In the late July of the twelfth year of Eiroku, the rain gradually stopped, this is the most brilliant time of midsummer, located at the confluence of the main stream of the Yodo River, Yodo Castle, which was once used as a castle to imprison the last ruler of the Hosokawa clan, and at this moment it was guarded by the western general Mori Terumoto, and the negative impact of the western army retreating without a fight on their morale was eliminated, and the eastern army poured in like a tidal wave, making the people of Gyeonggi realize the fact that the Kamakura samurai were coming again.

Kamakura samurai, a name that symbolizes glory, the Shokushi Rebellion spread the prestige of the Kamakura samurai to the four poles and eight wildernesses, without the brave and fierce Kamakura samurai to shock the imperial court, there will be no various royal families scattered in all directions for a country, such as the Shimazu clan, the Otomo clan, the Shaoyi clan, the Mori clan, etc.

At this moment, a mysterious team came to Yodo Castle, led by two samurai who took off their hoods, one of them showed an angular face with a beard and beard, while the other was a neatly trimmed mustache and a pair of eyes like a falcon, and the two middle-aged samurai opened the package and took out a flag, which was the family crest of the Maori family with three words.

The Maori samurai shuddered and stared at the strange samurai with their Tokoku style hair bunchs, and hesitated, "You are ......"

The bearded samurai said, "The Hojo Mori clan, the Mori Left Shogun Taka Hiroshi." ”

Another eight-character Hu warrior also followed: "Yasuda Maori clan, Maori Yuezhong Shou Jingyuan." ”

Hojo Takahiro pointed to a young man behind him and said, "This is my Takahiro's son-in-law, the Suruga Shogun. This is the young assistant and the chief assistant of the Hanhe River Ministry. and his son-in-law's adopted son, Hanhejiang Gaoji. This samurai is from the Dewa Yoshikawa clan and the Kankawa clan. ”

Yoshikawa Motoharu stared at the young man named Yoshikawa Takaki carefully for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Is this a clan gathering?" ”

"It's a clan gathering!" Yasuda Jingyuan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the ancestor of Fukuhara Sadakunden is also a member of the Nagai clan of Dewa Country, Yonezawa Castle of Dewa Country Zhizhi County, which was originally built by Nagai Sai Aden, and the Nagai Clan's Western Kingdom was renamed Fukuhara Clan, so the contact has become increasingly rare. ”

It is well known that the Mori clan originated from the Oe clan, and the ancestor was the famous Kamakura shogunate's first political office, Besemai Hiromoto, and the Oe clan's various lineages began with the Oshu Expedition in the fifth year of Bunji (1189). Minamoto Yoritomo returned from the victory of the defeat against Oshu and rewarded him with merit and deeds, and gave Hanhe Jiangzhuang and Nagai Village of Dewa Province to Oe Hiromoto as a reward, which was to give the county to Murayama County a vast territory.

Later, Oe Hiromoto's son-in-law Oe Qinhiro got the name of a leading family, and the descendant who passed down was the Hanhe Jiang clan, and another powerful sect of the Oe clan was also a talented Nagai clan, and it was rumored that the compiler of "Azuma Mirror" Nagai Munehide was a member of the Kamakura shogunate, and this family was replaced by the clan after the decline of the Hanhee clan, a leading family, and became the new descendant of the clan instead of the clan.

Of course, this is all a confused account, the Anyu Maori family has risen since the Maori Yuan era, and the Fukuhara clan, the descendant of the Nagai clan, has become a retainer of the Maori family, and in turn, no one cares about whether the Hanhe Jiang clan is the leader of the Ori clan. It's still Nagai's, as long as the flag of one word and three stars remains unchanged. The bloodline relationship has not changed.

"The left near general prison hall is the Hojo Mori clan, and the main family is the Nanjo Mori clan, the ancestors are related to the same lineage, but unfortunately they have been lost ......for many years," Yoshikawa Motoharu exposed his thoughts in a slightly perfunctory tone, Anyu Mori is also known as Nanjo Mori, and Echigo Mori is called Hojo Mori, which is not too secretive.

In the early days of Kamakura, the Miura clan set off a rebellion, Maori Ji Ku supported the Miura clan and defeated the Baoji battle, several sons scattered like stars in all directions for hundreds of years without contact, at this time suddenly a poor relative appeared, a group of relatives in their own ravine all recruited, and also brought a pair of three-star flags with a word, the first reaction must be that this group of poor relatives is not here to rub the benefits.

