Chapter 259: Hideyoshi's Messenger
Oda Nobunaga's invitation was declined. Cao Cao and the others did not leave immediately, but stationed themselves on the shore.
"Prime Minister, are you waiting for someone?" Sima Yi stood beside Cao Cao and asked cautiously.
"It's waiting for someone. However, Lone doesn't know who it will be? This person will not be Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but he will be his confidant, the person he relies on the most. Cao Cao shook his neck and took a deep breath.
"Prime Minister, please forgive Weichen for daring to ask. What kind of person do you think Toyotomi Hideyoshi is? Why did he end up being one of the three masters? Sima Yi had ambivalent feelings about Toyotomi Hideyoshi, admiring him and doubting him.
"Zhongda! You have the look of an eagle and a wolf, and Hideyoshi looks like a monkey, and he has one more finger than a normal person.
He was not born well, he came from a poor peasant family. But he didn't give up on himself because of his birth. His early wanderings made him aware of the people's sufferings and what they really wanted.
It can be said that this man's luck is particularly good, and it seems that fate is always in his favor. Otherwise, why didn't he choose to join the Oda clan if the Saito, Takeda, and Asakura clans instead?
When he first joined, he was just a ashigaru, the lowest-ranking infantryman. But by chance, when he handed over the hot shoes in his arms to Oda Nobunaga, his fate began to change significantly.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was appreciated, participated in the Battle of Barrel Sasama after receiving the position of head of the Ashigaru group. This battle allowed Oda Nobunaga to eliminate the concerns of the east, and also caused the Imagawa family to collapse from then on.
Due to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's outstanding performance in this battle, Nobunaga's respect and trust in him further increased. When it came time to defeat Saito Yoshiryu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's talent was brought into full play.
After the plan to build Sumamata Castle failed in succession by Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was ordered to do so. With the help of Masakatsu Wasuka, he built the castle in one night. For this reason, Sumata Castle is also called One Night Castle.
After that, there was an incident in Mino where Takenaka Hanbei took Inabayama Castle with 17 horsemen. And so on, Takenaka Half-Guard, Takenaka Shigeji. Cao Cao's expression changed suddenly, as if he had thought of something.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" Sima Yizheng listened with relish, how could he have thought that Cao Cao suddenly interrupted his speech.
"Lone knows who the person he sent is, and only he will reassure him!" Cao Cao stood up and exhaled a turbid breath to keep himself awake as much as possible.
"Cao Cao is Cao Cao, and it is my honor to meet you." The voice is clear and loud, although there is no one in sight, it can be imagined that the temperament of the person who speaks must be extraordinary.
Suddenly there was a burst of smoke, and a hazy figure slowly walked out of the smoke. He held a fan in one hand and a back in the other, and his long hair fluttered in the wind behind him.
"Zhongda, your opponent has appeared. His cunning is not below you! Cao Cao was delighted with the appearance of Shigeharu Takenaka. He is a legend, a strange man comparable to the Wolong and the Phoenix.
"Sima Yi, you are one of the people I admire, if only Zhuge Liang could come, I will definitely humbly ask him for advice." Shigeharu Takenaka walked out of the fog. It's just that although his first impression has a dusty temperament, his faint morbidity will still make people feel pity.
"Takenaka Chongzhi, Kong Ming is also a person that I respect Sima Zhongda. For that, you and I can have a discussion. It's not that I'm boasting, but in this world, it can be said that I am the only one who understands Kong Ming. ”
I deny that, because the one who knows him best is his enemy. How many years you have fought against Kong Ming, you can also figure out how many years he has. Without him, there would be no you, and without you, there would be no Shu Han. ”
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Cao Cao felt very comfortable. It is really not easy for a Dongying person to say such pertinent words. It's just that compared to him, Sima Yi knows a lot less about him.
It is true that the Celestial Empire is superior, but we must not rest on our laurels and be blindly arrogant. Although Dongying is small, it does not mean that it does not produce talented people. A person who can make a name for himself in history, even if he only lives on an isolated island, has his great place.
"Lonely, let's call you a half-guard! It's kinder. I've read your story in a book alone, and I think it's amazing. However, God is jealous of the talent, so you died at thirty-six. Your early death reminds Lone of his own sons and grandsons.
Ay! The most important thing in this life is one's own body. The body is not good, everything is empty. Lone's body is not very good, and headaches often accompany Lonely. I think that Hua Tuo told Gu that he wanted to open his head, but Gu didn't dare. ”
"What the prime minister said is very true. After reliving my life, I found that the hidden diseases in my body were gone, and I became more energetic. It's just that in this life, I don't understand, why does God still let me be a military advisor? ”
"It turns out that the rumors are true, you don't actually want to be a military advisor, but want to be a great citizen. A daimyo who holds real power and is in charge of one side. Hehe, maybe that's where your depression lies.
The body is easy to collapse if the heart is stagnant, the brain is overused, the body does not pay attention to nutrition and exercise, and does not release the pressure accumulated by itself. This may be the source of your illness.
Hanbei, the reason why you are like this in the first place is because you were too smart to ignore one thing. Let Lone say this now, and you will instantly understand,
You must know that Hideyoshi is Nobunaga's retainer, and Hideyoshi's ability is obvious to all. And as a sovereign, he can't let the strength of his retainers override himself.
At that time, Hideyoshi's strength was already very strong, and if he supported the people around him again, once Hideyoshi was against him, what would Nobunaga do?
If you take refuge in Nobunaga instead of Hideyoshi, perhaps your fate will take a turn and the daimyo's wish may come true.
As a superior, you must know the art of imperial power, otherwise, you will not be a qualified superior. Your relationship with Hideyoshi is good, but the better the relationship, the more it can't withstand this little crack. ”
"I see what you mean. Thank you for your teachings. I would like to convey to you Hideyoshi's words, which may make you feel unhappy after listening to them, so please bear with me. ”
"It's okay, you say! Didn't he also formulate crazy ideas for continental expansion in the past? ”
A quarter of an hour later, Shigeharu Takenaka left under the watchful eyes of Cao Cao and Sima Yi. Without saying much, Cao Cao waved his hand and asked his entourage to board the ship immediately.
"Prime Minister, is Toyotomi Hideyoshi too arrogant? Didn't he see the facts before him? Back on the boat, Sima Yi couldn't wait.
"To precede a man's destruction must first make him mad. If he didn't do this, it wouldn't be Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Don't take it to heart, it's all in Lone's hands. ”
