Conquest of Arima (Part I)

The Western Route Army, which had been thought to be in a stalemate, defeated the main mobile unit of the Great Friendly Army led by Toji Michiyuki under the successive offensives of Kiyokawa Henghide, Matsushima Hengkatsu, and Iwase Hengtada. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Western Route Army was victorious, and the Eastern Route Army was not ambiguous, and the Otomo family was defeated and retreated, and they had already cowered in the inner city of Funai and did not dare to come out, and other places either surrendered or were killed or besieged.

The victory of the Eastern and Western Route armies put a lot of pressure on the other generals who stayed in Kokura Castle, and by the time Masahiro arrived in the conference room under the escort of his attendants, the others had already arrived, and a bunch of retainers were chatting around a large sand table in the middle of the room.

Ishikawa Hisataka is old, but he is not as keen on achieving military exploits as young people, so he simply does not squeeze forward, and retreats to the side to drink tea and rest, and Iga Hissataka, the lord of Kaneda Castle, bows slightly to Ishikawa Hisataka, and quietly avoids the side to rest.

Iga Kutaka had been loyal to the Matsuda clan of Kanegawa Castle in Bizen Province since his father's and grandfather's generation, but by the time of Matsuda Motoki and Motoken, the power of the Matsuda clan declined, causing Iga Kutaka to be dissatisfied. Later, Iga Kutaka accepted Date Masaki's strategy, betrayed the main family and attacked Kanegawa Castle, and Matsuda Motoken was killed in battle. After the castle was broken, Iga Kutaka became the lord of Kanegawa Castle. However, after Mashiro moved Jucheng to Okayama Castle, the status of Jinchuan Castle became awkward. Originally, it was the front line against the Niko clan.,It's become a place in the heart.,As Igakutaka who had the experience of going down, he often lives in sorrow.。

Soon after Shoheng took over Okayama Castle, rumors spread that Iga Kutaka had a good relationship with the Miyoshi family. Fortunately, Masahiro is not a very suspicious person, but his close retainers have repeatedly spoken out, and Iga Hisataka has a long history of betraying the Matsuda family. Fortunately, Masahiro did not live in Okayama Castle for long before he actively prepared for the war, preparing to go to Luo, and after going to Luo, he built a new main city, Osaka.

Iga Kutaka was in a bad mood, his feelings were not good, his brows were tightly knit, and he was anxious. He often lives in anxiety, knowing that he is not a genealogical retainer of the Date family, nor is he a close to Zhengheng, let alone a marriage with Zhengheng. Even if Okayama Castle is no longer the main city of the Date family and retreats to the second main city, even so, it will be difficult for Kanegawa Castle and Iga Kutaka to sleep peacefully.

Zhengheng is not harmful, but Zhengheng's cronies and retainers will not be without ideas, a retainer with a criminal record is either far away from the main city, or has made repeated military exploits, so as to ensure his long-term peace and stability.

However, Iga Hisura has not had any military exploits since the expulsion and forced Matsuda Motoken to death, and he has not gained any military exploits in the battle of Shangluo, so how can he not be sad and anxious.

Iga Kutaka saw the arrival of Zhengheng, and a trace of panic involuntarily flashed in his eyes, the political situation is constantly changing, changing every moment, the growth rate of the Date family is too fast, and he is a little overwhelmed when it is so fast. Now it seems that Zheng Heng is the most promising person to dominate the world, and at the age of 30, he is not complacent about the glory he has obtained, but keeps forging ahead, which does not make him feel a little flustered.

However, Iga Kutaka clenched his fists, this conquest of Kyushu may be the day of his emergence, as long as he can make a military exploit, and then submit a request to Zhengheng to transfer the seal, he must be able to be affirmed, so that he can sleep well, and second, he can also have a land to inherit. If he continues to stay in Jinchuan Castle, one day he will either be driven crazy and commit suicide, or he will find a small mistake and be forced to commit suicide, and there will be only one dead word left and right, so it is better to abandon Jinchuan Castle and come to a new place to start a family business belonging to the Iga family.

Hisataka Ishikawa glanced at Iga Kutaka and saw that sweat was oozing slightly on his forehead, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Although Takamatsu Castle and Kanegawa Castle both defend Okayama Castle, he gave his only daughter to Masahiro at a very early age to become the wife of the side room, and once had the possibility of becoming a stepfamily after the death of Mrs. Uyama, but Masahiro naturally could not compete with the imperial daughter after marrying the imperial daughter.

Ishikawa Hisataka can be said to have no merit and hard work, his daughter Jihime is already the mother of one son and two daughters, and one son will inherit the Ishikawa family and will be the head of a country in the future.

Ishikawa Hisataka knew the main purpose of today's meeting, and with the victory of the Eastern and Western Route Armies, the generals who stayed in Ogura Castle were in a hurry, and no one wanted to watch the others succeed in succession.

There are more than 70,000 people in the east and west armies, and if there is no political balance to coordinate, I am afraid that something big will happen, but the retainers who followed him on the expedition saw Noyama Yosaki, Shimizu Soji, Murakami Tsuyuki, Kiyokawa Hengxiu, Matsushima Hengkatsu, Iwase Hengzhong and others eating meat in front, and the family of Otomo, the first male lord of Kyushu, was beaten into paper tigers, and I don't know how many people in the army were hot to make contributions.

As soon as Masahiro sat down, Tozawa Hakusai appeared outside the door of the conference room, walked quickly to Yamanaka Kanosuke's side, and handed over a piece of information.

Is it another victory!

Everyone thought so in their hearts, now the Otomo family can be said to be a girl who has been stripped of her clothes and naked, and she can win a victory with a little effort.

Zheng Heng looked at the information and said in surprise: "There is civil strife in the former guardian generation of Xifei? Arima Yoshinao actually directly imprisoned Arima Qingchun, tsk, but let him escape, it will be an astronomical rebellion?! "The Astronomical Rebellion is the story of the cannibalism that broke out in the astronomical years of the Michinoida's distant relatives of the Michinoida, the Mutsu Ida family is the clan family, and the Bichu Date family is the descendant of the Tajimada family, which is considered the descendant of the Mutsu Oda family, but now the people of the Mutsu Oda family do not dare to put the clan family in front of the Mashiro, who let the Mashiro marry the concubine of the previous emperor as the main room. This is the first time in hundreds of years.

Whether the astronomical rebellion would break out or not, Zhengheng didn't know, but when he finished speaking, the retainers present raised their spirits one after another. Everyone thinks that when the Date family went to Kyushu in person, Arima not only did not come to visit, but put on a show to show face, and now there is a tragedy of his son imprisoning Lao Tzu.

Iga Kutaka suddenly shouted loudly: "My lord, the minister is willing to lead the people of the headquarters to go to crusade against the prisoner father and the traitor Arima Yizhi. ”

As soon as Iga Kutaka finished speaking, everyone woke up like a dream, just now everyone was still thinking about how to get the approval of the political balance to send troops to get the battle merits, and now the opportunity has come, and Iga Jiulong has taken the lead.

The crowd shouted for battle.
