In Tsutsui Castle, the messengers from Matsukura Shigenobu and Shiga Ichinun arrived almost at the same time.
Tsutsui Junkei wore a plain headband and was dressed as a nun.
She first read Toga Icun's letter and handed it to Matsukura Shigenobu calmly.
"Do you think Shihe Yicun's battle report is credible?"
Matsukura Shigenobu took the letter, glanced at it and said after reading it.
"It should be true. People in Hanoi have long been dissatisfied with Hatakeyama's high government, and it was only through Yusa Chojiao's efforts to suppress it that we have been able to survive to this day.
As long as Yusa Chojiao dies, no matter who is responsible, Hatakeyama Takamasa will no longer be able to suppress the Kawachi Kingdom.
The story about Izumi should also be true. Everyone knows that he was hired by the Miyoshi family. Now I can’t figure it out, but it turned out that he went to sneak attack the Hosokawa family along the Izumi Mountains."
Tsutsui Junkei nodded. The analysis of her top general gave her an estimate of the battlefield situation.
"Then do you think Shiga Icun's words are a bluff, or do you really want to have a battle with Shiba Yoshigan?"
Matsukura Shigenobu said.
"I think it's true. Miyoshi Yoshihiro died, and Miyoshi Changqing only had this one daughter.
Shihe Yicun could not explain to her no matter what, the only thing he could do was to kill Shiba Yiyin.
After the betrayal of Zaga Zhong, Juga Yisun was no longer able to maintain the logistics line from Kii Country to Yamato.
If she doesn't want her entire army to be wiped out, she must choose to retreat."
Tsutsui Junkei stood up, looked at Matsukura Shigenobu and said.
"So you can trust her words?"
Matsukura Shigenobu hesitated for a moment before answering.
"can believe.
But Your Highness, the Dharma Master has already made a clear decree and designated Sanhao Changqing as the enemy of the Buddha, so there is no way we can do anything else."
Tsutsui Shunkei looked at her and spoke word by word.
"Who said I would join forces with Shihe Yicun.
When Shihe Yicun invaded Yamato, Shiba Yiyin was no different.
They beat theirs, and I beat mine."
Matsukura Shigenobu said with a frown.
"But the Dharma Master has issued a decree to let the nuns and warriors fully support Sibo Yiyin."
Tsutsui Junkei sneered.
"Yamato is the Yamato of our nuns and warriors.
The Buddhist master was confused and gave Koriyama Castle to Shiba Yiyin, which gave him the traditional samurai territory of 100,000 koku in the north.
That's one hundred thousand dan. With the Yamato family in the north, no one in the nun family has ever benefited from them.
Now the Dharma Master’s light words will cause us and other nuns and the Wu family to lose one hundred thousand dan, do you think they will pretend to be confused?”
Matsukura Shigenobu nodded and said again.
"The enemy of Buddha?"
Tsutsui Junkei laughed.
"If the Dharma Master hadn't pointed out Sanhao Changqing as an enemy of Buddha, I wouldn't have dared to openly oppose her.
She is transgressing!
Does the master of Mount Koya know? Does the master of Ishiyama Honganji Temple agree? Does the master of Wakayama agree? Does the master of Mount Hiei agree?
Without the permission of these masters, she dared to refer to Buddha's enemies privately. This would mean she would die without a burial place!
Ignore this kind of pretentious edict, someone will take care of her."
Matsukura Shigenobu was still worried.
"But the lower-level believers don't understand this, and they will definitely take the matter of Buddha's enemies seriously."
Tsutsui Junkei glanced at him and said coldly.
"I won't join forces with my enemies. They'll beat them. When they get anxious, I'll go in behind my back and start a fight with Sibo Yiyin.
The believers are stupid, and we are doing this for their own good.
Yoshihide Shiba intends to convert the shogunate into Yamato, which will destroy the Buddhist kingdom on earth. As a devout believer, Tsutsui Junkei, of course, must take action to stop it.
Do you think this is true?"
Matsukura Shigenobu was speechless. It was too shameless to do this, but it was indeed impeccable.
The shogunate's army was in decline on the main battlefield, and the outcome for the Dharma Master was not good either.
