Originally, the messenger should have finished the content of the message in one breath. However, the news he told was too shocking, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Tokugawa Iemitsu himself, and if he said another word, it shocked the audience, so that he couldn't finish it in one breath.

At this time, seeing that he could speak, he hurriedly prayed again: "The Ming army has retreated." ”

"What, the Ming army retreated?" When Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, he was immediately surprised, feeling a little incredible, and hurriedly confirmed.

The others were dumbfounded, and when they came back to their senses, they all stared at the messenger with anticipation on their faces.

The messenger nodded hurriedly and said in a very affirmative tone: "The Ming army has boarded the ship and left, it is true!" ”

After being confirmed, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but be happy again, and muttered to himself, "It's good to go, it's good to go, it's good to go......"

Bao Ke Zhengzhi on the side was still asking the messenger: "Why did the Ming army retreat?" ”

When Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, he quickly closed his mouth and looked at the messenger, also concerned about this issue.

However, the messenger shook his head, it was not clear, anyway, the Ming army did not make an announcement, and he had no way of knowing.

In this way, Tokugawa Iemitsu was confused: he had sent troops to attack Korea before, and had fought several times with the Ming army, and now the Ming army sent troops to retaliate, which is not surprising. But the strange thing is, why did the Ming army retreat after occupying Edo?

Tokugawa Iemitsu consulted with several of his important ministers, and felt that the Ming army might be prestigious, or it might not want him to reunify the Japanese kingdom. Of course, there is also a possibility that something happened to the Ming army itself, so that the Ming army had a reason not to stay in Edo......

It is impossible to confirm the reason for the sudden arrival and departure of the Ming army, but it does not prevent Tokugawa Iemitsu from determining his next move, which is to hurry back to his lair to see the situation.

As a result, Tokugawa Iemitsu abandoned Kyoto a few days after the capture of Kyoto, and Emperor Komitsu hurriedly returned to Edo after being coerced.

…………

On Hauge's side, he was really forced to a dead end by Tokugawa Iemitsu, and he couldn't retreat again. Fighting the Ming army, there is absolutely no possibility of winning; And against the Tokugawa shogunate, it is still possible to win. Therefore, he slowly threw out all the non-elite subordinates, resulting in a situation where he had been defeated in consecutive battles and could no longer compete with the Tokugawa shogunate, so he prepared for the final battle between the elite and Tokugawa Iemitsu, either the fish died or the net was broken.

But he was holding back his strength when Tanma suddenly came to tell him that the Tokugawa shogunate had hastily withdrawn its troops, which surprised Hauge very much.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Hauge sent people to inquire again, and finally learned the reason for the withdrawal of the Tokugawa shogunate, which surprised him.

If the army sent troops to save him, he would never believe it. He is not a person from the Ming Dynasty, or rather, he is a mortal enemy, the object of pursuit, it is good if the Ming army does not attack him, how can it be possible to attack the Tokugawa shogunate to save him.

For this situation, he can only ask the "punching bag" about the situation, after all, Mingren still understands Mingren better.

Bao Chengxian's injuries have not been healed, even if he is almost healed, he will be beaten by Haoge, and when he heard Haoge's question, he could only endure the pain and replied: "Master, this may have something to do with Emperor Daming......"

"What?" When Hao Ge heard this, he was immediately shocked and said, "You mean, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom has come to the Wa Kingdom?" ”

If the emperor of the Ming Kingdom came to the Wa Kingdom, it means that the Ming State is going to do something big in the Wa Kingdom. And this major event is nothing more than the capture of the entire Wa Kingdom, so what should he Haoge do?

Against the Ming army without the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, it is already powerless, plus the emperor of the Ming Kingdom who destroyed Shengjing, isn't it ten deaths!

"No, master!" Bao Chengxian saw that he was afraid of being like this, and he could actually understand it in his heart, so he hurriedly explained, "The meaning of the minions, this action of the Ming army, is likely to be out of the will of the Ming Emperor, because the minions looked at the way of the Ming Emperor before the use of soldiers, and they cherished the Ming soldiers very much, and did not want the Ming soldiers to be killed or injured too much." ”

Seeing Hauge's relieved look after hearing his words, Bao Chengxian also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Hauge was in a good mood, he would be able to fight less, so he hurriedly explained: "The Ming army took advantage of the Tokugawa shogunate army to attack our army with all its might, and the sneak attack and capture when the Edo army was empty was the way to fight with the least losses of the Ming army." And if the Ming army continued to occupy Edo, it would face a desperate counterattack by the Tokugawa shogunate army, which would definitely make the Ming army lose more troops, so the Ming army retreated, just because they did not want to lose too many troops. ”

After a pause, Bao Chengxian continued: "Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Ming Kingdom in the Wa Kingdom, doesn't care too much about this. If he could call the shots, he would definitely not spit it out again since this Edo was eaten by him. The same was true of the last time Kyoto fell. Sun Chuanting will inevitably occupy Kyoto regardless of casualties, and then attack back and forth, ambushing us who are returning from Tokuyama......"

