On the afternoon of August 9, the eighth year of Tianzheng (1580), in the south of Tenjin Mountain City, in the main formation of the Oda Army.
Ame Qiupei led people to an open space in the middle of the temple, found some stone pillars and sat down, and asked Asahina Taihei to take out the rice balls he had brought before. Mori Ranmaru also borrowed cooking utensils and set up a shelf to start
Cook miso soup. The rich aroma of miso soup made everyone's stomach growl after being hungry for a long time, and the rice balls in their hands became more and more delicious.
"You are quite good at enjoying it." Mori Nagako glanced at Mori Ranmaru who was very busy, "Do you still have this skill?"
"Our Highness usually doesn't do anything special and doesn't bring his own special cook, so these things are all done by me." Mori Ranmaru smiled at Mori Naga. The smile can be described as sweet. He has been tender since he was a child.
, as delicate as a girl, but never ambiguous when it comes to work. After Long Zi is gone, Yu Qiuping is basically responsible for taking care of his daily life. And he is proficient in mathematics and science, and Yu Qiuping is in charge of the school.
The revised version of the mathematics textbook was compiled with the help of Mori Ranmaru. On weekdays, when going on an expedition, Yu Qiupei would also hand over many sundries to Mori Ranmaru - more reliable than Asahina Yasuhei and Mori Naga.
too much.
Mori Ranmaru is 15 years old this year, but his appearance is still relatively feminine. Yuqiu Pingyuan thought that he would become more masculine when he grows up, but to describe this handsome man, "pretty" is probably more appropriate than "handsome".
It's more appropriate. No wonder there are rumors that Oda Nobunaga in his previous life thought that Mori Ranmaru was too beautiful and was reluctant to shave him into a Tsukiyo head. Therefore, he refused to let him take the Yuanfu. He was still wearing it until he died in battle at the age of 17.
Teenage hairstyle.
"Fortunately, my sexual orientation is normal, and my Yuqiu family has always had the habit of not leaving a moon head." Yu Qiuping smiled and touched Mori Ranmaru's hair with his hand, muttering to himself, "Otherwise, people in the next generation will probably also
I want to write Mori Ranmaru as my male favorite, and also say that I am reluctant to let him shave his hair because I favor him."
"Your Highness, the miso soup is ready." Mori Ranmaru opened the lid and took a look, then took a spoon and poured a bowl for Yu Qiuping. "Your Highness, please."
Yu Qiuping took the bowl and sniffed his nose vigorously, feeling the aroma of miso.
"Miso tastes better when soaked in soup. How can you add it to meals?" Yu Qiuping teased Oda Nobunaga to everyone with a smile. Then he raised the bowl and blew on it, scooping up kelp and radish with a spoon.
A generous spoonful of tofu is ready to be put into your mouth and tasted.
However, just when he was salivating with greed and was waiting for the spoonful of miso soup to be put into his mouth to let the salt fully stimulate his taste buds to satisfy his craving, Hashiba Hideyoshi ran over at an inappropriate time and shouted at the same time:
"Hongye, something big has happened. Come and take a look! Ukita's army did not stop after entering Tenjinyama Castle. They abandoned the city and fled without saying a word, chasing Urakami's army to the north!"
"I don't want to look at it." Yu Qiuping muttered casually, then slowly put the spoonful of soup into his mouth, tasting it with satisfaction, "Wait until I finish drinking the soup."
"The military situation is urgent. I don't have time to give you soup!" Hideyoshi Hashiba put his hands on Yu Qiuping's shoulders, trying to pull him up, but Yu Qiuping remained motionless.
"Someone is still drunk and dreaming when the enemy is in front of him. He still has the nerve to say to me, what's wrong with my bowl of miso soup?" Yu Qiuping complained angrily, casually scooping up a few more spoons of soup and put it into his mouth.
Then he took a big bite of the rice ball, took the hand towel, wiped his mouth and stood up.
"What the hell, why don't I give you compensation? I keep talking about it." Hashiba Hideyoshi scratched his hair and said with a naive smile, "The Uki family is chasing Urakami Army. What do you think?"
"What do I think? Shouldn't this be part of your calculation?" Yu Qiuping did not continue, but looked at Hideyoshi in silence. Hideyoshi smiled and couldn't stop laughing, and slowly stopped smiling.
, pulled Yu Qiuping aside and said, "I really can't hide anything from you."
"Didn't you send the Nizi family and your brother to the north of Tianshen Mountain City before? What else is there to hide? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance." Yu Qiuping glanced at the smoke and dust rising in the north of Tianshen Mountain City in the distance.
The army is fleeing towards the north.
·
Soon after, 20 miles north of Tenjinzan Castle, the junction of Bizen Country and Miasaku Country.
A few days ago, the Nizi family's troops had already marched northwest from Kamigetsu City as a partial division to attack Mimasaku Country in order to tie down the Uki family's military strength. However, the Uki family did not send anyone to fight. Hanabusa, the important minister who stayed behind, was lucky enough to attack the Uki family early.
The troops recovered to Tsuyama Castle, the capital of the United States.
Later, Hideyoshi Hashiba also sent reinforcements led by Hideyoshi Hashiba to assist Nizi's family, asking them to block the official road between Bizen Country and Mimasaku Country, block the retreat of Tenjin Mountain Castle to the north in the far north, and prevent all troops from entering Mimasaku. Katsuhisa Nizi
I feel that such an order is meaningless at all, because Urakami Munekage will definitely not run north - the north is the territory of the Uki family. Urakami Munekage probably will not step into the Uki family's territory again even if he commits suicide. Today.
