readx; Since the fall of the wooden castle and the news of the embarrassment of the wooden castle came, the castle of Okochi immediately strengthened its defenses, and the castle was heavily guarded, and the samurai in the castle wiped their weapons and glanced at the direction of the castle tower from time to time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kitabatake, the owner of the castle tower, wiped his beloved sword, unaware of the noisy voices in the conference room, and wondered what to do next. Kitabatake Gukyo is the ruler of Ise Province, the ruler who is about to be ousted, Ise Kuniji.

The Kitabatake family is based on the many smells in southern Ise and is the Sengoku daimyo of the Megatron Ise country. From the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they were loyal to Emperor Go-Daigo and became the pillars of the Southern Dynasty to compete with the Ashikaga clan, and were one of the "Three Kingdoms Divisions" appointed by the imperial court and had real power. The Kitabatake family has a strong strength, even after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu unified the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he could not pull out this thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh, and could only use the means of wooing to maintain relations, and of course, there was a lot of sand mixed in Kita-Ise.

Despite this, the Kitabatake family still had a taste for enemies with the Ashikaga shogunate of the Northern Dynasty, and they rebelled repeatedly. The shogunate was afraid of their power and had to issue pardons again and again. From the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Kitabatake family began with its roots in southern Ise and expanded to the central and northern regions, and by the time of its taught grandfather, the Kitabatake family, it had become a veritable Sengoku daimyō. From the first generation of the Kitabatake family to the time of the Kitabatake family, it is already the eighth generation, and it is also the era closest to the unification of Ise Province.

If it weren't for the sudden rush of the raptor Mitsuhide Akechi, the Kitabatake family, which has accumulated more than a hundred years, would probably unify the northern and southern Ise provinces, of course, the people of the Kitabatake family obviously did not expect the world outside of Ise to change so quickly and variously.

With a "clang", Kitabatake Gujiao put down the famous knife in his hand, and the conference room suddenly became quiet, he was a lord who was deeply loved by his subordinates, and he was also a rather majestic lord, he thought for a long time, and his eyes turned to the Japanese meal.

Rizhi Dashan is in his twenties, handsome, tall, and heroic, sitting in the hall at the moment, just now he is the most low-key, taciturn, but the pair of eyes that pass a few rays from time to time can hardly hide his rebellious nature. Historically, it was this Ai general of the Kitabatake Gujiao who cut off the head of the previous lord, and then killed more than 100 people from the Hokuhata clan one after another, which was quite active. A few years later, after the return of Kitabatake's relatives to the customs, he raised the flag in Mori Castle in Iitaka County, and the Hioki Oshan brothers were quite active.

Kitabatake Gukyo beckoned to Hioki Daizen, let him come closer, and asked, "The wooden castle has fallen, and what is the number of wise troops who have crossed the Kumoide River?" What's going on? ”

Kitabatake Gujiao is in Okochi Castle, so it is natural to send a large number of spies to spy on the movements of the wise army. Fortunately, the Kitabatake family has been in business for nearly two hundred years, and it is not a food eater, and there are a large number of spies in various places, although the arrival of the wise army drove away many villages, but there are still many people who are interested in the Kitabatake family to stay and hold on, and the information is still timely.

The status of the Japanese meal is not obvious, the ministry is not low, and the full-time spy on the enemy. He replied respectfully: "The number is about six or seven thousand, and the same number has returned to the north, it should be Suzuka Pass is urgent, and the regent is really a believer, but whether the wise Mitsuhide has left or not, and the ministers are incompetent and difficult to explore." ”

Another participant in the Mise Revolution, Nagano Sakyo, interjected: "In this way, Suzuka Pass should be attacked very urgently now, but I don't know what the situation of Suzuka Pass is, if Suzuka Pass is breached, or if there is a good opportunity to counterattack the wooden castle,"

In the Mise Rebellion, the two ends of the first rat first signed the oath to kill Gujiao, and when it was actually implemented, Okuyama Chitada, who became a sick monk, said: "Suzuka Pass has been operated by the Guan clan for many years, and the Wise Army has repaired it, and the checkpoint is strong. Date sent a large army to attack, if there is no help, although it is only a matter of time before it falls, it is no problem to hold on for more than a month, plus the wise army that returned to the rescue, it is delusional to break the Suzuka Pass and threaten the rear of the wise army, it is better to be realistic! ”

Now that the news that Suzuka Pass has been broken cannot be transmitted, Akechi Mitsuhide sends his beloved cavalry out to chase and intercept the flow of news, blocking the sources of information in Okochi Castle and turning the people of Okochi Castle into blind cages.

Fujikata Asanori, who was accused of disloyalty by his father, nodded and agreed: "The wise army's plot to the south is not a one-day plan, and the rebellion of Nagano Kudo is not a whim, Suzuka Pass is strong, and the wise Mitsuhide is a treacherous person, why did he divide his troops and return to the north to rescue?" ”

Fujikata Chaocheng's words are the words of the old man, although they don't admit that Akechi Mitsuhide's intellectual calculations are a cut above them, but the facts are there, and there is no way to admit it. Akechi Mitsuhide knew that Suzuka Pass could not be breached in the short term, so why did he rush to divide his troops? The implication is nothing more than to lure the Kitabatake family to think that it is a good time to counterattack, send troops to the field, and then finish the battle. Otherwise, it will be impossible to conquer the castle in a short period of time.

