Chapter 154: Wrong Signal

"I don't think it's right, Kurata-kun, the people of the Ming Kingdom have mobilized people to come to Satsuma, you have seen the fleet, they can't just look for things in the Satsuma Domain."

Ueyama Heiji is a rare smart person, but his boss Kurada Heimasa has lived in officialdom for a long time and is used to seeing some things, so he is extremely cautious in handling things.

"I know what you said," Kurata was pacing back and forth in the house, "but you must be clear that the shogunate has repeatedly decreed that unless a major incident occurs, all life and death of the Satsuma Domain will be developed by them." ”

Ueyama Heiji was a little speechless, but he was clear about this matter, and the shogunate had always been wary of the Satsuma Domain, but the current situation was dangerous to the whole of Japan: "I still look at things with old eyes, so many years, hey..."

Seeing this, Kurada Heimasa said: "Now that it is under the dual co-rule, the world has become much clearer, and at this time, if we report that things have changed in the past, let's wait for the catastrophe to come." ”

"You can't do nothing, can you?"

Kurata nodded: "What you said makes sense, I am going to send a letter to Hizen Province and ask them to monitor the Satsuma Domain, if there is any change in the people of the Ming Kingdom, it is not too late to make a decision." ”

"That's all it can be."

...

"In fact, when the samurai of the Wa Kingdom are ready to go, they are not garbage."

Chen Cao said this sentence surrounded by all the generals, of course, this word naturally could not be heard by the Japanese people.

"Sanada Yukimura is the general general, Shimazu Tadharo is the deputy general, and he leads 20,000 people as the vanguard to open the way for our army."

Liao Yaowen, the translator, is still working part-time to deliver messages on both sides: "Master Hou, what do you think? ”

Chen Cao patted the snow on his body: "Mind my, if they actively cooperate with us, it's fine, if they dare to make any moths, once they leak a flaw, Lao Tzu will even do it with them." ”

Generals: "......"

"The order goes down, Song Che led the headquarters of the third division to stay in the city, and the rest of the people all marched, and Ben Hou wanted to beat this group of arrogant and arrogant people with the force of a lion fighting a rabbit."

"Yes..."

...

The son of Kiyohide Takagi, one of the twelve Tokugawa gods, became the daimyo of Higo Province 20 years later.

Mizujo Castle, which borders the Satsuma Domain in Higo Province, has a garrison of 5,000 people because of the defense of the Satsuma Domain, not counting the Nabejo Castle behind him, which also shows how serious their defense of the Satsuma Domain is, not to mention that it is still the same under the prosperity of the Tokugawa Dynasty.

The lord of Mizutiao Castle is Takagi Kiyoji's confidant Nagasawa Yasujin, and this person also participated in the Korean War back then, and he was the person Takagi Kiyohide specially left for Takagi Kiyoji before his death.

Fifty-seven-year-old Yasushi Nagasawa was having breakfast in the castle tower of Mizujo Castle, after all, it was the first heavy snow on Kyushu Island since the beginning of winter.

"It looks like the snow won't stop for another month."

"My lord, this is a spy from the front line."

Nagasawa Yasuke took the secret report from the close minister's hand, read it for a while, and then sneered: "The arrogant Kagoshima people are now in a fight. ”

The close minister took the secret report and looked at it, and then exclaimed: "The whole army is annihilated? Lord, will the spies ahead exaggerate? ”

Nagasawa Anjin wiped his beard with a handkerchief, and then pushed the breakfast table: "They don't have the guts, besides, why do they need to talk nonsense in this kind of thing?" ”

The minister nodded: "What the lord said is reasonable, but before the Satsuma clan came to ask for help?" ”

"Don't bother, the lord's task is to prevent the Satsuma clan from sitting big, what do we have to do?"

Saying that, Nagasawa looked at the heavy snow outside: "It's really good, if the Satsuma Domain collapses this time, it will be the day when the lord will show his strength, as long as I help the lord to make a big contribution to the matter of the Satsuma Domain, I will no longer have to stay in this sinful Shuitiao City in the future." ”

No matter how heavy the snow is, if the opponent has the heart, it can still catch the enemy off guard.

"In the battle of Salhu, our army was lost under the heavy snow."

Chen Cao's nagging words were heard in Sun Chuanting's ears, and the guy immediately felt very unlucky: "Master Hou began to talk nonsense again, which was clearly the result of the commanders of various departments underestimating the enemy's rash advance. ”

Chen Cao also said that he was a joke, so he opened the topic: "We can only arrive in Shuitiao City tomorrow, and every time it snows, we will never use swords and soldiers in the country, and they also feel that the snow is unlucky." ”

Sun Chuanting rode on the war horse, and he still agreed with the war horse wrapping the horse's hooves: "The heavy snow is also a good cover for us, so that those arrogant and arrogant Japanese people will definitely not defend it strictly, and it is only a matter of time before our army takes the Feihou country." ”

"The country is good..."

Chen Cao sighed, then rode his horse and continued to move forward, and Zhao Xin behind him immediately rode his horse close to Sun Chuanting: "Does Lord Sun know what's good about this country?" ”

"How do I know?" Sun Chuanting stared at Zhao Xin like a fool.

