Of course, Hideho knew what Asano was expecting him to say at the moment, but he didn't say it immediately, but speculated about Ishida's intentions.

As the hindsight of Hideyori, Hideho holds the name of righteousness, and this time he has a heavy army, and he has the support of most of the daimyo in the world, so he is not afraid of Ishida Mitsunari at all. To put it bluntly, as long as he wants, he can immediately mobilize more than 100,000 troops from to besiege Osaka, and he will be able to take the center of the Toyotomi clan in less than five days.

However, even ordinary people know that going against themselves will not end well, so why did Ishida Mitsunari go the opposite way and insist on sticking to Osaka? That's where the problem lies.

In the face of the 100,000-strong army around Osaka Castle, the reason why Ishida Mitsunari dared to hit a stone with an egg can only be explained by testing his loyalty in Hidebo's view.

Osaka is the residence of the Toyotomi clan and the center of the world since Hideyoshi, and if Hidebo dares to use force against Osaka, regardless of the reason, it will be regarded as an internal struggle of the Toyotomi clan to a certain extent, which will not do anything to maintain the authority of the Toyotomi clan.

After a series of events after Hideyoshi's death, especially several large-scale battles, Hidebo gradually became the guardian of the Toyotomi regime in the eyes of most daimyos, and his prestige gradually accumulated through this role. If Hideho used force against Osaka at this time, no matter how high-sounding the reason was, and whether Ishida Mitsunari could represent Hideyori or not, he would not be able to hide the fact that Toyotomi had split up to attack the castle of the Munei family, so that no matter what the results were, Hidebo's behavior would inevitably be criticized and his prestige would be greatly reduced.

This is only secondary, the most important thing is that the division of the family to attack the clan family, wouldn't it further "carry forward" the "lower and higher" of the troubled times of the Warring States Period? This is absolutely impossible for Xiubao, who wants to stabilize the world and create a peaceful and prosperous world.

Hideho felt that if he had ambitions, based on the above two points, he would never dare to use force against Osaka at this time, but he would not enter Osaka Castle unprepared, because what was waiting for him was likely to be an ambush on all sides and ten deaths.

But on the other hand, what if you don't have ambition? Then you can't lead the army to storm Osaka, there are currently two elders, four commissioners and Hideyoshi's main room Kodaiin in the city, and the war is ignited before the situation is clear, and the Owari faction may stupidly listen to their orders to charge into battle, but from the perspective of others, this is by no means something that should be done in hindsight, after all, Hideyori's life and death are uncertain, and whether Ishida Mitsunari rebelled or not remains to be verified, and rashly attacking this first city in the world is definitely not the work of loyal ministers and wise men.

It can be seen from this that regardless of whether Hideho has the intention of seizing Hideyori's power or not, he cannot use force against Ishida Mitsunari at this time, and how to enter the city to meet Hideyori and Yodohime still needs to be considered in the long run. But what is certain is that we must not follow the advice of the Nagazuki Masa family and enter the city alone, and no one can say whether Ishida Mitsunari can treat himself and these victorious daimyo rationally, and if he really wants to eliminate the people who pose a threat to Hideyori in one fell swoop, then this time entering the city is the best time to "physically exterminate".

After careful consideration, Xiubao said to the Nagashu family: "What the attendant said is also that it is getting late today, and your lords are also dusty and tired along the way. According to the following opinion, it is better to rest first, take care of it tomorrow, and then enter the city to meet the young master and his wife. ”

"Your Highness, this ......" Yukinaga Asano, Masanori Fukushima and others were a little unwilling, and just wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Fujido Takatora.

"You guys will rest for one night for the time being, and it's not too late to set off tomorrow, and you will enter the city at night to meet you, and you are not afraid of disturbing the rest of the young master and his wife?" Fujido Gaohu patiently persuaded.

"Now that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has spoken, what else can we say." Asano Yukinaga knew that most of Fujido Takatora's words represented Hideho's attitude, so it was inconvenient to say more, so he could only take the lead and go back to the room to rest under the guidance of the little surname. Seeing this, the other daimyo had no choice but to give up, and the group of three or five gradually dispersed, and when Nagashu Masaya saw this, he was relieved in his heart, and after saying goodbye to Hidebo, he got up and returned to his room.

As the crowd dispersed, Fujido Takatora and other retainers of the Yamato Toyotomi clan also got up and left, but instead of returning to the room they had prepared for themselves, they came to Hideho's house in twos and threes.

"My lord, with all due respect, it was a mistake not to enter the city tonight." Regarding Hidebo's approach just now, although Fujido Takatora expressed understanding on the surface, he still felt a little regretful in private.

"What do you mean by what the Ministry of Civil Affairs is saying?" Dao Qingxing asked confusedly: "If you only bring two or three followers into the city according to what the attendant of Changshu said, who can guarantee the safety of the lord?" Now that it's dragged on overnight, it can be regarded as a static brake to see what Ishida Jibu in Osaka Castle wants to do. ”

"Ishida Jibu has been guarding Osaka for 20 days, and I'm afraid this is the day I'm waiting for." Fujitang Gaohu frowned, and muttered with a serious face: "Obviously, he just wants to give the lord a dismount and tell these daimyo that this Osaka Castle is still the residence of the Toyotomi clan, and it is not something that can be entered and exited casually, and this world is still the world of the young lord of Xiulai, and he Ishida is still the most trusted retainer of the clan family." ”

"If you say so, Your Highness's compromise just now... Did you make a mistake? Shima Qingxing was also a little disappointed when he heard it.

"At that time, I shouldn't have listened to his rhetoric, and simply killed Sannomaru with handsome soldiers, I don't believe that those rabble dare to be enemies of the world!" Takayoshi Fukushima said angrily, and also looked at Nasu Ziyoshi and Ogasawara Tadashi, who have always been hardliners in the family and have never liked to compromise, and at such times, they should support their own views.

Sure enough, Nasu Ziji also nodded, and echoed casually: "With the 50,000 elites brought by my family, as well as the more than 50,000 troops outside the city, there is no need to worry at all, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to take advantage of the darkness to kill and enter the city, so as not to have many dreams at night, and also save being led by the nose by those few commissioners." ”

"Why, you all think I'm compromising by doing this?" Listening to the words of the retainers, Xiubao gradually had a plan in his heart.

"The ministers don't dare." Fujido Gaohu and others immediately bowed down and admitted their mistakes.

"You should know that I have never been afraid of those who do it." Hideho motioned for everyone to get up, and then carefully analyzed: "What I'm worried about is that after the war, how will I behave in this world, in this Toyotomi family's home?" But I just came up with an idea...... Gao Hu, you immediately call me Shikaemon. ”

"Kaemon?" Hearing that Hideho was going to summon one of the four shinobi, the Misty Hidden Deer Uemon, Fujido Takatora couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Could it be that the lord wants to send a ninja to the city to investigate first?" ”
