    The Kira family's group of more than 20 riders quickly turned back and entered the Kawachi Kingdom again. This time, unlike the last time, the boat ride was not even a quick tour. Because they had to go north through the Yamato River, it was inevitable to enter the Miyoshi side.  In the territory of Wakae City, the horsemen all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Even Shima Sauchi, who had always been dull, became nervous and pulled Honda Miya to guard Kira Manshomaru.  "How can you two protect me!" Kira Mansomaru felt angry and funny. One was just ten years old and the other was only five years old. Two people were protecting him when he was nine years old?  Isn't this a joke?  "I can use my bow and arrow to defend the master!" "So can Sanya! So can Sanya!" "Asshole! Don't talk, you two! If you suddenly come out from behind and talk, you will scare people to death!" Yamaoka Zenjiro covered his chest,  Complained quietly.  Facts have proved that this was just a false alarm. The Hatakeyama family's mobilization order was not launched at all. The country of Kawachi is currently under the control of Miyoshi Nagakei's new father-in-law Yusa Chokaku. Hatakeyama Masakuni is acting as a puppet in Takaya Castle, and Yusa Chok¨­ is under  If the emperor becomes the emperor in Jiangcheng, the Miyoshi family's army gathers in Settsu Country, preparing to pull out the last nail in Settsu Country that Hosokawa Harumoto has left.  Passing through the territory of Wakae Castle, to the north is the Yodogawa River that separates Settsu and Kawachi. Enonomi Castle, where this summer's Battle of Eguchi took place, is right next to the Yodogawa River. Take a boat and go northward not far from the Yodogawa River to reach the location of Miyoshi's army, because at this time  The Miyoshi family was surrounding Itami Castle, so he didn't dare to get too close. He just stood on a nearby hillside and carefully followed the Miyoshi family's formation.  Nakajo Hidetaka frowned and said: "The fighting spirit of the Miyoshi family does not seem to be strong. What is the reason?" "Oh? You think so?" Kira Manshomaru sat in the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness. Although the sunshine in September is not as good as that in July  August is brutal, but it¡¯s still uncomfortable to stand outside in the sun for a while.  "It seemed that he was thinking about something and didn't want to attack." Shima Sauchi sat cross-legged not far away, lowering his head in thought.  "Idiot! Of course I have no intention of attacking. You see, they are not attacking the city!" "Zenjiro! You are the idiot! Go and squat aside." "Yes!" Yamaoka Zenjiro was hit by the folding fan and hid next to him.  In the shade of the tree, he looked up and saw the smiling Isshiki Shiro. He groaned angrily and turned sideways to hide in the shade of a tree further away.  "Because their soldiers seem to be very relaxed, and the little group over there is still chatting. There must be some reason for them to be so relaxed." Shima Sauchi pointed to the small group waiting for the handover in front of the camp at the foot of the mountain.  Small groups gathered together and chatted, and there was really no atmosphere of war.  "Oh? You also discovered this kind of detail! The Miyoshi family really has no plan to attack, or in other words, he doesn't want to lose his troops." Kira Mansomaru held a fan and slowly fanned it. This time, the one he took out was not the one he held out.  The famous bat fan is just an ordinary folding fan. It is not good to dress up as an ordinary person and hold something too conspicuous.  Hidetaka Nakajo said: "It is said that the lord of Itami Castle opposite Itami Shinshin has gathered a thousand defenders. If we attack by force, we must pay a heavy price." "Then if Nakajo-don leads the army, how long will it take to capture it?  "Itami Castle?" "Thisif we attack the city without considering the losses, we should fall within ten days." "How many people will be killed in battle?" "The number of casualties should be less than 1,000.  " "Sure enough, it's still too much!" Kira Manshomaru shook his head. Not only the Miyoshi family could not bear the damage, but no one could bear it. One thousand people killed in the battle meant that there must be more than one thousand disabled and sick people.  