7. The general's "military situation".

"Okay, right? I think it's beautiful enough! I pushed the breastplate and said to Xianzhi.

"This is a battle! How can there be the slightest sloppiness? Ying said while holding a Nanban ghost helmet.

Today is August 10, 1565, the 37,000 armies of Oda, Asai, and Tokugawa gathered under the banner of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the 15th great shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate, and began a crusade against the "Miyoshi Sanju" who committed rebellion. It should be explained here that it may be for the sake of "the name of the world", Ashikaga Yoshiaki officially assumed the position of the general of the Seiyi (in fact, Japan itself is Yi) ten days ago, with the support of Oda Nobunaga and other daimyos, and changed his name to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, which may be the meaning of Akira Tenri. Although it has not been confirmed by the Imperial Court, it does not matter at all, it seems that the Imperial Court has not rejected the ruler of Kyoto for hundreds of years! Satisfied, he officially issued the "Three Good Crusade Order" to the world. In this case, the three of them are naturally unwilling to sit still! The general Ashikaga Yoshiei, who Miyoshi had supported seven days earlier, also issued a crusade against Oda and others, but it was just ...... Their situation is a bit awkward.

Since the death of Miyoshi Chokei, the three of them have established Miyoshi Yoshiji as the heir to monopolize power, which has gradually contradicted the original conspirator and the de facto shogunate ruler Matsunaga Hide. At the same time, because the main focus of the Miyoshi family has been on for several years, their rule in the "old nest" Shikoku has been loosened to a certain extent. The unification of Tosa's Nagamune Ibu Genjin began to stretch out his hand to Awa, and the Miyoshi Sanren had to send a large army to suppress it, although there were some small victories, but Chomune's Motobu was not an idle person after all, and Miyoshi's tens of thousands of horses were stuck in Shikoku in this way. Even so, this trip is not without problems, after all, Minami Omi is the territory of the Rokkaku family for several generations, and there are tens of thousands of troops and the help of many Koga and Iga people, so it should be done with caution.

"Ying is right!" Xianzhi carefully examined my top and bottom again. "Knives and guns have no eyes, you have to be careful with yourself!"

"Today, I just swore that I would not fight, no matter how neatly I dressed, I didn't have to take off my camp at night!" I gently held Xianzhi's shoulder and whispered, "Besides, this is not the first time, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

"You're the one who makes people feel uneasy!" The warbler covered her mouth and snickered. "Adults' martial arts are really ......"

"Little girl! You dare to make fun of me. I took Ying into my arms, kissed her on her sparkling lips, and then gently pinched the bridge of her nose. The warbler just turned sixteen last month, and under the moisture of my rain and dew for a year, it is gradually showing a mature charm, but it has not completely shed the freshness of a girl, and it is the right time to pick! And the nineteen-year-old Xianzhi is already a plump young woman at the moment, and giving birth to the fairy carp pill does not affect her beauty in the slightest, but instead makes her skin covered with a rose-colored jewel-like luster! If it weren't for the last resort, I don't think anywhere would be as good as home!

"My lord! Everyone is ready. At this time, Shima Katsutoshi called out outside the door.

"Alright, I got it!" I answered the door, and although I was very reluctant, I let go of the warbler in my arms. "I'm leaving, watch out at home! Ying, you have to take good care of Xianzhi and Xianli Maru! I looked at her and nodded.

"Ah Zhong......" Xianzhi said softly, "You have to be careful in everything!" ”

"My lord, take care all the way!" When she said this, her face was red, and her eyes were red.

"Good!" I took the Nanban ghost helmet handed over by Ying, put it on my head, opened the door and walked out. Turning around, he waved his hand to Xianzhi and Ying, who were standing by the door, and then walked to the outer courtyard with Dao Shengmeng. My generals, except for Murai Sadakatsu, run the territory in Koikan; Yamanaka Kanosuke and Keer Caizo led the 200 cavalry outside the city; Ban Naganobu and Ishikawa Tadatsuna had already infiltrated the combat area, and the others were already waiting outside the door neatly and quietly. "Let's go!" With the help of one of my attendants, I turned over and mounted my horse, and with a wave of my hand, led the group out the door.

My outfit was inconspicuous in our group, and the armor of the Nanban that was common nowadays was not flashy but absolutely practical, and even the dark purple array of feathers on my body was only embroidered with a few family crests. It's not that I can't afford it, it's that it's not a good thing to be too conspicuous on the battlefield! The others are not like me at all, the thin body of the Takenaka half-guard is wearing the family heirloom three carcasses of the gold silk, Shima Katsu is even more excited with a white horse and silver armor, and Nagano father and son are bright and solemn in armor, and they are veterans who have been in battle for a long time at first glance! I don't know if it's the style of their Maeda family, Maeda Keiji is also wearing a fiery red armor, holding a vermilion spear and a waist to say goodbye to the "Great Ceremony", but for some reason, he also wore a brocade robe obliquely and a high black hat on his head, which made people look very funny! Probably for professional reasons, Kusunoki Mitsunari only wore a light soft armor.

When he passed through the gate of the city, the mountain Kanosuke urged the horse to meet him, and the antlers of the sun and moon helmet and the three days and moon sect made him look worthy of the name of the general. "My lord, His Highness Nobunaga's mother's team hasn't come out yet, and the other adults have basically gone to the camp!" He walked over and said.

"Where's the general's queue?" I asked.

"Not yet!" Yamanaka Kanosuke shook his head. "But Hosokawa Fujitaka-sama has already gone, and the general may have to wait until the end!"

"Then let's go too!" After saying that, I should go first, and Shikanosuke, Caizo, and the cavalry team joined the queue behind me.

When I came to the gate of the large camp in the west of the city, I put my soldiers and horses in the outer camp, and only brought three or five retainers to the front of the Chinese army's tent. The Oda family was very strict in governing the army, and the 30,000 horses and horses in the outer camp were silent, but the generals who came early in front of the Chinese army tent were buzzing and talking, like a huge honeycomb. Walking through the crowd, all I saw was irrepressible excitement. "They're really enthusiastic!" I thought to myself.

"Brother Zhongbingwei!" A voice remembered not far away, and when I looked up, it was Toshiya Maeda. He was also flanked by the Yushiba brothers and Ikeda Tsuneko.

"You're here so early!" I walked over to them as I spoke.

"Can't compare to you? You don't need to pay attention to it, you have everything! Ikeda Hengxing said with a smile on his face.

"You kid, look for death!" I grabbed him by the collar.

"The lord raises the tent, and the generals enter!" While laughing, the officer on duty shouted loudly in front of the big tent, and we also stood in the tent with the flow of people.

"I set out on this day, and agreed to meet the Tokugawa army at the mouth of the well in a day; Five days later, we will meet with the Asai army at Kumato! Oda Nobunaga sat on it and said majestically. Striker will, Shibata Katsuya! ”

"Yes, thank you!" Shibata Katsuya came out and replied.

The order of "Second Striker, Sakuma ......" was passed down one by one, and one after another the generals came out to receive orders. This time, my mission was good, and more than 200 of my men were incorporated into the Chinese army commander's camp. After assigning the task, Oda Nobunaga said slowly: "This expedition of the army is quite dangerous! The general Jin Zhiyuye was afraid of losing something, so he didn't walk with the army. When settles down, I will send someone to protect the shogun to Kyoto! ”

"I see!" I said it in my heart. In this way, the nominal commander of the First Army became Nobunaga's follower.
