Chapter five hundred and thirty fourth turning point
After Yu Qiuping walked out of Tianshou Pavilion, Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Mrs. Tsushiyama were waiting outside with some anxiety. After seeing Yu Qiuping coming out, they immediately won.
"Uncle... My father's battle before Meng Lang caused heavy losses to Yu Qiu's army. I'm really sorry." Tokugawa Nobuyaki saw Yu Qiu's red eyes and immediately knelt down apologetically and gave Yu Qiu's gift, "I'm willing to apologize for my father."
"Sanlang, it's not your fault, you don't have to do this. Ling Zun has the consideration of Ling Zun. You are still young and don't understand those." Yu Qiuping tried hard to squeeze out a smile, helped Tokugawa Nobuyaki up, and patted him on his shoulder, "You are an amazing good child, justice and responsibility. You must stick to your original aspirations and nature in the future and go all the way."
You are a kind-hearted child, so don't become like your father.
Yu Qiuping said silently in his heart.
"Are you leaving?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu heard what Yu Qiuping said and asked in surprise, "Our Tokugawa family has not yet been entertained. Thank you for your recreation of the Tokugawa family?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
What are you grateful for? Waiting for Tokugawa Ieyasu to repay his revenge?
Yu Qiuping still tried hard to smile and shook his head, "It's time for spring plowing, I'm going to hurry back. How can so many people stay abroad for a long time?"
"Okay, Saburo, Your Highness Hongye has its own opinions, please stop." Mrs. Tuoyama saw that Tokugawa Nobuyasu wanted to persuade him again, and said to stop him. At the same time, she smiled at Yu Qiuping, "Your Highness Hongye has returned to Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, remember to say hello to Feng'er for me. I haven't seen her for a long time. I'll take her with me next time I have time."
"That's natural, Feng'er also specifically told me to say hello to you." Yu Qiuping smiled and replied, and after saying that, he wanted to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around again, came to the ears of Tokugawa Nobuyashi and Mrs. Chuyama, and lowered his voice: "There is another thing that needs to be reminded. You will remember it in your heart and do not talk nonsense."
&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"There is naturally a measure of the situation." Tokugawa Nobuyaki saw that Yu Qiuhei was suddenly so formal, so he nodded in a hurry.
"Since the Tokugawa family is an important ally of the Oda family, Saburo and Mrs. Tsukiyama's life experience are closely related to the Imakawa family, the former master of the Imakawa family, and some people in the Oda family complain about this." Yu Qiuhei said coldly in a subtle voice that was almost inaudible, "Don't be involved with the Takeda family, otherwise I can't guarantee that the lord will do anything."
"Are you talking about the Five Destiny?" Mrs. Chuyyama frowned when she heard this, and the resentment on her face was revealed in no doubt. As the princess of the Imakawa family, she naturally had unforgettable resentment towards the Oda family, which had a grudge against the destruction of the country. In order to consolidate the alliance with the Tokugawa family, the Oda family married Princess Oda Wude to Tokugawa Nobuyashi many years ago. The interweaving of family hatred and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made the relationship between Mrs. Chuyyama and Princess Wude very bad, and it was very difficult to be a human being in the middle.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Mother!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu shouted in a low voice in horror, fearing that Yu Qiuhei, as a retainer of the Oda family, would realize the conflict between Oda Wuto and Mrs. Tsuyama. In fact, Yu Qiuhei had known it for a long time. Not only through the history of his previous life, but also because Oda Wuto wrote letters back many times and accused Mrs. Tsuyama of bullying her to Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga had already mentioned this matter several times at the meeting of the ministers, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied.
"It's okay, I'm not an outsider, so I won't talk too much." Yu Qiuhei shook his head and patted Tokugawa Nobuyashi's shoulder at the same time, indicating that he was at ease, "I have limited identity, please pay more attention."

