Mt. Hiwada, 60 miles from Omiya Town, is one of the main thoroughfares that come from the west to the Kanto Plain.

When the sun was blazing, when Lu Ning led the crowd to arrive at Rihetian Mountain, there were thirty or forty more thieves from Maolu Mountain with him, which he had subdued when he had gone out for a boring night earlier.

At the foot of Rihetian Mountain, there was a village fence, and before Lu Ning and other brigades approached, the sound of bamboo bangs sounded in the fence, and soon a group of armed peasants ran out of the village fence and confronted Lu Ning and others.

Obviously, the geographical environment here is special, the choke point, and the west side is a mountainous area, which is the place where thieves swarm during the turmoil, and the village fence has long formed a tradition of self-defense and vigilance.

The thieves of Maolu Mountain were like a group of rabble, and they rushed to the front with a whining and whining, and they all wished that the villagers would do it first, so that they could take the opportunity to wash and plunder, anyway, the sky was falling, and there were Qi people to carry it.

Their weapons are actually no different from those of the villagers, and there are even many bamboo-sharpened bento weapons.

The coachman Wang Longhe went to communicate, and after a while, he led a middle-aged man to the ox cart, it was Tian Shan Xingao, the leader of the village gate, who was in his forties, and his face was a little gloomy.

Lu Ning had already heard about the situation of Tian Shan Zha and understood that the Tian Shan clan was migrated from the Ping clan, and Tian Shan Shintaka was the nephew of Ping Jiangmen, who established himself as the emperor back then, and the son of Ping Jiangmen's younger brother Ping Jiangmen.

At that time, the Taira Shogun Gate was defeated, and the Taira Shogun Lai was also defeated by the Sagami Country, and Tayama Nobutaka also joined the ranks of the Sagami Country to crusade against his father, and as a result, his clan was also pardoned.

As a result, Tayama Nobutaka led his people to migrate to the foot of Mt. Tada on this day and called himself the Tayama clan.

Speaking of which, Tayama Nobuyaka was only in his early twenties, betraying his father for the benefit of the clansmen, it was very ruthless, and it was also the unique culture of Dongying, in the Dongying cultural circle, family affection was sometimes not so solid, although this kind of thing could happen to powerful families in the Central Plains, but no matter how he betrayed his father, he would never become the object of praise from the literati, but in Dongying Tianshan Nobuyaka would be praised for wisdom and be able to do it, not because of any loyalty to the emperor, but because of the abandonment of his father to keep part of the clansmen.

Speaking of which, this Kanto area has always been an eventful place, 20 years ago, Heishomon was to occupy the countries of Shimoso and proclaimed himself emperor, and in history, a few decades later, there was Fujiwara Mae in Musashi to raise troops, and Taira Tadashi, the grandson of Heishomon, also rebelled in the area of Shitamo, Kamiso, and Anbo.

This is because the Kanto Plain is still a very remote place in the eyes of the Kyoto Minister, but in fact, the agricultural land in this area is getting higher and higher, and in the absence of control in Kyoto, it is easy for the heroes entrenched here to breed an independent mentality.

Nowadays, the three kingdoms of the lower general state, the upper general general and the three kingdoms of Anfang, and even the southern part of the Changlu country, with the help of the Qi people, are all under the control of the original lower general state Shou Tachibana Zhongren.

Lu Ning even considered whether to support Tachibana Zhong to serve as Shangluo and establish a puppet regime controlled by the Qi people.

Just like the puppet Qi regime established by the Jin State north of the Yellow River.

Of course, it is still necessary to take one step at a time.

At this time, looking at Tian Shan Nobuyao in front of him, Lu Ning said that he wanted Tian Shan Nobuyao to swear allegiance to the Lower Commander-in-Chief Shou Tachibana Zhongren.

Wang Longhe took out Tachibana Zhongren and appointed Tayama Nobutaka as the lord of Tianshan City, and led the Nangu County Shigao, that is, in the future, the Nangao County will be the territory of the Tianshan clan.

Tayama Nobutaka was silent, but he glanced at the long knives in the hands of the samurai near the ox cart, and the delicate armor that was strung with bamboo chips, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment.

The bandits who confronted the peasants were like Hanako compared to the equipment of these samurai.

But speaking of which, the vast majority of the soldiers recruited in Kyoto are also called Hanako?

This is just a comparison with the samurai regiment supported by the Qi people, what if the Qi people are pawns?

Lu Ning didn't force him, and walked to the side, under the cedar tree, the true winter Ji transverse flute, gently blowing a beautiful tune.

Lu Ning sat under the tree and leaned down, pondering a recent letter from Tachibana Zhongren.

In the letter to the "Wenzong Yuan", Tachibana Zhongren first hoped to obtain the support of the Great Qi armament, such as the long knives and bamboo armor rationed by the samurai, and he hoped to get 5,000 long knives and 5,000 bamboo armor; After obtaining these ordnance, Tachibana Zhongren hoped to lead the general of Zhengyi and go to the side of Luo Qingjun, and at the same time, hoped to get the support of the military horses of the Qi State.

