The weather in July changes all the time. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining brightly. Then, just after dinner, the situation suddenly changed. Within half an hour, the sky turned pitch black. Suddenly, blue and white lightning pierced the sky. There was a loud rumbling sound, and soon heavy rain poured down, extinguishing all the bonfires in the camp. Kira Yoshishi leaned against the door and stared at the dark sky in a daze. After a long time, he murmured to himself: "It's raining again. This annoying rainy season is really annoying I can only endure it for a while. If you don¡¯t believe me, you old fox will just accept the status quo and won¡¯t change your tactics! Let¡¯s see who is more patient. As long as you dare to change your tactics, I will have a way to deal with you!¡± On the other side, the Takeda family has the same plan, Takeda Harunobu. Staring at the pouring rain outside the camp in silence, Takeda Xinren walked to the door waving the folding fan: "Oh! It's raining again. It's been such a boring life. Apart from guarding the camp all day long, I was bored and dazed. If I had known I would have I called the saraku musician from the mansion. It¡¯s great that my brother accepted the saraku musician Ozo Taifu Jujuro Nobuan. It¡¯s also good to ask him to perform some saraku music to relieve his boredom.¡± Takeda Harunobu frowned slightly: ¡°Don¡¯t forget, Sonoku! There is a ban on banquets, women, and singing and dancing in the military!" "Hey! I just said it, just a word!" Takeda Xinren bowed to his brother and walked to the couch to sit down. After a while he started to sigh again. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Fortunately, the terrain of the camp was relatively high. The accumulated water flowed along the slope and gathered into the earthen bank around the camp, and then merged into the Chikuma River not far down the mountain. Takeda Harunobu thought for a long time before comforting himself: "It's hard." It is difficult to defeat the Kira family in a serious battle. In this case, it is better to continue the confrontation like this. As long as our family defends Hachimanhara, we can effectively curb the Kira family's advance. It will definitely be beneficial to the Takeda family. We are not the enemies of the Takeda family!" During the long confrontation, even worse news came to Echigo, and news from the Dewa Mogami family came to Echigo. Mogami Yoshimori decided to send several national troops from the Mogami Hachihara to form four thousand troops. The army joined forces with the Daihoji family and formed a 5,000-strong coalition to go to Echigo Iwafune County. This time the Mogami family was still cunning and did not send troops. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of Mogami Hachio, Mogami Yoshimori promised not to take any of the proceeds from this battle. One day later, Ashina Mori, who had been waiting for a long time, also joined forces with the Date family's three thousand troops. An army of six thousand was formed and announced for battle. The chief general of the Date family was Date Mimoto, who was almost the adopted son of Uesugi Sadamito, Tokimunemaru. The deputy general, Nogomoto, was Date Terumune who served for one year. In the large room of Kasugayama Castle, the remaining Houdai retainers urgently discussed countermeasures, and soon made a decision. The defense task of China and Vietnam was handed over to Honjo Minano, the chief clan leader of the Shodai clan, and Nagao Masaki, the elder of the first clan. They will immediately return to this city to organize forces to resist the invasion. In Urahara County, Tochio Castle, Sanjo Castle, and Itajo Castle are the enemy invasion targets in the Aizu direction. In particular, Tochio Castle is particularly important as an important relay point connecting Joetsu and Shimotsu. More than ten years ago, Nagao Kagetora was sent to Tochio Castle to subdue the Chinese and Vietnamese. Resist the attack of the Xia Yueyang Beizhong. Honjo Sano's level of military strategy is quite high. In his early years, he taught Nagao Kagetora's military strategy and became the Dragon of Echigo today. In recent years, under the influence of the Kira family members, he has made great achievements in domestic affairs. He is a good at accepting things. He is an open-minded person in new things, and he is also relatively balanced in both military and political affairs. With him in charge of Tochio Castle in his own territory, he can maximize his own advantages. For the first time, Honjo Seishichiro Hidetsuna assists his father as a deputy general. The people of Shimongotsu immediately spontaneously organized themselves into a defensive posture. The defense task of Shimongotsu was handed over to two veterans, Nakajo Fujiji and Irobe Katsunaga. They were both older and were left in Echigo to take charge of the defense. The two veterans had early They were well prepared and shouldered the burden of defending the Mogami family's attack immediately. Only Nagao Kagenobu and Nagao Fujikage were left in the entire Kasugayama Castle. Two days later in Kasugayama Castle, Nagao Torahime dressed in military uniform appeared in Ohiro. The retainers who stayed in the city all opened their mouths in surprise. Nagao Kagenobu and Nagao Fujikage looked at each other, and