When Oda Nobunaga escaped from the basin west of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, there were only a dozen horses gathered on the way to escape. He was mixed with the defeated soldiers and escaped northwards through Yodogawa, and happened to meet the 50,000 army led by Hideyoshi Hashi. After seeing Oda Nobunaga's original, the Hashiba army also had a stir. Obviously, he did not expect Oda Nobunaga to end in such a mess.

"This monkey..." Seeing that Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't come out to greet him, Oda Nobunaga cursed angrily, and without saying a word, he rode his horse into Hashiba Hideyoshi's military formation. Regardless of the obstruction of the Hashiba guards, he rushed directly to Hashiba Hideyoshi's Chienzen gourd horse seal. Oda Nobunaga recognized Hashiba Hideyoshi who was riding on the horse at a glance, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You smelly monkey! You arrived only after the final battle was over? Are you looking for death?"

"Ah?" Hideyoshi Hashiba pretended to be surprised and smacked her tongue, "Has the lord taken away the Red Leaf Army so quickly? The Red Leaf Army was so boring that it was so scattered that it couldn't hold on for a long time?"

"You dog monkey..." Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he even trembled with his voice. He slapped Haruhiko in the face with a fierce slap, and shouted, "Join Yu quickly, do you believe Yu will chop you now?"

"Advance? Why do you still need to march?" Hashiba Hideyoshi smiled and took the reins back, avoided Oda Nobunaga's slap, and asked knowingly, "Hasn't all the Red Leaf Army been solved?"

"Stinky monkey, are you tired of living, right? How dare you make fun of me like this?" Oda Nobunaga was furious and pulled out a knife from his waist to chop it on the neck of Hideyoshi Hashi. Who would have thought that before he could take action, Hideyoshi Hashi had stabbed into Oda Nobunaga's abdomen with one knife. Oda Nobunaga only felt a cold between his waist and abdomen, and then lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the fatal wound on his abdomen.

Hashiba Hideyoshi twisted the ribs and watched the blood clots surge out of Oda Nobunaga's mouth with satisfaction, then laughed loudly: "Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga, who do you think you are? You still dare to shout at me now? I have long seen you have been upset, go to die!"

Hashiba Hideyoshi pulled the ribs out of Oda Nobunaga's belly, and watched Oda Nobunaga fall down and laughed with satisfaction. The dozen or so horsemen who followed Oda Nobunaga were immediately strangled by the soldiers of the Hashiba family.

"If you let the news go, it means that the tyrannical murderous demon Oda Nobunaga has been taken by our Hashiba family! The Hashiba family wants to show justice! Remedy the world!" Hashiba Hideyoshi excitedly ordered the messengers, "Enter Kinki immediately! Taking advantage of the loss of both the Yuqiu family and the Oda family, and taking advantage of the other Daimai family that participated in the war, take down the empty Yama Castle, Yamato, Oe, Ise, Mino and Ohashiba in the Oda family! Take down all the uninhabited lands of Hokuriku and Higashiyama Road!"

"Yes!" The generals of the Hashiba family responded with great help and immediately led the army to rush east.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was already riding his horse and preparing to move forward, but suddenly he stopped as if he remembered something. He turned over and dismounted, took off one of the cloth shoes he was wearing, and stuffed it to the chest of Oda Nobunaga, who was not dead, and spat hard on his face. Then the army slowly moved forward, and countless Hashiba cavalry's horse hooves stepped across Oda Nobunaga's body until he finally cut off his neck with a fatal foot.

As the Hashiba army marched into the Oda family leader in a mighty manner, Yu Qiuhei hurriedly turned around and found Imakawa Kaede who was leading the volunteer soldiers forward.

"I didn't have time to say it just now!" Yu Qiuping immediately pulled over Imakawa's reins and whispered excitedly, "Feng'er! Do you know! Your Highness is still alive! Still alive!"

Imakawa Kaede showed a look of surprise, but the questions asked were very different from what Yu Qiuping expected.

"How did Ping know?"

"You knew it long ago?" Yu Qiuping's expression was even more surprised than Imagawa Kaede at this moment. "How did Feng'er know?"

"That time I went back to the former residence of Beishan Mountain in Junfu. When I saw the arrangement in the house, I understood everything... Whenever Jiayan came to the cottage to see me and Jiaci, he would dislike Jiaci for not being savored and tidied up the house himself." Imagawa Kaede recalled the past, showing a look of nostalgia and a little sad.

"Then why didn't you tell me? You still won't let me continue to investigate?"

"I feel... Jiayan's arrangement might be to free himself from his secular identity. He has not contacted us for so many years, so he probably doesn't want to have any contact with us. Since that's the case, don't disturb us." Imakawa Kaede sighed, then shook his head slightly.

At this moment, a guard suddenly rode his horse and reported to Yu Qiuping: "Your Highness, Madam, a strange middle-aged man sent the second son, the eldest princess and Miss Ye Gu back, and even called for your name to see your Highness."

"Go." Imakawa Kaede smiled a little complainingly, then pushed Yu Qiuhei, "When the father finally came back, the first thing he wanted to see was not his biological daughter, but your son-in-law."

"Maybe I'm afraid that he will scare you." Yu Qiuping muttered in his heart and rode away. When he arrived, he found that Imakawa Yoshimoto was waiting for him next to the official road at the foot of the east mountain of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle.

"You did it, Yuqiu." Imakawa Yoshimoto looked at Yuqiu-hei who was rushing over with dust, and congratulated him with a smile, "It's amazing."

"It's not over yet." Yu Qiuping himself did not have much joy. "The Red Leaf Army suffered more than half of the casualties in this battle. Including the previous losses at the city of Takamatsu, it was already very painful. It would be difficult to recover after a few years. At this critical moment of competing for the world, I guess I can't do anything. The Hashiba family, who is profitable, will suppress the world. Isn't this still on the track of history?"

