different warring states of japan

Chapter 90
In Feitian Castle, not far from Sawayama Castle, Yoshihide Rokaku was furious.

"What on earth are you doing for food! If the army doesn't cross the river tomorrow, you'll have to cut through your belly!"

The lord of Feitian Castle Takanose Hidetaka bowed in front of her and hurried down to do things.

It's depressing to say the least, but it's the time when the spring tide hits, and the river has swelled especially badly this year.

Only halfway through the army's strength, the bridge was submerged, and Liujiao Yixian's main formation was blocked in Henan.

She could only mobilize the surrounding rafts to temporarily form a pontoon bridge, but it could be done in a while.

The army was blocked in half by the river, this matter can be big or small.Although Asai's family is huddled in the Sawayama Castle area, what if Asai Nagamasa rushed over.

Liujiao Yixian, who was in a bad mood, took the opportunity to vent and scolded severely, before she went on to work resentfully.

The Takanose family is also an old samurai family in this area, and their status is not low.When Liujiao Dinglai took down these counties, it was only the powerful warriors who appeased these localities that maintained their rule.

But who would have thought that Liujiao would definitely die, and Nan Jinjiang's master would be so merciless, and he would denounce him indiscriminately.

Hidetaka Takanose looked gloomy and gloomy.Looking at the north, I don't know what to think.

After she left, Shinto Kenmori, who was sitting by the side, spoke to Rokkaku Yoshinori.

"Your Highness, these warriors from Beijinjiang still need to be patiently appeased. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to be so strict."

Liujiao Yixian feels uncomfortable, but the current situation cannot tolerate her willfulness.Reluctantly pretending to be amiable, he nodded, looking like a corporal.

Since the incident of attacking and killing the shogunate envoys was exposed by the Asai family, Yoshiken Rokkaku has been under a lot of pressure at home.

Ben's group of retainers, who responded kindly to her succession, issued fierce criticism.

Because Makata Tsunaki stopped in time, the retainers had no real evidence to accuse the master.But the furious reaction from Ashikaga Yoshiki still caused her great trouble.

like now.The Liujiao family owns about [-] koku of Omi territory, plus part of Kita Ise's affiliation, and the commercial benefits of Lake Biwa.

How could only [-] troops be pulled out to attack Asai's family in the north?Because of defense generals?That's too much for Ashikaga Yoshiki's ability.

The shogunate is not of one mind, except for the general, no one wants to have a fight with the Liujiao family, and there is no benefit.

The fact is that the shogunate and the Rokkaku family had a serious confrontation because of Rokkaku Yoshiken's secret behavior.

In order to express their dissatisfaction, some retainers refused her recruitment on the grounds of guarding against the general's attack.This was the fundamental reason why she could only pull out [-] troops for the Northern Expedition.

In particular, the chief family elder Goto Xianfeng questioned the correctness of her Northern Expedition at this time, shaking her authority in the family.

But what can she do with Goto Xianfeng?Although the two vines of the Liujiao family are called together, Goto Kentoyo is much more powerful than Kondo Kenmori.

The retainers headed by Goto Kentoyo began to question the authority of the main family, which is a dangerous signal.

The guardians of various places lost their ruling power, starting from the loss of prestige at home and the loss of power, Liujiao Yixian had to guard against it.

What she can do now is to win this battle beautifully, at least let the Asai family continue to bow their heads.

Then take back the Ashikaga white flag and present it to the general, extinguishing Ashikaga Yoshiki's anger.

In this way, the Liujiao family can pass the test, and she can secure the position of family supervisor.

Such an important Northern Expedition was delayed by a day because of the spring tide, which made it impossible to cross the Aichi River. How could she not be furious.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Even if it is a day late, the Asai family will not be able to make waves. The army that can be gathered, Asai Nagamasa has already gathered.

This Zuohe mountain city is the death spot that Asai's family must guard, she can only bite the bullet and stand here.Our army has so many generals, she should be the one to worry about. "

The slow-talking woman is called Gamo Hyun-hide, and she is also an important figure in the retainer group.

