Volume 7 Jiangnan Green Looking Maple Red Chapter 1006 Conspiracy
At this time, due to the complete blockade of intelligence, the Red Leaf Army on the front line still knew nothing about what happened in Maple Leaf Mountain City, but continued to desperately search for the whereabouts of Yu Qiupei and Honda Tadakatsu. However, their persistent efforts were not in vain.
, after several days of searching along the trajectory of Honda Tadakatsu, the search team led by Naoe Nobuira made a huge breakthrough.
In the early morning of June 10, the tenth year of Tensho (1582), Naoe Nobuhira, who was searching by a river on the southern coast of Bizen Province, suddenly felt his eyes being dazzled by light several times. He didn't take it seriously at first, but after walking out for a few
Ten meters later, the more he thought about it, the stranger he became. How could he be shaken when his back was to the rising sun? So Naoe Nobuei led his team back and came to the river again. From the land on both sides,
Judging from the level of moisture and the many washed branches and gravel, this area was also affected by floods from upstream.
"Sir, there must have been a team here before, and they even picked up a few corpses and left." A deputy from Naoe Touhei pointed to a sign hanging on a tree not far away, with the search information and search results of this place engraved on it.
Time - In order to avoid repeated searches, the Red Leaf Army's search team will leave a mark after completing an investigation to remind subsequent people.
"Is that so..." Naoe Nobuei nodded slightly in disappointment, but still didn't give up. He walked back to the place where he remembered he was shaken just now, and imitated the walking posture at that time - and then he was surprised
Suddenly he realized that he was dazzled by the light again. He looked intently towards the place where the light came from, and found a faint reflective point in the middle of the river.
"Quick, call a bamboo raft team over!" Naoe Nobuhira waved hastily, and his men immediately rode their horses and rushed south. After a while, a search team paddling a bamboo raft was brought from the seaside, and the leader was
Mori Ranmaru.
Naoe Touhei jumped on Mori Ranmaru's bamboo raft and directed them to row towards the reflective point in the middle of the river. After getting closer, he realized that it was just an ordinary reef. Mori Ranmaru was about to return, but Naoe Touhei
However, Ping stubbornly asked them to get closer. Mori Ranmaru couldn't convince him, so he complied. When they got a little closer to the reef, everyone opened their mouths in surprise - it was not the reef that reflected the light, but the reef.
It's a rib stuck on the reef.
Without hesitation, everyone speeded up the slide and finally reached the edge of the reef. They saw a rib stuck alone on the rock. Just when everyone was wondering why there was a rib here, Mori Ranmaru suddenly exclaimed -
—
"This is the captain's fault!"
·
After Honda Tadakatsu's ribs were discovered, the Hongye Army concentrated all its efforts to search the nearby waters, and finally found Honda Tadakatsu's body at the bottom of the water downstream. The entire army immediately fell into grief, and many soldiers
They all burst into tears, mourning the passing of the strongest warrior of the Warring States Period.
What shocked everyone even more was the wound on Honda Tadakatsu’s body. The palm of his left hand was so tragic that it was unbearable to look at, with bones and flesh blurred together. The outer part of the palm was directly penetrated, and then deeply
A gash was opened in the ground, and the entire finger was torn from the gap between the index finger and thumb. Honda Tadakatsu was also shot in the left chest, and the projectile was deeply embedded in the body and hit the heart.
It was this shot that took the life of this fierce general who had never been injured in his military life.
exist
The people present were all experienced samurai, and it didn't take long to figure out everything that happened at the scene. After Honda Tadakatsu was shot in the water, for some reason he stubbornly stuck his hand on the rock with his ribs.
"There is no reason for the captain to do such a thing..." Mori Ranmaru looked at Honda Tadakatsu's unrecognizable body and murmured in a low voice, "Unless the captain who can't swim wants to protect someone from the current
Only if he washed away would he do something like nail his body on the rocks..."
"There is only one person who can make the captain do this and still protect him." Asahina Taihei whispered the heavy truth that everyone knew, "The fatal gunshot wound on the captain... someone is chasing His Highness and
Captain..."
"I feel that something is fishy. Someone must have murdered me..." Naoe Nobuei realized that his suspicion was finally confirmed, his voice was so angry that his voice was trembling.
"Continue the search!" Naoe Tadayei, whose eyes were completely red, shouted to all the search team members, "Don't let go of any clues! We must find out the death of His Highness!"

At noon on June 10, the tenth year of Tianzheng (1582), outside Maple Mountain City, Nirvana Bei was still circling the city, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Although I didn’t know what was going on in Maple Leaf Mountain City, I had no idea what was happening in Maple Leaf Mountain City.
There is no doubt that there must be changes in the city - and it does not seem to be under Yu Qiu Shang's control, otherwise there would be no reason for him to lock his Nirvana Bei outside the city, right? Unless Yu Qiu Shang suspects that there is something in Nirvana Bei
Traitors, that’s why Nirvana Bei is not allowed to enter the city - but Mouri Takashi and others know that they are definitely not traitors. However, no matter how many times they begged and tried hard and soft, the guards on the city were not accommodating. In desperation, Maori
Takashi has arranged for Nirvana Bei's auxiliary troops to cut down the trees outside the south gate of Maple Leaf Mountain City and build siege equipment in order to prepare for a forcible assault on the city when necessary.
