    The Void Monk trembled all over. He looked back and saw Layman Guo Xin holding two shining small swords. The sharp blades showed a dim reflection under the light. The Void Monk's legs gave way and he fell to the ground and exclaimed: "You  ¡­Guo Xin¡­you actually came back! What are you doing here?¡± With a sneer on his lips, Master Guo Xin slowly walked to the side of the Monk of Nothingness and leaned over him and said, ¡°  Because someone wants to buy Master's life, and the reward he pays is too great for me to refuse. " "What reward! I I'm willing to give you double the reward!" the void monk thought in panic.  When I got up, I was helpless because I was old and frail and lost 70% to 80% of my ability due to this fright. Under the pressure of layman Guoxin, I couldn't even stand up.  Layman Guoxin gently placed the small sword across the neck of the monk, and said: "The reward he gave is all the property in the name of the master. The gold and silver left behind by the master, this small courtyard and several properties in Kyoto are all  It's mine. Master must know who this person is! " "It must be him! I didn't expect that I would raise such an ignorant white-eyed wolf for a moment!  Me too!" The Void Monk beat his chest and cried loudly, cursing his grandson. He glanced at the expressions and movements of the layman Guo Xin from the corner of his eye.  "Okay! Guo Xin won't delay Master's departure. Farewell!" Layman Guo Xin gently swiped his hands to interweave the two swords to create a gorgeous blood line. The next moment, his head full of shock rose into the sky.  , the hot blood sprayed from the corpse cavity splashed on the golden copper coins, witnessing a terrifying story of betrayal.   The Sanhe Kingdom in the summer is becoming more and more hot.  Even if you stand against Mikawa Bay and welcome the sea breeze that is not blowing, it can't relieve the scorching heat here.  Matsudaira Ieyasu rode a tall horse produced by Luo and commanded five thousand troops to besiege Saijo Castle.  Three full years have passed since the Battle of Okehazama. In the past three years, he has been working diligently to expand the territory of Mikawa Kingdom. He has never given up his pursuit of power and land. He is an ambitious and determined person.  Ambitious man.  The former son-in-law of the Imagawa family has long since transformed into a famous overlord of Mikawa. Only his slightly immature face can reveal his true age. At a young age, he can independently conquer a large territory and dominate most of Mikawa country. No matter what,  It seems that they are all outstanding talents, if you don't count the monster-like figure of Yoshitoki Kira.  Matsudaira Ieyasu can definitely be regarded as a heroic figure in the Warring States Period.  As early as the conclusion of the Seisu Alliance last year, it was established that Matsudaira Ieyasu's control over Mikawa was stable. In recent years, his expansion has also been striving to implement the original strategic goal of dominating Mikawa. Saijo Castle in front of him is the last strategy target in Mikawa Kingdom, and he commands  Five thousand soldiers from all over the Mikawa Kingdom, all under the banner of Mitsuha Aoi, will attack the territory of the Kira family whether they like it or not.  Ishikawa Boki Morisu, who is in charge of the family lineage and the old Okazaki Castle, is in a good mood. Since the raid at the beginning of the first year of the first lunar month successfully captured several branch towns of the Kira family in Natsuda County, in less than half a year, the Matsudaira family is  They marched all the way and swept through the people from all over Etian County, Bihai County, and Hatou County. With their superiority in military strength and excellent command, they defeated the Kira Army led by Kira Yoshian several times.  Counting the counties of Dongsanhe that have been basically captured before.  The Matsudaira family can already be regarded as the veritable lords of the Mikawa Kingdom. Such rapid expansion allowed Matsudaira Ieyasu to accumulate high prestige in just three years.  Several elders of the genealogy family who originally had a strong voice were dismissed one after another, completely establishing his position as the undisputed voice in Sanhe Kingdom.  At this time, five thousand Matsudaira troops were surrounding Saijo Castle in preparation for a general attack. Ishikawa Tsumugi was looking at the dark siege force and said: "Saijo Castle is worthy of being a fortified castle rebuilt by Yamamoto Sado Mamoru, even though it is located next to the Yahagi River.  We still have a solid defense that can't go down the mountain castle! But why is that Kira-don unwilling to surrender to the city? " "I have no plans to do anything to the Kira family. At least we are related to Yuu Yu, everyone.  We are Mikawa samurai, what issues can we not sit down and discuss carefully?" Matsudaira Ieyasu rubbed his head in distress and said: "Although there are some conflicts between Ieyasu and Kira-don, those are things in the past and don't worry about it, as long as Kira-dono is willing.  