biquge.info On the night of April 11, 1552, the twenty-first year of astronomy, the moon was rising, and two people came straight from a distance, stopping in front of the gate of Yukiyama Castle, which was a chaotic wave of delivering information, and the young lord of Koyama Castle, Ishikawa Hisashiki, woke up and hurriedly opened the letter, his face suddenly became iron blue and gloomy, and led the two chaotic waves to hurriedly walk towards the bedroom of Ishikawa Hisachi, the "eagle of Bichu".
Ishikawa Jiuzhi in the bedroom was panting, a young woman was tightly wrapped around his waist and kept shaking, hearing the sound of impatient footsteps outside, his body involuntarily contracted and twitched sharply, he didn't hold back, and suddenly let out a breath, the young woman "hummed" and moaned twice, as if she was still a little unfinished, but Ishikawa Jiuzhi had to get up and ask softly: "Who is outside?" ”
Ishikawa Hisashi paused for a moment, he had just heard a moaning sound coming from the bedroom, if it was normal, he was also secretly in love with this father's charming concubine, and often wanted to talk to her to express his admiration, but now his mood was heavy and there was no other thought at all, he was respectful with a slightly impatient voice, and replied: "Father, it's a child, are you resting?" ”
Ishikawa Hisachi knew that his sister-in-law Ishikawa Hisashi was not very old, but he was quite calm, he thought that he would let him be alone in a few years, he suddenly thought of the sister-in-law outside the door who seemed to be quite fond of his favorite concubine, cough, shook his head, and motioned to the pet concubine who got up and said: "It turned out to be Saburo Shiro, come in, go, and light up the candle flame a little."
After a lot of effort, a light appeared in the originally dim room, and the twenty-something Ishikawa Hisashi stepped into the room, saw a charming figure behind the screen flashed away, and hurriedly respectfully bowed to his father Ishikawa Hisachi and said: "Father, Fang Xiaoer ran into two family turmoil and hurriedly asked to see them There was surprising news, so I came to disturb my father's night rest, and asked my father to forgive me" said and handed over a letter, one side of the page was already soaked, and it was full of sweat stains, Apparently Ishikawa Kushiki oozing out when he first came in
Ishikawa Hisachi's brows wrinkled involuntarily, his originally somewhat tired body straightened up in vain, and a drop of sweat hung on his forehead I don't know if it was caused by overwork just now, or if it was caused by reading the letter, obviously the latter, his face was also blue and raised his head and said: "San Lang Shiro, what do you think?" ”
Ishikawa Hisashi pondered for a moment and said: "Father, Sarukake Castle, which has resisted the Mimura clan for more than ten years, has not been blocked for even a day, and it can be seen that the strength of the Date family is still to invite the cousin of Takamatsu Castle to come together and come up with a charter, otherwise it will be difficult for the Yuyama Castle family to resist alone."
Ishikawa Jiuzhi's fingers trembled, and he didn't answer He was thinking about what to do, secretly scolding the Ape Castle for being incompetent, and it broke without even resisting for a day, if he resisted for a long time, he would definitely go to deliver food, where did he think that he had just wanted to take a look at the Ape Castle and heard such a huge bad news, and after a long time, Fang Zi frowned and said: "Your cousin's side has not visited Yukiyama City for a long time because of Zhiji's matter, and he is depressed, I'm afraid?" He didn't continue, the meaning was obvious, the relationship between the two families was not as good as before
Ishikawa Hisashi secretly said in his heart: "Is it because you are depressed in your heart and don't want to make concessions to solve the contradiction?" Of course, he would not accuse him in person, and frowned: "Father, cooperation is two benefits, and division is two harms, if you add Takamatsu Castle, the Ishikawa family can mobilize 3,000 people, and if you invite your brother-in-law Matsuda Zuojin of Jinchuan Castle to go out together, you can reach 5,000 people, which is enough to force the Date family to stop, just like treating Zhuang as a capital, nominally subordinate to the Date family" Here is talking about Matsuda Zuojin general Yuanhui, not Matsuda Zuojin general Yuansheng, the latter is the father of the former
