In the early morning of April 2, the tenth year of Yonglu (1567), at the head of Kurotian City in Yeli County.
Yu Qiupei was standing at the top of Kuroda Castle at this moment, looking at the Oda family's army slowly coming out of the military camp outside Kuroda Castle through the hazy light, approaching the Kiso River - that is where the Oda family gathered.
The first group of Kuroda Castle's 1,000-strong army to cross the river was led by Shibata Katsuie.
On the Kiso River, more than a dozen pontoon bridges have been built during this period, as well as several solid stone bridges for Mitsubishi caravans to pass on weekdays. With such a large number of bridges, it will not cost too much for the Oda family's army to cross the river.
time.
However, although the Shibata family's troops had already set foot on the pontoon, Yu Qiupei's eyes never left the horse seal in the military camp - the location of Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga had been living in Kuroda Castle for the past few days.
In the castle tower, Yu Qiupei and his family were expelled to the samurai house in Kuroda Castle. Although some samurai of the Yuqiu family were very dissatisfied with the master's overbearing behavior, Yu Qiupei secretly rejoiced that Oda Nobunaga's painting
This performance shows that even if he arrives in Sumamata Castle, he will definitely live in the castle tower of Sumamata Castle without any ceremony!
According to the plan, Oda Nobunaga's main army will cross the river following Shibata Katsuie's troops, and then stationed in Sumamata Castle to take over the jurisdiction of Sumamata Castle. Sumamata Castle is currently garrisoned by half of the Tokiwabi led by Naoe Tadayei.
After Shibata Katsuie arrives at Sumamata Castle, he will lead Tokiwabei back from the pontoon bridge and join forces with Yu Qiupei to prepare for the subsequent transportation of grain and grass.
After Oda Nobunaga, those who crossed the river were Sakuma Nobumori, Takigawa Kazumasu, Ikeda Tsuneki and many other retainers of the Oda family. After they all crossed the river, Ameakihei would serve as the leader of the entire army.
The rearguard escorted the army's supplies of food and grass across the river.
And Yu Qiuping's plan will also be launched at that time.
After receiving Oda Nobunaga's detailed plan to dispatch troops a few days ago, Ame Qiupei immediately discussed their own rebellion plan with Amano Keitoku, Naoe Tadayei, and Sanada Masayuki. After repeated consideration, their plan became increasingly perfect. First,
The plan has progressed to this point, and some of Yu Qiuping's close ninjas must also know about it (because one person is always needed to execute the plan to ignite and detonate the castle tower, and it is impossible for Yu Qiuping and others to do it personally). So Yu Qiuping
This plan was informed to Uchiha Aooka and several of his trusted brothers, and he ordered them to keep it strictly confidential.
After all the main forces of the Oda family have crossed the river, it is estimated that it will be afternoon or evening. If the crossing progress is too fast, Ame Akihei will find an excuse to delay and drag the time into the night. At this time, Oda Nobunaga will definitely not
Instead of staying outdoors, you will come to live in the castle tower of Sumamata Castle.
After confirming that Oda Nobunaga has entered the castle tower, Uchiha Aooka, who is staying in Sumamata Castle, will send someone to inform Yu Qiupei. After ensuring that everything is ready, Yu Qiupei will light a bonfire on the Kuroda Castle castle tower as a signal. Uchi
After Haomi Aooka saw the fire, he immediately sent ninjas to light and detonate the Sumamata castle castle tower. The explosion of the castle tower would definitely frighten the entire land of Nishimeno, and the Oda family's army would be in chaos. Ame Qiupei took advantage of this opportunity and immediately
Tokiwa Bei was sent to seize control of the floating bridge and stone bridge on the Kiso River, blow up the wooden bridge and stone bridge, and seize all the baggage of the Oda family's army left on the south bank. At the same time, Uchiha Aooka also wanted to lead the ninjas and take advantage of the opportunity of the Oda family.
When the Tian army was in chaos, they took the opportunity to set fire to a small amount of food and grass that the Oda family had transported to the north bank of the Kiso River.
After all the plans are completed, the Oda family's army will be in dire straits. Oda Nobunaga, his cronies and some of the family's senior officials will be bombed to death in the castle tower on the spot, and the Oda family's army will be helpless because of the loss of its commander.
.At the same time, because Yu Qiupei withheld all the supplies of food and grass transported to the north bank, the Oda family army that had crossed the river would not have enough food for more than three days - this was even if Uchiha Aooka failed to burn all the food and grass.
Without food and grass, the governor and important ministers were accidentally blown to death, and the retreating pontoon bridge was also cut off. The entire army would be trapped on the north bank of the Kiso River. Under such circumstances, the Oda family army would definitely fall into chaos. At this time, Yu Qiupei
He would send a letter to the Nishi Mino wealthy family, confessing his plan to them, expressing the desire of the alliance, and asking them to immediately send troops to defeat the Oda family's army on the north bank of the Kiso River. Ame Akihira would stick to the river bank and not let any of the Oda family go.
The troops fled back.
At the same time, Amakihei will also write to Matsudaira Ieyasu of Mikawa, explaining his plan to him. Amakihei will raise a rebellion flag, and then immediately attack the Oda family's deserted land in Owari. And Matsudaira Ieyasu
On the pretext of being an ally to help fight against the rebellion, he led his army into the southeast of Owari, took over a large amount of the Oda family's territory when no one in the Oda family made the decision, and met with Yu Qiupei in Qingzhou City to divide the Owari territory equally. Such a generous offer
With the conditions, coupled with the good relationship between Yu Qiupei and the Matsudaira family, Matsudaira Ieyasu will definitely not refuse. In order to grow the family, he can even play with the Imagawa family as the head family, so how can he miss being just an ally?
