Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On March 23, dozens of samurai wearing hats were trekking on a mountain road somewhere in Shinano Kozun County. Thick mist floated on the distant mountain tops. It was Shinano¡¯s famous weather phenomenon.  "Inverse fog" is a unique climate feature within Shinano and even the entire world.  Ordinary fog is valley fog rising from the mountainside. The temperature inversion phenomenon caused by the convection between the cold air on the mountain and the hot air on the lower mountain. The warm moisture in the air condenses into fine water droplets suspended in the air when it is cold.  , and then gradually cover the entire mountain peak.  The reverse fog is the thick fog formed on the mountain ridge. There are layers of downward eyes along the ridge slope of the mountain ridge. From a distance, it looks like a white wave hanging straight down from the sky. Nearly half of the mountain below is covered with rich fog.  The fog covers it and forms a natural protective shield. This is where Toishi Castle and Toishi Castle are located.  This team stopped and walked, crossing one mountain ridge after another. It was getting farther and farther away from Xiaoxian County and the mist-shrouded mountain peak was gradually lost in sight. It was already getting late, and dozens of people in the group complained outside a village.  in a small temple.  Soaking stiff rice balls in boiling hot pumpkin soup and eating them warm has become a popular way of eating in the past two years. High-quality Echigo pumpkins are privately sold to the Takeda family through Hokushinano, and the price is only half of the same weight of rice.  It tastes extremely sweet.  People have gradually accepted the food culture radiation from Echigo. For example, dozens of samurai in this line wear fur coats. The popular clothing styles of Echigo always flow into Shinano as quickly as possible, and there is really no better way to keep warm in winter than fur coats.  Better choice.  The fatigue from walking for a day gradually dissipated, and the warriors went to bed early. Only two middle-aged warriors sat in front of the fire pit in a daze.  "Did you hear this, brother? The travelers on the road are all discussing the news from Echigo. The assassination attempt of Isemori Izuru, who revealed the truth, failed. There is also the return of Nagao Kagetora. The news of the pacification of the civil strife." The strong man  The middle-aged man said angrily: "We didn't know anything about it! I don't know what the hall is thinking!" Another middle-aged man with a long beard smiled bitterly: "I have expected all this  "The stalwart middle-aged man asked: "What did brother expect?" "The changes in the ninjas are not new. More than half a month ago, Echigo suddenly put down the riots in the Echu Ichikai clan, and Kasuga  Kosaka Masanobu's activity speaks volumes!" The bearded middle-aged man said with a bitter smile: "Have I, Yukitaka, reached this level now?" Yazawa Yorizuna quickly advised: "Brother, don't say that!  Come on, without your hard work, the Takeda family would never have conquered half of Shinano! My Sanada family is the number one samurai family in Shinano!" "Haha! My lord, I don't think so. Nori Tsuna didn't find out about my family.  Is your status getting worse?" Yukitaka Sanada smiled helplessly, but he couldn't hide the bitterness on his lips.  "Are you still resenting the reason for that defeat?" Yazawa Norizuna said angrily: "But that's not my brother's fault! Tohru didn't notice Kira Chibe's abnormal behavior. As a result, we suffered a tragic defeat" "The family tree of the retainers group"  The Daisuku elders don't think so, and the members of the lord's family don't think so. Maybe the lord is also doubting me, Yukitaka?" Sanada Yukitaka's smile lacked the freedom and confidence of the past, and showed a lot of pain and helplessness.  Since the defeat in the Battle of Kawanakajima two years ago, the development momentum of the Takeda family has begun to decline, and the Sanada family has also been unstoppable from victory to decline. The scene of the Shinano people surrounding the Sanada family has disappeared in a hurry. From Echigo  The pressure forced him to brace himself and deal with it carefully every day. Compared with the glorious days a few years ago, his life was getting more and more difficult now.  Soon after the battle ended.  At the post-war evaluation meeting at Tsuzakikan, Takeda Harunobu withstood the wrath of his retainers because of the defeat.  He chose to give up on pursuing the responsibility for the Sanada family's failure, but the indifference of his colleagues and the loss of Takeda Harunobu's trust were inevitable.  "I still didn't seize the opportunity! If only the preparations for last year's night attack were more thorough, and the intelligence obtained was more sufficient, everything would be better!" Sanada Yukitaka is still disappointed with the failure of last year's surprise attack on Susuki Castle, and this huge defeat.  With the last hope of counterattack, Takeda Nobushige returned to Kai in disappointment. As a result, the status of the Sanada family plummeted. Not only did they lose the independent privileges of taxation and military service promised by Takeda Harunobu, they also faced a lot of criticism from colleagues and Shinano.  Yazawa Yorizuna comforted him: "However, the plan of the main hall failed this time!" "I already knew it would fail." "What? My brother already knew it?" Sanada Yukitaka said slowly: "My lord is good at it.  