Lin Zhengxin was very moved.
real.
Lin Zhengxin never thought that he could actually make Asai Toshimasa pay such heavy casualties to save him. The moment he opened his eyes, Lin Zhengxin's eyes were filled with tears.
Looking at Toshimasa Asai and Noomasa Asai covered in blood, at the injured samurai beside him, and at the distracted farmers and soldiers not far away, even though Lin Zhengxin was speechless, he didn't know how to speak at this moment.
"Etsu and Echigo are guarding the palace. I have no way to repay my life-saving grace. I can only serve the main family with my broken body! Even if I, Lin Masanobu, face seven hardships and hardships in my life, I will remain loyal to the Asai family until the last moment! " Lin Zhengxin held it in for a long time and finally said these touching words.
The Seven Difficulties and Eight Sufferings are Buddhist terms.
The seven hardships refer to the difficulty of losing the sun and the moon, the difficulty of losing the stars, the difficulty of fire, the difficulty of rain, the difficulty of bad wind, the difficulty of excessive Yang, and the difficulty of evil thieves. The eight sufferings are birth, old age, illness, death, hatred and resentment, and love. Separation, failure to seek, and the five Yins are strong.
This word refers broadly to all suffering in the world.
So what Lin Zhengxin means is roughly "I will be loyal to the Asai family even if I am broken into pieces, and I will shed the last drop of blood for the Asai family even if I die"!
Toshimasa Asai and Noomasa Asai were equally moved after hearing this.
Such simple words, such a lovely person, but it's a pity, why can't this guy be Asai Kiyomasa?
"Asshole! Do you know how many troops we wasted and the price we paid to save you?"
"You are just a low-level warrior in the family, do you deserve this from me?"
"Why are you wearing the clothes of Echizenshou? Where is Echizenshou now?"
Lin Zhengxin was wearing the clothes of Asai Kiyomasa, so people like Asai Toshimasa mistakenly thought that Lin Zhengxin was Asai Kiyomasa.
I tried my best to retrieve the "body". I was originally very happy that this person was not dead, but after a closer look, this was not Kiyomasa Asai at all.
Is it equivalent to saying that Toshimasa Asai and others were fighting to the death for a long time just now, so their work was in vain?
Originally, there were still tears in Lin Zhengxin's eyes at this time, and he was still full of gratitude in his heart. But when he heard the words of Asai Toshimasa and others, Lin Zhengxin suddenly felt that his heart was cold!
It turns out, am I just being sentimental?
Sure enough, people like me will not be valued by others.
Sometimes I really envy those people who are able to stand out. Compared with them, except for my handsome face, I am nothing!
At this moment, Lin Zhengxin suddenly made a secret decision in his heart that he would never waste his time in this life, and he must make himself a master!
Of course, now Lin Zhengxin can only return to the issue of Asai Toshimasa honestly.
"In fact, before the two adults arrived, Echizen Shouden had already returned to the main formation."
"At that time, we were surrounded by the enemy. In order to attract the enemy's attention, the Echizen defender exchanged the swords with those below." Lin Zhengxin raised his head timidly, not daring to look directly into Asai Toshimasa's eyes.
What a cheat!
Asai Toshimasa and Asai Nomasa looked at each other, with sadness and helplessness in their eyes.
"Luckily my brother is okay, otherwise Kuraya will definitely blame us if he finds out!"
"Yeah, fortunately, brother is smart and didn't take any risks!"
After hearing the words in my ears, I saw that Toshimasa Asai and the two men directly ignored their achievements, and the previous feelings in their hearts disappeared for a while.
This is the tragedy of little people.
There are tens of millions of people in the world, but how many Toyotomi Hideyoshi are there?
well.
The world is so big, where is my hometown?
Uchiho Kawara, Asai main formation.
Ryomasa Asai had just finished inspecting the wounded camp nearby, and after visiting the injured ashigaru one by one, he returned to the main camp with a heavy heart.
"My lord, today our family has twenty-four ashigaru killed and eighty injured, and there are seven members of the clan's gang who were killed and wounded. In addition, the family's casualties increased to more than a hundred yesterday." Beside Ryomasa Asai, Hidenobu Asai, who is from the first class, looked a little confused. not good.
The casualties of one hundred people may not seem like many, but if you think about it carefully, it is not so.
First, casualty rates in this era were inherently low.
Second, if a joint battle lasts for a long time, it will take one or two months. If the casualty rate continues at this rate, it will not be long before everyone in the Asai family is dead.
"Gorobei, how are your negotiations with Watanabe Hayato (sun) going?"
"The other party has agreed to my request. This is the oath and invitation. Please read it, my lord!" As he said that, Asai Hidenobu took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.
This is a secret letter, marked with a monogram previously agreed upon by both parties. After confirming that the monogram above was correct, Asai Ryomasa opened the letter and read it.
"Very good! If Hayato is helping, great things can happen!" Ryomasa Asai suddenly became excited, then turned to ask Dohi Mashun who was standing beside him, "Where are Horijirozaemon's troops now?" ?”
"We arrived at Iwakiyama yesterday!"
After hearing this, Asai Ryomasa quickly walked to the map, found the location of Iwakiyama, and continued, "The Rokkaku family's main formation is located in this valley, and Iwakiyama is on the north side of it."
"The valley is bounded by Mount Iwaki to the north and Mount Iris to the south. There are only two exits on the east and west sides."
"Watanabe Hayato's troops are deployed near Iris Mountain Castle, while the Hori family's troops are at Iwakiyama. The Rokkaku family is sandwiched between the south and the north!"
"If Hayato Watanabe and Horijirozaemon are attacking the Rokkaku family's forces at the same time, they must not be concerned about the head and tail. We will send another force across the Amano River to launch a strong attack and pin it between Iwakiyama and Uchiho Kawara. , then the Rokkaku family’s left wing troops will be cut off and unable to make contact with our formation.”
"If the Rokkaku family's rear team comes to support, Watanabe Hayato can pretend to retreat, but actually attack the Rokkaku family's little pack team. If the Rokkaku family's food and grass can be destroyed, even if the Rokkaku family cannot win on the battlefield, then Rokkaku The family has to retreat!"
The more Ryomasa Asai analyzed, the more he felt that he had a great chance of winning this time, and it was even as if he had already stepped on the scale of victory. This feeling is simply unprecedented. Even yesterday Asai Ryomasa couldn't believe that one day he would be able to defeat Rokkaku Sadeyori!
"My lord, Hayato Watanabe is talking about being a villain. Are his words trustworthy?" Doi Mashun asked warily from the side.
Asai Ryomasa hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Now that the matter has come to an end, I don't have to hide it from you. Hayato Watanabe is a true man of the family!"
"When I was defeated by the Rokkaku family last time, I had a backup plan! Watanabe Hayato's previous surrender to the Rokkaku family was an expedient measure. The purpose was to go deep into the place and report the Rokkaku family's movements to our family at all times. This time The Rokkaku family's dispatch of troops was informed by Watanabe Hayato."
"Is this happening?" A group of Asai retainers who didn't know what was going on exclaimed.
Asai Ryomasa nodded, "So Hayato Watanabe must be trustworthy, and this is our only chance to defeat the Rokkaku family!"
"This time I want to put myself to death and live again. Are you willing to die with me?"
After speaking, Asai Ryomasa looked at the surrounding retainers.
"If this is the case, I am willing to die in service to the lord!"
In response to Asai Ryomasa, a group of retainers gave an unequivocal answer.
At this moment, Asai Ryomasa felt that a layer of light suddenly shrouded his body.
Could it be that this is the glory that belongs to the winner?
