Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Hurricane Iga

Akechi Hinata Mori Mitsuhide hated Nobunaga's brutal character, and involved the world in a terrible hurricane.Ideals often drive reality to a tragic point of no return, and this time is no exception. From the moment they learned that Mitsuhide plotted against Nobunaga, no matter the daimyo, citizens or farmers, the scene of troubled times appeared in their minds again, and they took action. When Ieyasu took action from Sasazuka near Moriguchi, people in the area did not trust Mitsuhide, and felt that Mitsuhide was not as good as Nobunaga. Looters and rioters were already ready to move. The farmers first hid the grain and were busy sharpening their knives.The local tyrants and evil gentry who lived off the chaos of war, as well as some evil monks and soldiers, thought that the opportunity had come, so they wantonly made guns and cannons, waiting for buyers.From the looters who are called "falling into the hunt" to the peasant soldiers who stood up to defend themselves, as well as those rebels who were dissatisfied with the lord and rose up, whether good or evil, they all rose up with their own ideas, and the world suddenly became chaotic. Into a pot of porridge.

When Ieyasu and his party headed northeast from Moriguchi towards Tsuda, Kitahanoi County, there were gangs of robbers, large and small, already pulling down a large net on the edge of the Yodo River, looking around eagerly, waiting for their prey. "Hey, I heard that a group of people have gone to North Hanoi, chase after them!" "If it's this road, the destination must be the other side of the Muzu River. Let's go around from the front and make a surprise attack at the ferry." Such whispers can be heard everywhere, and all official roads, ferries, and mountain roads have become ambush sites for rogues who are familiar with the local terrain.

When Ieyasu and his party turned north from the area along the Kamayagawa River, three or four packs of wolves had quietly followed them.Fortunately, just as they were about to cross the Neya River, the bandits found better prey than Ieyasu and the others, so they left. "Another group of people is on their way, it seems that they are going to the near river." "Then, let's divide into two groups and chase after each other." "No, I see that the other group is dressed much richer, and there are more people and husbands, so they must be fat masters." "Okay, then follow this group."

After thinking about it later, that group of people should be Xueshan Meixue and his party.Probably, Meixue estimated that Ieyasu would avoid Mino, so she hired another guide to cross the wooden banner from Uji Bridge, enter Jiangzhou, then go to Mino, and return from Iwamura via Koshin. Under the arrangement of the tea house Shiro Jiro, Ieyasu and his party mixed with well-informed businessmen, and they formed a group of two, back and forth, echoing each other from afar.Suddenly, a messenger rushed over with a look of haste. "Please pause for a moment, there is a group of businessmen fighting in front of you." When the messenger who was pale with fright arrived, it was close to dawn. on the mountain road.

"The traveler was attacked by thieves?" Shen Yuan Xiaoping, who was at the front, couldn't help clicking his tongue. "This valley cannot stay. If you are attacked in such a place, you will be in a dilemma. Go check again and see how many people there are." These thieves, even if they rob people, they have to find a place where they can let go." This place is indeed dangerous.On the right is a high cliff, on the left is a dense bamboo forest.In the middle of the night, a drizzle began to fall in the overcast, black sky. "According to what you said, the sky is so dark, even if you get close to the enemy, you can't tell the enemy from us. It will be dawn in a while, and before that..."

"In case of any accident, you don't know the terrain, stop here, once you are attacked..." Before Xiaopingta finished speaking, Ieyasu had already said: "Don't talk, Xiaopingta. Our war has become a war with Mitsuhide. Once you act rashly, it is easy to be spotted by the enemy. Take a rest first." There were not a single horse left, only two pack horses dying of exhaustion.Even Ieyasu was walking silently, already unrecognizable. The line stopped.Including the husband employed by Chaya Shiro Jiro and the businessman, there were more than 50 people in total. The rice balls brought from Sakai Port had already been eaten, and hunger tormented everyone's stomach.After daybreak, many people must have worn out their straw sandals, leaving only a pair of bare feet.