The adjustment was correct, but the means of adjustment were somewhat inferior to the original family. Echigo is now being managed like an iron bucket by the Kira family. He has been resting and recuperating for nearly two years without any action. His patienceFar more than the lord, from this point alone we can know that this operation will definitely fail.  "    "yes!  My lord was still sending troops to the field last year. He went to Nishi Ueno to fight a battle without losing money or making a profit. He also snatched a few supplies from the farmers in the castle towns and villages, so he could barely make a profit!  "Yazawa Yoritsuna said with a sarcastic face. "This battle has nothing to do with the Sanada family. Their family is defined as the "national flag leader of Xiaozhen County", which means that he will stay in Sanada Township and not go anywhere.  , while nailing the direction of the attack in the direction of Echigo, he also nailed himself to this piece of land, unable to move. As a result, the invasion of Ueno took a long time to win, considering the personnel lost and the pressure of food and grass supplies along the way.  He also suffered a lot of losses and arbitrarily plundered the last rations from the townspeople and farmers of Ueno. This time, he not only formed a deadly feud with the people of Nishi Ueno, but also forced the farmers to hate the Takeda Army even more. I am afraid that the next invasion will  It was even more difficult. Listening to his brother¡¯s complaints, Sanada Yukitaka smiled slightly and said: ¡°Contacting Echichu and attacking Echigo with an army was always a clever move, but now it was used at the most inappropriate time, and Echigo¡¯s army did not move at all.  There are no flaws, and the foundation is extremely stable after two years of training. How can one assassination or one blow shake it?  Unless you are lucky enough to kill Kira Yoshitoki or Nagao Kagetora, but in this case the other person will definitely become angry, which is still detrimental to my Takeda family!  " "Unless you kill Nagao Kagetora and Kira Yoshitoki in one go.  Then Yiyi Kui happened to break through Kasugayama Castle.  I brought all the retainers of Kira and Nagao together" At this time, the night was getting darker. The small temple seemed particularly quiet. Yazawa Yorizuna carefully looked at the sleepy warriors in the distance before continuing to mock: "It's just this  is it possible?  That's probably what Kasuga Torasuna, the pet companion of the main hall, thinks so, right?  What a person with only a butt and no brain!  " "He is now called Kosaka Tansho Tadashi Masanobu, the son-in-law and adopted son of Kosaka Chikuzen Shoushige.  "    "Yeah!  It¡¯s this Kosaka Danzheng Masanobu!  Yazawa Norizuna smiled contemptuously and said, "Speaking of which, his official name is the same as his brother!"  Last year, his old father-in-law, Kosaka Chikuzen Morishige, was forced to live in seclusion in order to make room for him. At the beginning of this year, because his promotion rate was not fast enough, he went to the main hall to report his father-in-law, the Utsuchi Kira family. In the end, his father-in-law was executed.  The Kosaka clan fell into his hands" Sanada Yukitaka frowned when he heard this and scolded: "Where did you hear all this?  Stop listening to such baseless rumors!  Do you know that talking nonsense can kill people?  " "I heard it from a friend in Saku County" Yukitaka Sanada felt that there must be something wrong with this. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "No matter who you heard it from, don't listen to such gossip in the future.  , let alone go around and say that now Kosaka Danzheng is a popular person in front of the main hall, the person who has been promoted the fastest among the ministers, and our status is not as good as before, so we must be careful in everything!  "    "yes!  yes!  "Yasawa Yoritsuna's face turned blue with fright, and he nodded calmly. The two of them were silent for a long time without speaking. After a while, the flames in the fire pit gradually became smaller. Sanada Yukitaka picked up a few pieces of firewood and threw them into the fire pit. He picked up a branch and threw it into the fire pit.  Flicking at the charcoal fire casually, he suddenly turned around and asked: "Your friend from Saku County, isn't it Okuma Bizen Mamoru or Shiroori Fuyu?  " Yazawa Norizuna was stunned for a moment and asked strangely: "Huh?  How did your brother know?  " "Of course I know, and I also know that the two of them are most likely to be sent by Echigo to die.  "Sanada Yukitaka warned: "Don't interact with them in the future, be careful to get something you shouldn't touch!  "    "What?  Brother, do you mean they have a problem?  "Yazawa Yoritsuna was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He knew very well that his brother didn't like to joke and rarely said anything wrong. He hurriedly suggested: "Then let's report it to the main hall immediately!  " Yukitaka Sanada smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Didn't you just talk about how the main hall treats my family? With the current situation of our family, we can't protect ourselves. How do you think the main hall's character will treat our report?  " "Brother, what you mean iswon't the main hall believe us?  "    "Roughly the same!  You may not believe it, or you may doubt my family¡¯s intentions. As my lord, have you never doubted the intentions of these two Echigo traitors?  Of course we have to doubt it, but I don¡¯t need to wait for the retainers to express this doubt. If everyone doubts them both, then they will be safer.  