At this time, Konishi Yukicho was leading the rest of his troops to huddle in the area of Zhengyang Mountain.

Originally, the opponent did not have an advantage in terms of numbers, and the opponent still had powerful advanced firearms that his own troops did not have, and if he blindly carried them to the end, he was afraid that the entire army would be annihilated. In the face of the strong Ming army, Konishi Yukinaga felt an unprecedented pressure.

For a commander-in-chief, if there are no soldiers under him, the consequences will be unimaginable. He deeply regretted that he had gone his own way and gone deep alone, resulting in the siege he is now in.

In addition to the fierce battle, he thought that several other invading Japanese troops would come to reinforce him, but until the city gate was broken by the Ming army, he did not see a single reinforcement.

"This group of selfish bastards who only know how to preserve their strength, they can't save them when they die, it's really a waste of Lord Guan Bai's trust!" Seeing his current predicament, Konishi gritted his teeth with hatred for the other leaders of the Japanese army that invaded Korea.

Faced with an irretrievable defeat, he didn't want his subordinates to continue to shed blood and sacrifice. He knew very well that as a leading general, if this battle led to the annihilation of the whole army and there were no soldiers under him, it would mean the loss of his status and value. If you really get to this point, you will be mercilessly punished by your boss and staff.

After weighing the pros and cons, Governor Konishi decided to negotiate peace with the Ming army, and he sent his military adviser and translator Jing Zhe Xuansu to the Ming army camp to negotiate.

After listening to Jing Zhe Xuansu's intentions and intentions of President Konishi, Li Rusong readily agreed.

In fact, at the beginning of the battle between the two sides, Li Rusong left an escape route for the Japanese army in the city. Now, although the victory is decided, half of the opponent's forces have not been annihilated. Once the other party is forced to be in a hurry, this remnant Japanese army is really going to fight to the death, and it is not so easy to deal with.

The so-called "besieged city must be que, and the poor should not be chased". Li Rusong, who is well versed in Sun Tzu's Art of War, will not fail to understand this truth. Of course, he will not let go of this group of beasts in vain. Before the siege, he had laid an ambush on the route where the Japanese army might escape.

Weighing the pros and cons, it is wiser to strike and destroy the enemy when they are busy escaping than to surround them and chase them.

After negotiations, the two sides agreed that the two sides would stop fighting, and the Ming army would give way to allow the Japanese troops in the city to withdraw from the southern gate of Pyongyang. Then cross the Datong River and withdraw to Wangjing.

Knowing the outcome of the peace talks, Yukicho Konishi let out a sigh of relief. Although he took the initiative to sue for peace after the defeat of the army, it was not very glorious to say in front of his colleagues in the future, but as long as he could withdraw safely and preserve the existing living forces, after arriving in Wang Jing, even those bureaucrats who did not agree with him on weekdays had some complaints about themselves, and the superiors and staff should also weigh and consider how to punish themselves.

Of course, Governor Konishi would not be so stupid as to easily believe that the Ming army, which had the upper hand, would let his troops evacuate so easily. He still understands the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit. Just in case, he divided the remaining 7,000 soldiers into two teams: one was a well-equipped army of more than 3,000 retainers who were his descendants, formed by Governor Konishi himself; The other team was another 4,000 or so ashigaru and other miscellaneous troops.

Governor Konishi decided to lead his descendants to quietly evacuate from the secret passage and retreat to Wang Jing in a detour. Another group of soldiers retreated to Wangjing in accordance with the route negotiated with the Ming army, crossing the Datong River.

Everything was arranged, and Governor Konishi made a brief speech to his 3,000 retainers in Zhengyang Fort, and then prepared to leave.

The secret passage used for the retreat is located under Zhengyang Fort. After the Japanese army occupied Pyongyang, Konishi Yukicho ordered the secret passage leading to Mt. Ishida outside the city to be dug in order to escape from the siege when it was difficult to break through the siege in the city.

"Father, daughter will not leave Pyongyang even if she dies!" Just as Governor Konishi packed his bags and prepared to enter the secret passage, his daughter Yoo Yingying declared that she would not leave Pyongyang.

At the beginning, Xie Yuan, Shi Lang, and Ye Ruliu approached Konishi Yukinaga through Liu Yingying, and then found out the number of Japanese troops in Pyongyang City. After Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, and Xie Yuan left Pyongyang, Governor Konishi, who learned what had happened, did not blame his daughter.

For his daughter, Konishi Yukicho has always had a guilty mentality in his heart.

After arriving in Pyongyang, when he saw his daughter's current living situation and learned about the grievances suffered by her, his guilt became even stronger. He seriously tortured himself again and again: Wasn't his daughter's tragic experience caused by himself? He wants to make up for his past debt to his daughter by changing his current living situation. But the daughter didn't appreciate it at all. An invisible chasm has always separated him from his daughter. Again and again, he tried to close the gap through his own efforts, but each time it ended in his disappointment.

For Konishi Yukichang Lee, his daughter is close at hand, but she is also thousands of miles away.

In desperation, President Konishi simply stopped trying to change his daughter's current situation, all he could do was to try to spare time to go to his daughter's music workshop and listen to his daughter play the piano to relieve the pain in his heart.

Regarding the fact that the daimyo spy obtained information about the Pyongyang garrison through his daughter, he believed that his daughter was being used without knowing it. Therefore, although he was a little annoyed about being obtained by the enemy, he never showed his blame for his daughter in front of him.

