When Imagawa Kaede was speechless for a moment, Takenaka Shigeharu spoke again: "Red leaves!"
"Hanbei, do you have anything else to say?" Yu Qiupei looked directly at Takenaka Shigeharu without fear, "Have I not made it very clear that I have never been loyal to the Oda family, and I am here just for revenge.
!”
"Momiji, you have to think clearly." Takenaka Shigeharu took a deep breath and tried to whisper in as calm a tone as possible: "If you want to rebel, not only Oda-den and Maeda-sama will die.
Ikeda-sama and those people."
"Ten thousand people of the Oda family are trapped on the north bank. The morale of the army is in chaos and there is no food and grass outside. If your highnesses from Nishimeno take the opportunity to attack, countless people may flee in panic and drown." Takenaka Shigeharu paused and continued to whisper sadly:
"It's not just those armies! The entire Owari and Mino will be involved in the war! Indeed, if you follow Momiji's plan, you may indeed be able to defeat so many empty castles in Owari without a fight, but after that
What? When all the samurai, wealthy families, and common people in Owari understand the truth of the matter and know that it was you who brazenly conspired to kill Oda Nobunaga and their family head, do you think they will let you go? You are an outsider to begin with.
The foundation of being reduced to a general is not stable, and coupled with the identity of a Ming countryman, it is impossible for Owari to sit firmly!"
"When that time comes, how can you resist the resistance of all the powerful Owari samurai with the more than a thousand people in your hands? When they see that you are not strong, they will definitely rise up; the surrounding forces will not just sit back and watch the Owari civil strife, but
They will take the opportunity to invade and get a piece of the pie. The entire Owari will fall into endless turmoil and war. I don’t know how many people will die before they can be unified again!"
"Is this what you want to see in red leaves?" Takenaka Shigeharu became more and more excited as he spoke. He could no longer suppress his emotions. He put his hands on the table and shouted at Yu Qiuping: "This is what you want to do for your own personal revenge."
Are you going to drag tens of thousands of people into dire straits for your own personal vendetta?"
"Your Excellency, please shut up." Before Yu Qiuping could reply, Amano Kyoutori coldly interrupted Takenaka Shigeharu's roar, and said in a deep voice with some anger: "You are not a retainer of the Yu Qiu family, you are just a retainer.
His Highness is just a teacher for his children. What does the matter about Yuqiu's family have to do with you?"
"You crow! Did you instigate Momiji to make such a decision?" Takenaka Shigeharu scolded unceremoniously. It was okay that Amano Keitoku didn't speak, but when he spoke, Takenaka Shigeharu was immediately
The anger was attracted to him. Facing Takenaka Shigeharu's almost cannibalistic gaze, Amano Keitoku looked at him coldly without changing his expression.
"Hongye, this is really too...dangerous!" Toshi Sena, who was on the side, also felt that something was wrong. "Even if Hongye really wanted to avenge His Highness the House Governor, he could still choose to use assassins to kill these people without anyone noticing.
Come on! You don’t have to get into trouble and involve the Yuqiu family in the war!"
"Lord Sena makes sense, but Oda Nobunaga has many ninja guards and is heavily guarded. Our Military Intelligence Department tried many times but failed to find the opportunity to assassinate." Sanada Masayuki sighed and added in a low voice: "
If you want to assassinate him, you can only mobilize a large army to besiege him, otherwise you will have no chance."
"There is no room for it..." Uji Sena still couldn't bear it, "No matter what, there is no need to use such a sinister strategy! You will be punished by God!"
"The arrow is on the string, we have to." Sanada Masayuki answered Sena Uji, "We mixed gunpowder into the castle tower of Sumamata Castle, and the veterans of Tokiwabei were involved. And we planned to use the castle tower to blow up Oda.
Many ninjas are now aware of Nobunaga's news. If you don't take action at this moment, you will inevitably have long nights and dreams. If someone informs you or Sumamata Castle is transferred to others, there is a risk that the plan will be leaked. By then Oda Shin
If we strike first and gain the upper hand, we will be doomed."
"Is that so..." Sena Uji's Adam's apple squirmed violently, and his face turned pale. He lowered his head and stopped talking.
·
Seeing that Sena Shiyoshi, who originally had the same opinion as him, stopped talking, Takenaka Shigeharu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He didn't want to see his close friend do such an outrageous thing.
"Red leaves!" Takenaka Shigeharu's tone this time was close to pleading. He no longer reasoned, but whispered: "Do you still remember the conversation we had with Nagamasa under the stars?"
Yu Qiuping was startled when he heard this, and his eyes that were extremely firm just now were slightly shaken.
"Your Majesty, please shut up!" Amano Jingde saw that Yu Qiuping seemed a little shaken, and immediately shouted sharply at Takenaka Shigeharu. However, to his surprise, Yu Qiuping quietly waved his hand towards him, and then moved towards him.
Takenaka Shigeharu nodded and motioned for Takenaka Shigeharu to continue. Takenaka Shigeharu was stunned for a moment, tears started to flash in his eyes, and he continued in a low voice:
"Hongye, you said that the world is constantly repeating the cycle of chaos. The old regime is decayed and dark, and the new regime uses the cruel methods of killing and war to overcome the superior and establish a new regime. And when this regime decays again, it will
A new regime will rise up to overthrow it."
"You said that every new dynasty is established by using dark means. In order to win, the overlords will not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of countless innocent people, use dark and dirty methods, and not hesitate to avenge their relatives. And the dynasty
The process of its establishment was written down into history and passed down orally. The dark memory was passed on to future generations, casting a dark shadow over the world!"
"You said that when the old dynasty encountered a crisis and fell into troubled times, most of the heroes and heroes did not think about how to use justice to rectify the world and save the crisis. Instead, they thought about using dark means to defeat the people like their predecessors.
The enemy overthrew the previous dynasty and replaced it, first causing chaos and then governing, and unified the world. This has been true from generation to generation."
"You said that the root of the cycle of chaos is that every time the advent of chaos is achieved through dark fighting and killing, rather than light and righteousness! When future generations seek to govern the world again, they will naturally use iron to fight against it.
They tried to establish a new political power by resorting to bloody means, thus plunging the world into war."
"You said that in the cycle of chaos, the long-lasting unity will lead to division and long-lasting division. However, every change of dynasty will bring endless disasters to the people. Hundreds of bones are exposed in the wilderness, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles. However, every person who unifies the country will bring endless disasters to the people.
Heroes only think about how to defeat the enemy and establish their own dynasty and temporarily bring peace to the people. But they never think about how to end this cycle of chaos and permanently end the suffering of the people."
Takenaka Shigeharu's tearful confessions made Yu Qiuping's eyes turn red.
"What's the difference between the rebellion you want, the explosions you want, the war you want, these cruel methods full of blood, darkness and killing, and the overlords you condemn? If you are not repeating the cycle of chaos, what are you doing? Damn you
How can you convince the public when you use conspiracy and killing to gain power? Even if you succeed, sooner or later someone will use conspiracy and killing to seize Owari again and overthrow the Yu Qiu family!" Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and looked at Yu Qiupei.
"You said that you wanted to be the one who ended the cycle of chaos," Takenaka Shigeharu chuckled, tears actually falling down the man's face, "you said that you would rely on light and justice to rectify the world and bring peace to the people of the world.
No more suffering.”
"And now, now!" Takenaka Shigeharu paused, and sighed in an extremely disappointed and ridiculous voice: "The man who vowed to give the people peace back then wants to take away the hard-won peace with his own hands.
Go and push the world into the abyss of the cycle of chaos again."
·
"Yes, Hanbei, you are right." Yu Qiuping laughed at himself and shook his head helplessly.
"Am I not becoming the kind of person I once hated? Those people use whatever means to achieve their goals, do not care about the lives of soldiers and civilians, and wantonly use conspiracy and killing to fulfill their wishes. And now I am
What's the difference between what he did and what they did?"
"Back then, I was still too young and too naive." Yu Qiuping recalled his youthful appearance nearly ten years ago, that naive and kind-hearted person who always wanted to rectify the world. He had mixed feelings for a while, "I can't stand it.
Washed by the troubled times, I surrendered to the darkness."
"Okay, even if I have become like this," Yu Qiuping wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and whispered in a sad tone: "Who among you is willing to follow me? If you want to leave, you can leave immediately
, I will never pursue it."
"Wherever Your Highness goes, I will follow you." Naoe Tadahira, who had been silent all this time, was the first to speak. His tone was so firm and unwavering, "The only thing left for me in this life is to follow Your Highness.
Something.”
"I swear to follow His Highness to the death and never waver." Amano Keide also said coldly.
"Your Highness led me with trust, and I will repay Your Highness with loyalty." Sanada Masayuki cupped his hands towards Yu Qiuping and whispered firmly.
"Although I don't support Hongye's rebellion..." When it was Sena Shiyoshi's turn to speak, the latter took a deep breath and whispered with great difficulty: "But after so many years, I see you still treat the deceased
The grudge of His Highness the Governor is at heart...I will follow you, but I just hope you will not do such a thing again in the future."
After the four of them finished speaking, the room became quiet. Takenaka Shigeharu and Imagawa Kaede both lowered their heads and remained silent. Yu Qiuping felt a pain in his heart, but still pretended to be indifferent and whispered: "What about you?"
"Hongye." Takenaka Shigeharu looked at Yu Qiuping with eyes full of disappointment, and shook his head helplessly, "If we don't agree with each other, I can only say goodbye to you."
"No one wants something like this to happen." Even though Yu Qiuping felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face.
"It's just a pity that I can no longer teach the eldest son." Takenaka Shigeharu sighed, and whispered in a lonely voice: "That child is a good person, very kind, and has a compassionate heart."
"The same red leaves as before."
After hearing these extremely disappointing words from Takenaka Shigeharu, the tears that Yu Qiuping had just wiped away suddenly burst out again. He suppressed his grief and moved his eyes in the direction of Imagawa Kaede, but suddenly stopped midway.
"Feng'er, what about you?" When Yu Qiuping asked this question, his voice was already trembling. He did not dare to look into Imagawa Feng's eyes, or even listen to Imagawa Feng's answer.
After Yu Qiuping asked this question, he could feel the body of Imakawa Kaede sitting next to him shaking violently. After a moment, a low sob sounded from his side.
"I'm sorry...Ping." Imagawa Kaede's voice was so weak and helpless, "This may be the last time I call you Ping..."
"I don't like you like this anymore."
