In the late night, a black shadow suddenly floated out from the Forbidden City, like an elf jumping out of the moon, and suddenly headed straight to the Xihun Pavilion. This is the residence of Queen Mother Xiao Tao. The black shadow was familiar with the road, and there was no trace in a blink of an eye. It turned out that he had crawled into the room through an open window.

Xiaotao and several masters around her were waiting anxiously when they saw the man coming in, one of the maids hurried over to receive the letter, and then the man in black quickly flew away.

Xiao Tao opened the letter with a serious expression and saw that his face darkened, then smiled. Finally, he sighed, closed the letter, and died to pieces. He sighed: "What a pity. I didn't expect that Yi Tusheng would take care of the emperor so strictly. The people I sent were exposed. Fortunately, they were not captured alive, otherwise our affairs would have to be exposed."

A maid next to Xiaotao said, "Is all the bad news in the letter all said?!" Xiaotao shook his head and said, "It's not all bad news. There are still many good news. I can't tell you yet. You just need to know that everything is going according to our plan. Haha, Yi Tusheng and others have calculated it in the end, just make wedding clothes for us. Japan will sooner or later be our world, and the Ming Dynasty will be controlled by me sooner or later."

Yi Tusheng's plan to withdraw troops really aroused strong reaction from various daimyos. After two days of discussion, everyone couldn't hold back. During the escape of Tokugawa Hidetachi, Daming went to his own land. At present, they could not take it back. They could follow Tokugawa Hidetachi the road to the darkest, but they still thought that some of the local areas were far from the battlefield and had not been affected for the time being, so they resigned from Tokugawa Hidetachi, wanting to return to their fiefdom to protect themselves.

Tokugawa Hidetachi smiled bitterly and said to these people: "Daming is not thinking too simple? Even if this general now approves you to leave here, you will never be able to return to your territory through the defense of Akatsuki Home. The most delay now is to defeat Akatsuki Hikariyama, and we can all go home by then."

"That's right, Aichi Guangshan has ulterior motives. Do you want to destroy all the world's daimyos and dominate the world. We will succeed immediately and eliminate him." Yoshiyama Ouchi held up his sword and shouted.

Maorimoto said: "Now that the Ming army has retreated, it is very likely that it is because of insufficient food and grass that is worried about the cutting of the retreat. This is also a good opportunity given to us by God, so that we can turn defeat into victory. At this time, everyone must work together. Let us all follow the command of the general!"

Tokugawa Hidetachi said: "Uncle Maori is right. I think I'd better write a letter to Akechi Mitsuyama. If he is willing to let go, everything will be fine, but if he still refuses to let go, then we will prepare to attack the city and seize his Okawa-gun town in one fell swoop."

After sending out the letter from Hidetachi Tokugawa, he received an instruction soon. Akichi Mitsuyama wrote a long reply, which was to give Tokugawa Hidetachi a good righteousness to the emperor and his ministers, and advised him not to hold the emperor hostage and respect his troops, and he should return all his rights to the emperor, otherwise the emperor would be restored, and the Ming Dynasty's army would be withdrawn immediately, saving people from being miserable. I hope Hidetachi Tokugawa could put the overall situation first and not be cursed by the world for glory and wealth.

After reading the envelope, Tokugawa Hidetachi understood in his heart that Akichi Komayama was determined to go against him, and no matter what, he would definitely not allow him to return to Edo. But why did he do this? Edo was not good for him to land in the hands of others! In fact, Akichi Komayama did this just to make the army around Edo more lively. Moreover, since the Emperor wrote him a letter, he might as well keep it in swear. If the Ming army really helps the Emperor capture the world again in the future, it is very likely that he will be named a marquis and a prime minister with this letter.

I heard that Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga's army had approached Edo one after another, but the war had not started yet. Tokugawa Hidetachi became more and more anxious. He felt that he could no longer spend time with Akichi Komayama, the bastard, so he rode his war horse to the city and asked to talk directly with Akichi Komayama.

Akechi Mitsuyama didn't feel anything wrong with Tokugawa Hidetachi, so he immediately took it out and bowed on the city wall: "General Tokugawa, the Ming army has been withdrawn now. You should take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory. Why did you run to me instead? Are you afraid that the Ming people would not dare to fight with them?!" The soldiers on the city wall burst into laughter.

"Although I am not afraid of the Ming army, I must return to Edo to quell the rebellion. Because the 60 Japanese daimyos all kept hostages in Kyoto, once there was a melee, these hostages would be in danger. Everyone was anxious, so please open the door quickly and let us go!" Tokugawa Hidetachi also knew that Akichi Mitsuyama could not open the door. Although he spoke very politely, his expression was very cold.

