On May 25, Yu Qiuping received an unsigned letter. The handwriting on the letter was crooked, as if he was deliberately avoiding handwriting to hide the identity of the letter's owner.
The owner of the letter seems to be a senior member of the Changzonggabu family, because he revealed to Yu Qiuping the latest decisions of the Changzonggabu family. The head of the Changzonggabu family revealed a terrible plan at a secret evaluation meeting of the family elders.
.That is to betray the Oda family and turn to help the Miyoshi family. The Nagazune family plans to take advantage of the opportunity of the Miyoshi family's peace talks to plot to betray Yu Qiuping and attack Yu Qiuping with the Miyoshi family in exchange for Changzong.
Our family's current territory will be secure. After that, the Changzong family will surrender to the Mihaoshi family or form an alliance.
"Are you crazy? Seeking skin from a tiger?" This was Yu Qiuping's first reaction when he read this. "The Sanhao family aspires to unify the four countries, so how can they leave a powerful vassal state in their backyard? The Changzonggabu family sold it out on the front foot.
If you kill me, you will be defeated by the Sanhao family!"
However, the owner of the letter and the senior officials of the Changzonggabu family were not stupid, and they also thought of this problem. Therefore, after some discussions, this choice became the last way. If the peace talks and conditions given by the Miyoshi family
It is difficult to accept it, and Yu Qiupei is bent on retreating and is unwilling to defend Suzaki Castle, then the Chosogabe family will have no choice but to betray Yu Qiupei. If things really progress to that point, the relationship between the Miyoshi family and the Chosogabe family
Under the attack, Yu Qiuping, who was alone outside the country, was desperate.
"Who is the owner of the letter?" Yu Qiuping called all the senior officers and circulated the letter one by one. He shook the thin letter paper with his hand and asked.
"I don't know, the handwriting is very well hidden." Fukuzawa Yunan took the letter from Yu Qiuping again, looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head, "As a senior member of the Changzong Gabe family, he
If you leak such important information to us, if His Highness Chang Zong discovers it, you may be killed. Therefore, you will definitely try your best to hide your identity."
"Could it be His Highness Kira?" Kobata Jiesheng said excitedly and slightly worriedly, "His Highness Kira is very grateful to us, and it is said that he also spoke for us before."
"It could also be His Highness Xiang Zong." Ogawa Youdong took out a bottle of wine from his arms, pointed at the bottle with his finger and said, "His Highness Xiang Zong has been dealing with us for many years, and this bottle of wine is him.
It was given to me. Depending on his temperament, he might come to help us because of his old friendship."
"I didn't expect my subordinates from Changzong to have such evil intentions! We took such a big risk to cross the sea to help them, and now we are trapped here! They are so lucky, they actually want to sell us? I don't think anyone will dare to help them in the future.
!" Jigang Shengzheng has been extremely dissatisfied with Changzong's family these days, and he couldn't help shouting, "If I help these beasts fight one more time, I, Jigang Shengzheng, will be worse than a dog!"
"Do they really dare?" Xiaobata Jiesheng also raised a question, "The eldest son of the Chosonggabu family and the novice of the Chosonggabu family are still in our hands? Do they want the young master's life?"
"For a hero, for the sake of the family's survival, what would the eldest son be reluctant to part with?" Fukuzawa Yunan shook his head.
"Then what should we do now? If the Changzong family really betrays us, we will be in big trouble. Is there any countermeasure?" Ogawa Yutong was playing with his wine bottle, looking nonchalant, but actually worried.
asked.
"Robbing Urato Castle." Yoshioka Katsumasa slapped the location of Urato Castle on the map with his hand. "We will take Urato Castle directly. When the time comes, we will rely on more than 8,000 of us to hold on to the city.
When we withdraw our troops from Miyoshi's house, we will run away as soon as we enter the ship at Urado Port. Who can stop us?"
"Okay, this is the final plan." Yu Qiuping nodded, "Is there anything else that is gentler?"
Just then, the knock on the door rang again.
"Your Highness, Boss Xiaoxi wants to see you." Yegu Suizi reported to Yu Qiupingtong.
"Let them come in." Yu Qiuping felt like his head was going to explode. The amount of information he had received in the past few days was too great. There was no reliable ally around him, which was really annoying.
As soon as Lonzo Konishi came in, Yu Qiuping guessed what they wanted to say. Lonzo Konishi was sweating profusely and looked extremely panicked.
"Your Highness, I heard a rumor in Oka Toyo Castle that you are going to withdraw your troops?" Konishi Lonzo seemed to have come all the way after a long and dusty journey, "This cannot be withdrawn! We are there in the entire Central Tosa and Higashi Tosa.
There is a lot of business for businessmen in the Congress. If you withdraw, all of it will be left to the Mihaoshi family."
"Is it possible that we have to pay for the lives of the Red Leaf Army for your stinky money?" Yoshioka Katsumasa, who was in anger, snorted disdainfully, "I usually just quarrel with you, but in this kind of dangerous battle,
When the time comes, it’s not your turn to dictate military affairs!”
"The common people don't dare." Lonzo Konishi shook his head after hearing this, "It's just that these are indeed the companies owned by the boss of the Congress! If you can keep it, try to keep it! Otherwise, it will be difficult for the common people and His Highness to explain next year's tax revenue for the Yuqiu family when they go back.
It will also be greatly discounted!”
