A new change is also taking place in another place far away in Kai, and after receiving the assurance of the medical expert Mori Kose, the Kira family's ninja army instigated an ambush in the Kai country to contact Nagata Tokumoto, and it happened that he took the medicine boy out to collect medicine, saving the trouble of taking the old doctor out of the Kushizaki Pavilion.

After a search that took five or six days, he finally found this old doctor walking in the Kai Mountains in a certain mountain range in the county, and learned of the letter from his nephew and the invitation of the Kira family, Nagata Tokumoto was still a little hesitant to refuse, and the ninja of the Kira family pretended to be a messenger and quietly told him that this matter was related to the great cause of the shogunate and the great matter of saving thousands of civilians, so he must go to Echigo anyway.

As for the Takeda family, there is a boy who can send a letter to Dr. Takeda Daizen, and as for some of the medical supplies he usually uses, books, medicinal herbs, and seeds have already been packed up for him, and they will soon be transferred to Echigo, and the two medicine boys he took with him embarked on the road to Echigo.

Nagata Tokumoto was finally moved, from Shinshu Pass into Saku-gun and then transferred to Nishi-Ueno, through Mikuni Pass in Yuzawa by boat through the Uono River such as the Shinano River, taking the same path as Kira Yoshitoki to return to Kasuga Yamashiro, and when Takeda Harunobu learned that his imperial physician was missing, it was already half a month later, Takeda Harunobu was almost angry, and he dug the corner of Echigo without seeing results, but was poached by Echigo in the blink of an eye, and the deal was a big loss.

He immediately called the leaders of the Penetrating Hole and reprimanded them for accidentally letting go of the important doctor, meaning that you are so disrespectful to the health of me, the governor, for his health? The samurai who penetrated were embarrassed one by one, and vowed to give Echigo a good-looking one. Of course, this kind of cruel talk is usually not credible. Harunobu Takeda was the first to disbelieve it.

In the busy spring mountain town, time passed unconsciously. Long-tailed Jinghu's condition gradually stabilized, and after the initial treatment, Echigo Zhilong couldn't wait to hold another assessment meeting, looking at Long-tailed Jinghu sitting on a four-wheeled cart with a normal expression, and the long-tailed retainers also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next issue was a headache, the lord's order was unquestionably firm, and surprisingly, Minoru Honjo, Nagao Keishino, Nagao Masaki, Nagao Fujikei and other sects, and generations expressed their support for the will of the lord, and the approval rate of this side surprised many people. The wealthy clans, who had been conspiring to resist this order in private, had to be dumbfounded.

But the long-tailed Jinghu still came up with a new idea, and said word by word: "Tiger Ji...... Inexperienced...... Righteous time! You have to ...... Acting on behalf of ...... The duty of the lord of the country! ”

"I know when I am righteous, there is no excuse for acting for the country, and the rebellion will be left to me to solve!" Kira Yoshitoki had long expected that Nagao Jinghu would never back down because of a little difficulty, and he promised Kira Yoshitoki to do his best to cooperate with the treatment, but Echigo's situation would definitely not be able to control the situation without Kira Yoshitoki's cooperation, so he readily agreed.

He also found that the long-tailed Jinghu was in a very good state, and he could talk intermittently, and it seemed that his condition was really not very serious, and the tiger Ji who was sitting on the side looked at his brother at a loss and smiled at him. The little tension in my heart disappeared.

"Tiger Queen! Sit down! Kira Yoshitoki took Tiger Ji's cold little hand and slowly walked to the position belonging to the lord of the country and sat down, Nagatail Jinghu smiled and nodded at the two of them. Let Biwajima Yashiro push the four-wheeled cart and leave slowly, there are more treatments waiting for him to do, the most important thing in the doctor's order is to think less and worry less, which is also the fundamental reason why he can't wait to hand over the position of head of the country.

With Yoshiro Yoshiro, the famous shogunate in charge, war is no longer a problem, and Echigo's development is not a problem, and Nagao Keitora can also accept the next comprehensive treatment with peace of mind.

