Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 204 He Sheng's Military Discussion

Sengoku Hidehisa can actually be regarded as Hideyoshi's confidant general. He was originally from Kamo County, Mino Country, and was a branch of the Toki family of Qingwa Genji. As a retainer of the Saito family, he fought against Oda Nobunaga and was captured in Inabayama Castle. After surrendering Nobunaga.

Speaking of which, there is still a very interesting past between the Seven Sengoku Hidehisa and Oda Nobunaga.

It is rumored that in the Honmaru courtyard of Inabayama Castle, Oda Nobunaga personally recruited the captured samurai, one of the two people in front of Sengoku Hidehisa refused to surrender, Nobunaga executed him on the grounds that he did not want to surrender, and the other saw it Immediately surrendered, Nobunaga also executed him because he had no loyalty to his master.

If you were Hidehisa Sengoku, what would you do if you were executed in the face of the two diametrically opposite answers?
Sengoku Hidehisa may have kept his mouth shut at the beginning because of nervousness, but when Nobunaga lost his patience and wanted to execute him, he suddenly burst into a rage and yelled at Nobunaga for playing tricks on people's hearts. Nobunaga was recruited as a retainer when he was only 14 years old.

But Nobunaga just became playful temporarily, and soon lost interest in this boy, but he didn't know that his behavior at that time fell into the eyes of Kinoshita Hideyoshi at the time, so he was asked by Hideyoshi, who lacked retainers, to come to him as a host.

Beside Hideyoshi, who was short of major generals at that time, Sengoku Hidehisa was the only samurai from an orthodox samurai family, so he held him in high esteem.

In 1574 (the second year of Tensho), Hideyoshi granted him the 1000 koku territory of Omi Noshu County, and acted as a matchmaker for him, and married Honyoin, the daughter of Nonomura Yukinari, a retainer of the Oda family (and also a member of the Huangmu clothing group), as his main wife .

After the Battle of Yamazaki, Sengoku Hidehisa was appointed as the general of the Awaji Kingdom, and led 8000 people and the navy to suppress Awaji. Hideyoshi confessed that Hidehisa’s task was to eliminate the Awaji remnants who supported Akechi Mitsuhide, and after the war, Awaji Chaumoto 5 may be sealed. Wanshi.

You must know that before this, only Hideyoshi's younger brother Hashiba Hidecho was in charge of San'in's strategy as the general of the San'in area under the entire Hashiba family's command, and later Hideyoshi directly took over the command because of Yoshikawa Motoharu's intervention.

It can be seen from this that Hidehisa Sengoku is not an unknown person under Hideyoshi Hashiba.It can even be said that until the defeat of Kyushu, Sengoku Hidehisa has always been one of the generals under Hashiba Hideyoshi.

To sum up, before the defeat of Kyushu, the ability shown by Sengoku Hidehisa was recognized by everyone. In his capacity, even if he replaced Asano Nagamasa as the general of the middle lane, there would be no problem.

But he couldn't figure out why the Xiu family didn't even give him the position of the most deviant Eastern road vanguard general, but let him be a guest general with no sense of presence.

In fact, this is because Xiujia, as a historical traveler, was evaluated by later historical events, which caused Xiujia to distrust Xianshi Xiujiu's ability to command troops.

In the historical battle of Kyushu, Sengoku Hidehisa served as a vanguard general under the command of Hashiba Hidecho as Sanuki's 10-goku daimyo. He had generals including Chang Zonggabujia, Shihe Depository, etc., with a total force of 6500. If you count The number of remnants of Otomo's family is about 1.

At that time, the Kyushu Corps had not yet assembled, and General Hidecho Hashiba was still on his way to Funai Castle. Facing the Shimadzu Army with as many as 1 soldiers on the opposite side, the priority of the vanguard general should be to strictly guard the front line and ensure the existing positions. No loss, waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops.

As a result, Hidehisa Sengoku forcibly ordered the troops of the Four Kingdoms Corps and Otomo's family to attack, regardless of the fact that the Shimadzu family was twice as many as him in order to grab credit.

In the end, many daimyos and generals, including Shihe Depository and Changzong's relatives, died in battle. The last family property of Otomo's family was wiped out, which not only made the subsequent Kyushu conquest more difficult, but more importantly lost Hideyoshi's face.

Think about it, Hideyoshi came to help at the request of Otomo's family as a reinforcement, but as a result, the helper you invited not only failed to help, but also dropped the bowl for eating. Isn't Hideyoshi embarrassed as a person in the world?