Hojo Takahiro's eyes rolled, and he immediately laughed: "My Hojo Mori clan is not very good in Echigo, and it is not as good as Nanjo Mori in Anyu, and it is not majestic to sweep the inner part of the country, and I am also a samurai who wants to be faced, and I have never thought of getting the glory of your hard work." ”

"Huh...... I didn't mean to wait. Kobayakawa Takashi hurriedly covered up the past, and was sarcastically ridiculed by others, but it seemed that his strength was a little small, but no matter how generous he was, the estrangement between the two sides was still there.

Relatives who haven't been in contact for three hundred years are really nothing, except for the common ancestor and Miao characters, family crest flags, there is no common language left, all the Western samurai shave the hair bun of the moon head, and the Eastern samurai all comb a cupola bun, the difference between the two is very big, the Western accent and the Eastern accent are also incompatible, and the conversation between the two sides is very unpleasant.

Yasuda Jingyuan observed for a while, and judging from the tone and demeanor of the generals of the Maori family, the status of the young governor of Maori Teruyuan was very high, so he said: "Mutsu Shoudian Rongma has extraordinary martial arts in his life, and he personally founded the hegemony of the Western Kingdom of the Anyi Maori clan, which can be called the heroes of the world!" Admired by our Maori clan, but the general trend of the world is not yesterday, the Anyun Maori clan has reached a critical juncture, and the final choice should be made, whether it is to follow the trend or go against the trend, all in the stable hall. ”

Mori Terugen opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by his uncle Kobayakawa Takakei, who closed his mouth when he shook his head lightly at him, Kobayakawa Takakei asked with a smile: "I don't know what is homeopathic and what is contrarian?" ”

"Homeopathic people like waves of rivers rushing down, can go thousands of miles away in an instant without half a cent of effort, the contrarian people support the paddle so that it is very difficult to take one of them, a little careless boat destruction before the death of the work is also abandoned!" Yasuda Jingyuan said slowly: "The general trend of the world today is not the chaotic and unknown situation of decades ago, the right general hall in Kamakura raised a volunteer army to rebel, and ordered the world with the pillars of the source family, and the servants of the imperial family of the eastern country are like clouds, on the other hand, the lord of the western army is to kill his brother and mother, and depose the emperor. ”

Kobayakawa Takakei showed such an expression, and said with a faint smile: "Zhujun turned out to be a lobbyist sent by the right general!" The hard-working gentlemen have come from afar, so it's better to eat first and then ......"

Hojo Takahiro laughed and said, "The rumors in the market are all rumors in the stable hall that the Kamakura samurai is here. The Kamakura samurai are our royal family. My Dajiang clan is the royal family. It was, it is, and it will be! ”

"After the Shokushi Rebellion, the Kamakura samurai returned to Kyoto...... Kamakura samurai, a nostalgic name! Mori Terumoto quietly clenched his fists, suddenly raised his head and looked at Hojo Takahiro firmly, and said, "Take out the conditions you have prepared!" ”

Yoshikawa Motoharu was surprised: "Young hall ......"

"The stable hall is very good! Very good! Hojo Takahiro said, "The choice given by the Lord to the Mori family is Izumo and Iwami to ...... An."

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! My Maori family crisscrosses the western country. Exterminate the Ouchi clan and the Nizi clan, and subdue the martial artists of the Western Kingdom, how can you easily reduce the seal with a word! Yoshikawa Motoharu couldn't bear to jump up, and the Maori samurai present had blue tendons on their foreheads one by one, obviously not allowing their hegemony to be lost.

"I Dao you will have some surprises here, it turns out that you still want to take my Maori family's territory!" Kobayakawa Takashi sneered: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, my Maori family's territory can't be less, and it's absolutely impossible to reduce the seal!" ”

Yasuda Jingyuan smiled: "Don't say it too early, the territory of the Yasukawa family did not fall from the sky, and it did not go down." Without conspiracy and intrigues, how could there be the prosperity of the Anyun Maori family today, but the monarchs never thought about it. After all, this world is the world of the source family, even if the Maori family has a temporary momentum, how can it be compared with the pillars of my source family, although the snake swallows the elephant is good, but it also has a good appetite, the pattern is not enough to force the West to eat, eat half of the indigestion and then spit it out will be more than worth the loss. ”

"It's just rhetoric." Kobayakawa Takakei made up his mind that if he didn't listen, he wouldn't help me.

