As soon as the Northeast Alliance arrived in the east of Edo Castle, he received an invitation from Tadaki Ogasawara to go to the Toyotomi Army station in the south of the Castle to participate in the military convention.

Although Tadakiyoshi Ogasawara was just a servant, as the "Rena General Officer" who could mobilize 20,000 troops stationed in the DPRK and the important minister around Hideopo, his status has exceeded that of ordinary local daimyo. After receiving his invitation, Masatori Ida, Yoshinori Satake and Honjo Honjo Honjo Honya did not dare to neglect. After settling down the military, he immediately set off for Oedemaemachi.

On the road, Ida and others witnessed the broken walls burned to the dark in front of the Dashou gate. The strong wind rolled the ashes on the ground into the sky. Some unburned beams and pillars made a "squeaking" sound. When the strong wind passed, the wall collapsed with the bang, and several flames that had not yet been extinguished hint at the hardships here yesterday.

Seeing this scene, everyone sighed, and Satake Yoshinori was even more worried: "How many people should be displaced because of this? The prosperity that Edo has accumulated over the past ten years has been destroyed today."

When Ida Masatozo heard this, he joked: "Kyoko, you and I are both warriors. Although this scene is rare, it is not rare. When you pacified the Dasheng clan and the Thirty-Three South Hall, you heard that many cities were burned down. Did you ever think about the people like this?"

"Muo is guarding you..." Masatori Satake Yoshiro said this to the point of blushing. He looked at Masatori Ida with resentment. He was about to argue with him, but was interrupted by Honjo Honjo Honjo Honcho.

As an important official of the Uesugi clan, Honjo Hanaga led 5,000 troops to join the battle. Although his troops were not as strong as those of Ida and Satake, they were not inferior to those of Ida and Satake. When Ida Masato attacked Fukushima Castle, his retainers suggested that he burn the castle town, but Masato refused this suggestion on the grounds that "regardless of whether Fukushima is owned by me, the people must live and work in peace and contentment."

This incident reached Honjo Masato's ears, which really made him admire him. For a moment, he seemed to see the shadow of Kenshin Uesugi who established his world with "benevolence and righteousness". Therefore, after receiving the order to open the castle, he did not reject the Ida army that had conquered the city before. Instead, he met Masato Ida and smiled and cleared his grudges. He quickly completed the joint assembly and marched to the south according to Hideo's instructions.

Although Honjo Hannaga was close to Masamune Ida, he also knew that the three families were guilty ministers and they must not have conflicts at this time. Therefore, when he saw the two of them quarrel, he hurriedly mediated: "In today's world, no one really wants to kill the people. If you want to blame the stubborn guys in the city, they have to be unaware of the current affairs and fight to the death. However, this has not only harmed themselves, but also those who trust them. The great clerks of the past are like this, and the Tokugawa clerks are the same. What the two high princes say is reasonable?"

In a few words, Honjo Hanaki shifted the focus of the conflict from the offensive side to the defensive side. His explanation not only eased the conflict between Ida and Satake, but also gave the unspeakable Yoshinori Satake, who was a step forward.

"Eemaemae is worthy of being a confidant of Aizu Nayan. Every word he said is so beautiful that he admires me." Masato Ida obviously heard the implication of Honjo Hanagata, and felt that it was unnecessary to have an unhappy relationship with the Satake family for such a thing, so he made a statement first, which was a step back.

Satake Yoshiro was upright and wanted to argue with Masato Ida on this matter to the end, but he was worried that he was not as eloquent as Masato Ida. While he was struggling with how to organize language to fight back, he heard Honjo Hana's words and his anger disappeared a lot. In addition, Masato Ida also knew the times and took the initiative to resolve the tension, Yoshiro Satake had to stop there. After all, there were even bigger problems that needed to be solved than quarrel over this small matter.

"I admire Echigo Ekimaemoto," Satake Yoshiro said respectfully: "The situation is serious. Instead of worrying about the world and sympathizing with others here, it is better to take down Edo Castle as soon as possible and restore the people to a peaceful and pure land."

After saying that, Satake Yoshiro nodded slightly to Masato Ida, and laughed at Masato, and the two of them reconciled. Honjo Masato was very pleased to see this, but he did not expect that he could mediate for a while, but he could not mediate for a lifetime. Many years later, the two families finally met in war.

Under his urging, everyone continued to march westward and arrived at the Toyotomi Army's main formation in Otamaemachi. At this time, Tadashi Kiyomasaki Ogasawara, Asano Nagamasa and others discussed how to act next. The biggest impact on their plan at this time was the secret letter from Hideo that they received earlier.

Facing the Edo Castle map spread on the table, Masamune Ida was confident. He pointed to the Takebashi Gate of Sannomaru and said, "According to my observation this morning, this place is the weakest part of the entire city. The Takebashi Gate connects with a tiger's mouth. There is a side door to the east of this tiger's mouth and the southwest leads to the inside of Sannomaru. As long as our army concentrates its forces to occupy the tiger's mouth, we can drive straight into it. This area is closest to the Sannomaru Go Temple. As long as we can occupy the Imperial Palace, other places are not afraid of convenience."

This tactic was supported by Honjo Honjo Honnaga and Satake Yoshinori, who both expressed their willingness to lead the army to attack Tiger's mouth. But unexpectedly, Tadakiyoshi Ogasawara did not support their proposal immediately.

"Muomo, the attack on Edo Castle may be temporarily put on hold." Tada Tadaki Ogasawara handed Hideo's letter to Masato Ida Masato. After reading the letter, he and Satake both looked disappointed: "Please forgive me and I can't understand. Since the Tokugawa army who fled to Ueno has been trapped in Mirhem Castle, shouldn't the right government be eradicated and let us take Edo Castle and completely conquer Kanto?"

"Conquering Kanto is not destroying Kanto." Tadaki Ogasawara said: "Mihei Castle is easier to capture than Edo Castle, and the inner palace and the important officials of the Tokugawa clan are in Mihem. As long as they can persuade them to surrender, Edo will open the city. On the contrary, if Edo is captured first and the family members in the city are killed and injured, the Tokugawa army in Mihem may want to fight to the death and fight with their backs. At that time, it will probably cause great losses to both sides. Even if the Tokugawa clan is completely eliminated, those Daming who followed the Right Prefecture will be frightened. I think that the Hojo clan was still retained by the Daming family, let alone the inner palace that followed Nobunaga and Taige to survive and die?"

"If the Milou descends, Tokugawa will descend; if the Edo is destroyed, Tokugawa will be broken. Does the right palace mean this?" asked Masatori Ida.

"That's true," Tadaoki Ogasawara nodded: "There are more than 20,000 Tokugawa troops in Mirvana City, and more than 10,000 Edo. Instead of attacking and breaking it, it is better to force it and force it. This is also the original words brought by the right man."

"If so, I have to obey the order." Masatozo Ida responded helplessly, thinking that the last chance to make meritorious deeds would be lost, and he was also very disappointed.
