Nagasu Castle is located in the mountains and forests, inaccessible, especially after the entire territory of Hanoi fell into the Date family, the passage was blocked, and the sources of information were very narrow, although the eyeliner was sent to Kyoto, but it was not easy to inquire and pass on the news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoJust when Hatakeyama Takamasa was anxious,Lurking in front of Kyoto's eyes, I sent a letter again.,A letter hidden in a vest.。 The content of the letter is not much, and most of it is folk rumor in Kyoto, but the tone is deliberately accentuated at the end of the letter, indicating the frequent movement of troops in Kyoto.

By the time Hatakeyama Takamasa finished reading this letter, the eyeliner lurking in Kyoto was not a very powerful figure, but with years of experience, Hatakeyama Takamasa was still able to peek into it a little bit, and in connection with the above to form the Shikoku Legion, he made up the cause and effect, and attributed the frequent military movements to the formation of the Shikoku Legion. After making up for it, Hatakeyama Takamasa was not puzzled, but shocked, thinking that these military deployments were aimed at him.

The heart of being a thief is empty, not to mention that what he wants to do is to kill his head, Hatakeyama Takamasa was already suspicious, and now when he hears this kind of news, he doesn't know what to do for a while, and he is furious under anxiety, and his expression is Nankang.

After Hatakeyama Takamasa made up for his brain, he was even more at a loss, he didn't know anything about the deployment of the Date family, and if he didn't understand the opponent, of course he couldn't come up with a countermeasure, he originally wanted Suzuki Shigei to take the Saga people to jump out first to see the movements of the Date family, but he didn't expect Suzuki Shigei to actually counter him. Hatakeyama Takamasa knew that it was difficult to make Suzuki Shigei make a head rafter, he hadn't tried, Suzuki Shigei didn't do it, but he didn't dare, he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to do.

Hatakeyama Takamasa wrote a letter to Imagawa Yoshimasa asking for help, but in fact, it was just a life to wave the flag and shout, and he also knew that even if Imagawa Yoshimato went out of battle, it would definitely be too late to help him. Now the only way to delay is to delay and wait until the situation changes.

Imagawa Yoshimasa couldn't count on it, and immediately raised troops to rebel against him, and he didn't dare, Hatakeyama Takamasa could only try to save himself, but what good way did he have, otherwise he wouldn't have the idea of fighting to the death.

When Hatakeyama Takamasa didn't know what to do with the situation in front of him, his younger brother Hatakeyama Masano appeared in front of him and shouted, "Brother! "Hatakeyama Masanoshi still has his forehead hair and his face is pale, but he is handsome and heroic.

Hatakeyama Takamasa was angry in his heart, he didn't lose his temper as usual, you must know that since he retreated to Nagayashi City, he has lost a lot of cronies and retainers, and only his younger brother is left around him who is still quite powerful, he glanced at his subordinates, and his subordinates retreated, not daring to intervene in the brotherly dispute.

Hatakeyama Masaneng looked at Gao Masa, with a stubborn look on his face, and shouted loudly: "Brother, why do you want to hide it from me, and you still have to form an alliance with the Suzuki clan of Saga to fight against the Date family, didn't you already say it before, the Date family is powerful, and we have to forbear first?" ”

Hatakeyama Takamasa looked at his younger brother coldly and shouted: "Hmph, you know about the Four Nations Legion, they want us to send troops and contribute, how can we endure it." The fist hidden in his sleeve clenched and released, and he tried to keep his composure and not intend to punch him.

The young and vigorous Hatakeyama Masano did not flinch, he said: "I think that since we belong to the Date family, we must be prepared to be transferred at will, and since the Date family asks us to contribute troops, we must promise to reward us for our military achievements after the war, but we should not deepen our hatred with the Date family because of this, it is simply stupid." ”

Hatakeyama Takamasa clenched his fists and said coldly: "Extremely stupid, haha, what you say is interesting, in your opinion, I should stick out my head and let them cut it off, so that you can sit in this position, isn't it, come, you sit up and try, is it warm?" ”

Hatakeyama Masaneng never thought that Hatakeyama Takamasa would say such words, he took a step back, but he still raised his head and did not mean to lower his head.

Hatakeyama Takamasa suppressed the increasingly strong unhappiness in his heart, nodded fiercely, and said, "Since you don't dare, let me go down!" "He's a little tired of it, I'm going to kill him, and as soon as the thought comes to him, he immediately finds a reason.

There is a tradition of the Hatakeyama clan's brothers' rebellion, and one of the reasons for the Onin Rebellion is the brotherly wall caused by the Hatakeyama clan over the issue of inheritance, and in this bloody Warring States turmoil, it is no longer surprising that flesh and blood are killing each other. In order to survive, it is not surprising that fathers and sons kill each other, and brothers fight against each other.

