Chapter 8 full effect
After drinking for three rounds, Kakizaki said: "Your tactics are wonderful. You played well today, but tomorrow won't be so smooth! It's best to have this plan!"
Thinking back, he felt resentful and his voice trembled.
Saobu said with a smile: "That's right! If you don't have your Excellency today, it would not only be that little achievement! Just when we were about to slaughter Jinjin Guoji, it was a pity that we fell short because of you as the mainstay! Why are you so helpful? Akita?"
He smiled flatteringly.Kakizaki chuckled, and his mood seemed to improve.
"Why? Akita is my father-in-law! You don't know that I married his daughter?"
Sao Bujie pretended to be shocked: "Oh, you married a wife, I didn't even know it!"
"have no idea?!"
"Yes! I don't believe it when I hear people say that."
"Why don't you believe it?"
Kakizaki became angry and was about to scold again.
Sobusuke said calmly, "I know that Akita has a boy, but he really doesn't have a daughter! So when I heard that you married Akita's daughter, I thought it might be a misinformation. You should just take a concubine. rather than a wife."
"What concubine! It's the wife I Mingmei is marrying, she is Akita's adopted daughter!" Kakizaki finally shouted out.
"Calm down and listen to me, it's hard to talk like this!"
Sao Bujie first calmed his emotions, and continued: "It's his adopted daughter who has the problem, and I don't know where the girl came from. Who knows if she is a woman from a good family? Just such a woman of unknown origin, who is just thin-skinned and tender-skinned. It's a maid who adopted you as an adopted daughter and married you in order to win you over! So, I said it was marrying a concubine, how could it be marrying the wife!"
Kakizaki didn't say a word, but stared at Sabusuke angrily.
Sobusuke continued: "I think, with your status as Kakizaki and Izumi Mamoru, if you want to marry a regular wife, as long as you look at the daughter of any famous courtier, the other party will definitely come to the door happily in a sedan chair, right? Akita Hitachi counts What?! It's just a foreigner of unknown origin, who used his two sons to serve the ancestors as Lord Jing, cling to power, and become the elder of the Nagao family in Kasugayama. Even his own daughter is not worthy of your Kakizaki family background. Not as good as you brave warrior."
"..."
"What's more, he is still an ungrateful beast. He was originally a homeless stranger. Fortunately, he first guarded his favor and became the chief elder. After his two sons also inherited the famous family, they enjoyed all the glory, but the kindness to him is as great as a mountain. As soon as Jinggong died, he immediately betrayed the young master. Jingkang, the second son of Jinggong, and Jingfang, the third son, were brutally murdered by him. It's a pity to recognize him as father-in-law, this is the heartfelt words of an old friend!"
Sobusuke spoke logically and sincerely. Although Kakizaki wanted to explode, he suppressed it and fell into a strange thought.
After a long time, he said, "You want to persuade me!"
"Listen to me quietly first. Akita is not only a traitor of Kasuga-san's Nagao family, but also an enemy of the court. You also know that the year before last, Beijing issued an imperial edict to Kasuga-san to crusade against the rebels in the country. Who else are Akita and his son? Allying with this kind of person may tarnish your Kakizaki samurai family tradition, I feel really sorry for you."
"Imperial decree? Haha..."
Kakizaki laughed, his burly body shaking.
Sobusuke still had a serious expression on his face.
"The imperial decree is the imperial decree, and those who violate it are public enemies of the court."
Although the words were short, they were as sharp as a dagger.Kakizaki's smile disappeared, and his face was gloomy.He grabbed the wine glass and wanted to pour the wine, but found that his hands were shaking, so he retracted to his knees and stared at Sabusuke fiercely: "You are here to persuade me! Come on, we are at odds with each other now, so be careful what you say Come on, lest I kill you!"
Sobusuke smiled slightly: "Really? Then you can kill me! It seems that what I said is not to your liking, because I came to persuade you to go to Akita, Tochio."
