Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen Yuankang First Battle

A thick morning mist hangs over the Aguju Valley.The rain had finally stopped, the pine and zelkova trees were soaked, and the sun had not yet come out. Hisamatsu Sado Mori Toshikatsu's wife, Yu Da, walked down the steps of the Hisamatsu family's family temple, Tounin, while counting with her fingers.It has been sixteen years since she left Takechiyo in Okazaki Castle and severed her marriage with Matsudaira.Married to Matsudaira when she was fourteen, and left Okazaki Castle when she was seventeen.Although it was only three years in Matsudaira, in retrospect it was like half a lifetime.

"I'm going to be thirty-three soon..." Thirty-three is considered a bad luck year for women.What worries her the most is the son who is not around, if everything is fine with him.When he heard that the 18-year-old Yuan Yasu had become a majestic general and the father of two children, Agui and Takechiyo, Yu almost shed tears in his freshman year.Yuan Kang's children are his grandchildren.As a grandmother, can I wait until the day I meet?With this feeling in mind, Yu Da gradually developed the habit of copying scriptures and praying in his spare time. Recently, news about Yuan Kang's expedition reached her.Yu Da suddenly became very nervous.One is Yuan Kang, who is on his first expedition, and the other is the battle-tested general Nobunaga. In any case, she feels that Yuan Kang's victory is slim.Yu Da encouraged her husband to send a secret envoy to Mizuno Shinmoto, the lord of Kariya Castle, to discuss whether there is a way to rescue him.

There is Imagawa Yoshimoto's close surveillance behind Yuan Yasushi.If Nobunaga also ordered Hisamatsu Sado to attack Dataka Castle, then this battle will become a battle between husband and son... In order to avoid the worst situation, Yu Da used blood to copy the Guanyin Sutra.Now she feels that her prayers have paid off.Nobunaga did not order her husband Sado Mamoru to attack Odaka Castle.Three days ago, on the fifteenth day of the fifth month, she heard that Yuan Kang had set off from Okazaki with a strange team.Yu Da silently calculated that today is eighteen.Perhaps in a certain corner of the unknown, the outcome has already been decided.Although she had asked someone to tell Yuan Kang that even if she won, she would never come to Aguju City to meet her, but nine times out of ten, the outcome would be defeat.

Going down the steps, Yuda walked towards Takeuchi Kyuroku's mansion opposite the city gate.Jiu Liu is more concerned about the progress and outcome of this war than Yu Da.Perhaps there will be some news from him. Many bamboos were planted in Jiuliu's house, and clear springs were drawn from the mountain, making it look like a tea house rather than a samurai's residence. "Is anyone there?" Seeing many horseshoe prints around her, Yu Da suddenly became nervous. She controlled her emotions and called. "Here we come." Jiu Liu opened the fir door in response, "So it's Madam... I'm waiting for you, you should come." Jiu Liu has become like a retainer, respectfully and respectfully welcomes the general to enter, "Xiong Village Here comes Hataro, and two distinguished guests."

"Xiong Ruogong?" Sui Jiuliu came to the living room and was surprised when he saw several guests.The arrival of Hataro Takeuchi was within her expectations.But beside Hataro, there were still two people sitting, one was Maeda Mataemon Toshika, and the other was a cute girl like a doll. "This is probably Maeda Inuchiyo." Yu Da asked after sitting down beside Hataro. "I have held the Genfu ceremony, and now I am called Mataemon Toshika." Toshika replied respectfully with his head bowed. "So, is this your sister?" "Ah, no." Li Jia shook his head, "It's my wife."

Yu Da couldn't help opening his eyes wide, but he didn't smile. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Hisamatsu Sado Mamoru's wife." "I'm Asong, the wife of Maeda Matazuo." The woman replied neither humble nor overbearing. "The three of us were talking about this battle just now, and Matsudaira Jiro Saburo Motoyasu really has extraordinary skills." Hearing Li Jia's words, Yu Da couldn't help sticking out his upper body.She managed to control the excitement in her heart, "So, the battle is over?" Toshika nodded, "In this battle, the clever master was defeated. Jiro Saburo Motoyasu barely lost a single soldier, and successfully transported the food and grass into Dataka Castle."

