Chapter 1,047 Crossing the Fuso Strait

"Hehehe."

Seeing Chen Kun's low profile, many famous figures and retainers present sneered. Is this really the case?

Sun Tzu's Art of War of the Han people.

"The best policy is to subdue the enemy's troops without fighting."

Wu Nian ordered General Wang Gui to lead hundreds of thousands of troops and stationed them on Jeju Island, hoarding mountains of military supplies, and prepared to attack Ryukyu and fight bloody battles with Fuso.

But it turned out to be a threat.

Is it to win the diplomatic environment?

If you encounter a weaker general, you may be afraid of the power of the Han army and choose to compromise. After all, the number of stones in Ryukyu is only a few hundred thousand.

The cost of war may be ten times or even a hundred times that of Ryukyu Stone.

To the extent that when two countries confront each other, one country collapses.

The price is too high, and the gain outweighs the loss.

But Toyotomi's first shogun was not weak, but quite strong. Moreover.

They are also very strong.

They are all samurai who fought out from the Warring States Period and reached the peaceful age. Who would be afraid of war?

Some people may have their blood boiling.

Just as most people thought, Toyotomi Daikichi laughed loudly when he heard this, and said to Chen Kun: "Not an inch of my Fuso land is redundant."

"Although Ryukyu is small, it is also Fuso's land. I will not give it to Wu Nian."

"Let's go. If Wu Nian wants Ryukyu, let his army come over. Let's fight. Whoever wins, Ryukyu will be his."

"The general is right. Use your sword to talk to us." Neji Kumamoto put his right hand on the wakizashi at his waist, holding the scabbard, and pulled it out slightly. The blade was shining and very sharp.

"Okay. Now that we have talked about it, there is nothing more to say. Let's meet on the battlefield." Chen Kun's face turned pale, then he stood up, said something loudly, and walked away.

He was like an envoy whose negotiation failed and became angry.

When he turned around, the expression on his face became subtle, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, then he calmed down and strode away expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, your mission has been completed. If General Toyotomi can't figure it out, he will firmly station his army in Kyushu. A sneak attack on the Kyoto Plain will definitely succeed."

Thinking of this, Chen Kun became more and more happy.

Although he was a scholar and a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, civil servants in the Han Dynasty were somewhat fierce. He fully supported Wu Nian's career.

Destroy the enemy and destroy the country, turning your hand into clouds and turning your hand into rain.

I, His Majesty King Jianwu, do the same.

Although Chen Kun left in "humiliation and anger", Toyotomi Daikichi maintained his grace, let Xiao surname come in, politely sent Chen Kun away, and explained.

If Chen Kun leaves immediately, there will be no need to worry about it.

If Chen Kun is leaving tomorrow, then we will arrange a rest at the hotel and entertain him with singing and dancing.

That means properly arranging envoys.

We need to let the people of Han know that we are also a country of etiquette.

After Chen Kun left, Toyotomi Daikichi smiled and said to everyone: "You should have guessed Wu Nian's thoughts, right?"

"This is pure intimidation."

"As the saying goes, it is the best policy to subjugate the enemy without fighting. But on the other hand, doesn't it also prove that Wu Nian felt powerless on the other side of the strait, looking at the rough sea?"

"Besides, Wu Nian is in the north and south, as well as the two powerful countries of Mongolia, Yuan and Chu. He must have some scruples in his heart. This time he is probably bluffing."

"After Chen Kun goes back to report, he should retreat."

"However, just in case, we still need to be more vigilant. Sirs, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Please cheer up."

Toyotomi Daikichi suddenly straightened his chest and abdomen, with a bright light in his eyes, and said loudly.

"Yes." Everyone immediately calmed down, then bent down, put their hands on the tatami, and shouted yes.

"Yeah." Toyotomi Daikichi hummed, then with a smile on his face, he said, "But Wu Nian is still in Jeju Island now, so he is beyond his reach."

"I just came to Higo and I'm very sleepy. Let's have a good drink. Neji-sama. Bring your most beautiful singer here and sing and dance to entertain you."

Toyotomi Daikichi turned to Kumamoto Neji again.

"Yes." Neji Kumamoto responded loudly, then said sorry, stood up and turned around to leave.

"Hahaha. The general is right. Marching on horseback is indeed hard work. I just want the warm embrace of a woman to soothe my fatigue."

"You're right. Beautiful women are the most beautiful things in the world."

Soon after, the sound of singing and dancing rang out in the room.

Toyotomi Daikichi personally visited Kumamoto Castle in Higo Kingdom and confronted the Han army.

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

Jeju Island, which was originally a lively and prosperous port, was occupied by the Han army. Countless ships carried massive amounts of supplies to the port, and were then transported to the military camp by the Han army.

Although the weather is cold, the soldiers and civilians are sweating like rain.

Inside the Chinese military tent.

After hearing Chen Kun's report, Wu Nian nodded gently, with a little joy in his brows. Then he looked at the dusty Chen Kun, waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen. Now go down and rest."

"Yes." After crossing the strait back and forth, Chen Kun was indeed tired. He looked exhausted, bent down and saluted before going down.

As soon as Chen Kun left, Wu Nian asked the imperial guards to assemble the civil and military forces.

Soon after, the governor of Xinqi, Cheng Yulian, and the generals arrived at the Chinese army's tent. After saluting Wu Nian, they each took their seats.

Wu Nian raised his eyes with determination and said with a smile: "Toyotomi Daiki has probably fallen into the trap. We will act according to the plan."

"Li Tianbao, tomorrow you will lead the four generals Dai Quanzhong, Zhang Dianzu, Qian Botao, and Liu Tianfang, and five naval soldiers worth ten thousand households. They will head towards Kyushu Island with great momentum, assuming a decisive battle with the Fuso Navy.

.But don’t actually fight them.”

"Have a small naval battle with them and get entangled with them endlessly."

"Yes." Li Tianbao and the other five cheered up, stood up and responded loudly, then sat back.

"Isshin Matsudaira and the infantry generals will continue to stay on Jeju Island with the others. When General Lee and Toyotomi Daikichi are entangled, they will take a remote route and sneak into Wakasa Country. According to the plan, they will capture the Kyoto Plain."

"I, I, want to sleep peacefully in the palace of Emperor Fuso, who is said to be a descendant of the Eternal Family. I leave it to you, everyone."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Toyotomi Daikichi's Fuso main force is in Kyushu. As long as they get ashore, I and others will be the dragons, just in the Kyoto plain. It doesn't matter."

Lu Liuliang was very heroic. He stood up and raised his right hand to pat his chest, which was very powerful and domineering.

"Okay. General Lu is really a strong man." Wu Nian admired his heroic spirit and nodded happily, praising him.

Immediately, all the civil and military personnel dispersed to get ready. Wu Nian walked out of the tent and looked in the direction of Fusang, looking forward to it with determination.

Although the ocean is vast, it cannot stop my heart.
