Seeing this, Xiu Bao immediately rushed out of the door, and this scene left the family and maids all over the room at a loss.

"Your Highness is leaving like this?" Ju Ji asked in a daze. At this moment, she seemed to have not woken up from Xiu Bao's doting.

"It's all my fault. Madam, don't be angry. It's not good if you get angry." Ajiang was indeed feeling guilty for his negligence, but today is a happy day after all. After all, Xiubao's actions will undoubtedly cause great harm to Koji.

"This is all my big mistake. Please don't blame Your Highness and Oshima." Sakura sobbed softly with her big belly. The atmosphere in the room became even more sad, almost offsetting the joy of Yuki Chiyo's birth.

"What are you talking about? I didn't blame anyone." Ju Ji then reacted and explained to her expression: "The moment Yuqian turned around and left, I realized how important the child is to her mother. Although I was crying on the day of the young master's death, it was only out of sympathy for Yuqian. Until today I realized how difficult it is for a mother to come. How could I not understand the situation in Yuqian? It is also worth comforting His Highness, so don't worry about me."

When everyone felt relieved when they heard Ju Ji say this, they couldn't help but feel a lot of favor for this strong-willed Princess Yuzhou.

In the corridor outside the dormitory, Xiubao called out to Hikari who was walking in front of him.

"I'm fine, Your Highness should go back and accompany Kikuhi and Yukichiyo." Before Hideopo could speak, Kikuhiko politely rejected his comfort, endured the pain of losing his son, and walked towards Honmaru without looking back.

"A Ju!" Xiu Bao was still worried and was about to chase her and gave her a hug, but A Zhu stopped her.

"Your Highness, please come back. If you chase after me, it will only make Yuqian even more guilty. Let me leave it to the maid here. You might as well go back and see Mrs. Koji and the Grand Highness." Although Azhu was a maid, she has been with Koji since she was a child and knows Koji's thoughts very well. Since she said that, Hideopo had to stop and watch Koji leave her sight.

In the early morning of September 20, with guilt and attachment to Kikuhime, Hideho led 25,000 troops (including some idle personnel) from Iwamu Port, crossed the Seto Inland Sea, and headed towards Chihou. During this period, various Daming led fleets to join, such as Tosa's Sixth Army General, Nagazomoto Motoki; Awa's Seventh Army General, Hisuka Housekeeping; Nagato's Eighth Army Deputy General, Mori Hidemoto, etc.

This Western Army, with a total strength of nearly 100,000, arrived at Nagoya on the second day of October. Their army was so prosperous that the people in Kyushu were amazed and gave Hideyoshi enough face. However, it was not until October 10 that Ieyasu led 21,000 troops to Nagoya slowly. Of course, some Daming would complain, but they would dare not speak out. Who said that they were Daming who controlled the 2 million stones of Kanto?

Without further ado, on the second day after Ieyasu arrived, Hideyoshi immediately summoned Daming to hold a military meeting in Honmaru and announced the combat plan.

Hideoba knew in advance that the combat plan had been formulated, and Hideoyoshi had already said hello and asked him to stay in Sichuan. Therefore, Hideoba didn't care much about the specific plan for this Korean conquest.

As soon as Hideyoshi started, he officially appointed Xiuqiu as the general of the Korean army to station in Busan; Hideobo was appointed as the garrison general of the Sicheon garrison, and led the Ninth Army to station Sicheon to assist in the defense of Busan;

The attack plan was formulated for three routes to launch one by one. The Eastern Route Army was appointed as the general, with Ukita Hideaki as the general, with the second legion Governor Konishi as the first step, and under the leadership (excluding Mori Hidemoto), Shimazu Hiroyi's Fifth Legion, Nagazomoto of the Sixth Legion, and Aisuka Housekeeping of the Seventh Legion, with a total force of 50,000, heading north along Keizan Road;

The central army was appointed as the general of Tokugawa Hidetachi, with Yamaguchi Hiromasa under Hideaki as the first formation, with 10,000 general reserves and 21,000 10,000 10,000 people, totaling 31,000 people. Departed from Mashan, along Miyang and Xuanfeng entered Chukki Road;

The Western Route Army was appointed as the general of the General, and Kiyoshi Kato was the first to take charge of the Third Army. Kuroda Naomasa of the Fourth Army, Kuroda Naoshima of the Fourth Army, and Naoshima of the Fourth Army, with a force of 50,000. They set out from Busan, headed through Miyang, Daegu, and rushed directly to Sangju.

The other armies are responsible for seizing important coastal towns and building a coastal defense system.

On October 20, after receiving the news that Li Zongcheng had returned to Beijing, Hideyoshi immediately ordered all troops to start crossing the sea according to the established guidelines.

