October 3rd, 17th year of astronomy

Imoto Tetsu led an army of 3,000 across the border of Kita-gun and entered Sannohe, and the northern castles of Sanhe and the local small wealthy clans surrendered to the main southern city of Sanhe Castle, which was guarded by Ishikawa Takanobu's brother Ishikawa Morinobu.

"Lord Shengxin, Yi Yuanzhe is here with an army of 3,000, and we only have 100 horsemen, plus the strength of each army is only more than 400 people, it is really difficult to resist!" One of Sheng Xin's subordinates in the main hall said worriedly.

After saying that, everyone present also looked embarrassed, Ishikawa Takanobu led the army to counterattack the nine households and the nine households had not yet returned, and the Iyuan clan suppressed the three households to make everyone breathless.

"My lord, I should immediately gather the people, relying on the characteristics of my three households to be condescending and easy to defend and difficult to attack, I will definitely be able to hold out until the main hall returns with the army." Another retainer Kunimori happened immediately.

Ishikawa Morinobu nodded, although he didn't have the talent of his brother Takanobu, but at least he understood that he couldn't back down for the sake of the family.

"Lord Shengxin, I have some suggestions." Tsugaru Toshinobu said suddenly.

Ishikawa Morinobu saw that it was Tsuharu Toshinobu and took the lead in taking refuge in the southern part of the Ishikawa family, so he said without thinking, "Tsugaru Hall, please speak." ”

"Yes, the three families lost almost half of their elites due to the defeat of the ancestor Ueda, and the usurpation of the Hokushi clan not long ago, and then the invasion of the nine households, the people are already dissatisfied with our samurai, and if we forcibly continue to recruit, I am afraid it will cause riots." Tsugaru Toshinobu swallowed his saliva and continued: "Actually, around Sanhe Castle, Heyuan, Kamitake, Xintian and other families have retainers to guard, although there are not many, but it is estimated that there will be more than 100 people who will be able to strengthen the defense of Sanhe Castle. ”

"Heyuan? Although they were not directly involved in the affairs of the Northern Faith Love and the hostile clan, they were after all more closely connected to the Southern Clan. ”

"Dare to ask Lord Shengxin, does the Southern Qingzheng family still exist?" Tsugaru Toshinobu retorted: "There are no children in the Harumasa Palace, Mrs. Geiko has become a monk at the Boruo Kannonji Temple, and Miss Haruhime is also under house arrest in the hall. ”

Ishikawa Morinobu was speechless for a while, yes! The southern lineage was severed.

"My subordinates are also willing to lead their families to fight to the death for Lord Shengxin." Suddenly, Tsugaru Toshinobu bowed down and said loudly.

Finally, under the advice of Tsugaru Toshinobu, Morinobu was also moved by Tsugaru Toshinobu's words, and allowed him to lead his family to guard the three households together, and ordered Heyuan and other families to lead troops into the city.

Tsugaru Toshinobu looked at more than 100 people such as Heyuan and Shangzhu who entered the city with a flat look, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow, he was a person who was willing to do anything for the sake of inheriting the family name and family honor. This is true of serving Southern Harimasa, of taking refuge in Ishikawa Takanobu, and of the Igen clan.

"Lord, the Yiyuan Hall summons have been prepared, and we will wait for the 'fire' tonight." Langgang stood behind him with a solemn face.

"Well, let's rest first......

Tsugaru Toshinobu did not have too many vicissitudes on his face when he was over thirty years old, and the humiliation of these years also made him know how to change his face and be a man, he was eager to restore his family name and honor, so he would only choose the strong, and if it was the Igen clan that fell into disadvantage today, he would not hesitate to abandon his oath. That's his rule of survival.

Langgang glanced at the back of the lord, and then bowed back.

……

When night fell, Sannohe Castle was not on full alert, because the main force of the Igen army suddenly stagnated, and Morinobu didn't know what Iyuanzhe had in mind, so he had to keep sending fast horses to inform Ishikawa Takanobu.

