Located on the mountain ridge on the west side of Yamate Village, where the Ashida River estuary and the Kamibe Plains meet, there is an ancient castle called Ginzan Castle, which is a sword flag from the Tsunebuta clan and the Kuwana clan of the Tsunebuta clan, which flutters in the breeze. The orange sunset, reflecting the sword in the middle of the white flag, looks mysterious. A team of ashigaru carrying bamboo guns appeared at the head of the city, led by a captain of the ashigaru squad with a loose waist knife in the crotch, and a simple armor that has been boiled and painted with tung oil, just like that, in this kind of low-level samurai home, it is also worth passing on as a family treasure, thinking that when Date Masahiro raised troops, he attacked Shicrabshan City and got such an armor I don't know how happy I am, this ashigaru squad leader is wearing it magnificently, and there is a proud demeanor in his demeanor, as if he is telling others, His ancestors were also wide, and they roamed the narrow corridors around the castle. The straw sandals he wore under his feet, with the chaotic sound of friction, betrayed the predicament of his current life.
The captain of the ashigaru squad saw that there was a person in the team looking around nervously, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, his waist was straight, and his exaggerated body immediately showed a little aggressiveness, plus his face was full of strictness, and he held the handle of the sword, but he had a bit of the momentum of a samurai master, and he just wanted to ask.
The cramped Ashigaru saw that the clue secretly glanced at him, lowered his head and immediately admitted his mistake, then paused for a moment and said, "Brother Kikubei, what is the situation of the Maori army and the Date army in the Kamibe Plains now?" ”
The captain of the Ashigaru squad heard Ashigaru's headless words, his face changed slightly, his mouth was not clean, and he said in a deep voice: "What else can I do?" More than half a month ago, although the Maori family lost a lot of troops in the battle of the Takayagawa Gorge, they lost a little more. But overall, the Date family is still not as good as the Maori family. The two sides are still facing off. I'm afraid it's hard to end before the snow. ”
Several other ashigaru turned their eyes around, as if they were being taught, and the leader of the ashigaru squad grabbed Ashigaru who asked, gritted his teeth and said: "I'm also your brother-in-law, and you bastards, don't ask around, a group of arrogant soldiers just withdrew from the front line a few days ago, be careful of your dogs' lives." ”
Since the Battle of the Takayagawa Gorge, the nearby castles have been very strict. If it weren't for the fact that the Date family hadn't fought back, it would have been a bit quiet and peaceful before, but the closer you got out of Yamate Village to the plains of Kamibe was a different scene, and the streets and alleys were in shambles, all of them were people who fled after being harassed by scattered thieves, mostly old and weak, women and children, and it was simply miserable.
The cramped ashigaru lowered his head and didn't know where the courage came from, and asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, what should I do if the Date Army is called?" ”
The captain of the Ashigaru squad sneered and said coldly, "What else can I do?" According to the current situation. The Maori family was unable to counterattack, but they were able to hold the canyon. It's just that the Maori family is far away after all, and they always have to leave, and once they leave, it's time for the Date family to send troops, hmph, what are you talking about, go and go, patrol. His gaze involuntarily looked in the direction of the castle tower.
The team moved again, and the worry of the captain of the Ashigaru squad was the worry of almost every Bigo countryman, after all, the Maori family was far away, and it was impossible to stay for a long time, and even if they wanted to stay, they had to worry about the danger of their hometown being intercepted, so the first to collapse would not be the Date family, which was close at hand.
Passing through the twisted and narrow corridors, I walked into the protruding building, with red tile roofs, high walls made of gray and neat stones, and a gate wrapped in iron leaves, which was the political core of Silver Mountain Castle, where the current lord Takasu Motozhong worked and lived. In the four eastern counties of Bigo Province, the Sugihara family has the first reputation and appeal, and it also controls the economic and military lifeline of the four eastern counties. But the strongest in Numakuma County is not the Sugihara family, but Takasu Mototada, in Numakuma County, even if it is the Sugihara family, it is a little more fearful.
Takasu Motozhong was also born in the Sugihara family, and is considered the cousin of the current head of the family, Sugihara Xing, whose father and ancestor have been the elders of the Sugihara family since his generation, and when he arrived at Sugihara Xing and moved to the Shenbian Castle occupied by the Yamagina family, he became one of the five commissioners who stayed in Silver Mountain City, and then under his step-by-step conspiracy, the other four commissioners of the same status were either killed in rebellion or surrendered to him, and became a veritable lord of Silver Mountain City five or six years ago, and even Sugigen Xing in Shenbian City had to swallow the bitter fruit.
Takasu Yuanzhong was now staring straight at the ceiling, not far from his seat was a white and tender concubine, sitting lazily on her knees, stretching out her slender fingers, and adding some water to the boiling teapot from time to time. From time to time, the young concubine turned her face sideways, turned her back to the throne Takasu Motozhong, and with her amorous eyes, she glanced deeply at the young military general Sugihara Yorishige who was sitting in the lower position.