If he submits to our family, we are willing to give him the treatment of a member of the clan!" Ishikawa Sumasa hesitated and said, "Maybe it's because of the Echigo governor!" "The governor of Echigo!  Mr. Matsudaira Ieyasu frowned.  The young Naito parent said enthusiastically: "I heard that Kai is a very powerful person and has a great reputation in Kanto! Even a powerful samurai like Takeda Daisen was defeated. He is indeed a role model for my Mikawa samurai."  "Ah!" Seeing the young samurai of the retainer group expressing their approval, Matsudaira Ieyasu said:? His brows were almost twisted into a knot. Sakai Arakuzu Masachika, the chief minister of the imperial family, noticed this and said calmly: "The prince of the town has abandoned Mikawa Echigo. Strictly speaking, he should not be counted as a samurai of Mikawa.  "The governor of the Nishino Ishikawa family, Ishikawa Hyuga Mamoru, echoed: "That's right! The Mikawa Kira family should be the Kira-den in Saijo City, and the Lord of the Town has long been the Ashikaga family of Kyoto. It can't be any more.  Count us among the samurai of Mikawa." "The most taboo topic for the Mikawa Matsudaira family lineage is that during the glorious Kiragi period in Echigo, Matsudaira Ieyasu himself has not discussed the Kiragi period for ten years.  On any topic, his family members also adhered to the concept of family governor and never mentioned how glorious Kiragi was, even in the Imagawa family.  Refusing to discuss and never mentioning it means a gesture of resistance. He eagerly approaches Kira Yoshiyasu and is even willing to put his warm face on his cold buttocks. This further indicates that Matsudaira Ieyasu's governing strategy has always revolved around the theme of Mikawa pacification, and he may even do so.  Thinking about how to support Ji Liangyi'an to seek more benefits.  The young samurai didn't notice the undercurrent in these words at all. He rubbed his head stupidly and ran to the front of the formation to continue watching. When he arrived, Sakai Tadanobu, who had retreated to the second line, said with a smile: "Actually, this is Saijo Castle.  This is the former residence of the Lord of the Town, and the place where we are standing is the territory of the Ashikaga family. If we do this, we will definitely be strongly dissatisfied with the Lord of the Town!" "This" Ishikawa Ienari said cautiously: "Yes.  Don't send an envoy to Echigo" Ishikawa Sumasa coughed and said, "That's actually the case. My lord feels deeply that Mikawa has suffered from war for many years, which has made us Mikawa samurai poor and impoverished, so lord and Daiki.  The temple set up troops to conquer and eliminate the rebellious people of Sanhe Country in order to restore the order of Sanhe Country as soon as possible. It is necessary to make some sacrifices for this purpose. I believe that the town government can definitely understand our difficulties. " "That's right.  Yes, that's right!" Several members of the family clan responded enthusiastically, gradually excluding Tadashi Sakai from the circle. The old man was so angry that he secretly cursed these idiots for treating him, the elder of the family family.  So disrespectful.  Angrily, he rode his horse to the back and sulked.  The Tokugawa retainers watched the progress of the siege talking and laughing. The attack on Saijo Castle had lasted for more than two months. The siege of more than sixty days had already forced the thousand defenders in the city to the edge of the cliff. Since Tominaga Tadayuan  Since his accidental death, all the wars presided over by Kira Yoshian have achieved a glorious record of consecutive defeats. No matter it is Nobusada Ohuchi or the personal support of Yaomoto Yamaoka, Masanobu Takahashi, Masahide Ehara and others, it still cannot change the continuous military encounters.  The embarrassing plight of failure.  Ohuchi Nobusada has sent envoys several times to reprimand Matsudaira Ieyasu for his shameless invasion. Unfortunately, his method can only be used against gentlemen who abide by the laws of the shogunate, but cannot effectively target the ruthless samurai daimyo. Matsudaira Ieyasu simply ignores you.  Protests and rebukes.  Insist on encroaching on Kira's territory bit by bit according to his own formation ideas.  Seeing that this guy was unreliable, Ohuchi Nobuzada sent someone to contact Oda Nobunaga who was in charge of Owari to ask him to seek justice.  After all, this is an alliance between the Kira family and it should be okay to uphold justice. Oda Nobunaga did immediately respond that he was willing to serve as the arbiter for both parties. However, as soon as the envoy of the Oda family persuaded the two families to make peace, the Matsudaira family came to find them.  A reason to continue fighting.  