453 Xinbata Shigejia
Wise Kogoro watched the battle from a slightly higher hill in the distance, watched it for a while, and then said to the flags of the Oda family on the side:
[It turns out that this is the [car suspension array] invented by Huo Quaigong, after the improvement of Uesugi Kenshin, it has been carried forward, and it has such a strong power, it seems that we all underestimated the Uesugi family before. γ
[Wise lord, since the Uesugi family has such a powerful tactic, why didn't they take it out earlier, and they had to be forced to use it until now, isn't this asking for trouble? γ
[Yes, this Uesugi Jinghu has lost even half of the country, is it too late to use this car to suspend the array? γ
The flags seem to be interested in this question, and they want to get an answer from Akekogoro.
Wise Kogoro shrugged his shoulders and said:
[Probably because this formation is not easy to train, and it ...... This formation is not invincible. γ
[Why, even the car suspension that was once used to defeat Takeda Shingenko has shortcomings? γ
Commander Qimoto asked.
[Not only is it a shortcoming, it's a fatal hole! ] γ
Wise Kogoro stared at the battle situation with a solemn face, and said:
[If it is a close encounter, this set of tactics is almost invincible, and the officers and soldiers are very close to each other and can support each other, but in the same way, because they are too close, the damage range caused by long-range attacks is greater. γ
[Wise man, can you be more detailed?] γ
[Have you read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? γ
[I haven't read it, but I've heard the story in it.] γ
[The current situation is the same as the configuration of Cao's warships during the Battle of Chibi. They are linked to each other with iron locks, if they are attacked by enemy fire. Then it's not just one ship or several ships that catch fire, they all have to suffer...... And the current situation. I dare to assure you all that if Date Masamune had taken out the iron cannons at this time, those iron cannons would have hit the enemy with their eyes closed, because there would have been almost no gaps between them. γ
γβ¦β¦γ
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wise Kogoro rode his war horse and said:
[This is why, in the Battle of Tetorigawa, Kenshin Gong did not use the car to suspend the formation. Hmph, the iron cannon came from the hands of the Southern Barbarians, as if it was specially designed to restrain the car from hanging overhang...... I can't look at it like this anymore, I have to go and tell Echigo-samaru that if we don't change the formation quickly, we will be the ones who will be defeated after all! γβ¦β¦
Kawada Nagajin is now surprisingly angry.
And the driving force that made him angry was the person standing in front of him, ten feet away.
That person was none other than a year ago. and the lord of Sinfatian City in northern Vietnam, who used to sit in the same camp with him, Xinfatian Chongjia.
γShinhata! How dare you appear in front of me! γ
Unlike Kawada's eyes, which are quick to erupt fire, Shinbata Shigeya's eyes are very bland, and even have a bit of a teasing taste:
[Kawada-sama.] I haven't seen you in a while, and seeing your spirit is so good, my heart is much more steady. γ
[Shut up!] I don't have much to say to you, a traitor. The Shinbata clan is a descendant of the Sasaki Genji clan and is a famous family that knows etiquette and observance. Your father and brother were both famous ministers who had worked their lives for the great cause of the Uesugi family, but you were a despicable and shameless traitor. You betrayed the Uesugi family and betrayed Echigo! γ
Hearing Kawada's insults, Shinhata's face sank.
[Kawada-sama, you can't say that, can you? My father and brother worked hard to help unify Echigo and conquer the world for Jing Gong and Kenshin Gong, so don't I have any credit? The Battle of Kawanakajima, the Echichu Crusade, the Battle of the Tetori River or something, which time was not my Shinbata Shigeya rushing to the front, when I was in the Tetori River, I was already attacking the main camp of the Oda army, if you could have done more at that time, maybe today's world is already the Uesugi family...... I've done so much for the Uesugi family, so it stands to reason that I should be able to get a relatively good treatment, right? I don't want to be able to serve as an old man like you, Lord Kawada, at least give me a suitable position, right!? γ
γβ¦β¦γ
Kawada Naga didn't say a word, in fact, he also knew that the Shinbata family had indeed paid a lot for the Uesugi family.
Shigeka Shinbata continued:
[But you see, what kind of seat did Echigo guard him? Don't say it's all the retainers.,Even within the Yangbei people.,My ranking is inconspicuous.,What kind of thing is that Honjo is prosperous?! When I followed Kenshin Gong to fight Kawanakajima, he was still an ignorant little ghost, and now it has climbed on my head, if it is an old senior retainer like Nakajo Keitai, it will be forgotten, what qualifications does Honjo have to be a head higher than me?! Is it because he has more feats than I do? β¦β¦ Bah! Don't think I don't know, the reason why Echigo Mamoru values him so much is just because he saved his life when he was in Tetorigawa, that kid from Honjo! So compared to him, my efforts in Tetorigawa can be regarded as almost in vain! γ
[Xinfatian, you can't say that......]
