The sun rises in the east and the smoke curls up. The sun drove away the darkness, and the quiet Sanada camp gradually became noisy again.
A gray-haired warrior Ji stretched his body, stuck his rice ball on a branch, and carefully roasted it by the campfire.
In the distance, a group of Ji warriors were holding containers, waiting for the flavored soup in the large iron pot to heat up. From time to time, someone would be mean and stick their fingers into the soup to test the temperature, and they would be pulled aside and beaten severely.
The old Samurai Ji took the baked rice balls off the branches. The already stiff rice balls were even more gnashing after being heated over the fire.
She was not afraid of burning it, so she picked off the browned hard rice piece by piece and threw it into her bowl.
At this time, a childish little girl came over with a big bowl, and the soup in the bowl was still smoking.
"Old dog, the soup is here!"
The old warrior Ji slapped her on the head and cursed.
"No matter how big or small, you are the one who barks at the old dog?"
The girl wasn't angry either. She smiled and poured some soup into Lao Ji's bowl, submerging the rice balls that Lao Ji had just broken off.
The old warrior Ji also smiled, revealing two rows of uneven and rotten teeth. After the rice was soaked, she took a slow sip, chewed it carefully, and moaned with pleasure.
"I don't know how many more days I can live in these magical days. I'm done for the rest of my life. I'm used to eating white rice soaked in soup. How can I survive when I go back?"
The little girl skillfully stuck her rice balls on the branches and roasted them carefully, talking while roasting.
"How else can I live? If I'm not dead, I have to find a way to live, even by chewing tree bark."
Warrior Ji shook his head and said.
"You know nothing. If you don't have teeth, you can only swallow it. Even the best brown rice can be stirred up and make your stomach hurt. Besides, we don't have to eat it.
You said that you are so young and your hair is not fully grown yet you insist on having a falling out with your father. Why do you come here to join in the fun? "
The little girl drooled looking at the roasted rice balls. Before it was even hot, she couldn't help but take a bite of the outside to satisfy her cravings, and then said.
"What if you don't come?
The mother is dead, and the younger brothers and sisters are still young. If he hadn't had this opportunity to serve as a soldier and eat food, his father would have to go to the house at the foot of the mountain to help that old woman in exchange for food rations for the family. "
Warrior Lao Ji cursed while drinking rice soup.
"Rations are nothing. I don't know about that bastard at the foot of the mountain? Her family's food stock is not enough for herself. How can she give your family so many mouths to share the food?
She lied to your father, it's just a fool's errand. "
The little girl nodded while nibbling on the rice balls.
"So I have to come, and we all swear an oath to the mountain together. If I come out to fight, the bastard at the bottom of the mountain will not dare to bully my father, my brothers and my sisters.
She had to send someone to deliver the food for Anjia given by Her Majesty Sanada to my door. Even if I die outside, I will still have pension. If I save some food, it will be enough for my father, younger brothers and sisters to live on for two years.
What’s more, the mountain god is still reliable. "
The old warrior Ji licked his rice bowl clean before saying.
"The mountain god is nothing. If there is no food from His Highness Sanada, who would be willing to swear an oath in the mountain alliance? Can the mountain god transform food?
Your girl hasn't grown yet, she has thin arms and legs, and the knife is taller than you. On the battlefield, a little kid like you dies quickly, sooner or later anyway.
When your pension is finished, your father will have to go to Shanxia's home to live in moxa. No, at that time, Shanxia probably didn't like your father's old man, Lao Zhuhuang. It's time for your brother to go to moxa. "
The little girl didn't care about the old warrior Ji's mouthfuls, she just shrugged and said.
"It's okay. My sister has grown up by then, and that's something she has to consider. I'll die, just do my shit."
Warrior Lao Ji laughed loudly, opened her mouth wide, and her rotten teeth looked even more disgusting. She patted the little girl on the shoulder and said.
"You must follow me closely on the battlefield, do you hear me?"
The little girl nodded silently.
In the distance, a group of warrior warriors walked out from behind the curtain of Sanada Nobunaga's main formation. They didn't know what they said on the high platform, and the whole camp began to commotion.
Warrior Ji stretched his neck to look, and the little girl came over and asked.
"Is that Sanada-sama? What is she talking about?"
Warrior Lao Ji cursed.
"Bullshit, can I hear it from so far away?"
Just as Daiichi was speaking, a messenger passed by them and shouted.
"Get in line!"
Warrior Lao Ji picked up the little girl and left, looking at the formation flags one after another, looking for her own reserve team. When she saw the team in front, her eyes lit up, and she leaned forward and nodded.
"Lord Mochizuki! Sir!"
Samurai Hime, whom the old Samurai Hime calls Lord Mochizuki, was talking to a few people around him when he heard a shout and turned around.
