Chapter 804 The Arrangement of Kazuo Tsukama

When Deng Dang and Xu Huang arrived outside the military camp, Lu Xuan personally brought Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others out to greet them.

During this period, Lu Xuan remained on hold.

On the one hand, the weather was cold and not suitable for marching. On the other hand, Xun Yu from the rear arranged for people to continuously send food and grass to ensure the front line's military rations. Lu Xuan needed to make arrangements. Finally, it was Lu Xuan who arranged for people to

Don't go and inquire about Kyoto news.

A series of arrangements require waiting.

Lu Xuan looked at the dusty Xu Huang and the three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry in formation, with a bright smile on his face and said happily: "Gongming, thank you for your hard work along the way."

"It won't be hard in the end!"

Xu Huang shook his head and answered.

When he was in Nanjing, he was transferred to work in the Dudu Mansion and followed Zhou Yu's arrangements. After returning to Lu Xuan, Xu Huang was responsible for formulating strategies and integrating the domestic army in the Dudu Mansion, and he was quite comfortable.

Especially when working with Zhou Yu, Xu Huang admired Zhou Yu from the bottom of his heart because Zhou Yu was magnanimous, decent and caring towards his subordinates.

This time, Zhou Yu asked him to come and take a look at the battle situation.

At the same time, assist Lu Xuan in his work.

Xu Huang took out two letters from his sleeves and said: "Your Majesty, these are two letters. One was sent by Zhang Shangshu to the general. The other was written by General Manager Xun at the port.

It will be transferred eventually."

Lu Xuan took it and read it quickly.

Zhang Zhao's letters related to the fact that Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others arranged for scholars from their respective families to come to Japan and attracted a large number of scholars. In addition, Zhang Zhao also explained many domestic matters.

Xun Yu's letter mentioned the people and scholars led by Xin Pi, as well as some plans for their subsequent resettlement.

After reading the letter, Lu Xuan put away the letter and led Xu Huang's army back to the camp.

It is already the end of December and the weather is quite cold.

The soldiers in the army are all resting.

If it were a suitable time to send troops after the beginning of spring, Lu Xuan would have attacked long ago. After all, by now, Lu Xuan has figured out all the details about Tokugawa Ieyasu through more than a month of investigation.

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu raised 100,000 soldiers to guard Kyoto, Lu Xuan was not afraid at all.

Tokugawa Ieyasu is now in his final struggle.

Although there were many troops, after the continuous wars, Tokugawa Ieyasu's army had long spread the news that the Ming Dynasty was invincible. Countless Japanese knew the fighting power of the Ming Dynasty. Tokugawa Ieyasu was now a paper tiger, which could be broken with a single poke.

After Lu Xuan joined Xu Huang's army, the infantry was integrated into the army, and the three thousand cavalry were handed over to Zhao Yun's command.

At this stage, Lu Xuan has not sent troops and is still resting and recuperating.

However, while Lu Xuan was resting, he also arranged for Zhao Yun to train his cavalry. Every now and then, Zhao Yun would take 3,000 cavalry out of the camp to go horse racing, constantly training the cavalry's combat effectiveness.

In addition, Lu Xuan also made an arrangement, arranging for an elite force to leave quietly at night. During the day, he swaggered into the camp and made a sound as if the army was constantly arriving.

This is intentional.

Just to increase the momentum and scare Tokugawa Ieyasu.

In fact, the arrangement of this step was to spread the news in a very short time and let Tokugawa Ieyasu's sentry discover it.

In mid-January, the news that Lu Xuan had thousands more cavalry and tens of thousands more infantry, and that every horse was extremely fine, reached the Japanese capital of Kyoto and the ears of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

When Tokugawa Ieyasu heard the news, he fell into silence.

The whole person is somewhat autistic.

In the battle to regain the city in the past, Lu Xuan had only a hundred cavalry under his command, but his army was frightened and unable to resist. Although there were various reasons for the defeat at that time, there is no dispute that Lu Xuan's cavalry was extremely powerful.

sharp.

Now Lu Xuan suddenly had thousands more cavalry.

The difference between one hundred and two hundred cavalry is not the difference between one hundred plus one hundred. The greater the number of cavalry, the stronger the offensive. Thousands of cavalry, all of them elite, pose a greater threat to Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The Japanese country had only a very small number of war horses, and only a handful of generals used them. The Japanese country was not even equipped with basic cavalry. This was something that Tokugawa Ieyasu could not help. He had been in charge of the place for more than ten years, but he had not found a horse farm or a large-scale cavalry.

Horse herd.

There are a few war horses, but they all cost a lot of effort.

Especially if there are tens of thousands of infantry coming, it will be even more troublesome.

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at the sentinel and asked, "How many cavalrymen does Lu Xuan have?"

The sentinel reported: "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, the number of cavalry in the Ming Dynasty may be more than 3,000, maybe 4,000. Because there are too many cavalry, it is impossible to observe clearly, so we can only make an assessment."

