Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 291 Izumo Enchantress
Satsuma Country, Kagoshima Banjo.

Shimazu Sadahisa, who was over eighty years old, was drinking tea in the pavilion with a middle-aged scribe and an old monk. One of his grandsons, Shimazu Takahisa, hurriedly came over.

"Grandpa, my third uncle just sent an urgent message. There is a Dachu fleet docking in Kino in the morning.

There are more than [-] ships and [-] soldiers. The leaders are Wu Ninghou of Chu and Jia Qiong, the general of Anton. "

Shimazu Sadahisa said in surprise: "Forty thousand soldiers! Da Chu actually dispatched so many troops and came so quickly.

Jia Qiong, Marquis of Wuning, was the number one scholar in Chu State who passed three yuan. "

Shimazu Takahisa nodded and said: "That's exactly the person.

The third uncle said that Nanmudu Village was also coming with the Chu army, and he was afraid that the people who came were not good-natured.

He will first think of ways to stabilize the Chu army and ask Grandpa to think of countermeasures quickly. "

Shimazu Sadahisa and the middle-aged scribe looked at each other and said, "The Chu army has dispatched such a large army. Mr. Hojo, how do you think our Satsuma country should respond?"

Hojoji frowned and said: "It's so fast. We just received the news, but we didn't expect that the Chu army was already approaching the city.

However, the Southern Dynasty can't hold on for long. As long as we can hold off the Chu army for three or four months, Lord Ashikaga Takauji can defeat the Kanto Allied Forces and completely wipe out the Southern Dynasty. At that time, the Chu army will retreat. "

Shimazu Takahisa couldn't help but said: "Lord Hojo, the Chu army has [-] troops. How can our country, Satsuma, resist it?"

Hojo Tsukasa said: "The Chu army has to cross the oceans and spend a lot of time on an expedition. It will definitely be unaccustomed to the climate and the soil, and its combat power will be greatly reduced.

The general can concentrate his troops and set up defenses in the Kunomi Mountain area, relying on the mountains. I will contact the surrounding countries.

As long as the general can hold out for ten days, I can come back with reinforcements. "

Shimazu Sadahisa smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Hojo, Satsuma Kingdom only has a total of five thousand soldiers, and I am afraid that only 3000 can be mobilized in a hurry.

Don't say ten days, I'm afraid we won't be able to last even half a day. "

Hojoji glanced at Shimazu Sadahisa and asked, "What, does the general want to surrender to the Southern Dynasty again?"

Shimazu Sadahisa hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I never meant this.

It's just that our country, Satsuma, really doesn't have the strength to compete with the Chu army, and I'm afraid it will miss the important event of Lord Ashikaga Takauji. "

Hojoji's face was gloomy, and the old monk on the side smiled and said: "It is indeed a bit difficult to let the Satsuma Kingdom and the Chu army fight head-on. We might as well think of other ways."

Hojoji asked curiously: "What's Master Chen Guang's clever plan?"

Monk Chenguang said: "Izumo Demon Princess Yan Shiyu is currently practicing in Kuzhuyuan.

Lord Shimazu Sadahisa might as well pretend to surrender to the Chu army first, show the enemy that he is weak, and dedicate Yan Shiyujin to the Chu army general.

With Izumo's stunning beauty, it shouldn't be difficult to let the Chu army rest for a few more days. "

Hojo Tsukasa was surprised and said: "Izumo Demon Princess Yan Shiyu, she is actually hiding in Kuzhuyuan."

Monk Chen Guang smiled and said: "Mr. Hojo doesn't know something. Back then, this woman caused the father and son brothers of Izumo to kill each other. There were many wars and blood flowed like rivers.

Imperial Master Izumo said that she was born as a demon star and wanted to put her to death.

My senior brother was preaching Dharma in Izumo Country at that time. He was compassionate and brought the girl back to Kuzhuyuan, hoping to use Buddhism to neutralize her demonic power.

However, this succubus is so powerful that young disciples are easily seduced by it.

