When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Rock Temple Village, Duru County, Kofi, early October, 2015

"I'm sorry. Tokugawa was given more soldiers than we had in the house."

Yaro Sawajito lowered his head in a bloody tone. Himiya Hyogo Head, Goro Kanemori, and Hirohiko Takikawa right guard looked faceless, followed by Fujiyaro and lowered his head. Hiya Hyogo has a head injury to his arm and Goro Kinmori has a head injury. Blood seeps into the bandage and is painful. Looks like it was a terrible loss.

There was a rock palace castle in front of me. It's no different from Iwakan Castle I've seen before. But there are no more Tokugawa soldiers in that castle...

"No, it's up to me to apologize. I'm sorry I'm late."

"It is not the fault of Mr. Oyato or Mr. Oyato. If there wasn't even a flood..., we'd have made it."

Maeda and Left Guardmen said with regret. I couldn't help my brother Fujiyaro, I guess that's what you think.

"Left guard again, no consolation needed"

"Dear Mr. Yakusha, what is..."

"Tokugawa used the rain. I couldn't predict that. No, it was too late when Hansan pointed it out and noticed. That's what I'm saying."

Another left guard bit his lip and leaned down. Half a soldier is also leaning down. If I could have advised you a little sooner, maybe that's what I'm thinking.

This long rainfall caused flooding in the Fuji River and the Kokusawa River. Because of this, water overflowed a wide area of Giamma County from Kofu. The water replaced the streets with muddy soil and the marching became difficult. I didn't make it, the flood was slightly quicker. No, if you were hit by a flood during the march, there could have been tremendous damage. I might have been rather fortunate not to make it.

Tokugawa emitted his army as if he had anticipated the flood. Perhaps he was releasing the middlemen for what they deserved. The old Takeda sneakers, they could have assumed how much rain would have caused the flood. And if there is a flood, it is difficult to move the army in Kofi. In other words, the Decaying Wood Army surrounding the Rock Palace Castle is isolated without hindrance. Kofi read that the offense would be reversed.

"I'm sorry. We were born in Kofi, but this time, we were late to realize it. If only I had noticed a little earlier now..."

"Truly faceless......, I'm just embarrassed"

Yanjiro Asari and Left Gate, the sweet home, apologized. I told him not to worry about it, but it stays dropped. I thought I lost again.

Four thousand Tokugawa forces led by Kofisho Tokugawa over Sagami were attacked by decaying trees surrounding Iwakan Castle. We also need soldiers to defend the model. Given that, four thousand would be the best possible force. But Tokugawa put it out even during the agricultural breeding season. Tokugawa's martial arts, trust falls to the ground in the sight of Iwakan Castle. We must help the castle soldiers of Iwakan Castle at all costs. It was an impossible battle.

Castle soldiers from Iwatani Castle also responded to reinforcements. Neglected Decaying Trees were attacked from front to back, confused and defeated. There are about a thousand casualties, not even unilateral battles, but a small number of casualties, probably because Tokugawa gave priority to rescuing the castle soldiers over defeating the decaying trees. Maybe he thought I'd come if he stayed longer. Tokugawa Shigei retreated to Sagami with the guards of Iwata Castle. It wasn't until five days had passed since I came here... You shouldn't, you have to work for the injured.

"Hyogo Head, Goro Hachi, it looks like you're hurt, but is everything all right?

"It doesn't matter!

"It's in the plunder wound! We can fight right now!

Hyogo Head, Goro Hachi answered forcefully.

"You're reliable, as long as you're comfortable. But heal your injuries first. It's a shame they got away with it, but they pushed Tokugawa to the scale. There is no place to go to Tokugawa anymore. Next will be a battle of proportions."

Everyone nodded.

"Nevertheless, using rain is a pragmatic tactic, quite something. You can't be alarmed."

Everyone nodded at the words of Shibata Kwon Six. I felt like I was being blamed for my immaturity. Kofi has floods, water damage. Why didn't you put more emphasis on that... I was watching Takamatsu Castle water attack with my father's Maori attack... I've lost that experience.

