"Then how should I explain it to Taige? A few days ago, Taiko also wrote to ask about the news of President Konishi and Kato Kiyomasa, these two are both Taiko's cronies, what will Taiko think if he can't ask about their news? And what are we going to do?! ”

Regarding Ishida Mitsunari's statement, Masuda Nagamori questioned it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"That's what we're going to think about! All in all, we can't let Taige know the real situation now, once Taige knows, according to Taige's temperament, do you think he will send additional reinforcements or even personally go to North Korea? If he comes, what shall we provide? With another 100,000 troops, will we have enough food to eat? And we don't even know how many Ming troops there are on the other side! And also lost three battles in a row, losing half of the DPRK, what do you want us to do?! ”

"No! We must not let Taiko bring reserves to Korea, then Japan will be finished! ”

Kato Kotai frowned and said: "The Daimyo of the Eastern Kingdom nominally surrendered a lot, but in fact they surrendered very little, once the Taiko overpressed them, they would definitely be dissatisfied!" That Tokugawa guy must be the first one to object! At that time, if North Korea is not chaotic, the country will be chaotic, and if the country is in chaos, what will we eat? We're going to starve to death here!

These days, we should also know that the Koreans are poor, there is not much food to supply us with food, our own food is only enough to eat, and now there are two less legions, and our pressure has been reduced a lot, in contrast, the Ming army has moved here, and the delay in launching an attack should be the reason why the food has not yet been in place.

Once the food of the Ming army is in place, it will definitely launch an attack immediately, we must strengthen the defense line during this time, hold it for as long as we can, consume the food of the Ming army, as long as we can support enough time, even if we pay some more troops, and consume the Ming army's grain stockpile, we will be able to achieve a phased victory, we can pretend to sue for peace, negotiate peace, and gain time, all kinds of methods can be used, anyway, Seoul must not be lost, otherwise we will return to Busan! ”

"That's right! I support Kato's opinion! Jeolla Province and Yi Sunsin's sailors are threatening us, if we lose Seoul and can only retreat to Pusan, then there is no point in us expending so many troops and sacrifices to attack Korea, it is better to withdraw our troops immediately! That would keep us alive! ”

"That's right!"

"Agreed."

"That's it, right?"

Ukita Hideya saw that a group of elders agreed, and he naturally had no better way, so he was as good as a stream, but there was a thorn buried in his heart - Xiao Ruxun, the chief general of the Ming army on the other side, heard that he was only twenty-three years old, three years older than himself, but he was already the chief general of the Ming army, and led the whole army to fight three big victories in a row, defeating the Japanese army with him as the nominal commander, which made him feel very shameless.

If the other party is thirty or forty, the Ukita Hideya family will not have any ideas, but the other party is only twenty-three, not much older than himself, at the same age, he will be the nominal commander, and Xiao Ruxun is the actual commander, he defeats the battle, Xiao Ruxun wins the battle, why is the gap so big? Am I not as good as Xiao Ruxun?

Such a thought could not be eliminated from the beginning, and the thought in the heart of Ukita Hideya became more and more vigorous, and it was almost impossible to suppress.

Tomorrow, when the two sides confronted each other across the Imjin River, the Ming Dynasty finally got the battle report sent by Song Yingchang from Liaodong, which detailed a series of things that Xiao Ruxun did after arriving in Liaodong, and at this time everyone knew why Xiao Ruxun delayed until October 30, the twentieth year of Wanli, to lead the troops to fight.

In the early days of Xiao Ruxun's arrival in North Korea, he found that the situation in North Korea was so chaotic that it was simply unbearable, the roads were broken, the military stations and post stations were deserted, and it was impossible to pass the army and save grain and grass, and the North Koreans actually lied that the grain could be used for the army for half a year, and that Pyongyang Kaesong still had a large amount of food for the army to eat, and tried every means to force the army to march.

As a result, Xiao Ruxun found out that the food available to the Koreans could only support the army for a month at most, and as a last resort, Song Yingchang transferred 80,000 stone of grain from the interior as support.

Then Xiao Ruxun waited for people to cross the river to North Korea for field investigation, was furious, and instructed North Korean officials to lead people to build roads and build post stations, save food along the way, and swore that they would never send troops until the road was repaired.

Until October 30, when Xiao Ruxun sent troops, the North Koreans still had one-fifth of the road surface not repaired, it was Xiao Ruxun who led people all the way to repair, and barely repaired the road, which led to the victory of Pyongyang and the subsequent victory of the Yiju ambush, just imagine, if the road is muddy and unbearable, not to mention that the army can't pass, the North Koreans' grain transport team can't get through, at that time, the army will have to fight hungry, not only with a lot of consumption, but also with a lot of losses, and it may not be able to win!

Now Xiao Ruxun won two major battles in a row, destroyed the two Japanese legions, annihilated more than 36,000 enemies in total, beheaded more than 6,000 levels, captured two of the opponent's main generals, overcame Pyongyang to recover the two roads, and did his best in one battle, and is now preparing to capture Kaesong and confront the Japanese across the Linjin River, as long as Kaicheng is restored, then half of North Korea will be recovered, Xiao Ruxun really has the style of a famous general in ancient times, Song Yingchang suggested that the imperial court reward Xiao Ruxun and reward the army.

Such a brilliant record made many officials, including those who opposed Xiao Ruxun and supported Li Rusong, shut up instantly.

Originally, according to the fine tradition of being unreasonable and unreasonable, the task of the speech official is to spray, the more ruthless the spray, the higher the status, the greater the official position, and he is not afraid of being beaten and killed.

But such a hard feat, or a hard feat, they can't find a reason to spray, which makes them very unhappy, and they face this merit with the attitude of picking bones in the egg, but they can't find a place to spray, of course, they don't know, there is a place that can be sprayed, and they can even let Xiao Ruxun die.

However, Song Yingchang and Liu Huangsheng, who were separated from the literati group, cherished talents and played a hand to transfer flowers and trees, saving Xiao Ruxun's life, and Xiao Ruxun himself also had a second plan, taking the path of Jinyiwei and privately giving the emperor a secret recital, and now the recital that is enough to kill Xiao Ruxun is in Zhu Yijun's hands.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret fold sent to Your Majesty by Xiao Pingyu through the secret line of the Jinyi Guard."

Zhu Yijun took the secret music, opened it, looked at it carefully, and after watching it for a long time, Zhu Yijun looked up to the sky and sighed: "The dynasty treats civil officials well and uses literature to unify the military, but in the end, it is a military general who understands the meaning best." ”

Zhu Yijun closed the secret fold, stared at Luo Sigong and asked, "No one knows about this secret fold except you, right?" ”

Luo Sigong nodded: "Except for His Majesty and the ministers, no one has known about this secret fold. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, paused, and said: "If these bastards know, I will not just lose a good general, Zhang Cheng, haven't you always complained to me about the inconvenience of being constrained everywhere?" I'm going to get you helped. ”

Zhang Cheng asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about?" ”

"Look at this." Zhu Yijun handed the fold in his hand to Zhang Cheng: "I allow you to see it." ”

"The old slave obeys." Zhang Cheng took the fold with some trembling, opened it and glanced at it, and was shocked.
