The sun was setting in the west. Hu Ji woke up from her nap and blinked a few times before finding a reason to let him go back first. The considerate Hu Yutai knew that he had to accompany two other pregnant women, so he pretended not to do it every time.
She drove him away as if she needed this human-shaped pillow, but she didn't know that her acting skills were really poor, and she reluctantly watched him leave every time.
He walked with Sandalwood in the garden, and then took her to visit his two precious adopted daughters, Guangji and Mingji. Sandalwood was only three months pregnant and her belly was not out of shape yet. Looking at the two babies in the cradle who were about to turn one year old,
Sandalwood's face was full of maternal love and envy. She played with the two children for a while, and then they slowly left the nursery.
Perhaps out of emotion, Sandalwood leaned on his shoulder and said softly: "Your Highness, what would you do if Sandalwood gave birth to a bunch of twins?"
Kira Yoshishi blocked Tanxiang's back and said with a smile: "Of course I will raise him well. I don't care about those myths and legends. Folks also say that I killed Shura in Yuzawa Imperial Palace. Do you believe it?"
"I believe it in Sandalwood! His Highness is the most powerful man in the world, and he can definitely kill Shura! Hmm!" Sandalwood looked at him infatuatedly, making Kiragi couldn't help but smile.
"Little fool, I have never killed Shura. There is no such thing in the world..."
Sandalwood gently stood on tiptoes, stretched out her hand and pressed his lips lightly, and said seriously: "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. We mortals can't talk nonsense about the things of gods and Buddhas! If the gods and Buddhas hear it, something bad will happen."
things."
"Okay! Yu won't talk nonsense, but no matter how many children you give birth to, Yu will bring them up. Just rest assured, little fool!"
Zhihu was pregnant for more than three months. She got pregnant a little earlier than Sandalwood, and her temperament was a bit boring. After she became pregnant, besides taking a walk every day, she sewed some baby clothes in her vagina.
Every day there is always a maid in her room busy making some clothes.
Naoto's room is covered with all kinds of baby clothes, there are no less than dozens of them, and the colorful colors are dizzying. She pointed to these small clothes and said: "This is for Sister Huji."
Child. This is a child for sister Tanxiang, and this is a child for us. Does Your Highness think it looks good?"
Kira Yoshishi encouraged: "Well, it looks good! It's so beautiful! I didn't expect that little Ahu would not only go into battle to kill the enemy, but also be an excellent female singer! Please tell me about these clothes, little Ahu."
"Well, your highness saw this little coat. My children also wore little clothes when they were young. I tried many kinds of materials and was not satisfied with it, but I fell in love with a piece of fine cotton fabric from the Ming Dynasty, and the cotton sweater was knitted.
It is soft and warm. Not only can the children wear it, but we can also wear it. I am thinking of knitting a close-fitting coat for His Highness in some time." There is always a faint smile on the corner of Naohu's mouth, and he seems to have lost his temper after pregnancy.
He is more cheerful and cheerful, I wonder if it is his imagination.
"Thank you for your hard work. Leave these jobs to the maids. It's not worth it if you don't tire yourself out."
Naohu's soft voice said in a charming voice: "I know the importance of this. I only knit for a short time every day. I have been getting more and more sleepy recently and I won't be busy for long! Your Highness, you should take good care of yourself!"
"Yeah, I know my little Ahu is the best."
"...If necessary, I will come to see you little Ahu. I have been working very hard to practice the art of swallowing a gun!" Naohu blushed and did not dare to raise his head. He was obviously pregnant but looked like a little Ahu.
She is coy like a girl, but Kira Yoshiki likes her temperament. She is always so innocent and cute yet gentle and kind.
Serving a daughter-in-law is a hard job, and serving three daughters-in-law is an even more tiring task. He could just learn from those macho warriors and treat the main wife and side rooms as fertility machines. Dunlon doesn't know how to do that when having sex.
He felt pity and did not comfort them afterwards. He probably regarded them as an activity to vent his remaining energy. He was not the kind of person without conscience.
After taking care of the three ladies to sleep, Kira Yoshitoki was finally liberated. The ladies were pregnant and it was not suitable to stay overnight. The female officials were closely watching these. Kira Yoshitoki could only return to his single life. Fortunately, he was also open-minded.
