When Kiyoichi Hojo saw that the castle had been breached, he knew that he could no longer control his fate.

He wanted to use his last courage to kill Shinbu to take revenge, but before he could get close to Shinbu, he was already knocked to the ground.

He became a prisoner of Shinbu,

The war was still going on, and at this time the army of Shinmu was swarming into the city,

It's just that all the troops that entered the city shouted loudly everywhere: "Surrender quickly, your master has been captured, you all lay down your arms, and General Xinwu will let you live." ”

Most of the army laid down their arms, and the army that entered the city did not kill everywhere, but only destroyed the enemy who really had to resist.

Nobuyo's army soon took control of everything, including Hojo's family, and Nobutake ordered them to be properly resettled, putting them under house arrest in their original residence.

Then Xinwu personally went to the door to meet the old lady,

Because Shinwu knew that this Hojo clan was still influential in the Kanto generation, although he relied on the power of Zhu Houzhao to kill their lord outside Kyoto City, but the Hojo family was still useful, if their family didn't have it, they didn't have a barrier in this area, if they could subdue Hojo, it would be quite good for themselves,

When Xinwu told Zhu Houzhao his thoughts, Zhu Houzhao thought that he was profound,

When Xinwu first came to the battlefield, Zhu Houzhao told him how to outwit the small garden city, and when talking about whether to kill or capture Hojo Kiyoichi, Xinwu told Zhu Houzhao about the influence of the Hojo family in the Kanto region, and said that it would be best if he could subdue it, but of course there was no way to subdue it.

At that time, Zhu Houzhao told him that it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, since there was no great feud, the battle of Kyoto was originally the master of Hojo who went the wrong way and followed the wrong person, and he himself died and it would be a hundred, and now he can completely persuade Xiao Hojo to go back on the right path.

At that time, according to Zhu Houzhao's opinion, Shinbu set a strategy to outwit Odawara Castle and be gentle with the military and civilians of the city, especially the Hojo family, so that he could win the Hojo clan to become his loyal subordinate in the future, because this family followed his father back then and made a lot of military achievements.

As soon as the city was broken, after entering the city, Zhu Houzhao suggested that Xinwu go to see the old woman and go to worship the old Hojo.

Zhu Houzhao's trick is also from the scene where Zhuge Liang cried and worshiped Zhou Yu after he was angry with Zhou Yu.

"Big brother, come with me, you can help me look at something." Shin Wu said,

"Okay, I'll go with you." Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,

When Xinwu and Zhu Houzhao came to the old Hojo's house, they saw that the gate was surrounded by his own army, and he sent someone to knock on the gate gently.

Someone from inside opened the door, "Who are you?" The man inside asked alertly,

"I'm Ashikaga Nobutake, and I'm here to meet the old lady and worship the lord." Shin Wu said,

"It's General Xinwu, okay, I'll go and inform the old woman immediately, General, please wait." The person who came was a little nervous and said,

"Okay, I'll wait." Shin Wu said,

After a while, people rushed out,

"The old woman asks the general to come to the antechamber." Someone came and said,

Xinwu and Zhu Houzhao followed the comers, along the garden in the mansion, to the front hall,

When they arrived at the front hall, Xinwu and Zhu Houzhao saw a mourning hall, which was covered with white gauze and black curtains, and the coffin of Lao Hojo was still parked there.

In the middle of the wall opposite the hall hangs a large portrait of Old Hojo, in which the old Hojo hero stands there, his katana in his hand, and his appearance seems to be proud of the world.

An old woman in her fifties was already waiting there, this old woman looked strong, her hair was slightly white, but her forehead was slightly frosty, and at this moment her eyes were full of sadness.

"Old lady, Xinwu came to visit, and the old lady suffered." Shin Wu said,

"The general is mighty, and the old general has a son like this, and he can rest in peace." Old lady Hojo said,

"Where, where, ashamed, ashamed, today Xinwu is here to ask for sin." Shin Wu said,

"What is the crime of the general, at the beginning of the general's accession, the young master of the famous temple wanted to seize the throne, originally we should not participate, I persuaded him not to go, he may really believe the words of the young master of the Ming Temple, he thought that the young master of the Ming Temple is really a cowardly person said by the Ming Temple, and the old man is also afraid that the prestige of the old general will be buried in the hands of his son who is not angry, but I know, I think that the Ming Temple is just a mouth, and I have heard the deeds of the young master of the Ming Temple, I think it is not like that,

But the old man couldn't resist the persuasion of those old friends and still went, I didn't expect him to never go back, my son Qingyi has had a good relationship with his father since he was a child, he couldn't figure it out for a while, he didn't expect everything to develop like this. The old lady said,

"Madam, everything is a tragedy, there was chaos outside Kyoto at that time, and Nobutake couldn't take good care of Hojo-sama, he was very ashamed, and now everything is gradually calming down, Nobutake has come to ask the old woman for guilt, General Seiichi is all right, and he will be reunited with the woman soon." Shin Wu said,

"Thank you General Xinwu, if you can give him a chance, I will persuade him to submit to the general you, in fact, the old body has always heard of the general's benevolence and righteousness, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." The old lady said,

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, let me incense the old Hojo general." Shin Wu said,

Zhu Hou looked at the old woman, he was thinking: "This old lady is really powerful, it's a pity that the old Hojo didn't listen to this old woman, if he really listened, he wouldn't have died today, and he could only be regarded as a hero when he looked at that Hojo, and now he can only lie in the coffin coldly, it's a pity." ”

Zhu Houzhao remembered the battle outside Kyoto that day, when the guards moved too fast, he couldn't even see it, anyway, those big names fell one after another, and he couldn't remember what the fallen people looked like.

These guards are basically the best masters they have selected, and they are more than enough to deal with ordinary samurai.

At this time, the retainers of the Hojo family sent incense, and Xinwu and Zhu Houzhao took them in their hands.

Shinbu stepped forward and bowed a few times to the coffin and portrait of Old Hojo,

He said loudly: "On that day, the old general Hojo went around with his father to discuss, and he was majestic, and he admired Shinbu since he was a child, but unfortunately he was killed in the battle the day before yesterday, and Shinbu was deeply saddened and came to pay respects, hoping that the old general Wuwei would last a long time, and also hoped that the Hojo family could still shock the Kanto region." ”

After worshipping, Shinbu planted incense in front of Hojo's coffin.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao also stepped forward, he bowed a few times, and then he said to the old general Hojo: "The old general is wise and wise, unfortunately falls, and the East has come to worship, hoping that the old general can always maintain his majesty and pass on to future generations." ”

After saying that, he also inserted incense into the incense burner in front of the coffin,

At this time, the old lady was already in tears, and she murmured to the old Hojo: "I told you not to go that day, but you didn't listen, now you and I are separated by yin and yang, General Xinwu came to worship you regardless of previous suspicions, you should also rest in peace, I hope you can bless your son and our family are safe." ”

After speaking, she bowed to Xinwu and Zhu Houzhao and said, "Thank you, General Xinwu, thank you for this general." ”

Xinwu and Zhu Houzhao returned the courtesy,

"Old lady, let's take our leave first, the little general will come back soon, if the little general can't turn a corner, the old lady can help persuade it." Shin Wu said,

"Don't worry, the general, this matter is originally wrong with us, it is rare for the general to come to visit regardless of his previous suspicions, and I should persuade Xiao'er to return to the general." The old lady said,
