"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."

Inoue Yu cried his heart out. He was so unlucky today. Now he thought it would be better to die. If he died, he wouldn't have to worry about the rest of his life.

"Marshal, please don't cry. Isn't it just that you can't do such things again in the future? What are you afraid of? You are the marshal of the army, and you can't just live for that little thing. Now, the army has just been defeated, and I'm afraid that the news will reach His Majesty's ears soon. You should think about how to explain to His Majesty."

The person who spoke was General Kameda. He was the first one to run away with his soldiers carrying Inoue Yu during the day.

Inoue Yu glared at Kameda with hatred in his tearful eyes: "You, you disobeyed my order and led the troops to retreat privately. My army was already sure of victory, but it was because of your private withdrawal that led to the defeat. You, you must take full responsibility."

After hearing this, Kameda's eyes widened instantly. Although Kameda was a little incompetent, he was not a fool. He understood better than anyone that Inoue Yu wanted to use him as a scapegoat.

"Marshal, you, how can you say such things? During the day, our central army was about to be broken through, and we couldn't stop it. If I hadn't led the soldiers and risked my life to carry you out, you might have been killed by Zhang Wuji now."

Inoue Yuyan said: "You are talking nonsense. I am sure of victory because of you. Otherwise, how could my army of 200,000 be defeated by Zhang Wuji."

"You, you are the sinner of my great Japan."

Kameda was terrified to death. He never expected that Inoue Takeshi would be so shameless. He actually wanted to put the blame for the defeat on himself. This was truly intolerable.

As a result, Kameda actually felt a sense of evil in his heart and hatred in his courage.

Kameda thought to himself, "If that's the case, then I really can't let you live."

"The commander-in-chief was seriously injured and lost his ability to command. He was dragged off the battlefield by himself and died. This seems to be a kind of explanation."

"Moreover, if Inoue Yu died, then the geishas and concubines he brought with the army would definitely fall into my hands."

"As for the Emperor holding him accountable, I'm afraid that's even more impossible."

"Now, the Japanese navy is almost wiped out, the Ming army has successfully landed, and has been making rapid progress along the way. Now is the time when Hirohito needs people, so how could he casually deal with a general who led the troops in battle."

…

Kameda had already made plans to get rid of Inoue Yu, but at this moment, a lieutenant colonel under Kameda came to report: "General, General, Chief of Staff General Sasaki is here."

"Sasaki is here?"

Kameda Jiro was startled. Inoue Yu was about to use him as a scapegoat, and he himself had just wanted to get rid of Inoue Yu. If Sasaki came here at this time, wouldn't it ruin his plan?

However, just when Kameda wanted to send someone to stop Sasaki, Sasaki's voice came over: "Marshal, Marshal, are you still alive?"

"Kameda, you bastard, come out here."

Kameda was suddenly at a loss. After all, when he led his own infantry to retreat without authorization today, he had already fallen out with Sasaki. After all, he was the second-in-command in the army, and his position and prestige were far above his own.

However, just as Kameda was thinking about how to deal with the situation, some of Kameda's subordinates who were not very tactful had already given Sasaki guidance.

"Sir, my general is in the inner hall of this county government office."

It turned out that Kameda and his soldiers had run sixty or seventy miles in one breath, directly from the previous battlefield to Dongchuan County sixty or seventy miles away.

Without time to think, Sasaki led his own soldiers and several of his good generals straight to the inner hall of the Dongchuan County government office.

Kameda was extremely shocked, but at this moment, he seemed unable to do anything. He instinctively reached for the command knife at his waist, thinking of just killing Inoue Yu with a single strike. However, the next moment, Sasaki appeared in front of him.

"General Kameda, we are one of us, why are you touching the knife?"

Kameda was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was impossible to kill Inoue Yu in front of Sasaki, so he took his hand off the command knife at his waist.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, sir, but I'm just protecting the Marshal at all times."

Upon hearing this, Sasaki glanced at Inoue Yu who was lying on the bed beside him.

At this moment, Inoue Yu's face was still covered with tears, but he said to Sasaki: "Sasaki-kun, today's defeat is all due to that bastard Kameda taking me away from the battlefield without permission. He should take full responsibility for this defeat."

Sasaki was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted: "That's right."

Afterwards, Sasaki drew the command sword from his waist, and several generals who were following behind Sasaki and were on good terms with him also took the opportunity to draw their own command swords.

Kameda was just shocked just now, but then he was terrified to death.

"Sasaki, what are you doing?"

Sasaki laughed and said, "What are you doing? Didn't you hear what the Marshal said?"

"I have no way to explain today's defeat to the Emperor, so the only thing I can do is sacrifice your head."

As he spoke, Sasaki's command sword chopped down, and Kameda quickly drew out his command sword and tried to resist. However, the people behind Sasaki did not hesitate, and they all chopped at Kameda with the swords in their hands.

Inside the inner hall of Dongchuan County, a few screams were heard first, and then they died down. When Kameda's men arrived here, Sasaki just glared at them, and Kameda's men lost their temper.

Today's battle was a narrow escape. As for Kameda's death, it was just something that only the big guys saw. For a group of small soldiers like them, being alive was good enough. It is better to have less trouble than more, so they might as well pretend that Kameda died in the battle with the Ming army.

This group of people just pretended they saw nothing.

Sasaki looked at Kameda's body, then turned his gaze to Inoue Yu.

In fact, Sasaki also wanted to stab Inoue Yu twice. The reason why he didn't do so was that he was afraid that the death of Kameda would not be enough to explain this matter to Hirohito Hiroichi.

If Hirohito Hiroichi was unwilling to let this matter go and continued to pursue responsibility, as long as Inoue Takeshi was alive, then Inoue Takeshi would take the lead, but if Inoue Takeshi died, then he, the chief of staff, would take the lead.

Sasaki took a deep breath and said, "Marshal, we are safe now. The main culprit of this battle, Kameda, has been executed on the spot. If we take a long-term view, there may be a possibility of a comeback."
