On the shore in the middle of summer, the sea breeze is strong and steady, bringing a faint salty smell, which is not very good for inland people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut if you can endure this, you can enjoy a rare coolness.

The Tieshou Bunshu is gathering the army here in an orderly manner. He sailed along the coastline of the Seto Inland Sea, landed on the island of Shikoku, and led 6,500 people to Sanuki.

Tosa's Nagamune Ibu Motoko suddenly showed an anti-Miyoshi attitude and marched into Awa, forcing Shinohara Nagabo to return to defense, and the Hiterate army was given the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But Honxiu wasn't surprised.

Because this matter was planned by him at all.

To be more specific, it was after the head of Chozong decided to send troops that Heite gave instructions to the fleet to land in Sanuki. Therefore, the sharp turn that seems treacherous to outsiders does not exist for him. It's like watching a drama that predicts the outcome, no matter how twists and turns the plot is compiled, how apt the actors' interpretation is, they always have the mentality of staying out of the way and appreciating it calmly.

Maybe those second generations who go out with their fathers and brothers for the first time will feel bored, but most of the people who have really experienced life and death will not like any thrills, and the truth that the son of a daughter can't sit down is widely known in ancient and modern times at home and abroad. If it is not necessary, who wants to live with their life tied to their belt?

Moreover, the way to make meritorious contributions to the army was not blocked, and the battle still had to be fought, but the enemy was repeatedly weakened, and most people were satisfied with this.

For the first time, Sasa Narimasa, who fought under the command of Hirate Honhide, was not assigned to the vanguard position this time, but was ordered to serve by the side of the main general. He rode a horse to accompany him, and when he saw this orderly and unchaotic military appearance, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The husband who has not fought and the temple is considered the winner, and it has to be counted as a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. Strategizing in the middle of the battle, winning thousands of miles away, the supervisor is really admirable. ”

As a well-known fighting general, he has always been considered to be bad at strategy, and he only knows how to kill. But looking at the little bit of envy in these words, it seems that he himself also wants to be a wise general with a lupine scarf, but he can't catch it.

The other generals were either on the ship to carry out the landing that had not yet ended, or the team that had just come ashore was not around, and only Sasa Naruma was in front of him, and he was neck and neck with the main general.

The flat-handed Fan Xiu, who was slowly pacing on the horse, was unconscious when he heard this, lifted the reins of the horse, and said with a smile: "This is really a false praise that you can't deserve!" In this private occasion, there is no need to be so polite, let's match the name! ”

"No, the upper and lower are humble, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." Although there are no others around, Sasa Chengzheng still adheres to the usual and habitual importance of etiquette.

"In that case, I can only call you Uzum-sama." Tie Tsumi feigned dissatisfaction. He insisted on calling this colleague who had known him since childhood as a friend, partly because the relationship between the two parties was really good, and partly because Fan Xiu wanted to make the past relationship between the two sides more conclusive.

The boarding is both a help and a surveillance, and Nobunaga may be able to ask questions that are not easy to answer at the right time, and he needs to be prepared for a rainy day.

Zuo Zuo Chengzheng is an upright and simple general, and when he was provoked by the words, he didn't know how to deal with it, so he shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Then I will overstep, even left!" ”

"That's right!" Pingshou Fan Xiu turned around and laughed, just in time to see that the other party also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. Suddenly, he felt that the person behind him was also a country warrior who couldn't stand red tape in his bones, but he was just very capable of pretending.

"Speaking of Lord Prisoner--Left-Speaking Left, what kind of means did you use to say that the Changzong and my clan took the initiative to attack Apo?" After a while, Sasa Seimasa asked the question that had been left in his heart for a long time, "After all, my family doesn't have much energy to take care of Shikoku, and in the future, it will be very difficult for this Changzong and my department to deal with the hostility of Shinohara Nagabo independently." ”

This is not a question that he alone does not understand. It's just that other people are not qualified to ask questions directly in person.

"Means...... It's not a hassle to say......" Heite Hirate answered his doubts without hesitation, "I have always known that the head of Tosa's Nagasa, the head of my department, is a heroic man with deep ambition and talent, and if I provide a ladder that cannot be refused, he will definitely climb up." ”

Sasa Narumasa was obviously not a good man, he didn't ask what this ladder was, and he wasn't surprised why Honhide knew so much about a Tosa people, but just listened quietly.

Heite Honhide waited for a while, but received no response at all, so he could only cough and add to himself: "According to the pre-agreement, as long as you ask for or capture the puppet prince Ashikaga Yoshiei and send it to Kyoto, you can get the position of 'Tosa Guardian' recognized by the shogunate." ”

The so-called "pseudo-public side", who was originally Ashikaga Yoshiaki's cousin, was moved out by the Miyoshi trio after the "Yongroku Great Rebellion", and was forced out to make a tablet, counting the days to become the "left horse head" (equal to the general of the quasi-Zhengyi) earlier than Yoshiaki. It's just that he didn't have time to enter the palace, and it was not recognized, and as the three of them lost power, they were gradually forgotten.