She and Kondo Kenmori came to help the battle this time, which also meant to bridge the rift in the family.Goto Xianfeng is too hot-tempered, so it may be inappropriate to accuse the master like this.

The two of them followed Beishang, also wanting to help Liujiao Yixian win this battle as soon as possible, so that the family can be peaceful.Otherwise, the Liujiao family's internal fighting will intensify, and the family situation will be worrying.

Liujiao Yixian nodded.She understands the truth, but it's just worrying.Nothing goes well these days, and the most hateful thing is Mekata Tsunakiyoshi.

Even a young man can't clean up cleanly. He was ordered to go away to guard the back road of Sawayama Castle in this joint battle, and he fell out of favor completely.

After passing the Aichi River is Norada, and further forward is Sawayama Castle.

The Asai family's army has gathered in the mountain city, and as expected, the battlefield between the two sides is Norada.

Asai Nagamasa's army has been assembled, and intelligence from the south is constantly being sent in.

Knowing that Liujiao Yixian's main camp was blocked by the river and would be delayed for a day, she couldn't help shaking her head.

It's a pity, if it wasn't for the small number of people on her side, she would definitely pull up her army and rush to Aichi River right now, catching her by surprise.

But now the strength of Liujiao's army crossing the river is more than half, and now these reserve troops have already surpassed the number of Asai's family.

Sawa Yamashiro is still some distance away from the Aichi River, and after a long journey there, isn’t this a place to deliver food?

Seeing a piece of information, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing that she was still smiling at this time, Akao Kiyotsuna asked.

"Why are you laughing, Your Highness? Could it be that there is some good news?"

Asai Nagamasa shook his head.

"There is no good news, but there is one interesting news."

"Oh?"

Akao Kiyozuna became interested in what she said.

"Mekata Tsunakiyoshi was sent to the back valley road of Sawayama Castle, and was responsible for defending the back road of the Rokkaku family."

"Mekata Tsunakiyo? Is that the Lord of Mekada City who failed to ambush Shiba-sama?"

Akao Kiyozuna couldn't help laughing.This is called Encounter Road Narrow. The two had a confrontation once in Nanjiang, and this time they will meet again in Beijinjiang.

Although they were all thrown out by the main battlefield and dealt with coldly, it's really interesting to think about it.

"It seems that the hexagonal loyal dog has fallen out of favor."

Asai Nagamasa nodded.

"The Mekata family is about to fall."

In this battle, the Liujiao family had a big chance of winning. Liujiao Yixian threw Mukatian Tsunakiyo to guard the back road, obviously not wanting her to make meritorious service.

The spies on both sides have already inquired clearly about the battlefield, this is a clear game, and no one should even try to make small moves.

The two armies placed on the other side of the valley road are not so much another battlefield as they are upset, so they simply keep them away from the war.

The outcome of this battle has nothing to do with them, they just need to wait quietly for the result.

Sawa Mountain Castle Back Valley Road.

"Master Fujido, the number of people seems to be much higher than yesterday?"

After traveling with the formation for two days, he was in a hurry to join his reserve team.Last night, Yiyin felt tired and slept soundly, and only woke up at dawn.

How did he know that Fujido Tiger Gao became ruthless, and sent his daughter Gao Hu into the mountain overnight just after the meeting yesterday, and at this moment the army in the mountain has arrived one after another.

Hearing Yoshiyin's question, Todo Toraka said without changing his face.

"The people in the camp were the first to arrive yesterday. The mountain stream in the middle of the near river is difficult to navigate, and we have to guard against the spies from the Liujiao family. So the follow-up reserve team came late, please forgive me."

Yiyin looked at her speechlessly, telling lies without changing his face, you are amazing.

He turned his head and glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi again, seeing her winking at him playfully.

Yiyin lamented that it has been fifteen years, and he still doesn't understand what people in this world think.
