Pillars of the Wu family

() New Saijo Castle is built with earth and stones, the high stone wall flat and the complex Sanriyue Hori in front of the gate are all the architectural features of Kansuke Yamamoto. Sanmaru, located in Otemon, has set up a servant house for the settlement of retainers. , At the same time, the oars here store food, grass and weapons in peacetime, and are also defense points for Tibetan soldiers in wartime.

Nimaru was split into Kita Maru and Hime Maru. The Otemon gate faces the Yahagi River from west to east, and the south of Saijo Castle is Mikawa Bay, so the north side becomes the most likely area to face enemy attacks, so the north side of Nimaru was dismantled. It became one of the characteristics of Yamamoto's fortification flow that Debei Maru specialized in planting samurai defenses, and completely separated the Honmaru from the river.

On the other hand, Himemaru is an area that is connected to Honmaru but not connected to Kitamaru and Sanmaru. It is the place where the Kira clan settled their families, so the concealment is better, and the top of it is Honmaru , On the road leading to Unicom Honmaru, a complex tiger mouth and horse exit were designed, and at the same time, the military role of this new Saijo Castle was maximized. Immediately after the completion of this city, it won unanimous praise from the Kira family, and Yamamoto Kansuke also became one of them. The list of capable ministers was accepted by the Kira family.

After everyone retreated, Kansuke Yamamoto said: "Using the Hattori family as the hostess of the host is indeed a good way to win over the Hattori family, but the host seems to be particularly concerned about the Hattori family. What is the reason?"

"Because he is Hattori Hanzo!"

"Huh? What is the owner of the museum talking about?" Kansuke Yamamoto's ears were very sharp, and he immediately asked questions when he heard him muttering in a low voice.

"Oh! This...Because my Kira family has always lacked the support of ninjas and insufficient sources of information, the Hattori clan, one of the Iga Sanjoren, should pay more attention to this vote." Kira Manmatsumaru was in a hurry. Find a reason to prevaricate the past, the Kira family already has its own horse Huizhong, and it is also reasonable to reorganize and rename it to appease the Hattori family.

"Speaking of which, our family really needs information support. According to Ishimishou, Taiyuan Xuezhai will set off from Suruga at the end of this month to sit in Okazaki Castle." Yamamoto Kansuke threw out the news. <Only after the battle of Anjo, the Matsudaira army, the vanguard of the Imagawa family, was fiercely counterattacked by the Oda side who defended the castle.

The result of this battle also implicated the sudden death of Matsudaira Hirotada, and the Matsudaira family, which lost its governor, suffered civil strife for nearly half a year. The family should not continue to attack the Oda side at this time, because the Matsudaira family, the cannon fodder of the Imagawa family, has not yet recovered from the blow of losing the family governor. It is really not a wise move to fight Anxiang City at this time.

"Even the subordinates of Zen Master Taiyuan couldn't fully figure out the thoughts of Zen Master Taiyuan. This change of the Imagawa family will definitely have a negative impact on the family. The subordinates believe that the Imagawa family has made up their minds to take down Anxiang City in one go, and weave away the long-standing enemy. The Tian family was expelled from Xisanhe."

Kansuke Yamamoto's words woke up Kira Wanmatsumaru, and made him break out in a cold sweat. He vaguely remembered that the Oda family seemed to have been expelled from the Mikawa Kingdom in the past two years, and Matsudaira Takechiyo was exchanged to the Imagawa family as Taiyuan Xuezhai The apprentice, Oda Nobuhide also collapsed in a huge blow and died of illness within a few years.

He doesn't know what happened to the Kira family, but as the governor of the Saijo Kira family who opposed Imagawa, one can imagine the situation after the Imagawa family captured Nishimikawa. It seems naive now to think that the Imagawa family would care about the love of the same clan.

"It can't be like this! My life has just begun, do I want to be the lord of subjugation?" Kira Wansongmaru suddenly realized that his situation was so dangerous. It seemed that his good days were coming to an end. Kansuke Yamamoto, who was thinking hard, has settled down again, at least things are not that bad, and he still has a chance.

