Although Oda Nobunaga is dead, there are still more than 400,000 rabble waiting to surrender, so it is not yet time to unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Although Bai Qi hates the shameless man who betrays the lord for glory the most in his heart, he now has to praise Wise Mitsuhide a few words to calm his heart: "Hehe, General Mitsuhide personally assassinated Oda Nobunaga, and his loyalty to the Han can be shown to the sun and moon, and the general will definitely write to the imperial court to invite you for merit and reward."
After the entire island of Japan is pacified, you will definitely be put in charge of the local Japanese army. ” After receiving Bai Qi's praise, Akechi Mitsuhide was even more motivated, and suggested with a flattering smile: "Nobunaga is dead, and only Date Masamune is left in the army, as long as I get rid of him, I will be the highest-ranking military general in the army."
When the time comes, the general will put pressure on the periphery, and I will be sure to lead my troops to surrender."
"Well, Ben will believe in your ability, and the assassination of Date Masamune will be entrusted to you, and Ben will believe that you will not let me down."
Bai Qi patted Akechi Mitsuhide's shoulder with a smile on his face, and his face was serious.
Akechi Mitsuhide said with a look of embarrassment: "Date Masamune's martial arts are good, second only to Honda Tadakatsu in our Wa country, and he has a dislike for me, and if he suddenly can't find Nobunaga, he will definitely be suspicious of me."
Therefore, Mitsuhide hopes that General Gongsun can send a strong general to assist me and kill Date Masamune by surprise once and for all."
Bai Qi thought for a while, and felt that what Akechi Mitsuhide said was also reasonable, although Oda Nobunaga died, there were at least sixty or seventy thousand Japanese troops in the encirclement, and if the battle of the trapped beasts was done under the leadership of Date Masamune, it was inevitable that the side would pay a certain price, and it was not impossible to even die more than 10,000 people in battle.
If Date Masamune can be solved by surprise, so that Akechi Mitsuhide can successfully grasp the power of the army, and then lead his troops to surrender, it will greatly reduce the casualties of his own soldiers.
"Well, Mitsuhide has a point, let Ben General figure out who to send to help you kill Date Masamune."
Bai raised his hand and stroked his beard, thinking to himself in the handsome tent.
Although Hakuki had never seen Date Masamune's skills, since Akechi Mitsuhide was so jealous of him and praised his martial arts in Japan, second only to Honda Tadashikatsu, it shows that he is a brave and good general.
Looking at his generals, it seems that only Deng Qiang is sure to kill Date Masamune, but Deng Qiang's exposure rate is too high, and there are not a few Japanese soldiers who know him, so it is not realistic to send Deng Qiang out.
Just when Bai Qi hesitated, the soldier next to him proposed: "You can repair the book to Lu Boyan and ask him to send General Di Qing out."
General Di would wear a bronze mask every time he fought, and few Japanese soldiers had seen his face in Lushan, so the lower officials thought that it was most appropriate to let General Di Qing go out. ” "As soon as you say this, I also think of this general Mian Ni, this errand belongs to him" After listening to the suggestion to join the army, Bai Qi patted his thigh and was overjoyed.
Bai Qi left Deng Qiang and He Qi to continue to lead the defensive position, strictly preventing the Japanese from breaking through at night, and he took more than 100 personal soldiers and Akechi Mitsuhide, carrying the head of Oda Nobunaga, and rode quickly towards the place where Lu Xun was stationed.
On the way, I raised my eyes and looked out, only to see that the Han army on the hillside was orderly, the array was distinct, and it occupied the vital parts just right, and the flags of Ding, Tian, Di, Lu, and Shi fluttered in the wind.
"Lu Boyan is young, he is so good at using soldiers, and he has a bright future in the future, he really deserves to be the queen of a famous family" Bai Qi rode his horse and galloped while praising Lu Xun's use of soldiers.
Wise Mitsuhide has commanded the army for many years, and naturally knows how to command the army, and after a closer look, he is also convinced: "General Lu's way of using troops is really good, the Han army on the hillside has occupied almost all the key points, even if Nobunaga does not die, it is not easy to break through from this hillside." ” "Where does Nobunaga plan to break through while he is alive" Shiraki asked as he raised his whip while riding his horse, "I guess there is a chance that he is aiming at Hakuropo" Akechi Mitsuhide looked admiring: "General Gongsun really expected things to be like a god, Nobunaga did plan to break through from Bailupo before he died, and I don't know who guarded it" Bai Qi rode his horse and said: "The general who defends Bailupo is Zhou Youping, and there are 15,000 soldiers under his command, he is a fierce general who puts life and death out of the way, and it is not easy to break through his position.