Kakizaki didn't move, neither did Sabusuke, the two stared at each other, looking at each other, Kakizaki's expression softened.
"What will others say? I have betrayed Santiao Laigui before!" He showed a shy expression that he had never seen before.
"Anyway, what are the scruples? At this point, I don't need to say, you have seen the three perish with your own eyes. Isn't it the same today, what would it be like without your help? To be a person, you must recognize the current situation , Mr. Jing Hu is very courageous, although he is only eighteen years old, his tactics are superb, you have seen it before..."
Sobusuke wanted to say more, but Kakizaki waved his hand: "Go back!"
Sao Bujie stared at him, and immediately responded: "Okay, I'll take my leave!"
He stood up leisurely, and Kakizaki escorted him outside the camp.
Saobusuke led the riders along the dark mountain road, thinking that the other party's reaction was enough.
The strategy of persuading Kakizaki to come and go was proposed by Sabusuke and approved by Jinghu.He blamed himself for causing Jinghu brothers to turn against each other because of his brother's incident, and thus triggered Santiao's attack. He wanted to do more for Jinghu, and he wanted to make more contributions.
Kakizaki sent Saobusuke away, returned to the place just now, warmed the wine and drank again.He first downed four or five cups vigorously, then sipped slowly, thinking about the words of Bujie while drinking. What he said about ungrateful beasts, traitors, and enemies of the court sounded quite harsh at the time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it seems to make sense.At the beginning, I also joined Santiao after fully considering the advantages and disadvantages, but now because of the advantages and disadvantages, my belief has to be shaken. More importantly, he found that Jing Hu seemed to be a rare general.Jinghu built the ancient city of Tochio and attacked Junjing Nagao, but he was only fifteen years old; in the winter of the same year, he not only repelled the three armies that attacked again, but also killed Junjing.Kakizaki did not participate in these two battles. After hearing the news, he was just stunned. He thought that he won the first battle by chance. In the second battle, there were reinforcements from Usami, Haruki and Ueda, and Usami's command. No wonder. Having said that, he was only a fifteen-year-old kid at the time, and his wisdom is still admirable.Now that he is eighteen, he is getting smarter, who knows what he will become in the future? Kakizaki thought to himself: "Because Qingjing is a good-for-nothing person, there is no doubt about it, so he joined Sanjo. Even if Junjing died, he still served Sanjo wholeheartedly and became Akita's son-in-law. But now Jinghu is so outstanding. , should not be underestimated, it is likely to replace Qingjing..." Kakizaki thought again: "Jinghu now accuses Zhaotian of being an ungrateful beast, a traitor, and an enemy of the imperial court. Although it is just a clamor, it will be useless when the three forces are still strong, but if Jinghu gains power, these accusations will probably have a lot of influence. Great lethality!" After thinking about it, he couldn't get his wife's fair and tender face out of his mind.This woman is beautiful, and he loves her so much, but she can't bear it. Recently, she always says: "Find someone else to accompany you tonight!" She was very thin, her face was as pale as a pear blossom.There are quite a few men who like this kind of woman, such is the Qingjing of Mount Chunri, and his beloved Fujizi is so thin. In fact, Kakizaki still likes plump and gorgeous women, and the Spring and Autumn Erniang, who was given to Jinggong a long time ago, suits his appetite best.It's a pity that these beautiful twin sisters passed away one after another eight years ago, and until today, he still thinks of them occasionally. Thinking back to the topic, after all, Ming Media is marrying his wife, if he wants to sever ties with Zhaotian, shouldn't he immediately divorce her and go home?He is really reluctant. He thought hard for a while, and suddenly realized: "Even if Zhaotian wants me to return it, as long as I say no, my wife will not dare to say that I want to go back. They are not biological father and daughter, and they have no family relationship. They are just to marry her to me. And in the name of an adopted daughter, if I don't pay it back, what can he do to me? I won't pay it back, absolutely not..." He drank and thought about it, thought about drinking and drinking, and unconsciously became drunk, and his thoughts became chaotic.So, he fell to the side, pulled the bearskin pad to cover his body, and snored like thunder in an instant.
