To be honest, Date Huizong was very repulsive to his father's approach. He did not advocate his father's half-hearted approach.
According to his idea, if you want to establish yourself as an enemy, you must kill them all without leaving a trace of future trouble. If you want to offend someone, offend them to the end. Otherwise, why bother provoking others?
He has long heard about the power of the Oda Alliance. The three daimyo of Oda, Tokugawa and Du Fei are so united that it cannot be dealt with by just two daimyo.
Even super powerful forces like the Mori family were restrained by their little tricks and finding a substitute. Therefore, Date Terumune tried his best to dissuade his father, Date Harumune, and persuaded him to take a clear stand and not to offend.
Du Fei.
But Date Harumune is a rigid and stubborn person. He always believes that since he is the ruler of Olu Country, everything in Olu Country belongs to him. No matter who wants to 'take' from his territory
Things, and with talents like the three wise ministers of the Nanfang family, he will never give up.
He both cherished and feared the old ministers of the Nanfang family.
He admired their talents and hoped that they could one day be used by him. So he followed the advice of the eminent monk and let them live.
But what he never expected was that all these old ministers of the Southern Family hated him. Except for a few weaklings, most of them rejected his invitation. At that time, he wanted to kill them immediately.
!Because Date Harumune understood that once these people are used by others, they will immediately turn into a force against themselves!
So he resolutely issued the killing order!
At this time, Date Huizong had made up his mind! For the honor and future of the Date family, he absolutely could not watch his father get into such a big trouble. He suddenly softened his tone: "This matter is purely a misunderstanding!
My father definitely did not give the order to kill! Please come out! I, Date Huizong, guarantee the reputation of the Date family! You will definitely be fine!"
"Don't move! I'll go out first!" Du Fei whispered to everyone, and stood in front of the thousands of troops from the Date family!
"Your Highness!" Before all the retainers could react, they saw Du Fei striding towards Date Huizong!
Du Fei faced the densely packed enemy troops with no fear on his face! At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly penetrated Du Fei's chest deeply!
The people on both sides were shocked! Date Huizong looked at the subordinate general Nihonmatsu who suddenly acted evilly in shock and shouted: "Asshole! Who told you to shoot the arrow? Do you want to rebel?"
"It was the instruction from the old ghost Ting Yoshinao himself! He said that sooner or later Du Fei will be a serious problem for the Date family and must be dealt with as soon as possible!" Erbonmatsu said and took out another arrow to aim at Du Fei and pointed it at his side.
The personal guard ordered: "Fire the arrows! Shoot him to death with arrows!"
"Asshole! How dare you! Shimu Yingyuan, take him down!" As soon as Date Huizong finished speaking, Erbonmatsu's horse suddenly screamed! A fat and short warrior came out of nowhere.
One punch knocked down Nihonmatsu's war horse!
Dozens of Nihonmatsu's personal guards saw that the situation was not good, and quickly surrounded Nibonmatsu who fell from his horse. But most of the people present were from the Date Huizong, and they were surrounded three floors inside and three floors outside in an instant!
"Haha, it's quite lively." At this moment, Du Fei suddenly sneered, and he casually pulled out the sharp arrow stuck in his chest! In the astonished eyes of everyone, he gently threw it on the ground.
.
"Ida Huizong! It seems that there are two voices in your family! You are quite smart, I took note of it. Let's go!" Du Fei waved his hand gently, and everyone stood out among the thousands of Date troops with claws and claws.
Passing through leisurely.
The stunned Date troops all moved out of the way and lined up on both sides to look at this legendary man.
A soldier couldn't help but asked his companions, "Did you see that guy was hit by an arrow and didn't even shed a drop of blood?"
"Yes!" His companions were also trembling: "They say he is the incarnation of a monster. Is it true that he has immortality?"
Seeing that Du Fei was fine, Date Huizong gave Erbonsong and the others an angry look: "Hmph! If you dare to make your own decisions again! Watch your head!"
