Since Di Qing agreed to assassinate Date Masamune, Lu Xun naturally would not stop him anymore.
Di Qing's life is Di Qing's own, since he is not afraid of death, why should he stand up and work thanklessly Akechi Mitsuhide had been out for most of the night, lest any further delay would arouse Date Masamune's suspicions, Di Qing immediately selected two hundred elites, all took off the armor of the Han army, changed into ordinary clothes and followed Akechi Mitsuhide into the encirclement.
After Di Qing and Zhizhi Guangxiu left, only Lu Xun and Bai Qi were left in the tent, and Lu Xun instructed the military kitchen to set up a wine banquet to entertain Bai Qi, which could be regarded as a little "landlord's friendship".
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, so Bai Qi agreed.
"I heard that the 30,000 prisoners who escorted the past were all killed by General Gongsun" Lu Xun looked old and steady, and asked Bai Qi unhurriedly.
It took 8,000 soldiers a night and half a day to bury them, and all kinds of screams and wails resounded in the sky, spreading for twenty or thirty miles.
Lu Xun, who has hundreds of scouts, naturally won't be unaware of this news.
But Lu Xun was keenly aware that this was an opportunity for him, a chance to regain his power.
With such a bloody massacre in Baiqi, nine times out of ten he will be impeached by the civil officials of the Jinling court, and at that time, the merits will be offset, and this great achievement will be in vain.
Therefore, Lu Xun pretended to be ignorant of Bai Qi's massacre, and did not send someone to stop it, but let Bai Qi order his soldiers to slaughter the prisoners, so that he could enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
Lu Xun believed that after the end of this encirclement, the Japanese troops on the island would basically lose their combat capability.
Clearing the entire territory of Japan and completely incorporating the island country into the territory of the Han Dynasty, that is, in a month or two, it will be as easy as a storm and clouds.
After pacifying Japan, the next step in how to use troops was naturally to assemble the whole army, cross the sea from Hokkaido in the north of the Japanese island, and attack the southern part of the Tang Kingdom, which made Li Shimin difficult to care.
At that time, I believe that the imperial court will no longer adopt the formation of three small legions fighting separately, and it is bound to merge the three corps into one, and the main general will also be produced among Lu Xun, Qi Jiguang, and Bai Qi.
Originally, among the three, Lu Xun had the oldest, the strongest background, and the most extensive connections, and even Lu Xun thought that the coach of the three legions after the merger was none other than himself, but with Bai Qi's strong performance, Lu Xun found that things did not seem to be so absolute.
In just over three months after Bai Qicai came to the island of Japan, he bloomed with dazzling brilliance, made outstanding military achievements, attacked the city all the way, lured Oda Nobunaga to death, and plotted against Wise Mitsuhide to assassinate Nobunaga, and was about to complete the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.
It can be said that Bai Qi's achievements in the past three months have surpassed Lu Xun's accumulated military exploits in three years, and if the three corps are combined into one and a main general is selected among the three, it is very likely that Bai Qi will be overtaken by him.
And Bai Qi's massacre of the captives made Lu Xun overjoyed, realizing that this was probably his only chance to defeat Bai Qi and become the commander of the Great Army.
Under this psychological effect, Lu Xun not only would not stop Bai Qi, but even wished that Bai Qi would kill all the captives.
Lu Xun believed that if Bai Qi really did this, the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of people under the butcher's knife would inevitably cause a shock to the civil officials in Jinling, and then all kinds of impeachments might fly like snowflakes to the table of the Son of Heaven.
You don't have to do anything, you can enjoy the benefits of a fisherman.
After listening to Lu Xun's words, Bai Qi took the wine glass and drank it all, and said boldly: "Yes, I killed all those captives."
I didn't have time to inform Bo Yan, I hope you don't want to be surprised" "General Gongsun's approach is understandable, but I am afraid that it will cause the impeachment of the Chinese officials of the DPRK" Lu Xun took the wine jug and poured a glass for Bai Qi, looking worried.
Bai Qi raised his glass again and drank it all: "There are many Japanese invaders, and our army has crossed the ocean, if we can't completely subdue their hearts, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent future troubles."
If the court blames it, I will bear it alone, and I have nothing to do with Bo Yan, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, why should my grandson Qi bear the name of a butcher" Lu Xun raised his glass and drank together: "The general is so courageous, I, Lu Xun, am convinced." ” Bai Qi slapped the wine bottle on the table and said categorically: "After the wise Guangxiu leads the troops to surrender, Bo Yan and Jiguang don't bother, just don't move."