Mori Terumoto's expression also became very unhappy, the Mori family occupied the Ouchi family's Ryuxing land Zhou Defense Nagato, and eliminated the Niko family to capture Iwami and Izumo, and the two countries in the reserve were also basically in the bag, Urakami Munekei was in the Bizen country for a long time, and then to the west, he could extend his tentacles to Inaba Boqi and other countries, not as good as Oda Nobunaga, but in the western country, this is already a famous powerhouse.

I thought that these poor relatives of the Maori family came all the way from the east country to just talk about the old and rub some benefits and other things, but I didn't want these people to still carry Genyishi's secret order and make such a harsh request, leaving only An Yun and Iwami, and only one-third of the power was declining, which was too unacceptable.

"The princes of Anyun Maori don't seem to be very happy!" Hojo Takahiro pinched his chin thoughtfully, and was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "The lord also explained, if the Anyun Maori family thinks it is not appropriate, it is also possible to transfer the seal to a large country to guarantee 300,000 stone Andu, it seems that this article is probably unacceptable, right?" ”

"Humph! It would be good for the prison hall to know. Fukuhara Sadatoshi was dissatisfied: "It's better to say less like this, so as not to spoil the feelings of the same clan." ”

Hojo Takahiro grinned: "But I, Takahiro, still want to say that the Lord has another decree, if the Azumi Maori family does not want to obey, then the pain of defeat and slaughter will be inevitable when the swords and soldiers meet, and the misfortune of the change led by the Anyun Maori family is also inevitable, and the original leaders of Anyun and Iwami will give me four as a reward, and I will thank the Anyun Maori family for their generosity in advance, thank you!" ”

The Maori genealogy generation was frightened and asked in horror, "What do you mean by what you just said?" ”

Yasuda Jingyuan said: "You must have understood! There are only two ways for the Azumi Maori family to choose, one is to accept the two countries' security blockade, and its World War II defeat and change will be confiscated, and the two countries will receive the four families of Hojo Maori, Yasuda Maori, Hanhejiang, and Naba, which is the Lord's request. ”

"Bastard!" Yoshikawa Motoharu said angrily: "What is the reason for you to be so domineering, why do you have to listen to your Eastern Army!" ”

Hojo Takahiro laughed three times, and said with a calm gaze: "Why? With the lord being the pillar of the Yuan family, relying on the lord being the two right generals of the source, with the domination of half of Japan, the stone height of 10 million stones, and the more than 200,000 tigers of our Eastern Army, do you dare to disobey? ”

said that he would turn his face, and the frightened Maori Huiyuan was at a loss and said: "You ......"

Na Bo Rongzong said with a smile: "Tell you the truth, the will of the Lord cannot be violated, if the Western Army does not obey, it will be changed, and if it dares to resist, it will be wiped out!" It's a pity to destroy your Anyu Maori clan, the Oe Maori clan still has my Hojo Maori and Yasuda Maori, even if the Maori family is ruined, there is still the Oe family to make up for it. Don't you know that today's people of insight are rushing to be my source family. You Anyun Maori family is unwilling, but someone is willing!

Do you think that the orders of the pillars of the Yuan family are like child's play? If you think so, you are wrong! Late Genpei period. The two right generals of the source, Lai Chaogong, wiped out the Shangsu clan of the Shotsu clan, the clan of the source of Yoshijing, the clan of the source of the experts, and the Ashikaga Tadasuna clan, the descendant of Fujiwara Hidego, never relented, and waited for the temple to sweep away the Nitta clan, and the Nanmu clan was not merciful, so it was the case then, and it can be the same today! ”

At this time, the face of the Maori family changed. At this moment, Maori Terumoto realized that these people were not here to negotiate at all, but swaggered over and told them that it was not too late to rein in the precipice, if you don't believe in evil, you have to see the coffin and not cry, then try it yourself, what Minamoto Yoritomo and Ashikaga Zunshi have done, Genyoshi doesn't mind doing it again, wishful thinking that the pillars of the Gen family are easy to deal with, just like the Ashikaga Shogun's family who is easy to bully, but it is a big mistake.

Mori Terumoto closed his eyes and thought quietly, and every samurai present looked at the main commander worriedly. He was the head of the five horses at the imperial court, and he was the heir to the governor of the Maori family. On the march, he was the general of the 20,000 soldiers of the Maori army, and his words and deeds had great influence, which was difficult for Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei to match.

After being silent for a long time, the young young family governor said, "Let me think about it later......"

