Chapter 771: The Battle of Ohanazawa (Finale)
"Why did the lord agree to such a request from Tiantong Lai? This family is now carrying a great victory, and there is no room for the Tiantong family to put forward any conditions with the family! After returning to the main camp, the wise ten guards said to Tsugawa Soji with a puzzled expression.
Soji Tsugawa nodded slightly, "That's true!" ”
"But what this family values is the influence of the Tendo family in the Hazen area! It's easy to defeat the likes of Mogami and Tento, but it's not so easy to completely conquer the land under our feet, at least not in the short term! Didn't Date Minoru also defeat Mogami Yoshisada and enter Murayama County? However, with the strength of the Date family back then, it was not enough to completely subjugate the people of Murayama County, Mogami County and other places, and the territory that the family didn't want to get was a place where the territory broke out all day and was extremely unstable. Soji Tsugawa continued.
"The likes of the Tendo family are no longer a concern for the family now, but in order to be able to quickly integrate the territory of the Hazen region, it is most appropriate to temporarily subordinate these people to the family. Of course, if they can do their best to the family like Takizawa and Yajima, the family doesn't mind letting the Tendo family continue to exist, but if it is against the family, the Akao Tsu family's lessons are not far away! A gleam flashed in Tsugawa's eyes.
After saying that, Tsugawa Soji set his eyes on the wise Shibei, and then said, "How old are the Shibei now??? ”
Wise Shibei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "It's already 17, and it's almost eighteen!" ”
"Why haven't you served yet?" Soji Tsugawa continued to chat with Akechi Shibei about family matters.
The wise Shibei scratched his head, and then said slowly, "Uncle, I originally wanted to serve the next generation, but I put it on hold for the time being because I have been busy with government affairs. ”
"The word of the wise family seems to be a light word, right?" Soji Tsugawa continued to ask.
"Hah!" Wise Ten Guards hurriedly replied, Hearing this, Wise Ten Guards had already roughly guessed what Tsugawa Soji was going to do, and there was a faint excitement and anticipation in his heart.
Tsugawa Soji stood in this camp, and he had a plan in his heart for the matter of giving Wise Ten Soldiers Ei Yuanfu, after all, the average samurai Yuanfu is 14-16 years old, and it is really rare for a samurai like Akechi Shibei to be almost 18 years old and have not yet served Yuanfu.
However, Tsugawa Soji has been thinking about a problem, that is, the name of the Yuan Fu of the Wise Ten Soldiers, according to the history of the Wise Ten Soldiers after the Yuan Suit, it is called the Wise Ten Soldiers Guard Mitsuhide. If Tsugawa Soji held a Yuan dress ceremony for him, and if he brought a black hat, he would naturally give a word to Akechi Mitsuhide, so that it would either be called Akechi Somitsu or Akechi Zhiguang, so it would undoubtedly not be the name in history.
Although a lot of history has changed since the crossing, Tsugawa Soji still wants to make the name of the Motofu of the Akechi Ten Guards Akechi Mitsuhide. This is not out of respect for history, but to meet the needs of a wide range of readers....... So, Soharu Tsugawa finally chose to compromise.
"In that case, why don't you have this family preside over the Yuan Dress Ceremony for you, as your black hat pro?" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile on his face to the wise Shibei.
Wise Shibei's heart suddenly raced, and he said loudly, "Thank you, lord!" ”
As the governor of the Tsugawa family, it is a great honor to be able to personally preside over the Motofu ceremony for the wise Shibei and wear a black hat, which can be seen from the eyes of the flagships such as Yajima Tadabei and Izumi Gojiro in the main camp.
