Chapter 50: Ogawa surrenders

Chapter 50 Ogawa surrenders "Well, since that's the case, then I'll leave this matter to you." Kuroda Nagamasa said with a smile.

If you don't care about Shiro Ogawa's loss of Jinhua Castle at all, then you look down on Kuroda Nagamasa. It was precisely because Jin Huacheng was lost from Shiro Ogawa that he was so passive now, and he could only go to the Ming army to sue for peace in a low voice.

However, Kuroda Nagamasa has never mentioned this matter before, for the sake of his right-hand man Kameo Oshima. After all, both of them are responsible for losing the city, and if Shiro Ogawa is punished but Oshima Kameo is spared, it will be difficult to bring this team in the future.

And now Shiro Ogawa ran to him to show his loyalty, which is simply ridiculous. You must know that Kuroda Nagamasa can climb to such a high position as the commander of the legion, how can it really be just as brave as it seems. Shiro Ogawa's careful thinking can't escape his eyes at all.

He is now taking the initiative to ask for help, which is in line with Kuroda Nagamasa's thoughts. Let him try, and it is also very necessary to find out the specific details of the Ming Army. If you win, everything is easy to say, but once you lose, then you can't blame yourself for not remembering his past merits, and you can blame him for this incident alone.

Besides, Shiro Ogawa, seeing that Kuroda Nagamasa agreed to his request without thinking about it, and suddenly his face was stupid.

Fortunately, the reaction was fast enough, and he saw that Shiro Ogawa's face changed instantly, and he bowed down and said seriously: "Yes, Ogawa must live up to the expectations of the legion leader." Just saying this, Shiro Ogawa felt cool in his heart, and accidentally fell into the trap of this guy Kuroda Nagamasa.

Kuroda Nagamasa smiled, his face was full of pride, and he knew that he didn't dare not agree.

Time waits for no one, and with a plan, early the next morning, Shiro Ogawa was ordered to leave Seoul with 5,000 men and horses to battle under the castle. Xiong Dabiao, who didn't wait to prepare for a big battle, ordered his troops and horses, and the battle book was sent to his case.

"My lord, what should we do now, shall we accept this war book or not?" Zhang Chi looked at the battle book he had just sent and asked. 5,000 infantry against 5,000 infantry, although such a challenge seems reasonable, it does not reflect the advantages of one's own side at all.

"Hehe, of course we have to go next, otherwise the Japanese will look down on us." Xiong Dabiao said proudly.

Zhang Chi thought about it carefully, but he also felt reasonable. If they do not accept this war letter, it will be a blow to morale, and the brothers will always feel inferior in the future.

"If Lord Zhang doesn't object, then this time the official will lead the troops to fight, but let the Japanese take a good look, even if the troops are the same, my Celestial Empire army will still beat them!" Seeing that Zhang Chi had no different opinions, Xiong Dabiao clenched his fists and sneered.

The soldiers and horses gathered, but Xiong Dabiao also played a small trick. Among the 5,000 soldiers and horses, not only all the Shenji Battalion and 3,000 Battalion soldiers were included, but also the most elite soldiers in the border army were carefully selected, and it was definitely a man with super combat power.

Although it was an infantry duel, Xiong Dabiao, as a general, still rode a high-headed horse. Looking at the formation of the Japanese invaders a mile away, Xiong Dabiao smiled, slammed the horse's belly, and rushed out with a loud shout. "Kill!"

Although the 5,000 soldiers were on foot, they shouted and charged at a very fast speed, and after Xiong Dabiao rushed into the camp of the Japanese and killed more than ten people, the soldiers of the two sides fought together.

The Ming soldiers and horses were as imposing as tigers, and the Japanese under the leadership of Ogawa Shiro suddenly weakened by three points in momentum.

"Alas, the Ming army is really powerful." Kuroda Nagamasa, who was closely watching the situation under the castle, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Although he intended to use this to cure Shiro Ogawa's crimes, the five thousand samurai who went with him this time can be regarded as elite. But even so, in the face of the Han people, it is often two or three samurai who can't deal with the Ming army, which is really a bit sad.

"Your Excellency, let Oshima go out of the city to teach these Ming troops a lesson." Oshima Kameo said murderously that Fulixi left his soldiers and horses to flee in order to save his life, which became a lifelong shame for him. And if you want to wash away such a shame, you can only defeat the Ming army!

"Don't worry, let's talk about it tomorrow, you and I will take a good look at the tactics of the Ming army for the time being, and it would be best if we could come up with a strategy to break the enemy." Kuroda Nagamasa waved his hand and said.

Kameo Oshima was taken aback, "Your Excellency Legion Commander, what about Ogawa-kun?" ”

"Alas, I also want to open the city gate to save him back, but unfortunately the Ming army has been entangled with them, if the city gate is opened and they are let in, then the Ming army will definitely take advantage of the situation to rush in, and then it will be troublesome." Kuroda Nagamasa said with a light smile on his face. Borrowing the hands of the Ming army to get rid of Shiro Ogawa also saved himself trouble.

Oshima Kameo was stunned for a while, looking at the expression of His Excellency the Legion Commander, there is nothing that can be done here, and it is clear that he does not plan to ask for these 5,000 men and horses in the morning.

However, as a subordinate, Kameo Oshima can't say anything even if he is awkward in his heart, after all, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and he just obeys his orders in everything.

"Yaga, damn Kuroda Nagamasa, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" Shiro Ogawa, covered in wounds, slapped the gate and roared. I never thought that Kuroda Nagamasa, a bastard, would use such a despicable trick against himself!