After Sugihara Yorishige and the others returned from Date Masahiro, he found an excuse to come to Silver Mountain Castle with great interest, thinking that with the relationship left by his mother and his own incorruptible tongue, he would definitely be able to move Takasu Mototada and accompany him to raise the anti-flag. Takasu Yuanzhong's indifference poured a basin of cold water on his head, Sugihara Yorishige said that it was his illegitimate son, but the amorous Takasu Motozhong is his own son has four or five, not to mention an illegitimate child like Sugihara Yorishige, and he also wants him to accompany Sugihara Yorishige to raise the flag to rebel, with Sugihara Yorishige, he is from, where is the reason that Lao Tzu takes the risk to work for a nameless illegitimate son in vain.
The concubine's eyes, which contained Yun Chou Yu's hatred, hung down, lowered her head, and continued to brew for her husband with her delicate little hands, and from time to time turned towards the young man with provocative eyes, thinking that it must be the power of the city lord that always avoids her, right?
Sugihara Yorishige's face looked very solemn, and he was in the same mood, but he could always feel that there was a look in his back from time to time, he had been in Silver Mountain City for almost five or six days, and Takasu Yuanzhong had an ambiguous attitude that made him very bumpy, and asked again: "Yuan Zhonggong, it is rumored that Anyi is in turmoil in the country, pottery thieves are attacking the rear, and the Maori army is afraid that it will not be long before, once the Maori army leaves, the Date army will definitely take advantage of the weakness, they are well-armed and well-trained, Even the famous Maori army was able to hold on to a narrow road to hold back the Date army's attack. If they return to Anyi Country, they will not be able to hold the Gaoyachuan Gorge by relying on the defeat of the remnants, Shenbian City is their first target, and Yinshan City is their second target. I've calculated, Shenbian City can't be defended, once someone comes to Shenbian City, do you accept it or not? ”
Takasu Yuanzhong was robbed of white by Sugihara Yorizhong for a while, his face was quite a little unbearable, his forbearance was still a little, but he didn't immediately wave his sleeves away, but his face was not very good-looking, and he didn't criticize anything, moved his body slightly, Takasu Yuanzhong changed to a more comfortable sitting position and continued to listen to Sugihara Yorishige.
In essence, Takasu Mototada is not at all worried about the changes in the situation in the country after the departure of the Maori family, whether it is the Maori family or the Date family, they have to rely on these local snakes to rule the place, which is also the survival of every local tyrant who has taken root in the local area for hundreds of thousands of years.
He is not worried about the escape of Sugi Yuan to Yinshan City after the destruction of Shenbian City, what is his attitude, yes, he is not worried at all, his ancestors have been operating in Numakuma County for more than 100 years, he has been operating in Yinshan City for more than ten years, it can be said that the samurai masters of all sizes in Yinshan City are all his people, and no one can order them without him, which is also the capital for him to be able to sit firmly in Yinshan City.
Sugi Yuan Xing didn't come to say it, even if he came, it was only in the thought of Takasu Motozhong, and he could still be presented to the new master as a letter of nomination in exchange for peace, his idea was good, but Sugihara Yorishige, who was caught in the middle, hit the wall again. Sugihara wanted to say more, but seeing the obvious impatience on Takasu Mototada's face, he had to swallow the words that had been talked about countless times over the past few days, and retreated from the castle tower.
Takasu Yuanzhong looked at Sugihara Yorishige coldly and sneered, and sat on the tatami mat without saying a word, the charming concubine didn't know when it was lost, and there was only Takasu Motozhong left in the house, but he didn't go to ask about such a trivial matter, Sugihara Yorishige said rudely, but he also made a truth clear, now the situation is unsustainable, the odds of the Date family are getting bigger and bigger, and it's time for them to think about the way back, and let time pass gradually.
It was the confidant who broke the silence: "Your Highness, a letter from Shenbian City." Takasu Mototada unfolded the letter and read it, and the content was that Sugimoto was in a hurry to order Takasu Mototada to gather troops and horses to go to the Kamibe Plains to resist the Date army. The content of the letter is very tough, Takasu Yuanzhong is not afraid of the prosperity of the Shanyuan, from the letter, Takasu Yuanzhong has already guessed that the city of Shenbian is definitely made miserable by the thieves, and he can't recruit anyone to defend it.
Although the battle of the Takayagawa Gorge broke the myth that the Mori Yuan was invincible, it was still very fearful for the Bigo people who had been under the authority for a long time, and even had some fear.
It's not impossible for Silver Mountain City to hold the threat from Maori Yuan, but once the Date Army doesn't have the intention of sending troops to prepare for Houguo, then he also knows what the consequences will be, this is his main worry, whether he should go to the Shenbian Plains, and if he goes to the mouth of the sheep, there is no room for turnaround, and if he doesn't go, he just gives Sugi Motoxing a good opportunity to sow discord in front of Maori Yuan, and it just gives a good place for the Maori army who wants to urgently need to find a step down to vent their anger.
The henchman saw the change in Takasu Yuanzhong's face, and stepped forward and said softly: "It's not a way for Sugihara Yorishige to stay in the city like this, it's better to give him a little thought, isn't he thinking about raising the flag to rebel, then give him a castle with hundreds of peasants and soldiers, break bricks and lead jade, first, to see the reaction of Maori and Date, and secondly, you can also give Maori Yuan an explanation." ”
Takasu Yuanzhong glanced up at his confidant retainers, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Shibei, you go and bring Sugihara Yorizu over, I want to talk to him!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
