Hideho and Aoki Hisaki looked at each other and smiled, and after placing the prisoners, they returned to the tent to rest, and temporarily handed over the command of the front line to Fujido Takatora, who immediately led 5,000 elites to move east to the main battlefield after receiving the order, and joined up with the 7,000 troops of Wasuka Iemasa and Yuki Hideyasu, and prepared to launch a full-scale attack on Honda Tadamasa as soon as dawn, break through the Tokugawa army's defense line from the middle, and directly attack the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp.

After sensing the movement of the Toyotomi army, Tokugawa Ieyasu also made corresponding transfers, first, he handed over all 3,200 people of the Tokugawa Three Divisions in Yubara to the command of Kanhara Yasumasa, and ordered him to guard against Yubara Higashiyamaguchi and prevent Fukushima Takayoshi and Kioda Keiyoshi from sneaking attack; Secondly, the 6,000 remnants of the Sakai family were placed under the command of Sanada Nobuyuki, who led them to the main battlefield to support Honda Tadamasa, while the 3,000 sergeants of Honda Tadakatsu moved forward to the former Watanabe Fortification position, ready to reinforce the main battlefield at any time; The 8,000 men of Okubo Tadatsune and Honda Yasushige are the most complete army at present, and they are still on standby southeast of Yubara, one to support Kanhara Yasumasa, and to contain the 8,000 troops of Fukushima Masanori, as for the people and Hosokawa Tadashiko 5,000 men on the former Okuhei Iesho position, they can only rely on Honda Tadakatsu for deterrence.

To say that the north wing is barely enough, the south wing is really unsustainable. Before the truce in the evening, a total of 8,000 troops of Nakiyoshi and Hidenaga Kajiri entered the position of Naomasa Harai, and formed a three-fold situation with Hosokawa Tadashi and Yuki Hideyasu in the north, south, and west to form a three-bread sandwich against Honda Tadamasa, only to wait for the next morning Fujido Takatora to give an order to launch the final battle against the Tokugawa army forward.

Not only was it difficult to make up for the gap, but the only two remaining reserves on the southern flank also lost troops and halved their combat strength. At the time of the truce, Tadamasa Torii fought 3,000 against Kyogoku Takaji's 6,000, and Naito Masari's 2,000 against Mori Hidemoto's 7,000. He ordered Okubo Tadashi to lead 3,000 banners to reinforce the Torii Tadamasa, and Okubo Tadasaku to lead 5,000 banners to reinforce Naito Masaribu, and send the forces of the main camp to the front, which is enough to show Tokugawa Ieyasu's helplessness and embarrassment.

Upon receiving this news, Fujido Takatora immediately asked Hideho for instructions, and considering that it was impossible for the Tokugawa army to launch a second surprise attack, Hidebo decided to transfer 5,000 Imperial Horses to the front line to reinforce Mori Hidemoto. Fight for victory.

At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu no longer had the confidence and satisfaction he had when the war began, on the contrary, when he learned that the generals had died one after another and the war in northern Sichuan had ended, he revealed a trace of disappointment and inferiority in his words, especially after the failure of the plan to attack Xiubao's main camp, he was even more discouraged. At the military meeting before dark, he turned out to be unusual. Honda listened carefully to the suggestion that Honda Masashi wanted to withdraw his troops, which would have been absolutely impossible before the war began.

Although he did not say anything about Honda's proposal, this move was enough to show that his heart had begun to waver: how could 50,000 against 70,000 turn the tide now? Not only that, but the 37,000 troops of northern Sichuan are also about to arrive in southern Sichuan, plus the 13,000 men of Kobayakawa Hideaki...... I'm afraid it's hard to even retreat after dawn, right?

