On May 6, the thirteenth year of astronomy, on the way back to Tsugawa Castle, Soji Tsukawa received a letter from Yoshikei Komura, and Tsugawa Castle was defended!

The relieved Tsugawa Soji finally breathed a long sigh of relief, this battle was not easy to win, maybe God is also helping the Tsugawa family!

On May 7, Soharu Tsugawa and others finally returned to Tsugawa Castle! Looking at the dilapidated Tsugawa Castle in front of him, Tsugawa Soji felt uncomfortable in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Lord!" Komura Yoshikei and others greeted Tsugawa Soji at the gate of the city early.

Looking at the haggard Yoshiki Komura in front of him, Soji Tsugawa hurriedly turned over and dismounted, came to Yoshika's side and patted Yoshiki Komura on the shoulder, "Yoshika, good job!" ”

"Tsugawa Castle can be defended, you are indispensable!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly, "Let's go into the city!" ”

Listening to Tsugawa Soji's praise, Komura Yoshikei and the others had smiles on their faces, which was the lord's affirmation of himself and his supreme honor.

.......

Inside the castle tower of Tsugawa Castle, Soji Tsugawa and the retainers of the Tsugawa family gathered.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Although the family won this battle, the loss of the family was also not small! Soharu Tsugawa said loudly, "But no matter what! The family has won after all! Whether it was the Andong family, the Dabaoji family, or the rebellious Yokote family, they were all defeated by this family! ”

"From now on, in the Yugo region, there will only be one overlord! That's my Tsugawa family! Soji Tsugawa pointed his right hand upwards and said loudly.

"Wow!"

"The Tsugawa family has a long martial arts luck!" The retainers all said excitedly.

"Yoshikei Komura, how are the casualties in Tsugawa Castle?" Soji Tsugawa asked suddenly.

Komura Yoshikage's face changed, and he said heavily, "My lord, in the battle of Tsugawa Castle, the family died a total of 174 people in the Standing Ashigaru and 221 peasant soldiers!" Seven samurai. ”

"In addition, the lord of Iwamatsu City, Lord Saigoki, also died in battle." After Komura Yoshikai finished speaking, the grief on his face became more and more intense.

"What!" After listening to Komura Yoshikage's words, not only Tsugawa Soji, but other unaware retainers also changed their faces.

"Saigo Kicho died in battle?" Soji Tsugawa asked in disbelief.

"Yes!" Komura Yoshikyo nodded helplessly, and then told how Saigo Kicho died.

When they heard that it was Asamichi who rebelled and united with Nishino Michitoshi to kill Saigo Kicho, everyone in the hall scolded one after another.

Soji Tsugawa trembled and said, "What about the Asa Mai Nagado? ”

"Already killed!" Yoshiki Komura replied truthfully.

"Cut off the head and hang it on the tower of Tsugawa Castle! The carcass is chopped into meat sauce and fed to the dogs! Soji Tsugawa said angrily. For traitors, Soharu Tsugawa has always had zero tolerance.

"Hah!"

Soji Tsugawa continued, "Yoshikei Komura and Nagaru Kiuchi, the two of you will give a detailed report on the situation of the war during this time. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

As he spoke, Yoshikei Komura and Nagaru Kiuchi alternately told in detail about the battle that took place in Tsugawa Castle during the absence of Tsugawa Soji. When he heard that Kiuchi Nagaru led a hundred peasant soldiers to assist the Lost Island family in repelling the Dahoji family, Tsugawa Soji looked at Kiuchi Nagaru with appreciation.

A quarter of an hour later, Yoshikei Komura and Nagaru Kiuchi also finished introducing the battle.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, and said slowly, "Everyone, this victory of this family is inseparable from the concerted efforts and tenacious struggle of all the retainers!" ”

"For those who have merit, our family never hesitates to reward! But for those wall grasses, this family is also extremely intolerant! Soji Tsugawa said, setting his eyes on Masato Takizawa and the others who were sitting in the corner. With the gaze of Tsugawa Soji, the other retainers also looked at Takizawa Masaka and others.

