Chapter 145: Hiding the truth? Battle along the coast

"So in your opinion, what should we do?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked, suppressing his anger.

Tokugawa Ieyasu rolled his eyes and came up with a plan, "General, we can use their tricks to deceive everyone!"

"We announced to the public that our army would march into Qiongzhou, and deliberately spread the rumor so that the Xing-Pan coalition forces would mistakenly believe that we had relaxed our vigilance against Mount Fushi."

"Then we will go by sea to support Mount Fushi. We will arrive in three days and wipe out the little boy Chu Yang. The plague will be eradicated."

After hearing this, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed, "Great idea! Ieyasu, I'll do as you say!"

"Pass the order down and call on the world to say that we have 300,000 troops, plus local soldiers, a total of 500,000 soldiers, and are about to march into Qiongzhou!"

There was a cunning gleam in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes.

"promise!"

at the same time.

Xing Daorong and Pan Feng, who were ambushing Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army, looked confused in the big tent.

Sima Yi and Wang Meng were looking at the map with frowns on their faces.

"What is Toyotomi Hideyoshi up to? He hasn't come in such a long time. Don't they care about Mount Fuji, the source of the plague?"

Wang Meng was puzzled.

"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."

Sima Yi pondered and said, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a cunning old man. He would never do such a meaningless thing. He must have other intentions."

The two thought about it over and over again, but still could not guess Toyotomi Hideyoshi's intentions.

"Report——"

At this moment, a scout ran in hurriedly, knelt on the ground, and reported loudly: "Report to the military advisor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly led the army to change direction and head towards Qiongzhou for some reason!"

"what?!"

Xing Daorong and Pan Feng rushed over after hearing the news, and were shocked when they heard the news.

"Is this old guy crazy? Why would he go to Qiongzhou instead of Mount Fuji?" Xing Daorong widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Pan Feng was also confused. "Could it be that he wants to attack Wei to save Zhao? But there is nothing here that is worth his concern?"

Sima Yi and Wang Meng looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time: Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!

"Hideyoshi Toyotomi's goal was not Qiongzhou at all. He wanted to..."

"He wants to take the sea route and take a detour to Mount Fuji!" Wang Meng said first.

"That's right!"

Sima Yi slammed the table, his expression becoming extremely serious, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi wants to take advantage of our letdown to launch a surprise attack on Mount Fuji!"

"Then what should we do now?"

Xing Daorong and Pan Feng were suddenly panicked.

"The only solution now is..." Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "The only solution is to take the initiative and disrupt Toyotomi Hideyoshi's deployment!"

"Take the initiative?"

Xing Daorong was stunned for a moment, "Military Advisor, you mean to let our 70,000 troops fight Toyotomi Hideyoshi's 300,000 troops!"

"That's right!"

Sima Yi pointed to a point on the map and said, "If Toyotomi Hideyoshi wants to bypass Mount Fushi, he must pass through Kyushu Island. Let's set off now and reach Kyushu Island before Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and then..."

"Then catch them all in one swoop!" Wang Meng took over the conversation, with a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Okay! Let's do it!"

Xing Daorong and Pan Feng looked at each other, with raging flames of war burning in their eyes.

"Pass the order down, all troops assemble, target - Kyushu Island!"

at the same time.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army arrived at the coastline of Kyushu Island in a mighty force.

Looking around, there were crowds of people, and swords, spears, and halberds were flashing coldly in the sun, like a sea of steel, ready to swallow everything at any time.

"Your Highness,"

A warrior knelt on one knee and reported respectfully, "All warships are ready and can set off at any time!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, wearing gorgeous armor, a golden helmet on his head, and a sharp samurai sword on his waist, stood on a high observation tower, gazing at the magnificent sea, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"very good,"

He waved his hand and said proudly, "Pass the order down, all troops board the ship, target - Mount Fushi!"

"Roar!"

At the command, the 300,000-strong army suddenly burst into a deafening roar, their morale high, as if they were about to crush all obstacles.

Just at this moment.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute, General,"

He took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Oh? What do you think, Ieyasu?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi turned around and looked at him with interest.

Tokugawa Ieyasu stroked his graying beard, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "I feel that the Xing-Pan coalition may have already rushed here."

"what?!"

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi heard this, his expression suddenly changed. "You mean, they know our plan?"

Seeing that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a little flustered, Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled calmly and said, "Don't panic, General. Even if they know our plan, it will be too late."

"how do I say this?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi frowned and looked at him in confusion.

"General, please think about it,"

Tokugawa Ieyasu pointed at the map and said, "It will take us five days to reach Mount Fushi by sea, but only two days by land. The Xing-Pan coalition will definitely not let us go by sea."

"And their mission is to stop our army. Now that we are marching into Qiongzhou, they will come here no matter what."

"What you mean is..." Toyotomi Hideyoshi seemed to understand what he meant, but was still a little uncertain.

"That's right,"

Tokugawa Ieyasu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, "Since they are coming, we will take advantage of their situation, wait for them to tire themselves out, and catch them off guard!"

"As long as we defeat the Xing-Pan coalition forces within one day, we can march to Mount Fushi."

"Then this battle is over."

"Wonderful!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "Ieyasu, you even lied to me. Fine! I'll follow your plan!"

He turned around abruptly and shouted an order to the warriors behind him: "Pass the order down, all troops should build a temporary camp and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out. We must annihilate the Xing-Pan coalition forces completely!"

"Roar!"

The 300,000-strong army once again roared deafeningly, and quickly took action, starting to build temporary camps on the coast.

the other side.

Mount Fuji, a towering mountain, overlooks the land of Japan like a silent giant.

On the top of the mountain, Chu Yang faced the biting mountain wind and looked deeply into the distance, which was the direction of the Japanese Islands.

"Mr. Zhou, how long do you think it will take for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to arrive?"

Chu Yang broke the silence, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Zhou Yu, who was standing beside him, was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, gently waving a feather fan. Hearing Chu Yang's words, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Highness, according to my estimation, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army will arrive at the foot of Mount Fushi in three days, or at most five days."

"Right now, the fighting on Kyushu Island must be going on like a raging fire."

There was a hint of helplessness in Zhou Yu's tone.
