Chapter 80: Rumors
"Idate-sama, there is indeed one more thing in the next, but ......" Goto Kikuni made a look that was difficult to speak, which made Imate Tomokiyoshi very curious, what made this famous general of the Kuroda family difficult to speak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Goto-sama, if you have anything to say, you don't need to cover it up." Tomokiyoshi Imate said.
"Hey! In that case, I'll say it directly, but it's actually about Tomotaka Ide. Goto Kikuni said with some reluctance.
"Oh! Shinsuke, yes? What's wrong with Shinsuke, didn't he just take Minami Hyuga Country, what can happen. ”
"What I want to tell you about is about the seizure of Minami Hyuga Province by Tomotaka Ide."
Hearing Goto Kikuni's words, Imate Yukiyoshi frowned, he vaguely felt that what Goto Kikuni was going to say to him in the future seemed to be likely to be unfavorable to his younger brother's language, so he said solemnly: "Goto-sama, before we went out, my father also specially praised Shinsuke for the matter of Minami Hinata Kuni, and you were also present at the time!" This time he used the tactics of luring the enemy, and he himself took the lead in the battle, annihilating the Southern Hyuga National Alliance Army in one fell swoop at the Rhishida River, which was indeed a very good performance, reflecting a high command ability. ”
"Hey! At that time, it was true that he was in the big tent, but he knew what he was going to say, and it was indeed after that, the night before he went out. ”
"The night before the ...... before the battle"
"Hey! That is, last night, before today's battle, in fact, the news has spread on a small scale. ”
"So a lot of people already know?"
"Hey! Haven't you really heard of it? Goto Keikuni deliberately spoke quietly.
"Heard? What have you heard? , I've been thinking about this battle, after all, it's a rare opportunity for me to lead the army alone, so I'm more concerned about this battle, and I really don't care too much about anything else. Ite, Tomokiyoshi asked, confused.
"That's what I just said, rumors about Tomotaka Ide." Goto Kikuni whispered.
"Rumors of Shinsuke?"
"Hey! It is indeed a rumor about Tomotaka Ide-sama. ”
"Could it be that it's also about the conquest of the Minami-Hinata country?" Imate Yukiyoshi asked.
"Hey! Since you know about the Nan-Hinata Conquest, you should also know about the Battle of the Hishida River, which took place on the Hishida River and decided the direction of the entire Nankyushu Conquest this time! ”
"Hmmm! I know the Battle of the Hishida River, Shinsuke described the entire process of the expedition, the Battle of the Hishida River is indeed very important, and his response is also very reasonable, doesn't this adult also know? Itekiyoshi nodded and said.
"Then you already know that in the southern Hinata country expedition, the battle of the Hishida River is the battle that determines the final direction of the entire battle, so the performance of Lord Imate Tomotaka in the joint battle is also clear to the adults." Goto asked.
"Hmmm! I know that. Iteyu nodded and said.
"In the report of Tomotaka Ide, and in his own description after his return, he himself took the lead in the battle of the Hishidagawa Battle, and defeated the fierce general of the Shimazu family, Kitago Tokihisa, which seriously damaged the morale of the coalition forces. He also used the tactic of luring the enemy, thus defeating the 1,500 army of the Southern Hyuga Country, I don't know if what I said is right? Goto asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what Shinsuke said, but is there anything wrong with that?" Ite, Tomokiyoshi asked suspiciously.
"Of course there's a problem, and that's the problem, Inoite-sama, because I've heard a completely different version of it." Goto Kikuni said solemnly.
"A completely different version, what do you mean?" Itekiyoki asked with a squint, his tone becoming less relaxed.
"If you go back to your lordship, the situation you know is that the coalition forces are in battle on the Hishida River, and when Lord Ide Tomotaka did not listen to the opinions of Inoue no Fang, Takimoto Temple and other adults, he easily launched an attack on the other side with 2,000 people, and he also fell into a bitter battle, and one of the personal guard samurai of Lord Ide Tomotaka died."
"What, this...... This...... How is that possible, Goto-sama, are you sure what you say is true? Imate Tomokiyoshi couldn't believe his ears, because what Goto Kikuni said was a completely different version from what Imate Tomotaka himself said, and such rumors were not conducive to Imate Tomotaka's reputation. As the elder brother, Imate Tomokiyo knows that his younger brother is going to become
"Idate-sama, although this kind of news is completely different from the situation I got before, I am basically sure that what I know should be the version closest to the truth this time." Goto Keikuni said with certainty.
"Is it the truth? If this is really the case, he launched an attack on the opposite side with two thousand people, and the other party set up a formation in a place like Hishida River, obviously in order to launch a tactic of attacking half-crossing, how could Shinsuke rush up with a small number of men and horses in this situation, and he didn't discuss it with the other adults, he really didn't have a brain! ”
"My lord, that's not all, it's said that when you were fighting with the enemy's Kitago-sama Tokiku, there was a situation where you couldn't beat the other party, so you couldn't move forward. At that time, Lord Akashi Quanden came to help and saved the life of Lord Igate Tomoto, but when Lord Akashi Juntobu and Lord Kitago Tokihisa were at war and were in trouble, Lord Imate Tomotaka just stood by and almost caused Lord Akashi to be killed by Lord Kitago Tokihisa. ”
"What, there's such a thing." Ite Tomokiyoshi looked very surprised when he heard this, he knew what kind of person his half-brother was, but at least in terms of martial arts, this younger brother of his was a very proud person, how could he do such a thing?
"Goto-sama, are you sure that the source of the message is accurate? Also Where did you get this news from? Ite Yukiyo asked.
"Idite-sama, I learned the news from one of my subordinates."
"And where did this clan get the news from?" Imate Tomokiyoshi continued to ask.
"This soldier is a native of Iyo Province, and his cousin is also in our army, but this cousin of his is under the command of Hanabo-sama Masayuki, and this subordinate of mine got this news from his cousin."
"That means that this soldier participated in the battle of the Hishida River."
