Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 773 Chacha fooled the silly Erlang, Xiusheng turned against Gekeng brothers
Time, time, how many wars have changed their ending because of you!

Toyotomi Hideji succeeded in sieging Kasugayama Castle before Naoe Kanatsugu came back. Naoe Kanatsugu was 2 days too late and could only lurk in the mountains of Joetsu to wait for time.

Fortunately, there are still 3000 troops in Kasuga Mountain City, plus the samurai children, leaders, civilian husbands, and female relatives in the city can easily mobilize 6000 people to fight.

In addition, Uesugi Jingsheng has already built Kasugayama Castle, and today Kasugayama Castle is already a stone wall mountain castle built on the mountain, which is not comparable to the wooden screen city wall of Uesugi Kenshin era.

Toyotomi Hideji was now full of will, and immediately sent people to negotiate with Uesugi Jingsheng as soon as the soldiers surrounded Kasugayama Castle.

He felt that he had already won, and he planned to show mercy to Uesugi Jingsheng a chance. As long as Uesugi Jingsheng was willing to accept it, he was willing to block Uesugi's house with 10 shian to show his kindness.

Such a condition was naturally rejected by Uesugi Jingsheng.He doesn't know what his fate will be. Although Naoe Kanatsugu has repeatedly assured him that he has made an agreement with Tokugawa Ieyasu, but now that the city is under siege, it is still unclear whether Tokugawa Ieyasu will keep his promise.

This sadness reached its peak especially when Tokugawa Ieyasu led his more than 3 troops to the foot of Kasugayama Castle.

Looking at the Tokugawa Aoi flag at the foot of the mountain, Uesugi suddenly felt betrayed.But the pride of being Kenshin Uesugi's son did not allow him to admit defeat so easily.

At the same time, Tokugawa Ieyasu also sent someone to send a letter to let Uesugi Jingsheng be at ease, and their side has already taken the initiative in the battle.

However, the situation in the world is such a sudden change. After more than 8 soldiers of Hideji and Tokugawa Ieyasu surrounded Kasugayama Castle in January, there was a sudden commotion under the castle.

Uesugi Jingsheng watched from the countryside beside the city, and indeed there was a commotion in Toyotomi Hideji's main camp, and then a group of troops came out of the camp with the five-seven-patterned flag.

Kasuga Yamashiro originally thought that after more than a month of siege, Toyotomi Hideji was finally ready to start a real battle with real swords and guns. Unexpectedly, after this army came out of the camp, it went straight to the north, as if it was coming from itself. direction to leave.

"What happened?" At this moment, Uesugi Jingsheng was at a loss. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu often wrote to him, he did not reveal the complete plan to him, but kept him at ease.

But now that there is a sudden special change in the city, he will naturally be extremely nervous.He wanted to send someone to contact Tokugawa Ieyasu again, but found that Tokugawa Ieyasu's flag had already entered the main formation under the castle, replacing the original Wuqitong pattern.

"Why, is the inner government responsible for the offensive against me at Mount Chunri?"

But right now Tokugawa Ieyasu doesn't have the time to talk to Uesugi Kekatsu, he is busy cleaning up the mess after Toyotomi Hideji left.

Of course, for Tokugawa Ieyasu, this is not a mess, but an opportunity.

Yes, Toyotomi Hideji withdrew, because last night he received news that his younger brother Hidekatsu had raised troops in Beizhizhuang, declaring him a traitor.

When he heard the news at first, he couldn't believe it, but then he became furious, thinking that it was Xiu Sheng's betrayal of himself, and he wanted to lead his troops back to Beizhizhuang to drag Xiu Sheng out and question the reason.

In order to stabilize the morale of the Uesugi army, he recruited Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideho overnight. After many rounds of trials, he confirmed that Tokugawa Ieyasu was indeed loyal to him and expressed his position as interim general.

Tokugawa Ieyasu resolutely declined, let Xiu Bao serve as the general, and Asano Nagamasa served as the deputy general together with himself.Such an arrangement made Xiuci completely relieved of him.

If you want to talk about why Xiusheng rebelled against his brother, it is naturally because of Chacha.

As mentioned earlier, Xiusheng, who left Osaka City Ouchi, could hardly forget the joy at that time, but the happiness he couldn't find in Ajiang.

But because of his status, he could only restrain himself until someone from Ao Nei came to invite Xiu Sheng a few days ago.

At first Xiusheng refused, until the person quietly told Xiusheng that Chacha wanted to have a secret discussion with him about a big matter, then he followed the visitor's footsteps to the city with some dilemmas.

It's still the peach garden, it's the time when the peach trees are in bloom, and it's still the same hut, where Chacha has long been waiting.

Xiu Sheng didn't know where his brain was wrong, the first time he saw Yujie Chacha who was still charming, he couldn't hold back his loneliness and rushed up to hug her, gnawing on her face.

As a result, Chacha gently pushed it away very politely, and told him a shocking news in an extremely gentle tone, "Your Highness, I am pregnant, and it is your child!"

When Xiu Sheng heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone woke up instantly.He looked at Chacha in shock, and asked in disbelief, "My child?"