Obviously, Tachibana Zhongren has already figured it out, if the Qi people fail now, he will inevitably have the lives of his relatives in danger, so it is inevitable to rely on the Qi people, first gain power, and then divide the interests of the Qi people, how to maintain their independence and curb the Qi people's control of the entire Dongying, that is a later story.

However, speaking of which, I haven't figured out how to use the Tachibana clan and this Tachibana Zhongren.

Originally, he was inclined to make Tachibana Nakaren an independent buffer force, support it, and not be defeated by the expeditionary Kyoto Army, and this kind of support would get twice the result with half the effort, without the blood and sweat of his own soldiers, and the pressure on the expeditionary Kyoto Army in the Kanto region was not great.

But obviously, Tachibana Zhongren has also been thinking about it during this time, since he has fallen to the Qi people, he is not willing to do anything about the secession force in the buffer zone, but hopes that his power will go further, and even Shangluo dominates Kyoto.

He had no ambition to become the new emperor, but it was his new goal to become the true lord of Toei with a clear vision such as Sekihaku or the regent general.

But in any case, sending the Qi army into Dongying to fight fundamentally, he will not be, after all, speaking of which, Dewa and Mutsu Aodi, now, it is difficult to say that it is Dongying territory, and he occupies a borderless land, but sending Qi troops to invade Kyoto is another matter, blood and sweat, and in the end, he may even make wedding dresses for others.

To get what you want, you don't have to go through such a lot of work.

Just as he was pondering, Lu Ning suddenly frowned slightly, but saw the curtain of the ox cart chatting slightly, and then fell down.

But Tian Shan Nobugao seemed to see the people in the carriage, and his face immediately changed slightly, although he quickly returned to normal, he couldn't escape Lu Ning's eyes.

After a while, Tian Shan Xingao slowly stood up and took the letter of appointment in Wang Longhe's hand, or rather, what the Qi people called the edict.

Looking at this scene, Lu Ning didn't say much.

……

Lu Ning was busy erecting a watchtower on Hiwatian Mountain.

But I didn't want to, and the next day, a samurai in Omiya Town hurriedly came to report.

Tachibana Michinobu, the son of Tachibana Nakaren, led the army into the Musashi country, and Musashi Kuni's Shougen Manji said that he was sick, but the arms of the Omiya Shrine confronted Tachibana Michinobu in Omiya Town, preventing the warriors under Tachibana Michibana from entering Omiya Town.

Omiya Shrine's Omiya Priest Musashi Kiyoshige issued an order to each branch to send volunteers to Omiya to protect the peace of the gods of the main shrine.

Lu Ning didn't pay attention to it, and from an outsider's point of view, he just wrote a secret letter to the General Academy of Literature in New Tang City to explain the situation.

In Omiyachi, clashes soon broke out between the Tachibana army and Musashi Kiyoshige's temple forces.

The samurai regiment of Omiya-cho did not participate in this conflict.

A few days later, after more than 100 casualties on both sides, the fight subsided.

Tachibana Nakaren personally wrote a letter to Musashi Kiyoshige, acknowledging the ownership of all private property of Omiya Shrine in Musashi Province, and appointing a priest of the Musashi family to become the priest of the Tachibana Clan Shrine in Shimo Sofu, that is, to pay tribute to the souls of the deceased of the elders of the Tachibana clan.

With the support of the followers of the Hikawa Shrine, the Tachibana clan was able to enter Musashi Province.

The influence of Musashi Kuni's source is full of seasons and has been greatly reduced.

Lu Ning, who was watching this battle from the sidelines, was also a little helpless after reading the detailed battle reports of each of their battles.

It can only be said that both sides are scumbags of war, and there is no battle with a very high mortality rate at all.

More often than not, the local heroes of Dongying are compromised through various battles to get the best results.

The tragedy of fighting for the world in Middle-earth is not the same at all.

Even if Dongying arrived in the Warring States period, many times, it was the same.

And Lu Ning gradually made a decision.

A few days after the Omiya Rebellion, Tachibana Nakashi took the lead of the "Kanto Imperial Domain" and at the same time wrote a sprinkling article, reprimanding the right minister Minamoto Takaaki, the general of the expedition, Ono Yoshiko, and other barbaric and warlike ministers, who provoked disputes between Japan and Qi, and were guilty of causing trouble in the world.

Minamoto Takaaki was the opponent of the left minister Fujiwara Minori, and the most powerful figure in the hardliners, Ono Yoshiko was awarded the general of Zhengyi under his strong recommendation to gather the world's warriors to expel the Qi people.

Minamoto Takaaki is the elder brother of the current Emperor Murakami and the tenth prince of Emperor Daigo, but more than 40 years ago, he was demoted to a courtier at the age of six.

This is also the tradition of the Japanese imperial family, and the ancestors of the Fuji clan, the Taira clan, the Genji clan, and the Tachibana clan are all courtiers who have been reduced by the prince.

Historically, a few years later, Minamoto Takaaki was completely knocked down by Fujiwara Minori in a coup d'état.

In the public text, Tachibana Nakaren only crusaded against Minamoto Takaaki and his henchmen, and he also hoped that the Fuji clan in Kyoto could become his own help from time to time to pull the hind legs of Gentakaki, Ono Yoshiko, etc.
