When Oda Nobunaga escaped from the bastion west of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle in embarrassment, the only ones left with him were a dozen horsemen who had gathered on the way to escape. He was mixed in with the broken troops and escaped all the way north. Yodogawa happened to encounter a 50,000-strong army led by Hideyoshi Hashiba just outside Takaki Castle. After the Hashiba army saw Oda Nobunaga himself, there was a commotion. Apparently, they did not expect that Oda Nobunaga would end up in such an embarrassing end.
"This monkey..." Seeing that Hashiba Hideyoshi did not come out to greet him, Oda Nobunaga cursed angrily. Without saying a word, he rode his horse and rushed towards Hashiba Hideyoshi's military formation. Ignoring the obstruction of Hashiba's family guards, Oda Nobunaga rushed directly to Hashiba Hideyoshi's army. Under the seal of Qiancheng Gourd Horse, Oda Nobunaga recognized Hashiba Hideyoshi on the horse at a glance, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You stinky monkey! You only arrived after the decisive battle was over? Are you looking for death?"
"Ah?" Hideyoshi pretended to be surprised and clicked his tongue repeatedly, "My lord, did you get rid of the Red Leaf Army so quickly? The Red Leaf Army usually boasts so much that it can't even hold on for half a day?"
"You bitch and monkey..." Oda Nobunaga was provoked by Hideyoshi Hashiba so much that his voice trembled. He slapped Hideyoshi hard on the face and yelled at the same time, "Hurry up to Yu Jinjun, believe it or not." I'm going to kill you now?"
"March? Why are we still marching?" Hashiba Hideyoshi pulled back the reins of his horse with a playful smile, avoiding Oda Nobunaga's slap, and asked knowingly, "Haven't all the Red Leaf Army been eliminated?"
"Smelly monkey, are you tired of living? How dare you make fun of me like this?" Oda Nobunaga was furious. He drew the knife directly from his waist and was about to chop Hashiba Hideyoshi's neck. Who would have thought that before he could Taking action, Hashiba Hideyoshi had already stabbed Oda Nobunaga into Oda Nobunaga's abdomen. Oda Nobunaga only felt a chill in his waist and abdomen, and then lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the fatal wound on his abdomen.
Hashiba Hideyoshi twisted his ribs and watched with satisfaction as blood clots poured out of Oda Nobunaga's mouth. Then he laughed loudly and said: "Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga, who do you think you are? Even now, you are still Dare you yell at me? I've already been unhappy with you, go to hell!"
Hashiba Hideyoshi fiercely pulled out the ribs from Oda Nobunaga's belly, and watched Oda Nobunaga fall off his horse, laughing with satisfaction. And around Oda Nobunaga, there were more than a dozen horsemen who followed him. , were immediately strangled by the soldiers of the Hashiba family.
"Let the news go out and say that the brutal murderer Oda Nobunaga has been captured by our Hashiba family! The Hashiba family must open their eyes for justice and bring order to the world!" Hideyoshi excitedly ordered to the messengers, "March to Kinki immediately! While both the Uaki family and the Oda family are suffering losses, and while the other daimyo families participating in the war are severely weakened, take advantage of the empty Yamashiro country, Yamato country, Omi country, and Ise country in the Oda family's territory. Take down both Mino Country and Owari Country! Take down all the terra nullius on Hokuriku Road and Higashiyama Road too!"
"Yes!" The generals of the Yushiba family responded eagerly, and immediately led the army to the east.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was already riding his horse and was about to move forward, but he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something. He turned over and dismounted, took off one of the cloth shoes he was wearing, and stuffed it into his still-still-dead body. Oda Nobunaga spat hard on his chest. Then the army moved forward slowly. The horseshoes of countless Hashiba family cavalry stepped on Oda Nobunaga's body until the final fatal kick crushed him. 's neck.

When the Yushiba army marched into the Oda family territory in a mighty manner, Yu Qiupei hurriedly turned back and found Imagawa Kaede who was leading the volunteers.
