It was midsummer and the sun was blazing. Echigo in June had just experienced several heavy rains. The ravines of the mountain stream were lush and green, and the grass and trees were growing taller unconsciously. The dense leaves covered the blue sky. The summer in Echigo The rain was so dense that the citizens of the castle town were busy drying their clothes and bedding while the sun was shining brightly. Kasugayama Castle welcomes another couple's wedding. This time, the protagonists are Hosokawa Fujitaka and Numata Musk. After nearly ten years of hard work in lolita control, they have finally become successful. Unknowingly, Hosokawa Fujitaka is also twenty-five years old. The hairless young man now looks particularly majestic with two shiny beards. Half a year of intensive training has strengthened his originally thin figure, and he finally doesn't look like a weak scholar. His newlywed wife was hurriedly married by Hosokawa Fujitaka as soon as she reached the age of hairpins. It was obvious that Hosokawa Fujitaka was still a little anxious. Kira Yoshitoki was seven years younger than him, and now all three of his wives were pregnant. Child, but he is still a single man. Every day he sees and hears a group of married fathers showing off their sexual intercourse. How can he bear it? At least he survived until today and can sleep and fly with his wife in a serious manner. The newlyweds were not the most excited people at the wedding. The most excited person was Numata Mitsukane. This woman had raised a lot of good girls from her own family and was dancing happily among the guests at the wedding banquet. However, everyone had to betray him. This kind of face, even if you don't look at Numata Mitsukane's face, you still have to give face to his sons-in-law. Kira Yoshitoki turned a blind eye to all this, smiled and sent blessings to the newlyweds who were ten years apart, and then left the table with the pot-bellied Torahime. With his current status, he could no longer eat with his retainers like before. chat. Any banquet involving him would always seem a little restrained. Return to the Imperial Palace. Hu Ji felt a little sleepy with her belly bulging out. Not wanting to let go of her husband, she rested in Kira Yoshitoki's arms for a lunch break. Being with her pregnant daughter-in-law for a long time also made him develop the habit of taking naps. He had just slept for a while when there was a faint sound of footsteps coming from the corridor. A gust of wind blew past and a female ninja appeared. She put down a document and quickly retreated. The whole process took only a few breaths, so that the busy maid outside the courtyard did not notice anything strange. Kira Yoshishi turned sideways and picked up the document. When he unfolded it, he saw that it was a summary of intelligence from the past few days. It has been more than a month since Nakajo Tokihide captured Kurita County. Documents were sent to Echigo one after another, asking Kira Yoshitoki for strategy, support and manpower, and so on. He also mentioned that he envied his colleagues in Echigo. We hope that we can be transferred to Echigo H¨k¨ as soon as possible. In the final analysis, it was just Nakajo Tokihide who used his actions to show that he had no second thoughts. He acted without authorization to detain the shogunate angels, raided the Hexagon Army camp and captured 15,000 people. Finally, they acted without authorization and exchanged money and food for Litai County. If we only focus on the gains and losses of this operation, the Kira family must have made a lot of money. He suppresses potential enemies and strengthens himself, and also takes this opportunity to warn the underworld in Kinai. Don't think that the Kira family is in decline and easy to bully in Echigo. It's just that we didn't show our fangs. Such a blatant action caused such a big trouble. It is impossible to say that Kira Yoshi was not angry. When Nakajo Tokihide was preparing to take action, he did not know anything about it until Hattori Yasushi's information was sent via Asuka. It was only later that I learned the general details. By that time, the night battle of Shouyama had already been fought. It would be meaningless for him to convict again. Instead, it would cause more trouble to the remaining Omi gang members. "Should we transfer the master craftsman to Omi? The weather in Omi is warm and suitable for the elderly to take care of themselves Well, I'm afraid there are some problems. Outsiders may not know the reason why Hattori Baochang was sent to Omi by me, but I know it all. As for Chu, Shixiang withstood the siege of 110,000 troops in Ezhong, and his achievements were even higher than those of Murakami Yoshikiyo. If he were sent to Omi, it would inevitably make the people on the road have other ideas. " Kirara Yoshiki. Thinking quietly, he searched carefully and found that there was indeed no more suitable candidate than Nakajo Tokihide to take charge of Omi. Omi's newly developed Ritai County was very important, and the implementation of a series of decrees was inseparable from their mature team. Changing a general in charge of the army rashly will inevitably dampen the morale and enthusiasm of the warriors left behind at Omi. At this time, it is better to be slow rather than hasty and can only temporarily press down. "Huh? What's wrong? What kind of information is this?" Hu Ji yawned and changed her position to lean on his arms. She has become particularly annoying since she was pregnant. If she can't see Kiragi for half a day, she will lose her temper and throw things. Kira Yoshitoki knew very well that this was caused by the shadow of Torahime's childhood. Her father died and her mother became a monk. She left her hometown and was alone. This shadow has only a few embers left until now. In the past, he had a strong shell to protect him, but now that he has become a little woman, he especially likes to cling to him. Pregnant women are always emotionally sensitive and will inevitably be associated with