Chapter 1 The first story Killing Guanbai-1

At the root of Owari Kunichita Peninsula, there is a village called Otaka.There are some pine and fir trees in the village, which are vigorous and simple. It is said that once upon a time this was a fishing village facing Narumi Beach.However, since the Oda family often reclaimed land from the sea in the middle of the Warring States period, the village is now quite far away from the sea.However, even now, when people stand at a slightly higher place in the village and look towards the sea, they can still see the rolling waves of the blue Ise Sea through the gaps between the branches of the pine trees.

This is an ordinary village.Surprisingly, the patron saint of the village is enshrined in an ancient shrine built according to the regulations of "Yanxishi".From this it appears that the village has existed from rather remote times.The shrine is named Fire Sister. "Sister" - as the name suggests, a girl who lived in this area in ancient times is worshiped here.Her name is Gong Yuyuan, and she is the younger sister of a local chief named Daozhong in ancient times.She married a Japanese warrior who came here from Yamato to conquer Dongyi.There must have been a few nights of quilt and pillow love between the two of them.Just because of such a little karma with the ancient hero, the girl’s name was recorded in the "Ancient Matters", and the local people built this shrine for her in the depths of the forest. Pay homage to her.People live by reason and condition.If man lived alone, he would be no different from a beast.A biological being qualifies as a social being only when he lives in karma—that is, in relation to others.This is probably the mystery of the human world discovered by Buddhists.The strange experience of the girl Gong Yuyuan has a symbolic relationship with the story we are going to tell below.

During the Warring States period, in this Dagao village lived a farmer with thin limbs. His name is Yasuke, and he lives on his own small amount of Susukida and renting out others' fields.Yasuke has little ability and looks ugly.His wife died early, and at this time, he was looking for a woman who could continue his life.In the villages in this area, there are often peddlers who walk through the villages and alleys.These shopkeepers are like the wind that spreads pollen. Wherever they go, they often introduce partners and matchmaking.One of the shopkeepers came out to be the old man under the moon, and he said to Yasuke: "In the middle village, there is a woman who happens to be in the same family as you. Although she is a widow, fortunately she has no children. What do you think?" It worked.

The woman's name is Ayou, and she looks very ugly.Yasuke was rather disappointed.However, it was this friend who later became a famous lady in Japan—Nichihide Zuiryuuin.Naturally, this was something Yasuke never dreamed of. People of Yasuke's class get married without any ceremony.It is nothing more than lighting a bonfire at the door, inviting a few relatives and neighbors, and drinking a few sips of vinegar-like sour wine.After the guests all went back, Ayou knelt on the floor of the room, and said to Yasuke in a delicate voice that didn't match her appearance: "I'm homeless, I hope my husband will love you forever! "

"It's a bargain now!" Hearing the woman's delicate voice and seeing her docile attitude, Yasuke thought in his heart.That's right, Ah You is equivalent to not having a mother's family.According to Ayou, shortly after her mother gave birth to her and her younger brother, her biological father passed away early.The mother was desperate and unable to make a living, so she recruited Takeami, a man from the next door, as her husband and remarried.Not long ago, another son was born to Takeami.Her stepfather, Takeami, was violent by nature, and because of this, one of her younger brothers was forced to abandon their home and run away.She has no feelings for her natal family who gave birth to her.After hearing the woman's remark, Yasuke said, "It's better for me." It would be a man's misfortune if he got a daughter-in-law who was always in love with her natal family.So, he said to his wife: "Give roots quickly, and treat my village as the place where you were born and raised. Everything depends on fate."

