Shimazu Yoshihisa took the letter in his hand and stood in the big tent for a long time, silent, this was yesterday evening.

In fact, he has been wondering why I can analyze the situation so clearly so much in advance, and look like I am strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.

When he first met me on the surface of the sea and heard me say those words, his mentality changed, especially in battle.

Hashiba Hideyoshi allowed himself and Mori Terumoto to form a vanguard together, and there was no reason for him to do so—as the ruler of Kyushu, the Shimazu family had always had an ambiguous relationship with the Mori family above him.

Especially under the joint efforts of Yoshikawa Motoharu and Mori Kobayakawa, the "Maori two rivers", the Maori family is thriving, and the power is tightly oppressing the Shimazu family! As the head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshihisa is naturally fully vigilant against the Maori family, who has been friends with God for a long time, and has never relaxed his vigilance.

Although Maori Huiyuan, as a nephew, is far inferior to his two uncles, "Maori Liangchuan", he is still a smart person. Hideyoshi Hashiba arranged this way to let the Shimazu family and the Maori family compete with each other and guard against each other, which is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone!

Originally, Yoshihisa Shimazu was going to paddle as much as he could, but after meeting me, he changed his mind. Especially last night, when he received a letter from the Ninja Secret, he knew that the time had come!

The location of the Shimazu family was north-east of Uiju Castle, and Mori Terumoto was north-east, and the camps of the two sides were separated by ten miles. It is believed that the Shibata army in the south will definitely move, and it will definitely reach the south of Uiju tonight!

What is he going to do? What is the goal? Shimazu Yoshihisa held the letter in his hand and thought for a long time. The reason why Hideyoshi Hashiba was able to tolerate his lack of work in front was to lure the Shibata family to attack, but he never succeeded.

Why did he succeed? What does he want out of it? If you want the Hashiba family and the Shibata family to lose, then why tell yourself?

Is it really because of friendship?

Shimazu Yoshihisa was puzzled, he didn't believe that there was real friendship in this world - of course, it meant in a hostile state of war, but Sun Qilan clearly sent a letter to tell him that tonight the Shibata family would go north to Yizhou, so that he could act at the opportunity!

Confused, depressed, and even a little irritated! What kind of intelligence is this? What does he want to let himself do?

Shimazu Yoshihisa walked around the big tent a few times, and he was really angry and panicked, so he paced to the door.

The early winter evenings are really cold, and the ghost of Goryeo is especially difficult. With his hands behind his back, he circled around the mound in front of the tent and sat down on a gentle slope in the sun.

Something seems to be moving on the ground not far away! The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of those little things very long, and when you looked closely, it was two groundhogs snatching a round thing.

Is it a hazelnut? Or something else? Who knows, these hibernating little things seem to have woken up hungry and ran out to find food, and they ended up fighting together.

After fighting for a long time, the hazelnuts fell to the side, and the two marmots were still wrestling, and suddenly the two guys came to their senses together and ran towards the round thing! As a result, the two groundhogs ran too fast and collided together, and Gollum rolled to the side!

After getting up, they stared at each other vigilantly, and bared their teeth at each other, but no one dared to take a step closer to the hazelnut - because the wounds on their bodies were bleeding, and if they fought again for a hazelnut, they were afraid that if they could grab it, they would be seriously injured.

At that moment, something flew in the air, poking straight towards the hazelnut! Fly to the front, take it in your mouth, don't ink, flutter and flapp your wings and fly away!

That's a lark!

The two groundhogs watched as the damned thief stole the food that should have belonged to them, and they were furious! I want to catch up, but I really don't have the ability to catch a bird!

The stomach is full of fire, and I can only vent it to the hateful guy next to me! If it hadn't been snatched, it would have been taken away a long time ago!

Another scuffle.

The battle between the marmots was as small as a gust of wind, and nothing could be brought up, but in Shimazu Yoshihisa's heart, it caused a monstrous wave!

He got it! I understand what Sun Qilan is going to do!

He wants the Yushiba family and the Shibata family to bleed together, but he doesn't want one side to die! He's going to bleed slowly until he's weak both!

The Yuchai family and the Shibata family are the two marmots, and the Ming represented by Sun Qilan is the lark!

He sent the letter to himself because he was sure that he could guess his mind. And he didn't say it clearly, but he was afraid that if he said it, he would think that he was pretending to be suspicious!

It must be so! Definitely! Absolutely!

Thinking of this, Shimazu Yoshihisa did not hesitate any longer, and quickly gathered his retainers, including his younger brother Shimazu Iehisa, and arranged a plan for the evening!

......

As night fell, the soldiers of the Shimazu and Mori families went to the castle of Uiju to make an attacking stance, and the castle responded as usual. The two parties are like old husbands and wives who have been married for 20 years, rolling the sheets is fulfilling their obligations, everything is very familiar, and it can even be said that it is not shocking.

However, the Maori family discovered an unusual phenomenon - according to past experience, the attacks of the two sides would continue until dawn even if they were pretentious, but today was different, the Shimazu family's team withdrew after half of the battle!

Yes, withdrew without warning!

The military general in front immediately told Maori Teruyuan about the situation, and Maori Terugen was also secretly frightened and realized that something would happen. So he sent someone to contact the spy hiding inside the Shimazu family, wanting to find out the reason, and at the same time let someone tell the siege team in front to withdraw as soon as possible, don't perform there alone!

On the second watch day, the spies got the news from the Shimazu family, they are preparing to attack the city with all their strength tomorrow, so tonight they will completely gather people and recuperate!

Why did you suddenly decide to go all out to siege the city? Isn't this everyone acting tacitly? Maori Huiyuan's heart was full of doubts, could it be Yuchai...... What does it mean? So why didn't he tell himself the same and Shimazu Yoshihisa alone?

