It is not known what happened to Guangtokuji Chengxian, but as the largest force in Kaga Hebei County, the Guangtokuji family is not the only one who acts as the face of Guangtokuji Temple, and there are seven or eight sects in the family of Guangtokuji Temple, in addition to the reclusive hometown of Guangdeji Temple, there is also Guangtokuji Chengxian's brother Guangtokuji Chengjiao, as well as his younger brother Guangtokuji Chengyi.

"It's just that Guangde Temple and Guangde Temple are not as good-looking as Guangde Temple, and the eyes of the monks who have not been able to enter can only be the leader of the monks in Hebei County, this time Guangde Temple Chengxian died, and most of the flag heads of Hebei County are chosen from the two of them, and the monks should take into account the attitude of the Venerable Master, and it is very likely that they will choose Guangde Temple." Sugiura Genren Kan Kaga Ichikozong's little is very smooth, and he can't see any major flaws in his head.

The Divine Protection Chief shook his head in disbelief: "Is it really dead?" It's incomprehensible! ”

"He's to blame! Obviously he is in his twenties and is old and decrepit, but he occupies the position of the leader of the inner group and is unwilling to let go, relying on the incense that followed the great monks when he was a child to wantonly suppress the young inner people, and also pushed the most important Pranya Temple of the great monks to the stone mountain Honganji Temple to practice, you must know that in the Shishan Hongan Temple, the monks are not necessarily bright, most of them are seen by which powerful people are not willing to return easily, the monks have hit the wall several times and finally annoyed the Guangde Temple Chengxian, so he was thrown down. ”

Shen Bao Changzhi touched his weather-beaten old face, a large handful of messy beards on his dark and thin cheeks, and was a little glad that he was not born like a real person, and muttered: "So it's still a matter of jealousy!" Incomprehensible! I don't love the way for a long time, and it's the first time I've heard that this man can be jealous of each other, it's really incomprehensible! ”

"Hey! Who's to say it isn't! This man can still play with each other. It's really incomprehensible to me! It's just that Guangde Temple has fallen out of favor, and the city is full of wind and rain. Let me, a general who drinks and kills people all day long, also pollute my ears. Huh! Don't mention it! Sugiura Xuanren hummed and said that he was not a gossip man, but in fact, his mouth was enough to gossip.

The assessment will be held as a religious conference by Chaosheng Temple, how to preach in Vietnam, the situation of monks in each county, the number of male believers and female believers, and other messy things are counted, and the local Chinese lords in Yuezhong who listened to it were drowsy one by one, until the rhythm of chanting in the large wide room was suddenly heard, and the crisp sound of the bronze bell struck woke up these Chinese lords in Yuezhong again.

Chaosheng Temple Miteru coughed lightly and said: "The poor monk carefully studied the form of Shimo-Echichu, and there were three important fortresses in the northern Shesui County, such as Shoushan Castle, Guguofu Castle, and Fangshengjin Castle, which fell into the hands of the Kira family. These three fortresses just formed a straight line of defense network, not far from each other, and the transportation was very convenient, so it was the best choice to capture the city.

Unfortunately, there is the dragon of Echigo, Uesugi Masato, sitting there, even if there is only 8,000 troops, it is difficult to deal with, not to mention that the other side of the army has won a huge victory, plundered prisoners, and materials are not counted, if you count the servant army in Shangshui County and the surrendered Vietnamese Chinese army, the total number of troops will most likely exceed 12,000 people. ”

The eyes of the chief of the gods lit up, this Kaga has always been a general who really deserves his name, and he is simply a heaven and an underground than the draft Bao Guangdeji Temple, and the above analysis is very clear and happens to be very similar to his thoughts for many days. It is a great risk to attack the three large castles in Shesui County, and in the north of Shesui County is the Notoyama family and Yasuin Shiina, who went to the rescue. And near the sea, there are reinforcements from the Kira Navy at any time, and if you are not careful, you may be on the road.