The two traitorous Echigo samurai who cannot be trusted cannot cause trouble at all. No matter whether they die or not, they can only cling to the authority of their lord. If they always try their best to be loyal and make more achievements, they will naturally be promoted and reused.  , if it is found that they are dead, how difficult is it to execute them?  "Sanada Yukitaka is very familiar with Takeda Harunobu's character. Now he has been able to figure out most of his protagonist's character and way of doing things. He is careful to keep everything for future generations.?It was his habit to counterattack.  To Takeda Harunobu, Echigo's two deaths were not a problem at all. He was just an ant that could be crushed to death if he wanted to. What really gave him a headache was the senior members of Kai's clan and the Hodai clan. These people were all  Representatives with senior qualifications, strong abilities, wide connections, and high status, and they are also relatives who stick together with each other. If they touch each other, they will explode.  Sometimes a word from these 1st sects and generations is more effective than that of his real-name family governor. The authority of the family governor has always been severely suppressed by these 1st sects and generations. That's why Takeda Harunobu couldn't wait to promote Yukichen Kosaka Masanobu.  , Naito Masayoshi, Baba Nobuharu and others.  Back then, his father, Takeda Nobutora, was such a powerful figure. He was kicked out of Kai by the sect and members of the group because of his murder of Shodai, and was exiled to Suruga to retire. Now he is also facing this problem. The domineering Nobu Itagaki has just died.  Three years ago, Takeda Harunobu took action against his legitimate son Itagaki Nobunori. As a result, he was immediately boycotted by the clan and the clan.  In the end, he succeeded in killing Nobunori Itagaki, but that time he still severely offended the clan and clan members. Since then, he has never been able to act smoothly as a family governor. Two years ago, he was almost killed in a big defeat in Kawanakajima.  The generations of the first school and the school pushed it on Kasuga Torasuna, Baba Nobuharu, and Naito Masayo, who were promoted and promoted by Takeda Harunobu, forcing him to make a compromise and promised to satisfy the first school and the school with more occupations and additional titles of knowledge and practice.  generation¡¯s appetite.  Yukitaka Sanada, who was well aware of the inside story, repeatedly warned: "My lord is still having a headache over the conflicts between generations. Promoting and re-employing those people at this time is a signal. In the future, you must remember not to mention bad things about them in front of outsiders. Do you understand?"  " "Understood! Please rest assured, brother!" Yazawa Norizuna hesitated and said, "Echigo sent so many people to persuade my brother to join the Kira family. Isn't it possible that he was not tempted by his ability?  Can we win half of Shinano for the Kira family? Can¡¯t the status of my Sanada family be still protected? " "You don't understand!" Sanada Yukitaka shook his head and sighed: "I can't move now and I don't dare to move.  Po has been monitoring the actions of our family. Once Echigo surrenders, regardless of the safety of our family and the Sanada family, even Taro, Jiro, and Goro who are far away in Kai will die" "Is it just because of this?" "Of course not,  My family has made some achievements as an official in the Takeda family and has been rewarded by my lord, but how should I repay my kindness? If my family betrays the Takeda family, how will the world view my Sanada family? Although I, Yukitaka, have led countless samurai to betray me,  I'm not a ungrateful person, so why should I just send a few envoys from the Wuwei Palace to control my family? It's absolutely impossible!" Sanada Yukitaka's tone was very firm, which reminded Yazawa Yorizuna of the time when he gave up the Yui Yanjin family's emblem.  , the allusion of replacing six consecutive coins.  "Rokuren-moi means six-way money. It is the ferry fee for crossing the Sanzu River. It symbolizes that the samurai of the Sanada family have the consciousness to fight to the death!" Many years ago, the very young Yukitaka Sanada said before bidding farewell to Yazawa Yoritsuna and fleeing to Ueno.  A passage from the past came to mind again.  "A samurai family who is unjust for profit will be ridiculed, especially the samurai who once said that he hates Katsuki and betrayers the most" Yazawa Yoritsuna slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "Oh! I finally figured it out! No wonder Kira  The family's envoys are all unknown samurai. Is it to test the family's willpower?" "Do you understand?" Sanada Yukitaka shook his head and smiled: "That Wuweidian is probably not in a hurry to deal with Shinano?  If this family is really stupid and jumps out to rebel, they will have to face the attack of the angry Takeda army. At that time, they will lose the territory of Sanada Township, and then lose Taro, Jiro, and Goro. They will just flee to Echigo to survive. The family  , territory, and family name are lost, what¡¯s the point of this life!¡± Yazawa Yorizuna sighed in agreement: ¡°Yes! Our Sanada family can¡¯t do this kind of thing!¡± ¡°My lord must still be planning the next strategy.  I have to make preparations and go back and write a strategy to give to my lord, maybe it can earn a good impression for my Sanada family Go to bed early! I have to go on the road tomorrow!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better.  Update faster!