Hatakeyama Takamasa had the idea of killing his younger brother, and Hatakeyama Masaneng, who withdrew from the study, was in a cold sweat, and he also rose up with the idea of preserving himself, with the traditional Hatakeyama clan, the two brothers really thought of the same idea, and the hero saw the same thing.

Hatakeyama Masanoshi himself has no troops, and all he can think of is asking for foreign aid, and the first thing he thinks of is his father-in-law, Naomasa Yasumi.

Yasumi Naomasa, commonly known as Misakumori, also known as Yasumi Zongfang, an important minister of the Hatakeyama clan in Kawachi, led the two castles of Jiaoye and Iimoriyama. Nakamura Engako, a retainer of the Yamato Kokuchi clan, the adopted son of the Yasumi clan, and the military records are called Naomasa, and the name is confirmed in ancient documents. This article takes the name of Naomasa Yasumi.

After Anmi Naomasa took possession of Katsuno and Iimoriyama two castles, he began to plan to seize the power of the Hatakeyama family, and the guardian of Kawachi at that time was the Hatakeyama clan, although the Hatakeyama family was called the guardian, but it has always been just a puppet regime, successively for the guardian Daiki Sawa Nagamasa, Yusa Chokyo held the real power, and the family governor was arbitrarily abolished and exiled. In addition to the civil strife, other armies such as Hosokawa and Miyoshi attacked Hanoi one after another, and Miyoshi Chokyo approached the main city of the Tayama family in 1548 (the 17th year of Astronomical), which made the Tayama family low from then on.

Yasumi Naomasa took advantage of the low prestige of the ten lords of Hatakeyama to seize a lot of power in the Tayama family, and later tried to murder Tayama Takamasa in 1558 (the first year of Eiroku), but Tayama Takamasa learned of the conspiracy of the two and fled to the town of Nakai, so the two supported Tayama Takamasa's brother Hatakeyama Akitaka as a puppet.

After Anmi Naomasa seized power, he was called the Guardian of Kawachi.

Soon Miyoshi Nagakei invaded Kawachi country, and even took away the Iimoriyama Castle, history turned a corner here, Hatakeyama Takamasa was unwilling to be controlled by Miyoshi Chokei, and soon after he and Yasumi Naomasa negotiated peace, Hatakeyama Takamasa used Honganji Temple to vigorously rectify internal affairs, and killed Yuzo Shinko. Yasumi Naomasa was not expelled in the end because of his accurate position, but he was still implicated and suppressed, and now the troops in the hands of Yasumi Naomasa are only a few hundred.

Hatakeyama Masano's sudden visit startled Naomasa Yasumi. His first thought was not Hatakeyama Takamasa coming to test him, whether he had a second heart, and after thinking about it, he threw this idea out, now he has little power at hand, if Hatakeyama Takamasa suspects him, he can do it with a knife and a gun, why play this set of hypocrisy and wrongdoing.

An saw Naomasa's expression solemn and did not agree immediately. He obviously saw some of the interests in the eyes of Hatakeyama Takamasa and the political brothers, and maybe if he used it properly, he could regain his power, but he also knew that his strength alone would not be able to shake Hatakeyama Takamasa.

Yasumi Naomasa glanced at Hatakeyama Masano, the safest way is to catch Hatakeyama Masano, and then send it to Hatakeyama Takamasa, this method is not bad, but it is likely to be implicated. He already had a criminal record, and he also had a part in the expulsion of Hatakeyama Takamasa by Yuzo Christianity, and he was still the main planner, if it wasn't for the conflict with Youzo Religion later, he would not have thought of inviting Hatakeyama Takamasa and Yuzo Religion to fight in the ring. I never thought that Hatakeyama Takamasa had traveled abroad, grew up, and became a tiger, and the first step after returning home was to booby trap and kill Yuzuo's religion, and then cut the grass and eradicate the roots and killed more than 100 people up and down the Yuzuo family, and completely held the military power and financial power tightly in his hands.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and Anmi Naomasa also has it, and he knows that even if he goes to tell the truth now, the consequences will not be good. Hatakeyama Takamasa only needs to ask, why didn't Hatakeyama Masaka discuss with others, and he wanted to tell you Yasumi Naomasa, if there was any ulterior secret.

Anmi Naomasa's brows furrowed even deeper, the infighting of the Hatakeyama family has always been bloody and tragic, back then he could witness the killing of all the old and young members of the Yuzuo family, the dispute between the head of the family has always been stained red with blood, he knew that Hatakeyama Takamasa would not let go of this good opportunity.

Yasumi Naomasa pondered for a long time, and then slowly turned his eyes to the third person in the room, his advisor Kusabe Fangzuna, this samurai who should have been killed by the Miyoshi Army last year, but he was still alive and kicking in the history of this article.

