With these same words, all the Chinese people almost collapsed.
"If you are dissatisfied, you can kill me and let the Lord send someone else."
Yoshitsugi Otani said this, but his tone smelled of blood, and he seemed to be preparing for a bloody battle.
The local servants present also hoped that following Sibo Yiyin's founding of the country would make life easier. Now, when the Sibo people and the Baidi family are fighting for military power, who is willing to take the lead?
The samurai mentality is based on the idea that whoever is strong will follow the other. Just now, Otani Yoshitsugi pretended to be a fool and deceived the third husband of Momochi, and then decisively killed Takino Yoshimasa, Momochi's die-hard loyalist.
This move really frightened the warriors, and no one wanted to die. The original ambiguous position was cut off by Otani Yoshitsugi, and there was no longer any gray area that could be blurred.
Either Spo or Baidi, your choice!
It was also the third wife of Momochi who underestimated the enemy. She thought that Otani Yoshitsugi was the flagship of Shiba Yiyin, and he was just a fledgling.
Who knows that although this guy is young, he has been suppressed by the Rokkaku family since he was a child and has suffered a lot. What he knows best is to paralyze the enemy and take decisive action.
After being silent for an unknown amount of time, a Ji warrior finally stood up and knelt down to kowtow.
"My family is willing to follow General Otani and make contributions."
She gritted her teeth and finished speaking, also wanting to take a gamble. Her family had a bad relationship with the Momochi family, and there was no way out in Nanyiga, so she could only endure it silently.
This opportunity was right in front of her, and the Wu family's fierceness aroused, so she stepped forward and became the first to take the lead.
Otani Yoshitsugi looked at her, pointed at the body of Takino Yoshimasa on the ground, and asked.
"This man named Takino Yoshimasa, is there anyone in the military at home?"
"There are already several Hime warriors in the Takino family army, including some Ashigaru."
"Stabilize them and trick the leader into coming in."
With murderous intent in his soft words, the warrior Ji raised his head and wiped off his sweat, nodded, and went out.
Otani Yoshitsugi continued to look at the crowd. With a leader taking the lead, everyone in the crowd knelt down.
In the end, before the deceiver came, all the other eighteen families present except Momochi and Takino recognized Otani Yoshitsugi's status as a general.
Then it will be easy to deal with, when the Takino family comes in, one person cuts each other, and a tacit understanding is formed with blood.
After that, Otani Yoshitsugi sat on the main seat where the third husband of Momochi was just now and said.
"First kill all the Takino family members in the army, you."
Pointing at the warrior Ji who surrendered first.
"Choose a few families to go and conquer the Takino family's village."
"Yes, Lord Otani."
Otani Yoshitsugi glanced at the scene, even though the white cloth covering her face could not block her evil aura.
"I will give you three days. After three days, the whole army will set off."
"Yes, Lord Otani."
All the Ji warriors bowed their heads.
Compared to Takatora Toudo and Yoshitsugi Otani, Maeda's interests in Yuno are much more troublesome.
After the Hattori family left Iga, the Yuno area was governed by the joint autonomy of Hattori's branch families and the former twenty affiliated villages.
The so-called alliance means that when there is nothing, everyone quarrels, and when there is something, everyone stirs up trouble. There is no need to deal with it, and there is a lot of trouble. Everyone is still related to each other. This kind of structure is the most exclusive.
When Maeda arrived at Yuye, he first found the Kuroda village.
As expected, a group of Yuno countrymen were confronting the Kitaiga army who came to destroy the Kuroda family, and they were talking sarcastically and sarcastically.
The people from Kitaiga were feeling uncomfortable when they came to Yuye, and they didn't know why they came to annihilate the Kuroda family.
Speaking of which, Kuroda is also an old man among the Iga people and has some blood ties with the Hattori family.
People from the Northern Iga country generally do not come to Iga. Iga Rokusho Village used to be a warring country during the Warring States Period. Later, it was merged into three areas, each of which was responsible for its own affairs. Even if the Hattori family unified Iga Country,
Just add water to the other two places.
