~.&1t;>-~Chapter 368 Reinforcements

Seeing Liu Yu sitting in the center of the tea shed, without the introduction of Ishikawa Goemon, Saito Rizo and Akechi Sakumahashi understood his identity, and immediately stepped forward to pay homage: "Saito Toshizo (Achichi Zumaqiao) See the lord (adult)!" ”

There is no doubt that it was Saito Rizo who called Liu Yu "the lord", although it was the first time he met Liu Yu, but Ishikawa Goemon had already told him many of Liu Yu's deeds, and he naturally admired it in his heart. Moreover, Ishikawa Goemon had already stated on behalf of the wise family that he wanted to join Liu Yu's command, and Saito Rizo, as a "man of loyalty", naturally had the consciousness of Liu Yu's retainers. Therefore, when visiting Liu Yu, although his expression was not necessarily very close, he was absolutely respectful.

In contrast, the demeanor of Wise Zuomaqiao is somewhat evocative. Say respectful, there is; It's just that there is some scrutiny, some indifference, and some vigilance. Obviously, the former elder of the wise family who was invited by Saito Rizo still had some objections to Liu Yu's behavior of accepting the power of the wise family.

didn't care about the attitude of the wise Zuo Maqiao, Liu Yu picked up Saito Rizo, and said with a smile: "Lizaburo, I've admired the name for a long time, hurry up." ”

Liu Yu smiled and patted the shoulder of the famous Dongying warrior, nodded at the wise Zuomaqiao, and continued: "Li Saburo, quickly take the brothers to the back and rest, all the way to the hurry, compared to the brothers, I am also tired......

The more than fifty elite warriors of the banner level all knelt down towards Liu Yu at this moment, they didn't shout, they didn't cheer, they just rejoiced sincerely! Although it was the first time they had met Liu Yu, as samurai under Saito Rizo, they also learned some information about Liu Yu through the same guò Ishikawa Goemon, and what they saw and heard along the way made them respect Liu Yu, the "lord" they had never met.

You must know that during this period of time, Liu Yu's actions in Cheongju City and Jitou Mountain have spread all over the world, and he is the first person who dared to "break ground on the head of Tai Sui" after Oda Nobunaga unified the "world", and he is also a successful "groundbreaking" figure.

It can be said that Liu Yu now has a very prosperous reputation in the "world", although Oda Nobunaga's side claims that he has "subjugated", but these wise flag warriors know that Liu Yu not only got a good job, but also formulated a big plan to attack Sumamata Castle and directly argue with Oda Nobunaga.

For these Qiben samurai who uphold righteousness and advocate the spirit of bushido, a "lord" like Liu Yu is definitely worthy of their admiration and worship, even if they have never seen it before, it will not prevent them from having the idea of wholehearted allegiance because of all kinds of "rumors"!

For Liu Yu's first order, Saito Rizo did not hesitate to carry it out immediately, he turned outside, and conveyed Liu Yu's command in a low voice, so those flag warriors quietly and quickly each pulled their horses around the back of the tea gate! Behind the tea shed, there is a sparse tree, the place is extremely wide, enough to accommodate hundreds of people and horses without crowding, plus there are trees on all sides, it is an ideal place to rest temporarily.

Liu Yu, Ishikawa Goemon, Saito Toshizo, and Akechi Saomahashi sat at the table, and the shopkeeper with a confused and cowering look on his face poured tea for Saito Toshizo and Akechi Saomahashi before quietly retreating to the room.

Looking at Saito Rizo, Liu Yu asked in a low voice, "Rizaburo, have you ever been injured?" ”

As soon as Saito Toshizo heard this, he couldn't help but fill his chest with anger, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's all a good thing done by that dog ~ wild seed by Tokugawa Ieyasu!" My lord, my subordinates fought with their brothers that night three times as strong as our own, and seven or eight of them besieged one of their subordinates alone, and although five of them were slaughtered alive by their subordinates, their own subordinates themselves were wounded in thirteen places, large and small. Later, his subordinates saw that the situation was not right, so they had to rush out of the siege with a group of close men, and in that battle, only about 50 brothers of more than 200 subordinates escaped with their subordinates......"