He returned to his room and continued to think about the day's problems: "On one side is Oda Nobunaga, who has known each other for nine years without any enmity, and on the other side is Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has brought danger to the family but also given greater opportunities, and there is that fragile layer
The alliance is like paper, Tongzhajian, Tongzhajian, which side should I choose to support? I really don’t know how to make a decision.”
In the past, he did not have the power to interfere in the affairs of other countries because his strength was limited and he did not have enough self-protection to interfere in the affairs of other countries. Now that he has defeated Shinano and Ueno's two major enemies, his thoughts and eyes will inevitably be enlarged.
I consciously set my sights on Tokaido, which I have never paid much attention to.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's majesty in harnessing the power of the Three Kingdoms cannot be underestimated. Oda Nobunaga's potential and future influence are even more unpredictable. He is the kind of person who can burst into brilliance if given a slight chance. From a personal emotional point of view,
He is more inclined to Oda Nobunaga, and Imagawa Yoshimoto caused him to leave his hometown. It is impossible not to remember this grudge.
But rationally, he felt that Oda Nobunaga should be restrained. Knowing that he was so strong and allowing him to rise would not do him any good but would only increase greater uncertainty. However, this would create a contradiction for him.
If Tian Nobunaga failed in the surprise attack and was even killed as a result, it would cause a series of unimaginable changes.
Then if Imagawa Yoshimoto successfully seizes the Owari Kingdom, then the momentum of the Imagawa family will be unstoppable. With Imagawa Yoshimoto's powerful skills, it may stir up a bigger storm. It is not certain that the death of the Great Demon King will stir up more troubles.
A hurricane of magnitude 17 or 18. Without the advantage of foresight, he didn't know how to resist it.
"Thinking about it this way, there is a certain reason why Imagawa Yoshimoto is determined to go to Luo, because my appearance has caused unexpected changes in the Mikawa Kingdom. If I guessed correctly that the Kira family should be wiped out by the Imagawa family early, my unlucky brother might really
He was imprisoned in Suruga and died alone. The family members of the Mikawa Kira family were full of hatred for the Imagawa family. Although they surrendered to the Imagawa family, they could treacherously hinder the Imagawa family's attempt to strengthen their rule, so the Imagawa family would slow down in Mikawa.
He didn't go to Luo until the third year of Yonglu.
Because of my appearance and departure, the Mikawa Kingdom surrendered without a fight, and then a large number of samurai were taken away from Mikawa. This made it easier for Imagawa Yoshimoto to strengthen his rule over the Mikawa Kingdom. My brother becoming the son-in-law of Imagawa Yoshimoto could also help Imagawa.
The family’s rule over the Three Rivers Kingdom is stable. This will complete the integration process of Junyuan and Sanhe two years earlier than in history. Is that why he went to Luo in advance? Maybe that’s the case!”
The more he thought about it, the more energetic he became, and the long-standing problems were solved. His appearance was like a little butterfly that did not belong to this era, stirring up a huge storm that affected the world. As his influence grew,
, the uncertainty brought about by this storm also increased, which made him a little timid. If the Demon King was really killed, something terrible might happen.
Kira Yoshishi touched his nose and said depressedly: "You won't let me die because of this, right? This is impossible... It should be impossible! In short, this matter is difficult to deal with!"
The biggest difference when entering Eiroku and giving it to Kiragi came from the subtle changes in his psychology. It was as if someone was desperately urging him behind his back, telling him to move faster and faster. This can be seen from Shinano's strategy
It turned out that he was really anxious and had no time to use the terrazzo to slowly grind the Takeda family to death.
I became even more anxious when I saw this message today. After thinking about it over and over again in the middle of the night, I still couldn't make a decision. I simply made up my mind to ignore him and let the Imagawa and Oda families quarrel no matter what. The business was to run their own family business well first. As a result.
Changing your thinking can instantly make your blocked thoughts clearer.
"I'm really stupid. What does the affairs of the Imakawa family or the Oda family have to do with me? They can do whatever they like. No matter whether the bucket hazama is dead or alive, how much benefit can it bring to me Echigo? Let's think about it another way.
