Chapter 525: Forty-Nine Years of Sleep

In Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes, Yoshida Castle was an extremely important link.

The first year of the Yuan Turtle.

He handed over the main castle to his eldest son, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, and moved the castle to Hamamatsu Castle in Tooe.

In this way, the Tokugawa family divided Okazaki Castle and Hamamatsu Castle as the supporting cities to rule Mikawa and Enoe.

And between Okazaki Castle and Hamamatsu Castle, Yoshida Castle is the passage between the three rivers and the Enoe.

After the fall of the Imagawa family, Tokugawa Ieyasu in order to confront Takeda Shingen,

That is, to try to manage Yoshida Castle, to the north of Yoshida Castle, Noda Castle and Nagashino Castle were deployed as a defensive tooth castle, and it was thought that it was outside the arch guard.

Tokugawa Ieyasu also sent his number one retainer, the head of the Higashi Mikawa banner, and the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, Sakai Tadaji as the defender of the castle.

Equipped with the Toda clan, Makino clan, Saigo clan and other wealthy families of the four counties of East Mikawa, listen to Sakai Tadaji's dispatch.

Harada Castle was also built in the south of Yoshida Castle, and Honda Hirotaka served as the castle representative of his confidant.

Now Takeda Nobukatsu, the 30,000 main force of the Takeda Army of Baba Nobubo has surrounded Yoshida Castle.

In the sky above Yoshida Castle, the fire was rising and black smoke was swirling.

Yoshida Castle, which is now Higashimikawa Castle, is in ruins, and it feels like a ruined wall.

In front of the main gate of Ninomaru in Yoshida Castle, the Takeda Army piled up countless burning firewood, and burned the Goryeo Gate of Ninomaru to the point of crackling.

The fire soared into the sky, and the black smoke climbed straight into the clouds like a giant dragon.

Behind the Koryo Gate of Ninomaru, the defenders of Yoshida Castle, dozens of ashigaru, were scorched with smoke, and their clothes were rolled up by the heat.

These dozens of ashigaru desperately tried to extinguish the fire with sand and gravel and splashed water, but all these efforts were to no avail.

On the other side of the second-hand gate, behind Ishigaki's curved wheel, the soldiers of the Tokugawa army took turns to bombard the Takeda army climbing below the castle with iron cannons and bows and arrows.

Underneath them were hundreds of Ishigaki Takeda soldiers who climbed Ishigaki with their bare hands, biting their ribs to their mouths, using their hands and feet together, desperately climbing, and the corpses fell from the top of the castle like sacks.

On the banks of the Toyokawa River where the Takeda Army's main camp was established.

The Suwa Damyojin Flag, the Wind Forest Volcano Flag, still stands here.

However, its main general is no longer Takeda Shingen, Takeda Katsuyori.

Wearing a white bear-fur Suwa helmet, Takeda Nobukatsu sat on top of the mazar under the close guard, watching the battle situation at Yoshida Castle with concern.

Under the prompting from the side, he had understood that no matter what happened, he should not move lightly away from Maza, so that the general would be uncertain.

The governor of the Takeda family, at any time, should be as written on the flag seal, as immovable as a mountain!

Takeda Nobukatsu had just been served, and this battle was also his outing, so he could not command the battle, so he could only watch from the wall.

The power of the Takeda Army's 30,000-strong army was in the hands of Takeda Nobuyoshi, who was wearing a snow-colored monk's robe.

As the younger brother of Takeda Shingen, the most talented general among the Takeda family, this is also the first time Takeda Shinshihiro has fought on the battlefield after the fourth Kawanakajima, and it is also the first time he has taken charge of the Takeda family's army.

When Shingen was alive, Takeda Shinhiro had always been known as Shingen's deputy general, and now he is in charge of the whole army, is it effective?

It has been fifteen days since the Takeda family's army besieged Yoshida Castle.

Takeda Nobuya's expression had been tense before, but at this moment, he was a little relaxed, and said lightly: "Ninomaru, I have taken it." ”

Takeda Nobukatsu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Uncle, thanks to your immediate command, our army has only captured Ninomaru, and since Ninomaru has been taken, the defenders are powerless. ”

As far as the cage castle in Japan is concerned, it is generally under the main pill, and the basic defenders have done nothing, and it is only a matter of time before the castle falls. …,

Takeda Nobuhiro said gently, "Your Excellency, don't take it lightly. ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Nobuyoshi pointed to the south, which was the direction of Harada Castle, and said: "The main force of the Tokugawa army led by Ieyasu Gong is stationed in Harada Castle, and it is unresolved, and it may be plagiarized at any time. ”

Takeda Nobuyhiro finished.

