The spring was warm and cold, and in the conference room of Guanyin Temple City, the hexagonal Zuojing doctor Yixian listened to the report of Yamaoka Jingyuki, the son of Yamaoka Jingyuki, the lord of Seta Castle, the head of the Jiangnan flag, and his face was as calm as ever, without the slightest change, as if he didn't care.

There was silence in the conference room, only the anxious voice of Yamaoka Keitaka could be heard, and there was no whispering, which was obviously different from the noise of the joint meeting of important ministers that people imagined, since Rokkaku Yoshiken forced the Jiangbei Asai family to submit two years ago, Rokkaku Yoshiken's reputation was unparalleled for a while.

Rokkaku Yixian looked at the ministers below, and understood in his heart that when his father had just died, not only the retainers, but even the ordinary people said that he was not as good as his father. Rokkaku Yoshiken first drove his father's former favored retainer out of the house, and then rebuilt the castle. He knew in his heart that rebuilding the city would inevitably attract the criticism of the people, but he did it deliberately. He wanted to create a new atmosphere and bring the family together for him. After the city was rebuilt, he set out to deal with the Jiangbei Asai family.

The governor of the Asai clan in Jiangbei, Ryomasa Asai, was a capable governor who successfully fended off the attacks of hostile forces through his alliance with the Asakura clan of Echizen. If Ryomasa Asai is still alive, I'm afraid Rokkaku Yoshiken won't be able to get it easily.

As the saying goes, the tiger father and the dog son, Asai Hisasa, who was obviously not as flexible as his father in civil and military diplomacy, was beaten by Rokkaku Yoshiken, and was given the title of Omi Fool, and after the war he negotiated peace on humiliating terms. Forcing the Asai clan to surrender, Rokkaku Yoshiken's power prestige reached its peak.

I didn't expect that this side had just submitted the Asai clan, and on the other side, Miyoshi Changqing was still secretly negotiating with him on the front foot. On the hind foot, he drove troops to attack the city and plunder the land. Broke the Fengsaka Pass, which is said to be one of the three levels that are difficult to overcome.

Isn't that a slap in the face?! Once lost Seta River. It is a plain where there is no danger to defend, and the anger in the heart of the hexagonal Yixian can be imagined, but his face is still a clear and breezy look, and he has actually suppressed the anger in his heart.

Rokkaku Yoshiken heard Yamaoka Keitaka's urgent report, and immediately made up his mind to fight an offensive and defensive battle in the Seta River, to drag Miyoshi Nagakei in the Seda River without an inch, drag down and drag down Miyoshi Nagakei, once he decided to start acting. The leading generals gathered around him rushed in all directions one by one and returned to their ranks.

Perhaps in order to prevent the news from leaking, the Rokkaku Army did not blow the horn of the expedition or beat the war drums of the marching army, but the banners raised high one after another announced the arrival of war to all the Rokkaku people in Omi Province.

The six-horned Yixian did not wait for the ministers to arrive from the family's soldiers and horses, so he ordered the 3,500 men and horses in the Guanyin Temple to go out of the city. These soldiers were neatly dressed and wore the same color of foot armor. It is divided into five formations, front, middle and back, left and right, although it can't be as neat and neat as the top elite. But they were also full of vigor and momentum, and they were not worried about the upcoming battle at all.

They are the most elite soldiers and horses left by the Hexagon Dinglai to the Hexagonal Yixian, and they are also the pro-soldier guards. In history, six years later, in the battle of Noragawa, he was attacked by Asai Nagamasa, Rokkaku Yoshiken was defeated, and this group of personal soldiers was lost, which made the Rokkaku clan's family situation plummet, and the important ministers interfered in politics, putting the cart before the horse, so that Oda Nobunaga took advantage of the situation and destroyed the Rokkaku clan in one fell swoop.

Rokkaku Yoshiken led 3,500 guards out of the battle, but instead of entering Seta Castle immediately, he placed his headquarters in Aoji Castle, seven kilometers away from Seta Castle, and sent Koga to spy on the movements of the Miyoshi Army while waiting for the retainers gathered in various places.

On April 1st, only three days passed in the battle of Fengsakaguan, and the two sides of the Seta River fought back and forth for nearly ten battles, and the Rokkaku family suffered some small losses, and after losing more than 100 people, Seta Castle was still in the hands of the Rokkaku family, and the Rokkaku family finally gained a firm foothold, and did not lose again and again, losing the Setagawa defense line.

The small Qingdi City was crowded into 20,000 people, and the city was full of people, and the smell in the city was extremely unpleasant, but the sergeants inside didn't seem to smell it. A small number of these sergeants wore the standard foot equipment of the Hexagonal family, which was much more rigorous, and it was obvious that they were the personal soldiers led by the Rokkaku Yoshixian. There were also many forms of foot equipment, some neat ones were soldiers and horses of the subordinate family, those who lacked some parts, and some wore bits and pieces of clothes, all of which were local forces or vassals of Omi Province who joined along the way. Omi Province is surrounded by plains around Lake Biwa, and the mountains are complex, and there are many Koga hidden in the mountains near Iga Province. The stronger Haoqiang often take refuge in the Hexagonal family and grant a city lord, which is actually a secession party, and the smaller Haoqiang occupy a few mountains and live by employment, and these people together are called Jiahezhong.

