After hearing these words, Yu Qiuping immediately frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't bluff here, we have not received any news that the Oda family's reinforcements were attacked. Before nightfall, His Highness Ikeda even sent someone to report the news.
, saying that they have advanced to Shengrui City."
"That's just because I haven't taken action yet." Sanhao Changqingyun chuckled lightly, as if nothing had happened.
"You are talking arrogantly." Yu Qiuping shook his head disapprovingly, "The Miyoshi family's army is all in Shiga City, Sanuki Country. What can we do to get reinforcements from the Oda family who are far away outside Shengrui City in Awa Country?"
"Oh? Really?" Sanhao Changqing calmly picked up the tea and took a sip, "Before setting off from Shihe City, I specifically ordered the lifting of martial law in the entire city. Calculating the time, I believe it won't be long.
After that, your Hongye Army lurking in Shihe City can rush back to report the news and tell you that Shihe City is almost an empty city."
Yu Qiuping calmly made a gesture towards Mori Ranmaru, and Mori Ranmaru immediately retreated. As Yu Qiuping listened to Mori Ranmaru's footsteps gradually receding, his heartbeat gradually accelerated. Yes, he was indeed careless.
By default, the Miyoshi Army must have gathered in Sanuki Country to prepare for a surprise attack. After all, it is useless to defeat the Oda reinforcements. Only by defeating the Red Leaf Army can the Miyoshi family win. However, Miyoshi Nagakei seems to be completely deviant - he plans to use
Oda's reinforcements came to threaten Yu Qiupei.
After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard again. Mori Ranmaru hurried back and whispered in Yu Qiuping's ear:
"Your Highness, our military intelligence department's ninjas lurking in Shihe City have just managed to send back the news that Shihe City is almost an empty city without any troops left. The cavalry that left the city to attack His Highness today is all the people.
"
Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this and laughed twice at Sanhao Changqing.
"I really don't understand." Yu Qiuping also held up the tea, "His Royal Highness Xiu did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of His Highness Shihe and hundreds of elite warriors of the Mihaoshi family in order to assassinate me, but he did not leave any army nearby or any backup plan.
None. So what’s the use of this assassination?”
"They are bait. The sacrifices of my fourth brother and Five Hundred Banners are bait." Miyoshi Changqing sighed with some heartache, but the heartache disappeared without a trace after sighing. "The purpose is
Let you think that the target of our army is the head of your highness, the Imperial Highness, and thus scare the Red Leaves Army into hiding in the northern part of Sanuki Country and not dare to go south with the minimum number of troops, giving our army enough time to annihilate the Oda family in Awa Country.
Reinforcements.”
"Concentrate all your troops there..." Yu Qiuping curled his lips and looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea, "Abandon Iyo, abandon Sanqi, abandon large tracts of land, just for..."
"Just for this big gamble." Sanhao Changqing took over his words, and the tea leaves in Yu Qiuping's tea cup suddenly rolled and sank.
"Let's not worry about this for now." Yu Qiuping took a deep breath. The warrior in front of him made him unable to see clearly. "Since it is gambling, what do you want to bet on, Your Highness?"
"Your Majesty, please be kind to the Miyoshi family, leave the country of Iyo to us and provide security to the people under their control. The Miyoshi family is willing to surrender to the Oda family, and I myself am willing to commit seppuku." Miyoshi Nagakei whispered in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing.
The contrast between this mild concession condition and the aggressive threat he just made is simply unbelievable. Yuqiupei originally thought that Miyoshi Nagakei, who had just put down such big words, would ask the Oda army to withdraw immediately and give up Awaji Island or something like that.
What about the requirements.
"Is it possible that Your Highness has a guilty conscience?" Yu Qiuping took a sip of tea and gently placed the tea cup on the table in front of him, "How could you propose such a weak condition?"
"Because this gamble must be won, and what is at stake is the fate of the Sanhao family." Sanhao Changqing calmly put the teacup back on the table, "Even if you win a little less, you can't lose."
