Chapter 1205 When something goes wrong, there must be a demon

Toyotomi Hideji was very happy.

When he successfully suppressed the struggle between Ishida Mitsunari and the general faction, the fighting power of the Toyotomi Group was still considerable.

Not only defeated the attack of Ii Naomasa, almost wiped out the famous Ii Akabi team, but now, on the official battlefield, the Toyotomi army is also firmly suppressing the Tokugawa army.

In the battle for the commanding heights, Toyotomi's army was brave and invincible, and gradually suppressed the Tokugawa army. Seeing that the commanding heights were about to be taken, as long as they grasped the commanding heights, they could shoot arrows from above, which was enough to completely defeat the Tokugawa army and control Ishimi.

More importantly, Toyotomi Hideji knows that the two armies have concentrated their main forces here, and whoever can defeat the opponent here is equivalent to defeating the opponent's main force, and can further kill the opponent, and the opponent's winning rate will be greatly improved reduce.

For Toyotomi and Tokugawa, this was a battle they couldn't afford to lose.

Therefore, whether it is Toyotomi Hideji, Ishida Mitsunari or Asano Yukunaga, they all have only one goal, which is to take the commanding heights, abolish the main force of the Tokugawa clan, sweep the Tokugawa clan's territory in one fell swoop, unify Japan, and complete the hegemony.

Let's talk about the next thing later.

So after the two armies stalemate for a day, the cruel tug-of-war began the next day until today. The Toyotomi Army suffered slightly larger losses, but the Toyotomi Army also had more people, so the Toyotomi Army and the Tokugawa Army were actually a battle. Evenly matched.

In the most tragic high-low battle, in the three-hour fierce battle, Toyotomi Hideji has sent several elite troops to fight with the Tokugawa elite. Omi Hideji has a feeling that as long as he persists to the end, he can win the final victory.

After that, he will be able to gain a prestige no less than that of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the prestige he desperately needs. After possessing this kind of prestige, he will be able to rule the country more smoothly and achieve greater achievements than Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Therefore, Toyotomi Hideji even put on armor to supervise the battle in person, and he must witness the scene of the army winning the high ground with his own eyes.

He saw it.

He saw the Tokugawa's army retreating like a tide, and he saw his own army attacking wildly to seize the commanding heights.

The entire Toyotomi command post was boiling, everyone was celebrating the victory, and immediately arranged for the firearms troops to advance to the commanding heights, set up artillery condescendingly, and gave the Tokugawa army a final blow, making them history!
Toyotomi Hideji's heart was about to jump out, the feeling of excitement was really...

So much fun!

Toyotomi Hideji wants to share this joy with everyone he meets!

So he rewarded everyone around him, and everyone was beaming.

As a result, when it was Ishida Mitsunari's turn, Toyotomi Hideji was a little confused when he saw the expression on Ishida Mitsunari's face.

"No, why did they retreat? Shouldn't we continue to send more troops to continue to fight for the commanding heights at this time? Once this place is lost, what is the purpose of the desperate fight for the previous three hours?"

Ishida Mitsunari was muttering to himself, and Toyotomi Hideji heard it.

Take the initiative to retreat?

"Ishida Qing, what did you just say? You said the Tokugawa army retreated on their own initiative?"

Toyotomi Hideji looked at Ishida Mitsunari suspiciously.

Ishida Mitsunari nodded.

"Yes, Your Highness, the Tokugawa army retreated on their own initiative. Their retreat was very methodical. They did not retreat in a rout, but retreated on their own initiative. There were still people in the rear, and there were still people who blocked the pursuit. Although we have won the commanding heights, we are still under artillery fire. Before the erection is completed, the Tokugawa army still has the ability to continue to attack, and why did they give up the fight? It should not be the reason for the lack of troops."

When Ishida Mitsunari said this, Toyotomi Hideji's joy that had just become a little crazy has now calmed down.

It just doesn't feel right.

The Tokugawa family took the initiative to retreat?
why?
"They took the initiative to retreat and give up the fight. Was the fight for the previous three hours a fake? No way?"

