Chapter 31: The Old Men Meet

"Tosa's Nagamune Ibu Motojin sent 7,000 troops to attack Awa? Attacked the traditional heartland of the Miyoshi family? ”

"Shinohara Nagabo led 12,000 people to come back to help? Only five or six thousand people were left as the broken queen? ”

"Miyoshi Hinata Mamoru (Changyi) decided to take the opportunity to defect? Assist our army in exterminating the Nishisanuki people and pursue Shinohara Nagabo? ”

This is not the first time that I have received an internal messenger from Miyoshi Changyi, but I have never felt so excited about it before. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The continuous good news made Iwasari Tomochi and others, who were worried about the water source unable to eat and sleep at night, suddenly change their mood one hundred and eighty degrees.

The seemingly huge and menacing enemy army outside the city had only appeared in front of them for less than two days, and most of them disappeared in a hurry!

The relationship between the strength and weakness of offense and defense, and the continuous changes in a short period of time, can only make people feel the ups and downs of the world, which is too thrilling.

In fact, standing on the high turret inside the city, an hour ago, you could see that there was obviously abnormal movement in the camp tent outside the city, and it seemed that a large-scale transfer or assembly was being carried out. Nearly 20,000 people walked around, and the dust raised could make people ten miles away cough.

However, the Pingshou army in the city was still in a state of grass and trees, and regarded this as a precursor to the siege, thinking that the other side was transporting some large siege equipment, so they put on their full equipment, waited for the day, and prepared for battle seriously. After all, the city is facing the problem of water sources, and it is most afraid of a long-term siege, so it is eager to fight quickly.

At that time, after a brief discussion of this, the general was very pessimistic. It is believed that the enemy forces outside the city are just deliberately posturing, so that the law has to wear armor all the time in this hot June day, so as to consume more water. In this regard, Iwanari DFI had to move out of the tie again, temporarily suppress the dissenting opinions, and try to solve a little problem.

After several hours of meticulous "inspections" and "drug tests", it was probably concluded that the underground veins of many wells in the vicinity were connected, and that they might have been affected by poisoning. However, there is also a very remote wellhead, which seems to be probably relatively safe and will not be too much of a problem.

Iwanari DFI personally made the certification, and took the initiative to drink three bowls of clean water from this well, as a way to show his attitude and stabilize morale. However, the ratio of 5,000 people sharing a well is also very frustrating, and the queue scene is more spectacular than the most sought-after goods in Kaimachi.

And Iwanari Youtong gradually began to feel uncomfortable in his stomach, but he just held on and didn't say anything......

At this time, Tosa's Nagazong and my head relatives can be said to be a charcoal in the snow, solving the urgent need.

In retrospect, it is true that the tents of the besieging army suddenly calmed down after a period of noise, and even the figures began to be noticeably scarce, which was the trace of the concealment of the withdrawal.

Although I don't know why this person did this, the moment I saw the information, Iwanari Yutong was full of gratitude for the name.

Of course, as a commander, he didn't dare to take anything lightly, on the one hand, he arranged for people to go out to investigate, and on the other hand, he also made a smile indifferently, and asked the envoy: "Miyoshi Hinata Mamoru (Changyi) asked me to wait together to attack the people of the broken West Sanuki Kingdom, this matter could not be better." I don't know when to leave, and what is the number? ”

Of course, he did not question in front of the messenger, but tried it by rhetorical questioning.

The other party's statement may sound reasonable, but who knows if there will be any traps? But you can't ignore it.

The envoy Miyoshi Nagatoshi didn't seem to hear the suspicion in his words at all, and replied very blandly: "I'm just a junior who delivers a message, don't dare to make decisions randomly, you can discuss these things with Lord Hinata in person." ”

"In person?" Iwanari couldn't help frowning.

"Exactly." Miyoshi Nagatoshi said firmly, "Lord Hinata Mamoru would like to find a place to meet you in the middle of the two military formations. The exact location is up to you. ”

Do you want to meet Miyoshi Changyi?

Yan Cheng Youtong closed his eyes, hesitated for a moment, the look of hesitation flashed, and he opened his eyes firmly and said: "This is very good, there is an abandoned small monastery on the east side of the city, how about bringing twenty people from each side to meet?" ”

……

The first meeting of the group was during the Astronomical (1532-1555) period, when the name of the Three Men did not exist.

At that time, Miyoshi Changyi was still an important minister who had not yet arrived, and he was known for his ability and ruthlessness, and he followed the head of the family, Changqinggong, to Shancheng Province to investigate an incident of tax arrears and embezzlement of public funds.

At that time, the nine suspected village heads and acting officials were all tied up indiscriminately and tied to the tent for questioning, all of them were depressed, sweating like pulp, and unable to speak. Only a poor young samurai stood up, with a fearless face, and spoke up, saying that this method would only create an unjust case, and would not help to find out the truth.

Changqing Gong did not speak, but Sanhao Changyi disdained and angrily reprimanded him, saying something like "What do you know as a mere unknown", but he didn't want the young man to calmly tell an analysis, pointed out the culprit, and also came up with tangible evidence that the other eight people had minor faults and did not commit serious crimes.

This made the "dragon face" of the prince of Changqing happy, and immediately remembered the name of this young samurai and appointed him as the governor of the town and the temple. Miyoshi Changyi was also impressed, treated each other politely, and solemnly made a visit.

This is the first time that the name Iwanari Tomotsu has appeared on the stage of history.

Next, he crisscrossed between Kaimachi, Kyoto, and Ishiyama Gobo, and fought in the north and south to Shirabaikawa, Takaya Castle, and Kyokoji Temple, and gradually became a prince who managed half of the country and commanded thousands of troops as an unknown country samurai. Compared with the Matsunaga Xiu brothers, who are on the rise, they are only half a step away.