Could it be that the tide of battle is about to change dramatically, and what great impact will this siege war bring? But...... But shouldn't the Mori family, as a nominal subordinate of the Hashiba family and a de facto ally, be more trusted than the Shimazu family, who joined halfway?

Mori Terumoto pondered, but couldn't get the answer he wanted. He secretly hated himself, if his uncle Kobayakawa Takashi was here, he would definitely be able to see through the front and back!

Suddenly, he remembered what his grandfather Maori Moto had warned him when he was a child - your intelligence is indeed inferior to others, and if you feel lost about the road ahead one day, then imitation is your best choice.

Yes, imitation! Maori Teruyuan's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he called his generals and ordered the whole army to prepare for battle and be ready to attack the city with all its strength at any time!

Needless to say, in the middle of the night, Shibata Katsuie's vanguard led by the one-eyed dragon Date Masamune had arrived south of Uiju Castle, ready to launch a surprise attack.

Yesterday morning, Shibata Katsuya suddenly sent someone to send superstition, urging him to hurry up and march into the army, and see what news he had probably received, so he was in a hurry to take Yizhou City!

Although the teams of the Uesugi and Takeda families did not keep up due to their location, the strength of the Date family alone is enough to surprise and occupy Euiju Castle before the competitors find out!

As the leading military commander in the Ou region, Date Masamune has this confidence.

But when it came to the last buffer point south of Uiju City, the situation changed abruptly!

Gunshot! Date Masamune's team was shot from the north! They seemed to know their location, and all kinds of firearms were splashed in their direction! Many soldiers were unable to react and fell to the ground in the first round of attacks!

Date Masamune, who is as hot as fire, naturally won't swallow this breath, and immediately organize his iron artillery team to start firing back! The ballistics intertwined between the north and the south paint a picture of a cruel harvest, which is staged not far from the city of Uiju!

Immediately afterwards, the archers from Goryeo began to shoot in the direction of Date Masamune according to the order - that is, Park Sam-young and their archer troops, and for a while Date Masamune's troops began to be attacked from both sides, and the situation was very critical!

It was the iron gunners of the Shimazu family who opened fire on Date Masamune, and together with the original enemies, the Goryeo, they dealt a blow to the vanguard of the Shibata army, the real enemy, under the design of the well-intentioned people!

Yes, this is the tacit understanding of Dongying and Gaoli people to join forces to flank Dongying people! It sounds strange, but in the face of huge interests, the so-called distinction between domestic and foreign countries does not matter at all!

Originally, Gao Liren, the real enemy of the Dongying people, had become a dispensable ornament at this time, because the Dongying people were infighting!

At this moment, another musket team behind Gao Liren also began to shoot, also speaking the language of Dongying. However, in fact, it was a real basin of dirty water - this team belonged to Li Chengliang, and the reason why he did it was completely the idea I gave him before!

I will have the ninja team go to the Shibata family's sphere of influence to spread rumors that the emperor has secretly issued a holy decree to Hashiba Hideyoshi, as long as he takes the city of Uiju and let Goryeo destroy the country, he will be named Guanbai!

Dongying Warring States, so many daimyo fought to the death, and the ultimate goal of the plan is this Guan Bai position! In other words, it is equivalent to the current prime minister, but the actual power is a hundred or a thousand times greater than that of the prime minister!

In line with the attitude of preferring to believe what he has and not believing what he doesn't, Shibata Katsuya is anxious to send troops to snatch Yizhou City, even if it can't be taken directly, at least it can't be taken by the guys of the Yuchai family!

And I secretly informed Shimazu Yoshihisa and asked him to take the initiative to provoke a war with the vanguard of the Shibata family, and I would ask the Koreans to help him, coupled with Li Chengliang's flank attack, the only way left for Date Masamune to survive was to charge in the direction of the weaker firepower! Retreating at this time can only be wishful thinking!

As a result, the plot began to develop in the direction I expected - Date Masamune, who had no hope of retreating and seemed to be surrounded on three sides, chose to storm the enemy! This is also the best and only way at this time. Since there seemed to be only one enemy team in the north and two in the west - in fact, there were two in the west and two in the north, but the Maori family did not fire, so in the darkness, they were invisible!

Date Masamune chose to charge due north, which was the direction of Mori Terumoto—and that's what I wanted him to do—so their enemy became a stunned Mori Terumoto!

As soon as the white-knuckle battle began, it was out of control. The Maori family and the Date family were both warriors, and the battle was not without tragedy.

Li Chengliang and Shimazu Yoshihisa were silently behind their backs, rubbing oil with muskets and archers.

As for the Koreans, hmph, they have been forgotten......

The chaos lasted until dawn, and the Maori and Date families suffered heavy losses, and the battle had to end early, and each withdrew its troops.

The Shimazu family is behind the scenes, and they have gained a lot, and they are secretly happy, needless to mention, after dawn, they also pretend to have a posture that they don't know why, which makes Mori Terumoto, who fought a nonsensical battle in the middle of the night, angry, but quite speechless.

And Li Chengliang's troops had disappeared before dawn, and as for where they went, only the pig teammates Goryeo knew.

Later, when Lakshin learned about the war, he asked me, "Sir, what if Date Masamune did not attack Mori Terumoto, but attacked Goritin?" ”

I glanced at him and smiled silently, without words. He asked again, and I asked, "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

Rakshen thought for a while, looked at the cannon that was unloaded from the ship and was about to be given to Li Chengliang, and suddenly said half a sentence: "Could it be that you are preparing to ...... with the Koreans?"

I looked at him and didn't say anything. Lakshin also regained his quiet. He smiled the same and didn't make a sound.

There are some things that you might as well not say them too clearly......