, this Imagawa Yoshimoto dares to threaten me, the Ashikaga family, not to invade the Kingdom of Kai, otherwise the Three Kingdoms Alliance will lead a large army to support Kai. After all, isn't it still about the actions of the Suruga Imagawa family? If the Sagami Hojo family is not afraid of being kidnapped.
, maybe he will consider it, but does he dare now? This Imagawa Yoshimoto is getting more and more courageous, and he dares to challenge the Ashikaga family of the 700,000 koku territory. He might as well die as soon as possible! Hum!" Kira Yoshi!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more lazy I am to help the Imagawa family.
If you think about it more carefully, the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto will be beneficial to him and harmless. Moreover, the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto will cause a fatal imbalance in the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Kosojun. In history, if one of the three giants of Kosojun dies, Takeda Shingen covets Jun.
River's opportunity, and Takeda Shingen's move just contributed to the complete breakdown of the Kabuto Shun alliance. After the Imagawa family was destroyed, the angry Hojo family and the Takeda family broke up, and then the Etsuto alliance emerged.
After all, Hojo and Imagawa have been married for generations. As a general of the Imagawa family, Hojo Soun joined the Izu Kingdom. In the first year of Bungame (1501), Hojo Soun also served as a general of the Imagawa family and attacked Mikawa. In the end, the division veteran was defeated by the Mikawa rich man.
It was not until the death of Hojo Soun twenty years later that the successor of the family governor, Hojo Uzuna, was recorded in relevant documents with the name "Hojo" for the first time. This shows that before that, he was the general of the Imagawa family.
Identity is overcoming obstacles in Kanto.
As long as the Takeda family dares to take action against the Imagawa family, the Three Kingdoms Alliance will definitely break. Thinking of this, Kiragi's thoughts spread, and a familiar smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Obazama is a good thing, not only must I
To support Oda Nobunaga, we must also find ways to help him. I hope Oda Nobunaga can be as brilliant as he was in history. I will cheer for you in Kasugayama Castle."
A pass, or pass, is a shallow, saddle-shaped place between two mountains on a ridge. It is the shortest path between Liangshan Mountains. It forms an important passage in the mountains, so it is also called a mountain pass or pass. The slope near some passes is relatively gentle and gentle.
Often called a ridge, the Shiojiri Pass is a gentle slope between the Suwa Basin and the Matsumoto Basin. From it, you can overlook the two basins, so it can also be called the Shiojiri Ridge.
In the midsummer of July, the mountains of Shinano are still cool and pleasant. A cool mountain breeze in the early morning blows through the clothes and removes the dryness on the body. The mountain road leading to Chikuma County is full of wild flowers, clusters of which are blooming together.
The branches and colorful colors render the blue sky and white clouds colorful.
For those who walk in Shinano all year round, this season is the best. In the past, there must have been an endless stream of porters and sellers traveling between the two basins at this time. They led their pack horses and sold salt from Suruga and Mikawa along the road.
Miso, Echigo's clothes, everything from the carpentry furniture purchased at home to every stitch and thread are involved, but in the past few days, a group of uninvited guests have descended from the mountain.
Takeda Nobushige stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the vast mountains in the distance. The undulating mountains were like a giant blue dragon lying on the land of Shinano. This mountain range twists and turns all the way to the southwest and leads directly to Minami Shinano. It is rare to see a
It's a sunny day. There are only a few light white clouds in the blue sky, like a ball of fluffy cotton.
Recalling that a few months ago, he was still waiting for the verdict in the Echigo prison, Takeda Nobushige suddenly felt as if he was in another world. Behind him were five thousand Kaifu warriors, who were neatly arranged in several columns and silently.
Standing in the middle of the mountain road, the red flag flutters gently in the mountain wind, and the golden Takeda Shikurishi is shining in the sun. That flag represents the glory of the Kai Genji. It carries the glorious history of more than ten generations of the Takeda family for hundreds of years.
.
