Looking at the proud strength of Kojima Zhizhen, and then looking at his own mixed genius, Terashima Zhiding couldn't help but ask with a gloomy face: "I'm very curious why His Royal Highness Zhizhen claims to be in the lower and calls the lord His Royal Highness the Divine Protection?" Could it be that His Royal Highness of the town thinks that he is soaring on the big tree, and has forgotten us fellow countrymen who have lived a hard life? ”

"Because I have already subdued the Kira family, and obtained the ability of Fire Miyagi Castle to be blocked, the Kira family is one of the Echichu commissioners, and serves as the deputy of the Echichu Governor of the Great Bear Asahide, and the assistant Echichu affairs......" Kojima said with a smile: "By the way, by the way, I would like to give you an important piece of news, I just returned from Echizen Ichishiri Valley Castle before coming here, and I was ordered by the main hall of Sugidan to make an agreement with His Royal Highness the Governor of Echizen Asakura Saemon, and agreed to jointly divide the power of Kaga Ichishomune with the Tetori River as the boundary." ”

The scene suddenly became very quiet, and the samurai present understood what these short words meant, and the depth of the hatred between the Asakura family and Kaga Ichisho was really beyond words, and the two families were entangled for sixty years, always engaged in a tug-of-war between Echizen and Kaga.

However, because the strength of the Ichiyama sect is really strong, as early as a few decades ago, there was an invasion of Echizen to establish a fang official department, and the power of the Kaga Isōmune has always been very independent and strong, even the edicts of Ishiyama Honganji Temple are mostly ignored, and there have been many records of Kaga Ichimune generals killing envoys sent by Ishiyama Honganji.

For example, on April 26, 1556, the Sakai Shinshoji Temple's "Records of Selfishness" records an astonishing incident, in which the Asakura family's offensive momentum was greatly reduced due to the illness and death of Asakura Mune, and in early April, the Ishiyama Honganji Temple and the Echizen Asakura family had no intention of continuing the war. So the envoys of both sides went back and forth to discuss the conclusion of a peace agreement. Just when the parties were preparing to sign an agreement on a truce and withdrawal of troops. Echizen Ichizo Shogun's general Kokatsuji Kyoyoshi poisoned the messenger of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Shimoma Yoriyan.

Because the envoy in charge of the negotiation was suddenly killed, so that the peace negotiation between the Asakura family and Ishiyama Honganji Temple almost collapsed, Asakura Keiki wanted to pick up the sword and hack to death the Chaosheng Temple Kyofang, but this barbarian monk really shrank at all, and the lord of Honganji, who was sitting in Kinai, knew that his envoy had been killed again, and his expression was really wonderful and wonderful.

It's such a group of lawless bastard barbarian monks, in fact, Ishiyama Honganji also doesn't like it very much, but the temptation of the Hokuriku country is too great. It's big enough to make Honganji Xianru bear the black pot for these lawless barbarian monks, and the outside world's bad evaluation of the Ichijo sect is more than half of the trouble caused by this group of Kaga.

Uesugi Masatora's proposal was obviously instructed by Kira Yoshitoki, and it was a great deal to agree with the Asakura family to share Kaga, but the chief position of the god was not frightened by this, and his brain was very fast and said calmly: "The total division of Kaga is mostly a pretext for the town government and the main hall, as far as the family knows, the Kira family's strategy goal has not been the Hokuriku direction, with the strength of the town government if you want to pass through the Hokuriku Road, this Viet Nakwa country will not delay until now!" ”

"His Royal Highness the public side and the thoughts of the main hall of the bullet, I really dare not speculate. If His Highness thinks so, then so! Kojima smiled and continued, "As an old minister. I am a town to advise His Royal Highness Jimbo, surrender to the town government will also have a place for the Jimbo clan, follow Kaga Ichijo Zong is only afraid that it will be more auspicious, please make plans as soon as possible Don't miss this good opportunity, don't build a family business for Kaga Ichisho Sect that has been hard accumulated for more than 100 years. ”

From the past to now, he has repeatedly spoken and does not hesitate to violate the law to reveal the truth to the god protection chief, it is nothing more than a fake public and private help to the god protection chief, the kindness of the monarch and ministers for decades is not something that can be given up with a game of ability, and the town of Kojima is willing to take risks to explain to him, and it is indeed well-intentioned.

Thinking of this, the chief of the divine protection nodded slightly gratefully and said, "Thank you for the reminder from His Royal Highness Kojima, this family will seriously consider it!" ”

"Then take your leave!" Kojima handed over the paperwork, bowed, and got up to leave.

Terashima said suspiciously: "Lord! Kojima's attitude is very strange! If you would have never talked so much before, would there be any deception in this? ”

"It's not that there is fraud, but that he is helping his family at the risk of violating the law!" The chief of the priesthood sighed: "It seems that it is time to make a decision!" ”

This year, the rain in Yuezhong is less, the storm in July fell sparsely for half a month and stopped, and then it was a month and a half of sunny days, the red sun scorched the earth and evaporated the water that fell for many days, and a sunny day in summer can withstand the heat of April and May for two days, and the sunshine time is so long that you will sweat profusely if you walk outside for a while.

At the beginning of September, Yuezhong had already entered the autumn harvest, and Chaosheng Temple Miteru planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the Kira army to distract him to give Masuyama Castle a full blow, and the re-recruited army was more than 103,600 people, Sugiura Genren's ability to catch strong men was extraordinary, and he collected more than 7,600 strong men in just a few days, and he might be able to gather 10,000 people in a few days.