By the time Yu Qiuping led his army back to Kinki, it was already February of the fourth year of the Yuangui (1573). During the more than two months he was recuperating his troops in Sanhe, the situation in Kinki had undergone earth-shaking changes.
First, the Miyoshi family - after entering the spring plowing, they had to withdraw their troops again because they could not delay the spring plowing. After withdrawing most of the Kinki, the Miyoshi family no longer had enough farmland and grain production to maintain the long-term overseas expenses of the army, and they did not dare to delay farm work at all. Honanji also faced a similar dilemma. They mainly rely on the people Ikki for their combat effectiveness and had to withdraw their troops during the busy farming period.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The Oda family is different. The Oda family controls the Ono Plain, the largest grain-producing land in Japan. In addition, the Minami Ori River can continuously supply the troops every year. In addition, Oda Nobunaga is gradually implementing his plan to separate the soldiers and farmers - standing troops, and all the Oda families have the ability to keep the troops abroad for a long time and delay spring farming.
Originally, the plan for the Nobunaga's encirclement was to rush to Kinki from the Miyo family, the Honanji family, the Asai family, the Asakura family, the Matsunaga family and the Ashikaga Yoshiki, and others to rush to Kinki, dragging all Oda Nobunaga's troops, leaving behind the empty Ono. Then, Takeda Shingen sent troops to the Ueluo, and rushed into the weak Oda family, thus defeating the Oda family in one fell swoop. However, who could have expected that Takeda Shingen would die unexpectedly? Once the Takeda army retreated, all plans were nowhere to be discussed. Because these coalition forces could not consume Oda Nobunaga's troops, and it would be meaningless to hold Oda Nobunaga's troops here.
The Miyoshi family and the Honanji family withdrew their troops; and the powerful Takeda army, which was in full force, was repelled by Yu Qiupi, and Takeda Shingen was unfortunately killed. Even the famous Akabe was destroyed by the Red Leaf Cavalry. The subsequent bad news caused the morale of the participants in the Nobunaga Surrounding Net, which was in full swing, to plummet, and many young rich families turned to the Oda family again.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
As the Asakura family had to withdraw their troops due to spring plowing, the Asai family, who was unable to support their troops, was forced to give up the Kinki-Ono channel that they had controlled for several months. Ono's grain was continuously transported to Kinki, allowing Oda Nobunaga's army to restore its strategic offensive capabilities.
Seeing that the situation was so dangerous, the Issei family and the Hatano family retreated their troops one after another, and even sent a letter to express their apology to Oda Nobunaga. When Matsunaga Hide saw something was wrong, Matsunaga Hide immediately betrayed Ashikaga Yoshiki, presented tea to Oda Nobunaga Nobunaga and surrendered and attacked Ashikaga's granary and family, and tied Ashikaga Yoshiki's wife and children to Oda Nobunaga. For Matsunaga Hide's good performance, Oda Nobunaga once again generously forgave him - no one understood why Oda Nobunaga had such a good temper towards Matsunaga Hide.
At the end of last year, Ashigaki Yoshiki, who was still relying on his own organization to call for the wind and rain. Ashigaki Yoshiki, who was faintly reviving the Ashigaki shogunate, became a lonely man again in just two months. The turning point of Nobunaga's siege was that Yu Qiuhei defeated Takeda Shingen in the Mihimachi Joint Battle - after that, everything was moving towards the favor of the Oda family. Of course, people of this era do not know what the turning point of the first Nobunaga's siege in the later middle school history exams has become a must-have question for a big test.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
In March of the fourth year of the Monochi (1573), Ashikaga Yoshiki, who was less powerful in the army, was defeated by the Oda army with a population of more than ten times that of him. He was forced to give up most of the Yamacai Kingdom that he had finally controlled and sued the Nijo Imperial Office. Ashikaga Yoshiki was embarrassed and tried to move out of the Emperor's mediation. However, this time, Oda Nobunaga did a great job not only rejected the Emperor's request, but also blocked all the passages around the Nijo Imperial Office later, so that Ashikaga Yoshiki could not even send a messenger.