"If the Sanhao Army really still has the strength and can annihilate the Oda Army under Shengrui City, how can they put forward such a guilty-minded condition?" Yu Qiuping smiled and shook his head repeatedly, "His Highness Xiu is too timid."
"No." Miyoshi Nagakei obviously did not agree with Yu Qiupei's statement, "In fact, I am fully capable of annihilating the Oda army of Awa country in half a day. But what is the use of this? Iyo country and
The Sanuki Kingdom is almost empty and will soon fall. And after I annihilate the Oda reinforcements, I will definitely be severely weakened and unable to fight against the Red Leaf Army. At that time, the Miyoshi family will have only one way to perish. I
He is the governor of the Miyoshi family. He only cares about the survival of the Miyoshi family. What’s the use of killing many Oda soldiers?”
"Then why didn't you come to negotiate earlier? Offer the hostages to surrender before we land."
"If we negotiate earlier, His Highness Jibu will agree?" Miyoshi Nagakei showed a scornful smile, "The Miyoshi family is a serious problem in the eyes of General Oda and His Highness Jibu. Not to mention leaving Iyo country, I'm afraid
Even General Oda and His Highness Jibu are not willing to leave a city behind."
"Very self-aware." Yu Qiuping nodded. Before the expedition, Oda Nobunaga indeed expressed his intention to eradicate the Miyoshi family time and time again. The Miyoshi family has ruled Kinki and Shikoku for many years, and the party has great influence, and many wealthy people have
There are thousands of connections. It would be best to get rid of a family like this no matter what.
"Leaving Iyo Country and keeping the family name is the highest condition that I think is safe, and His Highness Jibu is willing to agree to it because he is worried about the safety of friendly forces." Miyoshi Nagakei said in a low voice, "If I ask Sanuki again
It is not easy for His Majesty the Governor of a country to explain to General Oda You, and he might end up fighting me to the death."
"But I still don't believe you can destroy the Oda family's reinforcements." Yu Qiupei put his hands on the table and looked directly at Miyoshi Chokei, "That's a total of 15,000 people, all elite soldiers of the Ikeda family, the Sawaki family, and the Mori family.
.The entire army of the Mihaoshi family can only gather 30,000 people. Now His Highness Shihe is dead, and His Highness Xiu is not in the army. Without enough troops and outstanding generals, what can you do to destroy them in half a day?"
"I said yes, it is yes." Sanhao Changqing nodded slightly with confidence.
"I don't believe it unless you tell me you have any tricks to win by surprise." Yu Qiuping leaned forward slightly and asked in a deep voice, but Mihao Changqing just shook his head.
"If you don't tell me, I can only think that you are bluffing and trying to blackmail me." Yu Qiuping shook his head sharply, "Then I will never agree to your conditions."
"His Royal Highness Zhibu really has no gambling products. Are there any gamblers clamoring to see the opponent's hole card? The trick to win unexpectedly is my trump card." Miyoshi Changqing laughed and pointed at himself.
The hole card turned upside down in the wooden box, "How can you show the hole card to the opponent before comparing it? You have to look at the card and follow it to the end."
"My card is j." Yu Qiuping tapped his hole card with his knuckles, "Unless you are q, you can't beat me. But I don't believe you are q, and I don't believe you can win in half a day.
Within, before the Hongye Army’s reinforcements arrive, kill all the Oda family’s reinforcements.”
"If Your Highness Jibu doesn't believe it, just show your cards." Miyoshi Changqing sneered, "But the ugly words are ahead. Once you show your cards, there will be no turning back. Although Miyoshi's family is destined to perish, His Highness Jibu will also wait.
Collect the bodies of your friends and subordinates. I have made an appointment with my subordinates a long time ago. If there is no fireworks signal in half an hour, they will start fighting."
"I just don't believe it." Yu Qiuping put his hand on his trump card, sweat was already forming on his forehead, and his eyes were staring at Mihao Changqing's face - but he couldn't see any clues.
How to choose?