Yasuke said: "Everything depends on karma." However, he did not know that a wonderful karma had already broken ground in a corner of the world.It sprouted, grew, and expanded with an almost miraculous momentum in a place that the Yasuke couple didn't even know.This person is the younger brother of Yasuke's wife, nicknamed Monkey.By the way, there is a book called "The Life of Taihe".The narrator is Satomasa of Nakamura Village, the daughter of Inakuma Sukeemon, who is a childhood friend of the siblings.In her later years, she told her adopted son Tsuchiya Sadachi the childhood story of the rare hero born in her village, and asked him to record it.At the beginning of the book, this friend's younger brother is introduced in a concise manner:

He was named Houzi when he was young, and changed his name to Fujikichiro, and later to Chikuzen Mamoru. Then wrote: Lord Nobunaga gave him the surname Yu Chai, so he was named Yu Chai Zhuqian Shou.His successor was Guan Bai, who was bestowed the surname Fengchen by the emperor. ... Sister Taihe was born in the same place, named Ruilongyuan.The two siblings were born of the same father and mother. The success of his brother-in-law Hideyoshi has completely changed the living conditions of Yasuke, a farmer in Dataka Village, which he never expected. He even changed his name to "Miyoshi Musashi Shouyi".

Before he had time to be surprised by the sudden change in his situation, his brother-in-law Hideyoshi said: "Brother Yasuke, you should become a great name!" This made him a prince with a fief of 100,000 stones in Inuyama, Owari Kingdom.However, Yasuke was a farmer after all, and he didn't have the confidence to become a daimyo, so he had to beg Hideyoshi to allow him not to go to Owari, and put the fief under Hideyoshi's direct jurisdiction, while he himself received a salary, lived in Osaka Castle, and lived his life. Leisure days. "Now my body doesn't belong to me anymore." Yasuke thought blankly.

The whole story of his being given the surname "Sanhao" was also like a magic show.Hideyoshi came from a humble background, so he always tried his best to whitewash the identity of his relatives, even if it was false.The Miyoshi family in Awa is a famous family, and was once the hottest and most popular family in the capital.Now this family has long since declined, leaving only an old man who claims to be a Taoist in Xiaoyan, who is still living in the world.The old man's original name was Miyoshi Yasunaga, and he once served as the guard of the mountain castle in his heyday, and he shocked the three prefectures of Hequan and Quanzhou, and was expelled by Oda Nobunaga.Now, he entrusts his old and disabled body to Hideyoshi.Hideyoshi also treated him as a vassal's gift and made him his staff.Hideyoshi said to Xiaoyan, "Daoist, lend me your surname."

Since it was Hideyoshi's order, of course Xiaoyan had to obey.So he recognized Yasuke and his wife as his adopted son and daughter in name.Not only the couple, but even their children are counted as grandchildren.And let one of them, named Jibei, be the heir of the Miyoshi family, and asked him to use the hereditary name of the Miyoshi family, Sun Qilang, and called him: "Miyoshi Sun Qilang Xiuji". This is the second person in the future who will hold an important position in Guan Bai.In short, Xiuci's parents Yasuke and his wife did not make any efforts for their own future.The formation of this noble family is entirely due to "karma".Because of this, Sun Qilang Xiuji also enjoyed the grace brought by this luck.Even so, Sun Qilang is different from his parents after all, he has made a little bit of effort.To be precise, this effort is more than "a little bit".

