Awawa is not the best port in Izumi Province, but it is the closest port to Awaji Island, and the distance between the sea and the sea is only 100 towns (11 km), so Hirate Honhide set up his outpost here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the bay, a large military station was erected with a radius of several hundred meters, which was expected to accommodate up to 15,000 soldiers and three months' supplies. The military flag of the Hirate family was flying over the camp, but there was no horse print to be seen, which indicated that the general himself was not here.

The retainer who served as the retainer of the battle was the general Iwanari Tomotomi, who temporarily stood in the main position. On the right are Kosai Naganobu and Matsuyama Shigeharu, and on the left are Yasudai Terada, Manabe Goro Uemon, and Awawa Shinbei. There were a total of seven hundred and twenty people in the battalion, and one thousand and fifty allied troops of the Hao clan.

On the other side is the reinforcements of this battle, the Shima pirates led by the Nine Demons Yoshitaka, one hundred and seventy large and small ships, and two thousand one hundred sailors. In this team, except for the nine ghosts themselves, who are like civilized people, they are all unsightly bull ghosts, snake gods.

Except for the necessary guards left behind, all the people who could be called samurai, according to the division of class positions, barely lined up, and stood together in the open flat area at the gate of the camp, waiting for the arrival of the general general.

Initially, these men were tasked with assembling, setting up camp, tidying up their boats, and preparing them to go.

However, it has been more than half a month since the order was received, and everything was ready, and even the Shima Navy rushed over Kii Beach as promised, but no new instructions came from above.

It seemed that the assembled army had been forgotten, and it took another three or four days of delay in Kishiwada Castle before he was late with the army.

This is really rude, especially since the Nine Ghosts Jialong is not his subordinate, not even Yoli, but is just temporarily seconded to help. Such a move should be deducted a little bit politically.

But after all, Tieshou Honshu is a big-body samurai with outstanding military achievements, prestige, and high power, and a little deduction of points is insignificant.

Today's garrison didn't wait much longer. Before the sun was in the middle of the day, a large group of people appeared in view.

At the head of the group were at least fifty military flags of different sizes and colors, followed by four phalanxes of spears and iron cannons, each of which was uniformly dressed and neatly colored. Behind them were the most neat soldiers with the brightest armor, as well as dozens of young samurai. Under the Tang umbrella bag held high in the crowd, a majestic knight riding a tall horse, wearing a southern barbarian body, navy blue array feather weaving, Huo Ran is the guardian of Hequan himself.

Walking to the front of the tent, Pingshou turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to the subordinates. Then, before everyone could react, the Nine Demons Yoshitaka took the lead and shouted loudly: "Shima Nine Demons Yoshitaka, see Kishiwada Hall!" ”

Kishi and Tian Dian, this word, is to refer to the character in the city, and can only be used on people of extremely high status. It's been a year since Fan Xiu became the owner of Izumi, and he hasn't been called like this, but today is the first time I've heard it, and I can't help but feel fresh.

Moreover, the one who called out this word was even the nine ghosts Jialong, who was extremely politically sensitive.

In the past, some colleagues had teased that even if Danzheng-sama farted in the city, the nine ghosts could immediately smell the smell from ten miles away. The words are a bit vulgar, but Hirate Tsunohide himself has experienced it, this person was obviously very humble in front of him when he first entered Oda, but Nobunaga revealed a little bit about the meaning of changing his retainer to be in charge of this line, and he immediately disappeared.

Therefore, the compliment of the Nine Ghosts Jialong just now made everyone present feel the change in status even more.

Tie Hyun Xiu reciprocated with reciprocal etiquette, and then put on a cordial gesture and said, "I'm tired of the Nine Ghosts." ”

At this time, other talents caught up one after another, Hirate Hideyoshi and Kawada Nagajin were responsible for arranging for the soldiers to be stationed, and other people with status were busy greeting each other. Fan Xiu put the Nine Ghosts Jialong first, followed by Sasa Chengzheng, who was the head of the force, and then the head of the important ministers and the countrymen, and the genealogy of more than 500 stone and the wealthy family of more than 1,000 stone were also named. The group then imposes appropriate etiquette on each other according to respect and humility.

It had been more than an hour since everything stopped. Without taking a break, the tie immediately summoned the relevant important people and announced that they would discuss the matter together. Although the crowd did not know why it had suddenly become so vigorous after a few days of procrastination, it was clear that no one would raise any objections.

So the occasion for speaking moved to the main general's Chinese army tent.

