Honda continued to observe the warships, and in the sea outside the crowded harbor, these behemoths were like big buns thrown into a pot like dumplings, and the pot was already very small, and the result was that it became more and more crowded. It made it difficult for him to see the boats in motion.

But in any case, being able to organize such a large fleet was enough to threaten Tokugawa Ieyasu's back road. At least, Kangning still needs to be encircled now, and if he falls directly and simply to Toyotomi Hideyori's side, he will become a powerful guarantee for the other party's logistical supply.

Therefore, Honda Masamun must find a way to keep Kanning in Tokugawa Ieyasu's camp. At the very least, it would be better to keep Corning neutral until their war is over.

But now it seems that Corning's conditions are a little difficult for him.

Honda Masamun turned to face Kangning, and said in an inquiring tone, "You don't seem to agree with General Tokugawa Ieyasu. I now wonder how peace can be guaranteed without tearing down the fortifications of the Toyotomi Hideyori family! ”

Kangning scoffed at her fallacies, and instead said loudly: "Fortifications are precisely the guarantee of peace, but it is General Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has already bared his fangs, that is the biggest obstacle to peace." ”

Everyone present knew that what they said was true. However, in the political and military wrestling, the strong side is the real fact, and the arguments of the weak, even if they are in line with the objective situation, will not become a widely known fact.

Today, however, the situation seems to be slightly different. It is not because the principle of the strong to determine the facts has been changed, but the stubbornness of the most basic principle of human life stems from the strong historical inertia, which is the unchangeable will of human beings.

What has changed is only the form of strength and weakness of the two sides. If Kangning sided with Toyotomi Hideyori, then Tokugawa Ieyasu would lose the strong position he already had.

Honda didn't really want to make concessions, he hadn't seen the true strength of this series of warships. Even though they are an island nation, they are conceptually closer to a continental country, after all, since the Qin Dynasty and even earlier. They are constantly receiving ideas brought by Chinese mainland.

They have not yet realized the importance of the ocean, and even in the current country, seafood is not a widely recognized food.

This is very different from Japan 100 years later, and it can be said that it is basically two different countries.

But this was very advantageous for Corning, who did not know Japan 400 years later, but who now knew about the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century.

As long as you don't go out of the East Asian cultural circle, there won't be too many compatibility problems.

Both the Japanese and North Korea will be his best choice to hoard his strength. But the current situation is that he faces a huge obstacle to his development, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Whatever that guy's heart. What kind of flower intestines are turning? He was the only enemy of Corning in the beginning.

Honda Masasumi and his master, Tokugawa Ieyasu, did not regard the graduate school entrance examination as an enemy they had to deal with, although Tokugawa Ieyasu had already made a plan to eliminate Koning after eliminating Toyotomi Hideyori, but that was because he wanted to reduce the cost of the war. That's why we have to fight for every opportunity to break through. It's hard to say how much he values Corning. Perhaps in his eyes, Corning's men were nothing more than a well-armed rabble.

Therefore, Honda does not want to back down too much here, and he already feels that this negotiation is going to end without a problem. Because Corning offered conditions that he could not afford.

Toyotomi Hideyori, for his part, had to agree to dismantle the defensive offensive on the outskirts of Osaka Castle. But Corning firmly disagreed, because he knew very well that Tokugawa Ieyasu was in peace talks. It was just a delaying tactic, and in the coming year, when the year was too difficult, Tokugawa Ieyasu would inevitably launch a summer offensive.

In the original history, the defeat of Toyotomi Hideyori was marked by the Battle of Osaka Summer.

But now, Toyotomi Hideyori is still Corning's barrier, and this barrier still has a meaning until Corning becomes stronger, so Corning will not allow anyone to tear down the bungalow too easily. The defeat of Toyotomi Hideyori may also be a historical trend, and it is not something that the current weak Kangning can change by himself. However, if the original historical process wants to run smoothly, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Because in front of the wheel of history, there is an extra mantis waving its arms, and the name of this mantis is Corning.

Honda saw Corning's determination to back down. In front of these mysterious warships, it would be irrational for him to make any hasty decisions.

So his final statement was: "Kang Junshi." I need to go back and report to my father-in-law. In the meantime, the war is likely to continue, and I wonder how long Osaka Castle will be able to hold out? Hopefully, we will have the next chance for peace talks. ”

Corning knew what he was saying, if Osaka Castle was conquered in a short period of time, then there would be no need for so-called peace talks. But Corning would never allow that to happen.

Therefore, his statement was also very tough: "If Tokugawa Ieyasu continues to wage war, then there can only be one result, and that is to have to lower his demands for peace talks." As for whether there is a chance for the next peace talks, I can tell you unequivocally that I am waiting for you at the negotiating table, waiting for you to grovel and beg me. ”

Listening to Corning's words, Honda's pure anger had already crept up his cheeks, and even if he was a man of deep city, he could not bear such a provocation.

"Then we'll see you another day." Honda Masamun dropped this sentence and turned away.

Corning, however, made a move that surprised everyone. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates around him: "Take it for me." ”

Honda looked at the soldiers rushing up around him in surprise, and angrily pulled out the katana at his waist.

Chang Gaoyuan screamed in fear, standing in place and trembling helplessly. Ah Cha Bureau was even more bold, she opened her throat and roared to Kang Ning: "The two countries are at war, don't kill them!" Mr. Kang, don't overdo it. ”

But Corning only sneered.

