Still with these words, all the Chinese people almost collapsed.
"If you are dissatisfied, you can kill me and let the Lord send someone else."
Otani Yoshitsugi said this, but his tone smelled of blood, and he seemed to be preparing for a bloody battle.
The local servants present also hoped that following Sibo Yiyin's founding of the country would make life easier. At this moment, when the Sibo people and the Baidi family are fighting for military power, who is willing to take the lead?
The samurai mentality is that whoever has the best will follow the other. Just now, Otani Yoshitsugi pretended to be a fool and deceived the third husband of Momochi, and then decisively killed Takino Yoshimasa, Momochi's die-hard loyalist.
This move really frightened the warriors, and no one wanted to kill them all. The original ambiguous position was cut off by Otani Yoshitsugi, and there was no longer any gray area that could be blurred.
Either Spo or Baidi, your choice!
It was also the third wife of Momochi who underestimated the enemy. She thought that Otani Yoshitsugi was the flagship of Shiba Yiyin, and he was just a fledgling.
Who knows that although this guy is young, he has been suppressed by the Liujia family since he was a child and has suffered a lot. What he knows best is to paralyze the enemy and take decisive action.
After being silent for who knows how long, a warrior Ji finally stood up and knelt down to kowtow.
"My family is willing to follow General Otani and make contributions."
She gritted her teeth and finished speaking, also wanting to take a gamble. Her family had a bad relationship with the Momochi family, and there was no way out in Minamiga, so she could only endure it silently.
This opportunity was right in front of her, and the Wu family's fierceness aroused, allowing her to stand up and be the first to take the lead.
Otani Yoshitsugi looked at her, pointed at the body of Takino Yoshimasa on the ground, and asked.
"This man named Takino Yoshimasa, is there anyone in the military at home?"
"There are already several Hime warriors in the Takino family army, including some Ashigaru."
"Stabilize them and trick the leader in."
With murderous intent in his soft words, the warrior Ji raised his head and wiped off his sweat, nodded, and went out.
Otani Yoshitsugi continued to look at the crowd. With someone taking the lead, everyone in the crowd knelt down.
In the end, before the deceiver came, all the other eighteen families present except Momochi and Takino recognized Otani Yoshitsugi's status as a general.
Then it will be easy to handle. When the Takino family comes in, one person cuts each other, and a tacit understanding is formed with blood.
After that, Otani Yoshitsugi sat on the main seat where the third husband of Momochi was just now and said.
"First kill all the Takino family members in the army, you."
Pointing at the warrior Ji who surrendered first.
"Choose a few families to go and level the Takino family's village."
"Yes, Lord Otani."
Otani Yoshitsugi glanced at the scene, even though the white cloth covering her face could not block her evil aura.
"I will give you three days. After three days, the whole army will set off."
"Yes, Lord Otani."
All Ji warriors bowed their heads.
Compared to Takatora Toudo and Yoshitsugi Otani, Maeda's interests in Yuno are much more troublesome.
Since the Hattori family left Iga, the Yuye area has been governed by the joint self-governance of Hattori's branch families and the former twenty affiliated villages.
The so-called unity means that when nothing happens, everyone makes noises, and when something happens, everyone stirs up trouble. There is no need for farts, but there are many farts. Everyone is still related to each other, and this structure is the most exclusive.
When Maeda arrived at Yuye, he first found the Kuroda village.
Sure enough, a group of Yuye people were confronting the Kitaiga army who came to destroy the Kuroda family, and they were talking sarcastically and sarcastically.
The people from Kitaiga were feeling uncomfortable when they came to Yuye, and they didn't know why they came to destroy the Kuroda family.
Speaking of which, Kuroda is also an old man among the Iga people and has some blood ties with the Hattori family.
People from Northern Iga generally do not come to Yuno. Iga Rokusho Village used to be a place of chaos during the Warring States Period, but later it was merged into three separate areas, with each area taking charge of its own affairs. Even if the Hattori family unified Iga Country, they only mixed water with the other two places.
