Chapter 198: Meeting Fujimaru
Just when the generals of Echichu, Echigo, Aizu, and Shonai left one after another, Usami Dingman followed Asada into the inner room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Highness, it is bound to be strange that the Pure Land True Sect is now suspending its attack. The two places of Western Vietnam and Austria and Vietnam were the areas where the Pure Land Shinshu was spread for decades. Nagao Dan Shozaemon Captain Hall and Nagao Shinano Moriden attacked Echichu several times, but they were unable to completely eradicate the power of the Pure Land Shinshu. That's when Usami Jomitsu voiced his concerns.
"Is Suruga Mamoru afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of the Shozaemon Captain's Hall and the Shinano Moriden Shojo? Could it be that I will still be begged to death by a whim? Chao Ding couldn't help but laugh.
"There is a famous saying in the Tang Kingdom: 'Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years'. On the surface, there were 30,000 troops, but at this moment, they once again occupied the cities of Western Vietnam and Austria and Vietnam. I am afraid that many believers will follow them in fighting against their own family. "Usami Dingman didn't believe that Nanagi Yorishu, Sugiura Genren and others would remain indifferent after learning that the Uesugi army had increased to 37,000 troops, and then continued, "The thief head Shichiri Yorishu, Sugiura Genren and others will definitely send more reinforcements into Yuezhong, but I'm afraid that it will ・・・・・・ then."
"I don't remember that the temple once housed a special retainer during the astronomical years, and he was once the lord of Jiangnuma County, California." Chao Ding remembered a person, perhaps this person was the key to quickly defeating Yiwan this time.
"Your Highness is talking about that Fujimaru-sama・・・・・・" Usami Dingman immediately thought of the name of this special retainer - Fujimaru Katsutoshi.
"Yes, it is said that this person once fled all the way to Echichu after being defeated by Captain Asakura Saemon in the 24th year of Astronomy, and then found the shelter of the Unknown Temple." Although Chao Ding's details of this person are unknown, the time of defection is still clearer.
"Yes. At that time, after Captain Asakura Saemon invaded Kaga, he captured all the three border castles of Nango, Tsuba, and Senzu in one day, and annihilated thousands of Ichiku's army. Three days later, they invaded the hinterland of Enuma County. Presumably, it was at that time that Fujimaru-sama couldn't support it and was defeated. "Usami Dingman also admires Asakura Sodra very much, after all, at such an old age, he still insisted on sending troops to Kaga and won the battle merit.
"The Struggle of Heyue": Kaga Toko according to Honganji, cut the county, and asked for it to be cut down by the Kurakyo Sect. Jiaojing was seventy-nine years old at the time, and Asakura Yoshijing was old, and he was strong. On the 22nd, the Jiaojing entered Kaga, and the thieves Xiujinye, Nanjiang, and the three cities of Qianzu refused. Kyokei divided the army into three, so that Asakura Kei attacked Tsuba and Kurose, swept Yun to attack Nanjiang, and Fukuoka Goro Saemon attacked Senzu and pulled it out. Gorou Saemon was killed in battle. Horie Jingzhong attacked the Great Sage Temple Castle again and pulled it out. Jiaojing marched into battle in the Shiji Mountain, where it burned and plundered. On August 12, the thief Chaosheng Temple, Hetian, Kazuki, and Zhouqi led the people of the four counties to attack by different routes, and Jiaojing fought against the mountain, broke it, and pursued and beheaded 680 levels.
"It's a pity that the martial power of Asakura is no longer there." Chao Ding also sighed by the way.
However, it is reported that the three thousand troops of Shimoma Shoufa and Kurose Kakudo have arrived at Katsukoji Temple. Hirano Kamiemon, Shiraishi Ukin Lieutenant, Tokuda Kojiro, Suzuki Ukyo Ryo, Suzuki Sai Girl Masa, Suzuki Dewa Mamoru and other powerful generals also entered Western Vietnam along with these 3,000 reinforcements, and began to incite the people of Jobata, Tori, Kusangsan, Iguchi, Uchiyama, and Mt. Yiwang. It is expected that there will be at least 2,000 more troops in one fight. Usami then reported the bad news to Asada. The reason why he didn't say it at the military meeting was also to stabilize the morale of the military. For this reason, he also specially persuaded Kakizaki Keika and Okuma Ashide.
"If this continues, the purpose of suspending the offensive against you and others is to send reinforcements into Viethorn to increase the chances of victory." Chaoding also understood the reason why Kakizaki Keijia and others did not lose much under the tens of thousands of offensive attacks from the west and north.
"What His Highness said is extremely true, but I am afraid that now our army's strength is no longer superior to the situation・・・・・・" Usami Dingman originally wanted to fight a war of annihilation with the help of the army brought by the court, but now it seems that this plan has gone bankrupt.
"Mamoru Suruga, the plan now can only be ・・・・・・" Asada whispered directly to Usami Dingmi's side.
