Chapter 725 Seoul Strategy Part 1(2/2)
By the way, your grain stores are all in Longshan Granary, right? It's not far from the south city wall. If you think of something, you might be able to set a fire."
Yoshigina Otani had just been comforted by Yukino Konishi to a normal state of mind when he collapsed again!
This is too scary! How did the other party know such a secret as the amount of food stored in one's own side?
Only a few people know this number. It’s impossible for anyone to leak the secret. Even President Konishi doesn’t know!
Lin Tailai urged: "Why are you in a daze again? Can I agree to this condition?"
Otani Yoshitsugi has no intention of negotiating anymore and just wants to return to the city to report!
The general of the other side knows the base of his own food reserves. This in itself is very important information and must be reported back as soon as possible!
Otani Yoshitsugi said anxiously: "I already know your conditions, but I can't make the decision. I need to go back and report to you for instructions."
Lin Tianshuai said extremely impatiently: "It's really troublesome if someone can't make the decision!
Ask President Konishi to accompany you back to the city, and if there are any results, ask President Konishi to come back and let you know!"
Otani Yoshitsugi bowed, said nothing more, and hurried back to the city with Mr. Konishi.
Watching Da Gu leave, Lin Tianshuai reviewed the process of today's negotiation in his mind.
Generally speaking, it is quite satisfactory and can be considered a normal performance. It should be regarded as completing the task of "catching the grass and alerting the snake", right?
He returned to the camp and told Li Rusong about the situation.
General Li said: "If your intelligence from Junmen is accurate, the Japanese pirates will definitely abandon the city and retreat after being frightened like this."
Then he asked uneasily: "Is the information mentioned by the military gate really accurate? Is it true that the Japanese pirates only have two months of food left? Are there really any intention of retreat among the Japanese pirates?"
Lin Tianshuai said eloquently: "If you don't deceive others, the information should be accurate."
General Li: "?"
What is "another self"? Do you want to talk about philosophy?
In the time and space of the previous life, anyone who has watched a little bit of the Wanli and Renchen War will have an impression of the recapture of Seoul, and will be confused if they think about it carefully.
Historically, General Li's battle report was: In early March, he burned down the Japanese pirates' Longshan warehouse, burned hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates' grain stores, and then the Japanese pirates fled from Seoul.
However, according to records, according to General Li's battle report, the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates who had lost all their supplies in early March did not retreat from Seoul until mid-to-late April.
From the comparison, it can be inferred that General Li mobilized his family's artistic roots and decisively boasted in the battle report.
The real situation is probably that in mid-to-late April, tens of thousands of Seoul Japanese pirates were worried about food and grass problems and took the initiative to retreat from Seoul.
It happened that General Li had previously carried out certain sabotage work against the Japanese pirates Longshancang, and then he naturally took the credit for retreating the Japanese pirates and regaining Seoul.
Based on this information, it can be inferred that now, in early March, the actual food reserves of the Japanese pirates in Seoul can probably last for two months at most.
Therefore, historically, the Japanese pirates in Seoul took the initiative to retreat until mid- to late April.
Why did Lin Tianshuai delay his attack on Seoul until March? Apart from other reasons, another important reason was that he wanted to be as consistent with the original history as possible so that it would be easier to deduce the relevant data of the Japanese pirates.
Not long after, President Konishi returned from Seoul and brought back the latest news.
"Ishida Harubu Mitsunari said that it will take some time to think about the conditions and convince Kobayakawa Takakage, Fukushima Masanori and other main militant groups.
After two days, we will hold negotiations again at the Muhua Pavilion, hoping that Duke Jinglue will also slightly relax the terms of the peace negotiation in order to facilitate the peace negotiation."
Lin Tailai and Li Rusong looked at each other. This reply seemed very reasonable and flawless.
But if you believe in the character of the Japanese pirates, you should have thought that it would take two days to prepare for the escape?
Is the resumption of negotiations after two days a delaying tactic and a cover for hiding the truth?
Li Rusong said: "No matter what, we must continue to trouble the military to attend the negotiations to avoid the Japanese pirates becoming suspicious."
Brother, you can talk slowly with the Japanese pirates then. Brother, I will go kill the enemy and perform meritorious service!
