He first briefly summarized today's battle process and results.

According to what he said, the Changzhou Army on the opposite side had its back on Arashiyama and used Tenryuji Temple as its main formation.

Compared with the Choshu Army in the other two battlefields (Fushimi and Yamazaki), there is no significant difference between the Choshu Army here.

Although there are 3,000 soldiers, the vast majority of the members of the army are temporarily recruited ronin and peasant soldiers.

The real fighting force is only five or six hundred people at most.

Under the continuous driving of Qingdeng and his party, there were about 2,000 defeated soldiers who fled to Tianlong Temple.

Although there are a lot of people, these new troops are just broken soldiers who have been defeated, so they are not to be feared.

How can it be so easy to recover from the inner trauma caused by a big defeat?

What is certain is that these defeated troops will not only not be useful in the subsequent battle, but will also be a hindrance.

And this is exactly Qingdeng's purpose - to let these remnant soldiers spread fear and undermine morale.

After making a concise and concise report, Jinbo Naizhu turned to look at Matsudaira Yongho.

Matsudaira Yongho nodded lightly:

"Jinbo-kun, thank you for your hard work. Please sit down."

The divine supporter Naizou responded and sat back down.

Qingdeng lowered his gaze, looked at the three-dimensional map in front of him, and said softly:

"The damn Changshu Army is really good at choosing places. They actually set up their formation at Tianlong Temple... If possible, I really don't want to destroy this famous ancient temple."

Saga Tenryuji Temple - a Zen temple with a long history.

The original site of Tenryuji Temple was Tanrinji Temple founded by Empress Tanbayashi of Emperor Saga in the 14th year of the Heian Period (847).

In the third year of Tianyan (975), Prince Jianming built a palace and a pond here.

Entering the Kamakura period, Emperor Saga built the Ryūzan-den Palace in the 6th year of the Kenchō period (1254) and built Jogogō-in Temple as a Buddhist temple.

After Ashikaga Takauji conquered the world and established the Muromachi shogunate, he hired the Imperial Master Yumeko to build Tenryuji Temple here to help Emperor Go-Daigo to save the souls of the dead.

From then on, Tenryuji Temple became its own sect and became the headquarters of the sect, ranking first among the five temples in Kyoto.

Since the establishment of the temple, Tenryuji Temple has been plagued by disasters and has been hit by fire 8 times.

If you think about it carefully, this should be regarded as the fate of historical buildings.

Any historical building cannot escape the fate of being destroyed by fire.

Shannan Keisuke loves these ancient buildings with a long history.

So, he let out a long sigh, with a sad look on his face, and expressed the same emotion as Qingdeng:

"I really don't want this famous temple to suffer another disaster..."

Although they say so, everyone knows very well in their hearts: guns have no eyes, and once the fighting starts, they will not care about Tianlong Temple.

Qingdeng really didn't want to see the famous temple destroyed.

But compared to the lives of his subordinates, these dead things are really nothing.

Not to mention a Tenryuji Temple, as long as it can save the lives of his subordinates or help the war effort, Aomori will destroy all the historical buildings in Kyoto without hesitation.

Compared to before the war started, the atmosphere inside and outside the formation was unprecedentedly relaxed and harmonious.

The air is filled with the smell of joy.

Even the useless generals of the vassal army can tell after taking a look at the map: We have already gained all the advantages! There is no possibility of defeat!

Two of Changzhou's three armies collapsed, and the remaining troops huddled in Tianlong Temple, struggling to hold on.

The Shinsengumi, Aizu Army and Satsuma Army have joined together, with nearly 10,000 troops, forming an overwhelming strength advantage, with high morale and well-equipped equipment.

Comparing the two, the Changzhou Army on the opposite side has no advantage at all.

With such a huge difference in combat power, it would be very difficult to lose even if you want to!

From Qingdeng to ordinary generals, no one thought that the Changzhou Army on the opposite side could cause any trouble.

Therefore, this military meeting went very smoothly.

After a brief discussion, Qingdeng directly announced tomorrow's battle plan.

The content of the plan is consistent with today's battle of Tianwang Mountain: there will be no feints or auxiliary attacks, it will all be the main attack, directly attack them head-on! Encircle and annihilate them!

I'm gearing up and can't wait for tomorrow to come as soon as possible.

At this moment, Matsudaira Yongho suddenly said:

"Lord An Yi, I have something to add."

Qingden raised his chin:

"Please tell me."

"Lord Aki, just this evening, a spy from our army reported that Katsura Kogoro was found in Tenryuji Temple."

Katsura Kogoro——Hearing this name, Qingden seemed to recall something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Is this information accurate?"

Matsudaira Yongho shook his head:

"No, not sure yet."

Hijikata Toshizo on the side curled his lips:

"It's Katsura Kogoro again...why is he everywhere?"

Saigo Kinnosuke sneered:

"Isn't this just right? I would be most happy to see these rebellious officials and traitors get together, so that we can catch them all in one go."

Qingdeng ignored these gossips and lowered his eyelids, thinking.

After a while, he asked Matsudaira Yongho:

"Higo-sama, did your spies find a young samurai wearing a Western hat and wearing strange clothes next to Katsura Kogoro?"

Matsudaira Rongbo couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

Although he didn't know why Qingdeng asked such a strange question, he still answered truthfully:

"No similar reports have been received yet."

A faint look of regret appeared on Qingden's cheeks, and he murmured, "That's it..."

…

…

"Everyone, go down and have a rest. Don't delay tomorrow's decisive battle." After saying this, Qingdeng announced the end of the meeting.

The participating generals filed out of the tent and left the tent in twos and threes.

This formation is where Qingteng lives and rests, so he naturally does not need to move.

After everyone left and there was no one else in the tent, Qingdeng let out a long breath, leaned forward, leaned on the long table in front of him, and relaxed his mind as much as he wanted to soothe his nerves.

At this moment, an announcement suddenly came from outside the tent:

"My lord, there is an old man outside the camp, and he wants to see you by name!"

Qingdeng suddenly frowned:

"Old man? Did he tell me his name?"

"Yes! He calls himself 'Kizuma Kiryu'!"

——Boss Kiryu?!

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows suddenly and said without thinking:

"Bring him here quickly!"

"yes!"

Qingdeng straightened up again and straightened his appearance.

After a moment, the curtain was opened, and a familiar tall figure came into view.

"Good evening, Mr. Tachibana."

Boss Kiryu walked towards Aoden with a soft smile on his face.

Qingdeng stood up to greet him.

"Boss Kiryu, why are you here? What happened?"

Boss Kiryu shook his head slightly.

"It's nothing, I just want to drink tea and talk with you. I shouldn't disturb you, right?"

Suddenly, Qingdeng seemed to realize something, and his brows slowly furrowed.
