Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 64 Huiyuan's idiot's final plan

Digression: Some people do not quite understand why the 1.6 Yoshikawa Army did not dare to forcibly cross the Hino River to attack the divided Ukita Hideka, so I have revised the previous chapter and added the analysis.

————————————————————————————

Aside from Xinjian Jingqin, Xinjian Yoshiman came to Jialong City and successfully persuaded Jialong City Lord Date Xinheng to surrender. When the Xiu family came to Jialong City on May 5, Jialong City Lord Date Xinheng Heng and Xinjian Yoshiman are already waiting for Xiu's family at the base of the city.

When he saw Ukita Hideyoshi coming on horseback, Date Nobuyoshi first said to Hideo's luggage, "The guilty minister Date, I have seen Bizen Mamoru-sama, this is the dog Masahiro Date, I hope to join you The flag is prepared to serve the adults."

After all, a young man in his 30s was pushed out to salute Hideo, who temporarily handed him over to Suga Masatoshi to teach him after the school examination, while he himself led the troops to the city for repairs under the guidance of Nobuhiro Date.

With the reduction of the Kita Hide family, which owns most of Jedo-gun and the northern part of Aga-gun, the Date family, which owns the southern part of Aga and a part of Jedo-gun, has become the de facto mountainous area in the northern part of Bitchu with its total stone height of 5700 shi. The most powerful family.

Still the same sentence, productivity determines that it is impossible for the current Xiu family to implement centralization, and he must rely on the powerful family to defend the territory.This is why Xiujia must accept Date Nobuo's surrender.

Before the Xiu family repaired in the armor cage and waited for the Volunteer Corps to conquer Saida City, the Xiu family was preparing to temporarily repair in the armor cage.

Unknowingly, the strong men of Bizen and Misaku had been fighting for half a year. Although Hideo had taken turns halfway through, some peasants and soldiers who had not participated in the battle between Sanuki and Misaku were re-enlisted. The samurai class of the agency is indeed very tired.

Hideka knew that in the next year, they would also fight in Guinei and Tokaido, and they would not be able to return to their hometown after the Maori War as they expected.

The Xiu family, who felt sorry for the soldiers, decided to seize this period of time for the soldiers to recuperate. They gave a small amount of rice wine and roast meat for the soldiers to drink, and at the same time allowed the military merchants and women who had been strictly restricted by the Xiu family to come to Jialong. Let the soldiers relax enough.

And Xiujia himself also got a short rest in Jialongcheng Imperial Palace, strolled around the scenery on both sides of Gaoliang River with Xiaobaicai, and talked about the young love in junior high school.

On the evening of May 5th, it was time for Hideka to take an early rest, because Okatoshi had already sent the news that Saida Castle surrendered. They will come to Jialong tomorrow, and Hideka is also preparing to support at round 12 tomorrow. Afterwards, the Corps continued to march towards Songshan City.

However, Xiujia, who made up his mind to go to bed early, was awakened by the sound outside the door that night. He opened the door and saw that it was Date Xinheng's wife, Nian Ji, who brought their young daughter to visit Xiujia. He was stopped by the guards standing outside the house.

"His Royal Highness Bizen guards the well-being" Nian Ji bowed to Xiu's family.

"What's the matter, ma'am, it's so late?" The Xiu family was full of doubts about Nian Ji's arrival.

"This is Anan, a dog girl. I admire His Highness's majesty, and I hope His Highness will give you a plan to allow Anan to take care of His Highness." Nian Ji said here, saluting.

On the other hand, the 15-year-old eldest sister, Anan, also wanted to salute the Xiu family and said, "His Royal Highness takes me in as a concubine."

The Xiu family looked at the mother and daughter who came to visit late at night, and was at a loss as to how to deal with this matter. Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, the Xiu family had never encountered a situation where they directly came to see their daughter off.

He could only accept it relatively stiffly, and let her temporarily walk in the camp with the same clothes as Qing Ji.