Kira Yoshitoki and Toraki watched their brother gradually move away, and after a while, they said, "The next step will be to fight Hojo Castle!" What you should do is to immediately return to the territory and organize an army to resist the rebels. ”

"Dare to ask Wuweidian, who is the first to serve?" Gan Liang Jingzhi also asked the voice of many people, the samurai are most concerned about the first formation, the first is the easiest to make meritorious contributions, and great achievements must be rewarded, and the samurai rely on the reward to expand their influence.

However, Kira Yoshitoki had other ideas, so he said solemnly: "Considering that it is obviously too late for the princes to convene the military service, it is obviously too late for the Kira family to go out to Hojo Castle this time, and take advantage of this opportunity to recruit troops to sweep away the nearby rebels and wild ambushes, please be sure to ensure that the streets and ports are controlled by your own hands, and be careful of the invasion of troops outside Echigo." ”

"I'll get it!" Although they were very unwilling, the current situation really did not allow them to return to the territory to slowly mobilize for military service, so they could only nod bitterly.

At the same time that the Echigo people returned to their territories, what happened in Kasugayama Castle soon spread throughout Echigo, and I heard that Nagao Keihu was bedridden due to wind disease, Hojo Takahiro's first reaction was to be overjoyed, and Nagao Tiger Hime as the lord of the country, and Kira Yoshitoki as the acting lord of the country was completely nonsense, Echigo must have been messed up by being so messed up, and he excitedly summoned his retainers to announce the news.

"We are right to rebel! Nagao Keiho has become a wasted person, and Minoru Honjo and Nagao Keishin actually fainted and let those two children be the lord of the country together! Can you think of it? Hahaha! ”

Hojo Takahiro picked up his glass and raised his head to drink, he didn't have the amount of alcohol like Nagao Jinghu, he usually didn't touch the drink, only on this very happy occasion would he take out the wine and drink a few glasses, because this time it was not a rebellion, they had the support of Echigo, Dewa, Mutsu, and even Shinano.

"I heard that the Great Bear Danhou is also going to launch an attack from Vietnam, so it will be besieged from all sides!" Hojo Takatsu is the younger brother of Hojo Takahiro, and when Hojo Takahiro is away, he assists in the government affairs of Hojo Ryo.

"According to Honjo Echizen Mamo, the people of Shimotsu have promised us that as long as they don't trespass on their territory, they won't oppose us!" Hojo Takamasa is the youngest of the three Hojo brothers, only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and has been staying in Hojo Castle to study government affairs with his two brothers.

The Echizen Mamoru he mentioned was the name of Honjo's prosperous head, and the same Echizen Mamoru was Nakajo Fujishi and Nagao Masaki, and it was common for a famous person to use an official position at the same time within a country. For example, the Takeda family has three bullets of Zhengzhong. It is made to attack the bullet, escape the bullet, and the gun bullet respectively. Nine out of ten of these people are self-proclaimed official positions, and the rest are all guardian daimyos, or famous nobles, and it is obvious that Echigo is not eligible to enjoy the official position of the imperial court except for Nagao Jinghu.

"I think the lord should be careful, things are going too well." Hojo Yoshihiro is the uncle of their three brothers, one is an old man in his fifties, and when he was young, he also followed the father of the three brothers, Hojo Takada, to fight for Nagao Weijing, of course, knowing that the strength of the Echigo Nagao family is extraordinary.

"Uncle is too careful!" Hojo Takamasa laughed insolently. As if laughing at his uncle's timid mentality, when he made the decision to rebel, Hojo Yoshihiro, who was sitting in Nanjo Castle, opposed it with all his might, which made the three brothers very dissatisfied, and now he learned that Nagao Jinghu was seriously ill and still didn't dare to do it, which made him feel contempt from the bottom of his heart.

Hojo Yoshihiro looked at the disapproving expressions of the three brothers, and could only sigh: "It's better to be cautious!" ”

Hojo Takahiro decided to attack a few inconsequential castles in order to test the will of the Echigo people to resist, and the success of several attacks gave him great confidence, and then rejected Oda Kiritan's plan to join forces. He alone led the 1,000 troops of Hojo and Nanjo to attack Kashiwazakiminato, an important town in Central Vietnam.