Du Fei and his party passed through the Date army formation and ran non-stop towards the port. When they got on the boat and set off on their way home, Kobata Kanbei said with lingering fear: "Your Highness! You'd better not take such risks in the future.
It's happened. Even though I was lucky this time, if by chance something happens to you one day, what will we, the retainers, do?" He thought that Du Fei caught the incoming arrow with a creaking nest.
"It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of proportion." Du Fei didn't explain much. He looked at the retreating Olu Country with a complicated look, but he was thinking in his heart: How should I deal with the Date family?
It seems that Date Terumune is an enlightened person, but it is obvious that a large number of veterans are on the opposite side of him, and his father, the current Date Harumune, the head of the Date family, seems a bit indecisive.
We must help him! Date Terumune is the young master. Once he succeeds in ascending the throne, I will have support in Olu Country, and the power of our Oda Alliance will be extended!
At this time, Ishikawa Kenji suddenly woke up with his throat turning: "Who are you when I am there?"
He suddenly understood. The person who was originally quiet and somewhat feminine suddenly suddenly became like a life-seeking evil ghost who escaped from Abi Hell! Even Nan Zheng, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was smitten by him.
Kick it over!
Fortunately, Du Fei and Oura firmly clamped his arms on the left and right, preventing him from moving for the time being.
"Ishikawa, listen to me." Oura walked closer to him and wanted to give him a few words, but he suddenly shook his head and hit his lips and teeth! Oura felt pain because of Shinobu, and he grabbed Ishikawa Kenji's hand and immediately
Released!
Kenji Ishikawa immediately raised his hand to scratch Du Fei! Du Fei jerked his head and dodged. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist, and then cut it! Kenji Ishikawa, who was in a frenzied state, was immediately struck.
Contained.
At this time, Oura Nobu struck hard, knocking Ishikawa Kenji out again.
"This guy is too stimulated! We have to tie him up!" Ohura said, touching his front teeth that were knocked loose.
Du Fei looked at the disheveled Ishikawa Kenji who was foaming at the mouth and sighed, but said helplessly: "Tie him up first!"
Just returned to Urahu Port in Shikoku, I saw Kai Mununun already waiting at the port. When he saw Du Fei, he immediately said anxiously: "Your Highness! Something bad has happened! The Maori family and the Otomo family have called a truce!
They used all their strength to deal with the Nizi family, who tried their best to resist, but they could no longer hold on!"
"We'll talk about it when we get back!" Du Fei couldn't help but his face darkened when he heard the news!
It turned out that the Maori family finally came to their senses. They realized that fighting on two fronts was always getting twice the result with half the effort, so they tried every means to sign an armistice agreement with the Otomo family and concentrated all their efforts on the Nizi family on the eastern front.
Of course, the Nizi family could not cope with the full firepower of the Mouri family. Under the combined attack of Kobayakawa Takakage, Yoshikawa Haruharu and Moori Moto, etc., they began to retreat. Oda Nobunaga had already dispatched Kinoshita, who had just captured the Matsunaga family and killed Matsunagahide.
Fujiyoshiro quickly went north to support.
"His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga has sent a letter, asking you to attack the Kono family, a vassal state of the Mori family, from Shikoku to alleviate the emergency in Kinki!"
Du Fei frowned slightly after hearing this: "Attack the Kono family? The Kono family has always been respectful and respectful to us. Is it too unreasonable for us to attack like this?"
"I also know one thing. I heard His Highness Tokichiro who was present at the time. During the time you left, His Highness Oda Nobunaga renovated Kannonji Castle and renamed it 'Azuchi Castle'. Tokugawa
His Highness finally accepted the invitation and came to the city as a guest.
His Highness Zentoku and Oda Nobunaga were drinking and chatting happily, but suddenly Oda Nobunaga changed his expression and asked Mitsuhide Akechi, who was in charge of the reception: "Why is the fish in this dish smelly?" and slammed the dish.
