"Abe, since you are willing to surrender, do you have any suggestions?" Jiang De asked.

Abe Tai personally looked at Sekihakufu and said, "The place where the adults envision the decisive battle should be Sekigahara." ”

"That's right, Heiankyo fell into my hands, and Kanto was also cut off by me, both Toba and Shirakawa have lost their food and grass supply, they will either fight back against Heiankyo, or they will turn back and take Kanto, Shirakawa is a smart man, as long as he fights with me, he will retreat to Kanto, and Sekigahara is the place of the decisive battle!" Jiang De said bluntly.

Abe Tai sighed profoundly, "But there is still a way, Lord Pingyin Hou did not think of it." ”

"What way?" Jiang De asked suspiciously.

"Abe Yasui himself drew it in the air with a fan" South of Lake Biwa is Ise Province and Iga Province, although these two places are mountainous, but relatively flat, such as His Majesty Toba and His Majesty Shirakawa divide their troops all the way from here, cross Kannon Mountain to reach Kanto, no need too much, as long as thousands of elites, at a critical moment to kill the back of the Kanto army sent by the adults, the adults will be dangerous. ”

"What? Guanyin Mountain? Isn't there only one way not to fail? Jiang De really hadn't heard of this road, but he quickly reacted.

Later in Japan's Warring States Period, when Oda Nobunaga died in Honnoji Temple, Tokugawa Ieyasu was in Sakai City, that is, at this time in Settsu play, there were only a dozen people around him, he urgently needed to return to his headquarters, located in the Kanto region of Mikawa Province, but because Kyoto was the army of Akechi Mitsuhide and could not take the main road, it was by Hattori Hanzo who took him through Iga, Koga and other places, and arrived in Kanto, this road is rarely walked after hundreds of years, but it does not mean that there is none.

Now there is only one division of Cheng Min in the Kanto region, and if Cheng Min is resisting the assault of the White River Army, but is attacked by thousands of elites on the flank or rear road, then the situation will really be unimaginable.

"Please believe that what I said is indeed the truth." Abe Yasujin was a little worried that Jiang De would not believe his words, and said, "There is a map of the entire territory of the Japanese kingdom in the palace, just look at it." ”

Jiang De thought about it in his heart, knowing that he still had time, and said, "Okay, no matter whether Toba and Shirakawa use this trick or not, it will be counted as your merit, and the order!" Let Lei Jiong's regiment speed up to come here to pacify Guanbaifu, let Sanada Yukimura lead the headquarters to reinforce here, and order Xu Guanzhong to immediately dispatch one or two regiments of the First Field Division, take the waterway to Ise to land, guard Guanyin Mountain, and tell Mr. Xu that before the 26th, this field regiment must be in place! ”

The heralds scattered in all directions, and Jiang De glanced at the Guanbai Mansion that was still resisting, and said, "The herald sergeant repairs and attacks Mt. Otowa tomorrow!" ”

- Mt. Otowa

Fujiwara faithfully looked at the embarrassed Toba, and his mouth couldn't close.

"Your Majesty... Is that really a Song person? Fujiwara asked in disbelief.

"I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, how can it be wrong?" Toba said as he gulped down honey water.

"Your Majesty... In this way, we will be in danger, and we will lose the food and grass in the city, and in a few days, the army will collapse because of hunger and thirst. Fujiwara thought for a moment and asked, "How many Song people are coming?" ”

"I don't know, but there are cavalry." Toba shook his head and looked at the other ministers.

A minister said, "There are hundreds of horsemen chasing us, and there are 10,000 people who want to come to the general army." ”

"If there are 10,000 troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover Heiankyo with the strength of our army in a short period of time." Fujiwara faithfully thought about the family in the Guanbai Mansion who had no news, and his heart was anxious, but he was helpless.

"Why don't you make peace with His Majesty the Emperor?" A minister suggested.

"No! Absolutely not! Yuan Weiyi immediately vetoed, he was from Baihe's hands, if he renegotiated peace, others don't know what will happen, and the probability that his head will be taken to the sacrifice flag is very high.

"If we don't negotiate peace, our army will be attacked by the enemy on its back, and there will be no food and grass, can we hold out for three days?" The minister snorted, "This is a national matter, you are a martial artist, what qualifications do you have to speak again?" ”

Yuan Weiyi was angry, he looked at Fujiwara Loyalty, he understood very well that the core figure of the Toba Army was not Toba, but Sekibai Fujiwara Loyalty.

Fujiwara Faithful is also a headache, where is this peace, with Baihe's old spiciness, it will definitely become a surrender, that possible condition, he thinks about it.

But thinking of the family who still doesn't know whether they are alive or dead, unless they surrender to the Song people, there is no other way.

"Newspaper!! The enemy has retreated! "A spy came running to report.

