I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

"Sir... Sir, please spare my life... I, I am the son of Maeda Toshiie. Maeda Toshinaga... You, you held me in your arms when I was a child. Please... please spare my life..."

"General, I... I am the son of Kinoshita Hidenaga, Kinoshita..."

They are all the children of our old cadres, and basically all of them have defected.

Beidou Xinwei was deeply aware of a problem: these people took betrayal as their livelihood. The people in Osaka Castle were basically all his own direct descendants. Even illegitimate children were not worthy of trust! How much more so these ministers?

He chopped off all the children of veteran cadres! He could put his own "son" aside for now, but if all else fails, he should learn from Comrade Yongzheng and chop off his own son!

There is one person who is an exception.

"If I had been born thirty years earlier, I would have fought with Nobuyuki for the world! Now it seems that I am eighty percent victorious!" The one-eyed fat dragon Date Masamune once boasted this.

When he saw Beidou Xinwei’s flag from afar, he ran away immediately.

Finally, the raiding party arrived at Tokugawa Ieyasu's camp. Without putting up a fierce resistance... or rather, fierce resistance was of little use, Beidou Xinwei discovered that his promises were empty.

But it doesn’t matter. With the mini-map of the Total War system open, you won’t have to worry about not finding the direction in which the enemy general will escape.

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

The Beidou family's cavalry was getting closer and closer. He had experienced this feeling countless times before.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was a 72-year-old man, yet despite his age, he displayed incredible perseverance. The whip had barely left a trace, and the white horse beneath him neighed and foamed at the mouth, having already run a full four kilometers.

It's a good record for Japanese horses.

However, the sound of the pursuers was getting closer and closer.

"Hokuto...Hokuto Nobuo is still the same as before! I don't know why, but he seems to be able to predict where everyone on the battlefield is!" Tokugawa Ieyasu lay on the horse's back, looking back in horror.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't look. When he turned around, he heard the sound of pursuers approaching.

"Tokugawa Ieyasu, dismount and accept death!"

The person who came was only one man and one horse.

Just one man and one horse, yet he's more powerful than a thousand! Tokugawa Ieyasu had seen this man before—a giant in a golden helmet and armor, riding a black warhorse and a golden vest. His voice remained as handsome as his appearance—ah, like a ghost! His appearance hadn't changed in decades! Even in his death, he remained as young as he is now.

As expected! Beidou Xinwei is a ghost!

Such scenes were already rare. In Hokuto Nobuyuki's later years, most of the battles he led involved tens of thousands of troops, such as the conquest of Gaodong with 150,000 troops and the conquest of Kyushu with 120,000. He didn't have many opportunities to personally participate in the battles—but Tokugawa Ieyasu was fortunate enough to witness military maneuvers and deployments on a few occasions.

If one were to understand later science fiction literature, the old turtle would have only one evaluation: Little Primarch.

The orders flowed like a stream, meticulously detailed down to every detail. Losing to such a person was definitely not unfair, so the old turtle remained very submissive while Beidou Xinwei was alive—in this if-line that forced the Osaka Summer War closer.

"what!--"

Suddenly, the horse stumbled.

Tokugawa Ieyasu fled with only a small group of retainers, and there were only a few people around him.

The old man was over seventy years old and fell off a horse that was moving at high speed. He just rolled a few times, cried out in pain a few times, and stood up again.

"My Lord! My Lord!——"

Several close retainers of the Tokugawa family and the protective samurai quickly turned their horses around - to be honest, they really didn't want to come back, but if they ran away, they would be doomed.

So, as a last resort, several people turned their horses around and dismounted.

He happened to meet Beidou Xinwei, who was tightening the reins and seemed to be watching a show.

"General..." Tokugawa Ieyasu's tongue was shortened.

"Oh, old turtle." Beidou Xinwei smiled and patted the horse's head. The horse understood and stood still. After Beidou Xinwei dismounted, the horse looked at the group of people in front of it warily. It followed Beidou Xinwei closely, as if afraid that the other side would run away.

Ah, I'm back! The feeling is back! — The beast that the beast rides is just as beastly and evil! This horse, this horse! — This horse that just can't die! A spirit horse! Every time it looks at me, it's like looking at garbage, a horse that's too smart to be a horse!

Although there were more than a dozen people around Tokugawa Ieyasu, they could not give him any sense of security.

