Chapter 354 Traitors and Rebels

Mori Terumoto on the top of the wall also changed his face in shock when he saw the flags that belonged exclusively to the Japanese army.

"Impossible, it must be a cover-up of the Ming Dynasty! They captured these flags and put on our armor to create a false scene of guards everywhere rebelling and attacking the city. The purpose is to shake our army's morale!"

"Everyone, don't be deceived by Ming's tricks!"

"Calm down, don't mess yourself up!"

When Mori Terumoto saw those flags, he immediately issued an order to stabilize his generals and stabilize the morale of the army at the same time!At this moment, no matter whether it is the enemy's flag or your own flag that appears in front of you, no matter who appears in front of you, they are all disguised by people from the Ming country, and it is a trick of the Ming army!
"Those who come from the front, no matter who they are, are all enemies!"

"Don't waver, stop them here firmly!"

If the army's morale is shaken at this time, then even a war that must be won may be lost. One horse is worth a thousand, and the less hits more. In addition to quality, the most important thing is morale.

Of course, if you say that you are not surprised, it is of course impossible!

It's just that Mori Terumoto didn't want to believe that those generals who were in the same camp as him would suddenly rebel and join the Ming camp.

but
"Is it true that they will not rebel? Or, in fact, they have rebelled long ago?"

Kuroda Nagamasa's voice sounded beside Mori Terumoto, making him turn his head away in horror.

"Yes, right? Shimadzu and Kobayakawa happened before. The generals on the Eastern Front and the Western Front rebelled at the same time, and some other generals, Date and Uesugi said they were captured. But in fact we also I didn’t see the Ming army bringing them to the front to humiliate us, maybe they have been imprisoned in Pyongyang, or it may be”

"They also have their own differences."

Kuroda Nagamasa began to analyze coldly: "To be honest, I blamed Ieyasu on my impulse before, but now that I think about it carefully, Ieyasu will not be a traitor. If he wants to rebel, he will not just leave a whole army for the Ming army, and He also told us that we want to cooperate, and for a partner, there is no need to perform this drama again, unless he does not trust us."

"But trust is something that can be given as soon as we meet. Naturally, there must be a process."

"So I was thinking, Master Hideyoshi sent Ieyasu, the commander of the Eastern Kingdom, as the new general. Does it mean that a large number of Western Army troops have already had two hearts, and they have already begun to collude with the Ming Dynasty? Woolen cloth?"

"Until now, we clearly know that the only ones who were killed are Kongo Daizo and Kimorita Layman. These two people were sent by Emperor Jimmu, and they can never be betrayed. There is also Onmyo Assistant Xingjing Tokutomo , his Yin-Yang Soul Lamp has gone out, which means he is really dead."

"Sword Saint Liu Shengzong Mo, a large number of his swords fell into the hands of the enemy, and he died. The evil spirits of the two big monsters, the Giant Skeleton Monster and the Waterfall King, also dissipated, indicating that they were also killed. Finally, Kato Kiyomasa and Tachibana Munemo, these are the first and second generals who were clearly killed, and the deaths of the two of them are certain things."

"As for the others, are they really dead? Excluding Shimadzu and Xiuqiu, many regiment leaders are missing. Although they reported that they were dead, the information given by the Ming army was 'captives'."

The doubts in Kuroda Nagamasa's heart are getting bigger and bigger, and Mori Terumoto is also frightened.

"In other words, these people have been waiting for an opportunity for a long time?"

The attack on Ulsan this time was not to fight hard and turn back, but to open the door early to welcome the king?
Looking at Mori Terumoto's terrified face, Kuroda Nagamasa suddenly sighed: "Actually, I already had a premonition that this day would come, but I didn't expect them to defect to the Ming Kingdom so blatantly and turn against us."

"Is this because they have completely abandoned their family members and families in the country? I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two generals who defected so resolutely, but now there is a large-scale defection of generals, who is leading this? Is it the Shimadzu family and the Kobayakawa family?"

"It is now the sixth year that Master Guan Bai launched this war against North Korea and Ming! We are still here in North Korea, and even half of the country is unstable. Many people have complained and don't want to fight anymore .”

"So, as long as a person with a strong identity raises his arms, it is entirely possible for a large number of generals to defect to the opposite side on the spot."

"Ieyasu just got here, so it can't be him."

"Brother Maoli, don't you think it was Uesugi Jingsheng's rebellion that led to a large number of defections?"

