Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 775 The Loser in the Game of Thrones Has No Good Results
Hidetoshi was caught, tied up, and escorted to the general of the Tokugawa family, Yasumasa Sakakibara, who was leading the army this time.

Hideji looked up at the man on the horse against the glare of the sun, and asked him, "Is that so? Even Tokugawa Dai Nagen turned his back on me."

"My lord has never responded to rebels!" Sakakibara Yasumasa looked at the bound man below. This man was the most powerful person in the world not long ago, but now he can only be slaughtered like a bereaved dog.

Xiuci was stunned for a moment when he heard this answer, but quickly understood the meaning of his words, "Is that so? I trust people too easily. It's just that I didn't expect that the Tokugawa army would rush over so quickly."

"There are only 1000 Tokugawa soldiers!" Yasumasa Sakakihara's answer was still simple and capable.

"Then why are there so many people!"

Hideji, who heard this answer, couldn't believe it. The Tokugawa army in front of him just now clearly had tens of thousands of people. How come there are only 1000 people in Sakakibara Komasa's mouth?

"Are they?" Sakakibara Yasumasa looked at "Tokugawa Ashgaru" who was greedily picking up spoils from the fallen corpses beside him and said, "These are the common people that His Highness looked down on at the beginning. I just gave them a hat and a It's just a flag, they don't even have a long gun."

Xiuci couldn't believe the answer he heard, he was actually defeated by an army without armor or even weapons!
At this moment, he only felt infinite humiliation to himself.He can accept being defeated by the Tokugawa army on the battlefield, even if his ass is stolen like today.

But he was unwilling to accept that he was defeated by a group of unarmed peasants. The 2 Gifu Legion in his hands was the best of the best!But after seeing the flag behind them, they collapsed without any fighting spirit.

"Hahahaha~" Xiuci couldn't accept her ending like this, and laughed like crazy.

Tokugawa Ieyasu did not come, but only 1000 people from his retainer Sakakihara Yasomasa came.Tokugawa Ieyasu has more important things to deal with, and that is to use the fear of the daimyo in the Hidetsu army to win them over as much as possible.

For Tokugawa Ieyasu, his goal is not just to be the top five.Now it is only because of the same political enemy that he is united with Chacha. If he is against Chacha in the future, he will naturally need the help of others.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and these people are theoretically traitors.Now that Xiuci has lost power, they must desperately want to grab straws.

Tokugawa Ieyasu can just take advantage of this opportunity to win over a group of former Nobuo faction daimyos at a very low cost.

You really can't say that Tokugawa Ieyasu is not a member of the Nobi faction. He is Nobunaga's original ally and has a deep connection with the daimyo from Nobi.

Even Asano Nagamasa, the elder brother of Beizhengsuo Ningning, took Tokugawa Ieyasu's olive branch, hoping that he could be forgiven when Hideji was dealt with.

Tokugawa Ieyasu also expressed very generously, "Asano Nagon has contributed to the Toyotomi family, this time it was coerced by a rebellious minister, and it is not His Royal Highness's crime~"

But is it really as smooth as Tokugawa Ieyasu expected?

After many days of troubles, he finally calmed down the restless heart of the daimyo, and started to return to Osaka with Uesugi Jingsheng, but he heard a very bad news in Kitanosho Castle.

Ono Choji came to Kita no Sho in person, and with Chacha's order, together with Hidekatsu, Toyotomi Hideji, who was controlled by Sakakibara Komasa, was taken away.

Toyotomi Hidekatsu had already left, but Ono Nagaji did not leave. He deliberately waited for Tokugawa Ieyasu here, and asked Tokugawa to arrest people according to the list of daimyos in the military service account of the previous conquest of Echigo!

And on the list, Asano Nagamasa's name bears the brunt!

He promised to save Asano Nagamasa in front of so many famous people, and now Chacha is asking him to arrest him with a single order, isn't that a slap in the face?

