"Shimazu-kun, I can't go on like this. These cunning Ming people don't intend to fight with us in a dignified and upright way at all, but want to burn us alive by despicable means! ”

After nightfall, seeing that the Ming army was still in shifts and continued to set fire and open fire, Konishi Yukicho approached Shimazu Yoshihiro to discuss.

During the day, a small group of devil soldiers, led by Konishi Yuki's confidant Konishi, discovered that the Ming army was lax in the defense of the eastern city of Pyongyang. He once tried to break through from Dongcheng and went to Huangzhou to ask for reinforcements:

At that time, there was indeed no Ming army defense in Dongcheng, and Konishi Fei, who was overjoyed, sent people to report to Konishi Yukicho and Shimazu Yoshihiro, and ordered the soldiers to break through quickly. After a while, the cavalry of the Ming army killed the wind, and chased after him, driven by a strong desire to win, every devil soldier used his strength to eat, and desperately escaped to the gate of Dongcheng.

But when they passed through the city gate, they found that in front of them was a big choppy river, and the bridge over the river had been demolished by the Ming army.

As a result, Xiao Xifei took seven or eight samurai, relying on the familiarity of the terrain and reluctantly fled back to the Peony Peak stronghold. Most of the devil soldiers tried to jump into the river to swim to escape, but thousands of people were frozen to death by the cold temperature and freezing water of the river in the first month, and a few were killed by the Ming army who came later, and their heads were cut off and turned into trophies.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through and asking for help, President Konishi had no choice but to consult with Shimazu Yoshihiro about countermeasures.

"It's better to say than to sing. Aren't you also planning to stick to your stronghold and be condescending and take the enemy by surprise? Do you really think that people in the Ming Kingdom are stupid, you have to be stupid to send you to death, and if you don't send them to death, you are despicable? Still fighting in a dignified way? There is a kind of you who led the troops out of the city to do it with the Ming people! What do you think you are? In his heart, he expressed contempt for Governor Konishi's words, but Shimazu Yoshihiro was silent and secretly made his own little calculations.

Unlike Konishi Yukicho, an inland daimyo like Konishi, Shimazu Yoshihiro, as a daimyo with a port, often comes into contact with the people of the Ming Kingdom, in fact, he knows very well in his heart how powerful the Ming Kingdom is, just like when Li Rusong debuted the Wufeng fleet. The defeat of the elite troops under his command:

"Whew. The Wufeng fleet is just a mere escort force of merchants, and it is already so strong. The regular army of these Ming people has a big tube that many of our big names don't have, and the number is so amazing. How can we possibly win? "Silently scheming in my heart. Yoshihiro Shimazu turned his gaze to Yukinaga Konishi to the side.

yourself. At the beginning, he was plotted by the grandson of Konishi Yuki. was deceived to Pyongyang in a daze, otherwise he would have run to Huangzhou with Maori Huiyuan, and he would have run back to the mud if he couldn't do it. This grandson calculated me from the beginning. I will definitely want you to look good in the future.

In his heart, he secretly scolded Konishi for his lack of morality, and he was besieged, but Shimazu Yoshihiro still took the initiative to speak:

"Konishi-kun, the only way to fight your way out of Pyongyang City is to find a way to fight your way out of Pyongyang City. At present, our army has suffered heavy losses, and I don't know when there will be reinforcements in Ludao, and if we continue to hold on, I am afraid that you and I will be burned alive! ”

Hearing this, President Konishi couldn't help but shake his whole body, although he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he also didn't want to die in a foreign country like North Korea for no reason.

Konishi Yukinaga (1555-1600) was a Japanese military commander in the late Azuchi-Momoyama period. The son of Sakai City wealthy merchant Konishi Ryusa. Commonly known as Yakuro. At the beginning, he was a minister of the Bizen Kuniyu Kita clan, and in 1579 he was recruited by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and because of his repeated military exploits, he was given the surname Toyotomi in 1585 for Settsu Mamoru. In 1588, he was given the title of Feihou Kingdom, and the fiefdom was 240,000 stone (one said 140,000 stone).

Since childhood, the life of brocade clothes and food has made Konishi Yukinaga in some aspects, especially in terms of courage, not as good as Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori, who have been hard and not garbage since childhood.

Don't look at Konishi Yukicho following Toyotomi Hideyoshi to conquer the world and make great contributions, but in fact, strictly speaking, he is just the kind of civilian official who commands battles in the rear and gives advice, and almost never really kills people on the battlefield. Such generals have a fatal weakness: in a crisis environment, most of these generals cannot withstand the pressure, or defect or lose their excellent judgment and decisiveness, and become a marionette at the disposal of others.

Thinking of his family, his beautiful wife, concubines and maids, and his comfortable family, the mountains of money and treasures in the warehouse, and his own fat and oily territory, Governor Konishi suddenly lost all his fighting spirit.