Haoge understood, it turned out that all this was manipulated by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

A rich emperor from all over the world, with an uncountable population, is still so stingy with the Ming army, this is so uninformed! If he were the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, he would have laid down the Wa Kingdom a long time ago, and there would still be so many inkblots!

Thinking of this, Haoge couldn't help but despise the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom who was far away in Beijing: Hmph, the benevolence of the woman!

He didn't know that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen did this was because of the kindness of a woman, but more than that, he was playing chess with the whole world as a chess game, and he didn't care about the affairs of a small country!

If the Wa State is defeated too early, the losses of the Ming army will inevitably not be small, and there will be fewer veterans who will be used to fight elsewhere in the future; Also, the Wa Kingdom will also become one of the burdens of the Ming Dynasty, at least for a short time, it is impossible to produce anything. If the forces of all sides of the Wa State are allowed to consume each other more, then after the Ming Dynasty occupies the Wa State, it will not only make the Wa people who have suffered from the war grateful to the Ming Dynasty, but also reduce the burden to stabilize the rule of the Wa State.

Besides, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen's attention was focused on internal affairs, and externally, Tianshan was the focus of his attention, because there were more uncertain things there. And sooner or later, the Wa Kingdom is the meat in the bowl of the Ming Dynasty, and sooner or later it will have to be eaten, and there is no need to rush it.

Therefore, the pattern is different, the ideas will be different, with Haoge's ability, at most, he is just paying attention to such an island as the Wa Kingdom, and thinks that he is better than Emperor Chongzhen, which can only be said to be a frog at the bottom of the well!

Anyway, the current situation can make him breathe a sigh of relief, which makes him very happy, so he slapped Bao Chengxian on the shoulder in a circle, and said happily: "You Ming dog, your brain is really good, it's a pity to kill you!" ”

Unexpectedly, Haoge was happy to fight, and he also beat Bao Chengxian to grin his teeth, but in the end, he still had to reply painfully: "The master has won the award, and the slave is not as smart as the master." ”

When is this kind of day a head!

Hauge ignored him, immediately gathered his subordinates to discuss the military situation, and decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to re-expand his power.

Not to mention, the Tokugawa shogunate army was killed in Edo, and the people were panicked; The second is that they think that Hauge's troops are no longer good, and they are just missing their final blow, so their vigilance has relaxed.

Hauge led a raid on the Tokugawa Shogunate Army, fully carrying forward the ability of Kenyu to create panic and chase the killing, starting with the motley troops of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army, and then expelling these Japanese people to sweep the elite of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army, resulting in a great defeat of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army, and it was not until Nagoya that he stabilized his position.

However, Hauge's troops regained momentum, and it was morale high; And the Tokugawa shogunate army turned from victory to defeat, and even if it stabilized, the morale was very low. Many samurai were worried about how small their families were, and they didn't even think about dying in Nagoya, so they thought about returning to Edo as soon as possible.

How could Hauge let go of such a rare opportunity, wrapped up the defeated soldiers who were captured, and launched a fierce attack on the Tokugawa shogunate army with human life tactics, it can be said that there were countless casualties, and the continuous battle on the Nagoya side really became a hell on earth.

Eventually, the Tokugawa shogunate had to retreat slowly, and Hauge's headquarters regained their pre-Ming sphere of influence in Kyoto.

"Hahaha, what's the matter, this king can't be killed, right?" Standing on the ruined head of Nagoya, Haorge watched his men flock to the north, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, "Tokugawa Iemitsu's head of that old man, this king will sooner or later unscrew it down and use it as a urinal!" ”

"The master is mighty!" Bao Chengxian had a toothache, it was a real toothache, and he was still tormenting him with the last few teeth, "Now when you are in a hurry, you can't give Tokugawa Iemitsu a chance to ease!" ”

Before, it was Tokugawa Iemitsu who wanted to destroy Hauge's department in one go; Now that it's the other way around, it's Hauge who wants to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Tokugawa family in one go.

Hauge nodded, and was about to agree, but he heard Turg say on the side: "Master, at this time, the resistance of the Tokugawa shogunate army has become more and more great, although this is an opportunity to destroy them, our losses will also be very heavy. In the eyes of the slaves, we also need to take a breath! ”

First went to attack the Ming army and failed, was taught a lesson by the Ming army, and then was beaten by Tokugawa Iemitsu as a water dog, which was really about to reach a desperate situation, and now he is chasing and killing the Tokugawa shogunate army, which basically has not stopped. Even the elite of the iron can't withstand this kind of consumption.

Haug listened and felt that Turg had a point. For a moment, I couldn't help but be a little uncertain.

If it were to be the case, Bao Chengxian would have insisted on his opinion and stated the necessity of continuing to pursue the Tokugawa shogunate. But now he has been scared, afraid that if he insists on it, it will attract Hauge's old fist, and he feels a faint pain in his body, so he chooses to be silent.

However, although he was silent, someone helped him and supported his suggestion.

And he saw a fast horse galloping towards him. The man on horseback looked like a serious Jurchen.
