Chapter 169: Heartbeat

The mountain where the Saga Party was stationed was chosen by Shigehide Suzuki after surveying the terrain.

Three sides of straight cliffs, one side of the gentle slope. The gentle slope is also messy with rocks, and the horizontal wood is knotted, and it is a Jedi with no way out.

Only a living spring is on the mountainside, and there is barely some reason for the garrison.

If it is an ordinary military situation, choosing this place as a garrison must be because the general does not understand the method of military formation.

Although there is a water source on the mountain, it is closed on three sides and there is no way back, and once it is besieged for a long time, sooner or later the morale will collapse.

But when the Ten Rivers army entered Yamato, neither the shogunate army nor the Tsutsui family could threaten her.

Since the role of the Miyoshi Yixing Department to the north is to lure the snake out of the hole, it is inevitable to wait for help according to the danger.

And the Saga people wreaked havoc on the Yamato country in the north-central part of the country, robbing countless grains and grass piled up on the mountains, and there was no shortage of food and water.

Facing the enemy on the one hand, it can best reflect the advantage of the iron cannon barrage to prevent the surprise attack of Koriyama Castle.

Since you don't have to go out, you don't need to worry about being besieged for a long time. Naturally, it was to choose a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and wait for the Ten Rivers army to defeat the Tsutsui family and go north.

At the request of Shigehide Suzuki, the Saga Party strengthened the obstacles on the gentle slope, and the top of the mountain was the main camp shogunate of Miyoshi Yoshiko.

This time, Miyoshi Changqing had no choice but to send his concubine to accompany the Kii people, but he couldn't help but guarantee her safety, so he assigned her thirty elite horses.

When Shigehide Suzuki received the news, he immediately gave the order to let all the skirmishers move closer to here, and then turned around and went up the mountain, asking to see Miyoshi Yoshiko.

Miyoshi Yoshiko was shocked when he heard that Iga's army had arrived.

"What! Why did the Iga people fight for the shogunate? Is the message true? ”

Shigehide Suzuki nodded with a heavy heart and said.

"Sure. I have lost contact with the people of eight villages.

In the last few wars, those who could participate in the war have joined the war. Now the only one who has the strength to attack my Zaga people is Iga.

Besides, if you can kill more than 150 of my Ji samurai in silence, you must be a ninja who is good at assassination. ”

Sanhao Yixing sounds reasonable, it seems that the ten rivers are still miscalculated. The Iga people sent troops, not to help the Miyoshi family, but to stand on the side of the shogunate.

At this point, there is no point in pursuing these things, the question is what to do next.

The strategy of the Ten Rivers One Survival was to wreak havoc on Yamato in the central and northern regions, so that the master of Kofukuji Temple could not bear it, and issued a decree to force Tsutsui Shunkei to fight.

The Ten Rivers Army has been fighting for many years, and once Tsutsui Shunqing no longer stubbornly defends the walled defense line, a rapid rout is inevitable.

Now that the Iga army has entered Yamato, is the strategy of ten rivers and one survival still effective? After all, Miyoshi Yixing is young, and he can't make up his mind for a while.

Shigehide Suzuki saw that she was worried, and said with an expressionless face.

"I have ordered the people of Saga outside to move closer to me and shrink their forces."

"No way!"

Miyoshi Yixing shouted reflexively. Shigehide Suzuki's words stabbed her to a thrill.

"The Iga people are a group of ninjas who are good at lurking and assassinating, and the stragglers are killed. If there is anything wrong with assembling the army, please correct the general. ”

Sanhao Yixing was speechless for a while.

Suzuki Shigehide was right, but the strategy of ten rivers and one survival was to ravage Yamato to Kofukuji and couldn't bear it, which was the key to the rapid war in the south.

This strategy, Suzuki Shigehide understands, Miyoshi Yoshiko also knows, but he can't say it.

Although the samurai society is based on the use of force, the moral rules still exist. There are things that can be done and cannot be said.

Massacre villages, attack temples. This incident seriously penetrates the bottom line of morality, and it is a lack of virtue that offends traditional martial artists and religious nuns to the end.

At the beginning, Miyoshi Yoshiko asked the Saga people to herd sheep, and Suzuki Shigehide could turn a blind eye because the people were too poor.

It's rare to have a chance to earn a vote, and the black pot is still the back of the three good families, so naturally they are pretending to be ignorant.

But the Zaga people did not attack Kofukuji Temple, is it really because they observe the festival? Bottom line?

That's a strict order from Shigehide Suzuki!

Although the Sakaga people have always been religious in their faith, they are incompatible with these traditional sects. But is it possible to destroy temples and Buddhas?

Once things get out of control and Kofukuji suffers a military disaster, it will be a big trouble.