"Oh? It's getting late, so I guess I'm ready to eat. A military general said.

"No!" Fujiwara clenched his fists and said, "It seems that His Majesty Shirakawa already knows about the situation in Heiankyo." ”

"How can it be so fast?"

"His Majesty Baihe has been in power for many years, and there are probably a lot of people in our army who secretly communicate with him, before our army had a chance to win, they would not mess around, and now that our army has lost the city, they have not dedicated us to His Majesty Baihe now, which is already good." Fujiwara shook his head faithfully and said, "There's no other way now, come on!" ”

Toba still wanted to struggle, and said again, "What if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't let me go?" ”

"Hehe..."Fujiwara tilted his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, have you misunderstood something?" I just do what you want, and I don't have any insoluble contradictions with His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"You... What do you mean by that? ”

At this moment, several guards walked in.

"Your Majesty is tired, please rest Your Majesty." Fujiwara said with a wave of his hand.

"Fujiwara! You... Stop! Licentious! Licentious!! ”

Fujiwara faithfully closed his eyes, listened to the wailing of Toba who was fading away, looked at the elders, ministers, and samurai around him, and said, "Now, who wants to go to His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Fujiwara Faithful, a cunning politician, didn't have much loyalty to Toba in the first place.

And those ministers, at this time, they will not be stupid enough to come out and say anything, if you want to say that you are loyal to the royal family, it is also loyal to Baihe, this Toba is immoral and incompetent, what is it?

"Your Excellency!" Seeing that Fujiwara had already made up his mind, Gen Wei Yoshiki knelt down and kowtowed, "If that's the case, please show your sincerity by taking my head!" ”

Fujiwara faithfully shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't even have this amount of belly, I will have to worry about the future of my wait." ”

A minister asked for orders to go to negotiate with Shirakawa about the counterattack on Heianjing, and Yuan Weiyi, who had retreated, came to his army worriedly.

"Master, why is your face so ugly? Haven't the thieves retreated? A samurai saw that Yuan Weiyi's face was not good, and he stepped forward and asked.

"Ah, it's Yoshikoku." Yuan Weiyi glanced at the samurai, and then said, "The Song people have attacked Heian-kyo, Your Majesty has arrived at Mt. Otowa, Heian-kyo has all fallen, and now Lord Sekihaku is preparing to negotiate peace with His Majesty the Emperor..."

"What? Peace? So what do we do? ”

Minamoto Yoshikuni is the younger brother of Minamoto Yoshiko, and his son is the later Ashikaga Yoshiyasu, that is, the ancestor of the Ashikaga clan who founded the Muromachi shogunate.

"I'm ready for seppuku." Yuan Weiyi sighed, "It's just that I'm so sorry for you, but in the end it became like this." ”

"What about Your Majesty? Your Majesty probably won't agree to it. Yuan Yiguo asked again.

"His Majesty Toba's opinion doesn't matter, no one will listen to him." Yuan Weiyi smiled and said, "I'm afraid that after I cut my stomach, it will be his turn." ”

"How can this be..."Gen Yiguo clenched his fists, then stomped his feet and said, "These people don't take our lives seriously at all, if we don't fight to the death, where will they have a good life?" What an abomination! ”

"Be careful!" Yuan Weiyi shouted, "When I die, you will be the pillar of the Yuan family!" You must let our source family prosper! ”

Yuan Yiguo knelt on the ground, shook his head, and was unwilling to accept such a reality, and said after a while, "Since the public family is like this to us, why don't you change the court?" ”

"The Emperor? Whatever it is, take my head to him." Yuan Weiyi had already thought about it, he untied the big armor and prepared to disembowel.

"Head of the house!" Yuan Yiguo grabbed Yuan Weiyi's hand and said, "I don't mean to go to the White River, don't we have a better choice behind us?" ”

Yuan Weiyi looked at him suspiciously.

"The Marquis of Pingyin is the Marquis of the Song Kingdom, I heard that he has always been a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and he is a meritocracy, as long as he has the ability, he can be an official under him.

The so-called Sanada Yukimura or something, they were all ordinary samurai, but now they are the generals of the unified army, is the head of the family still not as good as them? Gen Yoshikoku's voice is getting lower and lower, but it is also becoming more and more demagogic.

"The head of the family, if you sit back and wait to die, the best ending for my Yuan family is to survive, but if we vote for the Marquis of Pingyin, we can be rewarded for meritorious service, and we can also go to the Song Kingdom with the Marquis of Pingyin, which is also a place to go.

What's more, our family is still in Heianjing, please think twice! ”

Not only Fujiwara Faithful or Minamoto Family, but most of the other sergeants of the Toba Army also had family members in Heiankyo, and the loss of Heiankyo not only meant the loss of food and grass supplies, but also brought the Toba Army's military morale to the brink of collapse.