This time, he quickly suffered a defeat and was defeated by the mayor of Sanjo Castle at the same time. Tochio Castle Honjo Minori, and Sakajo Naoe Mitsuna's joint attack, in the face of the three-sided attack of the three families and two thousand troops, quietly returned to the territory of Honjo Minoru took the lead in rushing into the Hojo phalanx, so that this light and unprepared army collapsed on the spot, Hojo Takahiro saw that he couldn't do anything, and fled with his cronies in this camp without even showing his head.

A farce-like defeat caused the Hojo family to lose hundreds of people, and Hojo Takahiro could only take his retainers to retract back to Hojo Castle to fight the trapped beasts.

Of course, he fled back and was not idle, while writing to his own Yasuda Keigen to persuade him to rebel together, and at the same time writing to Kai's Takeda Harunobu, asking him to immediately send troops to Kitashinano all the way to Kasuga Mountain Castle to carve up Echigo, and on the other hand, he contacted Honjo Fancho and conspired to divide Echigo's great cause, he was really full of confidence, and he could plan Echigo's great cause with peace of mind just after a defeat, which was really the rhythm of death.

Takeda Harunobu is very troubled, a bunch of retainers are making a lot of noise, post-disaster reconstruction and general service are still tangled problems, each family is unwilling to share the general service of other families, but the entire Kai is less than 200,000 people in total, counting the miners and slaves who plundered Shinano, it is only 220,000 people, where to find other people to share the general service? The two sides still have to discuss and work together, this is the reason for his headache, several factions are entangled and quarrel with each other, he does not have his father's ruthlessness and courage, he can only grit his teeth and endure.

By the time he received the news of Echigo's rebellion, it was already more than half a month later, and he didn't have the heart to send troops to North Shinano to divide Echigo, it was all nonsense, and Echigo was difficult to bite when he didn't know? As soon as I looked at this letter, I knew that Hojo Takahiro's strategic level was also the scum level, and in his and Gao Baizhai's plan, there was no plan to send troops to Echigo this year, so this letter was burned directly.

This farce did not affect the fermentation of the Nagao family's turmoil, not only did the whole of Echigo learn the news that the lord of the country was seriously ill and could not take care of things, Shinano, Dewa, Aizu, Ueno, Echichu, and Kai all got the news one after another, and some people began to think carefully about the damage, especially at the moment when the Echigo rebellion broke out.

"I didn't expect that after a few months, I would be back again!"

Standing in front of the Kin-Ignori Clan, Okuma Chaoxiu raised his eyebrows for a while, followed by five hundred Jimbo troops, which was the largest force that the Jimbo family could provide under the control of the Shiina family, and he firmly believed that as long as he had these troops, he could kill back to Echigo and take revenge on Nagao Keitora and Honjo Minoru.

Da Xiong Chaoxiu said viciously: "Everything you owe me must be taken back!" ”

"Bizenden, we can go!" Cheng Zhengzi is full of armor and body, a high-spirited look is simply mighty, once upon a time his city clan is also a famous family in the Bandong Baping clan, the prestige of the plate in front of the palace is not inferior to the Ba Yuqian, in the Genhei era was called "Ba Ban E", but also the most powerful Ji samurai representative of the year.

"Good! Let's go! Target Kasuga Mountain Castle! ”

……

Kasuga Mountain Castle, Kira Yoshitoki and Toraki withdrew from the castle tower, Nagao Keitora has just received today's treatment and is resting, and Mr. Sixteen's medical skills are indeed impeccable. It only takes a few days to develop a plan for medical rehabilitation. Compared to the crude plan of Mori Kotose. I don't know how much more professional this plan is.

Including accompanying psychological counseling, medicine stone treatment, massage and acupuncture physiotherapy and other means are used, and the speed of recovery has been significantly improved in a few days, and now Nagao Jinghu's hands can move without hindrance, and now he can sit up, according to the prediction of Ko Naase Morima, he will be able to eat by himself in the next month. This recovery speed can only be described as fast.