It's a pity that the next sentence of the Chaokatsuji Temple is not what he thought: "On the other hand, if we take action against the three fortified castles in Shesui County, then the military strength of Masuyama Castle on the southern front, the forces of Kakizaki Keike and Saito Asanobu who have been hidden in Toyama Castle will also swarm up, and we will be defeated at the foot of Mt. Nigami, just like Sugiura Moriden." ”

The chief of the divine protection patted his head and understood what the problem was, and said in annoyance: "Oops! How I didn't expect this layer! The northward tilt of this formation will inevitably lead to the defenders of Masayama Castle and Toyama Castle to block the back road, and maybe even take Kuwasan Castle in one fell swoop to cut off the passage for us to retreat to Kaga Province, and then our 96,000 troops will be rootless duckweed and face the danger of destruction at any time! ”

Sugiura Xuanren leaned over and asked, "What are you talking about in the Changzhi Palace?" What rootless duckweed? ”

"It's not the right time for us to come! Echigo only sent more than 20,000 troops to easily contain our 96,000 troops, turning passivity into initiative and disadvantage into advantage. The chief of the priesthood sighed, and finally figured out what was wrong.

It stands to reason that the 50,000 troops of the good end entered Yuezhong, even if they can't fight the Shinkawa County to recapture Toyama Castle, they should always be able to get the Masuyama Castle and the release of the first line of Jincheng Castle steadily, and when the time comes, relying on the mountainous terrain advantage of the first line of Zengshan Castle, it is only a moment's work to rush into the plains in the women's negative county, and the Toyama Castle of the Shentongchuan River is most likely to fall into a dilemma, and it is a difficult problem to defend the city or not.

Thinking about this truth, looking back at the strategy of the Kira family is really terrible, but the actual situation is that half of the 50,000 army is defeated and defeated, and the remaining remnants of the army are defeated and lose their morale and have no courage to fight.

The first reaction of Sugiura Genren, who was cut off from the back road and did not choose the road, must be to go south to find his companions, so they can easily kill the defeated army to the bottom of Sangshan Castle, Sugiura Genren's defeated army called the door under the city and the Kotokuji Temple in the city will inevitably open the door to greet him, and then the cavalry of Uesugi Masahu will come out again, if it is not for a storm to disrupt Uesugi Masato's attack plan, maybe something more terrible will happen.

And Uesugi Masatori is now sitting in the release of Shengjin Castle, so that the Jimbo clan Zhang who guards the mountain castle, and the Kazaka Naganomi and Ueno Iesei of the ancient country capital castle each lead two thousand troops to sit in the town, and it seems that the city guarded by these two thousand people is a piece of fat to the mouth, but in fact this is a terrible poisonous bait. Wakaga moved north with an army to besiege the castle. Then it will inevitably fall into the trap of Uesugi Masato Torakyo's new purchase.

His 8,000 troops are like a sharp knife. It will suddenly appear in the place you least imagined, and then deal a fatal blow to the Ichichi army, and Tokiyuki Yamamoto in Masuyama Castle, Kakizaki Keike and Saito Asanobu in Toyama Castle will also appear at the same time, pull open an iron net full of spikes, and start a battle of annihilation against 30,000 against 90,000.

The chief of the divine protection secretly smiled bitterly: "If Uesugi Masahu annihilates 90,000 of us with 30,000 people, this face will really not be saved!" It seems that my military strategy is still much worse than that of Chaokatsuji Temple, and even worse than Uesugi Masato......"

Many monks, officials, and Chinese people in the Daguang room listened attentively to his analysis. A faint smile appeared on the face of Chaosheng Temple: "There is a Uesugi bullet on the northern front, and you must not move lightly, if you don't have absolute certainty, you will inevitably suffer a big defeat, and I have always been a soldier, and now the morale of the army is low, and I can't afford another defeat, and if I lose for a while, the believers in Yuezhong will not be able to protect it!"

