Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Six: Suo Ren
"What, the third child was assassinated? Damn that little wimp, I'm going to chop him alive!"
As soon as he heard that Wang Bing was assassinated by a Japanese pirate, Qi Zhenzong immediately became furious.
"Brother Qi, don't worry about revenge for now. The most important thing now is that we must quickly invite Mr. Xu back to detoxify the general, otherwise the general will be in danger for another day!"
"Send the order, the army will set off immediately and attack Tsurumaru Castle!"
After being reminded by Man Hai, Qi Zhenzong also realized that now was not the time to settle accounts with those Japanese scoundrels.
"Brother Qi, you can't. It's too risky to directly lead an army to ask for people! If Shimazu Yoshihisa doesn't agree or delays the time, isn't that putting the Marquis in danger?"
After hearing Qi Zhenshi's order for the army to attack Tsurumaru City, Guo Guoan, Qi Zhenzong's deputy general, quickly spoke to stop him.
Speaking of which, Wang Bing greatly admired this overseas loyal minister who risked his life with Xu Yihou to collect information about the Japanese and predicted the Japanese's advance route and countermeasures.
In addition, he was very familiar with the situation of the Japanese country, so after capturing Seoul, Wang Bing directly sent him to the Habayashi Guards. Then he temporarily granted him the position of Thousand Households, and took him back from North Korea.
Japanese country.
"Uh, this...so what good idea does Brother Guo have?"
Hearing what Guo Guoan said, not only Qi Zhenzong, but also Man Hai also believed it.
"It's better than this. Brother Qi, you can lead the army and slow down the advance a little, and let me sneak back to Tsurumaru City to see if I can get Mr. Xu out of the dark. If it fails, Brother Qi, you can't force the army to force the enemy."
Not too late!"
In the expectant eyes of Qi Zhenzong and Man Hai, Guo Guoan volunteered and planned to sneak back to Tsurumaru City to pick Xu Yi out first, in case Shimazu Yoshihisa blocked him and delayed it.
"Well, then let's do what Brother Guo said! If anything goes wrong, I will lead an army to attack the city to help!"
After just a moment's thought, Qi Panzong agreed to Guo Guoan's suggestion.
…
"Brother Guo, am I right? I heard that the Japanese army was defeated. How did you come back?"
Seeing Guo Guoan appearing in front of her, Xu Yihou, who had been worried about him, suddenly couldn't help but get excited.
"Thank you so much for your concern, Brother Xu. Everything is well with me! This time, I came with the imperial army to conquer the Japanese... When I came back this time, I asked Brother Xu..."
After briefly explaining his situation, Guo Guoan then revealed his purpose of sneaking back to Tsurumaru Castle this time.
"What? Are you saying that the champion was hit by a poisonous bullet from a ninja? Then what are you waiting for? Come on, come on, this matter can't be delayed!"
As soon as Guo Guoan finished explaining the reason for the incident, Xu Yihou quickly started packing the medicine box without saying a word, preparing to leave with Guo Guoan and head to Nagoya.
"Brother Xu is so righteous!"
…
"Where does Xu Sang want to go? My lord has always been kind to you and even saved your life several times. Why does Xu Sang want to go with this traitor now?"
What Guo Guoan and Xu Yihou didn't expect was that just as they stepped out of Xu Yihou's house, a group of Japanese warriors holding fire guns surrounded them.
It turned out that when Guo Guoan had just sneaked back to the castle town of Tsurumaru Castle, he had been discovered and recognized by some samurai who also lived in the castle town, and then reported it to Shimazu Yoshihisa, the de facto family governor.
"I am originally from the Ming Dynasty. Now that I have returned to the Ming Dynasty, how can I be called a traitor?"
Seeing that these people recognized him, Guo Bian took off the bamboo hat on his head and stared at the leading warrior in front of him with a cold expression.
"I am now the general manager of the Ming Dynasty's campaign against Japan, and an officer of Qianhu of the Yulin Guards under the command of the Champion Marquis! On the order of the Champion Marquis, I am taking Mr. Xu to Minghuwu and his party!"
Before the Japanese warrior across from him could speak, Guo Guoan showed his Habayashi Wei Qianhu waist card.
"You...you...even if you are now an official of Qianhu in the Ming Dynasty, why are you ordering us?"
After seeing that Guo Guoan's identity was revealed, not only did he not feel guilty at all, but he openly revealed his identity as an official of Qianhu in the Ming Dynasty, which made the Japanese warrior who was the leader feel guilty for a moment.
"Ono-kun, take us to see the lord!"
By this time, Xu Yihou also knew that it was impossible to leave quietly, so he simply asked the samurai to 'escape' herself and Guo Guoan to see Shimazu Yoshihisa.
"How can it be that my lord, a criminal like you, can see him whenever he wants?"
After meeting Xu Yi, she asked to meet Shimazu Yoshihisa. This "Ono-kun" who was previously shocked and angry by Guo Guoan, now looked proud.
"Ono-kun, it's not up to you to decide whether my lord sees me or not! If you stop me again and miss my lord's important event, just wait and apologize by committing seppuku!"
…
"My lord, the general trend is general. Even Lord Taige is trembling under the front of our great tomorrow's army. How can my lord resist the heavenly army with a small army?"
What Shimazu Yoshihisa didn't expect was that when Xu Yihou and Guo Guoan were brought before him, Xu Yihou, who had always been gentle, was the first to persuade him to surrender on behalf of the Ming army that had not yet arrived.
"Three officials, the bravery of our Satsuma army is known to the whole country. Moreover, the terrain of Tsurumaru Castle is dangerous. If I rely on the city to hold on..."
Obviously, although Shimazu Yoshihisa disapproved of the monkey's "Western Expedition", he was also unwilling to surrender to the Ming army.
"My lord, for the sake of my past lord's care, I will never call you lord again!"
Before Shimazu Yoshihisa could finish what he said, Guo Guoan interrupted him in the process of 'pumping him up'.
"My lord, all the elite members of the Shimazu family are in North Korea now. No matter how dangerous the terrain of Tsurumaru Castle is, how long can my lord hold on without support from others? Is my lord still waiting for that Lord Taikaku to come and save you? He has too much time to take care of himself now.
, even if you have the heart, you don’t have the strength!”
"My lord, you may not know yet, but the arrogant Taiko-sama's 150,000 "Western Expedition" army, except for the Shimazu family and the Kuroda family who still have a total of about 20,000 people, the other hundreds of thousands of troops have all been
Annihilate for the champion. Do you think the Satsuma army, no matter how elite it is, can compare with the hundreds of thousands of so-called 'North Korean Expeditionary Forces'?"
In order to undermine Shimazu Yoshihiro's confidence, Guo Guoan even told the news that Shimazu Yoshihiro had surrendered and that the Japanese invading army had been annihilated.
"Guo Sang, these words... these words should be taken... seriously!"
Faced with the shocking news brought by Guo Guoan, Shimazu Yoshihisa was immediately shocked.
There was no way, the entire army of more than 100,000 people was destroyed, which was much more shocking than the news he had heard before that almost the entire navy had been destroyed.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
However, what shocked him even more was that just as he finished speaking, several loud noises like thunder from the blue suddenly exploded in his ears.
"The champion has invited Xu Yihou, Mr. Xu!!!"