Oyamada Nobushige glanced at Takeda Nobukatsu, had a plan in his heart, and said: "In addition to blindly enduring and not moving, what else will Ieyasu do, in my opinion, there is no need to worry, the three rivers and the distant rivers will fall into my hands sooner or later." ”

Takeda Nobuhiro turned his head to look at Nobushige Koyamada, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Oyamada, this is a bad statement, my brother said when he was alive that Ieyasu Gong is not inferior to Nobunaga Gongxiong, but his tenacity and perseverance are regarded as cowardice and weakness by those who do not understand. If you underestimate this, you will surely be defeated. ”

Nobushige Oyamada listened to the dissatisfaction on his face, and was about to argue.

And this is a samurai galloping to the main camp on horseback, and said to Takeda Nobukatsu, Takeda Nobu said: "Report to the lord, Chaoyue Gong, three days ago, Yagata Gong led the main force of the Hida Echichu Army to fight a decisive battle with Uesugi Kenshin on the bank of the Kurobe River!" ”

Hearing the words of the envoy, not only Takeda Nobukatsu, Takeda Nobushiga, but also Koyamada Nobushige on the side, Ichichi Shinryu, Kawazu Nobushi and others all roared and stood up from the top of the maza.

Takeda Nobuhiro pointed his finger at the envoy and asked in a trembling voice, "How is the victory?" ”

He lowered his head and said, "This ...... This. ”

"Bastard, why are you so divided," a letter dragon immediately said, "This battle is not only related to our own family, but also determines the overall situation of the world, what else do you not know." ”

The envoy said: "The number of victories and defeats is difficult to judge. ”

"Is it another tie like Kawanakajima?" Takeda Nobuyhiro asked guessingly.

"It's not a tie. ”

It's not a win, it's not a loss, it's not a tie, what the hell is going on.

Seeing Takeda Nobukatsu, Takeda Nobufan looked concerned, so Fan hurriedly escaped from his arms with a letter and said: "This letter is jointly owned by Yagata Gong and Lord Baba, and the two of them have a joint name, and the letter explains the battle." ”

Takeda Shin quickly drew the letter to see.

All the generals looked at Takeda Nobuyhiro with concern, and his face seemed to be sad and happy, and he was uncertain.

After reading the letter, Takeda Nobuyhiro couldn't help but sigh.

In Yuezhong, in a temple of the Soto sect.

This small temple is very small, and the temple hall has only one large hall.

In this hall, Honjo Minoru, Gan Liang Jingzhi, Uesugi Jinghu, and Shirt Jingsheng are all wearing helmets and armor, sitting quietly with bated breath, and their eyes can't help but look at the long hanging gauze tent in front of them.

After a long time, the tent was opened, and an old monk with a medicine box stepped out of it.

Honjo Shino, Gan Liang Jingzhi, Uesugi Jinghu, and Shangshan Jingsheng all stood up, and couldn't help but glance at the back of the gauze tent, and at the same time greeted the old monk.

The old monk made a silent gesture and pointed his hand outward, signaling the crowd to talk outside the temple.

The four of them all understood, and followed the old monk to the outside of the main hall.

Fang walked outside the hall, and the four of them all asked in unison, "How is the lord (father)'s injury?" ”

The old monk joined together and said, "Amitabha, I have heard for a long time that the Yakatagong has always hated the Yixiang Sect, why do you trust me, an old monk, to heal the disease. ”

Gan Liangjing reprimanded: "Bastard, this is also a last resort, there is no good doctor in front of me, if the lord has any accidents, I want you to accompany the funeral." ”

Jingsheng stopped his hand and said, "How is my father's injury, please ask the master to show me." ”

The old monk said: "How the poor monk's life is, it depends on a few, but no matter what, the poor monk still told the truth, the projectile in the thigh of the house-shaped man has already been taken out, but it is just ......"...,

"Just how?" Gan Liangjing asked urgently.

The old monk sighed: "It's just that the wound can't stop flowing and suppurate, and the Yagata Gong has been feverish, which is really powerless for the poor monk." I heard that when the projectile was taken out, its color was still black, it should be lead, Amitabha, and the poor monk did not dare to guess. ”

Although there was an expectation, Gan Yu Jingzhi and the others all changed color.

Gan Liangjing changed his color and shouted: "Bastard, I want to fight with your lord." ”

Gan Liang Jingzhi pulled out the sword at his waist and held it high in the air, and the old monk trembled when he saw it, and immediately peeled the rosary with his hand and closed his eyes to die.

"Stop!"

Just as Gan Yu Jingzhi was about to swing his knife and fall, a deep voice came from the main hall.

When everyone saw this, they bowed down and said, "I have seen the lord (father)." ”

Uesugi Kenshin held a bamboo cane in his hand, and slowly walked out with the support of his surname.

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly on all sides, but Uesugi Kenshin's face was pale, and even his lips were dry and white.

Uesugi Kenshin breathed slightly, barely stood up straight, held on to Gan Yanjing, and said: "Life and death have their own destiny, if you can't heal a person, you will kill a person, and there are no doctors in the world." ”

Hearing this, Gan Liang Jingzhi hurriedly put away the knife and leaned over to apologize.

