"Your Highness, the two of us are mainly responsible for pursuing Futian. They just need people to garrison other places. I wonder if we need to split up our forces?"
When Da Heyuan was about to leave, Suzuki told him what the painting meant. Even though they were the Fuso army fighting on the front line, there must be a group of people maintaining law and order in the rear. This guy also wanted to recommend a few people to Li Xiang.
"You don't have to worry about this. Fukuoka and Nagasaki are almost ready. The security forces are commanded by Watanabe Taro and Kato Jiro. You will focus on Fukuda."
Li Xiang didn't think about playing any tricks with them. The main reason was that both sides were not on the same level. Li Xiang could do whatever he wanted now. Being able to give you a bowl of rice and make you full was the greatest gift to you. As for other things, don't even think about it.
"I understand."
The two men bowed honestly in answer, then walked outside. They had to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit soldiers. Of course, they could not recruit soldiers from the common people because their strength was too weak. They both knew very well which soldiers were the strongest in Fuso in the past.
It seems that the country's military power may be divided into four parts in the future, and each of the four of them will have one part. Of course, Lord Suzuki has his own advantages, that is, this guy is more familiar with the whole country, so he will also have a share in the government.
As for Ohkawa Genzaburo, all he can do is improve the combat effectiveness of his army and make his army stronger than the other two guys. Then when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to do, he will let Ohkawa Genzaburo rush to the front.
Of course, there is a price to pay for being at the front, which is that your army's casualty rate is too high. However, Ohkawa Genzaburo doesn't care about these things. Who can guarantee that there will be no casualties in the army? As long as it can help him improve his position and leave a deep impression on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, these people will die.
"etc."
Seeing that Ohkawa Genzaburo was about to get on the horse, Suzuki pulled this guy back. After listening to what Li Xiang said just now, this guy also had some ideas in his mind. It would be better to communicate with Ohkawa Genzaburo. In the future, the Fuso court would regard the four of them as superiors.
"What else do you want?"
There was still hostility in Ohkawa Genzaburo's words, after all, the two of them had just been competing.
"Didn't you hear what His Highness said? They'll both join us in the future, and our power will dwindle even more. If you're not crazy, you should stand with me. We may argue on the surface, but we're actually one family in secret."
Suzuki Nakatasu looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he decided not to hide it anymore and just said it directly so as not to cause any misunderstandings. If it caused many misunderstandings, then there wouldn't even be time for negotiation. Without waiting for those two guys to gain a foothold in the capital, they would just start fighting.
"Can we two become one family? You know what kind of person you are. If we are to become one family, I think you'd better put all your strength into the court. As for the army below the court, why not leave it all to me? The two of us will cooperate with each other, one inside and one outside. These two idiots are not even worthy of carrying our shoes."
Ohkawa Genzaburo smiled and said that this guy usually seemed to be stupid, but he could see things very clearly at the critical moment. If Suzuki Chuuta did not hand over his army, then this alliance would be meaningless.
"If it were in the past, I wouldn't mind handing over the army to you, but in these troubled times, everyone knows the importance of the army. If I give it all to you, who will guarantee my safety? You'd better give up this unrealistic idea."
Lord Suzuki said with disgust, "This guy is really a big man. If I hand over the army to you, do you think you can survive? Can His Royal Highness let you live?"
"Then tell me how to unite. If you want me to listen to you, then I advise you to save your energy. There's no way I'll listen to you. If you don't give anything and let others run around for you, do you still think you're the original Fuso?"
Even in the original Fuso, Lord Suzuki had no way to do this. Although he was a central figure in the court, there were also the emperor and princes above him, so it was still very difficult for him to fool the generals leading troops outside.
"We can swap the numbers of our armies. I only need to command 10,000 elite soldiers, and I can give the rest to you. That way, you will be the strongest among the four of us. Plus, I will be cheering for you in the court. Together, the two of us can suppress them."
Suzuki knew that he had to make certain concessions and let the guy in front of him taste the sweetness. If there was no benefit, then don't even think about cooperating with such a guy. After all, they are short-sighted.
It was exactly as Suzuki thought. After hearing Suzuki's words, Ohkawa Genzaburo's eyes lit up. He originally had an army of only 15,000 people, but the old man in front of him had an army of 25,000 people. If he only retained 10,000 people, then he could have an army of 30,000 people and become the most powerful warlord in the entire Fuso.
If anything happens in Fuso at that time, won’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to rely on me?
"Are you serious?"
After Ohkawa Genzaburo calmed down, he immediately showed an attitude of distrust. After all, the old man in front of him was not a simple person.
"We must unite now. Do you think those two haven't united? Maybe they have already united a long time ago. So, we'd better not have any suspicions about this matter, otherwise it will not benefit either of us."
In order to survive and develop in this environment, both of you must work together. If you both suspect each other, don't expect this matter to be any good.
"I have no objection to this alliance, but you've always been full of schemes and intrigues. How can I trust you?"
Ohkawa Gensaburo knows that if he uses his brain, he is definitely not the opponent in front of him, so you have to give me a handle on your own initiative, otherwise the cooperation between us will never be possible, and in the end I will be sold out by you and help you count the money!
"Marriage."
Suzuki Nakata uttered two words...
