On May 24, Kira Chisada and Tani Tadazumi led a force of 500 people to break away from the Toyonaga Kuzuhara front line and returned south to Oka Toyo Castle. Afterwards, Kira Chisada stayed at Oka Toyo Castle, but Tani Tadazumi suddenly led the 500 people and attacked again.
Southwest retreated and arrived at Urato Castle to garrison. This move was full of caution in the eyes of everyone in the Yuqiu family.
"The troops on the front line have been so exhausted, and Changzong and my subordinates actually transferred people back?" Yoshioka Shengzheng was furious when he heard about this, "Obviously they are guarding us! They heard that we wanted to withdraw
To Urado Castle, we transferred people there first!"
"Master Tani is a close associate of His Highness Chosougabu, and he must have gone there with a mission." Yunan Fukuzawa analyzed with the same solemn expression, "I guess His Highness Chosougabu has given him instructions and we must not be allowed to enter Urato.
Castle. The reason why His Highness Chosou sent Lord Tani to Urato Castle is to give us some clues so that we should not think about returning to Urato Castle."
"How did His Majesty, His Majesty the Chosong, explain this move to His Majesty?" Ogawa Yutong took a shallow sip of wine, raised his head and asked Yu Qiuping, "Didn't His Majesty go ask Lord Jiuwu?"
"His Royal Highness Chosonggabu said that he sent people back to guard in case the Awaji Navy and the Awa people landed in the hinterland of Tosa." Yu Qiuping laughed and cried and shook his head, "But overtly and covertly, he wanted to beware of us.
, even a fool can see it. It is estimated that many people in the Chozonggabu family are half-believed in Miyoshi Yixian's rumors, thinking that we have reached an agreement with the Miyoshi family, so they are guarding us and preventing us from retreating."
"Then Your Highness, what should we do?" Kobata Kesheng knew nothing about these political matters and asked in embarrassment, "Do we still want to evacuate Urato Castle?"
"It definitely won't work. Gu Zhongcheng won't let us enter the city." Yu Qiuping shook his head and rejected this suggestion.
"He dares?" Yoshioka Shengzheng slammed the table and said angrily, "His 500 people are not enough to fill our teeth! If he dares not to open the city, we will beat him in an hour
Come down!"
"Shengzheng, calm down." Yu Qiuping glared at Jigang Shengzheng with dissatisfaction, "We are allies with the Changzong family, how can we attack our allies? It's okay to withdraw from the ally's city, but attack the ally's city.
But it’s just a shame! Not to mention how much damage this will do to the reputation of the Yuqiu family, the lord will not let us go. After all, the Oda family and the Chosogabe family have concluded an alliance! How can we do it without authorization?
Break the alliance?"
"Your Highness, what should we do now? We can't retreat. Do we really risk being attacked from both sides and fight the Sanhao Army? We are just reinforcements. There is no need to risk our lives for the Changzong family.
Life?" Ogawa Youdong said anxiously after seeing Yu Qiuping's statement, "They are relying on natural dangers on the front line and spending it tepidly with the Mihaoshi family. Is it natural to ask us to fight for our lives?"
"What is the current trend of the Mihaoshi family?" Yu Qiuping did not answer Ogawa Yutong directly. He was quite hesitant in his heart, so he turned to Fukuzawa Yunan and asked.
"As of the last information, the Sanuki clan of Tokawa Ippon is still stationed ten miles southwest of Suzaki Castle and has built a huge number of siege equipment. The Awaji Navy and the Awa clan do not seem to continue to move eastward, and a large number of ships are still there.
Wandering in the sea south of Susaki Castle." Fukuzawa Yunan picked up the paper next to him and gave Yu Qiuping a brief summary.
"Why haven't the Awaji Marines and Awa Zhong marched eastward? How long have they been staying here?" Yu Qiuping gently hit his head a few times with his hand, and shook his head in confusion, "It doesn't make sense... Binggui
Such speed, why didn't they go east earlier and find a way to land? What's the use of spending time here?"
The question raised by Yu Qiuping caused everyone to fall into deep thought for a while, not knowing how to answer. After a while, Fuze Yunan seemed to suddenly think of something. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Your Highness, I have an idea."
"Yun Nan, please tell me."
"Could it be that... the Miyoshi family just wants to keep the situation in such a state in order to alienate the relationship between us and the Changzong family." Fukuzawa Yunan considered his words, trying to clarify his thoughts.
"If the Miyoshi family advances eastward and makes a gesture of landing, we will definitely retreat without hesitation and retreat to Urato Castle. By then, the deal is done. For the sake of the overall situation, the Chozune family cannot say anything more. The Yuqiu family and the Chozune family
Our family will fight against the Mihaoshi family with the same hatred." Fukuzawa Yunan paused and continued to analyze, "But if the Mihaoshi family maintains such a state of aloofness, it will be equivalent to giving the Yuqiu family and Changzong me
If there is an opportunity for in-fighting within the family, the conflict between the Uqiu family and the Chosoga family will continue to intensify. The Chosoga family will work hard to prevent the Uqiu family from retreating to Urato Castle, while the Yuqiu family will work hard to persuade the Chosoga family.
The tribe is shrinking across the board, and both sides refuse to give in to each other. When the conflict breaks out, not only the Yuqiu family will be unable to withdraw, but the Changzong family will also end up in a bad end, and the Sanhao family will be able to reap the benefits and defeat them one by one."
