Autumn turns to winter, the cold wind blows from the north and carries the storm and snow to the mountains of southern Echigo, and the mountains of Kamietsu Neckjo County, Chuetsu Uonuma County, Urahara County, and Shimoetsu Iwafune County have become the hardest hit areas by wind and snow, and the mountains of the Three Kingdoms have been blocked by heavy snow, and the streets in the direction of Mutsu and Dewa have also been closed, and the whole of Echigo has become a lonely world, which is why Echigo has always had the advantage of territorial defense.

In the castle tower of the mountain castle of Kasuga, the red brazier is blazing, and the long-tailed Jinghu sitting on a four-wheeled cart is holding a bamboo pole to play the charcoal fire in the brazier, and his body is draped in a cashmere blanket, and the exquisite print shows a high level, which is a cashmere fabric from England thousands of miles away.

Nagata Demoto prescribed a rehabilitation program combining diet recuperation, traditional Chinese medicine recuperation, and acupuncture and massage physiotherapy, which greatly promoted his physical recovery, and the movement of his hands has long been unhindered, and he can also sit up and move his upper limbs.

In the past month, he has been doing leg activities, and is trying to be supported to walk, and it is very useful for Kira Yoshishi to send a pair of crutches, and the crutches with leather bushings can try to stand up on his own, which is the positive effect of Nagata Tokumoto, and after the blow of this great change and the long treatment period, Nagao Keitora has enough time to think and reflect on his life.

Speaking of the past ten years, he has walked too fast, so that he has no time to stop and think about the gains and losses, with the victory of each other to boost his pride, but also to cover up the hidden dangers within Echigo, once he encounters internal problems, he becomes extremely angry, and always feels that he has done so much why the retainers do not understand. But he never thought about how to resolve the deep-rooted contradictions of the retainers.

An overly paranoid personality affects his calm judgment. Anger clouded his sanity. Pride makes him forgetful, drinking makes him emotionally impulsive, these are all his own faults, of course, he will not admit that asceticism is wrong, and the belief in Rinzai Buddhism and the authority of Iizuna both emphasize asceticism, which is also in line with the Buddhist ideas of the time.

The calm Echigo dragon is charismatic, he is well-versed in military books, and he also has a deep knowledge of waka calligraphy and tea ceremony. When he was in Kyoto, he often participated in waka singing, and was praised by the minister of Kyoto as a first-class cultural person in Hokuriku, and every time he talked about culture and history, there were always endless topics, so that Kira Yoshitoki also sighed at the intelligence and sensitivity of Nagao Jinghu.

The profound cultural cultivation is the enlightenment of his mentor Tianmuro Guangyu, and also because his father Nagao bought a large number of books from Kyoto for Jing, and he hastily read a few rough books before, and he turned them out one by one, either Biwajima Yashichiro read for him, or he took the scroll and read it carefully, and accumulated a lot of reading notes over time. In his words: "This is a rare time to take a break, and I want to sum up the first half of my life. ”

Kira Yoshitoki sat on the other side of the brazier. Snuggled in his arms is the long-tailed tiger Ji, the pair of little lovers have been separated for less than a month, and when Kira Yoshishi comes back, they are entangled like glue, and the long-tailed Jinghu smiled and said: "August 8 next year is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the time is not early, it is time to prepare early, and I can rest assured that you will get married sooner." ”

"Brother! It's still early! Ten months to go! "Tiger Ji blushed a little, buried her little head in Kira Yoshitoki's arms, and reprimanded her for the premarital trespassing behavior of an ordinary samurai, but the situation of the Nagao family is different, and Kira Yoshitoki has always been regarded as a member of the Nagao family.

This can be seen from the long-tailed Jinghu arranging for the two of them to be in a building, and then a series of things happened between the two and finally came together, the long-tailed Jinghu was too late to be happy, how could he scold the two of them for a little intimacy, the two of them are still young, nothing strange will happen at all, and the intimacy is regarded as cultivating feelings, not to mention that one of the two has become the lord of the country, and the other has acted as the lord of the country, and they have long been politically united, and they don't care about this little action.

"Hehe, maybe it's early!" Nagao Jinghu smiled, these days there is no need to think about the burden of the family business, except for cooperating with the recuperation, he has a much more cheerful temperament, laughing more than before, after a while he said: "Master Nagata suggested that I should be vulgar, I thought about it and agreed." ”

"Brother is saying that now you want to be vulgar?" The two were surprised, they had the impression that the long-tailed Jinghu was a paranoid Buddhist, how could he be vulgar? It is said that Naoe Mitsuna has a daughter named Ah Lang, who has been serving him since a few years ago, and that woman is handsome and gentle, but because Naoe Mitsuna's eldest daughter Ah Chuan died of illness, she returned to Naoe's house at the end of last year.

