Chapter 136: Coming and Not Being Rude (9)
Zhengheng heard that Yamanaka Yutaka actually died of illness, and he didn't feel a little embarrassed, when he was preparing for the rise of China, he had several intersections with this Yamanaka Yukitaka, but he still had some feelings with Yamanaka Yudaka, but he never thought that he would die young.
Zhengheng said, "Let them in." ”
Soon after Tsuda Sukegoro went, he came in with Lady Yamanaka and the child Kanjiro, and Shimizu Soji also followed, his face was a little unpleasant, obviously Tsuda Sukegoro had already told him what had just happened, and he had come to ask for guilt.
Masahiro looked at the visitor, the woman was about twenty-four or five years old, neatly dressed in a kimono, and her hair had been combed, obviously to show the glory of the Yamanaka family and her radiant and noble temperament in front of the lord of the country. The child who followed her looked like he was about ten years old, but he had a fearless spirit in his body, and his expression was not like that of a ten-year-old boy.
Zhengheng pondered deeply and said: "Yamanaka Yutaka is too stubborn, if he had asked to see me earlier, he would not have died so young, hey, time is also fate, Yamanaka Yutaka has passed away, please mourn, Mrs. I don't know what arrangements there are in the future?" ”
When Mrs. Yamanaka just came in, she glanced at Zhengheng, she was really a young lord, she could listen to Zhengheng's words, think of the scene before Yamanaka Yutaka died of illness, and then think of today's difficult life, holding back tears and full of emotion. Probably explained in advance, the child knelt beside his mother with his head bowed and in an orderly manner.
Mrs. Yamanaka replied: "After the death of the husband, he raised the two children to protect them, and now the eldest son has unfortunately passed away, and he will raise the eldest child in the future." Let him become a good general like his father and ancestors in the future. Re-revival of the mountain home. ”
Re-revival of the mountain home. Masahiro suddenly thought of the history of Yamanaka Kanosuke swore to the family heirloom Three Sun Moon Antlers that he would rather suffer from heaven to his own body than revive the Niko family.
After the demise of the Niko family, Yamanaka Kanosuke raised the four-eyed banner three times, and was finally defeated by Kamitsuki Castle. Now, it is clear that Kanosuke Yamanaka, who has gone through countless hardships, can no longer form a revival army for his enemy, the Niko family, but will fight for his own revival.
Thinking of this, Zhengheng suddenly said to Mrs. Yamanaka, "Mrs. Yamanaka." I don't know if you would like to, let your child be my little surname, and follow me, and if you agree, then I will give him twenty stones, which is enough to support you. ”
Mrs. Yamanaka was stunned for a moment, she finally understood what Zhengheng meant, and couldn't help crying bitterly: "Thank you for your favor, twenty stone is too much." This kid ...... This kid ......"
Zheng Heng smiled and interrupted her, "When I see this child, I think of his brother. I once invited his brother to be my retainer, but Kotaka refused my invitation on the grounds that one minister was not the second master. Now, I want your child to be my little surname, and I hope that he will be able to follow the same philosophy as his brother for the rest of his life. ”
Yamanaka Yutaka is a retainer of the Nizi Haruhisa family but hooked up with the Shingong Party, and pushed the way to the defeat of the Nizi family, where is there the appearance of one minister who does not do two masters as Zhengheng said, but he died of illness since he left the Nizi family, and he has not done anything about the three family slaves.
Mrs. Yamanaka put her arms around Kanjiro and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." ”
Kyoto was full of hustle and bustle, with the ministers showing their presence, the imperial family visiting the various relief porridge sheds from time to time to show their prestige, and with the arrival of food, the prestige of the imperial court gradually recovered from the fire.
Date Mashiro's sudden action was completely unexpected by everyone, for Mashiro, it was just a young man who wanted to use this trick to divert people's attention and achieved the effect of not attacking, but what he didn't expect at all was that the effect was surprisingly good.
Not only did he provoke all the members of the imperial court, but also made Miyoshi Chokei, who had always regarded Date Masaki as the first enemy in the future, now in a dilemma, he is now the overlord of Kinai, usurping the authority of the shogunate and the governor, and now he has to be relieved by a prince from outside the country, as if he has stolen a part of the power in his authority, how can he endure it. But he had to be patient, did he really send troops to rob the rice in Shangjing, stop the behavior of Tennoji House, and increase the world's misunderstanding of him.
Date Masahiro's actions prompted Miyoshi Nagakei to put aside his prejudices and have to pinch his nose to raise food and send it to Kyoto, showing the strength of the Miyoshi family in disaster relief, so that the world can see that Date Masahiro is not the only one who is loyal to the imperial court.
Miyoshi Nagakei pinched his nose to raise food and send it to Kyoto, not only made the imperial court no longer restrained, but also made Tsuda Soda of Tennoji House breathe a sigh of relief and slowed down the action of raising food, he knew that Date Masahiro's prestige had enough, and it was time for Miyoshi Nagakei to feed the stomachs of thousands of victims.
