The meeting between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Li Chunfang lasted for a long time, and it was not until the evening that there was no sign of its end.

The people who stood aside were already tired and sweating, and most of them secretly admired Tokugawa Ieyasu's concentration and endurance, and they didn't feel tired at this time. You must know that when Tokugawa Ieyasu lived in seclusion in Sunpu Castle, he was very idle all day long, and only occasionally listened to the reports of his subordinates, which was not like this at all.

Thankfully, they weren't going to hold out any longer, and Tokugawa Ieyasu had already begun to tell them about trivial matters. This is just an expression of concern, and it is a necessary means to envelop Li Chunfang. After staying by Tokugawa Ieyasu's side for a long time, people have become accustomed to this kind of trick.

This time, though, they were clearly disappointed. Although, according to Tokugawa Ieyasu's plan, the meeting should have gone on here. But a sudden change changed the original arrangement.

"My lord." Honda Masamune ran in and reported, "There is a man who claims to be a friend of this Mr. Lee, and he has asked to see the lord. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned. He came out today to deal with these affairs, and he was already a little embarrassed by his old body. What's more, there are still extraneous branches, and in addition to the original plan, another uninvited guest has come.

He didn't even know the name of the guest, so he had to look at Li Chunfang with a puzzled look. Of course, Li Chunfang couldn't give him the right answer, and he didn't know who this uninvited guest was? There are many people who can be called friends with him, but most of them are people who are false and wronged with him. There are not many people who can really trust him with life and death, and besides, some people's so-called friends are actually synonymous with enemies.

He didn't know if this man belonged to the latter, but in the dark. He already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't get the answer he wanted from Li Chunfang, but he didn't want to miss this guest who most likely had some relationship with the Ming Dynasty. So, he stopped his tired waist and told Honda to invite the guest in.

When the man walked in. Li Chunfang confirmed the uneasiness in his heart. Sure enough, he brought it in.

After the man finished saluting, he introduced himself: "In Xia Wang Haoxian, I have seen His Excellency the Great Imperial Palace. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't have any influence on this person, but after he saw Li Chunfang's eyes. It is certainly not easy to know the origin of this person.

Of course, this person is still in front of him, so it is inconvenient to ask Li Chunfang directly about his origin. Unless Li Chunfang is a delicate person with a clever mind and can see that he urgently needs to understand the details of the other party, he will risk tearing his face with the other party and explain this person's past.

But judging from Li Chunfang's current performance, my sister doesn't say that she can't show the courage to break her face with the world, even if he can show courage, he is not so clever person. He didn't even realize that Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted him to stand up now and tell him what the man in front of him was. He was just there in a daze now, watching in amazement at how this person could be here.

The reason why Wang Haoxian was able to escape from death. It was because he had already seen through his father's premeditated plan that it would inevitably fail. Father didn't trust Kangning too much, it can be said that Father never believed in him, he just wanted to use this person's ability. Both sides live in lies and use each other. However, Corning's methods were beyond his father's expectations. He really did a fake show, and really got together with Xu Hongru.

After the two people communicate with each other. The strength of both sides has become stronger. Father obviously didn't expect their development rate to reach such a point, so after just a few months, Father ended up in a different place.

Wang Haoxian was very sad about his father's death, but this did not prevent him from fleeing the land of right and wrong in Luanzhou, Hebei Province in advance, and went to Luoyang, Henan Province to plan a mutiny that he was not prepared to succeed.

Sure enough, he also got the results he wanted. Kang Ning rushed to King Fu's Mansion to rescue Zhu Changxun. This made Wang Haoxian easily sneak back to the Hebei region, where there was no longer Kangning's power, and left the Central Plains from the Tianjin area.