The next day, he woke up at the usual time. After all, he was physically strong and drunk all night, but he felt refreshed. He pushed away the bearskin mat and stood up. The thoughts of last night came back to his mind. He didn't know when he made the decision. Anyway, he had made up his mind to betray Zhaotian and return to Shun Jinghu, so he walked out of the tent. The weather was fine, and although the sun hadn't shown its face yet, the lower part of the clouds floating on Dongshan Mountain had been dyed golden red, and the light radiated into the sky. In the open space in front of the camp, the soldiers were divided into several groups to cook food, and many people gathered around the cauldron, talking and laughing happily.The aroma of miso filled the cold, crisp morning air. Kakizaki walked through it and came to the field covered with frost pillars.I was still thinking in my heart: "If I just lead the soldiers to say sorry, let me join you! This is not the same as begging for mercy. How can I be so worthless?! I want to show him a hand, Let him know that I'm no ordinary person!" He stepped on the frost pillar vigorously to walk around, and stopped to look, not far to his left was General Zhao Tian's camp.The general supervisor is the younger brother of Chang Lu, who came to supervise the war.In front of the camp, the soldiers also cook in piles. Kakizaki stared at it for a while, then suddenly smiled, returned to his camp, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up and get ready to fight! Put on the battle uniform before eating! Let's go in two quarters of an hour! Anyone who is too late will be killed!" The soldiers were very aware of Kakizaki's personality of killing as soon as he said it, so everyone hurriedly got up and prepared. The nearby camps were also panicked. Many people came to visit and some asked questions, but Kakizaki ignored them and kept scolding the buglers: "Blow it! Blow it!" and stared intently at his subordinates. Soon, General Akita came out in person.He is about fifty-five or six years old, tall and thin, with a good demeanor.His beard is already half white, he wears armor woven with colorful tassels, and a sleeveless brocade war robe with a blue background.He was a little impatient, neither wearing a black gauze cap nor a forehead scarf. When he reached ten meters away, he said unhappily, "General Kakizaki, what's going on?" Kakizaki ignored him and still urged the bugler: "Blow! Blow hard!" The general moved closer to six meters, and said, "General Kakizaki, why are you making such a fuss? If you want to send troops, where are you attacking? Answer me quickly!" "Bastards! Who told you to stop? Hurry up! Hurry up!" Kakizaki yelled at the bugler. The general's face flushed immediately, and he approached step by step: "I am the supervisor, I am asking you, answer quickly!" "Blow! Blow fast! Blow hard!" The general also seemed to think that Kakizaki's appearance was unusual, and he said, "General Kakizaki, I think there is something wrong with you!" while looking into Kakizaki's face. He tried to grab Kakizaki's arm, but before he could touch his hand, Kakizaki yelled, "Disrespectful thing!" The general prisoner was punched hard in the chest, and he staggered as if he was about to fall backwards, "Bold!" into the air.