In the morning, news came that Urakami Munekage had asked for the surrender of the Oda family, so there would be no war here. However, Hashiba Hidenaga began to set up defenses in a serious manner, dividing the respective defense zones of the Nizi Army and the Hashiba Army.
Nizi Shengjiu had no choice but to do as he was told.
However, Niko Katsuhisa was now dumbfounded - not only Urakami Munekage led his people to run over here, but even the Ukita Nao family also rushed over with the entire army behind them.
"Your Highness, Your Highness Urakami has sent an envoy!" Nizi's family's messenger rushed over with a gray-headed envoy when Nizi Shengjiu was stunned. Without saying a word, the envoy plopped down and knelt down in front of Nizi Shengjiu.
Weeping and pleading: "Greetings to His Highness Nizi! Please save the Urakami family, Your Highness! The Urakami family has already asked the Oda family to surrender, but when the Ukita Nao family attacked the city, His Highness Hashiba did not send any reinforcements, so we had to abandon it.
We escaped from the city! Now that Ukita's army is chasing us, we have nowhere to go. We hope that His Highness Nizi will take us in because we have asked for surrender from the Oda family!"
"This...I can't make up my mind, please wait a moment, His Highness Urakami." Katsuhisa Nizi was a little embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly arranged for a messenger to ask Hideucha Hashiba for instructions, but the messenger was already extremely anxious and begged repeatedly, "Nizi
Your Highness, your Majesty, we can't wait any longer, the Uki family will catch up soon!"
"This..." Nizi Shengjiu was still very hesitant, waiting eagerly for the messenger to come back. However, the messenger did not come back, and it took a long time before he finally came back.
"What did Yu Chai-sama say?" Nizi Shengjiu asked hurriedly before the messenger could stand still.
"Master Yushiba said that he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask His Highness Yushiba for instructions to calm down for a while." The messenger whispered with a look of embarrassment on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger from the Urakami family was already anxious.
Gotta jump up.
"How can we wait to inform His Highness Hashiba! The Ukita Nao family has already caught up with us! There are only more than a thousand of us left, and we will be destroyed in an instant! Please, Your Highness Nizi, please save the Urakami family!
"
"I...the order I received before was not to allow anyone to pass by." Nizi Katsuhisa glanced at Hideucha Hideucha's flag and the Hashiba army who remained motionless, and sighed helplessly.
"Your Highness Nizi! The Urakami family has surrendered! They are friendly forces!" Seeing that support could not come, the Urakami family's envoy knelt down in tears and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please! Save us! The Urakami family has already
They are homeless! There is no territory left at all, and only these more than a thousand relics are left! If anything happens to them again, the Urakami family will be finished! They will be exterminated!"
The accusations made by the messengers of the Urakami family reminded Nizi Katsuhisa of the group of Nizi's followers who had also lost their homeland and left their hometown. In an instant, countless bitter and painful memories came to mind. The current Urakami family is in dire straits, which is so similar to the Nizi family back then.
They were also invaded by powerful enemies, driven out of the city, and displaced. They were also forced to kneel down countless times and beg others to take them in, leaving all their past self-esteem and pride behind. With the compassion in Nizi Shengjiu's heart, he could no longer find it.
stop.
"Let them pass and block Ukita's army." Katsuhisa Nizi ordered in a deep voice, "Tell Lord Hashiba that Nizi's family wants to rescue the friendly forces and attack Ukita's army together, and ask for his support."
"Thank you so much for Your Highness Nizi's integrity, generous helping hand, and great kindness! The Urakami family will remember it forever and will never forget it!" The envoy of the Urakami family did not wait for Nizi's retainers to refute, and immediately gave Nizi Katsuhisa a high hat to block it.
He opened the mouths of others and kowtowed heavily to Nizi Shengjiu several times. Then he did not give Nizi's retainers a chance to discuss it face to face. Regardless of the dust all over his body, he stood up in a hurry and prepared to leave, turning Nizi Shengjiu's promise into a
After confirming the established agreement between the two families, "I will go back and return my orders right now! Let my lord move closer to the Nizi Army!"
The messenger hurriedly left the Nizi family's camp, took several turns on the mountain road to hide his traces, and did not return to the Urakami family's troops. Instead, he ran straight to the Ukiji family's camp. There were already more than a dozen people on horseback.
The warriors were waiting on the road to meet the messenger. When they saw the envoy coming back, they hurriedly greeted him and asked in unison:
"Lord, how are you doing?"
"Nizi Shengjiu's impulsive idiot completely believed me, and my words were not wasted. As expected, as long as he recalls the hardships of Nizi's group of ministers, he will become soft-hearted. The human heart is really an undefended weak spot."
Ukita Naoie, who was the messenger, casually pulled out the Urakami family's flag stuck on his back and threw it into the grass beside him. "Tell Urakami Munekage to follow the original plan."
"Yes." A mounted samurai took the order and rode towards the Urakami family's camp. The Ukita Nao family glanced at the Nizi family's four-eye flag in the distance, and then looked at the Hashiba family's flag further away, and suddenly
Sneered.
"Why are you laughing, my lord?" a Hatamoto samurai asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. I'm laughing at the Nizi family who is about to be in disaster without knowing it. I'm also laughing at the Hashiba family for being so calculating." The Nao family of Ukita bowed their hands towards the flag of the Hashiba army from afar and said, "The so-called strategy means that everyone gets what they want.
