Regarding Ishida Mitsunari's statement, Naomasa Ii couldn't agree at all, and shook his head again and again.

"This is not a reason, only the Mongols have officially attacked us, they want submission, not destruction, just like Korea, if the Qin State wants to expand externally as you said, North Korea is the best target, why don't the Qin people attack North Korea?"

"North Korea is a vassal state that has been subjugated since the former Ming Dynasty, and it is extremely respectful to China, after the state of Qin, North Korea is the first country to recognize the suzerainty of Qin, and it also handed over all the seals of the former Ming Dynasty and accepted the seal ribbon of Qin.

Today, the Qin State has attacked Korea, and tomorrow the vassal states will be separated from Germany, China has always preached the royal way, not the hegemony, although Xiao Ruxun is a military general, but he also understands this truth, so he will definitely not attack Korea! ”

"Then why do you say they're going to attack us?"

"Because we didn't surrender!"

Ishida Mitsunari opened his mouth and said: "Although we accepted the conditions of the Qin State, what Japanese king, what is the annual pilgrimage, but both us and the Qin State know that we have not surrendered, we will definitely resist, in order to eliminate this danger, they will definitely send troops to conquer us!" ”

As he spoke, Ishida Mitsunari stared at Naomasa Ii deadly: "Your Excellency, don't forget, the person who personally led troops to land in Japan seven years ago and defeated our department and your department is Xiao Ruxun, and he knows everything about us. ”

Naomasa Ii was a little uneasy by what he said, and his face became more and more solemn.

"But all this is your speculation, it can only be said that there is such a possibility, but it is not necessarily happening, the Qin State sent troops back to China, some went to Zhejiang and Fujian, and some went to Tianjin, all of them have already landed, if they want to make a comeback, why not go to Tsushima Island or Hidden Island?"

"That's right, if they really don't want to make a comeback, in order to keep Tsushima and Oki Island from returning to us?"

Ishida Mitsunari's rhetorical question made Ii Naomasa very stunned, and he was speechless for a moment.

"This ......"

"Maybe they withdrew their troops to go back just to make this scene more realistic, so that we can believe more that they really want to go back, and not deceive us, don't you think this is possible?"

Ishida Mitsunari pressed forward step by step, leaving Ii Naomasa speechless.

In a panic, Naomasa Iii suddenly realized Ishida Mitsunari's biggest weakness.

Ishida Mitsusei saw that Naomasa Iii, who had a twinkling look in his eyes, became calm.

"Having said so much, your statement is indeed very demagogic, but isn't everything you say just speculation? Everything you say is not proven by real intelligence, there is no real source, this is your speculation.

The state of Qin has only been two years, the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil before and after the founding of the country, it is not rich, and after the founding of the country, it is a war in Liaodong and a war in the southwest, and the money and food in the hands have long been consumed, and the Qin State is going to launch a third battle at this time, do you think it is possible? ”

Ishida Mitsunari was stunned for a moment, and he didn't say what he wanted to say.

Indeed, this is the biggest loophole in his speculation and that of the Maeda Toshiie.

Qin's ability to wage war.

Fighting a war is not a good game, especially an offensive operation, that is, it is burning money, not only money, but also food, military supplies, and human lives.

Qin has been away for two years, and has already fought two major wars, the second of which is a war of more than 100,000 people, in this case, does Qin still have the extra national strength to launch a third war?

"Maybe the Qin State withdrew its troops and left Iwami because they couldn't afford to supply the consumption of 20,000 people here, so they withdrew, isn't this a very possible thing?"

Naomasa Ii began to launch a counterattack.

Ishida Mitsunari didn't have the words to refute.

Qin's national strength is indeed a mystery, and none of them know how much of Qin's national strength can be used for war.

But Qin Guoguo is late and has a thin family foundation, that's for sure.

Ishida Mitsunari used this kind of words to talk to Ii Naomasa, and it was simply unreasonable to use this as a bargaining weight, and Ishida Naomasa quickly reacted and refuted it, and now, Ishida Mitsunari knew that he could not convince Ii Naomasa like this.

Without clear signs of danger, an alliance between the two is simply impossible.

But Ishida Mitsunari couldn't let go of that suspicion.

"At least, it's a possibility."

Ishida Mitsunari emphasized.

"It's just a possibility."

Naomasa Ii also emphasized.

"Then, Your Excellency should know that many of the generals under my lord's command have a blood feud with His Excellency Tokugawa, this time the Qin State returned the Iwami Silver Mine, and a large number of generals asked to attack immediately, but it was our lord who forcibly blocked it, and if the Tokugawa clan wanted to occupy all the Iwami Silver Mine, war was inevitable.

But if it is peacetime, I won't talk about this, just go to war, but the movements of the Qin State are really weird, I can't believe that they don't have any plans, I hope Your Excellency can do some considerations, let's talk about the problem of Iwami Yinshan, at least, don't let the war happen so quickly. ”

Ishida Mitsunari took a step back, but it made Ii Naomasa sneer.

"If you don't pay anything, you want to share the interests of Yinshan with my lord, Your Excellency is too naïve, if it's just these, Your Excellency can go back, we have nothing to talk about, if you want to fight, you will fight."

Naomasa Ii's attitude hardened.

This made Ishida Mitsunari very distressed.

"Would Your Excellency be willing to see the Qin State take advantage of the bloody battle between our two sides?"

"At least I'm not sure to persuade the lord to take the initiative to cede some of Iwami Ginzan's interests without any warning, in that case, our generals will also be very dissatisfied."

Naomasa Iii's attitude was clear, and Ishida Mitsunari felt that his mission might be difficult to achieve.

But Naomasa Ii is right, how can he convince others when nothing is all speculation?

Many people only believe in their own eyes, not even their eyes, only believe in what they want to believe, and do not face reality until they die.

What a foolish man......

However, Ishida Mitsunari had no way to change this outcome, and Ii Naomasa was reluctant to talk about it anymore, saying that if he talked again, unless there was real intelligence and sources, it would be better to bring troops.

His attitude was so tough, apparently with the support of Tokugawa Ieyasu behind his back.

Empty gloves white wolf? Is it possible?

Impossible.

As a result, the negotiations ended without a hitch.

Ishida Mitsunari had to return empty-handed, which was met with cynicism from Yukinaga Asano.

"What's the use of a mouth? At a critical time, it still depends on the steel knife in our hands! If he doesn't give it, we'll rob it! ”

Yukinaga Asano seems to have made up his mind to go to war.

Ishida Sannari was shocked and immediately stopped: "No, you can't take the initiative to attack without His Highness's order!" ”

Yukinaga Asano sneered, waved his hand, and immediately more than a dozen samurai appeared and captured Ishida Mitsunari's subordinates and Ishida Mitsunari together.

"You can't take the initiative to attack! You can't provoke a war! Otherwise you are a sinner! You're going to have a caesarean section!! ”

"If I can't take Ishimi, I'll naturally have a disembowelment! You don't need to talk too much! ”

Yukinaga Asano directly put Ishida Mitsunari under house arrest, and then immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

On March 18, Asano Yukinaga ordered the whole army to march early, and after a short rest after breakfast, the whole army marched and launched an attack on Iwami Province, directly ignoring Toyotomi Hideji's orders and Ishida Mitsunari's dissuasion.

The situation is starting to get out of hand.
