Uesugi Yoshikage wondered why Fukushima Masanori didn't show up. In fact, Fukushima Masanori herself was also puzzled. At this moment, she had just received the order to stop the entire army and go back to Yodo City to attend the meeting.
Her army had just arrived at Yodo Bridge, which was only one mile away from Yodo City, and Tomi no Mori was only three or four miles away from Yodo Bridge.
Therefore, Inada Uemoto's fear was real. Even if Tominomori's ambush was successful, thousands of people would fight with great force, and it could be completely heard in Yodo City five or six miles away.
How long would it take for Ichijo Hideyoshi, who was stationed in Yodo Castle, to send people to investigate and then mobilize troops to support Masanori Fukushima who was ambushed in Tominomori?
Uesugi Yoshikage must quickly defeat Fukushima Masanori's army before reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, and then retreat calmly in advance, which is very difficult.
Although the probability of success in an ambush is very high, one should always be cautious in everything.
You can't always think about how you arrange things, and treat your opponents as stupid NPCs who can only make one move. How many fools can really leave their name in history?
Yoshikage Uesugi was a girly girl, and Masanobu Kosaka hoped that his daughter would become a dragon. They both underestimated Hideyoshi Ichijo, the ruler of half the world.
On the contrary, Shiba Yiyin, who was in charge of Duowen Mountain City, kept his composure. The closer he got to victory, the more careful and thoughtful he had to be. He couldn't think that he would win just because he had a cheat, and Meng Lang would do bad things.
When Fukushima Masanori came to the meeting hall, the room was already filled with big bosses from various companies. She was surprised and stepped forward to salute Hideyoshi Ichijo who was sitting on the throne.
"See Lord, I'm back."
Ichijo Hideyoshi nodded and asked.
"Have your troops withdrawn?"
Fukushima Masanori nodded.
"According to the order you conveyed, we have withdrawn to the west of Yodo Bridge and are waiting for orders."
Ichijo Hideyoshi nodded, suddenly showing a hint of sadness.
"very good.
I didn’t expect...Xiao Liu would commit seppuku. She and I have known each other for many years...Oh, she did not let me down after all, she can stand up to me."
Fukushima Masanori's eyes widened and he spoke subconsciously.
"Hasuka Masakatsu-sama is dead?"
Ichijo Hideyoshi nodded and said.
"Some people are always smart, and they connect with each other underneath. They really think that I am blind and deaf, unable to see or hear.
There is a turbulent undercurrent in the Haizuka family, don't I know at all? Xiaoliu is not the only one in her family who is affectionate and righteous, there are still loyal people in the Wu family."
Ichijo Hideyoshi spoke slowly, and cold sweat broke out on the backs of many people sitting down. They thought it was not just the Hachisuka family.
Fukushima Masanori was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He bowed honestly and returned to his seat.
Ichijo Hideyoshi sighed a few words. She never expected that the Hachisuka family would unexpectedly catch a big fish after defeating the superiors. It was such an unexpected joy.
Maeda Toshiie kept writing letters to the Owari Mino samurai, instigating them to rebel. Ichijo Hideyoshi was not ignorant, but had already noticed it.
Hideyoshi Ichijo started out as a diplomat, and she used various methods to win over and incite rebellion to divide the enemy's army. These were the tricks she was good at.
What does a political power rely on to get started, and what should it be most wary of after it succeeds, such as Song Fangwu, Qing Fangwen, and a certain defense worker.
Ichijo Hideyoshi pretends not to know, just to unite more people, but it doesn't mean that she is so stupid that she doesn't keep an eye on each family and doesn't keep an eye on the changes in each family.
Xiaozhiqiao is less than twenty miles away from Yodo City, and there are people secretly rushing to report the news to Yodo City.
Uesugi Yoshikage thought that he would drive away the Hachisuka army first and let them be stained with the blood of their former colleagues as a testimonial, but he did not expect that his plan would be exposed to Ichijo Hideyoshi's informant.
Ichijo Hideyoshi received the news that the Hachisuka army had rebelled, and that Toba's departure from the palace was actually decided by Shiba Yoshigan's daughter. The young and frivolous girl was about to go south to ambush Fukushima Masanori, and he was overjoyed.
Otani Yoshitsugi of Fushimi Castle was as stubborn as a stone. No matter how Ichijo Hideyoshi tried to tempt him, he would stick to the defensive line and act as if he didn't see him.
Ichijo Hideyoshi was worried that he could not open a breakthrough. If he really wanted to hit Toba Fushimi's defense line, his losses would be too great.
At this moment, she happened to be dozing off when she dropped her pillow. When she discovered Uesugi Yoshikage's sudden advance, Ichijo Hideyoshi was immediately overjoyed. Three thousand Suga troops surrendered to the enemy, which turned out to be a great opportunity for her.
Ichijo Hideyoshi looked at the samurai who were sitting down with different expressions, and gave some pointers.
"I haven't finished yet, and everyone is already impatiently treating me as a dead bone in the grave, eager to step on me and flatter my new master.
Yoshikage Shiba... Haha... Even her father dared not look down on me so much. A little girl with a dirty mouth actually cares about me like this. She is simply looking for death.
I got definite news that the eldest daughter, the second daughter and the third daughter of Shiba Yigin are on their way to Tominomori with a team.
They intended to ambush Fukushima Masanori's troops, give me a show of strength, and use me as a stepping stone to build their prestige.
Okay, well done.
I'm worried that I won't be able to find a chance to have a good communication with Sibo Yiyin. His daughter is coming to my door. What else can I do? I can only be disrespectful."
Ichijo Hideyoshi looked at the ladies sitting there, thinking about how best to capture the three sisters Yoshikage Uesugi.
As long as three of them are captured, or even just one of them, Yoshigan Shiba will be unable to sit still in Tamonyama Castle, and Ichijo Hideyoshi will truly take the initiative in the war.
Scanning the scene, Ichijo Hideyoshi also knew that his subordinates were divided into pieces. Many of them had already been in secret with the Shiba family, and it was not just the Hachisuka family who wanted to break up.
The fact that Hachisuga Masakatsu was able to endure hara-kiri until the end was already worthy of Ichijo Hideyoshi. While Ichijo Hideyoshi was melancholy, he even dared not trust the old samurai who came from Mino Owari.
Especially since this trip involves Yoshigan Shiba's three daughters, Hideyoshi Ichichi is also worried that someone will secretly betray Yoshigan Shiba and show his kindness to Yoshigan Shiba, leaving a way out for his family.
If you want to choose people, you have to choose those hard-liners who will never make peace with the Shiba family. Only then will they cooperate with Ichijo Hideyoshi and capture the three divine sisters with all their heart.
Ichijo Hideyoshi first looked at Kobayakawa Takakage and asked politely.
"The Maori family is willing to be my pioneer, teach those arrogant and arrogant little girls of Sibo Yiyin a lesson, and bring them back to see me."
This time Ichijo Hideyoshi went to Raku, the Mori family gave full support, and more than 30,000 troops cooperated, but Kobayakawa Takakage only had 18,000 people.
The Maori family and the Nizi family are already mortal enemies. In recent years, for the war on the peninsula, the Maori family has owed a lot of debt to Shiba Tokura. Even Iwami Ginzan and Shimonoseki Pier were mortgaged in exchange for military supplies.
Once the Shiba family conquers the world, the Mori family will not be able to escape public or private disaster. Naturally, they will spare no effort to help Ichijo Hideyoshi against Yoshigan Shiba.
The hunt for the three divine sisters was so important that Hideyoshi Ichichi immediately thought of the Maori family, which had many soldiers and no way out.