Time is very important for both Akechi Mitsuhide and Okochi Castle, Akechi Mitsuhide wants to defeat Kitabatake Gukyo in a short time and complete the unification of the north and south, only to lure Kitabatake Gukyo to send troops to fight in the field, that is to say, Akechi Mitsuhide has to win quickly, and Kitabatake Gukyo has to compete patiently and hold to the end. The way of offense and defense lies in the slowness, the speed of attack, and the slowness of defense.

Kitabatake Gujiao nodded and said, "There is a three-point truth, but he underestimated me, but since I know that he will not send troops, doesn't he know, although Akechi Mitsuhide is a person who is immoral and disloyal, but he is not a stupid and stupid mediocre person, could it be that he has any backhand?" "The Kitabatake family is not interested in the Ashikaga shogunate, but it can be said that Akechi Mitsuhide's escape from the battle led to the defeat of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and finally led to the demise of the Ashikaga shogunate, and it is not a lie to say that he is a person who is immoral and disloyal.

Everyone thought that Suzuka Pass could not be broken for a while, and naturally the more they guessed, the more wrong they became, and they took the horns and finally found nothing, and after thinking and meditating, the Kitabatake family finally came to the conclusion that they were sitting in Okochi Castle and waiting for the situation outside to change.

The information of Okochi Castle is lagging behind and does not know the news that Suzuka Pass has been broken, and the upper echelons of Muzuku Castle all know the bad news of Suzuka Pass, and the fact that Akechi Mitsuhide has left.

Nagano Fujita's face was very ugly, and his eyes were also gloomy, he believed the words of Akechi Mitsuhide, expelled the adopted son of Kitabatake, and completely severed the relationship with Kitabatake. Hearing that the wooden castle had fallen, he sent out to help in the war, but he was deceived and sold by Akechi Mitsuhide.

The bad news of the destruction of Suzuka Pass, Nagano Fuji learned about it when he arrived at Kizukujo, and was told that Suzuka Pass fell eight days ago, which means that four days before he went out to help in the battle, Akechi Mitsuhide deceived him into boarding the ship by concealing him.

Nagano Fujitashi did not go to rebuke Mizoo Shigeto, the deputy general of the Akechi Army who stayed behind in the wooden castle, and Mizoo Shigerata was able to stand out from the crowd and serve as the acting general of Akechi Mitsuhide, not because Mizoo Shigeru was accustomed to fighting, but because he was the first person among the many genealogies to be loyal to Akechi Mitsuhide. He pondered for a while, and quickly sorted out his thoughts, he knew that even if he went to scold Mizoo Shigeru now, or scolded Akechi Mitsuhide in person, not only would it not help, but it would make a gap between the two sides, forcing Akechi Mitsuhide to go outside and inside.

After a long silence, Nagano Fuji pointed to his right-hand uncle, Hosono Fujimitsu, and his younger brother, Yunlin Yuan Yuki, and asked, "What should I do next?" ”

Hosono Fujimitsu and Yunlin Yuan Yuki are not famous outside, and they are still quite comfortable in Ise's one-acre and three-point land, not to mention that they are all from the Nagano family, and the above generations are all separated from the Nagano family, and they have been married for several generations.

They govern Central Ise together, even if it is a strong cross-river dragon, they have to hand over the local real power to them, this is the way of survival of the local tyrants, more than ten generations of tireless birth and division, although there are repeated, but most of the time it is quite united, after all, the emergence of careerists is a minority, to the Warring States period suddenly broke out only to appear that the rites collapsed up and down abnormally.

Hosono Fujimitsu's name is uncle, in fact, he is the same age as Nagano Fujita, the two grew up together, but there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Suzuka Pass was an accident, we didn't expect it, and Akechi Mitsuhide didn't expect it either, otherwise he wouldn't have tore up the treaty and launched a war to invade the south." According to Akechi Mitsuhide's script, Suzuka Pass would be able to hold out for at least one to two months, enough for him to annex Nanse, so that he would have the whole of Ise and the strength to fight. Now the unexpected has happened, Suzuka has broken the gate, and the only thing we can do is wait. ”

Nagano Fuji was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Wait? ”

Hosono Fujiko bowed slightly, and said: "Wait, wait for the appearance of the victor, the Nagano Kudo clan must not be messed up." Now that Akechi Mitsuhide has returned to Kitisei to defend against the enemy, there is no one in the wooden castle who can order the Nagano Kudo clan to send troops. ”

Nagano Fuji was a little unwilling, now was the weakest time for Kitabatake, and it was also the best time for the Nagano family to expand their territory, he looked at Yunlin Yuan Yuki, wanting to get the latter's support.

Yunlin Yuan Yuki said: "The younger brother thinks that Ichiki is too conservative, there is no doubt that the Date family is stronger than the wise family, if the Date family enters Ise, then they will liquidate the power in Ise, and how much they swallow today will have to be spit out twice tomorrow." Most of the people of the country were scattered and surrendered by the wise family, and the Nanse and Kitabatake clans were famous families, and they were obedient to the Date family, so they should be courteous, so the middle power would be in danger, and I asked the lord to send a messenger to the Date family as soon as possible to send gifts to show respect. ”

Nagano Fuji never thought that Yunlin Yuan Yuki would ask him to defect to the Date family, and at this moment, another bad news came, and everyone was stunned.

Date Hyofeng, not in Ise, but in Iga. (To be continued.) )
