Iikawa Mitsumato was loyal to Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna and could not see his master showing his ugly face again and again, so he simply went out and said it.
"In the Imperial Palace, it's getting late.
The cavalry fought fiercely for a long time, and their physical strength and horsepower were greatly depleted. It would be better to return to Gaogang City as soon as possible and interrogate this living person again."
Pu Shengshixiang also nodded and said.
"Odaisho, Iikawa-sama is right. If you are injured, you should go back to see a doctor early."
Yiyin glanced at the unconscious person on the ground. She was a nun. Her robe was torn apart in the rout, but her clothes revealed some identity.
Chang Lianlong is a man with a sharp mind and sharp eyes, and he can catch people alive very well.
But Mitsumato Iikawa was right. It was getting late, and the enemy's information was unclear. It was not suitable for the cavalry to spend the night outside. It would be safer to return to the city early.
"Go back to the city, we'll talk about everything later."
"Hi!"
———
Before sunset, the cavalry returned to Takaoka Castle, and a group of Ji warriors went back to freshen up before visiting the imperial palace.
Yiyin was waiting for the doctor in the residence hall, and came to report that someone from Wufu Mountain came to request an audience with the imperial office.
He raised his eyebrows and said.
"Bring people here."
To the south of central China, the mountains of the Hida Highlands and Kureha Hills serve as barriers, and Mount Gofuku is just behind the Kureha Hills.
There is no news about Zengshan Castle on the east bank of Shochuan River, which is located on the mountain. Hinomiya Castle, which continues along the mountain to the northeast, is missing. Mount Wufu is already the last support in the central part.
If something happens to Wufu Mountain again, the entire southern mountain range will be lost.
The Xiang Zong army on the southern front successfully detoured and was able to sweep across the entire central region from south to north, and Yiyin also became the turtle in the urn on the front line.
Yiyin only hoped that the visitor did not come to inform him that Wufu Mountain was also lost. If that was the case, he would have no choice but to retreat and make plans again.
After a while, a warrior Ji came with the Hamo clan and kowtowed to the ground.
"Hasaka Nagami has seen Odaisho."
Yiyin nodded and half leaned on the pillow. He was shot again while riding a horse. He was really tired. He managed to cheer up and asked.
"Are you from Wufu Mountain?"
Haosaka Nagami bowed.
"Yes, Imperial Palace.
A few days ago, His Highness Uesugi ordered His Highness Yamamotoji Shouchi to station in Hinomiya Castle and Lord Kawada Nagauchi to station in Gofukuyama, and I will serve His Highness Kawada Nagauchi."
"Your accent sounds like you're not from Guandong?"
"Hi! I am the retainer that His Highness Uesugi accepted when he passed by Omi when he went to Luo."
Yiyin looked at her and smiled.
Uesugi Teruhora, the rich second generation, had no shortage of money, food and land, but lacked reliable retainers. Except for the Nagao clan and the side of the Hata clan, the virtues of the Echigo samurai family were really nothing to say.
But even Nagao and Hatamoto, who are relatively loyal, can't say anything. Uesugi Teruhu has been trying to find ways to add fresh blood to enrich the tribe.
The several Omi samurai we recruited when we were in Kamikawa had no connection with the Echigo samurai. They had been training with the Kirinhata clan for a year, and it was understandable that they were now being sent out to do things.
But it's a bit tricky to send people to protect Sibo Yiyin. After all, these people are not elites from the direct lineage, so they can't be used with confidence as the old ones.
Could it be that Yiyin is no longer her sweetheart? Yiyin said that this is impossible, there must be other reasons.
he asked.
"Is there any trouble over there, His Highness Uesugi?"
Nagami Ozaka was stunned for a moment. She knew about the Matsukura Kanayama incident, but it was really inconvenient to talk about it. She was a foreign minister of the Omi clan, so these matters were kept taboo, so she could only talk about them in a vague way.
"His Majesty Uesugi is willing to give me the opportunity to serve the imperial office. I am very grateful."
