When I returned to my residence that night, after eating the dinner that was already cold, Kenmasa Asai, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Lord Yuqiu, if you don't dislike it, I would like to be a righteous brother with my lord." I don't know what adults think? ”

"Huh!" Yu Qiuping was taken aback, "Why did Asai-sama say this?" The adult is the young master of the Asai family, and he is just a general, how can he climb high? ”

"It's not about identity, it's just like-minded." Kenmasa Asai shook his head, "That Maeda-sama is just a ronin now, isn't it true that Yuqiu-sama didn't recognize him because of his identity?" ”

"Besides," Kenmasa Asai smiled bitterly, "The Asai family is withering, is the young master of the Asai family really having a higher status than the Imagawa family's subordinate generals of the famous Tokaido family now?" ”

"In any case, I hope you agree." Kenmasa Asai suddenly bowed down, "The words of Lord Yuqiu before made me enlighten in the next Daigo, and the mouth suddenly opened. I understand that the righteousness that has always been upheld in the following class is not meaningless, and I also understand the way to break through the darkness in troubled times. It's a difficult road, but as a samurai, it's the path I will practice for the rest of my life. I would like to walk side by side with Lord Yuqiu and Lord Matsushita and work hard for the good in their respective homes. ”

"It's an honor to be a brother with an adult." In the various Japanese Sengoku games in his previous life, Asai Nagamasa has always been a favorite historical figure of Yu Qiuping. may be because he married Ah Shi, and he is an enviable fairy couple. And because he always looks like a stunned righteous samurai in the game, people are particularly fond of it.

"I don't know the age of Lord Yuqiu?" Kenmasa Asai asked.

"18 years old." Yu Qiuping replied.

"Under 15 of the year." After Asai Kenmasa finished speaking, he gave Yuqiu a big salute to his brother, "Brother, please advise." In the future, please call Shinkuro or Kenmasa. ”

"Very good, Shinkuro." Having said that, it is not good to be hypocritical. Yu Qiuping helped up Kenmasa Asai, "Let's work together for the righteousness of the world." ”

"After the adult, you can also call it in the lower half of the guard." Matsushita also spoke.

"Then please also call Matsushita-sama Momiji." Yu Qiuping smiled, "Speaking of which, I'm from the Ming Kingdom, and I'm not very familiar with your way of naming me." Isn't there a lot of repetition of your young names? ”

"For example, what kind of Jilang or something, I remember that the young name of His Royal Highness the Judge Yoshitsune is also Jiulang?" Yu Qiuping pondered, "And that kind of guard, what Chiyo, I've seen a lot of it." Among my subordinates, Sanada Masayuki is called Kibei, Naoe Tadahei is called Kinbei, and Matsushita-sama is called Hanbei. Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and asked, "Speaking of which, Banbei, you are from Mino, have you ever heard of the name of Hanbei in Takenaka?" ”

"Is that Minong's Kirin? I've heard about it below. "Kenmasa Asai also came to the spirit," it seems that it is also in this place of Nishiminon. ”

"That lord has never met you before." Panasonic shook his head lightly.

"It is said that this man is very talented in the art of war," said Kenmasa Asai with a smile, "and some people say that even if this man is a first-time soldier, he can command an army of nearly 10,000 people." ”

"That must be an exaggeration." Matsushita shook his head lightly, "How can there be such a genius?" ”

On June 28, the group traveled all the way west and arrived at Sekigahara to rest in the afternoon. Kenmasa Asai was about to return to Kotani Castle, so naturally he wanted to go with everyone. And Panasonic also said that he wanted to travel abroad and walk with Yuqiu and others.

After arriving in Sekigahara, originally Sena wanted to find a place to rest. But Yu Qiuping insisted on asking to go to Matsuo Mountain to have a look. Sena Toshitoshi couldn't resist Yu Qiuping's intentions, so he let himself run to Matsuo Mountain with a few people. Standing on the top of the mountain, Yu Qiuping has a bird's-eye view of the magnificent battlefield that will determine Japan's belonging 40 years from now.

Mt. Drawo in the northwest will be Ishida Mitsunari's home camp in the future. A little to the south, Mt. Tenman, will be the military base of the loyal Ukita Hideya. Nangong Mountain, far away in the northeast, will become the place where the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, the god of Sekigahara, ate lunches for most of the day. The Taopei Mountain in the northwest of Nangong Mountain is where Tokugawa Ieyasu's horse seal is located.

However, what really made the Battle of Sekigahara world-famous was Mt. Matsuo at the foot of Umakihira. Forty years later, there will be a fierce general who regards the eastern and western armies as chickens and dogs, and who sells his head and sets up a position here. His actions determined the ownership of the entire world, and it can be said that the safety of the whole of Japan depended on one person. Whether it is Tokugawa Ieyasu who has been fighting all his life, or Ishida Mitsunari, who is brave and good at fighting, Honda Tadatsu, who is unparalleled in the world, and Otani Yoshitsugu, who is loyal and courageous, the fate of most of the heroes in the world is in his hands. Hundreds of thousands of Ashigaru who fought each other in Sekihara all set their sights on Matsuo Mountain.

That person is - 550,000 stone daimyo of Chikugo Province, the governor of the Kobayakawa family, Jin Wuzhong Nayan, swept 100,000 Western troops in the Battle of Sekigahara, and the head of the three gods of Sekigahara - the god of war Kobayakawa Hideaki!

