Toyotomi Shunyi brewed the tea twice, then poured another pot of hot water and put it in the teapot, poured the two teacups on the table after shaking it gently, and put a cup of tea in front of Cao Wei with both hands, with a solemn expression and meticulous movements.

"Your Excellency, please!"

Cao Wei took a sip of it, nodded and praised: "The same tea, the taste you brew is indeed better than mine, what is the reason?" ”

"The first time the tea is to remove dust, and the second time is to remove astringency, so it will be more fragrant after two times. It's like being a human being, after two washes, you will be smarter and know more.

When the Toyotomi clan was wiped out, I escaped with nine deaths, and then almost died on Liusi Island, it stands to reason that a person who encountered these two disasters has already turned into dry bones, but I didn't die, it's like two washes from heaven to me, in order to make me more intelligent and transparent, and I am strong.

I used to be arrogant and underestimate the heroes of the world, but after these two washes, I realized how ridiculous I used to be......"

Cao Wei frowned and interrupted him: "You came to find the official so late, wouldn't it be just to say this?" If the official doesn't sleep at night, does he want to listen to a man talk about his life insights? If you have anything to say, these preludes can be saved! ”

Chiba Noji smiled bitterly and said, "Adults still speak so directly, don't the officials of the Ming Dynasty like to contact their feelings before talking about things...... My lord, don't go, I did have something to discuss with my lord this time......"

Toyotomi Shunyi asked Cao Wei to sit down, and said, "I want to ask your Excellency to take Kono City and send it to Xiyuan City!" ”

Cao Wei looked at him coldly and said, "After breaking through Kono City, the soldiers are tired, they should rest for a few days, why go directly to Xiyuan City?"

Besides, there are 5,000 armor soldiers of the Chiba clan in Xiyuan City, and it is already a fluke that this official can kill the 5,000 armor soldiers under the command of Chiba Noyoshi, and there is no chance of winning in the face of the 5,000 armor soldiers who defend the city, Toyotomi, do you want this official and the soldiers to die? ”

Toyotomi Shunyi shook his head and said, "My lord, I have no such intention, and I asked my lord to go to West Garden City for a long time before I opened my mouth to my lord."

To tell the truth, the Toyotomi clan still has some remnants of the power in Xiyuan City, called Sangwei, about 2,000 of them, all of them are elite, and they are the hidden forces of the Toyotomi clan, led by the three old men of the Toyotomi clan, passed down from generation to generation, in order to suppress the turmoil when something happens one day.

This matter was known only to the head of the Toyotomi clan, the daimyo, and I didn't know that I was the eldest son of the Toyotomi clan at the time, and my father told me before he died. When I returned to the country from the sea, I wanted to contact these forces and take revenge on Chihahara......"

Cao Wei had already guessed that the Toyotomi clan still had residual power, and now Toyotomi Shunyi said this only to verify his guess. Cao Wei knew that many of his soldiers now had the intention of returning to their hometowns, so they couldn't stay in the Wa Kingdom any longer, and now Toyotomi Shunyi came to him to attack Xiyuan City.

He said quietly: "Since the Toyotomi clan has this group of forces, why is it still exterminated?" ”

Toyotomi Shunyi said astringently: "My lord, at the beginning, my father trusted Chiba Hara and let him control the samurai of the Toyotomi clan, and after a long time, the army turned out to be his cronies, and that day Chiba Hara was in turmoil, and there were only dozens of samurai in the family who sacrificed their lives to resist, and my father didn't have time to gather samurai ...... at all."

Cao Wei felt sorry in his heart, a clan name would hand over the military power in the clan to his subordinates, where could such a clan still exist.

Which emperor of the Central Plains dynasties did not regard military power as particularly important, even if the army went out, it was prudent to hand over the army to the leading general, and even sent some cronies to go out with the army to pass on every move in the army, even if this is the case, there are times when something happens, such as Zhao Kuangyin in a yellow robe, and Li Chenggui, the Taizu of Han.

I'm afraid this Toyotomi Shunyi's father is not a fool!