"You and I are not two countries, and we are not at war. Moreover. I'm not going to kill you either. I just don't want your eight parts to waste time on the road. Therefore, please stay with me for a few more days, so that I can get a little into the friendship of the landlords. ”

Honda screamed in pure anger: "You are shameless! ”

Corning turned away, and gave a bright smile in his spare time, revealing two rows of white teeth. Then he said, "I have teeth." ”

At this time, the soldier who rushed to the front had already appeared in front of Honda Masamune. But Honda shook his katana in defiance.

The soldier's wooden barrel was severed by his sharp katana, and the soldiers below hurriedly retreated.

Honda Masashi sneered and said, "Just because of your rabble, you still want to hold me?" It's just wishful thinking. ”

Corning, however, ignored Honda's pure clamour. He just ordered lightly: "Form a formation." ”

After a jumble of footsteps, Honda found that the neat spear heads were lined up in front of him. He looked at the soldiers with vigilant eyes, and whispered to the Ah Cha Bureau behind him: "Madam, if you still want to kill it." There's only one way. ”

Ah Chaju pursed her lips, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from her cuff, which frightened Chang Gaoyuan next to her to scream again, but she said calmly: "General, if you can rush out alive, remember to let Lord Ieyasu avenge me!" ”

Honda Masamun gritted his teeth and rushed out like a mad dog. His target wasn't the soldiers, it was Corning. He knows. Only to capture Corning alive and take it hostage. is the only hope to break out of the encirclement and see Tokugawa Ieyasu.

However, when his katana looked at Canning, a spear was successfully blocked. Rao is Honda Masamune has done his best, but the other party seems to easily defuse his attack.

Honda looked at the man who walked out from behind Corning in surprise. He also saw several fierce generals during the Warring States period. But the only person who can compete with this person is probably only his ancestor Honda Tadashi at that level.

"Who are you? Why are you willing to be Corning's minions? ”

Honda Masashi habitually felt that the person who appeared on Awaji Island should be a Japanese countryman, so he questioned why the other party dared to become Corning's minions. He probably thinks that this person is Sanada Yukimura's second.

But the strong man with a hideous face. But he snorted coldly like Kang Ning, and said in a proud tone: "An Jingsi, a Daizhou flying fox person, is also!" ”

Daizhou Flying Fox, that is not the name of the Wa country. Only then did Honda Masamune understand that this person turned out to be a master that Kangning had found from Daming.

However, An Jingsi is a person, but there is no famous company at all. Anyway, no merchant who went to trade with the Ming Dynasty mentioned this name.

What he didn't know was that An Jingsi was one of the five fierce generals summoned by Kangning when he rescued Boss Huang, and he hadn't been in this world for long, although he had just followed Bai Qi to Koshino not long ago and tried to ambush Uesugi Keikatsu. But because of Suda Nagayoshi's vigilance, their plan eventually went bankrupt, so he didn't seize the opportunity to beat his fame out.

In history, although this person is not known to the world as An Jingsi, the evaluation of him in the history books has "brave and crowned, often riding as a pioneer, and has not been defeated." Words. It can be seen that this person's individual combat ability.

Honda Masamun regarded him as an unknown person, and continued to wield a katana and rushed towards An Jingsi.

Although An Jingsi lived in the late Tang Dynasty, the famous Tang Dynasty Modao has gradually withdrawn from the historical stage. And the sword imitated by the Mo knife is even more unseen.

Yes, he was very interested in the weapons in the hands of the enemy. But when he saw Honda holding the knife with both hands, he knew that the other party would have to do his best, so he didn't dare to take it lightly. Fortunately, holding the knife with both hands greatly weakened the variability of the knife path, which made An Jingsi spend a lot less brains when defending.

In terms of pure comparative strength, Honda Masashi is no match for An Jingsi. When Corning saw this, he turned around and left. In the distance, Yang Yuji even put away the bow and arrow in his hand, originally he wanted to guard against Honda Zhengchun, after all, An Jingsi had never seen the sword technique of the Wa Kingdom, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

An Jingsi didn't waste much energy, and he pushed Honda's pure katana away. Then he swung his spear and stabbed a straight line to the point where Honda was pure.

No matter how cunning Honda was, he no longer had the bravery of Honda's loyalty, and even if he tried to block, the tip of the spear was only a little removed. Even if it is a mistake to say that it is a thousand miles, the distance between the two of them is too close after all.

In the end, Ahn Jingsi's spear head still pierced Honda's shoulder.

Immediately followed by a kick, Honda Masamune flew out like this, and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing such a scene, Ah Cha Bureau really waved the dagger and stabbed it in the heart.

But An Jingsi went one step faster and swung her spear to knock her dagger down. The surrounding soldiers rushed up and tied the three men into rice dumplings.

At this time, Corning had already walked to the hillside in the distance. He turned his head to look at it from a distance, and muttered, "Li Cunxiao, you really didn't disappoint me. ”

A white figure suddenly flashed behind him, and he asked in a low voice, "So, do you want him to support Sanada Maru's defensive battle?" ”

"Hmm. It's time to give him a stage to show. I need another person to go with him, though. It's foolproof. (To be continued.) )
