Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

As time went by, Oda Nobutada became more and more anxious. He decided to call together the core members of the family to discuss countermeasures.

In Gifu Castle, the various noble families also took action. They closely followed Nobutada Nobutada's movements, while also considering their own positions and future.

A big storm that concerns the fate of the entire Japan is brewing, and whether Nobutada Nobutada can stand firm in this storm will depend on his final decision.

The decisive battle is about to begin. The Emperor and the Tokugawa family are betting on the fate of the country, and I, Oda Nobutada, am betting on the fate of my family!

The core members of the family all felt that the Tokugawa family was like a hungry tiger and a wolf, and would sooner or later devour the Oda family. It would be better to summon the princess and rebel against the Tokugawa shogunate.

After careful consideration again, Oda Nobutada resolutely decided to respond to the call of the Princess of Spirit Summoning!

Immediately afterwards, he made a prompt decision and quickly ordered his troops to immediately take control of all relevant agencies sent by the Tokugawa shogunate to Gifu Castle.

All the noble families in Gifu were required to express their unconditional support for Princess Ling Zhao. If any noble family dared to get close to the Tokugawa shogunate, they would be forcibly imprisoned without mercy.

If these people choose to resist without knowing the consequences, then the only thing waiting for them is death, and they will be beheaded as a warning to others!

This punishment will serve as a severe warning and deter other people with bad intentions.

At the same time, he decisively ordered the blockade of every key channel connecting Gifu Castle with the outside world to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

This series of swift and decisive actions not only demonstrated Oda Nobutada's courage and decisiveness, but also showed his firm belief in winning this decisive battle.

The Hojo family and the Tokugawa family are relatives and have a close relationship.

The other two super daimyo, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, are no different from the Oda family. They have been passed down to this day thanks to the merits of their ancestors.

However, during the Tokugawa shogunate, these two families and the Oda family gradually declined. If they did not make changes, they would be swallowed up or wiped out by the Tokugawa family sooner or later.

The Takeda and Uesugi families also realized that the time for change had come, and this opportunity lay in Princess Ling Zhao.

Therefore, they chose to support the Heaven and Earth Federation without hesitation. They knew that only by cooperating with the Heaven and Earth Federation could they resist the powerful forces of the Tokugawa family and even achieve their own revival.

So they resolutely threw themselves into this life-and-death struggle.

There were also many small and medium-sized daimyo entrenched in the Tosando, Tokaido, and Hokuriku roads within the areas controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate.

However, they were suppressed by the super daimyo in their respective regions. The super daimyo were the overlords in their respective regions, which made the small and medium daimyo afraid to act rashly.

Therefore, except for the areas directly controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate and part of the Tokaido area controlled by the Hojo family, the entire Japan was filled with calls for a crusade against the Tokugawa shogunate.

For Princess Ling Zhao, the current situation is extremely favorable, but even so, she knows very well that only by winning the decisive battle in Kyoto and completely destroying the main force of the Tokugawa army can she truly end the shogunate rule of Japan that has lasted for more than 300 years.

In this magnificent historical picture, every decision may affect the future direction.

Princess Ling Zhao has now become the light of hope in the hearts of the Japanese people. No matter they are the powerful and influential people from the aristocratic families or the ordinary people in the streets, they are all full of longing and confidence in the war led by Princess Ling Zhao to restore the imperial power and overthrow the rule of the shogunate.

Therefore, faced with such unprecedented challenges, she urgently needs to rely on Wei Xiaobao's extraordinary wisdom, fearless courage and resolute decisiveness to guide this great change that will change the world and allow Japan to be reborn.

All of this will eventually be revealed on the fateful battlefield of Kyoto...

…………

The Hojo family, the only family to reinforce the Tokugawa shogunate, had its base in Zushu, Izu County, Tokaido, which was later part of Shizuoka Prefecture and is located on the Izu Peninsula.

The Hojo family had a powerful navy, which was comparable in size to the Osumi navy and had over a hundred warships.

A few days ago, the Hojo family requisitioned thousands of large merchant ships and fishing boats on the Izu Peninsula. Under the escort of the navy, 200,000 Hojo troops marched into Edo Castle by water, and then set out from Edo to Kyoto.

Fortunately, Wei Xiaobao set off three days later than them. If the ironclad ship had encountered these troop transport ships, the 200,000 soldiers of the Hojo family would have had to stay in the sea to feed the fish.

The next morning after the conquest of Nara City, the sun shone on the earth, and Yang Lin led the elite troops of the Heaven and Earth Alliance out of the gate of Nara City and continued to march towards Kyoto. Their steps were firm and powerful, and their morale was high, as if they were going to put the whole world under their feet.

Nara is only 40 kilometers away from Kyoto. If you set out in the morning, you can reach your destination by the evening.

Along the way, the coalition forces did not encounter any ambush or sneak attack by the Tokugawa army. Instead, many aristocratic families, gentry and ordinary people set up stations along the way to express their welcome. In fact, every county in the Kinai region was under the control of the Tokugawa shogunate. There were no hereditary daimyo here, but instead hereditary officials.

When the news of the decisive battle in Kyoto spread, all officials, big and small, who were related to the Tokugawa shogunate, except for those important military locations in the Kinai region, fled towards Edo.

Today, this vast land has become the actual ruling area of ​​the Bushido sects. There is no doubt that these Bushido sects are loyal to the Princess Lingzhao.

As night fell, Yang Lin finally arrived at the designated location. However, surprisingly, the two northern expedition divisions from Osaka had already arrived in advance. As a result, the two armies successfully met in Oyama Kita-cho, ten kilometers away from Kyoto.

On the eve of the decisive battle, the entire battlefield was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Yang Lin discussed with Miyamoto Musashi and decided to let the troops, who had traveled a long distance, rest for a day to recuperate and gather their strength in preparation for launching a general attack on Kyoto the next day.

In this short distance of ten kilometers, both the enemy and our side sent a large number of scouts to try to find out the other side's troop deployment and tactical arrangements.

Li Yang is a burly man with a full beard. As a platoon leader of the reconnaissance battalion of the Tiandi Army Headquarters, he led his subordinates all the way to the outskirts of Kyoto.

Suddenly, thick smoke rose up in front of us, and at the same time, a creepy cry was heard.

The experienced platoon leader Li immediately realized that a major accident might have occurred ahead, so he waved his whip and urged the horse under him to speed up.
