Ise, Nagashima Enjoji Temple.
Lianchun of Yuanzheng Temple, who is seventy years old, is sitting in the main hall of the temple, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
As the sixth son of Honganji Renjun, the first two generations of the Ichikai sect, Renjun Yuanzhengji has a respected position within the Ichikai sect. In his early years, Renshun of Ganjoji Temple served as abbot at Otsu Kyōjoji Temple and Kawachi Kyōjoji Temple. Later, he went to Ise and founded Nagashima Genjoji Temple.
Nagashima Enjoji Temple is the third largest force in the entire Ichiko sect after Omotoyama and Kaga Ichiko sect, and Renjun of the Enjoji Temple plays a decisive role here.
However, time has made people grow old, and Yuanzhengsi Lianchun no longer cares about the affairs of the temple, and passed the mantle to his son Yuanzhengsi Zhenghui.
Renjun actually refused to send troops to Ise this time. He believed that the Kyogoku family was now showing its strength, and there was no need for Nagashima Enjoji to fight to the death with the Kyogoku family at this juncture.
Even though the war situation in Ise is now very good, Wanzhengji Renjun still doesn't feel the slightest joy in his heart.
The Kyogoku family could turn around in such a short period of time, how could it be so easy to deal with them?
"Report!"
"The host has led his army to capture Akaborikan. The enemy general Kasahara Matasaburo and the national clan Hazuzu abandoned the city and fled! When the host was pursuing the enemy to Sengusa Castle, he encountered the troops of the Nagano family and the Seki family. The two sides fought fiercely for several hours. Decide the outcome!"
"The host is currently surrounding Sengusa Castle. Ikakus from all over Ise have already begun to rush to Sengusu Castle. In this battle, our temple is expected to completely annihilate the Kyogoku family's troops!" A man who looked like a monk soldier walked up to him with excitement on his face. Yuanzheng Temple Lian Chun spoke from behind.
Yuan Jingji Renjun didn't even raise his eyelids, and said in an extremely calm tone: "It's just a mere capture of Akahorikan. What is there to be excited about?"
"Even if the Kyogoku family's troops in Ise are annihilated, what if we take over all the members of the Benniji County?"
"The foundation of the Kyogoku family is in Kitaomi!"
"This time our Ichigo Sect has launched an attack against Kitaomi, and it will break out in a few days. By then, the Kyogoku family will probably be in dire straits!" The man who looked like a monk soldier said nonchalantly.
"madness!"
"Enryakuji Temple has always regarded Omi as its opponent. No matter how strong our Yixiang sect is, if we meet Enryakuji Temple in Omi, there will be no good results!" Yuan Jingji Renjun opened his eyes and hated Tie. He said indifferently.
Xuan Gao, Anlebo, was stunned and said with a puzzled face: "Is Enryakuji Temple going to intervene in our dispute with the Kyogoku family?"
"Hmph! If someone provokes a dispute on the territory of our Yixiang Sect, will our Yixiang Sect still swallow their anger?"
"That's right!" Anlefang Xuangao said, touching his round bald head.
"According to the news, Kyogoku Sakyo-shin has returned to Omi from Wakasa. During this period, the Kyogoku family has frequently mobilized troops in Omi! There is even news that Kyogoku Sakyo-shin has led his army to Ise!"
"Although I live in seclusion, it does not mean that I am completely ignorant of worldly affairs! Sakyo Susumu Kyogoku personally led the army. Not only did Zheng Hui not take any precautions, but he sent out all the monks and soldiers in the temple!"
"What if the Kyogoku family's magical soldiers descend from the sky and directly surround the Wanzheng Temple?"
Hearing what Yuan Zhengji Lianchun said, Anlefang Xuan Gao said with some disbelief: "How is this possible?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
"Report!"
"Something bad has happened. Tens of thousands of enemy troops suddenly appeared more than ten miles north of the temple, and they are rapidly advancing towards the temple! The enemy's front line is a cavalry team, and they are holding the four-eye knot pattern flag seal of the Omi Kyoukoku clan!"
