different warring states of japan

Chapter 169
The mountain where the Zahe party was stationed was chosen by Shigehide Suzuki himself after surveying the terrain.

There are straight cliffs on three sides and gentle slopes on one side.The gentle slope is also messy with miscellaneous rocks and cross-trees, it is a desperate place with no way out.

There is only a living spring on the mountainside, which barely makes sense to garrison troops.

If it is an ordinary military force, choosing this place as a garrison must be because the general does not understand the method of military formation.

Although there is a water source on the mountain, it is closed on three sides and there is no way to retreat. Once under siege for a long time, morale will collapse sooner or later.

But when the Shihe army entered Yamato, neither the shogunate army nor the Tsutsui family could threaten her.

Since the purpose of Miyoshi Yoshiko's northward movement was to lure snakes out of their holes, they must wait for help according to danger.

And the miscellaneous congregation ravaged the central and northern Yamato Kingdom, plundering countless grain and grass piled up on the mountain, and there was no shortage of food and water.

Facing the enemy can best reflect the advantages of the iron cannon barrage, in order to guard against the surprise attack of Junshan City.

Since there is no need to go out, there is no need to worry about being besieged for a long time.Naturally, choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and wait for the Shihe army to defeat the Tsutsui family and go north.

At the request of Shigehide Suzuki, the Zaga party reinforced the obstacles on the gentle slope, and the top of the mountain was the Honjin shogunate of Miyoshi Yoshiko.

This time Miyoshi Changqing had no choice but to send his prostitute daughter to accompany the people of Ji Yiguo, but he had to guarantee her safety, so he allocated thirty elite horses to her.

After Suzuki Shigehide received the news, he immediately issued an order for all the skirmishers to move closer here, then turned around and went up the mountain, begging to see Miyoshi Yoshiko.

Miyoshi Yoshiko was shocked when he heard that Iga's army had arrived.

"What! Why did the Yihe people fight for the shogunate? Is the news true?"

Shigehide Suzuki nodded with a heavy heart and said.

"It's certain. I have lost contact with the Chinese people in eight villages.

In recent wars, everyone who can participate in the war has participated.The only one who still has the strength to attack me, Zaga, is Iga.

Besides, to be able to kill more than one hundred and fifty of my Ji warriors silently must be ninjas who are good at assassination. "

Miyoshi Yixing sounds reasonable, but it seems that Shihe Yicun still miscalculated one thing.The Yihe people sent troops, not to help Miyoshi's family, but to stand by the shogunate.

At this time, it is meaningless to pursue these things again. The question is what to do next.

Shihe Yicun's strategy is to wreak havoc on Yamato in the central and northern regions, making the priest of Kofuku Temple unbearable, and issued a decree to force Tsutsui Junqing to fight.

The Shihe army has been fighting for many years. Once Tsutsui Shunqing no longer sticks to the defense line of the walled city, a rapid defeat is inevitable.

Now that the Iga army has entered Yamato, is the strategy of ten rivers and one existence still effective?Miyoshi Yoshihing was young after all, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Seeing her nervousness, Shigehide Suzuki said something expressionless.

"I have ordered the outsiders to move closer to me and shrink the army."

"no!"

Miyoshi Yoshiko shouted reflexively.Suzuki Shigehide's words made her tremble.

"The Iga people are ninjas who are good at lurking and assassinating, and scattered soldiers are dead. What's wrong with gathering troops, please correct me, general."

Miyoshi Yoshihing was at a loss for words for a moment.

What Shigehide Suzuki said was correct, but the strategy of Juhe Yicun was to ravage Yamato until Kofukuji couldn't bear it. This is the key to the quick battle in the south.

Shigehide Suzuki understood this strategy, as did Yoshiko Miyoshi, but they couldn't say it out loud.

Although the samurai society judges heroes and heroines by force, moral rules still exist.Some things can be done and cannot be said.

Slaughter villages, raid temples.This incident seriously penetrated the bottom line of morality, and it was an immoral thing that offended both traditional warriors and religious nuns to the end.

When Yoshiko Miyoshi asked Zahezhong to herd the sheep, Shigehide Suzuki could turn a blind eye because the people of the country were too poor.

It's rare to have a chance to earn a vote, and Miyoshi's family is the scapegoat, so naturally he pretends to be ignorant.

But the Zahe people didn't attack Xingfu Temple, is it because they observe moral integrity?bottom line?
That was Suzuki Shigehide's strict order!

Although Zahe's beliefs are consistent, they are incompatible with these traditional sects.But is it possible to destroy temples and Buddhas?
Once things get out of control and Xingfu Temple suffers a military disaster, it will be a big trouble.

The master of Xingfuji Temple belongs to the old school of Shingon sect, one of the mainstream of Buddhism, and the Nerai Temple of Nelaizhong is also the Shingon sect, although it is a new sect of Shingon sect that has been excluded.

