Be independent, don't be at the mercy of others! Be honest in life, but you can't be bullied by others! It's not that you can't listen to what others say, but you have to make your own decisions on how to do it!

- Gorky (proletarian writer of the former Soviet Union, founder of socialist realist literature)

The Mogami army controlled by the Uesugi army consisted of one general, two generals, and eleven generals, and the defenders of Hasedo Castle also had one general and three generals, but these generals of the Mogami family were all under house arrest by Uesugi Keitora's personal guards.

On the one hand, the number of Ashigaru generals and Ashigaru group leaders in the Uesugi army was not large, and once a large number of troops were transferred, it would affect the combat strength of the Uesugi army, and on the other hand, because the combat power of the Mogami army was maintained by these two levels of generals.

According to the standard establishment of 50 ashigaru groups with ashigaru group leaders and 10 groups of 500 ashigaru generals under the command of ashigaru generals, the Mogami army, which consisted of 20,000 ashigaru and 5,000 wounded soldiers, should have 50 ashigaru generals and 500 ashigaru group leaders, and the actual situation is more or less the same.

These low-level generals of the Mogami family, who hated Uesugi Keitora and the Uesugi army, had to abandon all the grievances and estrangements between them in order to fight against the Uesugi generals who tried to control the Mogami army, and closely united to maintain the independence of the Mogami army.

Therefore, the self-rescue operation of the five leaders of the Ashigaru group is not so much a secret operation of their own opinions, but a joint decision of the generals of the Supreme Army; however, in order to avoid too much involvement after the matter is exposed, they can only select some people who dare to die with relatively small powers, and let these brave warriors risk their lives to carry out this extremely risky self-rescue action.

The failure of the first four Death Warrior detachments was understandable to the generals of the Mogami Army, who were in a state of tension, because Hasedo Castle was so big, and with the forced requisition of the Uesugi Army in front, the possibility of finding doctors and medicines in the future was not very high.

Only the group of brave warriors who had not returned for a long time made all the generals of the army anxious, and they were very worried about the safety of this detachment of brave warriors, worried that they would be discovered by the soldiers of the Uesugi army patrolling the castle, and that they had died for the operation.

Hours of anxious waiting have almost exhausted the patience of every Supreme Army general, and seeing that the dawn is approaching, when the Supreme Army generals have generally believed that this team of daring warriors will not return, this team of daring warriors who are in the dust has returned!

Although this group of daredevils did not bring back doctors and medicines, they brought back the shocking news that they could save the army more than doctors and medicines, and it turned out that the lord of Hasedo Castle, Shimura Mitsuyasu, did not leave the castle at all, he was just lurking in the castle.

Relying on Shimura Mitsuyasu alone, trying to free the Mogami army from the control of the Uesugi army is tantamount to a fool's dream, and this is not only known to the generals of the Mogami army, but also to Shimura Mitsuyasu himself, so he chose to let himself 'disappear' into the city.

During the two days of his 'disappearance', the cautious Shimura Mitsuyasu hid in the house of his only friend he could absolutely trust, until he met this group of Dagami warriors who were looking for doctors and medicines in the city, and Shimura Mitsuyasu dared to come to Mogami Army's military camp in person.

At the time of departure, the ten ashigaru led by a head of the Ashigaru group returned with two more people, one of whom was Shimura Mitsuyasu, and after entering the Mogami Army's military camp, Shimura Mitsuyasu, who identified himself, was immediately invited by the Mogami Army generals to an ordinary Ashigaru military tent.

In order to avoid the surveillance of the Uesugi generals in the Mogami Army, the meeting place of the Mogami generals was usually an ordinary ashigaru military tent away from the Uesugi general's tent, and for the sake of secrecy, all the dozen or so military tents near the Ashigaru military tent were guarded by these generals.

"Shimura-sama, who is this next to you?" asked softly as he entered the tent, a general who looked like a leader.

"This is the head of the Rokuta family, Yunari Rokuta. Looking at the generals in the military tent with a blank look, Shimura Mitsuyasu explained to them: "When our Upper Family was strong, there used to be a super retainer group of the Megatron Empire, do you know?"

While most of the generals were still at a loss, a general who was breathing a little quickly said in a slightly trembling tone: "What Lord Shimura said, but the Eight Shields Family, which together with the first generation of our Mogami Family, created the Mogami Family?"

"Yes, Lord Rokuta Yusei is the contemporary governor of the Rokuta family, one of the eight shields. ”

"Lord Shimura, what is the situation with this Eight Shields Family?" asked the leading Ashigaru general, on behalf of the generals.

"The so-called Eight Shields Family refers to the eight generations of families that have been loyal to the Mogami family, including the Tendo family, the Iida family, the Ohanazawa family, the Nagaoka family, the Nagyoshi family, the Narisheng family, the Enzawa family, and the Rokuta family. ”

"Lord Shimura, since these eight families are all Eight Shield families, why are the governors of the Tiantong family, the Sakagaoka family, and the Yanzawa family all important ministers of the family, but the other five families have disappeared?" After listening to Shimura Mitsuyasu's explanation, the generals were still confused.

"It's the four families that still owe allegiance to the Mogami family, not the three. Rokuta Yusei, who didn't plan to speak, suddenly interjected: "The former Narisheng family has now been renamed the Narizawa family, and its current family governor Yoshimitsu Mogami trusts Narusawa Totada. ”

"This Lord Liutian, I don't care what kind of glory your family has, but the name of the family governor is not something you can call out!"

"Your Excellency, General, isn't a person's name used to address others, or is it the governor of your family......

Although Rokuta Yusei did not say all of his words, who of the generals in the military tent could not hear the deep meaning of his words? A hot-tempered general of Ashigaru drew his katana on the spot: "Presumptuous! How can you insult my lord?"

"Hmph!" Rokuta Yusei also flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "Then you just wait for your father-in-law to come and save you!"

"You ......"

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise. Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the military tent was getting stronger and stronger, Shimura Mitsuyasu hurriedly said: "Everyone, the grievances and grievances between the Mogami family and the Eight Shields family are all old from one or two hundred years ago, and now we don't talk about the past, but only discuss how to save our own lives under the attack of the Uesugi army and the Yanhuang army, okay?"

"Hmph, as long as someone doesn't say anything disrespectful, I naturally won't have anything to do with the family governor of an outdated family!"

"Hmph, I'm not saving Hasedo Castle of the Mogami family, but Rokuda Castle of my Rokuda family!"
