"Your Highness Taige?"

Terumoto Mori only felt that he had misheard Toyotomi Hideyoshi's order, "Tokugawa Ieyasu raised troops in Kanto, claiming to clear the emperor's side, but instead of going to Kanto to rebel, you want to conquer Yuqiu?"

"That's right." Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered in a deep voice in the castle tower of Nagoya Castle in front of all the daimyo of the world, "The Imagawa clan is well connected with the Ming Dynasty, and the purpose of going to Korea is to harmonize internally and externally, which will kill our imperial conquest."

An army of hundreds of thousands! The evidence is conclusive!"

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the person behind him immediately held up the evidence taken from Maeda Toshiie and circulated it to the astonished lords all over the world.

"Haven't you noticed that the daimyo who are closely related to Imagawa Jihei, whether it's Ikeda Tsuneki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Mori Kotaka, or all the daimyo who are closely related to Imagawa Jihei, have all fled by boat, who is left behind in this guard house?"

City?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't hide the smile on his lips, pacing back and forth in the hall, "This is a long-planned traitor. He wants to sell us to the Ming Dynasty. How can we fulfill his wish? What if?

If we really fell into his trap and went to conquer Kanto, wouldn't it give the Red Leaf Army an opportunity to raise troops in the territory and attack us from east to west?"

"All the famous people in the world listen to my orders and follow me to conquer Maple Leaf Mountain City!"

·

At the same time, under Pyongyang City.

Everyone who was preparing to enjoy the delicious food and banquet suddenly heard the sound of gunfire outside. They hurriedly rushed out of the main tent, only to find that the camp of the Hongye Army was facing the siege of the Kato family, the Kuroda family and the Fukushima family. Konishiyuki

The commander had already finished dressing up and went to the front line to command the troops to resist. However, in the face of the overwhelming numerical advantage, the defensive battle immediately fell into decline.

"This is..." Tsunemoto Ikeda stared at everything in front of him in stunned silence, "Are the Toyotomi daimyo planning to attack us?"

"Send a signal quickly and ask my father to come for support!" Maeda Toshinaga was jumping anxiously at this moment and shouted to the flag bearer of the Red Leaf Army, "The Maeda family's troops are in Pyongyang!"

·

At this time, inside the palace of Pyongyang City.

"Brother, don't you even care about Matashiro?" Imagawa Shihei looked at Maeda Toshiie calmly, "That child is still in our army's camp."

"So did you realize before that I might rebel? That's why you tricked Inuko and all the children into your camp?" Maeda Toshiie's face instantly darkened.

"Actually no, I just had a premonition that something was going to happen, so I called all the children to come to my military camp for protection. After all, they left their own troops and were wandering around Pyongyang with only their guards. What if something happened?

It's an accident, but it's less of a disaster." Imagawa Ujihei whispered very frankly, and then took a deep look at the Tian Toshiro family in front of him, "On the other hand, big brother, you... knew that you were about to attack me, and you still let Matashiro go.

Come to my camp? If my front legs are killed here, Matashiro’s hind legs will be cut into pieces by my angry subordinates, right? In order not to alert the enemy, you don’t even want your own child?”

"..." Maeda Toshiie's body shook even more violently, and his eyes were horribly red. After a long moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Can you not kill the child? I am the only person in the Maeda family who knows about this.

Along with several family elders, no one else knew about it. He, like his mother, knew nothing and was kept in the dark."

"In exchange, can you let me go?" Imagawa Ujihira showed a teasing smile, and Maeda Toshiie said in a deep voice as if he was really irritated: "How is that possible, Momiji, you have to die here!"

"Then you expect a dying man's last order to be to let go of the murderer's child?" Imagawa Ujihira laughed twice more, and Maeda Toshiie's face instantly turned pale. He took a few deep breaths, but his Adam's apple

Still shaking violently.

"I can really do this kind of thing. Don't worry. I gave an order to my subordinates before entering the city. No matter what happens, we must treat these gentlemen well." What Imagawa Ujihira said next made Maeda

Li Jia was shocked.