To be honest, for this unjustified war of aggression against Korea, Konishi Yukinaga was not overly fanatical like other generals who invaded Korea. He prefers the latter to war and the trade in medicinal herbs. If it weren't for the trust of Sekihaku Toyosei Hideyoshi and the selfish desire to enter the court to find a daughter, it would be difficult for Konishi Yukito to guarantee whether he would personally lead an army and set foot on this bloody battlefield of conquest and killing.

After the siege of the city by the Ming army, Konishi's first thought was to ensure that his daughter was not harmed. He was both soft and hard, and even once begged his daughter to go with him by kneeling down for his daughter. In the end, the daughter was finally moved and reluctantly agreed to withdraw from Pyongyang with her.

The reason why Liu Yingying agreed to President Konishi's request was also out of helplessness, when she saw her elderly father kneeling in front of her and pleading with tears in her eyes, the last line of defense in her heart still collapsed, she picked up her father with tears in her eyes, and reluctantly nodded to agree to her father's request. globe

Now, seeing that she is about to leave Pyongyang City and lose the great opportunity to reunite with her sweetheart, Liu Yingying instantly regrets her original decision, she stands at the entrance of the basement of Zhengyangmen, holding on to a wooden pillar beside her with both hands, no matter how persuaded by the people around her father, she just refuses to let go.

"Yingying, if you don't retreat to Wangjing with me today, I will die for you!" Seeing that his daughter was unwilling to go with him, Konishi Yukicho pulled out a waist knife from his waist and put it against his neck.

"General, no!" Several of his men standing on the side panicked and persuaded Konishi Yukicho.

"All stand back!" Governor Konishi ordered his subordinates sharply, and at the same time, the waist knife in his hand was slightly forced, and the blade had pierced the skin.

"Father, don't force me to ......" Seeing the red blood flowing from her father's neck, Liu Yingying's legs suddenly went limp, and her hands slipped off the pillar weakly, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Help Miss Leave!" Standing behind Yukicho Konishi, the female ninja Izumo Kumi glanced at the two men standing aside.

The two subordinates understood, hurriedly ran over, and helped the dazed Liu Yingying to walk towards the secret passage.

"Withdraw!" Yukicho Konishi ordered.

On the other hand, according to the route agreed upon in the negotiations, the Japanese army marched in a neat line through the main road in Pyongyang City and walked in the direction of Hanmun Gate.

Along the way, the soldiers of the Ming army lined up on both sides, holding bright weapons, and glared angrily at the passing Japanese in front of them.

Li Rusong was dressed in military uniform, riding on a tall horse, and surrounded by several generals, he looked at the Japanese soldiers in front of him.

"My lord, I didn't see Yukicho Konishi in the enemy team." Ye Ruliu, who was standing in the team, keenly discovered this situation and hurriedly reported it to Luo Shiyin beside him.

Hearing Ye Ruliu's report, Luo Shiyin suddenly felt that something was wrong, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately conveyed the situation to Li Rusong.

According to Li Rusong's plan, in the battle of Pyongyang, even if the Japanese army cannot be completely annihilated, it is necessary to strive to capture alive or kill the supreme commander of the Japanese army, because this will greatly deal a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army invading Korea and will be of extremely important strategic significance in the war.

Li Rusong originally wanted to annihilate this remnant enemy in one fell swoop on the retreating route of the Japanese army, because this unexpected ambush could not only effectively destroy the enemy, but also minimize the casualties of the Ming army.

Judging from the neat formation of the Japanese army just now, this Japanese army still has considerable combat effectiveness. If they insist on being locked up in Pyongyang City to fight, once this stubborn enemy, who feels that they have lost their way out, will play with their lives, even if they can be eliminated, I am afraid that the Ming army will have to pay huge losses.

Hearing Luo Shiyin tell him that there was no sign of Konishi Yukichang among the evacuated Japanese army, Li Rusong was stunned for a moment, and then realized the seriousness of the matter.

Judging from the number of Japanese troops that have just passed, it is estimated that there are only three or four thousand Japanese troops who have withdrawn. Judging from the reports of the besieging troops and the approximate number of Japanese troops destroyed, the nearly 20,000 Japanese troops defending the city will definitely not be left with only three or four thousand people.

There is fraud in it!

Li Rusong did not dare to slack off, and immediately summoned the generals around him to analyze the situation and discuss countermeasures.

After a brief analysis, it was agreed that Governor Konishi was still hiding in the city of Pyongyang. The three or four thousand people sent by the Japanese army who had just left the city were just used by the enemy to test the sincerity of the Ming army.

Where might Yukinaga Konishi be hiding? Li Rusong called on everyone to express their opinions.

"My lord, in my opinion, in this Pyongyang, the most likely place for Governor Konishi to hide should be Jeongyang Fort." Without waiting for Li Rusong's subordinates to speak, Shi Lang, who was standing beside Luo Shiyin, spoke.

"Master Shi, let's talk about it." Li Rusong motioned to Shi Lang to talk about his basis.

Shi Lang told everyone about the situation in Zhengyang Fort that he had discovered when he first entered the city to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

"Don't hesitate, send troops to Zhengyang Fort!" After listening to Shi Lang's introduction, Li Rusong immediately ordered.