Yu Qiuping slowly spilled a glass of wine into the dirt on the mountain, and then bowed reverently.

"God of War! This is to you! Yu Qiuping said excitedly.

At this time, Maeda Toshiya and the others who were standing on the side looked at each other, not knowing what Yu Qiuping must have come here to do—of course they didn't understand the obsession of a traverser.

"Brother, he... But what relatives are buried here? Kenmasa Asai asked, puzzled.

"Not really." Sanada Masayuki shook his head, "Look at the excited look in the eyes of the adults, how can it be that they are paying tribute to the undead?" ”

"My lord is from the Ming Kingdom, and I have only been in Japan for two years, and I came alone, and I have no relatives." Keitori Amano explained. As soon as he spoke, Matsushita beside him turned his head lightly, and seemed to be very reluctant to listen to him.

"You know, my little brother has a strange disease." Maeda Toshiie thought for a long time and said, "It seems that when he sees a particular person or place name, he gets very excited. ”

"For example, the first time he saw me before, he was as excited as if I was famous." Maeda Toshiya scratched his head, "When I saw my father-in-law, I was very excited to run to the bottom of the Danxia Barrier, just to take a look at my father-in-law." ”

"And also," Maeda Toshiya patted Kenmasa Asai on the shoulder, "I don't know why that kid was so excited when he saw you. ”

"What do you feel excited about?" Kenmasa Asai asked puzzled.

"Just like that!" Maeda Toshiieyang pointed at Yu Qiuping. The latter was pouring wine on the ground, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"It's... Strange pathologies. Panasonic sighed lightly.

After leaving Sekigahara, the group continued to Kotani Castle. On the way, the caravan also encountered several armies that the Asai family was mobilizing. The armament of the army was on a similar level as that of the Owari Oda family, with most ashigaru having only bamboo and leather armor, and a few ashigaru and samurai having sufficient. But the mental outlook of the troops is obviously not good, not to mention the Imagawa family, even the Oda family and the Saito family may not be comparable, one by one listless, walking on the road as if they were dealing with errands. The marching ranks were loose, the ashigaru were talking to each other, and the samurai leading the group were not restrained.

When Kenmasa Asai saw his army, he sighed helplessly.

"My family's troops were originally a strong force that dared to fight." Kenmasa Asai said to Akihei Yu, "Ever since I was defeated by the Rokkaku family in the battle of Takanomiya and forced to surrender, I have always been lifeless. The virtuous character in my name is also given by the hexagonal righteous sage. The wife under him is only a retainer of the Hexagonal family, which is really a great humiliation. ”

"Then Jiulang, did you admit defeat too?" Yu Qiuping said excitedly.

"How is that possible!" After all, he is a hot-blooded boy, and Kenmasa Asai immediately clenched his fists and said, "I will never give in to the Rokkaku family in my life!" ”

"When I can take over the family business, I will definitely train the troops day and night, and one day I will seek back the dignity of the Hexagonal family and regain the lost land!" Kenmasa Asai shouted. Kenmasa Asai's gaze towards the south seemed to be able to breathe fire, and a vigorous burning battle intent made several people around him look sideways.

"It's just that with the current strength of the Asai family, I'm afraid it's difficult to compete with the Rokkaku family." Maeda Toshiie pointed out, "Whether it is the territory or the combat power of the army, I am afraid that there is a certain gap with the Rokkaku family." ”

"The most important thing is the army." Sanada Masayuki said, "As long as there is a strong army, the territory is just dead, and it can be taken over." It's just that the Asai family is currently in disarray and the army has no fighting spirit, but it's not a good sign. ”

"Father seems," said Kenmasa Asai with some humiliation, "there is no intention of resisting anymore, and he is willing to submit to the Rokkaku family." It's really... It's hard to accept... I don't even care about the army..."

Although Sena Shijun, who had been silently listening to everyone's conversation, did not comment, his heart was as clear as a mirror. He frowned slightly, thinking about something.

"If Jiulang is committed to strengthening the army, I do have some training methods for you to learn from." Yu Qiuping said.

"But the method of training a strong army with 200 against 6000!" Kenmasa Asai suddenly boiled with enthusiasm, "I hope my brother will give me advice!" ”

Yu Qiuping nodded awkwardly. He has always felt that 200 against 6000 or something is completely taken out of context. In the previous two attacks, the number of people invested by the Oda army was about the same as his own. When Oda Nobunaga personally commanded the siege, Chitatsu Castle might not be able to hold out even for a morning.

And Yu Qiuping trained troops. It's also after keeping Zhili. The battle array he is really proud of is the battle of Shanzhao Temple - but in this battle, Chang Panbei's performance was overshadowed by the good deeds of sending food to the enemy after Yu Qiuping.

He asked for the military law regulations and military training regulations he had compiled before from Amano Keide, and handed them to Asai Kenmasa, "Jiulang, you can use them for reference, these are my experiences." ”

"Hanwen?" Kenmasa Asai asked with some surprise after turning the first page.

"Yes." Yu Qiuping nodded and said with a smile, "In my Changpanbei, daily words and orders are written in Chinese. ”

On June 29, the group arrived at the castle town of Otani Castle. Sena Shijun asks Kenmasa Asai to inform him on his behalf and meet the head of the Asai family, Hisamasa Asai. When discussing the Imagawa family's Kamiraku, they borrowed the Asai family's territory as a road to attack the Rokkaku family.
