Two months later, on July 8, the sixth year of Tianwen (1537), Xiqi City, Yuanjiang Kingdom.
Imagawa Yoshizhin is very confused, and has become more and more confused recently.
Although the 300 flags in the Honmaru school are still practicing vigorously, and with the actual combat experience from last year's battle, their combat effectiveness will only be higher.
But Imagawa Yoshima became more and more confused. As a time traveler, he did not gain the same status as in the time travel novels he read in his previous life. Instead, he kept falling into the hands of the natives, and was defeated again and again.
After his initial failure, he actually realized that although he was a time traveler, he was just an ordinary person in his time. But his opponents after time travel were all talents who could leave their name in history. If not
If you give him enough time to climb the technology tree, all he can rely on is history. Once the direction of history changes, it is natural to lose.
But now he feels more and more strange. He just feels that everything he does as a time traveler in this era is not satisfactory.
He also knew that the Imagawa clan, which suffered a lot last year, would be able to recover roughly after the autumn harvest, and it was expected that there would be further movements. In order to deal with it, Imagawa Yoshizhin tried to find allies. He first sent people to the Matsudaira family, but there was some internal confusion.
The Matsudaira family had no time to take care of themselves and rejected his request.
Then he found the Oda family, a family that was about to soar into the sky in the history of his previous life. There were countless talents and generals in the family. If he could get help from the Oda family, it would be even more powerful for Imagawa Yoshima. Oda Nobuhide
He is also quite ambitious, so he will definitely be willing to intervene in the internal fighting of the Imagawa family, right?
Sure enough, as Imagawa Yoshizhin had judged with the help of historical knowledge, Oda Nobuhide was very interested in Imagawa Yoshizhin's request for alliance, and had a pleasant conversation with the envoy sent by Imagawa Yoshizhin. Just before the alliance was about to be signed, something unexpected happened.
It happened. When the envoy Imagawa Yoshizhin was walking on the street, he was hit by a kid running around in the street. The kid actually bit the envoy's leg. The envoy was so angry that he kicked him hard.
He kicked the little kid and kicked him away. Then he saw a group of children following them and the guards of the Oda family behind the group of children.
The person he kicked was none other than Oda Nobhide's legitimate son, the future Sengoku hero Oda Nobunaga, who was still a three-year-old Owari little fool at the time.
After hearing the news, Oda Nobuhide was furious and almost killed the envoy. Finally, he was persuaded by the left and right sides and expelled the envoy sent by Imagawa Yoshima. After receiving the reward, Imagawa Yoshima was so angry that he did not personally kill the envoy.
Cut it off - how could such a bad luck happen to him? Is it true that nothing went smoothly after traveling through time?
He thought about the incident in Kyoto again. It was clear that he had already set up an ambush before Imagawa Yoshimoto, used Nagoya Ujitoyo to transfer Imagawa Yoshimoto's ninjas away, and finally took Imagawa Yoshimoto's sweetheart as a hostage. He stayed at the hotel and waited.
, Imagawa Yoshimoto was already in a certain death situation. Who would have thought that Imagawa Yoshimoto would suddenly appear from the hotel and cut his people to pieces.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Imagawa Yoshima later sent people back to Kyoto for an investigation, and then discovered that there was actually a long-abandoned tunnel under the cesspit of the hotel, and almost no one knew about it. How did Imagawa Yoshimoto discover it? So how did Imagawa Yoshimoto discover it?
, Imagawa Yoshima sent people to inquire around again, and then learned what happened from a vegetable seller in the block next to the hotel: that day, a young man led the way and led Imagawa Yoshimoto and others into the secret passage
The boss witnessed all this but did not dare to say anything. Later, after seeing the young man walking out of the secret passage alone, he went to confirm what the secret passage was.
"Where did this troublesome young man come from?"
While Imagawa Yoshima was slandering, he was trying hard to retrieve the memories of the first half of his life that he inherited from Xuanguang Etan, but he couldn't find the appearance of this young man - he was a complete stranger. Moreover, Xuanguang
Etan has never had any enemies in Kyoto. So why on earth did this person help Imagawa Yoshimoto, and then put Imagawa Yoshima to death?
Then there is the Hojo family. The Hojo family is really the most outrageous. Imagawa Yoshima originally sent his trusted ninja Momotosaburo back with Hojo Genan, but he never came back. The Hojo family said that Momotosaburo himself disappeared, and Imagawa Yoshima
How can you really believe it?
And after reviewing the battle after last year's autumn harvest, Imagawa Yoshima discovered something strange again. The Hojo family actually sent troops to attack the Fuji River on the morning of his ambush - but at that time, the envoy Imagawa Yoshima sent to inform the Hojo family had not yet
On the way, how did the Hojo family know in advance that the main force of the Imagawa family was coming to the far river instead of by the Fuji River?
Faced with Imagawa Yoshima's questioning, the Hojo family's explanation was that on the morning when Imagawa Yoshima was ambushed, they happened to suddenly surmise that Taiyuan Xuezhai was using a trick of suspicion, and then decided to march into the army to relieve Imakawa Yoshima's pressure -
-Imagawa Ryo is really even more unbelievable?
It was obvious that the Hojo family had seen through this plot a long time ago, so they negotiated peace with the Takeda family in advance and made plans to march. However, the Hojo family did not tell Imagawa Yoshima about the plot, causing him to fall into the trap and suffer a huge defeat.
Lose. If Imagawa Yoshimoto was not eager to save his army, the entire Yuejiang would have been pacified, and Imagawa Yoshima himself would not be able to escape.
