different warring states of japan

Chapter 516

During this turmoil, the unrepentant warriors of the Matsudaira family, Mihe Ji warriors, were torn in half.

Some of them drew their swords against their lord for their faith, and some of them abandoned their faith for the lord's sake and vowed to die.

Just as Matsudaira Yuankang was frowning, Ji warriors who chose to remain loyal to her began to act.

Looking at Tadashi Sakai who came overnight, Matsudaira Motoyasu burst into tears and helped her up who kowtowed to the ground.

"thanks for your work teacher."

Matsudaira Motoyasu grew up as a hostess in the Imagawa family, and Tadashi Sakai went with her, and the pedigree family who never left her, the elder of the family, also took on the responsibility of teaching her.

In the early years, the Sakai family married the Matsudaira family, and the two families became relatives, and the Sakai family continued to have two branches.

One is the eldest daughter line of Tadashi Sakai, and the other is the second daughter line of Sakai Masaki, the lord of Nishio City, who have been loyal for generations.

Now Tadashi Sakai came to help, Masaki Sakai is also desperately resisting in Xiwei City.

As long as these two families are still fighting for the Matsudaira family, the behavior of other Sakai clan members defecting to the Ichigo clan will not shake the foundation of the Matsudaira family.

Sakai Tadashi said a few words of comfort to the lord, but before he got to the point, there was another commotion outside.

It turned out to be the Okubo branch of Kamiwada, Okubo Tadashi, and the Okubo Tadasa sisters came to serve.

Matsudaira Motoyasu held the hands of the two Ji warriors and was so moved that he was speechless.

Although the Okubo clan was rebellious, but the branch family turned to the lord, and Shanghetian was not considered lost.Matsudaira Motoyasu still has a chance to get Kamiwada back, get through the Yahagi River, and support Nishio Castle.

Before several people were seated separately, the door of the meeting hall was opened again, and the old minister Bendo strode in again and again.

Matsudaira Motoyasu said excitedly.

"Lord Honda!"

Honda made an apology to his lord several times in a seated position.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!"

Matsudaira Motoyasu shook his head and sighed.

"I'm very glad that you are willing to come. The Honda clan are all followers of the Yizong sect."

Honda said with an unhappy face many times.

"Wu family rewards the public and should serve the lord. Every Ji warrior should know which is more important!
I've already converted, and that idiot Honda Tadakatsu has changed with her too!
We are no longer disciples of the Yixiang Sect, we are the subjects of the Songping family! "

After finishing speaking, she fell to the ground and kowtowed again.Matsudaira Motoyasu patted her on the shoulder and sighed, not knowing what to say.

For a long time, she asked.

"Is there anyone else coming to the Ben family?"

A stern light flashed in Ben Duo's eyes several times, and he said bitterly.

"Shoshin Honda went to Honjoji Temple."

Matsudaira Motoyasu was disappointed, she just wanted to know Honda Masanobu's choice.

The Ben family is also a big family in Sanhe, and it has multiplied and divided into many families.

Although both have the surname Honda, Honda multiple times, and Honda Zhongsheng, Honda Zhengxin comes from different branches.

Honda Masanobu is famous for his strategy in Mikawa, he is a subject and friend of Matsudaira Motoyasu, and he knows her very well.

When Matsudaira Motoyasu heard that Honda had devoted himself to Honjoji Temple, he felt jealous and angry at the same time.

Fortunately, Honda and Tadakatsu Honda are still loyal to her, so the situation is not too bad.

she asked.

"Where is Zhongsheng Ji?"

Bento answered repeatedly.

"The Sakai Army of Ueno Castle attempted to cross the river in the northern part of the Yahagi River in Iwazu, and Honda Tadakatsu led his troops to resist."

Matsudaira Motoyasu frowned.

The outbreak throughout Xisanhe has always been consistent, and the goal of the Yikui crowd is very clear.Except for the Honjoji Temple in the south who besieged Nishio Castle, the rest of the Kui people were advancing towards Okazaki Castle.