More than 20 years have passed in a flash, and now it is really ......

Although there are thousands of emotions, but I don't know where to start, I only think about the four words "vicissitudes of life".

Iwacheng Youtong looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face of the visitor, sighed lightly, and said quietly: "Hinata Shou, don't come unharmed?" ”

And Miyoshi Changyi stared straight for a long time, and then replied astringently: "The old man is very safe, and he doesn't worry about it." It's just that I think of those wall grasses that tend to be inflammatory, and I can't sleep on both sides. ”

Seeing this, Iwasaki Youtong could only smile bitterly and shake his head, speechless.

Miyoshi Changyi's face was as usual, but his body clearly showed disappointment and anger.

After only two sentences, there was silence for a while.

The squeaky cicadas outside the ruined temple are particularly harsh.

On a summer afternoon, there was no wind, but I was still wearing a full suit of formal clothes, and the air was unpleasantly stuffy.

As a politician who has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, Miyoshi Nagayi thinks that he has completely put his temperance out of the way. In this world, in addition to the late Changqing Gong, there are only his own children and grandchildren, three or four old ministers, and a few colleagues.

And the person in front of him was one of those few people before.

So he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know Oda Danmasa, who is it?" ”

The implication is that if you give in for the sake of your own life or your family's life, then it's fine. But now you're helping the enemy attack the old one! What is the magic of the new owner that makes you work so hard?

On the other hand, it is also equivalent to a straightforward admission that the so-called "surrender to Oda and crusade against Shinohara" is only a temporary measure, and there is no sincerity at all.

When the words landed, Iwasari Yutong couldn't help but sigh lightly, and told the truth: "The contemptible people haven't known much about Oda Danmasa, and they only know that the Tieshou Prison is a first-class hero in the world. ”

"Huh?" Miyoshi Changyi was shocked, and then turned into ridicule, "Is it just a generation of Izumi guardians?" ”

As a person who once took charge of the territory of the three or four countries in Kinai, he is indeed qualified to say so.

In his eyes, no matter how he is, he is just a "powerful stinky boy", even if he can't get along in the future and wants to surrender, he can only surrender to Oda Nobunaga.

But Iwanari Yutong was not ashamed at all, but emphasized that "Oda Danmasa may just be due to luck, and he may not be able to have the world in the future." But the Tie Prison does have an extraordinary quantity, and it is not much inferior to Changqing Gong. ”

"Ridiculous!" Miyoshi Changyi was furious when he heard this.

Who is Changqing Gong? A man of great talent! In ancient and modern times, only a character like Kamakura Hall (Minamoto Yorito) can be compared, so what is a flat hand show, how can it be seen equally?

He couldn't calm down any longer, Teng Teng got up, laughed angrily, and asked, "Then you should tell me well, what is so powerful about this guy?" ”

Iwanari Yutong still sat upright, took out the bamboo tube from his arms, took a sip of water, and then replied slowly: "Lord Hinatamoru, although you said that you were detained, you were not completely restricted, right?" I guess I also know that Shimonoden (Miyoshi Masayasu) escaped! ”

"Not bad. But what does that have to do with what you just said? In the face of this old friend who knows the roots, Miyoshi Changyi is unashamed.

"But you definitely don't know that Shimonoden should have been captured, but I let it go."

"What? Don't! It's not going to be—"

"Exactly, Heite Prison Lord, as a 'take' for the Miyoshi family, privately agreed to let Shimonoden go. Of course, on a different occasion, I would not admit that I said it. ”

“…… Is it the main tax (Iwanari Yutsu) your plea? ”

"Yes, after I pleaded, it didn't take long for Lord Pingshou to agree."

“…… Incomprehensible! Is it the kindness of a woman? ”

"You haven't experienced the means of equalizing the prison things, but is there a half-soft point? Since he was willing to let go of the Lower Wild Hall so easily, it showed that in his heart, a person like the Lower Wild Hall was not a big trouble at all! Such a temperament, forgive me for being lonely and unheard, except for Changqing Gong, I have never seen a third person. ”

Miyoshi Changyi was silent, and only after a long time did he mutter: "It seems that your mind has been set and you will not waver anymore." ”

Iwacheng Youtong nodded without hesitation, and said solemnly: "In order to repay the grace of Changqing Gong, if I have spare strength in the future, I will try my best to preserve the bloodline and family name of the Miyoshi family." ”

That's it, why more? Miyoshi Changyi closed his eyes, as if he had suddenly become extremely tired, and said softly: "It's time for us to talk about the next battle." ”

Before this trip, Changyi didn't expect to see each other once to be of any use, but he didn't ask the old guy in person why he joined the enemy, and he didn't see the old man's choice with his own eyes, and his heart was always difficult to accept and settle down. This is the little bit of truth left in his heart.

Now that I have seen it and confirmed it, it is enough to completely die.

Tie Tunxiu, it is indeed a masterpiece! Miyoshi Zhengyasu, a talented man with both civil and military qualifications and extraordinary talent, can actually be regarded as a disease of scabies. In order to subdue Iwanari Yutong's loyalty, he easily let the tiger return to the mountain - maybe in that guy's eyes, this is not a tiger at all, just a jackal.

Miyoshi Changyi has no doubts about the vision of an old friend, Iwanari Yutong. In just a few words, he was convinced that Tie Sho was a formidable enemy.

But even so, the plan that has been established cannot be changed.

Without him, the way of the husband, life is not five tripod food, death is also five tripod cooking ear!
