Yoshiyasu Yamada ran all the way, only hating his parents for not being able to have two more legs. After more than 1 hour of running, the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info finally came to the outside of Iwatani Castle.

"Open the door and let His Highness in," Yoshiyasu Yamada shouted breathlessly under the city gate.

One Ashigaru leaned down and saw: "It's really the lord, open the city gate quickly" "Squeak" The gate of Iwatani Castle was opened by two Ashigaru, and Yamada Yoshiyasu stumbled in.

"Why is your lord so embarrassed? What about the others? A castle defender said.

Yamada Yoshiyasu said angrily: "Close the city gate, the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family has rebelled, and the Tsukawa family's troops are about to fight."

"Ah," exclaimed a few ashigaru on the side of the gate.

"How many troops are there in the city?" Yoshiyasu Yamada asked. A few ashigaru apparently haven't recovered from the bombshell news brought by Yoshiyasu Yamada. After a long time, a ashigaru said: "My lord, all the troops of my family were taken out early this morning. There are only more than a dozen people left behind, so, so ....."

Yamada Yoshiyasu's face was like ashes, and he fell to the ground: "Heaven is dead, too" After speaking, he fell to the ground suddenly and fainted.

"Lord, lord" A few ashigari on the side suddenly became at a loss.

......

On the mountain road leading from Tsugawa Castle to Iwatani Castle, the people of Tsugawa Soji trotted forward all the way, thanks to the usual long-distance running training, in just a few miles, although there were many mountain roads, everyone was still able to move forward at full speed.

Half an hour later, Soji Tsugawa led his team over several hills before finally arriving outside Iwatani Castle. After resting in a forest outside the castle, Tsugawa Soji, Yoshikawa Hiroya and others immediately led their troops to kill Iwatani Castle.

At this time, after Iwatani Castle woke up in Yamada Yoshiyasu, he quickly organized all the young people who could be mobilized to gather on the castle tower.

However, Yamada Yoshiyasu, who was frightened, did not dare to personally lead troops to defend the city, but just randomly assigned an ashigaru and asked him to organize people to defend the city. The Yamada family, who was already demoralized, saw that he was not even the head of the family, and he had no intention of fighting. There was a lot of clamoring about whether to hold the city or abandon the weapons and surrender.

"Look, what are those," exclaimed an ashigaru on the wooden wall, pointing suddenly in the direction of the woods outside Iwatani Castle. The rest of the people looked in the direction that Ashigaru was pointing, and saw dozens of Ashigaru with a navy blue bellflower pattern on their backs with a white background and black edges, and under the leadership of several samurai led by them, they were rapidly approaching Iwatani Castle.

"Ahh It is the strength of the Tsugawa family. ", the other ashigaru suddenly shouted. And Yoshikawa Hiroya-sama, look, Kogoro is also in it," said another Ashigaru.

"Enemy attack, quick! Close the gates," shouted one of the ashigaru on the castle wall to the two ashigaru guarding the gate. The gatekeeper immediately prepared to close the city gate.

But the other Ashigaru suddenly spoke up and said, "What's the use of closing the gates? Hundreds of troops of the Lian family and the Ryohei family have been annihilated by the Tsugawa family. With just a few of us, can we still stop the Tsugawa family? "In other words, if the gate is closed, it means that we will live and die with the Yamada family. But what does the Yamada family usually do to us people? 8 Gong 2 peasants' agricultural taxes, our family is about to run out of food, how can we get by this day," said another ashigaru.

"So what do we do?" The ashigaru who was about to let people close the city gate said hurriedly.

"The Tsugawa family has six peasants and four peasants, and has never collected other miscellaneous taxes. Even Lord Yoshikawa Hiroshi has taken refuge in the Tsugawa family, so let's open the gates and surrender. ”

The rest of the ashigaru thought about it and agreed: "Yes, surrender" and Yamada Yoshiyasu, who was still expecting the ashigaru to hold the castle, would not have thought that the ashigaru he imagined that Ashigaru, who should have held the castle, was ready to surrender.

When Soji Tsugawa rushed to Iwatani Castle with his troops, he was about to give the order to siege the castle, but he found that the gate of Iwatani Castle suddenly opened. Just as he was wondering, more than a dozen ashigaru came out of it one after another.

"Master Samurai of the Tsugawa family, we don't want to be your enemy, but I beg you to let us go," said one Ashigaru, "Let's put down our weapons" After speaking, he took the lead in dropping his weapons, and the rest of Ashigaru also threw their bamboo spears on the ground. Soji was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Lord Yoshikawa, you lead the way, go straight to the castle tower, and grab Yamada Yoshiyasu first to avoid any extraneous branches." "Yes, my lord," Hiroya Yoshikawa turned around and waved his hand, "Follow me."