"Master! Could it be that Taiyuan Xuezhai came to Okazaki Castle because the Matsudaira family fell into civil strife? The Matsudaira family, as the puppet of Imakawa's ruling Mihe Kingdom, fell into civil strife because of the sudden death of the family governor, and fell apart in less than half a year. It's a sign, I think the Imagawa family won't just sit back and watch the Matsudaira family go bad, and Xisanhe will fall into chaos again and ignore it."

"That's right! The words of the owner have awakened the subject!" Yamamoto Kansuke, who was caught in a logical deadlock, seemed to have realized something, and said with a livid face: "The subject finally understands what Taiyuan Xuezhai's motives are! He wants to Take me to Kira's house!"

"What?" Kira Wansongmaru jumped up, walked in front of Kansuke Yamamoto in disbelief, grabbed his shoulder and asked anxiously: "How is this possible? My family is the head of the Imagawa family! How dare they do this to my family! This is impossible! I Absolutely do not believe it!"

"Master, please be safe and calm!" Yamamoto Kansuke also stared at him with a bull's eye, without any intention of comforting him: "Matsudaira's family fell into civil turmoil, so Imagawa sent Taiyuan Xuezhai to Okazaki Castle to calm down The Songping family, which is showing signs of civil strife, suffered a disastrous defeat in the Anxiang City battle this year, and now they have no confidence to fight back immediately. If they rush out, Anxiang City will definitely suffer a bigger blow.

Zen master Taiyuan Xuezhai must also understand, so find an opponent to fight a combined battle with complete victory, and look at Xisanhe. Except for the Anxiang City of the Oda family, only I, the Kira clan, are the most threatening. The Zong family also acted as the initiator of the anti-Imagawa call. As long as the anti-Imagawa people of the family Xisanhe were defeated, the anti-Imagawa people would collapse. Now there is no better choice if they do not fight the family. "

The front was okay, but when he said the second half, it was shocking. Kira Manmatsumaru's heart was like being poured with a bucket of cold water in the cold winter, and it was completely cooled from the inside to the outside. Kansuke Yamamoto's analysis was better than his Immature thoughts are much more professional, but he is not in the mood to compliment now: "How could this happen to me? I would rather never hear these words! I encountered a disaster without anyone, what is it?" What's going on? Isn't it okay to be a small lord who farms safely?"

Kira Wansongmaru held his head and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. He said with a depressed face, "There is indeed no better choice, but is there no other way to avoid it?"

"If I remember correctly, Zen Master Taiyuan Xuezhai should have revived the Sixiang Anguo Zen Temple eight years ago!"

Kansuke Yamamoto suddenly asked a surprising question. Kira Manmatsumaru looked at him in a daze, and recited the history that his father had recounted to him: "The original name of the Anguo Zen Temple was the Temple of Man, the ancestor of the family. The Bodhi Temple of the Open Foundation is also a branch temple of the Miaoxin Temple Sect of the Linji Sect. A hundred years ago, it was a famous temple in Sanhe Kingdom, and it was destroyed by war because of the Yingren Rebellion. Zen Master Taiyuan Xuezhai, who came out of the mountain, started to revive it as Nixiang Anguo Zen Temple, and the current resident is Zen Master Taiyuan's younger brother, Master Xishan Zongyan, an eminent monk from Miaoxin Temple in Kyoto, master, what do you mean?"

"Zen Master Taiyuan Xuezhai is an eminent monk of the Miaoxin Temple Sect. I don't know if the master of the hall remembers seeing Taiyuan Xuezhai? It's a pity that the minister was still wandering in the Suruga country and didn't have time to participate in it, but I heard from several His Highnesses , Zen Master Taiyuan likes His Highness very much, and he even gave a few books to the owner of the museum, as a person of Taiyuan Xuezhai, he will definitely be courteous first and then soldier!" Kansuke Yamamoto said after deliberation.

"Preliminary first, then military... Can I say anything else? I'll think about it more carefully." Kira Wansongmaru smiled wryly, as if he vaguely remembered that when he was still very young, a great monk from Kyoto had seen him, and it seemed that he was Some connection with his mother's family, said a lot of things he can't remember, but did send him a few books.