However, a peasant who doesn't want to be a landlord is not a good farmer, and a strong man who doesn't want to be a samurai and a city lord is not a good hero! Therefore, seeing that the hexagonal Yixian was going to fight with the three good Changqing, the Jiajia people in the mountains couldn't sit still, and they came out to take refuge, whether it was the Sanhao Changqing or the hexagonal Yixian, in fact, there were a lot of Jiahe people, due to the proximity of the relationship, it is better to be familiar than to be cooked, and the hexagonal Yixian in Qingdi City was obviously more favored by this group of Jiahezhong. Therefore, when the hexagonal Yixian set out from Guanyin Temple City, there were only 3,500 people, and the soldiers and horses brought by the retainers were only four or five thousand, and when they arrived at Qingdi City, there were no less than 20,000 people.

Rokkaku Yoshiken estimated that as long as Miyoshi Chokei was blocked on the east bank of the Seta River for ten days and half a month, 30,000 horses would be able to make it up. If the Asai family in Jiangbei is allowed to send troops again, it will not be impossible for the 30,000 or 40,000 troops to gather together and destroy the Miyoshi army that invaded Omi Province.

Miyoshi Nagakei's dream of a decisive battle has come true, but what makes him a little jealous is that Seta Castle is still in the hands of the Rokkaku family, and it is difficult to cross the narrow Seta River for a while, and his original strategy of capturing the Osaka Pass seems to be very accurate. But I didn't expect Sanyun to retreat to Seta Castle so resolutely, and the Ten Rivers Ichicun who conquered Fengban Pass attacked it with soldiers and horses several times that were several times that of Seta Castle, and Sanyun Seta stubbornly blocked the front of the soldiers, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

At this time, the two sides fighting on both sides of the Seta River had no strategy at all, and they were only fighting hand-to-hand with the most primitive attack methods, and the Miyoshi Army had the supply of the iron artillery base Jiezhen. The Hexagonal Army also does not lack the support of the National Friends Village. For a time, there was a roar on both sides of the Seta River. None of them played a role that was enough to lay the ground.

Not to mention that the two sides fought in the dark, the blood was surging, and the narrow banks of the Seda River were full of corpses, and the losses in this battle were beyond everyone's imagination.

After receiving the order of Rokkaku Yoshiken, Asai Hisamasa, who was under pressure, obviously did not dare to refute the opinion of the envoy sent by Rokkaku Yoshiken, and wanted to agree to send troops to Seta River to participate in the war. Asai Hisamasa agreed, apparently his retainers didn't see it that way, they thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a good opportunity to break away from the Rokkaku family in one fell swoop, and a good time to be able to take Sawa Mountain Castle in one fell swoop. The important ministers led by Haibei Tsunami, Akao Kiyotsuna, and Yumori Kiyosada opposed the dispatch of troops one after another, and staged a full-scale military march in Kotani Castle.

The important ministers led by Haibei Tsunami, Akao Kiyotsuna, and Yumori Kiyosada saw that Asai Hisamasa was cowardly, and they refused to send troops one after another, and even staged a full military act, forcibly placing Asai Hisamasa under house arrest. brought out Asai Hisasa's sister-in-law, Saruyashamaru, who was only ten years old and had not yet been served, as the new head of the family. Immediately 3,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized.

Under the leadership of this freshly baked head of the family, it was actually led by Haibei Tsunami, Akao Kiyozuna, and Yumori Kiyosada to attack Sawa Yamashiro in the name of participating in the war. Then send an envoy to contact Miyoshi Changqing and form an alliance to flank Rokkaku Yoshixian.

Miyoshi Changqing saw a fire in the backyard of Rokkaku Yoshiken, and he attacked Seda Castle fiercely, and for a time Seda Castle was stormy and crumbling. Fortunately, at this time, Asakura Muneta, who had allied with Asai Ryomasa to fight against Rokkaku Dingyori, came forward to mediate the war between the Asai family and the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Yoshiken gritted his teeth and gave up Sawa Yamashiro, and the Asai family stabilized the backyard on the condition of independence.

Rokkaku Yoshiken's backyard caught fire, and Miyoshi Changqing's backyard was also uneasy, and the Hatakeyama clan's important ministers Yasumi Naomasa and Yusa, who were bribed by Rokkaku Yoshiken with heavy money, persuaded the lord Hatakeyama Takamasa to raise troops in Hanoi Province to cut off Miyoshi Nagakei's back road.

With the rebellion of Hatakeyama Takamasa, the Honganji Temple of Ishiyama Honganji Temple also began to move, and Sakamoto's shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, was also uneasy, and sent messengers to send letters to the princes in various places, with the intention of forming a series of encirclements of Changkei.

