Late at night on June 10, the tenth year of Tianzheng (1582).

Amano Jingtoku's seppuku temporarily alleviated the impact of the coup on the Yuqiu family and the anger of the victims, relatives and friends. However, Maple Leaf Mountain City did not have time to mourn this catastrophe. Everyone understood that the Yuqiu family had made

Such a thing is tantamount to breaking with the Oda family, and the Oda family's crusade is coming soon. Maple Leaf Mountain Castle is located in the northeastern part of the Uaki family's territory, and is also an important town bordering the Oda family. The world's army and troops are currently gathered in Kinki.

The total number of troops under the direct control of Oda Nobunaga is close to 400,000, but there are only 1,200 soldiers from Nirvana in Maple Leaf Mountain Castle. If you are not careful, the Yuqiu family will suffer disaster.

Even the funerals of Amano Keitoku, Takenaka Shigeharu, Morita Heisho and other people who died in the turmoil did not have time to be properly arranged. Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu Yu had already followed the instructions in Amano Keitoku's suicide note.

The deployment was made. Yu Qiu Shang announced an amnesty for all the Military Intelligence Department members who participated in the coup of Amano Keitoku, and the ninja of Crow declared that whether he supported himself or Yu Qiu You, it was for the future of the Yu Qiu family, so he would not pursue the case and immediately gained military intelligence

With the support of Tsukasa and Crow, Masayuki Sanada established a new staff department with some elites from the Military Intelligence Department and the remaining staff members. Uchiha Aooka took over the duties of the Military Intelligence Department, while Yu Qiyu took over the responsibilities of Amano Keitoku.

He became the new leader of Crow. Many people close to Yu Qiu Shang questioned Yu Qiu You's loyalty, but Yu Qiu Shang forgave his brother for his coup and gave him full trust without reservation.

But Yu Qiuyou felt guilty in his heart, because he was hiding something from his brother, and this matter was even worse than the nature of his coup - at least according to Yu Qiu Shang's character. He blasphemed that night

Pregnant brother and wife, this is against human ethics. Yu Qiuyou didn't dare to admit it, nor did he dare to ask Yu Qiu Shang for forgiveness again. After calming down, Yu Qiuyou regretted his impulse at that time. If it hadn't been for that

How good should late passion be?

But what makes him feel a little lucky is that Chacha is also tight-lipped about this matter. Yu Qiuyou knows Chacha and knows that she is a very sensitive girl with low self-esteem and lack of love. She should be more afraid of being exposed to Yu Qiu Shang than Yu Qiuyou.

I know that she is afraid that her behavior and unclean body will make Yu Qiu Shang disgusted, and she is afraid of losing the hard-won love. But Cha Cha doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that this matter has never happened. This has always been what Yu Qiu You feels in his heart

A scar that made him extremely painful every time he thought about it.

This pain and guilt destroyed Yu Qiuyou's heart. He no longer thought that he was a good person. However, Yu Qiuyou felt that this was fine. It was the most appropriate thing for a dirty and bad person like himself to fall into the darkness.

.He can put aside all his burdens and reservations and do dirty things to atone for the sins he has committed.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the treatment of the prisoners in this battle.

Yu Qiuyou knew very well that Maple Leaf Mountain City's military strength was already stretched thin at the moment. Even if a letter was sent immediately requesting the Hongye Army to return, it would still take at least five days from loading and landing to returning to Kishiwada Port - and this was under the premise that the Hongye Fleet could not be blocked.

, it is another day from Kishiwada Port to Maple Leaf Mountain Castle. During these six days, Maple Leaf Mountain Castle needs to hold off the world's army with a meager force. Not a single soldier can be wasted. Naturally, there is no manpower to supervise these insiders of the Oda family, ninjas.

As a result, Yu Qiuyou went on a killing spree. Except for keeping valuable high-level ninjas to contact insiders for torture, he also killed thousands of other captured Oda family members.

In order to expand his troops as much as possible, Yu Qiuyou did not let go

After passing the leaderless small wealthy police force outside the city, he surveyed the public opinion of ordinary soldiers and found that most of them came under orders and had no position on the coup and had nothing to do with the Oda family. Among all the wealthy daimyo and them

After their cronies and Hatamoto were deceived into the city and imprisoned, these security forces did not know what to do. In this case, Yu Qiuyou felt that they could be used to defend the territory. This is what the security forces have been doing for more than ten years since their establishment.

Yu Qiuyou detained all the samurai in the security force who could gain territory through the coup as stakeholders - they were likely to be supporters of Oda Nobunaga's restoration order. Then Yu Qiuyu conducted an investigation and arrested

The remaining suspicious elements in the army who may be suspected of being connected to the Oda family and those who supported the coup. The remaining 4,000-odd security forces were disrupted and sent to Maple Leaf Mountain City, under the command of Yu Qiu Shang. Yu Qiu Shang returned

The long-suffering Takamasa Hatakeyama was invited, and this old guardian with high prestige in Kawachi, Izumi, and Kii was asked to lecture them and ask them to protect their hometown. Although Takamasa Hatakeyama was tortured to death by Amano Keitoku's temptation

, but for the sake of Yu Qiu Shang, he still held himself up and lectured one team at a time.

However, these 5,000 people alone cannot defend the huge city of Maple Leaf Mountain City. The Yu Qiu family still needs more people. So Yu Qiu Shang issued a recruitment order to all the leaders, recruiting veterans to return, and all training camps

All the new soldiers in the city were included in the battle queue, and Commander Tsuda and other small wealthy families who supported the Yuqiu family were asked to quickly bring people to Maple Leaf Mountain City. After this arrangement, the total force in the city may exceed 10,000 people, but it is still not enough. Maple Leaf

The long walls of the mountain city required a huge number of guardians. Yu Qiu Shang realized that he had to recruit the entire city's people to help in the battle, but it was extremely difficult to mobilize the people to go to the battlefield.