"I will never accept this matter!" Tokugawa Ieyasu directly rejected Chacha's order to Ono Nagaji, "This is chaos!"

After being bullied by Xiujia and Xiuci for 5 years, now Chacha has finally gained power, and she ascended to heaven with her people.Ono Nagaji looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes with both nostrils upturned, "The inner government should be careful to express its position, this is an order from the mistress!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu calmed down after being pushed by Ono Nagaji. It's not that he was afraid of Chacha, but that he hadn't turned his face yet.

He changed into a relatively kind face and said to Ono Changji, "Since the rebellious leader Toyotomi Hideji has been captured, it is enough to punish the rebellious leader. Now that the lord is young and unstable, it is time to take this opportunity to show his name.

Nakano Asano is a relative of the lord, and also shoulders the important task of guarding Hokuriku.When Xiuci proposed to attack Uesugi before, he also stated many times that he needed to be cautious.

Although he joined the conscription this time, he acted under the name of the edict jointly written by the five big brothers of the Toyotomi family.Madame wants to do something to Zhong Nayan, are you thinking about it?
In any case, he is the lord's uncle, and this matter needs to be discussed with the Beizheng Office. "

After hearing this, Ono Changji said with a sneer, "Beizhengsuo? Now Daban City is controlled by Mrs. Yodo, and Beizhengsuo has been moved to Diancheng to settle down.

This is the castle built by the Former Lord for Mrs. Dian, Mrs. Dian herself has never lived in it.

As for the fact that Asano Nagamasa followed the traitor Toyotomi Hideji to defeat Zhongliang, do we still need to refute it?The family crest of Asano Yitaka no Yu at the foot of Kasugayama Castle is the evidence. "

"The disposal of the Asano family will inevitably cause commotion among other daimyos"

Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Ono Nagaji, "Your loyalty has been proven, and you have been suppressed by Hideji for many years. Now you have finally seized the opportunity. Time to set things right.

What's more, the daimyos who took part in setting things right this time also need rewards. If these rebellious daimyos are not dealt with, where will these rewards come from?Is it necessary to allocate it from the lord's hiding place?

To tell the truth from the Inner Palace, your rewards have already been set, and the rewards for all the three kingdoms of Shinano, Kai, and Sagami will be announced shortly. "

Hearing the open-mouthed boss who rewarded Tokugawa Ieyasu, he asked in disbelief, "Why is Sagami included? Don't we need to discuss this matter with His Highness Toyoharu?"

"Does the Toyoharu family have territory in Sagami? The Ashikaga family will be transferred to the wild. As for the Nagatsuka, Takeda and other families, aren't they the retainers of the Toyotomi family?

Moreover, His Royal Highness Fengchun has been hiding the layout of Ezo for so long, and has been secretly developing territories in Ezo for many years.What's more, it violated the regulations to send out troops, which violated the requirements of the first emperor's order of nothing to do, and not punishing him is already showing the kindness of the lord! "

Nagaji Ohno said, and deliberately lowered his voice and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu, "In my opinion, the Ezo bandits invaded the South that year because the Youfu deliberately used troops abroad to arouse the restlessness of the Ezo tribesmen, otherwise there would be no silence. The centuries-old reason for the southward invasion of the Ainu people."

Tokugawa Ieyasu was completely unwilling to talk to him, he just felt that Chacha's political actions were particularly stupid.Now the Xiu family is still eyeing the north. At this time, they don't want to be kind to Daming, but are they planning to do something because they are afraid that they will not give the Xiu family a chance?

In the current situation, it is natural to deal with the big and let go of the small.Isn't it enough for you to use the Maori family's territory to reward the heroes?For the other daimyos, you still need their strength to resist the Xiu family who might go south.

"This matter will be decided after my meeting with my wife." Tokugawa Ieyasu is still going to be tough. He will never hand over the people. He said that he will personally watch these names and wait until Osaka and Chacha discuss the final solution. Do it again.