"No, no, this is absolutely not possible. The duty of the general is to die in the battlefield. Since you have given your body to the country, you should not consider your personal safety. You should fight against the Ming people and not escape back to your own home, so I must not let you go." Akihiro Hiroyama licked his lips and rolled his eyes and said.

"Akihi Mitsuyama, you can think clearly. There are thirty or forty daimyos behind me. They represent most of Japan. It doesn't matter if you offend me, Tokugawa Hidetachi alone. If you offend all the daimyos in Japan, how can you gain a foothold in Japan in the future?" Tokugawa Hidetachi raised his face and stretched out his finger to threaten.

"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, you are all traitors of His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor has ordered me to keep here and not let you go. If you want to go over and save your relatives, then there is only one way, that is, to abandon the dark and turn the light and return to the Emperor's side. How about it, can you do it?!"

"Haga!" Hosokawa Tatsutsu cursed: "We are all from General Tokugawa. Don't talk nonsense. If I count to three, I still don't open the city gate, I will send troops to attack the city. You are a small county town, the city is not high and the river is not in a hurry. What ability can you stop us? Come and prepare to attack the city!"

"The person coming is preparing to shoot arrows. If someone dares to approach the city, he will shoot arrows immediately. If he dares to approach the city, he will bring all the wooden stones up. If the city is there, the city will be killed, and the city will be killed!" In fact, this is just for those soldiers to increase morale. Akechi Mitsuyama has no determination to live and die with the city. Besides, he is still thinking about going to Edo to get a share of the pie.

Akechi Mitsuyama's plan was like this. He first delayed Tokugawa Hidetaka for a few days, and then when the Ming army came, he threw Tokugawa Hidetaka to the Ming army. He took the opportunity to go north to seize Edo. When the Ming army and Tokugawa Hidetaka decided to win, he had already entered Edo. If he was lucky, he could restrain countless defeated soldiers and generals, and his power would expand rapidly. At that time, both the Ming lord and the shogunate army would have no choice but to do anything to him. To achieve great things, it would require courage and luck and even more time. Now Akechi Mitsuyama has all the conditions.

Tokugawa Hidetachi and him had nothing to say, and immediately ordered to be divided into three groups to attack the city. Suddenly, arrows were raining on the city, and the intensity was blocking the sky and the sun blocking the view of the crowd. Countless soldiers were shot to the ground with screams, but they were shot into hedgehogs by the arrows after just falling down. After about an hour of charge, Akichihiro Koyama was prepared very well. In addition, Tokugawa Hidetachi's army was a tired army. More than a dozen charges were defeated by the defending troops, and after losing four or five thousand people, they had to withdraw temporarily.

"It's outrageous. Akichi Mitsuyama is so hateful. I must go down the city to challenge him tomorrow. The people in the Akichi Mitsuhide's family are all in a state of rebellion. Akichi Mitsuhide assassinated Oda Nobuo Tokugawa's family shouldn't have taken him in, but now he's actually dealing with us in reverse. It's so slutty." Tokugawa Hidetaku looked out the window with bright eyes and wiped his sword with a snow-white cloth. Today's battle made him angry.

"The idea that the general just said was also a good idea. It shows that people from the Zhi family have always been very confident in their own swordsmanship. It is better for the general to go down the city to ask for a single-on-one decisive battle with Akechi Guangshan. The loser will have a caesarean section. If he does not agree, the soldiers will look down on him and their morale will be depressed. If he agrees, the general will not suffer any loss with the help of Mr. Onitsuka. This is a brilliant plan to have both worlds." Mrs. Kikuko said from the side.

"This method is good, but I heard that when Akichi Mitsuhide was plotting to murder Oda Nobunaga, there were a few very powerful evil masters under him. I wonder if those masters are still by his side? And Akichi Mitsuhide also claimed to be Oda Nobunaga's first quick knife hand, so his son was naturally not bad." Tokugawa Hidetachi said lightly.

"No matter how powerful he is, what does it matter? The general's sword skills are outstanding, and Mr. Onitsuka helps him, he will definitely not get any advantage. At present, if you want to return to Kyoto as soon as possible, there is only one good way. You might as well give it a try."

In the early years, Tokugawa Hidetachi once saw Akichi Mitsuhide's father Akichi Mitsuhide used their ancestral sword technique. With one knife, he could lift a wick outside. The sword technique in rainy weather can ensure that the rain does not leak. It is really a very good sword technique. I don't know how much Akichi Mitsuhide has! But no matter what, this is also an opportunity. If you don't go, you will be embarrassed in front of the winning prize. "Okay, you send someone to the war book, and I'll wait for the reply!" Tokugawa thought that if the other party disagreed, it would not be blamed for me...