"So, where is Yuan Kang?" Yu Da felt relieved a little, and looked at Hataro.I saw Hataro quietly shaking his fan, keeping his expression on his face, and Kuroku nodded with a smile on his face. "My lord in Kiyosu was defeated... so what kind of tactics did the Okazaki army use?" Jiuliu took over the conversation: "If the Chuan family wants to transport food and grass into Dataka Castle, we will immediately surround and capture the two fortresses of Jiujin and Marune, but it is said that the Matsudaira Army suddenly captured Terabe Castle." "Tebe Castle?"

"Tebe Castle asked Jiujin and Marune for help. This is a matter of course. They immediately sent reinforcements to Terabu, but they saw thick smoke billowing everywhere, and the enemy was nowhere to be seen. So people thought that Yuan Yasushi's feigned attack on Templebe was in fact Take Dataka, and immediately rushed to Dataka to find Yuankang's main force. When he went to Dataka Castle, Yuankang had already brought the grain and grass team disguised as the main force into the city. Sakuma University, Oda Genban and other battle-tested generals also They all gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.”

"What a surprise!" Yu Da's eyes were filled with tears. In order to enter Dagao Castle, they pretended to attack Sibu, lured the Oda Army to Sibe, and the Swingers took the opportunity to enter Dagao Castle. Yu Da seemed to have seen eighteen-year-old Yuan Kangli commanding the battle in front of the battle.No, the Yuan Yasu in her fantasy is actually not Yuan Yasushi, but the heroic appearance of her former husband Hirota Matsudaira... "Oh, Sakuma and Oda Genban also..." She was embarrassed to say that they were defeated by her son Instead, he sighed thoughtfully.

Hataro suddenly said: "Nobunaga seems to think that Moto Yasushi will attack Jiujin first, and when Marune's army goes to support Jiujin, he will take the opportunity to enter Otaka Castle. In short, this battle is very interesting to me." "Interesting?" Li Jia asked in surprise.Hataro said with a smile on his face: "The strength of Matsudaira Jiro Saburo Motoyasu has been seen by Imagawa Yoshimoto and Oda Nobunaga. He successfully passed the military commander's initial test. Interestingly, the enemy and allies recognized Motoyasu's strength at the same time. "At the end of the day, he's a calm bystander.

"Whoever can form an ally with Matsudaira Motoyasu will surely become the overlord of the world... This battle is of great significance to Matsudaira Motoyasu. Interesting, interesting." Hataro's indifferent attitude towards the Oda clan made Toshiie very unhappy, "Do you think it will be so easy to send the Matsudaira army who entered Otaka Castle back to Okazaki Castle? Don't you think that a wild samurai has been ambushed on the way?" Hataro shook his head lightly, "No." "why?" "Since it is an interesting seedling, it is best not to pick it. Before you see the flower, it would be too hasty and foolish to judge it as a poisonous weed." Li Jia tilted his head in thought.Hataro seems to believe that Imagawa and Oda are bound to go to war when Imagawa Yoshimoto enters Beijing.That battle will ultimately determine the fate of the two incompatible families, and the new situation will produce new confrontations.For that day, it is better to let Yuan Kang go.Now that he understood this truth, Li Jia didn't continue to ask.Now he just wants to try to convince Yu Da that Nobunaga has no malice towards Yuan Kang. The Li family seemed to have forgotten that they were expelled, "As Madam knows, our lord is a broad-minded person, maybe he is toasting Yuan Kang in Qingzhou City at this time: 'Takechiyo won! That's me Brothers.'" "Is that so..." "No, because there were no casualties in the Okazaki people, and there were no casualties in the Oda Army, so my lord must feel very relaxed. My lord has a special affection for Motoyasu." From behind the shaking fan, Portaro carefully observed the changes in Yu Da's expression. Yu Da's mood is very complicated.Yoshimoto Imagawa of Shunfu seems to think that he will never lose in the decisive battle with the Oda clan.But for the Oda clan, the next battle will be the key to determining whether they can continue to gain a foothold in the world. Because of this, both sides will undoubtedly exhaust their efforts.Nobunaga specially invited Hataro Takeuchi to Qingzhou, probably because he wanted to use him to control the forces