Chapter 1431 The Nine Generals of Jinduo Palace

The main body of Yamato Kingdom is composed of the Nara Basin in the north and the Kii Mountains in the south.

Although the southern area is vast, it is the Yoshino and Kii mountains with low agricultural value, and most of the population is concentrated in the northern Nara Basin.

Between the Nara Basin and the Kyoto Basin, the Ikoma Mountains and the Kasagi Mountains are divided from east to west. From the Kyoto Basin along the Kizu River between the two mountains to the south, there is the vast plain of the Nara Basin.

The plain area of ​​the Mahira River is the most suitable defensive front, which is the side of the Kasagi Mountains near the border of the Iga Kingdom.

There is a group of Yamato Buddhist temples enshrined in Nara for generations. The predecessors of the Iga congregation were the woodcutter mountain people who served the temple order.

The Tamon Mountain Castle of Shiba Yoshiyin is strictly a part of the Kasagi Mountains, not far from Kofukuji Temple.

At this time, Shiba Yoshigin had just crossed Sanmu Mountain and headed towards Duowen Mountain City.

After overseeing the retreat of all parties on Mt. Hiei, Yoshigin descended from the east side of the mountain and entered the Kyoto Basin through the Sakamoto Exit. He deliberately bypassed Kyoto and went south. He did not want to pass by the troublesome shogunate center.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Nijo Castle was severely punished by Oda Nobunaga, and the imperial court bound the general's hands and feet like ropes.

Now she is holding on to everyone like a life-saving straw, refusing to let go.

Nobunaga's siege net brought Oda Nobunaga bad luck, but the prestige of General Ashikaga's family also suffered greatly. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's approach is actually harmful to others and not beneficial to anyone.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has already been tricked by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and Yoshigin doesn't want any unpleasant accidents to happen when passing through Kyoto.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's nonsense siege network made Oda Nobunaga disgraced. If Yoshigin had contact with Ashikaga Yoshiaki at this time, would Oda Nobunaga in the sensitive period think about it?

Yoshigin didn't want to tear himself apart with Oda Nobunaga, so he simply avoided Kyoto and didn't give Ashikaga Yoshiaki a chance to make trouble.

Although it was a bit of a detour to walk from Sakamoto Exit, Yiyin led the concentric group to hurry on the road without much delay.

Along the way, he also received a lot of good news.

Akechi Mitsuhide's diplomatic work in Kyoto was very successful, and it was indeed a correct decision to send her back to Kyoto.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was persecuted by the concubines of the shogunate, so he could only abandon Miyoshi's family and deny the existence of the imperial book.

Matsunaga Hideo convinced Araki Murashige's Settsu people, and Ninagawa personally persuaded Hatano Hideji's Tanba people, and the northern flank of Miyoshi's army had all become allies of the Shiba family.

Maeda benefited quickly mobilized five thousand and nearly a few Sibo to lead the army, and Nizi Katsuhisa's logistics work was in order.They also contributed to the end of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family's internal strife and unanimity to the outside world.

And Yiyin himself did not expect that the retainer who did the best work this time turned out to be Takada Yono.

This little girl is very serious now.

She almost asked Ishiyama Honganji to give up its neutrality, and used Zagashu to protect the interests of the Shiba family in the Settsu country, and hired Nerai to pull the entire Kii country to the Shiba family.

Sure enough, money can really do whatever it wants.

The most important thing is that Takada Yono took advantage of the discord within Miyoshi's family to reach a private tacit understanding with Miyoshi Yasunaga and Ataka Nobuyasu.

When the battle broke out, the two Miyoshi family bosses suddenly turned against each other, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu had a lot of fun.

The last time Miyoshi invaded, the Miyoshi family under Miyoshi Changqing was mainly divided into Miyoshi, Awa, Sanuki, Awaji, and Settsu.

At this moment, the Settsu group left Miyoshi's house, and the Miyoshi group and the Awaji group were about to fight back. Only Shinohara Nagabo led the Awa group and the Sanuki group to fight foolishly in the two countries of Izumi and Kawachi.

Yiyin couldn't help sighing, this is still a p.

The Miyoshi family under the command of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is torn apart. Once Miyoshi Yasunaga and Ataka Nobuyasu turn their backs, the entire Miyoshi army may collapse at any time.

Maybe, Takada Yono will get the first prize in this battle, and Yi Yin doesn't know how to reward this little girl.

Yoshino Takada's skills are all in business. Traditional samurai actually despise Ji samurai who are not high-ranking warriors. Yoshigin can't give much.

She has managed all the business and town affairs in recent areas, and she is in charge of the Hokuriku Road trade route by herself.Yoshihiro really doesn't know how else he can promote Takada Yono, it feels inappropriate at all.

Yiyin was thinking about something on his mind, when Gamo's Xiang Dama behind him approached and said.

"Your Majesty, look ahead."