After Sun Qilang Xiuci held the coming-of-age ceremony, he won the fief of 20,000 stone in Hanoi.Later, under the leadership of his uncle Hideyoshi, he joined the army from the age of fourteen or fifteen.Needless to say, he has been the sole general from the very beginning.At the age of sixteen, he participated in the war against Kazumashi Takikawa in the Ise region. "Work hard, do a good job, and you will benefit in the future!" Uncle Hideyoshi often said this. The so-called "benefits" probably refer to being Hideyoshi's successor.This kindness cannot be more appropriate.Because this Sun Qilang is the most innocent person in the world who has inherited Hideyoshi's bloodline.Although Sun Qilang's second brother Xiaoji (Xiu Sheng) is also the same, but this second brother is slightly less intelligent and was born with a one-eyed dragon.The third brother was still a child (he was later named Hidetoshi), and had already been adopted by Hideyoshi's half-brother Hidecho, so he was no longer counted.In short, the only young people who are related to Hideyoshi are the three born to his sister Ayu. "This young master will be the commander-in-chief in the future." All the generals in Hideyoshi's army also saw this.Naturally, some well-versed generals treated Sun Qilang as Hideyoshi's representative. Only Masayoshi Fukushima took this matter as a laughing stock and openly held a contemptuous attitude towards Sun Qilang.Fukushima is one of Hideyoshi's few relatives.His original name was Masanori Ichimatsu, and he was the son of a cooper in Kiyosu, Owari country.Because of the blood relationship with Hideyoshi's deceased father, he was raised in Hashiba's house since he was a child, serving as a small orderly soldier, and made great contributions in the battle of Jianzhidake. Now he is the leader and leads the three teams.Zhengzheng was originally a sharp-edged person, who was considered a bit arrogant, and the idea that he thought he was Hideyoshi's close relative was too strong, so he would only look at Sun Qilang with a jealous look, and treat him like no one else. Xiuci commented: "At best, this kid has the ability to turn over a clod of soil." It means that this is a piece of material for a farmer. When someone called Sun Qilang "Young Master", Zhengzheng laughed out loud.He spread around and said: "Is that kid considered a son? Yes, he is wearing the clothes of a son, but it is an embroidered pillow, which is just for show. Even if this kind of person is a mule and horse transport team, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to wear it." competent." Although these bad words behind his back did not reach Sun Qilang's ears, he felt that there seemed to be such discussions in private.He naturally put on airs, and in the end he became condescending and arrogant even to the veterans who served him.He was only sixteen at the time. However, in terms of combat, because the generals who assisted him took over the military affairs with one hand, although there was no great merit, there was no big mistake.This young man once had a major action to change the war situation, to be precise, to change history, and that was in the second year after that, when he was seventeen years old. That battle was later known as the battle of Komaki and Nagakute.The time is after Hideyoshi took control of the twenty-four countries in central Japan.In order to use this power to conquer Tokugawa Ieyasu who was entrenched in the East China Sea, Hideyoshi personally led an army into Owari.Ieyasu didn't show weakness either. He mobilized all the troops of Mikawa in his old country, set up a formation in Owari, and confronted Hideyoshi's army, which was almost three times his own.The two parties participating in the war are spying on each other's fiction and reality, staring at each other but standing still.Both sides have built solid field positions, and the battle lines are at a stalemate.In such an occasion, whoever acts rashly will probably suffer a disadvantage.Both sides adopted the same posture, and if the enemy dared to make a move, he would strike immediately. Hideyoshi is cautious.However, at this time, two unexpected figures came out to offer advice to him.They are Katsuri Ikeda and his son Terumasa Ikeda.Ikeda Katsuri was an old colleague of Hideyoshi when he was under Oda Nobunaga.For Hideyoshi, who has gained the world in a short period of time, this is a person who does not want to offend.Ikeda is eager to invite credit.He suggested that Ieyasu's old nest in Sanhe was empty, and he could immediately organize a guerrilla force, march secretly, bypass Ieyasu's defense line secretly, and then drive straight into Mihe.In this way, Ieyasu will panic, abandon the front line, and send troops back to save the old nest.Allow me to be the vanguard