Chapter 55: The Wisdom of Active Division

Suzuki Hidemoto, the general of the guards who made a "great achievement in the world" and was congratulated by the staff, was very confused in his heart, and he didn't even know how to respond to those voices of envy and jealousy.

A few hours earlier, he had fought with Ieka and had painstakingly killed the last of the Shimazu family's dead, only to watch as the enemy general fled into a small castle and closed its gates.

It's just a little bit of time, and it's a failure.

Although there were many soldiers around, they all came lightly, and they couldn't help the half-wood and half-stone walls at all.

At that moment, Suzuki Hidemoto was very regretful, angry and annoyed, regardless of the danger of being sniped, he rode his horse to the city dozens of steps away, pointed to the door and scolded angrily: "Now who doesn't know that the inner government of the flat hand swept the five and seven roads, and with the hope of the people, he is the lord of the destiny of heaven. If you can know the current affairs, know the destiny of heaven, turn against the armor, and surrender with courtesy, you will still not lose the seal of ten thousand stones. If you resist stubbornly and do not repent, you will be burned to the city and exterminated! ”

You can't beat it, you can't beat it, first get over the addiction on your tongue.

Over the years, Suzuki Hidemoto has been holding the position of pro-guard Zhongli, acting from General Bei to Fuzheng, and then promoted to cavalry to assist, and finally became a powerful general of Zheng'er Bajing, knowing 1,600 stones, commanding 500 cavalry, and he can't say what feats he has made. The skills have not risen, only this high-sounding, referring to the deer as a horse's level of speech, can be called a leap and bound. This is the way of "close to Zhu Zhechi".

Who would have thought that a few years ago he was a semi-illiterate man who couldn't even read a few Chinese characters?

Of course, no matter how eloquence rises, I don't expect a single word to make people surrender and surrender without a fight.

Baixiang Jiajia has always been a warrior who is quiet and only knows how to fight pragmatically, and quietly waited for Suzuki Hidemoto to express his anger, and was dejected and ready to go back to his life.

But I saw—

There was a hearty smile from the city, and the gate suddenly slowly opened, and a military general dressed in black armor suddenly came out, calmly and loudly: "The contemptible people have long known that the inner mansion of the Ping Shou is powerful and unstoppable, but it is difficult to convince the elder brother, and he can't go to the audience!" There is only one person left today, and since I know that the Lord of the Inner Mansion intends to surrender, I will no longer hesitate, and I will take the two of you to ask for my guilt! ”

If you look closely, it's not Yoshihiro Shimazu, who is it?

Suzuki rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken.

Bai Xiangjia was dumbfounded, staring ahead in disbelief.

First, the whole army retreated, and you were left alone. I only held on for three days, spent so much effort to break through, and finally escaped, and now I threw myself into the net and offered to surrender?

Militaristic master, should it be child's play?

After being stunned for a moment, Suzuki Hidemoto felt strange, and tried his best to make a serious posture of anger and anger, and ordered the left and right riders to dismount, tightly bound Shimazu Yoshihiro in front of him, and escorted him back.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't care at all, honestly and very cooperatively, did not resist at all, and always wore an unpredictable smile expression.

I really want to punch two fists!

However, what did he just say, "Defect and remove the armor, surrender with Lilly, and still not lose the seal of ten thousand stones", you can't slap yourself in the face! Even if you want to fight, you can't be so fast......

And if you think about it carefully, the so-called "Ten Thousand Stone Seal" was completely nonsense at the time, and it was not a promise given by the lord in advance.

That doesn't seem like a good thing!

Although Suzuki Hidemoto walked in front of the five hundred cavalry, showing off his might, the emotions along the way were complicated and weird, and there was no sense of joy.

Bai Xiang Jiajia also frowned and made a bitter face, and he couldn't see any joy in making contributions.

On the contrary, it was Yoshihiro Shimazu, who was tied up and watched, with a very calm and relaxed expression.

I really don't know who won and who lost.

……

Finally arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, and the tie Tsuki Xiu first listened to Suzuki Hidemoto and Bai Xiang Jiajia talk about the before and after, and vaguely understood. Then he asked someone to bring Shimazu Yoshihiro up, ordered to loosen the ties, give a seat, serve tea, and greet him with a smile.

It wasn't until the other party just raised the cup and poured water into his throat that he didn't have time to swallow it, when he suddenly slapped the table and shouted angrily: "What a Shimazu Yoshihiro!" First of all, with one or two thousand outnumbered soldiers, he broke through from my army of 60,000 to show his bravery. And then immediately surrendered to protect themselves, won't you take advantage of this advantage? I used to hear that the Satsuma people were upright and tough and didn't know how to turn around, but today I know that the rumors are not true! ”

"Ahem......" Shimazu Yoshihiro was defenseless, he was startled, he choked on the tea and coughed repeatedly, and his tears couldn't help but come out, embarrassed.

The momentum weakened all of a sudden.

It is estimated that he could never have imagined that the dignified and peaceful inner government would actually use this kind of child's trick to engage in "secret calculations". When I was a child, Lingtang didn't teach me that it would be okay to be funny when others drank water, would something happen?

Originally, I thought it would be a drama of "heroes cherish each other, and God has been friends for a long time"!

It's a pity that I dare not speak out.