The Hojo family wants to trap Imagawa Yoshima himself to death - Imagawa Yoshima can't figure out why the Hojo family does this, why they treat an ally who can contain the Imagawa clan in Yuejiang like this. Could it be that he hopes
Imagawa Yoshima was destroyed, and then faced with a reunified Imagawa family?
"Why is everyone targeting me? Why do I have bad luck wherever I go? Why doesn't anything go smoothly after time travel? Why do strangers in Kyoto want to harm me? Why do allies want to harm me even if they abandon the family members?
?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Imagawa Yoshima was holding on to the railing, and the confusion in his heart was overwhelming, but there were gradually signs of coming to light.
After the autumn harvest, on September 5, the sixth year of Tenmon (1537), the Imagawa clan re-armed the army, with Okabe Matsuna as the general, and led the army eastward, preparing to recapture the lost areas along the Fuji River. However, the Hojo family was already prepared and sent
Hojo Tamimasa and Tominaga Naokatsu were stationed at Hamaishiyama; Hojo Tsunadaka, Tame Motoda and Kasahara Nobue were stationed in the Yui Plain; and then Hojo Ujiyasu personally led the main force across the Fuji River and stationed in Kabara Castle, with a high probability of capturing Imagawakan.
Posture.
If you want to attack the Fuji River, you need to pass through a narrow official road, and the Hojo family's army is blocking it. The Imagawa clan's plan to regain the lost territory has become almost impossible from the beginning. At the same time, Imagawa Yoshima also raised troops behind him.
, led the army to besiege Kakegawa City. The Imagawa clan had only a small number of troops, so they had to allocate half of them to garrison in Yuanjiang.
The Hojo family took advantage of the situation and marched to Yokoyama Castle. The Shimizu navy began to be active along the Suruga River, suppressing the Imagawa family's Xingjin navy. Hojo Utsuna even hired hundreds of merchant ships to carry supplies back and forth to reduce logistics.
Under pressure from both sides, Toe and Sagami, the Imagawa clan inevitably fell into the crisis of destruction.
Imagawa Yoshimoto had long expected it, but the day he was most worried about finally came.
On the evening of October 11, the sixth year of Tianwen (1537), inside the Imagawakan Castle Tower.
Imagawa Yoshimoto, who did not go out in person to fight, stayed in the Imagawa Pavilion, folding paper ginkgo trees in front of the oil lamp every night, and today was no exception. Until there was a sound of footsteps at the door - those of Taiyuan Xuezhai -
- But Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was too familiar with his teacher, could tell that this step was different from his usual steps, and seemed to be deliberately concealing something. His heart sank, but he already understood everything.
Taiyuan Xue Zhai opened the door and looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto inside the room. The golden paper ginkgo now filled half of the room, and Imagawa Yoshimoto was sitting in the ginkgo pile, folding the paper with his skillful hands. Imagawa Yoshimoto
No words were spoken, and Taiyuan Xuezhai didn't speak either. The master and the disciple remained silent in an awkward silence.
"Chengfang..." After struggling for a long time, Taiyuan Xuezhai finally decided to speak, "As you know, our current situation is not very good. We are attacked on both sides..."
"Whose daughter is it?"
Imagawa Yoshimoto directly interrupted Taiyuan Xuezhai's preparation. However, the movements of his own hands did not stop. Instead, just like every night of the year, he quickly and skillfully folded pieces of paper one after another.
Ginkgo. As if the movements of the hands continue, the feelings that are carefully protected can also continue.
"She is the daughter of the Takeda family. After Kamahara Castle was captured by the Hojo family, the Takeda family's sea salt supply was cut off, and the Takeda family could no longer bear it. The Takeda family also did not want to see the Hojo family grow, and we hit it off with this."
Taiyuan Xue Zhai tried his best to keep his tone stable, "It is your father-in-law and my master who helped you arrange the marriage. It was decided a few days ago, but I didn't tell you until today. With the help of the Takeda family, we can
There is a chance to defeat the Hojo family and regain the lost territory. Because it is a secret marriage, there will be no large-scale wedding. The daughter sent by the Takeda family will be at Imagawakan tomorrow night, so you should prepare it."
Imagawa Yoshimoto did not answer, but his movements suddenly stopped. He stared at the paper ginkgo in his hand that was about to be folded in the last step. He focused all his attention on the ginkgo, trying not to let his auditory and thinking nerves get distracted.
Operation, trying hard to freeze the words Taiyuan Xuezhai said into meaningless syllables - as long as you don't think about it, you don't have to face it, you can continue to escape.
However, it cannot be avoided after all.
After all, he was too naive. Ginkgo had already figured out things, but he refused to recognize the reality until the last moment.
In troubled times, the children of the Wu family cannot escape. Their marriage has never been controlled by themselves.
"Feel sorry."
Taiyuan Xuezhai whispered, rarely apologizing to his apprentice in such an attitude.
Miaomiao scratched the tatami with her claws irritably and said "ha" heavily to Taiyuan Xuezhai.
"I don't blame you, old man."
Imagawa Yoshimoto let out a long sigh, folded the last corner of the last ginkgo, and slowly put it into his arms. When he raised his head, two lines of clear tears fell down the tear tracks.
"I've been prepared for it a long time ago. I can't escape it."
The prime years are gone, and this life suddenly disappears. The capital city of Nara disappears.
When I think about it, the world is like a rock. Who would have expected that it would be difficult to stay in this world.
You and I are together, the journey is still difficult. How to get there now, we are together more and more autumn.
The ginkgo trees in late autumn are like dew withering. There is destiny in the next life, even if it is not the case.
