It's a kind of heat that I like, and it has a smell: I'm in it, and there's so much grape picking and forage and fallen leaves, so many tastes and so many wishes that I didn't know I had anymore. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

- Cesare Pavese (Italian poet, novelist, literary critic and translator)

"Yamamoto-kun, are your words too much? What is the name of our Yijiao general, don't you know? The name of the family governor is Iwashimizu Yoshicho, and the general's name is Iwashimizu Yoshito, isn't that enough?"

"Tojo-kun, it's not that my words are excessive, but your words are too much! Is it because the Yijiao general is the younger brother of the family governor, so we have to directly obey the Yijiao general? Such a major matter, we must have the family governor's personal order, we can obey it!"

"Tojo-kun, what Yamamoto-kun said has a point! We should be cautious about such a big matter as breaking away from the Sibo family and surrendering to the Yanhuang family; if I don't have the personal order of the family governor, I can't obey the order of the righteous general!"

"Yes, I also agree with Yamamoto-kun's words, this kind of important matter must be decided by the family governor, and no one else can decide on his own!"

"The governor doesn't necessarily know about today's affairs, we should immediately go to the city lord's mansion to ask the governor!"

"Let's go, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion right away!"

......

Seeing that the situation in the military tent was about to be out of his control, Iwashimizu Yoshiyo, who was furious in his heart, had already grasped the hilt of the katana at his waist;

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Iwashimizu Yoshikyo, who couldn't help but pull out the katana at his waist, slashed at the table behind him, splitting the mahogany table he had cherished in the past in half, and the originally messy military tent also instantly returned to quiet.

"Yamamoto Fifty-six Shogun, do you mean that I am now under the order of a fake heirloom?" In the samurai etiquette of the Yamato Empire, calling a person's full name and position to face is either a formal order or contempt, and everyone understands what it is.

"General Iwashimizu Yijiao, you are a core member of the Iwashimizu family, and you are also the younger brother of the family governor, I naturally don't dare to question your order of the fake heirloom, but for such a major matter, we must consult the family governor and get the family governor's personal order before we can obey it. ”

"Okay, I have no objection to you asking the governor, but between you going to ask the governor, I have a question for you: You come and tell me, as a subordinate appointed by the governor himself, do I have the authority to give you orders?"

"Of course you have the authority to give us orders......!

"Okay, you've answered my question, you don't need to say anything else. Yamamoto Fifty-six, who didn't know why, answered Iwashimizu's question without hesitation, but when he wanted to explain, Iwashimizu didn't give him a chance to speak.

"General Tojo, you have heard what General Yamamoto 56 said just now, I have the authority to give you an order, then I will give you an order now: Yamamoto 56 conspired to betray the family, and I will execute him on the spot immediately!"

No one expected that the embarrassed and angry Iwashimizu Yoshikyo would order one of the generals in the army to kill another general who disobeyed his orders, such a ridiculous order made all the samurai present stunned in disbelief.

Yamamoto Isoroku was also one of the stunned people, but Tojo Hideki was not the slightest surprised; from the time Yamamoto Isoroku stood up to oppose the current affairs, Tojo Hideki knew that Iwashimizu Yoshikyo would never let him out of the military tent alive.

Therefore, after receiving the order of Iwashimizu Yoshikyo, Tojo Hideki, who had already been ready to make a move, immediately pulled out the katana on his waist and slashed at Yamamoto Isoroku who was still in a trance, wanting to take the opportunity to slash Yamamoto Isoroku who did not know the current affairs.

Hideki Tojo and Fifty-six Yamamoto, who are also the generals of the Iwashimizu family, are both powerful high-level samurai; even if they are in a state of distraction, Yamamoto Fifty-six still relies on his high-level samurai instinct to dodge Tojo Hideki's fatal blow with a slight side of his body.

Yamamoto Isoroku, who was lucky enough to escape, was only lucky not to be killed on the spot, but his left arm was not so lucky; the sharp katana in Tojo Hideki's hand cut off Yamamoto Isoroku's left arm with a single sword, and blood sprayed all over the ground.

Even if his left arm was cut off, Yamamoto Fifty-six still didn't scream out loud, not because he didn't want to scream, but before he could scream, he was cut off by the head of Iwashimusuizu Yoshikyo who rushed down!

In an instant, Yamamoto Isoroku, who had just rightly confronted the Iwashimizu Yoshiko, turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye, and the samurai who reacted in the military tent pulled out their katana swords at their waists one after another, forming a clear confrontation.

The henchmen of the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo led by Hideki Tojo had about forty or fifty samurai, and the confronted them were sixty or seventy samurai loyal to the Iwashimizu family.

"Stop, all of you put my knives away! Hideki Tojo, you're the first to put my katana back into its scabbard!"

"General!" Hideki Tojo felt that this was not the time to put away his knife.

"Don't you even listen to my orders?!" When Iwashimizu Yoshikyo said this, his tone was already cold and chilling, and Tojo Hideki, who was a confidant of Iwashimizu Yoshikyo, had no choice but to put his katana back into the scabbard.

With Hideki Tojo leading by example, other samurai loyal to Iwashimizu Yoshiyo also put their katanas back into their scabbards, so that half of the samurai who drew their swords and confronted each other had already withdrawn their katanas, while the other half still did not take back their katanas.

"I know you're not happy with my order to execute Yamamoto Isoroku, but don't you really think about your future and your family?

To tell you the truth, the 30,000 troops of the Yanhuang family have already entered the territory of the Sibo family, and in one day at most, their 5,000 vanguard army will be under our Bian Shi Imperial Palace.

The pen head of the Sipo family, the old Shida Quantai, and the son-in-law of the Sipo Quanzhi, Kunohe Yasuma, they have all secretly surrendered to the Yanhuang family;

I don't force each of you to stay and follow me to surrender to the Yanhuang family, I just hope that you can think about your future and your family, the 30,000 army of the Yanhuang family is about to arrive, and we only have one chance.

Now, I give all of you a new chance: those who are willing to stay and work with me for the future and their families should stay in the military tent and do not move, and if you do not want to, you will leave the military tent and the barracks by yourself; as long as you do not tell the truth, I promise that I will not embarrass you!"
