Chapter 52: Bad News
I don't know why, on the night when Fanxiu rushed back to Hangcheng from the front line, Mrs. Dog's body suddenly improved. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe next day, the doctor examined her for several hours and confirmed that she was generally fine, and there was no problem with the fetal position, which could only be explained as a miracle. Under the great joy of the pan show, all the subordinates are rewarded.
After spending half a day with his family, in the evening, he finally focused on the ongoing war and sent two of his subordinates to deliver the news. On the Plains of Nongwei, the horses galloped, and the back and forth was very fast, and it was only a day and night to go back and forth.
The news from the front line is also very lively. Within a few days of the Battle of Moribe, the main forces of the Saito family were stationed in Shijujo Village to confront Oda, and at the same time sent special forces to launch night attacks from three directions, repulsing Nobunaga's forces. The Oda army was defeated all the way, and the Saito army was reluctant to pursue, when the latter was already at the end of the crossbow, Sasa Chengzheng, Ikeda Hengxing suddenly led the new force to help, and together they killed the enemy's general Inaba and the right guard, and then pushed each other to give up the battle exploits, and passed on the good talk.
Nobunaga turned defeat into victory, and then waited for the main force to catch up behind, so he personally led a large army of 10,000 men to attack Mino again. And the Saito family, which had broken two formations in a row, didn't dare to attack for a while, so they could only cage the city to resist.
Seeing this, the tie Fanxiu's heart basically settled down, and the suspense should not be big when the battle is fought to this point. Although this time is definitely not enough to take Inabayama Castle, Mino's side should be even more powerless to drive away the Oda army, and as expected, the final outcome should be protracted and fruitless, and it is only right to withdraw the army on its own initiative.
Keijiro, this kid took down the enemy's head at the fourth level in the first battle, including the opponent's general, it can be said that he is in the limelight enough, because his face is full of childishness and superb marksmanship, and he has won the nickname of "ghost boy". Hisakahide's desire to make him stand out was a fulfillment.
So Fanxiu was more at ease and wanton, spending the whole day in the city and at the same time began to think about the next plan of action. Minong's strategy won't make much progress for a while, and the next thing is to take the city in Takenaka, the three-person crowd strategy, and things like the night city......
However, more than ten days later, there was an urgent report, saying that the Oda army had returned from a crushing defeat. Fan Xiu was surprised, and hurriedly sent a few powerful retainers out to inquire and investigate, and it took two or three days to get countless versions of the information, and after summarizing and analyzing, he came to a rough conclusion:
First of all, the truth of the matter, the Oda family took advantage of the victory to pursue under Inabayama Castle, but there was no good way to attack the city for a while, so they could only continue to attack. At this time, the retainers led by the three Mino led their troops to the castle, and Nobunaga saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered the army to retreat, but in the process they were pursued and lost more than 200 men.
Then, Minono, who had just lost her lordship, made a big deal about this "victory" in order to stabilize people's hearts, and finally boasted that he had won 2,000 enemies, and the results of the battle were exaggerated tenfold. Then he put the young man named Takenaka Hanbei on the high platform as a hero, declaring that this "great victory" was all caused by his tactical command, and the title of "Mino Kirin" resounded for a while.
In addition, Owari is not reconciled. Thinking about it carefully, in the past 20 days, the Oda family still has a slight upper hand, how can the enemy reverse black and white so much? As a result, Sasa Narumasa, Ikeda Hengxing, and the newly emerging Tie Keiji were also pushed to the forefront, especially the latter's nickname of "Ghost Boy", which is complementing the "Kirin" over there.
In the end, a strange situation was formed in which both sides claimed to be the victor.
This series of events is really laughable, and it proves once again that war is only a continuation of politics. For political reasons, even a victory or defeat can be reversed.
