Counting from the time when Shiba Yoshigan went south, Satake Yoshige discovered that he was not in Furukawa City on the fifth day. On the tenth day, he went south to raid Sekishuku City, until he was blocked by Kogane City in the middle of Shimonoseki, which lasted almost twenty days.
To be fair, Satake Yoshige's battlefield performance this time was already very good.
But from the moment news was leaked from within the Oriental People to Oda Jiji, causing Yoshihiro Shiba to get the news in advance and leave Furukawa Castle, Satake Yoshige was already destined to end tragically.
God wants to kill me, and it is not a crime of war. Satake Yishige drags a group of pig teammates with him. There is really no other way. The harder he works, the more desperate he becomes.
She was blocked at the foot of Xiaojin Castle for eight days. Shiba Yiyin had swept across the Boso Peninsula, making the Boso Wu family tremble under the iron hoof of the saint.
The only good news is that the old fox Satomi Yiyao did not surrender.
Maybe there is not enough political chips and we can only hold on temporarily. Maybe we are losing too fast and we are too overwhelmed to surrender to the saint.
In short, when Yoshigan Shiba returned from the Boso Peninsula, Yoshihiro Satomi was still gritting his teeth and persisting, leaving the last glimmer of hope for Yoshige Satake.
Satake Yoshige's only chance now is to quickly break through Kogane Castle and seek a decisive battle with Shiba Yoshigan before the reinforcements from various places in the Kanto Palace arrive, and make a comeback in one battle.
The possibility of defeating the Saint upright is very slim, but if this last chance is given up now, the Eastern Army on the northern front will immediately fall apart.
Satake Yoshige had no choice. Even if she lied to herself and her subordinates, she could only bite the bullet and feel that she could do it and still give it a try.
Only in this way can the already shaky military morale be stabilized. Otherwise, the Northern Front Allied Forces will immediately fall apart and disperse.
But now that the situation has collapsed, Satake Yoshitaka thinks too beautifully and leaves a trace of delusion for herself, but others will not let her get her wish.
The Hojo clan was pregnant, and contrary to his usual role as a weak family governor, he forcefully forced the Hojo retainers to mobilize with all their strength to fight for the status of a Shiba Goddess for themselves and their children.
Satake Yoshige is already a piece of fish on the chopping board. The Hojo family must make the first move and use Satake Yoshige, a dead fish, to satisfy their own needs for meritorious service.
The Hojo family has good ideas, but others are not stupid. The Hojo family wants to take credit, but others also want the credit for saving the family.
In terms of who in the Kanto Service Office responded the fastest, the one who arrived at Shimonoseki first was Shima Katsume.
The three families of Golden Edge Silver Horn Grass and Uesugi Takeda and Hojo each occupy a corner, and the daily strategies can advance and retreat freely. However, when encountering something like this that is related to the blossoming of the eight states, the reaction is a step slower.
Among Shiba's important ministers, Yamazaka Yukisei was located to the north of the Echigo Mountains, and Sanada Nobushige was nestled in the ravines of Nishi Ueno, unable to send troops quickly.
Only Shima Shengmu was placed in the Kanba Prefecture by Shiba Yiyin from the beginning to be used as an emergency quick response force.
Shima Katsumon's Dahu Territory is in the southeast of Ueno Province. To the south is the Tone River, to the east is the Watarase River, and to the southeast is the core area of Kan Hachishu, including the Furukawa Territory.
At that time, Kenshin Uesugi took advantage of Yoshihiro Shiba's absence and went his own way, advancing the Kanto strategy alone, going south to attack the main country, and defeated Usui Castle.
It was Shima Katsuo who reacted quickly and united all the United Front forces to go south, helping Uesugi Kenshin's defeated army stabilize their position and slowly retreat to Echigo country.
In the chaos of the past years, the Kanto Shiba Territory under the command of Shima Katsuki has always acted as a ballast. Because of her outstanding ability, she has firmly occupied the position of chief of the united front and has a high prestige.
This time, the people of the East suddenly launched a rebellion and raided Furukawa City in an attempt to capture Shiba Yiyin and negotiate terms with the Kanto Minister.
After mutual calculations by all parties, the situation became increasingly chaotic. At this time, the country was completely in chaos.
