Osaka Castle, inside a room.

Toyotomi Daikichi sat on his knees on the main seat, with a table beside him. His face was ugly, and his hand holding the folding fan was very hard, as if he was going to crush the folding fan.

In front of him, on the left and right sides, kneeling were Katakura Kageju, Matsudaira Kagetora, Ii Naomi and other important officials of the shogunate.

"Damn Fuma ninjas, damn the Hojo family. Fuma ninjas and those ronin who joined Wu Nian's army and government are all scum."

"They are not loyal to the emperor, and they are not loyal to the He clan."

Toyotomi Daikichi finally couldn't hold it back, grabbed the folding fan with both hands, and then used force. With a "click" sound, the folding fan broke into two pieces and he threw it out.

Xiao Xing, who was kneeling beside him, quickly picked up the folding fan.

Most of the important officials in the shogunate were helpless.

Katakura Kageju, in particular, felt like a cooked duck had flown away. According to his plan, a new emperor was erected as a puppet to unite the hearts of Fuso.

It cut off Wu Nian's maritime connection with the mainland of Han.

The great names defended their castles and besieged Wu Nian.

The import of grain has also been cut off.

Iga ninja destroys within.

Wu Nian should have collapsed.

But God is not good, and the grain harvest in the Kyoto Plain will be bumper this year. It seems that Wu Nian can last for another one or two years.

Wu Nian recruited Fuma ninjas and established a Fuso Ten Thousand Households composed of Fuso warriors and civilians.

This gave Wu Nian a certain public opinion foundation among civilians and warriors.

The original state of being alone and deep was now like a nail, firmly fixed on the Kyoto plain.

The threat has increased significantly.

It’s true. Man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.

"There is something wrong with my strategy. Please, Lord General, punish me." Katakura Kageju bent down, lowered his head very low, and expressed his stance.

"No. This is none of your business." Although Toyotomi Daikichi was extremely angry, he did not blame Katakura Kageju. Instead, he praised: "Your strategy is very good. It's just that damn Fuma ninjas, and those group of people who don't

A rogue with a loyal heart.”

"Sir General, I heard that Fuuma is very greedy for money. Can he be bribed with money?" Matsudaira Kagetora sat very calmly and lowered his head slightly to ask.

"The actions of the Iga ninjas are very secretive. Only ninjas can detect them. Only elite ninja troops like the Fuma ninjas can detect them. If the Fuma ninjas can be bribed, then Wu Nian will be blind and deaf again."

Ii Naobi crossed his arms, his eyes twinkling.

Toyotomi Daikichi was not very clear about this, so he turned to look at Katakura Kageju and asked: "Can you buy it? It doesn't matter how much it costs."

"I can even give them territory."

"Or you can enshrine the branch of the Hojo family and let the Hojo family return to the ranks of daimyo."

Toyotomi Daikichi hated the Hojo family, which was his strong enemy in the process of "unifying the world" and almost caused him to capsize several times.

He had some idea of ​​the wind demon's greed for money and its unruly nature.

As a samurai, being greedy for money or being rebellious are both acceptable on their own, but combined with both, they are very annoying.

He hates people like Feng Mo the most.

But everything must be taken seriously. Wu Nian now owns a territory of more than 800,000 shi, and he occupies the Kyoto Plain, a fertile plain.

The harm to fusang is immeasurable.

As long as Wu Nian can be eliminated, giving territory to Fuma or the Hojo family and returning them to the rank of daimyo is the lesser of two evils.

Besides, I can give you a smaller territory.

For example, thirty thousand koku, fifty thousand koku. This way it will not pose a threat to the Toyotomi family.

"I'm afraid it's difficult. Although Feng Mo is greedy for money, he is very principled and will not betray his employer. So there are many people who hate him, but there are also many who hire him."

Katakura Keju smiled bitterly, shook his head and said. If only things were so simple, that would be fine.

"Damn Fuma." Toyotomi Daikichi stood up, raised his right foot and kicked Pingji away. Then he adjusted his mood and sat down cross-legged again. His face was serious and he said: "In this case, we have to directly fight with

In the year of Wu, he fought with the Liaodong tiger, a land tiger."

"He has stabilized the Kyoto Plain and will not sit still and wait for death."

"I will definitely show my fangs."

Most of the important ministers sighed and showed solemn expressions. Only a few people, such as the number two in the world and the number one in the world, showed excited expressions.

Ii Naoki's aura, like the sun, became more and more powerful. He raised his head and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago. Fighting head-on is the right way for a warrior. I will personally chop off Wu Nian's head as my collection."

Matsudaira Kagetora didn't say anything, he just put his right hand on his wakizashi at his waist, nodded slightly, and looked brightly.

"Get the map. Let's study it. If Wu Nian chooses to break out, which direction will he take?" Toyotomi Daikichi looked at the two generals under his command, showing an excited look, nodded, and then turned to face him.

The little surname next to him said.

"Yes." Xiao Xing bent down and responded, turned around and went down. Soon after, Xiao Xing brought back a map and placed it on the tatami.

Toyotomi Daikichi and the shogunate ministers stood up, sat down around the map, and looked down at it. Then, their brows furrowed deeply.

The Kyoto Plain has roads extending in all directions. Except for the sea to the north and the huge Lake Biwa on the eastern border, troops can be sent anywhere.

Simply put.

This is an easy-to-attack but difficult-to-defend terrain, and it is also a favorable terrain for attack.

"The initiative is in Wu Nian's hands, and we can't guess it. We can only maintain the current layout, wait for Wu Nian to make the first move, and deploy troops and generals according to changes in the battlefield situation."

An important minister said.

The other important ministers nodded silently.

"That's all." Toyotomi Daikichi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The Han people have a saying, which is to keep the enemy out of the country.

Let the enemy come in and it will be a disaster.

Now Wu Nian has come in. And as he withdrew his troops back to the state, the navy confronting Li Tianbao in Kyushu began to fall into a disadvantage.

Sea Dragon King Li Tianbao is not a vegetarian.

Although it is unlikely, if Li Tianbao breaks through Jiuzhou, then he will be on fire from both ends.

Damn it.

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

In Kyoto City, there are a large number of Ouchi guards guarding outside a room in the Imperial Palace.

inside the room.

Wu Nian sat cross-legged on the tatami, looking down at the map in front of him.

Wang Gui, Jingji Daosan, and Jingji Xueli were sitting on their knees in the east, west, and south respectively.

Wu Nian put his right hand on his knee and tapped his knee unconsciously with his index finger.

Although it is a bit strange for Kyogoku Yuki to participate in the core military meeting. But Wu Nian currently has too few generals and staff.

Kyogoku Yuki knows something about military affairs.

Now the arrow is on the string and it has to be fired. It's time to fight.

But where to expand is the question.

There are too many roads, extending in all directions, and you can attack anywhere. But it seems that you are wrong to attack anywhere. The castles of the surrounding daimyo are all located on the main transportation roads.

It is very difficult to attack.

Wu Nian's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his right hand and drew a line from south to north. He said: "Fuso has a long and narrow country. If we capture Osaka Castle first, then go all the way south and cut Fuso in half."