Therefore, the opinion of the poor monks is still to focus on the Masuyama Castle on the eastern front, nailing the Masuyama Castle and attacking it fiercely, while several large armies are guarding several fortified castles on the Tonami Plain, if Uesugi Danmasa, Kakizaki Izumi, and Saito Noshu dare to move lightly, they will be resolutely attacked, and they will not suffer a loss by relying on our strong military strength to hold the formation and fight against them! ”

The chief of the divine protection hurriedly leaned over and pandered: "Not bad! Our 96,000 troops are quite a lot! If you recruit some followers from Tonami County, there will be 100,000 people! The Kira army is full of calculations, and the gap between the 30,000 army is still obvious, as long as we defend the city and block them, we will not be afraid of the dragon of Echigo step by step! ”

Sugiura Xuanren followed and coaxed: "That's true, the 100,000 army can get together." Let me go around Tonba County for a few days to keep and arrest five or seven thousand strong men...... Believers! ”

The big room suddenly became lively, and Guanglin Temple Xiu said with a smile: "The problem we have to face is this Zengshan City. Then let's ask the shrine to tell us about the situation in Masuyama Castle! ”

Jimbo Nagashi coughed and said: "Masuyama Castle was built on the mountain area on the east bank of the Wada River, and because the west side is Zengshan Lake, it was named Masuyama Castle, which was originally intended as a branch of Kameyama Castle, because its terrain is dangerous for Kameyama Castle and Sunjiro in the north, and the south is the tortuous Wada River, which is very difficult to cross, so it was rebuilt in the hands of the ancestors to become the residence of the family......"

In fact, he didn't finish the latter words, just because the latter words were really a bit of a slap in the face, and he couldn't tell the old monks of the Kaga Ichijo sect that in fact, our ancestors chose the terrain of the Hota River and Zengshan Lake on the west side, which was actually convenient to resist the invasion that had always been a slap in the face, and he didn't have to think about getting out of Sangshan Castle alive if he said this.

Before the large-scale invasion of Vietnam by the Kira family, the focus of defense in Vietnam and China was never the east, and a chain of defense from Zengsan Castle to Jingba Castle was more to defend against the attack in Tonba County.

Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao nodded and said, "Hmm! Therefore, the opinion of the poor monk is to cross the Wada River from the Echichu Street on the south side, and the ferry port on the Wada River is called the Wishingseiji Ferry, which is the last temple of my Pure Land Shinshu, but it is not known! We waited for the support of the monks of Chengguang Temple to cross the river with the support of the monks of Chengguang Temple, and then attacked Masuyama Castle from the flank, so that we could bypass the strong attack on Kameyama Castle and Sun Jiro's side to the greatest extent. ”

Kaga monks and apprentices, the Vietnamese indigenous people did not have any doubts, Chaosheng Temple Mi Zhao immediately announced a few days of rest, and then chose an auspicious day to send troops to increase the mountain castle, Sugiura Xuanren as a pioneer general led the headquarters of 20,000 troops as the vanguard, and then the monks and monks of the Kaga people assigned their duties one by one, and the Vietnamese Chinese were all assigned secondary tasks such as guarding the city, seeing that they were suffering and suffering by themselves, and the battle achievements were beheaded to the rhythm you take, and the faces of the Chinese were about to pull to the waist of their pants.

After the meeting was over, a monk hugged the handsome little Shami to enjoy, the chief of the god and a group of angry Yue Chinese slowly left Sangshan City, the task assigned to the head of the god was to lead three thousand troops to guard the East Protection Pavilion, his treatment was relatively good, divided into a decent branch city guard, those ordinary people directly assigned to the village to guard the intersections, simply treated them as a miscellaneous military envoy, so that many Yue Chinese who joined the Kaga Ichizong were very annoyed, even the best tempered samurai were inevitably resentful.