Miyoshi Changqing pinched his nose to raise food, and at the same time, under the pretext of transporting food, he sent batches of elite soldiers and horses pretending to be farmers into the mountain city. Miyoshi Chokei consulted with several generals, and everyone agreed that in order to defeat the Rokkaku family and force Rokkaku Yoshiken to surrender, it was necessary to lure the Rokkaku army out of Kannonji Castle and then fight a decisive battle in the plains near Yamashiro Province.
This strategy is what Miyoshi Changqing wants to see the most.
However, according to everyone's thoughts, Rokkaku Yoshiken obviously would not follow in the footsteps of the Miyoshi Army, and would definitely use the Hira Mountains between Omi Province and Yamashiro Province to the south to block the Kazaki Mountains layer by layer, so that the Miyoshi Army would fall into the trap of layers of fortifications, so that the Miyoshi Army would not be able to extricate itself, and wait until the Miyoshi Army was exhausted before dispatching a large army to gather and annihilate it. This situation is something that Miyoshi Chokei never wants to see, but it is very likely to become a reality, and it is also the reason why Miyoshi Chokei is reluctant to send a large army to attack Omi Province head-on.
Since it was impossible to lure the Rokkaku Army out of Omi Province to fight a decisive battle on the plains of Yamashiro Province, it was only possible to break through the mountains and fight a decisive battle on the shores of Lake Biwa in Omi Province. The Inougami River, Aichi River, Hino River, and Yasu River in the eastern part of the lake, and the sister river in Hubei form a vast alluvial plain, and there is a vast Omi basin in the eastern part of the lake.
Once it breaks into Omi's country, it can be used to expand its territory with the strategy of warfare. Moreover. Although Miyoshi Chokei seized the hegemony of Kinai. But it's always because of the presence of Omi Province that he has a feeling of a knife hanging over his head.
Jinjiang Province was included in the sphere of influence of the Miyoshi family. It has always been an important strategy for Miyoshi Changkei, and it was supposed to sweep away the civil strife first, especially after the rebellion of the Tayama family in Izumi and Hanoi, before attacking Omi Province, but with the fire in Kyoto, the chain reaction made Miyoshi Changqing have to start in advance.
It has been said since ancient times that if you control Omi, you will control the world, and it is called Suzuka of the ancient Sanguan. Fupo and Fengsaka are located around Omi Province. Now, what Miyoshi Changqing has to face is how to break through the Fengban Pass, which is guarded by Mikumo, an important minister under Rokkaku Yoshixian.
Sanyun Dingzhi is an important minister under the command of Rokkaku Dinglai, and he also plays a decisive role in the inheritance of the family business by Rokkaku Yixian, and is a retainer that Rokkaku Yixian values very much. In history, he signed with his father Sankumo Nariji in the Hexagon clan, after Kannonji Castle was attacked by Oda Nobunaga Shangluo Army, Rokkaku Yoshiken, Yoshiji father and son's first thought was to flee to Sankumo City to hide, and Sankumo Dingzhi was even more in the battle of Yasu Kawara in the second year of Motogui for the Rokkaku father and son to fight to the death.
It is not easy to capture Fengban Pass before Rokkaku Yoshixian reacts, which is also the reason why Miyoshi Changqing used the grain transportation to Beijing to let the elite soldiers pretend to be people's husbands, and wanted to use a surprise way to capture Fengban Pass. Nevertheless. Miyoshi Changqing and his retainers are still not 100% sure of taking Fengsakaguan quickly, you must know that Fengsakaguan is not only Sanyun Dingzhi. It also has 800 defenders, as long as it holds on for two to three days, it is enough for the nearby Hexagon and the soldiers and horses of the subordinate Hexagon family to gather in a steady stream.
After discussing for a long time, everyone finally came up with a clever way to get the Banguan Pass. There is a small city called Usa Ancient City between Fengban Pass and Tsumoto, Usa Ancient City is a small city at the junction of Enryakuji Temple and Rokurakuji on Mt. Hiei, with the Roxagonal family donating a large amount of money to Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, the Roxagonal family no longer attaches great importance to the ancient city of Usa, and no one is sent to garrison, but it is garrisoned by the local Kenta, and the combat effectiveness is naturally not strong. Once the ancient city of Usa is captured, it can be called a bandit, and since the ancient city of Usa belongs to the Rokkaku, then the nearest defenders of Fengsakaguan will inevitably send troops and horses to exterminate the bandits. Once the troops and horses are dispatched to Fengban Pass, then Fengban Pass will fall into emptiness, and when the time comes, surprise troops will seize Fengban Pass and take the enemy by surprise.
The siege strategy is there, but which retainers are sent to lead the troops to attack the city. Miyoshi Changqing made a difficulty, there are a few generals who are very brave, but they don't know how to respond, there are a few young retainers, inexperienced, once the plan is discovered, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, Miyoshi Changqing pondered for a long time, and did not think of a reliable candidate.
