276

As a historical figure, it is inevitable to fall into the embarrassing situation of being compared with contemporaries by later generations.

Hey? Why do you say embarrassing?

First, the feeling of being talked about is always uncomfortable.

Second, I was [lifted] and [put down] like a toy, saying that it was too powerful and inappropriate, and what I said was too inadequate

It's a mess, but I haven't had a chance to argue for myself.

I've been writing books here for a long time, and I've read a lot of posts about Japan's Warring States, and almost every big man with a little fame will be compared to others.

And every time there is a comparison, what follows is a large series of arguments, each [Historical Emperor] and [Examination Emperor], driven by the [Middle Two Diseases], regard themselves as historians and researchers, for the sake of people who have nothing to do with themselves are undocumented, some extreme, once they encounter someone who has a difference in opinion from their own, indiscriminately, they immediately scold and greet each other's female relatives.

There are also some people who can't scold others, so they come to the last trick: swear by gambling curses!

The xx in history must be like this, if it weren't for this, let me die the whole family!

Hey, I said, if you want to die, why do you have to take your family with you?

Besides, even if this is the case, what does it have to do with you?

When it comes to comparison, it's actually not a big deal, although the characters on both sides of the argument are different, the [evidence] used for comparison is the same———— personal merits.

There's no way around it, those [Historical Emperors] and [Kao Ju Emperors] aren't people of that era after all, although they talk about how to admire and how to get it, they haven't seen the people they are arguing about at all.

Ruyi they can only learn from what those people did———— but then again, history books are not written by contemporary people, and it is also very convenient to revise, it is difficult to say whether these [middle two diseases] are real history or not.

The effect of this method is not bad, and some characters are easier to compare.

For example, the same Four Heavenly Kings, the [Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings] and the [Oda Four Heavenly Kings] [Combination] are more powerful.

Needless to say, it must be the [Oda Four Heavenly Kings], the four of them as the commanders of the army, opened up the territory for Oda Nobunaga, and laid down many countries, the four stupid big ones of the Tokugawa family (uh...... In fact, Sakakihara Yasumasa and Ii Naomasa are not good at height), it's okay to go into battle and fight, but can they command thousands of troops and horses?

Hey? How do you know that they can't command? Although it is true that they have never commanded, it does not mean that they do not have this ability.

Belch...... Less TMD crap! You're brain-dead! If they really have this ability, why didn't the old turtle let them be the captain?!

Remember, don't reason with the second disease, they never know what reason is.

The matter of the [Four Heavenly Kings] is put aside for now, and there is a rather hot topic worth discussing:

Who is stronger, Shingen Takeda or Kenshin Uesugi?

This problem, even the [middle two diseases] who are rich in five cars and eight buckets in height do not dare to draw conclusions easily.

It's not just because the abilities of these two big men are very close and it's hard to compare, but ———— these two people have fought several times, and it's completely inseparable.

Bah! What doesn't make a difference?! In the eyes of the [Middle Two Diseases], everyone in this world must have a high and low rank!

As a result, the controversy intensified......

I returned to Azuchi Castle in 1584, the first day of the 12th year of Tensho.

At present, Osaka Castle has not been repaired, and the administrative office of the shogunate is still located here.

Speaking of administration, I can't understand Oda Nobunaga's thoughts.

Except for the dead Niwa Nagahide, all the four ruling powers of the Oda Shogunate have been sent out by him, and if this continues, won't my father-in-law worry about causing a situation where [the minister is heavy and the king is light]?

But when I think about it, how can I guess what other people think?

Oda Nobunaga in history is fascinated in large part because of his maverick behavior and way of thinking that is different from that of his contemporaries.

If it can be seen through, is it still Oda Nobunaga?

Since this interview was my own idea and not an order from Oda Nobunaga, it is inconvenient to make a big fuss.

Not only did the flag not come out, but we put away all the haori.

When the passers-by along the way saw us, they thought it was an ordinary ronin samurai who went to Azuchi Castle to seek official work.

There are too many such people, and now the world is about to be calm, and the life of the ronin is getting worse and harder.