read the surprise and joy in each other's eyes. Puzzled, she hurriedly asked: "What is the purpose of wearing armor in the front hall of the tiger?" As Kira Yoshitoki's wife, she has the right to make decisions on Echigo matters, provided that she must obtain the general support of the retainers. She was going to do something important today. The girl dressed in military uniform saw the stunned expressions of the retainers. She walked to the bed (shaped like a horse) and sat down with a golden sword. She opened her mouth and startled everyone. "I'm going to fight against the invading bandits in China and Vietnam! Please support my decision!" "Nonsense! What kind of bandits are the girls asking for? If this word gets out, my son, the son of the Nagao family, will be embarrassed. "It's gone!" Nagao Kagenobu roared angrily with a livid face. As soon as he said the words, he realized that his tone was wrong, and quickly made up for it: "No matter what, you must not go out in front of the tiger. Please be patient."Stay in the city, war is our men's business, no matter how big the crisis is, leave it to us! " "Uncle, Hu Ji doesn't like to hear this! Hu Ji said disapprovingly: "In ancient times, there were Ba Yuqian and Ban'e Yuqian. Why can't I do it?" Don¡¯t forget the joint battle against Daxiong Chaoxiu a few years ago! " "That is also the credit of Yamamoto Sado and Saito Shimono! "Nagao Fujikage muttered something in his heart, and then persuaded with a grimace: "In the past, when we were fighting against Daxiong Chaoxiu's rebellion, it was okay for Yunying to be unmarried in front of the tiger emperor. However, things are different now. Princess Tiger Princess is now the king. The royal wife of the palace, the woman of the Ashikaga family, the princess, I cannot bear the responsibility of going into battle! " The implication of Nagao Fujikage is that you were the princess of the Nagao family at that time. It's okay to say that now you are no longer the princess of the Nagao family, but the "Tora Gozen" of the Ashikaga family. If there is a problem with this golden branch and jade leaf, it will be wrong. Everyone in the city has committed seppuku, and they can¡¯t count the sins. ¡°Hmph! You don¡¯t need to shoulder this responsibility! " "That's not OK! "The attitudes of both sides are like the tip of a needle against the wheat. No one can convince the other. The endless quarrel lasted for seven or eight days. A piece of news from Echichu disturbed the mood of the Echigo samurai. , Yun Cheng of Yuezhong Temple, Zuisen Temple Yongxiu, and Shenbao Changzhi gathered together to form a force of 75,000 and attacked the people of Xinchuan County in Yuezhong. The Yokota clan, the Shiina clan of Shinkawa County, and the Daishiina clan of Shinkawa County sent a letter of request for help to Echigo. For a time, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops gathered in Echigo from all directions. The situation deteriorated rapidly beyond everyone's expectation, and the quarrel in Kasugayama Castle also ended quietly. "No more hesitation! Sado-den is very dangerous. If we cannot quickly deal with the invading troops in Central Vietnam and Lower Vietnam, there will be even greater danger! We don't have much time left! Uncle, please support Hu Ji¡¯s decision! "The girl looked at him expectantly. Nagao Kagenobu still disagreed: "Even if you go out into battle, you must go down. Don't act rashly in front of the tiger! You not only represent the Nagao family. On behalf of the Kira family, taking care of your body is more important than anything else! " The situation was so critical that there was no room for hesitation. Torahime pointed her eyebrows at the stubborn Nagao Kagenobu and angrily said: "Uncle can't go, because Kasugayama Castle needs uncle to guard it. If there is a crisis in the Vietnam-China direction, uncle will be needed to support. After all, The pressure there is the greatest! If the east and west lines collapse, what's the point of guarding Kasugayama Castle? If my uncle is still stubborn and misses important military and national affairs, can he bear this responsibility? Can you all bear this responsibility? " Nagao Kagenobu was speechless: "Sado Yamamoto said there is no problem" "Pedantic! Hu Ji said angrily: "Sado said it was okay and you didn't save him?" Instead, you go to guard Yuezhong with five thousand people and resist the siege of more than ten times the army. Can you hold on? " "I will definitely fight to the death to preserve my life! " Hu Ji didn't expect that his uncle would be so stubborn, and he reprimanded bitterly: "Fight to the death to survive. Even if we can't save the city in a deadly battle, the city will be destroyed and people will be killed. In the end, we still can't hold it. How can five thousand people stop Yuezhong's 75,000 army? Is my uncle still obsessed with it? " Nagao Kagenobu still shook his head stubbornly: "I, Kagexin, have accepted the instructions from the Zhenfu Palace to keep an eye on the Tiger Palace, so no matter what the reason is, the Tiger Palace cannot go out! " "you! Faint! "Hu Ji blushed with anger, stood up and left angrily. "This should be the first time Hu Yuqiandian has spoken rudely, right? He seemed really pissed off! "Nagao Fujikage sighed worriedly: "Isn't Toyozen's attitude as the guardian of the