of this guerrilla force.Hideyoshi did not agree.Because if this matter is discovered by Ieyasu, it will definitely lead to failure and affect the entire army.The next day, Katsushi made another plea to Hideyoshi.Hideyoshi finally agreed to him in order not to make Sheng into dissatisfaction.Just explained to him in detail what should be paid attention to. A guerrilla force was soon formed.The vanguard is Ikeda Katsushito, and the central army is served by Morinaga Ke and Hori Hidemasa.The selected generals are all known as fierce generals since the Oda period.Miyoshi Sun Qilang Xiuji served as the queen, and he also served as the general of the entire guerrilla army.Their 20,000-strong force set off from the Owari Rakuten position in the middle of the night on April 6th in the twelfth year of Tensho (1584).On the first day of the march, the troops sneaked over Wukuangpo and passed in front of Ieyasu's position. The operation went smoothly without being noticed by the opponent.Ieyasu did not get the information until the next day, April 7, after the sun began to set.It was earlier that Ieyasu had been placed in Hideyoshi's army, a spy from Iga named Hattori Heiroku, who slipped back home and reported urgently to Yasushi's camp. Ieyasu was ecstatic when he got the news that Hideyoshi's team had been dispatched.After the sun went down, Ieyasu went into action.His solution was to follow the enemy's guerrillas with a single army marching in the same stealth.Ieyasu managed to quietly mobilize 9,000 troops from Komaki's base camp, and pursued them with a full-speed night march.In the middle of the night, the enemy rearguard was spotted. "Who is the enemy's general in the rear?" "Three good Sun Qilang." A servant replied. This is the first time Ieyasu has dealt with Hideji directly. "What kind of character is he?" Ieyasu asked another person who knew the enemy's situation well. The man replied that he was one of Hideyoshi's adopted sons and was seventeen years old.He also said that the military equipment used by this young general is so rare that it is a bit unbelievable. Sun Qilang Xiuci is a fan of collecting, and liking collecting is one of his lifelong hobbies.Recently, he is enthusiastically collecting weapons of famous generals.For example, the horse emblem he used as the general's emblem was a large golden flag.This object was originally owned by Shibata Katsuie, the leading general under Oda Nobunaga who died in the battle of Echizen Hokusho.The helmet he wears is a Tang crown made in imitation of a Chinese helmet. This was originally the weapon of Hineno Hiroyuki, a military general from the Mino region who is now serving as a garrison under Hideyoshi. The owner asked for it, and he barely got it.The shawl made of bird feathers belonged to Hitarusuke Kimura.Kimura is a hero from Omi, who is now serving in Hideyoshi's army.This shawl was originally a common item of Kimura, but Sun Qilang couldn't stand up to Sun Qilang's begging, so he had to reluctantly part with it.This can really be said to be a collection of the battlefield attire of contemporary heroes. "This man is really weird!" Ieyasu tilted his head and said with a slightly puzzled expression. Ieyasu couldn't help laughing secretly.For Ieyasu, what he wants to know most is the strength of the enemy generals.The pioneer Ikeda wins, is a world-renowned tiger general.Hori Hidemasa, a Chinese soldier, has experienced many battles and is highly skilled in martial arts.Morinaga Ke was originally an old minister of the Saito family in the Mino country, named Musashi Mori, and later followed Oda Nobunaga to fight in the north and south, galloping freely, and got the nickname "Ghost Musashi".In addition, because his younger brothers Ranmaru and Rikimaru fought bravely to defend Oda Nobunaga at Honnoji Temple in Kyoto and sacrificed their lives for the Lord, their family is very famous in the world.For a surprise attack to be successful, it is necessary to strike at the enemy's weak points.And the above three are too powerful as targets.Jiakang heard that Sun Qilang's attire was quite rare, so he said, "This man must be a weak general." According to Ieyasu, this relative of Hideyoshi seems to be trying to use these superficial attires to cover up his timidity and incompetence.After forming such a view, Ieyasu focused his attack on the rear guard led by Sun Qilang, by surrounding it first and then fighting. Sun Qilang's rearguard troops are in the Baishan Forest Night Camp.This is a hillside land, high in the east and low in the west. There is only a north-south passage at the bottom of the valley, and both sides of the road are covered with lush forests.Judging from the terrain, I'm afraid it can only be said that Sun Qilang camped here entirely for the purpose of being attacked