Chapter 696: Father's Discipline
Call! The fire soared into the sky, illuminating half the sky!
"What's going on! Where did the fire come from! Hosokawa Nobumoto looked into the distance in surprise, this fire was really not small, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Lord, nameless fire, but worried about the front line?" Honda Masanobu naturally knew what the lord was thinking, and this sudden fire was too strange.
"Yes, this information is inconvenient, I don't know how it became popular, and the former army is unmanned, I... Fear... was plotted by Soji Tsugawa. Hosokawa Nobumoto was a little annoyed, forgetting to appoint a temporary commander first, the most taboo in the war is to have no head and no master.
"The lord has no worries, there is a sunny adult, presumably... It should be able to shake it. "Honda Masanobu has always been a sure word, but this time, he was a little hesitant.
"Look! Look there! Oh my God, it's on fire, isn't it? ”
"Yes, look at it like this, I'm afraid it's a big fire, and it lights up the sky." The ashigaru in the back turned their heads to each other and chattered.
"Quiet!" Asakura Aiomaru turned around and scolded angrily, so frightened that everyone didn't dare to say anything anymore, but there was still uneasiness in his eyes.
"No, we have to go and see, is it still inconvenient for cavalry to pass in the valley now?" Hosokawa Nobumoto was also extremely worried in his heart, such a big fire, if his own army was in it, it would be a heavy loss.
"Not yet, people can have an antidote in their mouths, but horses... Can't get by... Lord, you'd better wait. Honda Masanobu shook his head, if the cavalry has no horses, then it is not called cavalry, and... He couldn't let his lord crawl over like a dog.
"Hmm..."Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, his eyes full of the light reflected in the night sky.
"Father, let the child go." Hosokawa Senchimaru took the initiative to ask Ying, he could go and complete this task.
"My lord, this is very good, the prestige of the young lord is enough to deter the whole army." Honda Masanobu hurriedly spoke, and the result was still relatively good.
"Hmm... All right. Smart Pill! I order you to lead Himejibei, Kagabei, Kiyoshu, Tobunbei, and Tajima to reinforce them! Hosokawa Nobumoto thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement, and sent an elite standing guard of 10,000 people, which should be able to deal with various crises.
"Yes! The child is commanded! Rest assured, father! Hosokawa Senomaru saluted happily, and then rushed to Asai Motomasa behind him to give a few orders, and the latter immediately went to assemble the reserve for the formation.
"My lord, do you say... Do you want to switch guards with the young master? Honda Masanobu hesitated for a moment and asked, Isn't this equivalent to the lord guarding the rear army, and the young lord taking charge of the front army?
"Nope! Smart Maru, you go over and take a look first, be sure to protect the army and avoid large-scale casualties. When the poisonous fog in the valley has cleared a little, and it is enough for horses and baggage to pass, you and I will immediately change it back. Hosokawa Nobumoto immediately explained that as the main force of the front army, he should still have him in charge.
"My lord, this is very good, the poisonous fog is going up, and during the time of blockading the enemy, it is completely achievable. Then your majesty will go down and arrange for food, ammunition, etc., to ensure that you can enter the valley immediately as soon as you can pass! Honda Masanobu saluted and waited for Hosokawa Nobumoto's order.
"Very well, Yahachiro, let's do it." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded, motioned for Honda Masanobu to go down to arrange it first, and then beckoned to Smart Matsumaru, and the two left the crowd a little bit, talking to themselves.
"Smart Maru, it's unpredictable, but you remember one thing, that is..."As he spoke, Hosokawa Nobumoto also checked the surroundings with his eyes, making sure that he didn't listen to the corner.
"Father, please speak, and the child must remember it." As soon as Senchomaru saw his father's posture, he knew that it must be a very important thing.
"That's... If there is danger, retreat immediately, and save your life, the poisonous fog in the valley can be used as a cover. "It turned out that Hosokawa Nobumoto was planning to let Senakamaru escape in distress.
"Huh? Let the child run away? Clever Pill said loudly in surprise, I didn't expect my father, who was always majestic on weekdays, to teach himself to escape? How detrimental this is to the image of the samurai.
"Shhhh Be quiet! Listen to me, there is an ancient saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is called to stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood. Hosokawa Nobumoto hurriedly stopped Smart Maru's yelling, and then peeked at the people not far behind him, but fortunately there was no commotion.
"But father, you let the child escape... This... It's really... is how to save his life, what face will the child have in the future, facing the important ministers in the family? They're going to poke the kids in the back. Senimaru pouted, a little reluctant, thinking that the samurai should die in battle and leave a good name for future generations to admire.
"Confused, wouldn't you say it's a tactical retreat? Remember, if you want to achieve great things, you must first save your own life. You should have heard the story I told you since you were a child, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, killed himself in Wujiang, lost his life and lost the world. Cao Mengde of the Three Kingdoms has experienced many defeats such as burning Chibi, defeating Huarong Dao, and cutting his beard and abandoning his robe by Guanzhong War Ma Chao, but as long as he can live, he will not dominate the Central Plains in the end? Hosokawa Nobumoto began to talk bitterly, he didn't want his child to fight until the last moment so stupidly.
"Oh, and Cao Cao's old opponent Liu Bei, who is a defeated general, a crybaby, and finally a strong man in the world, called the lonely founding emperor of Shu Han. And then there's Sima Yi, he's a turtle! I can live! In the end, he annexed Wei and ruled the world, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was very similar to him. Speaking of this, Hosokawa Nobumoto paused, and looked sideways at the old turtle in the mouth of the crowd not far away.
"Father, why have you been wary of Tokugawa Ieyasu? Does he have any evil intentions? "Hosokawa Senimaru has been following Hosokawa Nobumoto all the year round, so he naturally knows his father's likes and dislikes.
"Don't worry, I'll clean up this guy myself. Oh yes, and Minamoto Yorito, the first person to establish the samurai regime Kamakura Shogunate. He was not a victorious general, he also suffered defeats, he was also exiled for twenty years, and there were only a few people left in the worst battle, and finally escaped into the mountains, escaped with his life, and finally became the head of the world and the samurai. If he also learns from Xiang Yu, it will be a good story at most. Also..."
"Father, the child understands, and the child will definitely come back alive." After talking for a long time, Clever Pill knew that this was his father's kindness, and he couldn't make his father sad, it was unfilial.
"Good, good!" Hosokawa Nobumoto patted Senimaru's shoulder, and he grew taller again.
"Great hall, lord! The reserve team has been assembled and is ready to go! At this time, Motomasa Asai came over and saluted respectfully.
"Father, the boy?" Senimaru glanced at his father one last time, and the meaning of parting was obvious.
"Go, and remember what the Father has said." Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his hand and watched Senkaimaru leave, gradually disappearing into the darkness. If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