At this time, it was almost late at night, the two walked hand in hand in the silent corridor, the bright moonlight fell on Hu Ji's face, as if wrapped in a layer of silver light on her fair skin, grabbed the unbearable willow waist, and kissed her lightly on her smooth forehead: "The city will be handed over to you, the master will take a thousand people to sit in Naoejin to assist you, my brother's recovery is very good, and I can also rest assured that I can go out of battle." ”

With a red face, Torhime took out a white sachet from her underwear, embroidered with pink cherry blossom petals. The girl squirmed and handed it over: "This is the sachet that Tiger Ji learned to make, and there is a strand of Tiger Ji's hair in it!" ”

"Oh! That's great! "Take the girl's little sachet. Smelling the rich aroma of spices in the sachet, as well as the familiar body fragrance on the girl's body, looking at her big watery eyes full of worry and expectation, gently brushed away the frowning brows between Tiger Ji's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, I have to eat and sleep on time, be obedient!" ”

"Hmm!" The girl nodded obediently, snuggled into his arms and quietly closed her eyes, enjoying a brief moment of happiness.

The afterglow of the early morning has not yet dissipated, a group of samurai are ready to go, Yamamoto Tokiyuki in military uniform stands outside the big gate to cheer for his colleagues, he has another task and cannot go out with the army, but the 1,000 Omi people are not disappointed, Kira Yoshitoki told them: "New news has been received in the direction of Vietnam, the Great Bear Chaoxiu has a total of 600 cavalry with the Jinbao army, how to eat these people with the smallest possible loss depends on you." ”

"Please rest assured! We must capture the big bear Chaoxiu alive, and the city is Zhengzi! Miyabe Jirun patted his chest and shouted, and the people of Omi behind him were not to be outdone: "You must capture the big bear alive and capture the city alive!" ”

"Then I'm looking forward to your performance, remember not to be careless." Kira Yoshitoki smiled slightly, and then instructed Yamamoto Tokiyuki: "It doesn't matter if you can't catch the big bear Asahide, the loss of the army must be minimized." ”

"With the assistance of Ueno Iesei's 500 troops, it is not a big problem to take down the Great Bear Chaoxiu!" Turning to look at the sun, Tokiyuki Yamamoto said to him, "It's not too early, the owner of the pavilion can go!" ”

The four flag seals danced in the wind, and the long line began to move slowly, there were more than 3,300 people in this team, and there were more than 1,000 people in the army led by the Long Tail Jing Lian, he was not only the leader of the Long Tail Jinghu's direct reserve, but also the brother of the Long Tail Jing Hu, his father Long Tail was the younger brother of Long Tail Jinghu, it can be said that he was the most assured candidate for Long Tail Jinghu.

"In this battle, we will do our best to assist the Wuwei Palace to quell the rebellion." Nagao Keiren is only in his early twenties, of course he knows his weight, as a fierce general, he belongs to the first-class level in Echigo, and the way of battle does not have much to do with personal martial arts, and it is necessary to rely on wisdom, vision and skill, which is what most Echigo samurai, including him, lack.

"Jing Liandian is polite."

Along the way, the two also chatted a few words, the relationship is not as rusty as it used to be, Nagao Keiren is a simple fierce general-type samurai, and it is easy to get along, in fact, Kira Yoshishi didn't bother to talk to him at all, he was thinking about Echigo's plan, and it was the best choice not to take the title of Echigo lord on his head, and he was not willing to owe others morally.

What he owes Ashikaga Yoshiki has already been paid off, and in turn he helped the shogunate recapture Kyoto to stabilize the situation, and now the shogunate owes him, and Nagao Keitora allows him to go down to Echigo, he is owing the Nagao family's affection, and he must not sit on this lord of the country before these feelings are repaid, in essence, he is two different types of people from the thief Saito Michino.

Assessing the rebellion for the Nagao family is the first step, and the land transformation plan for Echigo is the second step, and he is unwilling to give people a handle before doing this, otherwise how will he use his name to order the people in the future, the samurai law formulated by the Kira family, first of all, the governor himself must be an example to strictly abide by, and the subordinates of the retainers will willingly abide by the law you set, this is the truth that people do not stand without faith.

With the end of the autumn harvest, the flood season that flooded a summer also passed, but there were still many difficulties in the march of the Nakaetsu in the river, the ashigaru could only step on the mud on the river beach and trek forward, the shallow river was only seven or eight meters wide, and the deepest was just over the thigh, but no one wanted to cross the river in this season, the carcass worn by Ashigaru was not afraid of wet water, but the clothes inside were not good, the cold and damp water covered the body, and he would definitely get sick at night.