"After capturing Ohanazawa City, my family will personally gather the retainers to hold a Yuan dress ceremony for you!" Soji Tsugawa looked up at the sky, (This formation has no roof, it is a curtain surrounded by four pieces of cloth.) Then he said, "The battle is almost over here, who is the foreign affairs liao with the army this time?" ”
The wise ten guards suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and then quickly replied, "It's Yamaguchi-sama!" ”
"Then let Yamaguchi Changjiao go to Ohana Ze Castle, at this time, our Yuzhou Exploration Lord must not be very flustered, haha!" As he spoke, Soji Tsugawa couldn't help but burst out laughing.
.......
As Soharu Tsugawa said, the current Ohanazawa Castle can be described as a panicked city, not only the ashigaru soldiers have no desire to fight, but even the samurai of the Mogami family are frowning, their eyes full of uneasiness and confusion.
Mogami Yoshimaru sat in the castle tower of Ohana Ze Castle with a dejected face, covering his face with his hands as if he couldn't see the light, and the two retainers next to him, Wakagi Masashi and Gu Meal, sat in the castle tower one left and one right, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't dare to come out of the atmosphere.
"My lord! Lord! At this time, a hurried voice suddenly sounded outside the castle tower, and before the person who spoke could enter the castle tower, Mogami Yoshimori, who had been sitting quietly on the main seat, suddenly jumped up.
"Guang'an, what's the situation? Has Iyo (clan Dingzhi) ever stabilized the war outside the city? Mogami Yoshimori looked at Shimura Mitsuyasu's eyes with a look of hope, how much he hoped to get a better news from Shimura Mitsuyasu's mouth.
Shimura Mitsuyasu shook his head, and then said helplessly, "Lord, the general trend has gone!" The tide is gone......."
"How... What's wrong...."Mogami Yoshimori swallowed his saliva, his body trembling slightly.
Shimura Mitsuyasu sighed, held the body of Mogami Yoshimori, and said slowly: "Half an hour ago, Tiantong Lai Changqin led a force of about 300 people to raid the Tsugawa family's main formation, trying to win the head of Tsugawa Soji and turn things around in one fell swoop!" ”
"But just now, the Tiantong family suddenly surrendered to the Tsugawa family, and now the Tsugawa family's main formation has been stationed outside the Tiantong City, and it is about to launch an attack!" Shimura Mitsuyasu said in a choked voice. Rao is a samurai, and when faced with such a situation at home at this moment, Shimura Mitsuru also has mixed feelings.
After listening to Shimura Mitsuyasu's words, Mogami Yoshimori's whole person seemed to have lost his strength, and he stammered, "How... How could it be.. Will it be? ”
"What about the 3,000 nationals outside the city? The 3,000 troops in the city! Isn't there only three or four thousand people in the Tsugawa family? How so! How so! Mogami Yoshimori didn't want to believe what he heard, and roared loudly inside the castle tower.
After a long while, maybe it was enough to shout, or maybe it was to recognize the reality, Mogami Yoshimori finally quieted down, "Guang'an, Tail Flower.. Can Ohanazawa Castle still be held? ”
"It's hard!" Shimura Mitsuyasu shook his head and said, "Without the support of troops outside the city, it will be difficult to block the attack of the Tsugawa family with a castle of the size of Ohanazawa Castle. The most important thing is that there is no food in the city to supply 3,000 troops for a long time, and according to the food that the ashigaru people carry with them, the family can only stay in the city for three days! ”
"Then let's run away!" Mogami Yoshimori suddenly said excitedly.
However, the answer to the most righteous is still a scoop of cold water, "It's useless!" Ohanazawa Castle was surrounded on three sides by the forces of the Tsugawa family. As for the south, half an hour ago, Naomitsu Naomitsu led the forces of the Nagajing family to withdraw from the south to the territory, but was blocked by the Tsugawa family's Mizutani Kuji team, and this road was not feasible at all. ”
"So my family can't be beaten, and I can't escape?" Mogami Yoshimori said with a sad face and a sad tone.
Just as Shimura Mitsuyasu wanted to answer, a Samurai of the Mogami family quickly ran in from outside the castle tower.......