Seeing Kakizaki's unexpected move, the three armies, especially General Akita's team, were all furious and wanted to attack Kakizaki, but Kakizaki had already put on the momentum to counterattack. Flying around in front of the camp, he shouted loudly: "Samurai go out like demons, even if I, Buddha and Bodhisattva stand in the way, I will not forgive you! This general is about to send troops, and the prisoner not only intends to stop him, but even touches the general's body with his hands. Therefore, Beheaded to sacrifice to the God of War! If you all want to attack this general, great! This general is also very happy to meet the opponent! After all, in the Echigo country, there is no one who can stop my Kakizaki Kei family face to face." What he said simply didn't take the three armies seriously. Although they were gnashing their teeth in anger, none of them dared to attack. Kakizaki divided his subordinates into two teams, and set off with one team defending and the other acting, while he himself stood in the rear.He was on the horse, commanding the troops, with a posture of pretending to be no one else, seeing the eyes of the three armies spitting fire, but there was nothing he could do. They couldn't understand Kakizaki's sudden move, maybe they couldn't be sure.Judging from Kakizaki's personality, he might be rebellious again, but they really didn't want to admit that a brave general like Kakizaki broke away from their camp so easily, so they didn't launch an attack. When the team reached the high ground about two kilometers away, Kakizaki held the gun in his left hand and the military flag tied on the chest ring with his right hand, shouting: "The whole team!" He waved the flag vigorously two or three times. The team quickly spread out to the left and right, forming a crane wing formation. The Kakizaki man was on the horse, and shouted again: "If you insist on chasing me, you will regard me as an enemy. In this case, I will sever ties with Sanjo and join Kasuga Mountain. It must be you who regard me as an enemy." Take it easy! Come on! What are you afraid of?" He waved the command flag again, so the drums and trumpets sounded together, the shouts shook the sky, and there was a tendency to turn around and fight back. All the three armies were frightened and hesitated.However, Kakizaki repeatedly issued provocative and mocking words arrogantly and domineeringly, intending to lure them to attack. His behavior made the three generals suspicious, especially the chief general Jin Jin Guoji.he thinks: "Although Kakizaki's betrayal is hateful, it's unusual for him to be so self-satisfied. He must have made a plan with Tochio. A negligence on our side may fall into a trap." Therefore, he warned the teams to stop preparing for the battle. For Kakizaki, this is naturally expected.He summoned his most trusted subordinates and sent a message to Shinbata Sobusuke in Tochio Castle: "You tell him, just say I said: "I came here to persuade you the night before, and I was very sincere, but I was rude, but after thinking about it, what my brother said was very true, so I had the intention of submitting, and now I am on the way to Guicheng. Because the three armies are in hot pursuit, we will fight here for the time being. I dare to ask my brother to report this matter to Mr. Jing Hu, urge Mr. Jing Hu to come out to help, and to see the ambition of my younger brother to serve. In addition, for the sake of Ming's ambition to submit The head of General Tian, please inspect it!' Do you remember?" "remembered." "Say it to me again!" The subordinates repeat it again. "Okay! Go!" The subordinates and three followers galloped towards Tochio.
About 30 minutes later, Jinghu learned about it from the agency of Saobu.He knew that Sobusuke was negotiating with Kakizaki last night, but he thought it would take at least two or three times for Sobusuke to reach an agreement. He was surprised that the matter was resolved so quickly. Jing Hu had never seen General Zhao Tian, so he summoned Sao Bujie and other people who had seen the general prison to check, and he was sure that the general prison was correct. "I want to go out of the city in person, and I will entrust Honjo and Xinbingwei to stay behind. I don't lead soldiers, and I just need to send back the troops from the department and my horse." Jing Hu clearly ordered to go on, and thirty minutes later, he was already outside the city. Although Sabujie had more than two hundred