Todo Toradaka and the people of the country came out to greet him.
I saw a handsome young man riding a Kiso horse that was taller than the other horses, looking around with a scrutinizing look.
Behind him were three Ji warriors, all of whom were heroic and wearing armor.
She saw a person holding a pole with a formation flag in his hand. She looked up and her pupils shrank suddenly.
"This young man is so handsome. When I become famous in the future, I will marry someone like this."
Behind her, Gao Hu chuckled and muttered in a low voice. Without looking back, she slapped her head with a backhand.
"Shut up, don't be rude!"
He spoke sternly and quietly, for fear that the boy in front of him would hear him. Seeing his mother so nervous, Gao Hu was at a loss and held his headband with a confused look on his face.
"Tora Todo, Todo Village, Inugami County, may I ask what I call this lord?"
Yiyin was looking at this camp. Although it was noisy and full of people, there were still many sentries maintained to be vigilant and orderly.
Being sent to such a useless place can still drive subordinates to not forget their duties. The leader of this group of countrymen has prestige.
He looked gently at the group of people who were coming. The leading warrior Ji had fierce eyes, and he looked like a veteran on the battlefield.
Although she has been weathered, she can still tell that she was a beauty when she was young, especially her pair of red and phoenix eyes, with sharp edges and hidden secrets.
This woman is a character.
Most of the Chinese people are reckless women in the countryside and have little knowledge. Yiyin was also surprised to meet someone interesting this time.
"I am the legitimate son of the Shiba clan of the Ashikaga sect, Shiba Yoshigage."
Todo Toraoka narrowed her eyes. She thought that this young man would be a person, but she didn't know that his background was so big. But why did the Shiba family from Owari come to Omi to fight?
The rift between the shogunate and the Rokkaku family was only spread among the higher-ups, and the remote countryside did not know the latest misdeeds of the high-ranking samurai families.
Although she has seen the world, she naturally doesn't know this as she stays in her hometown and takes care of her family.
Confused but without delay, she bowed her head. A relative of the Ashikaga family, the boss among the bosses, there is no shame in being weak.
"A native of the Twelve Villages of Fujido Torago and Inugami County, I would like to pay my respects to Lord Shiba."
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Although the people behind him didn't know how powerful he was, they knelt down as soon as the boss knelt down.
"No courtesy, let's go in and talk."
Yiyin doesn't like to play the aristocratic method of being aloof and mysterious to get them up. After getting off the horse, he led him towards the camp.
Todo looked at the formation flag held in Otani Yoshitsugi's hand after he dismounted, and was a little unable to move forward.
"What's wrong?"
"I dare to ask, sir, is this... the imperial flag?"
Yoshiyin looked at her in surprise, Todo Tougao actually knew Yuqi?
Yoshigan and Akechi Mitsuhide looked at each other. I originally thought about how to use the story of 80,000 imperial family members to go to Beijing to fool these simple Chinese people into going there. Who knew that the leader of this group of bumpkins actually knew Yu Qi.
This royal flag is not an ordinary object. The warrior Ji who has heard of it and knows how to distinguish it must at least have good experience and vision.
"You actually know Yuqi? Have you seen him before?"
Yoshigami smiled slightly and motioned Todo Toraoka to walk beside him. Walk and talk.
How could Togao Todo dare to walk side by side with the owner of the imperial flag? He took a step back and followed the advance, saying so.
"Your Excellency, you are laughing. I have never seen such treasures before. I just traveled out and listened to my friends chatting and bragging, and I can recognize some family crests and military flags."
"I see."
The camp was not big, and I walked to the center in a few steps. There was obviously a cleaner tent in front.
Todo said enthusiastically.
"This is the tent where military affairs are discussed. It's quite neat. If you don't mind it, sir, can you just rest there for the next few days?"
Yiyin nodded.
"I'm not welcome."
Since they occupied the meeting place to sleep, it was inconvenient to bring people in, so a group of people simply chose a place next to it to rest.
The stools and stones from around were brought over, and they sat down to discuss matters. After he had settled down, Yoshigan smiled at Todo Tora, introduced the three girls to her one by one, and then asked about military affairs.
"How many of you are here for this battle?"
"Sir, one hundred and thirty people."
"Only one hundred and thirty people? So few."
Yoshigami was a little disappointed, Toudo Toraka explained.
"You don't know, but we Chinese people are having a hard time. We have been squeezed hard by the Six Corners in the past few years. There is not enough food and grass, and we can't pull it out with our hands.
This time we had to avoid the sight of the Rokkaku family, and the peasants and soldiers were too late to bring them along. Only a hundred Ashigaru and thirty Hime samurai came.
We had to prepare our own food, fodder and armaments for this long journey, and we did our best. I have no choice, my power is limited, please forgive me. "
Yiyin didn't believe her words at all. The land in the middle of Omi is fertile, and Inugami County is located among it.
The villages here are all high-quality fertile fields, ranging from a small one with a thousand dan to a large one with a thousand dan.
The total number of people in your Twelve Village Alliance must be tens of thousands of koku. Even if there are no peasants and soldiers accompanying you, the Ashigaru Hime Warriors can only make up half the number of reserve troops, which is extremely meager.
But that’s what people said, what can you do? Go to the village to inspect the land yourself?
Looking at Mitsuhide Akechi, Yoshigan released the bait they had agreed on before.
"I came to Omi this time to attack the Rokkaku family with their royal flag. I don't have any soldiers, so I had to borrow some from the Asai family."
"Yes, it all depends on your orders."
Todo Tora's lofty and steady comparison, no matter you are a boy or a warrior Hime, I will be respectful and correct so that you can't make any mistakes.
However, that's all the strength of the army is, even if you kill me, you won't be able to change it.
Yiyin didn't expect to meet such a stubborn person, and was speechless for a moment.
Akechi Mitsuhide who was nearby coughed slightly and said.
"Since Mr. Shiba was given the royal flag by the general to come to Omi, he will naturally reward those warriors who are loyal to the shogunate and fight bravely."
As he said that, he looked at Todo Toraoka.
Todo Toraoka's body trembled unconsciously. When she saw the Ashikaga white flag for the first time outside the camp just now, she had a feeling that the opportunity had come.
It's just that she couldn't believe it because she was worried about gains and losses. It wasn't until this moment that she could muster the courage to ask.
"May I ask, sir, what kind of reward is it?"
Akechi Mitsuhide seemed to understand her thoughts, smiled slightly, and looked at Yoshigan. Yiyin said sternly.
"The loyal and righteous people who obey the orders and serve under the imperial banner will be given the status of imperial family members."
Really a royal family member!
Toudo Toraka felt that his head was filled with blood and he felt dizzy for a moment. Biting the tip of his tongue, he steadied his body and refused to sway.
"It is our honor to follow the imperial flag. Sir, please rest early while we take our leave first."
After reluctantly saying a few words, Todo Torogao left with a group of people. Yoshigan said to Akechi Mitsuhide disappointedly.
"When you meet a knowledgeable leader of the Chinese people, it's not easy to fool him. It seems that your strategy of motivating the imperial family is not working."
"My lord, this knowledgeable person may get angry more easily than the ignorant person."
"oh?"
Yoshigan looked at Akechi Mitsuhide without knowing why, and when he saw her looking at Todo Tora's staggering back, her smile became darker and darker.
