But when he heard Lin Tianshuai say the word "attacking the heart first", President Konishi had a new idea.
He then asked for instructions and said: "Before going to the Tokugawa Camp, you should first go to Shimayama Castle and send a message between the two companies. The psychological attack effect may be better."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Lin Tianshuai asked, "The other side of Daoshan City may be more dangerous. Do you want to go?"
President Konishi replied: "I'm sure I want to go!"
Lin Tianshuai became entangled instead, because for Mr. Konishi, going to Daoshan Castle was indeed more dangerous.
On the side of the Tokugawa Army, whether Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shimazu Yoshihiro, or Asano Nagamasa, they are all old foxes who have been living in the brutal Warring States for decades, and their rationality can be trusted.
In Shimayama Castle, people like Fukushima Masanori, Hachisuka Housekeeper, and Asano Yukinaga are the new generation of young men. They are only in their twenties and thirties, and they act more impulsively.
If you don't like it, it's very possible to kill Yukinoshi Konishi directly.
This is not because Tianshuai feels sorry for Governor Konishi's life, but that Governor Konishi has already passed the initial test and will have greater use value in the future. It would be a pity if he was buried in the small island mountain city.
After thinking for a while, Lin Tianshuai said: "How could I not know that it would be more effective to go to Daoshan City to attack the heart first? But I am just worried that Daoshan City is dangerous and unpredictable.
So I really have no intention of letting you take risks in Daoshan City. Without any strict requirements, do you still want to go?"
President Konishi said firmly: "I'm sure I want to go! Thanks to Tianshuai who values me so much, I will naturally do my best."
Shen Weijing, who was translating in the middle, was stunned, why did Xiao Xijun seem to be a different person?
If you were really not afraid of death, you wouldn’t have lived an ignoble existence after the city of Pyongyang was destroyed!
Is Tianshuai's PUA spell so powerful? It can actually make a person completely reborn.
Lin Tianshuai finally agreed, "We have a Chinese saying that goes like this, life or death depends on fate, wealth and honor are mine!
I hereby promise that as long as you, Mr. Konishi, come back alive, I will ensure your wealth!"
President Konishi said goodbye and rode his horse to Ninomaru, the eastern island mountain castle, where he shouted to ask for an audience.
Not long after, Konishi Yukinaga was brought in and went all the way up to the Honmaru, the highest point of Shimayama Castle.
The hastily built Honmaru is very rough. Several Japanese generals are sitting in a small shed on a high platform in the middle, looking very crowded.
The commander-in-chief, Masanori Fukushima, is in the middle, with Nagamune Motochin sitting beside him, and Hachisuka Kasei and Asano Yukinaga on the left and right.
"The commander-in-chief entrusted me to you." Before Governor Konishi could say his opening remarks, Masanori Fukushima interrupted Governor Konishi and asked directly: "Are you here to persuade him to surrender?"
President Konishi replied: "No."
Fukushima Masanori snorted coldly and asked again: "Then you are here to see our jokes?"
President Konishi replied again: "No."
The youngest and most energetic Yuki Asano shouted: "This is not the case, and that is not the case, so why are you here? Are you here to die?"
Elder Xiao Xixing replied calmly: "I have no other intention, I just came here to inform you of the situation outside.
You are trapped in Daoshan City and completely cut off from the outside world. You must know nothing about the outside world, right?"
Yuan Qin, our subordinate of Changzong, chuckled and said: "I guess reinforcements must be coming, and the Ming army has not defeated the reinforcements yet. Otherwise, you wouldn't show up here, right?"
Konishi Yukino sighed: "Your guess is correct, but not correct.
The reinforcements have indeed arrived, and the Ming army has indeed not defeated the reinforcements, but the main reason is that as many as 40,000 reinforcements cannot come out."
This new external news about Governor Konishi caused a little stir in the hearts of several people who had been in isolation for several days.
Governor Konishi looked at Asano Yukinaga and continued to introduce the situation in detail: "The general of the reinforcements is Tokugawa Dainagoni Ieyasu, and the superintendent of the army is your father.
In addition, two powerful feudal lords, Satsuma Shimazu Yoshihiro and Yanagawa Tachibana Soshige, joined forces, and at least two of the four great kings of the Tokugawa family came.
The total strength of the reinforcements is estimated to be around 40,000, while the Ming army facing them has only 17,000, and is currently only ten miles away from Daoshan City.
However, the Tokugawa reinforcements used Taihe River as a defense line and could not hold out for several days, so the Ming army was forced to confront each other."
The facial expressions of Masanori Fukushima and others have changed to a greater or lesser extent, as is the case for normal people. The more detailed the news, the more complicated their thoughts become.
The question they were thinking about the most at this time was that the Tokugawa reinforcements were only ten miles away from Shimayama Castle, so why did they remain motionless?