Yiyin looked up, and there was a group of Ji warriors waiting on the side of the road ahead. Judging by the family crest of the banner, it should be Maeda benefit from the collar of Shiba.

he asked in surprise.

"Have we arrived near Duowen Mountain City?"

Gamo's hometown replied.

"Your Majesty, I have just passed Mujingawa Castle, and it is still half a day away from Duowen Mountain Castle."

Yiyin pulled the reins and slowed down the horse, and the people around him quickly slowed down.

Maeda benefited with a smile like a flower, rushed forward quickly, and bowed deeply to Yiyin.

"Wan An, Jin Duo Hall."

Yi Yin got off his horse and threw the whip to Gamo Clan Township, stepped forward to help Maeda Yili up, and asked with a smile.

"Why are you waiting for me here?"

Maeda benefited his eyes intently, staring at Yoshihiro's face.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much.

I was overjoyed to hear that Your Majesty has returned. I felt itchy and unbearable, but I was a little far away from welcoming him. I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish me. "

Yiyin laughed dumbfounded, patted her on the shoulder, and said affectionately.

"What about punishment? I don't like to hear that. I miss you very much too. I just asked one more question because I was afraid of delaying your business."

Maeda benefit smiled.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that in the past few days, the leader of Sibo has worked hard and will never let you down."

Yi Yin nodded and said.

"The red leaves are in full bloom in late autumn. If you walk with me, it can be regarded as the completion of this year's red leaf hunting."

Maeda benefit bowed.

"As ordered."

The two walked in front and back, and the two groups of Ji warriors behind them followed at a distance, allowing them to chat slowly.

After walking a few steps, Yiyin glanced sideways at Maeda Yili, and found that she was staring at him with a raised face, and couldn't help laughing.

"What are you looking at?"

Maeda benefit sighed.

"Your Majesty has grown taller again."

It was only then that Yoshihiro realized that he and Maeda Yili were standing together, and they had indeed opened up again.

The two have known each other for more than five years. Yiyin has grown from a fifteen-year-old boy of 160 centimeters to a young man who is now nearly 180 centimeters, which is not much different from the 183 centimeters in his previous life.

However, Maeda Yoshiki is the normal height of Ji Wushi. Although he has grown slightly in recent years, it is only about 165 centimeters.Yiyin stood beside her, as if he was more than a head taller.

In this world where women are superior to men, men are born to be physically dominated by women.Common people are malnourished, and few people exceed 150 centimeters, and men are about this height.

Compared with the men in this world, Yiyin is really a giant like no ordinary person.Moreover, his body proportions are perfect, his limbs are slender, and his temperament is dusty.

Not only does it not give people the oppressive feeling of a giant man, but it is elegant and outstanding, with a faint sense of an inviolable god descending from the earth.

Maeda Masayoshi sighed from the bottom of his heart, the lord is becoming less and less like a person.

And Yiyin was pulled into the memories of the past five years by her words, and he really experienced a lot.Playing with his heart, he gestured with his hand to show the height of his interest with Maeda, and said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm really not used to how you turned into a dwarf, Yiyi."

Maeda Yoshiki chuckled and said with a little melancholy.

"Where is it that I have become shorter, it is that you have become tall and mighty, like the reincarnation of a god, not like a mortal person."

In Maeda's heart, he was always uneasy about Yiyin being deified by public opinion.

She was really afraid that Yiyin would be coerced by secular prejudices and would never return to the secular world for the rest of her life. Could there be hope for her fate with him?
Suppressing his uneasiness, Maeda Masayoshi said with a smile on his face.

"That's not what I said, and now people all over the world are saying that you are the incarnation of Bishamonten, the guardian of Buddhism, the god of war of the samurai family, and the god of wealth for merchants.

A while ago, the Tiantai Sect sent the Guangming Nine Virtues Armor with great fanfare, and I went to the side of the road to watch it.Sure enough, it is an unearthly Buddha treasure, Master Jueshu is really willing to give it away, I feel pain for her when I see it. "

Yi Yin shook his head and sighed.

"She didn't give me a Buddha treasure, she put a high hat on me and put me in shackles.

You have never seen the nuns of the religious group of Enryakuji Temple in Mount Hiei. Sooner or later, this group of arrogant fools will make worse things happen.

Venerable Jueshu is planning ahead, and wants to use Bishamonten's Buddhist Dharma protector status to tie me up, so that I can give her another hand next time. "

Maeda Masayoshi laughed.

"She seems to be a Daoist Goni, she is a good dealt with ghosts, and she never suffers.

Master Changjue of Xingfu Temple is also flattering you. I heard that she issued a decree with great fanfare, asking Tsutsui Junqing to send troops to participate in the war against the Miyoshi.

Things that are not done by lip service, these Daoist Gaoni are handy in doing them, always thinking of letting others beat them to death, so that they can enjoy peace forever.

Niziji has enshrined nine sets of large armor Buddha treasures in the Jinduo Hall of Duowen Mountain City, and I am so greedy to see them.Since you don't care, why don't you give me a set? "

Yiyin was taken aback and smiled.

