At the same time, on March 30, the twelfth year of Tianwen (1543), at the sixth quarter of Mao hour, Dalian Temple.
"Guess what Miyoshi Nagakei is doing right now?" In the Buddhist hall of Dalian Temple, Kizawa Nagamasa, who was still leisurely and leisurely, asked his hatmotos with a smile. Naturally, the hatmotos couldn't answer, and they shook their heads one by one and asked for instructions.
.
"He is thinking about how to transport the grain in the granary back to Tamba and then send it to the Settsu front line. These idiots,
Is it really because I can’t see such a low-grade countermeasure to surrender?” Kizawa Nagamasa sneered twice and slammed the cattail leaf fan in his hand to the ground: “Then Matsunagahide thought he could deceive me? What else could they say?
Their goal is to attack me, and the attack on the granary is just a feint. I think they just want to fake it and trick me into leaving the main force in Dalian Temple so that they can take the opportunity to transport the food away."
"But..." The bannermen looked at each other in shock after hearing this, "We did leave a large army to ambush near Dalian Temple."
"Who knows what level the Mihaoshi family and those Jiajun missions are on? What if they really want to attack Dalian Temple? No coach would do it when he has an advantage.
Why don't we leave heavy troops to protect ourselves and give the opponent a chance to make a comeback?" Kizawa Nagamasa showed an expression as steady as an old dog, and then changed the topic: "And, if we don't leave a large army in Dalian Temple, what if we don't leave a large army in Dalian Temple?
If we don’t pretend to be deceived by the Mihaoshi family’s surrender plan, how can the Mihaoshi family dare to boldly intercept grain?”
The bannermen were completely stunned: "What does Your Highness mean?"
"I have already set up an ambush on their original road back to Tanba." Kizawa Nagamasa waved his hand and pointed to the northwest of Kyoto - the direction of Naito Bi's return route. "When they return with large and small bags carrying food,
That time will be their death."
The ambush set by Kizawa Nagamasa was Miyoshi, who had a bloody feud with Miyoshi Nagakei. Miyoshi, who was originally ordered to stay at the granary, actually only left more than 1,000 of his close associates led by his son Miyoshi Masayasu in the granary.
And he took 3,000 soldiers to ambush at the line between Daikakuji Temple and Qingliangji Temple in the northwest of Kyoto and the border between Tamba Country, waiting for Naito, who had "returned with a full load", to fall into his trap.
Although the public's fighting will is not high, attacking the food transport team is still not a big problem. As long as Naito Bei's auxiliary team transporting food is dispersed before he can react, and the soldiers are affected, then Miyoshi Nagakei will be able to
Even with three heads and six arms, there is no way to make a comeback.
"Miyoshi Changqing has attacked the Kyoto granary and openly conspired to rebel. This is a provocation to Gongfang Palace and His Royal Highness. As the personal guards of Gongfang Palace, you are responsible for attacking the rebels." At this moment,
Prime Minister Miyoshi was mobilizing the battlefield at the top of his lungs to the people behind him - after all, you still need some reasons to make the shogunate's direct force work for you - Miyoshi's flagrant act of rebellion at the moment undoubtedly gave Prime Minister Miyoshi a
An excuse was provided.
Although most of the public samurai are doubtful about this reason - after all, they also know the grudges between Miyoshi Nagakei and Miyoshi Masaki. But no matter what, Miyoshi Nagakei did lead people to use swordsmanship in Kyoto.
It makes sense to attack the granary and have the public crusade against him.
When the battle broke out in the granary just now, Miyoshi had already ordered the ambushing troops to wear armor. And after the fighting at the granary gradually extinguished, Miyoshi was ready for war at any time, eagerly waiting for his prey to enter the ambush circle -
-Waiting for the death of the clan brother who has always surpassed him in terms of fame - just like Miyoshi Changqing's equally famous father.
However, Miyoshi was waiting for a while, but Miyoshi Nagakei and Naito Bei never arrived. Seeing the white fish belly in the east becoming more and more clear, and even the sun was faintly visible, Miyoshi became completely anxious - Miyoshi Nagakei
Where are people?