(PS: Shigeharu Takenaka Hanbei is a man who was first overestimated and later underestimated.) Throughout history, he does have outstanding points in wisdom, but he has not made any achievements in military strategy, and in general, he is neither the legendary "No. 1 military division in the world" with outstanding ability, nor is it completely a "bubble" in some people's mouths, and I don't want to deify him or belittle him in this book. )
However, within a few days, Fanxiu immediately couldn't laugh. Because the results announced by the Mino Saito family include a familiar name - Hisahide Hisause. After learning the news, Fanxiu immediately got on his horse and rushed to the north, and when he was still halfway, someone reported that it was the soldiers of Qingzhou City, and the news had been confirmed.
Fanxiu only felt that he was almost about to fall off the horse.
…………
Cheongju City.
Oda Nobunaga sat in the middle as if nothing had happened, still calm, but the important ministers on all sides were silent and grim, obviously being severely reprimanded just now.
At the time of the military discussion, Shibata, Takikawa and others did not feel that their side was defeated this time, so they all said that he would make a comeback one day and would definitely work a hundred times harder to ensure victory. Nobunaga, on the other hand, was furious about it.
Although Niwa Nagahide could roughly guess the thoughts of the lord, he was reluctant to say it to his face, because showing it at this moment would be tantamount to sweeping the face of Shibata and the others, which was inconsistent with his style. As for Lin Zuodu, of course, he will not run out at this time.
After waiting for a long time, Nobunaga finally ran out of patience, waved his hand to drive these important ministers out, and asked the group of attendants around him what they thought, and a man named Kinoshita Toyoshiro stepped forward to recommend himself, although it did not meet Nobunaga's meaning, but he did not reprimand him, but scolded with a smile: "You kid is so-so to be a servant, is it like being a general?" ”
At this time, the tie Fanxiu had just arrived quickly, and he saw several important ministers going out one after another.
Lin Zuodu looked at him with a selective expression, shook his head and ignored it, Niwa was surprised, but in front of everyone, he didn't come up to talk in detail, just said hello and left by himself. Only Shibata Katsuya saw it, sighed a few times, and stepped forward to comfort him. Sakuma Nobumori was walking behind Shibata, so naturally he had to follow.
"Didn't only two hundred people die in battle, could it be that my brother asked for the position of queen of the palace?"
As soon as they met, Fanxiu asked bluntly.
Shibata didn't care about his rudeness, but Sakuma frowned and didn't say a word.
"It's not that the queen of the palace, it's just that he was originally in the front line with the lord, and when he retreated, he naturally fell behind."
"Didn't the person in charge of the palace army wait for all the people to evacuate safely before returning to the battle?"
The tie pan show is unrelenting, so asked.
Sakuma snorted and was about to interject, but was stopped by Shibata. The latter still said warmly:
"The people behind the palace can only ensure the safety of the main force of this formation, and it is impossible to take care of everyone."
Fanxiu was noncommittal to his words, but went on to ask:
"Then I would like to ask Shibata-sama, who is the person behind the palace?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Shibata's face suddenly remained unchanged, and he said solemnly:
"For decades, Owari Oda has not only killed your brother in battle! Even if you want to hold a grudge, it should be the Saito family, and there is no reason to blame the people on the side of the family for not being able to rescue well! ”
"Not bad!" Sakuma Nobumori couldn't help but interject and said, "On top of the battle, there is a destiny of each peace, who can live forever?" ”
Fanxiu was silent, and after a moment, he bowed to Shibata.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
…………
In the military formation, he found the depressed Keiji, who was dazed and wandering. was woken up by Fanxiu, and suddenly fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
"The person behind the palace is Takigawa Kazuki!"
Keiji told Fanxiu. For his uncle, who is in the middle of the blood, there is no honorific title at all.
And Fanxiu calmed down at the moment.
Takigawa Kazuki is a person who is cautious in nature, so he may not be a person who will deliberately design his colleagues to die, not to mention that his relationship with Hisahide is not bad.
And there are other priorities at hand, and there is no time to think about them.