Xiusheng wanted to listen to Chacha's stomach, but Chacha said that she had just seen a doctor, and she was only two months pregnant and could not hear the child's heartbeat.

"What should I do!" Hearing that Chacha was really pregnant, Xiusheng immediately panicked.This is his "mother" in name, but she became pregnant with her son in the fifth year after Hideyoshi's death. I'm afraid she will be killed by the world.

Chacha looked down on Xiusheng's appearance of being unable to take on things, but at the moment Chacha still needs Xiusheng, so she still smiled and comforted her, "Your Highness, why worry, isn't this your opportunity?"

"My chance?"

Chacha took the initiative to approach Xiusheng, resting her head on his shoulder, stroking his chest with her hands and comforting him, "It's Your Highness's chance. In this way, Your Highness can take over the world in the name of Xiuli's hindsight, right?"

"See you later? Take pictures of the world?" Xiusheng heard these words, and Hideyoshi's appearance appeared in his mind, a good man should be like this!
"But. Seeing later, it's my elder brother. There's also Shi Laozi's 'Ruo Nian Ji' Fengchun Palace"

"Is His Highness inferior to His Highness Gifu? Why can't he be replaced?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiu Sheng pushed Cha Cha away in horror.

Chacha said resentfully: "Even if Your Highness doesn't feel pity for me, you should be careful about the child in my belly~"

"Yes yes yes" Xiusheng was worried about the fetus in her womb, seeing Chacha's pain, he held her in his arms pitifully, and gently stroked her abdomen.

"What I said to His Highness is not false. Your Highness does not need to worry about the risk of this matter being too high. His Highness Uesugi, His Highness Tokugawa, and His Highness Maeda are all supported by His Highness."

"Maeda? Tokugawa? Could it be the two of them?"

"The world has been suffering for a long time~!" Chacha chose to tell him part of her plan frankly, "His Highness Uesugi was punished for his innocence, which naturally aroused the displeasure of other daimyos. Could it be that His Highness has not seen that there are many people in the Western Kingdom in this battle?" Did the daimyo join the war?
His Highness Tokugawa was forced to attack His Highness Uesugi from south to north, but the two families were originally close friends, so how could His Highness Tokugawa do it?

Wasn't the cause of His Highness Maeda's suffering and transfer to Echizen?The Maeda family led troops to the south to quell the rebellion, but suffered the crime and transferred the title, and the Zuo Fu not long ago focused on the profits of Hakata Port."

Seeing that Xiu Sheng was still in trouble, Chacha continued to persuade him, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, I'd like to wait for Your Highness to meet someone later."

"who?"

"Maeda Counselor. Of course the one who lives in seclusion."

"Reclusive" At this moment, Xiu Sheng was so shocked that he could not speak. The reclusive one was naturally referring to Maeda Toshiie. Compared with the history, he obviously lived longer without political torture.

Maeda Toshiie is as special as Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Toyotomi family system, and he is an extremely important political symbol.

Because Maeda Toshiie was seen by the outside world as a person who was indifferent to fame and wealth, which is why Hideyoshi trusted him so much before his death and entrusted Xiuli's mother and child to him.

But now even he is on the team, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was originally admitted to Chacha's side, which means that Hideji's Northern Expedition to Uesugi is probably a disaster.

"Your Highness." Chacha is still bewitching Xiusheng at this moment, "You are the father of the child in my womb, and you are Xiuli's adoptive father. If you can help Xiuli stabilize the world, all the great names will reward you with the collar of Gifu Million Stones .You can be regarded as the entrustment to his predecessor Hideyoshi.

If you gain power in the future, as long as you take good care of our mother and son, the whole world will be given to you, so why not? "

"Millions of stones! See you later! Father-in-law! The world!" These deceptive words kept echoing in Xiu Sheng's mind, pushing him into the abyss.

"Is there really a million stones?" Xiu Sheng asked Cha Cha for proof.

Chacha didn't expect Xiusheng to be so easy to fool, her eyes only saw Baiwanshi Zhixing, she snuggled into his arms and continued to fool around, "I don't know that there is Baiwanshi Zhixing, and the position of Zuo Fu, Feng Chen's family has the right to see later, And this righteousness of ruling the world!"

"Chacha! I will do my best to protect you and our children!" Xiusheng even changed the name of Chacha, no longer calling her "mother".

After Xiusheng said that, he planned to go back and mobilize the army to stab his brother's ass, but what Chacha was most afraid of was that he would leave without thinking.

They have already made arrangements for everything, Xiusheng can leave, but must have a suitable name to leave.

You must know that Hideji left Osaka with his troops, but Mori Terumoto and his 2 people remained in Osaka Castle. Although this army did not enter Osaka, it was stationed in Amagasaki and Himeji on the north side of Osaka.

Once there is any trouble in Osaka, the speed of the 2 troops must be faster than the reaction of the troops waiting for mobilization in Osaka.

In the end, after some operations, Xiusheng was allowed to leave the city on the grounds that he was going to supervise the expansion of Fushimi Castle, and he was asked to mobilize Omi's army to come to Osaka.