An Lefang Xuan Gao:..........
Yuanzhengji Renshun: MMP!
...
Ise, Thousand Kinds of Castle.
As Yuanzheng Temple Zhenghui led Yikui to surround Qianzhong City, the number of Yikui near the city gathered more and more, and their number exceeded 30,000.
Among these 30,000 people, there are monks and soldiers from Yuanzheng Temple who have always been against the mob, as well as some ronin who joined temporarily.
Although the personnel are mixed, the number of people is indeed large, and it can be said to be huge.
The current helmsman of Changdao Yuanzheng Temple, Yuanzheng Temple Zhenghui, is 42 years old and in middle age.
Taking over the baton from his father Yuanzhengji Renchun, Yuanzhengji Zhenghui is also high-spirited and eager to do something to prove himself, and is not someone who depends on his father for a living.
Sometimes, when their parents are too good, they appear to be too incompetent.
Therefore, Yuanjoji Zhenge needed to prove his ability to the world, so the Takeda family just fanned the flames a little, and Yuanzhengji Zhenge ignored his father's opposition and started a plan against the Kyogoku family.
"Host, urgent report from the temple!"
Just as Zhenghui of Wanzhengji Temple stood proudly on the hilltop near Qianzhong Castle and looked into the distance, a monk came to Zhenghui of Wanzhengji Temple with sweating profusely.
Yuanzheng Temple Zhenghui said impatiently: "Is it my father's letter again? I won't listen to it!"
"Host, something bad has happened!" Looking at the arrogant face of Wanzhengji Zhenge, the monk could no longer care about Wanzhengji Zhenge's mood and said directly: "Kyogoku Sakyoshin suddenly led tens of thousands of troops to surround him. Yuanzheng Temple, Yuanzheng Temple is now under siege by enemy troops, I’m afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?!" Yuanzhengsi Zhenghui suddenly panicked.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a few more days!"
"How can it be?!"
"How could this happen? The Kyogoku family dispatched tens of thousands of troops. Why didn't we know in advance? Are the temples in Omi all rubbish?" Yuanzhengji Nenghui's breathing was rapid, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"President! According to the intelligence, among the troops surrounding Yuanzheng Temple, there are only more than a thousand troops from the Kyogoku family, and most of the remaining troops are from the Mino people!" the monk quickly explained. .
"Meinong National Public?"
"Why did they get involved with the Kyogoku family?" Yuanzhengji Zhenghui looked at the monk in confusion, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"This... this poor monk doesn't even know! But the situation in Yuanzheng Temple is critical now. Please ask the abbot to quickly withdraw troops and return reinforcements, otherwise everything will be over!" The monk cried with runny nose and tears.
Yuanzhengsi Zhenghui was suddenly confused.
Looking at Yuanben Ergun who was already being pushed to the ground and being rubbed by him, and looking at Chigusa Castle which was surrounded by him very close at hand, he was clearly just one step away from success, so why did it end like this?
Why?
Why would God make such a joke on me?
There were tears in the corners of Yuanzheng Temple Zhenghui's eyes.
Haha, why is this necessary?
In a word, you are not the protagonist, you have no life!
...........
In Sengusa Castle, Kasahara Kiyotsuna sat dejectedly in the palace with a blood-stained cloth bag wrapped around him.
Among the four castles of Ise, only the Akaborikan he was guarding was captured. Although this was also related to the main attack direction of Nagashima Gonjoji Temple in Akaborikan, if the city fell, it was lost, and Kasahara Kiyosuna had nothing to defend. .
Facts speak louder than words.
For several days in a row, Kasahara Kiyotsuna was very depressed, which could be described as having trouble sleeping and eating.
Kyogoku Hidemasa, who was sitting opposite Kasahara Kiyosuna, looked at Kasahara Kiyosuna with disdain. People who get to power by flattering are not worth mentioning!
