Uji City is located in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, and is adjacent to the southeast of Kyoto City. Since the founding of Japan, Uji City has been the gateway between Nara and Kyoto. As a transportation hub, Uji City is prosperous and prosperous. After Li Zhen led the leading troops to Uji City, he stopped advancing and allowed Yoshida Shoin to lead his troops to the battle.

In the barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army.

The envoy sent by Yoshida Shoin bowed down, his face full of eagerness, and said eagerly: "King Qiyu Zhennan, the battle on the front line has been lost, Lord Yoshida asks you to send troops to rescue." A few days later, our army will collapse on all fronts. ”

Li Zhen smiled lightly and said helplessly: "It's really unfortunate, my army still has a few days to reach Uji." Please Yoshida Shoin be sure to keep up with it, and I'll get there as soon as possible. ”

When the soldier heard this, he was stunned.

How many more days? A few days later, the army had already been defeated.

The soldier didn't know the truth of what Li Zhen said, but he could only choose to believe it and said, "King Zhennan, our soldiers really can't stop it. At present, His Excellency Shinsaku Takasugi was killed, His Excellency Inoue Shin was killed, and His Excellency Hirobumi Ito was also killed, and a series of elites died in this battle. Lord Yoshida Shoin has reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and you must send troops to rescue him! Only if you come to the rescue can you save the situation. Although it will take some time for your army to arrive, the advance team you lead can also send them to support first! ”

Li Zhen was stunned and asked in surprise, "Are you sure Takasugi and Ito are dead?" ”

The soldier was afraid that Li Zhen would not believe it, so he nodded again and again.

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was smiling but not smiling, looking very weird.

Hirobumi Ito is dead, Shinsaku Takasugi is dead, these tide makers are actually dead, and these two big people who have leveraged the tricks of Japanese history have died ahead of schedule.

This news made Li Zhen irrepressibly excited.

Li Zhen took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He thought for a moment and said, "You go back and tell Yoshida Shoin, and let him hold on for a few more days." I really don't have troops to help me now, even if I send the advance team around me, it won't help. Hold on to your persistence, wait for my army to arrive, and then immediately launch a counteroffensive and annihilate the shogunate in one fell swoop. ”

The soldier's face changed dramatically, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

He slammed his head on the ground, almost choked up, and said, "Lord Wang, we have reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and we can only rely on you to send troops to save us." If you don't, we're really going to fail. Lord Wang, you must make a move!

Li Zhen said: "It's not that I don't want to, I really can't do it!" ”

"Someone, take him out!"

Zhao Liewen understood Li Zhen's intentions and immediately ordered the soldiers to send people out.

The soldiers who reported the news pleaded again and again, but Li Zhen remained unchanged.

The soldier had no choice but to return the way he came. After returning to Yoshida Shoin's barracks, he went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army. When Yoshida Matsuin saw the soldiers who reported the news coming back, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes, and he asked, "How is the situation?" Did Li Zhen send troops? ”

The soldier arrived: "My lord, Li Zhen is reluctant to send troops. ”

"Ahh

Yoshida Shoin exclaimed, shook his head and said, "Impossible, it must be impossible." How could Li Zhen not send troops? Li Zhen is our supporter and our ally, and we have reached the most dangerous moment, and he can't sit idly by! Besides, our army has failed, and Li Zhen will not be able to benefit! ”

The soldier sighed lightly and said, "Lord Yoshida, I went to see Li Zhen and pleaded hard, but Li Zhen didn't agree. Every time he was asked to send troops, he refused on the grounds that the soldiers had not yet arrived. Even if Li Zhen agrees to support us, it will be several days before he arrives. Li Zhen clearly doesn't support us, what do you say? ”

Yoshida Shoin staggered to the ground, extremely lost.

The soldier's words were like a sharp knife piercing Yoshida Shoin's heart, which stimulated his heart to twitch.

Yoshida Shoin calmed down and said helplessly: "Li Zhen has arrived, there must be an army by his side, didn't you urge more?" If Li Zhen lets us go, we will lose! ”

The soldier explained, "My lord, I urged it! Li Zhen just doesn't send troops! ”

Yoshida Shoin's expression was depressed, and the expression on his face became extremely depressed. A desperate expression appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Li Zhen is so ruthless, so ruthless!" Supporting us to oppose the shogunate, but now letting it go, is crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Yoshida Shoin seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, as if crying but not crying, and his spirit was a little abnormal.

The soldier said, "My lord, if Li Zhen doesn't give support, what should we do?" ”

Yoshida Shoin replied: "Order, surrender!" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment and said, "Even if you want to surrender, you have to take us with you!" ”

Yoshida Shoin shook his head and said, "You can surrender, but I can't." Takasugi Shinsaku was killed, Inoue Shin was killed, and even Ito Hirobumi was killed, and all the disciples left me, can I still survive in secret? They are heroes of Japan, and I can't disgrace them and let them die in vain. ”

Yoshida Shoin spoke, his expression becoming more serious.

He sat upright, and reached out to pull out the suicide knife from his waist. Yoshida Shoin slammed his force hard, and the blade thrust into his stomach with a pop. He chose the most heroic suicide by breaking his abdomen, which was very painful. A painful expression appeared on Yoshida Shoin's face, and he said, "Li Zhen, Li Zhen......"

Before he finished speaking, Yoshida Matsuin let go of the short knife in his hand and fell to the ground and died.

A pool of blood, formed underneath Yoshida Shoin's body.

The soldier watched Yoshida Shoin commit suicide and felt a chill in his heart. He stood stunned for a long time before he opened his mouth and shouted, "Yoshida-sama has committed suicide!" ”

There was a loud roar, and the news was immediately spread.

This move dealt a fatal blow to the army of the Shogunate, which was demoralized and could no longer organize a little resistance, and was quickly crushed by the Shogunate's army.

Shogunate, in the barracks.

Tokugawa Ieshige had a happy expression on his face, he was relieved when he got the news of Yoshida Shoin's suicide, and said: "Miyamoto-kun, Yoshida Shoin committed suicide, we have won this battle, and we can prepare to celebrate." ”

Yoshihiko Miyamoto said: "General, it's too early to celebrate! ”

"Oh, why?" Tokugawa Ieshiro asked.

Miyamoto Yoshihiko said: "The movement of Li Zhen's army is unknown, and the situation is unpredictable! I think that we can't withdraw our troops for the time being, otherwise once Li Zhen brings his troops to kill, we will be in a hurry to respond to the battle, and the situation will be difficult to control. ”

After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieshige's expression became gloomy, and his mood suddenly became very bad.

Li Zhen, it's Li Zhen again!

Tokugawa Ieshige clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was very dissatisfied with Li Zhen.

When it comes to Japan's state affairs, Li Zhen also has to intervene, which makes Tokugawa Ieshige unable to swallow this breath no matter what. At the beginning, it was just that the Demon Sword Village was being destroyed, and the Yanagi family was destroyed, and Tokugawa Ieshige endured it, after all, he didn't want to fall out with Li Zhen, but now that it involves state affairs, Tokugawa Ieshige can no longer hold back the anger in his heart.
