In Huangzhou City, a group of people in the city lord's mansion are arguing:

"Kiyomasa Kato has been killed by those cunning Ming people, and we must march immediately and fight to the death against the Ming people. If it drags on like this, the superiority of our forces will gradually be lost! Slamming the table hard, Masanori Fukushima shouted almost roaringly.

"What General Fukushima said makes sense, at present, our army is 90,000 strong, and the Ming people are only 50,000. Although the enemy has elite cavalry, we can use the same method that Oda Sosuke used to deal with Takeda Akabi, using iron cannons and strong walls to defend to the death, and wear out the cavalry of the people of the Bright Country. At that time, my main army was fighting with the power of Mount Tai. It will definitely be possible to completely annihilate the Ming people's army," Kuroda Nagamasa on the side echoed and said, as a descendant of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he and Fukushima Masanori have always advanced and retreated together.

Mori Terumoto and Kobayakawa Takakei on the side glanced at each other, and sighed helplessly: At this time, it is obvious that there is no part to speak by yourself!

In the army attacking Korea, it was impossible for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to fully trust daimyo like Mori Terumoto who had defected to him, and only descendants such as Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, and Kuroda Nagamasa were people that Toyotomi Hideyoshi could trust. In order to suppress daimyo such as Mori Terumoto, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's descendants were not only numerous, but also prioritized in terms of armament and material supplies.

At present, although Tokugawa Ieyasu was nominally the supreme commander of the Mud Bombardment Army in Korea, he only had the power to formulate plans and issue battle orders. And it is claimed to be the lifeblood of the mud bombardment army, the supply of materials and intelligence gathering. It was in the hands of the naval forces of the Nine Demons Yoshitaka and Wasuka Masakatsu, who were completely loyal to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and did not care about Tokugawa Ieyasu at all.

These people are all Toyotomi Hideyoshi's descendants, especially Kuroda Nagamasa is the son-in-law of Wasuka Masakatsu, and the two sides have a close relationship, and in some ways completely suppress Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Terumoto and others, so these people play a leading role in many things.

Seeing that Kuroda Nagamasa and Fukushima Masanori had the upper hand, they were about to mobilize a large army to fight to the death with Li Rusong, an old man who had been sitting on the side and not speaking spoke:

"You two sit down honestly for me. His Royal Highness Taiko asked me to travel thousands of miles to North Korea. It's not for the old man to watch you children quarrel! Our goal is to occupy the whole of Korea, watch over the Ming Dynasty, and make infrequent feats for His Highness Taeko. Are you still in the mood to quarrel here? Don't you feel that we have been betrayed? ”

The old man spoke. Masanori Fukushima and Nagamasa Kuroda, who were originally triumphant. It's like a frosted eggplant. Without saying a word, he honestly returned to the little maza, and did not say a word in frustration.

This old man can be said to be Toyotomi Hideyoshi's biggest pawn ambushed in North Korea - Kuroda Kanwei!

Kuroda Kanbei is one of the two important strategists under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and is known as the first in the entire mud bombardment strategy. He joined the Oda family in 1575. became an important advisor to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and in the Honnoji Change, he strategized for Toyotomi Hideyoshi and helped Toyotomi Hideyoshi to win:

In the third year of Tensho (1575), there was a debate within the Kodera family about attaching one of the two major powers, the Mori and the Oda family, to which the head of the Mizuichi family was subordinate to the Oda family. And he served as a messenger to Azuchi Castle. With Hideyoshi's help, Rusui personally visited Nobunaga and expressed the Kodera family's willingness to submit to the Oda family, and his eloquence and unique insights impressed Nobunaga, who immediately presented him with a famous sword, and this meeting also made Nobunaga determined to attack Mori. In April of the following year, the 5,000 Maori army attacked the Koteri family, and they paid a lot of money to let many people in the vicinity raise their flags behind the soldiers of their own army, and when they raided the Maori army, they waved their flags and shouted together. In the same year, Rusui served as the commander-in-chief of the Oda family's attack on China, and Hideyoshi welcomed Himeji Castle into Himeji Castle and officially became Hideyoshi's staff officer. He played an important role in the later battles of Besshoji Nagaji, which attacked Miki Castle, defeated the rebel general Araki Murashige, and flooded Takamatsu Castle. In 1579, after the death of Takenaka Hanbei Takataka from illness, Rusui became Hideyoshi's military advisor.

The strategy of such water can be vividly manifested after the outbreak of the Honnoji Incident. At 12 o'clock on the night of June 3, the day after the incident, Hideyoshi received news to discuss with Rusui, who immediately hinted that Hideyoshi's time had come to take over the world. After that, Rusui served as the envoy of Hideyoshi's peace with the Mori family, and persuaded the Mori family's envoy Ankokuji Huiqiong to help Hideyoshi reach peace talks on the condition that he was aware of the Honnoji Incident, and that his future interests would be the condition. At the same time, the news was blocked from the Maori side, and he supervised the seppuku of Shimizu Soji, the lord of Takamatsu Castle, on time, and the queen of the palace withdrew to Himeji Castle with Hideyoshi. When the Mori family learned of the Honnoji incident, Rusui and Hideyoshi were already on their way back to Osaka. What is even more admirable is that in this situation where every second counts, Rusui also borrowed a batch of military flags from Kobayakawa Takakei and Ukita, and when Hideyoshi fought against Akechi Mitsuhide, Rusui waved these military flags in the army, creating a false impression that Hideyoshi, Mori, and Ukita were wise to fight against the army.

