When Akechi Mitsuhide saw that it was the Oda family's people, he picked up the breast wrap and hair rope and hurriedly started to organize his clothes. Yu Qiuhei walked to the side knowingly, not disturbing Akechi Mitsuhide.

Before the boat could approach the shore, Long Zi, who was standing at the bow of the boat, was almost hoarse, jumped off the boat in a hurry and waded from the waist-deep lake toward the shore. Yu Qiuping hurriedly ran to the island to pick her up, while Long Zi buried her head in Yu Qiuping's arms and burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, Longzi, am I okay?" Yu Qiuping smiled and patted Longzi on the back, but when he heard Longzi try to speak in his already hoarse voice, but he couldn't cry, his eyes were slightly moist.

"Your Highness is in danger, and you should die if you are guilty." Tadao Honda also jumped onto the island and reefs, knelt directly in front of Yu Qiuping, and said in deep guilt and shame: "When you escort Your Highness back to the military camp, you will immediately apologize."

"What are you cutting your stomach?" Yu Qiuping said anxiously as soon as he heard this, and struggled out of Longzi's arms. He wanted to hold Honda Tada Sheng up with both hands, but Honda Tada refused to get up. Yu Qiuping held it several times but failed.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this. This is the dignity of a samurai." Honda Tadao was unmoved by Yu Qiupi's persuasion and said in a deep voice: "If you let Your Highness suffer this disaster, as your guard, you have no face to see anyone. You can only die to cleanse your own stigma, and I hope your Highness will not let Your Highness live in shame."

"Kuangnosuke, don't give me this set." Seeing that he couldn't help Tadao Honda, Yuqiehiro squatted down in anger, staring at Tadao Hondao's eyes and said, "I'll ask you, are there any samurai in my guard who is more capable than you?"

Tadao Honda was stunned for a moment, without saying anything.

"No." Yu Qiuping replied for Tadao Honda, and then continued to ask, "You are the most powerful and experienced in my guard. If you have a septile, who will protect my safety in the future? Can you rest assured? If you don't have you here, I will encounter an accident on the battlefield. Wouldn't it be your selfishness that killed me?"

Yu Qiuhei's words made Honda Tadao not know how to respond for a while. Seeing this, Yu Qiuhei took the opportunity to pull up the burly samurai and patted the latter on the shoulder.

"I just said, this kid will be fine, he is very good at water." At this time, another voice came from the boat. It was from the Maeda Taki family. He and Ikeda Hengxing were standing at the stern, one rowing and the other rowing, and walked down with a lantern in dissatisfaction. "Don't say that he escaped, isn't this saving His Highness Akatsuki?"

Maeda Taki's words led everyone's eyes to Akichi Mitsuhide who had just said nothing. At this moment, she did not have the usual loose samurai suits and armor to cover her. In addition, the makeup on her face was crossed out by water, so she was very worried that her secret would be discovered. Yu Qiuhei saw Akichi Mitsuhide's plight and handed a heavy coat that Ryuko brought to her to Akichi Mitsuhide. Akichi Mitsuhide raised her eyes and quickly gave Yu Qiuhei a grateful glance. Then she took the coat and draped it on herself.

"Kumami was uncomfortable. She caught a cold in the water just now." Yu Qiuping smiled and helped Akichi Mitsuhide explain, "Let's go, let's go back quickly, the night is long and the dreams are too long."

After Yu Qiuhei and his group came ashore, Yu Qiuhei sent Akihiko Mitsuhide back to his camp, and then Ikeda Hengxing and Maeda Taki family went to report to Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga almost collected all the ships that could be collected near Lake Biwa and sent them to the Pipa to search for Yu Qiuhei and Akihiko Mitsuhide, so that the entire Lake Biwa was filled with stars and lights. It is said that Asai Nagamasa also sent people to join the search operation.

However, Oda Nobunaga looked for Yuqiuhei to look for Yuqiuhei, but he was very dissatisfied with his continuous disobedience during this period. He ordered the confiscation of Yuqiuhei's 70,000 stone territory in Ono area and the handover was completed before September this year. Yuqiuhei was informed by the Maeda Tada family on the ship, and he was not surprised. According to previous information, Oda Nobunaga had long wanted to confiscate Yuqiuhei's territory, and this disobedience was just an excuse. Because Yuqiuhei's territory was indeed much more than his colleagues at the same level. The new city built by Naoe Tadhihei organization has been completed, and Yuqiuhei was not too worried about the secret of Sumata Castle being discovered, so he was not too nervous.

After learning about Yu Qiuping and Akechi Mitsuhide's return, the entire Iron Detective Army camp was filled with joy, and brothers who knew Yu Qiuping came to Yu Qiuping to drink and suppress his fear. However, Yu Qiuping's mind was not on this, but on Akechi Mitsuhide's life experience. How should he treat Akechi Mitsuhide in the future? Do you just think of it as if he didn't know anything? Or what should he do?

However, what is more important is the military affairs issue, and Yu Qiuping has no time to think about these things.

The Oritoko coalition was defeated in the Battle of Kyutsu and was defeated by Asai Nagamasa for 11 consecutive times. Although they luckily retreated along the west bank of Lake Biwa to Kyoto and escaped from the pursuit of the Asai-Asakura coalition. They were not wiped out, but they suffered heavy losses and lost their reputation. Ashikaga Yoshiki and other anti-Oda forces in Kyoto area did not dare to act rashly because the Oritoko coalition was in charge of Kyoto, but they still allowed the Oritoko coalition to be attacked on many sides. They could not take action to fight the Asai-Asakura coalition, and they were unable to invest all their strength to suppress the opponents in Kyogi.