"Is Matsumaru here? Yugui, Kogenta, are you not tired?" After stopping, Ieyasu sat down at a random place and asked about the situation of the guards. "Yes. Matsumaru is behind the Lord." Torii's son replied. "Yu Gui is also there." "Xiao Yuantai is also there." Although everyone replied without showing any weakness, they could clearly hear the feeling of hunger and fatigue. "The most difficult time in my Ieyasu's memory was during the battle of Mikahara. It was really hungry and cold, and Takeda's troops were extremely strong. After one died, another stood up. As soon as the name was announced, they were immediately beheaded. However, I did not compromise at all. I swung my long spear, stabbed left and right, and fought from morning until late at night. Compared with rushing back to the city in a daze, this little difficulty is nothing.” In the darkness, I don't know who burst out laughing.

"Who's laughing?" "Tadao Okubo." "I'm telling stories to the guards, what's so funny!" "Haha... I heard from my father that at that time, the lord had a bowel movement on the horse." "Bastard, that's not poop, it's miso soup. Haha... If a person struggles to such an extent that he forgets to poop, then he must be a great person." A word made everyone laugh. "Don't laugh, don't laugh. Maybe this time the difficulty is greater than last time. But no matter how difficult it is, we will never give in."

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the front of the road.The other party must not know that someone is resting here, so they bumped into each other. "Oh, there are a lot of people, don't take it lightly." "Light the torches, quick." This group of people was obviously the thugs who had sneaked up ahead just now.When they saw the bright torch lit by the other party, the people here had already pressed their hands on the handle of the knife. "My lord, my lord, go to the back quickly. The injury is terrible." There was a commotion around, and Watanabe Hanzo, who was in charge of breaking the back, ran like crazy from the narrow road. "Who the hell are they? Why are you fighting against us? If you don't retreat, you will be killed!"

"Wait a minute, Hanzo." Ieyasu stopped him, "Chaya is the best at dealing with these people. Chaya, go and negotiate." At this time, Hasegawa Hideichi had already walked to the front of the team, negotiating with the thugs. "Hey, we are the subordinates of Taroo Shiroemon Kotoshi, the lord of Koga County. You came out halfway and robbed the prey we chased here. What do you think we should do?" "Come out halfway? You're making unreasonable words. We've been following them from Hanoi. If you are unwilling to be robbed of your prey, why don't you go ahead and lay an ambush?"

"That's what you said..." Xiuyi first avoided the opponent's sharp edge, "It sounds reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense." "Where is it unreasonable?" "If burning, killing, and looting are the nature of warriors, then we wait here for you to finish looting, and then rob you, there is nothing inappropriate, right?" "You can't say that. Our brothers have shed so much blood and suffered so many injuries. How can they be easily given to you?" "If you say that, things won't be easy to handle. This is already my territory in Doruowei City. Even so, it would be too ruthless to search out all the things you have worked so hard to get. In this way, The gold, clothes, goods, horses, etc. are all given to you, leave the knife behind, and go back in another way. We should pretend we didn’t see you, otherwise, the brothers of Duo Luowei who came here on the wind and don’t care will forgive you." "Just hand over the knife, right? Wait a minute, let's talk it over." Sometimes the relationship between people cannot be measured by common sense, but will be dominated by a certain atmosphere.If the opponent knows that he is a traveler, he will definitely show his sharp teeth and risk his life to attack.However, when they become friends with a common goal, a wonderful sense of loyalty will be born, and the atmosphere will change. "Okay, then hand over the knives to us and go another way. However, knives are not our purpose, just hand over four or five." Two or three people who looked like leaders bumped into each other, and after a while, they threw the snatched knife on the wet mountain road and retreated. Jiakang listened to Xiuyi's negotiation with sincerity, and laughed out loud after they left. "Haha...strategy is really useful. I didn't reason with them, but I became their accomplice...Ah, it's the ultimate art of war." As he spoke, Ieyasu glanced at the knife that Hase Guzhou picked up with a wry smile. , urgently ordered: "Wan Qiandai, bring fire." I saw the diamond-shaped gold pattern