Yi Tusheng's annihilation war against Hakata Castle caused a panic in the entire country within three days. All daimyos, including the Tokugawa shogunate, took action, expanded their arms, built city walls, contacted foreign aid, and restored diplomacy. They also wrote letters to Yi Tusheng, asking what Yi Tusheng's attack was for in the Ming Dynasty. In their eyes, this was clearly a nameless war. It was too unreasonable and too untenable. It was too barbaric. No one was provoking the Ming Dynasty to attack.

Originally, Izuki's attack did not have any foothold, but Izuki still had a Nishio Emperor. When it was time to make some use of it, Izuki immediately announced to the world that Emperor Nishio asked him to support the royal family, and declared that as long as these daimyo put down their weapons and left the Tokugawa shogunate, they would be safe and sound. So these daimyos were immediately stunned and had nothing to say.

Just when they were panicked and had no sense of direction and backbone, Tokugawa Hidetachi returned from the sea. The first thing after Tokugawa Hidetachi returned was to use the authority of the shogunate to call on all Japan's troops to fight against the Ming army, but he did not arrest the Nishio royal family and massacre collectively, because that would probably arouse the dissatisfaction of all Daming and make the Tokugawa shogunate defeated faster.

"Our next goal is to cross the 'Asama Mountain' in Japan and attack the Ikeda family and Kitaki family entrenched in the two cities of Osumi. According to information, since we eliminated the Yagyu family, the Ikeda family and Kitaki family have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, gathering nearly 20,000 troops to fight against the king's army, so the king decided to attack them first." After receiving news from all sides, Yi Tusheng immediately convened a military meeting to determine the next battle direction.

Last night, Ichitomo received a letter from Oda Nobuo, proving that Oda Nobuo had returned to his fiefdom in Japan. Oda Nobuo introduced the various daimyos in the Kyushu area in detail: the most powerful daimyo in the Kyushu area should be Otomo Sorin of the Otomo family and Shimazu Kishi of the Shimazu family. Among them, Otomo Sorin is already a hundred years old this year and was once a warlord as famous as Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The strength of any of these two families is much stronger than the strength of the other six small warlords. As for the Maori Moto, located at the junction of Shikoku and Kyushu, it is also a very large family leader. However, his army has been stationed in the northern foothills of Asama Mountain for a long time, where the terrain is complex and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the situation is complicated, so Ichitomo would not take the initiative to participate in the exhibitions in the Kyushu area, so Ichitomo would not consider him for the time being. In addition, Maori Moto was also one of the five masters of the shogunate.

As for the two families of Ikeda and Kitaki, the reason why they were so unlucky that they became Yi Tusheng's next military target was that because of their oath and alliance, Yi Tusheng was unwilling to see the situation of unity of the Japanese. So when he heard about such a thing, he immediately decided to turn the army that had originally targeted the Gu Qi family and the two small warlords.

Geng Zhongming stood up and said, "Prince, we have 200,000 troops at present, and we are well-equipped and we are full of food and grass, and we are very energetic. There is no need to attack one city or another. Please give me a team of people. The general will also take down the two cities of Hinaga and Toyogo near Osumi Castle. The general has investigated it clearly. The two families of Tanaka and Kida are entrenched here, which are the weak Dainame."

"Prince, the general is willing to lead his troops to attack the territory of Otomo's family!"

"Prince, please give the general a soldier. The general will go and razed the Shimazu family to the ground!"

After Geng Zhongming said, the generals from all walks of life stood up and recommended themselves to ask Yi Tusheng for his own order, and they wanted to lead troops to attack the city alone. Yi Tusheng waved his hand and signaled all the generals to sit down. Then he said, "Geng Zhongming's request can be met. Everyone else should wait a moment. The reason is very simple. First, Ikeda, Kita, Tanaka, Kita, and the Yagyu family who have been destroyed by us, their territory is in the easternmost part of Asama Mountain. If

If the warlords in Japan are rigidly divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower, then they belong to the inferior daimyo, and their strength is very weak and can be easily erased. However, the four daimyos in the northern and southern parts of Asamayama are all medium daimyos, especially the Maori Yuan should belong to the middle and upper daimyos, so we still don’t think about them for the time being. First eat up the five small families, connect the territory of the five families, gain a foothold, and then gradually move forward."