……

"It's for three days, it's for this."

With the words of the tie, a pleadings jointly signed by many people appeared in front of everyone.

On it, the names of many members of the Miyoshi family, such as Miyoshi Choji, Tokawa Storage, Ataka Nobuysu, and Miyoshi Choji, were signed, and they all promised that as long as Oda helped them overthrow Shinowara Nagabo, the Miyoshi family would surrender. They demanded that the Hirate first cooperate with Ataka to clear out the pro-Shinohara faction of Awaji, and then cross the sea to invade Shikoku, and then cooperate with the outside and work together.

The high-ranking generals present may have known in advance about the existence of Neiying. But most people didn't expect that the level of this internal response was so high.

The sovereign colluded with outsiders to crusade against his retainers, which sounds a bit absurd.

Hisho didn't seem to take this very seriously, didn't make any comments, just patted the table casually and asked, "What do you think?" Please also speak freely. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Sazuo Chengzheng couldn't help but speak straightforwardly: "We haven't seen the handwriting of these people before, so we can't judge its authenticity." ”

This made Numata Yumitsu, who was in charge of delivering the information, suddenly embarrassed, and he said with a bitter face: "Sasa-sama is right, the rest can indeed only be suspicious, but Ataka Nobuyasu is a person I have seen with my own eyes. ”

Yumitsu Numata is understandably unhappy. He was ordered to skip Awaji for a long time, thinking that he had received a certain amount of trust, but he didn't expect that the other party still found another channel and tried to contact Nobunaga directly, which made him feel a little aggrieved. Today, he encountered the doubts of Sazo Chengzheng, and defended himself immediately.

Seeing this, Hisho Tsunohide diverged and said, "Lord Iwanari has been in the Miyoshi family for many years in the past, can you testify to the authenticity of these handwritings?" ”

"I beg your pardon for not being able to do anything about it." Iwasei Youtong was expressionless, and slowly shook his head, "Although I have also been to Shikoku, all the affairs at that time were the letters of the director of Shinohara Nagafang, Changzhi and Depositor, and I have never seen it. ”

His answer made everyone feel a little depressed, but when it comes to important matters, you can't just talk about the atmosphere.

In this case, Tieshou Honhide couldn't let this dispute develop, but immediately made a decision in a firm tone: "In this way, the only one who can determine the authenticity of Antaku Nobuyasu is the only one, and the other names are worth studying again." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around again and asked politely to the Nine Ghosts Jialong, who had not yet spoken, "Lord Nine Ghosts, do you have anything else to add?" ”

"Ah, no, no." The general of the navy army waved his hands busily, "The wisdom of the Kishi and Tian Hall is a hundred times better than mine, and if you are worried about it instantly, I will have to think about it for a long time to understand." So before I came, the lord also instructed that everything should be according to your arrangement. ”

It's beautifully said, but the time and occasion are not right.

So Tie Tsunosu didn't feel happy in his heart. The military discussion is about life and death, so you should speak freely, as long as you say it correctly, even if you don't care about dignity and humility? This Nine Ghost Jialong, the political sensitivity is good, and the pattern is a little smaller.

But on the surface, he could only return the courtesy, and said politely: "The trust of the lord really makes me admire the five inner of the show, and I also want to thank the nine ghosts for such cooperation." ”

"Where, Where, ......"

Looking at the other party's expression, it seemed that he could continue to tout, but Fan Xiu pretended that the conversation was over, and skipped him to roll him down: "What do you think of Keiji (Hitei Hideyi)?" Just say it, the Zuo Zuo and the Nine Ghosts here are all your elders, so it doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing. ”

"Huh?" Keiji, who had always been distracted during meetings, was taken aback, and then quickly pretended to ponder for a while, and replied: "Report to my uncle, I see that the 'Miyoshi eldest heir' in the list seems to be the grandson of Miyoshi Changyi, this guy didn't have a sense of existence before, and this time he actually appeared here, which means that the matter may be related to Miyoshi Changyi." Legend has it that Shinohara's Nagabo imprisoned or killed Miyoshi Nagayi, and perhaps Miyoshi's family gathered to rebel because of this. But Shinohara is in power, and the people are not opponents, so they turn to the family for help......"

Fan Xiu nodded when he heard this, although this answer may not be very clever, but it is also rare for Qingci, a slacking person who does not like to use his brain. And at a glance, I know who the "three good eldest heirs" are, and he has obviously done his homework, which is worthy of praise.

