The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

As the general commander of the 40,000-man army, Tokugawa Ieyasu had the final decision-making power on the choice of going to war, holding on, or retreating.

Although the military supervisor Asano Nagamasa was not very satisfied with Tokugawa Ieyasu's decision before, he never raised any objections and fully respected Tokugawa Ieyasu's decision on the surface.

Because the matter did not seem so urgent, no matter what choice was made, there was still enough room for error and wiggle room.

Just like a couple living together, although there are conflicts, they can still make do with it.

However, the news brought by Konishi Yukinaga, which was true or false, that "the Ming Navy is about to arrive", became an opportunity to ignite the conflict.

Regardless of whether the news was true or false, the content of the news itself could make the Tokugawa army lose wiggle room in the next stage of decision-making and could no longer make do with it.

Everyone has their own logic in their hearts, and no one thinks their logic is wrong before the final result is revealed.

Tokugawa Ieyasu did not want to risk completely destroying his army by rescuing Shimayama Castle, because the main force of his army was the soldiers and generals of their Tokugawa family.

How could they sacrifice their own main force to save the direct lineage of others?

People with such awareness have long been lost in the long river of the Warring States Period.

But Asano Nagamasa's thinking is different from Tokugawa Ieyasu. He believes that Shimayama Castle must be rescued, even at the risk and cost.

Anyway, the main force of the army is the Tokugawa family, and it doesn't matter how many sacrifices there are. And Shimayama Castle has a large number of direct lineages of the Toyotomi family, and of course there are his own sons, so they have to save them.

Under this contradiction, they naturally quarreled, and even forgot that Konishi Yukinaga was still there.

So when Tachibana Muneshige, who was still calm, pointed at Konishi Yukinaga, Konishi Yukinaga was tactfully invited out of the enclosure.

Without the presence of "outsiders", Asano Nagamasa said bluntly: "It is well known that the Taikoku expects the Korean war.

If the Grand Councilor has tens of thousands of troops, but gives up rescuing Fukushima Masanori, Hosuka Iemasa and others, and retreats without fighting.

Even if your Tokugawa family can withdraw completely, how will you face the anger of the Taikoku after you arrive in the country? How should you explain to the Taikoku?"

Not only is there anger, but also suspicion.

The direct line of the Toyotomi family has suffered heavy casualties, the troops of Konishi Yukinaga and Kato Kiyomasa have been completely wiped out, the troops of Fukushima Masanori and Ukita Hideie have been beaten half-crippled, and your Tokugawa family deliberately preserves its strength. What does the Taikoku think?

Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed. Although Asano Nagamasa's words were a threat, they were also true.

This war should not be fought militarily, but it must be fought politically.

Even if the possibility of losing is very high, it is much lighter than the guilt of retreating directly.

Losing is a question of ability, and whether to fight or not is a question of attitude.

Then Konishi Yukinaga was invited in again and was told: "Each of you will go out to fight in two days!"

After sending Konishi Yukinaga out of the camp, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Asano Nagamasa, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Tachibana Muneshige discussed the battle plan together.

Among the four, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Asano Nagamasa were new, and Shimazu Yoshihiro had been procrastinating.

Only Tachibana Muneshige really fought two bloody battles with the Ming army. One was the Battle of Pyeongcheon, where Tachibana Muneshige was the main force of the Japanese army and made a big splash, and the other was the Battle of Seoul, where Tachibana Muneshige was responsible for the rear guard.

At that time, Japan boasted of two great generals, generally Honda Tadakatsu in the east, known as the first in the Warring States Period, which seems to be what Oda Nobunaga said; Tachibana Muneshige in the west, known as the unparalleled in the West, which was what Toyotomi Hideyoshi said.

So everyone else looked at the "experienced" Tachibana Muneshige and asked him to speak first.

Tachibana Muneshige was an open-minded person, not pretentious, and said directly: "Based on the past battles, the Ming army was extremely contemptuous of our army, and most of the time they didn't take it seriously.

For example, at the beginning, the general Li Rusong of the Ming army dared to charge Seoul with thousands of people; for example, when our army retreated, the Ming army had hundreds of cavalry and dared to follow our army of tens of thousands to find a chance to fight."

