Chapter 870: A Guest from a Foreign Country
In the Tosa Kingdom Anyun Castle, Anyu Guohu was considering whether to agree to the invitation of the Motoyama family, and faced the Changzong family from the south to attack back and forth.
In An Yun Guohu's heart, he was unwilling to get involved in the dispute between the Changzong family and the Benshan family, after all, at this time, the strength of the Benshan family was much stronger than the Changzong family, and the strength of the Benshan family could completely deal with the Changzong family, so in An Yun Guohu's view, the Benshan family's invitation to him this time was just to use him as a chess piece, and to contain the Changzong family. At that time, I don't know if the Motoyama family, which has changed from the front of the battle to the rear, will help contain the Changzong family?
In addition to being unwilling to become a pawn of the Benshan family to intervene in the dispute between the Benshan family and the Changzong family, more importantly, the Changzong family has always been friendly with the Ichijo family, and even bowed down to the Ichijo family (in fact, this is the Changzong and my family and the Changzong Ibu Yuanqin The two fathers and sons deliberately expressed Xiàn), and his wife is the sister of the governor of the family and the sister of the family (actually a cousin), once the Changzong and my family are out of the battle, it is difficult to explain to the family.
But if the invitation of the Benshan family is refused, then it is very likely that there will be a rift in the relationship between the Benshan family and the Benshan family, which is not a good thing for the An Yun family. So at this time, An Yun Guohu was faced with two different choices.
After some careful consideration, An Yun Guohu finally refused the invitation of the Benshan family. What An Yun didn't know was that his decision actually changed the history of the entire Tosa Province. At this time, An Yun Guohu still didn't know how powerful the Changzong family was after that.
Truly. Judging from the current power of the Chozong family. Although this has been going on for years. The strength of the Changzong and my family has greatly expanded the strength of the Changzong family, but at this time, compared to the Benshan family that he took the initiative to attack, the strength of the Changzong family is obviously much weaker. However, it was from this battle that the two sides clashed continuously, and finally a few years later, the famous Battle of Nagahama broke out, and the Nagamune Ibu family was able to win a great victory from the situation of being absolutely inferior at the beginning of the war, and not only achieved the final victory. Most of the elites of the Motoyama family were killed in battle, and many retainers were taken down, so the Chosamune family gradually annexed the Motoyama family in the following period of time and grew into the most powerful power in Tosa Province.
And at this time, An Yun Guohu realized the problem of Changzong's family, but when the general situation was decided, An Yun Guohu thought that a family would help him, so he directly fought a decisive battle with Changzong's family, and finally committed suicide after defeat. It is conceivable that if Yasuki Kunihu had been able to accept the invitation of the Motoyama family to invade the territory of the Chosō clan from the rear, it would have been very likely that the history of Tosa Province would have changed. Maybe. In the future, the Chosamune family that unified the four countries would not have arisen from this.
At this time, it was near Qinquanji Castle in Nagaoka County. A big battle has just ended, and the army of Changzong's family has just started a fierce battle with the Qinquan Temple sweeping department that came out of the Qinquan Temple City of the Benshan family, and the reinforcements of the Benshan family have been defeated. The people of the Changzong family had no idea that they had just escaped a crisis and avoided the danger of being attacked from the rear.
Under a large tree in one corner of the battlefield, two samurai in armor were sitting on the ground resting, wiping their weapons and chatting casually. Around the two of them, several samurai who appeared to be their men were on guard.
"Is the news confirmed?" One of them, a young man with a handsome face who looked to be in his forties, asked.
"It's confirmed, Ouchi's Taolongfang and Aki's gross profit have been defeated." The young man on the other side, who was well-built and looked to be in his twenties, replied.
"Hehe, I really can't imagine that the general of the Western Kingdom who gave my family a headache back then and the very cunning general of the Maori family have failed." The young man was silent for a few moments before speaking.
The young man on the other side did not respond to the young man's words, but lowered his head and seemed to be very attentive to wipe the head of the spear in his hand.
"Hehe, the Luo family is so powerful, when will I have the opportunity to escort the young master back to Fenghou!" The young man seemed to be very familiar with the young man's character, and after glancing at the young man, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Say, why did you save our two masters and servants in the first place? It's been too long. ”
When the young man heard this, he was obviously stunned, only to see him stop what he was doing and stand up, but still did not respond to the young man's complaint, but raised his head to look at the western sky, his eyes were full of affection, and he couldn't help but think in his heart:
"Yes, when will I be able to return to my hometown to regain the family's territory, the guy on the other side is okay, the territory of his two masters and servants is just the general territory of the Luo family, and the territory of his family is the residence of the Luo family governor at this time! Under such circumstances, if the Luo family was not destroyed, it would be impossible for him to regain that territory. and the bones of the clansmen who secretly ran back and stole them back after the extinction of the clan were buried in a mountain forest in the family territory, which he had personally buried hand by hand, and now he has not gone back for more than ten years, and it is probably overgrown with wild grass and shrubs. Grandfather, father, brothers and sisters, please forgive me for not coming back to see you. Please rest assured, I have lived well in another country, I was a teenager back then, and now I am a fierce general, and in the first battle, I also won three heads. ”
"I said, Gorou's marksmanship is up to you, is that okay?" While the young man pondered, the young man was still sitting on the ground, but he was smiling.