"It's an ancient large armor, it's useless except for being gorgeous, and it can't be used in battle, so it can only be placed at home as an offering.

Every year, you have to spend money to hire a skilled craftsman to paint it to prevent rust, and the maintenance fee is quite a lot. Do you really want to take it back as an offering to your ancestors? "

Maeda Yoshiki stuck out his tongue.

"Then I can't afford it, I'm very poor.

Your Majesty might as well give me a set, and I won't take it back, but put it in the Jinduo Hall for maintenance. "

Yiyin stopped in his tracks and glanced at her, seeing that she really meant it, he scolded with a smile.

"Benefits, you have become so stingy now."

Maeda benefit shrugged, said helplessly.

"I have spent a lot of money in the past few years in order to build the Iga Ueno Castle Military Station and strengthen the military strength of the past few Shiba.

Not only was he poor, but he also owed Ni Ziji a p share of debt that he hadn't repaid, so how could he have any spare money to raise Buddha treasures.

As you said yourself, those nine sets of Buddhist treasures can’t be used on the battlefield, so it’s useless for me to take them back, but if they can be enshrined in the King’s Jinduo Hall, it will be my supreme honor.

Emperor Guangwu had twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, and Emperor Taizong of Tang had twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. Don't you want to imitate the sages?

These nine sets of big armored Buddha treasures are also kept, so it is better to take them out and use them as waste.The Nine Gods of Jinduo Hall sounds really good. "

Maeda Yoshiki spoke with his eyes shining, and kept encouraging him.Yiyin heard it funny, but there was something in his heart.

But now that the Shiba family has a big business, the balance of power among all parties must be carefully considered, and Yiyin will not make a decision rashly just because of a momentary impulse.

He said.

"Wait, stop, you know that you covet my set of bright nine virtues armor, and you can tell a lot of truths. I really can't say no to you, let me think about it carefully.

You can be regarded as a big name now, and you don’t know how to be more prudent in doing things. The name of the Nine Gods of Jinduo Temple is as strange as the name of Guangming Nine Virtues Armor. It makes people feel hairy and embarrassed to death. "

Maeda Yoshihiro grinned and lowered his head, but Yi Yin saw the sadness in his eyes.

Yiyin's heart tightened, and he sighed secretly.

Of course, he was very aware of Maeda's depression.Since the decline of the Liujia family, Maeda's interests have been useless in the past few days in Sibo.

Although she has [-] stones of knowledge and practice and [-] stones of Sibo's material, she can be regarded as a prince.But she was bound tightly to the border of Jinjisi, and she couldn't make any progress.

He is obviously a talented and outstanding general, but he can only watch Yukimori Yamanaka, Katsumo Shima and others working hard in Kanto, while he is wasting his time in troubled times.

After finally meeting Ashikaga Oda, he was in turmoil recently. Just as he wanted to make a move, he was overwhelmed by Akechi Mitsuhide in the name of the lord, so he could only stay in Iga country and continue to feel aggrieved.

Yiyin understands the pain of Maeda's interests, but his path of peaceful development will not waver.

Although Akechi Mitsuhide is a bastard, she is a bastard who follows her own strategic intentions. It is impossible for her to help Maeda benefit suppress Akechi Mitsuhide.

In terms of strategy, Yoshihiro agrees with Akechi Mitsuhide's prudence and opposes Maeda's aggressive advances.

Because it is not Kanto in recent days, the Sibo area is currently on the strategic defensive of keeping a low profile and making a difference.

It is impossible for Maeda Yili to be the deacon of the Kanto waiter like Yamanaka Yukimori, and Shima Katsumo as the chief of the united front. They are all flexing their muscles in Kanto.

He is obviously a general, but at the peak of making contributions in troubled times, he is nested in the neck of Sibo and moldy, no one can figure it out.

But Yiyin couldn't do anything about it. He seemed to have high prestige, but after the Sibozong family was wiped out, there were not many people he could really trust.

Maeda Yili is the earliest Ji warrior who followed him. He is also a teacher and a friend, sharing the same bed.

Handing over the military affairs of the recent Shiba to Maeda Masaki, she can make Yoshihiro feel at ease in terms of loyalty and ability, and other people are really not as easy to use as her.

But by doing so, Maeda's interest is indeed wronged, and it is uncomfortable to raise dragons in Wang Bachi.

Yiyin looked at Maeda Yili, and recalled that she took her to hunt the evil party, taught herself to kill and fight, followed her to Luo, had sex with her, and dedicated everything to herself.

Raising his head, Yoshihiro sighed, he decided to compensate Maeda's interests, and he shouted to Gamo's village and others in the distance.

"I'm a little tired, let's rest for a while before leaving."

"Hi!"

After finishing speaking, Yoshigin took Maeda Yoshiki's hand and led her to a tree. The two sat side by side, looking at the guarding Shibajiahime warriors in the distance.