Three days ago, in the Uzakikan in Kaifu, Takeda Harunobu said to him with worry: "The glory of Kai Genji cannot be insulted, and the humiliation we have suffered must be washed away with the blood of the enemy, Jiro! I, Takeda, are in Shinano.
I leave my foundation to you!"
He couldn't remember exactly how he responded at that time. He said goodbye to his wife with a sense of relief and relief, and rushed to the battlefield with his eldest son Takeda Yoshikatsu, who was only fifteen years old. The old Matsuo Nobu of the Shodai family came over and said: "Ahead.
It’s the Shiojiri Pass, and the Xiongjing City on the pass is an important point across the two basins. I don’t know what my lord plans to do.”
Takeda Nobushige squinted his eyes and replied calmly: "raid, action in the evening."
The sky gradually darkened. The not-so-wide Kumagai Castle also fell into silence. Dr. Saburo Yajima was the mayor of Kumagai Castle. Their family was originally from the Nishi-Suwa country and began to follow Ogasawara Nagatoki more than ten years ago.
In the last battle of Shiojiri Pass, Ogasawara's army was defeated in the first round by Takeda Nobushige as the vanguard, and then followed Ogasawara Nagatsu and retreated to Nakashinano.
Then I went back to Echigo. I haven't been home for more than ten years. Seeing my hometown so close, I can't help but feel homesick and a little sad. These days, I always dream of my wife and children who I haven't seen for more than ten years and look forward to it. In previous years, I only had
The relatives he would only think of on the first day of the first lunar month made him worried. He couldn't eat or sleep, so he could only drink some wine at night to help him sleep.
That evening, he drank a few more glasses of wine and lay down to rest under the influence of the wine. He didn't know how long he had slept when he heard a commotion in the city. After a while, several close friends rushed in and shouted: "My lord is not good."
, the Takeda Army has entered the city!"
"Nani!" Doctor Saburo Yajima was shocked and angry when he heard the bad news. He jumped up and shouted: "What did you say! How could the Takeda Army take the initiative to attack! You..."
Several family members of the clan also hurried in and reported back: "I carefully identified the flag as the flag seal of the Takeda Noriyama. It must be that the main force of the Takeda army is attacking. Please make a quick decision, my lord, whether to defend or retreat!"
Although they said "defend or retreat", their attitude made it clear that the only option was "retreat". It's not that they are too timid. In fact, when this small town is well prepared, it can withstand the siege of the army.
, if it was broken so easily, it would be impossible to defend it, not to mention that the attacker was Takeda Nobushige, a powerful enemy in the past.
When Dr. Yajima Saburo heard the news, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "Is it really Takeda Noriyama? Could it be that Takeda Noriyama is the Yellow Banner star of my family!"
Taking advantage of this moment, the shouts of killing in the city were getting closer and closer. Several family members of the clan were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They pulled him and ran away immediately. Guard Yajima Shichiro Youbei supported Yajima, who was in despair.
Dr. Shima Saburo said sincerely: "My lord! Please make a decision quickly! If it's later, we won't be able to escape!"
"That's right! Run away immediately. We have to run away faster and report the news to the Shinano garrison!" Dr. Yajima Saburo found any absurd reason and hurriedly retreated. The five hundred defenders in the city also followed when they saw their lord's retreat.
Running desperately, the maids ran to hide somewhere, and in the blink of an eye not a single person was left in the small city.
Takeda Nobushige ordered to stop driving and let them leave calmly. Takeda Nobushige was not Tada Mitsuru, a master of night fighting. It might be okay to make a surprise attack in the evening, but let him fight the night pursuit. It was already getting late now.
Blind pursuit is very likely to run into the Shinano Army's main formation. It is definitely a stupid choice to use the 5,000 soldiers in his hand to encounter the 17,000 army gathered by famous generals.
The news that Kumai Castle was breached soon reached the ears of Ogasawara Nagaki. Hearing that Takeda Nobushige personally led five thousand elites to attack the city, he forgave Dr. Yajima Saburo for fleeing without a fight. He naturally knew his old subordinates.
I am so afraid of Takeda Nobushige. When I fought with the Kira Army in the joint war in the past few years, I felt that the Takeda family was like paper that could be destroyed in a single blow. But if they really had to go head-to-head with the main force of the Takeda Army, they would become paper.
