Chapter 352: Bing Fa Yu Tucheng

"Your Highness, don't say anything more," Maori Hiromoto clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Tomorrow, I will lead my army back to Hiroshima. When everything is arranged, I will go back to Osaka to meet the right mansion. At that time, your highness will be asked to deal with me more for me." After that, Huimoto gave a deep bow to the Hide family, which really surprised the Hide family. The Mori ministers also bowed to the ground when they saw this, including Amano Motomasa.

Xiu's family hurriedly helped Huiyuan up and replied with a serious expression: "Please rest assured that Xiu's family will do their best at that time."

Huiyuan nodded with confidence, and then personally escorted the Xiu family to the entrance of Pusheng Village and helped the Xiu family on horseback. Before leaving Kinki, the Xiu family reminded him that before leaving Kinki, he must go to Osaka to say goodbye to Hidera and Yokohime. This is not only a courtesy for a minister, but also can change Yokohime's view of him. In the future, the Right Mansion will return to Beijing, which may be helpful at critical moments.

Huiyuan repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the Hideaki family, and only led everyone back to the formation when he watched him go away. As soon as he returned to the formation, Amano Motomasa raised objections to the withdrawal of the troops: "Lord, if Huiqiong had not insisted on blocking it just now, the former prime minister had been controlled by the family. The old minister really didn't understand why you agreed to withdraw your troops? Didn't you discuss it well just now and lead the army into Osaka and wait for it to change?"

"Wait for it to change?" Before Huiyuan could speak, Huiqiong, Anguo Temple, was arguing with Yuan Zheng first: "The victory or defeat in the Aijin war was not finalized before, but now the Right Mansion has won a great victory and is about to lead an army of 120,000 to triumphantly. The situation is already clear. It is really a dream to still think about competing with him at this time!

Besides, the premier dared to come alone this time, which means that he had arranged everything. Maybe he had already entered Osaka first. Instead of fighting with him, it would be better to show weakness to him, so that he could commit crimes against him in the future. After all, the Kinki attack launched by our family this time has greatly infringed on the power of the Right Mansion. If there was no strong Daming to coordinate, what would happen in the future? Everyone here should be clear about it."

After Huiqiong's guidance, the Maori generals no longer dared to raise objections. Huimon nodded slightly to show his support to him. He immediately asked the side to prepare horses and prepared to go to Osakamoto Maru to say goodbye to Hiderai and his son.

Huiqiong persuaded, "Lord, don't be too hasty. If it's too late today, when you go to the city to tell Mrs. Dian that she is going to withdraw her troops, it will inevitably make her suspicious. It's better to go back tomorrow morning and act calmly when meeting and not make her feel strange. This is the most beneficial to our family."

"I'm worried when you say this," Huiyuan thought for a while and felt something was wrong: "You said that the Prime Minister of Bei really could hold back and not hand over the letter to Mrs. Yone and all the lords in Osaka Castle? Why do I think this is his plan to lie to me to withdraw my troops?"

"There is no need for the prime minister to do this now." Huiqiong sighed and said earnestly: "Actually, he can't come this time. After receiving the news, he will occupy Osaka Castle first. When the army of the Right Palace arrives, he will attack our army from both sides, and may be able to make military achievements. But he did not do this, but advised the lord and everyone here to speak kindly. This is the prime minister's benevolence and righteousness. Before, our army surrounded him but did not attack him. This time he came here, he must have the intention of returning his family to his favor."

After hearing this, Huiyuan was silent for a long time. Huiqiong's words made him look at the young master of the Ukita Hide family with admiration. "If it is true, Huiyuan seems to be inferior to the former prime minister! Then I will go to Osaka tomorrow to meet Young Master Hidela and Mrs. Hiroshi. You can clean up quickly in the past two days, and we must evacuate Kinki as soon as possible. I guess the prime minister won't be able to hide it for too long, and we cannot let his kindness down."

On the morning of April 30, Huimoto rode his horse to Osaka Castle. As expected, as Ekiki said, Ukita's army had already entered Osaka first, and Tochimaru was controlled by the Hideaki family. Because the Hideaki family greeted him in advance, Huimoto was not stopped when he entered the city. His conversation with Yonei was also quite smooth. Before leaving, Yonei promised him that he would be willing to say a few good words to the Mori family after the triumphant reign of Hideaki. Huimoto was very excited and immediately promised Yonei to lead his troops back to Hiroshima as soon as possible.

In the early morning of May 1, Huiyuan officially led a 22,000 army from Osaka Kusuo Village and returned to the Chinese Maori territory along the Yamayo Road. At this point, the Kinki Battle, which lasted for 42 days (the Toyotomi Army called the "Mori Kinki Invasion" and the Maori Army called the "Kinki Battle"), ended with the defeat and retreat of the Maori Army. In this battle, Hideobo Party successively joined the Maeda, Ukita and other forces, and the total force was invested to reach 61,000 (including the 10,000 troops guarding Guyama and Taumuma Castle); the Maori Army mobilized the entire leader and the troops also reached 46,000, making the Kinki area the second largest battlefield after Aizu.

Hidera's hidden place was almost occupied by the Maori army in this battle, and the authority of the Toyotomi family was greatly weakened. On the contrary, the heroic resistance of the Yamato Toyotomi retainers won the support of Kinki Daimai for Hidepo. In addition, the victory of the Battle of Hinahara made Hidepo's reputation in Kinki, which laid the groundwork for the later intensification of the conflict between Ishida Mitsunari and Hidepo.

In fact, on the same day that the Maori army was defeated by Yudongshan, a decisive battle on Kyushu Island came to an end.

On April 26, Kuroda Rumizu and Tadatoshi Shimazu joined forces with 13,000 troops. They set out from Yayoi Castle and pointed directly at Uto Castle, the leader of Konishi. Hayatoshi Castle went to Kato Kiyomasa to ask for help. On the same day, Kiyomasa led 8,700 people across Midori River and arrived at Uto Castle Shimachi. That night, Oto Yoshito also led 3,600 people to meet. After discussion, the two decided to fight against Shimazu and Kuroda coalition forces on the south bank of Uto River.

Utu Castle is adjacent to Akihiro and to the north, and is a resident city built by Konishi Head personally. It consists of Moonmaru, Ninomaru, Minomaru, Uchibori and the moat on the periphery. In addition, it has hollow moats and five gates, which is one of the most solid cities in Kyushu. The president dredged the Utu River and the Chuoba River outside Utu Castle, and used the Chuoba River as the first line of defense outside Utu Castle, and the Utu River became the main waterway of the Chuocho Canal.

Tadahoshi Shimazu mobilized more than 50 warships from Satsuma, entered the Akira Sea through the Eighth Sea, and tried to shell Uto Castle from the sea. Kiyomasa Kato ordered the Himego Naval Army to go out to fight, but was defeated by the Shimezu Naval Army equipped with the Nanman Datu. In the end, only five of the more than 30 warships fled back to Kumamoto Port. The Shimezu Naval Army completed the suppression of the Himego Sea before the official war began.
