"It's not that simple! What the family is really worried about is the Rokkaku family on the other side, once Nakao City falls into a crisis, Rokkaku Yoshiken will not be tied, and it will be difficult for the eight thousand Hexagonal Army to cross the river to the north and join the children of the Kira family! It is still a little difficult to fight against 15,000 people with the 10,000 army of the family, and the elder brother can't draw more troops for a while, and the family can only have a chance to win if it merges with Hinatamori. ”

The army of the Ten Rivers is not bad, and the gap between the two armies has been calculated before leaving, and 18,000 against 15,000 is not safe, not to mention that there are 3,000 Hosokawa troops in Zhongwei City, one side is holding back and the other is attacking, this is to break the military strength of the three good families.

The inner view of the castle lord of the city of Sangigi asked suspiciously: "But why didn't Rokkaku Yoshiken simply cross the river to join the Kira army?" Isn't this a direct pressure on the side? ”

Shihe Yicun laughed and said, "Of course the six-horned Yixian can't do this!" How could such a cunning person take the initiative to change the tide of the war? Don't forget my brother's evaluation, the Hexagonal family only does things that follow the trend, and will never risk charging ahead! ”

Looking at the retainers' sudden realization, he continued: "Of course, this is only part of the reason, the biggest reason is that he is unwilling to leave a gap and let his brother seize the opportunity to seize the opportunity of Kita-Omi on the north bank of the Uji River, once facing the situation of the loss of the Sakamoto Imperial Palace, not only will the little general on the mountain be scared out of Nakao Castle, but even Rokkaku Yoshiken will face the situation of being cut off, so he will not take the risk to cross the river, and no one will dare to act rashly before the autumn grain is harvested, and it is still very early before the real decisive battle!" ”

On the other side of the river, the result of the discussion between Kira Yoshitoki and Yamamoto Tokiyuki was similar to the statement that the Ten Rivers were one existence, and Kira Yoshitoki frowned and said: "Actually, the summer harvest can also collect some annual tribute, which adds up to about a few thousand stones!" But that's not enough! There are still two months left before the end of the autumn harvest, and the real decisive battle will have to wait. ”

"Yes! The Rokkaku family could only send 8,000 reinforcements because of the lack of food, and the Miyoshi family only sent 20,000 troops at a time because of the lack of food, and the family still took advantage of it, and the two counties of Shiga Takashima mobilized and organized an army of 5,000 regardless of the cost, and even if they waited for the autumn harvest, it would not be much more than this number. "Yamamoto Tokiyuki is familiar with the actual situation of grain and grass, and the Kira family currently only has 5,000 stone of grain in stock, which is still the old grain left over from last autumn's harvest, which is only enough for the 7,000 army to eat more than three months of grain and grass.

"This kind of confrontation is a waste of food!"

Yamamoto Tokiyuki asked rhetorically, "Isn't training in Sakamoto the same as wasting food?" ”

"That's different!"

"What's the difference? They are all training soldiers and eating food, and now they can also train soldiers. ”

“…… Seems to make sense! Then use these two months to continue training! Kira Yoshitoki was finally persuaded and gave the order to continue training.

So at the end of June, when the long confrontation began, Kira Yoshitoki ordered the fishermen under the jurisdiction of the Yodogawa people to hang around the river of the Miyoshi family every day, in order to monitor the movements of the Miyoshi family, and these fishermen fixed their nets on the Kamogawa River every day to fish, which naturally aroused the high vigilance of the Miyoshi family, and the Miyoshi family paid close attention to the movement on the river, and even sent samurai to arrest several fishermen for interrogation, and came to the conclusion that they were indeed fishermen.

So every time the fishermen who came to fish would always be driven away by the samurai of the Miyoshi family in small boats, and these fishermen would take advantage of the samurai's return and then run back perseveringly to continue to cast their nets, it is said that this kind of upset and irritable thing made the samurai of the Miyoshi family feel annoyed, and the fishermen who came to sell fresh fish were also refused, and the Hattori ninja took the opportunity to disguise themselves as merchants selling fruits and vegetables and salted fish, and successfully infiltrated the camp to spy on information.

