If all the sailors who stayed behind in Awaji were really sent out, there would be no one left behind on Awaji Oshima, and then not to mention going to the Seto Inland Sea every day to intercept Western merchant ships, that is, whether they could see Osaka Bay would become a problem, once the Mishima navy noticed something unusual, it was likely to raid Awaji Island, and at that time, Awaji would be lost, and the connection between the nest of the Shikoku Miyoshi family and Kinai would be cut off, and the Miyoshi family would become rootless duckweed, and the so-called Kinai hegemony would also become a castle in the air.

"Hmm! It's the family that is busy and dizzy! Then you don't need to send the Awaji Navy anymore, don't go there, go back and continue to be the leader of the Awaji Navy Army, and take care of the Seto Inland Sea, Osaka Bay, and Kumano Sea for your family, go ahead! Miyoshi Changqing's cold tone did not have the warmth and affection just now, and the tone was cold or cold.

This made Anzhai Dongkang very embarrassed, as a member of the public, it was not easy to see Miyoshi Changqing, but he had to leave on the same day, he looked at Miyoshi Yixian a little helplessly, and the latter immediately said: "Why don't you let Dongkang go down and rest for one night?" It's not too early now. ”

"Well, let's rest for the night and take a boat back to Awaji tomorrow!" Miyoshi Changqing nodded, and immediately got up to leave the big tent, without looking at Anzhai Dongkang again from beginning to end.

The ministers of the Miyoshi family got up and came over to comfort Anzhai Dongkang, the reputation of the benevolent general of the Miyoshi family is quite good, and the popularity of the family is very good, so it is not surprising that many people came to comfort him, and even Matsunaga Xiu said with an apologetic face: "His Royal Highness Dongkang has worked hard!" We will persuade the lord in the future, and everything will be all right when the lord is gone! After all, the lord's hegemony is inseparable from His Royal Highness Dongkang, and it is also inseparable from the support of the Awaji Water Army. ”

All this was seen by Miyoshi Yoshixian, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard Matsunaga Xiu's ulterior motives. After hesitating, he still didn't choose to go over to comfort An Zhai Dongkang. Instead, he turned around and hurried out of the tent. Of course, all this can't escape the seemingly casual glance of Matsunaga Xiu, and seeing this scene also makes his smile more and more kind.

"His Royal Highness Dongkang must be tired after being busy for many days, I will arrange a camp for His Highness Dongkang for Jiuxiu!"

An Zhai Dongkang glanced around with some disappointment, and did not find his brother Miyoshi Yoshixian, so he could only barely keep polite and replied: "Then there is His Royal Highness Lao Jiuxiu!" ”

With the end of the Battle of Tenseura, the Miyoshi family's complete encirclement network against Kyoto was completely broken, and both land and water battles were won by the Kira family, and both times they won with less. This made many people begin to spread the saying of "three good nemesis", which of course made it difficult for Miyoshi Changqing to accept.

Rumors in Kyoto say that Miyoshi Nagakei became a big youkai with a blue face and fangs, but this big monster will be defeated by the guardian of the shogunate every time, Kira Yoshitoki, just like Momotaro always defeats the youkai, of course, this is the most primitive version, and soon different versions of the story quickly evolved, and when the news of the end of the Tenseura water battle spread, a new legend immediately spread.

Legend has it that Kira Yoshitoki was the reincarnation of Momotaro, and the five brothers of the Miyoshi family became the reincarnation of the yokai, and the leader of the yokai was Miyoshi Chokei. After discovering that the monster was reincarnated and was going to come to Kyoto to plague the people of Limin, Momotaro also followed the reincarnation to Kyoto to protect everyone. So every time the youkai will be defeated, because good always has to triumph over evil.

It is conceivable how angry Miyoshi Changqing would be when he saw this absurd legend, and it is no wonder that he was angry and threw his face at Ataku Dongkang, but he completely ignored Ataku Dongkang's idea in doing so, casting a shadow on the stability and unity of the Miyoshi family and the positive and enterprising atmosphere.

As the news of the retreat of the Awaji Navy gradually fermented, but in a few days, the form of public opinion in Kyoto began to reverse, from the original panic as if the end was coming, and they could maintain a relatively calm attitude to look at the 25,000 troops across the river, of course, this calmness is limited, they are still very concerned about the movements of the Miyoshi family outside the castle of Katryuji Temple, and of course, the Kira family under Funaoka Mountain.

This expectation was several days, except for when the envoys of the imperial court and the shogunate went to Funaokama to personally comfort Yoshiyoshi Yoshira, the whole of Funaokama was quiet, neither building fortifications nor planning to cross the river to attack the Miyoshi family, as if they were recuperating their energy, and as if they were deliberately giving the Miyoshi family a chance to breathe, in short, there were all kinds of speculations, and no one could tell what Yoshiyoshi Kishitoshi was thinking.

