"My lord has made extraordinary achievements this time, and he can indeed compete with Ishida Jibe. But if His Highness Hidefusa is brought to Osaka at this time, and his identity is made public, he will not only face Ishida Jibe. A force." Yi Xin Chongchuan analyzed with a solemn expression. "You mean, the Owari faction and the daimy¨ of the outside world will also be involved?" Hideho asked rhetorically. Yi Xin Chongchuan nodded and said: "In terms of blood, the lord is the younger brother of Qian Guan Bai, and now he is the successor of Young Master Hideyori. This has already made those who previously slandered Qian Guan Bai fearful. If His Highness Hidefusa is brought here this time, it will give them an excuse to unite with the Omi faction to deal with our family. By then, I am afraid that our family will be in an unfavorable situation. " "I consider myself to be related to Mrs. Yodo and the Omi faction. "Shang Ke, I thought I could take this opportunity to give Xiu Fang an identity, but after what you two said, the time is indeed not ripe," Xiu Bao couldn't help but sigh. "My lord, please forgive me for speaking frankly." Yi Xinchuan reminded Hideho: "Mrs. Yodo is Young Master Hideyori's biological mother after all. No matter how harmonious your relationship is with her, you cannot let her take things that threaten Young Master's status lightly. Obviously, Shufang can completely arouse her suspicion of the family. Especially at this time, when the family is unprecedentedly powerful, the appearance of Xiufang will definitely force her to join forces with other daimyo, whether they are from the Omi faction or outsiders. She doesn't care about such a famous name, or even the Owari faction. After all, protecting the status of young master Hideyori is the first priority. " "Then according to your wishes, when will the show be" Hideho couldn't help but ask. Dao, in his opinion, Xiu Fang is about to reach adulthood, and the later he is informed of his life experience, the more serious the consequences will be. "At least we have to wait until the lord has completely taken control of the center," Yixin Chongchuan replied: "Only then, both Mrs. Yodo and Young Master Hideyori, can only follow His Highness's advice, and there is no other way" "At that time, I'm afraid there will be no need to ask for Osaka's opinion" After listening to Ishin Takaden's words, Hideho said to himself. "Whether it is for His Highness Hidefusa or for the internal harmony of the Toyotomi clan, what the lord needs to do now is to complete the reintegration of the world's forces as soon as possible and ensure that he has an absolute advantage in the center. Only in this way can we not be fooled by villains with ulterior motives. People take advantage of the situation and come in." Yi Xin Chongchuan persuaded patiently. Although he was wearing a cassock, he knew from the first conversation with Hideho that he could no longer stay out of the situation. He knew that Hideho, as a young man who was not deeply involved in the world, had some character flaws. He was sometimes loyal and sometimes indecisive. But these shortcomings are not a big problem in the eyes of Yixin Chongchuan. Sometimes he even feels that such a lord is more humane and worth following. Over the past few years, he felt that Hideho was the best candidate to bring Japan to peace and prosperity. He also trusted him and would give him careful guidance when encountering problems. What made him gratified was that Hideho always accepted his suggestions and persuasion with an open mind and actively corrected them. This allowed Yi Xin Chongchuan to see the prototype of a wise ruler and wise king in him, and the trust between the two also increased step by step. deepen. Similarly, since the death of Toyotomi Hideji, Hideho has always regarded Shinsoden as his teacher, placing him in a position almost equal to that of Takatora Toudo and Shima Kiyoshi. Especially when Horio Yoshiharu became old and found it difficult to take care of all aspects of family affairs, Hideho even asked Yoshiharu to come out and assist Horio Yoshiharu in managing the Yamato Toyotomi clan. This kind of trust and attention is something that most retainers cannot enjoy. It is also something that most daimyo would not give to their retainers. Therefore, even if Ishin Shoden failed to follow Hideho on his expeditions, the relationship between the two did not weaken by half. On the contrary, spurred by previous events, the two people's tacit understanding continued to increase, becoming the envy and learning of famous names all over the world. model. Regarding Ishin Takaden's suggestion, Hideho still accepted it with an open mind this time. He finally gave up the idea of ??taking Miyoshi Hidefusa back to Osaka, and set his next goal on post-war disposal and control of the Toyotomi clan's center. On May 19th, Hideho said goodbye to his biological parents, Miyoshi Yoshifusa and his wife, and Miyoshi Hidefusa. He led the army to leave Nagashima Castle, followed the streets of Ise through Iga Country and arrived at Yamato Country. After resting for a while at Yamato Koriyama Castle, At noon the next day, he dressed in fine clothes and led all the daimyo and 50,000 elite warriors to Osaka. The remaining army was kept in Yamato to avoid unnecessary trouble. At noon on May 20th, Hideho arrived at Mount Ikoma at the junction of Yamato and Hanoi. Ogasawara Takakiyo and Maeda clan's important minister Nagaren Ry¨± had been waiting for a long time. Hideho first expressed his gratitude to the Maeda family to Nagarenryu, and hinted that he would reward the Maeda family after arriving in Osaka. Nagarenryu expressed his gratitude to Hideho and introduced the current situation around Osaka Castle to Hideho: Ukita Hideie, Maeda Toshimasa, Ogasawara Takakiyo, and Kato Kiyoshi are currently the four major forces stationed around Osaka. Obviously, they are all Hideho. A trustworthy force, therefore, Hideho was?There is no need to worry about safety issues in Osaka; in Osaka Castle, part of the Ukita Hide family's troops are mainly stationed in Sogou, while inside Sannomaru are guarded by Yuma Yue, who is directly under the Toyotomi clan. "Oma Kai?" Hideho hesitated for a moment and asked: "If I remember correctly, after the last riot, after the internal purge of Yuma Kai, there should be less than two thousand people left, right?" "That's true, but that's already the case. It happened more than ten days ago." Chang Lianlong, as one of the most trusted retainers of Maeda Toshiie and Toshimasa, is very familiar with the situation in Osaka Castle: "Your Highness does not know something. After the Mori clan withdrew from Osaka Castle, Ishida The Administrative Department immediately mobilized the Imperial Guards to take control of Osaka Castle. Even Prime Minister Bizen did not realize this. Not only that, he also sent retainers everywhere to mobilize and incite the minor daimyo to integrate their military forces into the Imperial Guards. "In less than ten days, the number of Yuma Kai in Osaka City has soared to 14,000. With these 'rabble', Ishida Harubu has firmly taken control of Osaka. The city. If it hadn't been for Dai Nagon and Prime Minister Bizen to argue, maybe even Sogo wouldn't be able to let us in and out." Speaking of this, Chang Lianlong gritted his teeth angrily. "My veteran didn't expect that we tried our best to defeat the Maori army and rushed to the gate of Osaka Castle. We wanted to enter the city as soon as possible and stay with the young master Wei and Mrs. Yodo, but we were treated like this. It really didn't feel like it." Ogasawara Takakiyo also said angrily. "I can understand your mood," Hideho nodded slightly at the two of them and patiently consoled them: "Ishida Harubu has always been cautious in his actions, especially the safety of the young master, especially since the Maori army has just retreated. The situation is not completely clear yet, so it is reasonable for him to make this arrangement. Please don¡¯t take it seriously, after all, it is all for the sake of the Toyotomi family.¡±