Furukawa Castle did not deceive Satake Yoshige, Yuki Castle retained its strength, and Sekijuku Castle was attacked by Satake Yoshige in a sneak attack, blocking the support of the rebels.
Yoshihiro Satomi was unwilling to go north, but Yoshihiro Shiba went south and beat him up, chasing him all the way to the Boso Peninsula. Yoshihiro Satomi was also disgraced, and he shivered in Anbo country.
In Kogane Castle in the central part of the Lower Sovereign Kingdom, the Kamao Clan Township defended the city with the full cooperation of Oda Jiji and Miaoin Monk. Satake Yishige suffered a bloody head injury here and was unexpectedly unable to attack for a long time.
Just when everyone thought that the final decisive battle would be initiated by Shiba Yoshigan, who returned to the Lower Kingdom, the Hojo clan began to engage in full mobilization again, openly licking the saint and secretly being his daughter.
The mess in the Lower General Kingdom caused everyone to ignore Dao Shengmeng, the ballast stone placed by Shiba Yiyin in Guanbazhou.
As soon as the grand discussion at the Kanto Palace was dismissed, Dao Shengmeng quickly returned to Dahu's territory, Qingqi went south, and had already arrived at Liqiao on the front line.
Ribashi is located between Furukawa Castle and Sekijuku Castle. It is from here that the various rebel armies gathered along the Tone River went south, preparing to pass through Sekijuku Castle and head to the southern part of Shimoso Province to support the saint.
But after Kanjuku Castle changed hands, Satake Yoshitaka sent his cronies to sit in Kanjuku, block the river, and block the rebels from all sides at Ribashi Bridge to the northwest.
The rebels came from different sources and had no subordinates. No one was able to integrate the coalition forces. They were so embarrassed that they were blocked here until Shima Sheng Meng Qingqi arrived.
As soon as Shima Shengmeng arrived at Liqiao, he immediately set up his own formation and asked the leaders of various groups to come for an interview.
She was the leader of the united front and an important minister of Spo, so naturally all the families came to her with dignity.
Dao Shengmeng sat on the maza, watching people coming in and bowing from behind the curtain of the formation, and sitting on the ground. From early morning until three o'clock in the morning, she glanced at the people coming from each house, thinking about their whereabouts.
The rebels who came to the country were roughly divided into two categories.
First, the envoy sent by Shiba Yoshigan sent a message to mobilize the samurai family in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River nearby.
The origins of these rebels are mixed. Most of them are Chinese savages from the Village Alliance and belong to the middle and lower classes.
The second one is the various families of the United Front that were reviewed by the Kanto Imperial Palace.
Mainly the nearby Yura family of Kanayama Castle, the Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle, and the Narita family of Ninja Castle. They were forced by the Myoin monk to send troops. The family governor mobilized before he returned, so they came very quickly.
Seeing that everyone was almost here, Dao Sheng asked fiercely.
"Furukawa Castle, is there anyone coming from Iwafu Castle?"
Next, everyone looked around and shook their heads, making Dao Shengmeng couldn't help but snort.
Ashikaga Yoshiji of Furukawa Castle stood on the sidelines and watched, and Harusuke Kadata lost his own Sekijuku Castle and was still acting like a coward, really not a woman.
Shima Sheng said sharply.
"Come here! Go to Furukawa City and ask for me!
When the saint suffered, the concubines were filled with indignation and worked together to kill the thieves. General Guandong ignored him. Did he want to weaken the loyal hearts of the concubines?
And that Harusuke Kada!
Guansu City is her territory, and now it has been easily taken over by thieves, blocking the way for our righteous people to rescue the saint. She can pretend to turn a blind eye, does she have any sense of shame! "
"Hi!"
As for Ota Shimasa of Iwatsuke Castle, he is a veteran of the Musashi Kingdom, a tough nut even the Hojo family can't chew off.
She also participated in this big review. She should have returned to the territory by now. She must be forced to mobilize.
This local snake is very familiar with the geography of the Musashi Shimoso area and is well-connected with people. She cannot be allowed to dawdle through it. She must be dragged into the battle to have a better chance of winning.
Daosheng said in a deep voice.
"Send someone to ask Mr. Ota Shisho, saying that I am waiting for her to hunt Sekisu."