As the moon climbed overhead, the vigilant army continued to patrol the castle with torches, and a samurai shikiya Uchizuki Toshinobu, Kawagen Tadamasa, Kamitake Yorinaga, and Nitta Clan Village all held swords and looked at Tsugaru Toshinobu in full armor.

"Yi Yuanden, order me to wait for tonight's action. If you win, you have all the wealth and honor, and if you lose, it's no wonder that you want to wait hard in the world once. Tsugaru Toshinobu said in a calm voice.

"Oh~" everyone also replied in a low voice.

"I'm willing to block it, anyway, even if Ishikawa Takanobu comes back, I will definitely have nothing to wait." Nitta Village sweated on his forehead, gritted his teeth and said to everyone.

"Oh~" Everyone also understands that the southern meal is no longer there, and the southern concubine is cut off, and now that the Yiyuan army is pressing, this is naturally an opportunity to show determination.

"Get ready! The twisted wheel is on fire, opens the city gate, and kills Shengxin. ”

"Oh!"

While the undercurrent in the castle was surging, on a high platform not far from the main castle, sat a new building built by Minami Harimasa. Nanbu Haruhime looked out the window with bright eyes, and what seemed to her to be a warm home was now a cage.

"The spring days are long, and sometimes there are light sources traveling in the twilight; Walking from the edge of the thatched wall of the house under the slope, only one person is left by his side, peeking at the scene in the hermitage. From time to time, a girl came to and frolicked, and a girl walked straight up to him and asked, "Did you quarrel with your companion?" Answer: The puppy let go of the little sparrow and wanted to keep it in a cage. The sparrow in the cage flew away! ........." Haruhime muttered to herself, Zishang can meet Guangjun, who is my Guangjun?

These days, she can only pin her heart on "The Tale of Genji" to drive away the biting loneliness and fear, which makes the thirteen girls feel tired.

"Miss Haruhime."

Harukhime turned his head and saw the figure outside the bamboo curtain, and he heard the voice of Nanbu Yasutsu: "Lord Yasuko! “

"Oh! Miss Haruhime, please whisper There are a lot fewer guards here at the moment, I sneaked in just to inform Miss that something might happen tonight, but I, Anguang, will definitely swear to protect Uncle Haruma's bloodline. "Nanfang Anguang is the younger brother of Nanfang Anyun, as a distant clan of the Southern Clan, his brother died and he was not in Sanhe City and was spared. He is different from his brother An Yun, he has always admired what Haruma has done for the southern family the most, and Harumasa's bloodline must not be broken, and he doesn't want Harumi to be hurt in the war.

"Ahh Haruhime David was surprised.

"Miss Qingji, don't worry, please don't panic and walk around if there is anything going on, your subordinates will definitely protect Miss Qingji's safety." After saying that, Nanfang Anguang walked away quickly in black. None of the dozen or so remaining guards in the Southern Clan Pavilion noticed.

Igen Tengshin took five hundred Iyuan troops and two hundred troops including Kitazawa Yoshikiyo and carefully came all the way to the not far from Sanhe Castle.

"Lord Tengshin, the towering castle tower is the Sanhe Main Castle, and the high platform in the distance on the right is the Southern Clan Pavilion" Kitazawa Yoshikiyo and Kitazawa Yoshitaka followed on both sides of Teng Shin, and he pointed to the castle and said.

Teng Xin looked at it and sighed: "Sure enough, it is a strong city, and the heavenly guard is so high." The Southern Clan Pavilion is a large hall. ”

"Yes! If it is attacked, I don't know how many people will be killed or wounded. Yiqing also looked embarrassed.

"Everything depends on whether Tsukiyo Toshinobu is capable, even if it doesn't work, when the lord defeats Ishikawa Takanobu, how long can a lonely city last."

"Oh!" The two of them also instantly relaxed their tense hearts.

Teng Xin looked in the direction of the Southern Clan Pavilion, and when he heard that the daughter of Nanbu Qingzheng was under house arrest there, he sighed in his heart, but he was just another person struggling with fate! It's just that what he doesn't know is that he will change because of her.
