514 The Fall of the Devil (Part II)
Tamu Mototada also said:
[Yes, I thought that Mr. Shang would never go out of the mountain in your life, but I didn't expect that in my lifetime, you could still be. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.infoγγγγγ γ
Before he could finish his sentence, Hojo Tsusunari grabbed him by the shoulder.
[Eh, Lord Zhou Defense, you and I were both five-color people back then, do you still need to see the outside like this? ] γ
When he was in charge of the five-color preparation, Hojo Tsunashi was in charge of [Yellow Preparation], and Tamu Mototada was in charge of [Black Preparation], although the position was similar, but Tamu Mototada has always been full of respect for Hojo Tsunari.
[Alas, we are all oldγγγγγγ But this battle was really painful, it just reminded me of the night battle of Kawagoe many years ago, haha. γ
Hojo Tsunari smiled and said:
[Where is it, the bravery of Lord Tamu is not reduced at all, but what, my little grandson Shi Sheng, is completely incomparable with Gong Kang, so I still need Lord Tamu, as well as all the adults present, to give me more adviceγγγγγγ The old decay is in the main force, please adults. γ
As he spoke, he bowed to those present along with Hojo Katsu.
[Mr. Shangsuke, I can't help it! γ
[Where, how dare we let you see it?!] γ
[Samurai assistant general, it should have been, don't be so polite?! ] γ
[Yes, we should be here to salute you! γ
γγγγγγ
Everyone understands now, the reason why the military generals of the Hojo family are so polite to the young Hojo clan Katsumi is entirely because of the relationship between his grandfather and Hojo Tsunari, and this Dihuang Hachiman is in the army, although he himself did not participate in this military operation, but it still makes the generals who came to the camp feel uplifted.
Of course, Hojo Tsunari's affairs in the army, except for the inner circle within the army, as well as the Hojo clan father and son who are far away in Odawara Castle, few people know, and Satake Yoshishige only learned about the news after the city was broken.
By the way, you may be asking me, where did Yoshishige Satake and his son go?
Oh, behold, they were right behind Hojo Tsunari, but their hands were tied.
[Grandfather, how did you catch Satake Tsunechi guarding them? γ
Hojo asked eagerly.
[This is simple, I caught it at the West City Gate. γ
γWest City Gate?γγγγγγ Oh, I see! γ
Hojo Katsu clapped his hands and said with a smile:
[When we were searching, because we considered that Hitachi Mamoru might flee to Mito Castle, we focused on searching the east gate and the north gate, and the west gate and the south gate, because they were the direction of the army's process, were ignored by meγγγγγγ Mamoru Tokiro, you are indeed a resourceful person! Admire! γ
γγγγγγγ γ
Yoshishige Satake glanced at Hojo Katsuna coldly, and then at Hojo Tsunari.
[I thought it was a little ghost, but in fact it was the Rehmannia Hachiman who was in chargeγγγγγγ It was my pride and carelessness, but today I was defeated, and I was convinced and let it be disposed of. γ
said that it was [at its disposal], Satake Yoshishige was still full of arrogance, and he didn't feel like a defeated general at all, and in this regard, Hojo Clan Gui sneered.
[Haha, Mamoru Toki, you have been in trouble with your family all these years, and you think that everything will be fine with Oda Nobunaga to support youγγγγγγ Hehe, I didn't expect it to be today! γ
[Phew!] γ
Yoshinobu Satake on the side suddenly spat him.
[You things! If it weren't for the mongrels of the Thirty-Three Cities secretly colluding with you and opening the gates, how would we have failedγγγγγγ If you have the ability, let's pull away the people and horses, and do it with real knives and guns in this plain clearing! γ
[Stinky little ghost! You don't want to live anymore!! γ
Hojo Rules, who was foaming at the mouth, was suddenly furious, and picked up the horsewhip to beat Satake Yoshinobu.
[Wait a minute, Lord Clan, let me say a few words to this little ghost.] γ
γGoodγγγγγγ Okay, Mr. Kamisuke-sama. γ
Hojo glared at Yoshinobu Satake viciously and put down the whip.
[Presumably you are the son of Yoshinobu of the Satake family? ] γ
[Hmph! γ
[The art of war is inherently ever-changing, and anything can be done for victory, so we are not wrongγγγγγγ And according to what you just said, even if we go head-to-head, you will still be the losers. γ
γγγγγγγ γ
[We have 15,000 people, and you don't even have 10,000 people, and we still have five colors, dare to ask you, how much is your combat power? γ
γγγγγγγ γ
Yoshinobu Satake turned his head and stopped talking.
Hojo Tsunari says:
[General, send this father and son to Odawara Castle, only Lord Regent can tame them. γ
γOkay.γ γ
Hojo Tsunari knows very well that people like Yoshishige Satake have been against the Hojo family for a lifetime, and it is simply a fool's dream to want them to be obedient and use them for their own use.