Let my grandson Qi be this wicked man, and slaughter all the captured Japanese criminals to prevent future troubles."
Listening to Bai Qi's words, Lu Xun secretly rejoiced in his heart, what if you use soldiers like a god, you don't know how to engage in politics, I can still stabilize you.
I'm not afraid that you will slaughter, but I am afraid that you will kill less, even if you have the ability, you will be able to kill Lu Xun thought that this time was different from the massacre in the Battle of Jiaozhou, which killed about 200,000 Guishan people, but they were all soldiers and invaders.
The number is huge, and in order to eliminate hidden dangers, it is also a last resort to kill all of them.
Wu Qi later slaughtered many times on the way to attack Guishan, ranging from 20,000 to 450,000 people, and according to incomplete statistics, about 300,000 people were slaughtered.
But these are all Kushan soldiers and the strength of the forced conscription, and they were slaughtered many times in two years, so they don't look so bloody.
And now Gongsun Qi actually plans to slaughter all the Japanese in the encirclement, and there are only 70,000 or 80,000 of them who can really be counted as soldiers, and although the other 300,000 people are called "soldiers", most of them are forcibly conscripted into the army, including many old and weak women and children.
If Gongsun Qi is killed, it will inevitably cause an uproar and eventually burn himself.
"General Gongsun is dedicated to the country, General Qi and I will definitely look forward to you, and the general will let go of the big work" Lu Xun raised his glass and toasted, unconditionally supporting Gongsun Qi's decision.
After drinking a jar of wine, Bai Qi got up to say goodbye, and returned to his position north under the escort of his own soldiers, waiting for the good news of Wise Guangxiu and Di Qing.
Lu Xun personally sent him out of the camp, and after returning to the tent, he repulsed left and right, and wrote a secret letter to his sister Wu Ruyi, exaggerating Gongsun Qi's killing in the island country, and even the old, weak, sick and disabled who were forced to enlist.
It is hoped that Wu Ruyi can launch the impeachment of Bai Qi by civil officials in the imperial court, create pressure on him, and help him ascend to the throne of the commander of the Japanese army.
At that time, he commanded an army of 150,000 under his command, and then recruited 50,000 or 60,000 strong men from the Japanese island to cross the sea to attack the Tang State, and his status was not what it used to be, not to mention that he could be comparable to the three major commanders of Li Jing, Wu Qi, and Yue Fei, but at least he could be on an equal footing with Zhuge Liang, Xue Li, Guan Yu and others.
Lu Xun's pen walked the dragon and snake, and his talents flowed, and he quickly wrote a letter to Wu Ruyi and sealed it with a cowhide letterhead.
Then he summoned several soldiers from the Lu clan and asked them to leave the camp overnight and quickly horse westward, and then sail from Kagoshima into the sea to return to the mainland, and secretly hand over the letter to the Empress of the West Palace.
Just when Lu Xun and Bai Qi were "chatting freely", Akechi Mitsuhide returned to the encirclement with Di Qing, disguised as a Japanese, and sent someone to summon Date Masamune to come to Yewang Town.
"General Qiyu, Lord Guan Bai and General Guangxiu have opened up the tunnel, please go and discuss the strategy of withdrawing troops."
When the envoy of Akechi Mitsuhide saw Date Masamune, he gave a salute and invited Date Masamune to Nono-cho as instructed.
Date Masamune was skeptical of the envoy's words, and decided to lead 10,000 soldiers from his headquarters to Nooh Town to check, leaving the deputy general to lead a large group of men and horses to continue to stand by.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Han army, Date Masamune ordered everyone not to light torches and march in the dark.

It took an hour and a half, and it wasn't until the third watch in the morning that I arrived at Nono-cho.
Seeing that all the soldiers under Akechi Mitsuhide were armed with swords and guns, and one by one they were like facing a great enemy, Date Masamune ordered his soldiers to be on guard, and stood in the distance and shouted loudly: "Where are Lord Sekihaku and General Mitsuhide?"
The lieutenant general, who had received the order of Akechi Mitsuhide, replied loudly: "If General Masamune really, Lord Sekihaku has escaped from the encirclement along the tunnel, and General Mitsuhide is waiting for you at the entrance of the tunnel to discuss the withdrawal of troops, and I will ask General Masamune to enter the town to speak." ” With a "choking" sound, Date Masamune drew his sword in his hand: "It's nonsense, how can Lord Guan Bai leave without saying hello and leave and hand over Lord Guan Bai quickly, otherwise don't blame me for killing it" t1706231537:
