Honganji Temple surrounded the army's front line.
"Urgent report, Yuqiu Hongye may have rebelled, please be prepared, Your Highness."
Sakuma Nobumori was shocked when he heard the news from the envoy Kawajiri Hidetaka, "Do you have any basis for this?"
"The original document has been taken away by Mr. Ikeda in defiance of orders. There is only a transcribed version here." The messenger presented Yu Qiupei's letter, "Uqiu Momiji was found to be secretly communicating with the people of Yamato who were enemies of the Oda family. But before
, the Iga ninjas repeatedly attacked His Majesty the North's troops, but were indifferent to the Red Leaf Army. The Yamato wealthy family even unanimously demanded that the hostages be handed over to Amaqiu Hongye. There has been a connection between them for a long time, and it is already obvious. "
"The autumn autumn leaves are reversed...Kinki is in big trouble." Sakuma Nobumori felt his arms trembling, and looked in the direction of Kawachi, Izumi, and Kii with complex eyes, "My lord is really fooling around...again and again.
It's a good time to humiliate a retainer..."
At the same time, envoys from Kitano Nobuo, Kawajiri Hidetaka and others were also notifying all nearby important ministers.
"Your Highness Niwa, Uaki Momiji has most likely colluded with Matsuhisa Hide and the Iga ninjas and is about to rebel!"
"Your Highness Kobe, please send reinforcements to Iga quickly! Once the rain and autumn leaves turn around, Your Highness Bei will be in danger!"
"Young Master, something bad is going on, there are changes in Kinki!"
"Your Majesty Shibata, please stop attacking Oyama Gobo and retreat! Amaki Momiji may rebel!"
"His Majesty Akechi, this is bad! His Majesty Momiji is very likely to collude with Matsunaga Hide to rebel!"
Of course, the ninja will not miss the most critical link.
In Kyoto, in Honnoji Temple, Oda Nobunaga was watching the game between two chess players, while listening to Kitano Nobuo's urgent ninja report:
"Lord! The evidence is conclusive. Yuqiu Hongye has colluded with Matsu Nagahide, and the Iga ninjas are going to rebel! Please make a decision early, my lord, and issue a military order immediately, and take over the Yuqiu family's territory before Yuqiu Hongye rebels!"
September 27, at the foot of Haruhara Castle in southern Yamato.
Tokiwabei had already retreated to the camp of the Hongye Army not long ago, because the hostility of the Northern Army towards them was too obvious to hide. However, the defeated Yamato people were still running towards Yu Qiupei in a swarm, as if they wanted to seek help.
She was so sheltered that Yu Qiuping couldn't explain clearly. Yu Qiuping didn't know about the so-called secret letter at all, so he didn't understand why Bei Nobuxiong suddenly acted hostile towards him, and he didn't know why Yuqiu Hongye colluded with Matsu Nagahide to rebel.
The rumors spread more and more widely. He originally wanted to personally eliminate those Yamato people to prove his innocence, but Yuezhi Jiazeng took in those Yamato people.
The Ochi family did not rebel from the Oda family, and had always stood by the Oda family. Yu Qiupei had no reason to attack him. The Ochi family repeatedly wrote to Yu Qiupei, stating that everything was a misunderstanding and asking him not to attack the Yamato people.
However, their frequent correspondence seemed to Bei Nobuo to be communicating for rebellion.
Kobe Nobutaka, Takigawa Kazumasu and others led the reinforcements of the Oda family in Ise and rushed to the territory of Yamato. They joined Kitano Nobuo and formed a vague siege on Yu Qiupei. Yu Qiupei sent countless envoys to try to communicate, but all in vain
, the last messenger was even beheaded by Bei Nobuxiong, and his head was hung at the gate.
"What are all these things..." Yu Qiuping felt that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, "Matsu Nagasaki... what's going on?
Step by step, you discredit me like this."
"Your Highness, please immediately go and see Oda-den alone. Only in this way can you prove your innocence. Otherwise, you will be in a dilemma like His Highness Araki." Even in such an environment, Takenaka Shigeharu did not panic and insisted on what he thought was the right approach.
.
"Oda-den must be suspicious of His Highness at this moment. Wouldn't this be a sheep in the tiger's mouth? What should we do if Oda-den executes His Highness?" Amano Keitoku dismissed Takenaka Shigeharu's proposal and asked coldly.
He said, "Oda-den has done so many excessive things to His Highness before, I must be feeling embarrassed in my heart."
"No, the Yuqiu family is the No. 1 family in the Oda family and plays an important role in Kinki. Without conclusive evidence, you will not execute important ministers just by catching wind and shadow. Otherwise, there will be chaos in Kinki." Takenaka Shigeharu clenched his fists confidently and stared.
Amano Keide's face said, "If you don't go now, it will really be hard to come back."
"Even if he is not executed, the Oda Palace will most likely seize His Highness as a hostage, and then [ Update soon] will be divided and disintegrated, weakening and infiltrating the Yuqiu family. By then, there will really be nothing we can do." Amano Keitoku seemed to have already thought in his mind.
He paid attention and said meaningfully, "It is better to be self-reliant than to let the mermaids become flesh. Now that we have a large army and foreign aid at our side, we can do whatever we want. Why should we place our hopes on the sanity of Oda-dou Hall?"
"Crow, what do you mean?" Takenaka Shigeharu heard the hidden meaning of Amano Keitoku's words and asked in a deep voice.
At this moment, Mori Koron at the door suddenly ran in in a hurry and said to Yu Qiuping: "Your Highness! Mr. Ikeda is asking to see you alone!"
"Hengxing?" Yu Qiuping was surprised and happy when he heard this. He suddenly stood up from his seat, "Let him come over quickly! Immediately!"
Before Mori Koron could turn around and go back, he saw Ikeda Hengxing rushing in menacingly. He opened the tent door, saw Yu Qiuping's figure, rushed forward with gleaming eyes, and raised the door fiercely with both hands.
He grabbed his collar and shouted at him: "Hongye, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Koron Mori and Taihei Asahina looked at each other, wondering whether they should go up and pull Ikeda Hengxing away. Yu Qiupei struggled for a long time with a red face before he was able to get away. In turn, he shouted with great resentment: "Where am I?"
Do you know what I'm up to? From the beginning to the end, it was Matsunagahide's alienation plot to frame me. But for some reason, the second son believed it and helped the enemy spread rumors of my rebellion in the Oda family! Tell me, are you guys the same?
Did you receive a messenger from the Second Young Master, saying that I had rebelled?"
"Stop talking about us, maybe the whole Oda family will know that you are going to collude with Matsunagahide to rebel." Ikeda Hengxing punched Yu Qiuping's chest hard and cursed: "Look what you are doing.
What are you talking about! You know, I am probably the only one in the Oda family who believes that you are not treasonous! Can't you be more careful!"
"What happened to me? Everyone believed the divorce plan, how can you blame me?" Yu Qiuping himself was also bitter, and he felt even more aggrieved by being scolded by Ikeda Hengxing.
"You have the nerve to say that? Look what this is?" Ikeda Hengxing took out Yu Qiuping's letter from his arms, almost pressed it on Yu Qiuping's face and shook it hard, "I know this is
What? The Second Young Master found this from the camp of the people of the Yamato Kingdom! The people of the Yamato Kingdom have already rebelled against the Second Young Master, and they have already taken action against the Second Young Master. You still write a private letter to apologize to them?
"What? When did I write a letter to the people of Yamato?" Yu Qiuping disapprovedly thought that this was another letter fabricated by Matsuzaki Nagahide to create a wedge. However, he glanced at the piece of paper and was instantly stunned. It was indeed his own.
Sign and stamp.
"this…"
"Look? You have nothing to say, right? I know you don't want the wealthy family you managed to control to be killed by the Second Young Master, and you also know that the Second Young Master is doing this, but do you know! The rumors are so powerful in the first place, and you are here
At the cusp of the storm, there are so many strange actions, and you are still writing letters to the enemy at this time, you are really..." Upon seeing this, Ikeda Hengxing immediately began to talk non-stop, but did not notice that Yu Qiuping's face became more and more solemn.
"Ranwan, please bring my official records and check them." Yu Qiuping waved to Mori Ranmaru, who immediately rummaged through a pile of documents. When Yu Qiuping went on an expedition, all military orders would be issued by
Mori Ranmaru wrote a backup copy for future search. After a while, Mori Ranmaru held out a large pile of paper and whispered: "Your Highness, here it is."
Yu Qiuping immediately pulled Ikeda Hengxing, took the letter paper, and went to the desk to search. After a while, Yu Qiuping found the record of the words on the letter paper: "The misunderstanding and conflict caused by His Highness Bei,
I will definitely try my best to stop it. I deeply apologize for the damage caused. All troubles will be properly resolved later. Please be patient for the time being and refrain from any further hostile acts."
"Look, isn't this what you wrote?" Ikeda Hengxing immediately pointed at this page of records and shouted to Yu Qiuping, "Why have you been plowing through it for so long?"
Yu Qiuping's face was already livid at this moment, he pursed his lips and shook his head, then smiled bitterly at Ikeda Hengxing and said: "Go ahead and read this letter completely to see who this letter is written to."
.”
Ikeda Hengxing flipped forward a few pages without knowing what was going on. Those pages were the front part of the letter, and then he discovered that there were a few large characters written at the front of the letter: To the Ninjas of Iga.
"Look at the date again." Yu Qiuping reminded again.
Ikeda Hengxing's eyes searched the records for a while, then he was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "This is the letter you wrote to the Iga ninja when... the second young master just had a conflict with the Iga ninja, hoping that they
Don’t you want to be our enemy?”
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with the content of this letter. The problem is that the information that can distinguish the addressee from the ** is all in the first half of the letter, that is, it is all on the first few pieces of paper. The content of the last piece of paper
It just happened to be ambiguous, giving Matsunaga the opportunity to take advantage of it..." Yu Qiuping sighed helplessly, with a hint of helplessness in his expression, "And I am used to writing the time on the first page... so Matsunaga got it from the Iga ninja.
After writing this letter, I immediately felt that there was an opportunity, so I left only the last page of paper, and asked the second master to search the last piece of paper from the camp of the Yamato people, and take it out of context to confuse the public...
Let you mistakenly think that this letter is written by me to the people of Yamato."
"It turns out..." Ikeda Tsuneaki, who suddenly realized this, stamped his feet angrily and shouted loudly, "Matsuhisa Nagahide is so sinister that he actually came up with such an idea!"
"Let's go, come with me to see the lord." Ikeda Hengxing grabbed Yu Qiuping's hand, "The whole Oda family thinks you are going to rebel, and the lord may issue an order to attack you! If you don't,
Once you explain it clearly, it’s done!”
