Chapter 1468 The Turtle in the Jar



There must be a reason why Zhao Min couldn't understand, but it's difficult to explain this reason to others.

Zhou Zhiruo just said hatefully: "It's all that old woman's fault. If she hadn't made Zhang Wuji so shameless, I'm afraid life would be much easier for us sisters."

The more Zhou Zhiruo said this, the more curious Zhao Min became. After all, they were all women and were more prone to gossip. However, it was obvious that she had no intention of finding a breakthrough in Zhou Zhiruo, because she knew Zhou Zhiruo too well. With Zhou Zhiruo's personality, if she felt that something was shameful, she would never say much about it.

Therefore, she remembered some of the previous words. Before, Zhou Zhiruo mentioned that Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun had also given birth not long ago, so she looked at the two of them.

But it was obvious that both of them had to save some shame. Yang Buhui was obviously older, and it was also about his brother Wuji's reputation, so he didn't want to say much. However, Wei Xiangjun, who was younger, couldn't help but smirked: "Oh, it's nothing actually. Brother Wuji is the most heroic man in the world on the surface, even in reality, but I think that every man has a youthful side until his death."

As she spoke, she whispered a few words into Zhao Min's ear.

After hearing this, Zhao Min's beautiful cheeks suddenly turned red with shame: "Oh, you are so bad, how could you let him do such a thing, you, you are simply shameless."

As for the word shameless, who would care about the so-called face as Zhang Wuji's woman? However, Zhou Zhiruo said, "You Mongolian fox, you say we are shameless. Aren't you saying it the other way around? In that kind of thing, we are all victims. How can being victims mean we are shameless?"

Zhao Min laughed and said, "You guys? You've never given birth to a child, so what does this have to do with you? Even if you want Wuji to drink that kind of stuff, you have to have it, right?"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo immediately became furious: "You..."

Zhao Min smiled slightly: "Okay, what are you talking about? That kind of thing is nothing anyway. When Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was still alive, he was much worse than Wuji. If Wuji also made us do so many tricks one day, I'm afraid we will go crazy."

Zhou Zhiruo was too lazy to talk to Zhao Min, who was no longer on the same page with her. She turned around and tried to leave, but Zhao Min grabbed her again and said, "You vixen, why do you want to leave? Are you angry with me?"

Zhou Zhiruo was also helpless: "I'm angry with you, you wish. With the relationship between us, if I got angry with you all the time, I would have been angry to death by now."

"I just want to find a place to sleep for a while. After all, that enemy is here. He won't give us the hot spring in the next two hours."

Zhou Zhiruo's words undoubtedly made Zhao Min and others suddenly realize that, indeed, according to Zhang Wuji's previous habit, if they wanted to go to the hot spring to take a bath, they could indeed have a good sleep for two hours first.

Five days later, Tokugawa Hideyoshi's troops arrived outside the city of Tokyo first. When they were sure that the Ming troops were not pursuing them, they began to run away boldly.

However, when they arrived at the gates of Tokyo, Tokugawa Hideyoshi hesitated.

Nobuo Takeda on the side said: "General, we have returned to Tokyo, we are safe now."

Tokugawa Hideyoshi smiled bitterly: "Safety has been no longer safe since the moment I was defeated. If it were just a defeat, it would be fine, but the most important thing is that I had killed more than a hundred middle and high-level military officers before."

"If I had won the previous battle with Zhang Wuji, even if I hadn't lost so quickly, the emperor might not have thought I was a waste. But now, I'm afraid the emperor has lost confidence in me."

Nobuo Takeda said: "Not really. We only lost less than 10,000 soldiers. If compared with Inoue Yu, Yamamoto Ningji, Musashi Hideki and others, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a great victory."

Tokugawa Hideyoshi said: "The problem is not the loss of tens of thousands of people, but the fact that the natural barrier of Edogawa River is gone. Zhang Wuji will soon be at the gates of the city. Compared with the emperor at this moment, he is just looking for someone to kill as a warning to others. I have endured for twenty years, but it is a pity that I met Zhang Wuji. Now I think that the founding emperor of a vast country is naturally far superior to me. Even if I am defeated by him, there is nothing to complain about."

"I'm just unwilling to accept the defeat, but things can't end like this. I still have more than 40,000 soldiers in my hands. If I use them properly, I can still do something. But if I just enter Tokyo City like this, the emperor will really chop off my head, and who can stop me?"

The time to make a choice has come. Nobuo Takeda is also a smart man. His brain is much more useful than those gentlemen in Tokyo who only know how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex.

He pondered for a moment and said, "General, as long as Zhang Wuji's army approaches, Tokyo will become a dead city, and the people inside will be nothing but a bunch of turtles trapped in a jar. Hirohito Hiroichi appears to want to defend Tokyo to the death, but in fact, it is just a disguised way of avoiding war. Staying outside may still allow you to do something, but entering the city will mean real death."

Tokugawa Hideyoshi was overjoyed when he heard this: "The one who understands me is Lord Takeda."

Takeda Nobuo said: "Now that things have come to this, we should leave immediately and tell the soldiers below that the emperor has sent us as external reinforcements. This way, we will give face to the emperor and calm the morale of the soldiers below. Who knows, it may actually have a miraculous effect."

At this moment, Hirohito Hiroichi temporarily bid farewell to his peaceful life. He was standing on the top of the city wall looking at Tokugawa Hideyoshi's army below.

But it must be said that Tokugawa Hideyoshi still had certain unique ways of commanding the army.

When Hirohito looked around, he saw that Tokugawa Hideyoshi's troops were lined up in neat rows. Even though they had lost the battle, the strictness of the military formation was more strict than those of the armies that had not fought a battle or had won a battle.

This is enough to illustrate Tokugawa Hideyoshi's extraordinary qualities.

However, just when Hirohito was thinking about whether to use Tokugawa Hideyoshi's head to enforce military law and boost morale after he entered the city, he saw Tokugawa Hideyoshi's troops suddenly lined up in an orderly manner and headed to another place.

Hirohito Hiroichi was puzzled for a moment: "What do you mean?"

However, at this moment, Cabinet Minister Ichiro Tanaka cautiously reported to Hirohito Hiroichi: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Tokugawa just sent someone to say that Zhang Wuji's army is about to arrive at the city, and he still has more than 40,000 soldiers. If those 40,000 soldiers enter the city, they will just be more than 40,000 mouths to feed. If they stay outside, they may be able to do something at the critical moment."