"Prepare to die! The warriors of Mikawa are never afraid of the trash of the Beidou family!"

Suddenly, five or six young Tokugawa hatamoto warriors shouted. A young samurai who could serve as a hatamoto under Tokugawa Ieyasu was undoubtedly both capable and well-known. Raised on the daily refrain of "Mikawa samurai never fear the Hokuto family," it was only natural that the sight of Hokuto Nobuyoshi was like that of a fraud. Young people, in general, were clueless, so several of them, glaring at him with the clear, yet foolish, eyes of college students, charged at him.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

A seasoned warrior is no ragtag warrior. A soldier who can form a battle formation is no longer the villain in a kung fu film who can only defeat enemies one by one.

Several warriors formed a formation and rushed from all directions, but were all cut in half by Beidou Xinwei's sword.

"Sword... Sword Qi!——" Seeing Beidou Xinwei's "New Year's Greeting Sword Technique" reappear in the world, Tokugawa Ieyasu's tongue shortened again: "Really... It really is you, big, big..."

"It's no use calling me 'Big Dad', but it's really me, absolutely genuine."

Beidou Xinwei's handsome face revealed a warm smile. Looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had fallen to the ground before him, he said with a smile, "Old turtle, I didn't expect you to be so resilient. Actually, I don't even care. Why do you insist on making the Beidou family extinct? It's so difficult..."

Chapter 218: Although the turtle is long-lived, it will eventually die.

The entire battlefield is now very interesting. The Osaka Castle, which had originally lost its vitality, has become full of morale, but the Tokugawa family's front line is in a situation that is even more terrifying than "our army has been defeated."

"Hahaha! — General! The General will not die after all! Long live the General! — Long live!"

Some fans are easily obsessed, especially the brainless fans.

Chosokabe Morichika, a prominent figure in Shikoku, initially enjoyed a successful career. At the Battle of Sekigahara, he sided with the Western Army, failing to surrender promptly to Tokugawa Ieyasu's Eastern Army and failing to contribute effectively, resulting in the confiscation of all his territory. Fifteen years later, in the summer of 1615, he was invited to enter Osaka Castle. With the dream of restoring his country, he engaged Tokugawa Ieyasu in a decisive battle to the death.

"It's over, everything is over... The dream of restoring the country has ended completely like a pipe dream... Everyone, go your separate ways." This is what he said to his men about half an hour ago, almost like a defeatist strategist.

"Hahaha, Lord Xin Wei is still alive! Kill all those traitors!!!" This was his mental state about half an hour later.

There are many people like him around Osaka Castle, most of whom are frustrated.

The Tokugawa coalition forces fell into panic, and then they saw that Beidou Xinwei had spared all those who "called him father" - almost all those who usually boasted that Beidou Xinwei had an affair with their mother were still alive.

Therefore, people like Katagiri Katsumoto, Date Masamune, and Asano Naganori frantically tried to establish kinship with the people of the nearby "Hokuto Clan"! The battlefield instantly turned into a family reunion meeting, and the originally arrogant side also brought various gifts to the defending side to "visit" their "old friends."

Forget it. With Beidou Xinwei's personality—he'd slap a dog, cut an earthworm in half vertically, kick a tree three times, and shake an egg in the supermarket until the yolk falls apart—it's probably going to be hard for him to survive.

The painting cuts to the meeting between Hokuto Nobuyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"General, please allow me to report." On the side, Honda Masazumi, one of the 24 filial sons of Japan, knelt in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

I didn't dare to resist at all, but I knelt very smoothly.

The reason Honda Masanobu is considered one of Japan's 24 Filial Piety is because Tokugawa Hidetada was late for the Battle of Sekigahara. Honda Masamizumi pleaded for Tokugawa Hidetada, saying, "The reason for your lateness is all the fault of your father, Honda Masanobu, the military supervisor! Please execute this guilty father to set the record straight!"

Filial piety! Filial piety is so great!

"Oh?" Beidou Xinwei rolled off his horse.

The 1.85-meter-tall handsome boy, wearing armor and armor, looked as imposing as two meters tall as he squatted in front of the 1.50-meter-tall man in front of him.

It was like a mountain pressing down.

