Chapter 41 Beitian Goes North

Astronomical 17 years

This year, the arrival of Iyuanzhe led the army all the way south to shake the entire Oshu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this year, the Date family, the most powerful name in Oshu, was forced to end with the mediation of Ashikaga Yoshiki due to the opposition between the father and son of Uemune and Harumune, and Harumune succeeded him as the governor of the family.

This year, a young man named Oda Nobunaga will marry the daughter of Michizo Saito, the Oda family's nemesis.

In this year, Takeda Harunobu (Shingen) had just suffered a great defeat in his life, and despite the opposition around him, he sent an army to Shinano in the heavy snow, intending to capture Sakajo, the base of Murakami Yoshikiyo. The tired division that came from the march in the snow was attacked by the fighting Murakami Yoshikiyoshi army, and the ambush killed the Takeda army and abandoned its armor, and Takeda Harunobu was defeated.

This year the Northern Army God began a dispute with his brother Nagao Harukei, and Nagao Keitora (Kamishi Kenshin) will enter Kasuga Mountain Castle.

In the seventeenth year of Astronomy, the strong rise of the Oshu Iyuan family has shaken the eastern country.

In the eastern part of Shuyi County, Teng Xin in the south led 800 southern troops to successfully break through Iwano Castle, and by the way, some small cities around it were captured together.

Iyuanzhe led the main force to attack Zhaii from the west, and the two armies became pincers and went straight to the residence of Hachinohe Masaei.

In Fu'an Castle, Hachihe Masaei has already led three wine pots, the news of the Igaki family's two-way march has come, and the news of the loss of the direction of Scarlet Mountain Castle has made him even more angry is that the combined forces of Tomura Masakai and Osaki Yoshijin have taken the opportunity to attack and suffer from the enemy.

"Lord Zhengei, should we first express our submission to His Highness Qingzong? Osaki Yoshijin is subordinate to him! Takamori Iwajima asked Masaei Hachinohe.

Hachinohe Masaei still looked angry, and yelled at Takamori Iwajima: "This is the only opportunity for the family to grow, so let it go?" ”

Iwajima Takamori did not retreat, he took a deep breath and said, "Then may I ask if your Excellency can fight against any army alone?" The Iyuan family, who defeated the entire southern family, is the adult confident that he can defeat it? ”

Hachihe Zhengrong looked hideous, and said viciously: "If they want to come, they will come, and I will accompany them to fight to the end." ”

Takamori Iwajima also insisted: "War is not just talk. ”

"Humph! Longsheng, you don't have the courage to face the enemy anymore, go back to your Dongfan City! ”

"How can a subordinate leave the lord at this time?" Takamori Iwajima also replied with some breath.

"My lord, Longsheng is also thinking about his family." Kan Shan Yuki, who was on the side, opened his mouth to intercede for Longsheng.

"Humph!" Hachinohe Masaei snorted lightly, his face still pale.

Seeing this, Kanyama Yuki continued: "It's better to call Masashi to discuss, after all, our two families have always been together. And the three hundred elites under his command are also a big help. ”

In fact, Masaei Hachinohe is a little afraid of Masashi in the heart of Hachinohe, and he has always expressed his support for Masashi. Now that the political army has fled here, he naturally has his careful thoughts, who said that the former Jiuhe Zhengshi has always been the confidant of the southern Qingzheng! Now it's not like a lost dog, so I just arranged a small yard and gave some barely enough food and grass to make ends meet.

After thinking about it for a while, he agreed to call the nine households into the city to see what he suggested. After all, now he also understands that the days of his hegemony in Closed Yi may be almost over, and if necessary, she will also surrender to Date Haruzong.

At this time, Fu'an City was already busy, and Hachinohe Masaei had been reorganizing his armaments since the border of Iyuanzhe Chenbing.

Nine households were arranged by eight households in a simple courtyard outside the city, and this courtyard could not accommodate more than 300 of them, so they had to set up a lot of military tents around.

Kunohe Masashi leaned against the pillar of the courtyard with his open clothes on a decadent face, and kept sending wine to his mouth. He's running out of everything now......

"Your Excellency's health matters." His wife, Keiko, was worried, and she had been doing so since she arrived. She wanted to snatch the wine bowl from the hands of Masashi Kuto.

Jiuhe Masashi pushed her away: "Zhengrong, that kid dares to do this to me, heh!" Now that he has fallen into such a situation, he can't even see me. ”

"Your Excellency, you've drunk too much." Keiko was distressed by the appearance of Masumi Kunohe on the side.

"If Nobunaga is still here, if I hadn't taken refuge in Nanbu Harumasa and snatched the power when Nobunaga went to Luo, how could my nine households have been trampled under Nanbu Harumasa all these years." Through the paralysis of alcohol, Masami Kunohe finally let him say what was in his heart. In fact, he has always admired his brother Nobunaga Kunohe, but one wrong step is the wrong step, and the common character of the nine families is also used as the word for politics by Nanbu Harimasa, and it is the same as the other families.

"My lord......" Keiko turned her head and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She couldn't bear to see Kunohe Masashi look like this.

"My lord! Lord Zhengei sent someone to invite the lord to enter the city to discuss important matters. A samurai in civilian clothes walked in briskly and spoke.

Kudo Masatomi's originally sloppy eyes had some brilliance, and he tidied up his clothes: "Keiko, quickly take out my big armor." ”

"Huh?" Keiko looked puzzled......

In Closed Yi County, because Iyuanzhe was taking every step this time, he did not directly look for the main battle of Hachinohe Masaei, but successively controlled the newly conquered territories and adopted a steady and steady strategy, so the speed of the advance was slow. Except for the Scarlet Mountain City, which was not captured, the entire northern part of Closed Yi was basically pacified.

And the same is true of Osaki Yoshijin, who did not attack the central main castle area of Hachinohe Masei, as if he was waiting for something.

Kitada Castle

Kitada Toshimasa sat in the room with a tangled face, he had already received an order from Date Guardian to let him cooperate with Osaki Yoshizhen to resist the southward movement of the Iyuan family, he actually knew that Date Harumuni had been worried about the consequences of the Iyuan family's continuous growth, and the rapid rise of the Iyuan family during this period of time had made the entire Mutsu family look sideways, and then he was deeply worried.

"That's how the southern family is over!" Kitada couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Father, are we following the orders of the guardians? Do you really want to send troops north? His eldest son, Masa, asked his father beside him.

Kitada Tokimasa sighed and said to his son: "We don't have a choice, I feel that Date Hall is playing a game of chess, and we are just one of the chess pieces." In that case, my Kitada family also has to get some benefits from Hachinohe Masakae. ”

"What chess pieces?" Kitada Masako was puzzled, but he believed that his father could handle it.

"Later, you will understand, go down and tell the retainers to prepare! Our Kitada Army will cooperate with Osaki and Tozawa and go north in the near future. ”

"Oh!"

After finishing speaking, Kitada Tokimasa began to write a reply to Date Harumune.

So the entire Kitada family, under the pressure of the Date family, led 600 elites to join the Osaki Yoshizhen tent.

Date Harumune was indeed playing chess, with the Kasai family controlling Iwate to force the Anto family in Antler County, and using Osaki, Tozawa, Kitada, etc. as fulcrums to block Iyuanka's southbound road, and the Date family has begun to prepare for war in various parts of the land, and a strategic line to suppress the Iyuan family in the north of the land was formed. Everything depends on the arrival of Date Haruzong's main force, the three thousand horsemen of Date Elite.
