Chapter 144 Plague sweeps across Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi merges 1 place
For a time, the whole of Japan fell into deep despair.
"Go and get the best doctor! No matter what, you must cure my father's illness!"
"It's useless. All the doctors are helpless. This is not an ordinary disease at all!"
"Are we really going to just sit there and wait for death?"
A feeling of despair spread across Japan.
At this moment, an even more terrible news reached the ears of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
"Report to the General! We...we found poison in the water source!"
"what?!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood up suddenly, grabbed the man by the collar, and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Report to the General, poison has been found in the water source!"
The man was so frightened that he trembled all over and stammered as he repeated it.
"boom!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi threw the man to the ground with a livid face.
"Damn it! Damn Chu Yang!" He cursed through gritted teeth, "I knew that nothing good would come of him occupying Mount Fushi!"
"General, what should we do now?"
The warrior at the side asked, frowning.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He looked around at his panicked subordinates, and suddenly a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.
"Do I really have to bow down to that little brat?"
"Damn it! How dare this little Chu Yang kid be so vicious!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi slammed the information in his hand onto the table, causing the teacup to shake.
"General, calm down,"
Tokugawa Ieyasu standing aside still looked calm, as if even the falling sky could not cause a ripple on his face.
"Now that things have come to this, being angry will not help. The most urgent task is to resolve the plague as soon as possible and wipe out Chu Yang to vent the hatred in my heart!"
"Since we know Chu Yang's military deployment, we should combine forces and capture Xing Daorong and Pan Feng within two days."
"If we have enough time, within five days, all the main forces of our army can join forces with Oda Nobukatsu and arrive at the foot of Mount Fushi."
"Ieyasu is absolutely right,"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. "Pass the order down, the army will move out, the target is the Xing-Pan coalition! This general will make these bluffing guys pay the price."
"Yes!"
All the generals responded in unison, their eyes burning with anger, wishing they could eat Zhou's army alive.
The plague has claimed the lives of many of their fellow tribesmen, and what’s worse, even their wives, children and the elderly at home have not been spared. This hatred is irreconcilable!
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was worthy of being a great hero in Japan, and he quickly formulated a battle plan.
He mobilized the troops originally stationed on Kyushu Island, and joined them with the troops coming out of the capital and the troops that were besieging Xing Daorong and Pan Feng, forming an army of 300,000 people.
They marched towards Xing Daorong and Pan Feng in a mighty force for a decisive battle.
And at this time Xing Daorong and Pan Feng.
He was sitting leisurely in the tent drinking and having fun.
"Hahaha, General Xing, what do you think of our 'plague attack'? Those Japanese monkeys must be scared out of their wits now, right?"
Pan Feng's face was flushed, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine.
"Well, that's natural,"
Xing Daorong was also a little drunk, and said carelessly, "Don't you see who came up with the idea? That was a brilliant idea of our Seventh Prince! I've long disliked these Japanese monkeys. They all look like monkeys, and they chatter all day long, which is so noisy!"
Just as the two were getting carried away, a scout ran in in a panic, fell to his knees and shouted loudly.
"Report - Report to the two generals, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is personally leading an army of 300,000 and is heading towards us!"
"what?!"
Xing Daorong and Pan Feng sobered up immediately and their faces turned ugly.
"Three hundred thousand troops?!"
Pan Feng's eyes widened. "Is this old man crazy? He actually sent all his troops here?"
"Afraid of a bird!"
Although Xing Daorong spoke confidently, he was actually a little nervous.
Three hundred thousand troops is not a small number. No matter how brave the two of them are, they will never be their match.
"Quick, go and invite Mr. Sima and Lord Wang over!"
soon.
Sima Yi and Wang Meng came into the tent.
"Two military advisors, you must think of a solution! Toyotomi Hideyoshi is coming with an army of 300,000. What should we do?"
As soon as Pan Feng saw the two of them, he asked impatiently.
Sima Yi and Wang Meng looked at each other, and a hint of solemnity flashed in their eyes.
"Don't panic, generals,"
Sima Yi said calmly, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi's move may seem grand, but it actually plays into our hands."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Xing Daorong and Pan Feng were both rough men who had no idea about tactics and strategies, so they were completely confused after listening.
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army came out in full force, which was impressive, but the rear was left empty,"
Sima Yi explained, "I think our army should avoid their sharp edge and continue to go deep into the heart of Japan, engage in a battle with them, consume their manpower, and wait until the time is right to fight them to the death!"
"What the military advisor said makes sense!"
Wang Meng also nodded in agreement, "The Japanese are brutal by nature, and now they are hit by a plague. The people are unstable, so this is a good time for us to defeat them one by one!"
Although Xing Daorong and Pan Feng didn't quite understand the reasoning, they believed in Sima Yi and Wang Meng's words, so they nodded and agreed.
"Okay! Let's follow what the two military advisors said. We will pass the order down now and let the brothers prepare to retreat!"
at the same time.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi led his army and was unstoppable.
They soon arrived at the camp where Xing Daorong and Pan Feng were originally stationed.
"Report - General, the enemy camp is empty!"
A scout came running and knelt down before Toyotomi Hideyoshi to report.
"Nani?!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He didn't expect that when he was eager for a decisive battle, the Xing-Pan coalition forces actually ran away!
"Ieyasu, what do you think?"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi frowned and looked at the empty enemy camp, feeling a sense of anger at being tricked.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, wearing a plain hunting robe and holding a folding fan, pondered for a moment and said, "General, the Xing-Pan coalition retreated so hastily, they must have other intentions."
"In my opinion, they want to lure the enemy deep into our territory, lead our troops to Mount Fushi, and then ambush them when the opportunity arises."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi snorted coldly, "These cowardly fellows actually want to use this trick to deal with me! Pass the order, the whole army speeds up and goes straight to Mount Fuji. I want to see what tricks they can play!"
"Wait a minute, General!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu quickly stopped them, saying, "Since the Xing-Pan coalition is so bold, they must have already set up a trap on Mount Fuji Road. If our army advances rashly, we will probably fall into their trap."
