On the fifteenth day of May in the 20th year of Astronomy (1551), Kusama Village saw Shiroyama Castle, the castle of Kawasaki Castle Lord Kawasaki Shimo, which had become an empty city three days ago, and only an old samurai named Xiu Liang and a few old people who were too old to look miserable and wore tattered armor were left behind. (Like this book, please collect biquge.info) After a careful inquiry, Xiu Liang began to tell the truth intermittently. Kawasaki Shimosamoto immediately fled from this city that was no more than 100 meters high and had no danger to defend after learning the news of Zhengheng's troops, and he was Kawasaki's uncle, who lost his status and dignity in the struggle for power and profit with his father, did not take him out of Shiroyama Castle, and was homeless, so he could only choose to stay and wait for the Date family to come and surrender in Kaesong, maybe there is still a way to live.
Zheng Heng didn't drive away Xiu Liang so that they still lived in the city, but when he did something that he took for granted, he found that he had completely fallen into a situation of embattlement, he had lived in this city for three whole days, he hadn't had a good rest in the past three days, one after another unfavorable came like snowflakes, and in just three days, it was evident that the shape of the nearby shì had become extremely grim.
Zhengheng looked at the depressed scenery outside the city, and the peasant townspeople who saw it began to flee to other places one after another after Zhengheng entered Chengshan Castle, smiled bitterly, and said: "I didn't expect my teacher to have such a big grudge with the current lord of Tokushige Temple, the gains outweigh the losses!" The gains outweigh the losses! I didn't expect that I had served the Buddha for more than ten years, and I would destroy the Buddha one day! ”
Zhengheng took it for granted that the teacher who had educated himself for more than ten years was the deputy supervisor of Dezhong Temple, and when he went to Dezhong Temple, he more or less recited a little incense, and perhaps he could also say that Dezhong Temple mobilized monks and soldiers to help him.
Where did I think that he was indeed the deputy superintendent of the temple, and it was very likely that he would become the host of the Dezhong Temple. It's just that what I didn't expect was a very bloody thing between the two of them and the current host, which forced the two half-brothers who were born from the same root to the situation of being too anxious to fry each other.
It is not taboo for Japanese monks to marry wives and have children, and they are also willing to take wives and have children in order to inherit the foundation of the temple. Zhengheng's teacher Kuyi and the current host of Dezhong Temple are both the sons of the old host, but the former is a concubine and the latter is a concubine. In the chaotic era, the bloody plot of the dog on the throne soon developed into the temple, taking advantage of an opportunity to go out of the outside world, Ku Cheng put the old master under house arrest, forced to kill several brothers and uncles, and then sat in the position of the host in a grand manner.
After all, Ku Cheng is not in the right position, and he is often afraid that Ku Yi will return to Dezhong Temple to take his place, and he has not been able to sleep well. When Zhengheng came to sue him, Ku Yi was dead, and Ku Cheng was happy! However, Zhengheng asked him to mobilize monks and soldiers to attack Kawasaki Castle with him.
On the one hand, Kucheng and Zhengheng were false and wronged, and on the other hand, he sent someone to contact the chief guard of Kawasaki Shimo, wanting to encircle and suppress Zhengheng, who thought that Zhengheng was clever and escaped from Dezhong Temple after losing several of his subordinates.
Zhengheng later learned that Kucheng and Kawasaki were not only allies, but also marriages, Kawasaki's sister was Kucheng's wife, who was able to force his brother and uncle to be placed under house arrest back then.
As soon as he fell asleep, Akagi hurried over, and he got very bad news: "Your Highness, the Shouyuan of Stone Crab Mountain Castle led 500 foot light swims across the Sorghum River into the grass this morning, and is stopping in the area of Ikura Gorge. ”
Stone Crab Mountain Castle is just at the intersection of the Kosakabe River and the Sorghum River, and it used to be a powerful force in Agagun, and later the lord of Stone Crab Mountain Castle, Stone Crab Shouyuan, whose official position was Yamashiro Mori rebelled against the Niko clan that was in full swing at the time, was caught and put under house arrest in Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, but what he didn't expect was that he actually came back.
