In the mountains of Cheorwon County, the sister-in-law Tsuna's family also rode short Japanese horses, leading an army holding horse seals and flags high and wearing bamboo and iron leather armors, marching slowly because of the new year. On roads that have long been in disrepair and are filled with potholes. From time to time, I stopped and listened to the sound of wind in the mountains and forests, as well as the chirping of birds and the roar of apes.
His original name was Koheita Kawabe, and his ancestral home was Higashiyamado, Fuso Province, Hebian Village, Yamauchi Township, Uchida County, Shinshu. Therefore, he was also a member of the Yamauchi clan, a local feudal clan, who was born in Shinshu and was recognized posthumously. Therefore, during a clan hunting trip in the mountains, he was noticed by the young master because of his quick legs and feet when picking up prey.
Therefore, he soon became a follower of the young master Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Then, because of a pair of iron legs that are particularly good at running, in the continuous daily disputes between the Yamauchi family and the surrounding Shirakawa, Fujita and other famous landowners, they have established some hard work and small achievements in front of and behind the saddle, so they were given name.
Later, a separate branch of the Kamigu clan in Pyeongseong Kyung crossed the sea to marry the daughter of the Japanese king, and King Demyeong, who has continued to rule for hundreds of years. After the Tempo Rebellion, he learned from the pain that the territory was small and the disputes were frequent, and decided to unify the Fuso Domain for sixty years. Most of the princes and vassal families in the six states marched westward with all their strength to serve the king.
And behind all this, there are corresponding historical backgrounds and historical origins. Ever since the Japanese clan had been in civil strife and had been decimated by mountains of blood and corpses, the clan of the Japanese clan had almost become extinct. In the end, we could only ask the Tang Dynasty clan to take over the throne to settle the dispute. Along with the eastward journey, there were a large number of accompanying officials and tribesmen.
After this generation pacified and conquered most of Fusang, they also took advantage of the situation to break up the local soil and create vassal states as a shield for the new king's lineage. The immigrants and technology brought by these Tang princes who traveled east also allowed the local area, which was between a slave society and a primitive clan, to develop rapidly with backward economic models and productivity.
Therefore, for Xiao Pingtai by the river, although rice is the patent of the nobles above the village head, local servant, village head, etc., the daily wild vegetables grown in the barren mountainous areas are large roots and sweet potatoes, plus some miscellaneous cooking of rats, birds, and small animals. It's silly, but it can still be managed in most seasons, and there is still brown rice to eat during military service.
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. As a result of more than a hundred years of development, a larger population has been able to multiply in Fuso's relatively narrow land with many mountains and little land. Amidst the disputes between princes and feudal lords in the past dynasties over the competition for mountains, forests, pastures, water sources and farm boundaries, Pingcheng-kyo, which is governed by an arch, is also pregnant with contradictions and crises.
This eventually led to several palace changes and turmoil among Qingyu, Guangli, and Tianbao. It was not until King Deming came to power amidst the blood that he reestablished the authority of the royal court. At this time, news came from China that drastic changes and turmoil had occurred in the Kingdom of Heaven. For a time, the shackles that had long restrained the princes and vassals of Jiuzhou and Yanbian were loosened. opened.
Therefore, when King Deming, with the support of the two major branches of Yuan and Ping and strong external support, announced in Pingchengjing that he would use all the Fusang troops to support King Qin and protect the imperial line of the Tang Dynasty. Although the ancestors of the Yamauchi family were from the old Tu clan who had surrendered to the local area, they did not hesitate to stand in the camp of the new royal family headed by King Deming.
Therefore, in the following ten years of continuous unification battles that swept through Fuso's five regions, seven provinces, sixty-six states, and most of the princes and vassals; the Yamauchi clan took advantage of the situation and annexed many small and medium-sized local vassals nearby, and defeated others who took advantage of the situation. However, the coveted person became the dominant powerful feudal lord in the ten counties of Shinshu.
Then, in disguise, he used the semi-forced and semi-coercive conditions of Tachibana Anjixiong, the official appointed by the imperial court, to manage and calculate the output on his behalf, and brought all the manors, pastures and forests under the names of nobles in the capital under his control. Down. In this way, a vassal army with tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry could be maintained and supported.
Therefore, when the General Office of King Qin was set up in Pingcheng, he instigated rebels in Baekje, Goryeo and other places in Silla's homeland to cause rebellion; at the same time, he ordered troops to be wiped out and refused to use the east sea route of King Qin's army. The Yamauchi family almost spared no effort to send more than 8,000 troops, becoming one of the top three who landed in the first round.
Of course, enjoying the long-term peace and desolation of the East Road to the south; all kinds of crotch pulling and poor performance from the office to the local area. It also caused these perennial disputes and conflicts, which was unimaginable for the Fuso clan who was accustomed to endure hardships from top to bottom. Therefore, the Yamauchi family who landed first also benefited greatly.
Not only did they capture the population, property, and weapons from the wealthy areas along the east coast of the sea, but they also gained the status and authority to lead the tens of thousands of coalition troops along the Dongshan Road, consisting of more than a dozen subsequent arrivals at the small and medium-sized vassals. From Fuso to Kaidong, the Tsuna family, who was accustomed to fighting hard battles, was also lucky enough to make great achievements one after another.