"So Shimazu-kun, what do you feel you should do?" Yukicho Konishi, who completely gave up his idea in an instant, also lost his judgment, and usually Shimazu Yoshihiro listened to him for this kind of thing.

"Well, send someone out to negotiate. Konishi-kun, the Ming army on the opposite side has also been killed for a day and a night, and he must be exhausted. If we continue to hold on, we can hold out for about three days. It is impossible for the Ming people to leave us behind and attack Huangzhou directly. They have already defeated us, and they are in a hurry to receive the reward one by one, and they are certainly not willing to storm our army at such a time and die in a daze. So I feel that the other side must also want us to evacuate Pyongyang City as soon as possible, so that they can declare their victory," Shimazu Yoshihiro said without refusing to shirk and according to his own ideas.

The two discussed for a long time, and felt that Shimazu Yoshihiro's idea was indeed feasible, so they sent Konishi Yuki, a close confidant of President Konishi, to negotiate with the Ming army camp.

"Oh? Let me let you go, and promise not to ambush you? What's in it for me, what's in it for the tens of thousands of brothers under my command? Looking at Xiao Xifei kneeling in front of him with a sneer, Li Rusong asked lightly.

"In the Peony Peak stronghold, there are currently 1,800 wounded soldiers, and these people are at your disposal. There are also five secret places where our army buried their belongings in Pyongyang City, this is a map, please accept it with a smile" Hearing this, Xiao Xifei was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

Before coming, Xiao Xifei has been worried, as a "negotiator" in the brick industry, what he is most afraid of is that the other party will not bite and bite to death, as long as the other party is willing to put forward conditions, then basically you can get twice the result with half the effort.

"Hehe, Yukicho Konishi and Yoshihiro Shimazu are really generous! Leaving me more than a thousand heads, and a large sum of treasure, this general can hardly resist such a temptation! Motioning to Monk Greenqin to take the map, Li Rusong said with a smile.

"You go back and tell Governor Konishi and Shimazu Yoshihiro: With my troops, it is enough to annihilate in one fell swoop, but I can't bear to kill people, so I will retreat and let you live" After speaking, Li Rusong raised his hand and prepared to send off the guest without talking nonsense, looking at his impatient appearance, as if he was about to dig up treasures.

Hearing this, Xiao Xifei was overjoyed, and complimented him for a long time before leaving the Ming army camp to return to his life.

"Brother, did you really kill and let those two waste snacks go? This is a bit of a loss, our original plan is to kill all the devil soldiers, I estimate that the devil soldiers who can move in the stronghold are not to mention 3,000 people" Watching the other party leave, Monk Lingqin asked in a low voice.

"Hehe, who said to let go of this group of devils? With this group of devils, it will be a good mallet! Well, I don't mind tricking them out of the stronghold on their own, I just make sure they're not attacked inside the city, and after they get out of the city! That's not good, North Korea is so chaotic and there are Qinwang troops in various places, how do I know if there will be an army in Ludao to ambush outside the city? Walking back and forth in the tent with a smile, Li Rusong said after thinking for a moment.

"King Monk, you take three thousand men and horses to replace Li Ning, let his men and horses rest immediately, and prepare to leave the city tomorrow morning. You continue to set fires and open fire, toss the devils all night, and then let them leave Pyongyang City tomorrow morning," Li Rusong said with a murderous face, he didn't have a good impression of the devils, and he could kill as many as he could.

Day 2 at noon:

"Whew, finally leave Pyongyang City, Ming people wait! I will definitely make a comeback and kill you all" Looking at the distant Pyongyang City, the head of Konishi Yukicho, who was riding on the horse, breathed a sigh of relief and said viciously.

More than a thousand unkempt devil soldiers, closely following Yukinaga Konishi and Yoshihiro Shimazu, spread their legs and ran desperately, in their opinion, all the disasters were over - in fact, this was just the beginning.

"Kill all the pirates!" Suddenly, there was a roar in the distance, and after a while, an iron cavalry army with black helmets and black armor swept in like a storm, and after a while, they caught up with the devil's troops, and they fought without saying a word.

At this time, the devil soldiers have long lost their previous fighting spirit, and they are all frightened birds and lost dogs. Seeing that an enemy was coming, no one had the courage to stand still and resist, one by one they threw away their armor and ran away with their heads in their hands, and the whole army fled in all directions like a flock of sheep that had blown up their nests.

"Ahh Governor Konishi, who was trying his best to command the soldiers to resist, suddenly let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell directly from the horse, and Li Ning on the side smiled coldly and ordered the soldiers to tie him up, and began to continue to chase and kill the devil.

"It's over, I can't go home again!" Shimazu Yoshihiro said with a dead face, he was surrounded by Zhang Dingbian and Mo Yu, and there was no life or death.

"As I said, no devil can get out of Pyongyang alive, you all have to die!" (To be continued......)
