As everyone knows.
Well, people of this era didn’t know that.
Before Kyogoku Takamasa traveled through time, he was a part-time street writer. He wrote the book "The Ambition of the Tsugawa Family", and its sales were very poor.
Out of interest and hobbies, Kyogoku Takamasa put a lot of effort into this book. Although the book has not been completed as of time travel, there are still nearly 3 million words of stuff.
And the Hazu Saburobei mentioned by Hazu Gouyin and Kyogoku Takamasa just now is the character in the book "The Ambition of the Tsugawa Family".
Kyogoku Takamasa did not expect that he would meet the characters in his book after traveling through time. He was indeed very surprised.
And if Uzu Yukihide appears, then other characters such as "Kamiyama Hanbei", "Takagi Yoshitoki", "Kamao Hisaki", "Aitokubo Kakua", etc., and even the protagonist in his own book "Tsukawa Souji" Do they all exist?
It seems that I have to send someone to Deyu if I have time. What if there really is one?
Of course, even if there is Tsugawa Souji, he is just a little kid at the moment...
...
Learning about Yutsu Hide's information was just an interlude. What Kyogoku Takamasa cared about most at the moment was Asaomei County, which was within reach.
Two hundred people were left to guard Umedo Castle, and then Higuchi Naofousa, Kyogoku Hidemasa, Kyogoku Takakatsu, and Numata Mitsukazu and others were asked to take one hundred people each to take over Sengusa, Agaki, Tanemura and other cities. Kyogoku Gaozheng and Uesaka Munanobu continued to march toward Mingjun with more than a thousand remaining troops.
However, not long after the troops left Umedo Castle, shouts of killing suddenly came from the front.
"Inuhachiro, go see what's going on ahead!"
Yamaoka Inuhachiro quickly took the order.
Soon, Yamaoka Inuhachiro ran back.
"My lord, there are nearly a thousand troops fighting in front! The flags on one side are the troops of the Akabori family, and the villains on the other side don't recognize them!"
Hearing Yamaoka Inuhachiro's words, Kyogoku Takamasa fell into silence.
At this time, Kuchiki Takazuna, who was beside Kyogoku Takamasa, suddenly said, "My lord, when we were fighting in Umedo Castle just now, we detected the force of a powerful clan coming from the southeast of Umedo Castle."
"Thinking about it, Akabori Tomanobu must have sent some troops to meet the enemy in order to avoid being attacked in the rear."
"Um."
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded, and then continued to look at Yamaoka Inuhachiro, "How is the battle going?"
"The Akabori family is at a disadvantage. According to the villain, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long before they collapse!"
Kyogoku Takamasa immediately made a decision, "Send the order for the entire army to attack and rush into the battlefield. If there is resistance, shoot to death!"
"We must rush in before the winner is determined on the battlefield ahead, otherwise the defeated Akabori family may break up our formation!"
"kill!"
Kyogoku Takamasa took the spear and took the lead, Uesaka Munanobu was not to be outdone and followed behind with his spear drawn.
Kyogoku Gaomasa rushed out, and the more than a thousand troops behind him suddenly gained confidence, because their general was the famous Omi Yasha Saburo.
With Kyogoku Takamasa as their backbone, even if there were many dangers ahead, the Ashigaru people did not feel a trace of fear.
What's more, what I heard from the samurai master just now is that there are only nearly a thousand enemy troops in front, and there are still two wealthy families fighting.
Even a little bit? !
.......
Three miles southeast of Umedo City is an unknown small village.
At this time, in the open space outside the small village, two armies were fighting fiercely.
One of the troops with the "Zuo Sanba" flag seal was obviously at a disadvantage, and was overwhelmed by a group of soldiers with the "Maruno Ni Yinliang" flag seal.
Hamada Gutada in the formation felt a little pain in his head.
Not to mention the previous defeat by the Kyogoku family when they attacked Umedo Castle. I didn't expect that the Kasukabe family's troops would have such strong combat effectiveness. It was simply a shame.
