Chapter 62
After a clearance process, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from the friendly army, Yoshihide Ikeda, "This is discrimination, this is division. I strongly protested." Under Yoshihide Ikeda, I checked the warehouse and gave about fifty half of the remaining rib gap to Yoshihide Ikeda. It is very good to use it to peel radishes. If it is used to protest with separatism, it is definitely a weapon.
The number of seized in the warehouse over the years was almost all sent to Sen Kecheng. The rest can be equipped with the peasant soldiers in my leadership. This time, the attack on the Tampo Kingdom depends on them for most of the defense tasks.
After Ikeda Hokkaido protested here for no success, he turned to the wife's route. As Oda Nobunaga's breasts brother, Ashi still wanted to call this guy "Brother."
Yoshihiko Ikeda, 'Sister, Kudo is too fickle. The family has already had a lot of wives and concubines, and they are still constantly mingling with each other. You, the mistress, have to watch it.'
Ashi ordered his maid to exchange a cup of tea for Hiroshi Ikeda, "Mr. Husband must have a reason for doing this. It is not easy for us women to interfere in foreign affairs. Besides, the combat effectiveness of Morikocheng's troops is strong, which is also very beneficial for winning the Tamba Kingdom."
‘Then change some equipment for me too.’ Heikki Ikeda said as he almost sprinkled the tea in his hand. ‘You haven’t seen any equipment under my command. There are only a total of more than ten iron cannons that Mr. Nobunaga cannons rewarded me.’
‘The iron cannon is powerful and it is indeed the best weapon to kill enemies on the battlefield. It’s just that the price is too expensive. Although our Kudo family has some, we can’t give it to others at will. It’s okay if it’s a marriage relationship. If it starts, we can’t afford it. We can’t be more favorable than the other. That’s it.” As Ashi said, he wrote a note, ‘My right can only allocate thirty iron cannons, all of which are given to my brother’s New Year gifts.’
Yoshihiro Ikeda carefully took the note handed over by his maid and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister Ashi, no wonder people say that there is oil and water in the air in the Kudo family."
After Ikeda Yoshihiko left, Tamako pouted, 'Sister Ashi is kind, why bother to give it to him? The two thousand guan he borrowed have not yet been paid back.'
Ashi comforted Tamako and said, "What we lend to them is not money, but friendship. In recent years, when Mr. Husband is not with His Highness, there are few people who slander? But Mr. Holy, Mr. Hoshitaka Kawajiri, and Lord Ikeda and others have to protect him. Not to mention thirty iron cannons, it is not an exaggeration to send a hundred.'
Yuzi asked, 'Then you and your husband are making things difficult for others.'
Ashi said slowly, 'This is also for the benefit of Lord Ikeda. Ikeda Hengxing was born as His Highness Nobunaga's breasts brother, and his bride hat. After Yuanfu, he inherited the Ikeda family's family business and became an important official in the Oda family. He has been fighting for wars over the years and has never suffered much. Ikeda Hengxing is not very good at managing, so he must let him know that these iron cannons are hard-won.'
On the day of officially launching the Danbo Kingdom, Ashi took a few wives and concubines to put on armor for me, and repeatedly told me the only woman who could only serve me some details of my life.
The army advanced all the way towards Tamba, which attracted the attention of the Daimai Hatano Hideji, the Daimyo Tamba.
In Hachikaka Castle, Naoki Akai, known as the Tanba Red Ghost, was kneeling on the tatami, "Your Highness, the Kudo family has now taken several forts on the border and is advancing towards Kameyama Town."
Hatano Hideji held the hilt of the waist tightly, which would give him more courage, ‘Is the person who went to negotiate back? Why did the Kudo family attack us?’
Naota Akai said embarrassedly, "The person who went to negotiate has returned. The Kudo family said that he had lost two Kudo family's feet near the border. This time he came to find someone."
Hatano Hideji was furious, 'This is clearly an excuse, no, even an excuse is not counted. Hideaki, Naoshima, the Kudo family is not well-known this time, and the seven thousand army has exceeded all the forces of our Tanba Kingdom. What do you think should you do?'