(If you've read Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", you'll know that ronin is actually versatile, in addition to fighting, farming, trading, transportation, making devices, etc., as long as you are not lazy, you can live in anything, but these people think very highly of themselves, and regard agriculture and commerce as untouchable occupations, and only regard becoming a samurai as a "serious thing".) ）

You have to take advantage of the fact that the world is not yet peaceful, and before the [matter] is over, quickly find a place for yourself to settle down, and if you have no battle to fight in the future, you can't use yourself, then it will be miserable.

Yanagi was worried about my [casual] and thought it was a good idea.

I don't care, if those who are farming in the fields know that I am one of the four rulers of the shogunate, Mr. Akechi, who is nicknamed "Izumo no Dragon", maybe they will get into trouble.

However, it doesn't mean that anyone is so detached from me.

Let's say the group of people who are ahead of us.

The blue-green gentian emblem is flying in the wind, and the brigade of 100 people is freshly dressed and angry, so it is not majestic.

These people are different from us, they wear elaborate armor, and they hold a large banner that is more than a foot high, and the flag is decorated with leopard skins and peacock feathers.

The horses were dressed in horse armor made of tiger and bear skins, and the samurai wore gilded broadswords, which was very eye-catching.

Among them, more than a dozen samurai were armed with swords at their waists and long wooden swords covered with silver leaf, which was enough to terrify the enemy.

In Japan, there is a tradition that samurai are ashamed of luxury, and samurai who are in high positions but are thrifty and simple are often more respected.

Jun did not see the Ashikaga family's great joy and the destruction of the country, and the fact that Toyotomi Hideyoshi built a golden tea room and died in two generations.

There is also the Oda Nobunaga, when the shogunate was founded, it was clearly stated in the shogunate's governing constitution "Tensho New Deal Regulations" that it was not allowed to be extravagant.

Of course, the Shogun had to listen to what he said, but ......

Oda Nobunaga himself is a man who is not used to living a poor life, you say, can he do it?

Of course not!

Not to mention anything else, my cousin, who is also my mother-in-law's Mrs. Nohime, and Oda Nobunaga's other concubines, the rouge gouache money has risen sharply recently.

That's all there is to it, think about it, isn't it more expensive to spend money elsewhere?

Despite this, we, the retainers, decided to give the general this face, and try not to make too much of a show.

But there are also those who are not [knowledgeable], such as walking in front and using the Sasa-Gentian flag.

Kitada Nobuyo.

This name may be unfamiliar to everyone, but his other name is familiar to everyone.

Nobuo Oda.

(I want to apologize to everyone here, I directly called the third [Oda Nobuo] of Nobunaga's family in the front, but in fact, he changed his surname back before the Cheongju Conference, and [Nobuo] was only used when he was the second Minister of the Interior, so we must respect history)

Actually, Kitada Nobuyi (let's use such a name in the future) is not too much, why?

As we all know, the ancestor of the Kitada family was the Kitada family who once served the imperial family, and was pleased by the emperor because the little brother was more handsome.

How much do you like it?

The emperor gave them all the five or three paulownia patterns.

Ladies and gentlemen, in Japan, the paulownia pattern is a very valuable family crest, and the [pattern] can almost be compared to the chrysanthemum pattern used by the emperor, even within the Fujiwara clan, only the Seki family, the Qinghua family and the Habayashi family can use it (even after Fujiwara Sanyin, the one-eyed dragon Date Masamune, who is powerful in Japan, only dared to use the paulownia pattern when he was approved by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and gave the surname [Toyotomi]).

Oda Nobunaga's third son, when he first inherited the Kitada family, thought he was noble (from the perspective of family personality, the descendants of Murakami Genji, the Kitada clan of the Kuniji family is indeed more noble than the Oda clan), so he used the imperial paulownia pattern everywhere to show off.

He himself is majestic, but Daddy Oda Nobunaga is gone———— you kid don't want to govern the country well, why are you swaggering everywhere? Who are you for yourself? You're going crazy?! ……

[Hmph! That's not true! 】

I was [thinking about life] when I suddenly heard a cold snort from Liu Shengqian.

[What's wrong?] Jubei, who has provoked you again? 】

Yanagi hurriedly explained.

