Chapter 1192 Failed Negotiation
The Ukita Hideo family had a high status in the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

He is a person whom Toyotomi Hideyoshi trusts very much, Toyotomi Hideji is also very familiar with him, and he has the right to speak, so if Ukita Hideyoshi's family can speak out to persuade, Toyotomi Hideji must be much calmer.

In order to maintain stability, Ishida Mitsunari felt that he had put in a lot of effort and effort.

"Understood, what you said is also reasonable, then I will do my best to keep His Highness calm, but I can't guarantee success, after all, this is Your Highness."

Ukita Hideka gave the highest promise, which greatly relieved Ishida Mitsunari.

He also thought that because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's enmity, the Ukita Hide family wanted to let Tokugawa Ieyasu die immediately.

"Although I really want Tokugawa Ieyasu to die, Taiko's foundation must also be preserved. While killing Tokugawa Ieyasu, I will not let Taiko's foundation be damaged, even if I pay the price of my life for it. No hesitation."

Ukita Hideyoshi’s family has no doubts about Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s loyalty to Ishida Mitsunari, because he is equivalent to Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s adopted son. When he was alone and helpless, Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought him up and gave him a high status. And power, his feelings for Toyotomi Hideyoshi are the same as those of father and son.

So anyone could betray, but Ukita Hideo's family could not betray, Ishida Mitsunari was relieved to entrust this matter to him.

So, Ishida Mitsunari set off.

Negotiations also need to be backed by military power. What is said to be unavailable on the battlefield cannot be obtained on the negotiating table. Without the backing of the army, negotiations will be ineffective. Therefore, Ishida Mitsunari has no objection to Asano Yukunaga leading troops to prepare for the war. Back country arming.

He sent a request letter for negotiation to the Tokugawa occupation army in Iwami country, which was quickly obtained by Jing Yi Naomasa.

As a military commander with diplomatic talents, Naomasa Ii has also served the Tokugawa family as a diplomat many times. Therefore, after receiving the diplomatic request, Naomasa Ii did not refuse. After thinking about it, he decided that the two sides would meet at the border between Ishimiya and Bingo. place for talks.

The time is one day later.

Ishida Mitsunari arrived in Bingo Country on March [-]th, and met with Asano Yukunaga.

Of course the process was not pleasant.

"No matter what you said to His Highness to make His Highness protect you, I will never forgive you."

Asano Yukunaga is very hostile to Ishida Mitsunari.

Ishida Mitsunari knew it very well, so he was not surprised, and remained calm.

"I don't have any opinion on what you want to think of me, but now it is His Highness's order to let me negotiate with the Tokugawa family. Please stand still and follow His Highness's order."

"Don't use your highness to suppress me!"

Yukinaga Asano shouted angrily: "If it wasn't for His Highness's face, I would have killed you that day!"

"That is after the destruction of the Tokugawa clan, and before the destruction of the Tokugawa clan, His Highness still needs my talents, so Your Excellency should be more rational."

Ishida Mitsunari's heart did not fluctuate.

Yukinaga Asano snorted, and stopped talking to Matsuna Ishida.

Back at the residence, Ishida Mitsunari couldn't help but worry about the future of the Toyotomi clan.

Toyotomi's future, how to save it?
Even if the Tokugawa clan can be destroyed, for him, he may not be able to escape what will inevitably happen in the future. Right now, it is just that there is a common enemy that is too powerful.

He doesn't know how things will develop, he only knows how to deal with tomorrow's events.

On March [-]th, Ishida Mitsunari and Ii Naomasa met in the agreed area.

"Your Excellency Ishida, I have admired you for a long time."

"Your Majesty Jing Yi, I have been admiring you for a long time."

The two met, although it was a polite remark, but what they said may not be untrue.

Ishida Mitsunari is an important mastermind under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he has a great reputation. Ii Naomasa is famous all over the world with his red team. Both of them are familiar with each other's reputation. This time, the diplomacy is evenly matched.

So the two sat down.

Mitsunari Ishida cooks tea himself.

"Your Excellency Ii should know the purpose of coming here."

"I don't know, please tell Your Excellency Ishida."

Naomasa Ii bounced back the question without pain or itching.

"I see Yinshan."

Ishida Mitsunari didn't want to talk nonsense either, the situation is urgent now, so the discussion should end sooner.

"impossible."

Naomasa Ii doesn't want to talk nonsense, but there are rules in negotiation. I can open my mouth like a lion, and you can also sit down and bargain. Everyone depends on the strength behind them and the sharpness of their mouths.

"Your Majesty Jing Yi, how is Shi Jian's situation after Qin's withdrawal?"

Mitsunari Ishida came relatively late and didn't know much about Ishimi's situation, but since the Qin army had all retreated, it was not an easy matter to convince the Tokugawa side that the Qin army had other plans, and he I also believe that Tokugawa, who has a distance advantage, knows no less than them.

"Leaving aside Ishimi's situation, please allow me to express my sorrow for the passing of His Excellency Maeda."

Naomasa Ii suddenly changed the topic, bringing out Toshiie Maeda.

Ishida Mitsunari frowned, then relaxed, and decided to use his strength to fight.

"I will convey this grief on behalf of His Majesty Jingyi, but since we are talking about His Excellency Maeda, does His Excellency Jingyi know what His Excellency Maeda said before his death?"

Jing Yi Naomasa raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know, please explain clearly."

"Your Excellency Maeda said that he is worried that all this is a conspiracy by Qin."

Mitsunari Ishida started his own performance: "Qin pretended to return Iwami Yinshan to Tokugawa. The Qin State suddenly sent troops to attack us, wiped us out, and achieved our goal of destroying us."

Ii Naomasa frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

"Do you have an accurate source of information?"

"No, all of this is Maeda-dono's conjecture before his death."

Hearing what Ishida Mitsunari said, Ii Naomasa did not feel too relaxed.

Because he also noticed this possibility.

But speculation alone cannot explain anything.

"It's just speculation, it can't explain anything. You and I are very clear about the benefits of Iwami Ginzan. It is an interest that can be protected at all costs. It is just a speculation. Your Excellency Ishida wants to get benefits." , isn't it too simple?"

Ishida Mitsunari said: "Your Majesty Jing Yi, China has been unified, Qin has established a stable foothold, Emperor Qin Xiao Ruxun has grasped the situation, and it is difficult to shake his rule. There is no power in Qin that can threaten him."

"and then?"

Naomasa Ii continued to ask.

"There is no unified empire in the past dynasties of China that does not expand and attack externally. As long as the internal strife is quelled, it will definitely send troops to conquer the surrounding areas. This is especially true for Xiao Ruxun. He is a military commander. He likes war and aggression.

When the former Ming Dynasty was still there, he took down Burma and Luzon. Now that he has become the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, he has no constraints. Would he not think about conquering foreign countries?Such an emperor who likes war, would he have no interest in neighboring countries? "

Ishida Mitsunari said so.
