Pillars of the Wu family

() On September [-]th, the Kira Army entered Iwafune County at the northernmost tip of Shimoetsu, extending from the Aganogawa to the northeast, along the way the Shinbata, Kadi, Nakajo, Kurokawa, Sebe, and Honjo clans , Ayukawa family lined up and extended to Dewa country. Their group of samurai is also called Yangbeizhong, also known as Agabeizhong.

This group of psoriasis-like local Chinese organizations exist in all countries. For example, there is a group of difficult and difficult Chinese people in Kinai. Usually, their knees are as soft as noodles and they kowtow to everyone, but if you provoke them, they will form a group. The swarms rose up to become the Yikui army, and Tu Yikui even the imperial shogunate did not recruit them. The people in these places are similar, and everyone has a good ability to entangle people. For example, the Yangbei people of Echigo are among them.

Among them, the more famous clans are divided into the Chichibu Party of Koizumo, the Miura Party of Okuzanzhuang, the Sasaki Party of Kajizhuang, the Daikin Party of Shirakawazhuang, and the old Shinda Party and Shinano Genji who are biased towards the Nagao family. Waiting for the joint formation of martial arts.

The main family of the Chichibu Party is the Honjo clan, and there are two other families, the Sebe clan and the Ayukawa clan. This family comes from one of the Bando Happei clan. After death, the head of the family was inherited by the Ashikaga family, and only then did the Ashikaga Hatakeyama family, one of the three leaders, come into existence.

The Nakajo family, the head of the Miura Party, has nothing to do with the family of Nakajo Tohide of the Kira family. The Miura Party is also one of the Bando Happei clan, and the family governor Nakajo Fujisuke is also the leader of the Yangbei Congregation In the samurai family, there are Kurokawa Mori Mimi, Kurokawa Kiyomi father and son clan who are in great turmoil, the Yoshie Kagesuke clan, and the Yamayoshi Masahisa clan who is close to the Nagao family.

The Daimide Party is spread all over Echigo, and its descendant is the Jo Clan, the Jo Masako who escaped with Okuma Asohide. He also became an honorable prisoner. There are the Kakizaki Kei family, the number one warrior in the seven counties of Echigo, the Yasuda Changhide family, and the Sugihara family.

The main family of the Sasaki Party is the Kadi clan, and the branches include the Shinbata clan, the Shikono clan, and the Takemata clan. Married to Kaji Chunzuna of the Sasaki Party as the main wife, and thus appeased the Yangbei people.

The old Shinda party is not a family, but the samurai clan of the southern dynasty to which Yoshisada Nitta belongs. Among them are the Oguni family and the Kanzao family who are close to the Nagao family, and the Jinjin family and Niijin family of the Shinano Genji family are also biased towards the Nagao family.

Except for these families, the Yamaura family of Shirakawa-so and the Sensaka family of Habamori Castle, although they live in the north of the Agano River, are not part of the Yangbei clan. The Yamaura family is a branch of the Echigo Uesugi family. The Sensaka clan is a concubine of the Inuken Uesugi family, both belong to the Echigo Uesugi faction and have a deep estrangement from the Yangbei people.

In fact, the Nagao family in Shimoetsu also has a territory, Zhixing, and the Nagao family is also a Kamakura party clan, one of the Hachihei families in Bando. The strength of the party even exceeds the combined strength of the Chichibu Party, the Miura Party, and the Daimi Party. Among them are the Chiaki Nagao clan, the Kamakura Nagao clan, the Shirai Nagao clan, the Sosha Nagao clan, and the Echigo Nagao clan, but The power of this family is scattered to the eight Kanto countries, and it appears to be much weaker. In Echigo, there is only Echigo Nagao.

Even so, Echigo Nagao still has branches such as Funei, Sanjo, Ueda, Qikichi, Shimoda, Zaotang, and Biwashima. Once the power of the entire Nagao family is kneaded together, its power can stabilize the Yangbei people. However, the strategy pursued by Changwei Jinghu is also a strategy to unite one sect and win over and divide Yangbei people.

From the moment Kira's army carrying the Ashikaga Erin and Two Reaching Flags entered Xiaetsu, the people of Echigo showed great enthusiasm. Xiaoguo Laijiu greeted them in person. Both of them were around 40 years old, and their expressions of excitement could not be concealed.

The pressure the two of them have been under for more than half a month is enormous, and some secret agreements reached within Yang Beizhong have also been learned from special channels by them, but even if they know, so what?If you are in this circle, you must abide by the rules of the circle. The same principle can be substituted into the circle of Yang Beizhong. The non-mainstream who belong to the Nagao family can do so much, unless they focus on making trouble with Yang Beizhong. Their family is not a good thing either.

"The victory of Wuwei Palace in China and Vietnam greatly boosted everyone's morale! It made many people more determined to resist the rebels!"

"Wuwei Palace! Should we go to war?"

The two who had been suppressed for many days were eager to fight at this moment, and Yoshitoki Kira said softly with Yan Yue: "No hurry! Let me talk about the situation of Nakajo Echizen Hall first?"

"Echizen-den's situation is fine! The Kurokawa family and the main family have been quiet for the past few days, and the Daibaoji family is stationed in the main family's Maizuru Castle, and there is no movement for the time being." The two did not say that it was because they were scared by the Kira army. Out of battle, the news that Kira's army had taken down two thousand troops lightly spread to Shimoetsu. Whoever dares to fight in the open field at this juncture is simply dying.

