Chapter Forty-Nine: Sending Troops with Salt and Red Pine

"Brother, the territory around my Changshui Mountain City is barren land, and I can't support many people at all, along the way, my brother's territory is very fertile, which really makes me envious!" Masayori Uno said with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Akamatsu Masahide's heart trembled, he came, and he actually started to talk about the conditions so directly, anyway, he had already said that he would give the 10,000 stone north of Shiroyama Castle to the Uno family, and he would simply forget it. Although they are brothers, they must also settle accounts clearly, and the appearance fee that is said to be good is indispensable.

"In this case, I, who is the elder brother, will call the shots and send the 10,000 stone north of Shiroyama Castle to the Uno family, and the land is still in the hands of our Uno clan anyway."

"It's really good what my brother said, we are all from the Uno clan, and whoever owns the land is also from the Uno clan, and I, Uno Masayo, can have such a good brother, and I will be blinded by death." Masayori Uno said with a smile.

Akamatsu Masahide and Uno Masayori acted in the two, and many people on both sides felt disgusting, but there were also stupid people like Yajuro Shibahara, wiping his tears and saying that it was too touching.

Now that the conditions have been negotiated, there is no need to spend it here, Akamatsu Masahide ceded 10,000 stone of land, and he panicked in his heart, even if he hadn't seen his own brother for many years, he didn't want to see Uno Masayori, so he said: "Masayori has worked hard all the way, don't stand outside, go to the city!" I have ordered food and drinks to be prepared to welcome my brother's arrival. ”

"Okay, it's really cold outside, let's go into the city and talk." Uno Masayori said proudly.

At noon on January 23, the third year of Yonglu, the sun did not stingy with its heat, but the cold wind still brought an icy and biting feeling. Inside the barrage to the north of Kuroda's collar, Tohi Yahachi was in his house, wiping his two ring knives.

He had already received the news that Zhiyan City might come to attack, and now it had been designed and strengthened by Yasui Dobu to become a good small city, and there were originally ninety-five people stationed in it, including five Tongxin Ninjas.

Later, Matsui Shigetaka, who stayed in Kuroda Castle, received an order from Kuroda to send ten crossbows to Kitaigawa, Matsui Shigetaka felt that it was pointless to come, and Kitaigawa was not guaranteed, and it was useless to keep many people in Kuroda Castle. With a stroke of the pen, ten crossbows, five concentrics, and fifty peasants were transferred.

Tufei Yahachi sent out all ten concentric people, scattered within five miles of the Beihe River Qi near the side of Zhiyancheng, and there were exactly one hundred and fifty defenders in the Yancheng, Tufei Yahachi knew that everyone was very nervous, and often would compete with everyone to show their extraordinary bravery, so that these ordinary soldiers knew that the main general was very strong, and they could rest assured that they would follow themselves. A leader with strong force is at least more reassuring than a coward, at least his fertile martial arts have convinced everyone and made it a little easier.

Yahachi was still wiping the knife, when a foot ran in, "Tsuchibo-sama, here...... Akamatsu's army is coming. ”

Soil Hibi Yahachi suddenly stopped wiping the knife, his eyes burst into brilliant light, and the corners of his mouth on the left side were slightly upturned, excited, very excited, as if he didn't put salt and red pine to attack the Hokai River, but led people to attack the Akamatsu family himself.

"How many people came?"

"About eight hundred."

"Okay, let's go out and have a look." After saying this sentence with a smile, Tu Fei Yaba strode out of the house, his steps were steady, without cowardice, and he had the style of a general.

That Ashigaru looked at the back of Tsuchihi Yahachi, and looked at him for a moment, and saw that he was far away, so he came back and immediately chased him out, but he was not so nervous in his heart, and Tsuchiba's self-confidence deeply infected him.

After Kuwabara Saemon visited, Akamatsu Yoshisuke, the head of the Shio-Akamatsu family, knew that when the Kuroda family attacked Takino Castle, his father Akamatsu Harumasa died in the castle palace.

However, the inquirer also mentioned that the fire in the palace was not set by the Kuroda family, but by his sister, and to put it bluntly, his father's death should have nothing to do with the Kuroda family. Akamatsu Yoshisuke is not a fool, he will not easily believe Akamatsu Masahide, he vaguely feels that his father's death has a lot to do with Akamatsu Masahide, and even a good thing done by Akamatsu Masahide's people.

