After experiencing the first series of events, the Tokoku daimyo, headed by the Tokugawa family, fully understood that they had led their troops here just to kill people——
Hideyoshi arranged for direct descendants to line up at the back of the line of defense with the forces leaning toward the Toyotomi family.
Even if he stays in the most dangerous place, he can still decide whether to escape based on the situation.
As a result, Tadakatsu Honda, who was known as the unparalleled leader in the Eastern Kingdom and the best in Japan, took the initiative to write a letter to Liu Wei and sent an envoy to express his desire to negotiate peace.
Liu Wei was happy when he saw it.
In the perception of most Ming army generals, the Japanese pirate leaders who always wanted to talk to others before the war started were mediocre people, such as:
fantuantanshu.
Yukinaga Konishi.
The Ming army generals looked down upon him.
I feel that the Japanese represented by this person lack the courage of dogmatists like Kato.
However, despite Liu Wei’s thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her cheerful speech, she actually has a lot of thoughts on her mind:
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could use the name of peace talks to lure out this Japanese general named Honda Tadakatsu and capture him in one battle?
It would save too many brothers from dying.
Therefore, he sent two envoys to Sunchon Wa Fortress, pretending to discuss peace talks.
Double happiness!
An extremely important piece of information was brought back to Liu Wei by the messenger:
Hideyoshi's fate was not long gone, and all the generals wanted to return.
Not only the generals of the Eastern Kingdom were like this, but the Daimyo of the Western Kingdom who supported the Toyotomi family were also unwilling to spend any more time.
This opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He deserves Liu Dadao's promotion!
Since the enemy wants to retreat and feels there is no need to fight desperately, isn’t the peace talk sincere?
Liu Wei struck while the iron was hot and sent a higher-ranking envoy named Wu Zongdao to proactively continue to contact Honda Tadakatsu to discuss the specific details of the peace talks.
Wu Zongdao was well versed in the art of painting cakes, and said to Honda Tadakatsu: "Our admiral would like to petition the imperial court to grant you the title of Ming Dynasty official."
"And we know that Tokugawa Ieyasu was a decent man, and it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who was bad."
"You are being used as a weapon again. Hurry out of the city and negotiate with the Admiral."
If Xiao Xi is still alive and guarding Shuntian, then he must be doubtful about Wu Zongdao's statement.
After all, President Konishi had face-to-face talks with senior Ming army generals several times, and those encounters were not very pleasant.
Honda Tadakatsu was different. It was his first time dealing with the Ming army, and he was quite interested in getting an official title——
The Ming Dynasty had a vast land and abundant resources, and it was obviously an honor for the generals of the Western Kingdom to achieve such a level and be recognized by the other party, which could make them famous.
However, Honda Tadakatsu did not respond to the matter immediately out of caution.
When Liu Wei saw that this guy was still not ready, he was a little impatient. In order to show his sincerity, he came to the Japanese city alone. Every time the envoy entered Shuntian, he watched him off on a low mountain outside the city.
The coach of the Ming Army is so sincere!
Suffering from his lack of experience, or that Liu Wei was too good at acting, Honda Tadakatsu finally eliminated his worries and decided to try to talk to the top brass of the Ming army.
As agreed, the Ming army arrived in the old city of Shuntian. Liu Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart and sent a mission to invite the target out.
Honda Tadakatsu took a bath, put on the most luxurious armor, dressed up carefully, and then left Sunchon Wa Fortress with only fifty elite banners and headed towards the old city.
…
Dongguo Wushuang, who was seriously considering the peace talks, never expected at that time that senior actor Liu Wei had already arranged a special welcome ceremony for him——
This is also because the generals of the Western Kingdom did not say that peace talks with the top brass of the Ming army can never be trusted.
Because from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called peace talks were not allowed to occur. They could only play tricks. All Ming generals who really wanted to negotiate would not end well no matter what their merits were.——
Whether it's Li Rusong or Yang Hao, they have one purpose in calling the Japanese to negotiate, to play the old ancestor's trick of throwing cups as a sign, and to kill with swords and axes!
