Chapter 403: Fatal Betrayal

"What do you say! Ishikawa Shumasa has rebelled! Tokugawa Ieyasu's face was fierce, staring at one of the samurai who was going with him, and his eyes were bursting with anger.

"It's... Be... The retainers and his people who went with him... The warrior was already sweating profusely, and if his son wasn't here, he wouldn't have come back to beg for this bad luck.

"Damn!" Tokugawa Ieyasu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and kicked the messenger over. Treachery! This is a blatant betrayal!

"Does Hosokawa Nobumoto have any requirements for peace?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked with a gloomy face, this is what he is most concerned about now.

"It's... Asking for surrender... Ask for a pledge of less master... Request... The warrior fell to the ground, trembling and not daring to say more.

"Say what! Fast! Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes widened, and it seemed that he should have made some harsh request.

"It's... To confiscate the three rivers! He lowered his head and said it loudly, not daring to look directly into Tokugawa Ieyasu's angry eyes, but he didn't expect Hosokawa Nobumoto to open his mouth and ask for his base: Mikawa Country!

"What! Bastard! Lord! Let's fight with him! ”

"That's right! Fight! Fight! The retainers were immediately enraged, and howled to fight Hosokawa Nobumoto to the death!

Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced around gloomily, thinking to himself, "Someone should come out to dissuade me at this time, oh, damn it!" He thought of Ishikawa Shumasa, and his heart felt even more uncomfortable.

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! The passion of the army had been ignited, but it had not blinded Tokugawa Ieyasu's mind. Ieyasu understood that Ishikawa Shumasa's betrayal was too hard for the family. All the copywriting and deployment of the Tokugawa family passed through his hands, and he held many military secrets in his hands. It can be said that every river, every steep, the advantages and disadvantages are well understood, and even the few grains of rice and a few pennies at home are all clear.

"Can't fight..."This is the conclusion of Tokugawa Ieyasu's mind, and Hosokawa Nobumoto's intention is obvious, which is to provoke him and exhaust his family resources, just like Hashiba Hideyoshi.

"Bear, you must endure! Preserve the soul of these three thousand three rivers! I'll be back! Tokugawa Ieyasu finally agreed to Hosokawa's harsh demands.

The final result Hosokawa Nobugen is also relatively satisfied, and he has to take his time to deal with Tokugawa Ieyasu, but Hashiba Hideyoshi...

At the same time, Niwa Nagahide came to Nagahama Castle, and sure enough, as Sanada Masayuki expected, Hashiba Hideyoshi fled back to the castle, and God knows how he ran back. Nagahide didn't ask in detail, and directly conveyed the intention of the peace negotiation, hoping that Hideyoshi could sign the peace treaty.

*************

"Ning Ning! Ningning! Fast! Pack your things! We're going to get out of here! Hideyoshi Hashiba packed in a panic.

"Your Highness, why are you running away, aren't you talking about peace?" Ning Ning looked at Yushiba Hideyoshi, who was already in chaos, as if he had returned to the monkey who could only bluff in the past.

"Peace? Impossible! He's going to kill me! Definitely! Fast! Grab Ishimatsumaru and let's go! While he's still chasing Tokugawa Ieyasu! "Hideyoshi Hashiba tossed back and forth, wanting to bring everything valuable.

"That's... Let's fight in the city, right? Where can we go on this cold day? Ning Ning looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside, and the temperature was already around minus.

"Ridge City? Joke! Just these little people in the city? Can it stop tens of thousands of troops! What's more, Hosokawa Nobumoto has never had a fortified castle that cannot be attacked! Okay, don't be verbose, bring Ishimatsumaru and Xiusheng! Let's go to the Uesugi family! "Yushiba Hideyoshi carried a large bag and a small bag, like a refugee.

"My lord, the carriages and horses are ready." Horio Yoshiharu entered the house to tell him that he was the first retainer included in the Battle of Inabayama Castle that year, and now he is also entrusted with the important task of serving as the garrison of the headquarters commander Hamajo.

"Excellent! Call for a kiss! Let's go! Yushiba Hideyoshi brought the last bit of the team, looking at the dozen or so people, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

Stompe! Stompe! Nagahama Castle opened its gates, and Hashiba Hideyoshi and others rushed out and went straight to the north.

The north wind was howling, the snowflakes were scattered, and the further north they went, the lower the temperature became, and the bodies of Hideyoshi Hashiba and the others were covered with a thick layer of frost and snow.

At this time, they were staying in Kanazaki, the canyon of the year, and now they were going to Tsuruga Town, and then left by boat from Tsuruga Bay, because the northern country Echizen was the territory of Shibata Katsuya.

"Ishimatsumaru! Ishimatsumaru, wake up! Open your eyes! Open your eyes and look at Dad, ah! Hashiba Hideyoshi's hands trembled, looking at the baby in his arms, his little face was pale and he had frozen to death.

"Your Highness, woo woo, Your Highness, Ishimatsumaru has... Woooooooo Ning Ning couldn't cry at this time, the child died, and the mother was in pain.

"Nope! No! He didn't die! My Ishimatsumaru is not dead! Hideyoshi Hashiba couldn't accept this reality and roared, not letting anyone get close.

"My lord... Lord... You're mourning. The subordinates did not dare to come forward, so they could only persuade each other with good words.

"Nope! No! My baby! Hope for the future of my Yuchai family! I can't live without him!! Woooooo Hideyoshi Hashiba burst into tears and shook his head again and again.

"Lord, lord, you still have the young master Xiusheng, my Yuchai family can also be inherited by him." In order to appease Hashiba Hideyoshi, Horio Yoshiharu pushed the six-year-old Oda Hidekatsu forward, Hidekatsu didn't know whether he was scared or frozen, his little face was pale, and he didn't dare to come forward trembling.

"Xiusheng? Inherit the Yushiba family? Hideyoshi Hashiba tilted his head and looked at Oda Hidekatsu obliquely, a sickly flush appeared on his face.

"yes, yes." Horio Yoshiharu saw that the lord had a reaction, and quickly pushed it again, wanting to make the lord see it more realistically.

"No... No... No... No! Hashiba Hideyoshi kept shaking his head, his expression of resistance was unmistakable.

"What's the matter, lord? The young master of Xiusheng is the successor of Nobunaga to his own family, and it is not an insult to his family. "Horio Yoshiharu, who was born in a samurai family, didn't understand what Hideyoshi was thinking, and in their opinion, it was normal for them to inherit the family name without any heirs in the family.

"Oh no!!" As a result, Hideyoshi Hashiba was stimulated even more, and Oda Nobunaga's playful smiling face appeared in his mind, as if he had buckled himself into a green hat.

"Die! Trying to steal my world! Go to hell! Hideyoshi Hashiba suddenly went berserk and howled and stabbed Oda Hidekatsu to death.

"Lord!" Horio Yoshiharu wanted to stop Hideyoshi, but it was too late, and poor Oda Hidekatsu did not freeze to death in the snowy mountain road, but died at the hands of his jealous adoptive father.

"Hehe... Hahaha! No one! No one can! The world is mine! It's mine! Hahaha! Hahaha! "Hideyoshi Hashiba went crazy, his only son died, and hope was dashed.

In the valley... A shrill laugh echoed.