"Tsk, this Japanese general is ruthless enough, can he just watch all his people die?" Seeing that the Japanese who fought against him fled back to the city, but the city gate was closed tightly and they didn't open it even if they shouted to break their throats, Xiong Dabiao couldn't help but sigh. Animals, they are really too animal.

"My lord, what should I do, do you want to chase down the city and kill this group of pirates?" A general of the 3,000 battalion came to Xiong Dabiao and asked.

"No need, if the city releases arrows, we will lose more than we gain. And the widows fled in the wilderness, we can be said to have won a complete victory this time, and we don't have to care about these three melons and two dates. Xiong Dabiao waved his hand and smiled, this fight was really happy.

With an order, carrying the injured robe, Xiong Dabiao and the rest of the men and horses retreated majestically.

It is said that this is a happy event, but Ogawa Shiro, who escaped death, watched the retreat of the Ming army, and was stupid in front of the city gate. It's not good, I just greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Kuroda Legion Commander in public!

Kuroda Nagamasa at the head of the city didn't expect that the Ming army would ignore the hundreds of remnants of the city and go away, and the angry scolding of Ogawa Shiro, who had been enjoying it very much in his ears, made him angry for a while. This damn bastard dares to greet his own family!

"Oshima, arrest this bastard Ogawa!" Kuroda Nagamasa said angrily. Today, I will punish him for several crimes, and I will punish him fiercely!

However, Shiro Ogawa, who had already realized that the situation was not good, also had a plan at this time. Not only did he lose to the Ming army, but he also insulted Kuroda Nagamasa in public, how could he let himself go easily.

And he was unkind first, so he didn't blame himself for being unjust. With a bite of his teeth, just when Oshima Kameo led the order to drive down the castle and come to arrest him, Shiro Ogawa finally made up his mind to surrender to the Ming army.

"Oh, according to what you say, your Guan Bai has decided to make peace?" After receiving Xiong Dabiao's urgent report, Shen Chongming hurried to the outside of Seoul, and heard that there were Japanese robbers who had taken refuge, and even met with Ogawa Shiro, a person who knew the times.

"Yes, Your Excellency is wise and powerful, and the warriors under him are even more brave and invincible, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces have been lost nearly half of them in Korea, and if Kuroda Nagamasa's Second Army is also destroyed, then Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Sekibai position will be difficult to protect. Therefore, in order to maintain his position, he could only choose to negotiate peace. Shiro Ogawa said with a flattering face.

In just a few days, he has already liked the life of surrender. Not to mention that the Ming army takes care of himself all day long, and he doesn't have to worry about Kuroda Nagamasa, a bastard, finding trouble for himself all the time.

Shen Chongming smiled, but he didn't fully trust his words. After all, he didn't know the situation in the country, and he couldn't tell whether what he said was true or not.

"If that's the case, then why hasn't Kuroda Nagamasa in the city sent someone to ask for the official's consent to negotiate peace after all these days?" Shen Chongming asked with a smile, if he couldn't say one, two, three, then he would be polite.

"Your Excellency, the reason why Kuroda Nagamasa dragged on and did not ask for peace is because Toyotomi Hideyoshi's first think tank, Tokugawa Ieyasu, came up with a plan for him......"

After explaining Tokugawa Ieyasu's plan in detail, Shiro Ogawa sneered: "Kuroda Nagamasa is a magic weapon for this method, and he is bent on winning a battle to increase his capital for negotiation, so he has not sent someone to negotiate peace. ”

Hearing the name Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shen Chongming's brows couldn't help frowning, a name that he was familiar with, could it be the Tokugawa family who had operated the Tokugawa Shogunate in the island country for hundreds of years in history?

Frowning and thinking about it for a while, Shen Chongming couldn't help laughing, if he remembered correctly, this Tokugawa Ieyasu was the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

This guy is really vicious, and he probably started planning to seize the throne at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with this vicious idea.

This method seems to make sense, but whether it succeeds or not, Kuroda Nagamasa's Second Army will suffer a lot of losses. At that time, most of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's power was lost, and it became easy for him to raise an army to overthrow Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Seeing Shen Chongming laughing inexplicably, Shiro Ogawa couldn't help but wonder, is this funny?

"Hehe, come on, send someone to the city to tell Kuroda Nagamasa that as long as they agree to our conditions, this official will let them live." Shen Chongming raised his head and commanded.

Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, how could he let him be a gunman. Leaving Kuroda Nagamasa with these 60,000 or 70,000 horses on hand was enough to ensure that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had the ability to temporarily suppress the ambitious Tokugawa Ieyasu.

And Tokugawa Ieyasu will definitely find a way to fulfill his wish at that time, and the contradiction between the two will not be eliminated at all, and the long internal friction will be the most favorable situation for our Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army took the initiative to ask for peace talks, but Kuroda Nagamasa was not happy. Since Ogawa Shiro surrendered to the Ming army, he knew that his hole cards had been revealed to the world, so these days he only thought about spending more time to see if he could break through, and he had no intention of competing with the Ming army.

"Oshima-kun, what do you think we should do now?" There was a mess in his heart, and Kuroda Nagamasa didn't know what to do for a while.

"Your Excellency, the matter has come to this point, and we can only negotiate peace." Oshima Kameo said helplessly. His Excellency the Commander of the Legion stole chickens and rice, since the surrender of the Xiaochuan Army to the Ming Army, the morale of the entire Seoul has gradually declined, and it is not easy to increase the chips in his hands in a war.