Due to the heavy loss of combat effectiveness of the Red Leaf Army in the previous period, Oda Nobunaga did not ask them to participate in this series of joint battles, but allowed them to return to Hanoi to cultivate. As for Yuqiuhei, Oda Nobunaga asked Yuqiuhei to lead the Red Leaf Cavalry, who had just won the world for defeating Akabe, to come to Yamashiro to suppress the formation - in fact, it was to shock the surroundings.
Yu Qiuhei then entrusted his troops to Takenaka Shigeji, who had just recovered from serious illness. He led his guards and cavalry to Nijo Imperial College to meet with the Oda family's army. By the time he arrived, the Oda army had already launched a fierce attack on Nijo Imperial College. Due to the disparity in force, the flag of Ashikaga Nijo's Aramaichi and the only dozens of remaining devotional people were surrounded in his residence.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Hongye, tell me how did you kill that Aibei?" Oda Nobunaga's first sentence when he saw Yu Qiuhei was very enthusiastic, "Those mountain monkeys were arrogant, and finally got rid of them!"
"Lord's face." Yu Qiuhei walked to half of Oda Nobunaga's body behind him, and stood on the wall of Honmaru with Oda Nobunaga to watch the progress of the siege of Ashikaga Yoshiki's residence. I wonder if it was because of Oda Nobunaga's actions against each other, and drizzled slightly in the sky. "Akabe is indeed brave and is no match for the cavalry hedge. So, he lined up all the cavalry into two dense rows and directly hit him like a wall, and exchanged his life with Akabe's life. Akabe's people could not withstand the aura, so they were killed by Akabe."
"Puff!" Oda Nobunaga burst out laughing when he heard this, "You guy can think of it. Are you using cavalry as infantry? Look at your infantry arrays like tofu blocks, but I didn't expect your cavalry to do the same."&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"It's really helpless, lord. If you can win in the hedge, you won't make such a bad decision." Yu Qiuhei noticed that Oda Nobunaga's mood seemed unexpectedly good. Originally, in the past few years, he had a very quarrel with Oda Nobunaga because of various things, but Oda Nobunaga seemed to have no heart at all. However, according to Yoshihiro Ikeda, Oda Nobunaga had quarreled with almost everyone except Lin Xiuzhen and Ninobunaga's Nagahide in the past few years, and it was not inferior to Yu Qiuhei's share. However, since Oda Nobunaga even accepted the rebellion of Shibata Katsuki, he might not really care about his subordinates' confrontation.
"When will the lord plan to negotiate peace with the Gongfang Palace?" Yu Qiuhei pointed to Ashikaga Yoshihiro's residence, "Is it a bit too much to beat the Gongfang Palace to such a mess? At least you have to save some face for him? No matter how fierce the Miyoshi family and the Matsunaga family had before, they had never forced the Gongfang Palace to such a situation. Otherwise, if we have a peace talk in the future, we will meet again, and it will be a bad face."&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Who told you that Yu would meet him again?" Nobunaga Oda snorted coldly, took out the folding fan from his waist, and gently tapped the battlements.
"The lord is going to replace him as a general?" Yu Qiuping was stunned when he heard this, "Is it Huirumaru, the eldest son of Gongfang Palace, or His Highness Yoshiaki, the younger brother of Gongfang Palace?"
Ashikaga Yoshiaki had been under the control of Oda Nobunaga, and Ashikaga Furuwaramaru was tied up by Matsunaga Hiroshi. No matter who he chose, it seems to be understandable. However, Yu Qiuhei knew that Ashikaga Yoshiaki's character was. In history, he built a Nobunaga siege and would definitely do something bad in secret. Ashikaga Furuwaramaru did not seem to be born in his previous life, and Yu Qiuhei knew nothing about him.
"Who told you that Yu still wants to keep the general?" Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly again. This time, a murderous aura flashed through his eyes.