He weighed down the river and used the rainy season to sink the castle into the water. Isn't it the same to use the river and rain? Fighting isn't just about letting soldiers fight. I was taught that using terrain, weather and nature is one of the battles... It missed a thousand opportunities to destroy and weaken Tokugawa. No, on the contrary, it has increased the authority of Tokugawa......

He is a father who can't rely on the fact that he will have a child soon. Let's not worry about Natsu either.... a proportional attack would be extremely difficult. That should be enough casualties. Especially these people, who could be out of line with snowflakes. We have to pay attention to the area...... I have to report it to my father and apologize. Start over.

Mid-October (1582) Hachinojo, Hachinocho, Hachinocho, Hachinocho County, Kogae

"Jiro, I was really surprised when I received a report from the right guard that your father had been injured. Are you ready yet?

"As you can see, it's nothing."

"But he said he was stabbed in the stomach"

I'm looking at this one with a face my son seems worried about. The gaze of the attending Kurono Reizo, Nagazo Miyauchi, Hirai Kaga Shou, Hitoi Soichi, and Sekigi principal taxes will be concentrated. I misled by raising my voice and laughing because it smelled a little lighter.

"The big butcher is worrying. Even though he was stabbed, only a little blade touched his belly. It's a loose wound."

"That would be nice..."

"It was wrapped around the clasp, it's no big deal. Besides, he's only eleven, and he's weak. I was surprised, but I didn't take care of it."

The big meal doctor tipped his neck.

"Is it a clasp?

"Well, there's a suspicion that the Footlookers might assassinate me. I didn't think the left horsehead would do it the most on that occasion. I thought once again the ministers of footfall would come after me... but it helped that I was wearing a clasp just in case."

"I see, on your left."

Nodding. Seems convinced. But then he said, "Please refrain from imposing."

I feel like I've been cared for by everyone lately for some reason. Jiro's right guard also flew from Ozhang to Kyo. Together with Goro Tanyu and Yoshiro Kishita. Well, Goro Left and Fujiyoro also wanted to report on the progress of the castle. Finally, the landfill of the wetlands north of Nagoya Taiwan seems to be over and about to enter the territory. Jiro Right Guard also said that every day is fun. You're right to get it out there.

Bulletin Matsunaga and Shimamoto Uchito also came to visit. We're both old. My hair is so white. They were both delighted that I was safe. They both looked complicated when they said that the left horsehead might have a belly cut. For both of us, Yoshiaki Furi is not an unforgivable being, as would his son Left Horsehead Righteous Seeking. But Sanoko Chikuma is drawing blood from her mother. The left horsehead is his cousin. There will be something that cannot be broken easily.

… well, the blood of the ankle is also flowing in the thousand bear circles. Sooner or later, let's think about letting the descendants of Thousand Bears Maru inherit the footprint. Bullet Zheng, from the prefectural guard, received the engagement celebration of Tsuru and Kingai Prefectural Group. Now Chikuma will have connections with Decaying Wood, Uesugi, and Kingsguard. I want you to be a solid man. Sanho is never big, but it is a very important house with territory in Kichinai and strong ties to Matsunaga and Uchido. Let's also strengthen the connection between Matsunaga, Uchido and Decaying Wood. By doing so, it is necessary to relatively dilute the ties between Sanko, Matsunaga and Uchido.

Akechi Shinobei came from Anyun. As soon as I saw his face, the back of his nose hurt a tung. I almost burst into tears, but I managed to indulge myself and heard directly from the Ten Guards about Anjin's situation. I still don't have enough people. It seems that there are quite a few people who followed Maori to get rid of the Gatekeeper, and when he took Anjin from Maori. I'm actively letting people in, but it's still not enough.