by the enemy.What's more, even Ieyasu, who launched the attack, was surprised that the enemy didn't even send sentries, nor did they set up lookout posts on high places.It became an easy fight.Ieyasu gave the order to wipe out the enemy.Taking advantage of the dark night, he let all 9,000 troops lurk deep in the forest, surrounded the enemy tightly, and waited for the opportunity to attack. The east turned pale, and Sun Qilang's troops got up.But still no siege was found.They were talking noisily and having breakfast.Just then, Ieyasu's troops launched an all-out onslaught. This is no longer a war but a massacre.Most of the soldiers threw down their jobs and fled for their lives in a panic without even having time to lead their horses. Seeing this scene, Sun Qilang had long forgotten that he was a general, and felt that he had completely turned into a beast surrounded by people on the hunting ground.He was about to run to the horse to lead the horse away, when he saw several Tokugawa Ieyasu soldiers rushing out of the woods, he turned around quickly.He ran aimlessly in the area on foot.During this period he gave only one order.He shouted repeatedly: "Call me Jiubei, call me Jiubei." Jiubei is the vanguard captain of this rear guard, Tanaka Yoshimasa.Yoshimasa is from Omi, he was born in the army, served under several generals, and was later appreciated by Hideyoshi. He is currently the captain of Sun Qilang's army, and he is quite famous.In this chaos, only a group of troops led by him did not flee, and were fighting the enemy to the death on the spot to block the enemy's attack. "What's the matter?" Jizheng was puzzled, and withdrew from the defense line and returned to Sun Qilang.At this time, Sun Qilang shouted to him: "Go and ask Shengjin and Musashi for help, and ask them to come to the rescue!" After hearing this, Ji Zheng was dumbfounded.The general obviously has a commanding soldier who is responsible for the task of passing orders, how can he call back the captain of the vanguard who is resisting the enemy on the front line and let him pass the order? Moreover, the order was wrong.The current chaos should be completely stopped by the rearguard troops, and someone should be sent to call the vanguard troops who are several miles away. The valley was broken by the enemy one by one.Due to the above three reasons, Jizheng refused to carry out Sun Qilang's order.However, Sun Qilang yelled like crazy: "You don't even listen to my commander's order? I'll kill you!" For this reason, Ji Zheng had to go alone to deliver the order.Yoshimasa stepped up his horse and drove for an hour, finally caught up with Hori Hidemasa, and reported to him the general collapse of the imperial army.Unexpectedly, Hori Hidemasa yelled at him in front of everyone: "Jiubi, you are not an orderly soldier, but a general with a heavy responsibility under General Miyoshi! I think you must have escaped out of greed for life and fear of death! " Yoshimasa blushed from being scolded, and left in front of Hori Hidemasa resentfully.As he left the battlefield, he thought to himself, "This three-good general won't be very successful in the future." Jizheng saw through Sun Qilang, left him after the battle, and became a ronin. Here is an explanation.This Yoshimasa was later introduced by fellow villager Ishida Mitsunari and became Hideyoshi's direct subordinate.Hideyoshi appreciated his talent very much and gave him a fief of 100,000 stones.In the subsequent Battle of Sekigahara, Yoshiseibu was on Ieyasu's side.After the war, Ieyasu gave him a fief of more than 300,000 shi in Yanagawa, Chikugo. After Jizheng went to deliver the order, Sun Qilang's troops were routed, and everyone was running for their lives on foot.Sun Qilang is no exception.He was running away while using his brain.He threw away Tang Guan's helmet, the golden horse mark on the banner, and the cape made of bird feathers, all these symbols of heroes.He ran alone.In this way, the enemy will regard him as an ordinary soldier.At this moment, Ke'er turned the small flag with the pattern of cutting bamboo inserted on the armor slightly to the side, raised his whip to urge his Qianli horse, and fled leisurely in front of Sun Qilang .Ke'er is from Minong, he is good at wielding a long spear, and his spear skills are superb, no one can match him.In order to train Sun Qilang, Hideyoshi deliberately arranged many generals like Ke Er who are good at fighting by his side.After all, Ke'er is a battle-tested character, and he is very skilled in escaping. "Cai Zang, Cai Zang!" Sun Qilang shouted his name loudly while chasing after him.From Sun Qilang's point of view, Ke'er is not needed now, all he wants is the horse he is riding. "Lend me your horse!" Hearing what Sun Qilang said, Ke'er turned around and gave Sun