of wild warriors, farmers, and assassins in the territory, so as to prevent them from disturbing the rear when Imagawa came to attack.And Maeda Matazaemon Toshiie was expelled by his master, wandering here, is there also some ulterior motive?Therefore, she was very cautious in every word she said.If Nobunaga obviously wanted Yuan Kang, it would be a different matter; but if Nobunaga thought that Yu Da and Yuan Kang were still in intermittent contact, disaster might be imminent. "I heard Mrs. Hisamatsu is from the Mizuno family. The family temple of the Mizuno family is Qiankun-in Temple, a famous temple in Okawa. Could you take our husband and wife there while visiting the grave?" When Toshika said this, Portaro covered his face with a fan, and he already knew very well what Toshika wanted to express. "To the Qiankun Temple in Ogawa?" "Yes. We have already paid homage to Daimido Temple, the tomb of Lord Raitomo, and worshiped at the Dahama Shomyoji Temple, the temple where Lord Zongzong used to roam. We want to get some great virtues and great sages in our wandering life. I heard that The abbot of Jiechuan Qiankun Temple is also a well-known sage, even the people of Kyoto admire him. I hope Madam can say a few words and let us go to pay homage." Yu Da did not answer immediately.Her more mature eyes suddenly turned from Toshika to Jiuliu, "Will Oda-sama allow it?" "He will probably let his wife decide." Yu Da nodded quietly.Seeing that she was still hesitating, eleven-year-old Asong suddenly asked: "I also want to see the Great Bodhi Temple, please take me with you. Thank you!" Their purpose was probably not to see the Bodhi Temple, but undoubtedly to meet Yuan Kang who had returned from Dagaocheng.Yu Da smiled, she knew very well the purpose of their meeting with Yuan Kang. She had eagerly looked forward to this day.Yu Da was satisfied with the son who made her worry about him, who made her willing to secretly send clothes and meals to Retian, even if he just took a look at him.However, it is too early, and it is far from the time to enjoy family happiness.Yuan Kang is still Nobunaga's enemy, he defeated Nobunaga and is on his way back.If there is groundless suspicion afterwards, it will give people an excuse to destroy the Jiusong family. Yu Da nodded quietly, as if she had already made up her mind, with a bright smile on her face, she said softly: "It's rare that you are so devout, we are all the people of the Buddha, I have no reason to reject you, just let me I will be your guide." Yu Da's guess was right.Maeda Mataemon Toshiie wanted to arrange for Yu Yamato to meet Yuanyasu in secret, so as to convey Nobunaga's kindness to Yuanyasu.Toshika believes that all this will bring benefits to the Oda clan when Yoshimoto Imagawa enters Beijing.In addition, he also guessed Aichi Juami's intention, and wanted to complete the task of two people satisfactorily by himself. When Yu Da promised to take the two of the Toshi family to Ogawa, Takeuchi Hataro couldn't help standing up.This man, who seldom showed his emotions, seemed abrupt about what he was thinking at this moment. "Farewell." He said hastily.Jiu Liu quickly sent him to the gate. "Mind your own business." Portaro moved his chin into the house, took the whip and walked towards the stable.I don't know if he is talking about Lijia or Yu Da. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a hot and humid wind blew the earth.Jiu Liu also followed.He watched Hataro's horse disappear into the pine forest in front of the door.Halfway through, Hataro raised a small red flag behind the saddle.People who don't know the inside story only know that it is a red cloth strip meaninglessly fluttering on the horse's back. Hataro did not take the road, but rode his horse through the village, and only rode back when he found that there was no way to go.When he came to the area of ​​Xiaoshiyuan, where the water of Ogazama and the Jingchuan River meet, he just got off his horse and strode into the ferryman's hut beside the Ogawa River. "Xiong Ruomiya is here." The fifty or so ferrymen sitting around in a circle hurriedly bowed to Hataro. "Get ready to do it." Portaro said. "Who is the enemy?" "When the Okazaki people return, attack them. If you ask who you are, tell them that you are the ambush of the Kariya Mizuno family. But don't pursue them." "We are members of Kariya Mizuno's family, we will not pursue." The ferrymen repeated, and immediately