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

Yamamoto Jusan pondered secretly. He clearly remembered that it was he who sent Sakurako to approach Mao Shiba in order to try to find out some important information.

However, what he never expected was that Sakurako is now together with Mao Shiba, and they seem to have a very close relationship, even calling each other husband and wife.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yamamoto Jusan was shocked and angry. He couldn't understand why Sakurako would betray him and throw herself into the arms of the enemy.

Could it be that she had already been bribed by the other party? Or did something unexpected happen during the mission? A series of questions came to his mind, and Yamamoto Jusan unconsciously fell into deep thought...

Wei Xiaobao looked at Yamamoto Jusan who was staring at Sakurako in confusion, and a smile appeared on his lips. Then he said to Yamamoto Jusan softly: "Yamamoto, since you have chosen to surrender now, there are some things you should know. In fact, Sakurako has already joined our Tiandi Alliance. Not only that, she is now the wife of the Navy Commander! So, I hope you can work together and cooperate closely in the future!"

After hearing these words, Yamamoto Jusan suddenly felt annoyed and helpless - wasn't it the same as giving a beautiful woman away for nothing? It was really a loss of both the lady and the army!

However, facing the current situation and Wei Xiaobao's smiling but dagger-hidden look, he could only nod his head repeatedly and said that he would fully cooperate with future actions.

Not long after, Yingzi led Princess Lingzhao to the bow of the ship, along with Su Quan, Shuang'er, He Tishou and others.

"Your Highness, I, the guilty Edo Navy Admiral Yamamoto Jusan, and my 20,000-plus naval officers and soldiers, unconditionally surrender to you, and are willing to accept all of your commands and dispatches!" Yamamoto Jusan said earnestly, and then respectfully handed the surrender letter he had prepared long ago and the samurai sword that symbolized command power to Princess Lingzhao.

After receiving the surrender letter and the samurai sword, Princess Ling Zhao nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Yamamoto Jusan, you have done a great job. This princess will convey this matter truthfully and let the emperor know your loyalty."

However, when Yamamoto Jusan heard Princess Ling Zhao mention the Emperor, his face instantly became solemn. He took a deep breath and reported to Princess Ling Zhao in a serious tone: "I have an urgent piece of information that I must report to Her Highness the Princess."

“Speak!” Princess Lingzhao was originally a member of the royal family and had the aura of an emperor.

These days, I have been soaking in the water from the Yanjia Well brought by Wei Xiaobao. The dragon energy contained in the well water makes the spiritual summoning more powerful.

Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and there was a sharp light flashing in her beautiful eyes. She stared at Yamamoto Jusan closely. There was an invisible pressure in her eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate a person's soul, and she motioned him to continue speaking.

Yamamoto Jusan felt the sharp gaze of Princess Ling Zhao, but he did not retreat. Instead, he took a deep breath and said calmly: "A week ago, Tokugawa Koyasu led his army to break through Kyoto City and took Emperor Ling Yuan, Emperor Atsushi, the Empress Dowager, and many princes and princesses, a total of about one hundred people, to Edo Castle as hostages..."

"What? Father, mother, and the emperor's brother were actually escorted to Edo!" Princess Lingzhao's face changed drastically after hearing this, and she was extremely shocked. She never thought that Tokugawa Koyasu had forgotten the instructions of his ancestors and was so bold as to openly kidnap the emperor's family and leave Kyoto.

You know, since 1600, in order to consolidate his ruling position, Tokugawa Ieyasu issued a series of decrees prohibiting contact between the emperor and daimyo.

At the same time, he also strictly prohibited the emperor from leaving the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and did not allow daimyo from all over the country to enter Kyoto. This ban lasted for more than 70 years, and no one dared to violate it during this period.

Now, the emperor and his family were forced to leave the Kyoto Imperial Palace and leave Kyoto City. This was simply an unprecedented thing.

Princess Lingzhao realized the seriousness of the situation. If the emperor and others could not be rescued as soon as possible, the entire Japan would probably fall into a huge crisis.

She asked anxiously, "So where are they now?"

"Princess, they were imprisoned in the Tokugawa shogunate's office after arriving at Edo Castle. Five days ago, the brothers Tokugawa Koyasu and Tokugawa Koshin went to Kyoto to command the decisive battle, and have not returned yet. At this moment, the one who holds power in Edo Castle is the Minister of Water Affairs, Oda Masamizu. I hope that the Heaven and Earth Alliance can capture Edo as soon as possible and successfully rescue His Majesty the Emperor."

After saying this, Yamamoto Jusan knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, showing his sincere loyalty.

"Brother Xiaobao, can you speed up the pace of the attack? I can't wait to rescue my father and mother!" Ling Zhao turned around and said to Wei Xiaobao in a tender voice.

"Okay, speed up the attack. Saving my father-in-law and mother-in-law is important!" Wei Xiaobao said to Ling Zhao with a big laugh.

Then, he turned to look at Yamamoto Jusan and ordered in a firm tone: "Yamamoto, you must immediately order all Edo navy ships to return to Yokosuka Port for rest. At the same time, all navy ships must obey orders and are not allowed to leave the port without permission!"

Then, Wei Xiaobao continued to ask thoughtfully: "Has the Izu Navy of the Hojo family surrendered?"

Yamamoto Jusan quickly replied, "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, before I came here, I had already sent envoys to the Izu navy to persuade them to surrender. However, the admiral of the Hojo family's navy is Tokugawa Koyasu's nephew, Hojo Yokoichi. He has a stubborn personality, and it may not be easy to get him to surrender easily."

At this moment, Yamamoto Jusan has already clung to the tree of the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Adhering to the Bushido spirit of "a friend dies rather than a poor man dies", he sincerely hopes that the naval officers and soldiers under his command can witness the destruction of the Izu Navy with their own eyes. In this way, it can once again prove how wise his decision to surrender is.

"Then there's no need to wait, Brother Mao, just give the order to fire!" Wei Xiaobao gave the order decisively.

"Okay, fire!" Mao Shiba could no longer suppress his inner impulse and responded impatiently.

Following this order, all the naval guns began to adjust their positions and aimed their muzzles at the Izu Navy in the east. The gunners quickly and skillfully loaded the shells, preparing to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The loud noises were deafening, and the entire sea surface was shaken by the violent explosions. Yamamoto Jusan stood on the Dragon Ship and witnessed this spectacular scene with his own eyes.

I saw a huge shell whizzing past like a meteor and landing accurately in the middle of the Izu Navy's fleet.
