    Shin Saijo Castle is built with earth and stone. The high stone wall terraces and the complex Mikazuki Hori in front of the Katemon Gate are all architectural features of Kansuke Yamamoto. The Sanmaru located inside the Otemon gate has a servant house to accommodate retainers. At the same time, various buildings here  The oars were used to store grain, grass and weapons in peacetime, and they were also a key point of defense for Tibetan soldiers during wartime.  Nimaru was split into Kitamaru and Himemaru. Otemon faces the Yahagi River from the west to the east. South of Saijo Castle is Mikawa Bay, so the north side became the area most likely to face enemy attacks, so the north side of Nimaru was demolished.  The Dehoku Maru was specially built for samurai defense, and it was completely separated from the Honmaru by a river, which became one of the characteristics of the Yamamoto Castle Flow.  In contrast, Himemaru is an independent area connected to the Honmaru but not connected to the Kitamaru and Sanmaru. It is where the Kira clan settled their families, so it is better concealed. At the top of it is the Honmaru.  Complex tiger's mouths and horse exits were designed on the road leading to the Honmaru, which also maximized the military role of the new Saijo Castle. Immediately after the completion of the castle, it won unanimous praise from the Kira family, and Yamamoto Kansuke also became a member of the N¨­n¨­.  The ministers were accepted by the Kira family.  After everyone retreated, Yamamoto Kansuke said: "Using the Hattori clan as the host's auditors is indeed a good way to win over the Hattori clan, but the host seems to be particularly concerned about the Hattori clan. I still don't know after thinking hard for a long time.  "Why?" "Because he is Hattori Hanzo!" "Huh? What are you talking about, Master?" Yamamoto Kansuke asked immediately when he heard him whispering.  "Oh! This because my Kira family has always lacked the support of ninjas and lacked sufficient intelligence sources. Now that the Hattori clan, one of the three jounin of Iga, has come to surrender, we should pay more attention to it." Kira Mansomaru was in a hurry.  He came up with an excuse to put it off. The Kira family already had their own horseback clan, so it was okay to make up a new name to appease the Hattori clan.  "Speaking of which, our family does need intelligence support. According to Ishimi Mamoru, Taiyuan Xuezai will set off from Suruga at the end of this month and take up command in Okazaki Castle." Yamamoto Kansuke revealed this news.  "Zen Master Taiyuan Chongfu? Why is he here at this time? Are we going to fight the Anjo Battle again?" Kira Mansatsumaru was extremely surprised. The Anjo Battle was only completed in the early spring of this year. The Matsudaira army, as the vanguard of the Imagawa family, was under attack.  The Oda side of the castle fought back fiercely, and Honda Tadaka was killed in the battle. Matsudaira's army retreated and came to an end.  The result of this battle also involved the sudden death of Matsudaira Hirotada. The Matsudaira family, which had lost its governor, was in civil strife for nearly half a year. Even the Hattori clan, which had been loyal to the Matsudaira family for more than ten years, had to find a way out. Logically speaking, Imagawa  The family should not continue to attack the Oda side at this time, because the Matsudaira family, as the cannon fodder of the Imagawa family, has not yet recovered from the loss of the family governor. It is really not a wise move to fight Anxiang City at this time.  "Even my subordinates cannot fully understand the thoughts of Zen Master Taiyuan. This change of the Imagawa family will definitely have a negative impact on our family. I believe that the Imagawa family has made up its mind to take over Anxiang City in one go and eliminate the old enemy Zhizhi who has been entangled for many years.  The Tian family was expelled from Nishi Mikawa. " Yamamoto Kansuke's words alerted Kira Manshomaru and scared him into a cold sweat. He vaguely remembered that the Oda family seemed to have been expelled from Mikawa country in the past two years, and Matsudaira Takechiyo was exchanged.  The Imagawa family was Taiyuan Xuezai's apprentice, and Oda Nobuhide also collapsed under the huge blow and died of illness within a few years.  He didn't know what the fate of the Kira family was, but as the governor of the Kira family of Saijo who was on the anti-Imagawa side, one could imagine the situation after the Imagawa family captured Nishi Mikawa. In short, it would definitely not be too good. He had always been wishful thinking in the past.  It seemed too naive to think that the Imagawa family would care about their close friendship.  "Can't be like this! My life has just begun, am I going to be the leader of a subjugated country?" Kira Mansomaru suddenly realized that his situation was so dangerous. It seemed that his good days were about to come to an end. He looked at the man who was closing his eyes in pain.  Thinking about Kansuke Yamamoto, he settled down again. At least things weren't that bad yet, and he still had a chance.  "Teacher! Could it be that Taiyuan Xuezhai came to Okazaki Castle because the Matsudaira family was in civil strife? The Matsudaira family, as the puppet of Imagawa ruling the Mikawa Kingdom, fell into civil strife due to the sudden death of the family governor, and fell apart in less than half a year.  It¡¯s a sign that the Imagawa family will not sit back and watch the Matsudaira family collapse and Nishi Mikawa fall into chaos again.¡± ¡°Yes! The master¡¯s words have awakened me!¡± Yamamoto Kansuke, who was stuck in a logical knot, seemed to understand.  Enlightenment, his face turned livid and he said, "My lord, I finally understand what Taiyuan Xuezai is up to! He wants to attack my Kira family!" "What?" Kira Mansomaru jumped up, walked up to Yamamoto Kansuke in disbelief, and grabbed  His shoulder asked urgently: "How is this possible? I am the head of the Imagawa family! How dare they do this to me! This is impossible! I absolutely don't believe it!"   "Master, please be patient!" Kansuke Yamamoto also stared at him with a bull's eye, without any intention of comforting him: "The Matsudaira family was in civil strife, so Imagawa sent Taiyuan Yuksai to Okazaki Castle Town.  The Songping family lives in the Songping family where there are signs of civil strife. However, the Songping family suffered a disastrous defeat in the Anxiang City battle this year. Now they have no confidence to fight back immediately. If they rush to Anxiang City, they will definitely suffer a greater blow. Taiyuan Xuezhai Zen Master must also understand.  , so I found an opponent to fight a total victory. Looking at Nishi Mikawa, except for the Oda family's Anxiang Castle, only I, the Kira family, was the greatest threat. As the head of the Imagawa family, I, the Kira family, also served as the caller of the anti-Imagawa family.  The initiator, the anti-Imagawa people will collapse as long as they capture Nishi Mikawa. If we don't attack our family now, there is no better choice. "The first part was fine, but when he said the second half, it was shocking, and Kira Manshomaru's heart was broken.  It was like being poured a bucket of cold water on someone in the coldest winter. It was freezing from the inside out. Kansuke Yamamoto's analysis was much more professional than his immature ideas, but he was not in the mood to compliment right now: "How could this happen?"  On me? I would rather never hear these words! What happened to me when I didn¡¯t provoke anyone? Isn¡¯t it okay to just be a stable little lord?  Matsumaru held his head and thought for a long time but could not come up with a solution. He said with a depressed look: "There is indeed no better choice, but don't we have other ways to avoid it?" "If I remember correctly, Taiyuan Xuezhai  The Zen master should have revived the Miso Ankoku Zen Temple eight years ago!" Yamamoto Kansuke suddenly asked an unexpected question. Kira Manshomaru looked at him blankly and didn't know what he meant, so he relayed what his father had told him back then.  The history is recited: "The original name of Minxiang Anguo Zen Temple is Minxiang Temple. It is the Bodhi Temple of the ancestor of the family, the Manchu clan. It is also a branch temple of the Rinzai Sect's Miaoshinji sect. It was a famous temple in Mikawa Kingdom a hundred years ago and was very popular. Later, because of Onin's  It was destroyed by war. A few years ago, my father strongly supported the revival of Bodhi Temple. He invited Zen Master Taiyuan Xuezhai, who had just left the Buddhist temple, to revive it as Mingxiang Anguo Zen Temple. The current resident is Zen Master Taiyuan¡¯s younger brother, the eminent monk Nishiyama Sonobu from Miaoshin Temple in Kyoto.  Master, what do you mean, Master Taiyuan? "" Zen Master Taiyuan Xuezhai is an eminent monk of the Miaoshin Temple. I wonder if the master of the hall has ever seen Taiyuan Xuezhai. Unfortunately, I was still wandering in Suruga Country at that time.  Participate in it, but I heard from several His Highnesses that Taiyuan Zen Master likes His Highness very much and even gave the owner a few books. With Taiyuan Xue Zhai as a person, he will definitely be polite before fighting!" Yamamoto Kansuke said after considering it.  "Be polite first, then fight What else can I say? I'll think about it carefully." Kira Mansomaru smiled bitterly, seeming to vaguely remember that when he was still very young, a great monk from Kyoto saw him, and it seemed that he was  There was some connection with his mother's family, and he couldn't remember many of the words he said, but he did give him a few books.
