Chapter 284 Battle of Tianshen Mountain City

Mino country, Nagara River.

The Nagara River originated in Oinidake in Hida Country, and then flows from north to south through the Noo Plain and flows into the sea at Ise Bay.

The Nagara River is an important water system of Noo, and it is called the Kiso Three Rivers along with the Kiso River and Ibi River. Because of the clear water, it is also known as the three clear streams in Japan together with the Kakita River and Shimanto River.

Although the Nagara River is clear, it is often flooded. Historically, this river was also called Sumata River.

In the 9th year of Yongroku, Owari Oda's family invaded Mino Nichiji.

Oda Nobunaga learns from the battle of Dodo and was defeated by Saito's general Nagasori Tori. He decides to build a castle in Sumata on the lower reaches of the Nagara River as a foothold to attack Mino.

Not long ago, Oda Nobunaga sent the old Sakuma Nobunori one after another, and the Shibata Shengjia led an army to Sumata to build the castle, but they were defeated by the Saito army.

Just when the Oda family was preparing for the third time to build the city of Sumata, Gujo Hachiman Castle, located on the upper reaches of the Nagara River, was at the time of the annual Bon Festival and when the common people danced the bon dance.

The local bon dance custom has its origins very early. Generally, a stage is set up in the center of the venue. A row of lanterns and big drums are hung on it. In the sound of the drums, local residents gather to dance and wear A yukata, a fan in hand, and dance steps that have been familiar since childhood to the beat.

Whether you are a local or a foreigner, you can join in and have fun together.

And this formal Bon dance dance was just implemented by the lord of the local Hachiman Castle Endo Kei-taka, with the purpose of bringing harmony among the people in the territory.

This activity was once interrupted in history, but it became popular again in modern times.

At night, Endo Kei-taka, wearing a zigzag hat on his head and a sword in his waist, was standing on the castle tower of Gujo Hachiman Castle, looking at the brightly lit scene in the castle town.

The joyous laughter of the people came from far away from time to time.

Endo Keilong didn't feel a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Endo Keilong is only seventeen years old this year, and his family business is inherited from his father Endo Morizo.

The land of Hachiman in the prefecture was originally owned by the local rich family, the Dong clan, and the Endo clan was only his retainer.

In the second year of Genroku, the Endo family succeeded in defeating the family. Endo Moriji destroyed the main family of the Dong family and became a powerful local family. At present, there are three cities of Gujo Hachiman Castle, Toden Mountain Castle, and Shinowaki Castle, under the control of 20,000 Stoney.

When Endo Keilong was looking at the scenery, he suddenly felt his back sink, and turned his head to see that it was his newlyweds who had added a piece of clothing to him.

Endo Keilong smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand to embrace his wife, and then Wu Fuzuo, who had his left hand directly from his wife’s chest, reached in and kneaded vigorously.

A hint of flushing appeared on his wife's face, and then a groan was heard slightly.

Endo Keilong was satisfied with the expression on his wife’s face. He was originally married to the daughter of Shoujiu Ando, ​​the lord of the northern city of Mino, but died of illness not long ago, and now he is married to the daughter of Hida's elder sister Koji Yoshira. .

"Don't...don't do this, my father...coming."

It was the time when Endo Keilong was in high spirits. When he uncovered his belt, he suddenly heard his wife say this, and asked in a moment of surprise: "My father-in-law is here?"

The other side nodded slightly, and said, "Not only is Father Father coming, but also Nagai-sama."

"Oh?"

After hearing the words, Endo Keilong was taken aback, and asked in a deep voice, "Yehba, what's the matter?"

Her wife bowed down and said in tears: "Husband, the Takeda family is in Hida for no reason, and invaded the father's territory. My father fought to death with all his servants, but couldn't support it. Now my sister Xiaolu family has reached the end of the day and hopes. Husband can count on my careful service on weekdays, save my sister Xiaolu’s house."

Endo Keilong comforted his wife softly, saying: "Yoba, don't worry, the father-in-law's business is my business, and I will never sit idly by. Right now I see my father and father-in-law. Moreover."

Hearing the words, Ye Ye showed a look of relief, and bowed for a long time and said, "Then everything will come to you."

Immediately, Endo Keilong dressed up his robe and took the samurai sword and strode towards the castle tower.

Seeing Endo Keilong's departure, Ye Zi lifted his head, and the sadness that had just turned away.

She shook her head slightly, thinking of her father and sister Yoshiro Koji said to herself when she married into Endo's family from Hida.

As a woman from the martial arts family, all happiness cannot be controlled by her own, but lies in her mother's family.

And the purpose of her marrying into the Endo family is to one day make the Endo family use it for her sister Koru family, so her task is to serve and please her husband, so that her sister Koru will use it in the future.

Endo Keilong strode into the castle tower, knowing that today is unusual.

This time, in addition to his father-in-law Hida Kuniji and sister Koji Yoshiro, his stepfather Nagori Idori also came.

The wife of Endo Keilong’s father, Morisuki Endo, was the daughter of the Patriarch of the Toshi family, the owner of which he had perished.

Morisuki Goendo spent five years in Yongroku and joined the Saito clan and died in a battle with the Oda clan. At this time, at the age of thirteen, Endo Keilong succeeded as the governor of the house.

At that time, in order to strengthen his son's position as the governor of the house, Endo Keilong's mother remarried to the lord of the city, Idori.

Let Nagai Tori be the hindsight of Endo Keilong and assist him in managing the family business.

Nagai Tori himself was a minister who served the three generations of Saito family, Saito Dozo, Yoshiryu, and Ryuxing. As a famous general of Saito family, he has been active in fighting the Oda family in recent years.