A "Oda encirclement net" targeting the Kinki controller has gradually taken shape under the secret planning of Ashikaga Yoshihiro: the Asai family, the Asakura family, the Hatano family, the Iso family, the Hexaki family, as well as the Matsunaga family, which is already hostile to Oda Nobunaga and the Matsunaga family, the Oda family, which is ambiguous, has been trapped in a lot of sieges. Seeing that the Oda family's army could not continue fighting, it was even difficult to return to Ono - the several important official roads that returned to Ono from Kyoto were all under the control of the Asai family. If you want to go back, you probably have to take a walk around the mountain.

On May 26, in order to avoid unnecessary consumption of food and grass, the Odori coalition forces began to retreat from Kyoto in batches. Yuqiehei, Akichi Mitsuhide, and Hashiba Hideyoshi were ordered to guard Kyoto and stabilize the situation in Kinki - because the news from the West Country was also very bad for the Oda family.

In the joint battle not long ago, the Miyoshi family won a great victory. Miyoshi Nagaki, Tokawa Yisun easily destroyed the military formation of the Akamatsu family, and the navy of Anzai Tomoyasu blocked Himeji Castle from the sea. Under the guidance of Miyoshi Yoshikin, there were people in the Akamatsu family who kept defecting, and even rebels tried to open the east gate of Himeji Castle to let the Miyoshi family enter the city. At the end of the road, the Akamatsu family, who had struggled for many years, was forced to surrender to the Miyoshi family. The family that once glorified during the Muromachi Shogunate period eventually lost their qualifications as a daimyo in the Warring States Period.

The Uraguchi family, who was taking advantage of the fisherman's benefits, originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the power vacuum in the Akamatsu family's surrender, the Bomo and the Bei border area, but took over the Akamatsu family's city. However, what Uraguchi So-kei did not expect was that when the situation was getting better, the Uraguchi Hideaki's family's important minister suddenly raised the banner of rebellion and turned to the Maori family. He took advantage of Uraguchi So-kei's main force to go out, and the territory was empty, and seized most of the Uraguchi's territory in one fell swoop. Uraguchi So-kei was hurrying to return to the army, but I didn't want Tokawa Yicun to take advantage of the situation and pursue the Uraguchi's troops. Uraguchi So-kei was defeated under the pursuit of the Miyo Army. When he fled to the border of the Beiqian country, the remaining entourages were less than a hundred. He wanted to call on the remaining retainers to fight back against Uraguchi's family, but was defeated by Uraguchi's family and fled again in a panic.

At this moment, Miyoshi Yoshi suddenly sent an invitation to Uraguchi So-kei, promising him to regain the former country for him. Uraguchi So-kei understood that the Miyoshi family only wanted a legitimate opportunity to invade Bei, but at the end of his life, he had to surrender to Miyoshi. Uraguchi's army, who were still resisting in Bomo, surrendered to the Miyoshi family one after another, and Bomo completely pacified him.

However, this was not the news that made Yu Qiuping most anxious. What really made him angry was the news from Maple Leaf Mountain City - that was his foundation.

Yu Qiuping left two companies in Hanoi and Izumi, led by Charlie and Jigang Shengzheng. However, these two people had a conflict in their previous strategic deployment.

When Kishiwata Castle and Takaya Castle gathered northward and threatened the southern border of Yuqiu's family, Charlie advocated the division of troops to garrison Otoshi County and Yamatokawa, and at the same time asked the little tyrants in Hanoi to help and block the Miyo army from the territory. However, Yoshigang Katsumasa demanded the concentration of troops, put the Miyo family in the territory, and resolve the crisis in one fell swoop with a field battle.

Charlie thought that Katsumasa Yoshikang's plan was too dangerous, but Katsumasa Yoshikang felt that Charlie wanted to keep troops everywhere, but in the end he couldn't defend it anywhere. However, these two were on the same level and had the same military rank - they were both major generals, and no one could command each other. Although Charlie was no longer as out of place as before, he was not good at socializing, and Katsumasa Yoshikang was even more popular, so he had a very unhappy cause. Katsumasa Imakawa originally wanted to come forward to persuade the two to reconcile, but during that time it was not peaceful, and Katsumasa Imakawa did not dare to leave Katsumasa Yoshikawa to go to the front line for too long, so he gave up. She could only order the two to remain cautious and not to act.

Who would have thought that two days ago, Katsumasa Yoshikara Katsumasa Yoshikara had a large baggage battalion of Yamato Katsumasaki lacked protection and actually wanted to lead his troops across the river to launch an attack - he did have the authority to command his troops to do so, and asked Charlie to keep up. However, Charlie did not leave the position - because he was the main force of Nagai Miyoshi. Charlie, who was worried that Sakaimasaki would lose, rejected Katsumasa Yoshikara's request and asked him to remain restrained.

Jigang Shengzheng ignored Charlie's refusal and stubbornly crossed the river and attacked. His actions did catch Sanhao Zhengkang off guard, and the baggage camp was burned by Jigang Shengzheng. However, when Sanhao Zhengkang and Sanhao Changyi's reinforcements were assembled, the number of people immediately overwhelmed Jigang Shengzheng's company. Jigang Shengzheng was forced to retreat, but the troops of the Sanhao family followed him across the river, and the defense line was about to be broken. At the critical moment, Charlie arrived in time and forced the Sanhao family to retreat to the south bank of Yamato River with a straightforward side attack.
