The way of civil and martial arts, one by one.

In the past two years, Hitetsu has been fighting against Uesugi, Takeda, and Mori in a row, and he has been quite tired up and down. Now that is tentative, it is just the right time to take a break from the grand event of the Yuan Change.

At least that's what he thinks.

However, with so many relatives, direct retainers and external forces under his command, not everyone has this kind of surplus in their hearts. Some are because of natural hard work, some are because of unsuccessful fame, and another is to think that the mountain is fortunate to be like this, the sad wish in my heart has not been completed, and there is not a day when I am not exhausted and sleepless.

Most people read it in Kyoto in January, and it's essential that Izumo no Ka, as a famous character, has to show his face every day.

Because the head of their nun's family, Katsuhisa, was born in the Shu clan, was too young, and he became a monk since childhood, it is easy to despise Yamanaka Yukimori, as well as several other important ministers, such as Tachihara Hisatsuna, Shenxi Mototsu, Kamei Ziju, etc., all spent a lot of effort to participate in socializing, making friends, and building relationships, and trying to contribute to the revival plan.

I never thought that these guys also took the opportunity to do private work, and I don't know when they did it.

At the end of the month, Yamanaka Yukimori excitedly asked for a meeting, and privately reported to Hirate Tsunohide: "Thanks to the efforts of the bereaved ministers, more information about the enemy has been discovered!" I just learned that Nanjo Munekatsu, the lord of the Hae-robi Stone Castle of Boqi Kingdom, died a year ago, and his son's name is Nanjo Motosu, who has always had different ambitions and has a problem with the Maori family. We already have a righteous man who has lurked in the city and reached a tacit understanding with the other party. If you give us the right support, you will be able to do it! ”

His tireless spirit of making trouble for the Maori family is admirable, and most importantly, it is not just empty words that he can really be found.

However, after hearing this plan, Hirata Honxiu did not agree very much, and questioned: "If I want to send troops to Boqi, I need to go through Tanba, Tajima, and Inaba first, and these places are not in my hands!" ”

Yamanaka Yukimori replied angrily: "You don't need to bother your army, as long as you give you the support of fame and materials, you will be contemptible...... No, it's all of us Nizi Revival Army, who are willing to go deep behind enemy lines by water, go to the soup and fire, and fight a decisive battle with the Maori family! ”

Tieshou Fanxiu still felt unreliable, shook his head in denial, and explained carefully: "This matter is too risky, I will never doubt it." However, such precious courage should be used where it is more worthwhile. According to what you said, if you go to Boqi by water, and then plot against the Nanjo clan, how many troops can you gather? Five thousand? Seven thousand? Seven thousand is probably the upper limit. As far as I know, the total strength of the San'in Army is around 15,000, and it is very easy for Mori Terumoto and Kobayakawa Takakei to work together to send 10,000 or 20,000 reinforcements. With such a huge contrast, even if you are a peerless brave, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn the situation around. ”

This is purely out of sincerity, cherishing the hero of "Izumo no Deer", not the usual falsification.

Hearing this, Yamanaka Yumori bowed his head and was silent, as if he was moved.

Seeing that the tie was quite relieved, he thought that his words were not in vain, so he wanted to signal the other party to retreat.

Suddenly, Yamanaka Yumori raised his head suddenly, his eyes bloomed with a blazing light, and he said: "What Lord Da Nayan said is very true, going deep into Boqi to plot revival is indeed a matter of nine deaths and one life, and there are many auspicious things. I believe that with your kindness, even if our family does not take this risk, we will still be rewarded with land in the future. From the perspective of profit, it really shouldn't be so urgent. ”

His tone was resolute and sincere.

The tie didn't interrupt and listened patiently.

Obviously, there will be a twist after what I said just now, and the content behind the twist is very curious.

Obviously he has received the assistance and promise of the strong, why bother to fight to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire?

