At the beginning of March of the 10th year of Yongroku, it was almost the time of spring ploughing, and the peasants and soldiers from all over the country had to go home to work, and the daimyo who had not separated the soldiers and peasants could naturally only stop fighting for the time being. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, an army of several thousand people quietly appeared in Hanoi. Hundreds of banners painted with "three-order rhombic nail drawing" swaggered in the wind, announcing the identity of the commander of the army—it was the overlord of Kinai a year earlier, the Awa Miyoshi family.

In the Chinese army, the commander of the troops is the best of the three people, the best at military science of the three good three people, the best at military science Miyoshi Zhengya, assisted by the veteran Miyoshi Changyi, the striker is the fierce general Iwacheng Youtong, and the other generals who participated in the battle up and down are all the elites who have been fighting for many years under the direct command of the three people.

The army did not bring baggage and men, and each man carried only a few days' rations with him, and galloped across the plains.

Miyoshi Zhengkang is only forty years old, and he is still in the prime of life, but most of his hair is gray, and his forehead is full of wrinkles. It shows that the affairs of the Miyoshi family in the past few years have really put too much pressure on him. Helplessly, there are really no good materials among the children and grandchildren, and this "veteran" who is not old and decrepit can only shake his spirit, put on the battle, and try not to show a trace of old age.

"I hope this battle can be successful in one fell swoop, otherwise even if the Miyoshi family does not die in the hands of foreign enemies, it will be defeated in the hands of those unfilial sons sooner or later!" Miyoshi Masaysu muttered to himself on his horse. Thinking of the juniors in Shikoku's family, he couldn't help frowning deeply, and his mood was also depressed.

Seeing this, the deputy general Miyoshi Nagayi leaned forward and asked, "What is Uemon (Miyoshi Masayasu) worried about?" Do you think of those rabbit cubs in Shikoku again? ”

In terms of status in the family, Changyi is above Zhengkang, but Zhengkang's martial arts are more, so the two also have an unwritten tacit understanding in internal and external affairs: Wenzhi is headed by Changyi, and the military attack is given priority to Zhengkang.

Miyoshi Masayama shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After all, they are the biological children of Shixiu (Miyoshi Yoshixian), if you talk like this, can our elders really care about them?" ”

"If Shixiu is still here, I don't have anything to say about letting him come out to take power, but what are those little cubs who haven't grown all their hair?" Miyoshi Changyi obviously didn't listen to Zhengkang's words, and there was a sense of determination in his eyes, "There can only be one voice in the Miyoshi family, if you want to set up another door, you can only get rid of it!" ”

Seeing that he couldn't convince the other party, Zhengkang could only continue to smile bitterly and never answer again.

After the three of Miyoshi retreated to Shikoku, in the name of the main family, they ordered the remaining forces to resist Oda, but the Shikoku families did not want to give them this face. In the eyes of the two young men, Awa's Miyoshi Nagaji and Sanuki's Tokawa Depository, the trio were just retainers, and there was no reason to give orders to the family.

The person who really has this qualification should be the designated heir of Miyoshi Changqing, Miyoshi Yoshiji, but it is this righteous step-son who is not willing to be a puppet, and even prefers to break with the three of them and throw himself into the arms of the enemy.

As a result, the three of them no longer had the position to command the entire team, and only by virtue of their past prestige and the coercion of force forcibly gained the dominance.

"As long as this kid is successfully captured this time, outsiders will have nothing to say." Miyoshi Masaysu looked at Miyoshi Changyi, who was older than himself, and could only be so comforted.

"Of course this kid has to be caught!" A trace of disdain flashed in Miyoshi Changyi's eyes, and the nominal governor seemed to be just a pheasant and hare in his eyes, "But he left Miyoshi's family and ran to join Oda Nobunaga's nouveau riche, and this account was slowly settled!" ”

Miyoshi Zhengkang sighed: "What's the use of settling accounts with him?" No matter how you say it, you can't kill him! What's more, even if you want to change the governor now, you can't find a suitable candidate! There were too many heroes in the previous generation of my Sanhao family, but now the heirs are withering. ”

Talking about this, the two of them were full of gloom, and they were speechless for a while.

The column is more than a mile long, the end of the head and tail can not look at each other, hundreds of large and small flags, but also majestic, but between the ranks, but there is a depressing quiet, occasionally someone simply talks a few words, but also lowers the voice.

About five years ago, also on the battlefield of Hanoi, the Miyoshi family discharged a crusading army of more than 60,000 people, and destroyed all the forces of the anti-Miyoshi coalition army in one day with a strong attack. But now that the times have changed, they can only attack with a force of less than 10,000 people, and they can only sneak attack on light horses, desperate.

"If we are defeated this time, we will not have the face to go down to see Sun Jiro (the common character of Miyoshi Changqing)." Miyoshi Zhengkang sighed.

When it comes to generation, Zhengkang and Changyi are both uncles of Sanhao Changqing, but Changqing returned to the West early when he was not confused, and most of his brothers of the same generation died unexpectedly, and only a few old men and inexperienced hairy boys were left in the family.