Having an eye embedded in the camp of the Ten Rivers also made Kira Yoshitoki feel at ease, and the seemingly unimportant news contained great mysteries.

Hattori chief said one by one: "On the 2nd of July, the Ten Rivers were stored in the big tent and feasted the ministers, and the Yamato National Ape musicians helped to entertain until the third watch. ”

"On July 5th, the Ten Rivers held an eagle hunt at the southern foot of Tianwang Mountain, and Miyoshi Yasunjun accompanied the hunt and returned to the camp on July 7."

"Running to the edge of the castle of Shenglong Temple and hunting? This guy really doesn't take his family seriously! Ji Liang Yishi felt angry and funny, 10,000 against 7,000 still dared to be so arrogant, saying that he had no brains was absolutely impossible, and the ten rivers were not directly related to the tight defense in the camp on the other side of the river.

"Who else in the camp on the other side is participating in the eagle hunt with Shihe Yicun?"

"Nope! Shihe Yicun only rushed to Shenglong Temple City with two hundred horsemen, and did not bring any retainers to follow. ”

"So it's a joke?" Ji Liang Yishi understood after a little thought, and said secretly: "What a good family!" is a good ten rivers and one existence, not only showing the attitude of looking down on the family, but also secretly testing the attitude of the family? The three good and four brothers are all difficult and ruthless! ”

He originally thought that this "Ghost Shihe" was a reckless man full of muscles, who would have thought that he would play small tricks, if he didn't have an intelligence source, he would really be deceived by him, Ji Liangyi got up and walked back and forth a few times, and ordered: "Continue to keep an eye on Shihe for me, and report any situation in time!" ”

"Your Majesty has another piece of information to report, the two thousand people of Yamashiro led by Ise Sadataka are very special, they are arranged in the westernmost part of the camp, after observing that the discipline of Yamashiro is the worst and the morale is the lowest, His Majesty quietly probed near Ise Sadataka's big tent and found that his defense was very lax, do you want to?" Hattori made a head-cutting motion.

"No need! You just have to keep an eye on the ten rivers and save them! Kira Yoshitoki rejected the proposal after a moment's consideration, killing him now would not help the situation in any way, and on the contrary, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Yes!" Hattori quietly retreated.

Because there are too few sailors belonging to the Kira family, only the release of the fishermen under the jurisdiction of the Yodogawa family makes the Miyoshi family more vigilant, and it also shows from the side that it is not the time to use the Yodogawa people, the confrontation lasted for more than ten days, and the situation of the two sides to maintain the ancient well without waves was finally broken, and the samurai of the Miyoshi side often provoked on the other side of the river, as if they intended to provoke the anger of the Kira army, but their performance was really clumsy, and they were frightened by the indiscriminate shooting of the Kira family's archers who rushed over.

It may be that the performance of these samurai is too bad, in short, there has been no scolding since then, Shikawa Ichicun still drinks and feasts non-stop, and often invites the ministers of Kyoto to enjoy the music of Yamato apes, it is said that he also despised Kira Yoshishi in front of the minister, saying that he is just a Mikawa child is not enough to worry about something like that, this kind of words quickly came to the ears of Kira Yoshishi, Mikawa Samurai angrily jumped out to ask for battle, Omi Samurai was a little ambiguous, just blindly cursed Tokawa Ichicun and did not mention anything else.

In order to appease the impatience of his subordinates, Kira Yoshitoki took out evidence to persuade them: "According to the investigation, the army of the Miyoshi family is strict and unslack, and the three thousand and four countries under its command have strong combat strength, and they will not let the four reserves of the family at all, this is a trap, in order to let the family take the initiative to attack the trap, the person who moves first will definitely show flaws." ”

"Yes! His Highness Kira is right! Let's wait! Rotten Wood Fujitsuna hurriedly agreed.

Isshiki clenched his fists and roared angrily, "Damn! Just wait? Morale will definitely be affected after a long time! ”

"Training! Start training now! Tokiyuki Yamamoto came up with his own solution: "Hard training, shameful lessons, morale can definitely be maintained!" ”