Nagaharu Ono is hardened now, but he still dare not go up to Tokugawa Ieyasu directly.Now that the boss said that he would talk about it after meeting with his boss, he could only agree, but he also said that he would personally follow them back to Osaka.

There must be smart people among the daimyo. Asano Nagamasa saw that Ono Nagaharu was with these daimyos all day long, so he would think more about it.

He recruited two of his attendants, one asked Qiao Zhuang to go back to Osaka to find the Beizheng Office to inquire about the situation, and the other returned to Etchuka Takaoka Castle to inform his eldest son Asano Yutaka to be ready.

Asano Nagamasa really expected the incident. When the team reached the edge of Lake Biwa, the retainer sent to Osaka hurried back to Asano Nagamasa and said eagerly to him, "Master, something serious happened. His Highness Kitanosho was killed." Dianji was taken to Diancheng for custody."

"What? How did this happen!" Hearing the news, Nagamasa Asano couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up from the ground with a 'squeak'.

But the following news broke out one by one: "Not only that, I heard that the Mori family was also accused of rebellion, and now they are being crusaded by Ishida Osamu with 3 banners."

"Is the Mori family going to be crusaded?" Asano Nagamasa's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard. "This is one of the five big brothers!"

His adopted son Sugihara Nagabo naturally also heard the news, and asked him, "Father, could His Highness Tokugawa have lied to us!"

"Tokugawa." Asano Nagamasa couldn't grasp the situation outside now, so he could only keep pacing in the room and comforted himself, "No, no. His Highness Tokugawa promised us."

"Father, the knife is already on the neck! Auntie was moved to Yancheng, you don't think it's for training, right! Now the woman Chacha is talking about in Daban City, and the Tokugawa House is her ally!"

Asano Nagamasa: "."

Seeing that his adoptive father was still hesitating, Sugihara Nagabo continued to persuade: "You are looking outside, Ohno Nagaji is also following outside. He is the lord's servant, if he came to deliver the order, he would return immediately after the order. Followed all the way like him? Rather than following the passage back to Osaka, it would be better to say that he was watching us!"

Asano Nagamasa was also in a state of confusion at the moment, he was a little unconfident after being told by his son, and the tone of the conversation with him brought up, "Now it's Omi, what do you say!"

"Although it is Omi now, father must not forget that the army of the Tokugawa Uchifu was ordered to return and disband."

What Sugihara Nagabo said was that not long after everyone entered Omi, Osaka sent Masuda Nagamori to welcome them when they stayed in Kita Omi Nagahama, and at the same time asked Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Tokugawa Army under his command to return directly and disband.

As for the troops under Hideji's account at the beginning, the major names in Hokuriku had already been directly disbanded in Hokuriku, and the daimyo forces in other regions were required to hand over the banner of Toyotomi's family to Tango to bring back their skills.

"What's the matter? This is Omi, the center of the Toyotomi family! Surrounded by the Toyotomi banner, do you think you can escape?"

"This is Lake Biwa. Let's take a boat to Otsu, which is the territory of His Royal Highness Youfu's son. His Highness Youfu is familiar with you, and you can seek their protection. Then go to Tango via the mountain city, and return to Etchu by boat from Tango! "

"Tango? That's the territory of the Hosokawa Palace." Hearing Sugihara Nagamasa's suggestion, Asano Nagamasa finally calmed down and agreed, "Yes, yes. The Tango Hosokawa family also participated in this battle with more than 3000 people. His attendant Hosokawa must also be on the list, I will go find him and let him go with me!"

Sugihara Nagabo actually wants to say that if more people know about such secret things, they will not be able to escape, but Asano Nagamasa believes that returning to Tango requires the help of the Hosokawa family, and this matter must be pulled They go together.

When Asano Nagamasa saw Hosokawa Tadaki, he told him exactly what he was thinking. Hosokawa Tadaki turned pale when he knew it, and immediately said that he would wait for Asano Nagamasa's signal to leave together.

