Chapter Twenty-Five: The Antlers Make an Alliance

In the days since Iyuanzhe returned to the base of Aoyama City, Teng Tang came once to bring information about the direction of Antler County, and the duel between Andong Jinji and Southern Harumasa over the dominance of Antler County is in full swing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info also made Yi Yuanzhe feel at ease, and also thanked Anton in his heart for his recent season, he must take full control of Beijun before the antlers are divided.

The Tsugaru area is colder than the south, although it is daylight, but the sky has become a little hazy, under the black eagle of Aoyama City, he stands quietly looking at the mountains outside the city, enjoying a rare quiet, this period of conquest has gone through the pain and laughter, and the familiar faces are buried in the battlefield like this.

When did you start to get used to blood? He asked himself in his heart.

Teng Xin walked to him with the hilt of the knife in one hand: "Lord, Teng Tang has news again, Southern Qingzheng led the army to attack Lujiao County in two ways, and the Anton family may be defeated." ”

Yi Yuanzhe listened to it and sighed, yesterday he was also glad that the Andong family and the southern Qingzheng fought to the death, and he had time to complete the northern county strategy and equip the county. But now, if Southern Harusama defeats the threat of the Ando clan, then it is very likely that he will invade Tsugaru directly from Kita-gun.

"Maybe Ishikawa Takanbu of Zhusen Castle should let it go." He said to Teng Xin.

Teng Xin suddenly understood what the lord meant, did he want to ...... So he asked, "Does the lord want to unite with the Anton clan?" ”

"Not only to make an alliance, but also to lead the army of Qingshan City to support Anton Jinji."

"Huh? Lord, in addition to the garrison, Qingshan City has only 600 troops. Teng Xin was surprised and still reminded the lord.

"Well, I know, we're just going to support the Anton clan so they don't fall." The corners of Yi Yuanzhe's mouth were slightly hooked.

Antlers County **** field

The Anton family army was picking up the dead companions, and from time to time there were crows chirping in the sky.

Anton has been surrounded by generals in recent times, looking at the battlefield that has just passed through the battle! Anton's army went all the way south to ambush Hachinohe Masaei and other four households, but he didn't expect Hachinohe Masaei to also speed up the march, resulting in an encounter in which both sides were not ready, Hachinohe Masaei retreated after leaving more than 100 corpses, and then counterattacked Andong with the help of the **** Tian clan in Antler County, the casualties on both sides have reached nearly two hundred, and finally the tacit retreat fell into a stalemate.

Anton recently watched his subordinates cleaning up the battlefield: "After this battle, our side has fallen into passivity. ”

"Your Highness, there are still more than 1,400 people in our army, and there are only nearly 800 people left in Hachihe Zhengrong, and our advantage is still obvious." Toshi Yoshida said to Anton in the near quarter.

Anton shook his head in recent years: "Hachinohe Masaei is not a red deer, how can he easily fight with us again, he will definitely wait for the arrival of the army of Southern Haruma to block our retreat." ”

The rest of the generals also frowned when they heard this, is this situation blamed for not cleaning up those rebellious and impermanent people in the first place? No, even if the family is divided into troops to garrison, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop such a large army as Qingzheng in the south; Many people thought to themselves.

In the end, after thinking about it, Andong finally decided to withdraw his troops and retreat to the Ueda Castle area in the north of Antler-gun, and Hachinohe Masaei immediately led his army to Maoma Inner Castle to join up with Maoma Nei Hidefan; The Andong army then built a simple branch city in the form of a cottage along each side of Ueda Castle, and divided troops to garrison each other.

Two days later, the army of Southern Qingzheng arrived in the inner city of Maoma to complete the convergence with his other subordinates, and its military strength plus the number of people in the Antler Country has exceeded 3,000 people, and the flags inside and outside the city are all over the sky, the southern crane pattern flag, the cutting Ling flag, the two-striped flag, etc., as if there are ten thousand horses in the whole army.

In recent times, Anton sent 200 ashigaru and some samurai to each of the two branch cities, and Ueda Castle was garrisoned by him with a thousand troops to prevent the southern army of Momanai Castle from raiding.

The generals also followed Anton to inspect the city defenses in recent seasons, and they had to besiege the city a few days ago, but now they are in reverse, but they must be careful of the enemy siege. The world is so fickle!

At this time, a samurai ran over and reported: "Lord of the pavilion, the Tsugaru Igen clan has sent an envoy here." ”

"What?" The crowd around them will begin to look left and right.

Anton was also taken aback recently, he didn't have a friendship with the newly rising Tsugaru Igen clan, how could they send an envoy at this time. But then he thought of a possibility, which was the threat of the southern family, so he said, "Take it to the main room and wait." ”

"Yes!" The samurai finally got the lord's order, so he hurriedly went down to carry it out.

When Anton and his retainers came directly to the main room, they saw a samurai dressed in regular clothes sitting in the hall.

"Meet His Highness Anton below."

"Well, what did the Governor of Yiyuan send you to me?" Anton's two-bearded face is still quite upright, and he also has the power of the leader.

"Hah!" The samurai lowered his head in respect, then raised his head and said, "The Governor has come to Antler County, and Komori Castle in the northeast has been broken by our army, and the Governor will lead an army to join His Highness Anton." ”

Wow! The generals in the hall immediately exchanged their heads and ears, and even Anton opened his eyes wide-eyed, the Yiyuan family attacked Antler County? Don't think it's messy enough?

"Yi Yuandian means that he will lead an army to help?" A retainer immediately asked.

"Yes, the lord wants to make an alliance with His Royal Highness Anton, our army will support Andong Hall to fully control Antler County, and my Yiyuan family will dominate the northern county to complete the semi-encirclement of the southern clan, if one family is attacked, the other will directly attack the southern territory." The samurai said this in one breath.

Simple and clear, Anton nodded in recent times, at this time such an ally is also what he needs, he looked at the other retainers in the seat, and they all nodded in unison.

So he had a plan in his heart and said, "The envoy wants me to write a handwritten covenant with your family governor in the near future?" ”

"Oh! The lord once said: Samurai are based on loyalty and establish the world with faith. Since my lord has already led an army to support His Highness, he has already proved the covenant to the world. The samurai replied in a sonorous voice.

Winning the applause of the house for a while, Anton recently asked again: "Well, my family agrees." But how many troops did His Highness the Envoy Yi Yuan lead to come? ”

"A thousand!"

Wow~ Anton's retainers were all overjoyed, "The Yiyuan family actually sent a thousand troops......" "Now you don't have to defend everywhere." ”

"Haha, yes......"

The warrior of the Iyuan family looked at the excited appearance of Anton Junchen and smiled secretly in his heart, of course he didn't tell them the truth, in fact, there were only six hundred troops.

"His Royal Highness Anton has to reply to the lord and say goodbye!" The warrior bowed and withdrew. Anton has been amazed in recent times, this envoy of the Yiyuan family is not ordinary! There is a faint killing aura on his body.

The envoy was the new captain of the guard of Iyuanzhe, one of the four people who survived the bloody battle of Shichinohe Castle, he was given the name of Gangcheng by Iyuanzhe, and together with the remaining three, he was called the 'Gangcheng Four Loyal Guards' within the Iyuan Army.

Yuzhong left the inner city, then joined up with several of his companions who were waiting for him, and galloped away.

Southern Harimasu is still in the pride of having such a military force, and he doesn't know that the Iyuan family, who is like maggots, still has the strength to stir up the antler situation!