[Kawada-sama, this is not my problem alone, even you, Kawada-sama, who has always been loyal to the Uesugi family, I'm afraid that you have long been dissatisfied with the personnel orders of Echigo-samarum, right? γ
Kawada was furious.
[Don't talk nonsense here, no matter what the lord does, I will fully support it......]
[Duplicity is not interesting! Kawada-sama......]
Xinfa Tian Shigejia is not only a tiger general, but also a wise man who is good at perceiving the psychology of others, he said calmly:
[Although Lord Kawada is not our Echigo, he is also a senior minister in the family, and you who served as the chief minister under Kenshin Gong back then, but now you have been robbed of your position by Naoe Kane's little ghost, so you really don't have a little dissatisfaction? γ
γβ¦β¦γ
Kawada was choked and speechless.
Kawada Nagajin is not a genealogical retainer of the Uesugi (Nagao) family, not even Echigo, he himself is Omi, when Uesugi Kenshin went to Beijing, he recommended himself and became a member of the Uesugi clan, because he himself was influenced by the strong cultural atmosphere of Omi, can read and break, can speak well, and soon got the reuse of Uesugi Kenshin, at the peak, once sat in the Uesugi family, second only to the seat of the Uesugi Four Heavenly Kings.
It's a pity that with the death of Uesugi Kenshin, his personal official fortunes also began to decline, and with the sudden rise of Naoe Kanesu, coupled with his own frailty (according to the course of history, he died a few years ago), he slowly began to move away from core power.
If you want to talk about the dissatisfaction with Uesugi Jinghu, Kawada Naga's kiss will not be less than the Shinbata Shigejia.
But why, didn't he betray like Shigeta Shigeya? I'm afraid even he can't tell.
In fact, although the Shigejia of Shinbata is a retainer, but more often, they still regard themselves as people who raise the north, and what they do is given priority to their own family interests, which is extremely narrow-minded, so once the Uesugi family has any behavior that is sorry for his family, he immediately turns his face and denies people. And Kawada Naga is different, he completely sees himself as a retainer of the Uesugi family, and the big and small behaviors in his eyes are all linked to the national fortunes of the Uesugi family, and everything that goes against the interests of the Uesugi family is not allowed, so unless he is forced by Uesugi Jinghu to have no way out, he will not do anything to harm the interests of the Uesugi family.
This is the true way of bushido, giving up oneself and achieving the whole picture!
Seeing that Kawada Changqin didn't give a look, Xinfa Tian Shigejia was overjoyed and felt that his words had played a role, so he continued to persuade:
[People go to high places and water flows to low places, Kawada-sama, in fact, we are all all people, people who have been oppressed by Uesugi Keitor, he would rather believe in villains like Honjo Shigan or Naoe Kanesu, and he is not willing to reuse a loyal minister like us, such a confused and mediocre lord, where is it worth our allegiance? Come, join us, Date Misakumori-sama is in the prime of life, hard work, and is interested in replacing Oda Nobunaga, doing a great career, Kawada-sama, if you serve him, you will soon be able to make a name for yourself and make a contribution, and when Misasakamoru rules the world, you will be a minister of the dragon, and when the time comes, let alone the chief commissioner, even if it is a daimyo, Misakumori-sama will let you do it! γ
γGood...... Good for your sister!! γ
Kawada Changqin was in a complicated mood, and when he heard the persuasion of the Shigeya Shinbata, he instinctively opened his mouth, but when the words came to his mouth, he was agitated and sobered up.
It's dangerous! I'm almost going to fall for this guy, and the samurai's reputation is in jeopardy...... TNNDοΌ I can't let this guy talk nonsense here anymore, I'm going to have to kill him and get angry for the lord!"
Kawada Nagajin pulled out his katana and said loudly:
[Shinhata, you don't have to demagogue here, Echigo samurai, stand up to the sky, I will never betray the Uesugi family, you traitor, I want your life today! ] γ
Seeing that his plan was discovered, Xinfa Tian Shigejia became angry and ashamed.
γGood!γ Good! Good! I've told you all the good things, but you're still so oily and salty, okay! Don't blame me, Naga Kawada! β¦β¦ Raise the north and attack! γ
The Shinbata army was mainly cavalry, and after Shinbata Shigeie's order, more than a thousand cavalry behind him rushed towards Kawada Nagakin.
As if thinking of the situation when the 1,500 foot light of the Kawada army less than 100 meters on the opposite side was trampled into meat sauce by their galloping war horses, a hideous smile appeared on that person's face.
The cavalry of Xinbata was very close to the Kawada army. And Kawada Naga's face was still expressionless.
[Hehe, since the Honjo Rebellion was put down, I haven't fought against Yangbei for many years, and I didn't expect to get the opportunity this time! β¦β¦ Combat! (To be continued......)