Come to think of this. A bright light flashed in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes: "Kingo...... Jin Wu hasn't said anything yet! Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately summoned Honda Masanobu into the account and said excitedly: "You immediately send someone to Utagawaso to contact Kingo, and ask him to lead his troops south to surprise Fukushima Takayoshi in Yubara." The Fukushima army has a total of 11,000 troops, and with the strength of Jingo, it will definitely succeed, and the main family still has 3,200 people stationed at Higashiyama Pass, and when the time comes, they will attack together to regain control of Yubara in one fell swoop, and then they will march west along the Yubara River valley and attack the main camp of the right province from the northeast, which will definitely make the formation of the Toyotomi army chaotic, and the main family will attack at this time. The outcome is not yet known! ”

"Lord!" Honda Masanobu did not act, but asked solemnly: "Isn't inviting Jin Wu to send troops to tell him that his family has no soldiers available?" In this case, will Kingo take the risk of helping the family? Besides, with Jin Wu's person, he will never risk his life without much interest, he was stationed in Utagawa Village for half a day, watching the fire from the other side, it is enough to show this, with your original promise, I'm afraid I can't impress Jin Go, right? ”

"What you said is very ......" Tokugawa Ieyasu calmed down for a moment, and after some consideration, he proposed: "Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Iki Shikoku 840,000 stone Zhixing, plus a request to the imperial court to canonize him as Guan Bai, and replace Hideyori to take charge of the Toyotomi clan, these chips should be enough, right?" ”

"Eight hundred and forty thousand stone ......," Honda Masanobu said after a moment's thought, "it is better to add five hundred and sixty thousand Hizen, so that it may be able to impress Kingo." ”

"That's 1,400,000 stones!" Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Honda Masanobu in surprise and asked in disbelief: "It's really impossible to give him a reward of 1.4 million yuan for just such a little military achievement." ”

"Although the battle exploits are small, they are of great significance, if there are no thirteen thousand people in him, the family can only sit and wait to be swallowed by the Toyotomi army one by one, lord, are you willing?!"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu was speechless, he waved his hand helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Just do as you say, send someone quickly." ”

Honda Masanobu bowed slightly, hurried out of the main camp, and sent his sister-in-law Honda Masasumi to Utagawaso, hoping to show the importance of the Kobayakawa clan and win Kobayakawa's trust.

At two o'clock in the morning, except for Hidebo, the generals of the Toyotomi army and the Tokugawa army were sleepless, and Honda Masaden galloped on the path to Utagawaso, and at the same time, the Toyotomi army in northern Sichuan finally arrived at the Yubara Kitayama Pass, and Fukushima Takayoshi personally went out to greet him, and this tired army could finally rest a little and prepare for a big battle with the Tokugawa army the next day.

The news of the arrival of reinforcements from northern Sichuan quickly spread throughout the Toyotomi tribes, including Kobayakawa Hideaki, who was far away in Utagawaso, and at this moment, Kobayakawa had been wandering in the candlelight for an unknown amount of time, and the retainers were all anxious about the next day's decision.

"The army of the inner government was so unbeaten, only one day, it was defeated and retreated, what did you say at the beginning that it was foolproof, hum, fortunately there was no defection, otherwise it would not be as willing to be cannon fodder as the Yoshikawa family? Now that the military strength of northern Sichuan has also arrived in Yuyuan, the general trend has been decided, and it seems that there is no room for the family to play. ”

"My lord, what should I do tomorrow, I can't watch the Tokugawa family be destroyed, right?" Inaba Masari asked worriedly, "If the Inner House is captured, then the matter of his previous collusion with the family will be revealed to the world, and at that time, the family may not be able to escape punishment!" ”

"That's true," Kobayakawa Hideaki looked embarrassed, "then what should I do, I can't turn to the inner house at this moment and attack the right house together, only a fool would do this." ”

"There's another way," Matsuno Shigegen whispered, "to redeem the credit." Launched an attack on the Tokugawa army in one step, so that there was a high chance of a surprise attack on the main camp of the inner government and the elimination of the entire command level, so that there was no proof of death; Even if there is a living mouth, with this exploit, he will be punished lightly after the war. After all, this family is different from the Uesugi clan, and has never threatened the Toyotomi army, coupled with the friendship of the adopted son of the Toyotomi clan, the right house will never be punished severely, on the contrary, there may be a reward! ”