"But-" Yamanaka Yukimori paused for a moment, and finally said what he really thought in his heart: "If it is revived in this way, then the history books of later generations will record that the former retainers of the Nizi family have been defeated many times, and in the end they still failed to regain their territory, and only relied on the blessings of the people of the world to get a new life." That's not something we're happy to see. Forgive me for being arrogant, the record that the contemptible people prefer to see is: After several struggles, the old ministers of the Nizi family finally gained a firm foothold in the victory obtained by desperate sacrifice, and then they were recognized by the people of the world before they were reborn. ”

Pingshou Fan Xiu quickly understood what he meant, sighed, nodded and said quietly: "There is indeed a considerable difference between the two. Now I seem to understand why there are so many famous families in the decline of the Fuso nations, but there is only one deer in Izumo. ”

"I beg your Excellency to forgive me for my rudeness!" Yamanaka Yumori turned to a kneeling posture and buried his head deeply: "I believe that all the discerning people have seen that the troubled times will end in your hands, so there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to prove courage with blood." Against the backdrop of your tens of thousands of iron horsemen, the strength of our mere Nizi Revival Army is really insignificant. But the contemptible people hope to leave a story for future generations to pass on, even if all the jade is broken, thousands of years later, people can still experience the same passionate feelings when they talk about this story! ”

"What a strong man!" The flat hand showed unconsciously clapped his hands in admiration.

Having said that, it is clear that there is no room for refusal, and there is no need to refuse.

"At first, I thought that the sword should not be unsheathed at will, lest it be damaged needlessly. But after listening to your words, I realized that if it has never been unsheathed and has always been shelved, then what is the difference between the so-called treasure knife and a piece of firewood? Tie Fan Xiu sighed so emotionally.

Yamanaka nodded slowly but resolutely in complete agreement.

"Then I wish your army a victory in Boqi Banner." Feeling unwilling to talk nonsense, he ordered his attendant to fetch the nearest drink, poured two cups slowly, took one for himself, raised his head and drank it all, and handed the other cup to the only "Izumo deer" in the nation, waved his hand and smiled: "This will be counted as a grand gift!" If you have any supplies and money and food needs, go directly to Ina Hanzaemon, I will say in advance, as long as it is not too troublesome, I will help you solve it! ”

"The deep kindness of Lord Nayan, the contemptible people and the entire Nizi family, admire it in their hearts, and they will definitely repay it with a straw ring!" Yamanaka Yumori bowed again, solemnly took the wine with both hands, and poured it into his throat without pause, then turned and walked away quickly.

Looking at the back that gradually disappeared, Hisho Tsusui fell into deep thought.

Indeed, as Yamanaka Yukimori said, the momentum of the world's pacification and reunification can be seen by people of insight, and at this critical moment, most people are concerned about who will win and who will define "orthodoxy" in the future. If you can't be the victor, then choose to be the winner's relatives, friends, subordinates, vassals, or at least stand as close as possible, only in this way can you save your life, your family's name, your territory, your city, and everything around you.

However, when later generations read historical materials on the scale of a hundred years and a thousand years, who won and who lost, and who was right and who was wrong, had become a cloud of the past, and they were all laughed about. On the contrary, it is those who are heroic losers who are more likely to arouse admiration and sympathy.

Minamoto Yorito, Ashikaga Sonji, and the original history of Tokugawa Ieyasu will occupy the largest and most prominent positions in mainstream history textbooks, while Minamoto Yoshitsune, Kusunoki Masanori, and Sanada Yukimura under Osaka Castle will be molded as spiritual icons by folk ideology.

Different people have different demands, and I hope everyone can take what they need.

After a moment of silence, suddenly Kyogoku Takayoshi and Takeda Motoaki respectfully met together, saying that they had each created a poem describing this year's New Year rally and singing the praises of the good times of the current peaceful and happy land, hoping to present it to the eyes of the Daisho Nayan, and get authoritative guidance and evaluation.

The words and deeds of the two of them, saying that it is "servile and flattering" may be a bit excessive, after all, writing poetry is also a serious matter, and Pingshou Fanxiu has a reputation for elegant people, and it is not outrageous to ask him to taste poetry.

But in any case, it is an incomparably stark contrast to Yumori Yamanaka, who has just left.

At this time, a trace of disdain was uncontrollable in his heart, but at the same time, he felt quite relaxed.

Just the opposite.

When I saw Yamanaka Yumori just now, I had to admire my statement, but the atmosphere was heavy and depressing, and it was a little uncomfortable.

Blessed to the soul, Pingshou Fanxiu suddenly murmured: "If it is all that kind of person, how can I win the world!" But if it's all this kind of person, it's not interesting to win the world. ”

"What do you command?" Kyogoku Takayoshi and Takeda Motoaki didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." Hijo waved his hand, restrained his mood, and devoted his spirit to the elegant activity of appreciating poetry.