Liu Yu said calmly: "Li Saburo, don't worry, we will ask Tokugawa Ieyasu for this blood debt back!" ”

Saito Toshizo nodded vigorously and said, "Lord, my subordinates believe in you......"

Liu Yu has been talking to Saito Toshizo all the time, secretly using this communication to use charm to deepen his loyalty, but he does not pay too much attention to the wise Zuomaqiao.

Although Liu Yu's charm technique is clever, it needs an "introduction". For example, Ishikawa Goemon's "gratitude", Uesugi Chian's "love and hate", Kato Yoshiaki's "fear", and Saito Toshizo's "admiration".

However, Wise Zuomaqiao is different, he is wary and alienated from Liu Yu's perception, these two feelings will make the charm technique twice as effective, therefore, Liu Yu did not have the thankless task of "recruiting" the wise Zuomaqiao at this stage, but chose Saito Rizo, a retainer who is more suitable for the charm technique.

Liu Yu's undisguised disregard made Wise Zuo Maqiao's eyes widen, if it weren't for the fact that his fugitive career in the past few years had made him restrain his temper, I'm afraid he would have done it to Liu Yu regardless of it.

Although Ishikawa Goemon and Akechi Samahashi are related and have a good relationship, in his mind, it is more important to be the lord of his family. Wise Zuo Maqiao has long seen Liu Yu's alienation, but it is not good to do it directly. Now that he has seen Liu Yu's style, he naturally follows the same path, and he doesn't care about the wise Zuo Maqiao, and only asks Saito Toshizo: "I asked Hideji Hatano to pick you up, what about his people?" ”

Saito Rizo said with a smile: "We received a notice on the way that Mizoo Shigerao, Tsumiki Hirotada, and Tsumiki Hirotada are coming here with the three hundred banners of the samurai under their command, and Hideji Hatano has gone over to pick them up......"

After looking happy, Ishikawa Goemon frowned slightly and said, "Can they get to Mikawa Town today?" ”

"No problem." Saito Toshizo said: "Tsugumi Hirotada, they are not far from here, and if there is Hideji Hatano leading the way, they can definitely get there before dark......"

Taking a deep breath, Ishikawa Goemon said slowly, "Is there any news from Nankofang Tianhai and Akechi Tamako's master and apprentice?" ”

Saito Toshizo was stunned, and said heavily: "No, the brother sent to find Tamakihime has not returned......"

After a moment of silence, Ishikawa Goemon asked again, "Has my master ever sent someone?" ”

Saito Rizo looked at Ishikawa Goemon a little confused and said, "You mean the Iga faction?" I didn't see anyone coming......"

Ishikawa Goemon said hurriedly: "Has the person sent to deliver the letter returned?" ”

The wise Zuomaqiao on the side seemed to finally can't bear such indifference, and hurriedly said: "I didn't come back, Goemon, you don't have to worry, I think something must have delayed them." ”

Liu Yu, who had been silently running the charm technique at Saito Rizo, smiled after the completion of the great work, and also spoke: "Don't be angry, Goemon, there may really be some accident that has restrained them." Besides, we don't necessarily need the help of the three wives......"

Wise Zuomaqiao glanced at Liu Yu and suddenly asked, "I heard that my father-in-law's close guard chief Akechi Mitsutada has taken refuge in Toyotomi Hideyoshi?" ”

Nodding, Saito Toshizo said angrily: "That disloyal and unrighteous bastard simply lost the face of the wise family, and it is a shame that the wise lord still took such a fancy to him back then, and gave him the surname of 'wise'......"

Ishikawa Goemon shook his head and said: "Akechi Mitsutada's past expression can be called 'loyalty', I always have doubts about his betrayal of his father-in-law, I have sent someone to contact quietly before, hoping that he can abandon the darkness and turn to the light......"

