Chapter 1191 Damn Qin!
Needless to say how elite the red reserve team is, Kamihara Komasa is very clear.

What a shame that the Qin army's hands and feet caused the red reserve team to lose 110 and seven people without going through the battle.

"What should we do now?"

Kanbara Komasa asked Ii Naomasa about his plans.

"Let's remove the obstacles at the entrance of the mine and the traps in the mine for the time being, and resume mining no matter what. Before the situation changes, we can mine as much as we can. Toyotomi may respond soon. We have to Speed ​​up, as for Qin Jun..."

Naomasa Ii frowned: "If they leave all the things left behind, I will still doubt their intentions, but they are burning the advantaged migration population, blocking and trapping, I doubt them Do you feel that you will not come back again, so you vent your anger at the last moment."

Kanbara Komasa said, "Are you suspecting that Qin Jun is really leaving this time and doesn't plan to come back?"

"Otherwise, why would they do such an absolute thing? Isn't this a strange thing?"

Ii Naomasa asked back.

Kanbara Komasa thought about it, and felt right.

"That's right, if they still want to come back, they won't do it so badly, that is to say, they really don't plan to come back?"

Jingyi Naomasa said: "Explain this possibility to the lord first, and see the judgment of the lord. Let's clean up what needs to be cleaned up here, and prepare what needs to be prepared. As for the rest, I think we can wait for it." Your lord's order."

Kanbara Komasa has no objection to this.

So the two began to act. Kanbara Yasumasa led troops to repair the defenses, felled trees to build camps, and guarded against possible attacks by Toyotomi by the way, while Ii Naomasa led soldiers and miners to carefully clear obstacles.

But after cleaning up, Ii Naomasa discovered that things were not as simple as he imagined. There was more than one trap, some had two, some had three, some even had more, but some had none.

For example, in a certain mine, as soon as a certain stone blocking the door was removed, more than a dozen crossbow arrows flew out instantly, killing six miners in one go.

There is also a mine with no mechanism at the entrance, and there is no mechanism after walking more than ten meters, but when going deep into the cave, the crossbow mechanism was triggered, three soldiers and five miners died inside, and the rest fled in a panic come out.

There is also a mine, which is weird. There is no mechanism from the entrance to the place where the mine is mined, but it took them a whole day to explore this mine, and they were cautious at every step, and they didn't dare to rush forward. .

There are also many rats in the mines.

There are also mines where a lot of cats are put.

Some mines were actually put into snakes.

All in all, there are new surprises in every hole. Naomasa Ii was almost so nervous that he didn’t know what to expect in the next mine.

Obviously, this is where Qin Jun's sinister intentions lie. Even if they get the silver mountain, they can't mine it immediately. This feeling is really aggrieved.

In the end, Naomasa Ii had no choice but to get a Numa who couldn't ride from the army, rushed to the entrance of the cave, stabbed it in the buttocks, scolded and screamed and ran in madly, and they used this method to break the mechanism in the cave. It also has some effect.

But the horse was too expensive, and he couldn't bear it, so he had to ask people to find dogs or pigs, let them break the trap, and die instead.

On the other hand, Kanbara Kosei's progress is not going well. There are too many destroyed places, too many polluted water sources and wells, so that the troops under his command don't know how to get water, and they don't know whether they will drink dirty water and thus Get ill.

Drinking water became a problem now, and Kanbara Komasa had to order a large number of troops to search for water sources in the south of Anyun Country, and stayed behind to lead troops to build fortifications.

Ieyasu Tokugawa thought that he would soon be able to resume the production of Silver Mine, and get a large amount of silver mines and build fortifications before the situation changed, but he realized that things were not that simple after receiving the report from Naomasa Ii.

Qin Jun's calculations were far beyond his imagination.

He doesn't know when it will be just to resume production. He must rush to transport reliable miners to speed up the process. At the same time, the Qin army wreak havoc on Shi Jianguo, pollute the water source, etc., seriously limiting the viability of the army.

Damn Qin!
Tokugawa Ieyasu gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Tokugawa Ieyasu also gradually became inclined to the conjecture raised by Naomasa Ii, because his spies told him that after the Qin army retreated, the troops were divided into two groups, all the way to Zhejiang and Fujian, where the soldiers landed and all the way to Tianjin. Go in the direction and land there.

But the Qin army's navy is too powerful and patrols everywhere. He dare not get too close, otherwise he will be discovered and killed.

Tokugawa Ieyasu did not criticize his spies, but further guessed the purpose of the Qin army. After receiving the report from Ii Naomasa, he found that this possibility was even higher.

He began to mobilize part of the garrison troops to advance to Zhou Fangguo and gather together, secretly making his own small calculations.

On the other hand, after Toyotomi Hideji inquired about the complete information on the retreat of the Qin army, he couldn't bear his temper, and at the same time, he couldn't bear the demands of his generals. After discussing with Ishida Mitsunari, Ishida Mitsunari made a compromise.

So Toyotomi Hideji gave an order to allow Asano Yukunaga to lead an army of [-] to the Bingo country, always be on guard against the changes in Ishimi and Anyun, and to counterattack when necessary, but without the order of Toyotomi Hideji, he must not take the initiative attack.

Asano Yukunaga was very happy, and after receiving the order, he ordered troops to go out. Along the way, he also learned the news of the retreat of the Qin army and the occupation of Ishimi by the Tokugawa army. Backup country.

Obviously, the possibility of Asano Yukinaga obeying the order is not high, but Toyotomi Hideji has no good way to restrain him, so he can only prepare for the follow-up war.

Now that the possibility of Qin Jun's fraud is getting lower and lower, and the idea of ​​​​the main battle in his heart is getting higher and higher.

Ishida Mitsunari still remembered what Maeda Toshiie said before his death, and was full of vigilance towards the Qin army, and suggested that Toyotomi Hideji conduct diplomacy with the Tokugawa clan before acting, and it is better to act cautiously in case of emergency.

Toyotomi Hideji obviously felt that it was very unpleasant to do this, and it seemed ridiculous no matter how he heard it, joining forces with enemies who had blood feuds.

However, Ishida Mitsunari repeatedly pleaded, and Toyotomi Hideji simply sent Ishida Mitsunari as an envoy to conduct diplomacy with the Tokugawa clan.

Ishida Mitsunari did not refuse, he knew that the only suitable candidate was himself.

However, he was still worried that his absence from the center would not affect Toyotomi Hideji, so he asked some civil servants who had made friends with him to keep Toyotomi Hideji calm when he was away.

After that, he felt that such entrustment didn't seem to work, so he went to Ukita Hide's house again.
