A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 188 Sanyun Xianchi
"My lord, please forgive me for the delay." said the heroic young general Masa Isono, who was dressed in military uniform.

Asai Nagamasa waved his hand: "No need to be polite, Mr. Yuan Chang has been able to fight against the Rokkaku family for many years on his own, which is rare in the entire Nippon."

Although he guards Sawayama Castle and has many years of combat experience, in fact, the current Isono Tamashiro is just a young military commander in his thirties.

In Asai Nagamasa's view, the other party is similar to Endo Naotsuke and Asai Ryochika. They are both retainers of the family who deserve to be vigorously cultivated. The reason is only that they are still young.

Although Hai Chiyu and other three veterans also have extremely rich combat experience, they are already old and weak, and they have many old injuries, which has seriously affected their performance.

It's okay to sit in battle and command in Xiaogucheng, but it's really difficult to ask them with old arms and legs to send out troops on expeditions, or even go into battle to kill the enemy.

Even if it weren't for Akao Kiyosuna's strong request this time, and there were rumors among the people that the other party had some blood relationship with the family, Asai Nagamasa might not have been willing to let the other party go out in person.

Although the veteran general is too old to kill anyone with a sword, it is still a good thing to stay at home and teach some young samurai military skills.

Isono Yuanmaasang once again handed over his hand: "I will never be ashamed of myself, because I have the full support from behind."

Although the former daimyo Asai Hisamasa is cowardly and incompetent, one thing is commendable, that is, he still has some experience in logistics, and he is also quite generous. The supplies that should be given to Sawa Yamashiro have never been withheld. Ye Yuanchang barely tolerated the other party's shortcomings.

But when he decided to surrender to the Rokkaku family, Isono Danmasa couldn't bear it anymore.

Outsiders only know that he has been fighting against the Rokkaku family all year round and has kept Sawa Mountain Castle from falling, but who knows how many familiar faces he has died at the hands of his enemies?How is it possible for him to surrender to the Rokkaku family!

Fortunately, the new daimyo has taken office, and he has just seen it very clearly in the city. With those iron cannons and those elite soldiers, with such power, the lord's ambition will definitely not be limited to Kitaomi. Maybe I finally have a real use for myself!

The veteran Akao Kiyozuna next to him looked at the main battlefield with a face of relief, especially the more than 1000 elite infantry. How many years has it been since the family has not won such a hearty victory?
I believe that under the leadership of the Lord, this will be just the beginning. Maybe after this battle is over, I will also promote the Lord's decree!

Order the infantry led by Shima Sakon to take a break temporarily to recover their strength. The follow-up Naotsu Endo, Ryo Asai and others led the ashigaru to clean up the battlefield and take the prisoners. Nagamasa Asai asked the captured Miyun Xianchi, who had a higher status, called over alone, intending to ask for some information.

As for the young master of the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Yoshiharu, because he resisted too fiercely just now, he was beaten up by Kizo Yuuri and Baigo Kaika together.

Although they restrained themselves and did not kill each other, injuries were inevitable. Now they are wailing and receiving temporary bandaging treatment. At least they should not let him die from bleeding. He is worth more than a corpse alive. Much higher.

Sanyun Kenchi, who was escorted over, was startled when he saw all the samurai looking at him with bright eyes, but when Asai Nagamasa gave him a seat, he immediately understood , the other party is interested in his residual value. It seems that what he has done before has indeed attracted the attention of the other party.

But there was no way. When the two generals were begged for it one after another, and when he realized that the powerful weapons were the same kind as those used by the Zaigashou of Kii Province, and there were so many over-elite ashigaru, he knew that this was the case. The outcome of this battle may not be determined yet, but I am definitely in danger here.

So he had no choice but to make a choice, whether to die here and let the family decline rapidly, or sacrifice the honor of the warrior so that the family can continue to maintain?