Fukuzawa Yunan's words made everyone in the room fall into deep thought. He was right. The Miyoshi family may have really planned to act like this, and the Miyoshi family's plan has already been half successful - Chang Zonggabu
Motochin had already sent people to enter Urato Castle first, cutting off Yu Qiuping's escape route.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. After a moment, Ye Gusuizi's small figure flashed out.
"Your Highness, Master Jiuwu would like to see you."
"Is it Mr. Kumu Senshin or Mr. Kumu Chisanao?" Yu Qiuping frowned and asked in a low voice - the styles of these two people are completely different. Kumu Sensin is a straight-hearted samurai, and his younger brother Jiuwu
Chinao is a lot more thoughtful. In the history of Yu Qiuping's previous life, Kumu's confidant once warned Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin not to reuse his younger brother. After the death of Kumu's confidant, Kumu inherited the Kumu family.
Chinao rose to prominence because of the appreciation of Chosogabu Motochina, and made profits by making slanderous lies to frame his colleagues. Many ministers and relatives of the Chosogabu family died because of Kubu Chinao, which is also known as
A disaster for our family.
"It's Kutake Chinao-sama." Haotani Suiko replied, tilting her little head, "I feel like he has a bad look on his face, and he looks like he's full of bad intentions."
"Let him come in." Yu Qiuping waved to Yegu Suizi, and at the same time glared at Yoshioka Shengzheng and said, "You guys should be more honest later and don't shout randomly."
"Hmph." Yoshioka Katsumasa snorted angrily, turned away with some dissatisfaction, and muttered something like "a country bumpkin from Tosa."
After a while, Kutake was led into the house by Haikou Yegu. After looking around for a few times, he saluted Yuqiu and said, "Thank you for your highness Jibu's previous suggestion. We have already started to shrink the defense line. Master Gu has led
500 people will return to support Urato Castle to guard against the Miyoshi family's landing. Your Highness will have nothing to worry about and can concentrate on holding on to Susaki Castle."
"Thank you so much." Yu Qiuping muttered angrily, and then spoke again, "It's just that the Awaji navy and Awa are so numerous that Master Gu's 500 men are obviously not strong enough. The Red Leaf Army still has some strength left, so it can be done
Distribute troops to support.”
"How dare you bother His Highness Zhibu!" Jiuwu Qinzhi saw this and replied with a smile, "Lord Gu is so brave that he is very brave. All the warriors under his command can defeat a hundred. Your Highness Zhibu need not worry."
For the sake of Kutake's words, even Tani Tadashi, who has always been engaged in copywriting, is said to be brave and unstoppable. It is obvious that he doesn't want to see the Red Leaf Army and refuses to let them go to Urato Castle. Yu Qiuping doesn't want to tear him apart.
Shameless, just ridiculing again and again.
"Changzong and our family also heard that His Highness Zhibu is negotiating peace with the Mihaoshi family..."
"There is nothing." Yu Qiuping shook his head decisively when he heard this, "Didn't you explain it to Lord Jiuwu before? This is a rumor of the Sanhao family. Didn't Lord Jiuwu explain it clearly to His Highness the Changzong?"
"No, no, no, there is no need for His Highness Jibu to misunderstand." His Highness Jibu waved his hands repeatedly upon seeing this, "To be honest, His Highness is also planning to negotiate peace with the Miyoshi family. If His Highness Jibu has already established a line with the Miyoshi family,
My Highness would like to ask Your Highness to deliver the message on your behalf. If not, my Highness will send his own envoy to negotiate peace."
"Changzong and our family want to negotiate for peace?" Yoshioka Katsumasa couldn't hold it back and couldn't help but exclaimed, "How can we negotiate for peace in the current situation? Nishi Tosa has been lost. At this time, we can negotiate for peace with Chosong and our family.
What benefit does it gain?”
"I don't need to worry about it, my lord, Changzong has his own plans." Jiuwu said in a low voice to Yoshioka Shengzheng, and then turned to Yu Qiuping again, "If His Highness Jibu does not intend to negotiate for peace,
The lord sent his envoys himself."
"It's up to you, this is a family matter of our clan, Changzong, and has nothing to do with me." Yu Qiuping shook his head and said nothing more, because he didn't want to continue the fight. "If peace talks can prevent the lives of Tosa people from being devastated, that's fine."
It’s also a beautiful thing.”
"In that case, I will take my leave." Jiuwu bowed straight to Yuqiu, then turned and left, leaving everyone in the Yuqiu family looking at each other.
"Nishitosa has been lost now, and the Miyoshi family is approaching the city. The peace treaty signed at this time will definitely be extremely detrimental to the Chosou family." As soon as Kutake left the front foot, Yoshioka Katsumasa couldn't help but said, "Changsou.
What is the purpose of our family negotiating peace at this time?"
"Perhaps the Changzong family, after mistakenly thinking that we wanted to negotiate a peace with the Miyoshi family, was already in chaos. They were afraid that we would abandon them, so they wanted to reach an agreement with the Miyoshi family before us." Fukuzawa Yunan
He gave his own speculation, "But that's fine. If the Mihaoshi family and the Changzong family stop fighting, we can leave safely."
"Is this really true?" Yu Qiuping sighed with a wry smile, slowly stood up from his seat, and paced slowly in the room, "If the Changzong family and the Sanhao family negotiate a peace... they will still stand next to each other.
On the side of the Oda family? If he falls on the side of the Miyoshi family, wouldn’t we be the turtle in the urn?"
Facts have proved that Yu Qiuping's worries are justified.