The most important thing is that once the vanguard army was wiped out, even several daimyos died, and Xianshi Xiujiu actually fled back directly. How do you let the people of the world evaluate you?Are you still a samurai?

Perhaps in order to downplay the impact of this incident on Hideyoshi, Sengoku Hidehisa, a samurai with considerable influence in Toyotomi's family, has also deleted a few pens from his previous description, and even described him. Find it in other people's annals.

The Xiu family suffered from this poor information. In his impression, Xianshi Xiujiu was a softie who abandoned the army and had poor abilities. The Xiu family looked at him with prejudice, so naturally they would not take important The characters are handed over to him.

But the other daimyos don’t know. In their eyes, including Sengoku Hidehisa’s own eyes, they all think that Xiu’s family and Sengoku Hidehisa are at odds, and they began to alienate him with intentions. Of course, this scene also fell into the eyes of Ishida Mitsunari who was on the side and secretly Write down.

Now that the Xiu family is the general, how to arrange military affairs is a matter of one word. Although Xianshi Xiujiu felt a little wronged, he could only break his teeth and swallow it by himself, and retreated to his seat.

Xiujia then revealed his plan for the left side. The main composition of this part of the army is the troops under Xiujia's command. The purpose of Xiujia's formation is to gather the most elite troops to fight against Chang Zonggabu's family in Yiyu .

Just like Hidehisa Sengoku before, after Hideka arranged Masanori Fukushima and others to his own formation, Masanori Fukushima, Kiyomasa Kato and others also made thousands of requests to serve as pioneers.

You must know that the vanguard general was a member of the Hideo family, a member of the Hideo family. The reason for Hideo's arrangement is just like Naomasa Ii who fired the first shot of Sekigahara in history, holding the most important military exploits and fame. in their own hands.

All the daimyos present could see Hideka's arrangement, and they couldn't understand why Fukushima Masanori and others would dance and Hideya sang the opposite dance.

But when Xiuzai thought that Xiujia would refute Masanori Fukushima the same way he refuted Sengoku Hidehisa, Xiujia agreed to their request for the first time, and said to them with a smile
"Okay, since such a few adults will be included in the first line of the vanguard, and 1500 people from Nishio Tomohiko's upper right reserve team will be included in the main line, there is no problem, Nishio."

As a vassal of the Hide family, Tomohiko Nishio only has 1800 shi Zhixing. He is not considered a powerful wealthy family in the Uki family.

He replied very magnanimously, "Your Highness can do whatever you want, and I have no objection."

Nishio Tomohiko's knowledge generally highlights Fukushima Masanori's blatant provocation of Hideka's authority, and Hideka's attitude towards Fukushima Masanori makes everyone more convinced of the contradiction between Hideka and Sengoku Hidehisa.

In any case, the military meeting has finally assigned the task so far. After Hideka finished assigning the task, he pointed to Ishida Mitsunari who was sitting in the front seat and introduced to everyone.

"I think many of you here know this person. Lord Ishida is the one who was sent by my father to manage the military equipment. Afterwards, I will sit in the city of Guanyin Temple to coordinate the problems of various military supplies and military equipment. Everyone, if you have any shortages, you can ask for help. He claims."

Before Xiujia's introduction, many people noticed this strange seating arrangement. Ishida Sankai was not included in the Shikoku team, and he only had 2 shizhixing, and he had no official position, but he sat on the right hand side of the first row. The last one even sat in front of Masanori Fukushima and the others, causing a burst of sideways glances.

Now that I heard that General Hideka's post was entrusted to him, I understood the meaning. Even the stubborn Fukushima Masamori also understood that Ishida Mitsunari's management of logistics is fake, and his military supervision is true. He regretted his attitude towards him a few days ago, and was afraid that he would read his own book in front of Hideyoshi.

Of course, all of this is what Fuxiu's family is worried about. He just needs to do his own thing well, and he just needs to provoke the relationship between Ishida Mitsunari and his daimyo vaguely when he has nothing to do.

"Now the battle in Iyo is urgent. Everyone will go back today and sort out the armaments needed for the battle. If there is anything missing, you can report to Lord Ishida."

"Tomorrow morning, Asano-sama will set off first as the vanguard of the whole army." Speaking of which, Hideka raised his head and looked at Xiangxi Jiaqing who was behind and asked, "Xianxi-sama, is the Uomiyama Castle in the west of Sanuki still in the house of Changzong? hands."