Just when Miyoshi Changqing was in a dilemma, it was his younger brother Miyoshi Shiruyu who stood up and said to Miyoshi Changqing: "Brother, please don't hesitate any longer, his subordinates recommend Miyoshi Shimono Mamoru to take on the task of capturing the ancient city of Usa, and the fourth brother will take on the surprise attack on Fengsaka Pass." "Miyoshi Shimono Masayasu, Miyoshi Sanju, since Miyoshi Nagayoshi's death, Iwaki Yumi fell to Matsunaga Hide, and Miyoshi Masaysu actively stood with Miyoshi Shikyu. In the wild history, this one lived to be eighty-eight years old and was still active on the battlefield, becoming one of the ten warriors of Sanada, and mingling with Sarutobi Sasuke and Kirigakushi Caizo. The fourth brother in the mouth of Miyoshi Changqing and Miyoshi Shixiu is the Ten Rivers Ichicun who has just captured Katsuga Castle, this famous general known for his combat bravery, nicknamed Oni Shihe.
Miyoshi Minoru is able to see people accurately, and Miyoshi Masaysu can be tied for the Sanada Ten Warriors in the wild history, which shows that his martial arts are not bad, and on the other hand, it also shows that his ability to adapt to the situation is comparable to that of Sarutobi Sasuke and Kigakushi Caizo, which is suitable for improvising as bandits who captured the ancient city of Usa. Although Shihe Yicun has a rough personality, often not cool-headed, rough and simple, it is very brave, dare to rush and dare to kill, and it is just used for siege and plunder.
Miyoshi Changqing is also a famous general, and after listening to Miyoshi's opinion, he immediately issued an order to march. Some time ago, because of the sudden rise of Date Masahiro, Mrs. Miyoshi's position in Miyoshi's family gradually deteriorated, and he gradually fell to Miyoshi Shixiu, and he listened to the order and immediately went happily.
It was just dawn on 27 March.
Miyoshi Masaysu is worthy of being a major general of the Miyoshi family, and under the cover of the mob, he led his troops to the ancient city of Usa and soon arrived at the ancient city of Usa, and the defender of the ancient city of Usa was the Nobono Shosada, one of the people in the fortified field. The so-called Katada, simply put, are the local samurai who are entrenched in Katata in Omi Province. They have held power on Lake Biwa since the Kamakura period, have their own naval army, and have the same municipalities as Kai and Hakata. Later, they took refuge in the hexagonal Dinglai and became the special sailors of the hexagonal family.
On land without boats, how are these guys who rely on water to eat are Miyoshi Masa's opponents, although they resisted hard, they were still attacked by Miyoshi Masayasu and fell in less than an hour, Inokaino Shengzhen was killed in battle, and the ancient city of Usa raised the mob's gibberish flag.
After the fall of the ancient castle of Usa and the death of Inokaino Shosada in battle, the defeated soldiers quickly spread the news to all directions, and the first to get the news were Mikumo Tomoji of Osakakan Pass, Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru who temporarily resided in Sakamoto, and of course the fearful Takada people.
When Sanyun learned of the fall of the ancient city of Usa, he sent an envoy to the castle of Kannonji to report the emergency, and on the other hand, he personally led three hundred troops to the ancient city of Usa, of course, the three hundred troops could not suppress the ancient city of Usa, he was just saying that the main head was still to be sent by the Katada people.
When the news of Sanyun Ding's departure from the ancient city of Usa reached the main camp of Miyoshi Changqing, the elite of the 600 Sanhao Army, which had already been waiting for the day, launched a fierce attack on Fengban Pass under the leadership of the fierce general Shihe Ichicun, and the two sides were extremely fierce as soon as they came into contact.
Ten rivers are worthy of being known as the fierce generals of the ghost ten rivers, and the elite of the six hundred and three good armies is also worthy of being called the elite, and they put all their forces into the battlefield as soon as they came up, and Fengbanguan was in full swing for a while, and Sanyun Dingzhi learned that Fengbanguan was attacked and wanted to return but was counterattacked by Miyoshi Masayasu, and more than 300 soldiers and horses of Sanyoshi Masakang were entangled with Sanyun Dingzhi and thousands of people in Jiantian, and there was no sign of collapse under the siege of Sanyun Dingzhi.
The defenders of the Osaka Pass soon collapsed because of the leaderless dragons and countless casualties under the fierce attack of the Ten Rivers One Existence, and the Ten Rivers One Existence paid hundreds of lives and more than 200 wounded to conquer the Osaka Pass, and Sankumo saw that the Osaka Pass was lost, and he could only retreat to the fortress Seta Castle near the Seda River.
With the fall of the Osaka Pass, a steady stream of Miyoshi troops came to the Omi Province Plain, and Rokkaku Yoshiken learned of the arrival of the Miyoshi Army, and while contacting allies, he began to gather troops at Seta Castle, and the two sides began to fight on both sides of the Seta River.
