After the departure of No. 3 and No. 4, Lucius sat alone in the carriage and looked at the flames dancing in the fireplace, as if he saw the situation in nearby Fuso.

Now Fusang is completely in turmoil, I don't know whether it is the instigation of those ghosts and gods of the local civilization, or the promotion of the Tang Empire behind the scenes, a war that is enough to determine the future fate of Fusang has completely begun.

The armies of Oda Nobumitsu and Kinoshita Hideyoshi have been assembled and are advancing in the direction of Edo Castle, and it seems that the two families have the same idea, both want to take Tokugawa Iehiko's Edo Castle as quickly as possible, perhaps in their opinion, as long as they eradicate the power of the Tokugawa family, it is equivalent to winning half of the victory.

This almost desperate way of attacking will give the Tokugawa family a sense of oppression, if Tokugawa Isahiko did not choose to join Lucius, I am afraid that under the attack of the two armies, Tokugawa Isahiko will be difficult to parry.

Thinking of this, Lucius couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Since they knew that Tokugawa Iehiko had already taken refuge in me, why did they still set the primary attack target of Edo Castle?"

Thinking of this, Lucius vaguely felt that things might be a little strange, and began to wonder what the other party's plan was, and he actually wanted to attack Edo Castle directly?

In fact, with Lucius's understanding of the Tokugawa family, even if Tokugawa Iehiko did not take refuge in himself and did not have those things that he supported, with the forces in the hands of Oda Nobumitsu, I am afraid that he may not be able to capture Edo Castle.

Even if Kinoshita Hideyoshi sent troops together, the troops in the hands of the two of them may not be enough to overwhelm the Tokugawa family.

Attacking Edo Castle was not a good idea for the two of them if they could not gain an advantage in terms of troops, but they were now bent on attacking Edo Castle.

"Is there some conspiracy behind this, or are they planning to make a fuss, and they are not actually aiming at Edo Castle?"

Lucius was starting to feel a little lost, and although it was only the beginning of the war, both Oda Nobumitsu and Kinoshita Hideyoshi had to do everything they could to establish an advantage in the opening.

Only to establish superiority in war. Only then will the two of them be able to quickly gain a foothold, and in the next battle for hegemony, they will have enough capital.

After all, for Oda Nobumitsu and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, they both belonged to the forces they had established, they did not receive the appointment of Emperor Fuso, and they did not have any advantage in name.

However, if they were able to gain an advantage in the early stages of the war, they would be able to force the emperor to compromise with them, and as long as they were appointed by the emperor and had a legitimate name, it would naturally be convenient for them to take further action later.

These Lucius had actually expected it. also knew that the two of them would inevitably do their best in the early stage of the war, just to be able to establish enough advantages and hold the weight to negotiate with the Heavenly Desolation.

Attacking Edo Castle was a very wise choice, because Edo Castle was built by the Tokugawa family when the head of Fuso, and it can be said that it is a very well-known city in the whole of Fuso today, and conquering Edo Castle is equivalent to defeating the Tokugawa family, which can further enhance their prestige and give Oda Nobumitsu and Kinoshita Hideyoshi public prestige.

After that, the two of them can use the prestige of the people. The Emperor of Fuso was persecuted, and in the form of popular will, the Emperor was forced to make compromises to them.

At the same time, being able to conquer Edo Castle and defeat the Tokugawa family also proved their strength. It will also be easier for them to recruit soldiers later.

It's just that although there are many advantages in conquering Edo Castle, Oda Nobumitsu and Kinoshita Hideyoshi have not risen long after all, and the troops they have in their hands are actually not many according to Lucius's understanding.

And the Tokugawa family has been in charge of Fuso for many years, and they have held the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes for many years. It has accumulated considerable manpower and material resources.

Even during the Tokugawa Iehiko period, the Tokugawa family's control over various regions was weakening, regardless of the rise of new daimyo in their respective regions. Or those former retainers of the Tokugawa family, in fact, are in a state of their own affairs, and Tokugawa Iehiko seems to be a great shogun who can lead the affairs of the whole country.

However, in fact, his decree could not affect the whole of Fuso, except for the Tokugawa family's domain, only those territories loyal to the Tokugawa iehiko family's retainers would obey Tokugawa Iehiko's orders.

But even in this situation, Tokugawa Isahiko was still able to control the whole country, and there were many small wars within Fuso, but no major war broke out.

Even Tokugawa Iehiko had attacked the emperor before, and most of the daimyo in those places did not show up, and even when they learned that the emperor's whereabouts were unknown, no one dared to question them.

It can also be seen that the prestige accumulated by the Tokugawa family over the years is still there, and it deters those daimyo with heavy troops in various places, and no one dares to meddle in the affairs of the Tokugawa family at will.

