Originally, the messenger came to report, and he should have finished what he wanted to report in one breath. However, the news he reported was too shocked. After saying it, he was interrupted by Tokugawa Ie-Kuan himself. After saying another word, he was shocked again, making him unable to finish it in one breath.

At this time, seeing that he could speak, he quickly reported again: "The Ming army has retreated."

"What, the Ming army retreated?" When Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, he was surprised and felt a little incredible, and quickly confirmed.

The others were also stunned and came to their senses, staring at the messenger, with expectations on their faces.

The messenger nodded quickly and said in a very certain tone: "The Ming army has boarded the ship and left, it's true!"

After confirming, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but feel happy again, muttering to himself: "Let's go, okay, let's go..."

But Zhengzhi, who was beside him, was still asking the messenger: "Why did the Ming army retreat?"

When Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, he quickly shut up and looked at the messenger, and was also concerned about this issue.

However, the messenger shook his head, not sure. Anyway, the Ming army did not announce it, so he had no way to know.

As a result, Tokugawa Iemitsu was confused: he had sent troops to attack North Korea and fought several times with the Ming army. Now the Ming army sent troops to retaliate. But what is strange is why did the Ming army retreat after occupying Edo?

Tokugawa Iemitsu and several of his important officials discussed it and felt that the Ming army might be powerful or that they did not want him to unify Japan again. Of course, it was also possible that something happened to the Ming army itself, which made the Ming army have a reason to not stay in Edo...

It is impossible to confirm the reason why Mingjun suddenly came and left suddenly, but it does not prevent Tokugawa Iemitsu from confirming his next action, that is, to hurry back to his nest to check the situation.

So, just a few days after Tokugawa Iemitsu, he gave up Kyoto again, and then took over Emperor Guangming and hurried back to Edo.

…………

Haoge was really forced into a dead end by Tokugawa Iegumi, and he could not retreat again. There was absolutely no possibility of winning against the Ming army; but he could still win against the Tokugawa shogunate. Therefore, he slowly threw out all his non-elite subordinates, causing him to lose consecutively and unable to compete with the Tokugawa Iegumi. So he prepared for the elite to fight against Tokugawa Iegumi, either to die or to break the net.

But he was holding on to his strength when the horse suddenly came to report that the Tokugawa shogunate had withdrawn its troops in a hurry, which surprised Haoge.

There must be evil when something abnormal happens. Haoge sent someone to inquire again and finally found out the reason for the Tokugawa shogunate withdrawing troops, which surprised him greatly.

If it was stated that the army sent troops to save him, he would never believe it. He was not someone from the Ming Dynasty, or he was a mortal enemy and the target of being pursued. It would be nice if the Ming army did not attack him. How could it be that the Tokugawa shogunate attacked him?

For this situation, he had to ask the "defying bag" about the situation. After all, Mingren still understands Mingren better.

Bao Chengxian's injuries were not healed. Even if they were almost healed, they would be given new injuries by Haoge. When he heard Haoge's question, he could only endure the pain and answered: "Master, this may have something to do with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty..."

"What?" Haoge was shocked when he heard this, "You mean, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty came to Japan?"

If the Emperor of Ming came to Japan, it means that the Ming Dynasty was going to do a big deal in Japan. This big deal was nothing more than capturing the entire Japan. What should he do if he Haoge?

If you don’t have the Ming army, you will be powerless. In addition, the Ming emperor who destroyed Shengjing, isn’t he going to die and die!

"No, master!" Bao Chengxian saw that he was afraid of being like this, so he could understand it in his heart, so he quickly explained, "The meaning of slaves, the action of the Ming army was probably out of the will of the Ming emperor. It was because slaves looked at the way of using troops before the Ming emperor, and cherished the Ming army soldiers very much, and did not expect that the Ming army soldiers were killed or injured too much."

Seeing Haoge breathing a sigh of relief after hearing what he said, Bao Chengxian also felt relieved. As long as Haoge was in a good mood, he could fight less. So he quickly continued to explain: "The Ming army took advantage of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army's full strength to attack our army, and Edo's troops were empty, which was the smallest way of fighting. If the Ming army continued to occupy Edo, it would face the desperate counterattack of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army, which would definitely cause the Ming army to lose more troops. Therefore, the Ming army retreated and did not want to lose too much troops."

After a pause, Bao Chengxian continued: "Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Ming Dynasty in Japan, would not care too much about these. If he could make the decision, since he had eaten this Edo, he would definitely not vomit it out again. The same is true for the last time Kyoto fell. Sun Chuanting would definitely occupy Kyoto regardless of casualties, and then attacked us from Tokuyama, and ambushed us back from Tokuyama..."

