"Is that why you have so much faith in the Inner House?" Hideho looked displeased, although he knew in his heart that there was still a gap between himself and Tokugawa Ieyasu, but these words came out of Maeda Toshiya's mouth with a bitterness and sarcasm: "Don't you think that Zaixia is not a 'mediocre person', and there is a lot to do?" ”

"That being said, it seems that you are still a long way from the inner house" Maeda Toshiie bluntly said, "To make an inappropriate analogy, do you think that if a newborn lion and an adult hound clash with an adult, who will win in the end?" ”

"A newborn lion...", Hideho repeated, muttering, "A newborn lion must have difficulty even standing up, how can it be a match for a hound."

"And if it's an adult lion, an adult lion and an adult hound, who do you think will win?"

"Needless to ask, of course it's an adult lion... Wait, what do you mean? Hideho looked at Maeda Toshiya as if he had realized something

Maeda Toshiya nodded: "That's right, once the lion grows up, even the three hounds may not be its opponents, but the current situation is that you are still a lion cub, how can you fight against a strong hound dog, although it is very cruel, but the old man still wants to tell you that if you insist on the inner house, the result will not be much better than the lion cub, therefore, the expedient measure is to maintain obscurity, temporarily compromise with the inner house, in exchange for the time to develop and strengthen yourself, if it goes well, the day of the death of the inner house, is the time when your Yamato right house takes over the world."

Until then, the Tokugawa family was still the most powerful force in the world, which is why the old man entrusted the Maeda family to him, although you may win in the end, but at least in the next few years, this world will be the Tokugawa family, and Toshinaga will survive because of the blessing of the inner house, and there is only so much the old man can do."

After listening to Maeda Toshiya's words, Hideho fell into loss and pessimism for a while and couldn't extricate himself, but when he thought of the incident sixteen years later, he got rid of this emotion and said to Maeda Toshiya very firmly: "Da Nayan is very reasonable, Hideho admires it very much, but how can there be a cat in the world that is afraid of mice, and lions are afraid of dogs, even if the prospect is unpredictable, I don't intend to give in to it, I'm really sorry, and I hope His Royal Highness can understand"

"Why, for the sake of so-called dignity and honor, are you willing to be ruined?" In the face of Maeda Toshi's slightly sarcastic ridicule, Hideho could only smile bitterly, he couldn't tell the Toshiya that sixteen years later, it was because of Toyotomi Hideyori's "Taoguang Yanghui" that the city would be ruined and the family would be wiped out. Of course, it was not Hideyoshi himself who set the Taohui strategy, but his biological mother Yodohime and teacher Katagiri and Mototo, they thought that the world would be peaceful after the Battle of Sekigahara, and the Toyotomi family could continue the supremacy of Hideyoshi, but it turned out that the world was too peaceful, but at this time the world had slipped from the hands of the Toyotomi family, and the day had entered the era of the Tokugawa family, and this scene must have been something that Yodohime never expected

Therefore, Hideho can understand why Ishida Sansei was in a hurry to fight Tokugawa Ieyasu before everything was ready: Mitsunari regularly foresaw that Ieyasu might be using the method of "boiling frogs in warm water" to gradually digest and assimilate the Toyotomi clan's henchmen, trying to take over the world without bloodshed, and all he could do was to gather forces that had not yet been digested and deceived by Ieyasu to fight against the water, as long as he succeeded, the largest hostile force of the Toyotomi family would disappear, and at that time, even if the world fell into fragmentation again, It is also much better than being annexed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, because it will definitely take a long time for a super daimyo like Ieyasu to appear again

And during this time, the Toyotomi family will be the same as the Muromachi shogunate back then, maintaining relative security (the Ashikaga Yoshiteru brothers are wonderful, except for the two of them), and Hideyori still has two million stone Chiyuki and various metropolises and foreign trade rights in his hands, as long as he uses it well, maybe before the rise of other forces, the Toyotomi family will be able to overwhelm the crowd and be at the top of power again, of course, this is the best plan

In short, although Ishida Mitsunari's original idea had a great "side effect", it is still worthy of recognition, after all, at that time, only Tokugawa Ieyasu could pose a threat to Hideyori in the world, but now it is different, in addition to Edo, there is more Yamato's force, which made Ishida Mitsunari's judgment wrong, so that the idea of "Outside must first be inside" was born, and the spearhead was pointed at Hideho, who was also a member of the Toyotomi family

"Maybe, as the hindsight of the young master, there is still the consciousness of Hideho who is loyal to the Toyotomi family" Hideho deliberately showed disdain, after all, the Maeda Toshiya has already had a good relationship with the three parties, and now even if he tells him what he thinks in his heart, it will be useless, after all, talking on paper will not let him change his bets, for Maeda Toshiya, strength, is the best proof, so it's okay, he didn't put the chips on himself, and then he didn't have to show more mercy to Maeda Toshinaga

Sure enough, Maeda Toshi's face became ugly, with a sense of contempt and helplessness: "The old man who should say it has already said it, and the old man can't care if he doesn't listen to it, and he doesn't want to care, since you plan to do a big job, please hurry back and prepare well, maybe there are really nobles to help you."

"Nobleman, hum" Hideho knew that the Maeda Toshiya was issuing an eviction order, so it was inconvenient to stay longer, but before going out, he said meaningfully: "Hideho believes that Taiko's spirit in the sky will definitely bless me with victory, but then again, the people Taiko's most trusted people in his life have thrown themselves into the arms of the Tokugawa family, so what's the use of pinning his dissipation on the ethereal spirit, do you say, His Highness Da Nayan?" ”

"You!" Maeda Toshiya glared angrily, gasped, blushed but speechless, and directly waved his hand to let shì send off the guest

"That's it" Xiubao stopped his footsteps, and said in a frivolous manner: "You better stay and serve Da Nayan, Xiubao is still young, these few steps, you can still walk" After speaking, he didn't care about Maeda Toshiie's face, and swaggered out of the bedroom

"The shaft can't be taught!" Looking at the back of Xiubao, Maeda Toshiya cursed with extreme resentment, "The foundation of Xiu Changgong is probably going to be buried in the hands of this child."

Although he has his own ideas, but for the next period of time, Hideho is still obsessed with the words of the Maeda Toshiya, and even he has become a wall-to-wall grass, what will happen to those little daimyo who are deeply favored by Hideyoshi? Although powerful daimyo such as Kato Kiyomasa Fukushima Masanori Asano Nagamasa in the Toyotomi clan have shown their loyalty to themselves, what about the many small daimyos, Hideyoshi Sendaishi, who guarded Usui Ice Pass, who sat on Uedawara's Sanada Masayuki to occupy Otsu Castle, and Wakisaka Yasuharu of Awaji Island, these small daimyo who had few knowledge and deeds, but occupied an important position, and who ignored Hideho's call to return the royal land, was enough to express their thoughts, can they be brought over, It will be the key to whether Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari can resist the attack in the future, and Hideho suddenly realized at this moment that maybe he was already a move short of chess (to be continued!).