set up the boat and headed upstream. Most of the boatmen, common people and heroes in this area are under the control of Hataro. More precisely, these people are the common people who often attack the army. As the form of war changes, the lord may change at any time.Hataro, who was keenly aware of the uneasiness of the people, organized them with weapons and wisdom.During the famine years, grain was transported by sea from Namba City and Tan Port; in terms of name, they claimed to be adherents of the Southern Dynasties, and secretly spread some Shinto beliefs.Therefore, the residents from Nishi Mikawa to Higashi Owari were already Hataro's subordinates before they became subjects of the lord.However, why did Hataro, who originally advocated sending Motoyasu safely back to Sumfu, suddenly decided to surprise the Okazaki people on their way back?Moreover, all of this is under the banner of Yuan Yasushi's uncle, Mizuno Shimono Mori Nobumoto. After tying the horse to the willow tree, Portaro walked into the hut with a cat waist. He took out an old wooden bucket that looked like pickles from the corner with a serious expression, took out the girdle armor, and put it on with a blank expression. Since Western iron was imported into Tangang and Hakata City, people began to make new armors.Hataro is wearing exactly this kind of armor, but it looks more authentic and suitable for activities. Hataro was originally as beautiful as a woman, but now that he put on the armor, he changed into a different person, he looked like a soldier.The armor, even the helmet on the forehead, is made of pure Western iron.The gorgeous clothes he took off were hidden in an old wooden barrel.In the corners of the hut lay spears among the nets and thatch.He stuck a saber in his back and replaced the slender, fancy saber in his hand. When Hataro finished his equipment and walked out of the hut again, four or five fishing boats and small boats of unknown origin had already gathered on the river.Hataro designated a place for everyone to ambush, and rode on his horse alone.The surrounding fog was thick and it was almost evening.Still hoisting a letter flag on the back of his saddle, he galloped up the embankment. This field method is the Wakamiya method named after him.Seeing his figure, the people working in the fields, mountains and rivers disappeared without a trace.No doubt they had returned home to fight. While these actions were in full swing, Matsudaira Motoyasu's army, who had retreated from Dagao Castle, finally came around around Zishi.The moon has not yet come out, the air is very humid, and frogs are singing everywhere.It was pitch black all around, and the only light was the occasional fireflies wandering around. At the front of the line was Sakai Zaemon Yuchuji, and at the back was Ishikawa Hikogoro Iemari. The order was exactly the opposite of the start.Sakai Masakusuke and Yuan Yasushi walked side by side, sandwiched in the middle of the team.Before the enemy came to reinforce them, they transported food and grass into Dagao City, and then returned quickly.It can be said that this retreat was faster than the advance.At this time, Sakuma and Oda Genban may be discussing how to attack Dataka Castle in the tent. Yuan Yasushi's plan is to quickly withdraw to Okazaki Castle before the Oda Army is adjusted, so as not to lose a single soldier.The sudden appearance of the army, and the sudden disappearance of the army, the plan seems to have succeeded.When the Okazakis withdrew from Otakajo in the twilight they met no resistance. "Are there no wild warriors in this area?" Yuan Kang listened carefully to the movement around him, and asked Yale for help. "No." Ya Lezhu replied, "This area is Xiong Ruoguan's territory. Xiong Ruoguan has a good impression of the lord. If someone attacks us, he will execute that person." , a red flame rose into the sky. Ya Lezhu and Yuan Kang looked at the same time.At this time, there were shouts from behind, and a group of people attacked the left flank of the Okazaki army. The Okazaki people thought that there were no more pursuers, and they were going forward boldly with peace of mind. When they were suddenly attacked by this, one can imagine how panicked they were.Forward Saemon Saemon Yuchuji had already arrived at Koishihara and was about to cross the river, while defender Ishikawa Iemari was still in the middle of the barrel, unable to respond from head to tail.What frightened