After seeing the long-tailed Huihu from a distance in the big tent, Duan Zang immediately knelt on the ground:

"The villain sees His Highness!"

“…… Well. ”

Sister Jinghu slowly put down a volume of the "Diamond Sutra", raised her head and glanced at Kato Duanzang in the corner.

"Say it."

"Hay!"

Kato Duanzo is already an extremely skilled ninja, but when facing Nagao Teru, he is still cautious, and he deliberately becomes more and more respectful, just to leave a good impression on Nagao Teruto.

After all, his lord is still Sasa Naruma, and Sasa Naruma is just a retainer of Naga-tailed Teruto.

"On the 10th of July, Harunobu Takeda set out from the hesitant Kikan, arrived at Katsumi Castle on the 14th, and on the 15th, he left Kawanakajima and arranged along the southern shore of the Rhikawa River. Kakizaki and Izumi-samarum, who remained in the country, and Naoe Yamatomori-samarum, went out together and set up a formation along the north bank of the Rhino River. The Takeda Army had 12,000 men and the Nagao Army had 15,000 men. ”

The long-tailed Teruma let out another "um".

In fact, she also knows this information...... Now that it's the end of July, no matter how slow the news is delivered, she should know about Takeda Harunobu's departure from Kawanakajima. She also knew that there had been several skirmishes between the Takeda Army and the Nagao Army, and that they had won and lost each other, but they did not break their bones.

"Kakizaki Keijia's strength, I'm still confident, I don't think Seimasa will let you tell me a bunch of useless information...... Tell me, what is the purpose of your trip? ”

Sister Jinghu sat up straight and finally asked.

Her voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating, and despite the distance of a dozen or so steps, Duan Zang could hear it clearly.

In Kato Duanzo's opinion, the figure of the long-tailed Teruhu seems to coincide with the statue of Bishamonten...... He hurriedly lowered his head and held back the wild beating of his heart.

"Hay! In the evening, Usami-sama delivered a letter to Zaixia, telling the villain to be handed over to His Royal Highness. ”

Usami is full?

Sister Jinghu raised her eyebrows.

"Does Cheng Zheng know about this?"

"Usami-sama also has a letter to her lord, so I guess I know about it."

"I ask you...... Does Chengzheng know about this? ”

Sister Jinghu repeated again, but her tone suddenly became cold.

Kato Duzo's head hung lower:

“…… Villain, I don't know. ”

"Since you don't know, you can take this letter and go to the next general manager to ask Chengzheng, and come to me after asking clearly."

It is said that a woman's heart is unpredictable, and the long-tailed Huihu, who is a military goddess, is afraid that her mind is more ethereal than the needle under the sea.

Kato Duan couldn't hide his belly, but he didn't understand what Nagao Teruhu meant. She ordered herself to go to Sazo Chengzheng, and for what?

As a daimyo, doesn't Nagao Terutora want to spy on his retainers?

Usami Dingmitsu is very famous in Echigo, and he has long had a mentor-apprentice friendship with Huihu, so as a teacher, what is strange about writing a letter to the former young master?

The reaction of the long-tailed Teruhu must have been too cold.

"So...... The villain retired. ”

Duan Zang got up to leave, and when he was about to go out, Sister Jinghu asked again:

"Do you think your little actions can hide from Chengzheng?"

Kato Duanzang's heart was shocked, slowly turned around, and knelt down again:

"Villain...... I don't understand what His Royal Highness means. ”

"Chengzheng just cherishes the talents of the two of you."

Sister Jinghu finished saying this coldly, then picked up the "Diamond Sutra" that she put down and read it silently.

Kato Duanzang understood the meaning of Sister Jinghu's words in an instant, and he couldn't help but stand on end, chilling to the bone.

- Sasa Narumasa just cherishes his and Usami's talents?

Other words...... The reason why the two of them are still alive is only because Chengzheng needs their talents, so he didn't kill these two disloyal retainers?