[No, sir, I'm just angry at the luxury of the group of people in front of me, where does this look like a samurai, dressed like an upstart, and ......]

Liu Shengqian said angrily:

[Master, you are the shogun's beloved son-in-law, the ruling power of the shogunate, and the right guard major general canonized by the imperial court, even if you look at Kitada-sama as the shogun's son, but he has neither a shogunate position, nor a very small territory, and he is only an Ise Mamoru in terms of official position, how can you compare with you, master? ] …… Even you are so frugal, but he is so ......]

[That's it! Ten Guards! Don't say any more! 】

I rolled my eyes, Yanagi was ostensibly accusing Kitada of Shinyi, but in fact she was still giving me advice.

This guy has been following me for so long, and he still can't control his mouth, and he can't say anything straight.

[Shibei, how people are is their own business, and it's not our turn to talk about outsiders, so please stop in moderation! ] 】

[Sorry, sir! 】

Having said that, even with my head bent over and bowed, I didn't hear a hint of apology from Miss Yagyu.

Alas! Although this girl respects me very much, she hardly regards herself as my subordinate, the key is that I do like this stupid girl with a real temperament, and I am reluctant to beat or scold, and I always make myself unable to get off the stage.

[Now that we look like this, it is estimated that Lord Kitada has not recognized it, so let's look like this, it is not convenient for us to greet him, so we are all right. 】

[But ......]

She wanted to say something, but she finally kept her mouth shut under my gaze.

When I entered the city, I had to visit Oda Nobunaga.

I met Oda Nobunaga that night in the conference room of Azuchi Castle.

This shows that Oda Nobunaga has something very important to tell me, otherwise, he would have come to see me, the son-in-law, in the tea room or bedroom.

[Kogoro, do you know that just half an hour ago, I received a report on the war in Iwami Province. 】

Oda Nobunaga's expression was tepid, which made it impossible for me to see what kind of mood he was in.

[The temple under the snow has fallen, and the military headquarters has moved to a nearby village with the main force to continue the battle. 】

[I'm sorry.] 】

[You don't have to apologize, the entire valley under the snow has not completely fallen, and you still have a chance to counterattack. 】

Oda Nobunaga stared at me with a blank expression.

[As a general now, I have a lot of things to do every day, so I can't pay too much attention to this level of battle, and I can only count on you people to work harder. 】

【I will definitely live up to your expectations.】 】

【Alas~~】

Oda Nobunaga suddenly let out a long sigh, and I was startled.

Did I just answer something wrong?

[General, what's wrong?] 】

Oda Nobunaga didn't say anything, just pointed to a piece of paper on the desk.

I picked up the piece of paper, it was a letter.

I used to look at the name of the writer first.

Date Misaku Masaku Masamu Tojiro Masamune.

This is a diplomatic document written to the shogunate by Date Masamune, who just took over as the patriarch of the Tohoku wealthy Date family, who just took over this year.

The content of the letter is somewhat bizarre———— Date Masamune wants the shogunate to recognize the Date family as the guardian of Oshu, and re-canonize himself as Oshu Detective.

The Date family has been the guardian of Oshu for generations, and in addition, before the Astronomical Rebellion, the patriarch of the Date family has been an Oshu probe for generations.

But what's worse is that whether it is [Guardian] or [Exploration], it is an official position only available to the Genji Shogunate and the Ashikaga Shogunate.

Oda Nobunaga abolished it long ago.

The Oda shogunate established the [Inspectorate] to administer the sub-kingdoms, which were served by the former guardian daimyo, and the [Inspectorate] was established to administer several sub-kingdoms far away from.

[Inspection] is roughly equivalent to the previous [Guardian], managing a country, and the meaning of the existence of [Inspector General] is almost [Exploration], managing two or three or four countries.

[Inspector] does not need to be responsible for the [Inspector General], and the two have no actual relationship between superiors and subordinates, and they only obey the general's orders.

The only difference is that the power of these two positions has been greatly reduced, and the [Inspector] is not a feudal lord, but can only be responsible for the security and economy of these countries that have no direct lord and are directly under the jurisdiction of the shogunate, and the military affairs are handled by the shogunate itself.