It's blurry.
After learning about the Takeda Army's new move, Ogasawara did not dare to take advantage of it for a long time. He immediately notified Yukitaka Sanada of Hayashi City and Murakami Yoshikiyo of Naihara Castle. The three armies belong to three places and are at each other's horns, so they can effectively prevent them.
Unexpected situations, in ancient times when there was a lack of intelligence, there were only a few ways to prevent unnecessary risks.
"If what I, Yukitaka, have predicted is correct, Nori Takeda must have arrived with reinforcements, and the reinforcements will not be very large." Yukitaka Sanada said with great certainty: "Because Kai currently only has 6,000 elites, and with Takeda Daizen's character
There will definitely be an elite force left behind to carry out comprehensive strategies, and the number of troops left for Takeda Noriyama is limited. Based on my understanding of the Takeda family, this reinforcement force is approximately between two thousand and three thousand. And the main force must be the Takeda people."
Ogasawara said with worry: "Since Tanzheng said this, it should be conclusive, but in this way, the Takeda Army has at least 12,000 troops, while we only have more than 17,000 people who have been hastily trained
The victory or defeat of the Chinese army is unpredictable! Instead of wanting to win and worrying about losing, we are really worried that if we make a mistake and ruin the Lord's major event, it will be bad."
Unlike Ogasawara's pessimistic mood, Murakami Yoshikiyo has no fear of Takeda Nobushige. He is the general of Shinano who defeated Takeda Shingen twice. Apart from Takeda Shingen personally leading the army, there is only one person who can make him fearful.
Yukitaka Sanada alone.
At the moment Yukitaka Sanada was sitting next to him. Naturally, he had nothing to worry about, so he said confidently: "Shinano Mamoru is worrying too much! From my point of view, I, Yoshikiyo, will be happy to win and lose, so there is no need to worry. If The fierce attack of the Takeda army makes it impossible for us to maintain the confrontation. We only need to guard a few important castles in Chikuma County. The Lord will definitely lead the army to come to the rescue. By then, it will not be Suwa County. I can explain what happened in the past."
After capturing Kumai Castle, Sone Masayo and Baba Nobuharu led their troops to the city immediately. Unfortunately, the small city was too small and could only accommodate 3,000 soldiers. For a huge army of 13,000 people, It was simply not enough. The flat slopes outside Kumai Castle could not build a branch city at all. The nearest Akagi Castle was very close to the vanguard of the Shinano Army. After thinking about it, the two decided to order Ashigaru to cut down trees and build camps as a strategy. Complete.
The Takeda Army wanted to attack but did not dare to attack. They were unwilling to attack. On the other side, the Kira family and the Shinano Army were about the same. It was definitely not a pleasant thing to climb the mountain and attack Shiojiri Pass, but it was not possible to capture Kumagui. The strategic significance of the Shiojiri Pass is clear to both sides. Allowing the Takeda family to gain the initiative at the Shiojiri Pass would be tantamount to stagnating the Shinano Army's activity in Chikuma County, and perhaps a little careless loss of Suwa County's military strength. He broke into Chikuma County and went on a rampage, causing endless trouble to himself.
Ogasawara looked around anxiously for a moment, and in the blink of an eye he saw Murakami Yoshikiyo's disapproving look, and said anxiously: "But I didn't expect the Takeda Army to act so quickly and decisively that they would build a stronghold on Shiojiri Pass. If we can't hold Shiojiri Pass, we will It will cause big trouble, but it will be very difficult to attack. If we don’t attack the Lord, we won’t be able to explain it. What should we do?”
"Hey! Shinano Mamoru is wrong in what he said. Does the Lord care about the gain and loss of a mountain pass? Why can't he explain it! Appointing us to exercise military and political power as the leader of Shinano is the Lord's trust in us. , it is a test for us. If you survive this test, you and I will hopefully be promoted to be the elders of the clan..." Just as he was speaking, Murakami Yoshikiyo glanced at Yukitaka Sanada, who had been smiling silently.