The young man glanced back at the young man and nodded. When the castle he held was captured by the Luo family, the young man fled to the beach with the two-year-old Longevity Pill, and happened to meet himself who was about to cross the sea from the Hizen Province after secretly sweeping the tomb and preparing to cross the sea from that place to return to Shikoku, so he saved this pair of master and servant. Now, the baby has grown into a little boy under the care of a nurse hired by the youth. The young man has recently been looking for a teacher for this little boy who is known to the young people as the young master. Since we all have a common goal. And the two sides have been cooperating, and it's okay to help each other.
Unlike in history, the young man was a short-tempered and ungrateful person, but since the family was wiped out by the Shao Er family, and then the territory was occupied by the Luo family, his life has changed. During these ten years, he wandered around. From a teenager who is only a teenager to a young man with a strong body today. And during this period, he defected to more than a dozen different forces, and personally experienced the process of several forces he threw himself into being destroyed by more powerful forces, so under all kinds of tribulations, his personality has long become very different.
Similarly, in history, a young man was an outstanding military advisor and wise general, but because he had to take a child to survive in another country, after some ups and downs. It has also become very different from him in history.
Coincidentally, it was also because of the appearance of the Roche family. A young man who was supposed to be the general of the family and had high hopes for the family was imprisoned in a cell at this time.
The prison of Shimizu Castle in Shimazu Home Castle in Satsuma Province in South Kyushu. At this time, it was just dawning, and in March, the Satsuma region of Kyushu had entered the rainy and foggy weather. In a clean cell, the guests here are watching the scenery through the only wooden window of the cell. From a distance, before you know it, the spring color is getting thicker, and the white plums that dot the banks of the river outside the city have spit out yellow buds, which are about to be covered by cherry blossoms.
It is said to be a special cell for the sinners of the Shimazu family, and anyone who has committed a crime against the Shimazu family but does not die will be imprisoned here. In the history of the Shimazu family, only three people have been held here, and a few days ago, it welcomed its fourth guest. This guest is none other than Yoshihiro Shimazu, the second son of Takahisa Shimazu, the governor of the Shimazu family.
"Alas! Satashiro, why do you bother? At this time, a man sitting on the other side of the cell with his hair tied up and a coconut tree-like shape erected on the back of his head, wearing a gown, looked like he was in his twenties, and said to Shimazu Yoshihiro with a wry smile.
"Brother doesn't need to say much, the younger brother has already made up his mind, if the father can't listen to the advice of the younger brother, the younger brother feels ashamed of the ancestors of the Shimazu family, and the only way to punish himself as a sinner of the Shimazu family is here." After hearing the words of his brother Shimazu Yoshihisa, Shimazu Yoshihiro turned around, knelt on the dirt floor of the cell, and bowed to his brother before speaking firmly.
"This?" Hearing that Shimazu Yoshihiro still refused to move out of this cell, Shimazu Yoshihisa's brows really furrowed. He had just returned to Satsuma Shimizu Castle from the Nishi-Osumi area with a newly victorious army when he learned that his second brother had taken the initiative to move into the Shimazu family's cell. As for the reason why the second brother moved into the cell, it was natural that after admonishing his father and grandfather several times, he was rejected by his father and grandfather, so the second brother simply claimed that he was a sinner of the Shimazu family, and then moved into the cell in front of him.
Because of this, his father Takahisa Shimazu and his grandfather Tadara Shimazu were almost not angry to death. But they didn't send anyone to invite Shimazu Yoshihiro out, and Shimazu Takahisa, as his father, even directly scolded Shimazu Yoshihiro at the family meeting that he should indeed stay in this cell, because Shimazu Yoshihiro's cousin who returned home this time was already ashamed of the ancestors of the Shimazu family, and he was indeed a sinner of the Shimazu family.
After learning the news, Shimazu Yoshihisa, as his brother, had to hurry to visit his father and grandfather, and then came to this cell to meet his second brother Shimazu Yoshihiro.
Faced with the conflict between his father and younger brother, Shimazu Yoshihisa, as the eldest son, naturally hoped to act as a mediator and mediate for them. But in Shimazu Yoshihisa's heart, in this contradiction, his father was right, and his second brother was naturally wrong.
You must know that during this period of time, the Shimazu family has achieved great results in both the Kita-Satsuma area and the Nishi-Osumi area. On the side of Nishi-Osumi, the Shimazu family successively captured Urayu Castle, Kajigi Castle, and Iwaken Castle, and successively subdued the Urabu family in Nishi-Osumi and the Nishi-Osumi Liver Fu family, a branch of the Liver House family. On the North Satsuma side, it was even more defeated by the alliance composed of the Northern Satsuma Hao clan such as Qidain, Kitamura, and Ryokari, and at this time the army of the Shimazu family was preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the North Satsuma region in one fell swoop, so as to unify the entire Satsuma country (in fact, in history, the Shimazu family should have had such a strategy a few years ago, and this time it was because of the intervention of the Luo family that the strategy of the Shimazu family was delayed for several years).
Under such a record, the strategy of the Shimazu family is categorically not likely to be terminated, not to mention, the so-called opening of the bow has no turning back, since the Shimazu family has torn up the agreement formulated under the auspices of the Luo family, then there is no need to worry more, and it is impossible to take the initiative to ask the Luo family for guilt as the second brother advised.
Now, the only thing that makes Shimazu Yoshihisa a headache is why his second brother is so worried that the Shimazu family will lose to the Luo family? Why did his second brother become what he is today? (To be continued......)