Sanuki is a rare plain in Shikoku. Its national border is drawn according to the Sanuki Mountains. There is a 5KM-long mountain belt at the junction of Sanuki and Iyo. The mountain is only 5 meters away from the narrowest part of the coast. This is Yu Mizaki, the most important level on Yuzan Online.

This is the remnant of the Sanuki Mountains. Many hills of the Sanuki Mountains plunge into the sea here, making the terrain here divided into small basins. Uomiyama Castle is on the westernmost corner of Sanuki near Iyo. .

After Changzong's family retreated a year ago, in order to ensure the safety of the other three countries, Changzong's family defended this mountainous area. The Hideo family's offensive was difficult to take effect, and Hideyoshi urged the Hideo family to return. It became tasteless in the eyes of the Xiu family. After the Xiu family retreated, this became the only area in Sanuki that was not under the rule of the Xiu family.

After the Xiu family retreated, in order to strengthen the defense force here, the Changzong family built 4 large and small fortifications in a territory of only a thousand or eight hundred shi, and Yujian Mountain City was the first to block the Xiu family. a fortress.

As the daimyo entrusted by the Hide family in the Toyota area, Konishi Kakiyoshi's main task is to prevent the Nagamune family from coming out to attack Sanuki, so he is the person who knows the most about this area.

"It's because I didn't handle it well enough that I couldn't remove this stronghold for Your Highness for a year." Xiangxi Jiaqing pleaded guilty to Xiu's family.

Xiujia waved his hand, expressing that he didn't need to care, but suddenly thought that Xiangxi Jiaqing was blind, so he could only cover all his emotions in his words and stated to him, "Master Xiangxi, don't care, Changzong and our department strictly abide by the key points. It's not easy for the troops to defend the territory without losing it, so why don't you come and introduce me to Yu Buqi's situation."

"Yes, there are four cities in Yumizaki. The first city is this Uomiyama Castle. This is also the junction between the Sanuki Mountains and the Kannonji Plain. The Changzong family has added to it many times in the past year, and vowed to He built the first fortress of Yumizaki, and now there are 500 defenders in the city, and it is the Daping Guochang who is in charge of the defense."

"Daping?" Hearing the Xiu family's surname, he asked a little strangely, because he remembered that the current Daping family had surrendered to him.

"His Royal Highness Xiangchuan should know about this person of Taiping Kingdom." Hearing Xiujia's question, Xiangxi Jiaqing said to Xiangchuan Jingjing who was on the side.

"The Daping family is a powerful native of the Toyota Army, and owns many cities including Fujimu, Shishibi Castle, Honshino, and Daping City. Following the Changzong Gabu Moto's son Kagawa Nobuki into the successor family, Daping The Heike family was sent to serve under his command as a cavalry."

Facing Xiujia's eyes, Xiangchuan Zhijing could only bite the bullet and explain to everyone, "Your Highness last year sent Sanuki from the sky to suppress the dissatisfied strength in the collar. The Daping family was reduced to 2400 stones and used under the command of Xiangxi Temple." It's just that this Daping Guochang, originally from a separate family, refused to accept Wang Hua, and thought that His Highness had reduced his knowledge and deeds for no reason, so he took a few clan members and went away as a thief."

"Your Highness may not understand the myriad of things that are going on every day. At the beginning of the year, Nagamune moved his son Kagawa Shinwa back, and was given 1 shi of Iyo Kawanoe Castle, and he was responsible for the defense of Yukizaki's defense line.

Today’s Iyo-Sanuki border has two Kagawa families opposing each other. Of course, we all know that the main family is the orthodox one, and the opposite one is just an arrogance. I have long since denied that he is my adopted son. "

Kagawa Zhijing's answer was very eager to survive, and when he spoke, he would look up at Xiu's family for two or three sentences.

Xiujiaben also understood the situation, and didn't want to put too much pressure on him, so he signaled him to continue talking.

"For 1 shi, the maximum number of troops will not exceed 5000. Could it be that he put most of the troops in his territory on the first line of defense?" Xiujia asked curiously.

"As far as I know, the Daping Kingdom is often called Uomiyama City Lord, and there are no more than a hundred defenders under his command. Most of them are soldiers from Tosa, and they fly the banner of Changzong's family." Xiangxi Jiaqing continued to introduce arrive

"Not only that, but there are no fewer than 500 defenders in Minura, Chuanzhijiang, and Buddha Hall behind it, and the number of defenders in the entire Yukizaki defense line is about 2000."

