A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The Hosokawa Saime Division and Nagano Yamasa Division, who had been trapped for nearly twenty days, finally reunited with Koheita.

It will stop just like in the TV series, you hold my hand and I burst into tears towards you. We talked to each other sincerely, referring to heaven and earth. What a great kindness we have, we will never forget it.

dream!

Both Kiso Yoshimasa and Nagano Yamasa knew that Koheita was now desperately trying to open a passage for them, but there were still more than 50,000 enemy troops and countless enemy castles and villages in all directions, so the fool stopped.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a short period of light after dark, everyone spread their legs and ran forward. The team could not be dispersed while running. Xiaoheita did not win a big victory, it was just a confrontation. If Masato Naito knew the situation and pursued them, something terrible might happen.

After running to Mount Ikuno, the battle basically came to an end. No matter which army they were, they slowly retreated and broke away from the battle. Obviously Takeda Harunobu's delaying tactics were successful. The Yamauchi army did not do anything to him, and of course he failed to trap Koshihata Castle.

Presumably, neither Takeda Harunobu nor Oishi Teru would be happy to see more than 10,000 people escape from the siege.

Before it became dark, all the armies retreated to the Tone River one by one, and the remaining Minawa, a thousand people who stayed behind, felt very good. Two more pontoon bridges were built, and people passed through the three pontoon bridges together. It was crowded without panic. Finally, everyone evacuated across the Tone River and returned to the camp on the north bank.

After fighting for a day, the men and horses were tired, and the camp was staggering around, filled with resting Ashigaru samurai.

The most surprising thing was of course Nagano Yamori. His father and several of his brothers-in-law ran back without incident. Although he was surrounded and attacked by several times the enemy force, he was frightened. But as long as people are fine, there is still hope.

What do you mean by that: The poorest person is begging for food, but you can always get ahead if you don’t die!

Nagano Minawa and other samurai bowed in front of Heita, and they all praised Heita's life-saving grace, which was unforgettable.

"I and the Nagano generals will never forget the kindness of Tanzheng." Nagano Yasumasa now escaped from death, tidied up his appearance, and came in person to pay homage to Xiaoping Tai.

"Sir, please get up quickly. It doesn't have to be like this. It doesn't have to be like this."

How could Koheita help Nagano Yamasa kneel down and immediately help him up? The two have known each other for ten years. It was right for Koheta to give him a hand, not to mention that Koheta's main purpose was to save Hosokawa Kaimee, so saving him was really an unexpected surprise.

After sending this group of people away, more than 9,000 people of Hosokawa Kainyu were resettled. They were all members of the family, and they didn't say thank you. Instead, Hosokawa Harumiya and Hosokawa Saime came to the shogunate in person.

"Xiao Pingtai, my father and your sworn brother were both saved by your efforts. I really don't know what to say?"

"Father, it's right for our family not to talk to each other. Besides, these are all villagers in the mountains. How can I not save them."

"It was my fault that I neglected you in the past." As she said this, Hosokawa Zaimeu actually knelt down.

"My sworn brother is devoted to serving the public, so how can we start talking about neglect!"

"Hey, Xiao Pingtai, please accept my bow."

Even Hosokawa Harumiya didn't say anything. She knelt down and bowed respectfully to Koheita while watching Hosokawa's wedding ceremony.

This kneeling, always kneeling!

Gathering the people's hearts, Xiao Pingtai began to listen to Pingliu's report on today's losses. There were relatively few personnel, with 70 dead and over 100 injured. For Yamauchi Army, it was just a mosquito bite and could be ignored.

"Zheng Zheng, there is something we need to pay attention to."

"explain?"

"Originally, the supply of military rations to the entire army can last for one month (thank you to the masters of Benzheng Temple for the friendly donation of 3,000 shi), but His Highness the Governor borrowed 700 shi. Now that Cainvhu has gathered, I am afraid that we will have to provide at most ten more Days, even seven or eight days.”

"Only ten days? (Only enough for the return trip)"

Kodaira took the book and read it over and over twice. It took eleven days to get here from Hamamatsu. Hamamatsu's food had been exhausted, and he did not rob Honjoji Temple, and he did not even have food for the expedition.

Later, the people of Yamauchi and Ina County donated nearly a thousand kilograms of rice and beans, which gave the 17,000-strong army the confidence to march to the Musashi front line.

Unexpectedly, after arriving, Uesugi Teruhu suffered a huge defeat and lost all his food, grass and baggage. After meeting each other, if someone asks to borrow food, Uesugi Teruhu's face will always be given, and he will definitely lend it to others. So there was another seven hundred missing, and there was nothing we could do.

"Can we still raise more money from behind?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. It will take a month for the summer wheat to arrive (the wheat in Shinano is a little later than in the plains), and there will be no food at home."

"What about purchasing with money? Can Shangzhou Yezhou think of a way?"

"Didn't Danzheng see His Highness Minawa's military rations?" Heiroku pointed with his eyes to the poor Nagano army in the barracks next door. If Nagano Ye was not poor, he would personally come to Musashi to rob him!

"If it really doesn't work, arrest randomly?"

Xiaoping asked devilishly.

"Hey, your highness will be in charge for one round, and Takeda will be feasting on you for one round. Are you sure you have the ability to dig deep into the ground like the two of them?"

Pingliu laughed awkwardly. These two seniors, Zhuyu, were in front of them. With Xiao Pingtai's abilities, there was no way he could compare with these two. His robbery skills are not fully charged yet, so he won't be able to do anything.

Looking at Tonegawa, Xiaoheitaya is a clever woman who cannot make rice out of thin air.

"Tanzheng, I have an idea." Aji, who was born in a wealthy family, suddenly said.

"Just tell me!"

"The banks of the Tone River are covered with lotus grass, which is actually edible."

"you sure?"

“When I was a kid, I didn’t have any food to eat in the spring, so I ate it all the time.”

"Go get two and I'll come over and take a look."

When Aji folded two pieces and brought them over, Xiao Pingtai immediately recognized them. Isn't this the Totoro!

It's a scene in Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro", where Totoro and the heroine are waiting for the bus at the bus stop, and the heroine's sisters hold an umbrella. And the thing that the chinchilla is holding looks like a lotus leaf, but it is actually not a lotus leaf, but a lotus grass.

Now is the time to pick and eat it, and I don’t know if this thing was born to grow for people to eat. The stems of the lotus grass are two meters long, and the grass blades are one meter and a half long and wide. No wonder even the Totoro in the anime They are all used as umbrellas. This thing is really big, plentiful and easy to pick.

The two-meter-long stem, once boiled in boiling water and peeled, tastes like celery, even with a little sweetness. No wonder Aji ate this stuff when he was a kid, it was really good.

A single straw can stop a hungry mouth, and there are tens of thousands of them on the north bank of the Tone River. It's a free gift.

Xiao Pingtai ordered the Jinfu servants to quickly collect lotus grass to make rice, first come, first served. The other armies who have no food to eat may also be watching.

"Danzheng! A man came from the other side of the river, claiming to be your old friend, and he came to stop the war."

"My old friend? Please come in."