of the Takeda family engraved on the handle of one of the knives.Could it be something from Anayama Meixue? Naomasa Iwanchiyo, the guard leader, brought a burning log from the fire to shine it on, and Ieyasu suddenly let out a low moan.That's right, it was Meiyuki Anayama's sword! "Manchiyo, bring the torch closer." Ieyasu pulled out the knife at once, and under the reflection of the charcoal fire, there were spots of blood like plum blossoms scattered on the body of the Xiangzhou knife.Fighting each other, taking away the knife... What does this mean? When Kai Genji died, the only lucky person who survived was Anayama Rendou Meiyuki.Unexpectedly, he also followed Katsurai, and was killed by bandits in the wilderness. "Put out the torch." Ieyasu returned the knife to its sheath, chanting Mei Xue's name.The fate of people is really unpredictable.Nobunaga, who crusaded Takeda Katsuyori and would feel heartbroken watching the Takeda Clan collapse, went, and the only surviving Takeda Clan, Anayama Meiyuki, also went.Who will lose his life next time, Guangxiu or himself? The sky finally turned white.From the shadowy cliffs to the right came the chirping of birds. "Okay, let's commemorate this sword as the remains of Umeyuki Anayama's humanity. Manchiyo, you take it." Ieyasu handed the sword to Naomasa Ii, "Go, the unseen hardships are still there Waiting ahead." The group headed towards Tokyu again. The surroundings gradually brightened, and the clouds in the sky were dyed a faint color.The light rain finally stopped, and the field of vision became wider.Almost all of our straw sandals are left with shoestrings.They have crossed Shancheng and Hanoi. "Going forward, we will reach Tenno. After Todara and Kusauchi, the Kizugawa River is opposite. After crossing the Kizugawa River, I hope that Wu Fushi Kameya Eiren from the capital will be active there and get us something to eat." Shiro Chaya From time to time Jiro would come up to Ieyasu and talk to him. Each time, Ieyasu nodded with a smile. "I don't think you should talk about eating, I can hear my stomach growling." Everyone was tired of eating food a few days ago, so everyone's spirit was much weaker than usual on the battlefield.After walking for less than half an hour, I saw Kizugawa.It was already bright, and strands of bright sunlight leaked through the cracks in the clouds. At this time, a stronger drowsiness hit.However, with the exception of two or three young guards, the rest of them all have steel bones that have been tempered thousands of times. "Hey, there are traces of fighting here, and the grass has been trampled." Before everyone came to Kizugawa, they drank enough water and washed their faces hastily.Under the careful arrangement of Chaya and Hasegawa Shuichi, everyone crossed Kizugawa safely. I came to Tianyuan from Xiangkou, looking for something to eat in this area... Just thinking about it, there was an innumerable banner on the opposite side, which was an uprising peasant army. As soon as he entered Tahara, Chaya Shiro Jiro disappeared from the team. He probably went to contact Eiren Kameya, who was one step ahead, to find a place for Ieyasu to rest and get food. "Persist a little longer, and it will be fine if you enter Tianyuan. You must hold on." "What are you talking about, isn't it only two days? I heard that if a person wears his belt, he can fight for three days and three nights without eating or drinking." Although many people were chirping in private, it was obvious that everyone's faces had lost a lot of weight.Kanbara Kohei walked behind Ieyasu in a daze, and sometimes he was startled suddenly before realizing that he was daydreaming in broad daylight.Ieyasu, who walked silently in front of him, looked like a fragrant peony cake dusted with salt powder. He grabbed it, tore it up, and stuffed it into his mouth, but it still couldn't fill his stomach.How can I eat so much... Kamihara Koheita was daydreaming while walking, Chaya Shiro Jiro ran back in a panic, his face changed drastically. "It's not a big deal, my lord." Xiao Pingtai opened his eyes all at once. "A group of rebels came from Seta and Inazu. After burning and looting Tianyuan, they are retreating to our side." People suddenly turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stopped.Beads of sweat were crystal clear on Ieyasu's huge head. "If you don't turn around quickly, you will collide with them. Look, the banners are flying..." For a while, no one spoke, and everyone fell silent.The deep sound of the horn came over from the other side of the mountain, shaking everyone. "If it's the rebel army... if they use some gold..." Ieyasu said. "It's hard to work." Chaya shook his flushed face vigorously, "They are all crazy guys, and they won't