Even if it is a territorial dispute between two villages, they must intervene under the banner of the banner. Just imagine that in the countryside of that era, not to mention the conflicts of interest between the villages, even the village could still produce ugly people. You can imagine  Knowing how angry he was at Nobuzada Ohuchi for doing this, the two sides started fighting ping-pong-pong, and this fight resulted in a series of tragic defeats.  Mikawa Kira's army has hardly mobilized troops in the past ten years. Since joining the Imagawa family, it has been treated as a distinguished family with special treatment. During the Okezama battle, Tojo Kira's Kira Yi'an also symbolically sent three melons and two dates to shout.  Suddenly, Nobuzada Ohuchi of Saijo Castle had no intention of sending troops. At first glance, this was really cool, but in fact, it further weakened the military strength of the Mikawa Kira family.  Ten years without fighting means that a strong army will become a weakling. What's more, the defenders of Saijo Castle are not a strong army at all. As the most powerful elite in Nishi Mikawa, Saijo Bei followed the governor to Kyoto twelve years ago.  Then all the outstanding samurai and ashigaru seedlings were sent to Omi for training. Several years of blood transfusions completely destroyed the samurai ecosystem of Mikawa Kingdom and even the Kira family.  No matter whether it is Tojo or Saijo, the Mikawa Kira family has no more than one hand that can be called a good soldier. The only ones who can be considered good are Tominaga Tadamoto of Tojo and Yamaoka Yaomoto of Saijo. One of them is dead and the other is old.  He was also unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of commanding the army, and as the general, Kira Yoshian did have enough to shoulder the responsibility. From the beginning, he commanded and led the army indiscriminately.??Failed to the point where he pretended to be deaf and mute and still suffered defeat, which made him, the governor of the Kira family of Mikawa, equated with Huang Banxing.  If this defeat is followed by three defeats, even if the confident warriors fall into hesitation and confusion, and the brave soldiers are shaken and confused, no matter what we lose as an army, there is nothing worse than losing morale and confidence.  The Mikawa Kira family encountered this embarrassing situation.  The huge autonomy granted to Saijo Castle by Kira Yoshitsune included a series of administrative laws and regulations. There was not even a resident official, but Nobuzada Ohuchi was given the privilege of direct participation. In a sense, it was a change of direction and recognition of Nishi Mikawa as this group of people.  For the autonomous territory controlled by the Dai Retainers, the more they are given, the less Kira Yoshishi cares about them. After all, the cup of tea in Saijo City should have been cold long ago after twelve years away from home. The so-called monarch-subject relationship cannot be maintained.  It's just a relationship that has existed for many years and an everlasting interest.  Ohuchi Nobusada wrote several times and sent them to Echigo Kasugayama Castle. Unfortunately, Kira Yoshitoki had already gone south to Kanto, and the people who stayed at Kasugayama Castle did not dare to do so and forwarded the letters to Kira Yoshitoki.  However, with the rapid expansion of Musashi University, the military affairs faced by Kira Yoshitoki became more and more complex.  I didn¡¯t pay much attention to the letter asking for help that was even a month late. ??????? From Kira Yoshito¡¯s point of view.  It was acceptable to lose an insignificant battle, so he sent a messenger to ask Oda Nobunaga to urge Matsudaira Ieyasu to withdraw his troops immediately, and stated that as long as he withdraws his troops, he will not be held accountable. Then the second and third letters of help gradually changed.  It was even worse, from losing one game in the first letter asking for help to losing two games, three games and four games later on, the more they lost, the more they lost, and finally even half of Sanhe was lost.  But it was only half a month ago that all this gradually became clear. Ohuchi Nobuzada's request for help was still being transferred from Mikawa to Echigo to Ueno and then forwarded to the moving Kira Army's main formation.  We don¡¯t know exactly where this formation will move, we don¡¯t know when we will see the latest request for help, and we have no idea how Kiragi will bypass all the obstacles to help them. There is only one thing in their hearts, I am Kiragi.  At that time, I was a retainer and had to take care of me when I defeated Kira Yoshi.  Driven by this kind of thinking, from Kira Yi'an to Okouchi Nobuzada, they did not react too much psychologically to the continuous failures. In their view, as long as they were prepared to ask for help, the protective umbrella above would definitely use a tricky one.  The angle falls in front of them to bring down the shameful Matsudaira Ieyasu and safeguard their interests.  