the Okazaki army the most was the darkness that could not be seen.I don't know the strength of the opponent, nor whose army it is.The fire that rose above the right hand was probably intended to illuminate the vanguard and rearguard.However, the main force does not seem to have been attacked yet.Everyone was terrified, stopped advancing, and made preparations for a counterattack. "So they're in the dark." Seeing the left wing being attacked, twelve-year-old Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu jumped to Yuan Yasushi's side nimbly and drew his sword.He suddenly saw the figure of an enemy rushing to the right without a sound, and he could clearly see the long sword behind the man and the majestic horse under his crotch. At this time, there were shouts from both sides, one was brave and fierce, and the other was in a state of embarrassment. "Don't let the line be cut off." Came the voice of Shinrokuro Uemura. "Who? Tell me your name! Who attacked my Sakai Yalesuke's home?" Yalesuke asked loudly in the dark in order not to let the enemy know that this was Yuan Yasuke's main force. "My lord!" Heihachiro spat on the palm of the hand holding Yuankang's mount, and clenched his sword tightly, "Honta Heihachiro Takakatsu is by your side, please rest assured!" Yuan Kang couldn't help laughing at those confident words. The black shadow that once rushed into the main team, now rushed from the right again.They wanted to frighten Songping people so that they could not escape back to Xiaoshiyuan.If there is a stalemate here, the river will not be able to pass after high tide.At that time, the Oda army will attack from behind again, and the hard-won victory will surely turn into a bitter battle. "It's a wild samurai." Yuan Kang was talking to himself, and a shout came from tens of meters to the right. "Listen, Matsudaira Jiro Saburo Motoyasu: Koishihara is Mizuno Shimono Morimoto's territory, and you will never be allowed to intrude in the slightest. If you try to force your way through here, your blood will flow like a river!" Yuan Kang rode on the horse with his gun held out, tilting his head and thinking, "Uncle probably wouldn't make things difficult for us on purpose, but..." Should we defeat them and move on, or should we take a detour to avoid casualties? At this moment, the pitch-black earth gradually brightened.The moon rose, and the sky was filled with black clouds. Sakai Galesuke came to Yuan Kang's side and said, "What should I do? In my opinion, repelling them is the best strategy." "Wait." Yuan Kang stopped.At this time, the sound of the enemy threatening came from the river bank on the right.The dark clouds in the sky are drifting quickly, and the moon will soon emerge from the gaps in the clouds.For the enemy who is familiar with the terrain here, darkness is more beneficial; but for Songping people, bright light is the savior. "Yalozhu, retreat!" "Withdraw?" It was Heihachiro standing in front of the horse who burst into question like sparks, "Loyalty won't withdraw!" Yuan Kang urged the horse to approach Yalesuke, "Shut up! In my opinion, the other party is a wild samurai, and he has been favored by his uncle. If he just let us pass, he will not be able to explain to the Oda clan. I think they must have thought carefully about their trip." "good." "They were just yelling, they didn't come after them. Withdraw to the left!" Everyone is still unclear. "As long as we retreat upstream, we can cross the river at any time. But if we go downstream and the Ogawa tide rises, we may be flanked by the enemy at any time." "Yes!" Yarasuke yelled, and wanted to pat the horse away, but stopped, and called Nananosuke, Hikoemon Mototada and other young warriors in a low voice, and asked them to form a protective circle around Motoyasu. Yuan Kang said to Hachiro: "Nabe nosuke, come here!" "My lord, do you want to retreat?" "It's for the next battle. In the next battle, you must do your best until the sword breaks." "In that case, let's take a long way and go!" Hei Hachiro put the sword into the scabbard, and ran forward with Yuan Kang's horse. "Follow!" Uemura Shinrokuro raised his sword.The sword was shining brightly, reminiscent of the light and shadow of the stream in the valley. Nobunaga thought that Yuan Kang would attack Da Gaocheng before the rainy season, but Yuan Kang deliberately delayed it until after the rainy season; after entering Da Gao City, he quickly withdrew