Although I knew that what was written in the letter was confidential, I saw that Xiu Bao was a little panicked, and I still couldn't help but ask.

As a close minister who served Hideo for many years, Hideo was very relieved about Ichijo. Although it was a secret, he told him without any concealment: "Senator Maori said that Edo Nakana was captured by the Ming army in Heizawa, so I asked me to go to exchange with the power."

"Where is Hiraze? Nakanayan is protected by 20,000 Sankawa warriors, how could he be easily captured?" Yiju was surprised when he heard this, but after all, he had experienced many experiences after Shubo, and he was not confused. He just hoped to ask the matter clearly.

Xiubo was also confused at this time. Apart from the several fortresses along the coast, he had only heard of Seoul and Pyongyang. Where is the Pyeongtaek city? He had no idea about where the Pyeongtaek city was. How could he tell Yiju?

"Don't ask so much. The most urgent thing is to set off for Tianan quickly. The specific situation will be explained at that time." Xiu Bao frowned, looked at the letter, then looked at Quan Wei and Shi Wenmin on the ship, and sighed: "I'll go back to the city first, and you go and ask Marshal Quan to get off the ship."

When I heard that Xiubao asked them to return to the city, Quan Wei and the others were puzzled. Although they tried many times, they were just keeping their mouths tight. There was no way, so they had to take one step at a time. However, one thing is certain, that is, they don’t have to go to Japan for the time being.

Shubo was very quick to move. When Yiju returned to Honmaru, he had ordered people to complete all the trip. After lunch, the group of more than 300 people were led by Nasu Shikiki to escort Shubo and Kwon-kyo to the north along the Jeolla Road. Two days later, on the evening of the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, he arrived at the Tianan Castle where Xiuyuan was.

When Hideopo learned that Hideopo was personally escorting Quanqi, Hideomoto did not dare to neglect it. Just after noon, he led generals such as Kato Kiyoshi and waiting in the south of Tenan Castle. To show sincerity, the Tokugawa family officials who entered the court with Hideopoly this time also attended the event, including Hideopoly's boss, Tadao Tada, and Tadao Honda, the second son of Tadao Honda. Such a virtuous minister can be regarded as a "dream combination" carefully created by Ieyasu for Hideopoly.

Seeing everyone waiting in the cold wind, Xiubao hurriedly dismounted and first Xiuyuan went up to meet him. As the saying goes, the family did not speak two families, and they started chatting with laughter as soon as they met.

"After several months of separation, it is a fate to meet again in this hinterland of North Korea." Xiubao smiled and held Xiuyuan's hand and said in a whisper.

"Yes, I haven't seen each other for three months since I parted with the second generation of the Yamato Toyotomi family." Although Hidemoto sighed, she felt glad and proud to be in-laws with him.

"You are Yamato Daina, and the foreign minister Tadaru Okubo meets with Your Highness." I guess he felt neglected, Tadaru Okubo had to come forward to report to his house to avoid embarrassment.

After being disturbed by Tadao's neighbor, Hideopo found that there were many strange faces in front of him, so he felt rude and quickly bowed to answer: "I just talked to the senator and never thought of neglecting the Daisuke of the Ministry of Justice. I would like to forgive you and everyone from the Tokugawa family."

"Where is there, the Shizhong and the Senate have not seen each other for a long time. It is also appropriate to talk more. However, the wind outside the city is cold and it is really not advisable to stay too long. If it is convenient, please go to the Senate to talk to the Senate again, so as not to freeze your body and delay your business." It is true that the Tokugawa family's genealogy family's master. Although his words are respectful, he is neither humble nor arrogant. He does not whisper or bow down because he asks Yu Xiubo at all.

Although he met Tadao Neighbor in Edo last year, after looking closely at this time, Hideo could truly feel the strong aura of this person. It is no exaggeration to say that except Ieyasu, no one of the Tokugawa family has the courage to be above Tada Neighbor, and even Honda Masato Neighbor has to sigh as bad as himself. Perhaps this is why after the Tokugawa Shogunate was established, he was exiled by Ieyasu and did not return to Edo until his death.

"Thank you for your concern. Since that's the case, please come with me to the city for dinner." Xiu Bao nodded to Tadon Neighbor, turned around and sat on the shoulder carriage prepared for him by Xiu Yuan, and marched towards the inner city of Tianan under the escort of Xiu Yuan and the generals.

The so-called dinner was nothing more than some mountain delicacies and some river fish caught by Hidemon. In that era, the Japanese did not eat pork and rarely ate beef. Therefore, the fish in the water were eaten the most. Those with slightly higher grades would go up the mountain to catch some hares and pheasants. If the bowl of miso soup and some vegetables were added, the meal would be quite rich.

During the meal, Hideopo and Hideomoto were still having fun chatting and laughing, but Tokugawa, who was the person involved, was mostly drinking sake in a depressed state. Even if they chatted occasionally, they would soon be touched by Hideocho, and then they sighed again.

Although Hideopo didn't like Tokugawa's family, he still had to do his job well. Especially now, the "victim" was frowning, but he was smiling here, but it was a bit inappropriate. So Hideopo decided to go straight to the point and listen to the whole story.

"Mr. Master, this time I was in a hurry to come down, and the constituent letter was also vague. I still don't know why Nakana Yan was captured. I wonder if I can tell the truth?" Xiubao put down his wine glass and turned to his side and asked respectfully to Daon Neighbor.

Zhonglin was calm and told Xiubao all the way.

It turned out that the day after Soo-won arrived in Tsun'an, Soo-hung set out from Chungju, passed Zhoude and Xinyang to enter Gyeonggi Province. Facing the eastern gateway Zhushan, Soo-hung did not launch a strong attack like Soo-won guessed, but adopted Zhong Neighbor's suggestion. He first used the cave Taizhong to cut off the water veins from the bottom of the mountain, and then took advantage of the dry weather to prevent fire and burn the forest. In just one day, Zhushan turned into a bald mountain. The Korean defenders in Zhushan City also had a low morale because of the lack of water sources. Many soldiers opened the city and fled that night.

After learning about it, Xiuzhong not only did not strengthen the encirclement net, but instead reduced the number of defenders, deliberately making the city soldiers feel that there was an opportunity. At the same time, he secretly organized more than a hundred warriors to lurk in the middle of the mountain in the dark, waiting for the night to fall to launch an assault.

Sure enough, seeing the Japanese defense relaxed during the day, the Korean defenders fled several times at night. The warriors who were ambushing the city gate opened and rushed up the mountain immediately, taking advantage of the fact that the few soldiers were not prepared to launch a surprise attack, and soon captured the city gate. Then they even raised fire as a trumpet and signaled the army below the mountain to come to pick them up.

Because there were many fleeing people and the number of Japanese troops could not be seen clearly at night, the soldiers guarding the city were panicked and were in a mess, trying to escape from the side door, but they met the main Japanese army who came to support them halfway, and were slaughtered before they could organize any decent resistance.

In just one hour, the east gate of Gyeonggi Province was opened by Xiuzhong. In this battle, a total of 3,000 Korean defenders were wiped out, while the Japanese army lost only more than 100 people. This victory was also named "Zhushan Victory" by Xiuzhong and Zhong's neighbors.