It wasn't until later that Xiujia found her brother Nobuhiro Date and found out that Xiujia took a girl who was 3 years older than herself out of the way, which made the Date family think that Xiujia liked older, oriented handsome woman.

And his younger sister is not like an ordinary lady from the Warring States period, but she is such a girl who has been going up and down all the year round, and she even has a good naginata.After much deliberation, the Date family directly rejected the marriage with the Doi family, and gave the girl they thought was the most suitable to the Xiu family to get closer.

Xiujia is really helpless. He actually really likes the kind of straight girls who are full of green tea. He doesn't like these energetic girls at all. I'm getting old, if my subordinates don't send their sisters and daughters, will they send their mothers?I'm scared just thinking about it~~
The most important thing was that there was a sudden addition of warrior Ji in the army, which made Qing Ji, who had warmed up rapidly with the Xiu family, not polite to the Xiu family in the past two days, and made the Xiu family quite embarrassed.

--------------

Unlike Hideya who was worrying about housework here, Takakage Kobayakawa, who set up the main formation on the west bank of the Nagara River to confront the monkeys, had a gloomy expression on his face, regretting his actions two days ago.

It turned out that after receiving the letter forwarded by Xin Jianjing's parents, Takakage Kobayakawa immediately removed the seal, but found that all the contents on it were painted out with black pen, and there was no information at all except the title and signature.

Feeling puzzled, Long Jing asked his adoptive son (the black hat is equal to the relationship between adoptive father and son) Jing Qin said, "His Highness Bizen, apart from giving you this letter, did you say anything else?"

"His Highness Bizen said, Father will understand everything after reading the letter, and you know what to do." Xinjian Jingqin said truthfully what Hideka said.

This can't fix Kobayakawa Takakage, what do you mean I know how to do it, you can't see anything in your letter!
Although Jingshanyi last time did not make Long Jing look up to Xiujia, after all, Xiujia is only an 11-year-old boy. Long Jing looked at the blacked-out letter and thought it was a joke made by the boy. After thinking for a moment, Long Jing, who knew his nephew's character well, decided to burn the letter, causing misunderstanding.

Coincidentally, as soon as the flame touched the letter, there was a letter from a samurai outside the shogunate, and Mori Terumoto came.

"I heard His Royal Highness Ukita Bizen wrote a letter to his uncle and asked the heir of the Shinmi family to send it. I wonder if I can take a look at the letter and see what is written on it." Hearing his voice before seeing him , Mori Terumoto said in a bad tone before entering the curtain of the shogunate.

When he entered the door, he happened to see Long Jing actually burning a letter. The sensitive Long Jing wanted to rush forward to snatch it, but in the end he was a step too late, watching the letter being engulfed in flames.

Mori Terumoto frowned, and sat down on Long Jing's seat with an unkind expression, and Long Jing sat in the first place next to him.The two sat silently for a while, and finally Hui Yuan spoke.
"Why did uncle burn that letter, but what was written on it, isn't it convenient for me to see it?"

"That's not the case, it's just that there's nothing in this letter, it's just a joke about that ten-year-old doll." Long Jing shook his head and said.

Long Jing's answer was beyond Hui Yuan's expectation, he was even ready to be rejected by Long Jing, who knew that Long Jing would answer him like this, at this time, the words "baby" and "joke" in Long Jing's mouth were in Hui Yuan's ears, but it seemed to be Allused to laugh at him.

After hearing Long Jing's words, Hui Yuan's face became redder than before, and he snorted, and then he noticed the new Jian Jingqin standing behind the curtain, and asked, "In addition to giving you a letter, Bizenshou also told you What is it?"

Seeing Jingqin for the first time was a little bit awkward, because what Xiujia said to him was the same as Longjing, and Huiyuan was a little bit outrageous. The super small Hayakawa Longjing who couldn't help but look at him seemed to be seeking advice from him.

