On August 2, the eighth year of the Tensho period (1580), the Hashiba army launched a fierce attack on the Urakami family in Bizen country. Nizi Katsuhisa was ordered to set off from Kamigetsu Castle and take the mountain road to the Miasaku country to contain the Uki family. And Hideyoshi himself
Then he led the main force to attack Mitsuishi Castle via the official road. Hashiba Hideyoshi's arrangement was clearly to send the Nizi family to a dangerous place where they would not be able to gain military exploits and profit. However, Nizi Shengji had no choice but to obey his orders.
On August 3, the eighth year of Tensho (1580), Akechi Mitsuhide set out from Tanba and Tango to attack the castle in the corner of Tajima Kingdom. At the same time, Hosokawa Fujitakaya led his army north from the southern part of Tajima Kingdom to attack Takeda Castle. Yamana Yu
After receiving the alarm, Yutaka immediately led his army from Tottori Castle to support.
At the same time, in the Seto Inland Sea, the Awaji Navy and the Mishima Navy were cruising around with a large number of Oda troops. Aga Port, Kamei Port, Mihara Port, and Shenzhen Port in the coastal area of ​​​​the Mori family were successively captured
After being looted, even Itsukushima, where Itsukushima Shrine is located, was occupied by the fleet, and Miyao Castle was captured by Ikeda Tsuneaki's troops who landed. Shubo, Aki, Bingo, and Bichung were all under threat and could be attacked at any time.
The risk of invading the hinterland has seriously delayed the progress of the autumn harvest. The autumn harvest has been delayed, and the Maori family's reinforcements have been delayed in gathering. Kobayakawa Takakage patrolled around, trying to stabilize the countrymen and wealthy families, but he actually had no idea -
If these troops land, the Maori family will be in trouble.
On the battlefield of Sanyo Road, the Urakami family had little hope of support. Urakami Munekage would not even dare to ask for help from the Ukita family in the absence of the Maori army - God knows who the Ukita army would fight after they arrived. Therefore, even if the Ukita army
8,000 people had already arrived at Ryangomiya Mountain, 25 miles southwest of Tenjinyama Castle to set up formations, and Urakami Munekage did not allow the Ukita Army to enter. Therefore, the Ushiba Army captured Mitsuishi Castle on August 6 and further advanced towards Urakami Munekage's residence.
Tenjinzan Castle approaches. Urakami Munekagero Castle defends, relying on the dangerous castle to delay the Hashiba army's offensive.
However, on August 8, the reinforcements of the Red Leaf Army arrived at the foot of Tenjin Mountain Castle. Looking at the boundless sea of ​​red leaves and the dozens of large tubes pushed to the bottom of the city, Urakami Munekei suddenly felt his heart sink. In Jingzhe Bei's words,
Under the cover of artillery bombardment, the Hashiba Army captured several outlying towns of Tenjinyama Castle that had been unable to capture it within half a day. Urakami Munekage knew that he was unable to resist, so he sent an envoy to the Oda Army in the early morning of August 9
, requesting surrender.
In the early morning of August 9, Yu Qiuping, who had been notified, took the surrender letter submitted by the envoy and went to the central camp of Yu Shiba Army to look for Yu Shiba Hideyoshi. However, several guards at the door were a little embarrassed after returning from the notification.
"Why, your Highness is so proud that you don't want to see me now?" Yu Qiuping half-jokingly asked the three guards. However, contrary to Yu Qiuping's expectation, the three guards did not seem to be frightened by Yu Qiuping's words.
When they arrived, everyone still asked Yu Qiuping to wait a little longer with their normal expressions. This courage was quite appreciated by Yu Qiuping.
"What are your names?" Yu Qiuping suddenly had an idea in his mind and asked curiously.
"My name is Kato Kiyomasa."
"This is Masanori Fukushima."
"My name is Kato Yoshiaki."
The three young guards reported their names to Yu Qiuping without being humble or overbearing. The latter was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but clicked his tongue. Good guy, Jiyue Qibenqian met three of them here at once.
These three young guards probably wouldn't have imagined that they would leave a profound mark on Japan's history in their past lives and in the future.
"Work hard, and you will be successful in the future." Yu Qiuping encouraged with a smile, and the three of them bowed neatly to Yu Qiuping and thanked him.
At this time, the door of the Zhongjun Dazhai was finally opened, and the familiar monkey face came forward.
"Hey, Momiji, what brought you here?" Hashiba Hideyoshi's face turned red. It seemed that he was drunk, and his words had no meaning. At this point, he was already so drunk, so he definitely wasn't.
I woke up early in the morning and drank all night long.
"We are still fighting, why can't the commander-in-chief of the friendly forces come?" Yu Qiuping sniffed his nose and smelled the strong smell of alcohol in Hideyoshi Hashiba's mouth, and said in a reproachful tone, "And these two armies are facing each other, you are so serious
Isn't it bad for a commander to drink all night? How can he command the army when he is unconscious? If something happens to him, I will leave you alone."
"Oh, Momiji!" Hashiba Hideyoshi was a little unhappy at being told this, and protested in a raised voice, "Haven't you counted the amount of alcohol you drink? What does this small amount of wine count?"
"Why do I think you were just about to be helped back?" Yu Qiuping looked at Hashiba Hideyoshi's somewhat shaky steps with very suspicious eyes.
"Well, anyway, Urakami Munekage can't make any trouble? We have an army of 50,000 outside, and his thousands of people are not enough to fill his teeth." Hashiba Hideyoshi waved his hand nonchalantly, and pulled Yu Qiuping away.