Mori Terumoto was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How is this possible! Uesugi Jingsheng and I are the same as the five priests, and there is the Tenkaji bow and the Tianyu feather arrow bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor Jimmu. Do you want to say that he is not honored by His Majesty the Emperor? Controlled, killed the two fellow immortals, and then took refuge in the Ming Kingdom?"

However, Kuroda Nagamasa resolutely said: "It may not be impossible!"

"It is precisely because he holds the divine weapon that he has the ability to fight against immortals, and may even threaten Lord Guan Bai! You don't know how powerful these two divine weapons are, do you? This is a special weapon for killing immortals and gods!"

"If in exchange for these two artifacts, Uesugi Jingsheng took refuge in that Immortal of Ming Kingdom, and then shot and killed His Majesty the Emperor Shenmu as a condition, do you think that Immortal of Ming Kingdom will help him?"

"And you may not know that guy Uesugi is no longer human."

Kuroda Nagamasa said something that Mori Terumoto didn't know, and Mori Terumoto also listened with a surprised expression, his face was full of disbelief, and then his face became extremely ugly.

"How could such a thing happen? Is this our final destination?"

"Refining people into this kind of wraith monster! Abandoning the flesh and blood as a human body, isn't this even weirder than demons!"

"This will affect future generations!"

Mori Terumoto's expression was distorted, extremely angry, and then he looked at Kuroda Nagamasa with mixed feelings: "It seems that when you knew about this, you already had an objection? Could it be that you led the Ming army along the way?" Can't come?"

Kuroda Nagamasa laughed: "I just have this idea! But I didn't do anything! You know me, if I open the door for these Ming soldiers, there will be more than one army coming in!"

"You can't smear my innocence out of thin air."

Mori Terumoto thought for a while, and said: "I heard that the immortals on the Middle Earth side are not fake immortals here! They are real immortals who have reached the heaven and then fell down. If Jingsheng Uesugi Betrayed, he must want to ask the other party to help him recover his body."

"There are still some! Didn't His Majesty the Emperor Shenmu tell us that there have been a few true immortals in China in recent years?"

With a more ambitious goal, it is natural not to put small interests in the eyes.

Kuroda Nagamasa nodded in affirmation.

After such a thorough analysis, Mori Terumoto felt extremely worried.

The two retreated from the top of the wall, Mori Terumoto said in a low voice:
"The war launched by Guan Bai has indeed lasted for too long. There is no way to win the national fortune of North Korea. As long as there is interference from the Ming Dynasty, this matter will not be completed."

"If the fight continues, there will really be no males in our country. A world without people, even if it is to rule, it has no meaning. No one produces, no one works, no one fishes and hunts, no one treats Merchants, when there are none of these, the scholar class is just an empty shell, which also loses its practical significance."

"Are we going to live in a world full of demons?"

"It's better to turn against him!"

Kuroda Nagamasa was shaken, and tentatively said: "You mean, we rebel directly and vote to the Ming Dynasty?"

Mori Teruhito's anger surged in his heart, but after his expression changed a few times, the ruddy anger subsided, his face became pale, and after two or three breaths of silence, he shook his head bitterly: "No, it must be." Otherwise, but not so clearly.”

"I don't have the courage of those people to dare to rebel directly. I just said, we can withdraw."

"My family business is very large, and the territory I control is the top among all the famous names in the country. If I just give up, my family members in the mainland will be implicated, and future generations will also be affected."

"Even if we want to rebel against Guan Bai and take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, we must at least relocate all the members of the family overseas. And if we surrender now, I'm afraid we won't get much benefit. Isn't there a saying that adding icing on the cake is easy, but sending charcoal in the snow is not easy." is it hard."

Kuroda Nagamasa said: "Surrendering now may not be the icing on the cake. There are [-] troops here. The Ming army and the rebels, it is not easy to capture the city of Ulsan. Many people will inevitably die, and if we surrender, then this loss can be avoided."

"But what you said is right. There are still so many people in the family and so many properties. You can't give up easily. Although those who do big things don't care about small things, but this time the thing to be done is really too big. This is not assassination or rebellion. It is not a certain daimyo, but it is really necessary to exchange interests between countries, and the price of this exchange is huge.”

Voting certificate is not so easy to deal with.

"If we want to do this, we must do it secretly. I don't want future generations to become ghost monsters like Uesugi! And maybe, Guan Bai himself is no longer human! He also wants to turn us into Become an inhuman!"

