In the Honnoji Temple, smoke and fire burn.

Among the temple's several gates, the ashigaru of the Musashi Legion were breaking through and fighting with Takeda Nobukatsu's flank attendants.

The two sides killed the corpses, and the shouts shook the sky.

Takeda Nobukatsu's flank approached, and he was defeated by the sudden military momentum of the opponent from all sides, and he died one after another.

On the wall, the innocent monks and maids who suffered this disaster climbed over the wall, but who knew that this was not the way to live.

The iron cannons of the outer Musashi country are light and take turns to shoot with iron cannons and those who have fled.

They were ordered not to let a single person escape.

Near Honnoji Temple, the walls were covered with blood and corpses were piled up.

In the military situation on the side, the fire was bright, shining Takeda Nobutoyo and Mochizuki Nobunaga.

Takeda Nobutoyo showed a little guilt on his face at the moment, while Mochizuki Nobunaga was as calm as water.

"Tell Your Highness, our army has entered the middle hall and is cleaning up the corpses, and His Royal Highness Nobukatsu must have committed suicide in the fire."

Nobunaga Mochizuki gave a high-five, and said with a smile: "Very good, the big thing has been done." ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi turned his head, looked at Nobunaga Mochizuki, and said, "Nobunaga, how should I explain to my father right now?" ”

Nobunaga Mochizuki smiled: "This is simple, this matter has become a fact, father, can you still kill us like this?" After all, we are his sons, and we need to pass on the family business, and at most we will blame it, and in the end we will not be able to admit what we have done. ”

"When the time comes, our two brothers will plead, and it will be fine."

Takeda Nobutoyo sneered and said, "You can think well. ”

Mochizuki Shin Yongyan said: "Brother, to this day, you are still dissatisfied with me, you must know what I have been planning hard for, this matter is done, you can be a person from the world." ”

"Hopefully!" Takeda shook his head. Words. "Will the genealogy of my family admit what I have done? I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will be attacked by a crowd. ”

Nobunaga Mochizuki snorted. He said: "I have long expected this, and the daimyo of all parties in Kyoto are already under my control. Among them, the Gongfang Hall must be held hostage in his hands, and the Guards must be eliminated! ”

Takeda Nobutoshi changed color and said: "Stupid, the Li family's idea, did we also beat it?" ”

"Why not?" Nobunaga Mochizuki asked rhetorically.

Takeda Nobutoyo said: "If you kill Li Zheng, you will have a great enmity with the Li family, and if his father Li Xiao leads the main force of the Hida Echichu Army into Kyoto, without the help of the major names, do you think we still have a chance to win?" ”

Nobunaga Mochizuki was sweating slightly on his head at the moment, and he said to himself, "Even so. We unite the retainers of our own family who are inclined to us, and we have the palace of the public in hand, so that we can call on the great names of the world. Let's go to war with the Li family. Although Li Xiao is the world's number one general. But no matter how good he is, can he live up to the whole world? ”

Takeda Nobutoyo's face sank. He said: "I don't agree with this opinion, but you are right about one thing, no matter what, you must not let Li Zheng escape from Kyoto!" ”

Saying goodbye to Takeda Nobutoyo, he personally got on the horse and left.

"Your Highness, the trace of Katsuzi has been brought."

Nobunaga Mochizuki turned around, only to see Katsushi Katsuji of the trace department come forward and say, "Congratulations to Your Highness for your great achievements today." ”

Mochizuki Nobuya looked at Katsushi with disdain, and said, "This is still thanks to Lord Jibe, if it weren't for Your Excellency to persuade me to enter the Imperial Pavilion, otherwise I wouldn't have found the excuse to let my brother send troops." ”

Traces of the Department of Victory laughed, showing a smug face, a complacent look, and said: "This is all for His Highness." ”

"What reward wilt thou want? You can choose any country in the world, whether you want to be closer to or farther away. ”

The trace department was overjoyed and said, "Let's think about this." ”

Nobunaga Mochizuki smiled gently, "Najibe-sama, think about it slowly." ”

With that, Nobunaga Mochizuki turned away, and just when Katsushi was surprised, several samurai came up and pulled out their short blades and stabbed them in the chest!

Soon after, Katsushi Kibe slowly sat down against the wall with his back to the wall, holding his ruined intestines in both hands. …,

Katsuzi finally tilted his head and ended his life.

Just as the fire was raging on the side of Honnoji Temple.

In the Li Zheng Mansion.

Li Zheng, Yokotani Yukishige and the fifty people under his command are already draped all over.

