Chapter 40: Raiders on Closed Iraq
readx;?Kunohe-gun Dama City
Masami Kunohe sat in the inner room with a reluctant face, clutching a letter in one hand, which was a reply from Date Harumune. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info only a few simple words, to the effect that if he and Kasai want to send troops, then Kunohe Masami must surrender to the Date family, otherwise he doesn't mind sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and then send troops to sweep through the northern part of the country.
"Damn!" Kuhe Masami gritted his teeth and threw away the letterhead, but after a while he crawled over and picked it up, the situation was no longer out of his control.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency......" A samurai ran in in a panic.
Masami Kunohe's mood was at a low point, and he scolded, "Bastard. Why are you so flustered? ā
"Your Excellency...... The political lord is he, he died in the battle of Kunohe Castle. ā
Syllable! With a bang, the nine households who had just stood up fell down and knocked the case over.
"My lord, are you alright?" The samurai hurriedly stepped forward to help Kunohe Masashi. Kudo Masashi hurriedly waved his hand, panting and said: "Quick, order the whole army to withdraw to Guanyi, ...... quickly"
On October 19, the 17th year of astronomy, the chief of the nine households was killed in battle because of the fall of the nine households, and the political chief only led the three hundred elites under his command to flee to the eight households of the government and the Rong office.
At this time, the county of Closed Yi was not peaceful, and the county of Closed Yi had a vast land, with a stone height of up to 30,000 stones, and it was destined that there were many wealthy families in this place. However, after the civil strife in Date and the fiasco in the southern Antlers Prefecture, many wealthy clans were purged because of the leaderless dragons, and Hachinohe Masaei gradually grew larger, but there were also declining wealthy clans such as the Kitada clan and the Tomura clan to compete with them, so that Hachinohe Masaei's ambition to unify and close Yi was temporarily curbed.
Hachinohe Masaei was originally a little irritable, and now the nine Masashi he originally supported was defeated, and he was coming to his home city Fu'an, and what made him even more restless was that the army of the Igen clan had gathered on the border, and he would be destroyed at any time, although his own strength had increased in the annexation during this time, his own military strength had not increased much, and there were two families in Shuyi, Kita and Tomura, who gritted their teeth at him.
Hachihe Masaei, when he thought of the battle of Antler County, he was very sad, and the elite of the southern family and many of the retainers were lost, otherwise he would be in this situation now. I was also very worried about the strength of the group of troops dressed in black lacquer pills, it was a group of people who killed the southern Qingzheng with their own hands!
"My lord, Lord Masashi will arrive in this city tomorrow, and how to place him in this family is also a problem!" Hachinohe Masaei's family elder Quan Shixin said tentatively.
When Hachinohe Masaei heard this, he tapped his forehead with a bat fan: "Got it!" "But he can't decide in his heart, is it that he came over and I gave him this position? Although he once supported him, he is now just a lost dog, so what can I do? Thinking of this, he continued: "It would be nice to arrange a courtyard to entertain them. I'd better think about where my eight families are going! ā
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Quan's letter would never want to see a dove occupy a magpie's nest, so it couldn't be better. Everything is just a matter of profit.
Yi Yuanzhe led 1,800 troops from the three reserves and more than 600 troops from Tsugaru, Heyuan, and Xintian, totaling more than 2,400 people, directly stationed in various parts of Malaysia, and Chen troops were stationed on the border with Iraq. Teng Xin in the south also led 800 elites under his command out of Jiuhe City to the east to form a pincer-like situation, ready to attack Guanyi at any time.
In Malaysia, Yi Yuanzhe watched the lively military forces above and below the city busily rising the smoke of cooking, and the Xintian army even sang and danced happily, which made the nervous military situation of the various families relaxed.
"I shall soar like a dragon!" He suddenly remembered a sentence from the shogunate and said it unconsciously.
"The Lord will be able to get his wish." Teng Zheng said with a smile on the side.
Yi Yuanzhe raised his eyebrows, looked at Teng Zheng and said, "What about the people in the world, the world I want to create will definitely not be so simple." ā
"Does the lord still want to conquer the four seas?" Teng Zheng asked with some surprise.
"That's just one of them." Yi Yuanzhe shook his head and turned his head to look into the distance, as if he was looking for something, and the words came out of his mouth softly: "But I know that in the future, there is a person who wants to conquer the four seas even more, and he is in the Tokaido. ā
The person Iyuan Zhe said, although he had been subdued two years ago, was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in Yi Yuanzhe's eyes, and this year, at the suggestion of Hirate Masahide, he was going to welcome the daughter of the "belly snake" as the main room.