"Who the hell are you?" Beidou Xinwei suddenly smiled, like a cat that had caught its prey. He wasn't in a hurry to kill the other party, but instead wanted to play with it. "What kind of bastard dogs are you, Tokugawa family? Before talking to people, at least introduce yourself first, right?"

"......!!" I've been in the martial arts world for so many years, and even around Tokugawa Ieyasu, I've never been discriminated against like this? I...

"Hayi... My name is Honda Masatsumi, son of Honda Masanobu. Decades ago, I met the Shogun..."

"Oh, the Honda family of the Tokugawa clan..." Beidou Xinwei frowned as if reminiscing, squatting in front of the other party and giving a devilish smile: "What kind of a family is the Honda family? The turtles in the moat of Osaka Castle are more precious than a passerby like you."

"!!!"

The others present trembled, but Honda Masazumi, worthy of being the ruthless man who once said, "Please kill my sinful father," gritted his teeth and held on. He said, "My lord, Lord Ieyasu..."

"Hmm?" Beidou Xinwei asked back with a slight snort.

"I, my lord Tokugawa Ieyasu..." Honda Masazumi continued tremblingly, "What I have done is in accordance with the loyalty of a samurai! In the chaotic Warring States period, we took what was won and kept what was won. The Shogun's family was young, so I had no choice but to entrust them to the five great men and the five magistrates. They were seeking wealth and honor, and they made our lord act unkindly and unjustly, forcing him to a high position against his will. I had no choice but to compete with the Shogun's family, but I have never killed anyone in the Shogun's family. Although I control two-thirds of the world, I still serve the Shogun's family with courtesy. It can also be considered..."

"Do you believe such words?" Beidou Xinwei suddenly smiled and patted the other person's face with his hand.

The other party didn't dare to fight back and was just slapped humiliatingly.

"We're all adults, how dare you say such things? I'll tell you what he'll do to the owner of Osaka Castle if I'm gone—Tokugawa Ieyasu has been treacherous for a long time. From the day he betrayed his father-in-law, Imagawa Yoshimoto, I've never trusted him. I don't trust any surrenderers; they're worse than prostitutes. After enjoying the benefits of selling their bodies, they no longer have any sense of shame.

Next, if I hadn't shown up, he would have burned down Osaka Castle. Then he would have killed every last vestige of the Hokuto family, even if they were only a few years old. He would have demolished my 'temple', seized my 'seat of god', deleted my history books, and usurped my position as general. Then he would have told the world about my faults - ah, I'm used to this. This guy has no bottom line. If he had conquered the country, I wouldn't have been a big deal. If you had the guts, you could have killed Imagawa Yoshimoto, if you had the guts, you could have conquered the world, if you had the guts, you could have jumped around while I was still alive? - But you didn't dare, you're just a toad in the gutter."

Beidou Xinwei said, patting Honda Masazumi's face and saying, "You guys have put in a lot of effort, right? I don't want to bother with you. I'll give you some respect before I kill this old turtle. Hurry up, don't die behind your master. I'll give you ten seconds to cry! Crying also counts! - 10, 9, 8..."

"My Lord, I will go first." Honda Masazumi was stunned for a moment, then saluted Tokugawa Ieyasu with tears in his eyes. He quickly pulled out his shin blade—click, swish—and in ten seconds, he had completed seppuku.

"Well, that's a neat job." Beidou Xinwei nodded and wiped the other person's neck.

"The only one left is you, old turtle." Beidou Xinwei walked up to Tokugawa Ieyasu with a smile.

"!!! Lord Xinwei! Lord Xinwei! - This is meaningless! I, I took over the world because of the trend of the times. It wasn't my own wish, it was really others who were greedy for wealth and fame who pushed me to this point! How dare I break your throne? Take your family name! - I, I... If you come back, won't it plunge the world into a century of chaos again! You, you are kind-hearted, why would you have the heart to..."

"? What do you think we are? Samurai, are you putting yourself in moral bondage with me now? Old turtle, your abilities have declined." Beidou Xinwei suddenly chuckled and said, "Besides, it won't take a hundred years. Can I bear it? Of course I can. Don't worry, you Tokugawa family... Oh, and the Matsudaira family. I will send them all down to keep you company. Not a single one will be left. I will send all the dogs and cats in the house down to you, not a single hair will be left. I will even dig your ancestral grave for you——"

"Believe in the Lord!—Believe in the Lord!—No, no..."