his troops. Seeing that there would be a battle, Yuan Kang escaped the ambush beautifully.Everything is beyond the enemy's expectation, and without harming a single soldier, these generals are already very capable. The procession moved upstream from Koishihara.The commander of the guard, Ishikawa Hikogoro, has received the news, and he skillfully scattered the guard troops on the flat ground to prevent the attack of the ambush. Soon, the moon emerged from a gap in the clouds. Maeda Matazaemon Toshiie heard someone screaming and kicked the bedding away.He never thought that the Matsudaira people would return quickly. If the Matsudaira people had already withdrawn to Okazaki Castle, it would be meaningless even if they took Yu Ozen to Kariya Castle.In view of this, he specially ordered the bearers to speed up and arrive at Dongpu quickly, and then asked the local hero Xiantian Zonghei to arrange accommodation.Senda Zonghei and Toshika's father have a deep friendship. "Go to Qiankun Courtyard early tomorrow morning." He let Yu Da and A Song go to rest first, and went into another room by himself.He removed the saber from the knife holder and slammed open the window.The dark clouds in the sky cleared away at some point, and through the cracks in the branches and leaves of the hazel trees, one could see the Sakai River shining with silver light. Li Jia quietly put on the clogs and went outside.The crescent moon hanging in the air clearly cast his figure on the ground, and the figures of the people and horses moving by the river were as vivid as ink paintings.There is no need to doubt, Yuan Kang obviously gave up the stupid strategy of defending the city against the Oda Army with Udian Changzhao, and chose the plan of transporting food and grass into Dagao City and then quickly evacuating. "What a beautiful job!" Li Jia said to himself, and quickly returned to the room. Yu Da must really want to see Yuan Kang.Thinking of this, Li Jia walked into Yu Da's room without hesitation. "Ma'am, wake up." Yu Da seemed to have woken up. "What's the matter?" She immediately got up and sat up with her clothes on. "Go outside quickly." Yu Da already understood Li's intentions.She stood up silently, and after finishing her attire, she walked out behind Li's family.Asong was still immersed in a sweet dream. Lijia urged Yu Da: "I'll be with you, please rest assured... Hurry up!" Yu Da nodded and followed Li's family closely.One side is a seven-foot-high stone wall, and three sides are earth walls.When passing through the north wall, the vision suddenly widened. Li Jia pointed to Da Yu to the shadow moving by the river, and guessed the location of Yuan Kang's team.In the front are two horses, followed by a group of infantry, and then a group of seven or eight cavalry. At this moment, the striker stopped advancing suddenly.Apparently they saw that the ambushes were no longer chasing them, so they planned to stop and reorganize the team, but the Li family didn't understand the reason.He wanted to go to Yuan Kang's side, let the mother and son who had been separated for more than ten years meet, and at the same time convey Nobunaga's kindness to Yuan Kang.It's just a strategy.But I don't know when, he has sympathized with the unfortunate mother after getting up, and couldn't help but want to cry. In order not to disturb the other party, he quietly came to the shade of a few hazel trees on the river bank, and slowly approached Songping's army. Finally saw the vanguard.The rider has dismounted and is drinking water; the infantry is resting on the side with their guns, waiting for the main force to arrive, and their voices are clearly audible. "Is Mizuno from Kariya really attacking us?" "If it wasn't for them, how could this be happening? Fortunately, we have already broken the siege." "The statement of Deus Ex is a bit exaggerated. I only saw the figure of the enemy..." "Shut up! Although Mizuno is the lord's uncle, he is Owari Fang's ally after all, so he let us go so easily, probably he can't explain it." "So we broke through." "Yes, it was an extremely tough battle." Li's family didn't fully understand what they meant.He just waited behind the tree for the main force to arrive.As long as you finish saying "Please report to Matsudaira Yuanyasu", you can arrange for their mother and son to meet.Thinking of all the scenes after Yuankang's mother and son met, the young Li Jia felt a warm current in his chest. Yu