"Come to the manager, General Qi. The last general will ask you to attack the city. It only takes half an hour to break through the city and capture Toyotomi Hideyoshi alive!"
"The general only needs five thousand elite soldiers to break into the city!"
"Come to the general manager, General Qi. I would like to issue a military order. If the city is not breached, please behead someone!"
Faced with the impassioned petitions from the Sui generals, Lai Huer acted as a storekeeper and handed everything over to Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang smiled slightly and shook his head to reject them one by one.
The generals were puzzled and couldn't help but ask Qi Jiguang: "General Qi, Xiongben is not a fortified city in the Central Plains, and the Japanese army is even more vulnerable. Could it be that General Qi still can't trust us?"
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi is already a grasshopper after the fall, and our army can destroy him with just a few clicks."
Qi Jiguang explained patiently: "But please don't forget that in addition to Kyushu, the Japanese country also has three large islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, and Shikoku, as well as many other small islands. If our army attacks one island and one city, it will not only be a laborious task." The expedition was delayed, and the logistics and supplies were stretched, making it extremely easy for the local Japanese natives to attack the food routes."
"So General Qi intends to keep Toyotomi Hideyoshi and induce the main force of the Japanese army led by Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo from various places to send troops to rescue the besieged city and provide reinforcements!"
The generals of the Sui army were all experienced in the battlefield, so Qi Jiguang's prompting made them all react immediately.
Lai Hu'er, who was sitting high in command, also stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction. Now that he was old, it was inevitable that he would not be able to fight on the battlefield. With Qi Jiguang as his capable deputy, he could feel at ease.
Yang Gao was well aware of his intention to protect his son, but since Qi Jiguang was so capable, he, a general of the older generation, was happy to pave the way for the young man.
At that time, the Sui army divided its troops, Lai Hu'er led his son Lai Zheng, and General Zheng Chenggong led the army to besiege Xiongben City. Qi Jiguang, Zhang Yu, Gan Ning, Guo Zhiyun, and Zhang Dingbian each led an elite force to ambush and respond to each other from a distance. Open the net and wait.
A few days later, the daimyo of Kagoshima and Miyazaki in the southern part of Kyushu Island, which were relatively close to Kumamoto, led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to arrive first, and ran into the dragnet laid by the Sui army.
The Sui army besieged on all sides, divided and surrounded the Japanese army, and defeated the Japanese army like chopping melons and vegetables. The Japanese army killed tens of thousands of people, and the rest were so frightened that they no longer dared to fight against the Sui army.
The news reached Edo Oda Nobunaga. The great devil who called himself Cao Cao of Japan saw Qi Jiguang's strategy. He immediately proposed to issue a conscription order to the whole country. Ten-year-old boys, men, women and children all over the country joined forces to fight against the Sui invasion.
However, at this time, different voices appeared in the Japanese court. Japanese officials, led by an emperor's party member named An Zuoxi, raised objections to Oda Nobunaga at the court meeting: "Lord Guanbai, the Sui army is coming with great force, and the soldiers are elite. One armored warrior is against ten, even if all my people are soldiers, there is no chance of victory!"
Oda Nobunaga tightened the sword hanging on his waist and sneered: "According to your wishes, what should we do?"
An Zuoxi immediately replied: "Only by forming a good alliance with the Kingdom of Heaven can our country of Japan survive this calamity."
"Didn't I send an envoy to please the Sui Dynasty?"
Oda Nobunaga snorted angrily: "The little emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Wu Na, bullied others too much. He beat my delegation out of Luoyang with a stick and sent troops to cross the sea to expedition to our country. How can I, my lord, make a good relationship with this?"
An Zuxi laughed and said: "After all, we were the ones who provoked the war against China in the first place. China will naturally be displeased. If we send more missions to explain our goodwill to China, we can always make China understand our respect for China. .”
"Not bad!"
Officials from An Zuxi's group nodded in agreement: "The Celestial Empire is powerful and the people of our country are weak. We are definitely not the enemy of the Celestial Empire."
"We must measure the material resources of our Japanese country and win the favor of the heaven. Only in this way can we resolve the crisis!"
"I think you want to use my head, Oda Nobunaga, to please the little emperor of the Sui Dynasty!"
Looking at Anzahibi and others who were talking more and more enthusiastically in front of them, Oda Nobunaga suddenly showed a ferocious expression and said through gritted teeth.
"Lord Guan Bai, what does this mean?"
An'an Xi, who had a ghost in his heart, suddenly felt a thump in his heart when he heard this, but he pretended to be confused and said that he didn't admit it.
"Master Anzuo, stop pretending! The messenger you sent to contact the Sui army has fallen into our hands!"
Just hearing a thought, two of Oda Nobunaga's confidants, Sanada Yukimura and Miyamoto Musashi, led a group of Oda Nobunaga's elite guards into the hall with murderous intent, and killed the few who had just danced the most, headed by Ara Jubilee. The officials pushed him to the ground and escorted him to Oda Nobunaga.
"Lord Guan Bai, this is the letter found from the courier!"
Sanada Yukimura handed a letter to Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga opened it unceremoniously and quickly browsed through the letter. Then he smiled evilly and said to Anzahi: "Master Anza is really Be generous, not only will I, Oda Nobunaga's head be given to the young emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but I will also pay tribute of one hundred thousand taels of gold, five hundred thousand taels of silver, and hundreds of beauties, and cede Kyushu to the Sui Dynasty. You are truly a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty emperor. Dutiful son!"
"Oda Nobunaga, if it weren't for you, a rebellious minister and traitor, who took advantage of His Majesty the Emperor and provoked the Heavenly Dynasty to bring such great trouble to our Japanese country, why would I have to do this?"
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Anzahi no longer pretended, struggled to raise his head and shouted at Oda Nobunaga: "You are the greatest scourge of the Japanese country, except how you can calm the anger of the Celestial Empire!"
"You coward, the scum of the Yamato nation!"
Oda Nobunaga was furious, stepped on the back of Anzahi, and roared: "What kind of heavenly kingdom? Our Yamato nation is the most noble nation in the world! I, Oda Nobunaga, will one day The horse will ride on the Central Plains and incorporate the territory of the Sui Dynasty into the territory of our Dahe nation!"
"Idiots and dreams, you devil, if you provoke the Heavenly Kingdom like this, you will definitely bring great disaster to the Japanese Kingdom!"
Anzahi's body trembled, and he raised his finger tremblingly and pointed at Oda Nobunaga.
Before he finished speaking, Oda Nobunaga had already unsheathed his sword and pierced Anzahi's chest with one sword.
"Execute all these scum of the Yamato nation, as well as their parents, wives, and children!"
Oda Nobunaga raised his sword to the sky and shouted sternly: "Give orders to the daimyo everywhere and lead all the people under their rule to gather in Edo. Anyone who dares not to come will be punished as treason!"
This time, I personally go on an expedition. Even if we fight to the last person in our Yamato nation, we will fight to the death with the Sui Dynasty! "
The Emperor of Japan was a puppet supported by Oda Nobunaga, but he was just a six-year-old child. After Kurama Nobunaga and other emperor factions were eliminated by Oda Nobunaga with iron-blooded means, they had no idea at all and became completely Oda Nobunaga's. echo.
With the promulgation of the conscription order, all the people of the Japanese country became soldiers. Men, women, old and young, carrying hoes and clubs, and wearing crude armor made of wood and rattan, were forcibly conscripted to the front line.