They naively thought that Kiragi did not send people to monitor Saijo Castle.  In fact, it is the trust and support of this group of hereditary generations. They can enjoy the food and sea salt income of Xisanhe.  They lived a life close to the days Kira Yoshihide lived in the Mikawa Kingdom. They had neither thought of betrayal nor planned to betray. Why would they do such an act of betrayal, which would cost them both reputation and profits, with their backs against a big tree so they could enjoy the shade?  Sometimes this kind of thinking is more dangerous than rebellion.  It was not until two months after the siege that no emergency rescue was received from Kira Yoshitoshi that Kira Yoshihiro and Ohuchi Nobusada realized in despair that they were terribly wrong. Kira Yoshitoshi had transferred almost all the main forces to the Kanto operation and could not spare any extra force for rescue.  The former leaders of several countries were separated, and they didn't even know whether Kira Yoshitomo was in Kawagoe Castle, Edo Castle, or had already arrived at Odawara Castle.  The record envoys sent by Kira Yoshitoki kept contacting the Oda family, hoping that he would urge Matsudaira Ieyasu to withdraw from Nishi Mikawa as soon as possible. However, the attitude of the Oda family became more and more ambiguous, choosing and playing word games of overt and overt, and Matsudaira Ieyasu's offensive became more and more difficult.  The stronger he became, he almost broke the Otemon several times and scared the samurai of the Kira Mikawa family into a cold sweat.  In the evaluation room of Saijo Castle, Kira Yoshian said worriedly: "At this time of life and death, would you please tell us what we should do?" Jukai Shinzaemon Yaozuna said with a bitter face: "Do we really want to surrender?  Really unwilling!" "How can we surrender to a samurai family from Kyoto! We and the Mikawa samurai must not bow to them!" Yamaoka Yao Yuan's sonorous speech blocked this last possibility.  The Matsudaira family was a member of the Kamo clan of Kyoto and was sent by Ise Sadachika to suppress Ichiku of Natsuda County. The story was also widely circulated in the Mikawa Kingdom. However, it gradually disappeared with the rise of Matsudaira Ieyasu, but some facts were always buried in the hearts of the Mikawa samurai.  will not change.  Ohuchi Nobuzada is much older than he was twelve years ago. With his gray hair and rich face, it is difficult to tell that he is the elegant Mikawa Bunka man back then. At this time, his eyelids were swollen and he said in a hoarse voice: "Compared to  The Matsudaira clan, which has been in the Mikawa Kingdom for less than a hundred years, the Kira clan and my family members are more qualified to be called the Mikawa samurai! If we were not about to make a wrong step in the Southern Dynasty, why would we let the Hosokawa clan and Isshiki go?  The fight for the protection of Mikawa was so bloody!" Kira Yoshian listened carefully to the group of family members discussing the origin of the Matsudaira family, and realized that the evaluation meeting seemed to be a bit topical, so he hurriedly saidSaid: "You guys can't come up with any effective method? Seeing that the ferocious Matsudaira army is about to come!" The retainers of Saijo Castle all looked at each other, and they had lived a privileged life for more than ten years.  Let them gradually become wider and fatter, just like the warriors of Mikawa no longer have elite soldiers and are no longer strong. The life of having no worries about food and clothing makes them less aware of worries, and they can live a comfortable life without having to worry about strategy at all.  It's like the five senses are degenerating. The more you don't use your brain, the slower it becomes.  This evaluation meeting unexpectedly started with Kira Yoshihiro's question and ended with Kira Yoshitoki's question. The members of Saijo Castle did not answer his question because they themselves did not know how to respond, and because  Kira Yoshian is not the actual owner of Saijo Castle, and the family members of the generation family have always been somewhat resistant to this "Yellow Banner Star".  A group of warriors from Saijo Castle spent the best opportunity to escape in a tangle. When the Otemon of Saijo Castle was breached, it was already too late to escape. Nobuzada Ohuchi asked Kira Yoshian to take his family and children.  He immediately retreated to the territory of Owari Province, and then took the opportunity to go to Echigo and defect to Kiragi, a leader of the clan.  Yoshiaki Kira also thought about the safety of his uncle Yoshiaki Kira and his great-uncle Yoshitomi Kira, and repeatedly asked them to follow him out of Saijo Castle as soon as possible, but was rejected by the stubborn old man Yoshitomi Kira. The filial Yoshiaki Kira also said  He had no intention of leaving Saijo Castle, and as a result, this delay wasted the most precious time to escape.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
