Although Fukushima Sukeharu died, the balance of victory and defeat had completely tipped in Jingzhen's side, the 30-fold difference in strength still created a small problem for the victory. After half a night of fighting, the sporadic resistance finally subsided, and the remnants of the Fukushima Army finally broke away from the battlefield and fled south along the Fuji River.

At this time, the sky was faintly clear. On the scattered river beaches washed away by the flash floods, soldiers and civilians began to do their best to treat the wounded and collect the corpses. The surrounding area was filled with the smell of blood and burnt, and the heavy red was still pouring out from under the mountains of corpses, and gradually gathered into a gurgling stream and poured into the Fuji River at the feet of everyone, inlaid a blood-colored tassel for the rolling white waves.

Jingzhen rolled over from the horse with difficulty, threw down the blood-stained riding spear, and stood at the highest point of the battlefield, exhaling a long turbid breath. In front of him, a torch that had been knocked over in a scuffle was still burning, illuminating his countenance.

"Your Highness, the Fukushima Army has been defeated, and now there are no more formed armies in Suruga and Enoe. We should take advantage of this victory and pursue and seize Fuji County, which borders our home! No matter how bad it is, it should put on a posture of invading Junfu and solidarity with the frontal battlefield of the hall master! ”

Hearing Naito Masatyo's words, Jingzhen turned his gaze back from the battlefield, shook his head and said:

"It's that the strength of Anayama Izu Mamoru is still there, and it is also a fantasy to want to seize the first county of Imagawa."

"The Armies have been at war for generations, but they have always maintained the integrity of their respective realms, and they would rather fight to the death than use an inch of land to make peace. Why? Just because the three families know that they use the land to fund the enemy, for example, they still hold on to the salary to fight the fire, and if the salary is not enough, the fire will not be extinguished. As long as there is a retreat, there will be a second and a third, and in the end it will inevitably be the destruction of the country. ”

"Therefore, just as the Pavilion Master's reckless military force is also necessary to be tough with the Imagawa Hojo family, if we try to cut off an inch of Suruga's mountains and rivers, we will be subjected to the fiercest, most crazy, and most tenacious counterattack of the Imagawa clan!"

"As for the victorious march, the Fukushima Army also planned to do the same after defeating the Anayama people, and the results are self-evident. It is not so much that we are the same, but rather that it is the ambition that is not commensurate with the strength that knocked down Fukushima Sukeharu, how can we not learn from it. ”

"Your Highness Mingjian, it is not well thought out."

Jingzhen smiled and patted Naito Masato's shoulder, and said to Nagasaka Nobumasa and the others who came one after another

"You are all responsible for the victory in this battle! But after the war, we will continue to work hard! ”

"Fuji staff, send people to report the success of Shimoyama Castle (Anayama Castle), Heshisakikan and Iwadenba Castle, and ask His Highness Izu Mamoru Anayama to send troops to recover the castles along the way, in case the enemy comes back."

"Changfeng, order the people to cooperate with the soldiers to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield and search and rescue the wounded. They were also tired all night, and after they went back, they were rewarded with two hangings, so that they could warm up their bodies with some wine. ”

"Jiurou and Takamatsu, order the soldiers to speed up the treatment and collect the dead and wounded comrades, and all the dead on our side will be transported back to the territory for burial, and the enemy dead will dig a large pit in the nearby land and bury them on the spot to avoid the plague caused by the warming climate."

"In addition, whether it is a folk man, a soldier or a samurai, all pick-ups and pick-ups are all handed over and registered and registered, and then distributed uniformly when the meritorious deeds are rewarded, and the private collectors are engaged in military law!"

"As for the prisoners, all the samurai are taken back to the territory and carefully screened, and those who are willing to surrender are brought back to the territory for resettlement, assessment, and then transferred to the army or transferred to civilian registration, and those who do not want to be released and distributed a small amount of dry food, so that they can return south along the Fuji River on their own!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took their own orders, and Jingzhen continued to look at the battlefield from afar, looking at the figure that was less than half of the time when he started, the stiff face of the dead and the sad expression of the living, and the black-clothed ninja who was bandaging his wounds alone...... All kinds of emotions overflowed his chest, and he finally couldn't help the impulse, raised his hands and shouted below:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're going home!"

"Wow!"

While Jingzhen led this army, which was all wounded and severely reduced, to return to the territory alone to bury the dead and comfort the living, the aftermath of the battle gradually rippled and turned into a vortex that stirred up the stalemate on the frontal battlefield.

Seizing the wonderful opportunity of the Imagawa clan's small setback, Takeda Nobuta, who had long been tired of the long-term confrontation, did not hesitate to launch the Great Summoning Technique, and specially summoned his hardcore ally and Takeda clan's eternal good friend in the territory of the Hojo clan, the head of the Ogiya Uesugi clan and the Uesugi repair doctor Asahei.

Holding the strongest treasure that is enough to command the heroes of the Kanto region, the two strongest branches of the Uesugi clan, Ogiya Uesugi and Yamauchi Uesugi, naturally could not escape the laws of the Warring States Period, and fell into a long period of civil strife for power. During the decades of chaos between the two sides, the Hojo clan, who was regarded as a servant of both sides, took the opportunity to instigate and exacerbate the turmoil, and quietly stole Sagami and half of Musashi, which had belonged to both sides.

Brothers are against the wall and outside to resist their insults. Although they still don't like each other, Ogiya Uesugi and Yamauchi Uesugi find it even more difficult to tolerate the former house slaves turning over and becoming the masters, so they establish a united front against the Hojo clan.