Li Zheng looked at the sky above the Honnoji Temple, and couldn't help but show a little sadness, and said: "I didn't expect that even the victory over Lai Gong would not be able to keep the last bloodline, if my father knew about this matter, I am afraid it must be heartbroken." ”

Yokotani Yuki said repeatedly: "Lord, no matter how sad it is, it is useless at the moment, and now we should fight our way out of the siege and raise troops to avenge the Lord of the Imperial Palace." ”

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

At this time, a group of ninjas jumped down from the wall and reported to Li Zheng and Yokotani Yukishige: "The main hall, the chief, the east and west streets, have found a large number of troops moving towards us. ”

Hearing this, Li Zheng and Yokotani Yushige all looked pale.

"Tiger Benbei, is there no news from the Tongxin people?" Li Zheng asked.

The subordinates all shook their heads.

At this time, there was a fierce knock on the main door.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, the enemy army came so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they had come to the main gate.

"My lord, it may be that the news is blocked, we can't wait for the tiger to be ready anymore, and everyone will come to help," Yokotani Yuki repeatedly, "Now we can't stay here anymore, Your Majesty is willing to defend the Lord to the death and fight his way out of the siege." ”

"Yes, we will leave some people behind the palace, and the rest will go through the side door!"

The queen of the palace is bound to die, but at this moment, everyone regards death as home.

Because everyone knew that if they died in battle, the Li family would definitely treat their family well.

"No, the Xinfeng brothers have a careful plan, there are soldiers at the main gate, but the side door and the outer door are quietly not moving, I think it is even more dangerous, I think we will break through from the main gate."

At that moment, Li Zheng's face showed a hint of determination.

At that moment, Li Zheng drew his sword out of the sheath and said to the side behind him: "Everyone follow me to fight out of the encirclement!" ”

Approaching the side roared yes.

Suddenly, the door of Li Zheng's mansion was pushed open, and just as the rebels were about to rush in, a sudden and rapid neighing of horses came.

Inside the gate, there were war horses, and behind the horse's tail were all ignited. And then they all looked red-eyed. Rush out the door.

More than a dozen horses rushed out, crashing headlessly, and now crowding the rebels who were about to storm the main gate. Rushing people on their backs.

Dozens of horses' hooves ran over the main entrance, and the rebels trampled on an unknown number of dead and wounded.

Behind him, Li Zheng led everyone to fight the way out.

The sword is down, and everyone knows that life and death are only fighting for the line at this moment. Therefore, it is all a dead force.

Li Zheng personally swung his sword into battle, and everyone near him risked death to protect him.

And Yokotani Yukishige took advantage of the chaos and quietly killed the Ashigaru Shogun who was in front of the rebels.

Confusion in the other party's command for a while.

And the 200 ninjas of Azuma also took the opportunity to go out and set fire to the bridge to stop the rebels.

The rebels at the main gate were densely populated, and Li Zheng clashed out, after the clash was several streets.

Suddenly, a group of people arrived, and the person who came was none other than the tiger general Honda Masachun.

Honda is pure and blood-stained all the way. Obviously, it took a bloody battle to get here.

This made Yokotani Yushige, who was killed with Li Zheng, understand it to everyone closely. The reason why the other party is late to answer.

Honda Masashi still stepped forward to ask for sin.

Li Zheng waved his hand. He said, "If nothing happens, we will immediately meet with the thousand people of Hosokawa-sama." ”

Just as Li Zheng and they were about to cross the bridge. At this time, there was a lot of noise in front of them, and it was obvious that there was a fierce battle.

Because the streets of Kyoto were built in imitation of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, such as Suzaku Street, which was also used for learning, the streets are extremely spacious.

The two armies, each with torches, fought on the streets that had just been cleared of snow.

Someone shouted ahead.

"Don't let it go, Your Highness!"

"Stop!"

Hearing this news, Li Zheng knew that it was Ashikaga Yoshiaki who was besieged in front of him, and he couldn't help but hesitate whether he should take this opportunity to save the general.

At this time, a samurai rode up, and the other party was the head of the Hosokawa family, Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was obviously dressed in a whole body and had obviously joined the fight. …,

Hosokawa Fujitaka came to Li Zheng and said, "General of the Guards, let's save the Gongfang Hall and fight our way out of the encirclement together." ”

Li Zheng said to Honda in a deep voice: "Save the Gongfang Hall immediately." ”

Honda Masamune immediately agreed, and led his subordinates forward.

At this moment, Takeda Nobuyoshi is in the house.

The turmoil and noise around the periphery came one after another.

Takeda Nobuyoshi stroked the rosary with his hand, as if he had grown old by more than ten years at this moment, and said slowly: "Fifty years of meritorious work was lost, but I didn't expect that I had planned for my family all my life, and I was scheming, but at the last step, it was ruined in the hands of my two sons. ”

"Takeda Chaoyue, Takeda Chaoyue, you have been practicing meditation for decades, what kind of Zen you have cultivated, what Tao you have understood, and you have worked hard for your family, but you don't know how to plan for yourself, this is really a mistake of fame!"

Speaking of this, Takeda Nobuyhiro couldn't help but sigh at the sky.