Arrived on the ground.
Oda Nobunaga glared and ordered Mitsuhide Akechi sternly: "Try it yourself! What does this fish taste like!?"
Akechi Mitsuhide picked up the fish from the ground suspiciously, but the fish had no deterioration or odor at all. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu on the side persuaded him: "I have eaten this fish, Your Majesty Oda, and it doesn't have any odor."
But Oda Nobunaga was still unyielding, and he immediately ordered Murai Sadakatsu to replace Akechi Mitsuhide as the receptionist.
"Is there such a thing?" Du Fei was a little worried: "Oda Nobunaga's old habit has happened again! We can insult our retainers in front of our allies! If he acts so arbitrarily, there may be big trouble.
!”
After returning to the territory and making some preparations, Du Fei did not attack the Kono family as Oda Nobunaga said, but instead led his troops to support the Nizi family who was in danger.
However, as soon as they boarded the ship, they received the news that the city of Upper Moon held by the Nizi family had been captured by the Mori family, and the Nizi family had been executed.
"Damn it!" Du Fei stamped his foot fiercely: "It's still a step too late! It's really true that Yamanaka Shikasuke Nizi Katsuhisa died like this."
The ninja who came to report the news continued: "Fortunately, Kinoshita Tokichiro, who arrived later, blocked the Maori army that drove straight in in time. Because the Maori army had exhausted its strength in the battle to capture Kamigetsu Castle, and was hit head-on by Kinoshita Tokichiro's new force!
The Maori army was defeated! In the end, the Oda family not only did not lose its territory, but also took advantage of the situation to occupy Himeji Castle! His Highness Oda Nobunaga was surprised and promoted him to the head of the country, and he was in charge of Himeji, Kametsuki and Miki Castle! Maori
After this battle, Yuan sighed to himself: 'I am too old to bear,' and passed the position of family governor to his eldest son, Terumoto Mori!"
I guess the monkey guy was deliberately waiting for the Nizi family to exhaust the Maori family before appearing behind the exhausted Maori army. Although Du Fei was not there personally, based on his understanding of Tokichiro, he could describe the situation at that time.
I can't guess the situation at all.
"What's the situation at this time?" Du Fei immediately ordered the army to stop.
The ninja continued: "Now Tokichiro has stabilized his position in Himeji Castle and reached an agreement with the neighboring Uki family not to attack each other. Now he is planning to attack the Mori family's Bichu Takamatsu Castle!"
"It's really awesome!" Du Fei secretly admired Kinoshita Tokichiro. At this time, he felt that Oda Nobunaga's instructions to attack the Kono family were meaningless, so he ordered his troops to turn around and attack Bitchu Takamatsu Castle!
At this time, Kinoshita Tokichiro was feeling heartbroken.
Bitchu Takamatsu Castle was much stronger than he thought. He felt that he really tried his best, but in the end he could not shake the city at all.
Just when he was desperate, Du Fei arrived with his troops. Overjoyed, Tokichiro greeted his former master excitedly, but Du Fei was very cold to him: "Nizi's family has been trapped for a long time, why did you not save him?
?Is fame and wealth so important in your eyes? Do you want to watch others bleed out and die?"
"Master!" Kinoshita Tokichiro suddenly became serious, and he suddenly knelt on the ground: "Although I, the monkey, may be more powerful sometimes, I will never do such a thing! The reason why I wasted the opportunity to rescue the Nizi family,
It was because Bessho Choharu of Miki Castle was bewitched by Ichimune, and most of his soldiers were Buddhists. He was very dissatisfied with His Highness Oda Nobunaga for burning and killing Ishiyama Honganji Temple, so a rebellion broke out! Miki Castle was rebelled.
The army occupied it!