On the east side, a congregation from Shomanji Temple approached, and in the middle part, the Kamiwada Okubo sect rebelled.

Today, the Ueno Castle Sakai Army in the north intends to cross the river from Iwazu. This is to encircle on three sides and attack Okazaki Castle.

Motoyasu Matsudaira lost his mind for a while, so he asked Zhongji Sakai for advice.

"Teacher, do you see?"

Honda and the Okubo sisters are both generals, and Sakai Tadashi is the head of the pedigree family, excellent in both civil and military.

she said decisively.

"First defeat the nuns at the Shengman Temple, and then take the Okubo sisters as the vanguard, take back Kamiwada, and force the Okubo clan to surrender."

Matsudaira Motoyasu hesitated.

"What about the Ueno Sakai army in Iwazu?"

Sakai Chuji said coldly.

"Let Honda Zhongsheng stick to the ferry. Even if all the members die in battle, they must not retreat. Buy us time."

Matsudaira Motoyasu was very embarrassed, and looked at Honda multiple times.

The veteran also nodded and bowed.

"Master Sakai is right, the enemy army is approaching from three sides, and this is to encircle Okazaki Castle.

We must take the initiative to attack and defeat one or two groups first. As for Honda Zhongsheng, let her be loyal to the lord! "

Matsudaira Motoyasu sighed and ordered.

"Let Zhong Shengji stand guard for three days, and I will allow her to retreat.

I led my troops to Xiaodouzaka to block the nuns of Shengman Temple, and I also asked Lord Honda and Sister Okubo to go to Kawada together to take back this place.

please! "

She bowed to several important ministers sitting here one by one, and they were all moved by the kindness of the lord.

Matsudaira Motoyasu gave Honda Tadakatsu a way out, which was to reduce his room and time for manoeuvre.

She chose to divide her forces and attack on both sides. This is a risky move that increases her own danger.

As a lord, it is also touching to be willing to do this for his subordinates.

Matsudaira Motoyasu was also helpless.

Since she was a child, she was fought over by the Oda-Imagawa family, and spent most of her life as a hostage girl. To Samurai Nishimikawa, she is also an outsider.

Although they admit that the Matsudaira family is the main family and are willing to be loyal.However, Matsudaira Motoyasu lacked a group of direct ministers, and the retainer group of the Matsudaira family was too powerful.

The Honda family, the Sakai family, and the Okubo family are the descendants of the descendants. Matsudaira Motoyasu has no confidence to fight against them, so he can only woo them to appease them.

He wants to use them to open up territories, gradually develop his own power, and stabilize the Songping family's position.

Therefore, I always broke out and took away half of the retainers, scaring Matsudaira Yuanyasu enough.

Because of this, she can't listen to Sakai Chuji's advice and just sit and watch Honda Tadakatsu die, which will affect the perception of her by the pedigree's retainers.

The Xisanhe people participating in Yikui this time are mainly composed of three parts.

One is the Sanhe Sansi of Yixiangzong, and the nuns and believers under their control.

The second is the old ministers of Imagawa who remain in Xisanhe. These people contribute to the flames and have ulterior motives.

The third is that half of the retainers of the Songping family followed Yixiang Yikui to revolt.

Matsudaira Motoyasu's own strength is too weak. If she wants to gain the favor of Matsudaira's vassals, she must treat them differently.

Attack Yixiang Zongni soldiers, wipe out the former officials of Imagawa, and win over the Matsudaira retainers who surrendered the rebellion.

Matsudaira Motoyasu sighed, the mother was weak and incompetent, leaving her a mess.

She can only grit her teeth and endure, and play out the bad cards in her hand one by one, so that the Songping family can survive in this troubled world.

After confirming the strategy, she didn't hesitate anymore. She led the troops out of the city and marched towards Xiaodouzaka with Sakai Chuji.

On the other way, Honda led the Okubo sisters several times to kill Kamiwada.
