Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It is about 30 miles from the Takayagawa Gorge to the Ochochakagawa Gorge in Fuchu, and is the middle basin of the Ashida River, both of which are tributaries of the Ashida River, and the Fukuyama Plains at the mouth of the Ashida River, which is the largest plain in Bigo Province, and is the granary of the country as well as the Kurashiki of Bikoku. Due to the fertile land, the Sugiwara clan who lived here was one of the best wealthy families in Bigo Province, just as the Ishikawa clan of Bigo, whose strength was placed behind Mimura and Sho, and Shinmi Sadatsune ranked second, the Sugiwara clan sat on fertile land and was more than enterprising, and it was really the fattest meat in the hearts of the surrounding daimyos, so after the death of Sugihara in history, Sugihara Morishige was so valued by Mori Motoshi and Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei father and son, it was really geography that determined fate. The Ashida River runs through the Shenbian Plain, and the streets of Sanyodo Road go up the river, which has a high strategic value, so it is relatively complete, and the road is quite spacious and flat, and Yuan looks like a yellow ribbon floating in the green of the sky, extending along the clear Ashida River in the river.

On weekdays, walking on such a road would be easy for people who travel to and from the streets of Sanyo Road, but recently, due to the dispute between the Maori family and the Date family, the circulation of the streets of Shanyang Road was not smooth, and the streets were full of smoke and dust, and the Maori family rode back and forth one after another, and the situation suddenly changed in early October, when a group of more than 10 people appeared from another section of the Takayagawa Gorge, playing the word "peace" The banner swaggered through the city and appeared in the Yuno Pavilion in the Kamibe Plain, which is at the forefront of the Takayagawa Gorge.

After the First Battle of the Takayagawa Gorge, in order to prepare a complete armament for the possible surprise attack of the Date army, Mori Moto built a total of three special formations on both sides of the key mountain castle and at the front line, and stationed them by trusted generals, which was not afraid of the behavior of the Date army, but a sign of caution. Date Masahiro's expression has always been really not reassuring, and Mori Yuan is no exception, for fear that the Date army, who is carried away by victory, will come to a surprise attack, although Mori Yuan is not afraid of anyone. However, unnecessary damage can still be avoided, and the Yuno Pavilion Formation is a product of this trend of thought. The general of the garrison is the most brave and warlike Kumagai Nobunao of the Maori family, and in the absence of Kumagai Nobunao, his sister-in-law Kumagai Takanao serves as the garrison, and the retainer Sueda Naoko serves as an assistant, and this Sueda Naoka is the guy who is the one who has the blade Yoshikawa Kokei.

Yoshikawa Motoharu was the first to know the news that the envoy of the Date Army came to negotiate peace was secretly told by Kumagai Takanao, and Yoshikawa Motoharu married Kumagai Takano's sister as the wife of the main room, so the relationship between the two is quite good. They also became righteous brothers and were treated as members of the same race. Kumagai Takanao knew about Yoshikawa Motoharu's depression, and secretly asked Naoka Sueda to ride a fast horse to inform Yoshikawa Motoharu, what Yoshikawa Motoharu wanted to do was not for them to think, this was just a gesture of goodwill, and he couldn't anger Kumagai Takanao because of this in the future, saying that he was not righteous. Yoshikawa Motoharu also understood the meaning of Kumagai Takanao and Sueda Naoko, and did not let them directly intercept the meaning, and there was still a difference between being of the same clan and the same clan. He was confident that even if he killed the envoy of the Date family, it would only be a reprimand, and if Kumagai Takanao personally intervened, he was afraid that it would bring a devastating blow to Kumagai Nobunao and the Kumagai clan.

Kumagai Takanao clearly divided the priorities, and Yoshikawa Motoharu couldn't tell where he would, but now the situation didn't allow him not to take risks, and he already knew the news of Sanbon Matsushiro. It was understood that if some unexpected measures were not taken, the Maori army would soon retreat and leave the country of Bigo. For Yoshikawa Motoharu, who regards honor as his life, it is really not something he can do to run away with the charge of a defeat and thousands of lives in the entire Takayagawa Gorge, fight, continue to fight. Fighting to the end is the right way to win.

This is the difference between Yoshikawa Motoharu and his other two brothers, Mori Takamoto has a little self-redeeming idealism in his steadyness, and can be said to be the most suitable person to become the head of the family in this era. Shoucheng is more than enterprising enough, and Maori Yuan cultivated him in the same way, which is why Maori Yuan will be so nervous after losing Maori Longyuan. Kobayakawa Takashi can be said to be Maori Yuan's favorite and most headache son, and the one who is most like Maori Yuan in terms of wisdom is Kobayakawa Takakei, and it is because of the most resemblance that Maori Yuan has a headache, who let Maori Yuan kill his brother and nephew, and the psychological shadow is too strict, and he is afraid that Kobayakawa Takashi will be the next himself. Yoshikawa Motoharu admired the spirit of the samurai and the belief in bushido, and liked to charge forward when fighting, because of his bravery with the name of Oniyoshikawa, his pride made him feel a lifetime regret that he did not take the opportunity to pursue Hideyoshi during the change of Honnoji Temple, so he disdained Hideyoshi and chose to retire.