Haoge understood it, and it turned out that all this was manipulated by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

An emperor with a wealthy population of countless people is so stingy with Ming soldiers. He is so unsightly! If he were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he would have conquered Japan long ago, so there would be so many ink marks!

Thinking of this, Haoge couldn't help but despise the Emperor of Ming Dynasty who was far away in the capital: Humph, the kindness of a woman!

But he didn't know that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen did this was that women were kind, but more so, they played chess with the whole world as a chess game. They didn't care about the matter of a little Japanese country!

If Japan was captured too early, the losses of the Ming army would definitely not be small, and there would be fewer veterans to fight elsewhere in the future; and Japan would also become one of the burdens of the Ming Dynasty, and at least in a short period of time, it would be impossible to produce anything. If all forces in Japan were allowed to consume more from each other, after the Ming Dynasty occupied Japan, it would not only make the Japanese people who suffered from the war be grateful to the Ming Dynasty, but also reduce the burden to stabilize the rule of Japan.

Besides, Emperor Chongzhen's attention was focused on internal affairs at this time. For the outside world, Tianshan was the focus of his attention, because there were more uncertain things there. Sooner or later, Japan was the meat from the Ming bowl, and it would be eaten sooner or later, so there was no need to hurry up.

So, if the pattern is different, the ideas will be different. With Haoge's ability, at most, he is just paying attention to such an island as Japan. He thinks he can do better than Emperor Chongzhen, so he can only be said to be a frog in the well!

No matter what, the current situation can relieve him again, which made him very happy. He hit Bao Chengxian's shoulder in a circle and said happily: "You Mingdog, your brain is really good, it would be a pity to kill you!"

Unexpectedly, Haoge beat him happily, and even beat him to make Bao Chengxian grin, but in the end, he still had to bear the pain and replied: "Master is too much, and the servant is not as smart as the master."

When will this day come to an end?

Haoge ignored him and immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss military information and decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to re-expand his power.

It’s true that the Tokugawa Shogunate Army was first attacked by Edo, which made people panic; the other was that the Hoge troops were no longer able to do so, and they were just the last blow, so they were more cautious.

Haoge led the troops to raid the Tokugawa Shogunate Army, fully developing the ability of the Kenlu to create panic and chase, starting with the miscellaneous troops of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army, expelling these Japanese troops swept through the Tokugawa Shogunate Army, resulting in the defeat of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army. It was not until Nagoya that he stabilized his position.

However, the revitalization of the Hoge troops was high in morale; and the Tokugawa Shogunate Army turned from victory to defeat, and even if it stabilized, its morale was low. Many samurai were thinking about the little family in Edo, and they didn't think about fighting to die in Nagoya, but they just wanted to return to Edo as soon as possible.

How could Haoge miss such a rare opportunity, and took away the defeated soldiers from the prisoners and launched a fierce attack on the Tokugawa Shogunate Army with human life tactics. It can be said that countless casualties and injuries were caused. The continuous battles in Nagoya really became hell on earth.

In the end, the Tokugawa shogunate army had to retreat slowly, and Haoge's troops restored the sphere of influence before the Ming army attacked Kyoto.

"Hahaha, how about it, I can't beat you to death, right?" Haoge stood on the broken city of Nagoya, watching his subordinates swarming north, and couldn't help laughing to the sky, "I will twist the head of the old man Tokugawa Ie-Kuang, sooner or later as a urinal!"

"Master, the mighty man!" Bao Chengxian had a little tooth pain. He had a really toothache. He only had a few teeth and was torturing him. "Now, we should act in one go, and we can't give Tokugawa Iemitsu a chance to relieve it!"

Before, Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to do something and destroy the Hoge's troops; now, it was Haoge who wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Haoge nodded and was about to agree, but Turge said on the side: "Master, the resistance of the Tokugawa shogunate army has become increasingly greater at this time. Although it is an opportunity to destroy them at this time, our losses will be heavy. In the eyes of a servant, we must take a breath!"

First, he failed to attack the Ming army, but was taught a lesson by the Ming army, and then he was beaten by Tokugawa Igami as a dog. It was really about to reach a desperate situation. Now he is chasing the Tokugawa shogunate army, and he has basically never stopped. Even the elites who are strong enough to fight can't withstand this kind of consumption.

After hearing this, Haoge felt that Turge's words made sense. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

If it were the past, Bao Chengxian would have insisted on his opinion and described the necessity of continuing to hunt down the Tokugawa Shogunate Army. But now he was afraid that if he forced himself to do so, it would attract Haoge's old fist and felt a faint pain in his body, so he chose to remain silent.

However, although he was silent, someone helped him and supported the suggestion he made.

I saw a fast horse racing towards me. The man on the horse's back was obviously a serious Jurchen.