even leave you their underwear. These people are different from robbers, and they are difficult to deal with. .” Xiaopingtai licked his chapped lips, waiting for Ieyasu's instructions.If you change your route, in such a mountain, you will either return to the original route, or enter the valleys with no way to go to hide on both sides.Moreover, as Chaya said, rebels and thieves are completely different.The thieves have the real interests of the thieves, but the uprising mob doesn't know how to advance or retreat.Thieves have become professional, and they can always feel their own dangers; rebels burst out the resentment and anger that have been accumulated for a long time in their hearts, and are dominated by the ever-expanding desire for violence, so they will not calmly calculate at all. "My lord!" Someone shouted from behind, "If you are scared off by the uprising mob, then even if you survive, the warrior will lose all face." "Just fight!" "Is there no other way?" Everyone was chattering, and the other party had already appeared in the valley of Tangwu Valley.It seems that they have successfully robbed and are in high spirits.Countless flags and bamboo guns among the green leaves came into view.The team was mighty, and it seemed that there were no more than three or five hundred people.The trickle of dissatisfaction of the poor people finally converges into a torrent, rolling in. Ieyasu set up a pergola, still waiting and watching, and didn't say that he would change the road. "My lord, please make a quick decision." The tea house urged, "With such a big battle, maybe all of Kameya Eiken's subordinates have been killed. Look, there is still a human head on the bamboo spear in the front." "There are about 800 people." Ieyasu said to himself, and waved to Honda Tadakatsu, "Heihachi, you can ask them to see what they want. Forget it, what wishes do they have, let me say hello Now, you just need to call the leader here. If you ask, it might anger the other party.” There was some dissatisfaction in Zhongsheng's eyes, but he stood up as if he suddenly remembered something.The other party seemed to have noticed this too, and saw four or five people rushing over holding their machetes high. "My lord, I think we have to avoid it anyway..." Chaya showed uneasiness on his face, "It's unreasonable to talk to these lunatics." "Tea house!" "exist." "Ieyasu is the one who inherits the great ambition of the Youfu. The wish of the Youfu is to eliminate the private fighting among the warriors and save the common people from suffering." Chaya Shiro Jiro seemed puzzled, lowered his head in thought, and stopped talking.Ieyasu was still looking around with the awning in his hands, and the sun shone hotly on his chubby neck.The sound of the bamboo horn was getting closer and closer, and it was also mixed with a few out-of-time oriole cries from time to time.Tadakatsu Honda, who was coming up from this side, and the five men rushing down with machetes on the opposite side met on the winding gray-white mountain road. The opponent raised his machete high above his head to intimidate Zhongsheng. Zhongsheng also showed his usual samurai spirit and confronted them.Not long after, one of the opponents ran back and was submerged in the sea of ​​flags.So, the four of them came back with Zhongsheng in their arms. "Listen, everyone, and no one is allowed to interrupt." Ieyasu said, and ordered the moved seat to be placed in the middle of the road, and sat down.Everyone scattered on both sides of the road in unison, squatting on the ground, forming a posture to protect the family. Kamihara Koheita stood alone in front of Ieyasu, staring at the four men approaching.I saw four people wearing waist-length farm clothes, with animal skins tied around their waists, and holding big knives, eager to try.These guys are full... Xiaoping couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.They stood there seemingly bravely, with the booty hanging from their waists, exposing their greed.The man in the front has a woman's thin belt hanging on the left waist, a clay pot and a gong on the right, and Buddhist beads and a tea spoon hanging around his neck.The other man had a cotton bag tied around his waist. It was not known whether it was filled with a bowl or a wine glass, and it rattled continuously.You must do whatever you want, and grab what you see. It seems that what you usually dream of is finally available. "You, traveling samurai, take off your clothes!" The man in the front shouted at Ieyasu with bloodshot eyes.Weak and kind people, once formed into a group, will become incredible thugs.The man was half-dried with blood splattered from his cheeks to his shoulders, and the handle of the machete was black. "Why didn't you