"Go and search! Go and search for traces of Naitobi!" At this moment, Miyoshi Prime Minister did not care about the possible discovery of the ambush, and sent out all the detective horses under his command to find the whereabouts of Miyoshi Nagakei.
Half an hour later, at 2:00 a.m., bad news came.
"Your Highness, judging from the footprints and the confessions of the surrounding residents, Miyoshi Chikuzen's troops transported food southward after robbing the granary!"
"Your Highness, we have contacted the young master! The young master said that indeed he did not see Miyoshi Chikuqian going north, he must have gone south! He asked for instructions from your highness,
Should I pursue you or come to meet with you?"
"Your Highness,
Traces of Naito Bei were found near Nagaenji Temple! Miyoshizuki is heading south!"
"Why are you going south? Where are you going to go south?" Miyoshi was stunned, "Tamba is in the northwest of Kyoto. He doesn't transport food back to Tamba? Going south is Settsu. There are all places there.
It’s the Kizawa family’s army! Is he going to forcefully carry the food through the Kizawa family’s camp and rush over to deliver it to Ikku City? How is that possible?”
But the possibility is no longer important. After all, Miyoshi Nagakei can do anything and do anything - and now, hasn't he done something that Kizawa Nagamasa didn't expect in all his plans?
"Hurry south and pursue! At the same time, notify His Highness the Kizawa Military Department and ask him to quickly lead his army to the southwest and outflank Miyoshi Changqing. We can't let him escape!" Miyoshi Masakazu shouted to the messenger while getting on his horse.
At the same time, Naito Bei was heading south unhurriedly carrying food.
"Master, what are you doing? Why are you going south?" Matsunaga Hide watched the troops go further and further south, getting further and further away from Tamba in the northwest. He couldn't help but ask: "If you want to transport food to the front line, you can only take a detour.
Tanba, if you go further south you will reach Settsu, where you will meet the main force of Kizawa Nagamasa. Didn’t we plan to rob food and return to Tanba the same way?"
"Why are you asking?" Miyoshi Changqing glanced at Matsunaga Hide sideways, "Of course it's because I'm guarding you, Tanzheng. I'm not sure whether you betrayed me, so naturally I can't act according to the original plan. What if you
If I revealed the plan to Kizawa Nagamasa, or if Kizawa Nagamasa guessed that my real purpose was to transport food, he would definitely ambush an army on the retreat route to the northwest and wait for us to return."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Master, I am truly sincere!" Matsunagahide was once again startled by Miyoshi Nagaki's words, and hurriedly waved his hands on his horse, "But no matter what, I am going to
It’s not possible to go south, right?”
"Don't worry, be honest." Miyoshi Changqing shook his head and returned to his usual state again - the 100% perfect governor state - a state that is enough to make any retainer unconditionally believe in his judgment.
"Kizawa Nagamasa is finished. But my plan has just begun."
At four o'clock in the morning, Kizawa Nagamasa in Dalian Temple felt anxious for the first time.
Since the ambush of Chief Miyoshi in the northwest of Kyoto has not yet sent a signal to take action, could it be that Miyoshi Nagakei has not completed the task of robbing grain and leaving the city for so long? What is he doing?
And because Dairenji Temple is so quiet and terrifying - except for the first people who set fire to Heian Shrine, no one has come to attack - the promised Kashun Mission will come to attack? Is it strange? Is it strange?
Is this just a cover-up trick used by the Sanhao family to deceive me? Or is it that the group of people who came to set fire just now were already the entire force of the Jiajun Mission?
Although there were no changes in the situation that Kizawa Nagamasa could not cope with at present, the excessive silence still made him upset - and changes soon occurred. Miyoshi Masaka's messengers hurried to the gate of Dalian Temple
, he didn’t even bother to remember his slippers after he dismounted, and stumbled all the way to the door at the top of the pagoda. Foreign Exchange reported:
"His Royal Highness, something bad has happened. Miyoshi Chikuzen did not go northwest, but went south with food and grass! His Highness Echigo is pursuing, please send troops immediately to outflank Miyoshi Chikuzen!"