Yiyin understood, something really happened.
As early as when Yamamotoji Takanoga came, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that something really happened, probably for Shinkawa County.
The land allocation in Shinkawa County was guarantored by Shiba Yiyin, and the Uesugi Jinho family negotiated among themselves. If someone overstepped the boundaries, not only would the Uesugi Jinbo family be embarrassed, but the guarantor Yoshihiro would also be embarrassed.
But the truth is the truth. How courageous are the bastards under Teru Uesugi? He has been in Echigo for more than a year, so he has gained a lot of experience.
Terutora Uesugi would send peripheral samurai such as Yamamotoji Sadicho and Kawada Nagaki to protect her. At this time, she would mostly be wiping her buttocks from behind.
She probably didn't expect that Xiang Zonghui would be so frantic and would strike first.
Yoshigan asked her to send troops to prevent the Shinto Nagashi from taking the opportunity to provoke the Echichu Ichikai clan and drag the Echigo army into the quagmire.
But who would have thought that Sibo Yiyin threw himself into a trap, but Yue Zhong Yixiang Zong was not careful about it, and took risks to play a big game.
Now you no longer have to worry about disputes. Unless Yiyin breaks the bones of Yuezhong Yixiang Zong, the matter will never end!
She didn’t know how she felt about the long post of Shenbo. If Shenbao lost all her old collars, she would want to cry, right? This matter was beyond her imagination, and it was already related to the survival of the Shenbao family.
Yiyin sighed and asked.
"What happened in Wufu Mountain, I need you to report it.
Yamamotoji Sadangchou has already lost Hinomiya Castle, don’t tell me that Wufukuyama has also been lost, and the Ichigo clan has reached the shore of the Jintsu River."
Haosaka Nagami shook his head and said firmly.
"Kawada Nagauchi-sama sent me here to explain to the Imperial Palace that she has sent troops to raid Hinomiya Castle."
"oh?"
Yoshigami cheered up, looked at Hazosaka Nagami, and said.
"Is her military strong enough to fight back?"
"Kawada Nagauchi-sama persuaded Yamamotoji Shouchi-sama to unite the troops and return to fight again.
Lord Yamamotoji Shouchang also sent his second daughter Katsunaga to Toyama Castle to report the military situation to His Highness Uesugi."
Yiyin snorted, Kawada Changqin was deliberately snitching, but he did a good job!
This bastard, Yamamotoji Shocho, is really both upright and upright. While running very fast, he sent his eldest daughter and second daughter to inform Yoshigan and Uesugi Terutora respectively.
She originally went deep alone, and it was a sound strategy to retreat and wait and see if something unexpected happened. She also sent her eldest daughter and second daughter to the two masters, so that the heir would not take risks in the army.
Although these actions are unsatisfactory, it is difficult to define guilt.
No wonder the old guardians of Echigo are all dead, but the Yamamotoji family is still alive and kicking, playing the tricks of the Three Cunning Rabbits with great proficiency!
Yiyin sneered.
"Instead of talking about her, tell me what Kawada Changqin is going to do? Why did he send you to Takaoka Castle?"
Haosaka Nagashi said solemnly.
"Kawada Nagauchi-sama said that Ichigo-sou successfully captured Hinamiya Castle in a surprise attack and would never have thought that our troops would return. At this time, sending troops to counterattack would catch them off guard.
We don’t seek to capture Sun Palace City, but we want to intimidate the thieves and nuns of the Yixiang Sect so that they don’t dare to act rashly to buy time for the imperial office.”
Yiyin patted the case and said.
"well said!"
Let’s talk about Nagamine Osaka.
"Kawada Nagauchi-sama sent me to report the movements of our army, along with ten elite Hime warriors from the army. She ordered us to follow the Godai command and swear to protect the safety of the Godai command to the death.
He also said that this raid will capture a few people alive and find out what the purpose of the Yi Xiang Zong is and how many troops are coming."