Toyotomi Shunyi saw Cao Wei's strange eyes, and immediately understood what Cao Wei meant, he smiled bitterly and said: "My lord doesn't know, Chiba Yuan has been the guardian of my Toyotomi clan since his ancestors, and in his generation, Chiba Yuan has a very good personal relationship with my father, but my father is not the eldest son of the clan, and he can't be a daimyo, but then Chiba Yuan said to my father...... Said that my uncle was patrolling in Anyun, and as long as he was killed, my father would be able to inherit the daimyo in the future......"

"Wait!"

Cao Wei was puzzled: "If the official remembers correctly, the Chiba clan only has four cities, Kono, Motoyama, Nishien and Ukita, why is your uncle patrolling in Anyun?" ”

"My lord, when the Toyotomi clan was still alive, there were more than four fiefdoms, and the area around Akamatsu Urajo and Hatano were all fiefdoms of the Toyotomi clan, which is why the Toyotomi clan is called one of the three major clans of Fuso. Many small clans in the surrounding area have to respect the Toyotomi clan and make offerings to the Toyotomi clan every year.

However, when Chiba rebelled, many of the castle guards did not listen to him and called themselves daimyos. Chiba had not enough troops at hand, and could only control four cities, so he had to give up those fiefdoms, and now the Chiba clan is called one of the three major clans of Fuso, but it is just to put gold on his face. ”

"Your father killed your uncle?"

Toyotomi Shunyi nodded and said, "It wasn't my father who killed it himself, but Chiba Hara led someone to kill it, and then blamed it on the bandits." At the beginning, my uncle also had a lot of samurai with him, so Chiba Hara almost didn't come back alive, and it was because of this that my father trusted him, and after becoming a daimyo, he handed over all the samurai of the Toyotomi clan to him, except for Sangwei. ”

Cao Wei pondered for a moment and said, "It's been five years since the Toyotomi clan was wiped out, how can you be sure that Sang Wei will still obey your orders now?" ”

"Your Excellency!" Toyotomi Shunyi said in a deep voice: "Although the three commanders who lead Sang Wei are not direct blood relatives of the Toyotomi clan, they are also passed down by the Toyotomi lineage, they exist for the Toyotomi clan, and they only obey the orders of the famous lord of Toyotomi, and now I am the famous lord of the Toyotomi clan, as long as I find them, they will naturally obey my orders!" ”

Although Cao Wei didn't speak, he didn't think so, in the past, the Toyotomi clan was strong, and these people naturally had to rely on the Toyotomi clan, but now that the Toyotomi clan has been wiped out for five years, how can they not have different intentions for their own future.

However, since Toyotomi Shunyi said it so surely, Cao Wei couldn't say anything, if this group of forces could be used by Toyotomi Shunyi, it would naturally be a good thing, lest it be a heavy loss to attack Xiyuan City when the time comes, but if something happens in the middle, then the mercenary guards must not be put in.

Cao Wei thought for a moment and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I plan to leave for the West Garden early tomorrow morning, and wait for the adults in the West Garden City after contacting the Sang Wei, and then the adults will rush to the West Garden City after breaking the mountain, and I will join forces with the adults to break the city and enter the famous lord's mansion with lightning speed, as long as the Chiba clan is slaughtered, I can easily take the West Garden City into my pocket......"

Toyotomi Shunyi may have been a little excited, and his face turned red: "My lord, there is a temple called Xiyuan Temple outside Xiyuan City, and my lord will send someone to wait there when the time comes, and I will contact your lord after I am ready in the city."

My lord, I've been waiting for this day for five years, and when Chiba Hara cut off my father's head in front of me, I must also slash this old thief! ”

Cao Wei nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided, this official will leave for the West Garden as soon as he breaks through Kono." ”

"My lord, then I'll step back first!"

Toyotomi Shunyi got up and walked outside the house, suddenly thought of something again, came back and sat down again, and said seriously: "My lord, you have to promise me one thing after the West Garden City is broken." ”

"What's the matter?"

Toyotomi Shunyi said word by word: "You can't rob it, if the adults rob the West Garden City, even if I rebuild the Toyotomi clan in the future, it will be in tatters, so the adults can't rob it anymore!" ”

Cao Wei said angrily: "Is this official the kind of person who likes to rob...... It's always okay to just grab the famous lord's mansion, right? "Da Ming Qing Shi