In the underdeveloped transportation of Echigo, such a small river needs to find a way to go around a farther ferry or find a way to cross the river by yourself, and no one usually takes this kind of place, but because you have to rush to take a shortcut, which can make the ashigaru people have a headache, this kind of small river has no boats and can only cut down trees and build bridges by themselves.

When Ashigaru saw the cool river water, he couldn't help but want to scoop water to drink, but the samurai saw it and kicked it over, scolding: "Do you understand the rules!" Huh? Drink this cool river water, do you want to keep up with the team tomorrow! ”

"Don't be stunned and hurry across the river! I'm about to enter the Hojo Collar in front! The echigo samurai shouted to Ashigaru to hurry up, for by this time more than half of the Kira's army of 3,000 had already crossed, and less than a third of their 1,000 men had crossed the river.

At this time, Yoshitomi Kira received new news on the other side of the river: "Oda Kiritan is leading 800 troops to bypass Tochio Castle and march towards Hojo Castle, and the specific movement is unknown. ”

"Who is leading the pack-and-carry team?"

Ben Duo was serving as a military advisor for the first time, and he was still a little nervous, and when he heard the inquiry of the family governor, he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highnesses Mitsui Toraka and Suzuki Shigeji led 300 guards, 500 people, and 200 pack horses. ”

"Hmm."

"Take precautions." Leaving the conversation behind, he continued to ride his horse forward, Hojo Castle was very close to Kasuga Mountain Castle, and in less than half a day, he had already touched the edge of the Hojo Domain, standing on the hillside and looking at the distant mountains, there was a gray fortress standing in the middle of the green forest, that was Hojo Castle.

There was chaos in Hojo Castle, the samurai scolded the people who were preparing for the war, and a team of Ashigaru was also busy preparing arrows for the arrows, and the Otemon Gate was closed, because Hojo Castle was a mountain castle, and there were only a few villages under the mountain, which was not yet as good as a castle town, and he didn't have to worry about what losses would be caused by the war.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hojo Takahiro walked around impatiently, he didn't know how many troops the Nagao family had dispatched this time, and the 1,500 people in his two cities didn't know if it was enough, and the most hateful thing was that the Yasuda family refused to follow him to raise the anti-flag, otherwise with more than 2,000 troops in three cities, they would be horns at all, and they didn't have to be afraid of the Longtail Army at all.

"Brother!" Hojo Takamasa ran over and pulled him and asked, "When will Oda Kirimasa's army arrive?" ”

"How do I know!" Hojo Takahiro scolded: "What are you running around, hurry up and keep an eye on the people, let them steal and play tricks and delay the hour, be careful that I'm not welcome!" ”

Pushing away his younger brother who was in the way, Hojo Takahiro climbed up the stairs to the arrow oar to look at the streets among the mountains, which was the Chuetsu street leading to Hojo Castle and even Kashiwazaki Minato, when he suddenly saw a team of red armor and black armor appear on the field one by one, and the fluttering flag marks were by no means the nine yaoba he was familiar with.

At this time, a large cloud drifted from the sky to obscure the sun, and a haze was born in his heart, and many of the people who were working also saw that strange army, completely different from the crowded ranks of Echigo, their movements were very fast, and those who saw it even noticed that Ashigaru was wearing leather shoes similar to those of samurai.

"That flag is ......"

"Doesn't look like it's the Long Tail family?" At the same time, the samurai of the Hojo family asked in their hearts, vaguely remembering that at the beginning of the year, there was a team of brave cavalry, and it was this kind of banner that walked in the dense forests of the Echigo mountains, could it be that the army was not successful?

When everyone was still hesitating, a group of about 1,000 red cavalry suddenly broke away from the army and began to accelerate, the red cavalry was like flowing blood, bringing up the dust flying wantonly, led by a cavalry general holding a red spear in the lead, and the other holding a big bow in the moment of rushing up the hill with an arrow.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from beside him: "Lord be careful!" (To be continued......)

PS: Yesterday's three more 1.5W, today's 2 more 1.2W, the amount is very sufficient, so cheekily ask for a reward, except for the big reward of Xia Laoyou, there has been no movement for several days, so please support it! =w=