I had no choice but to concentrate my forces to deal with the rebels first, and it took three full days of attack before I captured it. You know, Miki Castle is on the way to Bitchu Takamatsu Castle, so I am really determined!"
Du Fei saw that his words were very sincere, so he didn't care much about it, and instead asked about the situation of the siege.
"Hey! Don't mention it!" Kinoshita Tokichiro said with a bitter face: "I think I am the best at attacking cities, but there is nothing I can do when encountering such Gu Cheng and stubborn defenders! Bitchu Takamatsu Castle is like steel
The build is average! I really have no choice!”
Du Fei raised his telescope to carefully examine the city's defense situation. He saw that the outer high walls were dusty and indeed had a metallic texture. It looked like they were made of fine stones.
He also had some doubts in his heart: the monkeys had already tried all the common methods that seemed to work, and it would be in vain for him to waste the lives of his soldiers trying them.
Bitchu Takamatsu Castle is stuck between two mountains, with only two gates at the front and back. In other words, if you want to attack the hinterland of the Mori family, you can only rush through the castle!
This is truly an amazing design! The peaks on both sides tower into the clouds, and the peaks are sloping and steep, making it impossible to climb. There is only one road in the middle that can go through. That is the city built tightly against the mountain.
Cutting off food is not feasible. There is no way to completely surround it. Food and water are being continuously transported from behind. How to cut it off?
A fire attack is also a very childish idea. There is not a single bit of wood in the walls of Takamatsu Castle in Bitchu, and they are all made of stone. Not to mention burning, even if the whole thing is boiled in a pot, it will probably have no effect.
Du Feiliang thought for a long time but could not come up with a solution, so he had to temporarily set up camp and wait until he could see the enemy's weaknesses before attacking.
That night, Kinoshita Tokichiro warmly entertained Du Fei and his generals who came from afar to help. Although the banquet was set up in the military camp, there were many kinds of food, delicacies and delicacies, and the wine was also of the highest quality.
Famous wine.
Everyone was very happy to eat. Du Fei was used to eating delicacies, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He took a casual bite of a dish and found that the fish in the dish was extremely tender and tasted much more delicious than ordinary fish.
"What kind of fish is this?" Du Fei couldn't help but ask as he got excited about eating.
I saw a subordinate of Tokichiro with thick eyebrows and big eyes saying with a smile on his face: "Your Highness Du Fei, this is the black fish caught by the villain in the nearby Nufan River. It is also a famous product of this place."
"Who is this? I don't think I've seen him before." Du Fei looked at this tall and talented young man with some confusion and asked.
"Oh, Master, I forgot to introduce to you this is the retainer I just acquired, several Kuroda Kanbei. He was originally a retainer of the Akamatsu family. Later, after the master's family was destroyed, I admired his talent, so I made him
Incur subordinates"
"Oh congratulations, it looks like you have one more general!" Du Fei felt a little sour in his heart. He had traveled thousands of miles to recruit talented people, and finally managed to recruit a few strong generals. And Kinoshita Tokichiro
But it seemed like it was effortless, and all the talented people took the initiative to pitch in. It was really
Just when Du Fei was muttering in his heart, his general Oura Weixin suddenly said: "Nufan River? What a special name!"
"Yes! I didn't quite understand it at first. Then when I went there to take a look, I realized why it was called so well-deserved! The current of the river was very fast, and a soldier almost fell into it while fishing for fish and was swept away by the river.
, Fortunately, he survived by clinging to the reeds on the shore," Kuroda Kanbei said with lingering fear.
Du Fei and Kinoshita Tokichiro didn't pay much attention at the time, but after thinking about it for a while, they almost asked in unison: "How far is the Nufan River you mentioned from Bitchu Matsuyama Castle?"
"It's very close, about one mile away!" Kuroda Kanbei noticed the implication as soon as they spoke: "What do you mean?"
Kinoshita Tokichiro and Du Fei looked at each other and smiled, and a bold plan came up in their minds almost at the same time!