Kato Duanzo stepped out of the big tent, remembering the coercion of Sasa Narimasa when they first met, which was like a substance and comparable to a mountain, and couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.

In a trance, the sound of iron cannons came from the south side of the camp, could it be that the Hojo Army launched another night attack?

Following the source of the sound, when Duan Zang hurried over, he found that hundreds of corpses had been lying on the side of the "Kyokan", and many dead Hojo Gunzu were lightly planted with white flags, and blood flowed out and soaked in the flags, dyeing dark flowers one by one.

There was still the smell of gunsmoke in the air, and not far away, a group of Ji warriors in blue shirts and white trousers were chattering about something, and Duan Zang quickly integrated the information in front of him, and quickly guessed the result.

- The Hojo Army's "Hakubi" launched a night attack in order to destroy Kyokan, but was thwarted by the Echigo early attack group lying in ambush on the flank.

Half an hour later, Kasahara Yasukatsu, the head of the white bibi banner, held an arm that was still bleeding and knelt in front of Hojo Shiyasu:

"The last general will do not do well, please punish the lord!"

"There's nothing to blame, take care of your injuries."

"Thank you for your forgiveness!"

After Kasahara Yasukatsu left, Hojo sighed heavily.

Before noon the next day, Shikang sent a reserve team to attack Jingguan, but was divided and surrounded by the Echigo cavalry team cruising on the side, and the armor was not returned.

There are hundreds of more human heads on the Jingguan, fresh and delicious.

Although there are many cumulus clouds drifting around under the blue sky, the cumulus clouds can neither shade nor rain in the summer after the rainy season.

The weather was hot, and the scorching sun was scorching, just like Hojo Shiyasu's anxious heart.

"Alas......"

Naoe Jingzuna sighed again.

Because there are always generals coming to him these days, Jing Gang is annoyed, today is another sunny day, hiding in the tent feels like an oven, Naoe Jing Gang took the surname and secretly ran to the mountain where Zenko Temple is located, and found a shady outlet to sit.

Although the cicadas are noisy, they have been used to hearing them for many years and do not feel anything, this place has pine shade, and from time to time a gust of mountain wind blows, which is extremely cool.

The mountain wind seemed to blow Naoe Jinggang's anxious mood to the ground.

- This is the rhythm that should have been, but unfortunately, Naoe Jinggang heard someone shouting "Naoe-sama" again.

He sighed heavily, and sat up from the smooth boulder.

"Let's go."

The little surname is still a little lucky, and he said in a sneering manner:

"We're hiding here, and they won't be able to find it."

Naoe Jinggang didn't say a word, just shook his head, and after taking the knife and inserting the ribs from the hand of the little surname, he walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

"Naoe-sama!"

"Naoe-sama is there!"

"Oops...... Finally found you! ”

…… A group of people surrounded Naoe Keixuna with a lot of gossip, saying nothing more than the same thing. Because the commander of the Nagao Army, Kakizaki Keijia, adopted a defensive strategy, many of the generals of the Nagao family were a little dissatisfied:

- The Takeda Army has 12,000 troops and the Long Tail Army has 15,000 troops, so it's obvious that they have the advantage!

A thousand words in one sentence:

"Naoe-sama, let's fight!"

Naoe Keitsuna served as the instructor of the Echigo clans...... should have said "comrades, you can't fight", but this time it was unprecedented:

"Kakisaki-sama is the general of this battle, since I can't convince you, I'll ask Kakisaki-sama to adjudicate."

"Good! Naoe-sama is decisive! ”

It only took a second for the gunless generals to agree happily, as long as Naoe Keitsuna, the first old family in Echigo, agreed, and was afraid that the Kakizaki Keijia, who was an arbitrarian faction and militant, would not agree?

However, this is of no avail.

Because Kakizaki Keijia has only one sentence:

"Guys, you can't fight!"