Da suddenly grabbed Li Jia's sleeve and whispered, "Master Maeda, is this team what you want me to see?" "Yes, this is Songping Yuankang's team. After they successfully sent the food and grass to Dagao City, they have withdrawn." "Master Maeda." Yu Da's voice suddenly became extremely severe, "Why did you let me see Matsudaira Motoyasu's team?" This question was obviously beyond Lijia's expectation, and he stared blankly at Yu Da. "I am the wife of Hisamatsu Sadomori, an ally of the Oda clan." "I know, but you are also Matsudaira Motoyasu's mother." "Master Maeda, don't be joking. In the current situation, is it possible to allow mother and son who are their own masters to enjoy family happiness?" "Does Madam say you can't?" "It's absolutely impossible. If we meet, I can only kill him. This is my duty as Hisamatsu Sadomori's wife." "To kill Yuan Kang?" Yu Dading stared at the moon and nodded quietly, "I will never forget your kindness. But as Hisamatsu Sadomori's wife, I must not have second thoughts. Please keep it in mind." She bit her lip and stopped. Saying nothing, shoulders trembled slightly. Li Jia stood there silently.How young and reckless he is, compared with Yu Da's sobriety and judgment, he can't help admiring him.It is true that if Yu Da sees Yuan Kang happily here, then not only her, but also her husband Hisamatsu Satomori will also be regarded as disloyal by Oda.Lee's parents let out a long sigh. At this time, in the river under the embankment, under the light of the waning moon, Yuan Yasu and Uemura Shinrokuro walked side by side. "I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Li Jia whispered in Yu Da's ear, and then pointed to the river. Yu Da trembled all over.Her heart is full of gratitude to Li Jia, but she can't express it in words.If this makes Nobunaga misunderstand, all previous efforts will be in vain.In order to show his loyalty to Nobunaga, Hisamatsu Sadomori's wife swore to the death not to see her own son who had come before her. Only in this way can Nobunaga trust her husband even more. Yuan Kang rode to the front of the horse.He looks like a heroic general, with a majestic face under the moonlight, he is more like Yuda's father Mizuno Tadamasa than his father Hirotada.Since the appearance is similar, the personality and temper must also be similar.What sets Mizuno Tadomasa apart is his perseverance and strategy.That's why he stood firm in an era of frequent wars.Among the Songping family, both Qingkang and Guangzhong died unexpectedly.Yu Da prayed that such a fate would not befall Yuan Kang, and she copied scriptures for Ding. Yuan Kang stopped his horse, how did he know that his mother was just a few feet away?A man brought a bucket of water and put it near the mouth of Yuan Kang's mount, Yuelumao, and Yuelumao drank it hungrily.Yuan Kang shouted: "Ya Le Zhu." There was a reply from the grass.Yuan Kang seemed to have gotten off his horse, and sighed, "It's so dangerous!" "What?" Ya Lezhu didn't understand what the young protagonist meant. "It's too dangerous. When I heard that it was my uncle's army that attacked at night, I couldn't help feeling horrified." "what……" "It wasn't just my uncle's army, the wild samurai from this area also participated. The two sides worked together to attack. After returning to Junfu, you must report this matter to Lord Imagawa, don't forget." "Yes." Ya Lezhu finally understood Yuan Kang's meaning, and replied cheerfully: "It is indeed necessary to report all this to the lord." "I heard that the wild samurai in this area are very disgusted with the Imagawa family. When you come again, you must be more vigilant." "Oh..." Yalezhu's answer was vague and ambiguous.Although he knew that it was necessary to explain to Imagawa Yoshimoto how Mizuno Shimono was loyal to the Oda clan; but what good would it do the Okazaki people to tell the samurai in Yoshimoto's area that they disliked the Imagawa clan?Yalezhu didn't quite understand. "Finally escaped from the tiger's mouth. Keep going!" Uemura Shinrokuro understood and signaled to the team.Forward Sakai Chuji's troops started. The moonlight gradually brightened, and everything around was clearly defined.Yuan Kang was right in front of his mother, looking at the moon, and said to himself: "The moonlight is so cold." Yu Da gritted his teeth and stared at the son in front of him obsessively.Li Jia suddenly felt cold all over, and stood in the shade of the tree blankly.