This was not a particularly difficult choice at all. I was still thinking about how the two brothers would roam the battlefield together after my brother's next Yuan server. How could he die here!
After a few polite words, both sides knew what the other was thinking, so when Asai Nagamasa tried to ask about the deployment of the Rokkaku family's troops, Miyun Kenchi pretended to be twitchy, and then quickly revealed all the information .

"Your Highness Asai, Yoshihide-sama is currently divided into two groups. He will personally lead the main force to attack Takamiya Castle, while the other group, led by Lord Kamao Kenhide, will build a dam around the river and prepare to flood Hiden Castle."

While talking, Migumo Kenchi secretly glanced at Asai Nagamasa.

He had heard to some extent the dissatisfaction of the two city lords with Lord Yixian, but he still didn't quite believe that they were brave enough to dare to openly rebel.

Therefore, the most likely possibility is that the Asai family promised something, so they dared to resist even after Master Yixian summoned an army of [-].

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for him. If the two city lords dare to rebel in this situation, the rewards promised by the Asai family must be extremely generous. Now that he is the first to surrender to the other party, he may also benefit a lot. shallow
Upon hearing this, the military advisor Numata Yumitsu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, while Asai Nagamasa became slightly interested in the name Kenhide Kamata.

The Kamao family is also a retainer of the Rokkaku family tree. The current head of the family, Sadahide Kamao, and his son Kenhide Kamao are both good samurai. Mainly because they have brains and have read books. This is already better than most samurai, but the most powerful He is also the son of Pu Sheng Xianxiu.

The little carrot head who should only be a few years old now will show abilities far beyond his father in the future, and will even be praised as "Nipeng Qilin'er" by good people. If compared to the Three Kingdoms, this is a little Jiang Wei, and he is also A truly outstanding warrior with both civil and military skills.

Noticing the gaze of the military advisor next to him again, Asai Nagamasa changed his mind: "Okay, thank you Migumo-sama for the information. I have long heard that there are two outstanding brothers in the Migumo family. I wonder if Migumo Kenchi-sama is willing to serve in the military." My family?"

Before knowing that the war would definitely begin, Asai Nagamasa asked Ningning, Xiaonai and other ninjas to collect a large amount of information about the outstanding samurai of the Rokkaku family, and the Mikumo family was certainly no exception.

The Sanyun family was originally one of the 53 families of Koga, and originally represented the many forces in Koga and joined the Liujiao family. Therefore, the previous family governor also became one of the six elders of the Liujiao family.

It's just that Rokkaku Yoshiken quickly overpowered most of the forces in Koga with his own strength and skills, and selected some wealthy families to give them the so-called sentiments, dividing them and winning over many people, until in the end, Koga became the one who only wanted to A ninja who serves the Rokkaku family.

Therefore, the role of the Miyun family will undoubtedly be much less, especially after the death of the previous family governor, the Miyun family has become increasingly weak.

So when Mikumo Kenchi made such a strange move on the previous battlefield, Asai Nagamasa was just a little surprised, but not really shocked, because the Mikumo family actually suffered a lot from the Rokkaku family. Oppressive.

It can only be said that there is a big difference between Rokkaku Yoshiken and his own way of treating his ministers. He is too attached to the land and farmers. Once a warrior has no use value, he immediately becomes much meaner. This is because they stand on The height is completely different.

Therefore, it is not completely incomprehensible that Sanyun Xianchi immediately surrendered on the battlefield when he saw that the situation was not good, and betrayed his young master very decisively.

The current head of the Migumo family is Migumo Kenji, and he also has a younger brother, Migumo Nariji, who has never served in the Yuan Dynasty. These two brothers are not particularly well-known warriors. They may be inferior to the novice Iakaya, but At least it's no problem to command hundreds of people.

And after all, they are one of the 53 Koga families, so they will not waste food by accepting them as their subjects.

Miyun Kenchi was shocked when he heard this. Although he knew his brother's power, he was still in Yuanfu. He had always kept a low profile before and did not have a great reputation in his family. Unexpectedly, His Highness Asai in front of him said it straight away, and It also seems very confident, rather than just flattering?
This really surprised him.

