A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The mud under my feet was so rotten that one foot was deep and the other was shallow. The straw sandals on my feet collapsed within two minutes. Xiaoping simply walked barefoot and observed the bloody battlefield just now.

At this time, the battlefield was not quiet at all, it was even as noisy as when the battle had just begun. Wounded soldiers from both the enemy and our side were everywhere on the ground, and there were all kinds of shouts and cries, gathering together.

When the tired and half-dead coalition soldiers saw the injured Hojo soldiers, they would look at the condition of the injured soldiers, and the lighter ones would save them and then sell them. As for those who were seriously injured, they would be killed with one blow. The heads were sent to their respective warriors in exchange for rewards. Money and rice were always worth it.

"Fortunately, it's not too late, at least we caught up!"

"A victory is a victory! It's a pity that I couldn't participate in the battle in person!" Kanai Meigoro didn't know how, but the pair of straw sandals were still intact on his feet and they were not stepped on.

"I wonder where Cai Nu and the others are?"

"The battlefield stretches for more than one mile and nearly two miles. We should be able to find it after a while."

"Send the order and contact all the detachments in the mountain as soon as possible!" Xiao Pingtai ordered Qigui who was following behind.

After about half an hour, Hosokawa Harime finally touched Taro Yamauchi's team. The image was not good, the helmet was missing, it seemed like an arrow had been shot in the thigh, and he was limping.

Together with Ogasawara Sadakei, Sanada Nobutsuna, and Murakami Yoshikuni, they came to pay their respects. Yamauchi Taro said a few words such as "Everyone will be rewarded for their hard work!" to appease them.

Xiao Ping Taize and his uncle licked their ears and asked carefully how the battle was going. When she heard that Hosokawa Saime said that he failed to attack Oishi Teru of the Hojo main team and had to retreat slowly, Mrs. Kodaira was really worried about him.

Later, Hitachi Makabe clan members and Tagaya Masakei rushed to the Yamauchi main team. When these two met Taro Shimomataro, they didn't say anything nonsense. They knelt down and saluted, saying, "As soon as Taro Shimomataro's heavenly soldiers arrive, the Hojo traitor will be destroyed!"

The nobles who came out of the country had actually wanted to rub their feet with oil for a long time, but they didn't expect that the situation of the battle would turn around miraculously. At this moment, one by one came to help the hero and looked at each other, but they did not forget the proper etiquette. Even the guardian of the field, Utsunomiya Hirotsuna, knelt down on one knee to pay homage to Taro Yamauchi.

Narita Nagatada, the lord of Ninja Castle, was considered a landowner and brought dozens of jars of fine wine to the Yamauchi Honjin. This is a vassal of Uesugi Kenshin. Uesugi Kenshin is Yamauchi Taro's biological uncle. He flew to Echigo to report the news, and at the same time he came to thank Yamauchi Taro for his great help.

Only little Yumizumi arrived late. You are an Ashikaga, and I am an Ashikaga too.

In terms of patriarchal clan, Oyumi Norisumi can still be regarded as Yamauchi Taro's biological uncle.

He was originally the general of the coalition forces, but now that he had won the battle, all the generals who were originally around him came over to pay homage to Mataro, and they didn't know what he was thinking.

The generals who followed him were very knowledgeable. They pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar, and knelt down without saying anything. Anyway, no one is kneeling. In the past twenty years, the people of the country have kneeled down to many elder brothers. They have gone back and forth several times, and this time is not missing.

"Your Highness!" Xiaoyumi Yaizumi thought for a while, then sat down on the ground, lowered his head and saluted Yamauchi Taro.

This sound is unusual for Your Highness! Others basically call him His Highness Shima Ma (a martial artist rank), or His Highness Habayashi (an official position in the imperial court), but only his little Gong Yaizumi calls him this way.

If the title "His Highness" is actually simply the meaning of young master, Yamauchi Taro is the son of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the successor of the Muromachi Shogunate's great general, and the young master of all the samurai families in the world. It is indeed a good name.

But Koyumi Yorijun was called that because he was the uncle of Yamauchi Taro, not because he was a daimyo who received assistance from the Yamauchi family.

Yamauchi Taro thought for a while, but did not answer and looked at Xiao Heita.

Fortunately, Koheita chatted with Hosokawa Saime and got to know the general situation. He learned that Hosokawa Saime notified Uesugi Kensei and entrusted him to pass a message to Uesugi Kenshin, saying that he was going to support Koyumi Norisumi to enter Furukawa as the Kanto General. .