"Hehehe~" Hearing that there are only 2000 people, and a single castle has only 500 people, Hosokawa Tadaoki, who is the vanguard of the whole army, laughed, and saw Hideka looking at him with a firm and confident face. Xiang Xiujia said, "These miscellaneous soldiers don't need the support of the rear team, and they can conquer the next city in the second half day. Your Highness and Master Asano just need to follow me to visit the beautiful scenery of the Sanuki Mountains."

"The defenders of Yuezhong must not take it lightly. If you know the ordinary city, it will be fine. The Sanuki Mountains are so strange and unusual, and the mountains have many bends. Those who occupy the right place have a natural advantage. I am afraid that they will go around from which mountain pass to launch a surprise attack. It is also the reason why His Highness did not choose the Sano line and the Ikeda line to attack Awa, for fear that there would be an ambush." ​​Kosai Jiaqing heard that Hosokawa Tadake was taking it lightly, and reminded him for fear that he would fall into a trap.

But his reminder turned into a mockery in the ears of Hosokawa Tadaoki, and more importantly, he is on the same level as the Hide family, and is also a Shimangoku daimyo of the Oda family, while Kasai Kasei is just a Sanuki local tyrant, He became a daimyo only with the help of Hideka, so he sarcastically said

"Then, please keep your eyes wide open, His Highness Kosai, let me show you how our Oda family fights, ah ~ forgot, your eyes are blind, I'm afraid you won't be able to see." Hosokawa Tadakashi broke his confidence It's a good thing, but one shouldn't ridicule other people's physical defects, let alone people with good intentions.

Hosokawa Tadakashi's ridicule caused a burst of laughter from Hashiba Daimyo, and Kasai Kayomoto reminded Hosokawa Tadake out of kindness, who would have thought that someone would use his disability as a mockery, which caused Ukita daimyo to glare at him for a while. .

Xiujia looked at the two sides who had begun to have a gap before going to battle, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, "His Royal Highness Xiangxi is a warrior I have always respected. Although he is blind, his military strategy is unmatched in the entire four countries. Puzzled, I also asked you for leave, saying that you are my teacher is not an exaggeration, because of your existence, Sanuki will not be invaded by the Changzong family, here I thank you on behalf of the Hashiba family."

Hideka's meaning is very clear, Xiangxi Jiaqing is my teacher, Hosokawa Tadaki, if you continue to laugh at me, you are laughing at me, hurry up and apologize.

Hosokawa Tadakashi joined the political family, he still understood what the Hide family meant, he stopped laughing first, and apologized to Xiangxi Jiaqing, "His Highness Xiangxi, thank you for your suggestion, I have offended you just now, please Forgive me."

"You don't need to worry about Yue Zhongshou, I'm blind." Xiangxi Jiaqing said generously, "Although we disagree, we are all dedicated to the public."

Seeing that the atmosphere had finally eased, Hideka said to Hosokawa Tadake and Asano Nagamasa, "Anyway, there is nothing wrong with being careful. It is better to wait until Asanoden's follow-up troops feel it before pulling out the castle. Anyway, the four cities are not far from each other, and after pulling out the previous city, it is just to use it as a fulcrum to attack the next city, Your Highness Xiangxi, you are responsible for arranging guides for the Hosokawa Palace."

"It's up to His Highness to decide."

"As the forward of our family, the Central Route Army will leave for Guanyin Temple Castle tomorrow, and will launch an attack on Uomiyama Castle in 5 days. The West Route Army led by me will start to leave in 3 days, and will be responsible for the mopping up of Higashi Iyo together with Asanoden. Work."

"Your Highness Miyoshi on the East Road, you don't need to go to Humaru to prepare first, in case the other side receives the news, take defensive actions in advance, and temporarily repair in Takamatsu until my order is issued."

"At that time, I will be in charge of attracting the main force of Nagamune's family in the west, and His Highness Asano will be in charge of attacking Nishi-Awa in the middle, and at the same time attract the attention of Awa's defenders. Then you will attack from the east and take Katsuzui Castle as quickly as possible. , Suppressing Apo's enemy army, you are the rare soldiers."

"Ha Yi, I will let His Highness see the bravery of the warriors of the Miyoshi family." Miyoshi Hideo originally lived in a precarious situation, and never thought that one day the Miyoshi family could be revived. Now that the Xiu family gave him this opportunity, why not excite him .

Seeing that the arrangements had been made, Xiujia announced the end of the meeting. After bidding farewell to Xiujia, all the daimyos went out of the hall in turn, but Xiujia left the daimyo under his command alone, and let the daimyo who had been sitting in the yard before The nobles in the collar went to the hall, preparing to hold another small meeting.