Ishikawa Jiuzhi nodded slightly, he quite agreed with his sister-in-law's analysis, just as Zhuang Weizi entered Matsuyama Castle back then, he did it, raised troops to force Zhuang Weizi to agree to the Ishikawa family's request, on the surface subordinate to the Zhuang family, but in fact it was still an independent kingdom, coughed lightly, and his eyes flashed with a cunning fox-like essence: "Very good, you immediately take my handwritten letter to Takamatsu Castle, ask for Zhiji to be married to you, become your main wife, and invite him to fight together to resist the invasion of the Date family, Your brother-in-law, I'll send someone to inform you! Book*"
Ishikawa Hisashi didn't expect his father to let him marry Jihime, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly defended in a low voice: "Father, I heard that Jihime was no longer a virgin during his trip, and I am afraid that it will ruin the reputation of the Ishikawa family" It turned out that after Jihime returned to Takamatsu Castle that day, there were some things that were not favorable to Jihime, and most of them were Shimizu Soji's father, Shimizu Zong, who was angry and drunk, and Chihime only cried without justification, and the rumors spread more and more happily, and the fire of people's gossip was rising, They were all guessing who that man was, but afterwards, Shimizu Sect knew that he had made a big mistake and stopped talking
Ishikawa Hisatochi smiled bitterly, of course he knew that Tomohime's reputation was not good now, but he didn't retract what he had just said, and asked: "Hmph, your cousin only has one daughter, as long as you marry her and treat him well for me, at that time, Yukiyama Castle and Takamatsu Castle will be able to be completely combined, understand?" Get out"
Ishikawa retreated
Hisachi Ishikawa scolded, "Silly boy? He said no more, opened a piece of washi paper, wrote something on it, closed it and sealed it in an envelope, lit some wax with a candle, and covered it with a small seal that he had with him, opened the wooden door, and shouted outside, "Where is the person?" As he shouted, one of the guards came to him, handed the letter to him, and said, "Send this letter to Kanegawa Castle immediately, and hand it over to General Matsuda Zuojin in person."
……
Kanegawa Castle, the key place for the passage of Bikoku to Mimasaka, was built on a hill that could overlook the Kanegawa River, it was a castle built on the top of a hill, leaning against the mountain on the back, and there was a gate at the entrance of the ramp leading to the castle, and several soldiers were guarding early on the morning of the twelfth, and two people rode straight from Yukiyama Castle and stopped in front of the gate, which was the messenger who delivered the letter of Ishikawa Hisatomo, Matsuda Motomori, ordered the messenger to go down and rest, and hurriedly opened the letter, the content of the letter was to invite him to go out together to resist the attack of the Date family
The rising star Date Masahiro is arrogant and unreasonable, and frequently attacks the three counties of Oda, Houyue, and Asaguchi, and expels the three villages of the family, and has now broken through the Sarukake Castle, killing Hoida Minoru, and the army is approaching Yukiyama Castle, if it is ignored, it will endanger the two counties of Shimochi and Toku, because the relationship between the two families is harmonious, and the lips are cold, so I hope that Your Excellency will regard it as a common enemy, and destroy it together, and do not hesitate to send troops to resist the attack of the Date family immediately after reading the letter
After reading the letter sent by Hisachi Ishikawa, Matsuda Motomori, the overlord of Nishibizen, sneered at Matsuda Motomori, who was about forty years old, well-maintained, and looked very spirited, wearing a black crown hat on his head, and his exposed hair was neatly combed, his nose bridge was high, the tip of his nose was very pointed, like an eagle, his face was slender, his lips were tightly closed, and he was a rather heroic man, and it was his nose that earned him the reputation of "Bizen Eagle", and Ishikawa Hisachi's "Bichu no Bear" It complemented each other perfectly, but the sneer hanging under his towering nose seemed overly confident
Matsuda Motomori looked back at his old Shishan Castle's Jin Guangzong and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the one-eyed dragon Date Masahiro in the preparation would suddenly make a difficult move, and in one fell swoop, he would beat Mimura Repair and Suiida Minoru to death, I heard that he was only eighteen years old, he was not a good person, the sea water was incomprehensible, and at a young age, many long-famous bigwigs fell one after another, and now it is the turn of the bear in Bizhong, he is scared, and wants to invite us to send troops to help, it is simply unreasonable, we have stood several times just for him in the past two years, Three times, he didn't give us a single opening fee, I never thought he would be such a brazen person, even close to dementia"