Zhao Xin smiled: "Woman, Lord Sun doesn't know, last night the Shimazu clan sent four women who warmed the quilt to Hou Ye, good guy..."

"Ahem..."

Chen Cao coughed twice, and Zhao Xin didn't continue.

Sanada Yukimura and Shimazu Tadaura marched at the front of the team, and the young Shimazu Tadaro was still a little unrelieved that he was still an enemy the day before yesterday and became teammates the next day, if it weren't for the righteousness of the old general in front of him, he even felt that the rumors in the past were false.

"My lord," Shimazu Tadaro couldn't hold back any longer, and asked Sanada Yukimura, who was in a horse position in front of him, "Is it true that the Lord almost entered Ieyasu's main camp in the Osaka Summer Formation?" ”

Sanada Yukimura didn't speak, maybe it was years of experience that made him less talkative, but the more this happened, the more Shimazu Tadaro felt energetic.

"Actually, the ones who died were all adult shadow warriors, didn't they? It is already unbelievable that an adult can kill a distance of ten steps from Ieyasu's main camp with hundreds of Sanada retainers, and I often hear those storytellers talk about the deeds of adults. ”

Miyoshi Masayasu looked impatient, as a confidant of Sanada Yukimura, only a few Sanada retainers survived that year, but he was the only one who evacuated with Sanada Yukimura, and those who died were his siblings: "Under the defeat, what kind of bravery do you talk about?" ”

Miyoshi Masayasu's words made Shimazu Tadaro even more energetic, so he rode a horse to Sanada Yukimura's side: "My lord, it is rumored that before you entered Osaka, you were just a coward who was afraid of things in the local area?" ”

"Bastard..."Miyoshi Masayasu was angry right away.

"Enough..."

Sanada Yukimura, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, stopped Miyoshi Masayasu's next move, and then turned his head to look at Shimazu Tadashi beside him: "Shimazu Yoshihiro didn't talk so much nonsense back then, but he was just less decisive in major matters." ”

Shimazu Tadaro didn't hear Sanada Yukimura's words, but his retainer Hatano heard it, and he was a little unhappy, but because of Sanada Yukimura's current identity, he didn't say that word: "Lord, let's talk less, it's cold, and it's not good to heal if you inhale the cold..."

Sanada Yukimura turned his head to look at Hatano who had something to say, and then he smiled for the first time, but it was a sneer: "Ieyasu was so frightened that he saw Ben kill back then, and at that time, you were still a child..."

Hatano immediately leaned over on his horse and apologized to Sanada Yukimura.

Seeing this, Shimazu Tadaro also bowed: "It's rude." ”

"Yes..."Sanada Yukimura sighed, and then looked at the falling snowflakes: "After the Winter Formation, our army has already had the advantage, but there are always so many people who are afraid of death in a team, and they actually did not take the opportunity to take Ieyasu's army in one go, but negotiated peace with Ieyasu and gave them a chance to breathe, boy, do you know that during the Winter Formation that year, the Toyotomi family could mobilize nearly 100,000 troops?" ”

How did he know about this kind of thing, it sounded more and more interesting, but he had been taught a lesson just now, and he didn't dare to make it again at the moment, so he could only listen to what Sanada Yukimura said.

"Those who are asking for peace really deserve to die, if you make up your mind to fight them to the death in Omi after the Winter Battle, hehe..."

The past is unbearable to look back on, and Sanada Yukimura stopped talking about it, and Shimazu Tadaro also had some understanding of what happened back then under the guidance of Hatano.

"Lord General..."A cavalryman rode his horse, rushed to the side of the horse in Sanada Yukimura and dismounted and knelt on one knee: "Lord Qiyu, Lord Mingguo has sent a message, they want to rest on the spot, and order the Lord General to set off first." ”

Shimazu Tadaura looked at Sanada Yukimura: "Lord Yukimura, they clearly want us to die first." ”

Sanada Yukimura nodded: "Go back and tell Lord Dingwu that our army will set off first to clear the way for him to clear the snow." ”

After speaking, he looked at Miyoshi Masaysu beside him: "The lord has just returned, and the Shimazu family has returned to the family, so we should also show sincerity." ”

Although Miyoshi Zhengkang chose to assassinate Chen Cao at that time, but fortunately, the opponent's guards were stronger than his own, otherwise there was really nothing to do with them, and now that he thinks about it, the lord's choice is also right: "Lord, the first battle will come from the end." ”

Sanada Yukimura nodded and smiled: "Kai Ziduo warrior, Zhongheng once said in front of the world that I am the first soldier in Japan, and only I am alive, right?" Hahaha, the three good families must also have warriors who are the best in China. ”

Miyoshi Masaysu was greatly encouraged when he heard this, and bowed down to Sanada Yukimura: "My subordinates take the first step." ”

...

There is a dense forest in front of Shuitiao Castle, and there are many people who belong to Higo Province living around, and the heavy snow closes the mountains and roads, and it is absolutely impossible to hunt at this time, and it is absolutely impossible to hunt at this time, and what survives is the grain harvested before the winter and the game stored as much as possible.

"It's really hard..."

After hearing the sound of horses and chaotic footsteps, an old man turned back to his wife and said, "The adults in the city are still going out of the city to run errands at this time, and the benevolence of Your Excellency the general is still good for our people..."
