Chapter 395: Unification of Yuri County (End)
Half an hour later, the battle of Pu and Nenga Hojo was over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Accompanied by Takahashi Koya, Tsugawa Soji Yuya traveled from Nishimeyama to Niga Hojo Castle, and judging from the battle reports from Takahashi Kokoku and others in front, the battle went very smoothly. However, when Soji Tsugawa saw that Yoshikei Komura was seriously injured, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Fortunately, he later learned from the ashigaru of the report that Komura Yoshikage was not worried about his life, and Tsugawa Soji was relieved.
As soon as they walked to the north gate of Higaho Castle, Takahashi Kokoku, Takizawa Masashi and others were already at the gate of the castle to greet Tsugawa Soji.
"Lord!" Takahashi Kokoku hurriedly stepped forward to hold Tsugawa Soji's war horse, and Yagyu Shuichiro on the side also hurriedly followed and helped Tsugawa Soji down.
Tsugawa Soji looked at Takahashi Xingguo and the others with satisfaction, and said, "You have worked hard, and you have contributed a lot to the successful capture of Niga Hojo this time." Later, I will have a banquet for you! ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Takahashi Xingguo and the others hurriedly replied.
Subsequently, Soharu Tsugawa and others entered the castle tower of Higa Hojo.
Soji Tsugawa walked to the throne and motioned for his retainers to sit down in turn.
After everyone was seated, Soji Tsugawa continued, "Takahashi Xingguo, tell me how the battle went. ”
"Hah!" Takahashi Kokoku nodded, and then replied loudly, "On the occasion of this battle, the Higa Ho family and the Serita family in Yuri County were completely defeated by the main family!" Higa Hojuharu died in battle, and Mitsumi Serita fled to the Serita Museum. A total of seven enemy warriors, 174 peasants, 422 prisoners, 14,700 stone of grain and 1,400 pieces of money were found in the city. ”
"In addition, Toshima Shigemasa and Shirane Masayoshi, the former Minato Yato clan retainers, were taken by Takizawa-sama and Yajima-sama, respectively, and the Higa-hoke generals, Akaishi Harumasa and Masaki Juntada, were courted by Yagyu-sama and Lost Island-sama. Anton Thongji disappeared in the chaos. Takahashi continued.
"Anton Tongji is really fateful." Soji Tsugawa said regretfully. Although he didn't care about a mere Andong Tongji, he still felt a little regretful about being killed by Andong Tongji several times.
"And what about the casualties of the family?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.
Takahashi Kokoku hurriedly replied, "The family lost a total of 14 ashigaru and 32 were seriously wounded, and no samurai were killed, only Komura-sama was slightly injured. ”
"Hmm." Tsugawa Soji nodded with satisfaction, Tsugawa Soji can still accept this result.
"Yajima Mitsuhisa, Takizawa Masashi, and Epsom take care." Soji Tsugawa then spoke to the three people sitting below.
"In!" Yajima Mitsuhisa and the others hurriedly replied.
Soji Tsugawa said with a smile, "Although Mitsumi Serita escaped, I can't just let him go. Next, the three of you are responsible for launching a strategy against the Serita family, and after defeating the Serita family, the territory of the Serita family will be divided between the three of you. ”
"Hah!" Yajima Manhisa and the others hurriedly said excitedly.
The territory of the Serita family with more than 1,000 stones and less than 2,000 stones, Tsugawa Soji did not take it seriously. Say, these people are so cooperative with the actions of the Tsugawa family, do they still have to give some benefits? Otherwise, who would be desperate for the Tsugawa family?
And for this arrangement of Tsugawa Soji, Yajima Mitsuhisa and others are still very satisfied. Although the territory of the Serita family is divided equally among the three wealthy families, and each family is only a few hundred stones, this at least proves that Tsugawa Soji treats them sincerely. Unlike the previous Onodera family, the Andong family, and the Dabaoji family, they only knew how to oppress them.