As long as the Tsutsui family can survive this rebellion against the law, then the century-old ambition of the Tsutsui family will be realized.
The Yamato Kingdom will be dominated by the Tsutsui family.
Even if Koyasan sends another leader, the Tsutsui family has become deeply entrenched and cannot be shaken.
Since the rise of Kofukuji Temple, the four nibei families, the Tsutsui family, the Ochi family, the Kaio family, and the Juichi family, finally decided the master of Yamato a hundred years later.
Spo Allied Forces Camp.
Now that we have decided to hold on and kill the enemy, the army begins to mobilize.
The area around Tsutsui Castle is a low-lying plain with almost no hills, canyons or other terrain conducive to defense.
Then we can only rely on the army to make earthen forts, block horses, wooden fences, dig trenches, and create artificial obstacles.
Tsutsui Castle is located to the east of Toyokawa. Because of the reverse L-shaped flow of Toyokawa, the Ten Rivers Army is in the southwest of the Spa Allied Forces and can kill them without crossing the river.
Shiba Yoshigan was in charge of the shogunate, and his subordinates, the Senki warriors, stood beside him.
he said.
"Shihe Yicun should have received Miyoshi Yoshihiro's head. As expected, she will attack tomorrow."
After learning about the betrayal of the Zahezhong, Shihe Icun's strategy for Yamato had already failed.
The question now is how she chooses, to retreat directly or to kill Yiyin and then retreat.
Miyoshi Yoshihiro's death was too miserable. If Shihe Icun hadn't killed Shiba Yoshihiro, he would not have had the face to meet Miyoshi Yoshihiro when he returned.
They have a deep love for each other as sisters, and Shihe Yisun will definitely kill them, and for her who is short of military rations, the earlier the better, the better.
Nizi Shengjiu said.
"In this battle, our army only needs to guard and defend to the death to win. We also hope that the imperial army will be more conservative."
Nizi Shengjiu was really scared. His general was always making mistakes every time he fought.
It's obvious that Shihe Yicun can't afford to hold him back this time, so just hold on to our formation and don't cause any more trouble.
Yiyin nodded.
He didn't want to take risks. Before, he had no choice. People who were poor and weak had no choice but to take risks.
Now that the morale of the military is stable and the soldiers are serving their lives, why should he try any more tricks?
The most important thing is that the fighting power of the people of the country is indeed no better than the elites of Shihe Yicun. If they go out and get beaten up, it is better to defend well.
He glanced at the scene and said.
"Ji Ji, I like war. I like it very much. I like it very much.
I like to let my sword speak.
I like to charge on horseback.
I like crushing enemies and watching their expressions of fear and powerlessness.
I like to be rewarded by the public, and everything speaks for itself through military exploits.
War destroys everything, war gives us everything!
As long as there is still war, our Wu family will have a way out.
Come and embrace war with me!
The money, food, knowledge, status, and glory you want are all there, waiting for you to get them!"
Yiyin's words made the ladies present excited and spoke to their hearts.
In the final analysis, the martial arts society relies on military exploits to open the path to advancement.
Without war, there is no service to the public; without service to the government, there is no reward; without reward, there is nothing.
The third minister from Baidi came out, knelt down, kowtowed, and asked.
"May I ask, Your Highness, can war absolve me of the crime of disobedience to the Third Taifu of Baidi?"
What she fears most is that after this battle, Yi Yinqiu will settle the score. After all, she rebelled in public and has no way of denying it.
Yiyin looked at her and said seriously.
"As long as you fight bravely, I will forgive your sins. If you have other military achievements, I will not forget the reward from your Baidi family."
The third husband of Baidi kowtowed in gratitude and returned to the parade, and Suzuki Shigehide came out and knelt again.
Yiyin looked at her and said.
"The same goes for you. As long as you have merit in fighting, what is yours is yours."
Yiyin looked around at the Ji warriors and said.
"Since I joined the army, I have only done three things. Fairness, fairness, what the hell, fairness.
I know what you are worried about. The Sibo family is not one of those decadent old aristocrats, and there are not that many retainers who need to be accommodated.
I swear on the name of the ancestors of Sibo that those who serve under my command will be rewarded fairly!"
