"Ahem ......" Just when the crowd in the house was excited, a coughing sound came from the door, and the pale Shimazu Narumi was helped in by a retainer, looking haggard and looking very weak.

Since Sakamoto Ryogen and Matsuyama Ming left, Shimazu Narumi didn't know if he had eaten something unclean, and he kept vomiting and diarrhea, which made him lose weight in the past few days.

The doctor's medical skills were limited, and the doctor didn't know what was wrong with Shimazu Narumi, but the initial diagnosis was food poisoning.

This made Shimazu Narumi very angry, Shimazu Narumi's food was prepared by his people, and now such a bad thing happened, so angry that he ordered the person in charge of Shimazu Narumi's diet to be arrested and whipped with a whip.

In view of Shimazu Narumi's poor physical condition, Shimazu Narumu did not call him to come this time, but he didn't expect Shimazu Narumi to come by himself.

Seeing Shimazu Narumi coming, the chaotic situation at the scene suddenly calmed down, and people looked at Shimazu Narumi, after all, Shimazu Narumi was the daimyo of Osumi Province, and his status among the three kingdoms of the Satsuma Domain was second only to Shimazu Naruto.

"What's going on, why is it so noisy?" After taking the first seat under Shimazu Naruto, Shimazu Narumi asked Shimazu Naruto weakly.

As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, and the taste of vomiting and diarrhea is not pleasant, even a man who is beaten with iron can't withstand such a toss.

Therefore, after tossing for several days in a row, Shimazu Narumi now has only half a life left, and the whole person looks like a piece of paper, as if he will fall to the ground with a light touch of his hand, and his body is extremely weak.

"Look at it." Shimazu Naruto handed the war book on the table in front of him to Shimazu Narumi, as the daimyo of Osumi Province, Shimazu Narumi's opinion was very important.

"That's a big breath." Shimazu Narumi showed a look of surprise on his face after reading the contents of the battle book, and after a deep groan, he looked at Shimazu Naruto, "Lord, how do you think we should deal with the war?" ”

Obviously, Shimazu Minghai's idea is naturally to fight against the Ming army, and now that the Ming army is coming to the city, Shimazu Mingyun is too late to hand over those Japanese robbers, Li Yuntian actually said that he would bring him back to the Ming Dynasty for trial, so Shimazu Mingyun will only be arrested at that time.

At this moment, no one would know that Shimazu Narumi, who was calm on the surface, had already set off a shocking wave in his heart, and he never thought that Li Yuntian would bring Shimazu Naruto back to the Ming Dynasty for interrogation in the name of "Tongwa", so that he could take over the throne of the lord of the Satsuma Domain in a bright and bright manner, and become the guardian of the three kingdoms of the Satsuma Domain.

Shimazu Narumi knew very well that once Shimazu Narumo was accused of "forbidden", then his wife and children would also be implicated, and Ashikaga Yoshihito would be able to justifiably appoint him as the guardian daimyo of the three kingdoms of the Satsuma Domain, that is, the lord of the Satsuma Domain.

Such a statement would be a thousand times better than Ashikaga Yoshihito's forcible appointment of him as the head of the Satsuma Domain, and those people in the Satsuma Kingdom would surely defect to him with all their hearts.

The reason why Shimazu Narumi was so sick this time was to avoid fighting the Ming army on the battlefield and to find ways to preserve his strength.

Originally, Shimazu Narumi could not have participated in this pre-war meeting, but now he looks sick and can't talk about things.

However, in order to show the importance of this battle, Shimazu Narumi rushed over to make a good impression on everyone.

"How do you think we should fight this battle?" Shimazu Naruto did not answer Shimazu Narumi's question, but asked with a smile and a confident look.

"Lord, the firearms of the Ming army are sharp, and the firearms of the Ming army in Qingshui City's strong defense cannot be effective, so we should defend against the danger and then wait for the opportunity to find fighters." Shimazu Narumi groaned for a moment and said seriously.

Although Shimazu Narumi hoped that Shimazu Naruto would go out of the city and fight with the Ming army, and it would be better to die in the chaotic battle, but he could not show the slightest flaw in front of everyone, so he analyzed the current shape according to common sense.

"What do you think?" Shimazu Mingyun smiled when he heard this, raised his head and asked everyone present.

"Lord, Lord Narumi is reasonable, although the Ming army's firearms are advantageous, they cannot pose a threat to the rocks of Qingshui City, as long as we hold the city gate, then the Ming army can only use cloud ladders to attack the city, and then we will wait for work, and we can cause them heavy casualties!"

A middle-aged retainer sitting cross-legged in the first row in front of Shimazu Naruto bowed to Shimazu Naruto, agreeing with Shimazu Narumi's idea.

What the Satsuma army is most afraid of now is the firearms of the Ming army, and they are not afraid of fighting with the Ming army, but if they are killed by the firearms of the Ming army before they get close to the Ming army, it will deal a heavy blow to morale.

If the Ming army wanted to attack the city, the rock wall of Qingshui Castle was like a solid armor of the Satsuma army, blocking the artillery of the Ming army, and the projectiles of the Ming army could not cause damage to the rocks.