Thinking of this, Yajima Mitsuhisa and others couldn't help but feel that it was really a very good thing to play for the Tsugawa family. After all, among the previous Yuri Twelve Parties, the strongest were none other than the Akao Tsu family and the Niga Ho family, and now the Akao Tsu family has surrendered to the Tsugawa family, and the Higa Ho family has also been wiped out. Others, such as the Shimomura family, the Tatsu family, the Iwaya family, etc., were all destroyed by the Tsugawa family.
Today's Yuri Party, there are only four wealthy families left: Yajima, Takizawa, Akao Tsu, and Epsom, and the others have been destroyed by the Tsugawa family or indirectly died in the hands of the Tsugawa family.
At this time, Takahashi Xingguo continued, "My lord, what should the family do next?" Is it to withdraw troops and return to the territory? ”
Hearing Takahashi Kokoku's words, Tsugawa Soji thought for a moment, then shook his head, turned his head and said to Takahashi Koji who was standing behind him, "Koga, the food and materials that Mogami promised to deliver to my family have arrived?" ”
Takahashi Xingjia hurriedly replied, "It's all been transported to the family's territory." Ogasawara-sama has already counted the inventory, and I reported it to the lord last time. ”
"Looks like I forgot." Soji Tsugawa nodded, then turned his head to Takahashi Kokuni and said, "Don't withdraw the army for the time being." Takahashi Kokoku, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief, and lead the Yagyu Shuiichiro team to stay behind to defend the castle of Niga, and make a posture of attacking the Daihoji family or the Sasaki family. ”
"Since you have taken the best things, you naturally have to do something to avoid being criticized." Soji Tsugawa said slowly, "In addition, the ashigaru under the command of Yoshikei Komura is also temporarily deployed by you. Just hold back the forces of the Daihoji family and the Sasaki family and prevent them from participating in the big battle in Tendo City. ”
"Hah!" Takahashi Xingguo replied excitedly. This is the first time that Takahashi Xingguo has led troops to fight alone, so Takahashi Xingguo is extremely excited.
"Kenjiro Torima and Shinda Nobuyoshi, the two of you are now appointed as the forces of Takahashi Kokoku, and lead the ashigaru of Ueno Castle to assist Takahashi Kokoku in carrying out the operation." Soji Tsugawa then said to Kenjiro Torima and Shinshihiro Shinda, the garrisons of Ueno Castle on the side.
After Shinda Nobuhiro and the others moved to Ueno Castle with the Tsugawa family's base, they were also transferred to Ueno Castle by Tsugawa Soji to serve as the garrison of Ueno Castle, and they still commanded the garrison of Ueno Castle.
"Haha!" Shinshihiro Shinda and Kenjiro Torima hurriedly agreed.
"Xingjia, go and mobilize Qiben, and prepare to return to Ueno Castle."
"Yes! Lord! ”
...........
July 19, 13th year of astronomy.
After the Tsugawa family captured the Higa Hojo, the home of the Higa Ho family, the Hao clan coalition led by the Takizawa family and the Yashima family then captured the Serita Pavilion, the home of the Serita family, and the head of the Serita family, Mitsumi Serita, cut his stomach in the castle tower, and the territory of the Serita family was divided among the three wealthy clans.
On July 21, after the head of the Tsugawa family, Tsugawa Soji, returned to Ueno Castle, the head of the Tsukawa family, thousands of troops led by Takahashi Kokuni, the lord of Takahashi Castle, as the commander-in-chief, suddenly sent troops to attack the Shiokoshi family, a wealthy clan subordinate to the Daihoji family in Mankai-gun, and captured the Shiokoshi family's main stronghold, Yachishima Castle.
The head of the Shiokoshi family, Shiogamachi fled alone to Fukipu Castle, where the wealthy family of Satsukai County came to the second house, and asked for help from the Dabaoji family.
After learning the news, the head of the Dabao Temple family, Yoshizen of the Dabao Temple, hurriedly led the army north to prepare to recapture the eighty island city, but unexpectedly, he was ambushed by the head of the Sand Yue family on the way. The Dahoji family, who was caught off guard, was defeated on all fronts, losing hundreds of people, and the general of the temple army, Okuni Inabatamori, was also killed immediately.
For a time, the situation in the entire Tagawa County became confusing with the sudden dispatch of troops from the Satsu family.