......

By the time he arrived at the castle tower, Yoshiyasu Yamada had already hanged himself. Looking at Yoshiyasu Yamada's death, everyone burst out laughing.

Yoshikage Komura said: "I didn't expect Yoshiyasu Yamada to be such a good person, and he actually chose the way to die a woman. "Yes, as a samurai, I don't even have the courage to cut my stomach, what a coward." There was a lot of talking.

Yoshikawa Hiroya looked at it expressionlessly, and just as Komura Yoshikage was about to go to Yamada Yoshiyasu's head, Yoshikawa Hiroya suddenly knelt on the ground: "My lord, although my subordinates have left the family, Yamada Yoshiyasu is the old lord after all." He is unkind, and I cannot be unjust. Please also ask the lord to keep the whole corpse" said, Yoshikawa Hiroya solemnly bowed to the ground.

Soji looked at the kneeling Yoshikawa Hiroya and nodded, he is a person with affection and righteousness. In the troubled times of the Warring States, there are not many such people anymore. "Okay, I promise you." Soji said, "Yijing, leave him all dead." "Hi" Yoshikage Komura put the knife back in its scabbard and stepped aside.

"Thank you" Yoshikawa Hiroya once again prostrated to the ground "The minister is determined to swear allegiance to the Tsugawa family" "Yoshikawa-sama, please get up" Soji said, "Yamada Yoshiyasu's body will be handed over to the adults to dispose of, I will go to the warehouse now to see the harvest, you can take care of yourself"

"Hi"

......

"My lord, the inventory in Iwatani City has been counted." Yoshikage Komura said. Soji nodded and motioned for him to continue. "After the inventory of his subordinates, there were more than 700 koku of miscellaneous grains and 400 koku of rice in Iwatani Castle. Money 370 and 426 wen. There are not too many weapons, only more than a dozen. "Well, it's been a hard work," Soji said with satisfaction, "By the way, what about the Yamada family?" "My lord, all the men have been put to death, and the women have been taken into custody. In addition, Yoshinobu Yamada's wife committed suicide," Yoshikage Komura said, "In addition, Yoshiyasu Yamada's main wife, the lord, the princess of the Ryohei family, how do we deal with it?" ”

Soji thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay with the ladies who were imprisoned in Kakuroyama Castle last time, and as for the other inconsequential maids, let's stay." Kakuyama Castle and Tsugawa Castle both sent a few to clean the castle tower on a regular basis. "Hi," Yoshikai Komura said. In addition, we will inform the Saigo-Ki-sama of Kakuroyama Castle and the Kuroda Iekan-sama of Tsugawa Castle that they will hold an evaluation meeting tomorrow in Iwatani Castle, so be sure to be on time "Hi"

After Yoshikei Komura left, Soji wandered around for a while and returned to the castle tower of Iwatani Castle.

After fighting all night, Zongzhi, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, was ready to rest for a while, but he couldn't hold it anymore. At this time, there was a "bang", the wooden door of the bedroom was opened, and a petite girl came into the eyes of Soji.

"You are?" A confused Soji asked. The girl looked shy and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, just now the village master said that I should serve.... Serve His Highness" After speaking, the girl's face turned even redder, as if she could drip water.

Zongzhi thought speechlessly: "Made, I must have just let these maids stay, so that Komura Yoshijing will be mistaken, think I have any thoughts about these maids, the world can be learned, pure I just think that there can be a few maids to clean the room, but I am also a head of the house, and a few maids are also a little forced" (Author: "Die long, the ghost only believes")

"What's your name?" Soji asked. "Back to Your Highness, the slave's name is Xiaolan," the girl said nervously.

"Xiaolan, huh? Your Highness doesn't need you to serve for the time being, you go down first, Your Highness is sleepy, you have to rest," Soji said. When the girl heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed to Zongzhi and gently withdrew. Looking at the girl's graceful figure, Zongzhi, as a senior old virgin, is shamefully hard.......

"It seems that it's time to think about your own marriage" Zongzhi thought, "Forget it, don't worry about it for now, with Ben Han's current status, what kind of girl is not ready to be caught" (Author: Can you think about it more?) A little wealthy family, an ant-like character, what kind of daydreaming? ）

It was a battle, and the Tsugawa family won a complete victory. Not only did he succeed in repelling the combined forces of the Yamada family and the Ryohei family, but he also took advantage of the situation to capture the Yamada family's Iwatani Castle. In an instant, the territory doubled, accomplishing the goal that the Tsugawa family had dreamed of for decades. The Yamada family, which had stood in the Kakujian River basin for decades, withdrew from the stage of history......