Prior to this, almost when there was a fierce battle between the Qian'an Jianchang Camp and the escort team of the Huanglin Group, Wang Haoxian secretly sent someone to follow the escort team, and then he learned that the batch of goods escorted by the escort team finally flowed into the hands of Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu. At that time, in the entire Shandong region, only Kangning was eating some seafood in large quantities. You know, in that famine summer, many people were buying grain from other places and shipping it to Hebei in Shandong last year to make huge profits. These people all gave up the transportation of seafood, even the two families of Confucius and Mengfuzi.

As a result, the powerful escort team, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, and Kang Ning were connected by him. Although he didn't know what the stakes were between the three, they must have common interests to come together. Each other also has the resources that the other wants.

In this way, planning a mutiny in the mansion of King Fu Zhu Changxun will definitely be able to attract the forces of Kang Ning and the escort force to this side.

It is based on this idea that he successfully escaped from the Central Plains, although there is still a long way to go in his logical reasoning drama, for example, Boss Huang and Fuwang Zhu Changxun don't know each other at all. Regarding Kangning's alliance, there is only Fu Wang Zhu Changxun and him, and nothing has been involved in Boss Huang during this period.

But Wang Haoxian still succeeded in getting out of danger by mistake.

He is not a person who has no place to take refuge, and when he was engaged in wind and rain in Beizhili before, he was targeted by an ambitious force. Later, the two sides finally got in touch after many rounds and slowly established an alliance.

And this time, their nest was wiped out by Corning's gang. He could only take refuge in this former ally.

Thankfully, the ally is open to all kinds of talent. Even a god leader like him was used there, and this time he came to the Wa Kingdom at the behest of his ally to negotiate some trade matters with Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"Prince Wang, please take a seat." Tokugawa Ieyasu did not see in her a polite temperament, but a gentlemanly look, so he was not ready to take care of him with Mr. as a regular man, but only called him Gongzi. In fact, this title is also in line with his identity.

Wang Haoxian didn't seem to notice this, he just saw the tiredness on Tokugawa Ieyasu's facial expression, and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, the general's meeting has been going on for a long time, and since the traffic police are tired, then I will tell the purpose of my visit straight to the point, so that the general can go to rest early." ”

When Tokugawa Ieyasu heard this, he laughed. This is a kind of intimacy unique to the children of gentlemen, but Tokugawa Ieyasu is not used to it, he just said with a serious facial expression: "National affairs." Even if my body is tired, you have to deal with it seriously, don't be in a hurry about the salary, just say it slowly. ”

Wang Haoxian smiled, and said directly to the point: "I was entrusted by a Du Gongzi in Liaodong to discuss with the general about the business and trade between you and me. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu has always been disgusted by this kind of trade demand, after all, he is a conservative person. Just two years earlier, Catholics had made a similar request, and as a result, Tokugawa Ieyasu simply opened up. A gateway to the island of Kyushu as a place where they were promised to do business, and Edo, a densely populated place like Kyoto. They are not allowed to set foot in it.

Wang Haoxian saw the change in Tokugawa Ieyasu's expression, and he knew that maybe he would not be able to complete his mission this time. But it doesn't matter. Originally, Du Gongzi had prepared a number of plans, and he could also go to Osaka Castle in the south to visit Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Toyotomi Hideyoshi, or, on the way back to the city, visit Date Masamune.

But Tokugawa Ieyasu did not refuse rashly, he knew that the opponent in the south had been making his men slowly accept some things from Catholicism. And he, although he did not know much about the future of Catholicism, knew that as long as he did the same thing as his opponent, he could still suppress the enemy's momentum in general by virtue of his own superiority in other aspects.

So, he slowly spoke: "I don't know what this Du Gongzi can bring us?" ”

Wang Haoxian said slowly: "Du Gongzi, there are horses, firearms, and slaves, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes suddenly widened, these three things were all she needed.

Although it is unlikely that a larger war will occur in the entire Japanese island chain in the coming days, it does not mean that foreign forces will not reverse the situation.

Tokugawa Ieyasu could order his daimyo to be on guard against foreign forces, but it couldn't stop Toyotomi Hidelai from doing so.