In the end, everyone joined forces and determined the leadership positions of the Fubu family, the Momochi family and the Fujibayashi family in the remaining two areas, and that was it.
The most important thing in ancient society was the rural party. Even the Emperor and I could not defeat these village shrews, so we had to rely on rural sages.
As an old saying goes, if the monarch's power does not extend to the countryside, it will reach its limit at the county level. If we want to take care of the bad things of the folks in these villages, we must first establish a group with a political program.
Japanese generals will not come down to take care of these thankless things. Japan's rural sages are the country's servants. And Yuye is a group of countrymen without a leader, which is the most troublesome.
That’s why Yi Bank said it was pushing Maeda’s interests into the fire pit.
Takatora Toudo and Yoshitsugi Otani were able to find at least one person in charge to summon the people of the country to compete with her for power.
Even if Maeda wants to fight, he can't find anyone to fight with. He also needs to drag the rest of the field out to fight within a short period of time. It's normal if this doesn't happen, but it's a surprise if it does.
"What are you waiting for?
I am Maeda's interest under Shiba Gozen, and the Lord has appointed me to serve as the general of Yuye's army.
Send someone out to respond!"
Maeda didn't talk nonsense, he rode his horse to separate the two sides, stood in the middle, turned his horse around, and asked.
The rest of the crowd looked at me and I looked at you without making a sound. The Chinese from North Iga over there spoke.
"Master Maeda, we were sent by Master Fujibayashi to exterminate the Kuroda family.
But the Kuroda family's whereabouts are unknown, and these Yuye guys won't let us leave, which is really annoying.
Please, sir, make the decision for us."
After hearing what the Kitaiga native said, Maeda turned to look at the Yuno native and asked a question with the most arrogant expression.
"Where did the Kuroda family go? Why didn't you quickly prepare armaments and gather military strength? Did you all turn a deaf ear to His Highness's words?"
Although the countryman was a little resistant, Maeda brought up the great god Shiba Yoshiyin. She hesitated and chose to answer.
"Sir, the Kuroda family is none of our business. Her family ran away overnight after hearing that they were going to kill her.
We didn't stand in the way of these idiots from North Iga, but they asked us for help. Where can we find someone with all the conscience of heaven and earth?
I heard that her family went to that mountain forest, and they hid it there, and no one could find it."
The countryman pointed to the endless woods next to the village and looked at Maeda with a helpless expression. But her eyes that kept moving were flexible and hinted at a smile.
Maeda Yoshie said to the people of Kita-Iga.
"You go back, I will carry out His Highness's orders."
The people of Kitaiga were overjoyed when they heard this. They didn't want to offend anyone. If it weren't for military orders that were difficult to disobey, who would be willing to take this trip into troubled waters.
Since a fool has taken over, it would be best. He bowed respectfully to Maeda Benefit, turned around and left, walking quite quickly, as if he was afraid that Maeda Benefit would regret it.
Seeing the people from Kitaiga running away, everyone in the field looked at Maeda Yiyi with even more joking eyes.
The Iga people are old players in the mountains and forests. This adult is also confused. Without the help of the people from the Northern Iga country, who would be able to find the Kuroda family.
We are all fellow villagers, and even if we don't help, we won't tell outsiders where they are hiding.
Let's see how Lord Maeda explains to His Highness Shiba. Anyway, it is none of Yu Yezhong's business.
Maeda also knew that he had no prestige and could not suppress the rest of the crowd just by relying on Shiba Yiyin's intimidation.
She had her own plan and didn't want to waste time, so she just said it.
"I am the general sent by Imperial Palace Siba. The troops you are waiting for are gathering here. I will give you three days.
I want to see the villages and fields here tomorrow, and you can go back and give me a message."
After saying that, he turned around and walked a few steps towards the forest. He squatted down and observed the footprints and wheels on the ground, then raised his head and closed his eyes to breathe in the scent of the forest.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a pair of emotionless eyes. He took off his clothes, tied them on his horse, and strode into the forest.
I thought silently in my heart.
I am the chief general of the Shiba family, and Maeda's interests are mine.