I was going to take the role of my uncle and give a few words of encouragement. The Nine Ghosts Jialong on his side spoke up again: "Oh, the Hiteite clan is really knowledgeable, I haven't found a clue for a long time, but I didn't expect the little Heite Hall to be able to see it clearly." ”

Fan Xiu was a little speechless, his brows furrowed slightly at a very shallow angle, but the nine ghosts seemed to notice it immediately, so he didn't talk much nonsense and stopped talking.

Back to the topic, it was the turn of Dr. Yasuda Terada to speak according to his status.

Although this person has a strong desire for power and has a very low temperament, he is not stupid, and he also knows that he cannot talk nonsense on important occasions, so he makes an honest gesture and says: "I really dare not speak falsely about such a big thing." However, in the next few days, I have met some tourists and businessmen from Shikoku, and I heard them say that there are indeed serious differences within the Miyoshi family, and even the lowest Ashigaru is divided into two camps, and they don't buy each other. ”

His words were not nutritious, but they supported Keiji's reasoning, so the latter patted him on the shoulder without notice, showing his friendliness.

Honshu smiled at Terada and nodded, signaling that what he said helped. Then he winked again, and silently ordered Kawada Nagajin to talk to Honda Masanobu.

These two people are direct ministers of the Heite family, so except for the messenger Numata Yumitsu, they are the lowest status, and it is not easy to speak without permission.

After receiving the secret instructions, Kawada Naga immediately expressed his opinion: "Report to the lord, and the subordinates think that what Lord Hideyi said is very reasonable. However, because it is too organized, it is possible that the enemy deliberately misled us into thinking so. It is not surprising that there is a gap between Miyoshi and Shinohara Nagafu; But asking my family for help is quite unusual. First of all, since they say that Shinohara is powerful and covers the sky with one hand, how did this letter come out smoothly? This is the biggest contradiction. Furthermore, from a logical point of view, if they are really exhausted, it will not help us to attack Shinohara, so it is better to bypass them and attack alone. If they still have some strength, they shouldn't give in so easily. In the end, even if the three good ones are sincerely surrendered, they have not promised any practical content, and they are only nominal submissions, which is not enough. ”

A long string of words suddenly reflects Kawada's character of being thoughtful, cautious, and more inclined to fight in the army, and disliking intrigue and trickery.

In any case, this insight is always clearly much stronger than Keiji's. But this guy Qingci didn't feel embarrassed at all, but slapped his face and cheered softly: "It is worthy of being my uncle's chief retainer." ”

Honxiu ignored him and turned his gaze straight to the last person in the tent, right in the eyes of Masanobu Honda.

The latter stood up and saluted, with a humble posture, but his face was full of confidence, and he said slowly: "At present, there is not enough information to determine the true intentions of An Zhai and the others. It is not important to speculate on their hearts, but to see the conditions behind their actions and to decide what we should do. ”

Fan Xiu was overjoyed in his heart, and deliberately frowned and asked unhappily: "Don't make a fool of yourself!" What do you think you should do? ”

Honda Masanobu did not panic, and said in a low voice: "Hit the grass and startle the snake, and take the sheep by the hand." ”

"Uh-huh......" Hisho Honhide was silent, but his demeanor and tone had already revealed his attitude. In Fan Xiu's heart, no matter how many doubts there are in the pleadings, it is always a fact that there are contradictions within the other party, and it is a pity not to use them. And by the way......

After listening to the two idioms from the "Thirty-six Strategies" in Honda Masashi's words, Iwasari Yutong immediately understood why he was selected as a pioneer general. Out of the obsession that he had always wanted to "repay his kindness", he immediately stood up and bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Kishi and Tian Dian!" In the next Bucai, I am willing to go to the grass and lead the sheep for you. ”

The title of Kishi and Tian Hall can be regarded as starting from the nine ghosts, and it is officially called. The draw was still a little uncomfortable, but he didn't have time to think about it, but immediately approved Iwanari Tomoto's request for battle: "Then Iwanari-sama will lead the troops to take the lead and find out." ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept away, and Honda Masanobu showed the satisfaction of being adopted after the counselor's proposal; Kawada thought for a moment and then pretended to be abrupt; Dr. Yasuda Terada opened his mouth half-open, looking completely unintelligible; Nine Ghost Jialong's face was full of smiles, and he didn't know if he listened to it or not; Sasa Seimasa frowned, constantly switching between contemplation and gain; As for Keiji's goods, it's so distracted......