Teng Zheng was very puzzled on the side, who else was there in Tokaido? Isn't it rumored that Imagawa Yoshimoto is the overlord of Tokaido? Could it be that the lord is talking about him? It seems that the lord is really far-sighted, and has already thought of the enemy he will face in the future.
It's just that Teng Zheng doesn't know that the person Iyuan Zhe is talking about is not Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"The lord is sorry to report to the lord, they are ready, and the army of the southern family is ready to obey the lord's military orders at any time." Gangcheng Yuzhong hurriedly ran over, although now he himself was ordered to take over the Hongqian reserve team and become a general, he still liked the time when he was by the lord's side in the past.
"Hmmm! Gather all the generals of the army and go to the city to discuss the matter! ā
"Hah!" Gangcheng Jiezhong hurriedly sent someone to deliver the message.
On the central floor of the temple is a map of the current geography and situation of the county.
"Your Highness!" Everyone walked in and did it in turn, and the first one was Yi Yuan Tengtang, Yi Yuan Zhe held a knife in his hand, walked down and sat down in front of the map, waved his hand: "Don't sit so far, all come here, today we will discuss the matter of closing Yi County." ā
All the samurai hurriedly sat around the map, and those who could not sit down stood in the back. They all looked at the map earnestly.
Yi Yuanzhe pointed with a knife at the area of Fu'an Castle of Hachinohe Masaei: "The northern part and the central part have been occupied by Hachinohe Masaei, and their power has increased greatly. Now our army is south of Dama Castle is his Scarlet Mountain Castle and Sakiri Maru Castle. Teng Xin was on our flank, and they went there to Iwano Castle in the east of Tsui and Fu'an Castle in the middle. ā
As soon as Igaki Tetsu's voice fell, everyone present began to think about the strategy, and many of them were familiar with military books.
"Your Highness, my subordinates believe that our army now has an advantage in attacking and advancing in two ways, but if the main force of our family wants to attack the city of Fu'an, it must break their defensive barrier. Moreover, the military strength of the southern hall is also insufficient, and it has already faced the main force of Hachinohe Masei alone. He Yuan touched his gray beard, and said thoughtfully, he is an old samurai, and he can still see through the basics.
"Yes! Lord Heyuan is right, Sakiri Marujo is good to say, although Scarlet Mountain Castle is not big, the terrain is really difficult to fight, and it is difficult to give full play to our numerical advantage on the top of the mountain. Nitta also said.
Teng Tang also said after looking at it carefully for a while: "Although this is the case, why should we waste our troops in Scarlet Mountain City, my lord, my subordinates suggested that our army divide a part of the siege, and the rest of the main force should take all the cities in the north as soon as possible, and then join forces with Teng Xin to take Fu'an directly." ā
"Well, that Gangcheng is loyal, you Hong Qianqian reserve stay, don't attack the city, and monitor their every move."
"Oh!" Yuzhong accepted the order without hesitation.
"Your Highness." Tsugaru Toshinobu thought for a moment and said, "The Kitada family and the Tomura family in the south of Shoi have always been hostile to Hachinohe Masaei, and I heard that there have been many fights recently, so it will be easy to get their allegiance to the main family. ā
"That's right! Kitada Shimasa's old man is quite upright and a trustworthy person, and if he gets his allegiance, he will definitely not lose his trust. ā
"But the Tomura clan has the background of the Osaki clan, and the Osaki clan will definitely participate in the chaos of the closed I."
"Humph! I'm afraid that Osaki won't be involved! "Iyuan Tetsu didn't take Osaki, who had already fallen to only a few hundred troops, what he was really worried about was that Date Harumune would participate, at present, the Kasai clan was attacking Iwate County, and there was no time to divide troops to close Ito County, but the Date family was different.
Igen Tetsu's worries are in fact the same, the Osaki family because of the participation in the "father-son rebellion" within Date, Date Harumune's brother Osaki Yoshitaka supported Date Uemune, and now he was defeated and killed, Date family governor was also inherited by Harumune, Osaki has completely taken refuge in Date.
"Tomorrow, Toshinobu and Hirotada attacked the castle of Sakirimaru and other castles together, and after taking the castle, in addition to the necessary garrison forces, they immediately led the army to converge at the main house. I will lead the main force to the central cities, and I will see if Hachinohe Masei has the courage to compete! ā
"Oh!" Everyone said yes in unison.