A group of Vietnamese Chinese wanted to express their dissatisfaction. But Kaga everywhere has always been a soldier, and he doesn't have a good face for them. After many inquiries, I learned that there was no accommodation for them in this Sangshan City. All the Vietnamese Chinese who have a home go back to their own home, and those who do not go to live in the assigned village, which is simply kicking them away like a stray dog.

There is nowhere to say that he wants to ask for help but eats the closed door, and in desperation, the Shenbao chief only came to the Dongbao Pavilion with his own military strength, and then gathered the scattered Vietnamese Chinese to live in the period, so that the villagers in their hometown could not see death and not be saved, and the Shenbao chief was also very helpless to see that they were all dead fathers and mothers.

He also felt that these monks of the Kaga Ichijo sect were too much, but on the surface, he had to appease a few words: "Kaga Ichikozong is like this." These great monks also acted in much the same way with the officials in their own domains, so there was often a serious confrontation between the officials and the monks in Kaga Province, and Sugiura told the family that the more difficult it was, the more important it was to hold together. ”

The nephew of the god protector, a god god Bao Zhengwu, said angrily: "What do they mean? Do you call us like cattle and horses? That's too much! Hum! ”

"Huh! No way! Who told us to choose this point of no return! It's hard to get out of the sect if you get stuck with it! The chief of the divine protection sighed and said secretly in his heart: "Do you think I want to mess around with these bastards?" It's not forced by the Kira family! ”

Seeing that the chief of the Jimbo was unmoved, Jimbo Kakuhiro couldn't help but shake his head at the young and impulsive Jimbo Masatake, and then said: "Let our famous and well-known samurai go to guard the village, from this attitude, it can be seen that the attention of the Chaosheng Temple Miteru to us is nothing more than that, and His Majesty doubts that they will return Zengshan Castle as scheduled!" ”

Dazhi Zhengxiu opened his mouth wide in disbelief: "Do they really dare to do this? It shouldn't be so shameless, right? Aren't you afraid of provoking the anger of our Chinese? ”

"I think it's very suspenseful! If Chaosheng Temple really remembers our group of Chinese people in Vietnam. You won't put us in this awkward position......" Ushinosuke Terashima said meaningfully, "But that's fine, I finally didn't send us to the front as cannon fodder to send us to death." Probably because we were worried that if we didn't try our best to attack, we might be forced too much, right? ”

Terashima Ushinosuke's brother, Hidean Tsukio, shouted, "Why can't I cut it when I wait!" The family members we are waiting for have long been arranged to take refuge in the mountains, and it is not in the hands of Kaga Ichiku, so it is not a matter of words! Why do you have to listen to the great monks of Kaga! They drink wine and eat meat, and they like both men and women to eat without rules, our Shenbao family is an authentic martial artist, Gaomen, and the guardian of the middle of the country, why should they be cannon fodder for this group of monks! ”

Jimbo Hachiro Saemon said dissatisfiedly, "Is Hidean Hall going to join the Kira family?" Don't forget who made us lose our territory, and didn't we flee to Kaga just to get revenge? Isn't it just for ...... that we endure humiliation?"

Hidean Tsukio said loudly, "To regain the territory!" So if the Kira family gives us an appointment to Andu, there will be no problem! ”

"That's not going to work either! The hatred of destroying the family is not shared! ”

Terasaki Morinaga disagreed: "What Hachiro Saemon said is not right! Since the price that Kaga has always given is not suitable, why can't he take refuge in the Kira family, anyway, the mission of our countrymen is to keep the family business and not empty hatred, and now our homeland is occupied by the Kira family and Kaga Ichizong, so isn't it just a bet on both sides to make a choice? If Zengshan City is taken back by them and not given to the lord, will we waste our scheming in vain? ”

"Last time in the battle of Shuiwei City, 110,000 people failed to capture a small city, this time 100,000 people attacked Zengshan City, which is even more difficult to fight, and it seems that his subordinates are really hanging!" Terashima Occupation glanced at the silent Jimbo Chief, he used his clear attitude to tell his lord that he was seriously not optimistic about Kaga Ichijo, the Terashima clan is one of the strongest families in the Jimbo clan's retainers, and the other is Kojima Shojo in Fire Miyagi Castle, but he surrendered to the Kira family early and is no longer counted.