However, before the auxiliary soldiers could officially start work, billowing smoke and dust appeared in the south. Maori Takashi immediately became vigilant and arranged for Tan Ma to go for reconnaissance. While Tan Ma rushed back, the flag of the people coming from the south was also revealed -
—Those are the security forces from Hanoi and Izumi. A little further behind them, there are also security forces from Kii, with a total number of about 5,000 people.
"They are all the flags of those small wealthy families who are making trouble." After Enomoto Chutaka counted the flags, he whispered to Mouri Takashi worriedly, "They had to return to military power and return to their own territory after the death of their former lord.
Supporting the troops and respecting themselves, many people even drove away the acting officials and judges sent by the Yuqiu family."
"Come here at this time...what do they want to do?" Takashi Mouri's eyes were fixed on the flags of the small wealthy families, and countless thoughts passed through his mind, "They came together, obviously colluded...to take advantage of
Is there any time Maple Leaf Mountain City is in turmoil and we can seize the city?"
"Don't let them get close to Maple Mountain Castle!" Takashi Mouri didn't hesitate much. He immediately ordered the other two company commanders as the highest-ranking military officer, "We can't figure out what's going on inside the city, but it's very clear outside the city.
Ah! These soldiers from the small wealthy clan are obviously not good people. They are not allowed to enter the city! Set up a blockade! If they force their way in, we will attack! I will bear all the responsibilities! Don't worry, everyone!"
After receiving the order, the Nirvana soldiers, who had been very agitated for a long time, all
Without saying a word, they immediately lined up on the plain, opened up a huge blockade formation, and stood in front of the small wealthy troops. The guard troops tried to squeeze through at first, but the Nirvana soldiers did not hesitate.
He stabbed with his gun, frightening these small wealthy people who had been away from the battle line for a long time, and they had to retreat a little bit in despair. They had no choice but to send someone to contact Amano Kyoutori in the city and ask him for help. What should be done next?
What should I do? Amano Keitoku's reply came quickly - if there is no way to get the Ashigaru out of Nirvana Bei's entanglement, please ask the daimyo of each small wealthy family to take a detour with their trusted guards and Hatamoto knights and enter through the north gate of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle.
Amano Keitoku would open the door for them. Amano Keitoku also told them an important piece of information: Nirvana Bei's cavalry had not followed Nirvana Bei's infantry out of the city before, and had been completely wiped out in the battle to guard the castle tower in the city, so Nirvana Bei's cavalry
Bei did not have the ability to intercept the cavalry of the small nobles.
The wealthy families who heard the news were relieved. Nakajima Takamoto, Sato Shinsaburo, Tanaka Masashige, Ono Itamaru, Dohashi Shigeharu and other wealthy families immediately took all their mounted ministers, guards, and Hatamoto to bypass the position.
, and walked carelessly towards the north gate in front of Nirvana Bei. Even if Nirvana Bei immediately sent people to chase him, two legs could not outrun four legs. He could only watch them walk away from the suspension bridge of the north gate.
Enter the city.
·
"Lord Amano!" Under the guidance of ninjas, the wealthy families who entered the city came all the way to Nancheng and found Amano Keidei who contacted them. "What's the situation now?"
"Thank you all for coming to support me. Please send people to Nancheng immediately to carry out the search. Time is running out." Amano Kyoude bowed to these wealthy families and then promised, "When the second young master succeeds to the throne, the Yuqiu family will be the leader.
At the request of Oda Main Hall, all your territories will be returned to you."
"Thank you so much, Your Excellency, and thank you to Oda-den and the Second Young Master!" After hearing the promise, all the wealthy people's faces were filled with glory, and they were so happy that they rushed from ear to ear to the residential area of Nancheng. And Sakai Town
The merchants have already sent people to assist in the search in Nancheng, but what they need is not the promise of Amano Keitoku, but the exclusive rights to operate along the Seto Inland Sea coast promised by Oda Nobunaga - of course these
They will definitely not mention this matter to Amano Keide now.
Suddenly, with the help of thousands of people, the efficiency of the search work increased exponentially, and large areas of the city and streets were cleared. If Maple Leaf Mountain City was not such a terrifying giant city, it would have been searched from top to bottom long ago.
.The escaping ninjas who organized people's resistance on the front line were also found and captured one after another. In the end, even Yu Qiucen was not spared, and was captured and sent to Yu Qiuyou.
Yu Qiuyu saw the two Oda family insiders twisting Yu Qiucen's arms in a somewhat rude way, and suddenly became angry. He pointed at the two Oda family ninjas and shouted: "What are you doing?
?Let my sister go!"
However, the two Oda family ninjas didn't seem to agree with Yu Qiuyou's fault. They looked at each other and made no move. Instead, they looked around, trying to find their leading jounin and follow his instructions.
Seeing the painful expression on Yu Qiucen's face, Yu Qiuyou instantly became furious. He unceremoniously drew the knife in his hand, put the tip of the knife almost against the face of the Oda family ninja and shouted: "Let go of my sister! Don't you listen?