The young man who had asked him, the dignified general of justice, to call him Boss Huang was still in trade with them, but according to the news from Katagiri and Mototo, the connection between him and Toyotomi Hideyori was even closer.

And that guy named Corning turned out to be this man's subordinate. Looking at how this Li Chunfang, who is still in front of him, was beaten by his subordinates, he knew what kind of ability that Boss Huang had.

As for Catholicism, he is confident that he can still control it, but who is this Du Gongzi is sacred, it will take a certain amount of time to observe.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled slowly: "I want all three of these things." But I don't know what price you're going to give. This is the key to the trade between you and us, so I think it is necessary for us to take some time to discuss it in detail, and tomorrow, my family will ask Honda Masamune to discuss this matter with you. ”

Wang Haoxian nodded. He knew that as long as Tokugawa Ieyasu agreed, the rest would be basically a matter of technology.

With a satisfactory reply, Wang Haoxian slowly retreated, leaving Li Chunfang, who was still stunned, still sitting in place.

Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at him slightly dissatisfied and asked, "Who is it?" Would make you so gaffe? ”

Li Chunfang bowed down and replied, "This person's father is the previous lord. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes narrowed slightly, it seems that this person has a common enmity with Kangning, should he be pulled to his side!

Or, if you have enough power to get rid of Corning, you might as well make a deal with him. This mysterious Du Gongzi also needs this person to uncover his mystery.

There was a plan in his heart, and Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't think much about it. Sent away this uninvited guest, and then looked at Li Chunfang who was still in front of him, the original talks, after this situation that may change the general situation, there was no longer even the need to take bribes, Tokugawa Ieyasu directly ordered soup to send the guests away, and sent Li Chunfang away.

At this time, he remembered Katagiri and Moto, who came to explain. Not to mention that he didn't have a plan to meet this person in the first place, and even if he did, his tired body now doesn't allow it.

However, the nurse of the Diandian Temple, he was still interested in meeting it, especially on the night that was coming.

Not being able to collect those beautiful women when he was young can be said to be one of Tokugawa Ieyasu's misfortunes. After all, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has a personality like an old turtle, has to exercise restraint in the face of material and beautiful women's enjoyment, and of course, he doesn't have to do this now.

Early the next morning, after enjoying the service of the Great Treasury Bureau, Tokugawa Ieyasu summoned Honda Masamune.

Yesterday, he arranged for Honda to meet with Katagiri Kazumoto overnight. He now wondered what the outcome of the talks would be.

"I make your 3 requests." "If I'm not mistaken, that's how he answered. Regarding letting his lord Toyotomi Hideyori come to apologize, this point is absolutely impossible to agree, and only the second one, it is also unacceptable to let Toyotomi Hideyori's mother, the famous great beauty Yododen, come as a hostage. Finally, it is even more impossible for the Toyotomi family to abandon Osaka Castle and reseal it elsewhere. ”

There was no negotiation, and for the truly peaceful people, it was undoubtedly a matter of thinking that I was playing Tai Chi, but for the likes of Katagiri Kazumoto and Tokugawa Ieyasu, this was the result they wanted.

The Treasurer Bureau did everything possible last night, and finally got Tokugawa Ieyasu to agree, and he could patiently listen to Katagiri and Moto's explanation. But what he didn't expect was that the deceiving sympathizer would directly refuse Tokugawa Ieyasu's conditions, without even the slightest hesitation.

But he can't blame Katagiri and Yuan, because the explanation given by the latter is something he has not spoken against.

"Each of these clauses is very harsh, it is an insult to my lord, how can I accept such a clause?"

In fact, Katagiri Kazumoto just hoped that such peace talks would break down, and only in this way could it be regarded as he helped Tokugawa Ieyasu get what he wanted, which was the letter of nomination he wanted Tokugawa Ieyasu to submit.

It was in such a tone of righteous rhetoric that he betrayed his lord with a crisp and firm manner. (To be continued.) )