Therefore, Sazo Chengzheng was surprised for a while: "It turns out that Changzong and my department are for this...... I don't want this pseudo-public body to be worth the protection of a country, it's really ......"

As a countryman from Owari, he knows that guardianship is still a very powerful weapon of public opinion at the grassroots level. Otherwise, why did Nobunaga welcome back the waste called Spo Yoshigin, and send someone to serve him? Although now the guy doesn't know if he's dead or what's wrong......

If the Yuan Relatives of the Changzong and my department are really as ambitious as they say, they will certainly not let go of such an opportunity. For this reason, he will not hesitate to offend a three-good family who is in decline.

"It doesn't matter if you think it's worth it or not." Hirate Honohide smiled and glanced in the direction of Kyoto, "That adult, but I think it's worth it." ”

This is indeed the case, and Zuo Zuo Chengzheng was immediately speechless.

Tosa Ichikoku, for the people of Kyoto, is just a poor ravine hundreds of kilometers away, and it is not worth paying attention to at all, and its original owner, the Hosokawa family, has long since fallen into decay, and the position of guardian is in a state of vacancy.

On the other hand, Ashikaga Yoshiei, who is still supported by the Miyoshi family, although it doesn't seem worth mentioning, but after all, he has a terrifying reputation, and every breath of air he breathes will make today's Gongfang adults feel jealous.

I think that when Yoshiaki was the most depressed, there were less than ten retainers around him, and they were hiding in the mud pond together, and now they have turned over by relying on Oda's general trend.

Who says it won't happen again?

Therefore, whoever can help Ashikaga Yoshiaki solve this trouble, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will never be stingy with rewards.

However, now that Nobunaga is very strict with Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide, who has already taken a stand, "protects" Gongkata-sama every step of the way, making it impossible for him to easily meet with the envoys of the nations.

Of course, if Ashikaga Yoshiaki can really pull his face down and have to do something "detrimental to unity" regardless of the atmosphere, it is not impossible, but this is just a backup measure in times of emergency, and he can't do it every day.

There is a clear supply and demand relationship between the two sides of this deal, and the tie plays the role of a middleman. But sometimes the middleman earns the most.

In the thousands of years of human civilization, those who control the channels are often more powerful than those who control capital, although in many cases, the two are controlled by the same people.

In any case, the head of the Changzong and my department always blatantly led the army into Apo, even if it didn't cause much damage, it can't be like a child after a fight, you can reconcile with a hook, no matter how you say it, you have to maintain a hostile state for a year and a half before it makes sense.

And during this period of time, the strategy of the draw Tsunoku against the four countries naturally became extremely smooth.

Sazo Chengzheng thought for a long time, his expression changed, and finally elaborated in a conclusive tone: "As the saying goes, 'it is difficult to know, but it is difficult to do.'" It's always clear to say things, but it's another thing to actually do it. ”

Fan Xiu shook his head, didn't say anything about it, but turned his head to the retainers on the side and asked loudly, "Have you sorted things out?" How long is it before we go? ”

When Kawada heard this command, he hurriedly trotted forward and replied on his knees: "Return to the lord!" Hide-yi-sama's reserve team had an accident when they disembarked, and some people fell into the water and were being rescued, causing confusion between the two adjacent teams, and the subsequent ships were still about a quarter of an hour before they could reach the shore...... Now, only 3,000 people can go with you! ”

"It's Keiji again!" Tie Fan Xiu is quite a bit hated that iron is not steel. This nephew didn't know where to find a bunch of unruly and idle warriors as his subordinates, and he was indeed brave in the melee, but discipline has always been very problematic. When I heard about this accident, I subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Sasa Narumasa approached, and explained softly in a righteous and insistent manner: "The matter has not yet been clarified, it may not be a fault of military discipline, and even if you set off at this time, it will be too late to pursue the main force of Shinohara Nagabo." ”

"Well......" Hite-hode Hiseki was noncommittal, but on the surface he still gave face, and he didn't get angry anymore, but continued to order Kawada Nagakin: "Remember to investigate the details of the accident clearly, record it in the pleadings in the future, and then take care of it." ”

In fact, Sasa Narumasa is right, although the enemy is exhausted by the strategy of attacking the east and west, but the arrangement of Shinohara Nagafang is very sufficient. Moreover, the people of Nishizanki have a lot of desire to fight, even if there is a defection of Miyoshi Changyi, at most it will be to eliminate this group of broken rear army.

A stratagem is just a stratagem. At present, Hirate Honhide is unable to eliminate Shinohara or the Miyoshi family, and Nobunaga is not prepared to give more assistance, so it is not easy to take advantage of this situation.

After being silent for a while, Sasa Narumasa suddenly pointed in the direction of the coast and exclaimed, "How can this be reasonable? Whose fleet is that? ”

The tie was surprised. I've known each other for so many years, and I've never seen this little man so frightened, right?

What's going on today?

What did you just say - the fleet?

Fan Xiu looked up, and then what appeared in his eyes was an overwhelming fleet of ships as far as his eye could see, rushing towards the discovery of his own army.