answer, didn't you see the banner behind you? If you dare to delay, the brothers behind me will immediately come up." "Yes. If you dare to resist, I will kill you all." The man behind the man also shook his head and shouted.It seems that these people didn't even think about what they did from Seta, Jiangzhou to this area, and they were completely crazy. Ieyasu paused intentionally, and said in a low voice, "Do you hate the Oda clan, or your lord? What kind of resentment are they? Let's hear it." "What, what are you talking about? I don't think you're fit to be a warrior. You can't even hear a word." "I'm asking, who tortured you. You must have been tortured until you couldn't bear it, so you rose up." "Of course, what do you need to say?" "So, who is the opponent, and he has been cleaned up beautifully?" "Of course we killed them. We have cut off more than a hundred heads, and you can't even think about surviving today!" "Don't worry," Ieyasu raised his hand and said to his troubled opponent, "don't be so aggressive, just say it calmly. What I meant just now is that I listened to you and wanted to praise you." "What, praise us..." In one sentence, a shot of tranquilizer was given to their restless hearts.They trembled, screamed, burned, killed, and looted. In the final analysis, they all came from the inferiority complex of being oppressed and enslaved.Ieyasu's stern eyes seemed to have seen through them, so he wanted to start from their hearts, test out their desires, and guide them to reason. "Yes. I am Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Defender of Jun, Yuan, and Three Kingdoms. As a military commander, it is my bounden duty to save the Li people from the riots..." "That's why you praised us...you can't be lying, right? I think you are just a villain who can play tricks." "Wait," Ieyasu stopped him again, "Because it is the general's responsibility to save the people, I want to ask you again. Is the reason for your grievances due to your annual tax? How much annual tax do they charge you?" "Seven cents. How can three cents be enough to eat? No, even the three cents will be confiscated once a war breaks out. That's why we started first..." "Of course you can raise the banner and open the lord's granary. But, you shouldn't also attack the peasants in other villages who are exploited like you?" "Other villages..." This became the second dose of sedative. Just as they exchanged self-blaming glances, Ieyasu continued to say: "You must protect your partner, right? Although Lord Oda has passed away, the world cannot just go on like this. .In addition to my 100,000 troops, the more than 100,000 troops of Hashiba Chikuzen, who are rushing to China, will immediately withdraw to Kinki. The chaos is only for a while. You have protected your companions instead of generals, so I want to reward you. Chuji, bring the gold..." When Zhongji brought the gold bag, the four of them immediately became very surprised, they seemed to be kind-hearted farming people.One person hastily tugged on the sleeve of the person in front, and the other two also came up and whispered.Reluctant compliance, or wild resistance?You have to choose one of the two, and the confusion is clearly visible on the faces of the four people. "Are you the leaders of this uprising? What's your name?" Ieyasu took out forty taels of gold and placed them in front of them, "Once the world is settled, you should come out and sign up immediately, and you will surely be able to serve the country. Take the gold and my promise first, and you choose about thirty people from them. Just show us the way. Hasegawa, take care of your pen and ink!" Hasegawa hurriedly took out the paper tube. "The place we are going to is the house of Mitsuhiro Yamaguchi Fujizaemon in Ujitawara ahead. Then, let's start with you." Ieyasu urged the man whose face was splattered with blood with confidence. Kamihara Koheita's mood has never been so strange.This kind of negotiation will not succeed once in a thousand times, can it work?He was ready to be a guard, but, being urged by Ieyasu, the other party even reported his name: "I... from Dashi Village... Sun Silang." The first one started, and the rest followed suit. "I am Sekibei of Sakuradani." "I'm Yaroku from Shikatobi Village. This is Rokuzaemon from Takami." Their expressions were no longer tense, and they reported their names one by one. Hasegawa Hideo remembered it with a look of surprise, while Ieyasu continued to dictate with his eyes half closed: "The above four people have made great contributions in leading the way in the mountains of Ujitawara. I would like to write this book as proof in the future..." Then take it over and sign it " Ieyasu" was handed over to the man with blood on his face. When