I am a 4 j. Unless he is a 4 q, I will win without a doubt. With our tens of thousands of troops and a huge fleet attacking from three sides, the Miyoshi family will undoubtedly be defeated. If our Red Leaf Army wants to rush to Awa Country to support the city of Shengrui, as long as
Half a day. We now have 15,000 troops in Awa country, and the Sanhao family together only has 30,000 people. Moreover, the two veteran generals Sanhao Changqing and Shihe Yicun are not here yet. Unless it is a fire attack and a flood... otherwise it will never be possible.
They were wiped out in half a day, not to mention the lives of Ikeda Tsuneaki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, and Mori Kotaka.
It must be a bluff... Sanhao Changqing will definitely not be able to do it.
But he is so sure...so confident, and doesn't feel like it's fake. And for this plan, he is willing to sacrifice his younger brother, the most powerful general of the Mihaoshi family, Shihe Yicun, so he must be very confident in this plan.
Well...who would sacrifice his own brother for a vain plan?
Moreover... Ikeda Tsuneaki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, and Mori Kotaka... all three of them died in battles in their previous lives... If we use the terminology in Nobunaga's Ambition game, they must have all died.
With the characteristic of "unfortunateness"... now that these three people are together, no matter what, it makes people feel uneasy... There can't really be an accident.
If I agree to Miyoshi Nagakei's plan, I will leave Iyo country to the Miyoshi family... Nagaso Gabe Motochika will definitely take back Nishi Tosa, and even ask for some more land, and Oda Nobunaga also asked me to set aside 20% of the land in Shikoku.
Thousands of stones of land... After this calculation, the entire Shikoku Island has been divided up. Is it equivalent to fighting in vain and getting nothing?
But it doesn't matter, I don't care about the land at all... Nothing can compare with the lives of Ikeda Tsuneaki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki and Mori Kotaka... But if the Miyoshi family, the evil seed with endless troubles, is to be kept, I always feel that the future will be
There are variables…
How to choose...
It's impossible... Sanhao Changqing can't do it. That's 15,000 people. They only need to withstand it for half a day.
And how could his card be q... If it was q...
"I don't believe it." Yu Qiuping gritted his teeth and said fiercely while holding back his breath.
"Then let's turn over the cards and compare the cards." Sanhao Changqing reached out to reveal his trump card without any hesitation.
When Yu Qiuping saw his actions, the anger he was holding in his heart suddenly vented. He raised his hand to stop Sanhao Changqing's hand.
"No more, you win." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly and pushed his cards to the middle, "It has been 20 years, and in terms of gambling, I still can't beat His Highness, the gambler."
"I'm not surprised." Sanhao Changqing raised his head, and Yu Qiuping discovered that there wasn't even a drop of sweat on his face.
"How could His Highness, with his temperament, risk the life of the son of his best friend and old friend for the sake of a country and a family?" Miyoshi Changqing stood up, stretched out his hand to Yu Qiuping and said, "This
In a gambling game, I can only win, not lose."
"Why?" Yu Qiuping took Mihao Changqing's hand and stood up.
"In the final analysis, I still have more capital. People with less capital are better than those with more capital anyway."
"What does His Highness Xiu mean by this?" Yu Qiuping was stunned when he heard this, "What other assets does the Sanhao family have that can be compared with the Yuqiu family?"
"It's not a comparison between Sanhao's family and Yuqiu's family, it's a comparison between me and you." Sanhao Changqing sighed and showed a strange smile, "You still have a lot to lose, but I have nothing to lose.
My brothers have all left before me. If you have a choice, you will hesitate. I don’t have a choice, so I have no hesitation. In this case, how can you beat me in a bet? "
Yu Qiuping looked at the warrior in front of him. The gambling game just now seemed to have exhausted all his life's energy. At this moment, he did not have the energy and energy he had just now, as if all the burdens had been lifted from his body, and he looked like an old man in his dying years.
"I'm still curious, what is your trump card?" Yu Qiuping unconsciously changed his honorific to the old man, "Fire attack? How on earth can you eliminate Oda's reinforcements in half a day?"
"Those who have not followed to the end cannot read the cards. This is the rule of the casino." Miyoshi Changqing smiled and shook his head.