The retainers of the spectrum were arguing, and after a while, they were arguing, and the chief of the god was also muttering at this time: "This Kaga has always been known for acting recklessly without respecting the rules of the samurai, and decades ago he dared to lead 80,000 to surround Kaga to protect Tomigashi Masashi and force him to commit suicide, and now it is not a trivial matter to annex the territory of his family."

If he wins this battle, he will win most of the Echichu in one fell swoop, and the use value of the family will be close to zero at that time, and if he loses, Kaga Ichijozong will still lose its use value if he completely withdraws from Etsuchu...... Victory or defeat has nothing to do with me. How can this joint battle be fought? What's the point of fighting for the family? ”

There is nothing wrong with the concerns of the priesthood. Chaosheng Temple Mizhao did not plan to give a piece of the Yue Chinese pie at all. In his eyes, the only enemy is the Kira family, and his plan is nothing more than to create a situation similar to that of the Echizen Asakura family, no matter how much the battle is won or not, at least the Kira family will be driven out of the front line of Tonami County, Shesui County, and Meshi County.

In other words, his plan is to use the Shinkawa County as the boundary to govern separately, and then use the religious power that has always been the same to gradually infiltrate the Shinkawa County and spread to Echigo to complete his further plan, of course, this plan is only a plan that has not yet been formed in his mind, and his current plan is to annex Masuyama Castle.

What can be determined is that the Chaosheng Temple Shrine Photos are. Uesugi Masaho will definitely attack their flanks, and at that time he will order the Jimbo Chieftain to lead the Vietnamese Chinese on the Toba Plains to meet Uesugi Masato, which can not only achieve the effect of delaying time, but also let the Jimbo Masatoshi die at the right time, which can really be described as a wishful thinking that kills two birds with one stone.

And this time, the bottom line of Chaokatsuji Mi Teru's battle is to seize Masuyama Castle and stabilize the inherent interests of the Ichijo sect in Tonami County, even if the battle ahead is unfavorable, it doesn't matter, he can use a suitable reason to reach peace with the Kira family, such as the death of the Jibo Nagashi, Kaga has always lost the need to fight, and so on. Anyway, it's just a scene, and everyone understands it in their hearts.

In fact, whether it is Chaosheng Temple Shō or the chief of the gods, they all know very well that they are not the opponents of the Kira family at all. Because the main force of the Kira family has not been sent on a large scale, if it is 30,000 elites of the main formation plus 10,000 servants from all over Vietnam, then there is no need to think about how to fight, but how to talk about peace.

Takeda Shingen and Hojo Shiyasu have not been able to take advantage of the Kira family, and it is conceivable how much they can do as a rabble of Kaga Ichizonomi, Kaga Ichijo Sect came to fight Echichu with the idea of taking advantage, anyway, the Katsukoji Temple and Zuizumumi Temple that originally belonged to the small Ichiza were all destroyed, and the local Ichijo Sect believers in Echichu lost their dependence and could only go with the flow.

Chaokatsuji Miteru does have 15,000 elites in his hands, and the level is about to touch the military strength of the Asakura family, but these troops are not easy to move, this time he only brought 5,000 elites, and the other 10,000 troops were divided into two halves, one of which was 5,000 people guarding the same clan in Echizen Yoshizaki Gobo, and the other part was in the hands of Kokatsuji Kyoyoshi of Fujishima Chaokatsuji Temple, and the other part remained in Kaga's Kanazawa Gobo Town to guard the lair.

In addition to the 5,000 elites in his hands is his own treasure, there can be no easy loss, as for the other 65,000 Kaga, the army has always been a self-reliant army of self-reliant officials, who launched a group of believers will be led by whom, win the battle and divide the spoils, hello and me, lose the self-seeking blessings, die Buddha friends, immortal poor monks, no matter how you fight the Chaosheng Temple Zhao, it is earned.

