"Oh?" Yu Qiuping was quite surprised when he heard this. Although his negotiations with Akechi Mitsuhide were constantly verbal, they basically used hidden secrets to test each other. Although they were lightning, they did not hurt the harmony. In this regard, he asked himself that he was not a match for Akechi Mitsuhide. However, Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly opened the curtain at this moment, as if he wanted to say things straightforwardly.

Isn’t condemning Yu Qiuhei, Oda Nobunaga and others like this... does it mean that you give up on cooperation?

Yu Qiuping did not reply immediately, but looked at Akichi Mitsuhide with a puzzled look.

"If I expected it would be fine, Hongye's trip was ordered by His Highness Oda to fight for the dominance of Guiluo." Akichi Mitsuhide's eyes flashed, and his words became sharp: "I want the Asakura family to be a foil, and the Gongfang Palace also became a puppet. Then Guiluo successfully replaced the Miyo family and became the second Kinki overlord. Hold the Gongfang Palace in his hand, imitating Emperor Wu of Wei to use the emperor to command the princes, imitating the Hei family to control the royal family and command Daming?"

Since Akichi Mitsuhide has already said this, Yu Qiuping felt that it would be meaningless to give in, so she simply turned on her face and said, "Miracle is right, that's what the lord thinks."

Akechi Mitsuhide was not angry when she heard this, but instead sighed sadly. After a while, he picked up the teacup and drank it, and said helplessly: "To be honest, I have expected the Oda family to be like this. Since the general lost his authority, he has been a powerful daimyo toy for more than a hundred years. There are very few who are truly determined to correct the shogunate and the world."

"Since the Etsuin Rebellion, Japan has been in constant war. The ones who controlled Kyoto and the generals were first the Hosokawa Ieyyama masters, then the Oui Ki, and then the Miyoga Hexaki family, and now the Matsunaga family. Every change is accompanied by war, plague, famine, and the people of Kinki suffered deeply." Akichi Mitsuhide gently paused the teacup on the table and said in deep pain: "Are you going to add the Oda family again? If every daimyo is ambitious and has bad intentions, when will the world settle down? When will the war end? When will the shogunate authority be restored?"

"Did Mitsuhide expect the Oda family to be like a righteous hero, to regain Kinki for the general, and then leave without taking any action?" Yu Qiuping looked at Akichi Mitsuhide, who was excited in front of him, and whispered in a calm tone: "This is unrealistic."

"No need to say more about Hongye, I will naturally know it in my heart." Akihi Mitsuhide smiled miserably and nodded slightly. "But I am no longer willing to watch the cycle of governance and chaos repeating again. It has been a long time since the general has been suffering. This time, the general will not make any concessions. He will make himself the leader of Shangluo, no longer be allowed to be the mermaid meat, revival of the shogunate, and return peace to the world."

"In other words, as long as the Oda family still wants to compete for the dominance of Guilu, the negotiations cannot continue, right?" Yu Qiuping held his forehead deeply and asked helplessly.

"That's right." Akichi Mitsuhide's tone gradually returned to calm, but revealed a cold and stern determination.

"But if the Kung Fang Temple had no help from the Oda family, it would be absolutely impossible to succeed in going to Luo." Yu Qiuhei still did not give up and tried to convince Akichi Mitsuhide with reason: "Near Kinki, the only one who can compete with the Miyoshi family is the Oda family. The only way for the Uesugi family to go to Luo - the Hokuriku Road is covered with ice and snow all year round, and it is difficult to go on an expedition; the Takeda family is still entangled with the Tokugawa family and cannot move westward; the Maori family is too far away from the Neiki, so it is difficult to leave too many troops in the Kinki, otherwise the lesson of the Oui family is a lesson from the past. Let me ask, where will the general find strong support?"

"But what's the use of finding the Oda family? The situation is the same as before, without any change. It's just that the person who controls the puppets has changed from the Miyoshi family to the Oda family." Akichi Mitsuhide smiled and shook his head, pointing out incisively: "If the general still cannot get the power of the shogunate after going to Luo, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the Kinki people to suffer military disaster again?"

Yu Qiuhei was speechless by Akichi Mitsuhide. In order to hide the embarrassment of being speechless, he had to pick up the teacup and drink a large gulp of tea. It seemed that Akichi Mitsuhide and Ashikaga Yoshihide were very firm and determined to make the general's family the commander of Guelou. However, Oda Nobunaga could not accept Ashikaga Yoshihide's restraint, and things froze. After all, Ashikaga Yoshihide was not the weak Ashikaga Yoshiaki in his previous life, and he was unwilling to become a puppet for Guelou. Is it because of the changes of history that the Oda family has no chance to go to Guelou in this life?

Sweet tea leaves fragrance between lips and teeth.

A thought suddenly flashed through Yu Qiuping's mind.

When he put down the teacup, the thoughts in his mind were gradually taking shape.

"I understand it. It is impossible to convince Mitsuhide, who is the representative of the general's position." Yu Qiuping smiled and raised his head, and spoke to Akichi Mitsuhide.