Therefore, Kaga has always been a propaganda to the outside world is 120,000 troops, but only 80,000 troops are actually used, and the other 23,000 people are stationed in various castles to monitor the streets to resist the Kira army going south, and the 3,000 people of the Jimbo Chief's headquarters are guarding the Tohokan, as an important point on the west bank of the Wada River, his role is to protect the road from being blocked by the Kira army, and the people under the Jimbo Chief's position are scattered in various villages in the Tonami Plains as eyeliner to provide information for the Shinbo Chief's position in the Tobo Pavilion.

To tell the truth, this arrangement is very rigorous and can be called strict, not a master of military strategy will never be able to come up with such a set of detailed arrangements, let the chief of the god to do it will definitely not be able to do this extent, it is conceivable that the Uesugi Masa Tiger in the release of Shengjin Castle is really coming south, if you are not careful, you will be delayed by such a dense 20,000 troops.

If you take into account the hatred of these Vietnamese Chinese who have lost their territory towards the Kira family, then this tactic is likely to evolve into a sea of people tactics similar to the vast ocean, and people who are familiar with the terrain can drag the southbound Kira army as long as they harass along the way, even if Uesugi Masahu Shenwei swept away thousands of troops, but his sweep will eliminate all the tactical suddenness of the main force going south, and at that time, Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao can calmly turn around and cross the river to form a strict army, and the good end of the raid battle will become an encounter battle.

September 9th Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Autumn Departure Festival, Kaga, who does not understand the elegance of the style, has always been a puff out of the camp on the morning of the same day, a large area of 80,000 troops came to the Qianguang Temple ferry to cross the river, and it took nearly a morning of effort to send the 80,000 troops over more than half, when there were still 30,000 troops left on the west bank of Zhuangchuan, suddenly crossed the river and stopped, and the remaining 30,000 troops camped on the other side of the river in Zhuangchuan.

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao always felt a little panicked in his heart, although he was a person in Buddhism, he was not a monk who was proficient in Buddhist scriptures, but a martial artist who had never believed in fate, the reason why he stayed was ridiculous to say was to try to feel at ease, and he muttered a few words of Buddha in his heart: "50,000 people can capture Zengshan City to 80,000 is a waste, if 50,000 people can't capture Zengshan City to 80,000 is meaningless." ”

His move frightened some people, and the samurai of the Jimboh family sentry hurriedly ran back to the Tohokan and reported: "Kaga has always crossed the river with only 50,000 troops, and the 30,000-strong army led by Chaoshengji Miteru has not yet crossed the river, but chooses to camp on the west bank of the Zhuangchuan River and stand still." ”

Shui Yue asked nervously, "What is he doing here?" Do you smell something? Will it be bad for us? ”

The chief of the divine protection was also very nervous, but he couldn't say anything frustrating, and reluctantly smiled and comforted: "It shouldn't be, if the Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao knows about our plan, he will either take the army straight to the Dongbao Pavilion, or recruit his family into the main camp and detain it, and our plan will naturally be self-defeating." ”

It is understandable that the retainers of the Jiho family suspect the abnormal performance of the Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao, and the matter of their own collusion with Uesugi Masatori is a fatal thing, once the Chao Sheng Temple Mi Zhao finds that something is wrong, this is a major event that will kill people, and they are really not sure how much the Kira family can support them, if they abandon their own family, it will not be a big loss.

What's worse is still to come, Sugiura Genren led an army of 20,000 to Yuancheng Temple to set up a main formation, Guanglin Temple Xiu Yuan, Anyang Temple Ryitonjun, and Benxiang Temple Zhun Yuki each led a 10,000-person army to stay in Yuancheng Temple, and only his own 20,000 troops launched an attack on Masuyama Castle, this arrangement made the Jimbo chief very confused.

Sugiura Genren's 20,000 troops did not cause much trouble to the 10,000 defenders in Masuyama Castle, and attacked again and again again and again before the attack took five or six rounds of attack in the evening and killed and wounded less than 600 people, and then Sugiura Genren took the army swaggering to withdraw from the temple to rest, when the chief of the god thought that today's war was about to end, the temple poured out 30,000 troops to attack Zengshan Castle, this time it was Koryinji Xiu Chen, Anyang Temple Ryo Jun, and Honxiang Temple Junyuki three people joined forces to besiege Zengshan Castle.

Although the military strategy level of these three people is not worth mentioning at all, but this wheel tactic still exerts tremendous pressure on the defenders in Zengshan City, as the afterglow of the evening comes, the main force of the army begins to descend the mountain, leaving part of the army to raise torches and continue to attack the city unhurriedly, and the fight is not fierce is to shoot a few waves of arrows outside the city to harass the defenders in the city, and even give time to eat, this war of attrition did not gradually retreat until the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, Sugiura Xuanren took less than 20,000 troops to kill Zengshan Castle, and the chief of the god protection understood their tactics and said secretly: "A good wheel tactic plus a tired strategy, fighting from dawn to midnight and three watches, if you change the guard, you will collapse if you can't hold out for two days!" ”

This set of wheel warfare and fatigue skills is obviously much more sophisticated than that of Guangtokuji Chengxian, but there is always a huge danger in doing so, and a faint smile appeared on the face of the chief of the divine protection: "Isn't this just the appetite of the main hall of Uesugi Dan?"
