Although Xiu Bao ordered a side hall to be carefully cleaned up for Tokugawa Ieyasu to rest, but at this time Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't even dare to take a break, in less than a day, he had experienced too many things, and his body and mind were already exhausted, but he knew that tonight's banquet was the point, and he must use this time to think about how to deal with it.

Although he made a deal with Hideho, Ieyasu still had doubts about Hideho's authority among these daimyos, after all, he was only a twenty-four-year-old young man, and Hideyasu was two years older than him, so could he really establish his prestige and status among the daimyo through this battle?

At the thought of Yuuki Hideyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart. To say that the reason why the plan to raid the main camp of Hideho Fukusenji Temple failed, Yuki Hideyasu's obstruction was the culprit, when the Tokugawa army suddenly appeared on the right flank of the Toyotomi coalition army, quickly captured Furukawa Shrine, and basically occupied Utagawaso, and the large army was at the foot of Kohinoyama Mountain, the situation was very good, as long as Yuki Hideyasu responded according to the instructions, Hideho's main camp was directly exposed to the Tokugawa army.

At that time, the strength of the Fukusenji Hideho Honjin was less than half of the Tokugawa army, and if Yuki, Mori, and Yoshikawa joined the Tokugawa army, the advantage over the Toyotomi army would be further expanded. As long as the main formation is broken, the Toyotomi coalition will become a scattered sand, and the battle will basically end.

But such a seemingly natural tactic ended up at the stage of "seeming" on that day. Not to mention that the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family was stopped halfway up the mountain by Mori Hidemoto and could not support the Tokugawa army, what surprised and chilled the Tokugawa generals the most was that Yuki Hideyasu led 4,000 Yuki troops to defend the entrance to Hinohara and not let the Tokugawa army get close by half a step.

This confrontation lasted for half an hour, which bought Hidebo valuable time, so that Hidebo basically completed the deployment of military forces and the adjustment of tactics. However, for the Tokugawa army, Hideyasu's blockade made the previous efforts come to naught, and a surprise attack on the scale of a large corps turned into a positional battle, which made the Tokugawa army, which did not have an advantage in strength, fall into a greater disadvantage, in a sense, it was Yuki Hideyasu's blockade that sounded the death knell of the Tokugawa army's rout.

Although the Tokugawa army, at Ieyasu's insistence, later launched an attack on the Yuki army, causing heavy losses, the opportunity was missed. After reinforcements arrived from the surrounding area, Yuki Hideyasu, who had been holding his position, turned to fight against Honda Tadamasa, avoiding the attack of Tokugawa retainers such as Naomasa Ii, and his morale was restored. Although Hideyasu did not achieve too many influential achievements until the end, based on the initial blockade alone, the daimyo in the coalition forces believed that his military exploits were definitely among the top few, plus he was still Hideyoshi's adopted son, and his relationship with Hideho was also harmonious, and he would definitely become a decisive force afterwards.

Tokugawa Ieyasu has a love-hate relationship with Yuki Hideyasu at the moment, not to mention hatred, love is not only the father's tolerance and love for his children, but more importantly, the discovery of Hideyasu's use value.

"Hideyasu may be the last straw for the Tokugawa family." Tokugawa Ieyasu said silently in his heart.

Even though Hideto's words were in advance, due to his previous experience with him and his own years of experience, Ieyasu still had some worries in his heart: "Instead of pinning your fate on an outsider, it is better to gamble on your own people." ”

Yuki Hideyasu is currently the celebrity in front of Hideho, and if he can come forward as a guarantor, the treatment of the Tokugawa clan may be greatly improved in the future.

As for why he thought of using someone who had betrayed him before, Ieyasu had a set of ideas in his mind. promised Ieyasu to be good before, but he temporarily defected on the battlefield, even if someone provoked it, but it also reflected a character trait of Yuki Hideyasu, that is, too much emotion and self-willedness.

Unfortunately, this personality trait was first exploited by Hideho and played a big role. But Ieyasu thinks that if the Toyotomi clan can use it, can't I use the Tokugawa clan too? Xiu Baoding sent someone to woo Xiukang from the fact that Xiu Kang is Hideyoshi's adopted son, and that Jia Kang is Xiu Kang's biological father, should he make better use of this blood relationship? Besides, the sudden defection on the battlefield must have made Xiu Yasu feel a little guilty in his heart, and if he can use it, he will definitely be able to achieve unexpected results.

This is also the main reason why Ieyasu wants to meet with Hideyasu in advance, not for the kind of father-son relationship that Hideho thinks, in Ieyasu's heart, this is just an opportunity to save the Tokugawa clan.

Just as Jiakang was pondering, a low, short knock on the door pulled him back to reality.

"Your Highness the Inner Palace, Major General Yuuki has come to ask for a meeting." The waiter outside the door whispered.

"Ask him to come in." Ieyasu said as he straightened his clothes and adjusted his sitting position.

As the paper doors on both sides were opened, a young man in plain clothes slowly walked into the hall.

"Hideyasu meets his father."

The young man who bowed deeply in front of Ieyasu was Ieyasu's concubine Yuuki Hideyasu, who was known as "Major General Yuki Hashiba". Hideyasu was originally Hideyoshi's adopted son, and later became the adopted son of Yuki Harumi, the head of the Yuki clan, and thus inherited the 110,000 stone Zhixing of the Yuuki clan, but Hideyoshi still allowed him to use the Yushiba Miao character, so he had the seemingly strange name above.

"Please raise your head, the old man is now a defeated general, and it is really difficult to bear such a big gift from His Highness." Ieyasu's words seem sincere, but in fact he deliberately satirizes Xiuyasu.

"Father's words really hurt the sons." Xiuyasu raised his head slightly and looked at Ieyasu, his face full of nervousness and loss.

Ieyasu didn't say anything, but motioned for Xiuyasu to get up and sit down on the side first, and only then did he say when he was seated: "You can be said to have made a great contribution this time, and you are indispensable to the reward of the young lord Xiulai and the right house, the old man is really happy for you." ”

"Father...... Listen to me. Xiukang said nervously.

"There is no need to explain, after all, you are Taige's adopted son, and it is reasonable to make such a choice."

Ieyasu's seemingly understanding persuasion made Hideyasu feel a burst of remorse and loss in his heart: "The son is not only the adopted son of Taiko, but also a member of the Tokugawa clan." ”

"Since it's a Tokugawa clan, have you ever thought about how much impact it would have on your family in the first place? In the past ten days, my Tokugawa elite has been lost, and the strength accumulated for decades has come to naught, and now it is a fish on the board, at the mercy of others, did you ever think of this scene?! ”

"Erchen really didn't expect so much...... I just wanted to let the Toyotomi Tokugawa family get rid of their previous suspicions and regain harmony, so I led my troops to stop it, I never thought that my family would be so ......" Yuki Hideyasu looked aggrieved and distressed, not at all like a great name who had just made great achievements, which is exactly what Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to see.