People, two thousand people have lost their fighting power this time. Looking at the military strength of the Three Goods, neither the direct lineage of the Four Kingdoms nor the newly attached people of other countries can bear such high losses. There are too many people killed.  Those who will lose trust and hope, such as Owari Sick Tiger Oda Nobuhide.  "This siege is useless. It's useless to attack without peace of mind. The Miyoshi family must have calculated that if more than 500 people were killed in the siege, it would be a loss-making business. In the end, Itami personally opened the city and surrendered, and the loss was even greater.  , so the Miyoshi family would rather spend more food and slowly defend until next year than attack the city. "According to the information collected by the Hattori family last month, since the Miyoshi family came to Luo in July, Itami Chixing of Settsu Province has secretly said.  Retainers were gathered to build fortifications, and after the autumn harvest in late August, they decisively mobilized to defend the castle. The Miyoshi family took action, and 8,000 troops led by Miyoshi Yoshihide surrounded Itami Castle. It has been under siege for more than a month.  In more than a month, there were only a few small-scale attack trials in the first ten days. Both sides were very cautious. The Miyoshi family realized that Itami was well prepared and had the support of the autumn harvest. They decisively gave up the attack and saw the departure of Autumn.  Winter is not far away. The Miyoshi family has just established Kinai hegemony and there are still many things to do, so Miyoshi Yixian will soon leave.?, hand over the command to the command of Chang Yi, who is a disciple of three good men.  This actually signals a long-term siege. A strong attack will definitely win, but it is not cost-effective to hurt the newly attached people. Moreover, Itami Chiko is obviously planning on having his own wishful thinking. Even if he cannot defeat him in the end, he can still open the city and surrender. When the time comes,  As his wife's cousin, Hosokawa Harumoto can't blame him.  Zenjiro Yamaoka stretched his head and asked strangely: "The Miyoshi family can refuse to surrender! Why don't they learn what Takeda Daisen's doctor Haru Nobuomi did in Shinano? They refused to surrender to the people of Saku County and then massacred the resisters, leaving the rest  Capture the civilians to dig gold or give them to the samurai as slaves! This way, you can get both military merit and reward. Can you make up for the losses in the siege?" Kira Mansomaru picked up the folding fan and hit him twice on the head.  The deputy boy sighed with an unteachable expression: "Idiot! This is civilized Kinai! This is not Shinano Saku from the far country in the countryside! Takeda Harunobu dared to do this in Shinano because he was not afraid of making things big, and the people of Shinano country would be disturbed.  Miyoshi Changqing would not dare to engage in such hatred. His family still wants to rule Kinei. His reputation and face are no longer needed.  Come on, you really can¡¯t compare it to the distant country." Nakajo Hidetaka also heard about what the Takeda family did in Shinano-Saku County. The tragic massacre after the Odaihara War made Takeda Harunobu bear the crime of indiscriminate killing.  At present, it is only spread in Kanto and Tokaido, which are relatively close to Koshinobu. There is no relevant statement in Kyoto for the time being. From this point of view, the Takeda family has done a good job in hiding information.  "Lord, Master! Zuouchi thinks that the Miyoshi family only needs to attack a few branch cities of Itami City, and then persuade the Itami family members to surrender, and they can achieve the goal of opening the city without blood." "Huh? Who told you these words?  Kira Mansomaru suddenly became interested and unconsciously put away the folding fan in his hand.  "This is Zuouchi's own idea. There are five branch cities near Itami City, including two branch cities and one branch city. As long as these three are captured and the other two are persuaded to surrender, Itami City has nothing to fear." "Okay!  He is indeed the samurai whom our family is optimistic about! He has a bright future!" Kira Mansomaru was very happy. Some people are born with good talents, but he can't be too proud. "It's really a good idea!  These still need to be strengthened!¡± ¡°Yes! Zuonai will always remember the teachings of the master!¡± ¡°When you return to Sakamoto, I will introduce you to my master Kansuke Yamamoto!¡±
