Just when Shohisa Hasami made up his mind to break with the faction, Mitsunari Ishida, who was far away in Ninomaru and practiced Yashiki, also received a request from Takayoshi Sagishima.

Ishida Mitsunari, who was originally in charge of Sannomaru Masuda Nagamori Yashiki, immediately retreated to Ninomaru after learning that Mano Yoribao had defected, and returned to his home in Yashiki to continue commanding, at this time, he had less than 300 people left around to protect, but he didn't care, after all, as long as Hayami Mamoru sat in the inner bridge for a long time, he was safe for the time being.

Knowing that Ito Nagami was unwilling to face each other with Mano Yoribao, Ishida Mitsunari was a little surprised, but it was not unexpected, after all, Mano and Ito are both veterans who have followed Hideyoshi from birth to death for many years, and it is indeed a bit unkind to let them kill each other, and it is really difficult to start.

"Zuo Saku (referring to Sagishima Takayoshi) is asking me to persuade Mano Toyogo?" Ishida Mitsunari revealed a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.

The samurai sent by Sagishima Sasaku nodded and said, "Exactly, Sagishima-sama said that Ito Tango Mamoru was reluctant to attack the Mano Army in the past, and many of the samurai under his command also had deep friendships with Bungo Mamoru and was afraid to use force rashly......"

"I'm afraid of what?" Ishida Mitsunari asked.

"I'm afraid...... It would backfire, and the situation would be out of his control......" The samurai replied in a low voice, perhaps knowing that this answer would cause Ishida Mitsunari to be dissatisfied, so from time to time he peeked at the pen in front of him, trying not to provoke him as much as possible.

"However, with only a thousand Mano troops, even without the support of Itodan's rear guards, I believe that Sagishima and Otani can be easily defeated. Didn't he raise him as the leader of the Seven Hands Group in the first place? You go back and tell him that I don't have time to take care of him here, and if Tango Mamoru doesn't want to make a move, let him return to the jade stoma, and in any case, he must surrender Mano Yoibao, otherwise, he won't have to come back to see me. Ishida Mitsunari's words were full of coldness and coercion, which really frightened the Sagishima samurai in front of him.

"Yes!" After listening to Ishida Mitsunari's instructions, the samurai turned around and was about to leave without saying a word, but as soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Ishida Mitsunari again.

"Monk Masashi (Maeda Genyi) is on his way back from the jade stoma at this time, you tell Zuo Saku, I will let him persuade Dango Shou, if even Monk Zheng can't persuade him, he can only take strong measures. That's the only thing I can do at the moment...... So far, he is the leader of the Seven Hands group, and if he loses this time, there is no guarantee that he will be able to find another place in Osaka Castle in the future, and now that he has said that, I am sure he will make the right decision. After all, Ishida Mitsunari still couldn't bear to be ruthless to Sagishima Sasaku and Otani Mitsuyasu, who were personally promoted, after all, these two young generals were the only ones left in the Seven Hands Group who really fully supported him.

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and just after dealing with the matter in front of him, the situation of the Bliss Bridge made Ishida Mitsunari distressed.

The Bridge of Paradise is not far from the Honmaru castle tower, and its natural importance is far above that of Ninomaru, although he knows that the gun Soho has led his troops to investigate, but Ishida Mitsunari still has a trace of worry in his heart: "The stable going to the Bridge of Paradise will inevitably cause the defense of Honmaru to be empty, and if there are thieves who take the opportunity to make trouble, it may be difficult to parry." ”

Thinking of this, Ishida Mitsunari was really relieved, and he immediately handed over the three hundred imperial horses guarding him to his brother Ishida Masasumi and asked him to rush to Honmaru to assist in the defense. Ishida Masasumi persuaded him to go with him, but he refused on the grounds that it was "inconvenient to dispatch troops and horses". In desperation, Ishida Masasumi had to leave his eldest son, Ishida Asasari, to protect Sannari and lead the remaining troops to Honmaru.

At this time, there were only thirteen close retainers left around Ishida Mitsunari, and most of them expressed concern about Mitsunari staying in Ninomaru, but Ishida Mitsunari thought that Hayami Morihisa was already wary of himself, and if he retreated to Honmaru at this moment and left Hasamizu alone, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Hasamizu army. At the same time, in order to better command the battle outside of Ninomaru, staying here is the only choice, and only by sitting in the town can the morale of the army not be chaotic and the situation can be stabilized.

But the reality played a huge joke with Ishida Mitsunari: Hayami Morihisa did not stick to the inner bridge because of his kind actions, but led his troops to occupy Honmaru first, not only successfully invited Hideyori and Yodohime, but also captured Masuda Nagamori and Nagazuki Masaka, who were busy quelling rumors. What's even more ironic is that the 300 troops sent by Ishida Mitsunari to support Ken Soho were also disarmed by the Hasamizu Army outside the Honmaru Otemon Gate, and without using a single knife or shot, Ishida Masassumi and his son became prisoners of Shohisa Hayami.

With the stabilization of the situation in Honmaru, Hideyori and Yodohime, surrounded by Shohisa Shohi and others, went to the Bridge of Paradise and immediately ordered Muneho and Hideren Matsuura to disarm. In the face of the situation in front of them, despite all the doubts and helplessness in their hearts, the two team leaders still put down their weapons and went to Bizen Island to wait for disposal, and Nomura Yukinari was out of danger.

On the other side, Katsutoshi Kinoshita arrived in the formation of the Ito army with the imperial order, and Nagami Ito, who was reluctant to go to war, immediately took Katsutoshi Kinoshita to persuade Mitsuyasu Otani and Takayoshi Sagishima.

Previously, because of Ishida Mitsunari's instructions, Sagishima Takayoshi once wanted to leave Ito Nagami alone to attack the Mano army, but now that he saw the imperial order of Hideyori Hanata, his attitude changed again.

"Now that we have lost even our righteous reputation, what reason do we have to start a war?" Mitsuyasu Ohtani, the leader of the temporary group, also retreated.

Sagishima Takayoshi hung his head and thought for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and took the imperial order from Kinoshita Katsutoshi: "The minister respectfully obeys the order of the young master, and immediately... Withdraw troops..."Sagijima Takayoshi is not a fool, since Kinoshita Katsutoshi came from Honmaru, he guessed that Honmaru and even Ninomaru are no longer at the head of the faction, although Ishida Mitsunari has the grace of knowing him, but as Mitsunari said, "So far, he is still the leader of the Seven Hands Group, and if he loses this time, no one can guarantee whether he will be able to have another place in this Osaka Castle in the future", now, it is time to plan for his future.

At this moment, a rather funny scene happened: Maeda Genyi followed the instructions of Ishida Mitsunari and happened to arrive in the formation of Sagishima Takayoshi, although he was a little puzzled by Kinoshita Katsutoshi's arrival, but he still persuaded Ito Nagami to attack Mano Yoribo with Sagishima and Otani in front of everyone.

At this time, Takayoshi Sagishima handed the imperial decree to Genyi Maeda, and he felt that something was wrong, even if he made an excuse to return to Ninomaru. Kinoshita Katsutoshi is not stupid, how could he let him go to report to Ishida Mitsunari, and immediately ordered the samurai of the Kinoshita family to arrest him, and after obtaining the consent of Ito Nagami and others, he put Maeda Genyoi under house arrest and waited for him to be handed over to Hideho.

In this way, except for Ninomaru's Yashiki, the hustle and bustle in Osaka Castle finally subsided, and Ishida Mitsunari, who was still kept in the dark, suddenly fell into an embarrassing and pathetic situation.