In order to welcome this strange big fish that he finally caught, Liu Wei thought hard. He had never been so concerned about finding a wife back then.
First, he found a flag official named Wang Wenxian and asked this person who looked like him to pretend to be the coach. After all, Dongguo generals rarely appeared on the peninsula, and he had been careful to keep a certain distance when he showed his sincerity.
As for himself, he changed into an official uniform and dressed up like Mr. Qian.
The whole play needs to be done!
Liu Wei searched many times and found a Yuhou who pretended to be his escort, Li Dexin, and an officer of the Li Dynasty, Bian Hongda, who pretended to be their capital marshal Quan Li.
In this way, the grass stage team was set up, and Liu Wei himself was holding the arrow pot as a background for his fake self.
In addition, around the big tent, Liu Wei ordered the military Taoists to take action to cover up the aura of the sword and axe-hands, no, they should be called musketeers.
At that time, he didn't know how many heavy weapons and firearms were pointed at this place. To ensure that there was no one out of ten, he also arranged for twenty homing pigeons.
He had made an agreement with the generals in advance that as soon as he saw him leaving the tent, he would immediately fire cannons as a signal and attack in all directions.
At the same time, flying pigeons were released, and they notified their trusted generals Wang Zhihan and Si Maoguan that as soon as they saw the white pigeon flying, they would rush from the nearby city to the Japanese city to block the retreat of the thieves chief.
However, Honda Tadakatsu left the base camp with fifty elite warriors. The closer he got, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the number of Ming troops. He felt a little suspicious and ordered his subordinates to pay more attention.
After they arrived at the Ming army's tent, the fake Liu Wei and others came out to greet them with smiles. As usual, they greeted each other for a while.
Oddly enough, Honda saw the real Liu Wei in the background and stopped for a moment, saying whether he was a blessed person or a powerful general.
to be honest……
When Liu Wei first saw Honda Tadakatsu, he almost laughed out loud. Is he so short?
Dongguo Wushuang?
There is a saying that Honda Tadakatsu is indeed short, 1.4 meters tall, riding a pony on his crotch, which is smaller than a donkey, but he is carrying the six-meter-long magic weapon Dragonfly Kiri in his hand.
Looks like a monkey riding a dog...
However, Liu Wei ignored the secret ridicule and was frightened. He thought he had been seen through and quickly made an excuse to leave the tent.
As soon as he went out, he immediately ordered the cannons and doves to be fired, and he was ready to take action. Honda Tadakatsumoto was suspicious. When he heard the noise outside, he immediately woke up, took the fifty flags with his sword and rushed out of the tent, grabbed the horses and left. .
Honda jumped on his horse and rode in a formation of wild geese, flying with lightning speed, spinning and killing.
This is a letter Liu Wei wrote to Lu Li. It is impossible to exaggerate, and it also shows that he failed to keep the other party.
The duck that reached its mouth flew away...
Worthy of being Dongguo Wushuang.
Honda Tadakatsu's successful escape back to Japan shows that Liu Wei's long-planned "peace talks" plan ended in failure without any surprises.
But he was still unwilling to give in. He gritted his teeth and sent a special envoy to explain, saying that our Ming Dynasty was different from Japanese customs. Setting off cannons was a courtesy and would only be done when meeting distinguished guests...nothing else.
Honda Tadakatsu was not a three-year-old, so he didn't want to break up with each other, so he just said a few perfunctory words and made up his mind not to go out.
The monkey riding the dog won’t come out?
Just hit it.
A letter asking for help then arrived in front of Lu Li. Liu Wei was the first admiral to proactively ask the navy to cooperate. He hoped that the navy could get closer to Shuntian and work with him to form a pincer attack on the Japanese.
That is, water and land advance side by side, making it difficult to see each other from head to tail.
