Imagawa Yoshimoto was furious and ordered troops, how could the old lady Shouguini watch her son angry and raise troops? She hurriedly said, "Yiyuan Palace, my son, where is your former calmness?"

Are you going to send troops in such a situation of extreme anger? There is no strategy at all, if you go on an expedition like this, if you are defeated, the Imagawa family business will be destroyed in your hands! ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto sat down angrily, pointed at the Imagawa clan and said, "Look at him, like him, if there is no me and Xuesai, the Imagawa family will be finished in his hands!"

I can't solve Ogasawara Yoshinaga, and there will be no one in the Imagawa family to stop Ogasawara Yoshinaga! It's really not worthy of leading a horse for the righteous chief like this! ”

Shou Gui Ni was also disappointed with Imagawa Shin's performance just now, and she did not persuade Yoshimoto not to reprimand Shin, but at this time, he must not send troops at will.

Taiyuan Xuezhai on the side interrupted: "Lord, old lady, the poor monk thinks that it is not a wrong thing for the lord to send troops, if you wait for Ogasawara Shinano to come back successfully, Mikawa may fall to Shinano."

The poor monk thought that the matter of sending troops could not be completely vetoed, so it was better for us to release false news to Shangluo and actually mobilize troops and horses to Sanhe.

First, it can confirm false news. Second, we can completely pacify Mikawa, and when Ogasawara Shinanomori sends someone to inquire about us, we can shirk it.

However, our army Chen soldiers were in Mikawa, so they could not only send troops to help the Yamaguchi Kyotsugu of Owari attack Oda, but also threaten Ogasawara Shinano to defend the only way to Joraku. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto listened to Taiyuan Xuezhai's words, he gradually calmed down, he smiled, clapped his hands with a fan and said: "Oh, hehehe~ worthy of being a teacher, such a plan is really wonderful!" That's it! ”

The old lady Shouguini on the side said with a smile: "Hehehe~ Such an old and spicy scheme, the Uesugi Guan Ling and Shinano Mamoru are just hairy boys in their twenties, and I am afraid that there is nothing to be done, and Shangluo can only end it hastily." ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled: "Heh, this rumor is going to spread, now I have to tell the Miyoshi family and let them stick to it." It's best to put them in a dilemma.

Teacher, my son is really not a master, if you have free time, you can also guide him.

By the way, how about that Matsudaira family's Takechiyo? ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai remembered the little child he taught, and said: "Takechiyo is very gentle and diligent in learning. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto asked again, "Then after he becomes the governor of the Matsudaira family, will he be a threat to the family?" ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai thought about it carefully and said: "With his character, he will not pose any threat to the family for the time being, but he is still young and cannot be qualified. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded and said, "Then please ask the teacher to watch carefully, if he has any signs of revitalizing the Matsudaira family, then... Scold! He sneered, and the meaning was obvious.

If you have a mother, you must have a son, and Imagawa Yoshimoto is also doing the same as Mrs. Shou Guini, who also recruited the anti-Jing Yi Nao to come to the Imagawa Pavilion to report on his work.

originally said that he wouldn't do anything to him, but the killer had already been ambushed halfway, and he directly killed Jing Yi's relatives, which was very decisive and ruthless.

Of course, Imagawa Yoshimoto will not let a British lord inherit the Matsudaira family, and Mikawa is already the domain of the Imagawa family.

……

In Settsu, Akutagawa Mountain Castle, this is the base camp of the Miyoshi family in the country of Settsu, and it is also the base camp of the Miyoshi family that radiates to all parts of Gyeonggi.

Today, most of the Miyoshi family's army has gathered here, confronting the more than 20,000 troops of Ogasawara Yoshinaga.

Miyoshi Chokei personally came forward and saw the military formation of Ogasawara Yoshinaga outside the castle tower on the castle tower.

He looked back at Shihe Yicun, whose face was gloomy, and asked, "My brother, does our army have a chance of winning?" ”

Because of the two defeats, Shikawa Ichicun lost face, and when he returned to Akutagawa Castle, he asked Miyoshi Chokei to apologize for his seppuku.

However, Miyoshi Chokei had a warm and gentle persuasion to Tokawa Ichiku, and at the same time, the defeat of Tokawa Ichiku, coupled with Ogasawara Yoshinaga's desire for Yamashiro Province, made Miyoshi Chokei more vigilant against Ogasawara Yoshinaga.

When Shihe Ichicun heard Miyoshi Nagakei ask him, he thought for a while and said, "Brother, from the fair side, even if the Ogasawara army does not collapse, it is one point stronger than our army in close combat field combat.

Of course, this is the feeling of the younger brother fighting with the 3,000 troops, as for the remaining 10,000 troops of the Ogasawara army, I don't know, the younger brother has already inquired, and the 3,000 troops are the elite of Ogasawara Yoshinaga's lineage. ”

Miyoshi Changqing nodded and said: "The combat strength of three thousand people is so strong, it's really amazing, but fortunately, there are not many people."

