Shiina Yasuyin was deceived by Koma Tsunemitsu and intended to trap and kill Uesugi Terutora in Matsukura Castle. Not only did he offend this powerful ally, but he also offended his counterpart Sibo Yiyin.
Led by Yoshigan Shiba, Terutora Uesugi formed an alliance with Jinbo Nagasaki. He also used the Imperial Sword Order to deprive the Shiina family of his duty as a guardian, completely pushing Shiina Yasuyin into a desperate situation.
Being besieged by the Uesugi Jinho family and losing their political status, the Shiina family could only rely on the support of the Ichikai clan to survive.
In order to seek a chance of survival, Shiina Yasuyin fled to Tonami County with his cronies, hoping to use the power of the Ixiang Sect to counterattack. Who would have thought that the Ixiang Sect would be so selfish.
As Shiina Yasuyin listened to the argument in the hall, her heart became colder and more desperate, until Yoriteru Shimoma spoke to her.
"Your Highness Shiina, the Kaga Ichiku troops are retreating to rescue Oyama Gobo. Can your troops on the east bank of the Shogawa River help me with my work? Please!"
Yoriteru Shimoma was very polite and bowed in request.
Shiina Yasuyin returned the greeting dullly and said.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Where else can I go? Just ask me."
She finally saw it through. No matter how unruly Kaga Ichikui and the others were, Yoriteru couldn't do anything to them, so he had to send them away politely.
As a dependent person, he said he was His Highness, but in fact he continued to be cannon fodder under the command of his subordinate Yori Teru.
Shimo Yoriteru looked at Shiina Yasuyin and said sincerely.
"Your Highness Shiina, only if you please return to the Imperial Palace and talk to Zuisen Temple, can we have a way out."
Shiina Yasuyin nodded and said.
"Lord, I will fully cooperate."
Shimo Yoriteru was afraid that Shiina Yasuyin would be perfunctory, so he had to remind her that neither of them had a way out.
Yoriteru Shimoma was the mastermind of this war, and Yasuyin Shiina was the scum of the samurai family who was quickly killed by the Uesugi Jimbo family.
Only by capturing Shiba Yoshigan can they have bargaining chips to negotiate with the upcoming Uesugi Jinho coalition.
No matter how powerful Si Bo Yiyin was, the cavalry also traveled for ten days. Now that he is trapped in the mountainous area with no horses and people, it is the best time to catch him. If they miss this opportunity, the two of them will never have a chance to make a comeback.
Shiina Yasuyin understood what she meant. Since she had gone so wrong, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight to the end.
Genren Sugiura stood aside and didn't care at all whether Shiina Yasuin would stay or go.
Yoriteru Shimoma said without caring about her.
"Please ask His Highness Shiina to lead his troops to guard the Mitani area on the east coast. I will lead the army to Higashinojiri Village to provide support and send a team of troops to help."
The terrain of Nantoha is a plain area semi-surrounded by mountains on both sides.
To the west are the Ryobai Mountains on the Kaga and Echizen Ryogoku sides, and to the east are the mountains extending northward from the Hida Highlands.
The Shogawa River flows north from the mountain pass. Its upper reaches are close to the mountains on the Hida Highlands. Along the east coast is the Mitani area, and further north is Masuyama Castle.
There is a large plain on the west bank, which extends to the Liangbai Mountains from west to south, forming a deep U shape.
Sibo Yiyin's cavalry was tired of horses and horses, and he could not stay in the mountains and forests for too long. With the cavalry's lack of supplies, he would soon be out to replenish supplies.
As long as the narrow east bank is blocked and he is not allowed to pass through the short section of the Mitani area, Shiba Yoshiyin can only turn his head to the west, looking for supplies in the direction of Nantoha.
Shiina Yasuyin accepted the order, but Zuisenji Miaoyi, who had been lowering his head to chant sutras, stopped and looked up at Shimo Yoriteru.
"Lord Shimoma, you are leading the troops to guard Higashinojiri Village. What if the cavalry at Odaisho does not go west but to the southwest? Who will be responsible for the safety of Zuisen Temple?"
Miaoyi didn't want to meddle in other people's business. There were 7,000 troops under the command of Zuiquan Temple, and Shiba Yiyin's cavalry of less than a hundred people could no longer threaten Zuiquan Temple.
