Chapter 36 Jade Rope Landing

"Your Highness's meaning is understood." Honda Tada Hiroshi was very disappointed, but he knew he was unable to turn the world back. Facing the second highness in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "Are I old or are they too young? In their eyes, the honor and loyalty of the samurai are insignificant compared to life... The young generals of the Botaxic Castle and the Ninja Castle opened the city to surrender in less than four days. Hinahara fought against Sakai, and the two generals of Ohira repeatedly fell into danger in the right palace. Now the one from the Tamarosa Castle plans to flee without a fight. Is my Tokugawa family really destiny? Or is the one from Osaka Castle really helping the gods?"

"Haha, no," Tadahiro Honda smiled bitterly, "What God cares about may not be the young master of Osaka Castle, but the Yamato Right Mansion of Koriyama Castle. It seems that the world is not going to be calm even if the Tokugawa clan is gone."

Thinking of this, Tada Hirohiro seemed to feel relieved. He turned to Masahiro Honta and said, "Your Highness's kindness is my heart. However, if the old minister leaves, the enemy will rush straight to Edo Castle. At that time, Tokaido will be blocked and Your Highness will not be able to go north. Instead of doing this, it is better for the old minister to guard Yusheng Castle alone, so that you can buy some time for Your Highness."

"But Mashu must not be a horse. It's tanta stumbled to die!" Takiyama Masato, who was close to Masato, also a favorite minister, wanted to take the opportunity to show Masato's kindness, so he pretended to be surprised: "Even if Tokai Road is cut off, we can take a detour to Hachiozi Castle and go to Edo via Koshu Street. You are an important official in your family, so you must not stay."

"Haoiko Castle?" Honda Tada snorted coldly: "Don't you know that the guard of Matsuhira Tanba, who was guarding the city, left the city and fled four days ago? But he was not so lucky. He met the Toyotomi guerrilla army in Aomei Naiki Village and was shot into a sieve by arrows. Now thirteen of the 22 Musashi counties have been captured by Toyotomi army. If your highness wants to go to Edo, you must hurry up. Don't wait for the three counties of the Takenan (Ebara County, Tuchi County, and Kiritomi County) to be captured by the enemy and set off. You will really not be able to leave at that time."

When Takiyama heard this, he was also very scared. He quickly said to Masato Honta: "But Masou is right. Once the Hachinoko Castle is broken, even if Tama County is lost, he will have to attack Wunan next. Your Highness should set off immediately." After that, several people followed the side and urged him, which made Masato Honta difficult for Masato Honta to make a decision.

Although Masatoki was cowardly by nature, he was not an ungrateful person. Before Moto Tadao Shinto went to war, he would not have been able to take up the position of castle as a substitute before Moto Tadao Shinto. Now that Yuli wants to keep Tadao Shinto in Yusuo City, Yu Rui can barely explain it, but Yu Qing can't speak for it. However, Tadaoyama's performance just now made him dissatisfied.

"But Ma Shu, please don't say much. Since I am a castle agent, I have the right to decide on the big and small affairs in the castle." After thinking about it, Honda Masato finally made a decision: "You go to Edo with me. I will arrange for those who can do this Jade Rose Castle to guard it."

Afterwards, Masahiro Honda ignored Honda Tadahiro's surprised expression and said to Takiyama Masahiro sideways, "You and Toshikiro have been with me for the longest time. I intended to let Toshikiro guard the city, but this morning he went ahead of you and me. It seems that you will have to work hard this time."

After saying that, Honta Masahisa patted Takiyama's father's shoulder heavily to show his respect, then took off his sword and handed it to him, reminding him: "You are the most trusted retainer of my Masahisa. You can't lose the face of my Honta family. This time, we will only take two days to go to Edo to get to him. This should not be difficult for you."

The moment he had been hypocritical and persuaded Tadahiro Honta, but at this moment he was asked to stay and guard the castle. Takiyama's father suddenly felt dizzy. He looked at Masato Honta with disbelief, but Masato's expression was serious, not like a joke.

"Although I trust you and I, I still want to remind you that if something like Hachiozi Castle happens, I don't think you need to return to me. To be precise, you will lose the qualification to be a Tokugawa retainer." Although Masashige Honta is very close to Takiyama's Masashige, his performance just now is like a bucket of cold water, awakening Masashige's rationality.

Takiyama Masato originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard Masatogether's statement just now, he swallowed it back into his stomach: "I will definitely not let down Your Highness's trust, and I will do my best to guard Yushengcheng."

After hearing this, Honda Masaki nodded slightly, and then ordered everyone to pack up and set off immediately. As for the group close to him who had just agreed, they were also asked to stay in Yusheng Castle to help Takiyama guard the city.

In this way, braved the guns and bullets of the Toyotomi army, Masashige Honda led Honda Tadahiro and more than ten samuraimen and warriors to set out from the east gate of Tatsuoki Castle through Tokaido to Edo Castle. Tatsuoyama Masashige, the new castle of Tatsuoki Castle, led 100 people to gather in Ninomaru, the Tatsuoki Castle (Monomaru has been basically destroyed), as if he wanted to fight the Toyotomi army to the death.

However, at noon that day, when Honda Masashige and others rested in the Hakoto Temple in Konosuke County, the sound of cannons that had been rumbling suddenly stopped.

"It seems that the Toyotomi army is preparing to land." Tadahiro Honda said while drinking water.

"Maybe, after drinking water, we will go on the road." Honda Masahiro's expression was calm, but his heart was a little upset. He was not sure whether Takiyama Masato could hold on until tomorrow.

Honda Tadahiro originally wanted to persuade him to send someone to investigate near Yushengcheng, but when Masato said this, he was not convenient to say more, so he had to nodded silently.

At this time, Sagami Bay seemed extremely congested due to the gathering of warships. More than 10,000 people landed in an orderly manner at the port south of Yusheng Castle, without any resistance.

On the path leading to Yusheng Castle, Tadaki Ogasawara rode the black deer hair given by Hideobo, with a high spirit. The lacquer and schizophrenia and Sanguiling Army flags behind him shine brightly under the sun. Behind him was a well-equipped and strict military disciplined army army army. This army was marching in the fields with steady steps, which caused the farmers in the villages beside the road to stop and watch.

"Look at the flag. I have seen that pattern. It is actually the team of His Highness the Taige. Ten years have passed in a flash. I didn't expect to see the Toyotomi army in Sagami!" A middle-aged farmer pointed at the Wuqitong army flag in the team and said excitedly to the young man beside him.

"Father, is this the number one army you often call?" the young man asked with his head raised and curious.

The middle-aged farmer nodded: "I followed His Highness Taige to conquer Odahara and sent water to Ishida's master." The farmer still relished the past, "It's a pity that my leg was injured later and I couldn't continue to join the army. But Taige still gave us peasants and soldiers and asked His Highness, the later lord, to ensure our livelihood, so that I can have land to plant here. Now I think about it, thank Taige for his grace!"

The boy's eyes were shining with light, and he said with envy: "I really want to join His Highness's team!"