temple too tough? After all, she is Princess Torahime, the Toragozenden! " "It doesn't matter, even if she is resented by Hu Yuqiandian, it is still a hundred times better than letting her go out into battle. "Nagao Kagenobu shook his head with a wry smile, and turned to Watanabe Takazuna and said: "In the near future, I have to ask Saabei Weiden to take care of me. I must not let Toragozenden sneak out again and cause trouble again. You and I can't afford the sin. " Watanabe Takazuna nodded and said: "Well, please don't worry Toyozen, I'll save you the trouble. " Tokiyuki Yamamoto is the chief genealogy elder of the Kira family. There is no doubt that he has extraordinary wisdom and excellent military strategy. Not to mention how powerful he is as Kira Yoshitoki's mentor and taught such a powerful apprentice. Honda Tokimasa , just saying that he was valued by Ashikaga Yoshiteru is enough to show his level. In his sixties, he was ranked among the six Sado warlords, and he was also at the forefront among the samurai in the world. Yamamoto Tokiyuki personally led the 5,000 Omi reserve troops. Rushing to the battlefield of Xinchuan County in central Vietnam, the training of this new army has not been completed, and it was not originally intended to be put into the battlefield. However, the critical situation could only force the five thousand troops to block the flood. The entire Echigo knew that this must not be done. Keep it upEntering Echigo, it would be unthinkable if they were allowed in. Some of the Echigo farmers who were dispersed after the assassination last year were also unstable. Fortunately, the Tongxin people acted effectively and extinguished these sparks in time. In July, flowers are blooming in midsummer, and everything exudes vitality. Animals are also entering and exiting the most important breeding period of the year. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Mosquitoes are inevitable due to the lush trees on the mountains. The gauze tent produced in Omi It was so popular here that some wealthy warriors simply covered their courtyards with gauze tents, and the Yu family felt uncomfortable sitting on the porch eating wine and admiring the moon. At the beginning of the lanterns, every household lit up the lights. The newly expanded Kasugayama Castle was several times wider than before. The neat mountain roads were cut very steeply. The dozen or so teaching grounds spread across Kasugayama were expanded by one-third from the original size. Guards inside the city The house was even wider, and a fierce quarrel broke out between a father and his son in a house settlement halfway up the mountain. "Father! Don't you understand the current situation? Echigo is about to be doomed. If we don't seize the opportunity to make a fortune, we will wait until hundreds of thousands of troops invade Echigo. It will be too late for us to do anything else. !" Nagao Keiji pinched his throat like a dying old goat. Blushing and panting, it was obvious that they had been arguing for a while. Nagao Fujikei¡¯s face turned pale with anger. Pointing at Nagao Keiji with a trembling concrete finger, he cursed: "Shinshiro, you are so confused! Do you know what you are talking about? Just by your words, I will be able to annihilate your relatives and hand you over to Bunzen Shoden for disposal. Here! Tell me, who is instigating you to say such treacherous words! Who is teaching you to bring injustice to my Shimoda Nagao family?" Nagao Keiji explained with an embarrassed look: "There is really no one. Instigating the child, this is all the child's own imagination" "Fart! Just what you think of, my sixty years old has been in vain!" Nagao Fujikage groaned for a long time before taking a breath. After finally catching his breath, he cursed loudly: "Look what you have done in the past ten years. You have still accomplished nothing even after being thirty years old. Today I was scolded by my old man and vowed to make great achievements. Tomorrow I don't know which whale house I will wander to and talk to you." You may hang out with wandering girls, and you may go to the castle town to gamble on football games the next day. How many troubles have you caused in the past ten years, and how many times have I wiped your butt? You have almost ruined the face of my Shimoda Nagao family? You've lost everything and you still don't know how to repent?" Nagao Keiji lowered his head in shame and said after a while: "Father! I know I was wrong. I have really changed this time. This time it is important, please believe me. , Things are really going to change in Echigo, please don¡¯t hold on to the crumbling tree anymore!