Chapter 1598: Blood Arrow Sect Recruits New Members

Minamoto Nagamasa was completely panicked.

It wasn't like he hadn't thought about the fact that they would be surrounded.

But he didn't expect this day would come so soon.

Less than ten days after Kitago Castle fell into the hands of the enemy, Susa Castle was surrounded on three sides.

Only the south is left!

Surrounded on three sides and missing one!

The enemy must have deliberately opened the passage to the south!

The enemy wants them to abandon Susa Castle and flee south!

The enemy wanted to undermine their will to defend Susa Castle and capture it without bloodshed!

Damn Yunzheng!

It’s quite a beautiful thought!

Give up Susa Castle?

How could he give up Susano Castle?

Once he gave up Susano and fled to the south, even if Yun Zheng retreated, he would lose everything.

By then, he can only become a pawn of those lords in the south!

He is Minamoto Nagamasa, the strongest man in Yu Country!

How could he be driven by those weak lords?

Minamoto Nagamasa clenched his fists tightly and kept roaring in his heart.

"Sir, now is not the time to be angry. Let's think of a solution quickly!"

Yaliang looked at Minamoto Nagamasa in panic, also confused.

"Countermeasures? What countermeasures can we have now?"

Minamoto no Nagamasa stood up suddenly and roared murderously: "Either we fight the enemy to the death! Or we abandon Susa Castle and flee to the south!"

It's already this late, what countermeasures are we still talking about?

If he didn't want to give up the foundation he had worked so hard to build, he had no choice but to fight the enemy to the death.

Defeat the strong enemy with the power of weakness!

Put yourself to death and survive!

"My Lord, are you going to defend Susanoo to the death?"

Yaliang had already guessed Minamoto Nagamasa's decision.

Based on his understanding of Minamoto no Nagamasa, Minamoto no Nagamasa would never give up Susa Castle.

"It's not about defending, it's about attacking!"

A cold light flashed in Minamoto Nagamasa's eyes.

Perhaps it was a real life-and-death moment, the heroic aura of Minamoto Nagamasa suddenly erupted.

"What, attack?"

Yaliang looked at Minamoto Nagamasa in astonishment.

At this time, they are actually going to take the initiative to attack?

Is he crazy?

"Yes, attack!"

Minamoto Nagamasa's eyes were determined, and he growled murderously, "The enemy has siege weapons. If we just keep defending, we will be trapped in Susano Castle and won't even have a chance to fight back!"

If you don't attack, you will die!

Only by attacking can we find a glimmer of hope!

He believed that Yun Zheng would never have thought that they would dare to take the initiative to attack at this time!

Listening to Minamoto Nagamasa's words, Yaliang fell silent.

Although Minamoto no Nagamasa seems to be crazy, it does make sense.

They neither fled to the south nor took the initiative to attack.

Hiding in Susa Castle means waiting for death!

If the enemy continues to fight with them and their food and grass in the city run out, they will have no choice but to take the initiative to attack.

"Which direction do you want to attack, sir?"

Yaliang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is it the north?"

At sea, they have no advantage.

To the east is Daqian’s main force.

It seems that the only option is to fight Tanaka Nobuyuki.

"Don't hit Tanaka Nobu first!"

Yuan Changzheng quickly regained his sanity, "Tanaka Xin and I are both from Yu Country. If we can make good use of Tanaka Xin, we may be able to inflict heavy damage to Yun Zheng!"

use?

Yaliang thought for a moment and soon understood what Minamoto Nagamasa meant. "Sir, do you want to persuade Tanaka Nobu to surrender? Let him become our insider and attack the main force of Daqian with us?"

"Correct!"

Minamoto Nagamasa nodded: "This is our chance!"

He still looks down on Tanaka Nobuyuki.

But this did not stop him from wanting to use Tanaka Nobuyuki.

Yaliang asked, "How do you plan to persuade Tanaka Nobu to surrender?"

Yun Zheng allowed Tanaka Nobu to lead a large army alone, which must mean he trusted him a lot.

Moreover, Yun Zheng must have given enough benefits to Tanaka Nobuyuki to make him work so hard.