Smiling indifferently, Liu Yu asked before Wise Zuomaqiao spoke: "Goemon, is there any response from the people sent to summon Wise Guangzhong?" ”

Ishikawa Goemon hurriedly bowed down: "Return to the lord, I haven't come back yet." ”

Liu Yu said coldly: "No matter whether Zhizhi Guangzhong is afraid of death, or if he has other hardships...... I hope he can seize this opportunity and don't make mistakes again and again, and go to a dead end! ”

Wise Zuo Maqiao's heart jumped inexplicably, glanced at Liu Yu, frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

Ishikawa Goemon seemed to have a lot of confidence in Akechi Mitsutada's personality, and said with a smile: "Akechi Mitsutada is a smart man, lord, I don't think he will be so confused......"

Saito Rizo on the side scolded angrily: "Wise Mitsuloya, this bastard boy, if he can run back this time, I have to teach him a good lesson, and let him know not to be confused next time!" ”

Ishikawa Goemon took a sip of tea from his teacup, as if he deliberately diverted the topic: "My lord, do you think that the centaur 6 on our side will continue to move towards 'Sumamata Castle', will Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Bee Suka Party Widely Spread Scout Eyeliner be perceived?" ”

Liu Yu pondered for a while, and said: "This is difficult to judge, although there are many scouts of the Beesuka Party, it is difficult to take care of every point of the line on the vast ground, maybe we are lucky and not be noticed by the other party, but it may not be noticed by them early on...... However, this is not an obstacle for us, our actions are about to become clear, and even if they see our intentions and want to ask Oda Nobunaga for help again, it is too late, we are ready to shoot! ”

Wise Zuomaqiao said softly: "All the way, my lord, we are all very vigilant and careful, and we are extremely cautious in our march, and it seems that we will not be noticed by the miscellaneous members of the Beesuka Party......"

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Don't fight too satisfactorily, it's better to think a little more, the group of people in the Bee Suga Party will not all eat idle meals!" ”

Toshizo Saito picked up and said, "Even if they see where we are, what does it matter?" Just like you said, my lord, we are about to kill in Sumamata Castle, and even if the other party notices our movements in advance, they can only sit and wait for death! ”

For Liu Yu, as long as Oda Nobunaga's side did not interfere, then he was sure that he would eat Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Sumamata Castle at a certain price. Of course, this "certain price" is not strictly speaking to be paid by him, but by those "righteous soldiers" who were invited by wise people to help with their fists, and there are also characters like Wise Zuomaqiao who did not really take refuge!

In Liu Yu's jokes, on the post road outside, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, the sound of hooves was dense and fast, like a string of muffled thunder, approaching this side very quickly.

Ishikawa Goemon smiled, "My lord, it seems that our brigade has arrived." ”

Liu Yu nodded and said with a smile: "There are really a lot of people......

Saito Risan bared his teeth and said, "There are more than 300 people, my lord, shall I go and meet them?" ”

Liu Yu nodded and said; "Remember, except for the leader who came in, the rest of the horses still went to rest in the sparse forest behind!"

Saito Rizo agreed, and hurriedly ran out, looking at his sturdy back like a bull, Ishikawa Goemon smiled helplessly: "Rizaburo's temper is impatient, I don't know when it will be changed, my lord, look at his rough hands and feet, reckless look......"

Wise Zuo Maqiao probably recognized the shape clearly, and planned to take the initiative to integrate into Liu Yu's group, and also echoed and smiled: "It's been much better in recent years, when he was the elder of the wise family, Li Saburo's temper was called irritable, if he was really angry, even the lord's castle tower would be demolished......"

Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Although his temper is not good, I can see that Li Saburo is a good man with great affection and sex......"

Ishikawa Goemon nodded and said, "He is also a good brother who can trust his life." ”

As they spoke, there were already bursts of neighing and neighing outside the tea shed, and occasionally two clear and majestic shouts sounded, so a moment later, under the guidance of Saito Toshizo, a group of four people had walked quickly towards the tea shed.

In addition to Saito Toshizo, one of the three is Hideji Hatano, and the other two, the short and fat half-hundred old man is the strategist Mizoo Shigerao, whom Akechi Mitsuhide relies on the most, and the emaciated old man is Akechi Mitsuhide's father's wife, Ki Hirotada!

The four of them entered the tea shed, Liu Yu had already stood up to greet him, Mizuo Shigerao, and his wife Hirotada were also the former elders of the wise family personally invited by Ishikawa Goemon, but these two people were not as upright as Saito Rizo, and they would never absolutely support him because Ishikawa Goemon had a thousand birds incense burner in his hand, and naturally they were not "loyal" to Liu Yu.

