The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1599 Who persuades whom to surrender?

After capturing Shiyuan City, Yun Zheng did not continue to advance eastward.

He still has to wait!

Look at the situation over there with Nobuyuki Tanaka.

If Minamoto no Nagamasa was determined to defend Susa Castle, then he would have no choice but to attack it by force.

He still hoped that Minamoto no Nagamasa would be stimulated and take the initiative to lead his troops to attack Tanaka Nobuyuki's troops.

In that case, they could eat up some more of Minamoto Nagamasa's troops.

Of course, he would also be happy if Minamoto no Nagamasa took the initiative to lead his troops to attack his group.

"Do you think it is necessary to drive the people from Ishigaki Castle and the surrounding areas to Susanoo?"

Yun Zheng leaned back in the recliner and asked Jia Yao.

Jia Yao frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly replied: "If you just want to use these people to consume the food supplies of Susano Castle, then I think it is totally unnecessary! If you have other purposes, you might as well say it."

As the capital of Yu Country, Susa Castle must have sufficient food and fodder reserves.

Even if we drive 200,000 people into Susano Castle, it is estimated that they can only hold out for more than half a year.

And it is definitely impossible for Yun Zheng to besiege Susa Castle for such a long time.

In this way, driving so many people into Susa Castle would actually provide the enemy with more manpower, allowing them to do more things.

Of course, if Yun Zheng detained all the young and strong people and only expelled the elderly, the weak, women and children, that would be a different matter.

"I do intend to consume the enemy's food supplies."

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "However, my main purpose is to let these people enter Susano Castle, causing chaos in Susano Castle, and also creating an opportunity for the Ghost Eighteen Riders to sneak into Susano Castle..."

Two hundred thousand people pouring into Susa Castle would cause great trouble to the castle even if there were sufficient food and grass.

Apart from anything else, just housing is a problem.

With more people, conflicts will naturally arise.

If the Eighteen Ghost Riders continue to instigate chaos, it may cause chaos in the entire Susa Castle.

Of course, he could think of these problems, and Minamoto Nagamasa could probably think of them as well.

If Minamoto no Nagamasa did not allow these refugees to enter the city, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the refugees. It would also allow the people of Yu Country to see Minamoto no Nagamasa's true face, and some people might even turn to them and raise the banner of anti-Minamoto.

Therefore, whether Minamoto Nagamasa allowed these refugees to enter the city or not, it would be beneficial to them.

Jia Yao thought silently for a while, then smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that if the soldiers and civilians of Susano Castle can work together, your plan may hurt us?"

"I thought about it!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "But I believe that they can't be of one mind! Even Yuan Changzheng won't let them enter the city!"

It is easy to say that everyone should be united, but it is not that simple.

Minamoto no Nagamasa was originally a tyrant, not a benevolent and righteous ruler.

At this time, Minamoto Nagamasa would most likely not allow these refugees to enter the city.

Even if he knew the consequences of not letting the refugees into the city, he might still do so.

After all, if 200,000 refugees caused large-scale riots in the city, the consequences would certainly be unbearable for Minamoto no Nagamasa and Susa Castle.

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Jia Yao fell into thought again.

Jia Yao lowered his brows and thought again.

After a moment, Jia Yao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then do you think it is possible for Minamoto Nagamasa to use these refugees as a cover to attack Tanaka Nobu's troops?"

Ok?

Using refugees as cover?

How to cover?

Could it be that the elite army should be disguised as refugees?

Then, a fraud city?

……

Kurose Castle.

Hojo Tsune was ordered to persuade Tanaka Nobuo to surrender.

Tanaka Nobuyuki was quite respectful. Not only did he not make things difficult for Hojo Tsune, he also politely invited him into his temporary residence.

Seeing that Tanaka Nobuyuki was so polite to him, Hojo Tsune gradually felt more confident.

After a simple greeting, Tanaka Nobuyuki asked directly: "Hojo-kun, my time is limited, please state your purpose directly!"

Hojo Tsune took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Tanaka-kun is also from my country of Yu, why would you help Yun Zheng to invade my own country?"

"Is that the question you want to ask?"

Tanaka Nobuyuki asked calmly.

"Correct!"

Hojo Tsune looked at Tanaka Nobu with burning eyes, "You have the blood of our Yu people flowing in your veins. Do you want to see our descendants being enslaved by Yun Zheng for generations? Do you want the men of my Yu country to be born inferior to others?"

"I don't want to."

Tanaka Nobu answered.

Not willing?

Hearing what Tanaka Nobuyuki said, Hojo Tsune was overjoyed.

As long as he doesn't want to, then it's easy!

Hojo Tsunehiko struck while the iron was hot, "It can be seen that Tanaka-kun is also a hero..."

"and many more!"

Tanaka Nobuhiro stopped Hojo Tsune and said, "Just listen to what I have to say first."

Ok?

Hojo Tsune looked at Tanaka Nobuyuki in confusion.

Under his gaze, Tanaka Nobu slowly spoke: "Would you rather see our descendants enslaved or inferior, or would you rather see our descendants disappear forever?"

Disappear forever?

Hojo Tsune's heart trembled, and he seemed to understand what Tanaka Nobuyuki meant.

However, Hojo Tsune was still unwilling to give in and continued to persuade him: "I understand Tanaka-kun's difficulties, and I also know that Daqian is strong! But my Yu country has millions of people, and Yunzheng has only so few people! Even if each of us spits, we can drown them!"

"Millions of people?"

Tanaka Nobu smiled, "Do you know how many people there are in Daqian? Do you know how vast the territory of Daqian is? Do you know how many enemies the prince has defeated?"

In response to Tanaka Nobuyuki's question, Hojo Tsune suddenly fell silent.

He really didn't know these.

He only knew that Daqian had a much larger population and a much larger territory than Yu State.

But he had no idea how much more.

"Let me tell you!"

Tanaka Nobu slowly stood up and said in a sonorous voice: "Daqian has a population of over 100 million, and its territory is a hundred times larger than ours!"

"Daqian is a hand, and our territory is only as big as the fingernail on the whole hand!"

"The prince led the army into battle at the age of 21. In just five or six years, he defeated all the countries surrounding Daqian and made them submit to him. He never lost a single battle!"

"Any country that the prince has defeated is bigger than Yu Country!"

"Countries like Beihuan and Xiqu, which have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, were beaten by the prince without any chance to fight back!"

"The Princess Regent of Beihuan is now the prince's concubine, and the king of Xiqu is now just a lieutenant general under the prince..."

Tanaka Nobuyuki told Hojo Tsune about Yun Zheng's battle achievements in detail.

He heard all this from others when he was in Xinjin.

Moreover, they are all well documented.

Although he tried his best not to exaggerate Yun Zheng's achievements, after hearing his words, Hojo Jing's head was still buzzing and he could hardly believe his ears.

According to Tanaka Nobuyuki, Yun Zheng is only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old!

At such a young age, he defeated so many powerful enemies?

Yun Zheng incorporated all the territories surrounding Daqian into Daqian in just a few years, while Yuan Changzheng has been fighting for most of his life but has not even unified the Yu Kingdom?

Compared with his achievements, Minamoto Nagamasa's achievements seem negligible!

"Believe me, Minamoto Nagamasa will be defeated within half a month, and no one can save him!"

Tanaka Nobu looked at Hojo Tsune with burning eyes, "Minamoto Nagamasa asked you to come here, almost to let you die! It's really not worth it for you to work for him again! And I just happen to lack a smart aide..."
