"A great river with wide waves,

The wind blows the rice and flowers on both sides.

My family lives on the shore,

I'm used to hearing the trumpet of the captain,

I'm used to seeing the white sails on the ship.

This is beautiful Echigo,

It's where I grew up.

……

Friends come and have good wine,

If the jackal comes,

It was greeted with knives and guns!

This is the powerful Echigo,

It's where I grew up.

In this warm land,

Bright sunshine everywhere! ”

At this time, Echigo has already entered the height of summer, and the rice in the fields has already entered the flowering period on both sides of the Shinano River and the Agano River.

Because the shrine maidens of Izumo Shrine and Harumaki Shrine held ceremonies to pray for the blessings and ward off disasters for the people of Echigo, the drought that would have occurred and the locust plague that followed did not occur, and the green rice seedlings grew smoothly.

But at this time, the idle peasants had to face another threat -- that is, war.

Although it is said that being pulled out by the lord to cheer for the generals during the farming slack is already one of the traditional activities of the farmers, most of the time the "peasant soldiers" only need to exert some strength and do not need to bleed, but this time the downstairs ...... No, the tiger at the bottom of the map, the one to the south, seems to be planning to come for real.

It is said that the "Tiger of Kai", Takeda Shingen, has formed the "Kosami-kuni" Imagawa Yoshimoto and the "Lion of Sagami" Hojo Shiyasu to form the "Kosami-suchi Triple Alliance", which has relieved his worries and will raise the country's troops to invade Echigo.

Moreover, she also said that the Ichijo sect forces, which had been suppressed by the previous two generations of the Uesugi family and pursued to Echichu, launched a joint attack on Echigo from both the south and the west, and the Ichijo clan forces were known for their fanatical monks and crowd tactics.

However, the people of Echigo were fearless, and now they were crossing the Shinano River and planning to cross Iiyama Castle and keep the enemy out of the country!

"We only have fifteen generals and seven thousand soldiers, is it really okay?"

Keiji Maeda, who was riding on the unusually tall horse "Matsukaze", looked at the soldiers who were singing Chinese songs to protect their homes and defend the country, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Now she didn't wear the painted skin of the beautiful girl, but showed her true face as a flat-chested little Lori, and she was still holding a huge vermilion spear in her hand, only the white fox skin, snake skin, tiger skin and trinkets hanging all over her body were the same as the beautiful girl's version of Maeda Keiji.

However, for the Uesugi family, who are used to seeing that half-naked woman, seeing this guy with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, most of them will think in their hearts, "Is this Keiji Maeda's child?" ”

What's more, now the "child's father", that is, the husband of "that" Maeda Keiji, is sitting with his daughter on the "Matsukaze" of the unusually tall and divine horse with his glasses, as if he is in a good relationship.

"It should ...... No problem.

Even if Chu Xuan's secret weapon is not as easy to use as he imagined, isn't there still us. ”

Riding on a small, well-framed Arabian horse, Ayagozen looked down at the 300 members of the Echigo People's Army who were men walking in the middle of the marching procession, and his voice seemed a little unconfident.

I don't know why, her eyes have been unconsciously drifting behind the little Lori Maeda Keiji, and Maeda Keiji, who rarely showed her true face, got angry.

"But, damn it, I, I don't want to ride with Chu Xuan!

It's just that this guy is so big that no other horse can carry him except Matsukaze! ”

Little Lori Maeda Keiji's face flushed a little, and she threw her little head back in a huff and hit Chu Xuan's chest.

However, she actually didn't use any force at all, otherwise with the strength of the general, Chu Xuan would undoubtedly be knocked out of the horse directly.

"Don't worry, I'll go down when it's time to fight."

Chu Xuan, who was sitting behind Keiji Maeda, pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and said lightly.

Not preparing the horse was not Chu Xuan's mistake, but because it was difficult to find a horse suitable for the "great man" Chu Xuan, who was one meter eight tall, in Yueben, and most of the horses who were qualified to ride horses were either military generals or high-ranking female warriors, because few people noticed the problem of the small size of the horse.

Similarly, due to the general petite figure of Asian female surnames, tall horses like "Matsukaze" are not common in this book or even in the whole of Asia.

"Hmph, even if you don't go down then, I'll kick you down!

Carrying on your big guy, even if it's 'Matsukaze', the speed is obviously a lot slower. ”

Little Lori Maeda Keiji seemed to mumble a little unpleasantly, but if there was only such a small girl on the back of the unusually tall "Matsukaze", it would be possible to run as if it was about to fly.

And on this high-speed charging horse, little Lori Maeda Keiji danced a huge red spear, which will definitely be able to cut the many miscellaneous soldiers in front of him in two like chopping melons and vegetables.

"In front of you is the realm of Shinano, be careful of the Takeda family's Togakure ninja."

Kenshin-chan, who was riding on his beloved horse "Releasing Moon Hair", instructed the half-blood female ninja Haru-sa with a serious face, so the half-blood ninja Haru-sa disappeared from her horse in an instant, and she should have gone to investigate the surrounding situation in person.

"My lord, after we get to the Zenko-ji Temple in front, should we go and pay a visit?"

Naoe, who was carrying an ordinary little black horse, reminded him, but after thinking about it, Kenshin Chan shook his head.

"We didn't go to Zenko-ji Temple, and we faced Shingen head-on at the junction of Shinano and Echigo.

Even if we suspect that we have some conspiracy, Shingen, who is twice as large as us, will definitely come to fight us quickly.

There is a cloud in "The Art of War": "All those who fight, with the right together, with the odd victory." ’

But Shin Xuan must be confident that no matter what conspiracy we have, she can take advantage of the huge advantage in the number of generals and soldiers to defeat us at the 'positive' stage, and not give us the opportunity to use 'Qi'.

--Actually, if I hadn't seen the power of those 'secret weapons' with my own eyes, I would have thought the same. ”

In this world, the people who know you best are often your enemies, and Kenshin-chan knows her opponent Takeda Shingen very well, and Takeda Shingen has also known her in the past.

But now it's different, with such a huge variable as "Chu Xuan", I wonder if Takeda Shingen can imagine the changes he brings beyond human imagination?

--Thinking of this, the corners of Kenshin-chan's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he looked at Shinano in the distance with mountains in the distance, as if he wanted to see Kai all the time. (To be continued.) )
