"The four countries are pressuring the border? There's such a thing? "The masked man was shocked after hearing Matsumoto Takeyoshi's words.
"Xuanji just reported it to me. This matter is absolutely true," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said to the masked man.
"What did Mr. Matsumoto arrange?" The masked man asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"I asked him to first send four imperial envoys to the four countries to find out what each country's intentions are. Then, I asked Taro to gather the troops and strictly guard the border," Matsumoto Takeyoshi answered the masked man.
"Mr. Matsumoto did the right thing," the masked man nodded and said. "Before we understand the cause of this matter, we must not act rashly. This time, the four countries are sending troops at the same time. There must be something fishy."
"How do you think we should deal with this matter, Mr. Matsumoto Takeyoshi?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked the masked man.
"Mr. Matsumoto, it's best for you to prepare for two things. One is peace, and the other is war," the masked man said to Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"Peace? How do we fight? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked.
"It's very simple. Use war to promote peace," the masked man said as he looked at Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
As soon as these words were said, the masked man standing to the side opened his eyes and looked at the masked man.
"Use war to promote peace?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi began to ponder the masked man's words.
"This time, the four countries have put on such a show of force at the same time. They definitely won't easily retreat. Even if the imperial court offers the four countries generous conditions, it will only alleviate the situation for a while. It won't be long before they come back again. At that time, it won't be as simple as just the four countries." The masked man said to Matsumoto Takeyoshi, "The four armies are currently pressuring the border, but they are still unwilling to act. They are just waiting to see."
"Waiting to see?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked. "What are they waiting to see?"
"We are observing the Great Ming Dynasty's reaction, and also observing the reactions of our companions." The azure-clothed figure said, "The Great Ming Dynasty is like a ferocious tiger, while the four countries are like four hungry wolves. The hungry wolves want to eat the tiger's meat but are afraid of being injured by the tiger, so they naturally don't dare to act rashly, much less be the first to act. Under such circumstances, whoever makes the first move against the tiger will be the most severely injured hungry wolf. "
After hearing the words of the man in green, the man in white nodded slightly.
This Kongsuke Susukino really lives up to his reputation. Not only is his cultivation high, but he is also resourceful and farsighted. He can be said to be an all-rounder!
"Sir, you mean to say that the four imperial envoys sent were completely useless?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi said.
"Mr. Matsumoto's words are incorrect," the green-clothed man said to Matsumoto Takeyoshi. "These four imperial envoys can, first of all, find out why the four countries are fighting against the court. Second, they can buy time for the court's army to gather. How can you say they are useless?"
"According to what Sir says, this battle is definitely going to be fought?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked as he picked up the teapot on the stove and poured a cup of tea for the green-clothed man.
"Not only do we have to fight this battle, we have to take the initiative to attack and fiercely fight," the green-clothed man said after receiving Matsumoto Takeyoshi's teacup. "As long as the Mongol and Rakshasa armies are repelled, Korea and Tibet will naturally lose without fighting."
"What Sir says is correct, but the Mongol cavalry and Rakshasa soldiers are extremely strong. Although the Great Ming Dynasty has a large military strength and a large population, they also need to use a large portion of their military strength to defend themselves," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a frown. "Once the two sides start fighting, it will definitely be a long and drawn-out battle. The Mongol cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the Rakshasa soldiers are valiant. I'm afraid that if this continues, the court's army will be defeated little by little."
Matsumoto Takeyoshi's worry was reasonable. The Mongol cavalry and Rakshasa soldiers' military strength was definitely not something a normal army could compare to.
The Mongol cavalry were strong and sturdy, and their archery skills were excellent. No matter if it was a heavy armored assault unit or a strong longbow archery unit, they could be said to be unmatched. Their most formidable point was their mobility, which was simply like a ghost army. Today they were still a thousand li away, but tomorrow they might already be right in front of their eyes.
It was said that every Mongol cavalry unit had at least three top-notch warhorses. During a long distance raid, they could take turns to change horses, and the people and horses would not rest. What was even more frightening was that the Mongol cavalry's equestrian skills were excellent. They could even sleep on the horse's back, taking turns to rest during a long distance raid. While the opponent was still asleep, the Mongol scimitar might have already been pressed against their neck. The strength of their military strength was unimaginable.
As for the Rakshasa soldiers, their military strength was also not to be underestimated. Their bodies were tall and sturdy, and they were full of strength. Being in a snowy climate all year round had tempered their steel-like willpower. They were known for being fierce and warlike. They were greedy, cunning, and bloodthirsty. They were skilled in fighting battles of attrition, and they made the countries around them tremble in fear.
"Hahaha …" Once he heard Matsumoto Takeyoshi's words, the man in green threw his head back and laughed loudly.
"Sir, why are you laughing?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked with a frown.
"Mr. Matsumoto, you're worrying too much." The man in green stopped laughing and looked at Matsumoto Takeyoshi. "No matter how strong they are, can they be stronger than your ninja unit?"
The moment the man in green said this, the expressions of Matsumoto Takeyoshi and the man in white behind him immediately changed!
"Sir, you mean …" Matsumoto Takeyoshi vaguely understood the man in green's intentions.