Now that our army has collapsed, after the Ogasawara army attacked once, the offensive was stopped, hehe, so what is the Ogasawara army afraid of? ”

Miyoshi Yoshiken smiled on the side: "Isn't the Ogasawara army relying on the benefits of the collapse of the country? Otherwise, how could you lose with the ability of one existence? ”

Shihe Yicun shook his head and said: "There is a fierce general in the Ogasawara army, named Yasuei Shimizu, who is good at using an iron rod, and he is as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his subordinates cannot be defeated!" ”

Hearing Ghost Shihe clearly say that he was inferior to others, the people around him started to talk about it.

Katsumasa Ikeda, who was in the back, pulled his father Ikeda Nagamasa and said, "Father, this is the time for the family to become famous, and the retainer under the command of the child, Araki Yasuke Village, has great strength and can fight!" ”

That's right, this is the guy who repeatedly jumped sideways under Oda Nobunaga and died like Matsunaga Shu.

When Araki Murashige was young, he just used his strength to dance with guns and knives, and he also loved arching horses, which was no different from the descendants of ordinary military generals. Interestingly, there is a lot of appetite.

One day, his father Yoshimura said: "This kid eats more than ordinary people, what credit can he make?" ”

Twelve Lang replied, "To be a general, you just need a little strength." Stabbing with a spear, splitting with a knife, a bit of an extraordinary ability, what is so difficult about victory. ”

Then he held up the chessboard where Yoshimura was sitting and turned it around three times, returning to the original place.

Yicun admired this strange power and said: "Twelve years old this year, with such strength, I can be like Xiang Yu in the future." It also makes sense to eat too much. ”

The rebel Araki Murashige's boyhood was not as special as Nobunaga, nor was it as vague as the most famous subordinate, Hojo Sakumo.

Araki Murashige's father, Araki Shinano Moriyoshi Village, also known as the Ikeda Six, along with several important ministers of the Ikeda family, is quite high.

Therefore, Arakimura remade the retainer of the heir of the Ikeda family, Hachiro Saburo Katsumasa.

In the eighteenth year of Astronomy (1549), the fifteen-year-old Murashige made his first move, and in the twentieth year of Astronomy (1551), Yoshimura declared seclusion because of Murashige's outstanding performance on the battlefield, allowing him to take over the position of governor.

Today, Araki Murashige is a powerful retainer under Katsumasa Ikeda.

The reason why Katsumasa Ikeda asked his father Nagamasa to come forward at this time was to let Araki Murashige defeat Shimizu Yasuei, which shows that Araki Murashige is stronger than Oni Shikawa.

And their Ikeda family is also a veteran powerhouse in Settsu.

Settsu Province is located on the west side of Kinai, and to the north is Tamba Province in the Northern Setseti Mountains; to the west is Harima Province, the eastern end of China's mountainous region and the Rokko Mountains; Tohoku is the Yamashiro Province of the Kyoto Basin; The south-southeast plain is Hanoi country; To the south, it is connected to the country of Izumi by the boundary; Across the sea from Osaka Bay is Awaji Province.

The north of the land is mountainous, and the south is plain. To the south is Osaka Bay at the eastern end of the Seto Inland Sea.

Since the Onin War, Settsu has been under the control of many independent nationalist lords such as Shinjo, Mizohang, Ibaraki, Noshi, Shiokawa, Itami, and others, including Ikeda Chikugo Morimasa of Ikeda Castle.

Katsumasa is said to be the descendant of the widow of Kusunoki Masayuki (the daughter of Captain Mitsuyuki Naito of Noma Castle Naito Yamato married Masayuki, and after the death of Masayuki in battle, he was transferred to the first lord of the Ikeda family, Ukyo Shinkyo, so he left this theory), and Ikeda Tsuneko, a retainer of the Oda family, were about five or six generations of subordinate brothers.

The Ikeda family was resolute and independent, and when the Onin War broke out, Katsumasa's great-grandfather Mitsumasa joined the Eastern Army, where he led 12 horsemen and 1,000 wild samurai to Shangluo.

After the death of Hosokawa Masamoto, his adopted sons Takaokuni and Chengyuan competed for the throne, and Katsumasa's great-grandfather Sadamasa supported Sumimoto, and when Ikeda Castle was captured by Takakuni, he seppuku, but Katsumasa's grandfather Saburo Goro Nobumasa followed Hosokawa Suminoto to launch a counterattack and recaptured the castle in his hands.

The Ikeda family, who were in the land of right and wrong in Kinai, held out in troubled times for hundreds of years on the basis of a castle, and finally died at the hands of his retainer Araki Murashige, and then Ikeda Katsumasa ran to work under Oda Nobunaga.

Now Ikeda Katsumasa sees that the Miyoshi family has some disadvantages in the face of the Joraku army, so he feels that the Miyoshi family is about to fail, so if they make a reputation, they can take advantage of the situation when the Miyoshi family is defeated and returns to Shikoku Island, and their Ikeda family can take advantage of the situation and unify Settsu Province!