But he didn't plan to kill Satake Yoshishige, but let their father and son accept house arrest in Odawara Castle, this is to better control Changlu, the Satake family has been operating here for many years, and many people still miss the kindness of the Satake family in their hearts, if you kill Satake father and son when this kind of people are undecided, it is easy to arouse public anger and even riots, which they will never allow to happen.
After Satake and his son were escorted away by Kimoto, Tamu Mototada seemed to remember something and asked:
[Mr. Kamisuke-sama, can you catch Ota Zimasa? ] γ
Ota is a famous Kanto general, and he has been fighting against the Hojo family all his life, and from this point of view, he and the Satake family have the same purpose, so the two factions easily came together.
[I didn't find out, probably he had already fled with his retainers.] γ
[Then we will issue a wanted document in Changlu Province to arrest Ota Zimasa and his retainers, such an old stubborn can't let him escape so easily.] γ
Hojo Katsutsu was about to give an order, but was stopped by Hojo Tsunari.
[There's no need for that, if Ota Shimasa wants to escape, he will either go to Ueno or Aizuγγγγγγ It's good to let him go, anyway, even the Oda family doesn't dare to touch us now, and he can't make any waves with Ota Zizheng. γ
[Butγγγγγγ γ
Hojo wanted to say something, but Tamu Mototada gave him a look and motioned him not to talk more.
Only Tamu Mototada can understand Hojo Tsunari's thoughts, and in the future, it seems that Rehmannia Hachiman still wants to compete with Ota Shimasa again.
While Ota Castle was celebrating the victory, Sagami-Odawara Castle, the Hojo clan father and son were faced with a letter and were puzzled.
Hojo Sagami Moridai γγγγγγ This time, there is really a reluctant request. We have been invited to the tea party many times before, but Your Excellency is busy with official business, has a lot of doubts, and there are all kinds of rumors between the government and the oppositionγγγγγγ
At the beginning, it doesn't matter, it is to introduce the tea party of the Shibata family, which is already a rehash of the old tune for the Hojo father and son, they will never go to the tea party in Ueno, no matter how many letters Shibata Katsuya writes himself, it will only be this result.
But this letter is different from the previous one, and there is an additional name on the psychological side -- Wise Kogoro.
In terms of identity, Wise Kogoro is not comparable to Hojo and his son, but he is in Kyoto, which has left a deep impression on Hojo and his son.
In the letter, Shibata Katsuya repeatedly mentioned Wise Kogoro, and he was also hinting that Hojo and his son, Wise Kogoro, had arrived in Ueno!
Hojo father and son were quite surprised, after a victory, the wise Kogoro did not return to Kyoto to receive the reward, but ran to Kanto, he is really idle!
But even then, there's no need to mention an irrelevant person.
But the last sentence made the father and son unable to sit still -- the letter said that Wise Kogoro wanted to visit the Hojo father and son in Kanhachishu, but after going to Musashi, there was no news, may I ask the Hojo father and son, do you know the whereabouts of the wise Kogoro?
[Wise Kogoro came to Kanto? And want to visit us?γγγγγγ Haha, Shibata Katsuya is also old and confused, hahaγγγγγγ γ
Hojo laughed mercilessly at the contents of the letter.
[Didn't Oda Nobunaga mention it a long time ago in the "Laws of the Samurai" in the "Tensho Entry"? Without the permission of the public side, the shogunate samurai were not allowed to befriend the samurai of the foreign domain without permission, I don't remember when we became allowed people, and besides, this wise Kogoro is just a shogunate, what qualifications do you have to make friends with us?! Ha ha...... γ
[That's what I'm suspicious of, how could Wise Kogoro come to visit us, and he just disappeared in Musashi, what's going on?] γ
[Father, can't you see this? Eighty percent is a wise kid, when he was playing in Kanto, he didn't know what was going on, and suddenly disappeared all of a sudden, and Shibata Katsuya was afraid of being offended by Oda Nobunaga, so he wanted to shift the blame to usγγγγγγ Hmph, this old thing is really old and confused, this kind of clumsy idea can be seen through by a person! γ
γStraight! It is precisely because you can see through it at a glance that you are puzzled by your fatherγγγγγγ If you think about it, this Shibata Katsuya is also an old ghost, how could he come up with such an unpopular idea? γ
So, Father, do you mean to sayγγγγγγ γ
[Maybeγγγγγγ Wise Kogoro has really had an accident, and it's in our realm! γ
[Won't youγγγγγγ This is a big deal, in case it is really investigatedγγγγγγ γ
Hojo Masa stood up, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, and suddenly said:
[What about Kotaro? Does he know about it? γ
Kotaro refers to Kotaro the Wind Demon. Wind Demon Kotaro's family has served the Hojo clan for generations, and is extremely capable and loyal. (To be continued.) )