"Boss Konishi, this matter is not up to me. If it is really necessary, I can only retreat from Suzaki Castle." Yu Qiuping told Konishi Lonzo everything about the secret letter, scaring the latter.
De's face turned pale, "If I give you time to take away enough belongings, how long will it take you?"
"Those factories are built on the ground, so they can't be moved away with the soil..." Konishi Lonzo said in a low voice, but when he thought of the possibility of betraying the alliance, he couldn't care less.
More, "If all other personnel, funds, and goods are recovered, it will take about 3 days."
"Then get ready quickly. Once there is any change in the Changzong family, we will retreat immediately." Yu Qiuping nodded towards Xiaoxi Lonzo and ordered at the same time, "Kelong, you and your people will protect Xiaoxi.
The boss and the others went to Okafeng City to sort out their finances in case something unexpected happens."
"Your Highness, can I come with you?" Yegu Suiko, who had been standing obediently in the distance, suddenly said, "Miaomiao is still in Gangfeng City! I want to take him with me too!"
"Are you talking about that cat?" Yu Qiuping then remembered the cat that the Onmyoji gave to him, "Then you go with them and pay attention to safety."
After Mori Kolong left with Konishi Lonzo and Haotani Suiko, Yu Qiuping began to lay out the military plan.
"Be ready to retreat at any time." Yu Qiuping whispered solemnly, "We must be on guard against others. We must be careful of Lord Jiuwu suddenly taking action against us. From today on, all of us will live in the barracks. Let's
Everyone, pack your bags and get ready for the march."
"Send people to investigate the retreat road from Suzaki Castle to Urado Castle, and pay attention to the movements of the Awaji Navy to prevent the Miyoshi Army from suddenly landing. At the same time, pay more attention to the locations on both sides of the official road where a large number of troops can be ambushed to prevent long-term
Zongwa's ambush." Yu Qiuping looked around at everyone in the room, looked at each person once, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please be more careful. From now on, there are no friendly troops around us, and everyone may be an enemy.
"
"Yes!" After everyone responded in unison, they left separately, leaving Yu Qiuping sitting alone in the room in a daze.
"It would be great if Quan Bingwei were here..." Yu Qiuping sighed, "He is usually responsible for these things in the darkness, and I have always been the one who takes care of them. Now I have to face it myself, and it is really beyond my capabilities."

Amano Keitoku, whom Yu Qiupei missed, was anxious in Kii at the moment. Due to the large-scale dispatch of the Awaji navy, the transmission of information in the Seto Inland Sea became extremely difficult. Nearly 20 days later, Amano Keitoku and others in Kinki received the message from Shikoku Island.
The news - the Awaji navy and the Sanki soldiers did not come to support Kii, but went straight to Nishi Tosa. Yu Qiupei led the army and lost in a bitter battle. At present, all Nishi Tosa has been lost, and the Yuqiu family and Nagasune
The conflict between our families is also on the verge of breaking out. Since the Momiji Fleet was defeated by the Awaji Navy and was blocked in Urado Port, the Uakiu Army was trapped on Shikoku Island and could not evacuate.
After receiving the news, the Yuqiu family immediately went into chaos, and Yuqiu Gobei immediately arrived to stabilize the situation. However, since all the trained sailors had been taken away by Itami Yasukichi, most of the remaining warships in Kishiwada Port were
The construction has not been completed, and even if it is completed, no one can drive them out. The left-behind ships of the Awaji Navy patrol outside Kishiwada Port and Sakai Port all day long, and all Yuqiu family's ships are prohibited from going to sea. The Yuqiu family has nothing
Tens of thousands of powerful armies were unable to cross the sea to reinforce Yuqiupei. In desperation, the Yuqiu family had no choice but to report the news to Oda Nobunaga and asked the Oda family to dispatch it. However, the Oda family currently does not have any naval forces that can
Although the Kumano Suijun, the only one belonging to the Oda family, had not recovered from the defeat, Kuki Yoshitaka was helpless and could only harass them from the side.
In desperation, the Yu Qiu family had no choice but to send Tokiwa Bei and Naru Dysprosium to lead their troops north to the Settsu front line to replace the Sanyodo Army to attack Harima in an attempt to force the Miyoshi family to return reinforcements in order to share Yu Qiuping's pressure. However, Miyoshi
The tens of thousands of troops commanded by Yoshihiro, together with the Maori family's reinforcements, defended Harima like an iron wall. No matter how hard the Hongye Army tried their best, they could not break through.
After learning that the Changzong family was inclined to negotiate peace with the Sanhao family, the Yuqiu family became even more worried, fearing that Yu Qiuping would become a victim of the deal. The Sanhao family's fear of Yu Qiuping was already well known, and many times
Arranged manpower to assassinate Yu Qiuping, Shihe Yisun would rather give up the annihilation of Ji Liang's troops to kill Yu Qiuping. If the Chozong family is determined to sacrifice Yu Qiuping as a condition, maybe the Miyoshi family will really give it.
Offer them a favorable peace terms.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga contacted the Chosugabe family and put pressure on them, not allowing them to negotiate peace with the Miyoshi family privately. The Uaki family also sent envoys to warn the Chosunegabe family that their eldest son, Chosunega
Nobuchika is still in the hands of the Yuqiu family. If the Chozonggabe family makes the decision to betray the Yuqiu family, the life of the Chozonggabu Nobuchika will not be guaranteed.