In the end, everyone joined forces and determined the leadership positions of the Fubu family, Momochi family and Fujibayashi family in the remaining two areas, and that was it.
In ancient society, rural cliques were the most important thing. Even the emperor could not defeat these village shrews, so he could only rely on rural sages.
As the old saying goes, if the monarch's power does not extend to the countryside, it will reach its limit at the county level. If we want to take care of the bad things of these fellow villagers, we must first form a group with a political program.
Japanese generals will not come down to take care of these thankless things. Japan's rural sages are local servants of the country. And Yu Ye is a group of Chinese people without a leader, which is the most troublesome.
That’s why Yiyin said it was pushing Maeda’s interests into the fire pit.
Todo Takatora and Otani Yoshitsugi at least found a person in charge to summon the people of the country to compete with her for power.
Even if Maeda wants to fight, he can't find a partner. It is also necessary to pull the rest of the field out to fight in a short period of time. It is normal that this thing cannot be done, and it is unexpected if it is done.
"What are you waiting for?
I am Maeda's interest under Shiba Gozen, and the Lord has appointed me to be the general of Yuye's army.
Send someone out to answer the question! "
Maeda didn't talk nonsense, he rode his horse to separate the two sides, stood in the middle and turned around, asking.
Yu Yezhong looked at me and I looked at you, but didn't say anything. The Chinese from Kitaiga over there spoke up.
"Master Maeda, we were sent by Master Fujibayashi to exterminate the Kuroda family.
But the Kuroda family's whereabouts are unknown, and these Yuye guys won't let us leave, which is really annoying.
Please, sir, make the decision for us. "
After hearing what the Kitaiga native said, Maeda turned to look at the Yuye native and asked a question with the most arrogant expression.
"Where did the Kuroda family go? Why didn't you quickly prepare armaments and gather military strength? Did you all turn a deaf ear to His Highness's words?"
Although the countryman resisted, Maeda brought up the great god Shiba Yoshiyin. She hesitated and chose to answer.
"Sir, the Kuroda family is none of our business. Her family ran away overnight after hearing that they were going to kill her.
We didn't stand in the way of these idiots from Kitaiga, they just asked us for people. Where can we find the conscience of heaven and earth?
I heard that her family went to that mountain forest. Who knows how they hid it and who could find it. "
The countryman pointed to the endless woods next to the village and looked at Maeda with helplessness. But her eyes that kept moving were flexible and hinting at a smile.
Maeda said to the people of Kita-Iga.
"You go back, I will carry out His Highness's orders."
The people of Northern Iga were overjoyed when they heard this. They didn't want to offend anyone. If it weren't for military orders that were difficult to disobey, who would be willing to take this trip through troubled waters.
Since there is a fool taking over, it's for the best. He bowed respectfully to Maeda Benefit, turned around and left, walking quite quickly, as if he was afraid that Maeda Benefit would go back on his word.
When everyone in the field saw Beitaiga's people running away, their eyes looking at Maeda's interests were even more playful.
Iga Zhong is an old player in the mountains and forests. This adult is also confused. Without the help of the people from the North Iga country, no one can find the Kuroda family.
We are all fellow villagers, and even if we don't help, we won't tell outsiders where they are hiding.
Let's see how Lord Maeda explains to His Highness Shiba. Anyway, it is none of Yu Yezhong's business.
Maeda also knew that he had no prestige and could not suppress the rest of the crowd just by relying on Shiba Yiyin's intimidation.
She had her own plans and didn't want to waste time, so she just said it.
"I am the general sent by Imperial Palace Siba. The troops you are waiting for are gathering here. I will give you three days.
Tomorrow I will first see the villages and fields here. You can go back and tell me. "
After saying that, he turned around and walked a few steps towards the forest. He squatted down and observed the footprints and wheels on the ground, then raised his head and closed his eyes to breathe in the scent of the mountain forest.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a pair of killing eyes without any emotion. He took off his clothes, tied them on his horse, and strode into the forest.
I thought silently in my heart.
I am the chief general of the Shiba family, and Maeda's interests are mine.