Mori Terumoto was deliberately left in Osaka by Hideto, naturally to monitor Osaka.But there was one person he was determined not to monitor, and that was Toyotomi Hidekatsu.

After all, in Mori Terumoto's view, Xiusheng is Xiuci's younger brother, so there is no reason for an elder brother to rebel against his younger brother and stand on the other side.

It is precisely because of this kind of luck that Chacha has room to maneuver. Toyotomi Hidekatsu successfully mobilized more than 2 troops from Toyotomi Banner and Naomi Daimyo in Omi to drive directly outside Osaka.

Mori Terumoto's reaction was very slow. When he heard that Hidekashi was mobilizing the army in Omi, he thought Hidekatsu had received Hideji's secret order to mobilize Toyotomi Banner to support Hideji.

Who would have thought that Xiu Sheng would actually lead his troops to Osaka after mobilizing his army, and he didn't realize that something was wrong until this moment.He didn't dare to live in Osaka City, but fled directly to the Maori army in Amagasaki City.

After Xiusheng led the troops into Osaka, Maeda Toshiie immediately sent a letter of inquiry to Mori Terumoto in the name of Xiuli, asking him about his position on this matter.

Mori Terumoto saw that even Maeda Toshiie had come forward, and there was no reason to struggle. He immediately said that he would personally lead the troops back to the territory and disband them. He would plead guilty to Osaka after the army disbanded.

In fact, Mori Terumoto wanted to procrastinate for a while, and Xiang led the troops back to the territory to observe the situation in the world. If Xiuci led the troops back to calm the chaos, he would give support as soon as possible.

Naturally, Maeda Toshiie would not let Mori Terumoto go so easily, but he has a large army in his hand, and the biggest enemy on the Osaka side right now is Hideji in Echigo, not the Mori family.

Although Chacha had been upset with Terumoto Mori for a long time, she temporarily put aside the controversy under Maeda Toshiie's persuasion and agreed to Terumoto Mori's plan.

At the same time, she quickly asked Toyotomi Hidekatsu to return to Echizen to mobilize troops to cut off Hideji's retreat, and on the other hand, she asked Ishida Mitsunari to lead the troops to monitor the withdrawal of Mori Terumoto.

Mori Terumoto, the last one from Osaka, almost scolded Xiuji and Xiusheng's ancestors in eight generations.If what he regrets the most at this moment, it is probably that he got on the thief ship of Xiuci.

Who would have thought that Xiuci was so incompetent that even his own brother couldn't control him!

Mori Terumoto knew very well that it was impossible for the Mori family to settle this matter, it was nothing more than a question of how much blood was bleeding.

But how did he know that the woman in Osaka wanted him to die!

Osaka didn’t give you Terumoto Mori a chance at all. After Shuji’s defeat, the Mori family was declared a rebel by Osaka, and asked the Western Kingdom daimyo to gather troops to fight against them. In the end, if Xiu’s family didn’t arrive in time, the Mori family might be in danger of extinction. .

Toyotomi Hidekatsu was completely limped this time, even though this series of changes had already made A Jiang aware that something was wrong.

Although she is one of the three sisters, she is one of the few women who are not above her head.She sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to find Xiu Sheng to analyze and make him realize the reality.

But how could Xiusheng listen to her, he was already in the gentle village, he was fooled by the promises of the millionaires and the people of the world, and he couldn't find the north.

He even felt that Ajiang, a woman, knew nothing about politics, so Xiusheng threw her in Osaka and returned to Echizen alone, and gathered troops in Beizhizhuang Castle to declare Xiuji a rebellion.

Osaka is also very cooperative in announcing that Hideji's crusade against the Uesugi clan is illegal and violates the order of innocence.

But Osaka was not in a hurry to declare Hideji as rebellious, but instead called on the world's big names to stop fighting and come to Osaka to discuss coordination.

In fact, this trick is the real soft knife to cut flesh, it is extremely powerful.

In fact, when Xiusheng raised his troops, Xiuci already had a premonition of his own defeat.But Osaka's more softened attitude than Xiusheng made him seem to see the hope of life.

People are most afraid of jumping over the wall after being disappointed, which is why Osaka made an opening for Xiuji.

Hidetoshi was really hooked, he handed over the general situation to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and he led the team back on the Hokuriku Road.He needs to teach his disobedient brother a lesson to establish his authority before he goes to fight in the political battlefield of Daban City.

His mind is very simple. Now that Osaka is calling, the names of the legions under his command may never follow him to contribute.

Expecting them to drag me back, I might as well bring the elite of the headquarters back quickly, just like the return of China back then, and teach Xiu Sheng a lesson before everyone reacts.

It's just that he didn't know that this series of actions is a routine, a trap that Tokugawa Ieyasu has worked hard for a long time.Even without Xiusheng's counterattack, he couldn't run away with Xiuci.

Moreover, on the battlefield of political struggle, the fight between the enemy and us is more intense than on the battlefield, and both sides are fighting endlessly.

Logically speaking, Xiuci is not a political novice anymore, but he did not expect to be ruined by such a stupid judgment and operation.