"Old dog, it's you old thing, hurry up and get back to the team, we are about to set off."
The old dog crouched, rubbed his hands, and asked.
"Sir, where are we going?"
Mochizuki glanced at her and said coldly.
"Your blessing has come. His Highness Sanada has spoken and sent troops to conquer the mountain. After defeating it, the reward for the living will be doubled and the compensation for the dead will be tripled.
In addition, as long as we break through the base mountain and capture Oiwa Mountain, His Majesty Sanada will go to Tsudo-den in person to ask for credit for us, and he will get us at least a hundred Shiba preparations. "
Warrior Ji was so excited that her body was shaking, and she asked.
"Spo's establishment? Is it the six-stone-a-year food stamp that can be passed on to your daughter when you die?"
Lord Mochizuki snorted coldly.
“Nonsense, of course it is that, so I say you are blessed.
As long as he can make great achievements this time, he can go to the Si Bo family and become a master, and his children and grandchildren will no longer have to suffer poverty in the mountains.
But I have to remind you, old dog, there are only 100 places for the entire camp of 10,000 people. If you want Spo to form a team, you have to know how to fight later. Don't embarrass my reserve team.
Now, get back in line! "
The old dog bowed deeply, took the little girl's wrist and left. The little girl was still confused and her hands hurt from being strangled by her.
"Old dog, why are you so excited? Let go, it hurts!"
The old dog turned around and grabbed the little girl's collar, stared into her eyes, and said slowly.
"I promised your father that I would definitely let you go back alive.
Let's earn a Spo's salary. If I don't die, I will marry your father and make you my daughter, so that your younger brothers and sisters can have food.
If I die, you take the organization back. Tell your father that he will be mine from now on, he will have food to eat every day, and he is not allowed to go out to wormwood anymore! "
The little girl looked at the excited old dog and asked.
"Does His Majesty Sanada mean what he says?"
The old dog glared at her and cursed.
"We swore an oath to the mountain alliance together! Your Majesty Sanada is also a mountain person, so she must abide by the rules! The mountain god is watching us!"
The little girl muttered.
"Didn't you just say that the Mountain God is a piece of shit?"
The old dog said fiercely.
"I don't care! If His Majesty Sanada doesn't keep his words, we'll go to Tsutama-dono to argue!
Tsudoden is Bishamonten, and he is also a god. If we work for him, he must take care of us! "
As Sanada Nobushige's words spread, the atmosphere in the entire camp became more and more intense, and countless old dogs walked onto the battlefield with red eyes.
A mountain man as humble as a dog is willing to risk his life for a one percent chance.
———
Xingshi Mountain, Sibo Yiyin's main formation.
Sitting on the horse in the formation, Yiyin looked forward through the curtain, and seemed to be able to see countless people dividing their troops and setting off.
There are over a thousand people, like mountains and seas. Tens of thousands of people, boundless. Yiyin took a deep breath, as if he could smell the smell of blood in the air.
Kamojigo quickly walked into the formation, bowed to Yoshiyin and said.
"Your Majesty, everyone has gathered together."
Yiyin nodded and asked.
"Everyone has set off? Is it going well?"
Pu Shengshi Township Gong Jin said.
"After having breakfast at dawn, Sanada's army made a detour first, and the nearby coalition forces set off later.
Everything is in order, however. . "
Yiyin glanced at her.
"But what?"
Pu Shengshixiang frowned.
"Sanada Nobushige privately announced to the Sanada army in the morning that after breaking through the mountain, the reward for the survivors will be doubled, and the compensation for the dead will be tripled."
Yiyin smiled.
"She's also very generous, and she seems to have made a lot of money on dried matsutake and kapok.
There must be a brave woman under a heavy reward. Although Sanada Nobunshige acted like a fool, it was not wrong, so let her go as far as she could.
Anyway, it's not you who has to pay for the money and food. Later I will replenish her some Naojiangjin merchant ship positions to ensure that she makes a profit and not loses any money. "
Kamo Shigo shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. If Sanada Nobushige only raises his own money and rewards his followers, I will naturally not talk too much.
But she also made another promise later, saying that if she could break through the Big Rock Mountain, she would ask the emperor for a hundred Sibo troops on behalf of her tribe.
The Shiba system is not her private weapon of Sanada Nobunaga, how can she be allowed to be so arrogant and rude! "
Yiyin was stunned for a moment and sighed.
"Then what can you do?
Sanada Nobushige has already said it, so does it count if I send someone to Sanada's army to call her nonsense and fart?
The military morale that had been aroused just now was immediately exhausted. How could we still fight this battle? "
Pusheng clan gritted his teeth and said.
"Sanada Nobushige was sure that your Majesty would not argue with her at this point in time and would not deny the matter, so he dared to be so unscrupulous.