"Chaoyue Gong, the matter has come to this, the two highnesses are your own sons after all, no matter what, you must plan for the two of them."

Takeda Nobufan was stunned, and at this time, he reported to Takeda Nobutoyo outside the door, and Mochizuki Nobunaga came to see him together.

Takeda Shinfan's eyes were cold, and he said, "Finally come to see me, let them in!" ”

After Takeda Nobutoyo and Mochizuki Nobunaga entered, Takeda Nobuyoshi lowered his head, and Mochizuki Nobunaga looked calm.

"How's it going?" Takeda Nobu asked nonchalantly.

Nobunaga Mochizuki knelt down with a puff, hugged Takeda Nobuyoshi's thigh, and said, "Father, it's really out of desperation to do this today,"

"How can you be forced to tell the truth out of desperation?"

So Nobunaga Mochizuki put all the dirty water on the dead Takeda Nobukatsu and Katsushi Trace, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, I am also forced to do this out of helplessness!" ”

Takeda Nobuhiro said lightly: "Nobuhiro has a generous personality and ambition, but he has no courage, and it seems that this matter was instigated by you." ”

Nobunaga Mochizuki continued to weep and said, "Yes, father, this matter has nothing to do with my brother, but I am burdened with this unscrupulous crime, all for the sake of my family, if my father is to blame, blame me alone, even if he kills me, I am willing." ”

Takeda Nobuyhiro looked at Nobunaga Mochizuki and remembered his eldest son who had died early after succeeding the Mochizuki family, and then let the infant Nobunaga Mochizuki inherit the family name of the Mochizuki family.

This child has watched him grow up by himself, how can he not have the affection of flesh and blood.

Takeda Nobuhiro stepped forward and patted Nobunaga Mochizuki's shoulder, still in tears, and said, "At this moment, you still don't tell me the truth, okay, just let me tell you." ”

"Lord Yuguan is dead now, the Instinct Temple has been solved, and the following should be the general of the guard, the Gongfang Palace, but it's a pity that you are a hundred secrets and are broken through by them."

"Therefore, you are here, and I am here, my father, who has been under your house arrest, to come forward and mobilize the soldiers and horses of Yamashiro, Settsu, and Hanoi to intercept them together, right?"

When Nobunaga Mochizuki heard this, his crying suddenly stopped.

Takeda Shin said: "You and your brother are not here to make a play in exchange for my forgiveness, but just to use the relationship between father and son to coerce me into this fact, force me to accept it, and then acquiesce, and assist you in doing this great rebellious thing, right?" ”

When Takeda Nobuyoshi said this, he looked at Takeda Nobutoyo, only to see that his head had fallen and he was crying loudly.

"Father." Nobunaga Mochizuki glanced at his brother's face, and knew that his father had seen through it, but his body trembled.

Takeda Nobuyhiro looked at Nobunaga Mochizuki and said, "I don't blame you for everything you did." You're my son of Takeda Chaoyue, and this is something that can't be changed. ”

"No matter how pretentious I am, now I can only say one thing, I have no way to raise children, and I have taught you two."

Nobunaga Mochizuki raised his head and said to himself: "Father, this governor was originally passed on to you by your grandfather, and today we take back everything that belongs to us, what's wrong." With your own prestige, help your family to seize the great merit of the world, ascend to the heights, and when the time comes, who in the world will not obey you. ”…,

"It's you who didn't do it yourself, so you let the child do it, and it's ultimately your fault!"

Takeda Nobuhiro laughed and said: "Shinnaga, you are really beyond my expectations today, people who have always committed rebellion are not lacking in courage and determination, but whether they succeed or not depends on judging the situation." ”

"Tell you, you can't get the world, and your actions today will only cut off our stables."

"I don't believe it!"

Nobunaga Mochizuki stood up and said, "Father, at this moment, I only ask you one thing, can you help us two brothers." ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi gave Nobunaga Mochizuki a deep look, and then turned away.

"It's a trip for nothing! Brother, let's go! ”

Nobunaga Mochizuki stood up and walked away, while Takeda Nobutoyo looked at Takeda Nobuyoshi's back, bowed deeply, and then strode away.

When Takeda Nobutoyo and Mochizuki Nobunaga walked to the atrium, they suddenly heard a loud pop in the house.

At this time, several people from the side were exclaiming: "Chaoyue Gong! Chaoyue Gong! ”

Takeda Nobutoyo changed color at the moment, and was about to turn around and enter, but was grabbed by Nobunaga Mochizuki.

"Brother, at this moment, don't worry about other things."

Nobunaga Mochizuki's eyes were in tears, and he looked at Takeda Nobunaga and said.

Takeda Shintoyo glanced back and said, "Okay, you are my brother after all, let's go, no matter what, even on the Huangquan Road, we also want to be companions together!" ”
