After everyone left the venue, Hideyoshi signaled Hideo to sit back and ordered all the attendants to withdraw, even 30% was no exception. This made Hideoba feel a little upset. In the past, every conversation, no matter how confidential it was, 30% would always stay next to Hideyoshi. This has become a routine, but now there are only uncles and nephews left in the room. I believe that what we will talk about next is not ordinary.

"You made me look at you with admiration yesterday, Your Highness." Hideyoshi said casually while drinking tea.

"My Chinese is taught by the abbot of Kumatsuji Temple by Xin Tsong Chuan. Yesterday, the incident happened suddenly. I am definitely not intending to deceive Your Highness. Please forgive me." Hideopo bowed down tactfully. Yesterday was too reckless. Hideyoshi was indeed suspicious. Fortunately, he had already passed the qi with Chong Chuan. Even if he investigated, he would not show any flaws.

"Oh, Ichisuke's little abbot is so proficient in Chinese?" Hideyoshi obviously didn't believe it, but his tone was not too tough, as if he had known that Shuibo would find such an excuse.

"Chongchuan is a master of the three masters of Xuanpuling. He has been practicing Chinese since he was a child. Last year, Xiubao became a teacher and studied until now. This is why he achieved the same result yesterday." Xiubao still lowered his head and spoke very sincerely.

"Ling San's apprentice," Hideyoshi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's reasonable. After all, Ling San is the leading master of Sinology in China today."

"It is because of this that my Chinese language can improve so quickly." Feeling that Hideyoshi had already believed in him, Hideopo dared to raise his head.

As mentioned in the previous article, Lingsan of the Emperor is one of Hideyoshi's three great monks. He is familiar with scriptures and is well-versed in Chinese. Compared with Jingzhe, Xuansu and Xixiao Chengdui, he is known for being a "diplomacy monk". Lingsan is relatively restrained and low-key, mainly assisting Hideyoshi in internal affairs, but he is indeed the monk with the highest status in Hideyoshi's heart. Therefore, when he heard that he was Lingsan's disciple, the doubts in Hideyoshi's heart basically dissipated.

"I left you for another thing," Hideyoshi indeed put aside this topic, but his eyes became blurred, and he couldn't tell whether it was sad or sentimental: "Do you know why I arranged for you to go to North Korea?"

"Do you want to temper your subordinates?" Hideoba answered bluntly. In fact, he had another more reasonable answer in his mind.

"This is just one aspect," Hideyoshi shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This time I'm using you as bait again."

"Bail?" Hidebo knew what he meant, but he still had to pretend to be confused to numb Hideyoshi.

"Didn't you figure it out when Changjiguan last time to go to North Korea?" Having already mentioned this level, Hideyoshi believed that Hideopa could not figure it out.

"You mean... Your Highness of the Inner Mansion?" Xiu Bao asked tentatively.

"Well, that's why," Hideyoshi continued: "The inner mansion has two million Shi Zhixing, which is far higher than the other four big bosses. If he doesn't find any opportunity to weaken his strength, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Toyotomi family in the future."

"I understand that during the Battle of Wenlu, His Highness, the inner court, refused to send troops on the grounds of "clearing down the remnants of Hojo's party" and "relapse of eye disease", which made him escape. If he did not seize the opportunity to suppress it this time, he might not lose his final result in the future." Seeing that Hideyoshi did not hide his intentions at all, Hideopo also expressed another answer in his heart.

"I am really worthy of being Xiaozhu's son," Hideyoshi smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, I just want to peel off a layer of skin through this war. As for the result... it doesn't matter anymore."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Xiubao asked in panic. The last sentence was too vague, or Xiubao didn't dare to think about that.

"Don't you understand? You understand, but you just don't want to say it." Hideyoshi poured himself into his own drink. His peaceful tone really made people feel a little scared: "Since the war started, as long as he has been to North Korea, even if he is an ordinary football player, he knows that this battle cannot be won, but no one dares to tell me, it must be for my face."

"Since that's the case, why do you insist on sending troops again? If it's just to weaken Edo's strength, it's not worth it." Hideoba dared to express his thoughts. In his opinion, there is no other way to weaken Ieyasu's strength. "The world's general request" is a superior strategy that is not bloodless. Such as war, such as the practice of hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting one hundred by one, is a bad strategy.

"This is also impossible. The battle of Wenlu did not achieve any results. The names of Western countries complained repeatedly. In order to get compensation, the Korean campaign was still on the string. With Shimazu and Nagazo's personality, if they really didn't want to fight, they would have submitted memorials and advice, but now they all expressed their obedience? Take the Shimazu family for example. This time, not only Yoshihiro led 10,000 troops to fight, but even Nakaho also led 800 samurai to accompany him. It can be seen how eager they are for this battle." As Hideyoshi said, she sighed. It seems that even if there were only one person, the world above ten thousand people would have times when they were indifferent.

"Just you said, even if you fight, the final result will not be the same. Don't they know?" Shuibo was getting bolder and bolder. I believe no one dared to say this to Hideyoshi.

"They had to accompany me if they wanted to beat me. After all, they also had a considerable part of the food and salary. Moreover, the possibility of this sneak attack was extremely high. As long as we could stand firm in the south to form a confrontation, our army would have enough chips to bargain with Ming Kingdom." Those who know history know that this possibility is slim, but Hideopo realized a trace of hope and enthusiasm from Hideoyoshi's eyes, so he felt a little compassion and wanted to tell Hideoyoshi the facts, but in the end he restrained his impulse. History is history, and it has caused waves after traveling through time, and he really can't create greater waves.

"In addition, there is another reason, that is, I will accumulate some military achievements for you. In the future, I will be able to suppress those daimyos in a hundred years." Hideyoshi looked at Hideo-po, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This smile was full of trust and love, which reminded Hideo-po in her father and the Xiu-chou whom she had never met before.

"I am afraid. If so, I would rather stay in Nagou's house and send Gao Hu to command the army on my behalf." Hideopo felt that Hideyoshi was testing him and immediately bowed down.

"Don't be nervous first, listen to me finish my words." Hideyoshi signaled Hideo to get up. At this time, he also curled his smile and said melancholy: "My health has been worse than before recently. In fact, even if the doctor doesn't say it, I know that my deadline is approaching, so I decided to tell you what I think."

"You also know that Xiulai is only three years old now. Even if I can live for another five years, he is only eight years old. How can such a baby who is not dry can shock those evil wolves? And you are different. As Xiulai's cousin, you have no ambitions, at least I didn't find it... Therefore, I decided that you will assist Xiulai in a hundred years. As a warrior, military achievements are a condition that cannot be ignored. Even if you have a million stones of daimyo, if you don't have military achievements, you will be a character that will be laughed at."

"Iekaya, Li family, Huiyuan, Jingsheng, Xiu family, except for the Xiu family, who are a little less qualified, are not a general who is a war-produced general. Although they all chose to surrender in the end, I know that the flame in their hearts has never been extinguished. To suppress these people, how can they do without military achievements?"

"Now that peace is coming, there is no war to fight, so you can only be sent to North Korea to defend the Port of Busan and ensure the smooth flow of transportation lines. This is something that even the Shimazu family has not done. Now that Lee Sun-sin has been dismissed, the North Korean navy is already a mess, and it is no longer difficult to defend Busan. You have to seize the opportunity to perform well."