In addition, like most shogunates, these two positions are not hereditary, and the status of those who hold them is generally not high, no more than 200,000 koku.

After talking for a long time, you can understand that the emergence of these two local positions just shows that the characteristics of the Oda shogunate are completely different from the first two shogunates———— the latter is decentralization, and the former, on the contrary, is completely centralized.

(The [patrol system] is completely imitating the [supervision system] of the Ming Dynasty)

Taking power into his own hands is indeed Oda Nobunaga's personality.

Now Date Masamune is writing a letter, asking for [Guardian] and [Probe].

At first glance, this may seem like just a clerical error.

Clerical error?

It's not that simple!

If the clerical error had been made by a small commoner, or if the down-and-out but nostalgic samurai had written the letter, it would have been nothing, and Oda Nobunaga and I would have laughed and thrown it in the trash.

But this person is different, he is Date Masamune, who holds the 300,000 stone territory of Oshu.

A man who, although only seventeen years old, is enough to influence the situation in the Northeast.

Would he be so confused as to make such a mistake?

[It's too much! This Date Masamune is really hateful! 】

I threw the letter to the ground and said indignantly:

[This bastard boy from the Northeast! Think you're something?! How dare you be so ignorant of life and death and defy the shogunate! 】

In fact, in my heart, there are not too many fluctuations————

Don't forget that I'm a time-traveler, and I know a thing or two about history.

Date Masamune is not crazy, let alone nostalgic, he is indeed provoking Oda Nobunaga.

The same is true of Date Masamune in history, who treated Toyotomi Hideyoshi as if he were nothing, and completely ignored the [total nothing order].

It's not uncommon for young people to be high-flying and don't know whether they are alive or dead, not to mention that it is Date Masamune.

At this time, Mori Ranmaru, who was also my son-in-law, who was also the chief of the close attendants on the side, said:

[Not only that, I heard that Date Boy is also spreading remarks in the Northeast, threatening to take over the world! 】

[What?! Is he really so rebellious?! 】

I feigned shock.

But in the bottom of my heart, I was a kind of [sure enough] quiet.

But this kid is so [dead], Oda Nobunaga is not Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he is not so easy to talk to, look at how your kid ends up this time!

[What's more, he said...... Say ......]

Moriranmaru looked at Oda Nobunaga nervously, and when he saw that the latter didn't look angry, he boldly said:

[He said......]

At this time, Oda Nobunaga suddenly spoke:

[He also said that I, Nobunaga, claimed to be a descendant of the Hirai clan Shimori Gong, but in fact I was only a descendant of a small priest in Echizen, and I became a samurai by clinging to the Takei family......]

Oda Nobunaga didn't look angry at all, and there was nothing wrong with his eyes, but his tone was like the cold wind of the ten winter moons, which made me feel cold and tingling all over my body, and my nerves were even numb by [freezing].

This is Oda Nobunaga's usual [coercion], and even an old minister like Shibata Katsuya can't resist such a momentum.

[As a small priest, it is really funny and sad to usurp the world, and he is the one who is really qualified to rule the world after the dignified Fujiwara Sanyin......]

As he spoke, Oda Nobunaga glanced at me.

And I was completely restrained by his [words], and I didn't even notice the [reactionary] content on the letter.

[Kogoro, do you think what this Date-sama said is right? 】

[It's really ...... It's too ......]

This time I wasn't pretending, I was really scared, but not by Date Masamune, but by my father-in-law in front of me.

[General! 】

I fell to my knees and said in a gritted tone:

【Lord! Please allow me to lead my troops to the northeast and destroy this arrogant and unreasonable imp! 】

[Oh? You're going to war with Date Masamune? 】

I lowered my head and didn't see it, but Moriranmaru saw that Oda Nobunaga's tone had slowed down a lot.

[Yes, as long as you say a word, I will kill the Northeast, and I will never come back to see you until I get the head of Date Child! 】

The teeth in my mouth clenched [gurgling], and at this moment, not to mention Oda Nobunaga and Moriranmaru staring at me, even I was doubting in my heart————

Hey? Strange, why am I so angry? Do I really hate him that much?