We can only lock her in the back mountain courtyard to prevent her from cholera, so the world doesn't know she is in Buzhu Courtyard.

Although the Chu army was coming fiercely, its commander was only a young man under twenty. How could he resist Yan Shiyu's temptation. "

Hojoji said: "This plan is feasible, but Yan Shiyu is probably almost 30 years old.

Even though she was very beautiful back then, how much beauty does she still have at such an old age now? Monk Chenguang said with a smile: "My lord, you don't know. This Yan Shiyu is getting more and more demonic as she gets older. Even I don't dare to see her easily, for fear of breaking my Zen mind." "

Hearing this, Hojoji chuckled and said, "Since Master Chen Guang said so, it must be foolproof."

Shimazu Sadahisa nodded and said: "Then let's do it. I will take Yan Shiyu to hold back the Chu army, and ask Mr. Hojo to bring reinforcements back as soon as possible."

Hojoji said: "I will go to the surrounding countries to ask for help. The reinforcements will arrive within ten days.

As long as we can hold off the Chu army and wait until Lord Ashikaga Takauji unifies the world, General Shimazu will be a great hero.

Your Excellency will definitely reward the Shimazu clan and grant you a large territory. "

After Hojoji left, Shimazu Sadahisa waved Shimazu Takahisa to leave, and he and the morning light monk discussed alone.

"Shijiu, will Yan Shiyu be willing to cooperate with us?"

Monk Chenguang said: "Brother, don't worry, Yan Shiyu has been imprisoned in Kuzhuyuan for ten years. As long as we can let her out, this woman is willing to do anything for us.

However, does my brother really want to be an enemy of the Chu army? If a fight breaks out, our country of Satsuma will be destroyed. "

Shimazu Sadahisa smiled and said: "Don't worry, I, Shimazu Sadahisa, will never do anything without profit."

Monk Chenguang asked: "Is that brother planning to surrender to the Southern Dynasty?"

Shimazu Sadahisa shook his head and said: "We must rely on the strongest to gain benefits."

Monk Chenguang frowned and said, "Is it possible that my brother wants to join the Chu State?

They are just guest troops, or foreigners. They will leave sooner or later. How can we join them? "

Shimazu Sadahisa said: "Since Dachu has intervened in Japanese affairs, how can it be possible to withdraw troops easily.

It’s hard to say who will win the world in Japan in the end, so we have to bet on both ends.

Regardless of whether it is a false surrender or a true surrender, as long as we hold off the Chu army for ten days, we can handle Ashikaga Takauji.

With Yan Shiyu as a gift, at least our Shimazu clan can be saved.

I'll go meet that Jia Qiong first and then decide what to do. "

Kino Town is only a hundred miles away from Kagoshima Banjo. It can be reached in three hours by fast horse. Even by horse carriage, it only takes one day.

So on the afternoon of the next day, Shimazu Sadahisa took Yan Shiyu to the outside of Kino Town.

At this time, Kino Town was surrounded by the Chu army. Shimazu Sadahisa's convoy was stopped by the Chu army before it approached the city.

The soldiers guarding the camp asked, "Who are you?"

Shimazu Sadahisa opened the door curtain and saw the miles of military camps and the tall soldiers with bright armor, and the balance in his heart began to tilt.

With such a military strength, even if all the forces of Kyushu were gathered together, they would probably be nothing more than a mantis acting as a chariot.

Shimazu Sadahisa was helped out of the car and said respectfully in Chinese: "I am the guardian of Satsuma Kingdom, Shimazu Sadahisa, and I am here to pay my respects to General Jia."

"You guys wait here, I'll report to the Lord."

In the last carriage of the motorcade, a peerless beauty was quietly looking at the scene outside through the curtains.

Although her face looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, her skin is delicate, fair and flawless.

But her captivating almond eyes and her peach-like mature body exude the ultimate temptation of a mature woman in every move she makes.

There was a slight smile on her lips at the moment, and there seemed to be light flowing in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
