As Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's voice fell, a person in samurai attire walked in. This person was Sora Aoi. She glanced at the body of Hojo Munemasa on the ground, and then said coldly: "Master in charge, there are two more people who want to go."
They are responsible for the defeat of Kobe Port. If they were not smart, our army would have suffered such heavy losses!"
Yasuhiko knew who Sora Aoi was talking about, and said with an unchanged expression: "You mean Hikawa Kyoko who escaped after being captured and her deputy, the current intelligence officer Hatano Kiyoshi, Hikawa Kyoko was captured by the Song people
However, he is still loyal to our Yamazaki Country, otherwise he would not have returned to Yamazaki Country when our Yamazaki Country was in danger!"
Sora Aoi did not agree with An Yanliang's words, and said coldly: "Because Hikawa Kyoko has lived in a Han people's place, there is no guarantee that she will not be disloyal. What's more, there is something strange about our army's failure this time, especially that one
The naval base, such a hidden place, would be discovered by the Han people, which really makes people suspicious!"
An Yanyanghe was a little moved at this time, and turned to Hojo Takuken: "What do you think of this matter?"
Hojo Takuken hesitated and said: "Your Excellency General, only a small number of Han troops and allied forces captured Uozumi Castle, and the main force of the Han army is to the north of us. I calculated that the total strength of the Han army is only 30,000.
, and the Uesugi family, which is the main force of the coalition, has lost all its elite in Kobe. Even if other coalition forces are included, the number is less than 150,000. Our total force is enough to destroy them. As for Hikawa Kyoko, I think we can wait until later!"
"No, Hikawa Kyoko and Hatano Kiyoshi can't believe it. They must be killed first to ensure our victory. Lord Governor, for the sake of Yamazaki Country, you can no longer hesitate. Please leave this task to me!"
Sora Aoi knelt down towards An Yanlianghe.
A slightly suspicious expression also flashed across Yasuhiko's face at this time. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Let's let Hikawa Kyoko and Hatano Kiyoshi stay in the military camp for the time being. We will wait until these Han troops are defeated!
"
Akunari Ueda glanced at Sora Aoi, and then said calmly: "Why don't you let me say it?"
Yoshikazu Yasuhiko closed his eyes, nodded and said: "Have people carry Hojo Munemasa out and call everyone to come! Sora Aoi, you should also rest first!" Ueda Akunari saw Sora Aoi's expression of disapproval and gently said
He pulled her and then the two of them walked out.
As soon as they walked out of the big tent, Ueda Akunari and Aoi said a few words, and then they went their separate ways. Ueda Akunari walked through the noisy military camp and went straight to a small tent behind the military camp, and then stood outside the tent.
He said softly: "Hikawa Kyoko, Ueda Akunari, please come and ask for advice!"
An elegant voice came from the tent: "Come in!"
Ueda Akunari opened the tent cloth and walked in. At this time, there was a woman sitting cross-legged in the corner of the tent. Regardless of her hair style and clothes, she looked like a Han woman. At this time, her eyes were showing a questioning look.
Ueda Akunari naturally knew what Hikawa Kyoko wanted to ask, so he shook his head and said: "The general's will is very firm, Hojo Munemasa has already had his belly broken!"
Hearing Ueda Akunari's answer, Hikawa Kyoko's eyes flashed with sadness, and after a while she said, "Did the ruler believe the slander of Sora Aoi?"
Ueda Akunari was silent for a while, and then said: "The general asked Miss Hikawa Kyoko not to leave this tent for the time being until we defeat this Han army! Miss Hikawa Kyoko, please understand the general's difficulties."
Hikawa Kyoko looked at Ueda Akunari and said in a deep tone: "Do you really think we can defeat this Han Dynasty army?"
Ueda Akunari said with a surprised look on his face: "Why not? We have six times more people than the other side. Even if we include those rebel coalition forces, our numbers are still superior. We, the samurai of Yamazaki Kingdom, can destroy them with just one charge.
This is an obvious fact!"
"Obvious fact?" A mocking smile appeared on Hikawa Kyoko's face: "Did you know? The main reason why I sacrificed myself to help the general connect so that the ruling lord could contact the leader of Yamato was because I knew
The ruler will definitely rule the entire Japanese island. My original plan was that when the Yamazaki Kingdom occupied Goryeo, the Yamato Kingdom did not need to help them, but what happened was too unexpected. Now the situation on the opposite continent (Central Plains) is turbulent. In a short time
It is difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior within the country. However, because of this situation, the Han Dynasty was able to intervene in the affairs of our Japanese island. This is in line with a common saying of the Han people: God is not as good as man! Today’s weapons of the Han Dynasty
It is too powerful and cannot be matched by our Yamazaki country now. But now we can only surrender temporarily and learn the other party's strengths, and then we can compete with each other again."
Ueda Akunari thought about it for a while and said, "Ms. Hikawa Kyoko, are you worrying too much?"
Hikawa Kyoko sighed and said: "I also hope that the opponent's soldiers are generally much better than our soldiers, and they have an absolute advantage in weapons. Even if we have more soldiers than the opponent, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win. If we want to
I said that now it is best for our army to stand firm in deep ditches and high fortifications, hide the main force, and then continuously send troops to attack the opponent's food roads. This will make the opponent unable to fight in the front and unable to retreat. Soon, they will
The morale of the people will drop. At that time, we can first eliminate those ignorant people in the court, and then concentrate our efforts on dealing with these Han people. If this plan can really be realized, even if these Han people cannot be eliminated by then, the other side will be inactive.
situation, the offensive and defensive situation on the battlefield will change. At that time, the Han people will definitely seek peace, which will be much more beneficial to our Yamazaki country. In the future..."
"Hikawa Kyoko..." Ueda Akunari saw that the other party was getting more and more excited as he talked, so he couldn't help interrupting Hikawa Kyoko and said: "Although Miss Hikawa Kyoko's plan is very good, it is too timid. We, the samurai of Yamazaki Country,
How can we retreat after the enemy has issued a declaration of war? Please, Miss Hikawa Kyoko, please stop talking! In recent days, I still ask Miss Hikawa Kyoko not to leave this tent at will. Ueda Akunari resigned first!" After saying that, before Hikawa Kyoko could speak, Ueda Akunari
He left with a look of displeasure.
Seeing Ueda Akunari's attitude, Hikawa Kyoko's eyes flashed with deep disappointment, and she murmured to herself: "It seems that the defeat of the ruler is not far away!" Immediately, another wave of perseverance and determination flashed through Hikawa Kyoko's eyes.
He said: "For the sake of Yamazaki Country, I have to do this! Please forgive me, Lord Governor!" At this time, a cold light flashed in Hikawa Kyoko's eyes, like the reflection on the blade, full of breathtaking determination!
