Chapter 470: Scruples
Although Honjo is dissatisfied, he is not reckless.
Seeing that Uesugi Teruto's cronie Naoe continued to act like this, she didn't dare to resist the order of the Imperial Observatory until she figured out the reason.
Euphemistically persuaded.
"The people of Yangbei are menacing, this group of people who are stupid and don't know the number of etiquette, and the body of the daughter of the imperial platform cannot be in front of the battle.
Tochio Castle is the gateway to the upper reaches of the city, and its location is important. The reinforcements are not far away, so why not wait a few days, it is the best strategy. ”
Yiyin shook his head.
"Just because Tochio City is too important and cannot afford to be lost, it is necessary to go out of the city to compete and rub a wave of enemy spirit first.
The lonely city is the most taboo to defend, and the initiative to attack is also for defense, so that the rebellious will not treat us as soft persimmons and act arbitrarily. ”
What Yiyin said is true.
Since ancient times, there are few people who can't defend the city, unless they encounter a situation where the difference in strength is too great, most of them rely on the city, waiting for the opportunity to attack, and strive for the initiative.
Defend the city passively, put yourself in a desperate situation, be strategically passive, and tactically have a lot less means.
The most important thing is that trapping yourself in a Jedi is too demoralizing to last.
Honjo squinted, this Imperial Observatory was secretly changing the concept.
Yijia Governor Wu Yong, said that it would arrive in ten days, it must have arrived within ten days, how could a mere Hojo Castle stop her footsteps.
But the news hasn't come yet, and she can't be presumptuous that the reinforcements will arrive on time, and she will be speechless by this imperial platform.
How can you be lucky in a war and rely on reinforcements?
Yiyin applied the current situation with the concept of long-term perseverance, deliberately ignoring the fact that Tozuo Castle only needed to be held for another five days.
And although Honjo Minori understood that he was sophistry, because of the high status of both parties, he had scruples and could not refute it clearly.
She had to find other reasons to prevaricate.
"Our army is mixed, the lord is not there, it is difficult to command smoothly, it is better to defend the city and wait for reinforcements."
Yiyin retorted.
"Yangbeizhong is not very peaceful internally, and the four parties are also full of contradictions and are not convinced by each other? If they can overcome it, we can't?
What's more, this place is already the residence of the Genji clan of Hanoi, which is where the great righteousness lies, and I will give the order in unison, who dares not to listen! ”
As soon as these words came out, Da Xiong Chaoxiu bowed decisively and shouted.
"Serve the general, die for the service of the imperial platform!"
Yamanaka Yumori and Shimakatsu Takeshi and their group of Spoji samurai reacted half a beat slowly, allowing her to grab the lead, and quickly kowtowed to the ground, shouting to obey the order.
The Chinese and Vietnamese people followed to the ground, looking like they were united. Honjo had no choice but to bow his head and bow, and the shirt-bearers also bowed to Spo Yoshigin.
Yiyin looked at her unwilling eyes, and smiled in his heart, the identity of Kawachi Genji is too easy to use.
The biggest reason why he dared to go to war was because the rebellion was a civil war.
The Echigo samurai family has multiplied for hundreds of years, and although there are many contradictions in the upper, middle and lower Mitsukoshi, the relationship between the families is actually not far away.
For example, the three elders and tails, such as the four parties in Yangbei, the ancestors worked together to lead the country, and they were not relatives to each other, but also relatives of relatives.
Therefore, although there were many rebellions in Echigo, there was no loss of national strength. In the end, there was no dead hand.
The samurai conquest pays attention to the blood relatives of the township party.
If it is between two leading countries, like Kai and Echigo, then the fight will definitely be full of people, and no one will treat each other as a human being.
But the country is intertwined, and what is fighting for power is nothing more than authority. You eat more food, I eat less, although angry, but will not force people to death.
Yangbei rebelled several times, and the two generations of Uesugi Huihu's mother and daughter only increased the punishment of military service, and did not crush the Yangbei people, and transferred the samurai from other places to re-divide this place.
And Yangbei people fought all over Xiayue, Zhongyue, and Vietnam, and they didn't hear of whose villages were burned and whose fields were destroyed, at most they were just seeking self-reliance.
To put it mildly, Ben Zhuang really said that he has nothing to do with Yangbei Zhongben Banker, so it really doesn't matter?
If Uesugi Huihu slaughters the Yangbei people, most of the martial artists under his command may directly rebel, which is more troublesome than the Yangbei people.
The samurai society is a blood society through and through, and it is an iron law to help relatives or not.
But wherever the defenders defend the important place, they are all trembling, lest they lose the city and damage the overall situation, so they naturally dare not mess around.
Yiyin dared to go to war because he saw through the essence of the Echigo rebellion, and both sides would not make a dead move, and they couldn't get out of the city to fight once.
If it was really against a foreign enemy such as Takeda Hojo, he would not dare to be so casual.
There are less than 200 warriors under his command, and it is really to the point of killing Red Eye, which is not enough to consume the number of a joint battle, and the loss is exhausted.