After a while, Usami Dingman thought about it a little more and felt that what Asadaki said was indeed a clever plan, but he was afraid that something would go wrong on the part of the executor.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to keep an eye on him. However, this key person should have seen it first. Chaoding is still very interested in this person.
"Yes."
Soon, Fujimaru Katsutoshi was taken by the messenger from the Kawaikawakan to Takaoka Castle overnight.
"His Majesty Fujimaru Shinsuke Katsutoshi sees the town government and Suruga Shouden." Fujimaru Katsutoshi appeared in front of Asada and Usami Dingmitsu in a shabby carcass.
"I've heard that Fujimaru-sama was once one of the leaders of the California Ichika before he left the Uesugi family, but I don't know if that's the case?" Asada felt that Fujimaru Katsutoshi looked similar to a wild samurai, and his armor was worn.
"Yes. However, since Captain Asakura Saemon led his army into California, he has captured several castles in a row and killed thousands of people. Even if they were attacked by the people of the four counties of Chaosheng Temple and other departments later, they still begged for more than 600 deaths. Every time Fujimaru Katsutoshi recalls this past, he can't help but feel that he is so lucky to be alive.
"I've heard all of these old things from Suruga Mamoru side, but at the moment there is an errand to bother Fujimaru-sama, how about you become the lord of Yachikoku after the deed?" Chao Ding first issued the empty invoice.
"Eight thousand stones?!" Fujimaru Katsutoshi was shocked by the empty invoice issued by Asada.
"Is it too little?" Chaoding thought that Fujimaru Katsutoshi felt less.
"Dare to ask what the ministers of the town government need to do? Why did you promise a reward of 8,000 stones? Fujimaru Katsutoshi was smashed by this sudden "big pie".
"You used to be the leader of a powerful group, so you need to go to Sugiura Xuanren to make a false report, and I will let Duan Zang be responsible for informing you of the specific content." After Chao Ding finished speaking, he knocked three times on the side with a folding fan, and Kato Akazo, who was dressed in a black ninja suit, appeared in front of Chao Ding.
"Please let the town government be safe, and hand it over to your subordinates as soon as you get the momentum. There are also some close friends of the ministers in California, and if our soldiers are in Kaga, they will be persuaded by the ministers to lead our army! Fujimaru Katsutoshi had already guessed the Uesugi family's intention to attack Kaga sooner or later, and he happened to take advantage of Asada's presence to tell him that he still had a few acquaintances.
"Oh?" Chao Ding suddenly became interested.
"Dissatisfied with the town government, Wakabayashi and Kameda in HB County and Ishikawa County in California have close personal relations with their subordinates." Katsutoshi Fujimaru continued.
"Wakabayashi? I remember that Wakabayashi Nagato Mamoru once fought with the main family and the Bunko Temple in Vietnam, can such a family be trusted? "Asadaki remembered that during the previous attack on the Echichu Raiders, the Wakabayashi family's army had obstructed the combined forces of Nagao and Uesugi, and even during the Echigo Yongroku Rebellion, he still sent some ronin and wild samurai to assist the rebels in fighting against the Uesugi army.
"Your Highness! Kameda Hayato Nagashiro and Wakabayashi Nagato Mori are close friends, and their ministers will definitely persuade them to become retainers of the Uesugi family! If you want to attack California and reduce resistance, you can only rely on their strength! Fujimaru Katsutoshi didn't convince Asamaru by saying this, but it made Usami Dingman on the side feel very reasonable.
"Your Highness, you should think about it. Kameda and Wakabayashi can muster at least 3,000 troops in Kaga Province, and their clans are also distributed in Kaga, so when the time comes・・・・・・, Usami Dingmitsumi also feels that Fujimaru Katsutoshi's request is not unreasonable.
"Got it, then everything is to defeat the Vietnamese domestic momentum. Let's not talk about the rest. "Asada, too, doesn't have the heart to take care of Kaga at the moment. After all, Noto is much easier to fight than Kaga.
"Yes."
After that, Fujimaru Katsutoshi was humiliated by everyone during the military meeting at Takaoka Castle as planned, and then he was ordered to 'expel the Uesugi Domain' by the Asada. Fujimaru Katsutoshi immediately expressed his 'great disappointment' with the Uesugi family, and went straight to Kuwasan Castle, where Sugiura Genren was located.
"Sugiura Iki Hobashi Hall!" As soon as Fujimaru Katsutoshi arrived at the castle, he first reported his name to the monks of Otemon, and then he was brought into the Honmaru Ohiroma to meet with the main leaders of the Honmaru Daihiroma, such as Sugiura Genren, Shimoma Toshibo, and Kurose Kakumichi.
"Fujimaru Shinsuke, the Mikawa Dharma Bridge Hall and the Chikugo Dharma Bridge Hall are all angry that you were once defeated and separated from the Pure Land True Sect, why do you only think of meeting us when the Buddhist army is in Vietnam now?" Sugiura Genren was angry at Fujimaru Katsutoshi's arrival at this moment, and directly yelled at him with angry eyes.
