The night was as cold as water, and only the dim oil lamp was still struggling in the darkness. Tsukahara Moryu knelt in the inner room of Akita Castle, and beside him also knelt a young man, that is, Akita Ietada. And Akita Ieji and Tsukahara Buden sat upright on the chairman, looking at the two in front of them with complicated expressions.

After the grand contest passed, Akita Housekeeping and Tsukahara Ink Dragon announced that tonight's event was over and everyone could go back to rest, but Tsukahara Ink Dragon and Akita Ietashi were left behind, and led the two to the empty inner room.

Akita Ieji looked at Tsukahara Buchuan, then looked at the two in front of him, and sighed for a long time: "Molong, Jiazhong, some of the past should also let you know." ”

Past events? Akita Ietada's eyebrows were slightly raised, while Tsukahara Molong's expression remained unchanged, except for his eyes that were a little bright.

"The lord of the Akita family, Koyuki Ashikaga, set off a hurricane in Kanto after he returned to the world." Akita Ieji's eyes flashed with memories, as if he had returned to that bloody and bloody time. "His Royal Highness Kokushigaga almost empty-handed in the Kanto region of more than 20 thousand stones, under the command of the four major families, with him in the south and north war, made great achievements. And the governors of these four families are also known as the Four Heavenly Kings of Ashikaga. The Satomi family, the Ota family, the Masato Valley family, and our Akita family, when the governor of the Akita family, that is, my father Akita Nobuyi, ruled a territory of 30,000 koku, and during the first battle of Kokufutai, he and the lord led 3,000 people to defeat the 10,000 troops under the command of the Furukawa Gongfang, and then turned to a surprise attack on the flank of the Hojo Army. The blood of the killing flowed like a river, and the sun and the moon were without light. Akita Iezhong's body trembled: 30,000 stones? It's almost more than ten times the current one!

"What happened during the First World War?" Tsukahara Molong thought for a moment and asked, according to what Akita Ieji said, the situation is very good, how can he lose?

Akita Ieji smiled bitterly: "The Ota family, who is responsible for resisting the Hojo family's frontal offensive, is only 2,000 troops, but the opponent is as many as 13,000 people, almost dead and wounded, and is unable to contain its frontal offset......" Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Akita family: "At the beginning of this battle, the lord planned to defeat the Hojo family's army first. After all, the Hojo family is a guest army, and there is no need to fight to the death for the Furukawa Gongfang Palace. Therefore, the 3,500 troops of the Satomi family and the Maya Satoya family were ordered to be the army of the Furukawa Gongkata Hall first, and when they were gathering troops, Satomi Yoshiyao led the army to retreat first, causing the entire army of the Maya Satoya family to collapse, and the defeated army almost dispersed the troops that were preparing to launch an offensive against the Hojo Army, and the army of the Furukawa Gongkata Hall also came to cover up. When Akita said this, his arms trembled a little, but his eyes showed deep sadness.

"The lord and his father led the army to launch a counter-raid on the army of the Furukawa Gongfang Palace, and they simply defeated it. Ordered the Satomi family to go to support the Ota family, but unexpectedly Satomi Yoshiyao ...... He did not follow the order at all, but fled from the battlefield. In order to resist the Hojo family's army, the Ota family almost cut off this branch and was unable to contain it, causing the lord and father to fall into the siege of the Hojo family's army, and in the end, almost all of them were killed! Akita Ieji looked at Akita Ietada: "Your uncle, that is, my elder brother, also died in this battle. ”

Satomi Yoshiyao...... Could it be that some kind of deal was made with the Hojo family? Tsukahara Moryū couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard the words of the Akita family, and he had also heard about Satomi Yoshiyoshi taking away Ashikaga Yoshiaki's family and then burning down Little Bow Castle after Satomi Yoshiyoshi withdrew from the army, and the Hojo family did not pursue Satomi Yoshiyao...... That's a lot of fun.

