Sansei Ishida could not determine what was to be accomplished in an unexpected war situation.

If he didn't do what he thought he would do, he wasn't comfortable "intuitively" taking the next action immediately.

When he deals with those things, he does all the recalculations again, and he recalculates the plans again.

That slowness in judgment can be fatal on the battlefield.

Now he has a castle that he has attacked in the past.

He was suddenly informed, as early as two miscalculations swept away, that it was still before the fog cleared, and his head was confused by the mess as if it had been stirred with a stick.

Those two miscalculations were, needless to say, the blowing of a fuselage announcing the beginning of the battle before the fog cleared up, and the fact that Hideaki Oyagawa fell back and began attacking the Otani masses shortly afterwards.

But he is not the kind of foolish general who would continue to give himself up to confusion and refuse to think.

While his attitude was greatly broken by the sudden storm, as if he managed to hold out and raise his face, he decided, in the midst of confusion, to sort it out first of all from the thoughts of Jiayou.

From there, he thought to guide him in what he should do to poke at his will.

One question still comes to mind when you try to circle your thoughts that way.

It's

"Why did Jiayang rush the attack?

It was.

Until now, Jiayang has come down to the stage of this Sekihara so carefully that he can't help but think that he is too cautious. If the Upper Cedar Crusade is a trap to pull out Sansei, it's taken about four months to get here.

Why did you waste so much time that it would be less than this last minute...

"Were you afraid of harmony..."

That was the only verse he could think of.

With Jiayang's information network, it's not surprising that Maori Huiyuan and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are grasping the move toward harmony.

If that messenger came to me, it would be against the will of heaven to continue this battle, and from that point on Jiayang would be branded a great sinner who would rock under heaven.

If I may say so, Jiayang has committed many sins that deserve to be called a great sinner at this point...

Whatever it was, if Jia Hang was afraid of harmony, this "rush to attack" would fall to his heart.

And one fact this shows is that "there is no will for harmony at all before we settle for family well-being".

Of course, I meant to do that from the start as a 30%, but when I find out that the other person is willing to do the same, I shudder once again.

"I can't pull back anymore..."

Confirming that something that was caught somewhere in my mind completely left him and flew far and far away, I once again felt my feet shudder at the immensity of the wall called Jiayou.

"Righteousness is here. I can't lose."

By putting that in his words, he aroused himself.

Now, the speculation he has been able to sort out so far is that Jia Yang wants to settle with Sang and that he too quickly attacked him for fear of harmony.

The next thing to remember is Hideaki Kowakawa's turnaround.

While playing in contact at the center of Sekigahara, this made it impossible to use the gesture that the Kowakawa and Maori armies would attack by wrapping up the main headquarters of Jia Kang.

It is difficult to assume what movement is being made in Mount Nangong behind Jiayang's headquarters. However, it did not seem to me that they would be aggressive enough to join the war, regardless of how the Hiroshi Yoshikawa family and Maori Soo Yuen looked beforehand.

"The left and right wings can no longer be used. Do we have to do something on our own..."

When he squeals like that, one maneuver sprouts up in his head.

But the operation was a dangerous one that could be considered one or eight big bets, and it was difficult for him to choose for whom he originally hated every bet.

But once sprouted, the idea stretches out its twist as it glimpses, and puts Mitsune's heart in disarray and covers it up.

It also seemed as if he had a sword on his throat saying, "You have no choice but to make."

The operation involves abandoning the current interests of the land and launching an assault against Tokugawa headquarters with all the troops.

Gather all your allies at Sakao Mountain deep in the mist, attract enemies, anticipate the time, and reverse drop them all at once.

Concentrating on one point turns it into a breakthrough force and pulls out Jiayou HQ at once...

It was an operation dedicated to attack and momentum, with no thought at all of protecting it.

But he has concerns in the operation.

That could lead to driving all of our people to "death."

Since we now try to fight each general in the land of thought, we also gave him the choice to flee in case.

If we take this operation, it won't come true… which means Mitsune will decide where they die.

The blame came on his shoulders, blunting his decision.

"My lord... what can you do if your lord?

Sansei shifts her gaze from the surface, which is still covered by fog, to the sky.

The sky is already high and the morning sun is dazzling.

He stared at the sky like that thinking of the late Hideyoshi Tai.

Blue sky so that there is no stray whatsoever. The shining sun illuminates the area too bright for him.

The Great Return of China, the Battle of Mount Tianwang, the Battle of Mutsugaye...

When I ran around the battlefield with "brothers" such as Hideyoshi, Kiyoshi Kato and Normal Fukushima, I am still vividly reminded.

"You were obsessed back then..."

Those days when we joked, got mad together, and laughed together...

In the midst of this great, he remembered a certain day with a smile on his mouth.

I was desperate about myself back then, and I never thought about Hideyoshi's position or anything.

But not now.

They are fighting a contemporary opponent of great fame called Jiayang Tokugawa.

I felt like I knew Hideyoshi's struggles for the first time at this time, and I felt him even closer, and I felt the greatness once again.

And at the same time, the fear of making a decision as a general tightens his whole body.

I'm not the only one. I have to make the decision to make the "death" of my people who have followed me.

"My lord... Sakichi is terrified"

The voice leaked with a weak expression that I had never even shown to my late master Hideyoshi.

For the first time in his life, he became honest with his weakness.

And then there was the sound of one "weight" coming off in him.

He was confused at first by his mind, which would be lighter, but for some reason the same joy that Hideyoshi had when he first praised him tickled his heart.

"Let's make it a cuter decision for a guy who's honest with both his man and his stomach. Nobody's gonna think you're cute, even if you're a little more honest with me."

and reminds me of what Hideyoshi told me about the novel.

"Be honest..."

He has killed himself so far and has done everything in his power to tackle the task that has been entrusted to him.

As much as I've made fun of purity and regularity things that are too honest with my emotions, I've made "being honest" evil.

But in the midst of what can be described as this extreme, now for the first time he confronts his feelings "honestly".

And the mumbling he began to ask himself.

"I don't like to lose. I want to win anything. That's all."

… if so, what should be done.

"We just have to get to the last resort."

... many of my people could die.

"Still want to win!! I want to win! I want to win! I want to win!!

When the emotions that I had been holding back so much overflowed once and for all as if I had cut a weir by being honest with him, it became a scream and poured out of his mouth.

There's only one thing there.

Only desire for victory.

He finally consolidated his resolve by being honest.

I'm perfectly sorry to keep adding my fingers and waiting for defeat.

Some sacrifice may be made. But even more than that, I want to give Jia Hang a bubble. Otherwise, you can't die.

He was determined to carry out that operation, which was tangled in his heart.

It is his good habit to move quickly into action if his belly is decided.

Quickly, when he called three of his preachers, he honestly revealed his emotions now and told the preacher to do the march promptly, as he said.

The chief commander, Governor Konishi, Hideyoshi Uchita and the three men near the island, instructed them to move their troops to a certain location.

With his thoughts earlier, of course.

He himself will soon rush in that direction as he straddles the horse to the position of another general who plays an important role in this operation.

"Before the fog clears, it's about to be a battle! Guys, please!

And he hastened to the place of purpose, as he prayed.

He has no idea that his determination and his actions will greatly distract the mainstream of the battle of Sekigahara from historical facts.

The fog clears in an hour. Sansei Ishida's big hibernation has finally begun.
