Mount Gaoguan is 273 meters high and surrounded by lush trees. There are only two mountain roads leading to the top of the mountain. Above the city is another small city named Taiguan. This city belongs to a branch of the Dabaoji clan. Within the Dabaoji clan His status is not high, so this city is extremely small. There are less than fifty people including the city lord, his family and the garrison. They belong to the typical small wealthy family that no one cares about and has no deterrence. The entire family was captured while they were sleeping, and became prisoners of Kira's army inexplicably. Kira Yoshitoki had no intention of embarrassing the two families. Instead, he climbed to the top of the city and looked at the hazy night view at the bottom of the mountain. He sneered: "What a bold and daring native of Dewa, Mogami Yoshimori, Date Terumune, and Onodera Kagemichi." , and other miscellaneous fish such as Mogami Hachiko, Yuri Twelve Heads, Hanhejiang, Shiratori, and Agibi also dare to join in the fun. Is it really too long-lived? " The cold night wind took away his words, outside the Mipo Castle at the foot of the mountain. In the camp, a group of warriors on vigil were dozing off. After the two attacks during the day were repulsed, the general ordered a break. Compared with a month ago, the attack started at dawn and continued until the sun went down. , but it is several notches higher. The samurai were exhausted by the endless attacks, and the daily attacks were more like routine. Even the most naive Leng Touqing, who had gone through a long siege battle, could not show his temper and dared to shout that he would fight to the end. Urajo captured Naito Masashige alive, and the 13,000-strong army had already gathered most of the essence of Hazen. To add more, he would have to use all his family resources to fight. Several large camps were quiet, the warriors who had been running around all day went to bed early, and the warriors who were patrolling at night cursed the dry weather in a low voice. The most recent rainfall was the heavy snowfall at the beginning of the year. It has not rained for four months since the ice and snow melted. If the terrain of Dewa hadn't been too remote and it took a long time until spring for the ice and snow to begin to melt, the drought might have been more serious. Date Terumune had dinner at Mogami Yoshimori's camp before leaving. His camp was located in the southeast corner nearly a mile away from Mogami Camp in the northeast corner, but he worked tirelessly to get there every day. Mogami Yoshimitsu was here to watch the morning and dusk, and the soon-to-be son-in-law performed the trick of being a loving father and a filial son in the camp every day, making Mogami Yoshimitsu, the eldest son, seem superfluous. In fact, this is the effect of Mogami Gishu Kaname. The more he is in front of many people from the Dewa Daimyo country, the more he has to show how much he values ??his son-in-law. Let them always realize that they have the support of a close and powerful quasi-sect, so that he, the leader of the alliance, can sit firmly. Even the powerful Onodera Kagemichi of the three counties of Senboku must respect him. He knew very well that after seeing the play performed by Date Terumune and himself, Tendo Yorisada's attitude gradually changed from arrogance and disdain to fear and resentment. Mogami Hachio and a group of people from Mogami and Murayama counties also His expression changed, and when he saw his eyes again, there was a bit of envy and caution. This was the power of power, and he loved this feeling. Recently, Mogami Yishou went to bed very early. At his age, his body began to gradually decline, and his energy was not as strong as it was ten years ago. After the second watch, he went to bed early because he was tired. These days, he always felt a little guilty in his heart. Whether the Kira family will notice the change in Dewa Country's situation and how long it will take them to capture Miura Castle are all questions. In fact, the layout of the Dewa country's coalition forces to jointly deal with the Kira family was not created by him alone, but came from his idea in the exchange of letters with Date Harumune. After the winter of last year, he noticed that the stable situation in Dewa country was changing. The intervention of the Kira family has become more subtle and complicated, and he has been thinking about how to deal with the Kira family. Although the Mogami clan is a descendant of the Oshu Shiba clan, and even respects the Osaki clan as a clan, they can also be considered as a powerful clan of the Shiba clan. For generations, they have received the title of shogun as a sign of honor. They were awarded the title of Deyu Tankai by the shogunate, and the position of Deyu Mamoru who applied