"If the information is correct, there is a seventy percent chance of winning this time." This time, it was Changyi's turn to comfort his old partner, "With this victory, the luck of the Miyoshi family will be at least ten years longer." ”

"I hope so." Zhengkang nodded slowly.

Immediately, something saw the head of the scout (Scout Commander) step forward and report the direction of the moment. With the help of the Awaji Navy, which belonged to the Miyoshi family, he crossed the Izumi Province in one day and galloped in the direction of Kyoto.

"Although this march may not be secretive, as long as it is fast enough, the other party will not have time to react."

"I didn't expect to hide it." Miyoshi Masaysu smiled bitterly, "The ninjas of Nerai and Saga are definitely happy to sell our news to the Oda family, and the merchants of Kaimachi may not be on the same page as us......"

"But even if they come prepared, it doesn't matter." Miyoshi Nagayi added, "There is no need to kill the enemy in this battle, and there is no need to care about casualties, as long as the goal is completed, it is a victory." ”

"Pass the order! Rest in place for two quarters of an hour, let the soldiers eat, and then never have a chance to pause! ”

Miyoshi Masayasu gave such an order to the envoy (herald).

"Yes!"

Several envoys ran in different directions, and after a while, the black army sat down one after another, and there was still not much noise.

————————————————————————————————

The commander of the vanguard team is the famous brave general Iwanari Yutong, and he is also the lowest-ranking of the three. He walked at the forefront with 1,500 men under his command, taking on the dual work of forward and pathfinding.

Along the way, Iwanari Youtong's mood is very similar to that of Miyoshi Masaysu and Miyoshi Changyi, but he is more unwilling in his heart.

"Is this the end of the Miyoshi family?"

Every time I ask myself this, I only feel sad and inexplicable.

Unlike the other two guys in the three, Iwanari Yutong is not from his own big business. When he was young, he was just an inconspicuous local tyrant in Bigo Province, and to climb to today's position, he probably didn't pay less hard work than Matsunaga Hide. The people of the Miyoshi family all think that Iwasari Youtong is just a brave and less meticulous general. However, if you are really a person who is not meticulous enough, can you stand out from the thousands of low-ranking samurai?

Because of this, he was not as obsessed with the glory of the past as Miyoshi Nagaitsu and Miyoshi Masaysu - to put it more bluntly, the commander of this army, Iwasari Tomoto, was not in favor of a direct struggle with the emerging Oda family and the new shogun at this time.

"The daimyo in various places will not sit idly by and watch the Oda family enjoy this glory alone, and they will soon besiege it, and then they will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

However, he was really embarrassed to say these words to Changyi and Zhengkang. In fact, the two of them did not understand this truth, but they only wanted to defeat their opponents alone and re-establish the situation in which the Miyoshi clan dominated hegemony, and they were not willing to share the fruits of victory with other members as a member of the anti-Oda alliance.

No matter how you look at it, this kind of thinking is too presumptuous. Even if you are lucky enough to succeed once, it will attract countless more fierce attacks. At that time, what awaits Miyoshi's family will be several fierce battles, and as long as one of them fails, it is possible that they will never be able to return to the sky.

Another disturbing thing for Iwanari Yutsu is that his family members were separated during the hasty retreat, and there is no news so far, and it is unknown whether they may have fallen into the hands of the Oda family.

"Lord!"

Just as Iwasari was coming out of his mind, the panting thing saw that he crawled to the front of the horse.

"How?"

"The enemy army is about 1,000 people, the shogunate serves more than 100 people, Wakae is hundreds of people, and the rest are Owari people."

"Owari people? Who is the leader of the troops? ”

"Judging by the flag, it's a tie!"

Sure enough, it was him......

It was the wise general who exposed the location of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp by deception, so that the "first bow of Tokaido" died.

The gloom in Iwanari Yutsu's heart has increased by three points, and since he heard that Oda Nobunaga sent this person to stay behind, he has become vigilant. With Iwanari's thoughts, I'd rather go head-to-head with people like Sakuma and Shibata than meet this kind of guy who is good at using tricks.

"Did you see anything going on in the Matsunaga family?"

Iwanari then asked about Monomi.

"It's true that there is a banner of the Matsunaga family, but it doesn't seem that the military force is there."

Matsunaga Show! Another dangerous guy is also involved. Although this person is not good at battle formations, he can always use strange off-board moves, and he is also a headache for the enemy.

Iwanari Tomomici almost immediately had the idea of turning around and withdrawing his troops.

However, the Miyoshi Masaysu and Miyoshi Changyi in the back will definitely not agree, according to what they said in the military council before, even if it is a trap, they have to risk their lives.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through the vanguard general's mind. The cold embarrassment of youth, the vigor of youth, and the recent sudden decline. The shots that appear the most are the three of them working together sincerely to expand the territory of the three good families.

There is no time to hesitate.

"Well, let's take it as a thank you for the kindness of these two guys for many years!" Iwanari Youtong roared, pulled out his long knife, and swung it in the northeast direction:

"The traitors and the pseudo-generals are ahead, you will kill the enemy with me!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
