Matsuno Shigemoto's words not only shocked the pro-Tokugawa Inadari, but even Kobayakawa Hideaki was also surprised, he frowned and thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly showed a cold light.

"How many troops are still in the inner house's main formation?" Kobayakawa Hideaki asked coldly.

"Tonight, Fang divided 8,000 troops to support the two divisions of Torii and Naito, and now there should be only 12,000 people left." Matsuno replied confidently.

Hearing this, Dao Zhengcheng seemed to understand Kobayakawa Hideaki's plan, and hurriedly stopped: "My lord, the total strength of this family is only 13,000, how can it fight against the 12,000 banners of the inner government?" Besides, the family has betrayed the tacit agreement with the Uesugi family, and it is already treacherous, so how can it turn its back on the right house now? was able to return to the ability at the beginning, thanks to the inner government, this kindness, the lord should not forget! ”

Obviously, Dao Zhengcheng was determined to speak for Tokugawa Ieyasu, but he didn't expect that Kobayakawa Hideaki didn't care about the Tokugawa family's kindness in the past, but the sentence "treachery" made Hideaki angry, he grabbed Inamasari's clothes and scolded loudly: "Are you my Xiuqiu's retainer or a spy in the inner house?!" The matter has come to this point, the family has no way to retreat, and the only way to get the post-war seal is to attack the inner mansion and the main formation, don't you understand?! ”

"But...... The inner government is kind to this family! Dao Zhengcheng retorted hesitantly, "It's really not the husband's ...... to do this."

"Bastard!" Kobayakawa Hideaki pushed him to the ground and ordered the samurai on both sides to pull Inadari down and confine, and he must not be released without his order.

Seeing this scene, those retainers who were close to or sympathetic to the Tokugawa clan were all silent, and did not dare to question Kobayakawa Hideaki's decision.

"Shigegen," Hideaki Kobayakawa asked, "it's late at night, how can I get close to the Inner Mansion Honjin without being noticed?" ”

"The lord's words are wrong," Matsuno Shigegen smiled slightly, "even if the inner government finds out about that?" The family can go to the inner house and the main camp openly. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't forget, my lord. At this time, the family is still an ally of the inner government. ”

Kobayakawa Hideaki patted his head and suddenly realized: "Yes, I am an ally of the Inner Government, but I led the entire army to its home camp for no reason, won't the Inner Government suspect it?" ”

"The lord doesn't have to worry," Matsuno Shigemoto said with relief, "As long as the inner government still wants to win this battle, it will definitely send someone to ask for help tonight." When the time comes, the Lord will see the opportunity to act. ”

"Are you sure that the Inner Government will send someone?" Kobayakawa Hideaki was a little unconvinced, "If you miss the opportunity here, I'm going to ask for you." ”

"Please rest assured, the minister is willing to take responsibility for this." Matsuno Shigegen bowed solemnly and returned to his camp to stand by.

Kobayakawa Hideaki although his heart is drumming. But he still followed Matsuno Shigemoto's advice, stood still, and waited for the arrival of the Tokugawa envoy.

As Matsuno expected, half an hour later, Honda Masasashi rushed to Kobayakawa's main camp in pure wind and dust, bringing him a letter from Tokugawa Ieyasu asking for help and an oath promising a reward after the war.

The moment he read the letter, Kobayakawa was indeed a little surprised. However, his surprise did not come from the 1.4 million stone reward promised by Tokugawa Ieyasu and the position of Sekihaku, but because he felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu would write such a promise that would not be fulfilled at all in order to win him over.

Although Kobayakawa is young, his dealings with Tokugawa Ieyasu are not a day or two, he knows Tokugawa Ieyasu's temperament and bottom line, and this time he went out to Hinohara in order to seize the world, in this case, how could he give himself a great reward of 1.4 million stones? To know. Hideho's table height is only two million stones, and it is not easy to defeat him, but he wants to support a million-stone Toyotomi daimyō, is Tokugawa Ieyasu stupid or does he take himself for a fool?

Apparently the latter. Therefore, in Kobayakawa Hideaki's eyes, this oath is a piece of waste paper, not only can he not win himself over. Instead, it exposed the desperate predicament of the Tokugawa family. Of course, he did not show these traces on his face, but in a sympathetic tone, he solemnly assured Honda Masamune, "Please go back and tell the inner government." His kindness Xiuqiu remembered in his heart, and at this moment it was the time for Xiuqiu to repay his kindness, if there was any instruction, it would be okay to say it, and he would do his best. ”

"Jin Wu is really a great husband who knows kindness and repays kindness!" Honda praised excitedly, "In today's battle, the family lost part of its troops, and of course, the rebels of the right province did not take advantage... According to my lord's prediction, reinforcements from northern Sichuan will arrive in Hinobara tonight, and if this is the case, tomorrow's battle will be very unfavorable to my family, so my lord asked me to convey to His Highness that I hope you can attack Yubara Higashiyamaguchi at night, defeat the defenders of Fukushima Izumo Mamoru and Kikita Iki Mamoru, and open up the Yubara River Valley, and then the family will send two adults, Okubo Tadatsune and Kamihara Yasumasa, to assist His Highness, and from there, they will go straight to the west to the main camp of the Right House, kill the Right House and disrupt the enemy's position, so that the family can have the last laugh......"

"Wait," Kobayakawa Hideaki felt more and more incredulous the more he listened, "Listen to what you mean, the inner house is to let the main family fight against the two Toyotomi armies of Yubara?" ”

Honda Masamune nodded: "Exactly, these two armies have been fighting fiercely with our army for a day during the day, and they must be exhausted, Your Highness's sneak attack at this moment will definitely be successful." ”

"Izumo has a thousand soldiers, and there is Toyotomi Goshibei, who is the best at iron cannons; Kaida Iki was brave and good at fighting, and the 5,000 troops brought by him were the proud of the right government, and his military achievements were impressive. Fight these two... There is really no confidence in the bottom. ”

Hearing Kobayakawa Hideaki say this, Honda Masamune was a little disappointed: "Looking at the overall situation, the only one who can fight against the right house is you, Jingo, if you don't even have confidence, the family simply surrenders directly, what's the point of going on?" But as soon as the family surrenders, some things will inevitably be leaked, if the right house knows about the relationship between you and me, what His Royal Highness did before was all in vain, right? ”

"Are you threatening me?!" Although Kobayakawa Hideaki is insidious, but his temper is hot, and he can't tolerate others threatening him, Honda Masamune's words are completely counterproductive, completely dispelling Kobayakawa's hesitation and making him firm in his determination to surprise Ieyasu's main camp.

"The ministers don't dare." Honda Masashi knew that he had angered Kobayakawa Hideaki, but he didn't expect that Hideaki would not do anything and kill people directly.

Therefore, Honda Masashi only bowed fearlessly to apologize, and once again asked Kobayakawa Hideaki to follow Tokugawa Ieyasu's arrangement and send troops to Yubara.

"Your Highness probably has no other way to help my family turn defeat into victory, so please follow the instructions of my lord and surprise attack the Toyotomi rebels in Yubara." Honda said solemnly.

"The risk of a surprise attack is too great, and there is a suggestion below, I wonder if you can listen to it?" As he was talking, Matsuno Shigegen came from outside the tent, and he saluted Kobayakawa Hideaki respectfully, and then sat down opposite Honda Masamune, and solemnly suggested: "The main family directly led troops to support the two divisions of Torii and Sanada on the main battlefield, and broke through the defense line from the front and smashed the main camp of the right house. What do adults think of this trick? ”