It may not be easy to make Tanaka Nobuyuki betray Yun Zheng and work for them!

After being asked this by Yaliang, Minamoto Nagamasa also fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Minamoto Nagamasa took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Apart from promising benefits and explaining the righteousness of the cause, how else can we persuade them to surrender?"

Hasn't this been the way of persuading surrender for thousands of years?

That's it, there's nothing he can do about it.

"I understand the righteousness, but how should I give this benefit?"

Ya Liang's face was full of bitterness. "At this time, what benefits can we give him? Can the benefits we give him be greater than those Yun Zheng gave him?"

Admittedly, Minamoto no Nagamasa had a good idea.

But this first step is fraught with difficulties.

At least, he didn't know what benefits they could use to impress Tanaka Nobuyuki.

If Yun Zheng promised him the position of leader, what benefits could they give him?

"This one……"

Yuan Changzheng was also a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "We can tell Tanaka Nobuyuki that as long as he defeats Yun Zheng with us, I can support him to become the leader of the country!"

"..."

Yaliang's face twitched slightly, "Sir, do you believe this yourself?"

This is not the way to fool a fool!

Yun Zheng can promise Tian Zhongxin the position of king, but they can’t!

Yun Zheng must be looking for someone to take charge of the Yu Kingdom for him. It is completely reasonable for Yun Zheng to promise Tian Zhongxin the position of the king.

But when they promised him the position of leader, they knew it was impossible.

Unless Tanaka Nobuyuki is stupid, there is no way he would believe such nonsense.

"Then what benefits should be granted to him?"

Minamoto Nagamasa asked Yaliang in a somewhat annoyed tone.

It is indeed not credible to promise him the position of leader.

But apart from this, he seemed to have no other benefits that could impress Tanaka Nobuyuki.

If you can't impress Tanaka Nobu, it would be a good idea to let someone contact him openly, so that Yun Zheng will become suspicious of Tanaka Nobu.

Faced with Minamoto Nagamasa's question, Yaliang fell silent.

"Maybe give him real money and hand over all of the South to him..."

After a long while, Yaliang finally spoke.

Of course, giving the entire south to Tanaka Nobuyuki would certainly not be that attractive.

But at least it sounds realistic!

This was the biggest benefit he could think of.

No matter how great the benefit is, it is obvious that they are deceiving Tanaka Nobuyuki.

Minamoto Nagamasa thought for a while, tacitly agreed with Yaliang's suggestion, and then asked: "Then who do you think should be sent to persuade Tanaka Nobuo to surrender?"

"Please let your Excellency decide on this matter."

Yaliang's heart was beating fast.

Could it be that Minamoto Nagamasa was going to give this task to him?

He actually didn't hold out much hope for this matter.

Anyone who goes to persuade Tanaka Nobuyuki to surrender will most likely end up dead.

Minamoto Nagamasa lowered his brows and thought for a while, then quickly made up his mind: "Let Hojo-kun go!"

He actually wanted to give this task to Yaliang.

However, he also knew that if he failed to persuade Tanaka Nobuyuki to surrender, most of the people who went to persuade him to surrender would most likely never return.

Yaliang is his top aide.

He still needs Yaliang to give him advice, and he definitely can't let Yaliang carry out this extremely dangerous mission.

After hearing what Minamoto Nagamasa said, Yaliang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the enemy's navy is still coming to our side, it means that our previous plan has failed. I don't know what the situation is with the navy..."

Upon hearing this, Minamoto Nagamasa fell silent.

We can’t win at sea, and we can’t win on land either.

He has been fighting for so many years, but he has never felt so desperate as he does now.

Just then, a guard came running in hurriedly.

"Your Excellency, Yun Zheng released a captive and ordered him to deliver something to Your Excellency..."

As he spoke, the guard raised the box in his hand high up.

Minamoto Nagamasa frowned slightly.

Yun Zheng sent something to himself?

What was the gift?

"open to take a look!"

Minamoto Nagamasa ordered the guards to open it.

The guard did not dare to delay and quickly opened the box.