As for the Oda family, which has only been four years old. What's more, the Oda family and the Matsudaira family have been fighting each other for decades. It can be said to be a blood feud with no emotion at all.
One link after another, everything is settled. Now, all we have to do is wait for Oda Nobunaga to "enter the urn".
·
Just when Yu Qiuping was silently contemplating his plan, several calls suddenly came from the city.
Yu Qiuping came back to his senses and looked down the city with his hands on the wall stacks. He saw Maeda Toshiie and several horse soldiers, as well as Ikeda Hengxing and others waving to him. The troops directly under the Oda family and the Ikeda family's
The troops are ready to leave, and the army is slowly gathering outside the camp.
"Boy, we have to leave!" Maeda Toshiie said with a smile while waving the big scarlet gun in his hand.
"See you at Sumamata Castle!" Yoshiyuki Sawaki followed behind Toshiie Maeda and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"What a meeting in Sumamata Castle! It's really useless!" Ikeda Tsuneaki came to them on horseback, patted Sayaki Yoshiyuki on the shoulder, raised his neck and shouted: "Momiji, let's - Inabayama Castle
See!"
Ikeda Hengxing's awesomeness caused everyone to burst into laughter, and they all turned their horses and prepared to leave. However, Yu Qiuping did not laugh out loud, but stared blankly at these good friends below the city.
Maeda Toshiie, Ikeda Tsuneki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Ikoma Okamasa, Naomasa Naomi...and so many good friends who have been together for seven years...With their status, they will definitely live in the castle tower with Oda Nobunaga.
.
In other words, they would definitely be blown up together in the castle tower.
In other words, this should be the last time Yu Qiuping sees them.
That is to say…
"Wait a minute!" Yu Qiuping suddenly shouted, startling everyone in the city. Yu Qiuping couldn't help but ran down the stairs and down the city wall, ignoring the surprised looks of the guards around him. He got on his horse and rushed through the city gate.
He got out and rode towards the dozen or so good friends.
"What are you going to do?" Maeda Toshiya asked in surprise as he watched Yu Qiuping riding his horse. Before he could react, Yu Qiuping had already rushed in front of him, reined in his horse, and stood beside him.
He stopped and then gave him a big hug.
"I'll go! Your kid's madness hasn't healed yet!" Maeda Toshiya was suddenly frightened by this erotic hug. He pushed Yu Qiuping away, only to find that the latter was actually using a reddish kiss.
Staring at himself.
"What's wrong? Hongye? Are you stupid?" Ikeda Hengxing noticed something unusual about Yu Qiuping, rode his horse to his side, patted his shoulder, and asked with a smile.
"No." Yu Qiuping responded dully, glanced at Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Hengxing blankly, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother, Hengxing. That time I was caught in Inabayama City, you guys
Thank you very much for risking your life to save me."
"Huh?" Ikeda Hengxing was stunned for a moment and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Hongye, why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"Also... I'm so grateful to you all for taking care of me over the past seven years." Yu Qiuping did not respond to Ikeda Hengxing, but turned to face the other women in clothing and slightly cupped his hands.
"You kid, are you crazy again?" Maeda Toshiya was confused by Yu Qiuping, and Monk Zhang Er was confused. He looked at Yu Qiuping with suspicious eyes, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"It's nothing." Yu Qiuping tried to control his emotions, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and whispered softly: "You are all my good brothers...I...I, Yu Qiuping..."
Scenes of scenes from the past came to mind one after another, making Yu Qiuping's heart burst with pain. Maeda Toshiie, who is enthusiastic and simple but likes lolita, thinks about the bragging but very loyal Ikeda Hengxing all day long, and the stubborn Zuo
Xie Liangzhi, the always kind Nao Zhizheng, and all the good brothers who eat and drink together, go hunting together, play in the whale house together, and will stab each other when encountering difficulties - will soon be
I killed them with my own hands. They will never know until they die that the murderer who killed them was their good brother who talked and laughed with them.
If you do such a thing, you will go to hell. If you betray these good brothers, you will suffer a bad death for the rest of your life.
In order to take revenge, I am no longer a human being.
My rain and autumn are flat.
I'm sorry for you.
Yu Qiuping raised his head, suppressed the tears in his eyes, clasped his hands in front of him, and shouted loudly:
"I wish you success! See you soon!"
·
After sending off one team after another, bidding farewell to one brother after another, the sun gradually fell towards the horizon, and the Oda family's army had all crossed the Kiso River.
Feeling lost, Yu Qiupei stood at the top of the city, watching his brothers and colleagues disappear on the floating bridge of the Kiso River, until the light was dim enough that he could not see far away, and until tears kept rolling in his eyes.
Until the ninjas sent by Uchiha Aooka brought the news that Oda Nobunaga had moved into the castle tower. The messenger who came to report back also said that no one in the Oda family noticed anything unusual about the castle tower. Including Oda Nobunaga and his mother-in-law
Among them, Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Takigawa Kazumasu and other important ministers also lived in the castle tower.
Yu Qiuping sighed, that time was finally coming.
As long as I give the order, the bonfire on the Kuroda Castle Castle will be ignited, and the Sumama Castle Castle will be instantly destroyed.
But before that.
Yu Qiuping turned around and looked at the third floor of Kuroda Castle's castle tower. Imagawa Kaede was standing in the corridor on the third floor with some worry, looking at himself - Yu Qiuping, who had been standing on the castle wall all day.
When their eyes met, Yu Qiuping made up his mind.
I won't hide it from you. Even if I don't discuss it with you, before I rebel, I must at least tell you this plan.