some unpleasant memories. Princess Aya told him that this is normal, as long as he gives her It takes some time to get used to it, and things will get better after giving birth. "It's nothing, just some news about Omi Huh? Imagawa Yoshimoto is going to Luo! How??So fast? " Hu Ji's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her hazy sleepy eyes and asked: "What's so fast? " "Imagawa Yoshimoto is preparing to go to Luo. My brother has already sent to Mikawa to make advance arrangements. The action is much faster than I expected. " Kira Yoshi frowned unknowingly when he said this. This year is the first year of Yonglu, that is, 1558. If he remembers correctly, Imagawa Yoshimoto came to Luo in the third year of Yonglu, that is, 1560, and sent it The intelligence is clear that the Imagawa family is ready to mobilize troops at any time. ¡°How could it be so far in advance? It¡¯s completely wrong! Is it really the butterfly effect? But I didn't interfere with Junyuan San's affairs! Two years ago, the Imagawa family was deeply affected by the death of Taiyuan Xuezhai, so why did they suddenly want to go to Luo? "Ji Liangyi was shocked by the news for a moment, and his head was in a mess and he couldn't figure out what was going on. This news was beyond his expectation. Although those memories had long been blurred and broken, he still remembered the general deeds. She knew the famous surprise attack very well. Torahime opened her eyes wide and glanced at the small letters on the document, and said softly: "Perhaps Imagawa Harubu thought that we could defeat the Takeda family and the Hojo family, so he rushed to Luo to ask for a copy from the shogunate. What grace! " "Beat the Takeda family and the Hojo family" Kira Yoshishi's eyes lit up: "Maybe that's it! Two pillars of the Three Kingdoms Alliance were in trouble at the same time. The Takeda family was completely defeated by the main family and needed to rely on Imagawa Yoshimoto's diplomatic envoy to stabilize the situation. The Hojo family was severely damaged by their brother and did not dare to expand further north. At present, the Three Kingdoms Alliance is a one-man show performed by the Imagawa family. Taking this opportunity to use the banner of Shangluo to seize Owari is a good choice to strengthen itself. "Torahime tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Why did you seize Owari under the guise of a banner? Aren¡¯t you going to Shangluo? " "Shangluo?" Definitely not Shangluo! Do you think that every martial arts family would make the same desperate decision as Yu did back then, dragging their entire family to Kyoto to defect to the shogunate? Kira Yoshishi chuckled, and then said: "According to reliable information, this plan was made by Taiyuan Xuezhai eight years ago. At that time, the Imagawa family was satisfied with their newly captured Mikawa country, so they ordered Taiyuan Xuezhai to design Luo's plan. Regardless of the plan, How to act? The first step is to capture Owari Kingdom. If you can't capture Owari Kingdom, going to Luo is just a luxury. " When there was only one Kira Yoshi in the world, others did not dare to copy the path he had taken, nor did he have the conditions to do so. Imagawa Yoshimoto had a total territory of more than 700,000 koku, Shunenzo, and a total of more than 50 people in the three vassal states. Thousands of people, and located on the important trade route of Tokaido, one can easily become rich by relying on taxes. Suruga has gold mountains, Yuanjiang has rice, and Mikawa has soldiers who are not afraid of death. These three things are the Imagawa family's biggest reliance in competing for world supremacy. ¡°Capture Owari and then go to Luo? Who is Owari's famous name? Torahime seems to remember that there was a samurai from Owari who wrote to His Highness, named Kamisuke" Before she could finish her words, Torahime dozed off unconsciously, her fleshy little body pressed tightly against hers. Holding him in his arms, he carefully adjusted his sleeping position in his sleep, for fear of crushing the baby in his belly. "Oda Kamisuke Nobunaga. "When I think of this name, Kira Yoshi can't help but frown. He vaguely remembers meeting that strangely dressed young man in the autumn nine years ago. In the past nine years, he has grown from a three-foot-tall kid to a tall man. "He seems to have just completed the reunification of Owari last year, which seems to be faster than I remembered. It seems that I still have some correspondence with him." Those transactions still brought quite a change to Owari! " Kira Yoshi thought for a while, and then remembered some fragments of intelligence from the beginning of the year, but his brows couldn't help but frown more and more. Over the years, he sold him obsolete iron cannons, as well as some ordnance and armor captured from the Kinai War. , and gave priority to selling to the Oda family at a reasonable price without any discounts. Knowing that the Oda family needed money a lot, he allowed the Oda family to pay for the goods with food. The accumulation of bit by bit over the years is also a big advantage. In addition, there are letters. In his dealings with others, no matter how careful his words were, he would still inevitably mention some helpful ideas. Government affairs made him send people to Omi to learn from the advanced experience of the Kira family, although they were only allowed to move around the town. They went to the execution office to inquire about the information, but with the connections of the Kira family, it would be more helpful to have the followers of the Kira family reveal some tips to them privately. Not only military equipment, but also Oda Nobunaga. He devoted himself to the study of Kira Yoshitoki's tactical system, such as the use of iron cannons and the method of matching the ashigaru formation. He also further strengthened his own Sanma-and-a-half spear array, which had excellent effects against both ashigaru and mounted samurai. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