Asano Yukinaga couldn't help but shouted again: "Isn't this a lie?"
President Konishi retorted: "Anyone with a little brain can figure out whether I am deceiving you!
Previously, when the Ming army captured Sannomaru, the situation was already very favorable. Why did they stop attacking Shimayama Castle Ninomaru?
That's because the main force went to block the Tokugawa reinforcements, so Shimayama Castle only focused on siege and suspended the siege!
You also know the tactics of the Ming army. Every time they start a battle, they use heavy artillery to clear the ground. But in the past few days, have you heard the sound of artillery coming from the west?
If there is no sound of artillery, it means that there is no battle, and then the two sides can only confront each other silently!"
After a pause, President Konishi added: "A few days ago, I went to the Tokugawa camp as an envoy and met Tokugawa Dainagon and his father who was the supervisor of the army!
What I heard from Tokugawa Daigan is that we must hold on to the end and never take the initiative to attack the Ming army in a decisive battle!"
Asano Yukinaga asked with complicated emotions: "Does my father mean this too?"
Governor Konishi replied: "Tokugawa Dainagon is the chief general. Whether to fight or defend is all decided by Tokugawa Dainagon. Your father did not say much."
After saying this, President Konishi bowed slightly, saluted, and said in a deep voice:
"Today I came to visit you all out of the obligation of my former comrades. From now on, please take care of yourself. I will take my leave now!"
The rest of the people were still digesting the new news, and were a little confused when they heard President Konishi's sudden departure.
Fukushima Masanori said quickly: "Are you leaving now?"
President Konishi replied, "What else? As I said just now, I just want to tell you the new news from the outside. I have said everything that needs to be said. What else can I do if I don't leave?"
Fukushima Masanori added: "Won't you provide us with some pointers?"
If President Konishi didn't give any suggestions, they would rather hear what President Konishi had to say.
President Konishi sighed deeply, "I really don't have any suggestions to give, you can see the final outcome at a glance!
Either surrender, capture the city, be captured, or die. What other outcome is there?
It's up to you to choose which path to take, do you have any suggestions?
You have all seen the combat power of the Ming army, and there are countless North Korean cannon fodder as the vanguard. You have lost Sannomaru, don’t you think you can still win?"
Everyone was speechless. What Governor Konishi said was so unreasonable.
Konishi Yukinaga seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Asano Yukinaga: "Do you want to write a letter to your father? I can help you deliver it to your father ten miles away.
After all, it is possible that you will never see each other again, so it is better to write something in advance to avoid regrets."
Mr. Konishi's tone was very gentle and full of humanistic care.
Masanori Fukushima seemed to see something, "Do you want to disturb the morale of the troops on both sides?"
Konishi Yukinaga said disdainfully: "You really don't understand good people's hearts! I didn't limit what Yukinaga Asano wrote!
He could express his determination to fight to the end in his letters, and persuade his father to fight to the death for his country as well!
If there is a reply there, I can send it over again! Is it wrong to help the father and son communicate?"
In the end, Asano Yukinaga could not resist the temptation to leave a message to his father and wrote a letter to Yukinaga Konishi.
After all, no one knows what will happen tomorrow when they are trapped in a lonely city, so being able to leave messages to their loved ones can make up for the regret.
After coming out of Shimayama Castle safely, Governor Konishi rushed to the Tokugawa military camp without stopping.
Please collect the book!
And he successfully entered the enclosure of Tokugawa Ieyasu's main formation, and Asano Nagamasa, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Tachibana Munesege also rushed over.
But apart from these few, no one else was present, unlike last time where a lot of generals were present.
It may be that President Konishi's remarks last time were too shocking, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was worried that a similar situation would happen again and continue to have a bad impact, so he deliberately controlled the number of people.
President Konishi said to Asano Nagamasa: "The commander-in-chief asked me to send you a letter!"
Asano Nagamasa said in surprise: "What's going on?"
Governor Konishi replied: "I went to Shimayama Castle to visit a few of them. Your son wrote a letter home and asked me to deliver it to you!"
Asano Nagamasa's mood is very complicated, why does it sound like a "suicide note"?
But he had to accept his son's letters. Asano Nagamasa took the letter from Konishi Yukinaga, but did not open it and read it.
He was afraid that he would see something that would make it difficult for him to restrain himself, causing him to lose his temper in public.
President Konishi said: "I see that your son is very strong and brave, and has made up his mind to live and die with Shimayama Castle in order to repay Taikaku's kindness.
I believe his reputation for loyalty and bravery will spread in the future, and your Asano family has given birth to a good son and grandson!"
Asano Nagamasa: ""
Tokugawa Ieyasu interrupted President Konishi's state-of-the-art behavior and asked: "Are you just delivering a message this time?"