Ieyasu delivered the letter to the man, Xiaopingtai had an illusion. He seemed to see the seven-colored light emitting from behind Ieyasu.This is absolutely extraordinary... He felt that the lord was already the incarnation of a god and Buddha, and he never regarded the villains as a problem from the very beginning. As soon as the four of them got the letter and gold, they quickly turned back, immediately let the uprising people make way, and then followed the instructions, and selected more than 30 strong young men to lead the way for Ieyasu and his party. This incident not only amazed Ieyasu's retainers, but also made Hasegawa Shuichi and Chaya Shiro Jiro dumbfounded.As long as they reach Mitsuhiro Fujizaemon at Yamaguchi in Tahara, Shuichi and Shirojiro will be at ease the rest of the way.Of course, the sighs of the two of them are very different from those of Kodaira Kanbara. "This is really a great compassion from the bottom of my heart." Shiro Jiro sighed, while Hasegawa admired him very much: "The wit and strategy are by no means inferior to the late Lord Youfu." After escaping danger, he finally stumbled to the mansion of Yamaguchi Fujizaemon Mitsuhiro in Ujitawara.This person is the fifth son of Taroo Shiroemon Mitsutoshi, the lord of Taroo, Iga County, Omi Country, and is a close friend of Hasegawa Hideichi.When they arrived, Guangjun happened to be there, so He Guangguang invited Ieyasu and his party to the tea garden connected to the yard, and brought a big bowl of rice.This is not the white rice that I have eaten in Beijing and Sakai Port, but red rice steamed with coarse rice mixed with adzuki beans.As soon as he smelled the tangy aroma of the rice, Ieyasu immediately grabbed it with his hands and started eating. "Everyone grab and eat, too, I don't care about so much dignity on the way. Let's go immediately after eating!" The irrational peasant uprising army was persuaded by Ieyasu on the road, and the news had already reached the ears of Guangjun and his son.It is also rumored that Ieyasu is worthy of being the guardian of the Three Kingdoms and the incarnation of gods and Buddhas, so all the retainers quietly came to peek.But the father and son were taken aback. In the tea garden surrounded by green trees, with the sun shining on the open space, a man covered in dirt was greedily eating red rice. Looking at his posture, he could not see the incarnation of a god or Buddha, just an ugly beast. "I wanted you to rest here with some refreshments. I heard that you are leaving immediately?" "Oh, no need." Ieyasu said while munching on the rice, "At the very moment, you have to be very prepared. Your reception is better than any delicacies from mountains and seas. If there is any rice left, I want to give it to everyone. Divide, let everyone take a little bit." The father and son looked at the big basin knowingly, it was almost empty. "Oh, I'll cook you some more right away." "Then there's no need." After eating, Ieyasu stood up immediately, "The road around Iga is dangerous, so we have to hurry up." Speaking of which, the so-called Koga and Iga samurai here seem to have deep resentment towards Nobunaga.When Nobunaga conquered Iga, he searched out all those who fled to other countries, and punished them severely without mercy. If Mitsuhide's hand reaches here... that's what Ieyasu is most worried about. "The Iga samurai is not like a peasant uprising, we must act quickly." Ieyasu stood up, immediately took off the Kuniji short knife he was carrying with him, and handed it to Guangjun, "Anyway, after this incident subsides, come to Uji to taste tea. Thank you!" Ieyasu and his party stayed in Tahara for less than half an hour. During this period, Mitsutoshi's son Kuemon Kota thought they would stay here for one night, so he and Hasegawa Hideichi ran around to recruit accompanying samurai.However, as long as they bought some straw sandals, they set out on the road in the afterglow of the setting sun.In fact, this departure skillfully avoided a difficulty set for them. In this sense, Ieyasu can be said to have animal-like sensitivity.A group of people left Tianyuan and headed east, and were about to cross Jiufeng Mountain and head towards Xiaoshan, when suddenly, several people came out of the woods in front of them, knelt down and saluted in front of Ieyasu.One person said: "If you go straight down this road, something big will happen. Please take a small road to Shigaraki, and then go to Maruzhura in Iga. I will lead the way for you." The sun has set.Next to the well-spoken samurai, followed by the bloody-faced, glistening-eyed farmer who claimed to be Son Shiro of Oishi Village, Ieyasu had noticed him long ago, stared at him keenly, but said nothing.Ishikawa Hoki and Honda