"What do I think?" Kira Yoshishi changed to a comfortable sleeping position, put his head on the legs of Chiyo Mochizuki, and enjoy the service of the stupid Lori to dig out the ears, the ear digging spoon is simple and easy to use, the Central Plains Dynasty had an ear digging spoon very early, and also made ivory digging ear scoops, jade ear digging spoons and other valuable things.

The other nail clippers never appeared, this is what he found Soga Heibei to make out of time, made of good copper according to the principle of levers, and the most similar item to the nail clippers is the tweezers, which also operate in a biting way, but it is not a hassle to add a sharpened blade in front, these two things quickly became one of the small gifts for relatives and friends in Kyoto, and it is said that the royal family of Ouchi also used this novel gadget.

"I'm not stupid, Sanhao Changqing is clearly waiting for me to cross the river, now whoever crosses the river first will die, I won't die, whoever loves to go will go!"

Since the last time he was seen by Mochizuki Chiyo Nu, he asked the maid to dig out his ears.,This stupid Lori took the initiative to take on this difficult task.,I have to say that this stupid Lori still has merit in addition to ninjutsu.,It is said that she will also wash her own clothes.,Cooking.,And proficient in massage techniques.,It's okay to give her a little sprain or something.。

"Then what does the hall owner mean, is it to wait for the work and hit half-way?" Hondo then said to himself, "Your Majesty understands! Thank you, Master, for your teachings! Your Majesty will retire! ”

Looking at the figure who hurriedly walked away, Kira Yoshishi said a little speechlessly: "...... Anyway, I didn't say anything, did I? ”

"Huh? Is Your Highness talking to me? The smooth rhythm of Chiyo Mochizuki's ears was interrupted, she tilted her head and thought about it, then shook her head and said, "Chiyo didn't notice!" ”

"Aren't you a ninja? Attention must be important, right? ”

"In addition to ninjutsu and infiltration, Chiyo Nu has always been very powerful, intelligence, disguise, incitement, assassination, and poison are all unqualified, in the words of her father, Chiyo Nu is hopeless!" The stupid Lori slowly found the rhythm just now. He looks happy shaking his little head.

"I'm rubbing! So much more to learn? Never mind. Don't dwell on these questions! "Close your eyes and enjoy the feeling of being served. After a while, he said, "How did you learn to cook, wash clothes, and massage at such a young age?" I don't know any of these things. ”

"Because my father is very busy, every time I give the training course to Chiyonu, I leave in a hurry, and my uncle is also very busy, and every time I finish guiding Chiyonu's training, I leave, and in the end, Chiyonu can only cook and wash clothes by herself, otherwise she won't be able to live!" Chiyo Mochizuki said as a matter of course: "All female ninjas have to go through this level, but Chiyo is just faster than them!" ”

“…… What kind of animal training method is this, I don't know how it works! "With his normal way of thinking. Obviously unable to keep up with the IQ of the ninjas in the Koga Mountain Nest, unlike their relatives Shinano Mountain Nest in the Mochizuki clan, a large group of very yellow and violent samurai groups in Koga County study how to be yin and how to prevent being yin all day long.

In the civilization year, Rokkaku Takari because of disobedience to the shogunate's orders, privately seized and confiscated the territory of the public, resulting in some of the public being starved to death without food and clothing, so it attracted Ashikaga Yoshisao's shogunate army to crusade, Rokkaku Takari hid in the mountain nest of Koga County to play hide and seek, and sent Koga ninjas led by the Mochizuki clan to attack Ashikaga Yoshisho's main camp at night, resulting in chaos in the Ashikaga army.

Since then. The names of the Koga ninja and the Mochizuki clan spread throughout the sea, and the Mochizuki ninja, who was good at stealth, smoke, and stealth, received the special title of "Shadow Ninja". And the identity of this generation of shadow ninjas is very special, it is a very rare twin brother Mochizuki Yoshito and Mochizuki Yoshinaga.

In the late Muromachi period, the cultural customs that entered the Warring States period were very different from those of the Genpei and Kamakura periods, for example, there were actually two descendants of Kai Genji, the eldest son was Itami Taro, and the second son was Takeda Jiro, Itamitaro Mitsucho was born in the middle of the day, and Takeda Jiro Nobuyoshi was born at noon, which was a typical identical twin, and it was also a sensation in the Genpei era.

In the Warring States period, twins were still subject to a certain taboo, and some superstitious people listened to the scriptures recited by the crooked monks, and regarded one of the twins as the product of demonic possession, so it is not surprising that all kinds of drowning, and the twin brothers of the Mochizuki family did not appear in this situation.

