"What's going on? How could there be cannon fire outside? "Inside the castle of Kyoto, Yasuaki Tokugawa heard the 'rumbling' of cannons outside the castle and immediately sat up in shock.

"Report!" At this time, a soldier broke in and replied breathlessly: "General Qiyu, Zhou people...... Zhou people called! ”

"What did you say?" Tokugawa Yasuaki's eyes were full of disbelief, "It's so decent, why did the Zhou people call over?" ”

"I don't know if I am lowly!" The soldier said, "Today, I was in charge of patrolling the dock outside the city, and found that there were no less than hundreds of warships on the sea, with dragon flags flying on them, I think it must be the army of the Zhou Dynasty!" ”

"Report!"

Here, before Tokugawa Yasuaki could fully react, another soldier broke in, "General Qiyu, the army of the Zhou Dynasty has shelled the dock, and now it has landed and is heading for Kyoto City!" ”

Not daring to hesitate any longer, Tokugawa Yasuaki hurriedly ordered: "You immediately go to the barracks with the old man's order, mobilize the army and others to guard the city wall, and the old man will go later!" ”

"Obedience!"

Tokugawa Yasuaki couldn't figure it out, how could it be so good that the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty came over?

"Could it be? Could it be because of the burning of the Great Zhou Navy warship last year? ”

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Yasuaki finally figured it out.

Not daring to slack off a little, Tokugawa Yasuaki put on his armor and went out to the city gate.

When Tokugawa Yasuaki climbed the city wall, he saw that the Great Zhou army had reached the outside of the city. However, seeing that the size of the Great Zhou army was less than 10,000 people, Tokugawa Yasuaki breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the army sent by the Great Zhou is not too many!" ”

At sea, the Great Zhou has the advantage of warships, and it is understandable that Fusang is not the opponent of the Great Zhou. But on land, Tokugawa Yasuaki did not think that Da Zhou's army, which was less than 10,000 people, could defeat him.

After all, there were no less than 50,000 soldiers in Kyoto City, and if he issued another Qinwang order, he was afraid that within a few days, no less than 100,000 troops would be gathered inside and outside Kyoto City.

With an army of less than 10,000 people in Da Zhou, if you want to fight against Fusang's 100,000 army, I am afraid that it is a fool's dream.

But thinking of the strength of the Great Zhou, Tokugawa Yasuaki did not dare to really do anything to the Great Zhou, after all, if the Great Zhou army was defeated this time, the Great Zhou Emperor would definitely send more troops to crusade against Fusang.

At that time, what should Fuso do?

Yasuaki Tokugawa is not the only one who thinks so, but the Fuso soldiers in the entire Kyoto Castle think so.

In the perception of the people of Fuso, the Great Zhou is simply an unshakable behemoth, and they do not think that Fusang can resist the all-out attack of the Great Zhou.

There are reasons for the national strength, but more because the Fusang people have an inferiority complex, and they feel that they are far inferior to the Zhou people.

Just like in the Korean battle during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, at the beginning of the war, the military department sent a small hooligan from the capital to North Korea, and played Fusang up and down, thus winning time for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty's army.

The Great Zhou in this life is much stronger than the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, so it is not strange that Fusang is afraid of the Great Zhou Bingfeng.

Now that the Great Zhou army is approaching the city, Tokugawa Yasuaki only hopes to be able to sit down with the Great Zhou generals and have a good talk, so as to obtain the forgiveness of the Great Zhou.

Of course, the premise is that the army of the Great Zhou does not attack like Kyoto Castle.

If it really comes to that point, Tokugawa Yasuaki just doesn't want to fight back, but I'm afraid it won't work, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before he is swept away.

Tokugawa Yasuaki understood this, and Han Liang, the commander-in-chief of the Great Zhou Imperial Navy, also understood this.

Before leaving, Han Liang had already been instructed by Zhang Lingyang to solve the matter of Fusang at the lowest cost.

When he was less than five hundred paces away from Kyoto City, Han Liang ordered the army to stop advancing.

"General, the brothers have all the artillery ready, do you want to put a few cannons in Kyoto City?" The commander of the Second Fleet under his command suggested.

"Not yet!" Han Liang waved his hand and said, "Send a herald over, and say that General Ben wants to talk to Tokugawa Yasuaki outside Kyoto City!" ”

"Yes, the last will be ordered!" Although he didn't understand what Han Liang meant, the military order was difficult to disobey, and the commander of the Second Fleet still obeyed Han Liang's order and sent a pawn forward.

The pawn came to the city less than twenty paces and shouted towards the city wall: "My general has an order, please ask your Tokugawa Yasuaki of Fuso to come out and talk about it!" ”

"What is this person talking about?" On the city wall, the Fuso soldiers guarding the city wall could not understand Chinese, and they all looked at Tokugawa Yasuaki at the castle tower in confusion.

Tokugawa Yasuaki understands Chinese, so he naturally understands the meaning of the words of the pawns outside the city.

Not only did Tokugawa Yasuaki himself understand, but several subordinates around him also understood the meaning of his words, so they stepped forward one after another to persuade: "The general must not, in case you are detained by the Zhou people, it will be a big deal!" ”

"Probably not!" Tokugawa Yasuaki shook his head and said, "The Zhou people have always been the most faithful, and they will definitely not regret what they say."

Besides, this time the Zhou people are famous, if I don't go, it seems that I will lose money, if it is spread, those local names, I am afraid that they will oppose me even more! ”

Ignoring the persuasion of his subordinates, Tokugawa Yasuaki went down the castle tower, ordered his soldiers to open the city gate, and walked out of the castle alone.

"This Tokugawa Yasuaki still has a bit of guts!" Seeing Tokugawa Yasuaki walking out of the city gate alone, Han Liang still admired it a little in his heart.

"The old man is going to meet this Tokugawa Yasuaki!" Han Liang rode to a position a hundred paces away in front of the army and stopped, and when Tokugawa Yasuaki came to the front, he said: "General Tokugawa, you must already know the purpose of this coming!" ”

"This old man naturally knows!"

"Then why has it been so long, and I don't see you Fusang sending someone to my Da Zhou to ask for guilt?" Han Liang's eyes narrowed, staring at Tokugawa Yasumei, "Is it possible, General Tokugawa thinks that I can be bullied?" Or do you not take my Da Zhou in your eyes at all? ”

Hearing this, Tokugawa Yasuaki smiled bitterly, in the final analysis, this was all caused by his own carelessness.

No one thought that more than a year had passed, and Da Zhou would send a large army to take revenge?

But Tokugawa Yasuaki can't take this matter on his head, otherwise, let alone that he can't keep his current position in the shogunate, I'm afraid that after the Great Zhou army retreats, the local daimyo will use this as an excuse to crusade against him.

As soon as his eyes turned, the scheming Tokugawa Yasuaki had an idea in his heart, so he said: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to send someone to ask the Great Zhou Emperor for guilt, but our Emperor His Majesty doesn't agree!" ”

"The Emperor?" Han Ling sneered, "It's really bold, it's been so long, I didn't expect your king to dare to call himself the emperor, isn't he afraid that my Great Zhou's military might not be successful?" ”