Tadakatsu stood in front of them, blocking the way. "Aren't you the one who rebelled just now? Who is this warrior?" "I am Tsusue Sannojo from Iga." "Zhezhi Sanzhicheng... So, there are uprising soldiers blocking the way ahead, what do you want to say?" Suddenly asked by Zhongsheng, the farmer Sun Shiro interrupted: "No, the Iga and Koga people have already been divided into two groups." "Two batches?" "Yes, I ran to Zhezhi's army and General Jiajiazhao to persuade them to submit to Lord Tokugawa. However, the other half said that it is the best policy to follow the wise, and they have already gone to the front and are lying in ambush in the woods, waiting for an ambush General Tokugawa." "Ambush us?" "Zhezhi Sanzhicheng has something to report." "Oh, tell me." "The wild samurai here all have personal grudges against the Oda family. Once Nobunaga died, everyone's personal grudges disappeared, but these people claimed that they no longer supported me, and wanted to support the newly risen Mitsuhide Akechi. I persuaded them to say When Lord Tokugawa attacked Enshu, he used to take good care of me on the banks of Himano Castle. He was a general who was kind and understanding, but he couldn't convince them. As a result, the atmosphere became tense and everyone split into two groups. Approval, we must fight to the death." "Oh." "Therefore, I, my son Ichisuke and Jinhachiro headed, Kakazu Yutoku, Hattori Genbei, Tomita Yabei, Yamaguchi Jinsuke, Yamanaka Kakubei, Hanji Hansuke, Namura Shogun, About 200 people with lofty ideals including Tokuda Kazukaku decided to support Lord Tokugawa and part ways with them. If you go on like this, even if there is a war, it will not be beneficial. Therefore, in order to let you divert from here, I let Sun Silang, a farmer from Dashi Village, led the way and summoned heroes from all walks of life to meet you." Saying that, Sanzhicheng took out a roll of rosters from his arms, and handed it to Ishikawa Boki respectfully, and Boki passed it on to Ieyasu. "Okay, change the way!" Ieyasu ordered after reading it.Everyone followed the farmer and Tsushue Sanzhicheng and turned to the valley on the left. After walking about ten towns, as Sannojo said, more than 200 Iga samurai, taking advantage of their familiarity with the local terrain, guarded Ieyasu and his party in four directions: front, back, left, and right.Seeing this, Ieyasu breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.He sighed, sighed, and felt relieved at the same time. In a country, there is also an invisible pillar... Once that pillar collapses, the world will be in chaos in an instant.As chaos grows, there is an unwitting desire to find the next pillar. There is still a mountain road under our feet, sometimes interrupted and sometimes continued.As Ieyasu walked, he differentiated the paths traveled by humans and animals.Suddenly, he wanted to call the farmer with blood on his face to speak. Nobunaga died unexpectedly, which made him encounter the second crisis since the three-party war.During the original battle between the three parties, he fought desperately to find a way to survive, but this time, just when he was completely hopeless and helpless, he unexpectedly discovered another way to survive. "Wan Qiandai, what's the name of that farmer with blood on his face?" "It's called...it seems to be Sun Silang from Dashi Village." "Call him over here." "As ordered." When Manchiyo called the man over, the road under his feet had already started to darken. "Your name is Sun Silang, let's talk while walking." "Yes... there is still about sixteen miles to Shigaraki." "I didn't ask you the way. I didn't order you, why did you join Iga?" "Yes...it's the villain's fault." "No, I'm not scolding you. I just want to ask you why you want to go there?" "This... I want to help adults." "So you think I'm weak?" "No, no, this... this..." "Since you say you want to help, you should feel weak." "No!" Sun Silang felt that he was clumsy and tongue-tied, and anxiously said, "My lord is kind to me. Yes, it's because my lord is kind to me." "It's me who treats you well..." "Yes. If it is not good for the villain, then I must have fought with the adults. If there is a fight, maybe we have already won... I still think so." "I thought so in my heart, but I didn't fight... Is it because I was afraid that there would be no good results?" Ieyasu asked deliberately jokingly. When Sun Silang heard this, he was startled and nodded. "Your Excellency is right. But at that time, if you killed Your Excellency, the battle was won, but it was also lost." "Oh? Why do you say that even though you win, you lose?" "If good people are killed, the world will be taken away by bad people, and farmers will have to live their lives in tears.