troops, there were only ten knights, and the rest were infantry. Jing Hu told Sao Bujie: "I'll go first, you will follow!" Sobusuke felt a little uneasy, although Kakizaki offered the head of General Akita, but he is capricious and may change his mind because of other things. "I don't think there is such a rush, it's better to be prepared and move forward steadily." Jing Hu said with a smile: "Although Kakizaki is an unparalleled fierce general, his soldiers are in a position of no one to rely on at the moment, and their moods are easily shaken. I want to rush there as soon as possible to stabilize the army. If the army's morale is not stable, Kakizaki itself is also in danger. Kakizaki has a heart. Guishun, I'll be fine, don't worry!" After speaking, he led thirty horses back and galloped forward at high speed.It's only a mile away, but it will arrive soon. As soon as Jing Hu walked around the mountainside, he immediately erected the military flag. Against the clear mountain scenery, the flag was dazzling to the galloping men and horses.The Kakizaki Army immediately regained momentum, while the Santiao Army was greatly shaken. Seeing the opportunity, Kakizaki summoned an envoy to send a message: "You tell Mr. Jinghu that he is very grateful for his quick arrival. At this moment, he will fight against the public! Please wait and watch!" After finishing speaking, he ordered the soldiers to sound the trumpet and shout to kill.The three armies are even more shaken. The Kakizaki man was in front of the formation, and with a wave of his spear, "Kill!" He rushed to the Santiao Army first.Although the Kakizaki army was only one thousand, but it attacked with raging waves, and the four thousand troops on the three fronts had already lost their fighting spirit and collapsed in an instant. "Chase!" Kakizaki followed closely and ravaged at will.The three armies were defeated. Although the general tried his best to stabilize the position, Kakizaki's pursuit was too hasty, which only made the chaos worse. Jinghu erected the military flag at the place where Kakizaki built the formation, and stood on his horse to watch the fight in front of him.All his warriors on horseback couldn't wait to join the battle, but Jing Hu refused. "This is the first battle of Kakizaki's surrender, let him perform to his heart's content, you don't need to intervene!" The warriors had to reluctantly stand still and watch the battle. Kakizaki's bravery is indeed unmatched, like a giant bird that snatches a flock of sheep from the sky. I saw him with a spear in his hand, and with every stab and thrust, heads fell to the ground one by one. Jing Hu was fascinated by it, but he still thought in his heart: "It's a rare and powerful general, but it's a pity that his intentions are not right." The battle progressed at about 30 minutes, and 200 people led by Sabusuke arrived. If he had arrived 10 minutes earlier and joined the battle, all three armies might have been wiped out. At this moment, Kakizaki Mingjin withdrew his troops, and he personally came to the rear, and the team retreated neatly. Jing Hu was fascinated: "It's amazing! I often hear that he boasted that he was the number one samurai in Echigo, and he was not exaggerating!" Kakizaki saw Jinghu with disheveled hair and blood all over his body.Sobusuke introduced him: "This is the Kakizaki Jing family. He repented of his mistakes and came to surrender. He is willing to take him in. I am very grateful!" Jing Hu immediately replied: "Don't blame the past. I'm glad you can understand the righteousness. Today's performance is really amazing. It really opened my eyes. I hope I will be as loyal and diligent in the future!" Kakizaki said with a smile: "I have long fallen in love with you for a long time, and I am very happy to join you!" His attitude and words were not respectful, as if he said that having me on your side was a great gain, Jing Hu's personal warrior felt embarrassed, and Jing Hu was also slightly unhappy. However, Kakizaki immediately said: "Wait for me to present the gift I saw for the first time!" He turned around and asked his subordinates to hold a plate. When Jing Hu saw it, his unhappiness disappeared immediately. There were twelve heads lined up on the plate. Kakizaki signed up one by one, all of whom were famous warriors from the Santiao Army. Jing Hu smiled slightly and said, "What a grand gift, I accept it." He thought to himself: "I have found a good helper!"
