Isn't Matsunaga Nagayori a B?

Matsunaga Nagayori was also worried about the castle at this time, because although the little grain he got from the Hatano family seemed to be a lot and thousands of stones, not much actually fell into the hands of Matsunaga Nagayori.

In order to defeat the Hatano family, Miyoshi Nagakei sent his direct troops to Tanba to participate in the battle, and finally defeated the Hatano family by virtue of the numerical advantage. And after the war, the thing that Matsunaga Nagayori could get his hands on was this batch of grain.

When a part of the grain was sent to Miyoshi Masatsu, who led the army at that time, the actual grain that fell into the hands of Matsunaga Nagayori was only about 1,000 koku. And now the troops under the command of Matsunaga Nagalai also reach more than 6,000 people, and the cost of a day under the eating of horses and horses is also unusually large!

In fact, Matsunaga Nagayori never expected that the Tsugawa family would march towards Tamba in such a different way. Because throughout the ages, the people who went to Raku from the east have all been from Omi to Raku. After going so far to march from Wakasa, Tango, and Tanba, it was the first time that the Tsugawa family had arrived.

Therefore, in advance, Matsunaga Nagayori did not have any grain reserves, and he still thought that he would buy some grain after the price of grain fell back to last until this autumn harvest. As a result, the Tsugawa family called at this juncture, didn't this take the life of Matsunaga Nagayori?

At this time, Matsunaga Nagayori was located in Shiwai Castle, which was the residence of the Shikai Sect, located less than 20 miles east of Yagami Castle, and it was also a mountain castle that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the scale of this city is very small, and the city cannot accommodate a force of 6,000 people, so there are many people who have built separate formation houses near the city and set up formations outside the city.

Matsunaga Nagayori was in one of the camp houses at this time, and in front of him sat on his knees the Shinoi Kyoye and another retainer of the Hatano family, the Araki clan.

"Shiro and Saemon, the family already knows about the plight of the Hatano family, but the family really has no food to support the Hatano family, and the family is also helpless!" Inside the formation room, Matsunaga Nagayori said with a sad face.

"Bizen Guard!" Shinoi Kyoye moved his body forward a little, "Yagami Castle is the throat of Tanba, and once it is seized by the Tsugawa family, then it may not be easy to explain in front of the Bizen Shouden in front of the Chikuzen Shouden, right?" ”

"Are you threatening the family?" Matsunaga Nagayori's face darkened suddenly.

"This is a statement of fact!" The Tsukawa family this time, you and I are a coalition army, and if there is no food in the city, the family will not be able to support it for even half a month!" ”

"Please think twice!"

How can Matsunaga Nagayori not understand the importance of Yagami Castle, of course, Matsunaga Nagayori is not sincerely unwilling to give food, but Matsunaga Nagayori really can't take out so much food.

"It's not a secret, there are only more than two thousand stone grains left in this family now, and all the grain that was moved away in Bashang City has been handed over to the lord!" Matsunaga Nagayori said slowly, "But don't worry about Shiro and Saemon, there is always a way!" ”

"What's the solution?"

"Borrow!"

Shinoi thought that Matsunaga Nagayori could come up with a good solution, and it turned out to be something that the Hatano family had thought of a long time ago. The Araki clan on the side said loudly at this time, "Bizen Shou Palace, the entire Tanba grain has been purchased by the Tsugawa family in advance, where can I find so much food!" ”

"Tanba doesn't, then go somewhere else, like Settsu!" Matsunaga Nagayori said with a smile.

In fact, the best solution is to ask Miyoshi Changqing for help, but it will definitely be too late to come and go, because the Tsugawa family has already arrived in the city.

"In Settsu, Ikeda Castle is not far from Tamba, and Takayama Castle and Akutagawa Yamajo are also close to Yagi Castle, so it will only take two days to go back and forth, so it will definitely be in time!" Shikai said with relief.

Just as Matsunaga Nagayori was about to say something more, perhaps the heavens were favoring Matsunaga Nagayori and others, and the reinforcements had already come uninvited!

"My lord, the reinforcements from Takayama Castle Lord Takayama Hida Guardian Hall and Ikeda Castle Lord Ikeda Chikugo Guardian Hall have arrived!" A flag book opened the curtain and reported loudly.

"Oh!" Matsunaga Nagalai couldn't help but let out an exclamation at this time, this is really timely rain!

As he spoke, several samurai had already rushed in from outside, and when they saw Matsunaga Nagayori, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Takayama Tomote, the son of Hida Mamoru in Shimotayama, has seen Bizen Shouden!" ”

"In Shimobaraki, the retainer Araki Shimamori, I have come to support Bizen Shouden on the order of my lord Araki Settsu Mamoru to support Bizen Shouden!" It was Motokiyo Araki who spoke.

Matsunaga Nagayori was keenly aware of the unusual place in Araki Motoki's words, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't Shima Mamoru come here on the orders of Chikugo Mamoru (Ikeda Nagamasa)?" ”

The Araki family is a retainer of the Ikeda family, and even if they come to support, it will be the turn of a retainer of the retainers, and the Araki family is not qualified to send troops alone (before receiving the order of the lord's family)

Araki Motokiyoshi hurriedly explained, "Bizen Shouden doesn't know, the head of the Ikeda family, Ikeda Chikugo Shouden, and the Tsugawa family communicated with the Tsugawa family before, and the letters exchanged between the two sides were given to Miyoshi Chikuzen Shouden by the head of the family!" ”

"Ikeda Chikugo Mamoru has been executed by order of His Royal Highness Miyoshi Chikuzen Mamoru Order, and the lord of the family has already been given the old title of the Ikeda family, so I came to support the Bizen Shouden on the order of the lord of the family, Araki Settsu Mamoru (Araki Murashige)!" Araki Motokiyoshi said calmly.

Araki Motokiyoshi said that the cloud is light and light, Lao Tzu has worked hard in Tanba for so many years, and even the Naito family, which occupies one-third of Tanba's territory, has not yet gotten it. Araki Murashige didn't have much trouble acquiring the territory of the Ikeda family, which is one of the best people in Tsutsu!

"Araki Settsu Mamoru is really loyal, worthy of being a model of Settsu samurai!" Matsunaga Nagayori's mood at this time was complicated.

Motokiyoshi Araki smiled softly, and then sat aside.

Araki Motokiyo is a relative of Araki Murashige, the lord of Hanakuma Castle. Although his ability is mediocre, he is not unknown in history, and this thing is a very famous equestrian at the time, and he founded "Araki-ryu Equestrian". Later, he took refuge in Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but because of Toyotomi Hideji, he was sat down, and finally was pardoned for some reason, and went to Kyoto to live in seclusion, which was a good death.

After doing this, Matsunaga Nagayori set his eyes on Takayama Tomotoshi on the side, "Shuyun, I haven't asked the Takayama family for reinforcements yet, why did the Hida Shouden send reinforcements in such a timely manner?" ”

"Hehe, but there is a shortage of food in the palace before Beiqian?" Takayama Yuteru did not answer directly, but directly hit the sore spot of Matsunaga Nagayori.

Hehe, is there a shortage of food in the temple?" Takayama Yuteru did not answer directly, but directly hit the sore spot of Matsunaga Nagayori.

Matsunaga Nagayori nodded, and then continued to ask, "The family is indeed short of food, but where did Shuyun get this news?" ”
