Troubled times turned people into ghosts, and after a sanctimonious conversation, the Wenjing family governor Xuzong was completely betrayed by his daughter.
Politics requires a stance, and collusion with the Wen Jing family has always been a crime, so someone must bear the responsibility.
There is an equal balance of power and responsibility. If something goes wrong, the family supervisor will take the blame. Onei Tsuzumune colluded with Ichikai clan in an attempt to preserve the power of the Onei family in Noto country, but unfortunately she failed.
The Yusa family, the head of the family, and Iikawa Mitsumato who supported Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna did not give in. Now that Yiyin has entered the situation on behalf of the shogunate, this road is dead, and the Onei family must find a way to escape.
It is impossible to just say sorry for a political failure. Even if Shiba Yoshigan is willing to speak and ensure the safety of the Onei family, her family still has to make some gesture in exchange for the Noto Takeshi family's understanding.
Therefore, Wenjing Xunzong wanted to become a monk.
Being a monk is just a rhetoric. If Wen Jingjinglong dares to express his position like this, he must ensure that nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, it would be teasing Shiba Yiyin, the imperial court, and the consequences would be more serious.
Therefore, a simple sentence of becoming a monk was followed by a cleansing inside the Wenjing family. Those who were close to Wenjing Xuzong and the retainers who were in favor of colluding with Yixiang Zong were not allowed to stay.
The two sisters, Onai Kagetaka and Miyake Nagamori, worked in tandem. It is estimated that the retainers also had their tacit approval before coming. I believe that by now, Wen Jing Jinglong has sent someone back to inform his sister to supervise the matter.
In his understatement, Yiyin caused another tragic incident of a mother and daughter killing each other, which made her feel a little resentful. What he did in the past two years would have been enough to kill him five hundred times in his previous life.
But when I think about it, who is the cleanest person who plays martial arts politics? Is it really possible to survive if it's really clean?
Smiling to himself, Yiyin touched Husong's little head, closed his eyes to rest, and stopped thinking about it.
———
When Yoshigan met with the Noto samurai family in Takaoka Castle, a defeated army in Fufu County was retreating eastward.
The upper reaches of the Shogawa River are the Hida Highlands. The Hida Mountains drop to the north in Yuechugawa, and finally connect to the Kureha Hills with the Hida Highlands.
The Kureha Hills are all plain areas from east to north, with only Wufu Mountain in the northeast having some hills. Kawada Nagauchi is stationed here with his headquarters troops under the orders of Uesugi Teruhora.
The defeated soldiers retreated to the foot of the mountain, and the leader Ji Samurai rushed in to see Kawada Changqin.
"No! Mr. Kawada, Ichizong is here!"
Kawada Nagauchi was shocked. The person who came was none other than Shanmoto Temple Sadang who was sent by Uesugi Teruhu to garrison Himiya Castle.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
Yamamotoji Sadagawa said while breathing heavily.
"I entered Sun Palace City less than half a day ago, and I was attacked before I could arrange the garrison. In a hurry, I could only lead my troops to retreat backwards.
I don’t know the specifics, I only know that it is the military strength of the Yixiang Sect. "
Kawada Changqin said anxiously.
"Are they nuns from Ruiquan Temple, nuns from Shengxing Temple, or a group of nuns from somewhere?
Where did they come from? How is Zengshan City in the south? "
Hinomiya Castle is located to the north of the Kureha Hills, while Masuyama Castle is located to the west of the hills, facing the bank of the Shogawa River. The other side wanted to cross the river and attack eastward, with Zengshan City bearing the brunt.
Yamamotoji Sadashi bowed his head and said.
"I don't know either. Our army has gone deep into Fufu County and is not familiar with the surrounding geography.
I was suddenly attacked by Yixiang Zong. Their numbers were so large that I couldn't resist them, so I quickly retreated to report the news. "
Kawada Nagachi is furious, what a bastard.
Terutora Uesugi sent them here to protect the flanks of the Odaisho in Takaoka Castle.