After the Sanjo Army withdrew from the Tochio Basin and retreated to the Sanjo, Jinghu returned to the city with his troops. After Kakizaki left Sanjo and joined Tochio, the combat power of Sanjo was greatly damaged, and Jinghu had no worries about it.At this moment, what he was worried about was Kasuga-san.He wanted Kakizaki to return to the city and block the offensive from Kasugayama, but before he could make a decision, Usami decided to come, bringing only five or six personal entourages. As soon as he met, he congratulated Jing Hu: "This time we have won a big victory. Both martial arts and martial arts are worthy of congratulations, and Kakizaki's return is even more worthy of great joy." Of course Jing Hu knew that he didn't come here to say these festive words, and there must be something important to discuss, but he wanted to talk about his current plans first. "I'm very concerned about Kasuga Mountain, and I want Kakizaki to return to the city so that I can seal it off." Usami immediately leaned over and whispered, "I'm here for this." "Will it work?" Jinghu understood Usami's thoughts very well, but was worried that Usami would have objections. Usami nodded vigorously, and said in a low voice: "This is disrespectful, but as long as Qing Jinggong is in office, the situation of the Kasugayama Nagao family will gradually decline, and at most there will only be two or three years of fate. Also, you and Qing Jing Although you are brothers, you will turn against each other one day, you don’t need to explain this situation, you must be aware that you want Kakizaki to return to Jucheng, isn’t it precisely for this reason?” Jing Hu was silent, his face gloomy. Usami also said: "From what I see, you'd better be mentally prepared. If it's inevitable, the sooner you can fight Haruki-kun, the better. If you wait until your family's luck is exhausted, then things won't end well." "You want me to rebel against you?" Jing Hu was surprised and suspicious, his face was flushed and his eyes were shining. "No!" Usami shook her head lightly, her voice lowered: "I won't come up with such a bad idea. If we want Kasugayama to make the first move, it must be arranged so that we will fight passively." Jinghu understood Usami's intentions now, and he asked with some frustration: "Then can't Kakizaki be sent back to Jujora?" "Exactly! Don't worry about that aspect for the time being, and I will remove Mishan's defenses. You just won three, and the news has been sent to Lord Qingjing. It must have made him restless! It's like water flowing downhill, let him rush Come here. There are many names, as long as you have the will to do it and the need to do it, how difficult is it for a person to find a name?" "..." "A son fights his father, brother fights his brother. Of course, it is not something to boast about in terms of human relations. But in this chaotic world of the Warring States, where fathers are not fathers, and brothers are not brothers, we have to consider the issue that one generation is for one generation and the family is for eternity. What's more, if you fight when you have to fight, the world's perception will not be too bad, I hope you make a decision!" The handsome face of Harunobu Takeda, who exiled his father, kept flashing before Jinghu's eyes.
Kakizaki sent Saobusuke away, returned to the place just now, warmed the wine and drank again.He first downed four or five cups vigorously, then sipped slowly, thinking about the words of Bujie while drinking. What he said about ungrateful beasts, traitors, and enemies of the court sounded quite harsh at the time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it seems to make sense.At the beginning, I also joined Santiao after fully considering the advantages and disadvantages, but now because of the advantages and disadvantages, my belief has to be shaken.

Kakizaki thought again: "Jinghu now accuses Zhaotian of being an ungrateful beast, a traitor, and an enemy of the imperial court. Although it is just a clamor, it will be useless when the three forces are still strong, but if Jinghu gains power, these accusations will probably have a lot of influence. Great lethality!"

The Kakizaki man was on the horse, and shouted again: "If you insist on chasing me, you will regard me as an enemy. In this case, I will sever ties with Sanjo and join Kasuga Mountain. It must be you who regard me as an enemy." Take it easy! Come on! What are you afraid of?" He waved the command flag again, so the drums and trumpets sounded together, the shouts shook the sky, and there was a tendency to turn around and fight back. All the three armies were frightened and hesitated.However, Kakizaki repeatedly issued provocative and mocking words arrogantly and domineeringly, intending to lure them to attack. His behavior made the three generals suspicious, especially the chief general Jin Jin Guoji.he thinks: "Although Kakizaki's betrayal is hateful, it's unusual for him to be so self-satisfied. He must have made a plan with Tochio. A negligence on our side may fall into a trap." Therefore, he warned the teams to stop preparing for the battle. For Kakizaki, this is naturally expected.He summoned his most trusted subordinates and sent a message to Shinbata Sobusuke in Tochio Castle: "You tell him, just say I said: "I came here to persuade you the night before, and I was very sincere, but I was rude, but after thinking about it, what my brother said was very true, so I had the intention of submitting, and now I am on the way to Guicheng. Because the three armies are in hot pursuit, we will fight here for the time being. I dare to ask my brother to report this matter to Mr. Jing Hu, urge Mr. Jing Hu to come out to help, and to see the ambition of my younger brother to serve. In addition, for the sake of Ming's ambition to submit The head of General Tian, please inspect it!' Do you remember?" "remembered." "Say it to me again!" The subordinates repeat it again. "Okay! Go!" The subordinates and three followers galloped towards Tochio.
