The city was broken! A large number of Japanese troops retreated from Ulsan City. As soon as they left Ulsan City, a huge fire appeared on the back of Ulsan City, moving continuously, accompanied by deafening shouts!
The entry of the Ming army into the city and the capture of Ulsan was definitely an important turning point in the Korean War. This meant that almost all of eastern Korea was recovered. Now only half of Jeolla Province in the west and the northernmost area were surrounded and waiting to starve to death.
A group of lone troops, as well as a group of coastal cities in the southernmost part.
"All the results achieved in the past six months have been wiped out."
Even though Mori Terumoto and Kuroda Nagamasa had already harbored rebellious intentions in their hearts, they sighed and felt depressed when they saw this scene of overwhelming defeat. Little did they know that their expressions were seen by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and he
In my mind, I was wondering whether the two of them could win over each other.
Of course Ieyasu agreed to "Hideaki"'s proposal.
He rebelled.
He just exists as the biggest traitor.
Compared with the rebels who jump directly to the rebellion, the traitors obviously have to disguise themselves better and are more loyal than the loyal ministers. This time, the defeat of Ulsan, although it was Ieyasu himself who gave the order to retreat, but the "real situation" he encountered
Then he would tell Toyotomi Hideyoshi everything.
It was Xiuqiu who assassinated him, not that he didn't want to kill him.
No one knows better than Toyotomi Hideyoshi the consequences of being stabbed by the Tiancongyun sword, because the real three artifacts are in his hands
Becoming the King of Japan, or even the Emperor, is what Ieyasu himself wanted to do but failed to do, so he was unwilling to do so.
He was unwilling to succumb to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but that was the person supported by Emperor Jimmu.
Ieyasu understood that if he was not selected, it would be useless even if he killed Hideyoshi. If he dared to do so, Emperor Jimmu would never let him go. This was of course not for revenge against Hideyoshi, but because, since he dared
If you kill Hideyoshi, then you dare to kill Emperor Kammu. Kammu will never keep such a person under his command.
"So, although I show ambition on weekdays, it is only limited to after Hideyoshi ascended to immortality. I became Guanbai again. Emperor Jimmu was optimistic about me because of this. Hideyoshi also believed that the ambition shown was better than the ambition hidden secretly.
Some...that's why I am the leader of the five followers, because he knows what I want, so he won't be afraid of me."
Ieyasu was thinking a lot in his mind.
If a minister told the emperor that he had no needs, the emperor would be frightened and extremely afraid.
But if the ministers ask for benefits from the emperor, as long as it is not the throne, then everything is easy to negotiate.
Such as Wang Jian of Qin and Xiao He of Han.
And Guan Bai is not the emperor, he is just equivalent to the prime minister, so Hideyoshi would not say anything if he asked for the next position.
However, the so-called "emperor" in Japan is Emperor Jimmu himself. If a sword is pointed at Emperor Jimmu, he will never be let go.
But!
What if there is an "emperor" behind you to support you?
Although the emperors of China were constantly replaced with the change of dynasties, unlike Japan, the emperor was not the same for all generations, but at least the condition of retiring with the country was still very tempting.
No matter how many years the Ming Dynasty can exist, at least it still rules the entire Middle-earth and has several true immortals. Even if most of those true immortals do not listen to orders, the imperial court itself has two immortal-level combat capabilities.
, is by no means an idle existence.
Moreover, Hideaki said that a big change will come in twenty years. There will definitely be many people who want to kill Emperor Jimmu, so this is one of the reasons why he launched a fierce attack on North Korea and then took away the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
.
Without a strong national security as a trump card, he would be very scared. This shows that among the group of people who will come to the world in twenty years, there will definitely be many true immortals among them.
Then, at least within these twenty years, the Ming Dynasty will not perish.
Let’s talk about who you want to turn to and rely on twenty years from now.
No one can see the direction of the world in twenty years. It may become better or worse, but Ieyasu does not want to be dragged into a chariot to death by Hideyoshi and Kammu if his ambition is not realized!
Give it a try, how can a man live in depression for a long time?
Thinking of this, Ieyasu couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. Kuroda Nagamasa caught this smile and immediately began to ask suspicious questions:
"Our army was defeated in Ulsan. At this moment of despair, why is Lord Ieyasu laughing?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu laughed out loud when he heard this: "If you lose the battle, there is no use crying. You can't save the defeat, so it is better to smile."
"Looking on the bright side, at least we still have a number of large cities on the southern coast. These cities that we first operated will never be easily broken. However, Lord Guan Bai may be troubled. Judging from the current situation, even if he
If we bring over all the local troops and men, we may not be able to win this battle.'
"The result is that we all died on the battlefield, North Korea was completely defeated, and the Ming Dynasty was also dragged down. All three were defeated." "Either he wants to come here to fight in person, or... continue to negotiate...