Although everyone was very unhappy, this was also a fact.

For example, now, the Ming army on the opposite side is estimated to be less than 20,000 people, but they dare to challenge their own 40,000 troops.

Those ignorant and stupid Koreans began to proudly say that the Tianbing fighting the Japanese pirates was like the Japanese pirates fighting Korea - I don't know what these Koreans have to be proud of?

Then he heard Tachibana Muneshige continue to say: "So this battle can only take advantage of the arrogant mentality of the Ming army.

At that time, all the elite troops, especially the cavalry, can be gathered on the right wing, and the middle and left wings will gradually retreat after the battle.

The strongest cavalry lineup of the Ming army will definitely pursue and kill without hesitation, and be disconnected from the rear infantry.

Then our elite troops on the right wing can directly charge into the rear of the Ming army and seek the final chance of victory."

Everyone else was thinking, and Tachibana Muneshige added, "In the Battle of Bitegwan, we deployed our troops in this way, retreating from the front to lure the enemy, and using the elite troops on the flank to strike hard."

Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "If there is no objection, we will fight according to this strategy."

He had never seen the Ming army before, and he would not go wrong if he listened to the advice of experienced people.

The greatest advantage of Tokugawa Ieyasu in his life was self-knowledge!

Others had no better suggestions, so they all said, "Please ask the Grand Councilor to give the order!"

After thinking for a while, Tokugawa Ieyasu began to deploy his troops and said, "Our Tokugawa family's Honda Tadakatsu Army, Ii Akaburi Army, and Tachibana Army will form the right wing, commanded by Tachibana's attendant, and wait for the opportunity to attack!"

Reading the error-free version! The first novel is published. Read

Shimazu Yoshihiro and Asano Nagamasa were secretly surprised. Tokugawa Dainagon, you really dare to deploy like this! You actually handed over the core force of your Tokugawa family to Tachibana Muneshige!

But to be honest, Honda Tadakatsu plus Tachibana Muneshige plus Ii Red Armored Team is really too strong. If it is placed in China, it can sweep from Kanto to Kyushu.

Tachibana Muneshige was moved and bowed: "Thanks to the trust of the Dainagon, I will do my best and fight to the death for victory!"

Honda Tadakatsu is the first fierce general of the Tokugawa family, and the Ii Red Armored Team has the "bloodline" of the famous Takeda family Red Armored Iron Cavalry.

Tokugawa Dainagon handed over the two elite forces of the family to Tachibana Muneshige for command. This kind of demeanor really made Tachibana Muneshige feel impressed.

No wonder Tokugawa Dainagon has such a good reputation and popularity in the eastern area.

Then Tokugawa Ieyasu continued, "I am in the center, Shimazu attendant is on the left wing, listen to my orders, and work together to advance and retreat!"

On the other side, Konishi Yukinaga brought the news of the Japanese army's response to the battle back to the Ming official army camp.

Ma Gui, the general, opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Tianshuai without saying a word, his eyes full of humble pleading.

Lin Tianshuai couldn't stand being looked at, and waved his hand and said, "You command! Let you command! You have full authority to command this battle!"

In terms of self-knowledge, he, the great commander Lin, is definitely not inferior to Tokugawa Ieyasu! How can he be as professional as Ma Gui and Li Rusong, who have been military leaders for generations and have been experienced for a long time, in this kind of impromptu battle command?

He, Lin Tailai, is strong in grand strategic planning and small team assaults, not battles and tactics.

Xie Sheng, Po Gui, Bai Sai and other fierce generals of the Xuan Da system quickly surrounded Ma Gui and went up to the stage.

He also placed a tiger-skin chair next to Ma Gui, and nodded and bowed to invite Lin Tianshuai to take a seat.

Ma Gui quickly took the command arrow, turned his head and looked at Lin Tianshuai next to him, and said with reason:

"The safety of the Marshal is related to the morale of the entire army. Don't take risks lightly. You can lead a thousand guards to support the rear and serve as the general reserve of the entire army!"

Lin Tianshuai: "."

You didn't mention the more critical forward left, center and right. What's the point of determining the rear first?