"Prince, the military book says: When fighting outside, the city will not attack the land and there will be no choice. It means that there is no need to be greedy for the gains and losses of a city, a pool, a place, and the central government should implement the method of breaking through the enemy and directly destroying the enemy's capital. This is like cutting off the head of a poisonous snake. No matter how thick the snake's body is, it will lose its ability to move because it has no head and slowly bleed. However, according to the prince's current meaning, it is clearly to want to attack one city, one city, which is contrary to the art of war, which is very undesirable."

The general who stood up to speak was named Lu Wanling. He was originally affiliated with the general of Jiujiang, Hua Sheng, and later followed a part of the Jiujiang naval army and was recruited to Yi Tusheng. This man was originally a student, both civil and military, resourceful, but he was not good at beating and playing with horses. Moreover, there was something wrong with his partner. Therefore, he has been excluded and depressed in his career recently. This time he was transferred to Yi Tusheng for serving because he used 200,000 taels of silver to bribe Jiujiang, Hua Sheng, that super playboy.

Lu Wanling is a smart and eloquent person. If he had made an ordinary mistake, Yi Tusheng would have been flattered by him and gave him some benefits. However, his mistake was very big, which made Yi Tusheng a little unbearable, and even felt like he wanted to vomit when he saw him.

So what unforgivable mistake did Mr. Lu make? It turns out that Lu Wanling once gave the emperor a memorial before Yi Tusheng came to the Ming Dynasty, firmly demanding that the court place Wei Zhongxian's tablet with Confucius, and said that this was the common wish of scholars all over the world. The storm caused was very huge at that time. The court officials argued in the hall for three days and three nights. In the end, the little emperor of Tianqi did not listen to Lu Wanling. Wei Zhongxian rewarded Lu Wanling heavily for this matter and promoted him from an unknown juren to a military general.

The Ming court's appointment and removal of civil servants was much stricter than the appointment and removal of military generals. It was impossible for juren like Lu Wanling who had not passed the palace examination to enter the official career. Wei Zhongxian's power was not that great at that time, so he could only arrange a position for him in the army and keep it for him to flatter him later.

Yi Tusheng originally wanted to scold Lu Wanling and his army, but when he spoke, he suddenly swallowed it back. His eyes turned around and thought to himself: Lu Wanling is so shameless and shameless, he should make good use of it. He can flatter Wei Zhongxian, which means that this kid can do anything. He is a shameless person. How can such talents not be reused? In the future, he still needs to help him stir up trouble.

In a blink of an eye, Yi Tusheng changed his mind. A hard-working face turned into a gentle breeze and bright moon. Yi Tusheng smiled slightly and waved his hand and said, "This is General Lu. I recognize you and know that you are a juren in the scientific examination. The one I respect most in my life is a scholar. Besides, you are a person like you who can shine anywhere you put both civil and military affairs. I admire you even more. You don't have to stand, just sit and reply."

Before getting up and talking, Lu Wanling was ready to be kicked out of the handsome tent. He knew the most about what Yi Tusheng and Wei Zhongxian had a relationship. He used to sing praises to Wei Zhongxian so hard, but Yi Tusheng felt uncomfortable. It was very common to scold himself and then drive him out. However, despite this, Lu Wanling decided to stand up and speak, and he still said: Wealth and honor are in danger. For the glory and prosperity of the second half of his life, it is very worth taking risks, because life is a gambling time and time again.

However, this time Lu Wanling felt that he had won the bet. Yi Tusheng's words made him so flattered that he couldn't speak. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting: "I dare not, I dare not."