¡± Nagao Fujikage was so angry that he almost fainted before his eyes. Seeing that his son was struggling to help him up, the old man pushed his son aside with all his strength. Roaring angrily: "You naughty bitch! You you must have hooked up with some shady person! Tell me, who did you hook up with?" "No one" "Fart! You are thinking of my eyes. Are you all blind? Tell me the truth! Tell me clearly who told you these nonsense, what he promised you, what you got, and who his accomplices are!" King's expression was ferocious, and Nagao Keiji couldn't help but tremble in fear. If he hadn't been the only one in Shimoda Nagao's family, I'm afraid the old man would have destroyed this bastard long ago. Awed by his father's majesty, Nagao Keiji's face suddenly turned ugly. Thinking of the danger of being exposed, he gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Since my father has asked, the child should tell the truth. The child has long been with me." The emissary of Takeda Ozen has established contact, and the information collected on Echigo in the past few years has been passed on through the hands of the child. "Nagao Keiji did not notice that Nagao Fujikage's face was getting worse and worse, but he became more and more proud as he talked. : "This time Takeda Daisen also introduced the envoy of the Hojo family to the child. The two families promised to help them attack Kasugayama Castle from the inside. After that, we will be given the territory of the two counties and the title of guardian of the half country of Echigo. When the time comes, we will go to the fields. The Nagao family can inherit the clan and become the direct descendants of Echigo Nagao! Hahaha" "Pa!" Nagao Keiji covered half of his swollen cheeks and said in disbelief: "Father, you actually hit me. ! You have never hit me! You actually hit me!" Nagao Fujikage seemed to be crazy, grabbed Nagao Keiji by his clothes, pushed him down, and slapped him in the face. The beating went on and on, causing Nagao Keiji to roll over and scream in agony. As he continued to beat him, the old man muttered: "The one I'm beating is you, the traitor. I would rather beat you to death today than let you corrupt me as a traitor." The family fortune of Shimoda NagaoI would rather have a white-haired person give a black-haired person to someone else than let this traitor like you ruin everything!" "Hey! What's going on! Brother, why are you fighting? Stop it, don't fight anymore! If the good kid comes up with a problem, I will go to the Nagao family's Souji.We still have to rely on him! "Nagao Xingri pushed open the paper door, walked between the father and son in a few steps and pulled them apart. The old man was so angry that his beard and hair were spread out, and he beat his chest and cursed loudly: "I would rather not have this son! You are in your thirties and have not yet married a wife. Go and find out which princess is willing to marry this unfaithful son! Apart from corrupting the family tradition and causing trouble, he has never done anything decent! At this year's court party, you got drunk and behaved inappropriately in front of the palace. You molested the maid in Princess Aya's palace, and you were almost coaxed out of Kasugayama Castle. Wasn't the lesson profound enough? If I hadn't kowtowed and apologized with all my heart, you could only stay in the countryside and be a small rich man. Let you reflect for half a year and you still haven't repented and tried to subvert the lord's foundation. You are no longer my son, Nagao Fujikage. You are Feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! " Nagao Xingli persuaded with a smile: "Hey! Brother's words are serious! Shinshiro is also for the foundation of our Shimoda Nagao clan! Although the method is wrong, the intention is still good. Can't we just teach you a few words and correct your mistakes? Why are father and son so quarrelsome? Come sit down and talk! " "snort! I have nothing to say to this traitor! I just hope that he can take care of himself and not cause trouble for dozens of members of my Shimoda Nagao family! "Nagao Fujikage put his hands behind his back and walked away angrily. "Uncle, did you hear that? This is my father! Nagao Keiji covered his swollen cheeks and said angrily: "He hates me so much!" He even hit me! My face was swollen from the beating. How can I go out to meet people tomorrow? I still have things to do tomorrow! He suddenly pounced on me and beat me hard! Hissit hurts! His face was swollen, it was disgusting! ¡± In fact, Nagao Kosato is not his biological uncle, but a branch cousin. He married Nagao Fujikage¡¯s sister as his main wife and became the chief patriarch of the Shimoda Nagao clan. When he saw his useless nephew, he complained to him , chuckled and said: "That's your father, how can you say that about your father! Your father still sincerely hopes that you will be well, but he just used the wrong method. Don't hold a grudge against him. It will get better after some time! " "But his attitude is very determined, what should we do? Nagao Keiji struggled for a long time and said with a sad face: "What if he leaks today's news?" " Nagao Xingli, the old god, picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "Don't worry! If we didn¡¯t see the thousands of soldiers and horses guarding Kasugayama Castle, we wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything we wanted to do! You don't have to worry about your father snitching on you. He's a sharp-tongued man, but he will forgive you sooner or later. I understand his character, so just do what you need to do with confidence! " "Um! Since uncle said so, there must be no problem! Nagao Keiji was shocked and said cautiously: "Those ninjas are very annoying. There are more and more ninjas wandering around recently. We can't deal with things for a while. What should we do?" " "So don't worry! If you can't do it, just wait. We have plenty of time! "Nagao Xingli narrowed his eyes, not knowing what plan he was planning.