.
Mouri Terumoto and Kuroda Nagamasa looked at each other with tiredness in their eyes.
"I see, we must continue to fight."
"Indeed, such a huge victory was lost in just two months. If I were to talk about it, I would not be able to swallow it.
"If we fight to the death, the chances of winning are slim, right... Should we bet on whether the National Congress will fight us with all its strength?"
At this time, another war was taking place in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Yang Yinglong of Bozhou in the southwest rebelled brazenly, and the Ming court had no time to take care of half of the country in the south. However, people on the Korean battlefield did not know all this.
From the 20th year of Wanli to now the 26th year of Wanli, three consecutive wars have followed, from the Battle of Ningxia to the Korean War to the Bozhou Rebellion. Among them, the Korean War has lasted for six years from the 20th year to the present.
Both sides had chariots and horsemen, and the divisions of several towns were destroyed, and half of them were wiped out; tens of thousands of money and millet were poured out to fill the ravines.
"Lord Ieyasu, what do you think of Guan Bai?'
Kuroda Nagamasa still took the initiative to provoke this topic.
Ieyasu narrowed his eyes and looked at Kuroda Nagamasa with a scrutinizing gaze. Of course, this was also an act of his.
"Kuroda, what do you mean?'
Ieyasu deliberately asked in a dignified and questioning tone, while Kuroda Nagamasa did not speak. At this time, the atmosphere between the two of them was very tense. Ieyasu looked at Kuroda Nagamasa and knew that this guy was trying to attract others, and this tone seemed to be.
..
I just don’t know if he spoke now to test his intentions, or if he really has a rebellious heart?
This is not a wrong answer. As a traitor, you must always understand your apparent position as a "loyal minister." So after a brief silence between the two parties, Ieyasu said seriously:
"Kuroda, I want to remind you that as the commander of our army now, your first priority is to obey orders. Even if Guan Bai's next arrangements are not to your liking, you can passively avoid the war, but you must not disobey Guan Bai.
Your Majesty’s instructions.”
"You are a general, and he is a commander. Do you want the general to be subject to military orders abroad? Do you think you have a higher status than the commander-in-chief? Can you really give up decisively like Shimazu and Kobayakawa?
My relatives and family back home?”
"It's not convenient for me to say some things clearly. I just hope that you won't blatantly say such things in the future. If it were others, they might have drawn their swords to warn you."
Kuroda also borrowed the donkey from the slope and immediately lowered his head: "Yes, I am a little impulsive. I am just deeply worried about Master Guan Bai being so militaristic.'
But he had doubts in his heart.
Will Ieyasu really carry out Hideyoshi's orders faithfully?
Honshu Island, Kansai, Osaka Castle, Japan.
"Eight hundred bhikkhunis died.
"How could this happen? How was she killed? It's incomprehensible!"
A pale-faced man, but luxuriously dressed and with a giant python embroidered on his body, stood in front of the dust, his eyes filled with uncontrollable surprise and anger.
This ancient immortal who had been worshiped for eight hundred years was his most capable Buddhist disciple, but he didn't even put up much resistance. The entire shrine did not shatter in an orderly manner, but turned into dust all at once.
It disappears into ashes, and nothing exists anymore.
Is there such a powerful person in this world?
Even in the lower realm of true immortals, it is impossible to destroy the opponent. Unless the person who attacks Eight Hundred Bhikshunis is strong enough to destroy the sacred treasure she once ate, otherwise he should be powerless against her.
It will never become as serious as it is now.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi fell silent for a moment and looked at other shrines around him.
There was more than one shattered shrine, and the number of cracked shrines meant the number of dead immortals. The death of eight hundred bhikkhunis made him unable to remain calm, which meant that the opponent's strength exceeded his imagination.
"Well, eight hundred nuns are dead. I underestimated.'
Another person walked in, but his clothes looked shabby. At least compared to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's gorgeous Ming Dynasty red dress, he looked like ordinary people. However, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw this person coming in, his expression was extremely respectful.
.
The visitor is Emperor Jimmu Xu Fu.
The most noble clothing worn by the Japanese Emperor was a yellow-dyed royal robe, but at this time, Xu Fu was wearing an ordinary cloth robe and sandals, with only a yellow silk double-tassel tied around his waist.
This is the costume worn by alchemists in the pre-Qin period.
For Xu Fu, the only thing that reminds him of that era is the clothes he wears.
Except for some people from the pre-Qin Dynasty who are still alive in the mountains and rivers, the others have long since passed away. And Xu Fu, who has not returned to that land for two thousand years, has long forgotten what the mountains and rivers of Central China looked like, and his memory is very fragile.
It was blurry, but when I saw the python suit on Toyotomi Hideyoshi, I could recall a little bit of the past memories.
