the Terashima family is called Terashima Masanori. The city where I live is the city of my adoptive father.
As for the number of troops of the two families, no one knows.
It is unclear how many troops remain behind.
But now that Toyotomi Daikichi has sent troops to surround Isshiki Castle, there should not be many troops left behind by the two families.
Everyone remained silent, which was their acquiescence.
"Then it's decided. I will personally lead the team to Tango County and join the defender Zhang Cai. With lightning speed, we will invade Tajima Kingdom and turn it into the county seat."
Wu Nian stood up, then looked at Kyogoku Daosan and said: "General Kyogoku. You lead five thousand soldiers under your command to stay in Kyoto."
"Wang Gui's ten thousand households and five Fusang households will go out together with the widow."
"Yes." Wang Gui responded loudly and bent down deeply.
Kyogoku Dosan was stunned for a moment, then a blush appeared on his face, he bent down and responded loudly: "Yes."
Although it is important to go to war, it is also important to stay behind.
Kyoto City was the base camp of the Han Dynasty in Fuso, if lost. Then the Han Dynasty was half disabled, not to mention failed.
He originally thought that Wang Gui would be left behind, but he didn't expect that it would be him.
This heavy trust really moved him.
Kyogoku Yuki smiled slightly and thought to herself. "The king is the king. Don't doubt the people you employ, and don't use the people you doubt."
"And Fuso Wanhu's combat power is far inferior to that of the Ouchi guards. It is better to use it to defend the city than to attack. So the king took away Wanhu Ouchi guards and half of Fuso Wanhu. He left half of Fuso Wanhu. "
"This is the best option."
"Of course. This is also my brother, and he has been approved by the king."
In her heart, she was very happy for Kyogoku Dosan.
Before that, the Han army's soldiers were ready. Food and grass are also abundant. Currently in the Kyoto plain, the spies of the Imperial City Division and the Fuma ninjas are all watching and listening in all directions.
There are very few Iga ninjas or Fuso spies active.
But Wu Nian still did not send troops immediately. Instead, he discussed with everyone, first of all, to send out troops at night and leave quietly.
Then calculate the speed of the march and arrange a secluded place to set up camp in advance.
While soldiers are valuable and quick, they must also be kept secret. Achieve the effect of taking people by surprise and attacking them unprepared.
certainly. Wu Nian also sent Ouchi guards first and secretly informed Zhang Cai, the guard of Tango County, so that he could be mentally prepared.
That night.
The gate of Kyoto City.
The soldiers and horses of one large house with ten thousand households and five with one thousand households of fusang were arranged neatly, and the grain carts and baggage carts were densely packed. Some carts were equipped with mules and horses, and some were pulled by soldiers themselves.
Wu Nian, wearing armor, stood under the city gate and said goodbye to Kyogoku Xueli, Cheng Yulian and Kyogoku Daosan.
"Kyoto City, I'll leave it to you two." Wu Nian said, cupping his fists.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The minister may lose his head, but the city will not be lost." Cheng Yulian looked determined and determined.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely lead the troops to defend the city." Kyogoku Dosan bowed and saluted.
"Please take care, Your Majesty." Kyogoku Yuki took a step forward and said softly. Then she turned back to look at her entourage. The attendant immediately raised the plate in his hand.
Kyogoku's snow-white hands held the wine glass and handed it to Wu Nian.
"Okay." Wu Nian said, then took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He stepped on the stirrups, got on his horse, and rode off into the night without looking back.
The Han soldiers and horses moved accordingly and disappeared into the night.
Cheng Yulian, Kyogoku Dosan, and Kyogoku Xueli stood at the city gate and stared for a long time before turning around and going back to the city.
The Han army headed northeast along the main road. We first entered Tanba Prefecture and then arrived at Tango Prefecture.
Although the Han army had a large number of troops, they slept during the day and marched at night. They also chose remote places to camp, so they were silent.
After arriving in Tango County, the Han army did not enter the city. Instead, they headed straight for the border area between Tango Prefecture and Tajima Country.
Zhang Cai also left the county town at night and met Wu Nian in the border area.
late at night.
Han army camp. Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Wu Nian, Wang Gui, and Zhang Cai stood in front of the desk, looking at the map.
Wu Nian raised his head and said: "After entering Tajima Kingdom, our actions can no longer be hidden. General Zhang. You lead the troops to attack the Izuishi Castle of the Koizumi family."
"Wang Gui. You lead the troops to attack all the castles of the Terashima family except the main city of Yangfu Castle. I will personally lead thousands of Fuso soldiers and horses to the gate of Yangfu Castle. Finally, we surround Yangfu Castle."
The Terashima family is a famous person with a fortune of 180,000 koku, and is relatively powerful. The foster father's castle is also the residence of the Terashima family, so it is difficult to attack by force.
First they occupied Tajima Kingdom, and finally surrounded Foster City.
As for how to attack, we will talk about it later.
"yes."
Wang Gui and Zhang Cai responded simply.