He was also a cruel person. When he was a vassal of Yoshiyuki, he deceived Saito Michizo's other two sons and killed him with Hine Nobichu, helping Yoshiyuki complete his father-killing move.

When Keilong Endo walked into the corridor, he heard the voices of two people in the room.

"Nagai-sama, it is very presumptuous to ask your Excellency this time. I heard that the Oda family has been very anxious to attack Mino in the past few years. At this time, I am pleased by Lord Yoshilong. , I really embarrass you."

The other person laughed long and seemed very bold, and said: "Dana's words are serious. You and I are friends in the world and the alliance of the Saito family. You should support each other, and Shingen Takeda is a current careerist, and the Oda family. Not to mention the alliance, but also intends to annex Hida, so he will never succeed."

When Endo Keilong heard this, he thought: That's how my father meant it, and he really supported me in sending troops to help my father-in-law tide over this difficulty.

Thinking of this, Endo Keilong has stepped into the room, and his father-in-law Yoshiro Koji and stepfather Nagai Tori are discussing with each other.

When Endo Keilong saw the two, he stepped forward to formally meet.

After Nagai Daori met Endo Keilong, he laughed and said: "At the moment, the Oda family is in a hurry to attack Mino. I am sitting in Seki Sei and cannot leave. Therefore, Lord Nayan, I ordered my son Keilong to replace him. I will go out to help you withstand the Takeda family's attack, so do you think it's okay?".

Sister Koji Ryorai smiled and looked down at Endo Keilong, and asked: "The Takeda family has always been rampant in Kanto and is known as the strongest army in the world. Keilong, can you?".

Endo Kei Taka immediately said without hesitation: "It is an honor that the samurai of my Endo family are very good at fighting. I have long wanted to see the strength of the Takeda army. Please rest assured, my father-in-law, I will defeat the invading enemy for you. ."

Nagai Daori also said: "Very good, this is what a young man should look like, what do you think of Da Nayan?"

Sister Koji Ryorai nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Nagai, with the help of Kyung-Long, defeating the Takeda army is easy. It does not take long. After I defeated the Takeda family, I made Kyung-Lung return to Mino. Under the circumstances, I am still more worried about Lord Nagai. Oda Nobunaga’s ambition is not inferior to Takeda Shingen, and Yoshimoto was defeated by him when he went to Luo, and Lord Nagai must be cautious."

Tori Nagaido smiled, and said: "Oda was overwhelmed. I admit that Oda Nobunaga is not the rumored Owari fool, but his ability is not enough to annex Mino. Soon. In other words, Nobunaga wants to build a castle in Sumata in the lower reaches of the Nagara River, as the forefront of the enterprising Inaba Mountain Castle, but the land of Sumata is close to the main house and far from the Oda family, so it’s not so easy to build a castle."

"Before Nobunaga ordered the two best generals of the Oda clan, Nobori Sakuma, and Shibata Katsuya built the castle, but they both lost. It's funny to say that Oda Nobunaga didn't give up. This time he will build the castle. Entrusted to a retainer from a farmer named Kinoshita or something. I don't believe that even the famous general Sakuma and Shibata can't do it, he can do it."

Sister Koji Ryorai laughed when he heard this, and said, "If Nagai-sama is sitting here, Oda Nobunaga will not succeed, so I can rest assured."

Speaking of this, there was a sneer on Sister Koji Ryorai’s face, thinking that Li Xiao must have not expected that I would personally rescue the Saito family. When Endo Keilong reaches this new force, the Takeda family will be caught off guard. , Defeated. Li Xiao, Li Xiao, my sister Xiaolu Lianglai wants to see who can take charge of Hida in the future.

Hida Kingdom, Tianshin Mountain City.

Tenjin Mountain Castle, also known as Taga Mountain Castle, was the residence of Hida guarding the Daitaga clan.

After the rise of the Miki clan, it was owned by the Miki family.

In the first year of Yonglu, Sister Koji Ryorai was outside the Tenjin Mountain Castle and killed his brother Miki Kurai, paving the way for his sister Koji Raizuna to inherit his sister Koji’s family in the future.

In the Tensho year, after taking the Hida country by the order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Kanamori Nagami rebuilt the castle on the Tenjinzan Castle and named the new castle Takayama Castle.

For hundreds of years thereafter, Takayama Castle remained the residence of the lord of the Hida Takayama Domain.

In the nine years of Yonglu, the end of July.

Li Xiao issued a military order to the powerful family to which he belonged.

Li Xiao led the 950 people of Qimoto to arrive at the castle of Tenjinshan. After that, two hundred people from the Nabeyama family ~lightnovelpub.net~ Hirose family arrived, and the next day Uchishima Shiri also led the three hundred troops of the Uchijima family to arrive.

After pooling his forces, Li Xiao was waiting to wonder why the current force of Sister Xiaolu was so scarce.

Yokotani Yukishige sent an emergency report to Li Xiao.

It turned out that Jiangma Jia Jiangma Fraser led eight hundred troops from the plateau Suwa Castle, and on the other side, the Endo family, a tycoon of Kami-gun, Shinano Prefecture, also entered Shinano for reinforcements. The army reached 1,000 troops. Finally, Yoshikoji Yoshiro himself came from Sakuradong Castle. A thousand and two hundred military forces have been assembled.

These are all three, the force of extreme mobilization, and now the three great clansmen are rushing to the city of Tianshen Mountain in three ways, preparing for a decisive battle with Li Xiao.

Li Xiaowenzhi immediately issued an order to Shima Shengmeng, asking him to immediately lead Kamokabei to come to support from Kamoka City.

This battle is unprecedented for Hida, the country of bullets, and will determine the fate of the entire Hida, and it will soon begin under the castle of Tenjin Mountain.
