College Entrance Examination Failure Travels to 1931 and Strike Dongjing

Qi Jiming sent people to contact the enemy.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought he had guessed Ye Daofu's intentions, so he said to his men, "Ye Daofu has such a huge advantage, and he still sent people to negotiate with us. I think it is nine out of ten that he wants to persuade us to surrender."

A group of militants were very angry.

"General, we would rather die than obey!"

"Even if we fight to the last man, we will never surrender to them and will never be cowards!"

Several older conservatives had different opinions.

"It's too early to make a decision now. We can first contact them and find out what they want to do before making a decision. Negotiations can also delay the process."

"We pretended to agree to negotiate with him, but we had to stop fighting. This would also buy us more time."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi agreed with the conservatives' views and agreed to negotiate with Ye Daofu, but a two-day ceasefire was required.

Ye Daofu agreed very readily and asked the other party to pass the message back.

The place where the two sides negotiate is at the ruins of Dongjing, and each side can bring 20 people with them.

Qi Jiming said expressionlessly, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi will definitely use these two days to prepare and gather more people to defend us."

Ye Daofu raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing determination and confidence. He said with great dominance, "This is also part of my plan. No matter how many people Toyotomi Hideyoshi summons, it will not change the outcome. It will only lead to more people dying. Our soldiers are brave and fearless. We will definitely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Why should we be afraid of him sending more troops to defend?"

He knew very well that Toyotomi Hideyoshi would never easily agree to his conditions.

If he doesn't agree, I will beat him until he agrees to take the national treasure back first.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi received Ye Daofu's reply, he did not dare to delay and quickly reported the information to the emperor.

The King has lost his appetite recently and looks much more haggard. He hasn't had a good night's sleep since Ye Daofu's men attacked Dongjing.

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi, you did a great job and bought us two days."

"Negotiations will proceed as usual. You can test what they want and then delay as much as possible."

"I've already contacted the people from the Rice Empire. They've expressed their willingness to support us in our fight against Ye Daofu. They've already sent the First and Second Fleets to support us."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes lit up and a surge of joy surged in his heart. However, years of military service made him quickly suppress his emotions. He just straightened his back slightly and revealed a barely perceptible smile.

"Your Majesty, if we can get the support of the Rice Empire and combine our strength, we will be able to destroy Ye Daofu in no time!"

The king's voice was a little excited: "We are now cooperating with the Rice Empire, and we are using each other. He does not want to see Ye Daofu dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Our interests are the same!"

"You delay as much time as possible and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi hung up the phone, all the worries in his heart disappeared.

What he lacked most now was time, and Ye Daofu just gave him this opportunity, allowing him to see the hope of defeating Ye Daofu.

"I must take this opportunity to consolidate my defense."

During these two days, Toyotomi Hideyoshi built many defensive projects and dug many tunnels.

Ye Daofu was not idle either. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's retreat of 25 kilometers expanded his occupied area a lot, allowing him to accommodate more subordinates to fight.

On the agreed date, both sides met to negotiate at the ruins of Dongjing in the war zone.