Come on, the acting was overdone, and even I was deceived.

A smile finally appeared on Oda Nobunaga's face.

[Okay, good, good, Kogoro, you are really my good son-in-law, only you are the most worthy of dependence, Gonroku is old now, and the Hojo family is enough for him to be busy, and the group of dogs in the Northeast thought I couldn't control the Northeast and jumped out, hum! ] Kill yourself, I'll send them to hell! 】

I can't take back what I say, and my heart hurts now————

Now that my army is in Kansai, even if I finish fighting the Maori family, I have to take a good rest, and it is really ...... to be transferred to the Northeast at this time

I just cared about patting my ass, and now I can't take it back.

Alas, it seems that I am not very good at politics.

But even so, I had to raise my voice:

[General, when will the troops be dispatched?] 】

[No hurry.] 】

[Huh? 】

[Haven't your troops been transferred back yet?] Moreover, the military objectives of the shogunate at this stage are still mainly Kansai, Shikoku, and Kyushu, so let's put aside the affairs in the east for now, and there is no need to rush at this time. 】

[But the general, now ......]

[Kogoro, you listen to me first. 】

[It's rude, forgive your sins.] 】

[You may not know it, half a year ago, the Date clan suddenly sent troops to Aizu, and in the battle of Origahara, the main force of the Ashina family was wiped out, and Ashina asked me for help at that time, and I also sent a letter to Date Terumune, asking him to withdraw from the army, but it didn't seem to have any effect...... The Date clan now occupies almost all of Aizu. 】

[Unexpectedly, the Ashina family is so useless, is it now extinct? 】

[Not only perished, but also extinct...... Even so, Date was not satisfied, and now he had contacted Mogami Yoshimitsu of Dewa Province and invaded Uesugi's territory. 】

【Uesugi? 】

[Yes, their two nephews and uncles have already knocked down the northern part of Echigo Country. 】

[Nani?! 】

I'm really stunned, the Uesugi family is different from the Ashina family above, not only does it hold the strongest soldier in the world left by Uesugi Kenshin, but the quality of the Uesugi family's generals is very high.

[Originally, the war was very stable, and both sides had their own victories and defeats, but half a month ago, the Xinfa Tian Shigejia, who was guarding northern Vietnam, suddenly defected......]

[So what's going on now?] 】

I have a good relationship with Naoe, and coupled with my admiration for Uesugi Kenshin, I naturally don't want anything to happen to the Uesugi family.

[The Northeast Army's military formation is less than 100 miles away from Kasuga Mountain Castle, and the Uesugi family's Naoe Kanesugu has asked me for assistance more than once...... Hehe, I didn't expect that Uesugi Kenshin had only been dead for five or six years, and the Uesugi family had fallen to this step............]

To [grab the knife with your own hands].

Ke'er Caizang made up his mind, since he didn't have a weapon in his hand, he would take it from the enemy.

It's strange to say: when he has an idea, he has a spirit, and he immediately feels clear-headed, bright-eyed, nimble, and energetic.

But plans don't always keep up with the changes

Ke'er Caizang was about to spread out his big hands, but he heard the sound of "gurgling" from the low earthen wall.

Hey? What's going on?

It turned out that a lot of ronins were coming this way.

I'm KAO! Is there any mistake, I didn't turn over the yellow calendar when I went out recently? How did you get lucky to carry it to such a point?!

Since there are enemies again, then the plan of [grabbing the white knife with white hands] will not work.

At this time, he felt the difficulty of fighting alone, and it would not be like this if at least one comrade-in-arms was by his side.

It looks like I'm going to confess here today, what a wretch! If only there were two or three people around to help! …… Hey? Help? Zhongxing told me the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, as if there is something false and real, real and false, if I also ......

At this point, his wit moved, and he thought about it———— and shouted loudly:

[Kamiya-sama, Okawa-sama is coming! You are surrounded from the east and the west! Here are a few ronin! Let's do a big job today, cut off their heads, and give them to the generals as Māori soldiers, and we will definitely get a reward...... This is a great opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune...... Huh? They're going to run! Don't run! Don't let the enemy run away, two adults! 】

(The classic tactics of the little overlord Sun Bofu are about to be imitated and written by various novels, so I will come to Handan to learn to walk once)

His shouting really worked.

