The significance of the head of state is very significant.

Even if it is just a virtual head, its significance is not small.

Killing the Japanese emperor will be a great blow to the hearts and spirit of the Japanese people, as well as their cohesion, and will deal a heavy blow to them.

It can even lose its ability to reunite in a short period of time, making it a truly headless fly.

When the time comes, whether it is Toyotomi Hideji or Tokugawa Ieyasu, they will all become headless flies.

Unless they boldly set themselves up as emperors.

Toyotomi Shuji decided to continue the attack on Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was forced to fight.

In between the battles, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not forget to continue to write to Toyotomi Hideji, trying to explain that he was not lying, the Qin army was close at hand, could land at any time, it was very dangerous, and they needed to work together to resist the threat of the Qin army.

Toyotomi Hideji was actually moved, and he was really worried, but he lacked a reason to convince the generals, and the radicals led by Asano Yukinaga did not want to believe any of Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, which even the moderate Ukita Hideya supported.

Their desire to kill Tokugawa Ieyasu has been a sad wish for more than seven years, and if they can't do it, they will be stuck in their throats, they won't be able to eat and sleep well, and they won't even be able to die.

This is how they wept blood to Toyotomi Shuji.

At this point, if Toyotomi Hideji still dares to suppress them, it is estimated that they really have the possibility of launching a mutiny to control Toyotomi Hideji and then forcibly send troops.

During the Warring States Period, it was very frequent, and there was no need for any reason, the strength of Toyotomi Hideji's lineage was not strong, and if it didn't rely on the strength of the rest of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it would be impossible to confront the Tokugawa clan at all, and maybe even survival would be a problem.

In order to obtain the full power of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it was necessary to eliminate Tokugawa Ieyasu and fulfill the sad wish of the rest of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

So Toyotomi Shuji was obviously very worried in his heart, and he had to give the order to attack.

From April 12 to April 14, the Toyotomi army and the Tokugawa army fought three bloody battles, and each side suffered numerous losses.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious and helpless about Toyotomi Shuji's "stupidity", so he began to secretly discuss a way out with Naomasa Ii.

Don't discuss what to do if you win, but how to save your life first, Tokugawa Ieyasu's habits are also very good.

"I have already arranged for manpower and ships to prepare in advance, and once the Qin State invades, they will immediately take my family and the small ones to march to Ezo by sea."

Tokugawa Ieyasu confessed, which immediately surprised Naomasa Ii.

"The lord is going to Ezo?"

Hokkaido was an undeveloped land of barbarians during the Warring States period, and the population status is not clear, so going to Ezo is a risky thing.

But for Tokugawa Ieyasu now, Ezo is a place where life can be saved.

"Xiao Ruxun must not know the existence of Ezo, even if he knows, he may not know about Ezo, I don't know that I escaped to Ezo, let's go to Ezo first to settle down, and then Xu Tu will move later."

In order to arrange a way back for himself, Tokugawa Ieyasu continued to send people to explore the situation of Ezo Island for seven years, and generally knew the area and basic situation of Ezo Island, knew that there were people living on it, and there were tribal organizations, and there was also a certain amount of force, etc.

He planned to go to Ezo with the elite lineage, and everything else could be abandoned if necessary, so the Red Reserve was originally the elite lineage he was going to take away to save his life, but unfortunately the Red Reserve Team was now less than 1,000 returning from injury, and the horses were also lost a lot, and now they can only make up more than 3,000 war horses when they are full.

Once the incident is sudden, it is not easy to escape.

But it's not impossible.

"Why doesn't the lord think about the way to resist? When the Yuan Kou attacked us, we worked together to repel it, and now that the Qin State is tyrannical and unreasonable, why can't our country resist? Lord, the state of Qin is not invincible. ”

Naomasa Ii suddenly came up with the idea of resistance.

Why didn't Tokugawa Ieyasu think about it?

If you can stick to your homeland, who wants to go to a place like Ezo where you are unfamiliar and frozen?

But that's the reality.

"The strength of the Qin army, you haven't fought them directly, you don't know, but you are loyal to him...... I have fought directly with Xiao Ruxun, and I know how powerful Xiao Ruxun is, if I can't join forces with Toyotomi this time, it is absolutely impossible to resist successfully, and Toyotomi's appearance, you have also seen it. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed deeply, "If you can't do anything, you have to survive no matter what, as long as we live, there is still hope for everything." ”

Ii Naomasa took a deep breath, hugged his fist to Tokugawa Ieyasu and said: "Lord, I made a big mistake before, but the lord forgave me, I have nothing to repay, I am willing to go to the Toyotomi camp and persuade Toyotomi to join forces with me to fight against the Qin army." ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head: "In my opinion, unless they see the Qin army really killing, they will definitely not stop, but if the Qin army kills over, it will be too late, and we should be ready to go to Ezo." ”

"Lord, don't give up lightly until the last moment!"

Naomasa Ii fell to his knees and made a request to Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tokugawa Ieyasu took a deep breath, and he didn't want to give up the good fortune to others, so he nodded: "Then please." ”

Naomasa Ii was overjoyed, but he became determined, and soon left for the Toyotomi camp with a letter from Tokugawa Ieyasu.

However, at this moment, the vanguard of the Qin Army's Middle Route Army from Tsushima Island has completed the landing under the leadership of Luo Shangzhi and is welcoming the landing of the second batch of 5,000 people.

And Luo Shangzhi has received an order from Ma Wei, ordering Luo Shangzhi to gather 10,000 horses and set off, and the spies found out that the main forces of the Toyotomi army and the Tokugawa army are in the decisive battle of Iwami, and the two sides are fighting in full swing, and it is the time when the Great Qin army intervenes in it to wipe out one of the nets.

Luo Shangzhi led the team first, and he followed with the main force, striving to complete his work in Iwami and annihilate the main forces of the Toyotomi army and the Tokugawa army in Iwami, so that even if they pulled up any troops later, they would all be a rabble of strong men, and they would not be the opponents of the elite of Great Qin at all.

Everything will move forward according to the emperor's wishes, the fall of the Japanese country is imminent, but they are still at a loss, and they are still fighting and killing each other in the same room, Ma Wei turned into a cold-blooded predator, intending to kill them all.

Luo Shangzhi was even more excited.

After seven years of guarding in the Wa Kingdom, he returned home twice, Luo Shangzhi also put his good years here in the Wa Kingdom, this battle to destroy the Wa Kingdom, if you can see it with your own eyes and participate in it, it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end, and you can leave here and go home with peace of mind when you end all this.

Appointed to the position of vanguard this time, Luo Shangzhi has decided to do his best to entangle the main force of the Japanese invaders, wait for the army to arrive to gather and annihilate its main force, and finish his work in one battle, completely knocking this war into garbage time in one fell swoop.

On the evening of April 14 in the second year of Longwu, Luo Shangzhi led his army to attack overnight.