Takaoka Castle is to the west of the lower reaches of the Sho River, and Kureha Hills is to the east of the upper reaches of the Sho River. Sun Palace City is in front, Wufu Mountain is behind, and several places echo each other.
Now, Yamamotoji Sadashi was defeated in confusion and retreated for dozens of miles. If the other party occupies the front line of Zhuangchuan and cuts off the retreat of the Imperial Palace, who will be responsible!
Yamamotoji Sadaka escaped back in such a daze, leaving Kawada Nagauchi confused as to what to do.
If you don't understand the enemy's situation, you will naturally be unable to judge the opponent's intentions. Is it cross-border harassment, or an all-out attack? How does she cope?
Kawada Nagauchi couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and glared at Yamamotoji Sadada, but she couldn't curse.
The Yamamotoji family belongs to the old guardian branch and has a very special status in Echigo. Uesugi Teruhu looks down upon her family.
Kawada Nagachichi was just a retainer accepted by Uesugi Teruhora Kamiro in Omi. He had served in the public service in Omi for a year, and he just had the opportunity to come out and take charge of his own affairs.
She neither wanted to quarrel with Yamamotoji Sadichang, nor was she qualified to give orders to the Yamamotoji family governor.
After taking a few breaths, she calmed down a little and asked.
"Over at Takaoka Castle, did Lord Yamamotoji send someone to report the military situation?"
Yamamotoji Sadagawa talked for a long time, his mouth was dry. But Kawada Changqin had no intention of giving him water, and instead pressed him with questions.
She also knew that her defeat this time was too cowardly, but she still felt a little dissatisfied in her heart.
"When I withdrew, I sent my eldest daughter Xiaochang to lead a few people on horseback to Gaogang City to inform the imperial office."
Kawada Nagauchi felt a little relieved now, Yamamotoji Shouchi was not that stupid. If she dared to bury her head and run away, selling the imperial office ahead, no one could save her.
Kawada Changqin thought for a while and said.
“Sir Yamamotoji, we should immediately send someone to the rear to inform His Highness.
Then you and I gather our forces and return to Sun Palace City, taking advantage of Xiang Zong's unsteady footing to catch her off guard. "
Yamamotoji Sadaga was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.
"This... Why don't you inform Her Highness and ask her to make a decision. You and I will guard Wufu Mountain, so that we can coordinate the retreat of the Imperial Palace in Takaoka Castle."
Kawada Nagauchi shook his head and said.
"no.
The opponent must be well prepared when they attack Hinomiya Castle. Takaoka Castle is no longer safe.
If the imperial office is frightened by this, you and I are not exempt from the blame. His Highness has the intention to kill us.
We must attack Sun Palace City, not to capture it, but to at least capture a few insiders. We know where this Xiangzong army came from and what their purpose is in attacking this time.
They must not have thought that the retreating army would come back and fight back. Even if they had the intention to go north to block the back road of Gaogang Castle, they would be attracted by us and come back to buy time for the imperial army.
Mr. Yamamotoji, if something happens to the Imperial Palace and you lose the Sun Palace Castle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to survive. "
Yamamotoji Choucha looked uncertain, Kawada Chouchika looked down on her, but had to persuade her.
Kawada Nagauchi was appointed as an official by Uesugi Terutora, and finally managed to use Uesugi Terutora to rectify military discipline and seize the opportunity to lead the army into battle. She was unwilling to be punished by Yamamotoji Nagano.
But she didn't have enough troops, so she had no choice but to drag Yamamotoji Sadagawa along with her. For this reason, I had to scare her with the seriousness of the consequences.
Who is Shiba Yiyin? Teru Uesugi’s sweetheart! If Yamamotoji Sadinaga loses Hinomiya Castle and puts Yoshigan Shiba in Takaoka Castle in danger, can Uesugi Terutora spare her?
No matter how special the Yamamotoji family is, Uesugi Teruhu will always fall out. Kawada Nagauchi will also be dragged down. All his qualifications from Omi's official career to the present will be invalidated, and he may never be able to succeed again.
Therefore, they must turn around and fight back. Find out the details of the other party and buy some time for Takaoka City to explain to Uesugi Teruhora.