In Zheng Heng's thoughts, since even the city lord of Stone Crab Mountain City was locked up, and the remaining guards in the city were only a hundred people, it was impossible for them to threaten their flanks, so they didn't pay too much attention. After all, Shi Crab Shouyuan was placed under house arrest by the people of the Nizi family, and this Stone Crab Mountain City is considered the fortress of the Nizi family, even if he takes it, it is impossible to keep it, and there is one more crime of attacking the Nizi family.
Where did I think that Stone Crab Mountain City actually sent troops, and the leader of the army turned out to be the Stone Crab Shouyuan who was under house arrest, where did such sensational news not surprise Zhengheng.
Zheng Heng said in a deep voice: "What is going on, Akagi, tell me carefully, why did the Stone Crab Mountain City Guard suddenly appear, he was not locked up in Yueshan Tomita City, did he escape back?" Impossible, Tsukiyama Tomita Castle is the main city of the Nizi family, and it can't be said to be impregnable for decades, but when Ouchi Yoshitaka raised tens of thousands of soldiers, he couldn't conquer it, how did he escape, is it ......"
He thought of the worst place, he didn't escape, he was let back, why put it back?! This should be carefully considered.
Akagi paused and said: "Your Highness, according to rumors, he was released back, and he has returned to Stone Crab Mountain City for more than ten days, but he has been keeping it a secret, and not many people know the news of his return, but the minister doesn't understand why he came to Kusama to wade through this troubled water." ”
"Stone Crab Shouyuan seems to be a bad comer!" Zhengheng smiled bitterly, there was no definite news from Kawasaki City, and Shicrab Mountain City was in trouble.
Stone crab Shouyuan more than ten years of house arrest once released is enough to hold his breath, after coming back to find someone to stand up to vent, the gate of the small sakabe river became his target, as soon as he heard that Zhengheng entered the grass, and got the guarantee of the Tokushige Temple and Kawasaki Shimoto, he did not hesitate to mobilize 500 foot light swim across the sorghum River into the grass, waiting for the opportunity to attack Shiroyama Castle, and wipe out the Zhengheng in the grass.
Zhengheng's face was solemn, he understood that once the three forces of Shi Crab Shouyuan and Kawasaki Shimoto and Dezhong Kucheng were all in place, he had only one way to go, and withdrawing from Kusama meant retreating to Koro Castle, and perhaps having to give up a large area of fertile land to stop their offensive posture.
Zheng Heng suddenly thought of something and asked: "It is reported that the stone crab Shouyuan has been under house arrest in Yueshan Futian City for more than ten years, and there are only more than 100 standing soldiers in Stone Crab Mountain City, where did he come from 500 foot light, it can't be the miscellaneous soldiers he just recruited!" ”
Akagi nodded and said, "Speaking of which, Your Highness doesn't believe it, didn't more than 50 people flee when His Highness incorporated the Tongshan people that day?" Unexpectedly, the Tongshan people sent to investigate happened to recognize them, it turned out that the more than 50 people were all absorbed by Stone Crab Mountain City, and nearly 400 miscellaneous soldiers were recruited from the territory, and all of them were brought out except for the 100 people who stayed behind. ”
Zhengheng listened to Akagi's return, suddenly opened his eyes, and said to Akagi with a smile: "Akagi, there is not enough grain and grass in the city, so it is time to urge the Iris Nest Mountain City to send grain." ”
Akagi didn't understand what he meant, and said in amazement: "There is still food in the city, this time I brought 300 people with ten days of military rations." ”
Zheng Heng said with a smile: "The stone crab Shouyuan who has been locked up for more than ten years held his breath, if he swam two days late, maybe we wouldn't have any chance to attack him, and now he is holding his breath and wants to destroy me in one fell swoop I swam over this morning, this is not the best time to give us the best time to hit the stone crab Shouyuan." ”
After a pause, Zhengheng said gloomily: "Find an opportunity to let Xiu Liang know that there is a shortage of food in the city, and he will transport grain from the Osakabe River today, so that he can do a good job of sorting it out, and it is time for him to play a role." ”
Akagi smiled slightly: "Your Highness, you know! ”