What's more, the encirclement is too small, and the other divisions can be quickly reinforced within an hour, and you Japanese have no chance of breaking through at all."
While talking, the group came to the location of Lu Xun's tent, and when they learned that Bai Qi had come up, Lu Xun personally greeted him and greeted him: "Hehe, General Gongsun came overnight, what advice do you have?"
For the younger brother of the Empress of the West Palace, Uncle Lu Guo of the Jiangdong Shi clan standing behind him, Bai Qi behaved quite politely, and returned the salute: "General Lu is serious, and he definitely doesn't dare to take these two words of advice, so he specially came to borrow a general from you." ” "Oh, I don't know who General Gongsun plans to borrow" Lu Xun let Bai Qi into the marshal's tent and ordered tea to be served.
Bai Qi immediately introduced Akechi Mitsuhide to Lu Xun, and showed Oda Nobunaga's head to Lu Xun to see.
In the end, he proposed to use Di Qing to let him disguise himself and follow Akechi Mitsuhide into the encirclement, waiting for the opportunity to kill Date Masamune, assist Akechi Mitsuhide to seize military power, and then lead his troops to surrender.
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga's head was not stained with blood, although Lu Xun was overjoyed on the surface, he was quite unhappy in his heart.
Lu Xun and Qi Jiguang have been fighting against the Japanese for about three years, although they have conquered the city all the way and made quite achievements, but they are dwarfed by the momentum after Bai Cheng came up, and they are much inferior.
Bai Qi has only been on the island of Japan for more than three months, and he has been invincible all the way, captured more than ten county seats, and used a trick of deception to make dumplings for hundreds of thousands of "army" led by Oda Nobunaga, and also plotted against Akechi Mitsuhide to cut off Nobunaga's head.
If he can finally succeed in completely annihilating the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the encirclement, Bai Qi's credit will inevitably surpass that of Lu Xun and Qi Jiguang.
Everyone has a competitive heart, and Lu Xun, who is twenty years old and strong-blooded, is inevitably jealous.
It's just that his intelligence is far beyond ordinary people, he grew up in the house of the official eunuch since he was a child, and the city government is far beyond that of adults, so naturally he will not easily let Bai Qi see his inner thoughts.
"General Gongsun strategized and won a decisive victory for thousands of miles, and this five-body surrender that Lu Xun admired with his military talent.
I immediately sent someone to summon Di Qing and inform him of the plan, but General Di dared not take the risk, but I couldn't force him.
Lu Xun smiled slightly and kicked the hydrangea to Di Qing.
If Di Qing failed to assassinate Date Masamune and lost his life, this responsibility would be in vain; If Di Qing is unwilling to go, Bai Qi's credit will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Lu Xun immediately ordered: "Come on, quickly go to the hillside and summon General Di Qing." ” The scout took the order and left, and after half an hour, Di Qing, who was wearing a bronze mask, rode back to the tent from the hillside, and bowed his hand and said, "I don't know what General Lu ordered to summon the last general."
Lu Xun pointed at Bai Qi and Akechi Mitsuhide, relayed their plan to Di Qing, and finally asked: "Just because you wear a mask on weekdays, the Japanese invaders have hardly seen your true face in Lushan, so General Gongsun plans to let you disguise yourself and follow Wise Mitsuhide into the encirclement to assist him in killing Date Masamune, and strive to force the Japanese invaders."
Speaking of this, Lu Xun said in an accentuated tone: "However, Date Masamune is one of the few generals under Oda Nobunaga, and there are as many as sixty or seventy thousand elite Japanese soldiers in the encirclement, so it is also extremely dangerous to go."
How to choose, General Di has to think twice."
"General Lu, please rest assured, I am wise and Guangxiu will use my own head to ensure General Di's safety."
Akechi Mitsuhide patted his chest and swore, "I have 20,000 descendants under my command, and the combined forces of Date Masamune and Oda Nobunaga are only more than 40,000 people.
Even if General Di's assassination fails, my soldiers and I can protect his safety, fight with your Han army inside and outside, and annihilate those fools who don't know the times."
After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Di Qing hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a generous face: "Since Oda Nobunaga is dead, what else do I have to worry about, if I can successfully kill Date Masamune, it will make hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops surrender without a fight, for the sake of the Han, it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire, what is there to fear of me Di Qing is willing to go with General Guangxiu." t1706231537:
