Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Key to the South

"His Royal Highness's actions, Yi Jiu is very admired, he has been fighting abroad for a long time, and the soldiers are homesick. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info, and since I am a minister of Anton, I should repay him with death......"

Yi Yuanzhe held Yoshihisa Dasato's letter in his hand, sighed and whispered, "I still have to go!" ”

"Lord, lord!" Gangcheng Guangzhong suddenly ran in.

Yi Yuanzhe frowned and said, "What's the matter of shouting?" ”

"My lord, Lord Tengtang's formation has blocked the way of Dali Yoshihisa and the others. It seems that the main hall is going back to Antler County. ”

"What?" Yi Yuanzhe was taken aback, what is Teng Tang doing? "Prepare the horses!" ”

"Hah!" Guangzhong promised to run out immediately.

Outside the barracks not far from the main city of Sanhe, a group of nearly 600 people led by Igen Tengtang lined up to block the road with horses and wooden fences, and another group of about 500 people under the banner of Anton's family were in front of Tengtang's formation under the leadership of Dazato Yoshihisa, and there was some tension on both sides.

"Teng Tang, what do you mean by me just going back to Andong's house?" Yoshihisa Osato was a little annoyed.

Teng Tang looked at him with a cold face: "Does the lord agree with you to wait and leave?" ”

"Teng Tang, don't deceive people too much, I am Anton's minister, and I was ordered to help fight the Yiyuan family, and now I am playing back to my own family, how dare I do this?"

"Humph! I'm afraid it's not that simple! The Anton family had better not challenge the bottom line of the Yi Yuan family. Teng Tang snorted coldly.

"You! ……”

"Second brother, what is this doing, second brother?" I saw a team of more than 100 horsemen rushing into the middle of the two formations with the southern clan's crane pattern flag and separating them.

"Second brother, privately mobilize troops to encircle friendly troops, if the lord knows, he will definitely be dealt with by military law." Southern Teng Xin said to Teng Tang.

Teng Tang was unmoved, he knew that Anton was just a mediocre talent in recent times, and only Yoshihisa Dasato was of great use to his subordinates, and if he let them go this time, they would definitely go south with the whole army and affect the southern strategy set by him and Yi Yuanzhe. And he also knew that Antler County was also a place that had to be ruled, and he must not allow the Anton clan to continue to grow.

"Dali Palace, please be calm for a while, I believe that the lord will definitely come after knowing it." Nanfang Teng Xin said to Da Ji Yi, after all, the two of them are also quite friendly, and they have been born since Antler County.

"Thank you for the Southern Temple." Dali Yoshihisa also suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked his subordinates to calm down and wait and see what happened.

"Drive! ....." Yi Yuanzhe rode his horse and galloped here, and Yi Yuan's army immediately separated and knelt on one knee on both sides. "Lord!" Teng Tang immediately stepped forward to pay respects.

"Well, how so?" Yi Yuanzhe said solemnly to Teng Tang with a gloomy face: "Withdraw from the formation!" ”

"Lord ........" Teng Tang wanted to say something, but was blocked by Yi Yuanzhe's eyes, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Withdraw from the formation!" "Huh!" As soon as the army received the order, they removed the horses and wooden fences that were blocking the road.

Iyuanzhe stepped forward and said to Osato, "I'm sorry, Yoshihisa. Blame me for not informing them in time. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Osato Yoshihisa immediately dismounted in the face of Yi Yuanzhe's self-reproachful expression, and bowed slightly: "It was because I had to leave suddenly that I caused a misunderstanding." ”

"Well, no matter what the future holds, the door of my Iyuan family will open for you at any time. As long as you are in Anton's, I will help Anton in the near season. ”

"This, His Highness's affection has been unforgettable for a long time." Yoshihisa Osato was flattered for a while, and he didn't expect His Royal Highness Iyuan to be so approachable. He also sighed secretly in his heart, but it was a pity that he was the minister of Anton first.

"If Your Highness allows, I have a young son, Shinzaburo, who is eight years old this year, smart and studious, and hopes to follow His Highness." Yoshiko thought about it for a long time and then made this request.

"Okay, I'll let him take him with me like Yuko, and study with Maruta, the son of Rishin, and Yamatsumimaru, the son of Yoshikiyo. When you go back, send someone to send Saburo to Kozen Castle, where Sakurahime is there, and she will take care of him. Yi Yuanzhe readily agreed, and he also knew in his heart that Dazato Yoshihisa might just be just for one more way, so that he would not be infamous for betraying the master.

"Thank you, Your Highness. That.... Farewell! "Thank you.

"Wait a minute!" I saw Iyuanzhe bend down and re-tie the leggings that Yoshihisa Osato's had dropped.

"Your Highness, no." Dali Yoshihisa hurriedly spoke, but Yi Yuanzhe still wore leggings and said with a smile: "This friendship! It's like this legging, if no one cares about it coming loose, it's going to fall off sooner or later. ... All right! “

"Your Royal Highness....." Dali Yoshihisa was greatly moved for a while, there had never been a lord of any party who thought that his subordinates would do such a thing, and he cared so much about his subordinates, and he deeply imprinted this extraordinary governor in his heart. "Your Highness's affection, remember it for a long time......"

On the road to Antler County, Yoshihisa Osato led his army on the way home. Yi Yuanzhe looked at the figure of them walking away, and it was Teng Tang who came to his side and said, "Is the lord learning Cao Cao?" ”

"No, I'm just burying a nail in Anton's recent season." Yi Yuanzhe slightly outlined the corners of his mouth. Teng Tang also knew that he was smiling and looked at the team in the distance, only the southern Teng Xin looked at a daze: What kind of trouble is this going on, the lord?

"Teng Xin, are you ready over there?" Yi Yuanzhe asked Teng Xin.

"Yes! The subordinates have already sent An Rong to the nine households to continue to discuss the follow-up matters, An Yun has taken the two households with the cooperation of the political relatives, and the nine households seem to be stepping up preparations for the war. But it never came out, as if waiting for something. Teng Xin replied respectfully to Yi Yuanzhe.

"Hmmm! Asada Masatsu is the key this time, and it's up to you whether or not we can get our army to collect these places as quickly as possible. Even if Kasai intervenes, it will take a lot of time to prepare. ”

"Hah! Subordinates understand! “

And just when Iyuanzhe was preparing to stabilize Minohe and then prepare military funds to continue south, Kunohe Masami of Kunohe County got bad news, and the new governor of the Nanbu clan summoned the samurai of the southern clan to pocket the barrier between Kunohe and Sanhe at the first time, and the Southern Army coalition army was stationed at the border of Kunohe under the leadership of Nanbu Yashimitsu and Nihe Masako. He regrets it very much now, he didn't take advantage of the time Kawatakanobu withdrew his troops to occupy the place immediately, and at present, he can only wait for news from the direction of Yonezawa City, hoping that Date Harumun can intervene!

In Asada Castle in the western part of Kunohe

Asada Masamitsu was receiving the envoy of Igen Tetsu: "Is what His Highness said about Igen true?" ”

"Yes! His Royal Highness said: His Royal Highness Masamitsu is from the southern clan, and now that the southern clan has returned to the throne, Ishikawa Takanobu and the nine families of Masaei want to take advantage of the opportunity. The public should put the righteousness first. "The messenger is Southern An Rong, the younger brother of An Guang.

"Humph! Isn't everything done by his Yiyuan family? Now it's still so righteous. Asama Masamitsu said sarcastically.

Nanfang An Rong's face was as usual: "My lord, the southern family is still there, it is enough for us to serve the southern family, His Royal Highness Yi Yuan promised that your general authority over the nine western cities will not change, of course, this is also the action of your lord." ”

Asada Masamitsu's heart is actually longing, now that the southern clan has declined, and the Igen family is rising day by day, the back has almost become their world, as long as they continue to go south, they can directly take Jiuhe and Shuyi, and threaten the land counties of Date and Kasai. He didn't have a choice, for the sake of the southern family is just a rhetoric, the key is still profitable.

"Well, I will do what the Zong family says, I just hope that the Zong family's army can arrive in time."

"Hah! The day the army marched south was the time of the destruction of the nine households. Nanfang An Rong bowed his head and replied.