"Then I'll take my leave first." Hojo Takahiro got up and retreated, just walked a few steps and earned it back and said: "I forgot to remind you, An Yunshi only receives the income from the grain and vegetables that are planted, and fishing at sea must be done in accordance with the law, and the castle town pays taxes to the lord of the country, but the mines are not counted, all the mines in the eastern country are owned by the Minamoto family, and there will be no exceptions to this non-negotiable, I hope the princes of the Yasuki Maori family will not think too much...... That's it, farewell! ”

……

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, when the sun shines on the land after the rain, and the region enters the autumn harvest season, you can see farmers bending over to work everywhere from Echizen to Kii busy harvesting grain, but this year's situation is different than in previous years, in the past, there were always groups of samurai who went down to the fields to collect grain, take stock of the proceeds and collect the annual tribute, but this year these people are all gone, because the Kamakura samurai came.

After a lapse of 350 years, the Kamakura samurai came to the heartland of Gyeonggi again, and the 200,000 troops from south to north were like a black wall across Gyeonggi, Oda Nobunaga's chest was stuffy, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was worried and indignant, and the main force of the eastern army had touched the edge of Yamashiro Province, and the newly acquired Sakamoto was in danger, and the people in Gyeonggi were panicked, and the ministers were also in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

Oda Nobunaga has always been unable to sleep well lately, tossing and turning in long nights and unable to sleep peacefully, two meals a day has been reduced to one meal a day, seeing that he is getting thinner and weaker, Genyoshi is like a boulder pressing on his heart, and the feeling like a fish in his throat makes him die and come back to life uncomfortably.

Worrying about the defeat of the war ahead has made him very painful, and what is worse is that he has to be called by Ashikaga Yoshiaki every day to be an emotional garbage can, and endure the disgust in his heart to listen to the guy called "Mad General" and "Evil Princess" spitting, complaining about this and complaining about the bad work of the angry family, in short, it is all the fault of others, it is all the fault of the world, and he himself is right.

After coming out of the Nijo Imperial Palace, I was invited to the Imperial Palace of Nijo Haruma.,Participate in the tea party song party and continue to listen to the chatter of a group of ministers.,Learn various questioning and speaking skills.,For example, there are many new postures such as asking the same question in twenty-eight ways.,Not only do you have to bother answering.,You also have to accompany the tea and make songs.,The head is a little insufficient.。

He was very angry and angry, the title of deputy shogun and the three senators and the like looked wonderful, and it really made him in it more painful than killing him, so all the meetings between the shogunate and the imperial court were rejected by him, and he didn't care about the evaluation of him, as long as his ears were quiet.

I finally got a good night's sleep, and when I woke up, I saw my favorite little surname Hori Hidemasa coming in to freshen up for him, and then asked, "Where is the military strength of the Asakura Jingo Palace?" ”

"Yesterday evening, Asakura Jinguden left Mt. Hiei and moved to Shogunyama Castle last night to station." The red-lip-toothed, white-toothed, handsome Hidemasa Hori is deeply loved by him, and the love of all people is the proudest part of Oda Nobunaga's many hobbies, and he still prefers men to love women, especially young and beautiful boys, such as Hidemasa Hori, who is only sixteen years old in front of him, and Chiyo Maeda, the old love of the past.

Oda Nobunaga smiled bitterly: "Is Sakamoto really going to be abandoned?" What a failed decision! ”

Uesugi Kenshin's momentum is irresistible, and it is difficult to get benefits for Asakura Yoshikage to lead the army to withdraw to Echizen Province, but to bury the last bit of living power Seven Seven Eight Eight, Asakura Family Powerful Gen Maoba Keitsugu, Yamazaki Yoshiie, Uzumi Keigu successively led the army to cut in, so that the Asakura army main formation was shaken, these three are Numata Mikane's sons-in-law, as early as ten years ago by the old father-in-law to move the secret Kanto General's Mansion.

Worse is still to come, as an ally of the Wakasa Takeda army suddenly rioted, Muto Shunhide teamed up with Numata Toonaga, Awaya Katsuhisa, Itami Shotsune and many Wakasa people to set off a rebellion, and suddenly counterattacked Takeda Yoshitomi's main camp, resulting in the complete paralysis and collapse of the Wakasa Takeda army, Takeda Yoshitomi and his brother Takeda Nobukata died in the chaos of the army, this series of dazzling changes disrupted the front of the Asakura army, causing the scrambling Asakura Yoshikyo to make a decision that he regretted for life and retreated.