Akita Ieji shook his head: "There is no evidence for this, so I can't say much." However, when Satomi Yoshiyao returned, he annexed the territory of Koyuki Ashikaga, the Matani family, and my Akita family, and after the expulsion of the main family, he was forced to take refuge in the Chiba family, and gradually obtained today's territory by virtue of his military exploits. ”

Akita Ietada's face showed resentment, and Tsukahara Molong's face was still calm, but he faintly felt something in his heart, was silent for a moment, and said with some difficulty: "Is the little bow ashikaga hall related to me?" ”

Tsukahara Buden nodded: "You are the son of Kobow Ashikaga Temple, and you were born before His Highness set out on the expedition. Your Highness asked Heiji to send you to me to raise you. ”

Rao is Tsukahara Molong is a glorious crossing party, and he can't be calm at the moment, it turns out that the cheap dad in my life is so powerful? So I'm still in a relationship with the Hojo family and my father's killer? The Akita family and the Satomi family are all my retainers? The sudden change of role made Tsukahara Moryū very uncomfortable.

Akita Ieji and Tsukahara Buden didn't speak, just looked at Tsukahara Molong silently, but the light in their eyes never dissipated.

After a long time, Tsukahara Molong let out a long breath and calmed down. But Akita Ieji slowly got up and knelt down in front of Tsukahara Molong, his voice trembling a little with excitement: "See the lord." Although Akita Ietashi was a little reluctant at the moment, he looked at his father and recalled the glory of the family under Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and also bowed down in front of Tsukahara Molong: "See the lord." ”

After Tsukahara Moryū sorted out the layers of relationships, the gaze that looked at Akita and his son also became a little hot, and then looked at the master's unsmiling expression, but the heat gradually cooled down. Reason gradually overwhelmed the initial excitement, and slowly spoke: "The Akita family still does not give up in the most difficult moment of the family, which makes Molong very moved, and will definitely reproduce the glory of the Akita family in the future." But now that Mo Long is young, I will travel the world with my master, and when I return, it will be the day when the Tang knife is unsheathed. ”

"Hah!" Akita father and son responded together, as for the issue of secrecy, Tsukahara Molong naturally did not have to worry. The Akita family lost the power struggle after the war and was deprived of the territory by the Satomi family, so the cheap big brother who was recruited by the Satomi family doesn't have to think about it, and the Hojo family and the Furukawa Ashikaga family also have a big feud with the Akita family, and his cheap father Ashikaga Yoshiaki just beat the Chiba family from a hegemon to a tragic situation where it can only be a corner of peace today. If the Akita family wants to rise again, they can only rely on themselves.

However, Tsukahara Molong knew very well that he had a few catties and taels, and at that time, his father was empty-handed to lay down a territory of 200,000 stones to let the various wealthy clans be loyal, what about himself? Will those old ministers obey themselves? Just look at the Takeda family after Takeda Shingen's death, which of the four ministers of Takeda is a first-class general, but Takeda Katsuyori did not move, which caused the monarch and the ministers to lose harmony, which seriously affected the cohesion and combat effectiveness. As for the Satomi family, not to mention, he directly annexed all his cheap father's territory, and now his eldest brother in the Satomi family is still eating rice worms and waiting to die.

In terms of ability, Tsukahara Moryū doesn't think that he is as fierce as his cheap father, and he dares to fight with 23,000 people with 10,000 people, if it weren't for the Satomi family to escape, I'm afraid that there will be nothing to do with the Hojo family in the future. As far as I know, in the first battle of the national government and Taiwan, although the Hojo family won, they were also greatly injured by the beating, and after recuperating for a period of time, they invaded the Satomi family, only to be easily beaten back by Satomi Yoshiyao. However, compared with the cheap father, the biggest advantage is that he still has a long way to go, as long as he gives himself time, Tsukahara Molong believes that he will grow to the extent that the world is shocked.