There is also the reality that people are declining nationally as a result of the war. It's not going to be easy. In the attack on Kyushu, the Ten Guards will have the people of Anjin fight together. You seemed happy to say that. I asked about the situation in Shikoku, and it is the decision of the Ten Soldiers that it is becoming unstable. Sometimes the family members of the Hitachi Guardian fall into Anjin. I asked him to accept it again.

"Father, I'm sorry. Even though my father broke his bones, I let Tokugawa take over Iwakan Castle. Couldn't prevent complimentary stuffing. It's not up to me."

The big meal doctor bowed his head. Stay down. My shoulders were shaking a little. My chest hurts, my first son in this world is suffering. I panicked when I was about to catch my sigh.

"Heads up, big meal doctor"

"I don't know..."

"Then we can't talk."

I cursorily raised my head when I dared to urge him in a mild tone. I thought you were having a hard time. My uncle has a painful look on his face. My grandson is struggling, naturally. I remember your grandfather. Sometimes your grandfather had a similar look. Against Yoshihui, against me...

"I know what happened. You've successfully used the rain by Tokugawa."

"Yes, thoughtlessly"

The big butcher bit his lip.

"You waited a little too long."

"Have you waited too long?

The dining doctor gave me a look that seemed surprising.

"Um, it was too advantageous. Defeat Kofi in the showdown. If you beat Kofi in the showdown, the situation will change at once, you can raise your martial name, that's what you thought. So I waited for the reward to come out. I was too bound by that. Didn't I?

"It may be," replied the dining doctor in a small voice.

"I'm not aiming bad. But don't just wait for them to come out. You should have waited under pressure."

"... is it pressure..., that we should have sent soldiers out to Tokaido?

"What, don't you understand? You don't have to beat Kofi, Doctor Daikyo. I don't even need to drop the castle. But if you send troops to Tokaido, you can't ignore Kofi Shou, you have to deal with it. It would be more frustrating for Kofi to worry about what to do with Iwata Castle."

"Indeed."

The dining doctor nodded.

"If that were the case, Kofi Shouxi might not have been able to send out soldiers in full consideration. We can't break the siege without soldiers."

"I see."

"Well, I'm done saying that. If I was in that position, I might have waited the same way. I think I've had a good experience without worrying too much."

Wouldn't that be comforting, the look on the face of the Big Dinner Doctor remains sinking.

"Kofi, it's quite a tactic. No, is that tactical? Thank you. You look like a brilliant fling."

"Hakumi, are you in"

"Uhm."

He looks strange.

"He would have been cornered and gone crazy to death"

"Maybe so"

The dining doctor nodded. There are places like that in Jiayang. The first start is never fast. It's too late to see what's happening around us. Ask around because of the weak forces. But when he is cornered, he goes into a rash of flatulence. In historical fact, the battle of the Tripartite Gahara, in this world, the killing of Nobunaga in conjunction with Hojo, and this hindsight......

"I may be clapping out that I've gone too well by now. Or are you inspiring your surroundings by saying you're lucky..."

"Some are not blessed with martial arts"

He had a bitter voice. It's not the voice of a young man before twenty. I'm overwhelmed. I deliberately raised my voice and laughed at him.

"Stop laughing."

"... stop laughing, are you in?

I'm surprised, better than depressed.

"Oh, if Kofi Shou is inspiring his surroundings by saying he's lucky, etc., it's just a laugh. It is the same thing to say, Doctor Daikyo, that it would be less fortunate to have martial arts. I don't know anything."

……

"Look, do you have a future for Kofi? Lost value and pushed into Sagami One Country. Aizu's asparagus name is very unreliable. How do we keep Tokugawa's house up ahead, how do we make it bigger?

……

"Do you have Odawara Castle? But what good does that do? Kofi Shou can't leave that castle anymore. If you leave, you will be crushed, or you will be deprived of the castle. Just like Hojo once did. I have no choice but to stay in that castle for fear of it. Where is the future of Tokugawa, Doctor Daikyo?

"I see," muttered the caterer. Heavy Zao, Kosuke Miyauchi, Uncle's Palace, Soichi, and the Lord's Tax are sneering.