The stone mountain castle of the Golden Light Sect is the original site of Okayama Castle that later made the Ukita Nao family famous, the Golden Light Sect is the old man and think tank of Matsuda Motomori, the reason why it was defeated in the hands of the Ukita Naoka, there are really many reasons, the biggest of which is that Matsuda Motomori hanged, his son Matsuda Motoki was unable to resist the invasion of the Ukita Naojia and was tired of the persuasion of the Golden Light Sogao and the Matsuda clan was defeated, and after the general trend had gone, the Golden Light Sogaku surrendered, and the Ukita Naojia was happy to kill and surrender to the ministers, Jin Guang Zonggao unfortunately became one of them, and now Jin Guang Zonggao is like a fish in water, nodded and said: "I also feel the same way, but since the main mother married here, Matsuda and Ishikawa have become in-laws, and it seems that they will not change, so they may as well send a letter to Jiuzhigong to send troops according to the instructions, but also make it clear that it is now the spring ploughing soldiers who do not want to leave their hometowns, and the family lacks money and food to pay the opening fee, please understand, after the spring ploughing is over, you can only send troops to Xingshan Castle, so if Jiuzhigong wants the Matsuda family to immediately raise troops to rescue." , It is inevitable that a large amount of money will need to be allocated, and His Royal Highness will need to be reserved and beat well, but he can't be forced to be in a hurry, forcing Yukiyama Castle to be undefeated after the unfortunate war with the Date family, forcing the Date family to leave Yukiyama Castle unwillingly, so the result is the most beneficial to the Matsuda family."
Matsuda Motomori nodded slightly and said: "Yes, yes, Ishikawa Jiuzhi is indifferent, he likes to cross the river and tear down the bridge, he can't make him comfortable, he must beat it well, you tell me how many people should be beaten" Saying that, the two discussed how to beat Ishikawa Jiuzhi, laughing as they spoke, as if they were happy
……
Takamatsu Castle has achieved two people, one is to use the unprecedented water attack strategy in the history of the Japanese War, Yushiba Hideyoshi in the Celestial Empire, the water attack plan of the Celestial Empire is rotten, it is the first time, and it is also a big book, hehe, the other is to protect the soldiers in the city, the loyal and brave man Shimizu Soji in front of the two armies in front of the two armies, their background is Oda Nobunaga's death in the Honnoji Revolution and Kobayakawa Takakei persuaded Mori Terumoto to agree to Yushiba Hideyoshi's unreasonable demands, thus leading the Mori family to lose the best opportunity to create the Maori shogunate, Let the jumping clown Yu Shiba Hideyoshi successfully ascend to the position
Now the city lord of Takamatsu Castle is still Ishikawa Hisataka, then Shimizu Soji is claustrophobic because of the relationship between Shimizu General and Big Mouth, and there is the relationship between Masahiro and has lost the opportunity to become the lord of Takamatsu City, and it is impossible to stage a pre-battle seppuku drama At this moment, Ishikawa Hisataka's face is cloudy, and there is a letter from Ishikawa Hisachi on the desk, the content of the letter has nothing to do with Date Masahiro's pressure to send troops to advance and retreat together, At the end of the letter, he wrote the content of asking Jihime to marry Ishikawa Hisashiki, originally it was a matter of harmony between the two families, but after listening to Ishikawa Hisashi's reluctance and attitude, it was like a strong melon, so how could he be in a good mood
Ishikawa Hissataka snorted coldly in a low voice, and muttered: "Now I have to rely on Takamatsu Castle to resist the invasion of the Date family before I thought of me Hmph, what did you do before, Ishikawa Hisashi's attitude is like this now, Jihime will be better in the future, hum, don't think about it, but who is that man?" ”
Ishikawa Hisataka's main wife, Mrs. Shimizu, hurriedly arrived, and said in a sad voice with a sad face: "I asked from Ji Ji's personal maid, Ji Ji has been calling a person's name in a dream for months, it should be him"
Ishikawa Hisataka's eyes widened, and the green tendons on his forehead protruded, obviously this person who ruined his reputation made him grit his teeth and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
Mrs. Shimizu was startled, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's Date Masahiro, the head of the Agaida family."