The Dharma Master of Kofukuji belongs to the old school of Shingon Buddhism, one of the main streams of Buddhism, and the Genraiji Temple of the Root Sect is also a Shingon sect, although it is a new school of Shingon Buddhism that has been excluded.

Neraiji Temple and Saga Township each controlled half of Kii Province, and they were named after Nerai and Saga Clan. How do the people of each village choose to stand in line? That's divided by religion.

Once the Saga people slaughtered Kofukuji Temple, who knows if it will cause the wrath of the new Shingon sect.

Although the two factions have long been broken, after all, the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

There is no room for maneuver between the new faction of the Shingon sect and the Ichijo sect in Kii Kuni, and there will inevitably be a civil war.

These religious contradictions within Kii Province are not clear to the Miyoshi family.

This is the reason why the Zaga people have been raging for many days, and Kofukuji Temple is still stable and unharmed, and it is an accident that Miyoshi Yixing and Shihe Ichicun did not expect at all.

Originally, it was not important. Even though Kofukuji Temple is unhindered, the prosperous places of Yamato Province are all in the north-central part of the country.

The Dharma Master was not frightened by the attack, and he couldn't endure it for long. Nuns also need to eat, and they also need land to support, how can they endure their own land being wantonly scattered by the Zaga people.

But the problem is that the Iga army came too quickly, and the Lord could still hold back, and they had already killed them.

At this time, Suzuki Shigehide was also numb, and continued to stay in the north and become a lonely soldier, which was not in line with her always cautious character.

But Miyoshi Yoshiko is the nominal general of the Saga army. is called a general, but he is actually a supervising army. The power of the three good families is still there.,If you really turn your face to the Zahezhong.。。

If nothing else, as long as Sakai Port is instructed to cut off trade with the Saga people, he can break Suzuki Shigehide's backbone and give her a taste of Iga's many years of hard and embarrassing life.

Therefore, Shigehide Suzuki doesn't want to turn his face, he just wants Miyoshi Yoshiko to understand that he can't do anything, and he should retreat in the face of difficulties.

Miyoshi Yoshihei certainly understood what she meant. In the end, the Saga people are not the countrymen in the sphere of influence of the Miyoshi family.

If you really want to turn your face, it will be difficult for the Miyoshi family to punish them, so Huairou is the best policy.

Since the stragglers are no longer possible, then at least ensure that Shigehide Suzuki is still alone in the north and does not retreat south.

As long as the Sakaga people are still in the north, a sharp sword hangs from the head of the Master. Sooner or later, she will still issue a decree to order Tsutsui Shunkei to fight.

Because the nuns were not samurai, they enjoyed the privileges conferred by religion but lacked the obligation to give back to the world. They are more selfish and more life-conscious.

"It's me who is impulsive, Suzuki-sama, don't be surprised."

Miyoshi Yixing first bowed and apologized, lowered his posture, and then said.

"Gather the strength of the army and hold on to it, what does Suzuki-sama think?"

Shigehide Suzuki shook his head, it was taboo for a soldier to go deep alone. Just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Miyoshi Yixing's outstretched hand.

"Suzuki-sama, please listen to me. My Miyoshi family is already the enemy of the samurai family, and I know that it is difficult for you to accept what you say.

When I first saw you, I was also amazed. I didn't expect that among the rude Chinese mercenaries, there were such noble characters. ”

Shigehide Suzuki squinted, not knowing what Miyoshi Yoshiyuki had in mind.

"The general praises."

Miyoshi Yixing shook his head and said.

"I'm not talking nonsense.

The aristocratic style is, to put it bluntly, practice. High-ranking martial artists have learned etiquette since childhood, so as to distinguish themselves from the Chinese people, and think that they are superior.

You imitate the famous family vividly, you must have put in a lot of hard work, and people have practiced and suffered crimes, right?

Without the teaching of famous families, he must have taken a lot of detours by studying hard and practicing hard, and it is inevitable to be ridiculed. ”

Shigehide Suzuki's calm expression gradually drifted into anger.

"Are you saying that I humiliate me?"

Miyoshi Yixing said sincerely.

"You're mistaken.

Who doesn't yearn for a famous family, how can my Sanhao family not struggle like this, what is there to laugh at you.

I just want to tell you that you can't learn it well, no matter how similar you learn, you have to practice it from a young age. ”

Shigehide Suzuki was irritable in his heart.

"What the hell are you trying to say!"

Miyoshi Yoshihei looked into her eyes and persuaded.

"Stay, and leave the people of Saga in the north, and nail them here.

As long as the Miyoshi family wins this battle, I promise you as the daughter of the Miyoshi family. The shogunate will give you the position of guardian of Kii Province.

You will become the lord of a country, a noble family. Your children and grandchildren can learn aristocratic etiquette from a young age, and they will no longer be self-taught like you. ”

Suzuki Shigehide's eyes were red, and his expression was uncertain, this has always been a steady leader of Saga.

The heart is moved.
