Chapter 614: Persuasion

How wise the king of Zhennan is, he actually broke through the details of the Japanese army in one word!

Cheng Yue knew that he had guessed right as soon as he saw his expression, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a simple speculation." With Japan's current national strength, Kyushu can only gather so many troops at most, and the Kamakura Shogunate and Dazaifu will not be able to withstand it. ”

Shimazu couldn't help but ask, "What else does the prince know?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "I also knew that I would annihilate your 120,000 army in Akasaka Mountain, and this result was already doomed." It's actually a good thing that you were caught early, otherwise you would probably die in the chaos, and the Shimazu family might die. ”

Shimazu looked at Cheng Yue in disbelief for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Cheng Yue was more and more unfathomable--could it be that he had already made up his mind, and the 120,000-strong army led by Fujiwara was really in danger as he said? Or is he trying to deceive himself into telling the secrets of the Japanese army?

The speculation in Shimazu's heart had already been seen through by Cheng Yue, and said with a smile: "Do you suspect that I am playing with your words?" It's okay, you don't have to say anything, just go to jail. When this battle is over, let's go back and see if what I said is correct. If I can't do anything, I'll let you go. But if I do, do you dare to promise me a condition? ”

Shimazu's long guard rose and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

Cheng Yue said: "It's very simple, you will work for me in the future, how about it?" ”

Shimazu pondered for a long time, and said: "Lord, I have thought about it for a long time, and I don't think that the prince can win easily, whether it is the Fujiwara Keizai of Zhenxi, or Hojo Somasa, Anda Morimune, Otomo Yoritai, Fukuda Kanese and my father Shimazu Kukei, they are all famous generals who have fought a hundred battles in Japan. The prince wanted to break through their defenses. It's hard to get to the top! ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "So." Will you agree to my terms? ”

Shimazu Jiuchang laughed and said, "The prince seems to be very sure? ”

Cheng Yue said: "If I am not sure, I will not lead a large army to cross the sea to Japan." Since I'm here, Japan is determined to win, and no one can stop me. ”

Shimazu stared at Cheng Yue's eyes for a long time, not finding even the slightest anxiety in his eyes, but full of calm confidence. It seems that the Goryeo army was at a disadvantage in the two-day bloody battle, and it was really as Cheng Yue said, as he expected. Cheng Yue still had a large number of generals who did not fight. Could it be that the secret lies in them?

Cheng Yue saw that he was hesitant and said with a smile: "We still have time, you can think about it again and give me an answer within three days." With a wave of his hand, the captured Japanese were all taken down.

With Shimazu for a long time, no one else matters, and so do those famous outlaws in Japanese history, Cheng Yue doesn't want to waste time on them.

Cheng Yue said to Chen Bao, Zhang Da, Zhang Zhen and others: "You have done a good job, and after the end of the Eastern Crusade, let's discuss the merits and rewards together, and let it go today." ”

The three of them were overjoyed. Salute and retreat.

Cheng Yue said to Jin Fangqing: "Your subordinates have suffered a lot of casualties, do you still have to be on duty tonight?" ”

Jin Fangqing said angrily: "Lord Wang." The subordinates can be on duty at night, and the whole army is willing to fight for the prince until one soldier is a soldier! ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Okay, then you continue to work hard, I won't treat you badly." ”

Jin Fang Qingle said: "Yes, thank you Lord Wang." ”

Cheng Yue summoned again: "Where is Zhang Wei?" ”

A Han general who had been standing silently behind Fan Wenhu heard Cheng Yue call him, hurriedly bypassed Fan Wenhu and stood in front of Cheng Yue, and saluted: "The last general." ”

Zhang Wei was the general of the Han army in the Yuan Dynasty, wise and brave, loyal and simple, and once led the army in Xiangyang to fight to the death with the generals of the Lu family, and made great achievements. Later, the generals of the Lu clan surrendered, and his official position was not small, but he became Fan Wenhu's subordinate.

Cheng Yue wanted to use him early on, and said: "A large section of Haizhong Road has been repaired, and someone needs to protect it at night, can you?" ”

Zhang Wei saluted and said in a deep voice: "Yes, if the last general makes a mistake, he will be punished heavily!" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Okay, with you guarding the road, I have nothing to worry about." With a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's all go back, and I'll be here today." ”

The generals bowed and retreated.

Otomo Raitai tried his best, but he still couldn't break through the interception of the Goryeo army, and he couldn't avenge his sacrificed subordinates.

After the father and son rewarded the sergeant, they came to the Honglu Pavilion to meet with the Japanese generals.

Fujiwara Keizo and the others couldn't help but be startled when they saw Otomo Yoritai and Otomo coming in with a blue face.

Fujiwara Shino asked, "Your Excellency Otomo, is something wrong?" ”

Otomo Yoritai sat down cross-legged, put the katana in his hand heavily on the ground, sighed, and said, "Gentlemen, I was attacked last night, and my losses reached a thousand people, plus nearly four hundred people died in the battle today, I only have a little more than three thousand people left. ”

"What?!"

"Sneak attack?!"

Otomo Lai Tai said: "Yes, last night Cheng Yue sent people to touch the shore and killed all the 1,000 people I left on the beach to defend, and the sneak attack people had already left when I arrived." I wanted to break through the Haizhong Road today to take revenge, but those Koreans were killed so much, they just didn't retreat. I'm so sorry, I lost. After saying that, the father and son knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to the Japanese generals.

The generals were shocked and looked at each other, and Fujiwara Keizi immediately comforted: "Your Excellency Otomo doesn't have to ask for guilt, he was just attacked by a small sneak attack, what does it matter?" His Excellency Otomo successfully let Cheng Yue know the power of our Japanese samurai and blocked the road in the middle of the sea, which is a great credit. ”

Fukuda said solemnly: "Your Excellency, you blocked Cheng Yue's two-day onslaught, and didn't let Cheng Yue take any advantage, so let's change us tomorrow, you can take a rest." ”

Otomo Yoritai sighed and did not insist. If he fights like this for another day, only half of his 5,000 men will be left, and it is time for Fukuda Kanese to take over.

Fujiwara asked in detail what happened last night, and exclaimed: "Cheng Yue's move is very powerful, and he lives up to his name as a famous general." ”

Fujiwara Keiji said disapprehantly: "What's the use of this? It's only a thousand people, and at most it can only make His Excellency Otomo a little angry, and it has no impact on the overall situation. ”

Goro Heda interjected: "I heard that we also have samurai who want to sneak attack Cheng Yue, I don't know if they went?" Could it be that Cheng Yue was attacked, and he became angry and embarrassed, so he sent someone to attack His Excellency Otomo to get angry? ”

Everyone was at a loss, they didn't know anything about it, and they hadn't heard of anyone who had successfully returned from a sneak attack.

Shimazu Hisashi suddenly thought that Shimazu Hisashi was not around, and exclaimed: "By the way, yesterday I heard from Kucho's subordinates that he wanted to find some boats to try his luck at night, and I haven't seen him since then!" (To be continued.) )