Ishikawa Hisataka took a step back and took half a step, his face was red and blue, and an unwilling look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly laughed and said: "I see, I should have thought it would be him, I didn't expect it to be him, I didn't expect it to be him Haha, so much, even now that the Date family is strong, he has already occupied five and a half counties of land in the nine counties of China, and it won't be long before he can truly achieve hegemony in China If the Ishikawa family of Takamatsu Castle can take advantage of this opportunity to turn to the Date family, I only have one daughter, Zhiji, When the time comes, choosing one of Ji-hee's children to raise and inherit Takamatsu Castle will also be a good thing to rely on, and there is a lot to be done at this time."
Mrs. Shimizu suddenly felt that her husband had become a little strange, and she said in a daze: "It is rumored that Date Zhengheng is a money-hungry and womanizer, and he has more than 20 wives and concubines.
Ishikawa Hisabaka sighed and said: "Zhiji thinks about it day and night, and her love roots have been deeply planted, if she hadn't thought about it behind closed doors, I'm afraid that gossip would kill her Although Date's means of political balance are disgraceful, but people are now the most promising people in China to unify Beizhong, and spend his time to get Zhiji, doesn't it mean that he also likes Zhiji?" Madam, it's better for you to go and talk to her about the current situation, so it's better to plan early."
Mrs. Qing Shui sighed and stopped talking, she didn't know the danger of gossip, if she let Zhiji know about the things outside, she would definitely immediately look for death and life, and now she can only do this, I only hope that Zhiji can live happily and retreat
However, Ishikawa Hisataka heard about this, and the feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and the sky suddenly improved, although he was still a little unhappy about Date Masahiro's forced entry without permission, but now that he is stronger than people, he can only put the unhappiness out of his mind, thinking about the benefits of contributing to this matter, and hurriedly wrote a letter for his cronies and retainers to send to Sarukake Castle, explaining the various schemes of Yukiyama Castle, and finally mentioning the matter of mentioning Jihime, and the others are not written, as long as Masahiro receives it, he will definitely understand the meaning of it
……
Hurriedly occupied Oda, Houyue, and the three counties of Asaguchi, originally thought that the first battle would be over, but I didn't expect that there would be so many things in the follow-up, all of a sudden it was all on his shoulders, and he had to dispose of it one by one, but fortunately he had a group of good retainers to help dispose of it, and gradually began to straighten out a lot, but there were still many things that were not disposed of, and the matter of land inspection also began with spring ploughing, after all, the three village relatives, the three villages were pro-family, the village was grand, and the elders of Hosokawa Tongxun were all expelled at once, and the ones who were killed were killed, All the land they left behind belonged to the Date family, and the land of several bigwigs together accounted for more than half of the land in the three counties, and they got so much land, and there were vacant castles to be distributed, these things had to be disposed of one by one, and Zhengheng was so busy that he had a headache and brain fever in the past two days
got Ishikawa Hisashi's letter, Zhengheng just wondered in his heart: "It's really strange, I'm so busy with headaches and brain fever now, where do I have the heart to attack Yukiyama Castle in a short period of time, Ishikawa Hisachi would think that I would send troops immediately, and gather soldiers and horses immediately regardless of spring ploughing, such an unwise thing, it was really interesting to do it, and my daughter would write a letter to remind her if she was insulted, it seems that this is the characteristic tradition of the Wa Kingdom, well, in the future, the wives and concubines are afraid that they will have one more sister It seems that a big war is inevitable, hehe, Hisachi Ishikawa of Koyama Castle and Motomori Matsuda of Nishibizen, an interesting combination"
Under the fear of Ishikawa Hisachi, he began to gather the peasants and soldiers in the countryside despite the spring ploughing, gathered a large number of peasants and soldiers in Koyama Castle, and sent a lot of money and grain to invite 1,500 people from Matsuda Motomori, and gathered nearly 5,500 people in Koyama Castle at once
Zheng Heng didn't expect that Xingshan City would gather such a large number of troops, looking at a map and thinking: "It seems that the battle is inevitable on this occasion, it is not my style to defend the city, and the formation is arranged on the bank of the Gaoliang River, I want to see if you dare to cross the Gaoliang River?"