However, this effect is the opposite:

He had intended to terrify the enemy and retreat, but ......

There was actually a person on the roof opposite!

Unlike the ronin, the man was wearing armor and was clearly a soldier with serious military training.

Quite dramatically, this man was also chased by the enemy and fled.

Originally, he was going to find a place to hide, but when he heard Ke'er Caizang's shout, he was overjoyed, thinking that there were really his allies, and the result was ......

When he saw that Kerr was hiding this dangerous situation, he wanted to come down to help him, but his leg was injured and he couldn't walk, so it was impossible for him to run over to help.

And there are enemies chasing after you, what should I do?

This guy is also in a hurry:

Reaching out and removing a half-head stone, he shouted

【Dog mongrel! Taste the kunai that I have been poisoned with! 】

The guy who was ———— threw half of the stone down.

If you want to say that this kid is treacherous enough, he is obviously an ordinary stone, but he blows it out as kunai and poisonous.

Sakashita was concentrating on fighting against Ke'er Caizang, and suddenly saw a black thing smashed over, and then heard what [poisoned] and what [kunai], and was startled.

Hurriedly flashed.

This flash just gave the opponent a chance————

Ke'er hurriedly hit a [Pegasus Meteor Fist].

Pressing the gourd to float the scoop, Mr. Sakashita didn't have time to dodge.

[Bang] hit the [handsome] face of Deputy Chief Sakashita, and this punch made this Japanese devil scream repeatedly.

His sword skills were confused, and the tip of the katana was in a panic, and he couldn't hold his breath!

Deputy Chief Sakashita couldn't wait to stab Keer Caizang to death.

Ke'er was hiding at this juncture, and the half-cut knife in his hand was swept away by the katana of the deputy chief of Sakashita, and the [ping-pong] sound fell to the ground.

Ke'er only hid and staggered back, seeing that she was about to fall, and she couldn't even open her eyes.

Looks like this one is really going to die.

This made a sakashita devil very happy, he hurriedly chased after Ke'er Caizang, Ke'er Caizang tilted to the right, he slashed to the right, Ke'er Caizang twisted to the left, he slashed to the left, but he didn't cut yet.

At this time, Ke'er Caizang suddenly stood up, his eyes opened, and he pointed behind Deputy Chief Sakashita with his hand, and shouted: [Come! 】

Deputy Commander Sakashita stabbed hard in a panic, and the tip of the bayonet was pierced with the armor that Kerr had hidden, and he saw that Ker's T-shaped back foot was withdrawn, and his upper body twisted to the right rear, and the bayonet sneered, and it was worn behind his body against the belt that Kerr had hidden.

You scumbag! I want your life!

Ke'er hid his hands and was quick, grabbed the blade with both hands, left hand behind, right hand in front, straightened his left leg, raised his right leg, and made a big foot volley.

If Ke'er Caizo had lived in the modern era, he would have been a suitable football player, and maybe he could become Shunsuke Nakamura's successor.

Lead the Japanese football team to rush out of the world and into the universe (black I Celestial Empire national football -_-|||）！

With a "hey" sound, the poor deputy chief was kicked out seven or eight feet away.

Sure enough, good foot power!

One with his back facing the sky

[Ah————h

Mr. Sakashita, who was kicked all over the place, had stars in his eyes and lay on the ground unable to move, but he just threw the knife in Ke'er's hand.

[Ahh......h It's raining in Takamagahara...... I eat seven or eight rice balls a day ......]

It seems that the power of this blow is not only reflected in the body, but also in the spirit of Innosuke Sakashita.

Great, give him the final blow now.

Ke'er Caizang was about to come up and give him a knife, but ......

Hula on the other side of the earthen wall...... There are a few ronins in the hole!

Lucky you turtle son! Don't let Grandpa meet you next time!

Kor Caizo didn't have time to kill Sakashita Inusuke, and when he saw that it was not good, he turned his head and ran away through the earthen wall on the other side.