for it on behalf of the shogunate. Legally speaking, their family is the veritable supreme ruler of Deyu Country, and the entire Deyu country should obey him. But the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. The influence of the Dewa Mogami clan has always been concentrated in Mogami County, and its influence on other counties can only be described as inferior. Because of the mess of bad debts in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a number of bastards were divided to protect them. The territory of Dewa Province was controlled by the direct bureau of Yamagata Castle. This was also an important feature of building a lordship system based on blood relations at that time. The key is that later on, the governor of the Mogami family began to act out of the routine, and all the marriages, including his own, the Hangae Oe clan, also became related by marriage. Later, he adopted the concubine and inherited the position of the governor, which made the originally stable concubine follow the direct line. A fatal flaw appeared, and the system of leadership based on blood ties became increasingly unsustainable and gradually transformed into a system based on geographical connections and party affiliation. Since the Mogami Manchu family descended, the Mogami clan's genealogy has been very confusing. There were two younger brothers, Mogami Yoshisui and Mogami Yoshito, but he kicked them out and named them the Narisawa clan and the Sugiyama clan, and thenAs a result, a group of bastards were dissatisfied and felt that the governor of the family, the Nakano clan, was unclean and unfair, so disputes within the family arose. Before Mogami Yoshinori, the family lineage was already the blood of the common Nakano clan. After Mogami Yoshinori's adoptive father, Mogami Yoshisada, died, as the second son of Nakano Yoshikiyo, he was adopted as the family governor. After a few decades, The adoptive governor of the Nakano clan met again in 2015, and it was definitely hard to remember the days when members of the Mogami clan looked at him day and night with ridiculing and mocking eyes. Without prestige, there is no guarantee to maintain the status of the family governor. You, the family governor, will not even listen to your family lineage, and you still expect ordinary retainers to be obedient and obedient. Mogami Yoshimori is holding his breath in his heart to prove that he is worthy of being the family governor, so When he tentatively put forward the proposal to deal with the Kira family, and quickly received a positive response from Date Masamune, he immediately started to perfect the plan. He needs military exploits to expand his territory to increase his personal prestige, and he needs a larger territory to support the Mogami family business. As long as the Mogami family is revived in his hands, those strange eyes and weird remarks will disappear, just like Takeda Harunobu in What he did after his father was exiled was to use his military exploits and territory to silence his family members. As the initiator of the plan, he gained an undisputed leadership position in this war. Only Date Harumune has enough prestige and strength to compete with Mogami Yoshimori. But he had already lived in seclusion in Yonezawa City and concentrated on appeasing his younger brother Watari Motozon. As well as his father-in-law, Shigetaka Iwaki, and the left-behind Toushi clan of the quasi-sect. Onodera Kagemichi is still a young boy in his twenties. In the eyes of Mogami Yoshimori, he is a good person but his prestige and strength are still a bit lacking. If he is given another ten years, he might be able to compete with him, but it is absolutely impossible now. The one who competes with him for power, and the biggest dissident within the Mogami family, is Tendo Yorisada, but he is also young and has no prestige similar to Onodera Kagemichi, and his methods and knowledge are even worse than Onodera Kagemichi, without more than ten years of training. It cannot become a climate at all. As for his future son-in-law, Date Huizong, he is younger. The drama that was staged at the military meeting a few days ago can only be described as immature. Compared with his professional acting skills, it is still far behind. Date Minamoto was so smart and old-fashioned that he couldn't make the decision, and there were many words that he couldn't say. To be honest, no one in the entire Deyu Kingdom people's army would compete with him for power, and he could hold the supreme command of this army of more than 10,000 people without any worries. In his sleep, he dreamed that he was standing on Miura Castle and looking at the Ichimahira River in the Shonai plains with high spirits. Behind him were the people of Dewa country kneeling on the ground praising his wise and