Lu Xuan leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "A Japanese emperor like Tokugawa Ieyasu must not exist and must be executed. It is impossible for me to keep Tokugawa Ieyasu alive."
"But, you are different."
"I think your Tsukauma Kazuo is very good."
"Do you want to die with Tokugawa Ieyasu, or follow me and serve the Ming Dynasty?"
Lu Xuan's eyes were even deeper.
Men from the Japanese country would constantly migrate to the Central Plains. Women from the Japanese country would continue to marry people who migrated from the Central Plains. After one generation, these people would become the real people of the Ming Dynasty.
This process also requires the help of Japanese people and the help of Japanese traitors.
Tsukauma Kazuo is Lu Xuan's target.
Spiritual leaders like Tokugawa Ieyasu, as well as the Japanese emperor, must be put to death. Then, with the Japanese traitors constantly helping to attract hatred and targeting the Japanese at the same time, everything would be better arranged.
Tsukama Kazuo was a little hesitant when he heard Lu Xuan's words.
Lu Xuan recruited him.
This means betraying His Majesty the Emperor.
In particular, Tokugawa Ieyasu was his teacher to a large extent. It was Tokugawa Ieyasu who taught him and made him what he is today.
Lu Xuan looked at the hesitant Tsukama Kazuo and said in a deep voice: "Tsukama Kazuo, this is your only chance to survive. If you don't grasp it, I will have to train other people."
"If you want to die, I can help you."
"The fighting power of Japan seems to be very strong, but in fact it is very weak. You have seen it. Even if Tokugawa Ieyasu returns to Kyoto and recruits more troops, he will only be swept away by my army."
"If Tokugawa Ieyasu cannot be stopped now, he will be even more unstoppable in the future. He will definitely lose."
"The Japanese country can only become a part of the Ming Dynasty."
"You are now serving the Ming Dynasty. You are a hero who understands current affairs and chooses the best direction. Tokugawa Ieyasu has always been a cold-blooded person. He can give up the lives of all soldiers and ignore Matsushita Saburo. You are the same. "
"All people are just Tokugawa Ieyasu's tools, just weapons in his hands."
After Lu Xuan said something, he stopped talking and said, "You follow Tokugawa Ieyasu and you are very clear about Tokugawa Ieyasu's situation. So now, what decision do you make?"
Tsukaima Kazuo was even more embarrassed.
It's so hard to choose.
If Tsukama Kazuo does not betray, he will die with Tokugawa Ieyasu. If betrayed, he would feel sorry for Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Two emotions lingered in Tsukama Kazuo's heart.
After a long time, Tsukauma Kazuo gritted his teeth and made a decision. It was not that he was unwilling to continue to be loyal to Tokugawa Ieyasu, but that the Japanese country could not stop it and could no longer defend the Japanese country.
He is not to blame for all this.
thump!
Tsukama Kazuo knelt on the ground.
His eyes were solemn, and he knocked his head to the ground and said loudly: "Tsukama Kazuo, I am willing to serve His Majesty the Great Emperor."
Lu Xuan had a smile on his face.
Done!
Tsukauma Kazuo is Tokugawa Ieyasu's confidant. Now that Tsukauma Kazuo works for Lu Xuan, Tokugawa Ieyasu is isolated. These Japanese people talk about not surrendering, but in fact they are just talking, and their bodies are very honest.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Xuan is strong, which is the fundamental reason for Tsukama Kazuo's surrender. If Tokugawa Ieyasu had enough fighting power and could continue to fight, the people below would still persist.
But if Tokugawa Ieyasu cannot hold on, many people will panic.
This is human nature.
Lu Xuan said solemnly: "You will serve me and you will not regret the decision you made today."
Tsukama Kazuo made his decision and without hesitation, said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Great Emperor, what do you need me to do? Should I return to Tokugawa Ieyasu and prepare to assassinate Tokugawa Ieyasu?"
Lu Xuan sneered and said, "Do you think it can be done?"
"It's a little difficult!"
Tsukama Kazuo shook his head.
He quickly explained: "Reporting to the Great Emperor, Tokugawa Ieyasu is always protected by ninjas. In addition, Tokugawa Ieyasu had outstanding martial arts skills when he was young, and his swordsmanship was very good. Over the years, Tokugawa Ieyasu has not taken action again."
Lu Xuan ordered: "How to kill Tokugawa Ieyasu and how to deal with Tokugawa Ieyasu is your consideration. If you can kill Tokugawa Ieyasu, or when my troops come to Kyoto, you will make meritorious service for me. Naturally, You will be rewarded.”
"If you have not made any meritorious service, I will not kill you. But if you want to get benefits, it will be difficult."
"Everything depends on yourself."
"Even without you, our Ming Dynasty troops are coming in a steady stream, and our elite cavalry are still on their way to the Japanese country, and we can easily destroy Tokugawa Ieyasu. It's best with you, and there will be no impact without you."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "You do your best."
"I obey!"
Tsukama Kazuo was thinking in his mind.
Lu Xuan did not coerce or force orders, but if Tsukama Kazuo wanted to get benefits, he had to take further action and take the initiative to plan.
Lu Xuandao: "Go."
"As you command!"
After Tsukama Kazuo answered, he turned around and walked out.
Lu Xuan looked at Tsukama Kazuo's leaving figure and smiled softly. Whether Tsukauma Kazuo can succeed or not, Lu Xuan doesn't need to consider it at all. It's best if he succeeds. If he doesn't succeed, Lu Xuan can just attack directly.
This is a casual move.
After Tsukama Kazuo left, Lu Xuan still stayed where he was and was not in a hurry to leave. Lu Xuan was not in a hurry for the time being, but arranged for the army to escort the Japanese prisoners across the sea by boat back to Fushan City, and handed them over to Xun Yu, who took over Fushan City.
Xun Yu was in Guangfu City before, but now he has arrived at Fushan City. After Fushan City is stabilized, Xun Yu will follow and cross the sea further.
It will take a certain amount of time to send this group of prisoners back.
Lu Xuan did not send troops for the time being.
While Lu Xuan was garrisoning, Tokugawa Ieyasu and his people on the other side withdrew to Kyoto, the base camp of Japan.
After Tokugawa Ieyasu returned in embarrassment, he once again issued an order to recruit troops, and he ordered it in a Shinto way. In a short period of time, Tokugawa Ieyasu recruited most of the men and civilians in the entire Honshu Island area.
The number of troops, including 60,000 elite soldiers, was all gathered in Kyoto. In addition, the local government implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, allowing all the Japanese people to hide as much as possible, without giving Lu Xuan the opportunity to search for the people's food.
Although locally, there are more Japanese people in other areas, because the distance is too far, it will take time to recruit more elite soldiers.
In Tokugawa Ieyasu's plan, he must have more than 100,000 troops in the final strength.
Even a siege would kill Lu Xuan.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu was arranging things in the Emperor's Palace in Kyoto, there was a sound of footsteps, and soldiers entered and reported: "His Majesty the Emperor, Tsukaima Kazuo is back."
"pass!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered.
There was a look of hope in his eyes. If Lu Xuan accepted his invitation to surrender, the situation in Japan would be alleviated. Moreover, the Central Plains dynasty has always liked to be a suzerain state and does not seem to have much interest in destroying and annexing surrounding areas.
Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that he had hope.
After a short time, Tsukama Kazuo entered the main hall, knelt down respectfully, raised his buttocks, and said loudly: "Tsukama Kazuo, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."
"Get up."
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded.
His eyes were eager and even more hopeful, and he asked, "Tell me, you went to submit on behalf of my emperor. What did Lu Xuan say?"