Compared with this, Yu Qiuyou was more worried about the issue of ordnance. Maybe the Yuqiu family could pull out enough troops, but people with bare hands would not be effective. Yu Qiuyou then ordered that all the Sakai merchants who entered the city be killed.

The houses were searched. Among them, Tachibana Matasaburo and Sueyoshi Sonshiro both ran arms yards. I believe they could seize a lot of ordnance. Yoshiya Sena called on all the factories in Sakai Town and Maple Leaf Mountain Castle to stop the production of all daily necessities, rush to produce all ordnance, and send them to

Lan Xiang, the head of the Military Industry Department in Maple Leaf Mountain City, worked overtime and led all the workers to start working like crazy.

After all these instructions were issued, it was already noon on June 11, the tenth year of Tensho (1582). At this time, the news that Oda Nobunaga requested all the armies from all over the world to jointly attack the Yuqiu family also reached Maple Leaf Mountain Castle.

Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he not only mobilized the 400,000 troops gathered in Azuchi and Kyoto to attack Maple Leaf Mountain Castle in a mighty manner, but also ordered the various Oda troops who were besieging the Maori family to immediately attack the Maple Leaf Army.

·

At noon on June 11, the tenth year of Tensho (1582), at the foot of Okayama Castle in Bizen Province, the samurai of the Oda family and the Uaki family gathered here finally received the news of the coup in Maple Leaf Mountain Castle a few days ago and the rain from Oda Nobunaga.

Autumn Expedition Order. When the news came, everyone was holding an evaluation meeting against the Maori family. The huge amount of information made everyone temporarily speechless, but everyone reacted quickly. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. As the highest person in charge participated in the meeting

Naoe Tadahira's position has also become awkward. If the Oda family samurai strictly followed Oda Nobunaga's orders, they should have swarmed up and captured Naoe Tadahira on the spot, but no one actually took action at the moment.

"What is Maple Leaf Mountain City doing? What is the Lord doing?

Huh?" Ikeda Hengxing felt like his head was about to explode in the past few days. He had never encountered such a troublesome situation in his life. "Maple Leaf Mountain City deceived the second son of Yuqiu from his lord, and then killed him with his backhand.

The lord sent troops to Maple Leaf Mountain City to support the second young master in seizing the throne... Oh my God, is that kid, the eldest young master, crazy? He dares to do this to the lord again and again, and this time there is definitely no good..."

"Can you now let the eldest and second lords...retreat and apologize?" Hashiba Hideyoshi was about to blurt out "seppuku", but he took it back abruptly, "Then you support the third lord who has no relationship with the lord.

, if you apologize well and cut off the land of the two countries, can you avoid this disaster?"

"The Oda Main Hall's Yuqiu conquest order has been issued, and it has been made public to all the daimyo in the world. It cannot be stopped because of this trivial matter." Chosougabe Motochin shattered everyone's illusion of reconciliation very realistically, "

There is no point anymore, the battle is inevitable."

"The Oda family has declared war on the Uqiu family, and the order from the Oda Palace is for your highnesses to take action against the Hongye Army immediately." Naoe Tadahei opened his mouth, breaking the topic that everyone was unwilling to touch, "Then what will your highnesses decide now?

"

"Is there really no room for maneuver?" Yoshiyuki Sawaki's throat was a little dry, he swallowed and sighed in a low voice.

"Your Highness Sawaki, do you think there is more?" Motochin, the Chosougabe, sneered angrily.

Just when the atmosphere in the tent became more and more solid, Kato Kiyomasa suddenly raised the tent door and said to Hashiba Hideyoshi: "Your Highness, there is something urgent, please come here immediately."

"No matter how big or small, what's the emergency?" Hashiba Hideyoshi paused, turned his head and cursed Kato Kiyomasa, "Don't you see that things are being discussed here?"

No one in the audience could see the expression of Hashiba Hideyoshi who turned his back. Only Kato Kiyomasa noticed the weird smile on Hashiba Hideyoshi's lips before he started to curse. But the matter was serious and he did not dare to say anything. Kato Kiyomasa looked at it

After noticing many outsiders in the tent, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, this is confidential. Can you report it privately?"

"At this time, do I have time to listen to your private report? If you want to say it, say it now. If you don't say it, get out!" Hideyoshi Hashiba waved his hand, pretending to hit Kato Kiyomasa. Kato Kiyomasa swallowed his saliva and had no choice but to bite the bullet and say

: "Your Highness, Lord Kuroda...oh no, Takataka Kuroda ran away to Mouri's house last night and spread rumors everywhere. He even sent a letter claiming to prove the rumors and said he wanted to show it to your highnesses!"

"What? Master Kuroda ran away?" Everyone in the tent was shocked when they heard this. Hashiba Hideyoshi was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, and he exaggeratedly shouted, "No wonder I haven't seen him all day.

What do you think he is studying?"

"What rumors are being spread?" Mori Kolong seemed to realize something and asked Kato Kiyomasa in a deep voice.

Kato Kiyomasa really didn't dare to say anything this time, but turned his attention to Hashiba Hideyoshi.

"What is it?" Hashiba Hideyoshi could no longer suppress the smile on his lips. He had to turn further to avoid being caught by his colleagues, but he continued to ask Kato Kiyomasa.

"Kuroda Dai, oh no, the rumors spread by Kuroda Takataka...Oda Daiden and Lin Xiuzhen secretly contacted him and asked him to mix gunpowder when casting the causeway and dam, and then used a patrol boat to load the gunpowder to detonate the dam.