Qilang a look, and then replied, "Do you want to borrow an umbrella when it's raining?" After speaking, he walked away.This is a complaining sentence, which means: when it rains, you need an umbrella, and when you retreat, you need a horse. How can you borrow someone casually?Keer Caizang was originally a member of Saito of Mino, and later defected to Oda Nobunaga in Owari. He is a battle-tested general.Witnessing such a foolish rout, he must have seen through what his master would do in the future.In fact, this person later resigned and returned to his hometown and became a subordinate of Masanori Fukushima. At this moment, Kinoshita Toshiro, one of Sun Qilang's team generals, jumped off his horse and gave up his mount to Sun Qilang.He himself stood still on foot, and pulled out the small flag that had been stuck on the armor as an emblem and planted it on the ground, faced the swarming enemies, and finally died in battle.His younger brother Toshima Kinoshita, who served as Zhou's defense, also died on foot in order to support him.After Sun Qilang got on his horse, he fled without even looking back.Therefore, he didn't even know about the sacrifice of Brother Kinoshita. The rout of the rear guard immediately spread to the front team.The vanguard captain of this guerrilla force, Ikeda Katsuri, and his son Ikeda Nosuke died in battle at the same time.Mori Changke, known as the famous general, also fell into the siege of the enemy, was shot by the enemy with a musket, and fell off his horse to death.In short, this guerrilla force can be said to have been completely overthrown. After the defeat in the Nagakute War, Hideyoshi used diplomatic means to isolate Ieyasu, and then negotiated peace with Ieyasu, and finally made him surrender and became a prince of the Toyotomi family.But for Ieyasu, the victory in this battle was the most glorious page in his personal history and became a symbol of his prestige.Because of this, Hideyoshi has always been polite to him, and after Hideyoshi's death, he became the person everyone expected.If Sun Qilang did not lose the battle, but Hideyoshi won, and Ieyasu was defeated and killed in battle, then Hideyoshi's curse would have been eliminated at this time.Hideyoshi knows this better than anyone else. However, Sun Qilang did not understand these principles.After he fled back, he sent someone to see Hideyoshi and said, "Please send another general." Sun Qilang thinks.The Kinoshita brothers are dead, and someone needs to replace them. I hope Hideyoshi will transfer him from the generals around him.He even named dignitaries by name.He wants the famous Ikeda supervisor who is both brave and brave.That tone was like changing something. "are you human?" Hideyoshi first became furious at the messenger Ichiyanagi Ichisuke (later serving as Izu Mamoru) sent by Sun Qilang to convey the message.He even said: "I will behead you first, and then I will tell Sun Qilang to commit seppuku." Seeing the Kinoshita brothers die in battle but not rescued, he escaped from the battlefield by himself barefoot, and even the famous generals Morinaga Ke and Ikeda Katsuki entered the battle. Both father and son died in battle.Committing such a heinous crime, but still being shameless, saying that he wants to change people as soon as he fled back to the battlefield, what kind of heart does this have! "Is that kid really a fool?" The fact that Sun Qilang was a fool made Hideyoshi even more gloomy than this defeat.Hideyoshi has been thinking about a question for a long time: why are relatives who are ready to entrust their careers so imbecile?His limited relatives, except for his younger brother Xiuchang, are either mentally retarded or stubborn.Looking at the relatives of the wife, there are no decent talents among young people in their twenties.Originally, I thought Sun Qilang would be okay, and I had certain expectations for him.Now it seems that it is not easy to count on his talents.And judging from his cruel character and hasty actions, even if he is allowed to take over his class, the world probably won't follow him.Hideyoshi fully understands that if no one follows, it will be difficult to keep the throne of power even for a day.For Hideyoshi, however, he had no other choice.The only way is to find ways to cultivate this young man into a person with the sentiment and state of mind of ordinary people, and shape him into a successor who is reluctantly admired by others.Other than that, there is no other way. "There is really no way." Until the end of the war, Hideyoshi kept the matter down and did not deal with it.After the war came to an end, one day Hideyoshi suddenly called his secretary and asked him to prepare a pen and paper, as if Sun Qilang's hideous face with large pores was right in front of him, and began