Thinking back to the fact that the ninjas that our family had stationed in Odani City before were completely wiped out without a sound, Miyun Kenchi couldn't help but think about it.

Maybe the Asai family already has a real ninja, but it has never been revealed. If this is really the case, the other party must have big plans!
Thinking of this, Migumo Kenchi no longer hesitated: "Yes, I am a defeated general. I am truly grateful to be spared my life by His Highness. I am willing to be loyal to the Asai family and the lord."

"It's just that my family and younger brother are still within the Rokkaku family. If I go out openly,"

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but laugh. This guy was very quick to adapt to the wind, and he called his lord directly so quickly.

In this case, maybe his actual ability may be stronger than what he estimated before, at least smart enough. Generally speaking, smart people have more advantages no matter what they do.

"Okay, Xianchi, I'm very pleased that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light. For the time being, I will grant you the position of infantry general of my family, commanding a hundred people." "In this battle, you will be responsible for cleaning the battlefield from behind and gathering the prisoners. Once the Rokkajia family is defeated, After that, you have more opportunities to play.”

Sanyun Xianchi was immediately overjoyed, thanked him profusely, and then left first.

Of course, because he was still a hostile party before, even though he surrendered now, Asai Nagamasa did not trust him so easily. He sent some samurai called deputies who were actually supervisors. Mikumo Kenmochi also knew this. I understand it and have no objections. This is a matter of course.

During the Warring States Period, in order to facilitate rule, even if the daimyo conquered a place, they would usually continue to use local people to rule. Therefore, those samurai who surrendered generally did not suffer particularly harsh treatment, but they still needed time to prove themselves. strength and loyalty.

Asai Nagamasa turned to look at the military advisor: "Yuguang, what do you think?"

Ever since Migumo Kenchi said that the Rokkaku family was building a dam around the river and trying to attack Feitian City by water, the other party looked very excited and seemed to have some special ideas.

As expected, Numata Yumitsu really has an idea.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has carefully studied the many terrains of the Liujiao family. Of course, the Uzen River and Aichi River near Feitian Castle can be used to carry out water attacks, but this time is in the late summer and early autumn. Once there is heavy rain, it will cause When the autumn water floods, the dam built by the Rokkaku family may not be able to stop it."

"Even if we do some tricks, maybe we can in turn launch a water attack on the Hexagon Army!"

Having said this, Numata Yumitsu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Since ancient times, when two armies have been fighting, water attacks and fire attacks are extremely powerful, but in most cases, it is difficult to get the opportunity to use them. After all, no one can accurately predict when the wind will blow and when. How much rain it rains.

Moreover, a fire attack would almost certainly leave a bad reputation, and a lot of the wealth stored in the city would also be lost. Therefore, few warriors would be willing to do this unless necessary.

But now, if the lord is here, maybe things will become completely different.
Although he came into office late, so his contact time was relatively short, and he did not see many times when the lord personally showed his power. However, based on various rumors among the people, Numata Yumitsu quickly made bold speculations and proposed such a strategy. .

After all, the legendary Onmyojis are not just about using shikigami, drawing talismans and making spells, they can also control the wind and rain!
Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "You guy, you actually want to treat me as a coolie?"

Numata Yumitsu immediately bowed his head and said he didn't dare, but in fact he had already made up his mind. It seemed that the lord had already thought of this method before he came up with the plan!
Indeed, Asai Nagamasa has already thought of this method.

In addition to war horses and two outstanding internal affairs talents, Tokichiro also brought back some pure spiritual stones. Coupled with the belief that has gradually begun to be implemented in the Kitaomi area, Hashihime's power has been restored to a considerable extent.

If you work together with yourself, although it is not possible to directly summon a flood yet, it is still very possible to find a suitable time to cause a heavy rain.

Although her name is Hashihime, she is actually a god from Takamagahara. She is not bound by the activity area like the earthbound spirit. She can stay in Lake Biwa and come to Uso River.