"As long as I go against the Hojo clan, I'll be the best friend of my Uesugi family in Yamauchi (Ogiga)." Adhering to this point of view, Ogiya Uesugi quickly set his sights on the Kai Takeda clan, who was strong and strong, and repeatedly argued with the Hojo clan. However, the Takeda clan was already a good friend of his rival Uesugi in the head of the mountain, so Ogiya Uesugi did not hesitate to swing his hoe and dig up the corner.

In order to tempt the scumbag Takeda Shintora to change his mind, Ogiya Uesugi began an extremely limitless operation. Taking advantage of the fact that the former Kanto governor and the head of the Yamauchi Uesugi clan, Uesugi Kenkuan, had just died, and his successor, Uesugi Kenmasa, was young (that is, the benevolent brother who took Nagao Keitora as his adopted son and transferred the Kanto clan to the Nagao clan), Uesugi Asakei, the head of the Ogiya Uesugi clan, forcibly recalled his aunt, who was also the widow of Uesugi Kenkuan and the stepmother of Uesugi Kenmasa, from the Uesugi family and sent it to Kai Province to serve as a side room for Takeda Nobuto. (Note 1)

Succeeded in becoming a Cao thief once, Takeda Nobuta was overjoyed, and immediately turned his back on the traditional friendship with the Yamauchi Uesugi clan and turned to Uesugi Asakō of the Ogiya Uesugi clan. This also aroused the dissatisfaction of important ministers such as Iitomi Huchang, and induced the "great chaos in the country of Xianglu" described many times above.

In addition to donating his aunt, Uesugi Asakō took the opportunity to cause trouble in the Hojo clan many times when Takeda Shintora was at war with the Hojo clan, helping Takeda Shintora.

Therefore, after receiving another request for help and gold from Takeda Nobuta, Uesugi Asakō did not live up to expectations, and took advantage of the stalemate of the prime minister to send his family's important minister, Ota Shiyori, the lord of Iwatsuki Castle, to lead an army to attack and recover his old territory, Edo Castle.

Edo Castle was an important fulcrum for the Hojo clan to invade Musashi, and it was once the nest of the Uesugi clan for many years, and once it was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Hojo clan hurriedly returned to the rescue and only left his close ally Imagawa clan under Gotemba Castle and Takeda Shintora staring wide-eyed.

The Fukushima Army, which had high hopes, had already played GG, and its unreliable allies had dropped at the speed of light. Under the sharp drop in morale, Imagawa Shihui said that he didn't dare to go against the fierce man Takeda Shintora alone, and in desperation, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

However, at this time, only Shinano was the only one who made Takeda Nobuta think about it, and he did not want to lose his troops on the Imagawa clan, which could be defeated but could not be killed, so he chose to collect his troops and return to the city after only a short pursuit.

Jingzhen's hard work also deservedly became the first merit of this battle, and he was sealed with 3,000 stones in Zhongju Mojun. Carelessly, he was attacked by the Fukushima army, and his obedient son-in-law Nobutomo Anayama, who almost caused a catastrophe, was also punished to leave 15,000 koku (see Chapter 34) from the Imai clan, who had not yet warmed up, and the remaining 12,000 koku were unexpectedly smashed on the head of Ganli Hutai.

……

In the afternoon, in the courtyard of the house, two figures, one black and one red, each holding spears, continued to fight, and the collision of spears sounded, which was extremely harsh. After a hundred moves, the red figure gradually disappeared, and the dancing spear shadow was suppressed smaller and smaller. After more than ten moves, with a tooth-sore friction, the spear in the hand of the red figure was finally swung out, and the person also took advantage of the situation to jump out of the circle.

"It's not comparable, it's not comparable! Big brother is such a freak, obviously his brain is much better than mine, and he still has so much strength, it's really infuriating! ”

"Haha, Jiurou, you don't know. Innate divine power is also very annoying, for example, no matter how heavy a weapon is, it will be too light after a while. I guess I won't be able to fix it until I stop growing in a few years. ”

The red shadow and the black shadow are naturally Nagasaka Nobumasa and Keizada, respectively. Listening to Jingzhen's speech that can be called Versailles, Nagasaka Nobumasa couldn't help but be very speechless, through his continuous fighting experience, he has obviously won the essence of family marksmanship, ten times stronger than when he left Kyoto, and he has broken through the famous reputation of "Blood Gun Jiulang" in the army, but he is still no match for Jingzhen, who is busy governing the territory all day long, but inexplicably gives birth to a divine power.

What's even more infuriating is that in addition to surpassing his marksmanship, this pervert is also good at using swords, and the Shinto stream with one hand is also becoming more and more profound, and now he even has the spare time to ask Yokota Takamatsu for archery.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I simply didn't want to. Nagasaka Nobumasa then put down the topic and brought up another matter.

"How can the hall master be like this, His Royal Highness clearly revealed his name, defeated the entire army of the Fukushima clan with more than 100 people, and even personally won the enemy's general, and actually only got a reward of 3,000 stones. It is really unfair that His Royal Highness Gan Libei has not made an inch, but he has received the greatest benefit! ”

"Haha, Jiulang doesn't understand, I have to be punished by His Royal Highness Yama Izu Shou, which is the result of this battle, which can be described as fair. As for the sealing of His Royal Highness in front of Gan Libei, it is a different matter! ”

"What's that?"

"The owner of the hall has temporarily stabilized both the east and the west, this is to use troops against Shinano! His Royal Highness Ganli is about to serve as the banner of the northward invasion, so he naturally has to increase his strength. ”

"Oh"

In the quiet spring light of the afternoon, a new storm has emerged.