dictating in a reprimanding tone.This letter entered the topic at the beginning, and the lines were full of scolding voices of "you thing". You usually rely on being my Hideyoshi's nephew, so you are very rude in your dealings with others.It just doesn't make sense. You have miscalculated.On the contrary, you should have the determination to let others praise you when they mention it, and feel You are truly my nephew, Hideyoshi. From now on I will never forgive you again.Sometimes I even want to put you to death.but i feel sorry for you It is with compassion that I have decided to write this letter to you.If you can correct your evil ways and start a new life in the future, I will still I will try my best to cultivate and promote you. Take this battle as an example, I sent Kinoshita brothers to help you, but you refused to save them.For this, you Should have felt guilty.Unexpectedly, you were indifferent.Instead, he sent Yiliu City Assistant to ask for Ikeda Supervisor.in others In front of you, you should have cherished your own face, but unexpectedly you asked him to ask me for someone else.your messenger Also a complete idiot.For a moment I thought about killing him.In short, you must be sensible in the future.if possible Learn well, let people praise you as worthy of being my Hideyoshi's nephew, and that will satisfy me more than anything else. As long as you can change course, any country can give it to you.However, if it is still as unclear as it is now Reasonable, stupid and ignorant, even if I spare your life this time, I will still punish you severely in the future, because it concerns my face son.I, Hideyoshi, don't like killing people, but sending you to other countries as a vassal like this would embarrass me even more. At that time, I don't need others, I will kill you myself. This is a veritable reprimand letter, the same thing, repeated tirelessly.In the fifth paragraph of this letter, Hideyoshi used the phrase "you are quite clever and smart" to comment on Sun Qilang's character.A young man of noble birth would be offended if he were said to be "quite dexterous and clever."However, from Hideyoshi's point of view, speaking to this extent is already the highest compliment to Sun Qilang.The letter went on to say: It is for this reason that I appreciate you and originally intended you to take my place.like your present Virtue is simply not acceptable.I even thought to myself, maybe it's because God doesn't let me, Hideyoshi, be named in future generations. Ask me to quit cigarettes.I am deeply saddened by this. In this way, the letter repeatedly devotes itself to denouncing the subject. But Sun Qilang didn't quite understand the intention of the letter.After he read the letter, he immediately said to the visitor: "Does it mean that I am not good at martial arts, and I am timid and afraid of death?" Present here are two messengers, one is Miyabe Zenshobo, and the other is Hachisuka Hikoemon (formerly known as Hachisuka Koroku).Sun Qilang's superficial and rough comprehension made them both dumbfounded.After a moment of silence, they said, "No, that's not the case." The two messengers carefully explained Hideyoshi's true meaning to Sun Qilang. "I know." Sun Qilang said loudly.This young man still has the ability to read letters of this level.However, there is one thing Sun Qilang can't understand, that is why Hideyoshi is angry.Sun Qilang thought that although there were four or five places in the letter that mentioned spiritual things, the real intention was probably to blame him for his lack of martial arts and cowardice.It must be so.If this is the case, then Hideyoshi obviously underestimated me, Sun Qilang, and misjudged me.This is really unexpected! "I was originally a brave person." Sun Qilang has long had such a belief.Rather, he had long formed a habit of believing himself to be valiant.The belief formed by repeated repetitions like chanting sutras covered his mind with a thin film.It was with the support of this film that Sun Qilang dared to ride on a horse and serve as a general of the first army.At this time, Sun Qilang was thinking secretly: "Hideyoshi doesn't know that I am brave. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military strategists. He only lost one battle, so he shouldn't be blamed like this." But after all, he couldn't say these words out of his mouth.He was silent for a long time, and then asked the two messengers in a low voice, "What should I do in the future?" Sun Qilang thought, the two visitors are sophisticated people, they must know how to appease Hideyoshi's anger and make him change his view of himself. "Yes, this is indeed a problem. We think that from now on, you should follow the orders of the veterans around you in your every move." The two messengers said to Sun Qilang.
