Chapter 1196 The Psychological Shadow of Naomasa Ii

The Toyotomi clan planned to go to war with the Tokugawa clan.

This news is absolutely true.

The news spread from Kyoto quickly spread throughout the territory of the Toyotomi Clan, and then spread to the surrounding area, and the people who knew it included all the people.

In fact, it is impossible for the people not to know, because when the army goes to fight, the people have to transport food and grass from the rear to the front line as usual, which is their obligation.

Now that the common people know about it, there will be no one who doesn't know about it. Those who know naturally include the Tokugawa's spies hidden in the Toyotomi's territory. They can easily know the Toyotomi's target.

So the spies acted quickly and sent the news to Iwami when Toyotomi gathered an army to attack Iwami.

After learning the news, Ii Naomasa immediately passed the news back to Tokugawa Ieyasu's location, and asked Tokugawa Ieyasu for the support of the army.

He is very clear that the people who came back this time are not simply 2 people, they are likely to be the main force of the Toyotomi Clan, at least 8 to 2 people. Kanbara Komasa's [-] people against the opponent's [-] to [-] troops is no different from courting death.

The arrogance of the red team often comes from the main force behind them. The fighting power of the main force units is far inferior to that of the red team, but it is not that difficult to clean up the red team together. After all, not everyone is as fierce as Zhao Zilong. Kill seven in and seven out in the ten thousand army formation.

Naomasa Ii fully understood his own strength, so he quickly asked Tokugawa Ieyasu for help. At the same time, he expedited the construction of a defense system, planning to fight a decisive battle between Iwami and Toyotomi.

Naomasa Ii no longer has much idea about mining mines. He couldn’t afford it. He sent miners to explore and enter, but they still fell into traps. Many miners were killed and injured, which caused many miners to dislike the mine. Entering the mine created resistance, and the efficiency was greatly reduced.

Since occupying Ishimi for more than half a month, only five mines have been opened for mining, and the rest have not been opened. Many miners dare not enter, and too many animals used to break through the traps have died. I feel like I can't afford the cost.

Damn Qin people, how many traps have they set up! ! !

Although Yukunaga Asano was defeated, the joy in Naomasa Ii's heart quickly dissipated. Instead, there was a lot of haze, and the psychological shadow was expanding infinitely.

This is all thanks to the trap of the Qin army.

However, no matter what, he still has to stick to it and clear all the traps in the mines, so that the miners can carefully break through the traps in the mines, resume mining silver mines, and give the Tokugawa family a shot in the arm.

After Ieyasu Tokugawa received the victory report and warning from Naomasa Ii, he also made many arrangements.

He gathered 8 elite troops and about 2 daimyo troops. The main force of about [-] people has almost assembled, including the [-] vanguard troops brought by Kanbara Komasa. With [-] main forces behind.

The logistics problem has also been coordinated, and [-] civilians and [-] carts have been requisitioned to transport grain and grass. As long as everything is ready, they can march into Shi Jian, and he himself has left Kyushu and set foot on the land of this state, ready to support Shi Jian at any time See, let Ii Naomasa and Kanbara Yasumasa continue to stick to it.

Toyotomi's army should be larger than him in terms of numbers, but the combat effectiveness and quality are probably not as good as him, because most of them are newly recruited, and there are probably not many veterans who fought with Toyotomi Hideyoshi or even Oda Nobunaga up.

Either died in North Korea or died of illness and old age. The quality of Toyotomi's army has greatly declined. Although there are a large number of people, their combat experience is seriously insufficient, just like the 2 people under Asano Yukunaga's troops who were easily defeated by Ii Naomasa.

So Tokugawa Ieyasu was not worried that he would not be able to defeat the Toyotomi family. What he was worried about was that Qin Guohui would step in from behind, catch him by surprise, and then turn the whole situation around in an instant.

If this is also overturned by Qin Jun, then the whole of Japan will really be over.

What he and the Toyotomi clan are fighting for is the hegemony of the people of Japan. If the basic base of Japan is gone, is there any point in fighting for hegemony?

He was not completely unsuspecting of Qin Jun's movements. In fact, he still had some doubts, so his vigilance and intelligence had never stopped. While marching towards Shi Jian, he was dealing with Qin's intelligence from overseas.

However, after the unification of Qin State, the efficiency of anti-spies has been greatly improved. The spies he sent to the coastline of Daming in the early years were annihilated by a special unit of the Qin Army, all dressed in black. Eight intelligence points.

His intelligence personnel suffered heavy losses, so he had to send people from the mainland to find ways to re-enter Qin to spy on intelligence.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was very alarmed by Qin's crackdown on spies. At the same time, he also felt that if the Qin army had such a powerful means of cracking down on spies in his homeland, would there be an equally elite spies in Japan? Activity?

He can't control the Toyotomi family, but he can make decisions on his own one-third of an acre of land, so he also launched a campaign against Qin army spies on his own one-third of an acre of land.

But the effect was very small. So far, only seven or eight suspects have been caught, and they all refused to admit it, crying and shouting that they were killed by him, making him wonder if he caught the wrong person.

The Ming intelligence network he worked so hard to build in the past seven years was wiped out after the Great Qin ruled the world. This made him unexpected, and his reaction was not fast enough. He was almost blind on the issue of Da Qin, and now he wants to make up for it. , seems a bit late.

But he must fight this battle, even if he feels uneasy, he must continue to fight. If he does not fight, the Toyotomi family will not let him continue to segregate West Japan properly.

There is no way, I have to do this.

It's just that he still has doubts in his heart. He always feels that he has to leave a way out for himself, just like when he fought Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi before, leave a way out.

He also left a sufficiently elite troop in his lair. If something goes wrong, he will immediately escort his family and important property materials and leave by boat, heading for the northeastern part of Japan, which is the unexplored Ezo area. .

In his view, if unfortunately, as he said, the Qin army raided, then running on land would not be able to escape, and it would disturb his marching operations, so he simply let his family and property escape directly by sea to Ezo Well, when he got the news, he ran away without distraction, not worrying about this or that.

As the existence of the king of tortoises, Tokugawa Ieyasu is an absolute expert in escape and survival, the king of extreme survival, and the king of ninjas.

In contrast, the Toyotomi Clan was much worse, wholeheartedly preparing for war, and wholeheartedly preparing for war with the Tokugawa Clan, and decided to completely annihilate the main force of the Tokugawa Clan in Iwami and unify Japan.

It was still when Daqin couldn't react.