"Hide and be a coward? Do you think the family can't deal with you if you do this?" Kira Yoshitoki smiled silently. He burned Hojo Castle to half waste with only one fire, and double suppressed it with iron cannons and heavy rattan bows. With the current level of tactics, it is simply cheating. If he hadn't cherished his troops and was not willing to spend his life, Hojo City would have been captured early.

The simple welcome banquet was hastily held under the gathering of Xiayue people. In addition to the people in charge of the front line, Nakajo Fujisuke, Ayukawa Kiyonaga, and Riyamashiro, they also vividly described the situation of that day, how wise and decisive Kira Yoshi was. .

Anyway, the cultural background of these Yangbei people is the same, and in turn, only a few adjectives are used to use it. The Kira family felt nauseated when they heard it. After three years of training, I have never eaten pork and seen pigs running, so I have long dismissed such low-level flattery.

This not-so-rich welcome banquet ended quickly. Yoshishi Kira rejected those Yangbei people who were ready to flatter them on the grounds that they were tired from a long journey. These people just wanted to get closer. And how to train the elite soldiers, as for allegiance?They never said anything about it.

"It's good to hide! It's better to hide than to mess around."

For a long time, Ben said with a frowning face: "My lord! The traffic in Xiayue is not smooth, and the transportation of the Xiaotuhe team is really..."

"Is something wrong with the Xiaotuhe team?"

"Because there are too many swamps and terraces in Xiayue, our army's small pack load team is not familiar with the roads and almost elk, detoured a few times to transport troops and food, and was robbed by local servants and bandits. The light teams will be annihilated one by one." Echigo's territory is extremely broad, hundreds of kilometers from northeast to southwest, and its terrain is complex and covered with various landforms such as swamps, dense forests, hills, mountains, and deep valleys. From the Shinano River to the northeast, gradually The emergence of a large number of undeveloped lakes and marshes has brought great trouble to the normal march of the small Duohe team.

Yoshishi Kira went to the map and thought for a while, then pointed to a blue line on the map and said, "Change back to the boat! You can go directly to Hirabayashi Castle from Arakawa."

Following the place pointed by his hand, it was Arakawa at the northern end of Shimoetsu. This natural river divided the Yangbei people into two parts. The Ayukawa clan and other clans are located close to the Shonai of Dewa country, which makes this village have always been inextricably linked with the people of Dewa country.

Honjo Castle was originally named Wuzuru Castle, and it was originally the residence of the Honjo Clan's Ogawa Clan. Two years ago, when Honjo Shigeru was 13 years old, he presided over his father's No. 13 refusal of the Honjo Housemaster, and suddenly made trouble to kill his uncle Ogawa Nagako. , took advantage of the trend to seize the Wuhe Castle and renamed it Honjo Castle.

Attacking Honjo Castle is the core goal of this operation. The Kira family used this Arakawa to transport troops and rations to Pingbayashi Castle this time. What is Honjo Castle's attitude and position?

"Your servant understands!" Ben Duoshi nodded as if he had realized something, and hurriedly got up and left.

"Honjo Fancho, Sebu Katsunaga, Ayukawa Kiyonaga, the Chichibu Honjo clan is really troublesome, and the Yangbei people are even more troublesome!" Staring at the map for a long time, he couldn't bear it and ran back to his battalion commander Li .

After repelling the maid arranged by Kadi's house, Yoshiki Kira immediately relaxed. After so many days of running around and planning and calculating, it really made people feel exhausted. Fortunately, the bad situation was finally brought under control. This battle that broke out was an important battle to end the Echigo Civil War.

"Your Highness is tired! Chidai Nu can help you squeeze your shoulders!" The little loli with twin ponytails quietly emerged from behind him. Compared with the skinny little loli half a year ago, she has grown more than half her head in just a short time. It's not that little Lolita's nutrition couldn't keep up when she was a child, maybe she can also challenge 1.4 meters eight.

"Well, use some strength here!" The idiot Lolita not only grows much taller, but also grows a section of her hair. The two double ponytails are dozens of times larger than the pigtails when I first saw them, and they can already hang down to her shoulders. On quite a large scale.

"By the way, what do Chiyo girls usually do? They are always elusive."

"Now? Follow Your Highness, practice ninjutsu, eat and sleep!" The idiot Lolita's off-line answer is still powerful, and her little head will sway from side to side as the massage moves, shaking her ponytails to tickle his face , After a while, I gradually closed my eyes when I felt drowsy.

"Your Highness!"

"Well?"

"What happened to that demon boy?"

"...Didn't it be agreed that you can't ask Doraemonki questions before you go back? You've committed a foul again!" Yoshitoki Kira opened his eyes and flicked Chiyonna's forehead lightly.

"Oh! Then just don't talk about it! Why do you want to flick his forehead!" The idiot Loli pouted and rubbed her smooth forehead with displeasure. Are you going to fight together?"

"Ok!"

Mochizuki Chiyo tilted her head and looked at him: "When will those bad guys finish fighting?"

"This is a bit complicated, and I can't tell the exact number."

"Is it like the story of Doraemon? It will take a long time to know the result!"

"... In a sense, yes!" (To be continued.)