decisiveness. Zhen slapped herself regretfully to admit her arrogance and stupidity, while Onodera Kagemichi bowed down and admitted his mistake without saying a word. Date Huizong was willing to be the sharp knife in his hand. Later, the entire Deyu was captured, and half of Mutsu was captured. He led tens of thousands of troops south to Echigo to compete with Kira Yoshitoki for supremacy. Even his old rival Date Harumune had to praise his inferior skills. He had built a huge foundation that his ancestors had never thought of. Those who once ridiculed him Pudai obeyed orders obediently. Even though he knew it was impossible, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. In the last dream, Mogami Yoshimori dreamed that he was standing in Kyoto and shouted: "I want to achieve an unparalleled legacy, I want" The beautiful dream suddenly shattered, and a faint scream for help was heard. The next moment Mogami Yoshimori kicked off the quilt and suddenly jumped up, pulled out his sword and shouted: "What happened? Why is there such a noise outside" After walking out of the tent and seeing the scene in front of him, Mogami Yoshimori was stunned. , this is still the camp he is familiar with. Rows of neat and clean tents are bursting with flames. The scattered warriors are all disheveled. Just like him, they pulled out their swords and sickles to resist the onslaught of troops. Suddenly a loud noise rang in my ears, and I saw dozens of Ashigaru weapons in the distance carrying fire stick-like weapons spraying out golden flames. The Mogami Samurai who was desperately resisting in the distance fell straight to the ground. In a pool of blood. "This must be an iron cannon! I have heard that its power can kill tigers, so this army must be the Kira Army! The reinforcements from Kira Yoshitoki are here! How did he come here! Did he come by boat? ? Where to disembark, why was it a night raid, and why didn¡¯t the surrounding military notice it? " Mogami Yoshimoru couldn¡¯t figure out what was going on. According to his plan, Kiragi He really should have realized something was wrong at this time, but he should always send an envoy to Miura Castle to contact Dewa Country and ask whether the Mogami Army attacked the Shimizu Territory or whether there were other reasons that led to the severance of contact. ??Hazen is so big and it¡¯s not like fighting everywhere. As long as the envoy of the Kira family comes to Sakata Port by boat, he will be captured by the Supreme Samurai disguised as Kira Army. At that time, he will be able to accurately know Kira Yoshi¡¯s movements.However, it is not a big problem for Echigo to wait for half a month without receiving a reply before sending more envoys, or tentatively sending two to three thousand reinforcements. They can get another month to One and a half months. This time is definitely enough to capture Weipu City. After all, this city is not huge and strong. The defenders in the city have a lot of food but not much preparation. They have to endure three consecutive months of siege battles, and they have to fight at night. Mentally guard against night attacks. In this case, the food consumed must be more than three times that of the usual garrison. As the weather gets warmer and the number of wounded increases, the city will also be in shortage of medicine. After repeated calculations, he was very confident that this long-lasting battle would be over within a month. As long as Miura Castle was captured by him, Kamezaki Castle, which was even more lacking in food and grass, would inevitably be unable to sustain itself. It would have no support and no reinforcements if it was not timely. After Kaicheng surrenders, it will inevitably be captured by Deyu's army within half a month. By then, the Kira Army will even send a large army to rescue. That doesn't mean much anymore. There are captives and hostages in hand. Tagawa County was captured again by the Deyu people. Even if Kira Yoshihito had his hands and eyes open to the sky, he would still have to swallow this breath. At that time, as long as he stands up and acts as a peacemaker, releasing the captives and hostages in exchange for the two sides reaching a peace without war, all this will be solved smoothly. , by then it will have nothing to do with them whether the Kira family chooses to go to Kanto or Kashin, and he himself can also establish outstanding personal prestige in this war, and complete the comprehensive suppression of Mogami Hachio is just around the corner. "But what is going on! My beautiful vision! My lifelong ambition! How could my struggle lead to this result! Why!" Mogami Yoshimori shouted hysterically, but attracted several Kira family members. The attention of the red cavalry. Fortunately, the Hatamoto samurai rescued them in time and prevented the few knights from getting close. Mogami Yoshimitsu came out of nowhere, with a few stains on his pink face particularly conspicuous, and several cuts in his gorgeous robe. He walked over quickly with a sword in his hand and said anxiously: "Father Sir, the Kira army is coming! All the nearby camps have been set on fire. Tendo Yorisada and Nouzawa Mitsushige have retreated. Let¡¯s retreat quickly!