Speaking of which, some people may have questions:

[With so many enemies rushing over with knives, how could Ke'er Caizang run away?

If someone's katana can't hit him, won't they catch up and hit him?

Will he be able to escape? I don't believe it. 】

It's thanks to Ke'er's previous call.

The ronins had just seen the bodies of the two team members outside the door and were terrified.

Ahh How many enemies did they have when they killed our two brothers?

They thought there were a lot of enemies here.

However, Deputy Chief Sakashita is still inside, so you can't leave him alone!

The ronins who rushed over, there were six in total, and when they saw that Ke'er had only hidden their deputy chief, they fled, and that's it

[Ahh————h

However, after chasing several mansions in a row, he did not see the shadow of Ke'er Caizang and another enemy.

They left three men to continue the search, and the other three hurried back to look after their casualties:

One of the previous brothers was so badly wounded that he could no longer die. Their lieutenant was lying on his back on the ground, still speaking unintelligible words.

It's nothing just talking nonsense, but what frightens these people is that Deputy Chief Sakashita can't stop spurting blood out of his nose and mouth, and ————he squirts far away, which is really scary.

Why did this deputy chief Sakashita spurt blood out of his nose and mouth?

It turned out that he was kicked on the cheek by Keer, and the jaw bone was kicked off the ring, the cheek raiser, the gum bed, the root of the tongue and even the root of the ear were kicked open, the mouth couldn't open, the head was dizzy, half of the face was swollen, swollen like a sauce cake, black and purple, bad and rotten, not only that, but even his air and throat were injured, this guy was angry, so he was lying on the ground, holding his breath straight ————, spurting blood straight ———— .

Ladies and gentlemen, what does it mean to be beaten like a pig's head?

Well, that's it.

[Ahh How did it get like this?! 】

Seeing this, the ronin was frightened, so he carried him out of the village on his back, and met his chief———— the leader of the group, that is, the hemp rope.

The leader of the Ichigumi is a big rogue leader who wanders around Kansai, and he has eighty or ninety people in his hands, and according to today's words, this guy can be regarded as a [godfather].

It is said that he participated in the Shingong Party of the Nizi family back then and developed a good skill, but it is precisely because of his [historical background problem] that the Maori family resolutely refuses to hire him.

That's why he wanted to win the favor of Mori Terumoto by means of war, and then become a samurai again.

This guy has a very vicious heart, and he has done a lot of things in the traitor department, that is, he has become a little more peaceful over the years, otherwise, Yoshikawa Motoharu, who is jealous and hateful, would have taken him to prison a long time ago.

In order to maintain its absolute dominance over a group, it adopted an absolute iron-fisted policy, and the members of the group were often punished very severely for some minor mistakes, and they were often blamed at every turn.

In the past 20 years, he has purged more team members than there are currently in the group.

His subordinates were trembling in front of him, calling him [Director], [Chief], [Boss], and behind his back, they all called her "Evil Rope".

However, he has one characteristic:

On the surface, he is not as fierce and brutal as Deputy Chief Sakashita, and he is much more [civilized] than ordinary Japanese officers, and he is only about forty years old, of medium stature, with a very white face, and a small piece of black sanitary beard on his upper lip, but his face is too long, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

To put it more figuratively, this is the donkey face.

However, brutality alone can't stabilize the morale of the army, in addition to iron-fisted means, a bureau chief always takes the small head himself when he gets a reward, and the big head is very generous to everyone, so everyone is willing to die for him.

If his face is pulled downward, he will make up a way to kill people without asking.

This time, he came to Qiaotou Town to clean up the battlefield, and he commanded the wounded number of the Wise Army.

Sakashita's appointment as deputy chief was his order.

Sakashita is the only old friend in the group who has served as a soldier with him in the Niko family back then, and he is quite reliable in terms of martial arts and experience.

He always felt that Deputy Chief Sakashita would not lose the battle, but when he saw Deputy Chief Sakashita being beaten like this, he couldn't help but be surprised, the wounds of the Wise Army were so bad, killing three ronin, and also wounding his deputy chief.

