Chapter Forty-Seven: The Passionate City Lord

On the other side, Matsunaga Hide, with his own army of 3,000, has been pursuing the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause of the previous obstruction of Nishiki Yoshimasa, it took too much time, and all the generals still escaped smoothly to the territory of the Rokkaku family.

Matsunaga Hide's army pursued the general until he came to Otsu Castle, which was already relatively close to the core area of the Rokkaku family. The Rokkaku family only got the news that the general was being chased and that the Miyoshi family had invaded their territory.

For the general, a big burden that has come to dodge, the governor of the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Yoshiji, is not interested at all. But now the Miyoshi family has directly brought people to their own territory, and they are almost hitting not far from themselves, is this still necessary?

Therefore, Rokkaku Yoshiji finally had a reaction, and the family governor Rokkaku Yoshiji personally brought a temporary patchwork of 5,000 people to Otsu Castle. At this time, the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru had already entered Otsu Castle with more than 400 of his shogunate army.

After all, it was in the territory of the Rokkaku family, and Matsunaga Xiu's base camp, Guixin Mountain Castle, was in the city of Yamato, and he was not prepared to abandon it. Therefore, Matsunaga Xiu is not ready to attack the Rokkaku, it is his own soldiers who lose and die, and if he wins and lays down the land, in the end he will only be cheaper than the three people. This kind of loss-making business will not be done by Matsunaga Shu.

After hearing that the Rokkaku family had sent troops, Hosaku looked at the walls of Otsu Castle and the shogunate army that had been waiting for him, and Matsunaga Shu immediately withdrew to Yamashiro Province with a large army. And in order to prevent the three of Miyoshi from attacking him, Matsunaga Xiu directly and quickly passed through the mountain city country, retreated to the mountain city of Guixin, and held his own territory.

As for the unlucky shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he was once again thrown by the Rokkaku family to Sakamoto Castle, where he was already more familiar.

After entering Tanba Province with his subordinates, Kuroda Vocational High School finally passed through Hosono Castle in the hands of the Naito family after a short rest in the wilderness. Immediately after that, everyone followed the Oi River and came to its upper reach, which is also the upper part of the castle in Kuwata-gun, in the northern part of Tanba Province.

The lord of Kamidaka Castle is the Toi family, who is good friends with the Naito family, and its head Toi Katsugan is also a loyal dog leg of Naito Munekatsu. After knowing this person's position through the information of the Tongxin people, Kuroda Vocational High School and his party did not dare to stop, and immediately continued to rush to the west.

After that, he went all the way west to Hiokino Castle managed by Rieto Ueno Zenemon, who was an ordinary wealthy clan of Tanba Province, and owned the land of 800 stone around Hiokino Castle, and could mobilize more than 80 people at most, and most of these 80 people were his relatives.

When Kuroda Vocational High School came here, it was a coincidence that Ritsu Ueno was working in the fields with the people. When he saw that Kuroda Vocational High School and a group of more than a dozen people, all of them were fully armed, he was first shocked, and then he was afraid that these people would be bad for the territory.

"Who are you? What did you do when you came to my Hichino Castle? Ritsu Ueno bravely took the hoe and stood up and asked.

"We're just passing through, and we don't have any ill will toward this territory." Kuroda said.

In Kuroda's opinion, Rieto Ueno is just an ordinary farmer, so he just wants to say a few words casually and not arouse the hostility of the other party, after all, there is a lot of tiger falling into Pingyang now.

"I don't think a few adults are ordinary people, they must be famous samurai, right?" Ritsu Ueno asked.

"Fame is dispensable, and our name is not worth mentioning." Kuroda said with a smile.

"Wait, you guys, I'll see, nineteen people, isn't it, isn't it...... You are the famous Kirin of the Western Kingdom, the unparalleled general of the Western Kingdom, and the Kuroda Vocational High Master who has repeatedly defeated the Maori family. Ritsu Ueno said with some surprise at this time.

It seems that the news of the death of the celebrity Kuroda Vocational High School has really spread!

"Exactly, I'm just passing through here, please don't tell this news, I'll repay you in the future." Kuroda said.

"What did Kuroda-sama say? We are in the middle of nowhere, and we have never seen such an amazing character as adults! Rieno was very excited when he said this.

"I still need to hurry now, so don't go through it here." Kuroda said politely.

At this time, Ueno Ritsu put down the farm tools in his hand and walked to the front of Kuroda Vocational High School, just when Takayu Musato was about to pull out his gun and step forward, Ueno Ritsu half-knelt and said: "Ueno Ritsu, the lord of Hiokino Castle here, has always longed for the rule of the Kuroda family, but he has never had this opportunity. This time Kuroda-sama is here, please be sure to come to my castle to rest, and let me entertain all of you, which is a wish of the next one. ”

In the face of Rietsu Ueno's enthusiasm, Takatomo Musato and Kyojiro Mibu seemed a little hesitant, after all, it was not in the land of the Kuroda family now, and Tanba Province had gone all the way, and they found that things were not as simple as they thought.

They originally thought that as long as they entered the Tamba country, only the southeast would be the territory of the Naito family, but after walking for a day, they realized that the Naito family could still control some of the wealthy people in the tamba country. Some of them were loyal courtiers who guarded the Naito family in the previous Tanba country, and some were wall-to-wall grasses who hoped to profit from the Miyoshi family. But in any case, the influence of the Naito family on Tanba Province is indeed far greater than Kuroda Vocational High School expected.

But now the lord of Hiokino Castle, who seems to be an ordinary person, has sent an invitation to Kuroda Vocational High School, and it is normal for them to be undecided. Who knows if he is a vassal force of the Naito family, if he enters the city and is attacked by him again, these dozen people will be planted here.

"I believe in you, you can lead the way!" At this time, Kuroda Vocational High School said with a smile at Ritsu Ueno.

After Takatomo Musato and Kyojiro Mibu finished talking about Kuroda Vocational High School, they didn't react. What, the young master actually agreed to go to that Hiki Wild City? However, based on their trust in Kuroda Vocational High School, the group still suppressed the doubts in their hearts and prepared to enter the city with Kuroda Vocational High School.

Kuroda Vocational High School was very interested in people's micro-expressions in his previous life, so he knew a little bit about it. For this Ueno Ritsu just now, some subconscious small actions have been seen. He knew that this Rieno Rito should not be a liar, because he was very excited, and it was difficult to fake the kind of expression that the little girl in the future would show when she saw the idol of the Goryeo Kingdom.
