At Kamiwada Castle in Eita County, Mikawa Province, the Okubo family was besieged by the 3,000 army of Ichimune. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kamiwada Castle in Nuta-gun is located in the middle of the entire Mikawa Province, not far from Gasaki Castle, and is the ancestral residence of the Okubo family, a powerful family of the Mikawa Province and a genealogy retainer of the Matsudaira family. In this Mikawa has always been the same, as a lineage of the Matsudaira family, and a loyal minister of the Okubo family, he has indeed shown unparalleled loyalty from the beginning.

After Kamiwada Castle learned of the news that Anxiang Castle might be attacked, the head of the family, Okubo Tadashi, made a decisive decision and decisively sent Okubo Tadashi and fifty clan soldiers to Anxiang Castle to serve under the command of the lord Matsudaira Motoyasu.

In the current situation where the Ichijo sect is raging, because the Okubo family does not yield to the Ichijo sect, they are surrounded by 3,000 Ichijo sect believers. The fierce general of the family, Okubo Tadayuki, took thirty-six people out of the city to face the Ichijo Sect, although he was finally ambushed by the Ichijo Sect and shrouded in horse leather, but at least it showed the attitude of the Okubo family, even if the Okubo family died, they would never surrender to the Ichijo Sect.

Judging from the current situation, the Okubo family's Kamiwada Castle is extremely dangerous, after all, there are not even 200 people in the castle now, and there are 3,000 rabble outside the castle. On the surface, it is dangerous, but in fact, this is not much different from the situation faced by the Okubo family when Mikawa has always been in the same place in history, and the variable is that there are fifty concentric people from the Kuroda family led by Nakashinobu Oi Shinhachi outside the city, and then there is the unlucky guy Okubo Tadayuki who died.

The five hundred concentric members of the Kuroda family, led by Fujibayashi Hotoyo, scattered and lurked, and traveled day and night, and finally came to the territory of Mikawa Province shortly after the beginning of the first time.

This time, in addition to leaving the necessary personnel to protect the key personnel, almost all of them went out to the Three Rivers Country. In order to accomplish the task assigned by Kuroda Vocational High School, the middle and high-level ninja leaders of the Tongxin Crowd can be said to be fully prepared this time.

Because Mikawa Province and Owari Province were originally the focus of Kuroda's vocational high school requirements, the retainers of the Matsudaira family who were targeted this time, almost all of the Kuroda family had more detailed information, who followed the Ichisuzune and who was in the peaceful city, almost all knew it. Therefore, after entering the country of the three rivers, after assigning their respective tasks, the team of five hundred people dispersed and went to the prey.

In addition, one of the best skills of the Concentric is camouflage, which has been vividly reflected in the previous night attacks of the Kuroda family's Concentric Force. So soon, the five hundred men managed to blend into the ranks of both sides and set their sights on their respective prey.

The target assigned by Oi Shinpachi this time, in addition to the Okubo clan in the castle, there are also two people, Beehouse Sadaji and Natsume Yoshinobu who are in the Ichizong array at this time.

And Okubo Tadyuki, who had just died, was the handiwork of Oi Shinpachi, and it was the three iron cannon masters he arranged to sneak attack the target together, killing Okubo Tadayuki on the spot, and there was no chance to turn over.

Not to mention the Okubo family, they were important genealogical retainers of the Matsudaira family and even the later Tokugawa family, and continued until the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, and they were extremely loyal. So loyal to the retainers of the Matsudaira family, how could Kuroda Vocational High School let them stay. Therefore, in order to eradicate the Okubo family, it is not too much to send out a luxurious lineup of concentrics with five middle ninja and the number of people reaching fifty.

As for the two people in the Ichijo clan team outside the castle, Beehouse Sadaji and Natsume Yoshinobu are also the future ministers of the Matsudaira family, one is one of the sixteen Tokugawa gods in the original history, and the other is a loyal person who is willing to be a shadow samurai for Tokugawa Ieyasu and finally sacrifice his life for the queen of the palace. If they can be eliminated by the way, it will definitely not be a small blow to the Matsudaira family in the future. At least if there is another tripartite war, who will be the shadow samurai for Tokugawa Ieyasu and give him the queen? Even if someone comes forward, it will be one more death!

In the camp of the Ichijo sect, a military meeting was going on at this time, and the initiator was the nominal general Shanggongji Kongyan sent by the Shanggong Temple. This Shanggong Temple Kongyan is still a relatively normal monk, he is more kind, he doesn't like to fight, and this kind of character is not suitable for being the chief general of an army.

But this Shanggong Temple is a member of the Sanhe Kingdom, and now there are few empty monks in the sect, and the qualifications and seniorities of the people are placed there, and now the host of the Shanggong Temple sees him, and he also bows and respectfully calls his uncle.

The second is to talk about the character of this Shanggong Temple, it is precisely because of his kind personality that he basically has a good relationship with several major Ichizong temples in Mikawa Country, so everyone has to sell him a penny.

To put it bluntly, this Shanggong Temple Kongyan is the kind of so-called person of high morality, at least within the Sanhe Country, otherwise he would not have been sent out as the commander of an army, and he would have been able to raise an army of more than 3,000 people from scratch with his usual prestige in a period of time.

Here is the third time I want to talk about the character of Kamiyaji Sonobu, precisely because he doesn't like fighting, although he also hates the attitude of the Matsudaira family to infringe on the rights of the Ichisuji clan, and he personally raised a large army. But he is very self-aware, he knows that he can't lead troops to fight at all, and it may be okay to memorize the scriptures by himself, and this is definitely to go up to the battlefield to deliver food, and at the same time, it is likely to cost the lives of the three thousand believers who trust him.

Fortunately, he has a wide range of people, knows many people, and has many believers, and the advantage of having many believers is that there is no need to worry about the lack of talents, especially in a place like the Three Rivers Country, which has always been a common sect.

Not to mention, he happened to know Beehouse Sadaji and Natsume Yoshinobu, the two of them are still his loyal fans, these two people are very devout to the belief in the Ichijo Sect, so under the persuasion of the Kamiya Temple Kuyan, it was easy to join the team of the Ichijo Sect, and at the same time, the Kamiya Temple Kogen appointed the Bee House Sadaji as the commander-in-chief of the believers, and Natsume Yoshinobu as the deputy commander, and he became a nominal general himself, preaching Buddhism to the believers every day to boost morale.

At this time, in the big tent, in addition to the Kaminomiya Temple Sonobu who was sitting on the top, and the bee house Sadaji and Natsume Yoshinobu on his left and right hands, there was also a monk and a small head and five ground samurai.

"Master Kongyan, let's attack the city directly! We have 3,000 of them, and we can conquer them. The little head of the monk shouted excitedly. (To be continued.) )
