Hearing Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru's words, the daimyo stared at the latter with wide eyes and a face full of incredulity, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Because Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru's spear shook violently, he directly split his body from it, blood and internal organs dripped, and finally even the head of the daimyo was picked out by Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru and landed at the front of the besieging army, which seemed to be a warning to those besieging armies.

Lucius, who was standing in the castle tower, saw the scene outside the castle, especially the excitement in his eyes when he vaguely saw Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru, who killed the daimyo and tore the other party apart.

Lu Xiuston frowned and whispered: "This guy is an extremely tyrannical guy, and he has a bloodthirsty tendency, I'm afraid that such a guy may not be able to control Sakura Rinko in the future." ”

No. 3 thought for a moment and whispered, "Your Highness, don't you really want such a person to appear? What's more, although this guy looks tyrannical, he is actually a very traditional guy, and he still has faith in Shinto in his heart, as well as the loyalty to the emperor. ”

Hearing this, Lucius smiled and nodded: "Yes, No. 3, you have seen it very accurately this time, and you have analyzed it very thoroughly, this guy is indeed the guy I hope to be able to appear next to Sakura Rinko the most." ”

He may be loyal to Sakura Rinko now, but once he is in power, he will start to cause trouble for Sakura, and this kind of person has a reverence for Shinto in his bones, so he will contain Sakura Rinko without completely overthrowing Sakura's imperial rule. ”

By the time Lucius was talking to Three, most of the soldiers outside the city had already walked behind Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru, who already had an army of his own.

In comparison, it was the rest of the army under the command of the daimyo who came to siege the castle that gathered together, like a rabble that had been put together temporarily.

This situation was something that Lucius hadn't expected before, originally Lucius just wanted to delay time, let those guys besieging the city work outside the city, and wait for the other party's patience to run out. I'm cleaning them up one by one.

But Lucius never expected that the emperor Sakura Rinko had such a high status in the hearts of the people of Fuso, and he didn't expect that there would be a genius like Toyotomi Hiyoshi Maru, and he actually directly surrendered to Sakura Rinko, reversing the situation in an instant.

Oda Nobumitsu, who was standing in the distance and observing, looked at Bai Meng beside him in surprise, and said with some joy: "Fortunately, I didn't send troops to go, otherwise in this case, I am afraid that I would not be able to control the soldiers under my command." ”

Bai Meng's face was dazed. He was very puzzled and muttered to himself: "How can this be? Why did the emperor just give an order, and those soldiers actually chose to submit directly?"

Seeing Bai Meng's face full of puzzlement, Oda Nobumitsu said with a smile: "You really don't know Fuso, in the legend of Fuso Shintoism, the emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu, that is, the descendant of the gods, it can be said that the imperial family is in the hearts of the people of Fuso, that is no longer a king, but a god in their hearts." ”

"Now. Our god appeared in Kyoto and was blessed by the power of the emperors of the past, and he has almost regained the majesty of the original god, and I am afraid that he only needs to say a word. Millions of people across the country will obey his orders. ”

Listening to Oda Nobumitsu say this, Bai Meng suddenly understood what he had overlooked, that is, he ignored that Shinto was the state religion of Fuso, and the ideas of Shinto had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Most of the people of Fuso already regarded the emperor as a god, so his plan was fatally flawed.

When Bai Meng felt deeply remorseful. Suddenly, the emperor's voice sounded at the head of Kyoto City: "I order you to start attacking at once, and kill all these rebellious ministers and thieves without leaving a single one." ”

Oda Nobumitsu couldn't help but shudder, then looked at Bai Meng and asked, "What now?" It seems that those guys can't stand it anymore, and we're waiting for them to be slaughtered?"

Bai Meng was also a little embarrassed at this time, because his plan was completely disrupted, he didn't expect the emperor's appeal to be so strong, and he didn't expect the emperor to receive the blessing of that city, so that now the whole plan was disrupted, and his plan was almost tantamount to failure.

But there was still a thought in Baimeng's mind, and he looked at Oda Nobumitsu and said, "If they do do it, you can start commanding the army under your command to attack, and you must save some of the daimyo." ”

Oda Nobumitsu was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Why? Why do I still have to go to those guys when this is already the case? You know, we shouldn't have traveled to this muddy water at all, and we should leave at this time, as if we had never been here before." ”

"No, we can't just leave, we haven't seen Lecius's hole cards yet, are you willing to leave like this? If Lucius still has hole cards, when you fight in the future, you don't know the opponent's hole cards, how do you deal with Lecius?"

Bai Meng's words made Oda Nobumitsu stunned, he actually didn't want to do what Bai Meng said, because it was really very dangerous, and the risk he had to take was very great.