"I didn't have time to say it just now!" Yu Qiuping pulled Imagawa Feng's reins on his horse and whispered excitedly, "Feng'er! Did you know! His Highness the Governor is still alive! Still alive!"
Imagawa Feng showed a surprised look, but the question he asked was very different from what Yu Qiuping expected.
"How did Ping know?"
"Have you known this for a long time?" Yu Qiuping looked even more surprised than Imagawa Kaede at the moment, "How did Feng'er know?"
"That time you and I went back to your former residence in Kitayama, Junfu. When we saw the decoration in the house, we understood everything... Every time Jiayan came to see me and Jiaci in the hut, he would find Jiaci unsavory and decorate the house himself.
How to clean it up." Imagawa Kaede recalled the past, showing a nostalgic and somewhat wistful look.
"Then why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you let me continue to investigate?"
"I feel... Jia Yan's original arrangement may have been to get rid of his secular identity. He hasn't contacted us for so many years, so he probably doesn't want to have any contact with us. In that case, don't bother me.
." Imagawa Kaede sighed, then shook his head slightly.
At this moment, a guard suddenly rode up and reported to Yu Qiuping: "Your Highness, madam, a strange middle-aged man sent the second young master, the eldest princess and Miss Ye Gu back, and asked to see your highness by name.
"
"Go." Imagawa Kaede smiled complainingly, and then pushed Yu Qiuping, "When a father finally comes back, the first thing he wants to see is not his biological daughter, but you, his son-in-law."
"Maybe he's afraid that his appearance will scare you." Yu Qiuping muttered to himself, and then rode away. When he arrived, he found Imagawa Yoshimoto waiting for him by the official road at the foot of the east mountain of Maple Leaf Mountain City.
"You did it, Yu Qiu." Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at Yu Qiuping, who was rushing over after a long journey, and congratulated with a smile, "It's really amazing."
"It's not over yet." Yu Qiuping himself was not too happy. "More than half of the Hongye Army suffered casualties in this battle. Counting the previous losses under Takamatsu Castle in Beichung, it can be said that they have been severely injured. Not a few
Years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover. At this critical moment of competing for the world, there is probably nothing much that can be done. The Hashiba family who has made a profit will suppress the world. Isn't this still on the track of history? "
"If you want to end the cycle of historical tragedies and create a long-lasting peace and prosperity, you can only choose to let the Yuqiu family unify the world by themselves." Yu Qiuping's eyes have never been so determined, and his tone is unwavering, "That might still be possible.
It takes ten years.”
"It's like a different person." Imagawa Yoshimoto obviously noticed the change in Yu Qiuping, and nodded with a smile, "But did you forget something?"
"What's going on?" Yu Qiuping asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"Where's the betrothal gift?" Imagawa Yoshimoto spread his hands and teased with a smile.
"Ah?" Yu Qiuping was even more confused.
"When I gave you the marriage, didn't I ask you to give the world to the Imagawa family as a betrothal gift for marrying Feng'er?" Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to be very satisfied with the joke he made, and burst out laughing, only to realize that
In front of him, Yu Qiuping frowned and was thinking about this matter seriously.
"What? Yuqiu? Do you really want to give the world to the Imagawa family?" Imagawa Yoshimoto shook his head repeatedly and waved his hands in a evasive manner, "That's all, I'm not interested at all. It's really troublesome."
"Then there are other ways." Now it was Yu Qiuping's turn to tease him in a joking tone, "I just don't know what His Majesty the Governor of the House would like?"

On June 18, the tenth year of Tensho (1582), the Battle of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, the most important battle in Japanese history and one of the most important battles in world history, finally came to an end after many days. Oda Nobunaga
Commander's Four
An army of more than 100,000 people was defeated by the Hongye Army with less than one-sixth of its strength, shocking the world. When Yu Qiupei, known as the benevolent man in the world, appeared on the battlefield, the treacherous and cruel Oda Nobunaga immediately betrayed his relatives and abandoned his relatives. Countless daimyo
The samurai of the Oda family gave up the fight and even joined Amakiupei's side. This allusion has been used in countless fables and teaching materials in later generations, and has become a favorite story. And Amakiupei's riding alone into the formation has become a favorite story.