"Lord, the little one thinks that we can divide all the soldiers and horses to ambush outside the city, specifically to deal with the artillery camp of the Ming army, as long as the artillery of the Ming army is destroyed, then the remaining Ming army will have nothing to fear." Subsequently, another middle-aged retainer sitting in the first row also gave Shimazu Naruto an idea.

When the people at the scene heard this, they all opened their mouths to echo the two retainers, not only because what the two said was reasonable, but also because the two were Shimazu Mingyun's henchmen, so everyone wanted to pat the two of them.

"Does anyone have a different opinion?" Shimazu Naruto glanced around at the people in the room and asked quietly.

Everyone felt as if Shimazu Naruto had something to say, so they stopped talking in private and looked at it suspiciously, not knowing what Shimazu Naruto meant.

Shimazu Narumi's eyes lit up, he had already guessed what Shimazu Naruto meant, Shimazu Naruto seemed to not want to defend the city, as for why Shimazu Naruto wanted to give up Qingshui City, there was only one explanation, that is, the food in the city was insufficient, once the Ming army besieged and did not attack the war of attrition, then Shimazu Naruto could not afford it at all.

Although I guessed what Shimazu Naruto meant, but since Shimazu Naruto sold a pass in front of everyone, then Shimazu Narumi naturally won't break it.

"Can any of you tell the clan how much grain is left in the city?" Sure enough, Shimazu Naruto saw that everyone didn't guess his intentions, so he asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, the stock in the city is enough to eat for three months at most!" The people present couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, how did they know about these trivial things, and a retainer sitting on the edge of the first row bowed to Shimazu Mingyun and replied loudly.

The reason why this retainer knew about the grain was because he was the person in charge of the grain affairs of Shimizu Castle, and the grain reserves of Shimizu Castle obviously could not feed the more than 20,000 additional allied troops of the three kingdoms of the Satsuma Domain in the city for too long.

It was only at this time that everyone at the scene understood the meaning of Shimazu Mingyun, and their faces showed the true color of shock, which meant that once the Ming army surrounded Qingshui City, the logistics supply line of Qingshui City would be cut off, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't you think that the attitude of King Zhongwu of the Ming Dynasty is a little strange, it was supposed to be us to recapture the water county, but he took the initiative to attack Qingshui City, there must be something hidden in this!"

Shimazu Mingyun saw that the people at the scene had realized the severity of the matter, so he said with a stern expression, "King Zhongwu of the Ming Dynasty is a cunning person, otherwise he would not have become the prince of the Ming Dynasty in only ten years, let alone go to Kyoto to provoke the relationship between us and the shogunate, so he is not stupid enough to forcibly attack the well-defended Shimizu Castle, so this must be a trick, trying to leave us all in Shimizu City for siege, and then wipe them out." ”

Hearing this, everyone present showed a look of sudden realization, they didn't know that the logistics of Qingshui City could not support it for too long, so they were patronizing the righteous indignation just now and did not see through Li Yuntian's "sinister intentions".

"Lord, how is this battle fought?" After the initial consternation, one of the retainers bowed to Shimazu Naruto and asked in a deep voice.

If things are really as Shimazu Naruto said, then the Satsuma army naturally can't wait for the Ming army to come in Shimizu Castle, and they must get along with each other to deal with it.

"The clan decided to ambush the Ming army halfway." Under the concerned gaze of everyone at the scene, Shimazu Mingyun said in a deep voice, "The Ming army never thought that we would ambush them on the road anyway, so they will definitely not take precautions, so we will take them by surprise." ”

"Ambush?" Everyone present couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, this was indeed a good way to make the Ming army, which was not the slightest defense, chaotic.

What is particularly important is that in this way, the firearms of the Ming army, which the Satsuma army is quite afraid of, will no longer be useful, and then the Satsuma army's henchmen will be relieved.

"Lord, where are you going to set up an ambush?" Shimazu Narumi also realized at this time that Li Yuntian's war book used a lot of provocative words, as if he really wanted to lure Shimazu Mingyun to fight in Qingshui City, and now since Shimazu Mingyun planned to ambush the Ming army, he was naturally very concerned about the ambush location, and then found a way to inform Li Yuntian not to fall into the trap.

"Redbird Mountain!" A smug smile appeared on Shimazu Naruun's face, and three words came out of his mouth.

"Red Bird Mountain?" Shimazu Narumi was taken aback when he heard this, Red Bird Mountain is high and dense, if Shimazu Naruto ambushes there, it will be difficult for the Ming army to find out.

"Narumi, you are not in good health, this time you will stay in Qingshui City to guard the city, and the city will be handed over to you." Shimazu Naruto nodded, and then said solemnly.

"Don't worry, the little one will definitely guard Qingshui City." Shimazu Narumi nodded solemnly, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

Although he avoided this war, how to inform Li Yuntian of Shimazu Mingyun's ambush at Red Bird Mountain made him very troubled, he did not have a contact method with Li Yuntian, so it was difficult to contact Li Yuntian, and once Shimazu Mingyun successfully set up an ambush at Red Bird Mountain, it would undoubtedly make the situation more complicated.