Especially seeing the strength of that ashigaru, Oda Nobumitsu vaguely felt that even if he made his own move, he might not be able to take down that ashigaru, and at the moment when the opponent's momentum was at its strongest, if he led the troops to participate in it, it would be tantamount to a moth to a fire, and it would be a deal with no return.

Although Oda Nobumitsu also had the idea of competing with that Ashigaru in his heart, Oda Nobumitsu, who had commanded the army for many years, knew very well that when the opponent was in full swing, he should avoid his edge and not face it.

Thinking of this, after careful consideration, Oda Nobumitsu still couldn't help but say to Bai Meng: "Bai Mengjun, I think we should evacuate as much as possible at the moment, we shouldn't participate, and it is really not a wise move to take the initiative to challenge when the other party is in full swing, and it may catch up with the army under my command." ”

Bai Meng turned his head to look at Oda Nobumitsu, and then sneered and said, "So, is Oda-kun not going to attack?"

Listening to Bai Meng's mocking words, Oda Nobumitsu did not have any anger, but responded very calmly: "Bai Mengjun, there are some things that you know you can't do, so you don't have to force them. ”

As soon as Oda Nobumitsu's words fell, there was a shout of killing in the distance, and the two of them followed the sound and looked over, and saw that Ashigaru led the army under his command to surrender to him, and began to attack the besieging daimyo, and the shouting of killing instantly soared into the sky, resounding in the wild sky outside Kyoto.

Although those daimyo left behind were all samurai who were loyal to them, and all of them were very skilled, and even some daimyo even had ghost warriors under their command.

However, in the face of the overwhelming superiority of the army led by Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru, the balance of victory was still tilted in favor of Toyotomi Hiyoshimaru and their side.

Bai Meng no longer persuaded Oda Nobumitsu to send troops, because he knew very well in his heart that things could not be done, and even if Oda Nobumitsu's army was dispatched at this time, I am afraid that he would not be able to force out of Lucius's hole cards, because those people in Kyoto City did not make a move, even if Oda Nobumitsu sent troops, at most it would be the troops in the city to attack the city.

Although Bai Meng was reluctant to admit it in his heart, he actually knew very well that in this game with Lucius, he finally lost to Lucius.

It is not because his plans and strategies are inferior to the other party, but because he is not as good as the other party to understand the national conditions of Fusang, Bai Meng almost counted every qiē in it, but he did not calculate the emperor's status in the hearts of the people of Fusang.

Sighing unwillingly, Bai Meng said to Oda Nobumitsu: "That's it, even if I lose this game, Oda-kun, according to what you said, let's evacuate as much as possible, go back and prepare well, I'm afraid you will soon face a big battle, if you want to keep what you have now, you still have to be careful." ”

Oda Nobumitsu nodded with a heavy face, in fact, he also knew very well in his heart that if the emperor gained the lost prestige today, the imperial power would inevitably rise again in time, and at that time, the samurai forces in Fuso would be affected like never before, and many forces would probably face being purged.

Fuso is about to usher in the final melee of the war-torn era, and if Oda Nobumitsu cannot stand out from it, he will only become a loser in the long river of history.

Thinking of this, Oda Nobumitsu no longer hesitated, sounded the horn of retreating, and then turned around and left, just glanced at Kyoto before leaving, as if trying to find Lucius, but in the end he could only be disappointed, Lucius did not show up on the city wall.

Bai Meng was unwilling to let his plan fail, but he could only temporarily admit defeat, and now that the situation was out of control, he would not continue to stay.

In the castle tower, Lucius used the binoculars in his hand to watch Oda Nobumitsu and Bai Meng leave, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said with a smile: "Hehe, those two guys are very smart. ”

Number Four actually saw the two figures leaving, and also saw the smoke and dust rushing in front of him, and asked Lucius with some puzzlement: "Your Highness, why do you want to let them go?" That Oda Nobumitsu is clearly coming with a large army, and he is obviously also coveting and sabotaging your plan. ”

Lucius responded directly: "It's very simple, because they still have use value, so let them leave first, only if they leave, will Sakura Rinko have enough pressure, so that our Emperor Xià will not do those things like birds hiding in the bow and rabbits and dead dogs." ”

No. 3 then asked, "Then Your Highness, what should we do next? Do we want others to start doing it? Do it now, we should be able to completely extinguish those ambitious daimyo forces in various places, and be able to take back all the power, so that Sakura Rinko can truly dominate the country." ”

Lucius shook his head: "No, now is not the time, we have to give those big names some time, let them attack each other first, and finally leave the biggest, we only need to solve the biggest ones, as for those small shrimps, let those big fish help us solve them." (To be continued......)
