On the 14th day of July in the 15th year of astronomy, the conflict between the Tsugawa family, the overlord of Yugo, and the Mogami family of the Hashu Exploration Question, finally broke out after several "negotiations" to no avail.

On July 15, the two sides exchanged war letters, and the Tsugawa family blocked all roads along the road between Murayama-gun and Mogami County. Subsequently, Tsugawa Soji's main camp was moved from Ohanazawa Castle to the east side of Mogami River, and was deployed 10 miles south of Ohanazawa Castle.

At the same time, the head of the Mogami family, Mogami Yoshimori, also led the Mogami family troops to be stationed in the area of Kazuoka Castle, echoing the growth of the tendo in the city.

.....

The city is one of the top eight of the strongholds. At this time, more than half of the people of the Hazen region were already sitting in the castle tower of Kazuoka Castle, and Mogami Yoshimori took the throne.

After everyone sat down, the old family of the Mogami family stood up straight and said to everyone in the hall, "Everyone! We are gathered here today to fight against the Tsugawa family's invasion of our Hazen region! Nowadays, all the people in Murayama County are here, except for a few people such as the Hanhejiang family and the Ayubei family! ”

"After today's statistics, our coalition army now has 6,700 ashigaru, even the Tsugawa family is not worried!" The family said in an uplifting tone, hoping to use these to inspire the people in the palace.

Sure enough, after hearing the words of the clan's Dingzhi, the faces of the people sitting in the hall also began to be filled with confidence, as if the Tsugawa family was really vulnerable.

However, in the crowd, there was only one samurai whose face was very ugly, even distorted.

"Why is the lord unhappy?" At this moment, a concerned voice came from the samurai's side.

Yan Ze replied in a heavy tone, "Ishimi Mamoru, is there any news of the lady and the young master?" ”

"Not yet!" The old Takahashi Ishimi of the Yanze family shook his head, "There are no troops in Yanze City, according to the news that came yesterday, Yanze City has been captured by Miki Naogo, the general of the Tsugawa family. The lady and the young master were escorted out of Yanze City by Chunjiro and others in advance, so it shouldn't be a big deal, the lord and relax. ”

"Relax?" Yan Ze smiled self-deprecatingly when he heard this, and then said, "The family has lost its territory now, and the people of Tiantong Lai Chang and Mogami Yoshimori do not think of taking the initiative to repel the Tsugawa family, but they are talking about it here!" Could it be that the number of ashigaru is larger than that of the Tsugawa family, and the Tsugawa family will withdraw their troops? ”

"My lord! Now that the Tsugawa family has just arrived, it is the time when the soldiers are at their peak, and if they attack rashly, they will definitely not take advantage of it. Mogami and Tendo must have some concerns, so the lord might as well wait patiently. Takahashi Ishimimoru didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort Yan Ze's full emotions first.

At this moment, the hall suddenly calmed down, Yan Ze turned his head with a puzzled face, only to see that Mogami Yoshimori, who was sitting on the main seat before, suddenly stood up from his position, and then came to the center of the main hall to stand still, "Everyone! It's been half a month before the Tsugawa family sent troops, although it was only yesterday that the war with us was officially declared, but during this time, there was a lot of fire in your hearts, right? ”

"Especially Lord Yanze!" As he spoke, Mogami Yoshimaru suddenly came to Yan Ze Manzhong's side and said with a smile, "The territory of the Yan Ze family was captured by the Tsugawa family yesterday, and Lord Yan Ze is anxious, right?" ”

"What does this mean? Could it be that he came to mock the family on purpose? Yan Ze Manzhong was blinded by Mogami Yoshimori's sudden words, and thought that Mogami Yoshimori was deliberately mocking himself.

"Haha!" Mogami Yoshimaru smiled and said, "Lord Yanze, don't get me wrong, this family has no such intentions!" The meaning of this family is that now that our coalition forces are together, it's time for the Tsugawa family to see how powerful we are. ”

"No!" As soon as Mogami Yoshimori's voice fell, Lai Chang, a tendo sitting on the side, directly refused: "Don't you know the combat power of the Tsugawa family?" Now that the Tsugawa family is full of fighting spirit, the best way for us is to drag! ”

"Due to the heavy rain along the Mogami River for half a month, the water level has risen, and the surrounding roads are muddy, and it is impossible to march at all! Aooka Castle guards the main road between Funasangyama and Hayama, we only need to be in Aooka Castle Cage Castle! ”

"In addition, Shiratori-sama and Kumano-sama are waiting in Shiratori Castle Cage Castle, and the Tsugawa family will not be able to break through our defense line no matter what! When the morale of the Tsugawa family is exhausted, our troops will attack each other from Kakuoka Castle and Shiratori Castle in two ways, one left and one right, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Tsugawa family in one fell swoop! ”

"When the Tsukawa family is defeated, Osaki, Kasai, and even Shimizu, Sasaki and other forces will attack the Tsugawa family and intercept the retreat of the Tsugawa family! In this case, maybe it will be Tsugawa Soji's turn to surrender to us! Tiantong Lai Chang said as he looked at the other countrymen.

After Tiantong Lai Chang finished speaking, Miyasu Kazuoka, Higashi Masanaga, Nagashi Naomitsu and others echoed their voices!

And at this time, Yan Ze Manzhong, who was originally sitting on the side without saying a word, suddenly stood up with a "poof", and said loudly to Tiantong Lai, "Lord Tiantong, your territory is behind this Yanggang City, of course you can say that!" But the territory of the family has been occupied by the Tsugawa family, and now the life and death of the wife and children under the are uncertain, if the main hall wants to take the initiative to attack the Tsugawa family, I Yanze is full of wishes for the front! After speaking, Yan Ze was full of weight and solemnly bowed to the supreme righteous guard.

Tiantong Lai Chang's face was a little unsightly after hearing Yan Ze Manzhong's words, you must know that Yan Ze Manzhong has always worn the same pants with Tiantong Lai Chang, and now he actually supports Mogami Yoshimori to refute his decision, which makes Tiantong Lai Chang very angry in his heart.

On the other hand, Mogami Yoshimori smiled and said to Yan Ze Manzhong, "Lord Yan Ze is worthy of the name of a warrior, but without the support of Lord Tento, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Tsugawa family with the strength of you and me alone!" As he spoke, Mogami Yoshimori looked at Yan Zeman with regret and helplessness, and then said lonely, "Since you don't approve of sending troops, then listen to what Lord Tiantong said and defend in the cage city of Aogang Castle." ”

After saying that, Mogami Yoshimori slowly walked out of the castle tower of Kazuoka Castle, leaving Tiantong Yoshicho with a victorious expression and continuing to laugh and discuss something with the other countrymen. Only after Yan Ze drank all the wine in front of him, he also left the castle tower of Kazuoka Castle angrily.

Yan Ze Manzhong walked towards the place where he lived with all his thoughts, and on the way, a samurai dressed in the highest furniture suddenly stopped Yan Ze Manzhong, "Is Yan Ze Lord ahead?" ”

"Exactly, dare to ask Your Excellency?" Yan Ze Manzhong looked at the samurai who suddenly appeared in front of him with a vigilant face, if it weren't for the fact that the formation feather weaving on this samurai's body had the two leading two family patterns of the Mogami family, I'm afraid that Yan Ze Manzhong would have directly drawn his sword.

The samurai seemed to be blind to Yan Ze's full vigilance, and still said with a smile on his face, "In the Mogami Yoshiba, the lord of Nagasaki Castle, I have seen Lord Yan Ze!" ”