Even if such a Tokugawa family declined, Lucius did not think that Oda Nobumitsu and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who had risen in a short period of time, would be able to defeat it, and if the two guys did not join forces, it would probably be very difficult to unilaterally attack Edo Castle.

Lucius couldn't help muttering to himself: "Could it be that the discord between the descendants of the King of Hearts and Pei Yan was deliberately made by them? In fact, they had already joined forces? The two armies attacked separately, just to confuse others? Time Four Elements They had already joined forces, just waiting for an opportunity? Want me to expose my hole cards first?"

But after thinking about it, Lucius felt that it was wrong: "No, if that's really the case, even if the two of them join forces, their strength may not be able to eat Edo Castle, right?"

Indeed, as Lucius said, it was difficult to eat Edo Castle, which was the most crucial place for the Tokugawa family, hitting the manpower and material resources accumulated by the Tokugawa family over the generations.

Even if Lecius hadn't set up a bureau to capture Tokugawa Isahiko before, he wouldn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to conquer Edo Castle, let alone the two forces of Oda Nobumitsu and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who had risen for a few years?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were very strange, but he never grasped the crux of it, and he didn't know where the key point was.

Or he had no way to guess the plot of the descendants of the King of Hearts and Pei Yan behind the scenes, and he didn't know where the plot of the two guys was?

After a long time, Lucius sighed, came to his senses and thought about it, and said: "That's it, take one step at a time, although they have other plans, I also have my backhand, I believe that my arrangements are enough to deal with possible changes, even if it really doesn't work, I can use the last killer weapon." ”

War is so rapidly changing, the game between the two sides often determines the entire war situation, but sometimes the war really starts, and many changes will occur in the middle of the war, leading to deviations in the situation, and it will not develop according to the preconceived plan.

It seems that Lucius has the upper hand in the previous game and has a huge advantage in Fuso, but what happened in the war is uncertain.

Perhaps one of Lucius's fatal mistakes will lead to a deviation in the situation, and the opponent will gain the upper hand, once he gains the upper hand in the war, it is obvious that the opponent will definitely chase after him and will not give Lecius any chance.

Therefore, when thinking, Lucius will be more cautious and try to think of the points before and after before making the final decision.

Since Kyoto Castle is still some distance away from Edo Castle, Lucius used the magic gate of a mechanical carriage to go directly to the shrine outside Edo Castle.

Moreover, after leaving Kyoto Castle, he had traveled some distance to the border, so it would take some time to turn around and head towards Edo Castle at this moment.

Fortunately, the speed of the mechanical carriage was fast, but it would not be delayed for too long, and the third and fourth brought the news to Taiyuan Xuezhai and Tokugawa Ihiko in advance, and Lucius was not worried that the Tokugawa family would not be able to withstand the surprise attack.

However, just as the carriage was about to drive into the territory of Edo Castle, a thought suddenly popped into Lucius's heart, and his whole body broke out in a cold sweat.

He quickly poked his head out of the carriage and said to Scott, who was driving, "Scott, turn around, we're not going to Edo Castle, now turn around and let's go straight to that mountain shrine." ”

Since No. 3 and No. 4 have left, the matter of driving naturally is handed over to Scott, as a mechanical warrior who can follow Lucius's side, Scott feels very honored to be able to drive Lucius, and he has awakened his own consciousness uh, and is evolving in the direction of mechanical demons.

Listening to Lucius's words, Scott felt a little puzzled, because Lucius had only been to the mountain shrine last night, and now he was going to go again?

He couldn't help but ask Lucius in a low voice: "Your Highness, what are we going to the shrine to do at this time? Aren't you going to Edo Castle to discuss things with a few adults?"

Lucius was very resolute and ordered directly: "Don't ask so much, now rush to the mountain shrine as quickly as possible, Edo Castle is not far from the shrine, Edo Castle we can go later." ”

Seeing that Lucius's attitude was so resolute, Scott naturally didn't say anything more, and drove directly to the shrine outside Edo Castle.

Lecius, who was sitting in the car, thought back to what he had just thought of, and couldn't help muttering to himself in some horror: "Probably not, could it be that the descendants of the King of Hearts are really ready to know that the emperor is in that shrine?

Thinking of this, Lucius felt extremely frightened, because he had never thought that the other party would have such an idea, you must know that this plan is not unintelligent.

It can be said that he deceived everyone, even Lucius didn't notice it before, and he almost succeeded him.

You must know that if the descendants of the King of Hearts or Pei Yan and them take Sakura Rinko away, then Lucius will lose an advantage in an instant, and he may even be pushed into a dangerous situation by the other party's backhand. (To be continued......)