"Hi!"
"It is my general order that from today onwards, all samurai families in the East Musashi area will be responsible to me, and I will serve as the general."
The girl under the seat couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't Shimakatsu Takeo-sama too harsh?
We came to Juyi because we were inspired by the saints. Without the authority of the saints, you appointed yourself as the general to rule us. Is it too much? "
Dao Shengmeng smiled slightly.
"When the Saint returned to Kanto and passed through the Dahu Territory, he had already decided to merge the Higashi Musashi territory into the Kanto Shiba Territory, and I, the acting official of the Kanto Shiba Territory, would be responsible.
Although the government affairs of the Higashi Musashi Land have not yet been handed over, the ownership of the Higashi Musashi Land was already clear when the Hojo family presented it to the saint.
In the name of Kanto's Shiba leader, I request the Tomusashi warriors to accompany me on the expedition. It is within my authority and there is no need to apply to the saint. "
The Ji warrior was speechless for a moment, then bowed and then retreated.
It is easy to guess that the land of Higashi Musashi was dedicated to the saint by the Hojo family and will probably come under the management of the Kanto Shiba Territory in the future.
But the samurai family is most afraid of having their military power taken away from them. The Tomusashi samurai family was so excited that he didn't think clearly and became the leader.
Shiba territory is known as the land of lighthouses and is famous for being extremely rich. Ever since the Higashimusashi samurai family learned that their territory was given to the Shiba family by the Hojo family, everyone was extremely happy.
This fool had offended the future leader before he even got started. At this moment, he felt extremely regretful. How could he dare to talk nonsense again?
Shima Sheng coughed violently, touched his stomach to suppress his vomiting, and asked solemnly.
"Who has any objections? You can speak freely during the military discussion. You might as well say so."
Tomusashi Bushi, you look at me and I look at you. Who is willing to disobey Dao Shengmeng at this time? In the future, whether my family can be popular in Spurling, Kanto depends on other people's faces!
All Ji warriors had a clear understanding of each other and kowtowed to the ground together.
"I will obey the general's orders!"
Within this formation, nearly half of the Ji warriors bowed their heads, making Shima Shengmeng nodded with satisfaction.
In order to rush for time, she rode to the front line with few soldiers around her.
Although the quality of these Tomusashi warriors varied, they were her future direct subordinates after all. They did not dare to take too many chances when out in battle and could barely be used.
Then, Shima Katsu fiercely looked at the three married women of the Yura family, headed by Yura Kunushige.
As long as the three families of Kanayama Castle Yura, Ashikaga Castle Nagao, and Ninja Castle Narita are taken care of, Shima Katsuki will control most of the Kuribashi rebels.
The support of most of the people was enough for Shima Shengmeng to coerce the remaining rebels to obey orders and go south to attack Sekisu Castle, overturning Satake Yoshige's wishful thinking.
Shima Sheng Mengqiang was still holding back the feeling of vomiting, covering his stomach with one hand, pretending to be nonchalant.
The anger in her heart was soaring. Satake Yishige, this bastard, dared to challenge her lover and wanted to hurt the father of her child.
Shima Katsuki will not give Satake Yoshigeage the opportunity to face Shiba Yoshige. She will cut off this bastard's head with her own hands and bring it to the saint to be favored.
Shima Shengmeng was very excited today. Even the pain of morning sickness could stimulate her even more.
She is finally pregnant! Pregnant with a saint’s child!
When Shima Shengmu met Shiba Yiyin, he was already a Samurai Hime in his early twenties, and it has been eight years since then.
In this medieval era, when the average life expectancy was more than 20 years old, and a person could be called an old woman at the age of 30, Dao Shengmeng, who was nearly 30 years old, thought that he would no longer have this blessing in his life.
This time Yoshihiro returned to Kanto, Shimakatsu dragged him to fight for 300 rounds. Originally, he wanted to disgust Yamanaka Yukimori, so that she would arrive late and lose everything.
Unexpectedly, God favored and God had eyes, Dao Shengmeng unexpectedly got pregnant!
At this moment, she was more excited than ever. She wanted to kill the annoying Satake Yoshige, and ran to Shiba Yoshige as soon as possible to tell him the good news.
I have it myself! With his child! My life is finally complete!