Seeing that Shinmi Keiko ignored his own words and instead looked at Kobayakawa Takakage, Terumoto's temper exploded completely, and he stood up abruptly, pulling out his sword, Banzhu Akamaru came to Shinmi Keiko and shouted

"I am the head of the Maoli family, and your Xinjian family is my retainer! Look at what uncle is doing! Let me tell you, what are you still doing!"

Mao Li Huiyuan's violent outburst startled everyone present. Out of the relationship between Wu Maoqin, Long Jing wanted to help Jingqin and comfort Huiyuan at the same time, but at this time Longjing's comforting words seemed to be in Huiyuan's ears. It's like covering up this person.

After repeatedly denouncing Xinjian Jingqin without saying anything, the meeting could no longer bear it, and brandished his love knife to kill the heir of the Xinjian family directly in the Kobayakawa shogunate.The blood donation splashed on his face, but it didn't calm him down at all, and he continued to ask Jing Zheng, his younger brother beside Jing Qin.

"What did Bizenshou say?"

Shocked by the scene just now, Jingzheng Xinjian revealed the Hide family's message in full: "His Highness Bizen said, Mr. Kosuke of the Ministry of Industry understands everything after reading the letter, and he knows what to do." After speaking, he fell to the ground and saluted , awaiting judgment.

After listening to Jingzheng's words, Huiyuan savored the meaning for a while, looked at his uncle Takakage Kobayakawa behind him, and then remembered that he was in the shogunate of Kobayakawa's family. stay home.

After calming down, Hui Yuan said to Kobayakawa Takakage, "Hahaha, Uncle, I'm afraid this is not a scheming scheme by Yuxi's family. My nephew is really young and inexperienced. He failed to control his emotions and killed a loyal minister and general by mistake. I also hope that uncle will not be blamed, don't worry, I will definitely appease Xinjian's family properly."

"At this moment, the enemy is in front of us, my lord, you should calm down and command calmly."

"What Uncle said is that the enemy is at hand right now. Our Maori family should abide by the teachings of our grandfather and work together to defeat the enemy. There are still important tasks in our battalion. Let's go first. Uncle please comfort the Xinjian family on my behalf. .Farewell"

Having said that, Huiyuan put away the version of Zhu Chimaru and left with his banner. Longjing looked at Huiyuan who was leaving. Although he felt sorry for his adopted son being killed innocently, if Xinjing's blood can promote the success of the Mori family governor. Long Jing is also very pleased to grow up.

Unfortunately, things backfired. In the afternoon, another samurai came to report that the Maori family's team had pulled out of camp and retreated.Mori Terumoto directly withdrew his team of 1.5 people from the Nagaragawa confrontation front line to Xingshan and Chausuyama Castle, which controlled Sanyo Avenue. No matter how much Long Jing persuaded him, he refused to go any further.

Helpless, Long Jing could only write a letter to his brother Yoshikawa Motoharu, so that he could quickly come to support.

Yoshikawa Motoharu, who was forced to retreat by the Xiu family in Boqi, wanted to take advantage of the time when the Xiu family went to Beizhong to launch a counterattack. Unexpectedly, Yonago Castle and Xinshan City, which were built to prevent the arrival of the Oda Army, were really strong and they were horns of each other. , can only be turned into a siege after the attempt fails.

Yuanchun, who received his brother's letter, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and his nephew left in a temper. The 1.6 Kobayakawa Army on the Nagara River front line will face the pincer attack of 4 Hashiba and Ukita Army.

Motoharu Yoshikawa, who is concerned about his younger brother and the great cause of the Maori family, decided to withdraw from the siege, and went to Bichu to support Longjing via Izumo and Bihou. Almost at the same time as Hideka supported the 7000 soldiers of the Corps in the round of the cage, Motoharu Yoshikawa was in Gassan Tomita City reorganized 1.3 troops again, and went to Beizhong after Beihou.
