----------------------------------------------------------------

Listening to the 'wild words' of this Hojo general, Li Xiao couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself who was so brainless to destroy such a stable and harmonious atmosphere at the moment.

Seeing that Takeda Nobuyoshi had a slight displeasure on his face, Hojo Yasu turned his head to look at the general, and then said in a deep voice: "Sun Jiulang, you are drunk. ”

The other party walked out of the crowd of Hojo family generals, and when they saw the other party's face clearly, several veterans who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time on the side of the generals of the Takeda family, such as Nobuaki Kibe and Kohata Kenshige, suddenly exhaled in surprise and said: "It's Dihuang Hachiman." ”

Li Xiao heard Nobubu Xinqiu shout this name, his body shook, and he looked at this person.

The other party was burly and tall, standing there with a majestic momentum, and there were several scars on his face, obviously having experienced life and death hardships on the battlefield. If Li Xiao didn't guess wrong, this person was Hojo Tsunari, the first fierce general of the Hojo family.

Hojo Tsunari's father, Fukushima Masari, was originally the first fierce general of the Imagawa family, when the Imagawa family and the Takeda family were at odds, and Fukushima Massunari led an army of 15,000 to defeat Takeda Shingen and Takeda Shintora. As a result, he was defeated by Takeda Shintora in what is known as the Battle of Kamijo Kawara, and died on the battlefield.

Later, Hojo Tsunade became the second generation of the Hojo family, and Hojo Tsunade adopted him, and Hojo Tsunade valued him very much and married his daughter to him. The Nari in Hojo Tsunari's name is the general character of his father Fukushima Masasari, and the character Tsunade is ordered from the Hojo clan, and from then on, as a member of the Hojo family, commanding the army.

Speaking of the combat power of the Hojo family, we have to mention the Hojo five-color preparation. Hojo Five-color Bei is a mixed army of five Hojo families with infantry and cavalry, and the whole legion is uniformly dressed in white, black, blue, red, and yellow armor, and is led by the powerful generals in the family. (In addition to the black reserve team, there is only one general, Duomu Yuanzhong, and the commander of the light pole)

One of the yellow generals is Hojo Tsunari, and it is said that Hojo Tsunari will go to Hachiman Bodhisattva on the fifteenth day of every month to pray for him, and he is very pious. Moreover, the flag of his troops, the armor is uniformly dyed with rotten leaf yellow, and when he hits the enemy's position, it is like a yellow wave, so people call him 'Dihuang Hachiman'.

Hachiman Great Bodhisattva is the god of martial arts, and the god of bows and arrows, many Genji samurai, the family tradition is a little longer, such as Kiyokawa Genji is dedicated to generations, including the Kumano Naval Army of the Nine Demons Yoshitaka, the bow of the ship hangs the white banner of the Hachiman Great Bodhisattva, so it is also called the Hachiman Water Army, and the flag of the formation of the first strong army of the Tokugawa family, the Red Reserve Cavalry Ii Naomasa, also has the Hachiman Great Bodhisattva.

In the decisive battle of Hojo's domination of the Kanto region, in the Battle of Kawagoe, in the face of the siege of 80,000 Kwantung coalition troops, Hojo Tsusunari trapped Kawase Castle with 3,000 men and horses for half a year, and later joined forces with 8,000 men and horses of the Hojo clan to break the Kanto coalition army, so the rehmannia Hachiman became famous in the first battle.

Hojo Tsunari's yellow preparation, because of its courage and good fighting, so every time the Hojo family key battles are the vanguard of the Yellow Hachiman banner, so the Kanto samurai respectfully called Hojo Tsunami Hachimanden.

At present, Hojo Tsusunari walked to the middle of the two venues of the Hojo family generals and the Takeda family generals, and said to the Hojo clan: "My lord, how can the banquet be extremely fun, the Takeda family is a famous samurai family, and it is the descendant of the Genji family, we Kanto samurai have long wanted to compete with them on the battlefield, but unfortunately the two families belong to the alliance and have never had a chance, in this case, it is better to take the banquet between the two sides to learn and repay the wishes of the past years." I am willing to be the first to go into battle, and ask the Lord to agree. ”

The smell of gunpowder in Hojo Tsunari's words can be heard by everyone, but the Hojo Takeda family knows that his father died in battle with the Takeda family, so it is normal to have some resentment towards the Takeda family.

Hojo Shiyasu nodded, looked at Takeda Nobuyo, and said: "Xin Xuangong, there is a difference between winning and losing in the competition, I am afraid that it will hurt the harmony at that time, but the wine banquet is not fun to play, it is really boring, what do you think?" ”

Takeda Nobulian nodded reservedly and said, "It's okay, everything is up to Your Excellency's arrangement." ”

The Hojo clan smiled and said: "Since this is the case, I will be in charge, Sun Jiulang, you will represent my Hojo family as the first formation, and you will meet the heroes of Kai for a while." ”

With the consent of the lord, Hojo Tsusunari ordered someone to take the wooden gun with the head of the gun, and then waved the head of the gun, pointed to the row of generals of the Takeda family who were sitting there, and asked loudly: "I don't know who is willing to compete with me?" ”

The generals of the Takeda family looked at each other, the other party was the first brave general of the Hojo family, and its bravery and might shocked the Kanto region, and the Takeda family did not have a fierce general who could match it at the moment. Originally, Takeda's family was also called a fierce general, but recently it has withered a lot.

For example, the "Ghost Tiger" is known as the "Ghost Tiger" and Kohata Tiger Sheng died of illness in Haijin Castle in June last year, and the fierce general Zhujiao Tiger Ding, who can rank among the top three in Takeda's martial arts in the Battle of Kawanakajima, was killed in the battle of "Oni Mino" Hara Huyin, who was wounded in 53 places in eight battles in the past Chinese New Year's Eve, and is still recuperating at home, and he has not even caught up with the Battle of Kawanakajima.

As for the four ministers of Takeda, they are very good at conquest and habitual warfare, but some of them are good at military strategy, and some are good at leading soldiers, not all of them are very outstanding in martial arts, and they are not in the Takeda Army's Nishiueno Expedition Army at the moment.

At this moment, facing the challenge of the first fierce general of the Hojo family, the Rehmannia Hachiman, the generals of the Takeda family thought about it, and there was only 'Gun Bullet Masatoshi' Hoshina Masatoshi here, who could barely fight with Rehmannia Hachiman in terms of fame and strength.

So the 52-year-old Masatoshi Hoshina appeared under the expectations of the generals, and then persevered for more than a dozen rounds before losing in frustration.

And Hojo Tsunari was obviously just warming up, and asked, "Who else wants to compete with me?" ”

In the face of Hojo Tsunari's battle, the rising star of the younger generation of the Takeda family, the eldest brother of Sanada Masayuki, Sanada Nobutsuna, resolutely stepped forward to fight.

Although Sanada Nobutsuna can be called the brave general of the younger generation of the Takeda family, he still can't resist the opponent, and after a few moves, he was punched by Hojo Tsunade in the right eye socket and retreated.

After defeating Sanada Nobutsuna, Hojo Tsusunari shook his head and said, "Is it possible that the Takeda family, a famous martial artist, has declined, and there is no one who can really fight with me?" ”

After Hojo Tsusunari finished speaking, no one from the Takeda family responded, and Hojo Tsusunari suddenly had a look of little interest.

"In that case, let me meet you for a while with Shiro Katsuyori Suwa." Suddenly, a voice among the generals of the Takeda family spoke loudly. The person who challenged was Takeda Katsuyori, and I saw him glance sideways, and he was sitting on the sidelines with an attitude that he didn't care about himself, and he was drinking there.

Then Takeda Katsuyori took the wooden gun and resolutely stepped forward to fight against Hojo Tsunari.

On the night when the combined army of the Takeda family and the Hojo family was stationed under Matsuyama Castle and preparing to attack the castle.

In the Echigo mountains, a hundred miles away from Sagami, it was also snowing heavily, and an army in black clothes and black armor was marching on a rugged mountain path.

The soldiers marched slowly in hats, smocks, and leggings. A military general in the team wore a white monk's robe, wrapped his head in a white silk cloth, and rode a white war horse leisurely through the mountains.

Surrounded by the marching army, the military commander also brought a wine glass resting on his horse from time to time, and while riding, he watched the snowy scenery in the Echigo mountains and drank wine.

The strong wind in the mountains suddenly hung up, and the flag pointed to the hunting of the word "Bi" blowing on the object.

Under the snowfall, the military general in white monk robes reined in his war horse, looked at the land at the foot of the mountain, which was already the boundary of Ueno Province, and couldn't help but raise his horsewhip and said to himself: "Who said that I will not send troops until the spring flowers bloom!" ”
