A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 52 11. Long-tailed scenery and tiger-like relationship

After clearing a passage to attack Hojo, the Yamauchi army and the people of other countries were naturally ready to retreat. The remaining shaken Ueno people must be dealt with by Hojo Takahiro himself.

Don't even look at what kind of fierce men Hojo Takahiro has under his command. Although his reputation is not great, it has already spread throughout Ueno Country through Nagano Yamasa's mouth. Even nearby Shinano, Shimono, and Musashi heard that more than 1,000 people defeated more than 6,000 people in less than two hours (Nagano Yamasa sold himself), and the Hojo Army's undefeated myth was suddenly torn apart. There are some blind fools jumping out and jumping around.

Do you think you have a mine at home, or do you think you have an oil field at home? Who around here can pull out more than 6,000 troops who are more elite than the Hojo Army? The remaining trash is not a piece of food in front of Hojo Takahiro. At best, it's a warm-up appetizer.

What's more, the leader Kentou Uesugi still has some respect in the local area. Several Nagao branches, as well as Akai, Yokose, Yura, Ohu, Shirakawa and other younger brothers have not completely bowed to Hojo.

Now Echigo came to support them with three thighs, but he destroyed them all. He attacked and wiped out the Hojo clan's garrison and pro-Hojo forces everywhere. Even Hojo Nagatsuna (Genan), who was originally stationed near Hirai, wisely retreated to Musashi to preserve his strength. He was an old man, and when he saw that he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, he had already greased his feet and ran away. As for my great-nephew Hojo Yasumoto, let me have a moment of silence. Anyway, his father, Hojo Tsusunari, was able to give birth to seven or eight sons. He will be able to make up for it this year if he works hard in bed.

Koheita and Hojo Takahiro spent a month's worth of food for an army of 10,000 people, but none of it was theirs anyway, so they didn't feel bad about grabbing Hojo Ujiyasu's food. One is willing to give, the other is willing to ask for it. The people from Shinano who followed us were very happy, and they kept praising you for your kindness and righteousness. They didn't fight a tough battle, they all responded to Shinano, no one died, and they got a lot of food. All of them gave thumbs up: "I insist on getting it, I have to get it. Come and greet us next time something good like this happens, we will be here at your call."

As for the soldiers of the Yamauchi Army, they have made a fortune in Numata County and just want to go home to harvest wheat. This is a huge limitation. The vast number of peasants, soldiers, ashigaru and Jinfu handymen completely focus on their own fields to deal with the lord's military service. They do not understand the righteousness of the family and the country.

So more than 4,000 people went home happily, and their focus was only on their own one-third of an acre. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Koheita were alert to the powerful fighting power of the Echigo Army. Fortunately, the Nagao family belonged to a pro-shogunate force and even had to inherit the title of leader to maintain this broken ship of the shogunate.

After Koheita returned to the mountains, he returned all the extra food to the warehouse, which made Hokahata University feel strange. In this world, when there is no food to eat, people go out to fight bad wars and eat other people's food. As a result, not only did not a few people die in the bad war this time, but they also ate other people's food and brought it back with more food.

This business is definitely a good deal and I can do it more times in the future. Kitahata University patted Xiao Pingtou on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you are great, I am impressed by you again today." Xiao Ping was so embarrassed that he said, "It's a fluke, it's all a fluke." Then he quickly got out of the way.

After returning the grain to the warehouse, he quickly came over to give a report to Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Yamauchi's chief accountant had already reported to Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Yamauchi Yoshiharu also heard various descriptions of the Echigo Army from the mouths of his own supporters. This includes the bravery of everyone from generals to warriors, the courage to fight in the wild (at all times and in all countries, those who dare to take the initiative to fight in the wild are elites), be temperate, united, clear rewards and punishments, use food to the enemy, etc.

The various events of the Echigo Army aroused great interest in both Yamauchi Yoshiharu and his son, and they seemed to be admiring each other only for a one-time relationship. I thought that this person could be roped in to become my strong support, while my son thought that he was such a heroic figure and I wanted to meet him. But it is absolutely impossible for them to leave the territory and go to the base camp of Echigo Kasuga Mountain Nagao. After all, the alliance relationship has not been completely clarified, even if it is an alliance, it must be on guard. What's more, what can I do if I go, Nagao Kagetora is not at home either.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu simply proposed that since Nagao Jingtora has made friends with the shogunate and the imperial court in Luozhong. In the name of the May Festival, he could go to Luozhong to present festival gifts to the government and the court, and then pretend to meet the Nagao Kagetora along the way.

Several Yamauchi ministers and Yamauchi Yoshiharu also believed that this was feasible. They were familiar with the route to Kyoto. The Yamauchi father and son had been traveling back and forth for decades, and they were in third-party territory, so the safety factor was greatly improved.

Xiaopingtai immediately jumped out and said that he could escort Yamauchi Yisheng to Luozhong. There's no need to bother anyone else as a guard, he's happy to oblige. This made other people present very strange. After all, Uchida, the magistrate of Uchida, is already famous for his laziness and inaction (euphemistically called rule by inaction). Except for murder, arson, robbery, and tax collection, he ignores all official matters and lets everything go. Since then, some colleagues still don’t know what their immediate boss looks like. Moreover, Xiaopingtai has not had a single murder case since he took office for more than half a year, which means that Xiaopingtai has never been to work at all.

As for encouraging farmers to teach mulberry trees, rewarding farming and weaving, pacifying bandits, and building water conservancy projects. These tasks can actually be done without Xiao Pingtai. Small-scale peasant society has strong stability and vitality. As long as there are no large-scale man-made disasters or natural disasters, it will not be stable. As for the rest of the things like sneaking around and breaking shoes, what does Yamauchi Yoshiji do to feed you fellows! This trivial matter will also bother the Tsuna family on behalf of Zi Xiaoji in this county!

So everyone present, except for Yamauchi Yoshikatsu who didn't know why, everyone else looked like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. This was the first time! This lazy guy actually took the initiative to do the work.

Xiaoping sat down and scratched his head. Yamauchi Yoshiharu thought that it was rare for you to take the initiative to grab a job, so he would definitely arrange for you to do it. Of course Koheita is happy to meet the Echigo Dragon, so there's nothing he shouldn't be happy about.

Immediately, Yamauchi Yoshiharu ordered him to bring some flour from Shinmai, as the rice was not used for a long time, and some dried fruits from Koshu. I won’t bring any gold, just prepare two more horses to carry a few hundred strings of counterfeit coins. As for wine, I can buy some more in Kyoto.

On the contrary, it was cheaper than the official in Beijing, and he could pick up things for free, so it was natural for Yamauchi to win. Anyway, I don’t feel bad about selling my father’s land. It’s my father’s property, so I don’t have to bear the burden of giving a few to others.

Xiaopingtai deceived Aji, "Your master, I am going to take you to Luo. Come with me to see the world."