Ikeda Nagamasa didn't know what Ikeda was thinking, he thought that Ikeda Katsumasa was just trying to behave, and he was a little worried: "My son, are your retainers reliable?" ”

Katsumasa Ikeda nodded firmly, "Of course! Yasuke's father is Araki Shinano Moriyoshi Village, and he is one of the six members of his family. ”

Ikeda was moved, and he hurriedly stepped out and said, "My lord! There is a subordinate family named Araki Shinano Moriyoshi Village, and his son has great power, so he can give it a try! ”

Miyoshi Changqing smiled: "Araki Shinano Shouyi Village? Hahaha, good! ”

Yoshiken Miyoshi answered: "Hehe, the son of Shinano Moriyoshi Village Araki defeated the fierce generals under the command of Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru, but it is not a good talk. ”

Miyoshi Changqing nodded and said, "In this way, let's give it a try!" ”

Ikeda Katsumasa immediately retreated, ran to the place where his samurai ashigaru lived, and shouted, "Yasuke! Where are you! ”

A young man, taller and more majestic than the people around him, stood up and shouted, "My lord, your majesty is here!" ”

Ikeda Katsumasa hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yasuke, it's time for you to behave, I finally won this opportunity for you, Miyoshiden wants you to go out and fight the enemy general Yasuei Shimizu!" ”

"Yasuei Shimizu?" Arakimurashige was shocked, "Is that the fierce general who defeated the Onijukawa twice in a row?" ”

Katsumasa Ikeda nodded vigorously.

Araki Murashige, who is only nineteen years old now, is also a little young and vigorous, and he is a little excited: "If you can defeat Yasuei Shimizu, you can be famous in Gyeonggi or even Tokaido!" My lord, thank you very much! ”

Katsumasa Ikeda smiled and nodded, "Yasuke, I'll set up a celebration wine for you in this city!" ”

Arakimura picked up his ten-character gun, left Akutagawa Castle, and rushed out on one horse.

He ran to the Ogasawara army formation, raised his spear and shouted, "In the next Nai, the son of the old Araki Shinanomori of the Setzu Ikeda family, Araki Yasuke Village, came to ask Shimizu for advice!" ”

When the Ogasawara army heard that a small countryman dared to call Shinano Mamoru, they were immediately excited and asked for battle.

However, the Ogasawara army did not dare to go to war privately, and they could only go to war if Ogasawara Yoshicho gave an order, and the Ogasawara army's military orders were very strict, so they asked the herald to go to the war, and the herald immediately ran to the shogunate on the hillside to report.

In the shogunate curtain, Ogasawara Yoshinaga sat on the main seat, and the Shinano and Mino clans sat on the left and right, discussing the next war strategy.

The envoy suddenly broke into the curtain and shouted, "Report! The enemy army dispatched a military general, who claimed to be the son of the old Araki Shinanomori of the Setzu Ikeda family, Araki Yasuke Murashige, and he wanted to fight with Shimizu! ”

Yoshicho, who was sitting on the main seat, heard Araki Murashige's name and whispered, "Good fellow, Araki Murashige is also here, and this guy is still doing this?" ”

Yoshicho was still thinking about this military general who had a sense of existence in the last years of the Warring States period, and the retainers below exploded.

Isshiki Yilong was the first to say angrily: "Damn! A courtier of the people of the country dares to call Shinano Mamoru ? How can it be repaired! ”

Inaba Ryotsu stood up and said, "Lord, let the ministers go down to teach this fanatic who doesn't know the height of the sky!" ”

Shinano people here Shenzu Xianliang patted the case and said: "I have never heard of such a general, I'm afraid I came to deliberately find Shimizu to compete for fame!" ”

Yuan Jingzong raised his hand and said, "This thief is really hateful! Don't let him succeed, my lord, let your subordinates fight against him! ”

The righteous chief at the top waved his hand and said: "This person is born with great strength, not to be ignored, since he dares to call the battle, how can this family let the other party down?"

Kang Ying, you will teach this young man a lesson, remember to go all out and break the morale of the Miyoshi family! ”

Shimizu Yasuei stood up and said, "The lord just rest assured, your subordinates will definitely defeat the enemy general as soon as possible!" ”

Yoshicho escorted Yasuei Shimizu out of the shogunate, and Yasuei Shimizu took a large iron rod from his retainers, walked down the hill, and then rode out of the camp on his horse.

When Araki Murashige saw the Ogasawara army camp coming, he shouted, "Come and get your name!" ”

Shimizu Yasuei stopped thirty paces away from Araki Village and shouted, "Down here is the retainer of the Ogasawara family, the general Shimizu Yasuei!" ”

Arakimura looked at the big iron rod in Shimizu Yasuei's hand, and said with more caution in his heart: "In the next is the son of the old Araki Shinanomori of the Settsu Ikeda family, Araki Yasuke Murashige!" Please advise! ”

"Rack!"

Yasuei Shimizu slapped his horse and rushed towards Araki Murashige, half of the big iron rod in his hand lying behind his waist and half pointing downward.

Araki Murashige also moved, and he rushed towards Yasuei Shimizu with a ten-character gun.
