At noon on May 7, Horiuchi Jun and Ogasawara Tadaki, who were responsible for attacking the Miura Peninsula, met at the banks of Tsurumi River and joined forces with 15,000 troops; Shingu Yoshino (son of Horiuchi Jun, Kumano Beidan) led 8,000 people to defeat the Kokoku, Chiba, and Sakura Sanchuang, and rebel against the Kuomintang Taichung Hidemasato, and completed the suppression of the five counties of the Central Secretariat. Since then, the Tokugawa army defense line between Edogawa, Nakagawa and Arakawa, became the first group to arrive at the Edo Castle among all the armies.

At this time, Honta Masashige and his group had just arrived on the east coast of the Tama River, and Shinagawa Minato was already in front of them. Although they had not encountered Toyotomi army so far, Honta Tada Tada still suggested that Masashige send people to Shinagawa for investigation. After all, before arriving in Edo, there was only a major town like Shinagawa. Once it was lost, its previous efforts were in vain.

Honta Masashige immediately sent his personal guard Shintani Shigeharu to investigate around Shinagawa, and he and everyone temporarily lived in the Ebara Shrine. The god Lord, who was separated from the relatives of the god, and Honta Masashimi, were also old friends. Although he did not want to bring disaster into the shrine, he still felt compassion for the face of the trekking and the trekking of the trek, and he still placed him in the side hall to rest.

Although I had only been walking for half a day, I was cautious and frightened along the way. Everyone was exhausted. As soon as I entered the hall, a group of people lay on the tatami and fell asleep soundly. Only Masashige and Tadahiro Honta were still scared and did not dare to take it lightly at this critical moment.

After a while, Honda Masahiro moved to Tadahiro Honda and said with concern: "I don't know how Tatsuoki Castle is now. Although I told Takiyama to defend the city with all his might, I still couldn't feel at ease. Is it too selfish to do this?"

"Your Highness does not need to blame yourself," Honda Tadahiro comforted him: "You and I know who Takiyama is. If he is willing to defend, it is certainly worthy of praise, and if he cannot defend, there is no need to blame him. Faced with more than 10,000 Toyotomi army that has traveled through the battlefield and the strong ships and cannons all over Sagami Bay, the result is no longer important."

"Does Ma Shou also feels that he can't resist the fact that he is in good condition?"

"What do you think?" Tadahiro Honda asked back: "I have always been close to you before, and suddenly asked him to command the soldiers to defend the city. He faced a powerful military force of a hundred times that of his own. No matter who he is, he knows the result. Shu Laochen said bluntly that even though he is the eldest son of Takiyama City Lord Takiyama Tsukiyama, he learned the way of offense and defense with his father when he was young, but it was all about war. In this case, unless the gods appear, there is no other way. Maybe he has opened the city and surrendered now... Speaking of this, the old minister has something to ask His Highness."

"But please speak, Masamatsu." Honda Masahiro said.

"Do you really want him to defend the city if you left Takiyama in Tatsuoshi Castle?" Honda Tadahiro smiled, and there seemed to be a hint of joke in his words.

At first, Honda Masashige didn't know how to answer, but when he thought about Tadahiro's eyes, he seemed to understand something: "But Ma Shou felt that I left him in Yusheng Castle not just to defend the city?"

"To be precise, it's not for defending the city, right?" Tadahiro's tone was very subtle, as if he was asking a question or emphasizing, which really made a few drops of cold sweat seep from Masato's forehead.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Zheng Chong pretended to be calm.

"Well," Tadahiro felt that the two of them were so confused that they didn't know when they were going to touch each other, so he said bluntly: "Your Highness, you asked Takiyama to stay in the city this morning, probably your hard work is your plan? It's a pity that Takiyama seems to be kept in the dark, and maybe he will never understand Your Highness's painstaking efforts."

"But Ma Shuai You..." Zheng Chong wanted to speak but stopped, but finally he lowered his head silently.

Tadahiro saw that Masatoki was a little depressed and regretted it. He felt that he shouldn't be so straightforward, so he clicked it and patted Masatoki on the shoulder of an elder, and said sincerely: "This time we go to Edo, we will definitely die for a lifetime. Takiyama is your confidant and friend. How could you suddenly let him stay in Yusheng Castle to die? Everyone on the noodles felt that you were destroying your relatives for the sake of the old minister. In fact, you know in your heart that with Takiyama's personality, you can only live in Yusheng Castle. The enemy is getting closer and closer. If one day the ammunition and food are gone, Edo Nakata demands that the whole city be broken, how can we live alone?

Although the old minister is sometimes very stubborn, he is not a fool. If outsiders don’t understand you, can the old minister not understand? It is because he knows too much that he has not exposed his plan. However, when he thinks that Takiyama may be resentful to you, the old minister really couldn’t help it, so he had to complain to you now, and ask Your Highness to forgive him.”

Tadaoka's heart-wrenching expression made Masato feel very ashamed. He thought Tadaoka would use this matter to threaten him, but he never thought that he would judge a gentleman by his heart. His heart suddenly surging, and his eyes were like mustard wiped, and he couldn't help but leave two lines of tears.

"But Ma Shou, it was all my fault before. If I had known that you were so open-minded, Zheng Chong would not have made such a bad decision." Zheng Chong raised his head and looked at Chung-Go, but saw Chung-Go smiling and his eyes were full of endless care and love as if he was looking at his own child.

"Your Highness is still young, and it is inevitable that some things are not considered thoroughly, so the old minister can understand them. Your hard-working plan is not a bad idea. Apart from me, no one else has seen it. He also applauds for you to destroy your relatives for the sake of justice and eliminate treacherous slander.

The old minister has followed the lord for decades. Zhengchun, and you and Tadaic Chun are like the old minister's children. Sometimes, although they are naughty and do some confusing things, they will not affect the old minister's feelings for you at all. The lord has accompanied the inner palace to fight Aijin, and life and death are uncertain. Now the fall of Yusheng Castle is inevitable, and Edo Castle is also in danger. The entire Guanbazhou is already full of holes and erosions. This is a crisis that has never happened in the Tukanjian. It is understandable that you are panicked and do something stupid. The old minister does not ask for anything else, but just asks you not to be depressed. The old minister will definitely keep you safe all day long if he lives."

Honta Masashige was already filled with tears at the moment. He recalled the past with Tadahiro in his head, and all kinds of love surged into his heart. He held Tadahiro's vast and vicissitudes of hands tightly and said excitedly: "It was all my fault before. Please forgive me. If you can walk out of Edo this time, please repay you well!"

Tadahiro's two sons died in North Korea. He had already lost hope for the future. At this moment, when he heard Masato Chong's heartfelt words, he felt like he was rejuvenated. He smiled and nodded at Masato, patted his shoulder and said, "It's enough to have you. You should sleep for a while. It's still early. We won't spend the night in Shinagawa tonight, so we will go directly to Edo. I'll go to talk to His Highness in other places. It seems that we haven't seen each other for three or four years."

After saying that, Tadahiro stood up, stretched his long and stretched his waist, walked out of the side hall with his hands and feet, and gently closed the mountain. Tadahiro turned around and suddenly found a blooming platycodon in the corner of the garden. He was both surprised and moved: "The scale of that platycodon in Yushengcheng's home is much larger than that here, and I don't know when I will meet again."
