189. Retreat as advance

Everyone has their own personality, everyone has their own characteristics, some people succeed in their own personality, and some people's failure also lies in their own personality.

As the three most outstanding people in the Warring States Period in the Umida, Oda Nobunaga, Toyonaga Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, they all have their own distinct personality traits. This also runs through their journey of fighting for hegemony and becomes the biggest cornerstone of their success.

There is a joke, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu all want to make a parrot speak.

Oda Nobunaga's solution is: Say! If you don't say it, I'll kill you!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's method is: Say it! Tell me, I will give you a lot of benefits!

Tokugawa Ieyasu's solution is: Don't say it? Then I just wait until it speaks for itself.

This is exactly in line with the three stages of the Japan Warring States Period, and has become the supreme magic weapon for the three to face the situation.

The situation that Oda Nobunaga faced was that his country was weak and poor, with internal and external troubles, strong enemies were surrounded by enemies, and surrounded by enemies. This was the case when he was poor and weak, and the same was true after he became strong. Without the unparalleled momentum of madness, it was impossible to break out of the siege of Nobunaga, which was surrounded by all sides, and became the most famous name in the Warring States Period. It laid a solid foundation for the later ending of the separatist situation of heroes. His personality traits were quite similar to Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms.

The situation facing Toyonaga Hideyoshi is that after Oda Nobunaga's death, he became the actual successor of Oda Nobunaga. He had a low status but was in a high position. He had nothing to rely on his own interests and power struggles, so he could only rely on his unparalleled wisdom to advance and eventually unify Japan in form.

As for Tokugawa Ieyasu, he became friends with Oda Nobunaga when he was young and deeply realized the strength of his brother. So when he grew up, he formed an alliance with Oda Nobunaga to fight together and became Nobunaga's loyal younger brother. This was the first stage of Tokugawa Ieyasu's dormant.

After the death of Honnoji Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu believed that Toyonaga Hideyoshi's power was unparalleled in the world and he could not compete with him, so he was still essentially hidden behind the scenes. This was his second stage dormant.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, Tokugawa Ieyasu's strength was already the best in Japan after decades of dormancy. He finally suddenly rose up like a rattlesnake lying in the grass, and took control of the country's dominance in one fell swoop and created the Edo Shogunate - also known as the Tokugawa Shogunate.

In him, the essence of the word "gou" is fully reflected. His experience tells us very truthfully that only by staying alone can we enter the final circle; only by advanced final circles can we have the possibility of eating chicken! It is really a benefit to the country's life and death, so how can we avoid it because of good and bad luck...

And I came to Okazaki to convince this LYB, who has been living outside the circle, to join the battle circle and become a member of the Kung Gun team. To be honest, I don’t have much hope of success, but at least I can be sure that even if he doesn’t come, I will definitely fool my teammates to take a look first - this is the idea of ​​Tokugawa Ieyasu - the man who is the most capable of seducing in the Warring States Period in the United States.

I told Takahashi Shaoyun that I had a channel to get close to Tokugawa Ieyasu, but it was not a false statement. The channel was in my most loyal confidant, the Nine Ghost Masato.

Back then, Masato Kyugi was hunted down by his brother Kyugi Katsura, and had to escape to his mother's house, Iga Ninjas, and became an intern ninja. His master was a senior official under Tokugawa, a hereditary minister, Miyasuke Ishimatsu, one of the sixteen generals of Tokugawa. He was known as "Kehanzo" and "Miracle Hanzo" Hattori Masaen Hattori's second-generation leader, also known as Hattori Hanzo's legendary ninja!

Hattori Hanzo is quite optimistic about the potential of Kyuki Masatoki. When he was young, he made an evaluation that "this son can eventually become a top-notch man". This is an extremely rare evaluation.

Because among Japanese ninjas, the Shinin is mainly responsible for the specific actions, and all the things that are used to make swords and guns are subject to the Shinin. The number of this group accounts for about 90% of the total number of ninjas.

The Zhongnin is responsible for tactical command and is a middle-level person. He does not participate in decision-making and generally does not take action directly, but his skills are not too bad. They account for about eight or nine percent of the total number.

The Supreme Ninja is the core of the Ninja Group, belonging to the decision-maker and senior commander, and determines the strategic trends of the Ninja Group. Stay and stay and leave, and is for the actual mind.

Therefore, Hattori Hanzo's evaluation of Kyuki Masato was extremely high. Later, Kyuki Masato and I was fucked by me. Hattori Hanzo believed him many times and kept in touch with him. He had never been distant in his relationship. This time, our meeting with Tokugawa Ieyasu ended up on Hattori Hanzo.

When I went to Okazaki, I had to pass by Kumano. In order to avoid being ambushed, I simply brought my own Garen battle fleet. On the one hand, it demonstrated my strength, and on the other hand, it also added fire and instigated Tokugawa Ieyasu to conspire.