"It's pathetic if Kofi is inspiring the surroundings with it. Let Kofi himself bite that pity."

……

"You said you were underprivileged by martial arts, Doctor Daikyo. I was definitely rewarded. I got about a thousand casualties. But he moves nearly 40,000 soldiers. This defeat is nothing but a looting wound. It's just like my belly wound. If it doesn't hurt, it will itch. No, is it slightly itchy? What do you care?"

"It's..."

It's bad for dead soldiers, but that's the truth. No, I can't fight if I don't think so. To command you to fight is to command you to die. The guy who made it home alive just happened to be lucky.

"I've never lost that one. I guess that's why I feel so heavy about this defeat. But you have to be cool when you lose. If you calm down, you'll know it's no big deal."

"… but let's not think we can rely on something around us. I'm sorry for your loss."

The dining doctor poured out tears.

"Don't cry"

……

I won't stop crying.

"Don't cry! Think when you have time to cry! Show everyone that Dr. Decaywood can't be defeated or anything! That would be the Admiral!

He was yelling at me unexpectedly. I stopped crying. He's looking at me.

"Doctor Daikyo, you were a deliberate greeting, a courtesy. But I'm fine. Don't worry about it. I'm glad you're filial, but I'm worried about you."

"... Father"

The diner is staring at me.

"It's good to go back to Sun Fu. There are those who wait for them. Be more anxious that you don't."

Now I turned my gaze to my uncle, not me. I saw my uncle nodding slightly.

"I have a new brother, a sister. Look at your face."

"Yes."

"Take care of Natsu. You must be anxious about your first birth."

"Yes."

"Care for me is useless. Do as you wish, and that's what they can do."

"Yes."

No, you can't. I have no power at all in my voice.

"I will send soldiers to Kyushu. Perhaps Kyushu's peace will be over next year. After that, I'm trying to figure out how politics works under the sky."

"How does politics work under heaven, is it?

"Mm-hmm. I'll hear what he thinks then. Please, he'll take over after me."

"Ha."

Finally, my voice is back in strength.

My uncle talked to me when the dining doctor stepped back in front of me.

"Do you have an itch?

"There are some parts of it. I have nothing to worry about this defeat. There's nothing like the Decaying Wood family shaking at this level of defeat. Wouldn't it?

Everyone nodded. I didn't suffer a great defeat like the Battle of Nagashino. It's not like Hideyoshi Tokugawa didn't make it to the showdown.

"I know you're doing well. I think you're making it hard, pathetic. But you have to bear it. If you think so, I don't know how to speak. He was yelling if he noticed."

I accidentally sighed. My uncle looked at me in pain. No, Shirazo, Kosuke Miyauchi, Soichi, and the main tax were looking at me with the same eyes. Am I as pathetic as I am?

"... the Great Hall has never lost. If you're in your room, you'll be worried about losing, no matter the size."

"My uncle, I may never have lost, but I have felt bitter many times. Sometimes I'm not happy I won."

His persistence burned his hands at once. The boiled water was consumed many times by Ise's Kitami. She was injured in her work before she was ready. Yoshihui, I was just frustrated by Yoshiaki's selfishness. In the matter of Tosa......, I don't even want to recall. It hasn't been easy.... I didn't have time to cry in the past. There were enemies all around. I grew up and didn't have to cry. That's all. But I guess I don't see that part. All I see is the gorgeous part.

Kofi Shoujiakang Tokugawa, or Shibuki, the load may be heavy. But little by little, we're pushing. You just have to attack without hurry. In sumo, there would be a difference between the horizontal outline and about ten pairs. Any time you lose your strength...

"Uncle, I need you to write a sentence from your uncle to the diner."

My uncle turned a blind eye when I asked him to.

"How about you write it yourself?

"I don't know what to write. Whatever you write, I don't feel like I can do it for you. Please."

"... ok"

My uncle nodded. You have to endure, you have to endure...