Uesugi Kenshin actually supported the Ashikaga Fuji clan as the general of Kanto, but it was a pity that this man was short-lived and died!

Now, it is strategically in line with Uesugi Kenshin's interests to support Koyumi Norisumi as the leader of Furukawa. It's just that Kenshin Uesugi didn't support it. I don't know if Kenshin Uesugi would be dissatisfied.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for taking over the Kanto Ashikaga family, and I wish His Highness a long military career!" Koheita said an innocuous cliché.

But this is also very obvious. You just do your job as Mr. Furukawa. Our Yamauchi family will not do anything to you, nor will we ask you to bow down and be a little brother.

"My uncle came from afar and worked hard. He contributed a lot in this battle. Taro is very grateful!"

When Yamauchi Taro saw that Heita had admitted the established fact that Oyumi Norisumi succeeded Koga Koga, he understood what he meant and said such a meaningless sentence.

But Xiaoyumi Yaizumi was overjoyed, knowing that the Yamauchi family had publicly announced that they would not interfere in the affairs of his family, Furukawa, and would not force him to be the Yamauchi family's younger brother or let him bow his head to serve the Yamauchi family.

"If your Highness is wise and lucky, he will not fall into the prestige of the Prime Minister!"

None of the veterans present did not understand the relationship. They all saw that such a simple greeting just now determined that the Yamauchi family would not, or would not touch the Kanto forces other than Musashi in a short period of time.

The Yamauchi family itself has no claim to anything in Kanto. It is neither a general nor a leader of Kanto. It is too difficult to gain a foothold in Kanto, where honor and honor are extremely important, and it will be impossible in a short period of time.

What's more, Kanto is Uesugi Kenshin's sphere of influence. It is impossible for the Yamauchi family to greatly offend such a strong supporter like Uesugi Kenshin. In addition, he is also Yamauchi Taro's biological uncle and a strong supporter of the Muromachi shogunate.

Originally this year's battle was just to rescue Ueno, but now it would be fought like this, which no one in the Yamauchi family expected. More than 30,000 Hojo troops collapsed in the first battle. The specific outcome of the battle is still unknown, but Musashi Ikuni was like a boiled egg with its shell peeled off, white and tender, placed in front of the Yamauchi family.

Such a huge advantage is like a dream!

As for the other daimyo people who opposed the Hojo coalition, they originally listened to Sanada Masayuki's deception and came to eat Hojo's 10,000 reinforcements. They wanted to directly defeat the main force of Hojo.

The development of things is like a novel, and even more dramatic than a novel.

Now that the loot has not been obtained, and it is not time to hold a celebration party (spoils sharing party), Koheita announced on behalf of Yamauchi Taro that he would solve the two Hojo strongholds in front of him.

One is the team of more than 4,000 Hojo clan soldiers who stayed south of Hirai to organize the battlefield and treat wounded soldiers. Second, more than a thousand people from Yamakaku Shirozaemon's team who were stationed in Matsuyama pulled out these two nails, and Kitamushi changed its color.

There was no one present who would not agree. Who would not agree to go to the Hojo family to fight (and make a fortune)? However, after a while of humility, the general was replaced by Taro Yamauchi. Koyumi Yorijun was relieved, knowing that the Yamauchi family had a good diplomatic reputation and would not change their mind easily. At this time, the battle was won, and he was willing to hand over the command power that was not in his hands in the first place.

………………

After leaving the big tent, Hosokawa Tsaime grabbed Koheita and led a young man in his early twenties to introduce him to him.

"Heita-chan, this is Sanada Gentazaemon's third younger brother, Kihei Masayuki!"

"Oh? Kihei Masayuki?" Mrs. Kodaira couldn't help but take a serious look at the heroic young man in front of her.

"I remember... the sister of General Iekichi Kawabe of the 9th Division of the Flagship Division was raised in your home, right? Your family is a high-ranking family of Tsinghua University and a big family of the Fujiwara Kita family, so the daughter you raised in your family must be very good. Yes!" Hosokawa Kainyu was beaming with joy at this time.

"What?" Koheita was still looking at Sanada Masayuki.

"I think Kihei is very good, so I will discuss it with you. You also know that your sister-in-law just gave birth to a child, and my family has no daughters. Can you transfer that girl from your family to my name and marry her as my adopted daughter? How about Kihei!"

"No!" Xiaopingtai almost blurted out.