I could only lower my eyebrows and smile and say: "The inner government is serious, and the words are serious...... Ahem...... We Satsuma people really don't have much to think about...... Cough...... I don't understand what you mean......"

"Don't understand?" Pingshou Fan Xiu sneered, and did not intend to let it go, and asked: "Then let's hear it, why did you suddenly retreat when you were facing off on both sides of the Kuma River that day?" Didn't he already think of a plan to break through the siege and establish his power? I really succeeded in playing it, but it was also amazing, and I was speechless, so I could only attribute it to my own lack of means. ”

"You're laughing, you're laughing!" Shimazu Yoshihiro listened to this strange compliment, and instead of smiling, he was sweating profusely, acting in sincere fear, and bowed down and said: "Tell the Lord of the Inner House, my family's army suddenly retreated that day, and the contemptible people left Jicheng alone, it was really an accident, it was definitely not a premeditation!" ”

"Really?" Pingshou Fan Xiu obviously didn't believe it, shook his head and asked again: "How is it an accident method?" Tell me about it. ”

"That's the ......" Shimazu Yoshihiro closed his eyes and showed a sad look, and lamented: "At that time, we confronted the army of the inner government in the Kuma River, and we already felt very weak, and I heard that people were attacked everywhere behind the back, and I was completely panicked, and when discussing the military situation, the four brothers could not reach an agreement, and it was difficult to convince each other, and the result was really uncompatible, so they simply broke it up and parted ways!" ”

"Hehe......" Pingshou looked at the sky without smiling, and didn't even bother to answer.

"Alas, the contemptible people know that they can't win the trust of the inner government......" Shimazu Yoshihiro took out a piece of paper from his chest with a sad face, and gestured to hand it over.

The retainers from the side took it and presented it.

I saw that it read:

"Now that all the kings insist on their own words, and if they do not obey the order, please raise their own troops, and the wind and clouds will disperse, and the honor and disgrace of life and death in the future will be all up to me, and I will no longer ask - Shimazu repair (Yoshihisa)."

After reading it, he handed it to Hosokawa Fujitaka and Maeda Genyi, and those people distinguished it and bowed their heads slightly, which means that the signatures and drawings are real, not forgery.

So, is it really the four Shimazu brothers who split?

With half-belief and suspicion, Hijo asked again: "Since it is said that you have different opinions, what are your plans?" ”

Yoshihiro Shimazu said: "The eldest brother thinks that he should stick to his hometown of Satsuma and not have to worry about Higo. The contemptible people thought that they had to fight in the Kumagawa Heaven. The third brother believes that it is necessary to solve the internal worries of the liver Fu Ito Yu party first. The fourth brother believes that it is necessary to divide the army into two or even three lines...... In the end, the eldest brother said that he had led the troops back to Satsuma, and the rest felt that there were more important things to do on their own! At first, I thought it was just angry talk, but I didn't expect that the army would leave one night ago, leaving only 2,000 of my people in Renji City, and I was surprised at that time, and I planned to subdue it as soon as possible......"

"In that case, how can you not drop three days ago?" The tie didn't have a good face.

"Because the Lord of the Inner Mansion didn't surrender three days ago!" Shimazu Yoshihiro vomited bitterness aggrievedly: "The contemptible people thought that they were going to be killed, so they made a decisive action to break through the siege in desperation, and fled to Oguchi Castle, only to learn from your retainers that 'defecting to the enemy, surrendering with courtesy, and still not losing the seal of ten thousand stones', there was no hesitation." ”

At this point, the two sides were silent for a while.

Tieshou Tsunoxiu's eyes were like arrows, staring straight at him.

Yoshihiro Shimazu also looked at the past blankly like an uninformed countryman.

After a while, Pingshou Fan Xiu suddenly asked: "A few days ago, I discussed in the army that if your fourth brother's family had been under the tent for a long time, Zhixing would have been twenty or thirty times the current one, have you heard of this?" ”

"I've heard of it." When Shimazu Yoshihiro heard these irrelevant words, his expression suddenly became serious, and he was even a little nervous.

"That's interesting." Hisho Tsunosu smiled, and said meaningfully: "I just made a move to deliberately divide and disintegrate, and Brother Ling cooperated so much and took the initiative to dispel people's hearts, the consciousness of the Shimazu family, haha......"

"......" Shimazu Yoshihiro's mouth moved a few times but he didn't say anything, and then quickly bowed down to hide his expression, and said in a muffled voice: "What my brother's decision means, I can't guess it, I just know that I will report it to Lord Neifu according to the truth!" ”

"Alright, get up!" Hirata Hiratsu waved his hand nonchalantly, thought for a moment and said, "So today, you are only asking for surrender as an individual, not on behalf of the Shimazu family, is that what you mean?" ”

“…… Yes! Shimazu Yoshihiro unconsciously buried his head again, as if he was afraid to show his face, and replied cautiously: "Since my brother has given up his position as a sovereign and given us the power to do what we want, it is natural that the contemptible person cannot represent the others. But I was more than happy to act as an emissary for the inner government, and persuaded the samurai of Satsuma, Hinata, and Osumi to stop resisting. ”

"Hahahaha......" Hiratsu laughed: "The Shimazu family is really interesting." It has survived in southern Kyushu for 500 years, and it really has the wisdom to survive. Well, let me see how you persuade your old colleagues and relatives! ”