Well? Is this really just a wounded man in Wise Kogoro's legion?

Impossible, right?

A wounded person is so bad? How strong should an uninjured person be?

Or is it that the dog is too old to be useful?

In addition to all the speculation, he also suspected that this was not an injury, maybe there was still an armed force of the Wise Army in the village!

So, he quickly sent a few more agile team members to act as spies, pretending to be peasants to enter the village to reconnoitre, and at the same time asked people in the group who knew medical skills to check the injuries of Deputy Chief Sakashita.

After examination by the medical officer, it was said that the deputy chief's injury was not serious, but it was a bit of a strange thing, and it was impossible to figure out what kind of injury he was.

Originally, such a situation is rare on the battlefield, so this guy is only a Mongolian doctor, and it is impossible to say what kind of injury he was injured.

However, he was not completely useless, and after a lot of effort, he finally brought Deputy Chief Sakashita to his senses.

The bureau chief asked him how he was injured.

When he asked, Deputy Chief Sakashita made it difficult:

Let's be honest, he didn't dare.

For he will say:

It was a wounded wise soldier who killed three ronins in a row, kicked him on his back, and snatched the knife away.

This is really a group of [long faces], don't say that your cruel director can't spare yourself for being so incompetent, even if you feel very embarrassed.

Don't tell the truth...... But how can I say that?

Isn't it even more suspicious?

After thinking about it, he remembered that Ke'er had just called the second platoon leader and the fourth squad leader, and felt that his face was still painful, as if he had been smashed by the [kunai] who was beaten down from the house.

Huh?! Am I really being beaten by kunai?

Fortunately, he had forgotten about the [poisoning] thing, otherwise, he might have caused some kind of trouble.

However, as soon as he thought of this, his self-confidence came up again.

It turns out that I was not beaten like this by a crippled person, I fell for their despicable schemes......

Ostrich thinking.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said:

[Boss, there are enemies in the village, and there must be quite a few of them!] 】

He had already known that there were people in the village, but he only thought that there were only a few people in the village, and now when he heard Sakashita Inusuke say this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes:

[What do you say?!] Lots of enemies in the village? 】

[Absolutely! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been hurt like this! 】

[There is some truth to this, but the people who came back said that they only saw two people. 】

[There are also some people who hide and do the black.] 】

[So, tell me, how did you get hurt? 】

When asked about his injuries, he added:

[I am the one who was hiding...... The guy threw things out just to get my attention...... I remember! 】

He suddenly let out a nervous scream, startling both the chief and the doctor.

[What's wrong with you?] 】

[The man was wearing a glove with spikes and hit me in the face, so that's why I was hurt like this.] 】

I didn't think of anything, and I had a memory bias.

But because what he said was quite true, after hearing this, he believed it.

There are quite a few wise troops here, and they all seem to be more combative, which is a new situation.

Because according to their original understanding, with the fall of the Xuexia Temple, the wise army has broken through and left, and there is only the seriously wounded who have lost their ability to move, how can the seriously injured kill and wound his officers and soldiers?

There are at least more than a dozen wise soldiers, which is certain, but this is only the report of his deputy commander alone, maybe the wise army in it may be more than that, there are more miles!

He thought again:

Where did this wise army come from? He couldn't tell. This wise army is as elusive as a ninja. Anyway, it's a new situation anyway.

Because of his [boss] Maori Terumen, at the very beginning of this campaign, there was an order:

Whoever finds a wise army at any time and place will resolutely surround and destroy it;

If a new military situation is discovered, it must be reported to him immediately.

So the leader of the group hurriedly commanded his men and horses, surrounded this green field on all sides, and ordered not a wise army to rush out.

At the same time, he sent a message to the Maori Army, reporting the new situation he had discovered, and requesting that reinforcements be sent quickly.

He's going to fight to the death with the Wise Army here!

When the wise army is discovered, it resolutely surrounds and destroys it; If you find a new military situation, you can immediately report it to a higher level.

He's going to fight to the death with the Wise Army here!

This time, he was serious.

can't wait any longer, he's almost sixty, and if he can't be a samurai again, he will really have to regret it for the rest of his life.
