Chapter Ninety-One: Meetings

Zhengheng has no interest in Hideki Ueki, for this guy who has always made him uneasy, it is time to go to hell, when Zhengheng has not grown into a prince, he had a conflict with Hideki Ueki, it is this conflict that makes Zhengheng attract the attention of the Chinese, it can be said that the contact Zhengheng is the absolute victor, Hideki Ueki's initial battle completely failed, and he also lost his father-in-law and biggest supporter, making Hideki Ueki's status in the family plummet.

Since that joint war, in the eyes of Zhengheng, or in the eyes of the Chinese, Hideshi Ueki did not even have the resources of the Chinese. Perhaps it was because of his incompetence that he kept the family names of Sai Tian Castle and the Ueki family, and did not disappear from the front of people long ago like his relatives Zhuang and Suiida, and either went into exile or went into hiding. Now, Ueki Hideshi has also come to the end of his life, and he is to blame, if you jump out of the situation where the defeat of Date's house has been decided, no one will say that you are stupid, I am afraid that these people will still rush to jump out, but if the outcome is undecided, it is not an ordinary stupidity, you can only say stupid in your heart.

Zhengheng knocked on the table, looked at Katayama Hengchang, and said: "Shiro Bingwei, you go and send off Ueki Hideshi, let him finish the last journey of his life like a samurai, and don't have any extraneous things happening again." ”

Katayama Hengcho answered, and was about to get up and leave. Kusama Shibei hurriedly came to the door of the conference room, and on weekdays, Kusama Shibei always looked calm and relaxed, a little as hurried as now. One could even say panic.

Zhengheng had some doubts. I opened the relay. Seeing the contents of the report, his face suddenly became gloomy, his cheeks twitched, he felt a hot pain, and roared in a low voice: "The hateful Yoshimi Masari, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin." ”

There was only one thing mentioned in the newspaper, it was the Jinguang Sect's high envoy Tsuno Yoshimi who was attacked by Yoshimi Masanori. Killed. This matter is tantamount to a slap on Zhengheng's face, the invincible image that the Date family has always created, and the wild is shattered by this slap, which is unbearable,

It was also clear that he had to respond quickly and decisively to Yoshimi's provocative behavior, even without hesitation. Otherwise, not to mention how the two major inner families, the Nizi family, and the Miyoshi Changqing, who has been eyeing each other, think of him, the newly promoted male head of Shanyin and Shanyang, I am afraid that the domestic people and heroes will underestimate the political balance. It was very detrimental to the dominance of the Date family.

In this world, no one can afford to be killed by one of his retainers when he goes to another country. The regime that does not retaliate yet. At this moment, the political balance has made up his mind to make Yoshimi Masalai pay the price of blood, and let those young people know the consequences of provoking the Date family.

Masahiro handed the report in his hand to Tsuda Sukugoro and asked him to read it on the spot, while thinking in his heart about how to deal with Yoshimi Masayori's provocation, don't forget jì, it's already October, and in a month or two, winter is coming.

It can be said that it is rare for people to go to war in such a season in the winter of Wa Province, especially how difficult it is for the attacker to break out in a mountain area such as Iwami Province. But Zhengheng understands that if he doesn't attack quickly and decisively, this winter will be very sad for the Date family.

In other words, before winter comes, the Date family must send troops to Iwami Country, but fortunately, Masuda Fujikan has already taken effect, so there is no need to worry about the damage to the Date family in winter. It's just that in this matter, obviously there is no need for Zhengheng to personally send troops, and it has become a matter for Zhengheng to consider who is the master.

Masakira asked Tsuda Sukegoro to recite the urgent recital on the spot, which showed the firmness of his attitude, and also set the basic tone for Yoshimi Masayori for the subsequent meeting, and his retainers immediately began to buzz with him. In the generally young Date family, there is no such thing as a master and faction, and they are all a group of enthusiastic main battle factions.

Miyazawa Heihachi, who had just become the elder of the family, immediately jumped out to express his position, and shouted: "Lord, Yoshimi is relying on the villain's behavior, acting arrogantly, and the minister is indignant, and he is willing to be the vanguard, and take the head of Yoshimi Masarai for the lord, so as to set an example!" ”

Suddenly, countless people beat their chests and feet.

There is no doubt that everyone knows that compared to the Date family, which owns the land of the Five Kingdoms, Yoshimi Masari is like a child who is extremely weak, and the maximum number of troops that can be mobilized is only three or four thousand, and this is the result of the mobilization of everyone from children to the elderly. Don't forget it, there are still tens of thousands of troops in Anyi who have not returned to China, and they are still suppressing lawlessness in Anyi, as long as half of the troops are divided, plus the forces of Masuda Fujikan and other forces in Iwami's country, it is enough to crush Yoshimi Masayori without pressure.

Now, Yoshimi Masariri attacked and killed the messenger sent by the Date family, which provided the Date family with a righteous name for sending troops, and gave the Date family a justifiable reason to send troops, and Yoshimi Masariri is now embattled, and Yoshitaka Ouchi has no way to directly aid Yoshimi Masarari, so he can only resist alone.

