456 Loss of trust
Why Date Masamune wants to end the war so quickly is because of this, whether it is war or peace, he must quickly withdraw from the whirlpool of this war, otherwise, the financial crisis will completely crush the Date family.
In this case, Date Masamune will definitely not have any other big expenses in order to reduce the fiscal deficit, let alone buy a large number of iron runs.
Maybe at this moment, even he himself understands what it means to be [Poor Soldiers]!
In fact, the combat effectiveness on the battlefield must be linked to the economic strength of a military group, and if it is divorced from the scope of economic strength, the battles that develop are at best short-lived.
This lesson can only be understood after suffering a loss, Date Masamune can not be said to be a sad person!
In Wuhai's camp, that is, in the camp of the Oshu Date Army, there was already a lot of noise.
Date Masamune, who had already learned about the battle, angrily pulled out the weapon in his hand and looked around with his eyes.
He said hatefully:
[It's a shame that the battle is like this! β¦β¦ Isn't this kind of thing like a car suspension array a long time ago supposed to follow Uesugi Kenshin into the coffin? When was it taken out again?! γ
Feeling Date Masamune's killing intent, the retainers sitting below also had a chill, and several old ministers turned their eyes to Date Huimune, hoping that he could come forward to persuade Date Masamune.
But Date Huizong didn't say a word from beginning to end, allowing his son to be furious.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as Date Terumune speaks, Date Masamune can be regarded as having a great reason. You have to keep your head down.
But it was Date Masamune's teacher, but Endo Kinobu said:
[Lord. Withdraw your troops. γ
Date Masamune was in a state of fire and had nowhere to vent, when he saw Kishin Endo hitting the muzzle of the gun like this. Naturally, it gave him a good reason to lose his temper.
γEndo-sama! What do you mean?! Just a few casualties to let me withdraw my troops, are you deliberately making me a turtle with a shrunken head?! γ
was yelled at by Date Masamune, Endo Kishinobu's face suddenly became pale and weak, and the generals shook their heads for a while, Endo Kishinobu's words were not unreasonable, in the case of not being able to find a way to crack the car suspension formation for a while, it was not a bad idea to withdraw the troops, and rushing forward in such a stunned manner would only be a dead end.
And. Date Masamune just said "shame", but now he said that it is [a little casualty], which is really incomprehensible to his mind, I guess he himself is quite conflicted, that is, he is angry at the huge casualties, and he doesn't want to retreat so easily.
The most important thing is that Kinobu Endo is not an ordinary person, he is Date Masamune's teacher, and as the saying goes: [Master and apprentice are like father and son]. But your attitude towards others just now, don't say it's [father and son], I'm afraid that you don't even have the most basic courtesy from a junior to your elders, which is really bad.
A few of them looked at Date Terumune again. found that the old lord still didn't say a word.
However, they compared Date Masamune's anxious jumping up and down with Date Terumune's calm and relaxed demeanor. They all shook their heads in their hearts. The current lord really doesn't look like an emperor when he wears a dragon robe. Where is it like the patriarch of the famous Date clan, which has been passed down for 400 years? It's more like a mountain monkey running out of nowhere.
Actually, Date Masamune's heart is not good. Although he was angry at his teacher, in fact, he knew that this was actually for his own good, but even so, he still relied on his own temperament.
This is a common problem of young people, who only want to be happy for a while, but ignore that they are hurting the people around them with iron teeth and copper teeth.
Date Masamune took a breath and said:
[Uesugi Keitora and Akechi Kogoro must be laughing at my incompetence right now, so I'm definitely not going to back down...... After that, I will personally lead the army and attack the enemy. See one kill one, see two kill a pair, and avenge those dead officers and soldiers! γ
Date Masamune's words contained too much hatred and anger, since he came to the first time, he had never fought such an embarrassing defeat, and although the battle of Origamihara a year ago was fierce and dangerous, he had survived the same.
Therefore, he must win this battle, blocking his samurai reputation and the 400-year fortune of the Date family.
Seeing Date Masamune like this, Oni Ting Zuo Yuesai finally couldn't stand it anymore, and most of his reserve was crushed by the Uesugi family's car overhanging, and most of them were killed and wounded, and even his son, the only heir of the Oni Ting family, was still lying unconscious on the hospital bed because of his serious injuries and excessive blood loss.
If his own son is still like this, it is even more conceivable how pitiful the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front line are.
As the first fierce general of the Date family, although Ghost Court Zuo Yuezhai is known for his sternness in governing the army, he is also an old man who loves soldiers like a child, and the officers and soldiers love him while they are afraid of him.