Governor Konishi replied: "Of course I have a mission. The Commander-in-Chief sent me to ask Danaya if he still wants to fight together?
If Da Nayan has no intention of sending troops, then he will first mobilize his troops to conquer Daoshan City."
Tokugawa Ieyasu replied without any emotion: "Thanks to Lin Jingluo for your kind care, but I cannot tell outsiders in detail how I use my troops."
No matter how provocative you are, Tianshuai, I will always put myself first.
At this time, a very troubled look appeared on Mr. Konishi's face, and he said hesitantly: "Actually, I still have some news about the Ming army. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "As long as it is news about the Ming army, there is nothing that cannot be said."
President Konishi said: "Yesterday I went to see Commander Tian, and when I walked outside the tent, I overheard the conversation between Commander Tian and Commander-in-Chief Ma Gui.
They said that the 20,000 men of the Ming Dynasty Navy should soon arrive in the southeastern sea and may land at Xishengpo."
Everyone in the enclosure was moved. Their 40,000 soldiers and horses came from the direction of Xishengpu! If the Ming Navy landed at Xishengpu, it would be equivalent to cutting off their retreat!
Tokugawa Ieyasu always felt that this scene looked familiar. In the Three Kingdoms, there was not only Sima Yi, but also Jiang Qian stealing books!
You, Lin Tailai, use the allusions of the Three Kingdoms endlessly, right?
Then Tokugawa Ieyasu felt a deep pain in his balls. This kind of news that did not know whether it was true or false would only make people more upset.
He couldn't help but question: "Is the news true or false? Did Lin Tailai let you hear it on purpose?"
President Konishi said very irresponsibly: "How did I know this? I just heard a few words."
Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but look at Shimazu Yoshihiro, the leader of Satsuma Domain, what do you have in mind?
Kyushu Island has always been the window for Japan's "external exchanges", and Kyushu Island's Satsuma Domain has been an old comprador for hundreds of years, and has a relatively better understanding of foreign situations.
Shimazu Yoshihiro frowned and said: "Today, the main trading seaport of the Ming Dynasty is in the southeastern province of Fujian, which is a region further away than Ningbo.
Therefore, the elite of the Ming Dynasty Navy are also in Fujian, and in more than half a year from last year to this year, enough Fujian Navy arrived."
Tokugawa Ieyasu continued: "If it is really possible that the Ming Dynasty navy will arrive, then our army should retreat in time to avoid being annihilated by the enemy from the back and rear."
Asano Nagamasa had a different view, "If the navy news is true, then why would Lin Tailai need to leak it, and why would he need to keep challenging it?
Da Nayan, you have been standing still. Isn't that in line with Lin Tailai's wishes?
If there is a navy that is about to land, Lin Tailai doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the navy to land and outflank it!
Therefore, it should be that Lin Tai came to see Dana Yan and could not stand out. He could not find an opportunity to take advantage of it. He expected that there was no hope of defeating our army but did not want to continue to waste it.
He deliberately released the news about the navy to induce our army to retreat voluntarily, and then the Ming army could attack Daoshan City with all its strength without any worries."
If it hadn't been for a moment of complete despair, Asano Nagamasa would definitely not have given up on Shimayama Castle so easily, not only because his son was there, but also because there were a large number of direct descendants of the Toyotomi family there.
Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "Even if the news about the Ming Navy was deliberately released by Lin Tailai, it does not mean that it is definitely false news.
As the Art of War goes, what is true is false, and what is false is true. With Lin Tailai's cunningness, it is very possible that he released true news, but made us think it was false news."
Asano Nagamasa retorted: "Whether we hold on or retreat, can we win?
If just because of a rumor, the 40,000-strong army immediately gave up the rescue of Daoshan City and retreated directly, wouldn't it become a laughing stock in the world?
If you are worried that the Ming Dynasty navy will be attacked from the front and back due to the Ming Dynasty's landing at Xishengpo, in addition to retreating, there is another way to solve the problem!
That is to attack head-on, defeat Lin Tailai in front of you as quickly as possible, and relieve the crisis in Daoshan City!
In this way, even if 10,000 to 20,000 Ming naval forces land in the rear afterwards, what can they do to me?"
Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was the first to analyze, remained silent and listened to the two people's heated debate in silence.
Tachibana Munesege, the lord of the Yanagawa Domain who never spoke, initially felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu's words were reasonable, and later felt that Asano Nagamasa's words also made some sense.
Listening to both sides' arguments over and over again, the CPU in my brain is almost burning.
Governor Konishi, who had been ignored for a long time, couldn't help but said: "I, the envoy of the Ming Army, haven't left yet, so you are openly discussing the next step of action in front of me. Is that okay?"
