On the evening of November 15, the 22nd year of astronomy (1553), the three stars of the city were made by the United States, and the main array of the Nizi clan. Niko Qingjiu is looking out of the window with a gloomy face, and the winter rain is stunned. Just yesterday, the weather that had been sunny for nearly a month was changing, and the temperature in Misasaka Country plummeted, and there was a continuous rainy weather.

In Iwami Province, the letters of the Shingu Party asking for help were passed to the main formation one after another, and Niko Harumu's face was also gloomy for a while, and Tao Qingxian, who had changed his name to Ouchi Yoshinaga, heard the bad news of the defeat of Mori Moto, and soon forced the landing of Yoshimi Masanori and Masuda Yinkan, and most of Iwami Kuni fell into his hands, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yamabuki Castle. Of course, the Shingong Party, which is inseparable from Nizi Haruhisa, will not fight desperately to resist, and when he hears the news of Nizi Haruhisa's unfavorable war, he will not go to block it one by one.

In Washiyama Castle, although the Niko army has done its best, and has the advantage of troops, but the unhappiness of the battle situation is still unavoidable, Urakami Sokei is like crazy to stick to the Eagle Mountain Castle, the narrow mountain roads on both sides of the Eagle Mountain Castle have suppressed the numerical advantage of the Niko army, and the fuel tactics have been unable to attack with high intensity, and they cannot bypass the Eagle Mountain Castle and take the Tenjin Mountain Castle directly.

What made Niko Haruhisa hate even more was that the little mouse that prepared for China jumped out, and I don't know how to eat a large piece of flesh and blood of Maori Motosa, and then came to Bizen Country, and as soon as he came, he destroyed the Matsuda Motohui family, who had always sworn to be strong, and even flayed him alive to his retainer Iga Kutaka.

All in all, these days are almost always filled with bad news that is frustrating or hopeless.

The battle of Eagle Mountain Castle wasted countless energy of Niko Haruhisa, Niko Haruhisa squinted his eyes slightly and rested, a sound of footsteps alarmed him, he opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Is it Uyama Hida Mamoru who is here?" ”

The attendant replied, "Uyama Hidamoru Lord, Sashi Izu Mori, and Ushio Toe Mamoru have jointly asked to see you. "Uyama Hida Mori Kukan, Sashi Izu Shou Kiyomu, Ushio Enoe Shou Yukiki. All of them are the auxiliary ministers that Nizi has left for a long time to Nizi Qingjiu.

The three of them came together, Nizi Qingjiu also gave three points of face, let the waiter open the wooden door, the three of them came in and sat on both sides, he leaned steadily towards the help of the table, and said: "The war before the preparation is eroded, and the eagle mountain city cannot be conquered for a long time." The colder the weather, the more people think about home, I don't know what you think? ”

Uyama Kukane glanced at Niko Harumu quietly, then straightened up and said, "Your Highness, Your Excellency borrowed a copy of the Art of War from you a few months ago. His Majesty read it day by day, and finally understood a meaning, he mentioned in the book of war, a hundred battles are victorious, and the good ones are also good; A soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good man who is good! In other words, winning a hundred battles is not the highest level of war between the two armies. It is not necessary to use force to achieve the goal, and that is the highest level of war between the two armies. ”

Sashi Qingzong shook his head slightly and said: "Fei Da Shou is on a mission, if you persuade Urakami Zongjing to surrender, I am afraid that I will have to give up Urakami Masamune, so what is the point of sending troops in this battle, what is the name of righteousness, the colder the weather, I am afraid that it will snow heavily in a few days, once the snow falls." I can't even think about withdrawing my troops. ”

The righteous name of the Nizi clan to send troops is to expel Urakami Zongjing and help Pushang Masamune to sit on the position of guardian of Bizen Province, and now if you want to persuade Urakami Zongjing to surrender, you will even lose the righteous name, and withdrawing the army is like losing face, and even if you don't want the righteous name, you will lose your lizi.

It's not that Nizi Qingjiu didn't think of persuading Urakami Zongjing to surrender, but he just thought about it, once he made such a decision, he would inevitably be opposed by all the retainers, and he was afraid that he would lose his wife and lose his army. Glancing at Sashi Kiyozong, he turned around and said, "Hida Mamoru, what do you mean?" ”

Yushan said confidently: "Your Highness, don't you think. Now is a good time to convince Date Mashiro?! ”

Niko Haruhisa was surprised: "Opportunity? ”

Uyama Hisaka took a step forward, approached Niko Haruhisa and said, "Yes, opportunity, the biggest role of persuading Date Mashiro now is to make Urakami Sokei's heart full of doubts. Regardless of whether Date Masahiro agrees or not, Urakami Sokei will inevitably be confused, it is reported that Date Masahiro sent troops to destroy Matsuda Motoki, wouldn't Urakami Sokei be afraid that the other party would not take advantage of the situation to destroy Tenjin Mountain Castle. ”

Niko Haruhisa's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously Uyama Hisakane's words moved him, and he pretended to be calm: "Tell me, what can that little mouse use to get him into the arms of my family?" ”

Uyama Hisakane's eyes flashed, and he shook his head slightly and said: "Your Highness, Date Masahiro is young and vigorous, and he is high-spirited, it is not difficult to entrap him, but if you want to succeed in a short period of time, you have to pay a lot of price, and the gains really outweigh the losses." Now that Matsuda Motoki is dead, as long as my family goes to persuade with great fanfare, whether it succeeds or not, it will inevitably lead to suspicion among the two families. ”

Niko Harushi said in a cloudy voice, "Well, that's it, Hida Mamoru, this matter is up to you." ”

Uyama Hisashi replied and lowered his head, he knew that Nizi Haruhisa was suspicious of him and Date Masahiro, but his loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon, and he can only regret Date Masahiro.

