Chapter 612: The Iga Expedition

Tango country. 1――

The afternoon sun shines brightly on the sea surface of Miyazu Bay.

Due to the possession of the Tango Peninsula, Miyazu Bay is surrounded by an inland sea called the Aso Sea.

Speaking of this Aso Sea, the most famous is Amanohashidate, one of the three scenic spots in Japan.

Amanohashidate is a beautiful place in Japan that has been famous since the Heian period.

At that time, the singer of the song, the thirty-six song immortals in the women's room, and the waiter of the small style department made a song: "The mother's house is far away from the great rivers and mountains, and the wilderness is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to look up on the overpass, and the sad letter has never been transmitted." ”

The bridge looks like a sand bank from the sea, connecting from one end of the island to the other, but it is completely natural.

The bridge is covered with pine trees that are more than 100 years old, and the sea breeze makes a soft rustling sound.

Under the parasol held by the attendant, Li Xiao was wearing loose clothes and clogs on his feet, sitting on top of the mazaar, listening to the sound of the wind with his eyes closed.

On the beach not far away, Li Yun's happy laughter sounded haha.

The days after the retirement are really leisurely!

Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that on the beach, Yumi Kohata, Yusada Kohata, Usami Nami, and Ju Ji were accompanying Li Yun to pile sand on the beach.

It is really a scene of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and they are happy.

Soon, the side dressed in hunting clothes approached, strolling on the hillside in twos and threes, on guard.

It seems that there are not many people, but in reality, the guards are heavily guarded, and there are twenty masters of the Ministry of Bills, Sasaki Kojiro. and intense surveillance by ninjas.

And the newly sealed daimyo in Tango Kingdom, Yu Zuo Xuguang, is also like a sycophant, and transferred 500 ashigaru to come over to clear the field and guard.

In this way, to ensure that Li Xiao's travel is safe and worry-free.

That's the scale of Obama's tour.

Li Xiao looked at Li Yun with a cheerful look, a smile appeared on his face, and at this moment, he reported to Li Xiaoyu that the head of the head Shigang Yiyu was close to him, saying that the Ueno Kingdom was guarding. Sanada Nobuyuki, as well as his wife, Li Xiao's daughter Mingchuan, came to meet him.

When he heard that his daughter was coming, he couldn't help but smile, he hadn't seen Mingchuan for a long time.

Li Xiao's doting on this daughter is far better than his two sons.

However, after hearing that Sanada Shin had come to visit before, Li Xiao thought about the current situation. couldn't help frowning slightly.

Soon after, Sanada Nobuyuki and Akikawa came together.

Sanada Nobuyuki presented Li Xiao with a gift from Ueno Province at the moment, and he and Mingchuan sat on the Maza on the side.

And the Kohata sisters were also very happy when they heard that Ming Chuan was coming.

Yuzhen Kohata hugged the three-year-old Li Yun and came up directly.

After the whole family talked for a while, Mingchuan went to another place with his mother. Tell me about the feelings of farewell.

On the hillside, only Li Xiao and Sanada Nobuyuki Weng were left.

Li Xiao took a deep look, and after Yumi Kohata and Mingchuan's backs, he turned his head to look at Sanada Nobuyuki. He said, "Yes, Daisuke-sama Nakanomish, did you let you come?" ”

Sanada Nobuyuki was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Back to Yagata Gong, the son-in-law came this time." It was indeed on the orders of my father, and of course there were many important ministers of my own family and the great names of various countries. But in his heart, of course, the son-in-law also wants to see his father-in-law. ”

Li Xiao nodded and said with a smile; "Then for your sake, tell me the purpose of this coming."

Sanada Nobuyuki was a little embarrassed when Li Xiao said this. Although he is now inheriting his father's position and serving as the guardian of Ueno Country, this shogunate position is still apprehensive in front of Li Xiao.

Sanada Nobuyuki said the words that had been brewing for a long time: "It's about this time, the Iga expedition presided over by the Tsuki Gong. ”

Sure enough, this is the case. Li Xiao said secretly in his heart.

Sanada Nobuyuki said: "It's not impossible to pacify Iga, but this time the action is too much, and it is necessary to mobilize the troops of all countries, and it is estimated that 150,000 troops will be deployed to annihilate the Iga country." ”…,

"Besides, the Chaoyue Gong issued a killing order, Iga does not grow an inch of grass, no one remains, the world is decided, just do this, all the retainers feel that this move is too violent."

Sanada Nobuyuki said it succinctly.

Li Xiao is very sympathetic to Takeda Shinshi in his heart, the land of Iga Koga is a chaotic situation, just like the bandits who were entrenched in the mountains back then, and the usual encirclement and suppression did not work at all.

Relying on Koga, Iga's mountains, and in the face of ordinary encirclement and suppression, the ninjas can be cunning and counterattack.

However, Takeda Nobuyoshi has such a big layout this time, which is to carry out a dragnet search and truly realize the conquest and killing of Iga Koga.

Use thunder means to completely solve the cancer of Iga Koga for hundreds of years.

But the strategic means were right, and the need for so many troops from the major names to fight, coupled with a brutal massacre, made many people feel cold in their hearts.

Such violent behavior is rare.

Takeda Nobushige is reminiscent of Nobunaga's brutal killing methods for the Ichiza sect.

Sanada Nobuyuki's voice pulled Li Xiao back from his thoughts.

I only heard Sanada Nobuyuki say: "The retainers of the family, the daimyo of various countries, and even His Royal Highness the Guards have come forward to dissuade the Chaoyue Gong. This time, the prince seems to have made up his mind and will not change it, ordering that all the daimyo troops must arrive in by September and start the conquest of Iga, otherwise they will all be cut off their fiefs. ”

"So my lords, I think that at this moment, only one person from the House Hall will come forward today, so it is possible to dissuade Chao Yue Gong from doing this, so please ask me to come and meet the House Shape Gong."

Listening to Sanada Nobuyuki finish telling all his intentions, Li Xiao Takeda Nobuyo, it was really cruel to the end, and this kind of slaughter regardless of the goal made him feel cruel.

Takeda Nobuyoshi wanted to succeed in this expedition to Iga, and he could use this attack to strengthen his control over various countries.

Takeda Nobuyoshi also passed, this Iga expedition, a means to strengthen the appeal of the world's daimyo.

Even if Li Xiao wants to stop it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop Takeda Shinshi's decision, unless he is willing to come forward and turn his face with the Takeda family at this moment.

At that time, it will cause a civil war in the Takeda family, and the killing will be ten times greater than this expedition.

Li Xiao said slowly: "It's been almost a year since I retired, and I've handed over all the power to the guards generals, but it's just a matter of the world." ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Sanada Nobuyuki hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Yagata Gong, I hope to think of the common people!" ”

Sanada Nobuyuki knelt down, and when he landed, Yumi Kohata was introduced, and Akekawa and the others set their eyes here.

At this moment, there are not many people in the world who can make Li Xiao care about the other party's thoughts, and his wife and daughter are definitely the two most important among them.

At that moment, Li Xiao stepped forward to help Sanada Nobuyuki, and said angrily: "You also know that after I retired, I even shirked the official position given by the imperial court. The affairs of the family were also handed over to the Konoe general. However, I can write to Chaoyue Gong in the name of private to discourage this matter. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yakata." Sanada Nobuyuki said gratefully.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "But this letter is written in my personal name, and the position of my family is still decided by the future of Konoe." As for whether Chao Yuegong agrees or not, it depends on him personally. ”

Sanada Nobuyuki also looked happy when he heard this, Yumi Kohata and Akikawa also smiled.

Now for Li Xiao, the happiness of his wife and children is his happiness.

And now that the family is reunited, Li Xiao is also very happy.

Li Xiao immediately ordered someone to prepare a feast to welcome the arrival of his daughter and son-in-law, and summoned someone to hurry up and go to Tamba Turtle Mountain City to summon Li Yong together.

The feast is a feast, but in Li Xiao's heart, he has a premonition that this time the Iga expedition may come in the future with a terrifying turmoil. …,

The autumn of the eighth year of Tensho came as scheduled.

Despite the boiling opposition from the people of the world, Takeda Nobuyoshi's conquest of Koga Iga was still carried out in his own way.

In the autumn wind slaughter, in addition to the Li family, the Maori family carried out a war against the Changzong family, and was not dispatched.

Kanto daimyo such as Hojo, Date, Satake, Utsunomiya, Yuuki, Osaki, Spo, Soma, and even Mutsu, Ando near Hokkaido, and the southern family all sent troops from thousands of miles away.

And the daimyo of the Takeda family's feudal lords did not hesitate to immediately mobilize their troops and horses.

This time, the momentum of the battle was extremely large, and even the forty-nine families of Kita-Ise, those wealthy families who had originally stopped fighting with the Takeda family, were also looking for the wind.

One by one, they rushed to Kyoto and wept bitterly in front of Takeda Nobuyoshi, and they were able to be pardoned.

Takeda Nobufan showed tolerance, and for these wealthy family heads, he only marched to the cutting seal on the ground to show punishment, and most of them were given an andulum.

Of course, they are still not convinced by the forces of Wanghua, and there are two major forces in Kii, Nelaizhong and Zagazhong, but they are afraid of the momentum of the Takeda family's troops, and they also sent people to Kyoto to deal with the minister, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the imperial family, and they can say a good thing or two in front of Takeda Nobuyoshi.

As the parties concerned, Iga, the ninjas of Koga, and the leaders of various mono villages, knew that this time it was likely to be a catastrophe, and immediately sent people to show their obedience to Takeda Nobushi, but they were all harshly rejected by Takeda Nobushige.

For Iga, Koga forces, Takeda Nobuyhiro has only one word, go home and wash your neck and wait.

In the face of Takeda Nobushige's intention to kill, some of the ninjas in Iga Koga planned to flee over the mountains, but found that they were at various intersections leading to the outside world.

Takeda Nobuyoshi ordered Takeda Nobuyo, Oyamada Nobushige, a Nobu Ryu, and Mochizuki Nobunaga, each led the local situation, blocked all roads, and strictly anyone entered, and those who went out were all cut on the spot.

This time it really blocked the passage of Iga Kaga.

Eventually, the massive Iga Attack began, and the Takeda family tree, the Waiko, and the daimyo from various countries added a total of 160,000 troops.

And their goal is only the land of projectiles, but the country of Koga and Iga of 100,000 stones. (To be continued)