"As the saying goes, soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. Mr. Matsumoto, it's time to use your sword," the man in green said to Matsumoto Takeyoshi with a smile.
Apart from the Black Feather Unit, Matsumoto Takeyoshi had an extremely strong ninja unit in Dongying. There were thousands of Jonins with advanced ninjutsu! If the Chunin and Genin were included, there would be tens of thousands of them! These ninjas usually dressed as civilians and were no different from ordinary people. Only when they received a mission would they transform into ninjas and work for Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi did not expect the man in green to come up with this idea!
"Using the ninja unit to resist the four-nation army?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi muttered to himself.
"It's not resistance, it's a massacre," the man in green said calmly.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Your son is currently holding an important position in the Imperial Court's Ministry of War and is also a general. He has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. Once the two sides start fighting, sir, you can let your son be the commander and lead the troops directly to the border." The man in green then said to Matsumoto Takeyoshi, "The tens of thousands of ninjas can disguise themselves as your son's vanguard and assassinate the enemy's generals first. When the enemy has no leader and is panicking, your son will command the Imperial Court's troops to clean up the mess. In less than a month, the four countries will definitely be defeated and defeated. They will take the initiative to ask for peace from the Great Ming Dynasty. At that time, your son will have outstanding military achievements and military power in his hands. His name will spread far and wide, and he will become a great hero of the Great Ming Dynasty who saved the country and the people. Won't he gain fame and fortune and be admired by the world? "
Hearing the man in green say this, Matsumoto Takeyoshi's face immediately revealed a smile as he praised, "Sir truly is a brilliant plan, you really are the reincarnation of Kongming!"
The man in green had made the four armies disappear with just a few words. This made Matsumoto Takeyoshi sigh in amazement and admit his inferiority.
This plan could be considered watertight. It could solve the siege of the country and also give his son fame and fortune, expanding his military power. It could be considered killing two birds with one stone!
After the white clothed man heard the man in green's plan, he also kept nodding his head.
The man in green's plan could be considered perfect, there were no flaws at all.
"Mister Matsumoto can have a talent like Mister Shunsui to assist him, it really makes one envious." While the two of them were talking, a cold and hoarse male voice sounded around them.
The white clothed man knit his brows.
He was very clear on who this person was.
It was Shinozaki Ryuichi, one of the ten guards under Xie Tian. Last time he came to this ship to play chess with Matsumoto Takeyoshi, instantly dissolving the entire chessboard.
This person's spiritual energy and high cultivation were rarely seen in this world!
Shua! As soon as his voice fell, a black figure appeared in the cabin.
This person was wearing a black robe, a black hat, a white puppet mask, and black boots. Under the mask, there was a pair of blue eyes that were shining with a terrifying light.
"So it's Mister Shinozaki." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile, "Welcome, I apologize for not coming out to meet you."
"Mister Matsumoto is too polite." Kurosaki Ryuichi, who was wearing a mask, stared at Matsumoto Takeyoshi with a pair of blue eyes. He laughed in a hoarse voice. "I couldn't forget Mr. Matsumoto's tea the last time I drank it, so I'm here to ask for another cup."
"Ha, ha, ha ….." Matsumoto Takeyoshi loudly laughed, "Mister Shinozaki really came at the right time, my tea was just finished. But this time I have to tell you something. Mister Shinozaki can drink tea, but don't ruin my things like last time."
"Hehehe …." Shinozaki Ryuichi laughed with a hoarse voice, "Next time, I'll bring a chessboard for Mister Matsumoto. Consider it my compensation to Mister Matsumoto."
"Ha, ha, ha, that would be great." Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled and extended his hand to Shinozaki Ryuichi, "Please!"
Shinozaki Ryuichi nodded and sat across from Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"Mister Shinozaki, I'm afraid you didn't come here just to drink tea, right?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi reached for the teapot and poured tea as he asked Shinozaki Ryuichi with a smile.
"Mister Matsumoto is right. I wouldn't have come here without a reason," Shinozaki Ryuichi said straightforwardly.
"Oh? I wonder if Mister Shinozaki has brought good news or bad news? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked as he gently pushed the fragrant white porcelain teacup in front of Shinozaki Ryuichi.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mister Matsumoto. I don't have good news this time," Shinozaki Ryuichi said.
"To be honest, Mister Shinozaki, I haven't heard much good news ever since I came to the Great Ming Dynasty. I'm used to it," Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled as he filled the white porcelain teacup in front of him with tea.
"Compared to the bad news you brought, this is good news," Shinozaki Ryuichi said calmly.
"Oh? What kind of bad news is so important to you? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled as he lifted the fragrant tea to his mouth and gently blew on it.
He had found one of the Nine Cauldrons and found a way to resolve the crisis between the four countries. He was in a good mood.
He couldn't think of any bad news that could compare to being besieged by four countries.
"Mister Matsumoto, have you heard of Yagyuu Ryūnosuke?" Shinozaki Ryuichi asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"Yagyuu Ryūnosuke?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi frowned as soon as he heard this name. "You mean the legendary Yagyuu Ryūnosuke who was the reincarnation of the Black Dragon?"
"That's him." Shinozaki Ryuichi leaned forward slightly as he spoke, approaching Matsumoto Takeyoshi. "He came to the Great Ming Dynasty, and he's here to look for you."