On the afternoon of the third day of going to sea, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we had already passed Kumano Beach and came to the coast of Okazaki. Out of careful consideration, I did not land immediately, but asked Jiugui Masato to take a few people to Okazaki first to find Hattori Hanzo. At the same time, I also asked Mo to lead a team to covertly support him to ensure that Jiugui Masato himself is safe.

As for how he found Hattori Hanzo, how to persuade Hattori Hanzo, and what channel did Hattori Hanzo handle Tokugawa Ieyasu, I don’t care. The news I got was that Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to meet me in the villa "Orange House" by the sea outside Okazaki Castle. The time was... tonight.

From Tokugawa Ieyasu's actions, I can deeply feel the contradiction in his heart. He wanted to see me because he knew that I had been working hard to defeat Hideyoshi Hashi; he didn't dare to see me because he still had no chance of confronting or even defeating Hideyoshi Hashi. Therefore, the choice of time and place is so conservative, cautious, and even... harsh.

When Jiugui Masayoshi saw me, he looked very guilty because he could deeply feel the other party's intrepidation - maybe this meeting was just a guise of answering the right person.

In fact, I understand Tokugawa Ieyasu's choice very well. I put myself in my shoes. As the most senior LYB in the world, if it suddenly becomes popular, it will make people doubt it.

But understanding is understanding, but I don’t plan to accept such an arrangement, so I ordered, “Rise the anchor! Let’s go!”

As the commander of the fleet, Arashi immediately asked, "Where are we going? Sir? Go back to Hakata?"

I shook my head and smiled, "No, don't go to Hakata, let's go to Edo!"

After hearing my words, the Nine Ghost Masato, who was originally lost in his mind, suddenly lit up his eyes. He instantly understood what I meant. Edo was the territory of the Hojo clan. Under the leadership of the previous head of the Hojo clan, the Hojo clan became one of the most powerful daimyo in Japan. Under the premise that the Uesugi and Takeda clans were declining one after another, the Hojo clan had become the biggest force behind Tokugawa Ieyasu!

It just so happened that I had a stronghold in Edo. Although it was not big, I was responsible for the trade of the entire Kanto and Northeast of Japan. I happened to go and have a look. As for Tokugawa Ieyasu, I would leave him alone as much as he treats me.

The reason I did this was to fully consider the relationship between the Hojo clan and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The Hojo clan was a nobleman and had been aristocrats for generations. He looked down on Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was born in a vulgar family, and he did not look down on the desolate Tokugawa Ieyasu. They have always regarded themselves as orthodox nobles, and their relationship with heroes can also be described as confusion.

In the Hojo dictionary, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal interests, only eternal respect and despise. So I went to Edo for a long time, which was enough to eat Tokugawa Ieyasu for a long time.

The fleet headed eastward, getting closer and closer to Yokohama, where I had been in my previous life for many years, and my breathing became faster and faster. I have fantasized countless times that if I return to Yokohama one day, can I see some shadows from my previous life!

This has become an indelible hope in my heart!

Finally arrived! When the fleet passed by Bajing Island, looking at the outline of the beach, the towering whale-like boulder, my tears couldn't stop gushing out! This is the place I am familiar with! I have lived for more than 20 years!

And that huge rock was the earliest trace of Japan I had in my memory when my father took me to smuggle here.

I'm back! Wiping away my tears, I shouted loudly in my heart, but there was an incomprehensible silence on my face.

Only Yuan, she seemed to feel the throbbing of my emotions, came to me quietly, stretched out her little hand, and silently held my hand...

That night, I sat on the beach of Yokohama Port, waiting for the sunrise regularly. In my previous life, how many times did I run here alone because of loneliness! When the red sun swells and brings red glow, I feel that the cold in my heart is melting little by little!

When I saw the familiar sun rise in a familiar position, I suddenly felt that I seemed to have recovered something from my previous life. It seemed to be a spirit, a temperament, a memory, and a nostalgia.

What lingers in my mind are the little bits and pieces of the previous life. The familiar wind, the familiar sunshine, the familiar waves, and the familiar smell. Close your eyes and lying on the beach, I seemed to feel that I had returned to the past, the unforgettable days.

I tried my best to suppress my feelings, because as a leader, I don’t want my emotions to affect the entire team too much, but I can feel deeply that Yuan seemed to understand my mood!

Her eyes were as warm as relatives, and the hands we held tightly never let go!

In fact, why do I really have to force what I have lost? Just like now, isn’t it very good? Maybe only by losing can you know how to cherish it. At the same time, it can only gain something if you lose it.

A person's life is like a circle. No matter how high it is, it is not the pinnacle, and no matter how low it is, it is not hell.

Cherish the present and cherish the possession!

In the morning light, I hugged Yuan tightly...
