President Konishi said: "I see that your son is very strong and brave, and has made up his mind to live and die with Shimayama Castle in order to repay Taikaku's kindness.
I believe his reputation for loyalty and bravery will spread in the future, and your Asano family has given birth to a good son and grandson!"
Asano Nagamasa: ""
Tokugawa Ieyasu interrupted President Konishi's state-of-the-art behavior and asked: "Are you just delivering a message this time?"
Governor Konishi replied: "Of course I have a mission. The Commander-in-Chief sent me to ask Danaya if he still wants to fight together?
If Da Nayan has no intention of sending troops, then he will first mobilize his troops to conquer Daoshan City."
Tokugawa Ieyasu replied without any emotion: "Thanks to Lin Jingluo for your kind care, but I cannot tell outsiders in detail how I use my troops."
No matter how provocative you are, Tianshuai, I will always put myself first.
At this time, a very troubled look appeared on Mr. Konishi's face, and he said hesitantly: "Actually, I still have some news about the Ming army. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "As long as it is news about the Ming army, there is nothing that cannot be said."
President Konishi said: "Yesterday I went to see Commander Tian, ​​and when I walked outside the tent, I overheard the conversation between Commander Tian and Commander-in-Chief Ma Gui.
They said that the 20,000 men of the Ming Dynasty Navy should soon arrive in the southeastern sea and may land at Xishengpo."
Everyone in the enclosure was moved. Their 40,000 soldiers and horses came from the direction of Xishengpu! If the Ming Navy landed at Xishengpu, it would be equivalent to cutting off their retreat!
Tokugawa Ieyasu always felt that this scene looked familiar. In the Three Kingdoms, there was not only Sima Yi, but also Jiang Qian stealing books!
You, Lin Tailai, use the allusions of the Three Kingdoms endlessly, right?
Then Tokugawa Ieyasu felt a deep pain in his balls. This kind of news that did not know whether it was true or false would only make people more upset.
He couldn't help but question: "Is the news true or false? Did Lin Tailai let you hear it on purpose?"
President Konishi said very irresponsibly: "How did I know this? I just heard a few words."
Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but look at Shimazu Yoshihiro, the leader of Satsuma Domain, what do you have in mind?
Kyushu Island has always been the window for Japan's "external exchanges", and Kyushu Island's Satsuma Domain has been an old comprador for hundreds of years, and has a relatively better understanding of foreign situations.
Shimazu Yoshihiro frowned and said: "Today, the main trading seaport of the Ming Dynasty is in the southeastern province of Fujian, which is a region further away than Ningbo.
Therefore, the elite of the Ming Dynasty Navy are also in Fujian, and in more than half a year from last year to this year, enough Fujian Navy arrived."
Tokugawa Ieyasu continued: "If it is really possible that the Ming Dynasty navy will arrive, then our army should retreat in time to avoid being annihilated by the enemy from the back and rear."
Asano Nagamasa had a different view, "If the navy news is true, then why would Lin Tailai need to leak it, and why would he need to keep challenging it?
Da Nayan, you have been standing still. Isn't that in line with Lin Tailai's wishes?
If there is a navy that is about to land, Lin Tailai doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the navy to land and outflank it!
Therefore, it should be that Lin Tai came to see Dana Yan and could not stand out. He could not find an opportunity to take advantage of it. He expected that there was no hope of defeating our army but did not want to continue to waste it.
He deliberately released the news about the navy to induce our army to retreat voluntarily, and then the Ming army could attack Daoshan City with all its strength without any worries."
If it hadn't been for a moment of complete despair, Asano Nagamasa would definitely not have given up on Shimayama Castle so easily, not only because his son was there, but also because there were a large number of direct descendants of the Toyotomi family there.
Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "Even if the news about the Ming Navy was deliberately released by Lin Tailai, it does not mean that it is definitely false news.
As the Art of War goes, what is true is false, and what is false is true. With Lin Tailai's cunningness, it is very possible that he released true news, but made us think it was false news."
Asano Nagamasa retorted: "Whether we hold on or retreat, can we win?
If just because of a rumor, the 40,000-strong army immediately gave up the rescue of Daoshan City and retreated directly, wouldn't it become a laughing stock in the world?
If you are worried that the Ming Dynasty navy will be attacked from the front and back due to the Ming Dynasty's landing at Xishengpo, in addition to retreating, there is another way to solve the problem!
That is to attack head-on, defeat Lin Tailai in front of you as quickly as possible, and relieve the crisis in Daoshan City!
In this way, even if 10,000 to 20,000 Ming naval forces land in the rear afterwards, what can they do to me?"
Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was the first to analyze, remained silent and listened to the two people's heated debate in silence.
Tachibana Munesege, the lord of the Yanagawa Domain who never spoke, initially felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu's words were reasonable, and later felt that Asano Nagamasa's words also made some sense.
Listening to both sides' arguments over and over again, the CPU in my brain is almost burning.
Governor Konishi, who had been ignored for a long time, couldn't help but said: "I, the envoy of the Ming Army, haven't left yet, so you are openly discussing the next step of action in front of me. Is that okay?"