Genlai Temple and Zahe Township each control half of Jiyi Country, named after Genlaizhong and Zahezhong.How do the servants of each village choose to stand in line?That is divided by religion.

Once Zahezhong massacres Xingfu Temple, who knows if it will arouse the anger of the new sect of Shingon sect.

Although the two factions have long since broken, it is sad for the rabbit to die and the fox after all.

There is no room for maneuver between the new sect of the Shingon sect and the Ichigo sect in Jiyi country, and civil war is inevitable.

The Miyoshi family is not clear about these religious contradictions within the Kii country.

This is the reason why Xingfu Temple is still safe and sound without any harm after the miscellaneous congregations have been raging for many days. It is an accident that Miyoshi Yoshiko and Shihe Yicun did not expect at all.

It wasn't important at all.Even if Kofukuji Temple is unobstructed, the prosperous places of Yamato Kingdom are all in the north-central part.

The Dharma master was not frightened by the attack, nor could he bear it for too long.Nuns also need to eat, and they also need land to support them. How can they endure their own land being wantonly run wild by miscellaneous congregations.

But the problem is that the Yihe army came too fast, and the Fazhu couldn't bear it, and they had already killed them.

Now Shigehide Suzuki is also numb, and staying in the north as a lone army is not in line with her always cautious character.

But Miyoshi Yoshiko is the nominal general of Zahezhong's army.His name is general, but he is actually a supervisor of the army.The Miyoshi family is still powerful, if they really turn against Zahezhong. .

Not to mention anything else, as long as he instructs Sakai Minato to cut off trade with Zaga, it will break Shigehide Suzuki's spine and let her experience Iga's life of hardship and embarrassment for many years.

Therefore, Shigehide Suzuki didn't want to turn his face, but just wanted Yoshiko Miyoshi to understand that there was nothing to be done, so let's retreat.

Of course Miyoshi Yoshiko understood what she meant.After all, Zahezhong is not a Chinese within the sphere of influence of the Miyoshi family.

If they really wanted to turn their backs, it would be very difficult for Miyoshi's family to punish them, so Huairou is the best policy.

Since the straggling of soldiers is no longer possible, at least Shigehide Suzuki must be guaranteed to remain alone in the north and not to retreat to the south.

As long as Zahezhong is still in the north, there will be a sharp sword hanging above the head of the Dharma Master.Sooner or later, she would still order Tsutsui Junqing to fight.

Because nuns are not warriors, they enjoy the privileges bestowed by religion, but lack the obligation to give back to the world.They are more selfish and cherish their lives.

"I was impulsive, Mr. Suzuki, don't take offense."

Miyoshi Yoshiko first bowed and apologized, lowered his posture, and then said.

"Gathering the army, standing firm and waiting for help, what does Lord Suzuki think?"

Shigehide Suzuki shook his head, it is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone.Just when he was about to speak, Miyoshi Yoshiko stopped him with his hand.

"Master Suzuki, please listen to me. My Miyoshi family is already the enemy of the Samurai family, and I know that you will find it difficult to accept what I say.

When I first saw you, I was also amazed.Unexpectedly, among the rude Chinese mercenaries, there are such expensive and famous people. "

Shigehide Suzuki narrowed his eyes, not knowing what Yoshiko Miyoshi was up to.

"The general praised you."

Miyoshi Yoshiko shook his head and said.

"I'm not talking nonsense.

To put it bluntly, aristocracy is practice.High-ranking warriors learn etiquette since childhood, so as to distinguish them from the people of the country, thinking that they are superior.

You imitate the poses of the famous family so vividly, you must have put in a lot of hard work, and you have practiced and suffered a lot, right?
Without the teachings of famous families, I must have taken a lot of detours by studying hard and practicing hard, and it is inevitable to be ridiculed. "

Suzuki Shigehide's calm expression gradually showed a trace of anger.

"Are you saying that I imitate and humiliate me?"

Miyoshi Yoshiko said sincerely.

"you misunderstood.

Who doesn't yearn for famous and noble people, how come my Sanhao family doesn't struggle like this, what's there to laugh at you.

I just want to tell you that no matter how imitative you are, you can't learn it well. You have to practice it from an early age. "

Shigehide Suzuki was irritable.

"what do you want to say in the end!"

Miyoshi Yoshiko looked her in the eyes and persuaded.

"Stay here, leave Zahezhong in the north, nailed here.

As long as the Miyoshi family wins this battle, I promise you as the legitimate daughter of the Miyoshi family.The shogunate will grant you the post of Guardian of Kii Country.

You will become the lord of a country, a noble family.Your descendants can learn aristocratic etiquette from an early age, and will no longer be like you, self-taught. "

Shigehide Suzuki's eyes were red, and his expression was uncertain. This always steady Zahe leader. .

Heart moved.

　Eyes are red, thank you
