Chapter 1,069 Dilemma

Most of the daimyo couldn't help but nodded.

They were all daimyo from the Warring States Period, and they were generally very talented. They immediately felt how sophisticated Katakura Kageju was.

The Kyoto plain is flat, but beyond it are steep mountains. Wu Nian divided his troops to defend in dangerous positions, hoping to hold on to his base.

It is difficult to attack. Even if you attack the Han army, you may not be able to win.

It would be better to blockade the area outside the Kyoto Plain.

Then send ninjas to destroy it internally.

With time and effort, the Han army was slowly disintegrated.

Toyotomi Daikichi's eyebrows showed joy and he was about to agree.

At this moment. Toyotomi Daimyo, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the second best general in the world, was like the sun, a man who could not be ignored.

Ii Naobi suddenly said: "Although Master Jingju's strategy is sound, it does damage the spirit of the warrior. King Wu Nian of Han, I really want to fight him."

As he spoke, Ii Naobi stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, showing a bloodthirsty expression.

He is thirty-two years old, has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very strong.

At the same time, the elite troops of the Toyotomi family, led by the Ii family for generations, are Fuso's famous strong army, the Red Armor Cavalry.

The military power is in his hands.

"That's what Master Zhibi said."

Matsudaira Kagetora, one of the Toyotomi Four Heavenly Kings, the best general in the world, commanding another elite force of the Toyotomi family, agreed lightly.

He is thirty-six years old. Although he is the best in the world, he looks ordinary. He has a handsome face and white skin, like a woman.

In terms of momentum, he can't compete with the sun-like Naoki Ii.

The strong will only wield their swords against the stronger.

These two men followed Toyotomi Daikichi and wiped out the world of Fuso. They were brave and good at fighting and were known as the Four Toyotomi Kings. They possessed extraordinary self-confidence, powerful force, and invincible elite troops.

He is qualified to compete with the Han army.

The great names looked at the two of them and had to admit this.

Katakura Keju laughed bitterly and shook his head.

Toyotomi Daikichi looked at the two of them happily. Although he agreed with Katakura Kageju's strategy, he was also full of appreciation for his general.

As a hero.

Under what circumstances, choosing which method to use to deal with it is all a matter of knowledge.

Now that Wu Nian occupies the Kyoto Plain and has a strong momentum, it is time to use a siege strategy.

But our Toyotomi family, our Toyotomi family, it’s not that we don’t have the capital to compete with the Han army. We just chose the optimal route.

"The spirit of a samurai is very important. But victory is more important. Now is not the time for a direct confrontation with the Han army. Kagetora, Naobi. Please be patient." Toyotomi Daikichi raised his head, first comforted the two generals, and then said to Katakura

Jing Shi said: "Jing Shi, follow your strategy."

"The great names, Hattori Hanzo of the Iga ninja, are all at your disposal."

"Yes." Katakura Kageju received the important task, but did not show any joy. He bent down and responded with a serious expression.

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

late at night.

In the city of Kyoto.

Although martial law was lifted in Wu Nian, the curfew is still in place. After dark, no one is allowed to move in the city except those with special permission.

Ouchi guards conduct patrols along fixed routes.

Among them, patrolling near the residences of the emperor and ministers under house arrest was a top priority.

The security inside the palace is even tighter.

Suddenly, a fire broke out in a place in the east of the city, and then the fire became more and more intense, and soon spread to the nearby houses.

Some people escaped, while others wailed in the fire.

People in nearby houses were also alarmed.

Those who escaped quickly organized manpower and began to put out the fire.

The Ouchi guards in charge of patrol responded quickly and rushed to the scene. However, they did not join in putting out the fire, but maintained order.

In a room in the palace, Fusang did not have a proper bed. Wu Nian also followed the local customs and spread the bedding on the tatami.

He could fall asleep with a corpse on his pillow, and he slept soundly.

"Da da da!!!!" The sound of rapid footsteps woke Wu Nian up.

"Your Majesty, there is a fire in the city." An imperial guard stood outside the door and bent down to report.

Wu Nian opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. He said, "Did someone set the fire?"

"Yes." Ouchi's guard responded.

"Change." Wu Nian nodded, lifted the quilt and stood up. A group of imperial guards entered the room, lit the oil lamp, and helped Wu Nian put on his clothes.

After dressing neatly, Wu Nian, under the protection of the Ouchi guards, walked along the corridor and arrived at the imperial palace.

The Ouchi guards were a little nervous.

Someone set a fire in the city, and it's night again. As the saying goes, it's easy to hide from an open gun and hard to avoid a hidden arrow.

Their nervousness is of course unnecessary, as the palace is currently completely under their control.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Cheng Yulian, Wang Gui, and the third-ranking civil and military officials of Jingji Dao were already seated. Wu Nian, neatly dressed, entered from the small door and sat cross-legged on the throne.

"Your Majesty." The civil and military officials saluted Wu Nian neatly.

"No courtesy." Wu Nian raised his hand and said calmly. Then, his eyes fell on Cheng Yulian and asked, "Did you find anything out of the investigation?"

Cheng Yulian did not answer, but turned his head to Kyogoku Dosan.

A solemn look appeared on Kyogoku Dosan's face, he bowed and saluted Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it was the Iga ninja who did it."

"Hattori Hanzo." Wu Nian's face also became serious. Recently, he and Kyogoku Yuki talked about many topics about ninjas.

There are many ninja schools in Fuso, and Iga ninja is one of the most famous schools.

Their leader has shared the same name for generations.

Hattori Hanzo.

Hattori Hanzo currently serves Toyotomi Daikichi.

And the dispatch of ninjas is definitely not as simple as this fire.

Probably countless fires.

"It's true that the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. It's not easy to gain a foothold in the Kyoto Plain under the eyes of Toyotomi Daiki." Wu young man shook his head lightly and sighed.

At this moment, he missed the Imperial City Division very much.

Miss Han.

In Liaodong, this kind of thing will not happen. First of all, the Imperial City Division has countermeasures. Liaodong is his base, and the people are facing him.

But here in Fuso, the situation is exactly the opposite.

The ninjas of Iga move freely in Fuso.

This was the case with the fire in Kyoto. The fire was quickly brought under control and the victims were properly placed.

But as Wu Nian expected, this fire was not an exception.

afternoon.

Royal palace, imperial palace.

A group of clouds drifted in from the east, blocking the sunlight. The palace also instantly became dark.

Wu Nian sat cross-legged on the throne with a serious face.

Cheng Yulian, Wang Gui, Jingji Xueli and Jingji Dao were kneeling on the left and right sides.

Overnight.

The plains of Kyoto were in turmoil.

Fires occur in towns and villages all over the country.

The bridge was damaged.

The Kyoto plain is very fertile and the river network is dense. The destruction of the bridges will cause great trouble to the Han army militarily.

Not to mention civilian use.

Not to mention the fire. The civilians affected by the disaster need to be resettled.

If this continues, there will be no peace in the Kyoto plains.

The autumn grain cannot be harvested either.
