213 Toyotomi Hideyoshi caught up with Oda Nobunaga

"What are you going to do after you take Nagoya? Ming's army hasn't left yet, has it? Aren't you worried about a sneak attack on Nagoya by the Ming army? Or are you already prepared? Are you going to go to war with the Ming army or make peace? ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi still seems to be a little concerned about the affairs of the Ming Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm going to make peace." Tokugawa Ieyasu said slowly: "With our current strength, we have just lost more than 100,000 elites, if we want to continue the war with the Ming Kingdom, both materials and finances have reached the limit, if we can't end the war as soon as possible, Japan's situation will be very dangerous, and Japan's current situation is no longer enough to support us to continue fighting." ”

"It's okay to make peace, I'm afraid that the Ming side will put forward a lot of very excessive demands."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and asked, "Do you have a bottom line?" ”

"This, in fact, before tonight's move, we have already made peace with the Ming side, and the Ming side will not interfere with our move, nor will it interfere in the future, this war has come to an end."

Listening to Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't the Ming side make any very excessive demands? No way! ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu hurriedly said: "No, they put forward some very excessive demands, but most of them were rejected by us, the person in charge of the negotiation is Mr. Kanbei, under his efforts, some unreasonable demands of Ming Guo have been rejected, and the rest is some compensation of silver taels, Ming Guo just wants money, and they don't care about anything else." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes, and he shook his head and sighed: "I thought that the Ming Kingdom would make more excessive demands, and I was still thinking about why I couldn't let you clean up Xiuji and them so quickly, but now it seems that Mingguo has bought it for you, and Xiuji and they have no choice but to prepare for a decisive battle with you, but Xiuji and the Li family don't have enough troops in their hands......"

The corners of Tokugawa Ieyasu's mouth moved slightly: "Taiko, you don't have to take care of these things anymore, and you can't control it anymore, the future Japan is my Tokugawa clan, my Tokugawa shogunate, what you have never been able to do, but I can do it." ”

"Shogunate ......" Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled bitterly, making a sound that seemed to come out of a leaky pipe, very dry and hoarse.

"That's it, the thing I hate most in my life is that I was from a humble background, but Ieyasu, the proudest thing in my life is precisely that I, a person from a humble background, can finally hold the highest power in Japan, Ieyasu, for two thousand years, I am the only one! Isn't that something to be proud of? What about you descendants of the nobility? Don't want to be my subordinate? ”

"This does make all our noble-born daimyo feel stunned and admired, so many years, only you can do this, in this country of Japan, your existence is too special, if you were born in the Ming country, perhaps, can have greater development maybe, the founding emperor of the Ming country, Zhu Yuanzhang, and your background is similar, even lower than your background and circumstances, and the Ming people will not look down on the so-called reckless heroes, that is exactly the most revered type of people in the Ming country."

"According to you, I was born in the wrong place? Should I have been born in Ming and not in Japan? ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's heart suddenly had such a wonderful idea.

"Perhaps, life, no one can say for sure."

Why wasn't Tokugawa Ieyasu a subordinate of his life? How can he escape the grasp of fate?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked up at the roof, perhaps looking at something else, and for a long time, he hung his head weakly and sighed deeply.

"It's come to this, Ieyasu, do it, in the whole of Japan, only you are qualified to take my life."

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi deeply, and after a long time, he slowly stood up and drew his saber.

"Taige, if it weren't for this war, I wouldn't have defeated you so smoothly, but it's come to this, please don't resent me."

Tokugawa Ieyasu held his knife in both hands, and the blade trembled slightly.

"I don't resent anyone, I want to hate, and I just resent myself."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a place that he was very familiar with and somewhat unfamiliar, with snowflakes floating in the sky, and a cold wind blowing, and he suddenly felt very cold, so he couldn't help but shrink down.

"Monkey, you're here......"

This call, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes widened, the source of the voice was behind him, he turned his head, the person who had been dusted in his memory for ten years appeared in front of him again, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face was full of consternation, and the sentence "lord" blurted out.

"I didn't expect that this farewell was ten years, I thought that I would have to wait a little longer!"

Oda Nobunaga sat in front of him, with the same familiar and confident smile on his face as ever.

"Lord, you ...... Why are you here? ”

Oda Nobunaga stood up and said with a smile: "Wait for you a little longer, I know that no matter how long I wait, I will definitely wait for you here, I guessed correctly." ”

"Lord...... Wait for me? ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was stunned.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you to carry my straw sandals!"

Oda Nobunaga pointed to the soles of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's feet, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi subconsciously looked down and found a pair of straw sandals that looked somewhat familiar.

In an instant, countless memories poured into Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mind.

"I didn't expect that after waiting for you for ten years, I waited for you, I thought I would have to wait for twenty years, thirty years, to be honest, you disappointed me a little, you inherited my ambition, and you failed in just ten years."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's heart rose with a feeling of guilt for no reason.

"Lord...... You know it all? ”

"I know everything, I know it all clearly, you could have kept me waiting, I'm looking forward to it, it's just...... Forget it, what's the point of talking about it now? ”

Oda Nobunaga's face also showed a wry smile: "You don't want to continue waiting for Tokugawa Ieyasu here, right?" ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face flushed, and he hurriedly shook his head: "No, I don't want to." ”

"Hahaha!" Oda Nobunaga looked up to the sky and laughed, leaned less, and said, "Then let's go!" ”

"...... go? Where to go? ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi hurriedly asked.

Oda Nobunaga shook his clothes and looked behind him.

"Of course it's where we should be."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't ask any more questions, and his heart was calm.

"Let's go!" Oda Nobunaga took a few steps, stopped, turned around, and pointed at Toyotomi Hideyoshi's feet.

"By the way, monkey, bring me straw sandals."

After speaking, Oda Nobunaga turned around and strode forward, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment, then relieved, smiled self-deprecatingly, squatted down and picked up the straw sandals, ran a few steps, and stopped, looked at the straw sandals thoughtfully, and then lifted his clothes and put the straw sandals into his arms.

At the start, Toyotomi Hideyoshi caught up with Oda Nobunaga.