"Not what you think." Seeing the suspicious faces of the two, Changwei Jinghu immediately understood what the two little people were thinking, shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Yongtian told me that eating more meat will help the body recover, and as a monk, you can't get rid of meat, so you can only talk about it." ”

"Oh! I see! Hu Ji nodded, she knew that the so-called meat was aquatic products such as fish and shrimp in the river, whether the two-legged birds could be eaten or between the two, and the four-legged animals would definitely not work, of course, if you insisted that the mountain boar was the mountain whale, there was no way.

Kira Yoshitoki complained: "It's good to be vulgar! Always call Master Zongxin to listen to strange things. ”

The long-tailed Jinghu shook his head helplessly, and the tiger Ji, who was his younger sister, also covered his mouth and snickered, and after a while remembered to help his brother speak: "What's strange, it's even more strange that His Highness said this!" ”

"Why! It's not surprising that I say that! "The two of you are talking to me.

In this year, Kinai was still not peaceful, because the major defeat in the battle of Katsuracheon last year caused great trauma to the Miyoshi family inside and outside, and the rebellion of the Tamba people also adversely affected the Miyoshi family's dominance over the Kinai.

In order to reverse the unfavorable situation as soon as possible, in early April this year, Miyoshi Yoshiken led an army of 18,000 to attack Tanba Province again, and Naito Munekatsu, who had returned from injury, once again served as the vanguard.

The enemy Naito Munekatsu faced was the future Tanba Akaki Ogino Naomasa, and the two sides fought fiercely all day long, but they still didn't win or lose. In the end, it was Miyoshi Yoshiken who led his army to raid the Shioni Sect that came to support him and repelled him. Also as reinforcements, the Akai family retreated later. Hatano Harumi was forced to surrender again.

This time, Kasai Motonari and Miyoshi Masakatsu were unfortunate enough to hold on to the castle with Hatano Haritichi, and finally had to submit together, and Miyoshi Yoshiken had a terrible headache for these two dog-skin plaster-like guys, so he decided to take them away from Tanba Province, and the two were arranged to monitor the situation in Settsu, and they could no longer play their best role in mobilizing behind enemy lines.

The two dedicated samurai departed, and Tanba turned into a plate of scattered sand as if he had lost his backbone, and no other sound was raised. Naito Munekatsu returned to Yagi Castle to take control of the military and political power of the Tamba country, and fate showed great strength, and with strong tension, he once again pulled history back to the original track.

Of course, there are those who return to the original point, and of course there are those who are out of control, the shogunate is still sitting in Kyoto and controlling his mountain castle country, and there is no other reaction to the war near Tanba, and the shogunate official Ashikaga Yoshiteru made the biggest move, which is to severely criticize the barbaric behavior of Dr. Miyoshi to invade other countries at the waka meeting, and call on the peace-loving people of all over to unite under the banner of the shogunate to resist the violent invasion of the Miyoshi family.

At the beginning of June, the Miyoshi family's fighting in Tamba was over. After a month's rest, the Miyoshi family began to plan to go to Luo again. And then there was no then.

The second pole Hatakeyama Takamasa and his good ally Rokkaku Yoshiken suddenly jumped out, calling on the people of Kinai to respond to the call of His Royal Highness the Shogunate Minister, to defeat Miyoshi and restore Kinai, this jump almost poked out of the big basket, and the people of Kinai who had long been dissatisfied with the Miyoshi family swarmed, since the defeat of the Kira family several times, the myth of the undefeated Miyoshi family has been punctured, and now the people of Kinai feel that they can also copy the record of the Kira family, if you can be lucky enough to mix a famous Kinai general, Omi famous general, Asai gun famous general, or a small mountain village famous general or something.

His jump pulled up the fierce resistance of the heroes in Kinai, and the heads of the Miyoshi family were stunned, didn't it mean that the Hatakeyama family no longer planned to confront the Miyoshi family? Didn't you say that Takamasa Hatakeyama and Ashikaga Yoshiki broke up? When did they get back together again? And it was also associated with Hosokawa Harumoto's brother-in-law, and this trend was obviously wrong.

Unable to get any answers to all these questions, Matsunaga Shu sent an envoy to the Hatakeyama family to ask him why he had betrayed the agreement to rebel against the Miyoshi family, but the next day the unlucky messenger's head was hung on the big hand gate outside the castle, which meant that I didn't bother to talk to you, and I would kill your people if I came again.