Hearing that the Date army sent an envoy to negotiate peace, Yoshikawa Motoharu was enraged, he rode a war horse towards the Yuno Pavilion gallop, he had a total of more than 30 horsemen on this trip, these more than 30 horses were the cronies and retainers who had followed Yoshikawa Motoharu for many years, in fact, he still had some people to recruit, and he could not allow him to waste too much time.

Yoshikawa Motoharu looked at the Yeshan Yoshichao and his party who were getting closer and closer to the banner of "peace", the corners of his mouth twitched, and a hideous smile bloomed, his eyes were cold and cold, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey in the night, and gritted his teeth and smiled: "If you want to negotiate peace, dream!" As he spoke, the horse rushed towards the slow-moving procession in a semi-encirclement, and soon met on the edge of a street not far from the Yuno Pavilion, and the atmosphere was tense.

Noyama Yoshichao and the others didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the plains of the god just now, their faces were slightly pale, and whoever saw a group of angry cavalrymen who would fight if they didn't agree would change color. They were quite tough, and although the entourage also took up arms, they still seemed to be a little alone, and they all stood in front of Noyama Yoshichao. But even so, everyone had a different tension on their faces, but no one flinched.

Noyama Yichao twisted his beard, his expression was very strict, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming?" In the ShimoDate Danmasada, the special envoy of the Noyama Palace, the Daisuke Yoshito, since my lord unified China and expelled the Mimura family, the Date Maori family has no reason to oppose each other, and the Maori have no reason to violate the border, so my lord has to rise up and resist, and do what the relatives and enemies are happy. Your side is in the west, and my lord is in the west, each doing its own thing, not interfering with each other, it is better to draw a clear border and make peace. That's what I'm here for. ”

Yoshikawa Motoharu shouted with a hideous face: "Yeshan Yichao, don't pretend to be a dog in front of me, I, Yoshikawa Motoharu, came here today to sue you, want to negotiate peace, dream, obediently obey my father's conditions, and tie yourself out of the city, otherwise we will not blame us for being ruthless." ”

When Noyama Masahima heard that it was Yoshikawa Motoharu, the second son of Mori Motosa, he secretly said that his heart was broken, he knew the details of the battle of Komiyama, and he also knew what happened to Yoshikawa Motoharu in this joint battle, although the Kusama people could not know the content of the high-level meeting of the Maori Army, there was already a dark tide surging underneath, and the matter of Yoshikawa Motoharu was no longer a secret. He was still able to maintain a calm attitude, and he was still meticulous in his speech: "Tie yourself out of the city? Ruthless? The young assistant of the governance department said with a smile, what was the situation of the first battle a few days ago, and now An Yiguo is afraid that it has long been unstable, Tao Qingxian and Niko Izumo took advantage of the situation, if they can't return to China in the short term, what will the situation be, you and I know it. Isn't it an exaggeration to say that you are bound out of the city now? ”

Yoshikawa Motoharu's calm tone was full of hatred, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Hmph, don't talk nonsense, now as long as I leave you behind, so that you can never return to Nishiebara, think about what Date will do, I will definitely be annoyed and angry, rush through the Takayagawa Gorge to fight with me, and then I want to see where his majesty is on the Kamibe Plains?" As he spoke, he raised his hand, obviously wanting to make a decision to leave all the Noyama Masasao and the others in front of him in the local area.

Noyama Masasa suddenly panicked, he never thought that Yoshikawa Motoharu would be so reckless, and he didn't say a word and wanted to keep them here, and he didn't understand the meaning of staying here, that is, he wanted to kill them before they saw Mori Moto, so he had to let Date and Maori fight to the end, he really couldn't understand what benefit it would be to Yoshikawa Motoharu, but the current situation did not allow him to be suspicious, thinking of Date Masahiro's warning before leaving, he hurriedly shouted again: "Yoshikawa Motoharu, Don't forget that there is still something in our hands, and as soon as we are unable to return to Nishiebara, our lord will return it immediately. ”

Yoshikawa Motoharu hesitated for a while, the people below may not know the meaning of that thing, but how he doesn't know, once that thing returns to the Maori family, his efforts will be in vain, it can be said that Noyama Masato's words hit his weakness, maybe it is said that Date Masahiro knows the weakness of the two brothers, Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei, otherwise he would not have been so bold to run to Nishiehara in person, and only arranged a separate army in the area of Kasaoka Port to guard against attacks from the sea, Nor did he specifically warn Noyama Masasao before leaving to use this to blackmail the two brothers when he saw them.

Who in the Maori family doesn't want Maori Takagen to not be able to return, Yoshikawa Motoharu claims to be the first, even Kobayakawa Takakei, who is good at forbearance, sighs to himself.

Yoshikawa Jingshi, who had already been blinded by the revenge of killing his son, clenched his fists, he was naturally towards Yoshikawa Motoharu in his heart, and at this time, Yoshikawa Motoharu hesitated for a while when Noyama Yoshina's words made Yoshikawa Motoharu feel more and more unhappy, and immediately turned his head and said: "Your Highness, as long as we start a war with the Date army, are we still afraid that Date Ko'er will destroy the Great Wall and give up the most important means of saving his life." ”

Yoshikawa Motoharu's eyes were full of determination, and he waved his arms fiercely and shouted: "Do it!" (To be continued.) )
