Kōgō Kenjin's eyes lit up, and he repeatedly asked, "What do you mean?"
Kanpuku Keijin said, "Minamoto Masayoshi believes that simply dragging Tokugawa Ienari down is not enough for us to win. The best method is to let him rot until he cannot rot any further, while we remain slightly stronger than him. This way, victory will be assured."
Kōgō Kenjin's anticipation grew even stronger.
According to the previous discussion between Kōgō Kenjin and Kanpuku Keijin, the best outcome at this point was to drag Tokugawa Ienari's faction down with them into a state of decay, and then, by relying on the title of King of Wa bestowed by the Great Ming Emperor, secure the throne, with plans to suppress Tokugawa Ienari slowly later.
Now, Minamoto Masayoshi claimed to have a way to be slightly stronger than Tokugawa Ienari?
It was important to note that sometimes being "slightly stronger" was not just a minor difference, especially in a collective decay. A slight advantage could very well determine the ultimate victor!
Under Kōgō Kenjin's expectant gaze, Kanpuku Keijin continued, "To deal with the leprosy on his side, Tokugawa Ienari needs to not only confine the patients but also gather a large number of physicians and medicine."
"We can't do anything about the physicians, but we can certainly tamper with the medicines. For example, we can have the Kōga or Yagyū people burn down their medicine warehouses."
"Without medicine, even if Tokugawa Ienari confines the patients and gathers doctors, he will be unable to resolve the leprosy."
At this point, Kanpuku Keijin became hesitant, "However, if we do this, while Tokugawa Ienari will certainly lose the chance to win, what about those leprosy patients..."
Kōgō Kenjin snorted, "A ruler must not be soft-hearted, especially at such a critical moment of life and death. A moment of your leniency could become a hidden danger that leads to the complete extinction of the Tennō lineage. Besides, compared to the succession of the Tennō lineage of Wa, what are a few lowly commoners? I believe that even if they knew, they would understand my actions."
Kanpuku Keijin bowed his head heavily and replied, "Hai, Keijin understands!"
Kōgō Kenjin then nodded, "This matter is entrusted to you. Arrange your men directly. I only want the final result."
Kanpuku Keijin continued, "Furthermore, another suggestion made by Minamoto Masayoshi, which I believe is the most important and reliable, is that we can draw a contingent of personnel from Tianzhu and Ousiman."
Kōgō Kenjin's eyes shone even brighter.
How many people did Wa have in Ousiman and Tianzhu?
There were about a hundred thousand, all of whom had been on the battlefield and seen blood. They had fought battles under the guidance of the Great Ming army.
Such an army would be insignificant in the Great Ming, but on the soil of Wa, this army was an invincible force!