Begging and peeing, Tokugawa Ieyasu backed away.

A moment later, the roar of the whole day resounded throughout the battlefield.

Tips for Total War System:

"Tokugawa Ieyasu! I, Hokuto Nobuyuki, took him away!"

The Tokugawa coalition forces no longer had any reason to persist.

In an instant, everything collapsed and disappeared.

According to the script of this IF line, the chaotic world can last for a few more years. If Beidou Xinwei turns around and leaves now, the chaos can even last for hundreds of years.

Chapter 219: Osaka Summer Battle, MVP Result Screen

Beidou Xinwei always felt that even if he was not gentle and easy-going, at least he was not a cruel person.

He killed Tokugawa Ieyasu in this IF world, but it seems his mission isn't over yet—he thought killing Tokugawa Ieyasu would be the end of his mission. A person in this unknown world, a journey that he thought would soon end, now doesn't end just because he reached the destination. Could it be... could it be... could it be... could it be that he is...

Kill every living thing in the Tokugawa clan before returning? Oh, that's easy. Killing every opponent here before returning might be a bit more difficult. But that's okay, this is supposed to be an IF storyline where they've already ruled Japan, and it seems to be sticking with the Toyotomi clan's forced worldview—eazy!

"General..."

"General..."

Tokugawa Ieyasu was killed, and Tokugawa Hidetada fled to Edo. Hokuto Nobuyoshi was too lazy to pursue him and directly led his troops back to his loyal Osaka Castle.

The defenders in Osaka Castle, of course, welcomed the arrival of Beidou Xinwei with pride as the "only loyal member of the Beidou family."

As for others... For example, the Tokugawa coalition...

It really took a lot of begging and pleading, using connections and backdoors to get a VIP ticket.

Some people have fled, such as the Shimazu clan. They have already fled frantically to Kyushu Island, preparing to resist the Beidou Xinwei army once again - although they lost badly last time, maybe they won't lose this time...

Some people figured something out halfway through their escape and hurried back to apologize - for example, they figured out that their godmother (aunt) and Beidou Xinwei were definitely having an affair and would not kill their Mr. Uesugi Kagekatsu.

Some of them didn't leave at all, they just knelt on the ground and called me father, for example, Mr. Ii Naomasa - my godmother (aunt) was having an affair with Kitado Nobuo, what am I afraid of!

There are also some shameless people who are determined to have no connection with the Hokuto family at all, such as Mr. Date Masamune.

Just like that, Osaka Castle was transformed in a single day. Like Xiang Yu atop a giant deer, Hokuto Nobuo single-handedly led 5,000 Martian infantry and cavalry to charge the enemy lines.

When Hokuto Nobuyoshi entered Osaka Castle, a group of daimyo knelt at the gates. These once-powerful local tyrants seemed to have become docile lambs, refusing to rise from their knees. Occasionally, someone would glance up and see Hokuto Nobuyoshi—the legendary figure.

As expected, he had an extraordinary obsession with heads! During this battle, the heads of the enemies he beheaded were hung in front of his horse, stuck behind his horse, and he even had a few tucked around his waist.

The golden armor was covered with dark red blood stains, and there was even a strange red color surging on the handsome face.

How horrible and evil!

"Come with me into the city. It seems I have a lot to say to you." Beidou Xinwei said this lightly when passing by the city gate.

"Yes..." Everyone looked up and followed him into the city dejectedly.

Hokuto Nobuo entered Osaka Castle, and he was actually quite puzzled by the fact that this IF storyline was so cosplaying the Toyotomi clan. So who was the commander of the castle?

Historically, "Chacha," or "Yodo-dono," played an indelible role in the downfall of the Toyotomi clan. Amidst interstate political wrestling and fierce competition, she maintained a womanly spirit. While this might seem like shifting the blame onto women, the net effect is that the female protagonist enters a male world—and is annihilated by its cruel rules.

But Chacha is the daughter of Aichi and Asai Nagamasa. Is this also the case in this historical route?

And the fact that I have so many sons who aren't part of the official system proves I'm quite functional. So why did I end up being an orphan and a widow, unlike monkeys who can't have children? Isn't that a bit forced?

"Your Highness! I knew it, I knew it, you would never abandon us..."

Coming towards me.

It's a woman I don't know!

He looks to be around thirty years old.