Although Qin Shihuang did not have such bright clothes at that time, they were gifts from the Middle-earth Dynasty after all.
It should have been a very beautiful thing for Emperor Qin to be the emperor of the human world and himself to be the king of the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, things always go against his wishes and the appearance of Li Shanhe turned his plan for the Kingdom of God into a clown-like farce.
The Confucian divine kingdom created by Dong Zhongshu's method of the unity of nature and man is a mysterious and transcendent place even in the mountains and rivers. However, the divine kingdom he established has fallen into such decline.
After all, you cannot cultivate into a righteous god in the human world. At most, you can only combine with human souls, and your form, interpretation, and transformation will only depend on ghosts and gods.
"Your Majesty, eight hundred bhikkhunis are dead. Although Korea's national destiny has devoured a lot, they have finally taken back the Three Capitals. Immortals have died one after another. The situation on the Korean battlefield is not optimistic now.'
"What should we do next? How should we deal with that immortal from the Ming Dynasty? Do you need me to go there?"
Xu Fu listened to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words and laughed: "You are somewhat confident in your own strength. Do you think you are above the eight hundred bhiksunis?
Toyotomi Hideyoshi: "If you hold the three sacred weapons, you must be above the bhikshuni."
Xu Fu shook his head: "That may not be higher than a true immortal. I didn't expect that this situation has exceeded my expectations. The last time I saw him, he had not recovered to this point.
"This demon... is difficult to kill, but if we can lure him to Japan, we can easily kill him. However, there is no order from the Ming Dynasty. As the lord of immortals, how could he easily enter my domain?"
Although the fake immortals are not real immortals, they all have the huge advantage of fighting at home. Xu Fu is even more of a pre-Qin old ghost. In Ji Xiang's words, he just doesn't follow the tricks of Jin Dan Dao.
The path of spiritual practice in the pre-Qin Dynasty is different from the path of spiritual practice in later generations. Instead of following the magic of golden elixirs and earthly immortals, there are many unpredictable methods from heaven and earth.
"Since the end of the Han Dynasty, only a few people have entered the Japanese mainland. Now my strength is even greater than before...
Toyotomi Hideyoshi listened to Xu Fu's soliloquy, but his face showed embarrassment.
When his strength is far inferior to that of his opponent, should he be sent out with all his immortals and forcibly brought to Japan to kill him?
Then his own side must have suffered heavy losses. This is simply a loss that outweighs the gain. Aren't there other immortals in the Ming Dynasty? Xu Fu glanced at Toyotomi Hideyoshi, stroked his beard and smiled slightly:
"Don't be too impatient.'
"Although the losses have been great, a large amount of North Korea's national destiny has been swallowed up, and this part cannot be spit out. Our national destiny has grown stronger. Unfortunately, the war has entered its sixth year and still has not touched the Ming Dynasty.
"local"
Thinking of the Dragon of Luck with its horns broken off, Xu Fu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but the basic goal has been achieved. In addition to the national luck, the Dragon of Luck has also had its horns broken, and the power that can be taken out of the big Fuli has been more
Got it
"I originally used North Korea as a springboard to plot for China, but now it is no longer possible. In this case...
"Then there's no need to fight anymore.'
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment, then his pale face changed several times, and he said with some reluctance: "This... we don't want to fight anymore?" "There are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our country who can fight, but it really can't be done..."
.
"Hideyoshi! You must have accumulated enough power in order to ascend to immortality. So many victims have died...
Xu Fu looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi: "After several years of fighting, I didn't expect that at the critical moment, the Ming Dynasty showed up with immortal-level combat power. In the past few years, they relied on their strong national prestige and North Korea's national destiny that has not dissipated to compete with us.
The fake immortals, and now that their true immortals have arrived on the battlefield, our immortals are no longer useful. We cannot forcefully awaken those rotten bones and let them die."
"These people are our country's strong line of defense against future changes. As long as the opportunity to ascend to immortality comes, they will all be able to ascend immediately. They cannot be easily compromised here. Therefore, there is no way to fight the Ming Dynasty to the death.
necessary."
"However, there are some battles that should be fought, and they still have to be fought. If that immortal is not eliminated, it will indeed be a disaster for our country. The ability of the demon is extremely powerful and cannot be resisted by human monks.'
"I killed him to open a way forward for all sentient beings.'
Three ghosts and gods appeared on Xu Fu's body, and six eyes fell on Toyotomi Hideyoshi, making the latter's hair stand on end for a moment!
The gaze from the eternal abyss, the eyes of ghosts and gods that transcend time, cannot be looked directly into. Emperor Jimmu is good at refining the art of ghosts and gods, which is derived from the method of the pre-Qin Dynasty and has many wonderful uses!
Xu Fu nodded his head slightly, and the ghost in the middle immediately flew away.