The epic bravery has been praised by future generations. The process of the Battle of Maple Leaf Mountain City is really legendary. If it were not supported by detailed historical data, many historians would find it difficult to believe that such an epic battle actually existed.
of.
The most incomprehensible thing among the contemporaries and future generations is the miraculous return of Yu Qiupei as king. Why did Yu Qiupei, who had not been heard from for more than ten days after the levee burst at Takamatsu Castle in Bitchu, suddenly appear on the east mountain of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle?
What? This point cannot be explained so far. History cannot provide any hypothesis that can withstand scrutiny, and archeology has not contributed meaningful evidence. It is impossible for normal people to survive the flood for more than ten days. Since Yu Qiuping did not
Death means that he must have been saved a few days after the flood broke out - then why didn't he send out the news that he was still alive in time?
As a result, various weird theories have arisen and have been widely discussed by people after dinner. The most popular theory is that the real Yu Qiuping is actually dead, and it was Imagawa Kaede who asked Yu Qiuping's Kagemusha to play the role when the army was about to be defeated.
Yu Qiuping completed this counterattack that shocked the world; one theory that is closer to the truth is that Yu Qiuping was rescued by fishermen on Shikoku Island from the flood. He was unconscious for many days before he hurried back to Maple Leaf Mountain City. After arriving at the battlefield
He directly joined the battle - but the fatal flaw of this statement is that there is no way to explain why Yu Qiuping did not notify other members of the Yu Qiu family in advance after waking up; there is also a more bizarre statement that Yu Qiuping has mastered the mysterious
The super power is that you can teleport from the bottom of the sea to Maple Leaf Mountain. Of course, this kind of violation of scientific statement can only make people laugh, and even older children will not believe it.
After Oda Nobunaga was defeated in the Battle of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, he fled north in a hurry. He originally wanted to seek help from Hashiba Hideyoshi, but was directly killed by Hideyoshi. He was trampled to death by the rebel army. His flesh and blood were so blurred that it was difficult to recognize. This is how a great hero of a generation died.
The embarrassment is caused by retribution. If you do too much injustice, you will die.
After that, Hashiba Hideyoshi immediately marched into Kinki and Ono, seizing a large area of ​​​​the former Oda family's old leader who was empty due to the death of Oda Nobunaga and the defeat of the Oda family. The important ministers in the Oda family were all because of the Maple Leaf Mountain Castle.
The losses in the battle were considerable, and the Tokoku daimyo headed by Tokugawa Ieyasu lost the opportunity to significantly expand their territory by taking advantage of the decline of the Oda family because they were far away from the territory. In order to stabilize the situation, the Amaki family sent the Momiji Fleet to guard Kanto.
The daimyo were sent back to their territory. Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately made up for it and captured the Kanto territory that had been left without a leader after Oda Nobutada's death. At the same time, the Uaki family also supported Akechi Mitsuhide's youngest son Yuanfu to inherit the territory and named him Akechi Mitsuhei.
The word "平" is still placed at the bottom, expressing the Yuqiu family's respect for Akechi Mitsuhide.
At the same time, Hashiba Hideyoshi finally showed his fangs to his former comrades of the Oda family, stopping them in Kinki and not allowing them to return to their old territories. At this time, Oda Nobuo, who hurried from the sea outside Sanin Road,
, Oda Nobutaka arrived at Wakasa, Niwa Nagahide's territory, and called on the old ministers of the Oda family to fight against Hashiba Hideyoshi. Tokaido's Tokugawa Ieyasu also raised troops to contain Hashiba Hideyoshi. History once again slowly moved towards the original track.
Go, a new battle begins.

"However, this is the end of Yu Qiuping's story. It can be considered a good ending." Yu Qiuping said to Imagawa Yoshimoto with a smile.
"After that, it will be handed over to Imagawa Ujihira."
