Chapter 1068 Iga Ninja

Although Toyotomi Daikichi asked, the samurai outside the door did not answer immediately. He knelt down on one knee first, with both knees on the ground. After taking a deep breath, he sweated like rain and said: "Your Majesty the General.

News comes. The Han army has landed in Wakasa country. The army has at least 50,000 households. It has occupied Wakasa country and sent troops to attack Kyoto."

"What did you say?" Toyotomi Daikichi's body stiffened for an instant, then his eyes turned sharp, and he clenched his hands tightly.

"Ah!!!!" the maid in his arms screamed. Toyotomi Daikichi threw the maid away, and without repenting of his hatred, he slapped the maid so hard that her face was swollen.

"Go away." Toyotomi Daikichi yelled.

"Yes." Although the maid was naked, she was more afraid of Toyotomi Taiji's cruelty. She responded with a cry, wrapped herself in a sheet and left.

The warriors at the door turned a blind eye to the maid.

"The story in the historical records. The plank road was built openly and the Chencang was crossed secretly. It was calculated." Toyotomi Daikichi was the hero after all. He quickly calmed down, sat cross-legged on the bed, and sighed.

What a victory.

What joy. It has disappeared long ago.

The naval battle in Kyushu was won ten times, so what if it was won a hundred times? The Han army had invaded Wakasa Kingdom, and its troops were heading straight for Kyoto.

Toyotomi Daikichi exhaled, with a look of determination on his face. He clenched his fist with his right hand, punched the bed hard, and said loudly: "To protect the name of the samurai family, we must defend Kyoto."

"Summon all the great names immediately."

Immediately, Toyotomi Daikichi stood up and gave an order loudly.

"Yes." The samurai in front of the door responded and immediately turned around and went down. A moment later, a samurai with clean clothes came in and helped Toyotomi Daikichi put on his clothes.

Toyotomi Daikichi led a group of samurai back to the room where they had had a banquet.

Not long after, the daimyo arrived one after another, and after bowing to Toyotomi, they each took their seats. The daimyo all knew the news, and their faces were very solemn.

The daimyo whose territory is on the Kyoto Plain are even more anxious.

Toyotomi Daikichi glanced at the great names and sighed. The place was still the same as before, and the people were still the same people drinking together.

But the atmosphere is very different.

"Kumamoto Neiji. You stay in Kyushu, command a navy of 60,000, and fight against Li Tianbao."

"The rest of the navy, led by Saito Ikemo, went to Wakasa Country to cut off the Han army's retreat."

"I personally led the infantry to Kyoto."

Toyotomi Daikichi gave the order without any ink. Then he stood up and said to the daimyo with a serious face: "My lords, the Han army on the shore is like a fierce tiger."

"Now we have fallen into the Han army's trick and been tricked by Wu Nian."

"Don't be careless anymore."

"If Fusang is attacked and destroyed by the Han army, according to the Han army's attitude towards Goguryeo, our Wu family will be in doom."

"My lords, we are betting on the future of Wumen. We must defeat the Han army in the Kyoto Plain."

At the end of the speech, Toyotomi Daichi suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, veins appeared on his forehead, and his voice was fierce.

"Yes." All the famous people responded in unison, then bent down and kowtowed, then turned and walked away together.

The matter is urgent.

There is no time to make full preparations. I can only make some preparations now and set off tomorrow.

The sequelae of Toyotomi Daikichi's drunkenness showed up. He felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. He quickly sat back slowly and smiled bitterly.

"You are getting old after all."

Then, he said to himself: "I hope it's not too late."

If Kyoto is captured, the emperor will be captured.

That's really unimaginable.

All Fuso's elite warriors, commanded by Toyotomi Daikichi, did not just stay in Kumamoto Castle, but were scattered throughout Kyushu.

Toyotomi Daikichi has already sent people to notify the troops in other places.

The elite Toyotomi troops in Kumamoto Castle set out on the road to Kyoto early the next morning after a night of preparation.

But it's not easy.

Between spring and summer, there was abundant rain. There were many mountains in Fuso and the roads were muddy. Toyotomi Daikichi led an army of more than 100,000 people and set out from Kumamoto Castle. After a difficult march, they crossed the sea and reached Honshu Island.

Then there was another difficult march before we reached Osaka Castle.

Osaka Castle.

It has a pivotal position in the entire Fuso, and is currently the direct territory of the Toyotomi family. It has a strong, huge, and beautiful castle, as well as a prosperous castle town.

Kyoto was captured and the emperor became a prisoner of the Han army.

News about King Wu Nian of Han personally landing in Fuso had spread. However, the castle town of Osaka Castle was still busy with traffic and noisy.

Civilians should do whatever they are supposed to do.

As the news spread, the news that the Han army had committed no crime against the civilian Qiu also spread throughout Osaka City. If this is the case, why panic?

Almost all of the samurai patrolling the castle town had serious expressions on their faces.

Ronins eager to fight and make a comeback also gathered in the castle town from all directions.

Osaka Castle, inside the castle tower.

Toyotomi Daikichi sat cross-legged on the main seat with a serious look on his face. In front of him, on both sides, were kneeling daimyo.

The atmosphere inside the castle tower was very solemn.

The emperor's capture was a huge blow to the samurai group.

Wu Nian is personally in charge of Kyoto, which is a huge threat to the samurai.

"Unexpectedly. Wu Niangui was the king of Han, but he dared to cross the sea and come to Fusang. He even killed Hidenobu Honda."

Toyotomi Daikichi sighed, shook his head and said.

"What should we do now?" Immediately, Toyotomi Daikichi took a deep breath and asked. His eyes fell on the important minister Katakura Kageju.

Katakura Kageju already had a countermeasure in mind. He bent down and saluted, "Sir General, Wu Nian is known as the Tiger of Liaodong, and he also killed Hidenobu Honda."

"He was able to destroy Goguryeo and fight with the Mongolians for many years. He is truly powerful."

"According to the Han people, he is comparable to Xiang Yu. Such a powerful enemy. Although we are fighting in Fusang, we cannot confront him head-on."

"And he is now dividing his troops to guard the surrounding areas of the Kyoto Plain to stabilize his territory."

"Although I am victorious, I am walking very steadily."

After increasing Wu Nian's prestige, Katakura Keju said very pragmatically: "This is based on the strategy of not confronting Wu Nian head-on."

"We first disperse the armies of the daimyo, and let the daimyo whose territories are around the Kyoto Plain return to their own territories to manage and defend them. We have many castles, and most of them are built on traffic thoroughfares, and they all have military value. This way

It can block Wu Nian’s path to outward expansion.”

"The navy cut off Wu Nian's connection with the mainland of Han. It also banned the import of rice, iron ore, etc. into the Kyoto Plain, trapping Wu Nian to death."

"Second, His Majesty the Emperor was unfortunately captured. The General should firmly affirm that His Majesty the Emperor was killed by Wu Nian. Then establish a new emperor to take the political initiative."

"Third, please send the Iga ninjas, the shogun, to destroy these castle towns on the Kyoto plains."