"Why?" Maeda Toshiie couldn't believe Imagawa Ujihei's

Even though he has always been a man of great promise.

"Because I'm a bad guy who promises a lot of money, haven't you already known that? It's been more than thirty years, and it's still not enough for you to recognize me?" Imagawa Shihei smiled and shook his head, reaching for his arms. Maeda Toshiie instantly

His face tightened, and he scolded in a low voice: "Don't move!"

"Don't get me wrong." Seeing Maeda Toshiie's fierce reaction, Imagawa Shihei slowly raised his hands and signaled Maeda Toshiie with his eyes, "You can get it yourself, it's in my arms."

Maeda Toshiie glanced at Imagawa Ujihei suspiciously, and finally stretched out his left hand to grab Imagawa Ujihei's arms. His body was fully focused on keeping on guard, for fear that Imagawa Ujihei would use the few moments of his movement to make some counterattack -

—But Imagawa Ujihira obviously has no such intention.

"This is..." Maeda Toshiie pinched something that looked like an envelope, pulled it out blankly, and found that it was a letter.

"After Mrs. Matsu heard that I was coming to Korea, she asked me to bring you a letter from home." Imagawa said calmly, but that calm and relaxed tone seemed to put a huge weight on Maeda Toshiie's heart in an instant.

"She asked me to take more care of you and Matashiro, eldest brother, and to protect you. I promised her, and I always keep my promise. So now I will not kill Matashiro, but will bring him back to you safely."

Maeda Toshiie's breathing became rapid, and sweat continued to seep out on his forehead.

"Red leaves..."

"Even without this promise, brother, do you think I would do anything to that child Matashiro? I watched him grow up, and there is nothing I can say to do it." Imagawa Ujihira added.

, but almost instantly broke down Maeda Toshiie's psychological defense.

Maeda Toshiie will never forget how he got through the most difficult moment in those years. He was chased and released for killing Oda Nobunaga's nickname. He had no source of salary, but his wife Osomatsu happened to be pregnant, and the child was...

Now Matashiro, pregnant women need nutrition the most, but at that time, Maeda Toshiie, who was penniless at the time, could not scrape together any money, so he could only watch Osomatsu eating rice bran, and he was so anxious that he wanted to die. He had no choice but to

Under the circumstances, he had to work as a bodyguard for the merchants who came and went to earn some change, but it was still a drop in the bucket. At the most desperate time, Yu Qiupei, who was still in the Imagawa family at the time, funded a large school of Maeda Toshiie without caring about the identity of the enemy.

money.

This kind of kindness will be remembered by Maeda Toshiie and Osomatsu for a lifetime. They often told Maeda Toshinaga since he was a child: tell him that his father's adopted brother is such a good person; tell him that he will become such a person in the future.

But now Maeda Toshiie is betraying that good man and wants to kill him with his own hands. The inner torment makes Maeda Toshiie almost collapse, and the goodwill Imagawa Ujihei still has even at the moment of death makes him feel ashamed.

"Let's go...little brother..." Maeda Toshiie struggled for a long time, unconsciously using an old name that he had not used for many years, and muttered quickly in one breath: "You go to the Ming Dynasty, I will send you out quietly, and I will tell the public that you are dead.

.Then you promise me that you will never return to Japan again incognito. You have always made your promises, and you will not lie to me, right? This counts as your death, right? I will find a way to save Mrs. Feng and your children, and bring them

I'll send you to Ming Dynasty together."

After saying that, he raised his head with difficulty and looked at Imagawa Ujihira's face, only to find that the latter showed a happy and happy smile.

"That's great." Imagawa Ujihira sighed with relief.

"Brother, I don't have to kill you."

·

"What are you talking about?" Maeda Toshiie failed to follow Imagawa Ujihira's brain circuit.

"I said I don't need to kill you. Because you relented in the end and didn't have any intention to kill me." Imagawa Ujihira ignored the white blade Maeda Toshiie put on his neck, stood up slowly, and took out a thousand swords from his waist.

bird.