Compared with merit, Murakami Yoshikiyo has made a lot of achievements over the years, but because he made wrong judgments in the past and was always unwilling to bow to the Kira family, many of his achievements were in vain, but with his victory in the Battle of Kawanakajima For his merits in holding on to Kaijin Castle, he captured the banner of Northern Shinano, which had the largest military force among the Shinano people. He was rewarded by leading the Lang Party he was most familiar with. However, he did not give him the elder brother he wanted most, but only encouraged him. Encourage him to keep up his efforts and strive for greater achievements.
He knew very well that it was very difficult to get the clan elder, but the guy in front of him had easily obtained the coveted clan elder as a new member. Even though most samurai were afraid of the majesty of the family governor and did not dare to show off, private jealousy was unavoidable. Yes, what have you done in Shinano, Yukitaka Sanada, has been completely copied by Kira Ninja? To say that this achievement is indeed a bit shocking, but can you continue this magic? Since you also have to perform to stabilize yourself Now that I have newly acquired the old position of the Genedai family, shouldn’t I show more real skills?
Murakami Yoshikiyo's utilitarianism is not that strong. A samurai of his age is more concerned about family business and heirs. However, it seems that his youngest son Gengoro does not have the qualifications of his deceased brothers. He will inevitably have to think more when he comes. The sooner he becomes a family minister, the higher the status and status of his family will be in the future. Issues related to the family governor are no small matter, and you can't blame him for having a few words in his words. Be careful.
Yukitaka Sanada smiled gently and said: "Don't worry, you two. I, Yukitaka, had already made a plan in my mind. The Takeda Army on Shiojiri Pass thought they had a plan, but they didn't know that they had put themselves in a dilemma. I believe Takeda Norimu will soon be
He will figure out the key. If he is allowed to demolish Xiongjing City or even burn it down, it will be a big disadvantage, but we cannot let him realize it so early. We must act quickly."
The two people suddenly became energetic: "Action? How to act."
"Takeda Norimu must think that our army is too wary to attack, and there is still confidence in a short-term confrontation. If my prediction is correct, the Takeda army must be thinking about the confrontation until the autumn harvest before making plans. Do you two know what to do?
To do the opposite? That’s because you thought I didn’t dare to attack the city, but I just attacked the city to show you. Not only did I have to attack the city, I also used the tactics Takeda Norimu used, night attack!”
Three days later, the Shinano Army marched to Omiya Hachimangu Shrine, not far from Akagi Castle, to offer prayers and pray for Shinano to be pacified. Then they set up a battle screen outside Omiya Hachimangu Shrine, and the three generals invited the Ashikaga Niubi and the Two Flags.
Hanging in front of the gate of Hachiman Palace, Murakami Yoshikiyo took a deep breath and shouted: "Your Majesty, Hachiman Bodhisattva, please bless the Minamoto clan's martial arts for a long time, and bless us to win!"
"We must win! We must win! We must win!" Seventeen thousand people burst into enthusiastic cheers, and more than a dozen military taiko drums were played in unison to boost morale. In ancient times, morale was the most important factor in military affairs. Whether the soldiers could fight or not was the first priority.
Whether you are an elite or not depends on morale. Without morale, you are just a clay doll without a soul. It will fall apart when the flood comes.
Shinano's army set out again, targeting Kumai Castle at Shiojiri Pass. However, their majestic army stopped advancing as soon as they arrived at Jokoji Temple, one mile away from Kumai Castle. Then the civilians were busy cutting wood, boiling water, setting up tents, and establishing a long-term garrison.
In such a posture, Masayo Sone of Kumai Castle took a deep breath and grinned: "This Shinano Army is nothing more than that! They created such a huge formation at Omiya Hachimangu Shrine, but they actually stopped after only walking a mile.
Who are you trying to scare?"
The warriors of the Takeda family burst into laughter, and the heavy and dull pressure of many days dissipated a lot. Yonekura Tango Morishigetsugi also joined in and said: "I heard that the guard of Kumai Castle was still a subordinate of Nomashiden ten years ago.
The defeated general was so frightened when he saw the flag of the Dian Stable Palace that he didn't even dare to resist and ran away. Are these people worthy of being warriors? It's really ridiculous!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, and the novel will be updated.