Walking into the tent, "Come, have a few drinks!"
"I'm not here to drink. Urakami Munekage just sent an envoy to ask for surrender and entered my camp. I'm here to inform you." Yu Qiuping said while raising the letter in his hand and followed.
Hashiba Hideyoshi walked into the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, Yu Qiuping saw a somewhat chaotic scene. He saw a disheveled woman half leaning on the seat, half naked with a white body, and her eyes were as charming as silk.
He looked over here.
Yu Qiuping recognized that it was the Kawako that Hashiba Hideyoshi must take home from the Whale House in Azuchi Castle. It was because of this promiscuous woman that Ningning and Hashiba Hideyoshi had a complete falling out. It is said that Ningning has been moved to
He went to live in the castle town outside Himeji Castle. Unexpectedly, Hashiba Hideyoshi had no intention of giving in, and actually took the woman directly to the barracks and took her on the expedition.
Yu Qiuping instinctively has some disgust towards women - she is also a prostitute, Qingshui Zhizi will not make him feel unhappy, he just sympathizes with her experience - of course, it turns out that Qingshui Zhizi hides a terrible secret.
Perhaps most promiscuous women are like Kawako, but those who are unreasonable like Shimizu Oriko are in danger.
"Kawako, come." Hashiba Hideyoshi waved to Kawako, and Kawako immediately left - oh no, he crawled over on the carpeted floor. Yu Qiuping took a closer look and realized that Kawako was slender and fair.
There is actually a collar around his neck. You can’t tell, but Hideyoshi Hashiba is quite modern in this regard.
Yu Qiuping felt very uncomfortable with such a scene. He turned away awkwardly and sat down on a mat next to him. At this time, Kawako had climbed to the table and was kneeling to pour a glass of wine for Hideyoshi Hashiba.
, held it to the latter's waist. Hideyoshi Hashiba laughed, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Didn't you dislike it before?" Yu Qiuping asked in confusion. With Kawako around, Yu Qiuping's words were not directly pointed out - even if the object of discussion was a promiscuous woman, Yu Qiuping's habits for many years still made him subconsciously
He was extremely concerned about other people's feelings. However, Hideyoshi Hashiba clearly understood what Yu Qiupei was implying: Didn't you used to dislike promiscuous women and only like women of noble birth?
"To tell you the truth, I, Kawako, come from the Wushe family. It was only because of the decline of my family that I was forced to live in the world." Hashiba Hideyoshi took Kawako's ribs with both hands, hugged her up, and touched her.
He stroked her lustrous white back and smiled at Yu Qiuping, "Seeing those young ladies in the palace serve me so hard, not to mention how wonderful it is!"
"No wonder." Yu Qiuping muttered softly. No wonder Hashiba Hideyoshi is so obsessed with it. It turned out that he met a public lady who was forced to sell himself.
"What did you just say? Urakami Munekage sent someone to ask for surrender?" Hashiba Hideyoshi said to Yu Qiuping while teasing Kawako in his arms.
"Yes." Yu Qiuping put the letter on the desk, "You come to take a look?"
"Go, get it for me." Hideyoshi Hashiba himself did not come over, but sat down comfortably on the chair, and at the same time nuzzled his lips towards Kawako. Hearing this, Kawako immediately knelt down again and faced Yu Qiuping.
Bian climbed over.
Yu Qiuping felt a wave of nausea, turned around, and pushed the letter a little further, so that the woman could lie down a few steps less. No wonder Ning Ning was so angry that her husband had found a concubine and separated - Yu
Qiupei was shocked when he saw it. If Hideyoshi Hashiba was playing like this in Himeji Castle, wouldn't he be so angry that Ning Ning would faint?
Back then, everyone was an honest and responsible young man. Who would have thought that Tokichiro would have such an idea?
·
At this moment, another announcement suddenly came from the door.
"Your Highness, Your Highness Momiji, Nagafune Satahika, the envoy of the Ukita Nao family, would like to see you." Kato Kiyomasa did not open the tent door, but came to the door and shouted loudly.
"Oh? The Ukita Nao family also sent an envoy?" Yu Qiuping frowned when he heard this, looked at Hashiba Hideyoshi's current state, and said, "Let him wait..."
"No! No need!" Yu Qiuping had just finished speaking when Hideyoshi Hashiba suddenly interrupted in a drunken tone, "Let him come in now!"
"Can you really meet the messenger like this?" Yu Qiuping glanced at the disheveled Kawako and the blushing Hashiba Hideyoshi.
"Well, he's not the envoy to meet the lord, so who would give him the face to let me change his clothes?" Hideyoshi shouted nonchalantly, and Kawako on the side also smiled and responded, "Your Highness is talking about it.
.”
"Whatever you want." Yu Qiuping took a deep breath and moved his seat back.
After a while, Nagafune Sadaki, the envoy of the Ukita Nao family, walked in. As one of the three elders of the Ukita family, he has one of the most powerful voices in the Ukita family. Sending him here shows that the Ukita Nao family must be very important.
things to talk about.
After Nagafune Sadaki walked into the tent, he immediately saw Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was openly drinking with Kawako, and Ame Qiupei, who was sitting aside and feeling embarrassed. He calmly saluted to Ame Qiupei and Hashiba Hideyoshi without losing his etiquette.
"Tell me, why did your lord send you here?" Hideyoshi Hashiba slapped Kawako's plump buttocks hard, causing Kawako to whimper softly, and asked loudly at the same time.