"It's useless to draw the sword, you are no match for me." Maeda Toshiie tightened his expression again and lowered his voice, "Don't I still know your martial arts skills?

?You’ve been half-assed since you were little, how can you compare with my gun skills? Stop messing around, I can’t guarantee that I can catch you without any injuries if you really fight."

"But I can guarantee that I will capture you without any injuries." Imagawa Shihei smiled, then straightened his expression, "Come on."

·

Maeda Toshiie, who fell against the wall, waited for a long time and didn't realize what had just happened. He didn't understand how Imagawa Ujihei's amazing body skills and dodge ability were learned. No matter how he swung the sword, he just couldn't see it -

—Several times, it was obvious from Toshiie Maeda’s perspective that they were all hit. But anyway, the result would not change. Toshiie Maeda’s saber was knocked away by Imagawa Ujihei’s sword, and he himself was also struck by Imagawa Ujihei’s Chidori.

The metal scabbard was knocked to the ground. How did Imagawa Ujihira develop his martial arts to such an extent in just ten years?

Afterwards, Imagawa Ujihira walked up to him, lifted Maeda Toshiie up and blocked him in front of him, then put Chidori on his neck and pushed him to the door of the house.

"I'll open the door later. You order all your subordinates to step back and let me out. Is that okay?"

"Don't waste your efforts Momiji, what can you do even if you capture me?" Maeda Toshiie shook his head, panting and whispered, "Now outside the city, the soldiers of the Kato family, Fukushima family, and Kuroda family are already here

We have suddenly launched an attack and are besieging your military camp. My people have just sent out a signal at the top of Pyongyang City. The daimyo from the Toyotomi clan in the south will soon swarm in. That is an army of nearly 100,000 people. Yuqiu

The Daimyo's troops are all in the east, and their contact has been cut off by us, so they can't come. You can't stop them just by relying on the less than 20,000 people you have at hand."

"Who said I only have less than 20,000 people?" Imagawa Ujihira complained very dissatisfiedly, and then whispered, "Okay, brother, just do as you do, I won't make it difficult for you. Let me go.

Just go out, I don't even force the Maeda family to join my side."

"Where does your confidence come from?" Maeda Toshiie felt that the man behind him became more and more terrifying, so terrifying that he felt a little strange.

Imagawa Ujihira felt that maybe he should say something more serious and handsome at this moment to complete his style. But when the words came to his lips, it was difficult for him to resist the temptation to make jokes——

"I, the Ming Dynasty, am invincible in the world."

·

Soon after, the battle outside Pyongyang.

At this moment, Kato Kiyomasa was commanding his men to storm the camp led by Konishi Yukinaga. Seeing that the Red Leaf Army was gradually exhausted. During the expedition to Korea, Kato Kiyomasa was invincible, which also earned him the reputation of "Tora Kato". Self-confidence

He was so angry that he didn't take the former drug dealer Konishi Governor seriously and stepped up his offensive.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a faint vibration from the north. The shouts of killing on the battlefield were so intense that they covered up the sounds from the north. Wait until Kato Kiyomasa jumped off the horse and put his ears to the ground to listen.

Only then did he realize that the sound of horse hooves was very close.

"Go and find out! What's going on! Why is there a large group of cavalry in the north? We don't have any deployment in the north. The information His Highness Maeda received from Imagawa Jibu also said that the Ming army will not be able to prepare enough food and grass to march in cooperation with Imagawa Jibu until the spring of next year.

, It’s definitely not them. Could it be the remnants of the North Korean army? They did seem to run out with a group of cavalry... If it’s North Korean soldiers, there’s nothing to be afraid of, and you don’t even need to worry about it.” Kato Kiyomasa shouted at the explorers.

He yelled, thinking about it secretly in his mind. But he didn't need to think about it for long, and soon a horse came back quickly.

"Tell me, who is it?" Kato Kiyomasa asked casually to the knight who was rushing behind him while observing the loopholes in Konishi Yukinaga's defense line.

What answered him was the cold blade cutting off his body, the tall horse passing over him, and a dismissive casual report.

"Admiral Li Rusong of the Ming Dynasty."