As if feeling the chill from Tsugawa Soji's gaze, Takizawa Masashi hurriedly strode over and knelt on the ground with a "poof". Said incoherently, "Big ...... The main hall, the ........... of the family"

"Needless to say." Soharu Tsugawa didn't give Takizawa a chance to defend himself at all, and Soharu Tsugawa didn't want to hear it.

"Takizawa politician, take care of you, Ma Yinnei loyal general, the three of you are very good!" Soji Tsugawa stood up, his gaze slowly swept over the three of Takizawa's masado, and said loudly, "When the main family and the Andong family were fighting, the Daihoji family and the Yokote family took the opportunity to make trouble. As a subordinate of the family, it is really excellent to not immediately send troops to support the family, but to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”

"Lord, please listen to the explanation below." Ma Yinnei, the head of the Ma Yin family, was also anxious, and hurriedly spoke.

"Needless to say." Soji Tsugawa shook his head and said, "The family can actually understand you, to be honest, you didn't fall into the well and betray the family, I'm already very satisfied." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"How can my Takizawa family betray the main hall!"

Takizawa Masashi and others hurriedly said.

Soharu Tsugawa continued, "I don't want this incident to happen again in the future. This time, you are a first-time offender, and you also sent troops to rescue Tsugawa Castle in time afterwards, so my family will not pursue it much. ”

"Whew...."Takizawa Masashi and the others breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"But!" With the sound of Tsugawa Soji, however, the hearts of Takizawa Masashi and others were raised.

"After all, you are at fault first, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!" Tsugawa Soji looked at Takizawa Masashi and the others and said slowly, "I order you to send your family members to Ueno Castle within three days, remember, it's all family members." Did you hear me clearly? ”

"This ....." The three of Takizawa Masayo and Akasa Baozhi looked at each other, a little hesitant.

"Humph!" Soji Tsugawa snorted and said loudly, "What? Don't want to? ”

"No, no, no! Send someone immediately after your return, no, personally send your family to Ueno Castle! General Ma Yin Neizhong hurriedly said.

The politician of Takizawa and Yu Baoyuki on the side also hurriedly said: "Yes, willing!" ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Remember, this time it's just a warning to you!" If such a thing happens in the future, then there is no need for you to continue to exist! ”

"Hah!" Takizawa Masato and the others kept nodding their heads like chickens eating rice.

"Yajima-sama!" At this time, Soji Tsugawa suddenly turned his head and said to Yajima Mitsuhisa, who was sitting at the back.

"In!" Yajima Mitsuhisa hurriedly walked out.

Tsugawa Soji changed his previous angry look towards Takizawa Masashi and others, and said to Yajima Mitsuhisa with a pleasant face, "This time, the Yashima family is facing the strength of the Daihoji family several times their own, and they stick to the city, and block the Daihoji family that is trying to attack the Daihoji family in Yuri County, the main family!" Thank you, Yajima-sama. After speaking, Soji Tsugawa bowed slightly to Yajima Mitsuhisa.

Yajima was flattered and said, "The main hall, these are all things that this family should do!" ”

"Hmm." Tsugawa Soji nodded with satisfaction, and said in a good mood, "Between the merits of the Yajima family in this battle, I will give the Yajima family 5,000 stone of grain!" In addition, Yajima Mitsuhisa and Lost Island Mitsuyasu were given a famous knife and a good horse! ”

"I hope that the Yajima family will continue to work for this family in the future!" Soji Tsugawa said to Yajima Mitsuhisa with kindness.

Yajima Mitsuhisa and Lost Island Manyasu hurriedly saluted Tsugawa Soji, "Thank you, Great Hall!" This family must die for the Lord's family! ”

Looking at the "master-slave harmony" Tsugawa Soji and others, the Takizawa politician and Mayin Naizhong on the side looked envious, while Yu Baozhi pouted, and secretly said in his heart, "Sycophant!" Hum! ”