Hidesaka Hatano bit her teeth a few times, but she couldn't say anything about going out to fight the Kudo family to the death.
Naomasa Akai said, 'Your Highness, as far as I know, the proportion of Kudo family's iron cannons that came to attack this time has accounted for more than half. Going out of the city is just a temporary courage, I am afraid it won't take long to wipe out the entire army like Imakawa Yoshimoto. The defense of the cage city is now in a dilemma. First, we sold a large amount of military rations some time ago, and now the food and grass in the city is only enough for 6,000 people to eat for four months. Now it is also the trick of the Kudo family. Second, it is impossible to succeed without reinforcements. Now the Mihao family is already unable to take care of themselves... For the sake of the current plan, it is better to temporarily reconcile with the Oda family and hand over the hostages.'
Hatano Hideaki shouted in a crying voice, "Brother, I don't want to be a hostage to that great devil. That Oda Nobunaga killed people without blinking." Oda Nobunaga had a big fire in Mount Hiei, and the Honanji family strongly advocated it, and spread rumors, and it has become the incarnation of the great devil in the Demon Sect. It still scared many people's courage. This Hideaki is one of them.
Hideji Hatano glared at this incompetent brother fiercely and thought, "Don't you want me to be a hostage if you don't go to be a hostage?" He only has two young daughters. The hostages must be the first heir of our family these days. He has sent two irrelevant hostages, who cares about you. "Let's do this, straightforward, go and send someone to talk to the Kudo family to see if they can reconcile. We, Hatano, are willing to hand over the hostages."
‘Yes.’ Naota Akai retreated, leaving only the shattered Hideaki Hatano.
After the Hatano family's envoy arrived at the Kudo family's temporary camp, he received good treatment, and he had enough food and food. He also found a village woman to accompany him from the nearby village. However, when he saw Kudo Seiichi, all his good feelings were over. 'What, hand over the hostages, subordinate to the Oda family, obey the orders of the Oda family. If I send someone to tell you about it for such a thing, wouldn't it be over? Since we have come, we have no plans to walk past. Why don't he give me anything? I'd better get it directly. Tell Hatano Hideji that there is only one way to reconcile, so that the Hatano family surrenders unconditionally. This will save a life. I can only promise so that I can promise. If the war begins and there are casualties, even if I want to let him go, I'm afraid that His Highness Oda will not agree. Go back and let Hatano Hideji think about it clearly, which is more important, right or life.'
The next day, Hiji Hatano was furious when he received a reply, "He is too arrogant to the Kudo family. There are still 6,000 good men in Tamba. I want to fight the Kudo family to the death."
Naota Akai's report poured cold water on Hatano Hideji, 'Your Highness, the Tamba Kingdom is afraid there will be no 6,000 troops. News came in the morning that Kameyama Castle has been taken down by the Kudo family. The first to climb the city was Moriko-seen, the general under Oda Nobunaga. Most of the defenders fled.'
Hideji Hatano was shocked, 'How could this happen? A thousand people in Kameyama Castle didn't even keep it for a long time? Was the guard general Araki's family been returned?'
‘That’s not, it’s just that the Kudo family used a lot of gunpowder to blow up the walls of Kameyama Castle. Lord Araki’s clan either fled or was captured. He hadn’t heard of Lord Araki’s clan being sleepy or beheaded.’
Hearing this, Hideji Hatano just kept saying, ‘What should we do? What should we do?’
Naoma Akai sighed. When the combat power is too different, almost any strategy is useless. Besides, Kudo has always been cunning in rumors, and it would be good if he didn't hit his plan. This person has nothing special to do except a good woman. In this era, everyone is either a good man style or a good woman. This is not a bad thing. 'Your Highness, today I got another news. While the Oda family was going to war with us, they started fighting with the Asai family and the Miyo family at the same time. Only in the current plan, it is better to wait for news from the Oda family's other two routes. As long as the Miyo family and the Asai family can defeat the Oda family, then our Hatano family will still have hope.'