Not only did he finish the whole battle without any illness or injury, but he was able to serve as a mere servant of the horse, and he had the power to be a sword/soldier in front of the emperor, leading 300 swordsmen and 800 spearmen; he can be called one of the few Furui in the world. Will. What he can rely on is the sharp perception and reaction he has developed during the years of conflicts between feudal clans.
Therefore, he is not known for his bravery and military skills, but he can always lead his troops to retreat at the moment before a crisis or threat comes; relying on the iron feet and quick reactions honed during his early years of hunting in the mountains to make a living; In the end, he was able to stand out from the crowd of colleagues who were rushing forward or making sudden advances.
Therefore, he is often able to maintain his strength in chaotic battles. Not only is he deeply loved and respected by his subordinates, but he is also supported by his young master. Today, Yamauchi Clan Army/Shinshu Army General General Yamauchi Yoshiharu has repeatedly been entrusted with important tasks. . However, just last year, the Yamauchi family, which was making great progress, encountered an accident and setback.
As the son of the general, Yamauchi Yoshiho, the deputy and chief general of Ina County, disappeared while leading a group of elite soldiers to pursue the fleeing remnants of the Kaitō family. It was not until more than a month ago that spies discovered buried battle traces in Yuanshan County, as well as remains and large armors used for public display.
However, General Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who lost his beloved son, was in Sangzhou and endured it for more than a month. After constantly mobilizing soldiers, horses, supplies and inquiring about information, we also obtained the permission and cooperation from the General Palace of King Qin in Haedong Wangji to recruit the surrendered Haedong Domain soldiers and Baekje military auxiliaries.
And as the first mover of the Yamauchi family. The Anesokoji Tsuna family led this group, with three thousand motley people including more than a thousand headquarters; they acted more as bait and test to penetrate into the enemy's territory, hoping to attract more local resistance forces. As long as he fights for a while, a large group of people will rush in and crush him.
This is also one of the main tactics used by the Shinshu clan army headed by the Yamauchi family since entering Kaitong, to first show the enemy's weakness and then strike later. Among the three powerful vassals that first landed in Kaidong, the Yamauchi family was responsible for raiding Jeonju. They used this to lure out Kim Hae Kyung's defenders, wipe them out, and then easily capture the city.
But now that he came all the way, he didn't encounter any decent resistance except for the endless so-called local volunteers and the numerous red pants gang members who were scurrying around. Even some of the apparently newly built villages and wooden villages in the mountains were completely unattended, or were abandoned after being built half way through.
This also made the Tsuna family a little uneasy. You must know that General Qin Wang, who leads the Fuso Allied Forces, is temporarily unable to go north to seize the remaining territory in Haidong due to the continued resistance in the states in the southeast of Haidong. But both the Maitreya Sect and the Baekje rebels have special channels for transmitting news.
Not to mention the spies and secretly controlled spies placed among the soldiers and civilians who fled north; and even some sources of information could be obtained from the hands of some feudal lords in the North who were trying to find another way out. Therefore, the Yamauchi family at the forefront of the offensive had actually already received news that someone was integrating the Northland.
However, the southern states have already been plundered, and the coalition forces of the various vassals, which are eager to digest their respective gains, are no longer so motivated to continue heading north. In addition, their private interests and grievances are intertwined, and they are not very united. Unless they are directly ordered and driven by the General's Mansion, most of them will do their own thing on weekdays.
Therefore, even if someone gets multiple corroborating news, the prince of the prison country who escaped from death in the Haidong Palace is now raising his banner in the north; recruiting troops and winning over the vassals from various states, thinking that they can jointly fight against the approaching enemy. Fuso army. However, the General's Mansion's desire to coordinate the follow-up strategy is not something that can be done in a short period of time.
This time, had it not been for the accidental death of Yamauchi Yoshiho, the son of the general, in the north, there would have been no way to gather so many troops in a short period of time. However, as the spies became more frequent and closer, the news about the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom and Beidi Xingtai became more and more disturbing.
Because, in just over half a year, the other party has successfully eliminated internal dissidents, taken over the public domain of the three states of Beijiyuan, Han, and Suzhou; and gained the loyalty and compliance of most of the feudal lords. Then, using Beiyuan Jing as a barrier, they defeated the 100,000 Maitreya Sect entrenched in Zhongyuan Jing. Something is wrong here.
So a few days ago, news came out from the insiders in Zhongyuan Jing that there seemed to be civil strife in Xingtai for power and gain; as a result, the prince of the country did not show up for many days. General Yoshiharu Yamauchi, who was preparing for the battle in Sahuo Town, Sangzhou, did not hesitate to issue the order to attack first, regardless of the various troops that had not yet been assembled.
Just waiting for the opportunity to destroy or defeat the existence of Beidi Xingtai. As the top priority, the subordinates of Tsunaya Aikoji and Koheita Kawabe are mentally prepared to go through several hard battles or an arduous tug of war.
Immediately, he squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain pass in the distance, which suddenly opened up like a trumpet. He thought to himself: If he wanted to set up an ambush, this would be his last chance. However, the detective horses running back and forth in the smoke and dust brought no reports of anyone and no discovery.
He was confused and doubtful until he met the first village in the wilderness; he saw a small group of local feudal representatives standing at the intersection to greet him, and then he got a preliminary answer.