Maybe their father made the younger brother Mochizuki Yoshicho as the shadow of his brother out of waste utilization or spare tire, which also doomed him to live in the shadows for the rest of his life, so he also became the unique shadow ninja of the Mochizuki family, the shadow of the shadow will always cover his face, and outsiders don't know that his appearance is exactly the same as Mochizuki Yoshito.

Only a ninja like Hattori Masakiyo, who also lives under the shadow of his brother Hattori Baochang, will deal with this shadow ninja, although Hattori Masaaki didn't say what the training methods of the Mochizuki ninja are like, just from their experience, performance and the description of Chiyoyo Mochizuki, this is a very perverted family from the inside out, and the ancestor of the Mochizuki family who formulated the family rules must be a psychopathic old monster.

……

The impact of the battle of Tenseura was still a successful effect on the Miyoshi army, Miyoshi Chokei issued a strict order to capture the mountain city within three days, so the brutal battle broke out, tens of thousands of troops from the Otemon, the Tsutemen at the same time launched a fierce attack, there was a strong suppression of the iron cannon to hit the city Hosokawa defenders could not raise their heads, the Miyoshi army used a simple wooden stake as a battering ram to hit the Otemon, and the Hosokawa army used arrows to counterattack.

The battle lasted from early morning to dark, and the Hosokawa army, which had repelled more than 20 waves of attacks, was able to breathe, and the next day the Miyoshi army continued to attack fiercely, this offensive rhythm was very uncomfortable, the Miyoshi family had 25,000 troops in rotation, and there were only 2,000 people in the city, and as the war progressed, there were a large number of casualties on both sides, and the loss ratio of attack and defense was three to one, so there was only a dead end to go on.

The retainers of the Hosokawa family ran to the castle tower and smashed the door, but at this time, the castle tower had been closed for many days, and no one could see the face of Hosokawa Haruko, and in desperation, the samurai of the Hosokawa family could only discuss whether to surrender or not, and as a result, the surrender form delivered outside the castle did not hear back at all.

The Miyoshi family made up their minds to break through the castle of Katsuryuji, and when the losses were not heavy earlier, it was not possible to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, and now the effort of Fei Nuo is about to break through the city, and the Hosokawa army is not interesting or sincere to surrender again, and soon this mountain castle that has stood for many days has finally been breached, and the raging fire at the head of the castle seems to indicate that the sky is about to change in Kinai.

On July 16, Katsuryuji Castle was breached, and most of the 2,000 Hosokawa troops were fighting, and before the Miyoshi army attacked the Honmaru castle tower, Hosokawa Harukei had already burned the castle tower one step earlier, looking at the main castle tower that was blazing with fire, and I don't know how Miyoshi Chokei felt, which also brought new changes to Kyoto, which had been silent for many days.

The Kira army seized a few days of adjustment time to treat and adjust the wounded materials, and the victory in the battle of Tenseura gave the Kira family a rare respite, and the Miyoshi family's vigorous attack was to prepare for the next battle, and both sides knew that this joint battle could not be dragged on, and it was inevitable that there would be a head-on collision in the end.

At this time, Rokkaku Yoshiken had been grinding for a long time before he arrived belatedly with 13,000 Omi troops, and this time he still played his own nature, hiding on Fushimi Momoyama very shrunken, across a confluence of the Kamogawa River and the Katsura River, and confronted the Miyoshi army of Katsuryuji Castle on the west bank of the river.

This also happens to be the place where the Kira army stayed some time ago, and the traces of withdrawal are still drawing gourds and camping in the same way, and it is also very comfortable, regardless of whether the speculator of the Rokkaku family has shrunk, and the addition of this new force has caused some new changes in the situation on the battlefield.

The scheming Miyoshi Changqing immediately ordered Miyoshi Changyi, who stayed in the mountain castle of Akutagawa in Settsu, to lead 5,000 troops to reinforce Shenglongji Castle, he was eight points sure that Rokkaku Yoshiken did not dare to act rashly, compared to his father Rokkaku Dinglai, the governor of the Hexagonal family lacked due responsibility, so Shenglong Temple Castle left Miyoshi Changyi's 5,000 troops, which was enough to contain Rokkaku Yoshiken and did not dare to act rashly, and he could personally lead 25,000 troops to cross the river.

Two days later, in the early morning of July 18, hundreds of boats were dispatched along the river, and the huge crossing of the river gradually began, which was clearly to cross the river in front of the Kira family, and the grand scene that even the townspeople of Kyoto could hear the noise in the distance, which was a show of power and his extreme confidence in himself.