But according to Yori's arrangement, he blocked Shiba Yiyin's way home and forced him to go to Zuisen Temple. What's the point?
Zuisenji Temple is at the bottom of a deep U-shaped terrain. If Shiba Yoshigan cannot walk to the east bank and there is Yoriteru Shimomo's army on the west bank, he can only rush to the southwest.
Walking southwest, there is Inami, then Inoue, and finally Zuisen Temple.
Ten days ago, the Sibo Yi Silver Cavalry invaded through this road. At that time, Miaoyi was so frightened that she felt like urinating and asked for help from all over the night.
This time, Yoriteru Shimoma forced Yoshigashi Shiba into a desperate situation. Under the situation where the trapped beast is still fighting, there is no guarantee that he can still maintain restraint and not attack Ruiquan Temple.
If the mountain gate is destroyed due to Yoriteru's arrangements, who will Zuisenji Miaoyi go to to explain?
Ruiquan Temple was built more than 150 years ago. It cannot be destroyed in her hands. She must ask clearly. What on earth is Yoriteru Shimoma, the general of Yuezhong, going to do!
Seeing the wonderful idea of Zuiquan Temple, Shimo Yoriteru couldn't sit still anymore and sneered in his heart.
Miaoyi watched her being humiliated by Genren Sanura, and watched her struggle to survive, pretending to be solemn and indifferent. It's good now, but you can't pretend anymore?
Yoriteru Shimoma said easily.
"The army is behind us, there are nuns guarding the temple in Ruiquan Temple, and a few cavalry troops cannot make waves."
Ruiquanji Miaoyi sneered in his heart.
How powerful Shiba Yiyin is, you have been nervously planning for so many days and still can't catch him. After seven battles and seven victories, war broke out all over the territory of Ruiquan Temple, and no one dared to stop it.
Do you have time to pretend to be b now? Who are you pretending to show!
Miaoyi knew that Shimo Yoriteru was afraid that the leader of Ruiquan Temple would not be careful. He was using Ruiquan Temple as a hostage to force the troops in the leader to fight.
Miaoyi said coldly.
"The imperial cavalry must not reach Inoue."
Shimo Yoriteru said perfunctorily.
"I believe that if everyone works together, we will definitely..."
Miao Yi interrupted her very rudely and said forcefully.
"I said, you must not go to the well! If my people see the cavalry soldiers on the well, I will write a letter to Benshan.
I want to write a letter to Ishiyama Honganji Temple and ask Master Xianyu whether Zuiquan Temple is still a sect of the same lineage! Do today’s Dharma masters still recognize that the five generations of Dharma masters share the same sect?
If she doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation, Ruiquan Temple can change its religion! "
Miaoyi stared at Yori Zhao, and after speaking in a solemn tone, there was a sudden silence in the prince's palace, and you could hear a pin drop.
Yoriteru Shimoma was also sweating from behind, his scalp was numb, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
Ruiquanji Miaoyi is really crazy, she dared to say the word "conversion".
Shimo Yoriteru just wanted to force the leader of Zuiquan Temple, and don't be like the leader of Anyang Temple on the northern line, who pretended to be stupid and didn't work hard.
With the current state of the cavalry under the command of Siba Yiyin, he was simply unable to break into Zuisen Temple again. Not to mention Warrior Ji's fatigue, the horse might not be able to hold it anymore after ten days of fighting behind enemy lines.
But Zuisenji's wonderful idea was so angry that it burst out immediately, catching Yoriteru Shimoma off guard.
Conversion is an intolerable religious rebellion, and I will never let such a traitor go. Unlike the Mikawa Ichigo sect, the leader of Zuisen Temple was forced to convert under the sword and gun of Matsudaira Motoyasu.
As long as Zuisenji really dares to do what she wants, the various tribes of the Yixiang Sect in Kaga Etsuchu will tear her into pieces. Of course, Yoriteru Shimama will also die together.
No matter how deep her background is, she comes from a lower class family and belongs to the expansion sect of this mountain.
But the mistake of forcing the Yuezhong Ruiquan Temple and causing the temple to convert would still kill her, and no one could save her.