At the moment when the Shenbao chief position was uncertain, on a cool morning two days later, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in front of the Dongbao Pavilion, the old Xiaodao Vocational Town, the former genealogy of the Shenbao Chief, and the young Chinese lord Tang Ren came to Daguangma and appeared in front of them in a grand manner.

Kojima didn't care about their shocked expressions at all, and bowed with a smile and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness Jimpo and all of you here, I wish you all good health and long martial luck!" And I wish you a successful start and a rich harvest in advance! ”

Many retainers pondered the meaning of his words, and they really couldn't understand how this new senator, who had already surrendered to the Kira family, dared to wish his enemies victory in front of so many enemies, and felt that there must be something wrong with his head, but if he looked closely, he didn't look like it, and he hesitated and didn't know how to make the right response.

"Captain Kojima Rokuro Saemon! China-style department! You traitors dare to appear in front of us! Jimbo Hachiro Saemon choked and pulled out the sword, and before he could get up, he was pulled by Jimbo Jue Ku beside him, and when he looked back, the Yue Chinese in the hall all looked strange, or shocked or thoughtful, and no one got up to attack these two people, and they didn't even seem to have the idea of scaring them.

Kojima is a middle-aged samurai over forty years old, and he is also a veteran figure who has served in the Jimbo Nagaku family for many years, and the "job" in his name is given by the Jimbo Nagashi office, as early as the Xiangroku period, after the Yuan service in the Xianglu period, he served as the second servant with the Echizen Asakura family, and the Vietnamese Chinese samurai present here are either his former colleagues and old friends, or his nephews in his later life, perhaps too familiar with their character traits to be completely nervous and fearful.

So when Kojima saw the action of Jimbo Hachiemon drawing a knife, he didn't have the slightest expression of surprise, but looked at him with a smile and said, "Hachiro Saemon Hall has calmed down?" That's going to talk! ”

"Humph! You say yes, and no one gags you. Jimbo Hachiro Saemon sat down stupidly, he was not a fool, an impulse was enough, there was no need to make further trouble, so as not to anger the head of the jimbo, but he would have to lose face.

"Under the order of the main hall of Uesugi Dan, I came to contact His Royal Highness Jimbo and thought that I should move at the right time, and cooperate with the army of the main hall of Uesugi Dan to encircle and suppress the main force of the Kaga Ichijo sect that came to attack! Cough! The following is the document that was read, today Kaga has always been a sect that does not respect the shogunate and does not obey the law, my political tiger uphold the justice of the shogunate, hold high the banner of the Kawachi Genji, and the edict of the palace of the Emperor is to crusade against the evil and pacify the source of the chaos in Echichu, and now there is the guardian of the Echichu Tonha County on behalf of the Shinho clan The heart of the Shogunate is coerced by the Kaga Ichikozong, so I hereby write a letter on behalf of the agreement that we can cooperate with our army in the near future to discuss the evil spirit! On August 26 of the second year of Yongroku, Uesugi Danzheng was a young man of the political tiger. ”

After Kojima finished reading this short letter, he sat quietly in the wide room and observed their expressions, the Jimbo chief was so that he couldn't see much change for a while, and the genealogy of the Jimbo family changed one by one, and many of them were indignant and more remained silent.

With more than 20 years of knowledge of the Jimbo, Kojima can be sure that the former lord must be shaken, and Uesugi Masahu is clearly going to give them a step down to see if he takes it or not.

Terashima Jobida saw his old opponent Chun Breeze proud look and felt extremely uncomfortable, last year a large group of their samurai were defeated, some people surrendered to the Kira family but more people chose to follow the Jibo Chieftain to escape, now looking back at the original decision, there are many people regretting how they don't have long eyes, and the reason why many Jibo genealogy generations regret it is that Kojima Jobtown and other new recruits who surrendered have been vigorously promoted. (To be continued......)