¡± Mogami Yoshimori gasped and stared. With a pair of red eyes, his spirit was muddled as if he had been possessed by a demon. He leaned on his sword and shouted, "Retreat? You must not retreat! There is my dream here. There is my ambition. If we leave, the dream will be gone! You can't retreat!" "Father! Please leave as soon as possible! It's too dangerous here" Mogami Yoshimitsu wanted to go up and help him. But Mogami Yoshimori, who was in a state of confusion, thought that Mogami Yoshimitsu was holding the sword to his disadvantage, so he kicked Mogami Yoshimitsu in the stomach. Mogami Yoshimitsu was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground by his father. He couldn't get up for a long time. The most beloved tachi was thrown to someone unknown, and his head seemed to be knocked on a stone with a trace of blood oozing out. Mogami Yoshimitsu covered his groggy head and climbed up with difficulty, and heard him in his ears. The father yelled angrily: "What do you want to do, you bastard and traitor? Are you using the sword to harm my family? My family has long known that you, this traitor, have ideas about the Kira family. This time, you must want to hold my family hostage and claim credit for Kira Yoshiki." Pamper me! Don't even think about it! "Hmph!" Mogami Yoshimitsu was helped up by several people. He stretched out his hand and saw the bright red blood between his fingers. He couldn't help but cry. He never expected that his father would be like this. Even though he resented his harshness and harshness towards him, and never showed any kindness to him, he never thought of doing anything bad to his father! Why would he treat himself like this, just because of a night attack and reveal everything in his heart? Xiao Xing hurriedly helped him into the tent, and used warm boiling water to clean the wound on his forehead. The wound was not big at all. After cleaning it, he applied the best wound medicine and tied it with clean linen cloth until it was no big deal. However, Mogami Yoshimori chased him in for some reason and cursed: "I know that you, a rebellious son, have always wanted to seek the position of family governor, but I can tell you! This position of family governor may not be yours! If our family is at its peak, you can If you want to seek the position of family governor, you, the rebellious son of this family, will never" Mogami Yoshimitsu felt the pain on his forehead still tinged with pain. He raised his head and looked at the almost crazy Mogami Yoshimori, and said in a cold voice: " Father, do you want to depose the direct descendant? "Yes! This family wants to" At this time, the Laoshi family rushed over and shouted: "My lord! You must not do it!" Is it you? You're here just in time! I'm about to" Mogami Yoshimoru, who fell into madness, felt his eyes go dark and collapsed. Ujie Mamoudou supported the unconscious Mogami Yoshimitsu, and said to Mogami Yoshimitsu: "Young master, don't listen to the nonsense of the master. Judging from his condition, he must be trapped in a demonic disorder. I have also heard of this kind of disease, great joy, great sadness, or other symptoms." Stimulation can make people go crazy, and usually they can be cured after just a few months of cultivation. Please don¡¯t take the Lord¡¯s words of being possessed into your heart, please " "Don't take it to heartcan I not take it to heart? "Mogami Yoshimitsu looked at Mogami Yoshimori with only cold and ruthless eyes. He would not regard what Mogami Yoshimori just said as crazy. The dark footprints on his lower abdomen and the pain on his forehead reminded him all the time of what happened just now. It's all true. Mogami Yoshimitsu was completely heartbroken and said coldly: "I really wish that nothing happened just now. I didn't appear here just now. I didn't get this kick or fall out and break my forehead. I didn't listen. These words are more painful than falling and being broken But what happened cannot be changed. The governor of his highest family only has power and ambition in his eyes, but no family affection. He treats me, the eldest son, and Ayi, the legitimate son. If a woman is like this, how can she treat others? " "Young Master" Ujie Sadahi hesitated before trying to persuade him. At this moment, Mogami Yoshimitsu, Kamebu Maru, whose surname was Sadaoka, ran in holding his lost sword and said eagerly: "Your Highness is not well. ! The