In this battle, he sought prestige, not really fought to the death.
The two sides probably have a lot of scruples, and it would be even better if it turned into a gentleman's battle like a horseman.
With the plug-in in hand, the world is invincible.
Honjo really couldn't talk about him, his eyes rolled wildly, and he said.
"The people in Yangbei are arrogant and brave, the army is numerous, and they attack rashly, but they are afraid that the enemy is outnumbered, and it is not good for field warfare."
Yiyin glanced at her.
Honjo really seems to be afraid of him, and the reasons he finds are worse than the other, and Naoe's head on the side is about to be lowered into his chest, and he really can't stand it.
Yiyin asked rhetorically.
"Where is there a shortage of our army? Or are the shirts unbearable to fight, and they can't beat your so-called brave Yangbeizhong? ”
As soon as these words came out, even Saito Asanobu glared angrily at Honjo and had some emotions.
Honjo smiled bitterly, she was in a hurry to find a reason to refute just now, but she forgot that today was not five days ago.
With Saito Asanobu bringing back some of the Nagao people, and Spo Yoshiin bringing back the Great Bear people, the strength of Tochio Castle became not inferior to the many people in the northern part of the country.
Although the ingredients are messy, Yangbeizhong is actually not bad.
The most ridiculous thing is that she just reported these news to Si Po Yiyin, and now she is being slapped in the face, which is simply self-inflicted.
The Echigo National Stone is about 400,000 stone high, and most of it is in the Echigo Plain, to which the middle and lower Echigo belong, and the Upper Kota Plain is not large.
However, Uesugi Teruto, as the lord of Echigo, occupied the gold and silver mines of Echigo, and green hemp was also planted in the territory directly under Kamichu-Etsu.
Therefore, the actual mobilization power of Echigo is no less than 500,000 or 600,000 stones.
Yangbeizhong's Xiayue simply relied on the fields and occupied 30% of the military strength of Echigo.
There are about 15 reserve troops dispatched this time, more than 3,000 ashigaru, nearly 1,000 Ji warriors, plus heavy peasant soldiers, known as 10,000 troops.
The Central and Lower Plains were divided equally between the Echigo Plain, and they were even larger, and the military strength accounted for about 40% of the Echigo military service account.
Excluding a few onlookers, the Koshi Nagao family and part of the Ueda Nagao family of the Hui army, most of the remaining military forces have been assembled in Tochio Castle.
There are five reserve teams of the Great Bears, and the Upper Shirt and some Ueda Nagao are also five reserves, plus the Chinese and Vietnamese who came to help in the battle, and the number of reserves is not lost to the Yangbei people.
There is no shortage of troops that Honjo said about the lack of troops, but there is indeed a gap in combat power.
As the core, the shirts are naturally good at fighting, and the big bears are famous for their five scum, and the minds of the Chinese and Vietnamese people are floating, so it is actually not wrong to say that the military strength gap.
But the bad thing is that just now Saito Asanobu still boasted of his martial arts bravery, and he almost fell in love with Yutai.
At this time, the troops are similar, but they deliberately avoid the war, and the shirts don't want to lose face!
Honjo is really helpless on his face, and he secretly hates in his heart, it's too difficult to be a man!
The Sino-Vietnamese region is a mess, it is this group of shirts who make trouble, she can't wipe her buttocks, and now she is still glared at by Saito Asanobu, and she is aggrieved.
Honzhuang really made up his mind that when the governor came, he would definitely ask himself to step down as the governor of China and Vietnam.
What's more, whoever loves to be the governor of China and Vietnam should go! The old lady of this hot buttocks seat is no longer sitting!
She couldn't find a reason to refute it, and the people in the shirt were ridiculed for being afraid of the enemy and cowardice, and it was also a secret surge, which made it difficult for Honjo to refuse.
She sighed and simply stopped talking.
Naoe on the side understands people, and sympathizes with her in his heart, but he doesn't dare to help.
In the case of Honjo's actual dumb fire, Yiyin acted arbitrarily and proposed that when the Yangbei people arrived, they would go out of battle to give them a decision to dismount.
All the Ji warriors had no objections, and the matter was passed.
Yiyin smiled and said to Honjo Minoru.
"My protector has just arrived, and the matter of castle defense still needs a lot of attention from Honjo-sama."
Honjo prostrated himself and said.
"My subordinates are afraid, this is my duty."
After all, it is the greatest common interest of both parties to defend this Tochio City, and no one wants to break up the table.
Then the military council was disbanded, and the families went back to continue preparing for war, and Naoe Kanesu quietly left with the shirts, and Yiyin also pretended not to pay attention.
Naoe and Honjo Minoru can continue to make a deal.
The Governor is still a few days away, and before that, there must not be much division within Tozuo City.
Naoe felt tired, and knew that he couldn't handle Spo Yoshigin, he was too tough.
Then you can only scare and scare the two leaders of the shirts, so that they can recognize the facts and not tear their faces. At least endure it for a few days, and don't affect yourself.
When the governor comes, you can do whatever you like, it's none of my business!