Although Mizuo Shigeru and his wife Mu Guangzhong also admired Liu Yu's actions, they would not see it as a "worship to the Lord". It can be seen that although these two people are not as double-minded as Wise Zuo Maqiao, they also have reservations, obviously planning to investigate Liu Yu and then decide whether to take refuge in him.

Although in his heart, he had already positioned Mizoo Shigeru and his wife Mu Guangzhong as one of the "certain price", but Liu Yu smiled kindly on the surface: "Among the old ministers of the wise family, only the two of you are the most respected and have the highest strength, and with the help of the two of you, the plan to attack Momata City will definitely be implemented smoothly!" ”

Mizuo Shigeru and his wife Mu Guangzhong glanced at each other, bowed and saluted: "Lord Yu has won the award, we dare not be..."

Liu Yu beckoned them to sit down first, and said: "Mizoo Shigerao, wife Mu Guangzhong, your brave and loyal liver, a sincere heart, Goemon has told me in detail, you are all old courtiers of the wise family, I don't say those lies, I know that you may not be willing to join my command, but you should do your best to avenge the wise Mitsuhide!" ”

Mizoo Shigeru said in a deep voice: "Lord Yu, it's not that we don't want to follow you, we just hope to wait until we take revenge on the Lord before discussing this issue!" The lord has been so kind to us that if he turns to someone else before he has avenged his great vengeance, he will not even have the lowest virtue as a samurai......"

His wife, Mu Guangzhong, also nodded and said, "Even if we crush the bones and scatter ashes, Ling Chi will not want to shake our will for revenge." Until we have killed the enemies of the lord, we will never be able to defeat others! ”

Mizoo Shigerao's words and his wife Hirotashi made Akechi Zuomaqiao happy, but when he looked at it secretly, he was quite disappointed. Because Ishikawa Goemon looked indifferent, he was obviously not touched. And although Saito Rizo's face was a little embarrassed, the look in his eyes was very firm, and it was obvious that his loyalty was not shaken.

This is not surprising either. Ishikawa Goemon has been in contact with Liu Yu for a long time, and he has been the most "poisoned" by the charm technique, no matter what Mizoo Shigerao's and his wife Mu Hirotada say, he can't have two hearts. Even, even if Akechi Mitsuhide is resurrected, it is impossible to shake Ishikawa Goemon's loyalty to Liu Yu.

And Saito Rito's three-handed charm technique has not been poisonous for a long time, although the "loyalty" remains the same, but he will also feel guilty about Akechi Mitsuhide because of some of his wife Hirotada's words. If two hours ago, Saito Rizo had heard his wife Hirotada's words, I am afraid that he would not have been so easily loyal to Liu Yu.

For this situation, Liu Yu was unhappy in his heart, but his face clenched his fists heavily, his face was bright, and his face was solemn: "Two high righteousness, Liu Yu admires." Let's get down to business. I think, the various changes in the past month or so have been unexpected, among which the insider, Goemon has also told the two of them in detail, right? ”

Mizuo Shigeru nodded to his wife Mu Guangzhong and said, "I said it." ”

Liu Yu said calmly: "Then Oda Nobunaga's side has no time to take care of the situation because of the continuous uprisings in various places, you must have seen it clearly a long time ago?" ”

"Like." Mizoo Shigeru smiled: "It is really for this reason that we were moved by Ishikawa Goemon's words and came with all our strength to participate in this battle against Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Minamata Castle!" ”

Tsumiki Hirotashi also said eagerly: "This opportunity is really good!" Yu-sama's several battles have consumed a lot of the strength of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga, and now the uprisings in various places have restrained most of Oda Nobunaga's troops, although if we directly attack Kiyoshu City, we still have no strength, but if we attack Sumamata Castle, we also have a few chances of winning! ”

"It's not a 'few odds', it's an absolute odds!" Ishikawa Goemon smiled, "Do you know that it was not just our wise family who participated in the attack on Sumamata Castle and Toyotomi Hideyoshi......
