Moreover, there will be no risk for him to go deep into the enemy camp. After all, the pirate made it clear that it was because Tanigawa Gonroku was greedy for his property that he came to attack the Wa Kingdom. Therefore, as long as there is a promise of good profits, it is not difficult to get these pirates to retreat.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was very happy when he heard this, and said approvingly, "Abe-kun has a heart!" In this way, Abe-kun stays, and the others retreat first! ”

After the others withdrew, Tokugawa Iemitsu told Abe Chukaku everything Tokugawa Hidetada had said. Abe Mid-Autumn praised again and again: "The boss is far-reaching, I might as well wait!" ”

Subsequently, the two discussed the terms of the peace talks. After that, Tokugawa Iemitsu asked, "Abe-kun, when are you going to leave?" ”

Abe Zhongqiu thought for a while and said, "General, I'll leave in the middle of the night tonight, after all, the moon is dark and the wind is high enough to hide your tracks!" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded without hesitation and agreed. It is easy to hide at night, and when you send an emissary out, no one will see you. As long as you can't see it, this thing doesn't happen, and this is what the Japanese people have always done. After all, taking the initiative to send someone to negotiate would mean surrendering, which was a huge blow to the prestige of the Tokugawa family.

That night, the soldiers had already begun to rest after a day's work. Today, they have achieved great results! They drove the captives and ordinary people to loot most of the city, and found mountains of various materials, as well as large quantities of gold, silver, and copper coins. After preliminary estimates, the military expenditure for this expedition has been nearly half recovered!

What pleased the soldiers the most was that they harvested a large number of livestock. The food in the camp has been improved. After all, bacon doesn't taste as good as fresh meat! Vegetables are also needed for life at sea.

When the night was dark, Abe Zhongqiu quietly left through the gap in the city gate with four people, and touched the direction of Liu Pei's camp with a dim lantern. The direction to the camp is very easy to find, as there are eight huge fires burning outside the camp, which is very eye-catching!

As soon as the group approached the area illuminated by the fire, they were discovered! A small group of soldiers came running quickly with spears in hand. The officer leading the team shouted, "Who are you, you are not allowed to come near here."

Village! Violators will be killed! ”

Abu Zhongqiu immediately said loudly in Chinese: "Don't worry! We didn't have weapons! We are messengers sent by the General! ”

As a qualified aristocrat, Abe Zhongchu speaks fluent Chinese. This made the officer leading the team feel very fresh! He walked out of the darkness that could not be illuminated by the fire, and looked up and down at Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival. After making sure that they were indeed unarmed, he approached them and said, "Name and purpose!" ”

Abe Mid-Autumn said: "I am the old man next to the general!" My name is Abe Chukyoshi. The Shogun has sent me to meet with your Excellency to discuss the dismissal of the troops on both sides. ”

This officer was indoctrinated by Liu Pei. Although he can't speak like Abe Zhongqiu, he can clearly understand what he means. At the moment, he said impatiently: "Surrender is surrender!" Why do you say it sounds so good? ”

Abe has lived in the Mid-Autumn Festival for a long time, and he has his own bearing. And he didn't want to say anything more about this man who was obviously a junior officer. In his eyes, this man was nothing more than a pirate boss! How advanced can a small pirate boss who can be sent to watch at night be?

So Abe Mid-Autumn said solemnly: "These things are not things you should talk about. You need to be on our way now! ”

Abu's demeanor as a high-ranking official shocked this low-born officer. He scratched his head and muttered, "You guys are waiting here!" ”

Then he seemed to feel that he had lost face in front of Abe Mid-Autumn Festival, so he glared at him hatefully. He turned around and ran back.

At this time, Liu Pei had just lay down and had not fallen asleep. He was wondering if he would bombard the castle tower tomorrow and show his force in order to force the other party to submit. When he heard that the envoy of the Tokugawa family had arrived, Liu Pei jumped up from the bed, laughed and said, "This is God helping me!" ”

The attendant next to him immediately prepared clothes and goggles for Liu Pei. While getting dressed, Liu Pei pondered why Tokugawa Iemitsu sent an envoy here? After the success of the Tokugawa family, they are already the top families in Japan! It can be described as a wealth and a strong force, and the soldiers are full of food

！ If he is cowardly after losing more than 20,000 people, this is absolutely impossible! There must be other reasons for this.

So Liu Pei ordered while getting dressed: "First take the messenger into the camp and settle it." And invite all the officers to my tent. ”

Liu Pei lived in a large tent, which was divided into two parts by felt cloth. The large part in the front is the headquarters, and the small part in the back is Liu Pei's bedroom. As for the other officers, they all lived around his big tent. So everyone arrived in time for a while.

Seeing that everyone was complete, Liu Pei briefly introduced the situation and said, "Everyone think about it, what did the Tokugawa family do when they sent an envoy?" How likely is it to give in? What is the reason for their submission? ”

Liu Pei said this because Liu Pei understood his own benefits. Liu Pei knew that he was not a super genius, and he didn't think that the ancients were all stupid! Those ancients just didn't have such a broad vision as him! If it is under the same rules, it is really uncertain whether Liu Pei can play these ancients!

A lot of hindsight always talks about how unwise a leader made a decision years ago and how profound the impact was on later generations. But they didn't even take into account how difficult it would be for this leader to make a certain decision under the conditions of the time. What was the surrounding situation around the leader when he made this decision? It is important to know that the information we have is not the same as the information that the parties have. The decisions they made weren't necessarily wrong!

Therefore, in order to avoid his own negligence, Liu Pei set up a staff officer system as quickly as possible. Some people say that the staff system kills spirituality and the emergence of genius! However, the emergence of the staff system also minimizes the possibility of making mistakes! You know, on the battlefield, it's often as long as whoever makes fewer mistakes. Whoever wins.

As the saying goes, there is a lot of power in numbers, and everyone is gossiping, and in a moment, they guessed Abe Tadaaki's purpose, and even the dialogue strategy was planned. With a strategy, Liu Pei sent everyone out, leaving only Qi Qitao and two officers, and four guards in the big tent, and then said, "Please come in with the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom." ”