About 30 minutes later, Jinghu learned about it from the agency of Saobu.He knew that Sobusuke was negotiating with Kakizaki last night, but he thought it would take at least two or three times for Sobusuke to reach an agreement. He was surprised that the matter was resolved so quickly. Jing Hu had never seen General Zhao Tian, so he summoned Sao Bujie and other people who had seen the general prison to check, and he was sure that the general prison was correct. "I want to go out of the city in person, and I will entrust Honjo and Xinbingwei to stay behind. I don't lead soldiers, and I just need to send back the troops from the department and my horse." Jing Hu clearly ordered to go on, and thirty minutes later, he was already outside the city. Although Sabujie had more than two hundred troops, there were only ten knights, and the rest were infantry. Jing Hu told Sao Bujie: "I'll go first, you will follow!" Sobusuke felt a little uneasy, although Kakizaki offered the head of General Akita, but he is capricious and may change his mind because of other things. "I don't think there is such a rush, it's better to be prepared and move forward steadily." Jing Hu said with a smile: "Although Kakizaki is an unparalleled fierce general, his soldiers are in a position of no one to rely on at the moment, and their moods are easily shaken. I want to rush there as soon as possible to stabilize the army. If the army's morale is not stable, Kakizaki itself is also in danger. Kakizaki has a heart. Guishun, I'll be fine, don't worry!" After speaking, he led thirty horses back and galloped forward at high speed.It's only a mile away, but it will arrive soon. As soon as Jing Hu walked around the mountainside, he immediately erected the military flag. Against the clear mountain scenery, the flag was dazzling to the galloping men and horses.The Kakizaki Army immediately regained momentum, while the Santiao Army was greatly shaken. Seeing the opportunity, Kakizaki summoned an envoy to send a message: "You tell Mr. Jinghu that he is very grateful for his quick arrival. At this moment, he will fight against the public! Please wait and watch!" After finishing speaking, he ordered the soldiers to sound the trumpet and shout to kill.The three armies are even more shaken. The Kakizaki man was in front of the formation, and with a wave of his spear, "Kill!" He rushed to the Santiao Army first.Although the Kakizaki army was only one thousand, but it attacked with raging waves, and the four thousand troops on the three fronts had already lost their fighting spirit and collapsed in an instant. "Chase!" Kakizaki followed closely and ravaged at will.The three armies were defeated. Although the general tried his best to stabilize the position, Kakizaki's pursuit was too hasty, which only made the chaos worse. Jinghu erected the military flag at the place where Kakizaki built the formation, and stood on his horse to watch the fight in front of him.All his warriors on horseback couldn't wait to join the battle, but Jing Hu refused. "This is the first battle of Kakizaki's surrender, let him perform to his heart's content, you don't need to intervene!" The warriors had to reluctantly stand still and watch the battle. Kakizaki's bravery is indeed unmatched, like a giant bird that snatches a flock of sheep from the sky. I saw him with a spear in his hand, and with every stab and thrust, heads fell to the ground one by one. Jing Hu was fascinated by it, but he still thought in his heart: "It's a rare and powerful general, but it's a pity that his intentions are not right." The battle progressed at about 30 minutes, and 200 people led by Sabusuke arrived. If he had arrived 10 minutes earlier and joined the battle, all three armies might have been wiped out. At this moment, Kakizaki Mingjin withdrew his troops, and he personally came to the rear, and the team retreated neatly. Jing Hu was fascinated: "It's amazing! I often hear that he boasted that he was the number one samurai in Echigo, and he was not exaggerating!" Kakizaki saw Jinghu with disheveled hair and blood all over his body.Sobusuke introduced him: "This is the Kakizaki Jing family. He repented of his mistakes and came to surrender. He is willing to take him in. I am very grateful!" Jing Hu immediately replied: "Don't blame the past. I'm glad you can understand the righteousness. Today's performance is really amazing. It really opened my eyes. I hope I will be as loyal and diligent in the future!" Kakizaki said with a smile: "I have long fallen in love with you for a long time, and I am very happy to join you!" His attitude and words were not respectful, as if he said that having me on your side was a great gain, Jing Hu's personal warrior felt embarrassed, and Jing Hu was also slightly unhappy. However, Kakizaki immediately said: "Wait for me to present the gift I saw for the first time!" He turned around and asked his subordinates to hold a plate. When Jing Hu saw it, his unhappiness disappeared immediately. There were twelve heads lined up on the plate. Kakizaki signed up one by one, all of whom were famous warriors from the Santiao Army. Jing Hu smiled slightly and said, "What a grand gift, I accept it." He thought to himself: "I have found a good helper!"
