"My lord, now there is turmoil in the family territory. The four households headed by the nine Nobunaka and the one family have already occupied the three households. Although he immediately sent troops after learning the news, he arrived here yesterday because the Shichinohe Castle where he was located was too far away from Sanhe Castle, and he had to prepare troops to guard against the Nangang family of Tsugaru. ”

"If it weren't for the timely arrival of the lord and the Changyi Palace, I'm afraid that I would still be blocked out by the eight households of Xinyi." Shichinohe said helplessly.

Nanbu Haruma nodded, "You did a good job this time, and after the family quells this rebellion, all the territories of the eight families will be yours." ”

"Huh?" Shichinohe Nobunao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Nanfang Qingzheng in ecstasy, "Thank you lord, I am determined to die for the lord!" ”

Looking at the excited and excited Shichinohe Shinnao, Nan Changyi on the side shook his head gently, "I'm still too young." ”

Nanbu Qingzheng continued quietly, "Xinzhi, what is the situation in other places within the family's territory now? ”

"My lord, in addition to Sanhe Castle, the Tsugawa family in the north of Antler County has been captured, and Lord Mao Manei, Lord Naganiu, etc., have all been killed in battle, and Antler County has been owned by the Tsugawa family." Shichinohe Nobunao said with a sad face, "In addition, the Stone Turtle Hall has been closed since returning to Stone Turtle City, and it has also turned a deaf ear to the rebellion of the Kunohe Nobunaka and others. Kenyoshi Castle has been captured by the retainers of the Seven Families, Nitta Administration Father and Son, and the people of the North (Kita Zhiai) are still in Ezo and have not returned. Today, most of the territory of Kabube County has been occupied by Nobunaka Kunohe and others. ”

"If you lose Antlers, you will lose it, but it is the territory of Wanshi. As long as the chaff county is not lost, the family will be able to make a comeback sooner or later. Nanfang Qingzheng said calmly, but in fact, his heart ached. Antler County is a territory that Southern Harumasa took a lot of effort to get, and it just returned to the Tsugawa family, plus Iwate County and Purple Wave County and other places, Southern Harimasa is about to cry.

"Okuji Dingjiu, you immediately take your family's handwritten letter to Jianji City. I've seen the administrative father and son of Xintian, and there should be no two hearts for the family, and I'm afraid it's really helpless to follow the eight households of Xinyi this time. You and the two of you explain the relationship in detail, and the two of them should abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Nanbu Harumasa then said to Nanbu Harumasa.

"Hah!" Okuji replied loudly.

Then, Nanbu Harumasa continued, "Uncle, immediately send orders in my name to the lords and generations of the various cities in the territory of the family, and immediately lead the troops to come to Reshallow Water City, this time I must let the Kuhe Nobunaka and others know who is the real master of the family!" ”

"Hah!"

.......

Jianji City is the residence of the North Family.

Because Kita Nobuya followed the southern Harumasa to send troops to the land, and Kita Zhiai went to Ezo as an envoy to carry out diplomatic goodwill with the Shimokuni clan and the Oysaki clan, so when the Nitta administration under the command of Hachihe Nobuyoshi and the father and son of Nitta Masamori attacked Kenyoshi Castle, Kenyoshi Castle was captured without the slightest resistance.

At this time, in the castle tower of Kenyoshi Castle, the Nitta Administration, Nitta Masamori and his son were in trouble with a letter placed in front of them.

"Taro, are you credible about what you said about Okuji Johisa?" Nitta Administration slowly raised his head and said to Nitta Masamori beside him.

Nitta Masamori thought for a while, then pointed to the seal on the letter and said, "This side of the seal, that is carried by the main hall, it seems that what Okuji Dingjiu said should be true." ”

"But the news from Lu Zhong's side, many people have seen with their own eyes that the head of the main hall was hung above the gate by the Tsugawa family." Nitta Administration hesitated and said, "Right now, the nine households have already occupied the three towns, which can be described as the general trend. If Okuji Dingjiu lied to us, it wouldn't be good for the family at all. ”

"Father, Okuji Dingjiu's words may lie to us. But the situation in Repulse City can't fool anyone. If it weren't for the main hall in person, according to the character of the lord (Hachihe Nobuyoshi), how could he be easily seized by Nan Changyi and Okuji Dingjiu? Nitta Masamori continued, "Didn't my father always want to revive the family's name? Isn't this the perfect opportunity? ”

"Once we follow the main hall to quell the rebellion of the nine nobunakas, after that is done, the main hall will definitely be impressed by the family, and then the family will become the direct minister of the main hall, and the main hall will also reward the family." Nitta Masamori said slowly.

After listening to Nitta Masamori's words, Nitta administration fell into deep thought.

The Nitta family was also an independent countryman back then, but it was later destroyed by the Hachito family and became a retainer of the Hachinohe. Nitta Masamori's words are still very attractive to Nitta administration, after all, who doesn't have a "dream?" ”

"But if we take action, the middle pavilion in the city is the henchman of the lord, how can we sit idly by and ignore our family?" Nitta administration continued.

Nitta Masamori said with a smile, "This matter is not difficult, as long as my father calls Nakakan Masashi and kills him on the spot." Most of the troops in Jianji City are the ashigaru of their own family, and as soon as the Nakakan Masashi dies, the other Nakakan family troops can't make much of a storm. ”

"Father, make a decision as soon as possible!" Nitta Masamori continued.

Xintian administration thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said with determination, "Fight, success or failure in one fell swoop!" Taro, you immediately invite Nakakan Masanao to come, and say that I have something important to discuss. ”

"Understood!"

.........

July 13, 14th year of astronomy.

Kenyoshi Castle's Nitta administrative father and son suddenly changed banners and surrendered to Harimasa in the south of Reawater Castle. For the refuge of the Xintian administrative father and son, Nanfang Qingzheng naturally welcomed it very much, and immediately rewarded Xintian administrative sword, and made Xintian Zhengsheng his own banner.

Immediately afterwards, Naotsuna, the Four Heavenly Kings of the South, also received an order from the Southern Harumasa in the Haruhan Pavilion of the Jucheng City. After learning the news that Nanbu Harumasa was not dead, Naotsuna immediately led a cavalry team of more than 200 people from the Nanbu family towards Reshui City.

When the Tsugawa family attacked at night, Naotsuna also led a horse team to support the temple, but when Naotsuna arrived at the temple, the temple was on fire, and the Tsukawa family was surrounded by troops. And at that time, the people of the Tsugawa family shouted loudly that Minami Harumasa was dead, and then Naotsuna Hatsuna met Kitanobu Ai, who had withdrawn from the temple, and the two decided to return to Mutsu first after some discussion.

When Naotsuna Hakuba and Kitanobu Ai arrived at Reshui Castle with a cavalry team, Kiyocho Kiyoshi also arrived with the forces of the Kushiki family. Ctenopus Qingchang stayed behind to guard the pig to go to the palace, and then the pig went to the palace and was captured, and the Qing Chang led the troops to retreat to a well city. And the strength of the Cruchio family is also the least lost force among the troops of the southern family in the land this time.

Having controlled the forces of the Hachinohe family, plus the forces brought by the Nitta family, the Kushiki family, and the Naotsuna of Kashiwai, the command of Harumasa in the southern part of Reasuizu Castle has gathered more than 1,700 troops.

"It's time to take everything back, Shinnaka Kunohe, your death is not far off." Standing in the attic of the castle tower, Nanbu Harumasa said through gritted teeth as he looked in the direction of Minohe Castle. [.]