Kira Army's cavalry is coming towards our tent! There are so many people! " "Are there many people? Understood! Everyone come out with me. "Yoshimitsu Mogami stood up with the help of several minor surnames. His head hurt so much after being hit that he was even dizzy when he walked. When he passed by the guardian of his father's family, he said calmly: "Owari guardian helped him to the ground. Rest on the bed, and then follow me to surrender in front of the camp. " Ushiyasada persuaded him, "Are you going to surrender? I think you can escape with your highness! " Mogami Yoshimitsu also frowned. He knew better than anyone else that the situation was actually irreversible. He was not optimistic about his father's anti-Echigo alliance from the beginning to the end. He criticized it at home and in the military tents. Expressing his opinion for the first time, he believed that Yoshitoki Kira was a famous general and would never make such a stupid mistake and let the Mogami family take advantage of him. However, his father, Yoshimori Mogami, would not listen to his persuasion. Instead, he felt that his legitimate son had intentional intentions. He poured cold water on him and deliberately used a tone of voice to make shocking remarks in order to attract his attention. As a result, the dissatisfaction and contempt in his heart increased. Gradually, he lost his right to speak in the army and became his father's follower, only responsible for bringing his eyes. Look and listen. In Mogami Yoshimitsu's view, the defeat of this war was a matter of time. The fault was that his father chose the wrong opponent. He thought he could suppress the situation and win the situation, but he did not think about overcoming the situation. Behind the amazing achievements in the past few years, there must be thrilling iron-blooded wars, as well as decisions and plans that they cannot understand. Even Takeda Shingen, who his father always admired, was so defeated that Kai didn't dare to come out. Where did his father get the courage? Can the Kira Army stop the powerful Kira Army? As long as the Kira Army marches into Dewa Country, there is no need to expect the people of Dewa Country to stop the Kira Army's iron hoof at any time. How can a remote area without even iron cannons withstand repeated defeats? What about the huge forces of the Kai Takeda clan, the Sagami Hojo clan, and the Etsuchu clan that have always been strong? Not to mention that this town government official helped the shogunate, and the order of the samurai family was exactly in line with their Mogami clan's development path. To control Deyu, they had to be subdued. The obedient clan reestablished the dominance of the clan over the common people. From the bottom of his heart, he very much agreed with Kira Yoshitoki's strategy, and he was full of respect for this famous Minamoto clan who had made extraordinary achievements at a young age. He had long ago determined that neither the Mogami clan nor the Dewa clan could stand up to the Kira family. The current situation just confirmed his argument. The Dewa clan was indeed no match for the Kira army. They had already lost and even lost their pants. Thinking of this, Mogami lost his pants. Yoshimitsu snorted coldly and said, "What if we go back? Seventy percent of the elite of my Mogami family are here. I have no chance of turning around if I escape alone. The army of the town government comes to kill most of the people of Dewa country. They will abandon their helmets and armor and blood will flow into rivers. Those who escape will eventually be killed. It is impossible to escape the iron hoofs of Kira's army. Since escaping back is just a stubborn resistance, it is better to surrender in exchange for a favor. " Ujiya Shoudong settled Mogami Yoshimori, walked out of the tent, and sighed: "Yes! With the strength of my subordinates, I can only escape with two to three hundred riders at most. Compared with the three thousand elites of my family, these people are only 10%, which is too few! Even if you run back, you won't have the strength to resist the Kira army's attack No! I'm afraid even Tendo Yorisada's attack won't be able to withstand it! " "Stop talking! It's time for us to go out and meet the elite Akei of the Kira Army! "Mogami Yoshimitsu glanced at Mogami Yoshimitsu, who was lying alone on the bed alone in the tent, with pity and sorrow in his eyes. His beloved Date Terumune did not think of coming to see this good father-in-law at the critical moment. In the end, it was his son who had to clean up the mess, but I don¡¯t know if it was because of this that he lost his mind and acted in such a disgusting way. Thinking of this, Mogami Yoshimitsu walked out quickly, and he had nothing to do with his biological father. There¡¯s more to say. (To be continued)
