Chapter 46: The Osaki Alliance
At the time when Fu'an Castle was under siege, more than 1,900 people led by Osaki Yoshijin and other allied forces such as Tozawa, Kitada, Hagami, Hori-Etsu, and Akai had already arrived at Komanzan Castle, which was a half-day's walk south of Fu'an Castle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It will take time for the Date army to assemble in the land, and the current Date family is no longer in the period of Uemune, and weak people are always slow to act, but Date Harumune is not willing to give up this opportunity to take advantage of the chaos in Okubei to control Okubei and restore the prosperity of Oda.
Small mountain town
The samurai gathered, and the first one with a goatee was Osaki Yoshijin, but his slightly thin body did not show the majesty it should have.
And he sat down on both sides, some of the samurai were absent-minded, and some were talking to each other, while Kitada Toshimasa sat in the lower left seat with his eyes closed, and the eldest son Kitada Masa, who was kneeling behind him, sat down without saying a word.
"Ahem, ahem......"
Yoshijin Osaki knocked on the floor with a plum folding fan.
But everyone seemed unmoved, and still went their own way, as if to say: I can bring the army here for the sake of the face of the Date Guardian, but not because of you Osaki Yoshizhen.
The corners of Osaki Yoshijin twitched slightly, how embarrassing is this? I'm the general of the coalition forces.
Don't blame him, the coalition army is one thousand nine, the Osaki army is only two hundred people, and the other families are either more than him, or about the same, in the final analysis, it is a matter of strength, and they want to be loyal to Ita Harumune, and you, the general general, are just a puppet of Date Harumun.
Seeing this embarrassing situation, Yuki Hideman, a powerful retainer sitting next to Yoshizhen Osaki, angrily slammed the saber placed on the left side in front of him, and the old body was full of anger and yelled at the crowd below:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Quiet. ”
At this time, the world was quiet, and everyone looked at Yuki Hideman, who was suffocating and his face was flushed, and Osaki Yoshizhen saw that Zhuang hurriedly put away the open folding fan, and said in a positive voice:
"You have come today to discuss military affairs, not to reminisce about the past."
"Yo! Did the retainers of Osakiden want to use the sword? ”
A gloomy voice came from behind, and everyone saw that it was Kiichi Akai, only to see him looking at Yoshijin Osaki with disdain.
Anger, that's right, anger, a cloud of anger surged in Osaki Yoshizhen's heart, and he wanted to roar now: How dare you be so domineering?
But when the words came to his lips, they became:
"Misunderstanding, Xiuman just kindly reminded the monarchs that military affairs are important...... Military affairs matter. ”
"Cut~"
Akai shrugged lightly, then turned his head away from Osaki Yoshijin.
Kitada Toshimasa saw these things in his eyes, full of worries, Date Harumune did not use people well, or he just experienced civil strife and he didn't have many arms to rely on, and wanted to rely on the previous prestige of the Osaki family to command everyone? What strength does the Osaki clan, which has already been destroyed by the Date family, have? And now that the enemy is no longer united, each has its own small abacus, how can it win?
He sighed lightly and said:
"The Yiyuan army has already joined Fu'an City, if Fu'an falls, our army may be in danger without the support of the main formation of the Date Palace, and now you still work together not to live up to the expectations of the Great Palace!"
He said the words of Date Hall very loudly, as if he was deliberately reminding everyone.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, yes! The enemy is still cautious at the moment.
"Ahem...... Now that the army of this camp and the Hachinohe and Kuhe armies of Fu'an Castle have an absolute advantage, I hope that you will discuss how to distribute the various armies and drive the little-known Iyuan family back to the forests of Tsugaru in one fell swoop. ”
"Haha......"
I have to say that Osaki Yoshizhen said this to everyone's hearts, and it was rumored how powerful the Yiyuan army was, but they thought that they were just lucky, and a group of people who turned their backs on the enemy actually dared to go south.
"What kind of bullshit Iyuan family, have you ever heard of it before? It's just that he took advantage of the recent battle between Southern Qingzheng and Andong to sneak attack his own formation. According to me, we can sweep all the way through without the Date Hall sending troops, and we can sweep away the Closed Yi to the North County. The big man with a beard on his face yelled at everyone present with disdain, as if in his eyes the Yiyuan family was just a local chicken and a dog.
"Hahaha......"
"That makes sense!" “……”
Many people echoed it, and Kitada Shizheng frowned slightly, he also had questions in his heart, why suddenly a Yiyuan family appeared to replace the southern family, but he always felt that the opponent would not be so simple, if it was all luck, then luck was too good!
"Well, Yu Shangdian's words are very reasonable."
Osaki Yoshijin also began to play haha, and then continued:
"In this case, Tomorrow Yu Shang Hall and Horiyue Hall will rush to Fu'an first for the front army, and the army of Beitian Hall will go to the barrel mountain next to Fu'an City to defend, and form a horn with Fu'an, and I will lead the rest of the army to arrive later."
"Oh! With my righteous light here, I must first take the head of Yiyuan children. ”
"This ...... It's better to wait for the army to arrive, rest assured, there will definitely be a chance for His Royal Highness Yushang to make a feat. ”
Osaki Yoshijin was also afraid of this cow, and regardless of supporting Fu'an City, he went straight to the main camp of the Igen army, disrupting his plan.
"Oh, it's just that the main hall wants to fight the Yiyuan army under the city of Fu'an?"
Kitada Toshimasa stared at Osaki Yoshijin on the first seat and asked the doubts in his heart.
Yoshijin Osaki's face was a little unnatural, and he explained:
"This ...... There were more than 1,000 people in Fu'an City, and we arrived with our army, and the cooperation of the two armies may not have the strength to defeat the Yiyuan army in one fell swoop. ”
Kitada Toshimasa looked deeply at Osaki Yoshizhen and nodded:
"Well, but the meaning of the Date Hall is that let's use Voltaina as the basis to block the Yiyuan army from continuing to move south, with the fortified city of Volt, plus our reinforcements, we are basically invincible."
"Well, that makes sense."
"yes!"
At one time, there were also many samurai who echoed Kitada's thoughts.
Of course, Osaki Yoshijin knew that his own side was enough to hold back the Iyuan army, and when Date Harumune's main formation arrived, it would basically be overwhelmingly crushed.
But he was not reconciled, and finally managed to control the Osaki clan, and his own advantage in this battle was obvious, since he had the opportunity, why not try? Even if he loses, as long as Voltaic City is still there, he can still hold on to the city.
This is an opportunity to make a name for yourself, and there is a great opportunity to control a lot of places in Aobei.
He was silent for a moment and replied:
"Of course I will follow the wishes of the main hall, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, if there is a chance, of course it is good to quickly defeat the Yiyuan army, and this is also an opportunity for the monarchs to make meritorious contributions."
Beitian said secretly: It turns out that you are not stupid, I know that many people are eager to make meritorious contributions and become famous, and use this to lure everyone.
So he did not raise any further objections, and bent down and replied:
"Well, I'll follow the general's orders."
"We will obey it."
Osaki Yoshijin looked at the people bending down below at this time, full of confidence, he seemed to see that the right was beckoning to him, and he would definitely be able to raise the power of Oshu and restore the glory of the Osaki clan.