Tokugawa Ieyasu thought for a while and asked: "You really saw it clearly. Did you all find out clearly that there are so many soldiers and horses?"

"It's so real."

The sentry nodded solemnly again and said: "All our sentries were lurking not far from Lu Xuan's camp, and saw the opponent's cavalry coming out. Three to four thousand cavalry rushed out, and the horses trampled the ground.

, the sound was like thunder, and the ground was shaking continuously."

"That scene is something we will never forget."

"Lu Xuan's cavalry is very capable. None of our horses can reach the height of the opponent. The same goes for their soldiers."

The sentry said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is roughly the situation."

Tokugawa Ieyasu's face turned cold. No wonder Lu Xuan did not accept his surrender. No wonder Lu Xuan was not afraid even though he knew he was recruiting troops.

Because Lu Xuan has enough troops and horses.

Because Lu Xuan has reinforcements.

At this moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu was also a little nervous.

Lu Xuan's cavalry is very powerful, which means that his elite cannot leave the city to fight. Once they leave Kyoto, they will be attacked and killed by the cavalry after leaving the city.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu thought about it, he thought that at present, he mainly focuses on defense and needs to use the city of Kyoto to resist and weaken Lu Xuan's troops. Therefore, for the time being, Tokugawa Ieyasu still has enough confidence.

As long as he didn't leave the city and destroyed Lu Xuan's elite troops in Kyoto, Lu Xuan would still be unable to do anything to him.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu thought it over clearly, he arranged for someone to notify Tsukama Kazuo to come to the palace to see him.

Tsukauma Kazuo entered the palace, saluted Tokugawa Ieyasu and said: "Emperor!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "How are the food, grass and supplies in Kyoto City being prepared during this period?"

Tsukauma Kazuo said: "Everything is ready, and the materials mobilized in the city are sufficient. According to the current preparation quantity, even if a hundred thousand people consume it, our food and grass can support the consumption for more than half a year."

This is the result of Tsukama Kazuo's continuous fundraising.

He has other ideas.

However, he did not neglect the matter to avoid being implicated by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was very satisfied with Tsukauma Kazuo's arrangement. He told Lu Xuan that he had three to four thousand more cavalry and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. He finally said: "Tsukama Kazuo, our battle with Lu Xuan will be very difficult. The following is

People must be stable, and you must take the lead."

Tsukama Kazuo was shocked when he heard this.

He doesn't know the news yet.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan indeed increased the number of troops, and added so many cavalry and infantry at once. At this moment, Tsukauma Kazuo felt that he no longer had any suspense about the Japanese defense.

Originally, the Japanese side was at a disadvantage.

Now, defeat is certain!

Tsukama Kazuo was constantly thinking, but he did not hesitate and expressed his stance: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will arrange everything and ensure that everyone is united. We defeated Lu Xuan this time, and the situation in Japan has changed."

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked approvingly and said: "You are right!"

Tsukauma Kazuo said: "Emperor, has Lu Xuan sent troops?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head and said: "Not yet. Lu Xuan is going to send troops. It is estimated that it will be after spring. You still have time to prepare. During this period, you must further control the rear to ensure that there will be no problems in Kyoto."

"I understand."

Tsukaima Kazuo spoke uprightly.

His eyes were fiery and he said loudly: "We are all trained by the Emperor. Without the Emperor's teachings, we would not be where we are now. Therefore, we swear to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor to the death. I believe that the ministers of the Japanese country are the same."

Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes were even more approving, and he was even more reassured about Tsukaima Kazuo, saying: "We have won this battle, we are completely established, and we can also get a lot of war horses and supplies. For us, this is a crisis, and it is even more important.

Opportunity. We don’t have good craftsmen and war horses, and now Lu Xuan has sent them."

Tsukaima Kazuo said: "His Majesty the Emperor is wise."

Tokugawa Ieyasu waved his hand and ordered: "Go and make arrangements, hurry up."

Tsukaima Kazuo said respectfully: "I obey!"

"Go ahead."

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded.

Tsukaima Kazuo walked out of the hall respectfully and went straight back to his residence.

He thought about it in his mind and finally made a decision. Instead of assisting in the defense, he would directly help Lu Xuan. The Japanese side had many troops, but Lu Xuan's strength was getting stronger and stronger. The Japanese people were panicking, and it must be necessary.

Defeated.

He has to think about himself.

Tsukauma Kazuo first arranged for Momotani Tadashi to come to discuss the situation and expressed his plan to directly help Lu Xuan break the city.

Momotani Tadashi agreed directly.

For Momotani Tadashi, the Japanese kingdom was weakening, and Lu Xuan's troops were increasing, leaving only one way to surrender. Tsukama Kazuo received Momotani Tadashi's promise, and he felt completely at ease, and wrote a follow-up plan letter, calling

The confidant sent him away quietly and sent him to the front line to be handed over to Lu Xuan.