"Going south?" Kizawa Nagamasa stood up immediately, then walked to the map hanging on the wall, and repeatedly checked the official road southwest of Kyoto, "Is there no one that leads to the front line?"
"Does he want to transport food through the waterway?" Kizawa Nagamasa stared at the map for a long time, still doubtful, "Transporting grain through the Yodogawa waterway? It's not feasible...what exactly is he going to do?"
"Forget it, never mind, the whole army will follow me immediately, stop Miyoshi Changqing's fellow, can't let him leave Kyoto, and intercept all the food! Take advantage of Miyoshi Changqing while he is still in Kyoto, so as not to let the tiger go back to the mountain, and again
Let him do something unexpected." After thinking for a moment, Kisawa Nagamasa no longer hesitated. After walking quickly down the Buddhist hall, he mounted his horse and led the troops of the Kisawa family and the Kyoto garrison of the Hosokawa family to the southwest.
They were heading in the same direction, intending to cooperate with the pursuing political minister Miyoshi to attack Miyoshi Changqing from a flank.
"Kizawa Nagamasa finally couldn't hold back his anger." At this time, in the streets southeast of Dalian Temple, Taiyuan Xuezhai was looking with satisfaction at the smoke and dust rising from Dalian Temple and the mighty army heading southwest.
"After all, they were lured out by the Mihaoshi family."
"Everything is as expected by the teacher. Either the Miyoshi family had no good intentions and leaked the plan to Kizawa Hyobu, or Kizawa Hyobu himself guessed that we were going to attack him, and actually left so many ambushes inside and outside Dalian Temple."
Imagawa Yoshimoto saw the enemy troops coming out of their hiding places one after another, and couldn't help but feel a little scared - if the Imagawa family really went to attack Dairenji, with their dozens of people, they probably wouldn't be enough to ambush them.
sewn.
"Then let's go according to the plan. Let's go to Awata Shrine." Taiyuan Yuksai rubbed his hands and pointed to the southeast - Awada Shrine is where Kizawa Nagamasa placed Ashikaga Yoshiharu, Hosokawa Harumoto and other ministers under house arrest.
place, "He has transferred the main force of Dairenji Temple to encircle Miyoshi Chikuzen, and there will be no reinforcements for Awata Shrine."
At eight o'clock in the morning, Awata Shrine.
The people guarding this place are Kizawa Nagamasa's cronies, Hatamoto. They also know the importance of the people being imprisoned here, so naturally they will not leave. Hundreds of people have surrounded the small shrine. However, not long ago, they
Seeing that the main force of Dairenji left their base one after another and headed toward the southwest, they vaguely felt that something had happened - but people at their level would not know about it. Only the leading captain, Junji Matsumoto, was notified.
"Sir, we..." A curious Hatamoto guard took the initiative to ask Matsumoto Junji.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with us here. There's some trouble in the west of the city." Matsumoto Junji also had a very strict tone, but as long as he said, "There's nothing wrong with us here," everyone felt relieved.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the shrine. Matsumoto Junji suddenly became vigilant, and hurriedly led a few people to the door in person, and found a young man with a gentle and delicate appearance standing outside the door.
"My Majesty, Shinagawa Goro, would like to see His Royal Highness, please give me your name." Imagawa Yoshimoto bowed respectfully, but the guards of the Kizawa family were all shocked - how did the man in front of him know that Hosokawa Harumoto was under house arrest?
Here?
Seeing the reaction of the bannermen, Imagawa Yoshimoto also understood in his heart - the information provided by Kanemasa Ichijo was correct, and the important officials were detained here.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Junji Matsumoto responded coldly, while pressing his hand on the handle of the knife, and the Hatakes behind him also followed suit.
"In that case, I would like to ask you to name me." Imagawa Yoshimoto sighed and held the Sosanzumoji on his waist.
"What do you mean?" Junji Matsumoto became even more nervous.
"Is there any reason to duel with someone whose name I don't know?" Imagawa Yoshimoto said calmly.
"Okay, I am Junji Matsumoto." Junji Matsumoto also snorted coldly, "Do you still want to go through the level alone?"