Uesugi Kenshin walked up to the old monk and said, "Under life and death, the master can speak upright, and he is really a good person. ”

"Grant gold." Uesugi Kenshin said closely.

Approaching the present, he presented ten gold judgments to the old monk.

The old monk saw the ten gold judgments, and immediately said urgently: "This ceremony is too heavy, too heavy, and the poor monk is not good at the shape of the house, and he deserves it." ”

Uesugi Kenshin said with a smile: "The master has walked between life and death, and he is so rich that he can be taken lightly. ”

The old monk listened to Uesugi Kenshin's words, seemed to have an understanding, and immediately took it directly, and said: "Yes, if you suffer great hardship, you will also inherit great wealth, whether it is great trouble or great wealth, you should take it lightly." ”

Uesugi Kenshin nodded, said no more, and turned away.

The old monk held the heavy gold in his hand, pondered for a while, and said to Uesugi Ken: "Yagata Gong, stay behind, the poor monk has a word, I hope it can help Your Excellency." ”

Uesugi Kenshin turned around and said, "Master, please speak." ”

The old monk said: "The house is in the shape of a man, the human body is mortal, it was originally lent to the sky, and now the heavens want to take it, what a pity." ”

Listening to the words of the old monk, Uesugi Kenshin stood in place in a daze, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Yes, what a pity, thank you for the words of Master Jinyu." ”

After sending the old monk away, Uesugi Kenshin returned to the main hall, only to feel a splitting headache and a shaky person.

However, Uesugi Kenshin supported himself and asked, "What is the current movement of the Hida Echichu Army?" ”

Honjo really sighed and said the words.

It turned out that on that day, after being shot by the iron cannon of the Sun and Moon Dragoons, Uesugi Kenshin was shot in the thigh, turned over and fell off his horse.

After that, Uesugi Kenshin endured his wounds, returned to battle, and led the Uesugi army to continue to break through.

Under the command of Uesugi Kenshin, the 20,000 Uesugi army forced a gap in the front of the Takeda army and completed the frontal breakthrough.

After that, the Uesugi Army and the Ueno Army, which broke through the right flank of the Takeda Army and defeated Kinoshita Hidenaga, Fujido Takatora, Kamishi Keikatsu, and Uesugi Keitora, completed the rendezvous and realized the frontal penetration of the Takeda Army.

Later, when Uesugi Kenshin attacked Li Xiao's main formation, he even captured the flag seal of the sun and moon.

The Hida Echichu Army was not without results, and less than half of the 20,000 Uesugi troops who broke through head-on broke out of the encirclement.

Shanpu Jingguo, Deserted Village Nagashi and many other members of the Uesugi family will be obtained. …,

But in this battle, Li Xiao was not easy, when he was chasing, the legions were damaged, and the water shooters of Kinoshita Hidecho and Fujido Takatora were also defeated, and the Shinkawa people who were almost wiped out before were added.

Therefore, in this battle, it is difficult to conclude the victory or defeat of Li Xiao and Uesugi Kenshin, so it is only the benevolent and the wise to see the wise, and the descendants will judge it.

Honjo Minoru reported to Kenshin Uesugi: "The Takeda army has been unable to fight anymore since the army rations were burned, and now Li Xiao led the army back to the front line of Toyama Castle to replenish grain and grass and troops. ”

Uesugi Kenshin reluctantly said: "This battle is enough here, pass the order, and the whole army will return to Echigo." ”

Honjo really snorted.

Just as Uesugi Kenshin was trying his best to support himself to stand up, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, his body was slowly sinking, and only the voice of Kazumi Jingsheng and others chanting was left around him.

Uesugi Kenshin only felt weak all over his body, and fainted at the moment.

I don't know how long I slept this time.

When Uesugi Kenshin woke up again, he found himself lying in an ox cart.

Kamishi Jingkatsu and Uesugi Jinghu's two sons are all accompanied by Uesugi Kenshin.

When the two sons saw Uesugi Kenshin wake up, they both cried loudly.

Uesugi Kenshin said with relief: "What are you crying about, there will be an end to martial arts." ”

"Help me out, and I'll examine the whole army."

The second son helped Uesugi Kenshin to get back on his horse, only to see that on the long mountain road, there were all the troops of the Uesugi army returning home, but on the left side was a vast sea.

This is close to not knowing the son.

Uesugi Kenshin reluctantly supported himself, sat on the war horse, and walked slowly.

The north wind is howling, the cars are sparkling, and the horses are quiet.

Uesugi Ken stroked the sword Shunqing Changguang in his hand, and sighed: "I hate to kill the enemy with this knife again." ”

Hearing Uesugi Kenshin say this, the two couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't help crying, but in front of the army, they could only wipe their tears with the corners of their clothes.

Seeing the second son like this, Uesugi Kenshin smiled slightly, looked at the sea at the head of Zhuma Mountain, and whispered: "A sleep in forty-nine years, a glass of wine in one period of glory; I don't know life and death, and the years are just like a dream. ”

Life is nothing more than that-