Although the battle of Qingchang was nearly half a year earlier than in history, the actual situation was almost the same. Due to the slackness of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, nearly 200,000 troops quickly landed on the south bank of North Korea. The three armies came in full force and took less than a month to capture all the coastal fortresses such as Xiongchuan, Changyuan, Jinzhou, Sichuan, Gucheng, Shuntian, etc.; coastal ports and islands, such as Donglai, Xishengpu, Angupu, Kade Island, and Zhudao, were quickly captured by the Japanese army.

Of course, in the face of such a strong momentum of the Japanese army, Li Jian, as the head of a country, quickly came up with a response plan: first, he ordered Marshal Quan Yan to lead heavy troops south to defend Caoliangdao, the main transportation route between Seoul and the south; second, of course, he licked his face and asked for help from the Ming Dynasty.

The moment he received the letter of help, the Ming court learned that Hideyoshi's delayed military plan was defeated. Emperor Wanli felt that he was deceived by the Japanese chief. On the one hand, he ordered Li Zongcheng to be exiled to the Dharma and general Shen Weijing. On the other hand, he immediately sent heavenly soldiers to the court to fight against Japanese pirates.

On November 1, the Ming court finally decided to appoint the Liaodong governor Yang Hao to manage the military affairs of North Korea. Ma Gui was the general to control the army. He also appointed Yang Yuan, Liu Jing, and Dong Yiyuan as deputy generals, leading more than 30,000 people from Liaodong, Baoding and other places to cross the river and enter the country.

Although they occupied important coastal towns, most of the cities were demolished by the Korean military and civilians after the Japanese evacuated. Therefore, in order to prevent the food and grass from being ineffective, the rear was empty, three armies were stationed in Qingzhou, Changning and Nanyuan respectively. When the coastal fort in the rear was restored and the defense system was fully established, then the plan was to go north.

The construction of these cities was not achieved overnight. Except for Ulsan, Shuntian, Busan and other places that were well preserved, the rest of the cities were basically left with ruins, especially the areas of Sicheon, Changyuan and Jinzhou. This is a triangular area where both sides compete fiercely. All the cities were turned into scorched earth. Xiubao had no other choice but to use those samurai who were used to swords and guns as engineers. The small Sicheon city was not a problem for 25,000 people. It was soon the end of November, and this city that was not inferior to Busan was finally completed.

According to Hideyoshi's meaning, Ulsan, Busan, Sicheon and Shuntian are the four major fortresses of the Japanese army along the coast of Korea, and have strategic positions that other strongholds cannot match. Take Busan City for example. The northeast is Liangsan City connecting Ulsan, the southeast is Kade Island and Zhudao Island on the sea grain road, the northwest is the Jiancheng Changyuan, and the southwest is the outpost of the Korean naval army, and the southwest is the outpost of the Guje Island that defends the Korean naval army. With Busan as the center, a huge fortress group has been formed. This is also one of the characteristics of Hideyoshi's combat policy, which is to take steady steps in order to form a confrontation.

Similarly, the Sicheon City where Xiubo is located cannot be underestimated. Sicheon City is surrounded by water on both sides, and the northeast is Mashan City connecting Busan; the Tongying Peninsula in the southeast is the location of Xianshan Island, the headquarters of the North Korean naval army; the Jinzhou City in the northwest was originally the same as Changyuan, and was a first-class city, so during the Battle of Wenlu, the Japanese army attacked it twice before it captured it. However, the main body of the city has been damaged. For the safety of Sicheon City, Xiubo had to abandon Jinzhou City and build a fortress on its southeast foothills to become Jincheng Village, barely establishing a northern defense line; as for the South China Sea Island in the southwest, it is the water camp of the southeast fleet, and its status is equally important. Therefore, Xiubo built the Changshan Water Village on the waterways entering and leaving the South China Sea Island to block the South China Sea Island and Changshan Island and protect the water camps on the island.

From this we can see that the headquarters of the North Korean naval army is located in the southwest of Busan and the southeast of Sicheon. It is so embarrassing but still stands tall. It can be seen that these naval army are still very powerful.

Just as the Japanese army invaded South Korea was building a large-scale construction in southern Korea, on December 8, the Ming army's deputy general Yang Yuan led 3,000 troops to Seoul, and continued to move south after a short rest. Three days later, Hideo-won arrived at Namwon, an important town in southern Jeolla Road. At the same time, Hideo-won took Kato Kiyoshimasa as the vanguard and led the Western Route Army to fight towards Namwon in a mighty manner, vowing to attack Chung-chung Road in one fell swoop.