His heart can be killed!
The Sibo family has its own rules, and Sibo's selection process is strict. It's really disgusting that she made it so messy as if it were a joke! "
Yiyin sighed and said.
"Send someone to the Sanada Army and tell Sanada Nobushige that if there are ten thousand people going out to fight, how can one hundred troops be enough? I will give her two hundred."
Pusheng's hometown was shocked.
"Your Majesty?"
Yiyin snorted.
"Oda Nobunaga is personally in charge of Oiwa Mountain, and the elites such as the red and black mother-clothed clan, the small family clan, and the flag-honored clan are all there.
If the Sanada army can tear through the Shiyue defense line, capture Oiwa Mountain, and beat Oda Nobunaga into panic and flee.
Not only do I want to give Sanada Nobunaga two hundred shiba, but I also want to praise her as the best soldier in the world in public, making Sanada famous all over the world. "
In Yoshigan's view, capturing Oiwa Mountain and obtaining Shiba's organization for the Sanada people was a small means used by Sanada Nobunaga to boost morale.
In yesterday's secret conversation, Yoshigan had made it clear to Sanada Nobunaga that Oda Nobunaga was at Oiwa Mountain and asked her to be careful.
Others may not know it, but Sanada Nobushige himself should know very well that it would be an impossible task to advance with a partial force and break through the Oiwa Mountain Oda main formation.
Sanada Nobushige probably just wanted to boost the morale of the army, so Yoshihiro cooperated with her and promised a blank check of 200 Siba.
The Hamo clan also knew about this just now, and after thinking about it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"So that's it. Then I'll immediately send people to chase the Sanada army and repeat the blessings of your Majesty's two hundred Sibo. Haha, it's a pity that they can see it but can't get it."
Yiyin pointed at Pu Sheng's hometown and said with a smile.
"You, you, are acting like a complete businessman now, stingy."
Pu Shengshi Township complained.
"Your Majesty, Spo's strength was only a little over a thousand before, but in less than three years it has grown to nearly 2,000.
Especially in the Battle of Miyoshi, Lord Maeda Yoshida reported his merits and took away the 200 establishment, and the 100 establishment from the student soldiers who died in the battle. These were all unplanned over-staffing.
If the Spoken Fund is not restrained and grows at a rate of doubling in two to three years, even if the Spoken Fund can make money, there will be a day when the annuity payments cannot be sustained.
I have been favored by your Majesty and am fortunate enough to be in charge of the Tongxin Secretariat. I must take care of this family for your Majesty and not allow the Sibo Organization to expand indiscriminately in my hands! "
Seeing the seriousness of the little housekeeper on the face of the Hamo family, Yiyin stood up and kissed her pouting mouth, which shocked her immediately.
"Your Majesty!"
Yiyin touched her pretty face and smiled.
"I know you are working hard, and you are my lover. Only if you look after the Tongxin Secretariat for me can I rest assured.
I understand very well what you are thinking. Be patient, and you will eventually get what you want, and I will not let you down with your deep love. "
Kamojigo's heart was beating rapidly at this moment, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Your Majesty kissed yourself, was your Majesty making a promise to yourself?
The face of Kamao Clan turned red, and the heroic Ji Samurai suddenly became coquettish. Yoshihiro looked amused.
I think back then, Maeda Yoshiro was an innocent girl just a few days ago, but now, she has turned into a newly broken woman who refuses to let go of the land of reincarnation and insists on asking Yiyin to help her get through.
Yiyin's smile is a little weird, and he doesn't know what Kamou Clan Village will be like in the future. It's really exciting.
he said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about anything unrelated to the war. It's time for us to set off.
Order the third husband of Momochi to disperse all the ninjas, so that the ninjas of the Oda family cannot discover our movements.
The Tongxin people went around from the back of the mountain to the Fox Tomb, and sent people to Tangmu Mountain to ask Christina whether the condition of the artillery team was normal. "
Pu Sheng clan bowed solemnly.
"Hi!"
At this time, Yiyin and Kamao clan did not know what a strong chemical effect the promise of two hundred Sibo would bring.
Sanada Nobushige, who was stimulated by Umino Riichi, was really going for Oda Nobunaga. She was not trying to deceive the morale of the army as Yoshigan thought.
In Yoshigan's view, for this western expedition, the Sanada army expanded excessively, rapidly growing from less than a thousand to ten thousand men.
These ten thousand people were brought from the mountains to work as temporary workers. They seemed to be a large number, but their fighting power made people feel uneasy.
Yiyin underestimated the hardship of the mountain people and underestimated the attraction of Spo's system to these people.
It was this seemingly joking promise of two hundred Shiba troops that brought the Shiba army back from the cliff of defeat, and made Sanada famous as the best soldier in the world.
