Chapter 62: Tamba Red Oni

I see, but it's not surprising. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just Ueno-sama, what can I gain by surrendering to the Kuroda family? Akai Naomasa suddenly looked sharply at Ritsu Ueno.

Rieto Ueno didn't expect Akai Naomasa to come to this hand, after all, he was a person who had not done a trick before, at least in terms of his heart, there was a big gap between him and Enryakuji Quanzong, Yamamoto Takaquan, and Kinoshita Hidenaga, if these three people were here, they would definitely not have any expressions. In contrast, Rieto Ueno was a little overwhelmed for a while, and even looked at Akai Naomasa with some fear, and Akai Naomasa also looked more proud, and the people of the Kuroda family were nothing more than that!

In fact, Kuroda Vocational High School sent Ueno Ritsu is also a very helpless thing, Yamamoto Takashi followed Kuroda to Sanuki Province, and when Yamashiro Province fled before, Kinoshita Hidecho was separated from them in order to attract pursuers, and now life and death are unknown. And in order to rescue himself, Shigeharu Takenaka brought all the fierce generals, and there was absolutely nothing to say if they were to fight, but it was much worse if they were adjusted, and even Xiao (Kuriyama) Ansuke would be more suitable than them here. And it is impossible for Kuroda Vocational High School to send Shigeharu Takenaka over, even if he goes, Kuroda Vocational High School will not let Shigeharu Takenaka go to the risk.

"This ...... Lord Akai, before coming down, the young master of the family said that as long as the adults surrendered, they would transfer the 3,000 stone of Inaba Province, and then send hostages and surrender tables. Rieto Ueno said reluctantly under Akai's aura.

"If I submit, can the Kuroda family make me the governor of the Akai family?" Akai Naomasa suddenly asked.

"Lord Akai, the young master said, you will definitely ask this question, the young master means that from now on, the Akai family will be divided into two families, you will be the governor of the Akai family in Inshu, and Lord Akai will continue to be the governor of the Tanba Akai family." Ritsu Ueno said.

"Oh! This is the arrangement of Qilin'er, which seems to be good! But I couldn't say yes, because what I wanted was not the so-called governor of the Akai family. Ueno-sama, please listen clearly, what I want is the entire Akai family. Akai said.

"In this case, we can only fight." Ritsu Ueno said.

"That's not wrong at all, tell Qilin'er to come with his army! I, Naoya Akai, will not be afraid of him. Akai shouted arrogantly.

"Then I'm going to take my leave, and please take care of Akai-sama."

"No."

At this time, Ritsu Ueno, who walked out of the Imperial Palace, was already sweating profusely.

"Qilin'er, come on! Let me show you how good you are! Akai said as he looked at the sky outside the Imperial Palace.

At this time, Akai Naomasa was actually not famous, but he was just a samurai who was still somewhat famous in Tanba Country, and at most several surrounding countries had some names for him. And the name of the red ghost of Tanba has not been obtained at all.

According to the original historical development, the most powerful families in the Tamba Kingdom at this time were the three wealthy families of Akai, Naito, and Hatano, who occupied Ice, Funai, and Taki Gun, respectively, and these three clans were the most powerful and most likely to gain the dominance of the Tamba Kingdom.

In August of the 8th year of Eiroku (1565), the Hatano clan instigated two other clans, the Akai clan and the Naito clan, to fight against Kusato, and the Akai clan won a great victory with the assistance of the Hatano clan. Naito Sokatsu was defeated on all fronts, and Akai Naomasa chased and fought hard in the back until Naito Munekatsu was killed.

This battle also achieved the heroic reputation of Naomasa "Red Oni", and after the war, the Akai clan controlled the entire Amada Prefecture, and its power increased greatly, while the Naito clan's status plummeted. Tanba also separated from the nominal rule of Miyoshi.

In addition, for the sake of the hegemony of Tanba Province, Akai Naomasa also defeated Yutoyo Yamana, who had invaded the Ice Prefecture, thus attracting the hostility of Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga is notoriously cautious, and when he saw that his subordinate Yamana Yutoyo was bullied, how could it be?

During the Tensho period, Oda Nobunaga aimed to dominate the world, and the country of Tanba, which was located at the throat of San'in, became the place where he attacked urgently, and it happened that in addition to Akai Naomasa's attack on Yamana Yutoyo. How could Oda Nobunaga let go of such a godsend, he directly appointed Akechi Mitsuhide as the main general and Hosokawa Fujitaka as the deputy general to invade Tanba.

In the third year of Tensho (1575), Akechi Mitsuhide engaged the Akai army near Mt. Hachiman, Kashiwabara, and the 11,000 men of the Akechi army launched a general attack on the 2,500 men of the Akai family, only to be defeated by Akai Naomasa and fled.

The result of this battle made Oda Nobunaga angry, so he ordered Akechi Mitsuhide to attack Tanba again. In the sixth year of Tensho (1578), Akechi Mitsuhide attacked Kuroi Castle again, and Akai Naomasa's younger brother Akai Crime Department Yukiya came to the aid from Mio Castle, along with the Yamana Army and the Ogino Army. The battle was extremely difficult, and the Akechi army once broke through Nimaru, but never attacked Honmaru.

The Yamana Army and the Ogino Army, who came to help, evacuated one after another. But the Akai army never gave up and finally repelled Akechi Mitsuhide. Oda Nobunaga was finally enraged, and immediately summoned Niwa Nagahide and Hashiba Hideyoshi to assist Mitsuhide's Tanba strategy. In the seventh year of Tensho (1579), Mitsuhide attacked Kuroi Castle three times, and because the castle had fallen, it was finally outnumbered, and Kuroi Castle fell.

In Takeda Shingen's "Koyo Military Guide", Akai Naomasa is listed as the first person in the "Thirteen Samurai" in the "Four Great Generals, Thirteen Samurai", which shows Takeda Shingen's respect for Akai Naomasa.

It can be said that Akai Naomasa became famous, and it was from the August of the eighth year of Eiroku (1565) that he fought with Kusato, and now it is the seventh year of Eiroku, so Akai Naomasa is not famous now, but his name Kuroda Vocational High School is known, so he does not dare to slack off at all.

Kuroda Vocational High School directly lined up all the 3,000 people under Kuroi Castle, and Akai Naomasa received a report from his subordinates at this time, and immediately led his men to the walls of Mimaru.

"Father, there are no less than 3,000 people in the Kuroda family," Akai Naoyoshi said at this time, pointing to the Kuroda family soldiers under the city walls.

"That's true!" Akai nodded and said.

"Lord Lord, the Kuroda family does have an advantage in numbers, but they only have three or four thousand numbers, and there are seven hundred soldiers in Kuroi City at this time, as long as you are careful of Cage City, the Kuroda family will definitely not be able to defeat us." Akai Naomasa's retainer Ogino Akimitsu said.

Speaking of which, this Ogino Akiman is the half-brother of Ogino Akimitsu, and he is still Akai Naomasa's uncle in terms of generation, and when Akai Naomasa killed Ogino Akiyoshi and captured Kuroi Castle, this Ogino Akiman directly surrendered to Akai Naomasa, which is considered to have saved his life.