Ouchi Yoshicho is even more happy to see Yoshimi Masarari and the Date family fighting, although Ouchi Yoshicho does not want to see Yoshimi Masarari being defeated, defeating Yoshimi Masarari, the Date family will form a pincer attack on Ouchi Yoshinaga, but in today's unfavorable situation, he can only drink to quench his thirst, and look forward to Yoshimi Masarari being able to hold on for a while, and wait until the two major ones are divided into winners and losers.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to defeat as long as the battle is fought steadily, not to mention that in the samurai regime, especially in the young Date family, seniority is the most stupid thing, and only military merit is the way out for a samurai.

Miyazawa Heihachi has achieved outstanding feats in the just-concluded Battle of Aki, established his qualifications as an old man in one fell swoop, and became the lord of a county, how not to make other colleagues envious and jealous, and now he is still not restrained and jumps out to take away the position of the pioneer that can make the most profits.

Miyazawa Heihachi was able to rise so quickly, mainly relying on military merit. He is the general that Zhengheng relies on in Anyi, and every time he rushes to the front, he is also one of the best in terms of credit. A general, if he takes the lead in a big battle, can directly jump from a junior samurai to a senior samurai. The speed of his promotion is much faster than that of those who have been qualified.

Now, Miyazawa Heihachi has been promoted to the lord of a county, and if he wants to rise further and become the lord of a country, the military exploits required are not something that can be obtained in one or two major battles, it can be said that the more the merrier, and the Date family must also continue to expand.

Kawasaki Yorihiro, who has not had a chance to play for a long time, saw other colleagues emerge one after another, he was still hesitant in the position of a small general, his position as a general was only promoted by virtue of his early qualifications, and he was inevitably anxious and couldn't sleep at night, he knew that this was a good opportunity to show himself, and he didn't care about Miyazawa Heihachi's intimidating gaze, moved two steps, and said loudly: "Lord, Lord Miyazawa is famous, and he uses a knife to kill chickens, and the minister is willing to take the head of the lord to see the head!" ”

The famous Miyazawa Heihachi never thought that someone would jump out to fight with him, but he had done massacres and put the lord of Jingguan, and suddenly glared angrily, Kawasaki Yorihiro was also out of the way, without the slightest intention of retreating, bowing to the ground and waiting for the verdict of Zhengheng.

The others didn't jump out, but they all looked at Zhengheng and looked at it with blank eyes, don't forget that winter is coming, even if you sit in the vanguard position, transfer troops from An Yiguo, and then send troops, it will take at least half a month, and you have to thank God for fighting a battle before the winter snow.

Shoheng did not directly order who should be the vanguard, and said: "Miyazawa, Kawasaki, the two of you, and all of you, after the meeting, all write me a note on how to attack Yoshimi Masariri in winter, and I will choose one of them to be the main commander of the expedition." ”

As soon as Zhengheng's voice fell, all the retainers knew the potential meaning of Zhengheng, who could put forward a plan that was approved by Guangfa, who was the main general of this attack on Jinye.

Miyazawa Heihachi and Kawasaki Yorihiro were stunned, they didn't expect Zhengheng to answer like this, but they just thought silently in their hearts, glanced at each other, and both knelt on the ground and shouted: "Yes, lord!" The rest of the people also fell to the ground.

While the meeting was still going on, Hiroshi Katayama arrived at the prison in the city where Hideshi Ueki was being held with the orders of Masaki, and he was alone in the prison, and no one came to visit him, as if he had been forgotten by the world.

Akira Katayama walked on the bluestone slab with the order of Masahiro and made a clattering sound, and Hideshi Ueki woke up from his slumber, and he stood on tiptoe to try to see the people passing by through the small window more than five feet tall and half a foot square, and wanted to shout to see Masahiro and spare his life.

He didn't want to die.

Hideshi Ueki slapped his hand against the wall, trying to make the people passing by outside hear the lingering and listen to his pleas, apparently the person heard his plea, and the footsteps came towards him, but the jailer who was supposed to be there did not appear.

There was a clattering sound of the iron chain opening outside, and Hideshi Ueki wanted to rush out with an arrow step, but he stopped at the door and saw a young man with four attendants appear in front of him, this young man he had a little impression that he was the favorite of Masahiro, Katayama Heng.

Hideshi Ueki just wanted to speak. Hirocho Katayama was the first to speak: "Take Ueki Hideshi away!" As he spoke, the two attendants who were following Hirocho Katayama crossed him, each grabbed one of Hideki Ueki's hands and twisted them to follow him out of the cell.

Hideshi Ueki prayed, "Tap, tap!" Then he looked at Katayama pitifully and said, "Katayama-kun, did the lord ask you to pick me up?" ”

Katayama didn't speak, he came to a cleaned house, and the white silk cloth spread on the brand new straw mat came into view, which made people feel a dazzling heartache, seeing this, Ueki Hideshi originally had a trace of fantasy, and suddenly fell into complete darkness, and began to struggle with his life, he didn't want to die.

Katayama Hengcho pulled out the knife and struck it Ueki Hideshi's spine with the back of the knife, and Ueki Hideshi, who was struggling desperately, suddenly collapsed and ordered: "Drag it in and give him a decent death!" He turned around as he spoke. (To be continued......)