Kusabe Fangzuna hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Lord, this matter is very important, everyone knows the fate of being an enemy of the Date family, and it is really a foolish and selfish thing for him to lose the hundreds of years of inheritance of the Hatakeyama family and thousands of good men for his own selfishness." ”

Yasumi Naomasa bowed slightly, agreeing with what Kusabe Fangzuna said. If they can defeat the Date family, they will not withdraw from Hanoi and rely on the mountains to block the Date family's attack. After a winter of suffering, Nagasusaki, who had no food and no morale, wanted to go against the Date family again, it was really a matter of death.

Kusabe Fangzuna continued: "From the standpoint of Hatakeyama Takamasa, he believes that the formation of the Shikoku Legion is to trap him, and he wants to use the Hatakeyama family's centuries-old foundation to fight thousands of good men. However, from our standpoint, this may be a good opportunity for us to integrate into the Date family. It is clear to everyone that Date originated in the Chugoku region, especially in Bishu Shikoku, and only recently captured. His original intention in forming the Shikoku Legion was to conquer Shikoku, and it was not without the intention of allowing the people to integrate into the Date family. ”

Anmi Naomasa nodded and asked, "Based on what you see, Ji will be Anout?" ”

Kusabe Fangzuna pondered for a moment, threw out his opinion, and said: "Nagaya Castle is full of Hatakegami Takamasa's eyeliner, and the matter of Hatakeyama Masaka's coming to talk secretly today will definitely be reported to him, and we must first leave Nagaya Castle, and then go to Date House." ”

An was stunned for a moment, and said, "Defect to Date's house?!" ”

Kusabe Fangzuna nodded slightly and said: "Yes, defecting to the Date family, since Hatakeyama Takamasa is dead, we can't die with him and defect to the Date family, and there is another benefit, that is, to expose the conspiracy of Hatakeyama Takamasa and let him have nothing to hide." ”

An Jian Naomasa hesitated for a moment and said, "This? "He originally intended to defect to Date's house, but going away empty-handed like this was just the fate of a small man, and he was unwilling! But soon someone came to make up his mind.

Hatakeyama Takamasa sent someone to inform Yasumi Naomasa to go to the conference room for a meeting, where did Yasumi Naomasa dare to stay in Nagayashi Castle anymore, but if you want to leave Nagayashi Castle, you have to take a boat, but fortunately, Kusabe Fangzuna has already prepared a way out.

Conference room.

Hatakeyama Takamasa was still waiting for the arrival of Naomasa Yasumi, and of course around the conference room he had arranged some people who should not have appeared, these people were holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, mostly knives and axes, and with a fierce smile on their faces, called Knife Axeman.

Waiting for the next person to notice, and then waiting for the next person to report, it has been a tea time, just when Hatakeyama Takamasa couldn't bear it, when the general guarding the door hurriedly came to ask for help, he woke up like a dream, and under the shock, his heart was furious, and he shouted loudly to chase and kill.

As we all know, Nagasu Castle is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, and if you want to get out of the city, you must take a boat, and Anami Naomasa and Hatakeyama Masaneng, two ghosts who lack virtue, lit a fire before leaving by boat, and set all the remaining ships on fire, which means that there is no boat to take if you want to chase. If you want to chase over the mountains and mountains, where can you catch up.

Anmi Naomasa once again set foot on solid ground, looked back at Nagaya Castle, and he skillfully persuaded the people in the castle on the other side of Kozawa that he did not leave immediately, but blocked the gate of Nagasu Castle, and at the same time sent Kusa Futsuna with Hatakeyama Masanoshi to ask for help.

Hatakeyama Takamasa was a tragedy, he originally wanted to use the geographical advantages of Nagaya Castle to hold on, but what he didn't expect was that Anmi Naomasa and Hatakeyama Masano rebelled, and he also burned down the ship, making Hatakeyama Takamasa trapped in Nagayashi Castle.

Even if he wanted to go over the mountains and make a detour, Hatakeyama Takamasa was not very sure about breaking through the castle blocked outside Nagaya Castle, you must know that the news that he wanted to oppose the Date family had not yet spread, and once it spread, it was conceivable that most of the people in Naomasu Naoma Naoma would rebel like Yasumi Naomasa. Originally, he still thought that he would pretend to be a snake with the Date family first, stabilize everyone's emotions, and wait until the future to advertise that he would be treated unfairly, and he could even publicize that the Date family was going to kill everyone, and by then the rice had already been cooked, and it was too late to make up for it. Only follow him all the way to the dark, but he never thought that Yasumi Naomasa would be so decisive, and without waiting for him to serve him with a sword and axe, he ran out and set fire to all the ships.