……

Misasaka Province is rainy and rainy, and Bizen Province is no exception, the Meizenji Castle that was originally wanted to be built in the military council can only be postponed indefinitely, and the main formation of the Date family also fell in Okayama Castle, which was supposed to be the residence of the Golden Light Sect, and after the Magpie's Nest was occupied, the soldiers of the Date Army walked everywhere.

Zhengheng did not hide from the rain in the house, he was standing at the head of Sanmaru Castle, the rain falling on his face felt clear and cold, while watching the Asahikawa flowing under the castle, while carefully listening to the latest situation in front of the soldiers sent back by Katsuro Hengxin.

The soldier was wet with men and horses, but he didn't even bother to wipe it, knelt on the ground and gasped and said, "General, Lord Gelong has entered the Lianggong Mountain Castle, and the striker has already contacted the Heavenly God Mountain Castle Urakami Zongjing. ”

Zhengheng pondered for a while and said, "What did he say?" ”

The soldier straightened up and replied, "Urakami Sokei has sent Nobuhara Keoneng as an envoy, and it will be soon." ”

The corners of Zhengheng's mouth curled slightly, and he nodded in response: "It turned out to be him, go down!" As he spoke, he looked up at the sky again, and the sky was overcast and rainy. In the intelligence, it was revealed that he was the important minister of Urakami Zongjing, and he got the position of Uragami Zongjing's partiality and assumed the position of the elder of the pen family, and Zhengheng was able to remember him because in his previous life, he had seen that there was a guy from Enhara Jingneng among the four heavenly kings under the command of the Ukita Naoka, that is to say, when the Ukita Naojia was on the keshang, this Urakami Sokei's retainer became a traitor.

On the morning of November 17, 1553, the sky was cloudy and it was still raining, but it was a little smaller than the previous two days.

When Nobuhara Keineng arrived at Okayama Castle, Masahiro was busy checking the rain leakage in the houses of Okayama Castle, but fortunately, the Date army did not have many troops, and there were only more than 1,700 people in Okayama Castle, but most of the firewood was wet, and dozens of people caught a cold after nightfall, which was what Masahiro was worried about.

The big people that Yonohara Keino could see were all nobles dressed in elegant clothes, and the same was true of his lord Uragami Munekei, but when he saw Date Masaki appear in front of him with dirt, he was still deeply shocked, and no one thought that Date Masaki, who was already the overlord of the two countries, would take matters into his own hands.

Zheng Heng didn't think that he had neglected the other party because of the mess on his body, but instead sat directly on the top of Yeonhara Jingneng, and said: "Oh, by the way, let's talk about the situation of Lord Urakami first, this is the most important thing, I actually slackened it, quickly, serve ginger soup, and give the messenger a copy." ”

Nobuhara Jingneng saw that there were more than a dozen retainers following Date Masahiro's side, and they all had dirt on their faces, obviously they had just come back from outside, took a deep breath, and made a kowtow salute: "In this battle of Bigo, Date Damasa Datadashi won heartily, congratulations!" ”

Zhengheng took the ginger soup handed over by Sukugoro Tsuda, took two sips, and his face suddenly became a little stern: "Well, well, Sugoro, whose idea is it to put sugar in the ginger soup." ”

Sugar looks ordinary hundreds of years later, but in this era, the price is more than gold, it is a full luxury, the country itself does not produce sugar, it needs to be imported from the Ming Dynasty, and the price is higher than the sky, only the nobles who like to enjoy it can afford it.

Tsuda Sukegoro hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "It's the villain's idea, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”

Zhengheng looked at Sukugoro Tsuda, shook his head and said, "Sukegoro, I know this is your kindness, but if I enjoy the syrup silently in private today, I will be able to forget the hardships of founding the Date family tomorrow, and the Date family will have no future, and the family business that has been accumulated with great difficulty will definitely fail." He went down and took the rod ten times. ”

Sukegoro Tsuda burst into tears and responded, "The villain understands. ”

Yan Yuan Jingneng didn't expect to be punished for eating some sugar juice, he took a sip of ginger soup, sure enough, there was no sugar taste, and it was a little bitter, thinking that he finally had a chance to speak, and said loudly: "Eagle Mountain City is as stable as Mount Tai, and my Royal Highness will mobilize 5,000 soldiers to go to the rescue again." ”

Zheng Heng interrupted him all of a sudden, and said, "Jing Neng, you mean that Eagle Mountain City can't be defended anymore?" ”

Yan Yuan Jingneng replied: "What do you say you can't hold, how is this possible, I mean as stable as Mount Tai." ”

Zheng Heng said: "Steady as Mount Tai, then why are you afraid of mobilizing 5,000 soldiers to rescue, don't you want Tianshen Mountain City, he is not afraid that his brother will take the opportunity to seize Tianshen Mountain City." ”
