In the city of Isshiki.

The treasury and granaries were emptied. However, in the kitchen rice jar of the retainer mansion of the Isshiki family, some rice and food were left.

The Han army collected these things. The Han army was also quickly extinguished, and Heihachiro Yamamoto set the fire. The whole castle was not damaged too much.

This time, Lu Liuliang brought enough food and grass for three months, a large number of arrows, and a small number of spare weapons.

Under the command of the officers, the soldiers of the Han army put these military supplies into the granaries and treasury, and sent people to guard them strictly.

A large number of soldiers stood on the city wall, and everyone was in high spirits and very vigilant.

Inside the castle tower.

Lu Liuliang was dressed in armor and sat on a small bench. Below him is a thousand households, ten hundred households, and Heihachiro Yamamoto.

The officers were quite calm, and Heihachiro Yamamoto's face was pale, as if he was in mourning.

Lu Liuliang exhaled and said in a deep voice: "Everyone. It's already clear that we've hit the nail on the head. ”

"If Toyotomi Daikichi wants to destroy us, it's okay to set up an ambush on the road. But he let the Isshiki family give up Isshiki City. Let's come in. Prove that he wants more. The biggest possibility is to fence us off. Attract the king to the rescue. ”

"That is, to create a fence point to send reinforcements."

Speaking of this, Lu Liuliang smiled bitterly and said, "It's unfortunate. The terrain around is very complex. It will be difficult for the king to send troops to rescue us. Even if troops are sent, I'm afraid it will ......"

Lu Liuliang shook his head again, since Toyotomi Dajibu has set up this formation, he must be prepared. With the courage of the king, he could have gone on a rampage.

But this is a mountainous and forested area, and the terrain is complex. Moreover, the Han army has no people's base here, and it is difficult to accurately know the movement of the Toyotomi army by relying on the intelligence of the Wind Demon Ninja alone.

If the king leads a large army into the mountains and forests, it will be like a blind cat. If you are surrounded by the Toyotomi army, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die.

"We have to be prepared to die here. Rest assured. The king will take care of our family. ”

Lu Liuliang said in a deep voice.

The officers were open-minded. A hundred households raised his head and said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to say anything. How can a soldier be afraid of death? ”

"We are fighting in Fuso, which is extremely risky. Now this situation is also expected. ”

"As for the bereavement pension. I have a deep understanding of the king's kindness to the army. ”

Although he is not a Han Chinese, he has a sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty in his heart. Don't say anything else, King Han is really good to the army.

They all eat the emperor's grain, and he doesn't regret it when he gives his life to King Han.

"Yes. If it were another emperor, a king. It is very good to have five of the war death pensions for the soldiers to be given to their families. Here in the King of Han, it is not only rich, but it can all go to the hands of the family. Now that I'm dying here, I don't have to worry about my wife and children's lives. ”

"That's right. We are not afraid of death when we fight in the army. ”

The officers were talking, morale was high.

Only Heihachiro Yamamoto's face was getting worse and worse, and he was sweating like rain.

"Good." Lu Liuliang's eyes were slightly moist, and after taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice: "Since it is guessed that Toyotomi Daiji is encircling the point to send reinforcements, then he will definitely allow us to send the news out." ”

"I immediately sent for the king to tell him. Let the king not come and save us. ”

"We will defend until the food is eaten up, and we will either go out of the city and die in the Fusang army, or burn the city of Yise, be buried in the fire, and never surrender to the Fusang people."

"Okay." The officers nodded heavily, without any hesitation.

"Good." Lu Liuliang nodded, then turned his head to look at Heihachiro Yamamoto, his face and tone were not as gentle as just now, and he said very sternly: "Mr. Yamamoto." How many retainers, clansmen, and soldiers do you have? ”

"Please don't hide it."

Heihachiro Yamamoto immediately understood that this was to allow Yamamoto to participate in the defense of the city and live and die with the Han army. His mouth was bitter, and his heart was extremely reluctant, but he had to say: "Return to the general." The Yamamoto family had six samurai and sixty soldiers. ”

"Good. It is temporarily compiled into a hundred households. Mr. 100 households. Lu Liuliang said.

"Yes." Heihachiro Yamamoto responded bitterly.

Although he made a guess, Lu Liuliang still hoped that he had guessed wrong. Immediately, he arranged the task of defending the city, and asked about taking care of the family members of the Yamamoto clan.

After the arrangements were made, he went to the bright bedroom to rest. But when he lay down, he tossed and turned, like a man on his back.

Finally staying up until dawn, Lu Liuliang hurriedly ate breakfast, put on armor, climbed to the top of the castle tower, and looked around.

And then unsurprisingly.

Lu Liuliang saw a number of troops appearing in the mountains, some of them chose to be stationed on the top of the mountain, and some were stationed on the road.

Fuso's army appeared unabashedly around Isshiki Castle. But a passage was deliberately left, and the meaning is obvious.

Send someone to the rescue.

Lu Liuliang took a deep breath, and then sighed again.

"O king. King. The minister is incompetent, and he has caused you trouble. After saying a word to himself, Lu Liuliang shook his spirits, turned around and said loudly to his own soldiers: "People always die." And dying on the battlefield is the glory of the general. ”

The soldiers bowed their heads in respect.

Before the matter was decided, Lu Liuliang tossed and turned. The matter has been clarified, and Lu Liuliang has let it go.

After standing on the top floor of the castle tower for a while, he became sleepy. Let the thousands of households under his command command command the battle, and he went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

The Fuso people wanted to encircle the point and send reinforcements, so naturally they did not storm Isshiki City.

From day to night, the two sides were tense, but they were peaceful.

...............

Osaka Castle.

in one room. Toyotomi Daikichi stood up excitedly and said, "Very good." Since the general Lu Liuliang has been deceived. ”

"If Wu Nian doesn't save Lu Liuliang, it will chill the other generals of the Han army."

"If Wu Nian goes to save Lu Liuliang, it will be a big fish that he hit in the fishing net."

"No matter what. Wu Nian was wrong. ”

In front of Toyotomi Daikichi, Keizai Katakura, who was kneeling on the ground, also had a happy face.

"Jing X. Send someone to tell the generals at the front. Let them be certain, must be careful. Can't spoil this great opportunity. ”

Toyotomi Daikichi's excited mood gradually calmed down, and with a solemn look on his face, he ordered.

"Yes." Katakura Keiju bent down and said yes loudly, then quickly stood up and went down briskly.

Toyotomi Daikichi alone, once again became excited. He pulled out the folding fan on his waist and hit him on the thigh.

"Wu Nian. Wu Nian. Fuso is my turf. Whether it's the terrain, or the intelligence, or the hearts and minds, it's all here. ”

"Although you have the upper hand, I am still stronger."