After careful consideration, Yoshisuke Akamatsu finally decided to send troops to the Kuroda family under the banner of avenging his father. Akamatsu Yoshisuke, as the guardian of Harima Country, has nearly 400,000 stone of land in Harima Country, and he only owns a pitiful 20,000 stone in the northern part of Katama County, and nearly half of the land is distributed to large and small retainers and wealthy families. Seeing that the Kuroda family, the Kotera family, a subordinate family of his own subordinates, actually obtained 70,000 stone of land overnight, how could he not be blushing.

Kuwabara Saemon said that the Akamatsu Takino family has invited the Uno family of Nagasuiyama Castle to help out, which means that the Kuroda family, which is currently in Takino Castle, will inevitably confront Takino and Nagasuiyama Castle, and the main force is all contained there, which means that Kuroda's territory is very empty. Maybe as long as you break through a little, you can swallow these 70,000 stones in a long way, and when you digest these 70,000 stones, you can organize a real army and destroy the big and small forces in Harima, and even Bizen and Misaku are also conceivable, and you may be able to restore the glory of the rule of the three kingdoms led by the ancestor Akamatsu So, and even the entire eastern western country.

It was with such a sweet dream that under the guise of his father's killing, he gathered the largest number of troops in the collar of 800 people to attack the Kuroda family. It's not that he doesn't want to get more men and horses, but when Lushan fought together, he directly killed and wounded 700 people in the Shio Chimatsu family, and almost lost most of the young people in the collar, which was still after seven years of recuperation, and the conscription range ranged from eleven to sixty-five years old, and it took an army of 800 people to come together, and the real samurai and standing ashigaru were less than 150 people.

The army of the Shiyan Chimatsu family stopped moving three hundred steps away from the Beihe River, and Tuhi Yahachi looked at the army from behind, the number of eight hundred people was quite objective, but if you looked closely, most of them were peasant soldiers, all wearing thin cloth clothes, all of them had yellow faces and thin muscles, and they all looked like they were not full, and there were also hoes and wooden sticks, and they would shiver when the cold wind blew when they stood there.

A flag warrior of the Akamatsu family walked up to the Kitaigawa and shouted: "Listen, the defenders of the Kuroda family, we are the army of the Shio Akamatsu family, and we are under the order of Yoshisuke Akamatsu, the guardian of Harima Province, because your Kuroda family does not respect the regulations of Harima, the guardian of Harima, and sends troops without authorization, resulting in the death of the old lord Akamatsu Haruma, and the special army is sent to fight against Er and so on. ”

"Qing Zheng was just seven years ago in the Salt Palace, Yiyou Gong, and the guardian Dai Daren personally chased and released, right?" Tsuchihi Yahachi suddenly said with a smile, and it is all true, the originally arrogant Akamatsu samurai didn't know how to say it, and the peasant soldiers below also began to talk to each other, and the Akamatsu army looked even more chaotic.

Akamatsu Yoshiyu, who was riding a horse and walking at the back of the line, his face was so black that he could almost drip ink at this time, which was simply exposing his shortcomings, he came under the banner of avenging his father, but the other party said that Haruma Masako was exiled by him, what a slap in the face! It was played very loudly.

Seeing that Akamatsu Yoshiyu's face was not good, that flag knew that the lord was angry, and if he didn't think of a way, he estimated that he would not have good fruit to eat, so he immediately shouted: "Bastard, this family is the guardian family of Harima Country, how dare you say that." ”

Tsuchihi Yahachi said a few words to a few ashigaru group leaders, opened the door directly, and walked out of the Beihe River with twenty people. Kuroda's order was to try not to clash with the Akamatsu family and ensure that the Hokaigawa was not lost. But he directly opened the door with a little manpower, which was already considered to be disobeying the lord's order.

"Is it to open the door and surrender?" "It's better" "You see that the peasants and soldiers on the other side have bamboo armor!" "It's not going to be such a simple surrender!" "Yes! You won't rush over! ”

The peasants and soldiers of the Akamatsu family whispered, and some samurai and ashigaru also kept pointing at the opposite side, and the entire Akamatsu army had no discipline at all. Even the last Akamatsu Yoshisuke was a little excited, if this one surrendered directly, wouldn't Kuroda appear in front of his family without defense?

"Are you here to surrender?"