"Absolutely not!"

Ishida Matsunari immediately dispelled Toyotomi Hideji's doubts: "The commanding heights must be taken, there is no doubt about it, the manpower and material resources that the Tokugawas have devoted to this is definitely not to lure us into the bait, but now he is suddenly retreating, obviously Something is wrong."

"What's that for?"

Toyotomi Hideji became a little confused.

Ishida Mitsunari thought hard for a long time, and he didn't know what it was for.

At this moment, the horn of the Tokugawa army's retreat sounded, and Toyotomi Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari saw that the Tokugawa army had slowly withdrawn from the battlefield in good order.

Toyotomi Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari did not order the pursuit, but watched the Tokugawa army withdraw.

A group of generals immediately gathered around and asked Toyotomi Hideji why he didn't order the pursuit. When they also learned that the Tokugawa family had voluntarily retreated, they were also a little surprised.

Only a few people asked to lead troops into the Tokugawa camp to solve the Tokugawa clan.

But Toyotomi Hideji didn't allow it, because he felt that something abnormal must have a demon.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the "demon" came.

The Tokugawa clan sent a messenger to see Toyotomi Hideji, and Toyotomi Hideji summoned him immediately.

"What? Qin's navy is coming to Japan?"

Toyotomi Hideji was shocked when he read the letter written by Tokugawa Ieyasu himself.

The civil servants and generals were also shocked, unable to believe what they heard.

Toyotomi Hideji handed Tokugawa Ieyasu's autographed letter to Ishida Mitsunari, and Ishida Mitsunari hurriedly took it to read.

At a glance, Ishida Mitsunari knew that Tokugawa Ieyasu had not given up on the intelligence collection of Qin State, and sent people to North Korea and the coastal areas of Qin State to try to find intelligence clues, but they did not find out the situation until the Qin Army Navy arrived in North Korea. Something is wrong, report it quickly.

But judging from the time, it seems that it is too late.

Qin Jun may have already started to act.

Is this really just a scam, a scam led by Qin to cover up real actions?

The Tokugawa clan and the Toyotomi clan fought in Iwami for more than half a month, and each of them suffered a lot of losses, and the loss of food and weapons was even greater, and they were no longer as sharp as when they just raised their troops.

At this moment, the Qin army's attack was completely beyond their expectations.

"is this real?"

Ishida Mitsunari looked at the messenger.

"If it's fake, why did my lord take the initiative to retreat and give up fighting for the high ground?"

the messenger asked.

This rhetorical question just hit the doubts of everyone in the Toyotomi family.

Now even Yukichi Asano, who hates Tokugawa Ieyasu the most, has to think carefully about Tokugawa Ieyasu's sincerity, is it true, or is he trying to confuse the Toyotomi Army's vision with the name of the Qin Army, and take this opportunity to fight back .

If Toyotomi Hideji immediately agreed to Tokugawa Ieyasu's request, and the two armies joined forces to fight against the Qin army, no one would believe it. At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu's actions were also very suspicious, and there were many possibilities.

For example, a Toyotomi family name pointed out the possibility of Tokugawa Ieyasu's fraud.

For example, Tokugawa Ieyasu betrayed Japan's interests and asked Qin for reinforcements. In fact, Tokugawa had already united with Qin, so he planned to deceive Toyotomi's army and bring Toyotomi's army to a dead end for the convenience of Tokugawa and Qin. The Qin army wiped out Toyotomi's army together.

It's not impossible.

After this statement was made, everyone's eyes on the messenger changed.

The messenger immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Your Highness, this matter is absolutely true. Although my lord has conflicts with the Toyotomi family, it is absolutely true at this time. It is absolutely impossible for my lord to unite with Qin. Qin is so powerful that it is easy to annex Japan. My lord will never do something like this to lure wolves into the house!"

"Your Highness! Don't believe him! Sentaige died under the joint efforts of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Xiao Ruxun, he still has the face to say that?!"

Yukicaga Asano yelled angrily, which immediately made Toyotomi Hideji feel a different feeling in his heart.