"If you want to end the cycle of historical tragedy and a peaceful and prosperous era with long-term stability, you can only choose to let the Yuqiu family unify the world by themselves." Yuqiuping's eyes have never been so firm, and his tone is unshakable, "That may take another ten years."

"It's like a different person." Imakawa Yoshimoto also obviously saw Yu Qiuhei's changes, and nodded with a smile, "But have you forgotten something?"

"What's the matter?" Yu Qiuping asked with a tilted head in confusion.

"Where is the betrothal gift?" Imakawa Yoshimoto spread his hands and teased with a smile.

"Ah?" Yu Qiuping became even more confused.

"When I gave you a marriage, didn't you ask you to take the world down to the Imakawa family as a betrothal gift for marrying Feng'er?" Imakawa Yoshimoto seemed very satisfied with his joke. He laughed loudly, but found that Yu Qiuping, who was in front of him, had his eyebrows sunk and was thinking about this matter very seriously.

"What? Yuqiu? Do you really want to give the world to the Imakawa family?" Imakawa Yoshimoto shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand like shyness, "Forget it, I'm not interested at all, it's so troublesome."

"Then there is another way." Now it was Yu Qiuping's turn to tease him in a joking tone, "I just don't know what your nobleman in the family will think?"

On June 18, 1582, the Battle of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, which was one of the most important battles in Japanese history and one of the most important battles in world history, finally came to an end after many days. The four commanders of Oda Nobunaga

More than 100,000 troops were defeated by the Red Leaf Army with less than one-sixth of the troops, shocking the world. When Yu Qiuping, known as the benevolent man in the world, appeared on the battlefield, the treacherous and cruel Nobunaga Oda immediately betrayed everyone. Countless Daming and Oda family samurai gave up the battle and even joined Yu Qiuping. This allusion was adopted by countless fables and textbooks in later generations, and became a story that people enjoyed. Yu Qiuping's epic bravery of riding alone in the formation was even more praised by future generations. The process of the battle at Maple Leaf Mountain Castle was too legendary. If it weren't for detailed historical materials to prove it, many historians would find it difficult to believe that such a heroic battle actually existed.

The most incomprehensible of this among the people and later generations is that Yu Qiuping returns a miraculous king. Why did Yu Qiuping, who had no news for more than ten days after the breaking of the dam in Gaosong City in the middle of the Central Plains, suddenly appear on the east mountain of Maple Leaf Mountain? This is still unexplainable. History cannot provide any assumptions that can stand the scrutiny, and archaeology cannot contribute meaningful evidence. A normal person cannot survive in the flood for more than ten days. Since Yu Qiuping is not dead, it means that he must have been saved a few days after the flood broke out. Then why didn't he send out the news that he is still alive in time?

As a result, various weird statements emerged and were widely discussed after dinner. The most popular saying is that the real Yuqiuhei is actually dead. It was Imagawa Kaede who let Yuqiuhei's shadow warrior play Yuqiuhei when his army was about to be defeated, and he completed this shocking counterattack. There is a relatively close statement that Yuqiuhei was rescued by fishermen on Shikoku Island in the flood. After being unconscious for many days, he hurried back to Maple Leaf Mountain Castle. After arriving at the battlefield, he joined the battle directly - but the fatal flaw of this statement is that it is impossible to explain why Yuqiuhei did not notify the rest of Yuqiu's family in advance after waking up; there is another even more bizarre saying that Yuqiuhei has mastered mysterious superpowers and can instantly move from the bottom of the sea to Maple Leaf Mountain. Of course, this theory that violates science can only make people laugh, and even older children will not believe it.

After Oda Nobunaga was defeated in the Battle of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, he fled north in a hurry. He originally wanted to seek help from Hideyoshi Hashiba, but was directly killed by the latter and trampled to death in the chaos. His flesh and blood were so blurred that it was difficult to recognize. A generation of heroes died in such a miserable state, which was due to retribution. If he did evil, he would die by himself.

After that, Hideyoshi Hashiba immediately marched into Kinki and Ono, seizing a large area of ​​old Oda family who was empty due to Oda Nobunaga Shin's death and Oda family defeated. The important officials of the Oda family all suffered significant losses due to the Battle of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, while Daiming, the Tokugawa Ieyasu, lost the opportunity to significantly expand the territory by taking advantage of the decline of the Oda family because they were far away from the territory. For the sake of stabilizing the situation, the Yuqiu family sent a Red Leaf Fleet to send the Kanto Daming back to the territory. Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately lost the sheep and seized the Kanto territory where Oda Nobuta died. At the same time, the Yuqiu family also supported the inheritance territory of Akechi Mitsuhide's young son, and named it Akechi Mitsuhide, and still put "Ping" in the lower word, expressing the Yuqiu family's respect for Akechi Mitsuhide.

At the same time, Hashiba Hideyoshi finally showed off his fangs to the former Oda family comrades, blocking them in Kinki and not allowing them to return to the old corps. At this time, Oda Nobuo, who rushed from the sea outside the Shanyin () Road, and Oda Nobutta arrived at Ninoha Nagahide's territory Wakasa, calling on the old ministers of the Oda family to fight Hashiba Hideyoshi together. Tokugawa Ieyasu of Tokugawa Ieyasu of Tokugawa also raised his troops to restrain Hashiba Hideyoshi. History once again slowly drove towards the original track, and the new battle began.

"However, let's stop with Yu Qiuping's story, which is a good ending." Yu Qiuping smiled at Imakawa Yoshimoto.

"After that, I can leave it to the Imakawa clan."