After the Sanjo Army withdrew from the Tochio Basin and retreated to the Sanjo, Jinghu returned to the city with his troops. After Kakizaki left Sanjo and joined Tochio, the combat power of Sanjo was greatly damaged, and Jinghu had no worries about it.At this moment, what he was worried about was Kasuga-san.He wanted Kakizaki to return to the city and block the offensive from Kasugayama, but before he could make a decision, Usami decided to come, bringing only five or six personal entourages. As soon as he met, he congratulated Jing Hu: "This time we have won a big victory. Both martial arts and martial arts are worthy of congratulations, and Kakizaki's return is even more worthy of great joy." Of course Jing Hu knew that he didn't come here to say these festive words, and there must be something important to discuss, but he wanted to talk about his current plans first. "I'm very concerned about Kasuga Mountain, and I want Kakizaki to return to the city so that I can seal it off." Usami immediately leaned over and whispered, "I'm here for this." "Will it work?" Jinghu understood Usami's thoughts very well, but was worried that Usami would have objections. Usami nodded vigorously, and said in a low voice: "This is disrespectful, but as long as Qing Jinggong is in office, the situation of the Kasugayama Nagao family will gradually decline, and at most there will only be two or three years of fate. Also, you and Qing Jing Although you are brothers, you will turn against each other one day, you don’t need to explain this situation, you must be aware that you want Kakizaki to return to Jucheng, isn’t it precisely for this reason?” Jing Hu was silent, his face gloomy. Usami also said: "From what I see, you'd better be mentally prepared. If it's inevitable, the sooner you can fight Haruki-kun, the better. If you wait until your family's luck is exhausted, then things won't end well." "You want me to rebel against you?" Jing Hu was surprised and suspicious, his face was flushed and his eyes were shining. "No!" Usami shook her head lightly, her voice lowered: "I won't come up with such a bad idea. If we want Kasugayama to make the first move, it must be arranged so that we will fight passively." Jinghu understood Usami's intentions now, and he asked with some frustration: "Then can't Kakizaki be sent back to Jujora?" "Exactly! Don't worry about that aspect for the time being, and I will remove Mishan's defenses. You just won three, and the news has been sent to Lord Qingjing. It must have made him restless! It's like water flowing downhill, let him rush Come here. There are many names, as long as you have the will to do it and the need to do it, how difficult is it for a person to find a name?" "..." "A son fights his father, brother fights his brother. Of course, it is not something to boast about in terms of human relations. But in this chaotic world of the Warring States, where fathers are not fathers, and brothers are not brothers, we have to consider the issue that one generation is for one generation and the family is for eternity. What's more, if you fight when you have to fight, the world's perception will not be too bad, I hope you make a decision!" The handsome face of Harunobu Takeda, who exiled his father, kept flashing before Jinghu's eyes.