Later, in the process of Hideyoshi's unification of the world, Rushui assisted Hideyoshi's younger brother Hidecho to attack Shikoku, and accompanied Hideyoshi to attack Kyushu, all of which had outstanding performances. However, after the Battle of Odawara, Hideyoshi began to alienate this military advisor who had made important contributions to his victory in the world, and not only did not listen to Rushui's advice to go to Korea, but also transferred him out of the army. Rushui Zhi Michi Hideyoshi was jealous of his ability, and in order not to cause trouble, he gave up the territory of 120,000 stone in Fengqian to his son Nagamasa, cut his hair and became a monk, and began to live in seclusion.

After the Korean War did not go well and Konishi Yukinaga and others were defeated by Li Rusong at Daewolpo in Pyongyang, Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally invited Kuroda Kanbei out of the mountain, and he keenly felt that in the army of the expedition to Korea, someone was secretly communicating with the Ming army and wanted to kill him. Therefore, Kuroda Kanbei was ordered to secretly go to North Korea to find out who was betraying him behind the scenes. At the same time, at a critical moment, he commanded the Korean mud bombing expeditionary army.

In order to convince the Kuroda Kanwei, Toyotomi Hideyoshi even gave Kuroda Kanwei, a katana that he had used for many years, allowing him the power to act in Korea with the power to cut first and then play.

The Kuroda Kanbei controlled all the ninja troops in the Korean Expeditionary Force, which numbered only fifty people, but each of them was a carefully selected and well-trained elite, and there was no disadvantage in assassination and intelligence investigation. It was also this unit that brought the news of Kato Kiyomasa's killing back to Huangzhou in time.

"Now it is obvious that we people are being used as cannon fodder and used to curry favor with high-ranking officials of the Ming Kingdom. Tokugawa Ieyasu, this guy! They want to use our heads and blood to pave the way for themselves. It's obvious that this guy has been colluding with the Ming people. Not only did they take advantage of the unique geographical location of Junhe and Yuanjiang to collude with the Wufeng fleet to purchase all kinds of ordnance on a large scale, intending to usurp His Royal Highness Taige's country. He actually wants to make trouble in North Korea and bury all of us in North Korea in one fell swoop. He himself is good at leading the troops of his descendants. Flee back to the mud bombardment after we were wiped out. At that time, His Royal Highness Taiko's army was greatly damaged. And he can unite the Mongols of Uesugi Keikatsu and Kai to march from Owari and completely destroy us! He slowly stood up. Kuroda Kanbei said almost through gritted teeth.

The devils can't tell the difference between the Jurchens and the Mongols, so all the peoples who ride horses are called Mongols.

"Father, that old thing from Tokugawa Ieyasu doesn't have the guts, does he? We have nearly 200,000 people in North Korea, and he and Uesugi Keikatsu combined are only 50,000? In case it is exposed, all our forces will be combined and we will be able to surround Busan in three days, and destroy them in half a day. There is also a blockade of the fleet of my father-in-law and Kataka-sama on the sea, and Tokugawa Ieyasu has no way to retreat," Kuroda Nagamasa on the side thought for a moment and said stubbornly.

The old Tokugawa tortoise fought almost all kinds of battles, and generally the wars he commanded were never won. But in terms of public relations, pulling relationships, and pretending to be a grandson, the old turtle is very handy, and because the Jurchen Tartars occupied Kai, Uesugi Kenshin couldn't get used to him. The old turtle didn't have the strength to argue with Toyotomi Hideyoshi at all, so as soon as Toyotomi Hideyoshi killed Akechi Mitsuhide, the old turtle was the first to cry and shout and take refuge in Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

At the same time, the old turtle was busy with one thing all day long: sparing no expense and cheekiness, he did his best to curry favor with and make friends with the generals and strategists under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. People like Kuroda Nagamasa and Fukushima Masanori have taken advantage of it and have never taken the old turtle seriously. I thought that the girl was just an old dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy to His Royal Highness Taige, but I couldn't imagine that this guy actually had the courage to do a black hand to them behind his back, and even a feeling of disbelief.

"Humph! You fools, Tokugawa Ieyasu followed Imagawa Yoshimoto back then, and he also looked loyal. The result? As soon as Imagawa Yoshimoto died, he took the initiative to join Nobunaga, and he also took the initiative to take action against the family he had previously been loyal to. As soon as Nobunaga died, he didn't even do superficial things, so he took refuge in His Royal Highness Taiko. How can such a three-surnamed domestic slave be trusted? With a cold snort, Kuroda Kanbei didn't look at the son who was standing in place and deteriorated Fukushima Masanori, and sat on the main seat and said:

"Leave Pyongyang alone for now, anyway, the two of them can hold out for a while anyway. Our top priority is to solve the hidden danger behind it, and the three of you, Shogunori, Mori Shogun, and Kobayakawa will lead 60,000 men with me and rush to Busan overnight to solve Tokugawa Ieyasu. Chang Zheng, you led 22,000 people to stay in Huangzhou, if the army of the Ming people killed, there was no need to resist and directly abandon Huangzhou and retreat. Secret order Naoshige Nabeshima and Nagamu Mototsu to lead troops to surround Uesugi Keikatsu, be sure to annihilate them all! ”

In fact, Kuroda Kanwei's move was also a helpless move, no one wanted to mobilize the main force to clean up the traitors on their side when the Ming army was attacking on a large scale. But the old Tokugawa turtle is in a high position, and the involvement is huge, if you don't kill the girl quickly, God knows what moths will come out of the road. As a result, Kuroda Kanbei decided to solve the internal problem first, and then concentrate his forces on a decisive battle with Li Rusong in Pyongyang.

In fact, at present, this is also the best way: the Ming army is not strong enough to stretch the battle line too long, at most occupy Pyongyang and Huangzhou, and the devil has enough time to kill the old turtle.

Here, Li Rusong has not sent Kato Kiyomasa's head over, and the devil has already started his favorite thing: fighting in the nest. (To be continued......)