In the past, during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, and most of his soldiers were from Jingzhou, which made the Eastern Wu almost bloodless disintegration of Guan Yu's army and rewrite the historical trend of the Three Kingdoms.

Yuan Weiyi didn't have any loyalty to Toba, he wanted to say that he was also a loyal person to Fujiwara, but now that Fujiwara Faithful has made it clear that he wants to give up on him, he no longer has the idea of being loyal to Fujiwara.

"If you want to go, you can't just a few of us." Yuan Weiyi looked around and said, "A few of us will only be looked down upon when we go to the Pingyin Marquis now, and when he comes back, I heard from others that His Majesty Toba is imprisoned in Shuanglin Courtyard, so it is better to take His Majesty to the Pingyin Marquis!" ”

"Take Your Majesty?" Yuan Yiguo didn't expect Yuan Weiyi to be more ruthless than him.

"Without further ado, immediately gather our clansmen and trusted samurai, let them come here secretly in batches, and we will do it tonight!" Yuan Weiyi made up his mind and said.

"Hey!"

- That night

Fujiwara Faithful was looking at the handwritten letter given to him by Shirakawa, and after Shirakawa learned the news that Heiankyo was occupied by the Song people, he was really not ready to unite with Fujiwara Faithful at first, but was ready to destroy Fujiwara Faithful and then attack the Song people, and he was very confident in the power in his hands.

Therefore, when the minister sent by Fujiwara Faithful expressed Fujiwara Loyalty's desire to negotiate peace, he made several demands, the first was to ask Fujiwara Faithful to send Toba to the Shirakawa Army, and the second was to ask Fujiwara Faithful to hand over the military power before he could talk about anything else.

"It's too harsh, and we don't have any guarantees for such conditions."

Some ministers said that they were not satisfied with Baihe's conditions.

"Yes, hand over all the military power, who will protect us?"

"Lord Sekihaku! Lord Sekihaku! ”

A samurai rolled in, and before he knelt down, he said, "Lord Guan Bai, Yuan Wei has rebelled!" He led people to attack Shuanglin Yuan, and His Majesty was already snatched away! ”

"What! Fast!! Go chase it back! Fujiwara stood up in fright, then waved his hands and urged.

"Yes!" Everyone also knew that the situation was urgent, so they didn't say more, and retreated and took the sergeant to pursue Yuan Weiyi.

Yuan Weiyi led more than 100 people, and was running on the mountain road at this time, and Toba was rolled up by a roll of mats, and was resisted on the shoulders of a strong man, and Toba only felt that his stomach was about to be turned upside down.

"As long as we go out of the mountain, there will be cavalry of the Pingyin Army, we will be safe, everyone will work harder!" Yuan Weiyi looked at the fire dragon looming in the distance, cheered everyone up, and said.

That fire dragon was naturally the pursuer, and it was a few ministers who led the pursuers, and in the context of the Genjia rebellion, Fujiwara Tadashi no longer dared to trust other samurai.

"Quick! Catch up and rescue Your Majesty! The pursuers also thought of the danger of going out of the mountain, and they all thought about catching up with Gen Weiyi in front before leaving the mountain.

"Look! There is a mountain gate in front, rush over! Yuan Yizong pointed to the gate in front of him and said.

The sergeant of the Japanese army guarding the gate of the village still didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Yuan Weiyi who rushed over, and he didn't even know whether to stop or let go.

"Hurry up and open the door, I am the source of righteousness, Lord Feng Guan Bai ordered, lead the army to check the situation in Heianjing, open the door quickly!"

The guard took a closer look and found that it was really the source of righteousness, so he said, "I haven't received any news about this matter, please show the warrant." ”

"It's easy, you can come and see." Yuan Weiyi pretended to take the warrant from his arms, waited for the guard to step forward, cut it down with a knife, and then shouted, "This fang did not obey the general's order, I have killed him, if you don't open the city gate again, you will be guilty of the same crime as this person!" ”

Most of the sergeants guarding the gate of the village had seen Yuan Weiyi, and when they heard that he had written about the white instructions, they didn't dare to verify it at all, so they had to open the door, and Yuan Weiyi saw that the mountain gate was opened, and immediately took the sergeant down the mountain.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, several ministers arrived late in a sedan chair with the pursuers, and heard that Yuan Weiyi had already run away, looking at the black foot of the mountain, he gritted his teeth and continued to chase down.

As they chased, they wondered how they would faithfully express their loyalty and bravery to Fujiwara.

Do you say that it is better to express it in poetry, or to express it in Noh drama....

Yuan Weiyi ran for about a stick of incense, wearing battle armor, and with weapons, their speed inevitably slowed down, and it was already about the same speed as ordinary people walking.