Seeing the ashigaru retreating beside him, Hamada Tomitadashi would have ordered a retreat by now if he hadn't been worried about being punished by Akabori Tomanobu after the war.
"No retreat!"
"The Akabori family's troops are behind us, and reinforcements will arrive once Umedo Castle falls!"
"Get on top of them all!"
Hamada Gutada kept shouting and shouting in the formation, trying to restore the declining morale.
I don’t know whether it was Hamada Tomitadashi’s prestige at home or the words he shouted. The Hamada family’s ashigaru have indeed improved. In some areas, the ashigaru have stopped the trend of collapse and barely blocked the influx of Kasukabe family. Ashigaru.
At the rear of the battlefield, the head of the Kasukabe family, Kasukabe Iakuni, and several samurai were standing aside to watch the battle, with indescribable relief on their faces.
"Lord, according to the current battle situation, the enemy will be defeated in less than half an hour. At that time, we can take advantage of the victory and attack Umedo Castle!"
"When I think that the Akabori family has been busy for a long time but ended up making wedding clothes for me, I can't help laughing!"
Hearing the words of the two samurai beside him, Kasukabe Kakuni also said with excitement: "In this way, we can capture the Genben County in one fell swoop, and then wipe out the remnants of the Akabori family. Unifying the two counties of Genben and Tomei is just around the corner!"
"At that time, our family will become the leader of the Beishi family and compete with the Kobe and Guan clans for supremacy! Restore the prestige of the three Beishi families!"
"The Kasukabe clan finally rose to prominence under the hands of my great master, Kasukabe Daisen!"
When I think of the bright future of the Kasukabe family, the hearts of the Kasukabe family suddenly feel filled with pride.
Seeing how affectionate Kasukabe was, Kasukabe and others on the side quickly complimented him: "This is all because of your master's command!"
"Hahahahaha!"
There are many wealthy families in Ise country, and the forty-eight families of Beishi are divided into one side.
Looking at the whole country of Ise, the Kitahata family is the strongest in ruling Minami Ise. The Nagano family of Nagano Castle in Anno County and the Seki family of Kameyama Castle in Suzuka County are also known as the "three Ise families". These three companies are the strongest and have unlimited glory.
The Senge, Kobe, and Kasukabe families are collectively known as the "Hokusei Three Families", and the Kitahata, Nagano, and Seki families are reluctantly collectively called the "Ise Six Families." But it is obvious that the Kasukabe family is just a make-up of people, and they rely on the legacy of their ancestors.
After all, the Kasukabe family's ancestors were also rich.
But now, once the Kasukabe family defeats the Akabori family and unifies the two counties of Tomei and Genben, they can truly compete with the "three Ise families" for supremacy over the two counties.
How can this not make everyone in the Kasukabe family laugh?
However, soon, Kasukabe Kakuni and others were awakened from their sweet dreams.
"My lord, something is wrong. A large number of enemy troops are coming from the direction of Umedo Castle!"
Kasukabe Kakuni's face tightened.
Mader pretended to be out just now, so she could only force herself to be calm and said: "It doesn't matter, what if the Akabori family comes with reinforcements?"
"They have just been fighting in Umedo Castle for several days, and they must be out of men and horses at this time! Even though there are many people on the other side, the situation on the battlefield is clear now, and there is no possibility for the Akabori family to make a comeback!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kasukabe Iakuni felt that it made sense.
The highest level of lies is to lie to oneself. It is obvious that Kasukabe family understands the true meaning of it.
"My lord, it's not the Akabori family's troops, it's the Kyogoku family. The Kyogoku family's army is here to kill us!"
thump!
Kasukabe Kenoku's legs suddenly softened and he sat on the ground.
The last thing Kasukabe Kokutoku saw before he fainted was the dense "Four Eyes Knot" flag seals.
Hey! Wake up!
The foreman ordered the bricks to be moved!
At this moment, Kasukabe Kakuni finally woke up from his dream...