Miyoshi Changqing has not been out of the castle tower for three days, and since the nineteenth year of astronomy, he has not been able to pass smoothly, so how can Miyoshi Changqing not be angry? He also figured it out, it's obviously not appropriate to talk about Luo now, at least in two or three years, he has to let the little general live a comfortable life, anyway, he is not in a hurry to beat two bastards who don't know how to lift first.

Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't expect his casual words to cause such a warm reaction, so he felt good about himself and ordered Yamashiro and Omi's military forces to cooperate, but his self-feeling did not infect others, and the people of Yamashiro were not willing to touch the Miyoshi family at all, and the bones of the people of Yamashiro were the softest in the entire Kinai, and of course the reaction to contaminating their land was also fierce, such as Tsuchichi.

So the people of Yamashiro who had no bones casually found reasons to fool the past, some said that everyone was hungry and couldn't fight together without the autumn harvest, and some said that they were seriously ill and couldn't go out, in short, there were miscellaneous theories, and they almost made Ashikaga Yoshiki dizzy.

Nakajo Tokihide, who was left behind by the Kira family in Omi, also expressed his position at the same time, saying that it was not easy to win the labor expedition, and it was better to wait and see the changes than to move, and then he was angry with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and at this time he regretted going to Echigo so happily when Yoshira Yoshitoshi was, if he was there, there must be a way to deal with the Miyoshi family.

At the beginning of July, the Hatakeyama and Rokkaku coalition forces began to mobilize, and the Miyoshi family was not in a hurry, anyway, these two families took the initiative to fight him, and he could wait for the other party to come to the door, and as soon as the autumn harvest ended, the two families launched a decisive attack, with a total of 35,000 troops, and then the combined army stopped when it reached the south bank of the Yodo River.

The reason is that they found it too difficult to fight across the river, and they couldn't get through it without the support of the naval army, but if they didn't fight, they were embarrassed to bask in the sun on the other side, and the Miyoshi family didn't even mobilize much, and it was still the 18,000 army of Miyoshi Yoshixian, and the countrymen of Izumi and Settsu did not move, and the 18,000 people were all the legions of the four countries.

The advantage of this is that the countrymen of Izumi and Settsu must provide military food support if they do not provide military service, and they don't need his Miyoshi family to produce a grain of food, and in the end, the Miyoshi family will not lose in any case, not to mention that the Akutagawa Mountain Castle of the Settsu country and the 8,000 army of Miyoshi Changqing have not moved, and if the Hatakeyama and Rokkaku coalition forces do not know each other, Miyoshi Changqing will not mind giving them a profound lesson.

This confrontation lasted from August to the end of October, and seeing that the river was about to dry up in winter, Rokkaku Yoshiken thought of withdrawing his troops, while Hatakeyama Takamasa thought of a surprise attack, and as a result, the two sides had a dispute over whether to retreat or advance, and neither of them could convince anyone.

Hatakeyama Takamasa is twenty-six or seventeen years old, and Rokkaku Yoshiken is also thirty-three years old, although the two of them show a trend of polarization between young age and adulthood from their faces and styles, but their birth identities are reversed.

Hexagon Yixian is more realistic, he thinks that this opportunity is not very good, and the moment he sends out the troops, he begins to regret his recklessness, what he is best at in the hexagonal family is to defend and counterattack to grab people's heads, or everyone to assist together, let him play the front and be tough, maybe when he will send it.

It's a pity that Hatakeyama Takamasa doesn't understand who Rokkaku Yoshiken or the Rokkaku family is, and he feels that his allies are very tough, as long as he cooperates with a good wave to take away the Miyoshi family, it is not a dream, but God's teammates told him that it is the right way to go back to his hometown now, which makes Hatakeyama Takamasa, who is not very developed in brains, unable to understand.

In the final dispute, the coalition squandered its last chance, and by the time the first snow fell in November, morale had dropped to freezing, and the Hatakeyama and Rokkaku coalition forces broke up unhappily.

Rokkaku Yoshiken hates this guy who is not sober-minded, he regrets that he believes that he can control this pig teammate, he overestimates his own level too much, and Hatakeyama Takamasa also hates this guy who can only preach, what he says on his mouth is all kinds of problems and difficulties, and he deeply understands the truth that God blows is a pit.

Thirty-five thousand against 18,000,In the end, he retreated without putting a single fart.,This is not a high-end performance no matter how you look at it.,The poor performance also disappointed many Kinai samurai, including the shogunate.,These two are embarrassed to mention anything to call for Kinai to fight.,Since then, they haven't mentioned the matter of advocating that everyone work together to defeat Miyoshi and restore Kinai.。 (To be continued......)