Seeing that Aozhou's soldiers were in Wuhai in vain, this foreign place, Zuo Yuezhai of the Ghost Court was of course distressed.
Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, looking at the past and present, which famous general has not lost a battle? Takeda Shingen has [Minowa's defeat], Uesugi Kenshin has [Odawara's defeat], and Oda Shogun also lost many battles in order to capture Mino?
What happened to losing the battle? Who hasn't hit? It can even be said that only those who have lost battles can be regarded as real celebrities.
If you lose a battle, you can better examine your own strength and the strength of the opponent, so as to prepare for the next plan, and from some perspectives, the significance of defeat is greater than victory.
But now Date Masamune has been completely enraged by the defeat, not only has he lost the calm demeanor that a general should have, but now for the sake of personal reputation, he wants to push the entire Oshu samurai regiment into the abyss of hell, which is absolutely intolerable!
So, he didn't care about the etiquette between the monarch and the minister, and directly stood up and shouted:
γLord! Until now, are you still delusional about destroying the Uesugi army on the other side?! It's just impossible! γ
In the face of the anger of the ghost court Zuo Yuezhai, Date Masamune was stunned for a moment, although he used a louder tone, as if he wanted to declare his disobedience, and said:
γLeft Moon!γ Are you looking down on me?! γ
[It's not a matter of being able to afford or look down on, the situation realized is simply irreparable! γ
γImpossible!γ Should I be defeated here? I won't lose the battle, even if I die, I'll die here! γ
[With all due respect, you can fight to the death for your honor, but ...... What will we do when you die? If you let the enemy's chariot hang in battle and continue to slaughter all the way, the foundation of the entire Oshu samurai will be shaken! γ
γβ¦β¦ Yikes! γ
Listening to the words of the ghost court Zuo Yuezhai, Date Masamune was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he dared to love that he couldn't even die!
What a depressing thing to do!
He couldn't think of a reason to refute it, so he turned around and kicked the coffee table to the ground, the teacup was knocked over, and the water flowed to the ground.
The current Oshu samurai should be in the same boat, not continue to fight.
Date Masamune, who took two deep breaths, waved the sword in his hand and roared loudly:
[Can't it be so cheap enemy...... The brothers of the Ozhou Army who are willing to send troops with me to besiege and kill the Han army are standing beside me! γ
As soon as he finished speaking, people stood behind him one after another.
If you take a closer look, you will find that the people standing next to Date Masamune are all relatively young people, and they are the young Zhuang faction that Date Masamune intends to support in recent years.
However, there are very few elderly people or middle-aged people who are willing to join Date Masamune's actions.
Date Masamune glanced at everyone and was slightly disappointed when he saw that he couldn't get the support of his ministers, but he didn't say anything more, and left with a group of people.
When Date Masamune left, the ghost court Zuo Yuezhai spoke:
[Hui Zonggong, can you please save Date and the family? In this way, let the lord toss, not to mention the great cause of the Date family, I am afraid that even our foundation in Oshu will not exist...... I beg you, Hui Zonggong, please go out of the mountain, only you can save the Date family! γ
As he said this, he knelt down in front of Date Terumun and said in a sobbing tone.
The people around him were sad when they heard it, everyone knew that Zuo Yuezhai of the Ghost Court had fought in the north and south in this life, with a hot temper, loyal and upright, for his own beliefs, he would even clash with anyone, Date Huizong was no exception, this kind of character, even if he was old, he had not changed much, it could be said that he was a man who stood up to the sky and the earth and was iron-clad. But now, this old man, who never bends down, has lowered his voice to this point for the sake of the family he is loyal to.
It can be seen in his heart how important the Date family is!
Date Terumune was also taken aback, he thought that the ghost court Zuo Yuesai had come to ask him to help advise Date Masamune, but he didn't expect the latter to make such a move.
[Yes, Huizong Gong...... Oh no, old lord, please re-serve as the lord of the Date family, although the young master is both civil and military, he is an immortal genius, but after all, he is still too young, we have lost this battle, only by retreating from here and returning to Ozhou, can we make the next step, the young master can't see through all this...... Please decide, my lord, you will be able to lead us out of this predicament, just like you did back then. γ
Endo Kishin walked to the side of Ghost Court Zuo Yuesai and knelt down as well.
And as the two of them knelt down, all the [Old Central Sect] retainers in this formation knelt down in unison, almost all of them were people who had followed Date Huizong to birth and death back then, and seeing that the Date family was now slipping into the abyss step by step, the anxiety in their hearts was self-evident.