However, it will take a while to successfully attack the enemy with water attacks. Let the Six Corners Army accumulate enough river water first, which can be regarded as a funeral for themselves!
He was about to say something, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a strange movement, and a familiar person was approaching quickly.

So before the other party officially informed him, he took the lead and spoke: "Ning Ning, it seems that your mission has been completed?"

"Hehe, of course, Ning Ning's Ninja skills are the most powerful!"

With a laugh, Ning Ning, dressed in yellow, appeared in front of everyone.

Although she looked slightly tired, the smile on her little face could not be hidden.

"Ning Ning has successfully rescued Gao Gong Shengyi's son from Guanyin Temple City, and sent someone to notify him. Currently, Xiao Nai is rushing here with that kid. Ning Ning came back early to report the information. The troops are divided into two groups."

Ning Ning spoke quickly and spoke out the latest information she had obtained. It was generally consistent with what Miyun Xianchi said just now, but it was more detailed.

There are about 5000 people at Hieda Castle who are besieging the city and building dams. Rokkaku Yoshiken is currently personally leading an army of [-] to besiege Takamiya Castle. However, although he has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, Takamiya Castle's resistance is considerable. The two sides are currently at a stalemate.

Especially after receiving the news that his son had been successfully rescued and was being transferred to a safe place, Takamiya Katsuyoshi's fighting spirit became even higher, because he was the only blood descendant of his Takamiya family.

Although the other party did not mention the reinforcements at all, after scanning around, Asai Nagamasa knew that many of his retainers were eager to go to Takamiya Castle, not only to aid the heroic samurai Takamiya Katsuyoshi, but also to He wants to fight to the death with Rokkaku Yoshihide.

After being suppressed by the Rokkaku family for decades, they desperately needed an upright victory to wash away their family's humiliation.

It's just that Rokkaku Yoshihide is too incompetent. Takamiya Castle is just a small town. Although it is considered the front line against the Asai family, so there should be a lot of troops. But according to previous intelligence, it will only be [-] to [-] people if it can survive. five.

Even if there is a city wall that can offset part of the difference in troop strength, the effect of that small wooden city is actually very limited, but Liujiao Yixian attacked it with ten times as many troops, but it still just reached a stalemate?Those Ashigaru are too good at paddling, right?

"It seems that your fighting spirit is very strong, very good, then let us defeat Rokkaku Yixian first, and then clear out the miscellaneous soldiers outside Feitian City."

"Transmit my order, except for Lord Kiyotsuna, Anyangji Clan, and Migumo Kenchi to stay at Sawa Mountain Castle and continue to collect and surrender prisoners of war,

Take Shima Sakon, Miyabe Tsurun, Kaisato Iaka, and Mokuzo Yuri as the vanguard with two thousand troops;

Isono Umasa, Endo Naomisuke, Asai Ryochika, and Baibainari led [-] troops to form the second formation;

Xinzhuang Naoyori, Xinzhuang Naotada, Imamura Uji Nao, and Aguan Zada ​​led two thousand troops to form three formations;

The rest, Asai Masaki, Asai Masamoto, Asai Masayuki, Uesaka Kobe, Onoki Shigetoshi, Nakajima Naoyori, Taga Sadano, etc., led two thousand troops with me to form the rear formation. "

In fact, according to the laws of the family, many of them are not generals, but generals of infantry, and cannot command hundreds of troops. But there is no way, because now is the time when the family has just transformed, and many samurai have not yet had time to make enough achievements. Woolen cloth?

Moreover, the number of capable samurai in the family is really a bit small, so Asai Nagamasa can only make an exception.

But after this battle is over, I believe many people will be promoted.

Everyone did not interrupt, but looked at their lord with excitement, because they all knew that the lord must have something to say.

Asai Nagamasa glanced around again: "After this war, I want to make it clear to the world that our Asai family is the real master of the north and south Omi!"

The Rokkaku family's total army was only [-], and they lost [-] here. Another [-] were sent out to try to attack Hiden Castle by water. The remaining [-] troops suffered a morale defeat at the foot of Takamiya Castle. How long can you resist yourself?