But after Asano Nagamasa left, the smile on Hosokawa Tadake's face gradually faded, and he had a different idea.

Hosokawa Taduki directly told Ono Nagaharu about Asano Nagamasa's idea of ​​escaping that night.

He didn't even communicate with Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had promised to keep him. Ono Nagaji was very angry when he found out, and immediately sent Toyotomi Banner to block Asano Nagamasa's official residence.But it came to nothing.

It turned out that after Hosokawa Tadake and Asano Nagamasa finished spying, his retainer Kentaro Otake asked him if he wanted to send someone to notify the family in advance.

Hosokawa Tadake laughed and said, "Escape? So what if you escape back? Don't the Toyotomi family's army come to attack? I'm going to use this news to make a fortune now!"

Tadake Hosokawa wanted to gain wealth by selling out his colleagues based on the news, so his retainers naturally had the same idea.

This Otake Kentaro was the target of Hideka's ninja army who had infiltrated a long time ago, but there is no online person to contact him right now, so he could only take the risk of telling Asano Nagamasa who had just returned to his house the news that Hosokawa Tadakashi went to Ono Nagaharu overnight.

Asano Nagamasa immediately understood that he had been betrayed by Hosokawa Tadakashi, and even the daimyos such as Hori Hideji and Sakuma had no time to contact, so before the defenders in the castle could react, Toyotomi Banners were still afraid of his identity. Chance fled overnight.

In order to confuse Ono Changzhi, more than a dozen retainers voluntarily stayed to serve as bait to delay Ono Changzhi.

When Tadakashi Hosokawa finished reporting to Nagaji Ono and led people to surround him, the retainers of Asano Nagamasa who stayed behind desperately resisted, and the two sides fought directly in Hachimanyama Castle until everyone who stayed behind died in battle.

The battle in the city naturally caused chaos. Facts have proved that Changji Ohno is not a talent to lead the army, and even the small matter of surrounding people can make mistakes.

Although the Kyushu daimyo Fukushima Masanori received the guarantee of Tokugawa Ieyasu, he did not fully trust Tokugawa Ieyasu.He thought it was Omi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Osaka finally showed their feet and were ready to fight, and immediately brought his retainers to join the battle.

Things got worse and worse. Kaga daimyo Sakuma Morimsa thought that Osaka was going to attack them, led people to resist desperately, and directly joined forces with Toyotomi Banner who came to besiege.

In the end, the two daimyos died in Hachimanyama Castle with Sakuma Shengzheng, and Fukushima was injured and captured.

The killing of these two people is justified in the end, and it is really wronged to be able to ascend the daimyo Hideji Hori.When he escaped from the mansion and tried to flee to the Tokugawa family's mansion, Toyotomi Hamoto who was on the way was also regarded as beheaded.

When the injured Masanori Fukushima and the heads of the two daimyos were delivered to Ieyasu Tokugawa Honmaru, the old tortoise was almost out of breath.He knew very well in his heart that it might be impossible to resolve the mess left by Xiu Ci peacefully.

If all of these were accidents, nothing caught him the most than Chacha and Xiusheng.

Although he has written to Osaka many times, he wants Chacha to wait for himself and Uesugi Jingsheng to return to Osaka before making a decision on what to do.

But before he entered the mountain city, he heard the news that Xiuji was going to be executed in Liutiaoheyuan.Even if he sent his own attendants to stop him quickly, what he was waiting for was the reply "Zuo Fu has been executed".

Seeing the faltering of the retainers who came to report, Tokugawa Ieyasu pressed him and asked, "Any more news?"

The attendant then confided to his lord, "The person in charge of the execution is the Echizen Councilor. He."

"Tell me, what happened to the Echizen Council!"

"He didn't even let go of his own nephew. All the male descendants of His Royal Highness Zuofu were beheaded together with Jizao in Liutiaoheyuan!"