The chaos in Ki was repeated, and Date Masahiro, who was sitting on the guard of the Seven Kingdoms, heard the casualties of the Battle of the Seda River that was still going on, and his heart overturned the Seven Treasure Bottle, and he tasted all the bittersweet and spicy tastes, according to common sense, he should be very happy about the heavy casualties in the Battle of the Seda River, but when he heard that the casualties were as high as five or six thousand, he couldn't help but be shocked by the tragedy of the casualties, and he didn't expect that the battle in Kinai had risen to such a high level, and the Chinese region was still making small fights.

Zheng Heng put down the information in his hand and said with emotion: "A person can be like a dead leaf, floating in the wind!" The people who died in the battle were a little silent, and then turned their heads and gave the order to attack Qinghe Hengxiu, who was already preparing for the United States.

The first year of Hongzhi was a turbulent year, Kyoto, which had just experienced a fire, and then fell into the flames of war under the competition of Miyoshi Chokei, Rokkaku Yoshiken, and Hatakeyama Takamasa.

In the Tsuruyama Castle of Misaku Province, Matsushima Hengkatsu, as the lord of the city, served as the logistics of the raiders of the Boqi Kingdom, providing food for this army of up to 3,000 people, and also providing them with some information about the Boqi Kingdom. Since Matsushima Hengkatsu successfully suppressed the Ichijo, he changed from the original castle generation to the lord of the castle, and after Katayama Moricho went to Harima Province to conquer Harima Country, he became the agent of the Date family in Mimasaka Province, and his power has become increasingly powerful, but his fortune in the Date family is only 12,000 stones.

In the small conference room of Heshan City, the door is closed, and there are lampposts burning inside, and there are seven people kneeling on the seats, secretly probing things, except for the five people of the Boqi Kingdom Raiders Army, Kiyokawa Henghide, Yoshida Masanari, Kawasaki Yorihiro, Takehai Clan Taka, and Hosokawa Tsumasa, it is the master of Heshan City, Matsushima Hengkatsu, and the seventh person is the intelligence officer Fumigo Ishimatsu.

Placed in the middle of the seven people is a pair of washi paper, with Izumo Province as the core of the detailed map of the surrounding countries, which is a relatively accurate military map that the Date family paid a lot of money from the merchants, and then after the ninja investigation.

Of course, in addition to the hundreds of castles, there are hundreds of them that have not been marked, and the rest of the small black dots and black lines are roads and towns.

Kiyokawa Hengxiu looked at the map and thought for a while, then said: "In this way, the Boqi Kingdom is divided into two parts, east and west, with the Yonago Plain as the core of the three counties of Khani, Mizumi, and Hino in the west, and the three counties of Kawamura, Kume, and Hachihashi with the Tenjin River as the core. ”

Daisan is a volcano with an altitude of 1,729 meters, which is the highest peak in China, and has been known as the four famous mountains of the country since ancient times, along with Mt. Fuji, Tateyama and Mt. Ontake. Daisenji Temple at the northwest foot was built in the Nara period and flourished as a training center.

Shi Song Wenwu, who was sitting at the bottom of the position, looked at Qinghe Hengxiu and said: "Yes, but since the Yingren Rebellion, the temple has been turbulent and has been deserted a lot. It should be noted that Xiboqi is now in the hands of the Xingong Party, while Dongboqi is ruled by an alliance of local forces called Boqi Guozhong. ”

Qinghe Hengxiu heard the name of the Xingong Party, frowned, and said, "Tell me in detail." ”

Shi Song Fumigo obviously came prepared, he bowed respectfully, and said: "The reason why Nizi Qingjiu was defeated and retreated to Bizen Country that day was on the one hand because His Highness was wise and decisive, and on the other hand, it was because of the escape of the Bo Qi people. ”

After a pause, seeing that everyone did not object, all the people present had participated in the battle of the day, and most of them stood out from the battle at that time to become the real ministers of the Date family, of course, they knew some unknown circumstances, and the escape of the Bo Qi people was one of the important reasons.

Ishimatsu Fumigo continued: "After the Boqi people escaped from the battle, Niko Harumu returned to Izumo Province, and naturally had to settle accounts after the autumn, and the Shingu Party was in turmoil, and Niko Harumu naturally ranked the Boqi people behind, but the Boqi people obviously also knew the consequences, and the Xibo Qizhong threw themselves into the Shingu Party, and the Eastern Boqi people formed an offensive and defensive alliance led by Nanjo Bigo Shou Zongkatsu. Later, the Shingu Party and Niko Haruhisa competed for Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, the Shingu Party was obviously not the opponent of Niko Haruhisa, and was defeated repeatedly, and even the important Meibao Customs was conquered by Niko Haruhisa, and the Shingu Party retreated to Yonago City to survive, if it weren't for Niko Haruhisa, Yoshihisa and his son turned against each other, Nizi Yoshihisa defeated Niko Haruhisa, and the latter fled to White Deer City, I am afraid that the Shingu Party would not even be able to keep Yonago City and would go into exile.