"It's really a pity. But this cannot be blamed on Hongye. Politics is so cold." Akichi Mitsuhide was not angry, and the smile on his face was still as gentle: "We each have their own leadership and have different positions. Although the negotiations cannot continue, it is worthwhile to get to know Hongye."

"Well? Who said that the negotiations could not continue?" Yu Qiuping suddenly smirked and raised an eyebrow at Akichi Mitsuhide.

"Hmm?" Akichi Mitsuhide was stunned when he heard this. This was the first time since the negotiations that Yu Qiuping had seen a panic and unexpected expression on his face. "What does Hongye mean?"

"What I just said is... I can't convince Mitsuhide, who is the representative of the general's family." Yu Qiuhei paused, took a deep breath, and whispered in a low voice: "But if Mitsuhide can stand on the Oda family's side, everything will be great."

Akichi Mitsuhide frowned when he heard this, and a look of anger appeared on the face of this literati warrior who had always been happy and angry. Yu Qiuping's words were a great offense to those loyal warriors. Akichi Mitsuhide was about to shake his head and refuse, but Yu Qiuping raised his hand suddenly and signaled him not to speak.

"Yes or not, I hope His Highness Akichi will make a decision after listening to it." Yu Qiuping whispered in a very serious tone. Seeing Yu Qiuping so serious, Akichi Mitsuhide asked herself in her heart that she would never waver, she nodded very politely and made a gesture of invitation.

"Kumixiu, I ask you, if you have to sacrifice yourself to end the cycle of chaos you said, are you willing to sacrifice?" Yu Qiuping asked slowly.

"I have no choice but to go straight to the eighteenth level of hell, and I will never be able to be reborn forever." Akichi Mitsuhide nodded firmly.

"What about Gongfang Palace? If the cycle of chaos can be terminated and the world is peaceful, will Gongfang Palace have the awareness of sacrificing itself?" Yu Qiuping asked slowly again, and did not forget to add: "No need to misunderstand Guangxiu, I'm just asking a question."

"Based on my understanding of Gongfang Palace, he is indeed a person who sacrifices his life for righteousness." Akichi Mitsuhide replied without hesitation.

"So, do you think life is important or status is important?" Yu Qiuping was delighted, but still asked questions calmly. He was quietly using the skills he had asked inquiry in the debate before - when one party could only answer but could not ask back, the attacking party could induce the other party to make mistakes by designing a logical question chain.

"Of course it's life." Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a while and still made a choice. "Famousness symbolizes honor, but that's also a fame. Perhaps many samurai value that very much. But in my opinion, only by leaving their lives can we continue to realize their ambitions."

"Then if you and Gongfang Palace can even give up their lives in order to correct the world, isn't it a problem to have a little status?" Yu Qiuping took advantage of the victory and stared at Akichi Mitsuhide's eyes, and raised the problem again.

"This..." Akichi Mitsuhide instinctively noticed Yu Qiuping's question and said something in Chinese, "Did Hongye want to persuade Gongfangdian to give up the title of leading the coalition? But I have already said it clearly before. If His Highness Oda still lets control the overall situation, everything is just a repeat of the mistake of controlling the general of the Miyoshi family. When the next strong daimyo rises, he will still find a reason to attack the Oda family, and the war still cannot be terminated."

"You are right, but I don't mean that." Yu Qiuping lowered his head and looked at his teacup, adding with a smile: "I don't mean to let His Highness Oda control the Gongfang Temple."

"That red leaf means..." Akichi Mitsuhide narrowed her eyes and picked up the corner of her clothes with some anxiety.

"Have Mitsuhide ever thought about it? What kind of scene would it be if there were no general?" Yu Qiuping slowly raised his head, shifted his gaze from the teacup to Akichi Mitsuhide's eyes, and looked at the latter with satisfaction for a moment of panic and doubt flashed in his eyes. But for some reason, these eyes made him feel a little familiar.

"What does Hongye mean?" Akichi Mitsuhide's voice, which had always been as plain as water, also trembled slightly, "Does His Highness Oda plan to abolish the shogunate?"

"No, the lord has never said these words. I am just talking about some of my ideas." Compared with Akichi Mitsuhide's nervousness, Yu Qiuhei was calm at this moment: "The reason why Mitsuhide is so entangled is that you have already hanged on the tree of the shogunate. What you are thinking is that you can end the cycle of chaos by restoring the authority of the shogunate, but how is this possible? Even if the Kōka Temple really fights back to Kyoto and regains power, what can he do?"

"Slowly expand one's territory, and then force other daimyos to surrender to him and finally unify the world? It's useless. Genna and Ashikaga's Honsaka have done this. Their authority may be able to suppress the whole country for a while, but so many places have big daimyos and noble families, and sooner or later, war will start again. The best of them will set up a brand new shogunate, and then decline, and cycle over and over again. Even if you work hard to help the Ashikaga shogunate revival, what's the use? When Ashikaga Yoshimoto is in power, can anyone expect that the Ashikaga shogunate will fall like this? Everything will decline at its peak. Without a ever-powerful shogunate, the cycle of governance and chaos will never end."

Yu Qiuping's words seemed to deeply touch Akichi Mitsuhide. After the latter's eyes flashed for a moment, they lowered. He sat there, motionless, as if he was in a fierce ideological struggle.