Mori Terumoto gritted his teeth, and then mentioned an incident from years ago.

"Do you still remember the period of Guan Bai's "resurrection from the dead"? Although many people said that he was wrong, but I think it may be that he is really turning into some monster. Looking at it now, maybe it is with Uesugi The same wraith monster."

"It's almost the same as Emperor Sutoku in ancient times!"

The sound of the cannons outside gradually weakened, and some soldiers retreated from the top of the city and told Terumoto and Mori that the offensive outside had stopped, the troops were retreating, and all the siege facilities erected by the Ming army were completely destroyed!
"Okay, okay! There is a chance to breathe! The momentum of this group of Ming troops has been blocked, and they have been exhausted again and again. Their next offensive will definitely not be as violent as this one! Tell everyone, take a break, obey orders, and do not act without authorization. Leave the post and guard! Those who violate the order will be cut off!"

After Mori Terumoto conveyed the order, he and Kuroda Nagamasa immediately went to report to Tokugawa Ieyasu. On the way, they were still discussing how to secretly rebel. It was discovered when the fight started, so there must be some secret works in the country now, as long as you can get online with them, you can get a certain unofficial identity, and pass on Hideyoshi's information for a long time, which can also bring huge benefits to Ming. Benefit.

This is credit.

A great achievement that can be obtained without paying the price of life.

As for the assassination of Hideyoshi, according to their thinking, if it is correct, Hideyoshi is no longer a human being, and conventional assassination methods are useless to him, so just don't think about this kind of thing at all, instead it will not show flaws.

"In short, we must first return to China from the Korean battlefield, no matter what form it is. If it doesn't work, let's mutilate our legs."

The two retreated and came to Tokugawa Ieyasu's room, only to find that the guards outside had been knocked down. The two were shocked and hurried into the room. It was full of blood, and his expression immediately changed!
"Master Ieyasu!"

"General! Did the assassin sneak in?"

This is just a joke, with Ieyasu's divine power, how could he be injured like this by an ordinary assassin!And there was no news of any fighting here just now!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's face was pale. He caught the two people who came and asked about the battle situation first. After learning that the Ming army had retreated, he showed a "gratified" smile on his face, and then coughed:
"The person who assassinated me was Xiuqiu! This guy, using my Shadow Warrior to lead the way, has sneaked into this city long ago. He has Qiongqiong Chuzun's god in his hand, and he can summon a counterfeit Tian Congyun Sword! I It was injured by Tian Congyun Sword."

"But it's okay, I can't die for the time being. I have a secret method, which just burns some blood essence and doesn't harm my life. But after the secret method is over, it will take a while to recover."

"If you two want to kill me now, do it immediately."

Terumoto Mao was startled, but he said anxiously: "What did Ieyasu-sama say, the two of us are not careful! Don't try it out at this critical moment!"

Kuroda Nagamasa said that I am the same. I used to accuse you just out of anger, but now that you see him lying in a pool of blood, you know that you are really loyal and patriotic!
"Damn Xiuqiu! Isn't he afraid that his family will be destroyed in Japan! He did this to achieve his own glory and wealth! How dare this coward take such a risk to sneak in himself!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu wiped the blood from his mouth, and said weakly: "How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's lair? Xiuqiu dared to assassinate me, which is considered a grown-up. It's a pity that you betrayed Lord Guanbai. It's really a crime."

"Shadow warriors told me some news. Tonight, after the Ming army launched an attack, our side will start to shift. There are many flags and torches on the city, and straw men in armor stand on the top of the city. Others are not allowed to make any noise. Sacheon."

Mori Terumoto and the two were worried about not knowing how to run away. Tokugawa Ieyasu's order at this time immediately made them feel a timely rain, but they still had to ask:
"Lord Ieyasu, the morale of our army is high, and we just repelled the Ming army and those rebels. How can we leave at this time?"

"Reinforcements can arrive in two days, and Ulsan City is indestructible, so how scary."

Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed: "Hey! A large number of swords are coming! Let me tell you, the immortal sent by the emperor has failed! The immortal of the Ming Dynasty will come soon. I will stay here because I have lived a long time. Do you want to resist a large number of swords?"

"Although I have treasures that can resist a large number of swords, which can reverse the nature of the country's prestige, but in my current state, I really can't face that Ming Dynasty fairy, and I can't activate the power of the treasures, so I can only retreat to Sacheon and wait for me. Recover and make plans again!"
