Chapter 1084: The Undercurrent of Kanto Resurrection
Just when Roche Nobura and Yamamoto Kansuke were in Tomjiang, the local area of Mikawa took advantage of the opportunity to defeat the Suruga Imakawa family and the Hojo family coalition forces and began to clean up internal instability factors again. Outside Edo Castle in Musashi Country in Kanto region, a team of Hojo family's army was returning to Edo Castle.±
Since Kenshin Uesugi (i.e., Masato Uesugi and Keiko Nagata, both of whom) retreated to Echigo Kingdom and the Kanto Alliance was disbanded, the Hojo family naturally quickly began to launch a large counterattack. Many wealthy families of Musashi Kingdom and Ueno Kingdom surrendered and all re-listed in "Odawara Issue Junta", but the Mida family openly resisted the Hojo family.
At this time, Hojo Ichiyasu, who was in need of an example to shock the rich families, immediately began to conquer the Mita family without hesitation. At the beginning of the conquest, the general of the Hojo family army was originally from Tsunasei Hojo, but after the Suruga Ichigawa family made a request to join forces to attack the Tohsugi Kingdom, Hojo Ichigawa was moved by the previous son-in-law of the Ichigawa family, who sent reinforcements to rescue the Hojo family when the Hojo family was in crisis. So he waved his hand and sent the powerful general of Hojo Tsunasei Hojo to be the general of the reinforcements to support the Suruga Ichigawa family. Hojo Ichigawa family replaced the position of General of the Mita family's expedition army that Hojo Tsunasei had previously held.
Just a few days ago, under the command of Hojo Ichiyasu, the Hojo family army finally attacked the last residence of the Mita family in one fell swoop and destroyed the Mita family. Today is the day when Hojo Ichiyasu led the army back from the Mita family territory.
After learning that Doctor Zuoke (the official position of Hojo Ichiyashi) passed by Edo Castle and was preparing to rest in the city today, the people of the Hojo family liked it very much. So today when Hojo's soldiers entered Edo Castle, the roadside outside Edo Castle was full of people who were welcoming.
Under the winter sunshine, on the road in Edo Castle and Castle Town, the Hojo family army was majestic and advanced slowly. The stingers were wearing hats, with flag fingers on their backs, leggings on their legs, and straw shoes stomped on dust. The samurai riding war horses were straight and the war horses were all bright and bright. They looked particularly energetic.
Seeing this scene, the Hojo family members on both sides retreated to the dirt road to greet them. The people looked at the army moving forward, and not only showed a kind of surrender of the inferior, but also had a hint of envy and pride.
"This is our Hojo family's army!"
Everyone looked at the marching army and showed envy. At this moment, many children from the farm also had the idea of becoming a Hojo samurai in the future. Several farmers who followed the battlefield pointed to the flags they had walked, and then introduced to the people of their hometown which general's flag seal was. Then they would give them a lot of praise for their knowledgeable praise.
"Oh. It's the banner of Lord Tsunaya Tsunaga. He is a powerful general of my Hojo family. It is said that he has never been injured once when he has been on the battlefield."
"Oh, it's the Masato Toyaka family. I used to hold a flag under his command back then. It's such an unforgettable life."
"Silent, quiet!"
"Dr. Zuo Jing is coming soon."
"Damn it, give me peace of mind."
After a few people shouted, the people who were talking around suddenly became quiet, and then they looked at the way they came, waiting for the arrival of Hojo Shiyashi's qinmoto. Among these people, several people dressed as farmers were also quietly watching the Hojo family army being moving.
"The Hojo soldiers are really elite! If they had not had a numerical advantage, they would not be able to compete with our Torii army, or the regular staff of our Luo family could fight against it." One of these people, wearing a hat and a short stature, said.
"Chang Wuro, it's too exaggerating to say that, right?" Another person next to the short man said.
"Okay, quiet! Hojo Ichiyasu's flag is here." While the two were still talking, the person who seemed to be the leader of these people said. If there were people from the Luo family here, they would recognize that this person was Takahashi Shaoyun of the Luo family. As soon as Takahashi Shaoyun's words came out, the two who were originally talking immediately shut up.
Soon after, the Hojo Ichiyasuka Main Formation arrived, and the front was the "Three Scale" flag. When the Hojo people saw that the Hojo Ichiyasuka's flag arrived, they all bowed to the side of the road.
Seeing this, Takahashi Shaoyun and others had to kneel down. They all lowered their hats in front of their foreheads, then raised their heads slightly, and looked at the moving Hojo Katsuki team.
After half a quarter of an hour, the army of Hachimoto was walking by, only to see Hojo Izuyashi wearing a red background, gold and platinum paper inlaid with arrays of Haori, slowly passing by.
Looking at the other party, Takahashi Shaoyun's gaze narrowed slightly. He had been stranded in the Musashi area for more than a month. He had never had the chance to see Hojo Izuka with his own eyes before, but he finally saw it today. Hiding his eyes under the hat, Takahashi Shaoyun looked at Hojo Izuka carefully and said in his heart thoughtfully: "This is the Sagami lion, and there is not anything strange, it is not as terrible as the rumors."
After looking at Hojo Ichiyasu, Takahashi Shaoyun then looked at someone next to Hojo Ichiyasu:
"This person is Hojo Kazuya's second son, isn't it? It is reported that Hojo Kazuya officially announced his retirement the year before yesterday and gave up the position of Hojo Kazuya to this Hojo Kazuya. However, from the current situation, Hojo Kazuya still holds the real power of the Hojo family."
"But it is reported that this time during the conquest of the Mita family, this second man from Hojo Ichiyasu made great contributions."
Shaoyun Takahashi kept murmuring to himself that the record of Hojo's army being the first to climb to the top of Mita Family City in the past few days has been rumored to be rumored. However, in Shaoyun Takahashi's view, it is very likely that Yasuhiro Hojo was building momentum for his son.
Thinking of this in his heart, Takahashi Shaoyun also looked at Hojo Masaya carefully. He saw that Hojo Masaya's facial expression was calm as water at this time, and he didn't look proud at all. No matter whether his previous record was real, it was really rare that people around him still maintained this state of mind while everyone was praising him.
Takahashi Shaoyun immediately remembered himself. He was twenty-seven years old this year. He was previously a samurai warrior from the Takeru family, responsible for protecting the safety of the lady. He stayed in the country of Chimachi for five or six years. Later, Miss Sara Risa, as the adopted daughter of the overlord of Kyushu, Ouchi Yoshitaka, married his lord, Masara Luo, at this time, and he followed the lady to the Luo family.
Originally, he thought he would have to spend a few years in a daze, but as the Oui family tore up the alliance with the Luo family, he secretly joined forces with the Oui family to deal with the Luo family. He also followed the young lady Sara Sara and was deceived back to the Chimachi Kingdom by taking the excuse of returning home to visit relatives. Then the young lady was placed under house arrest in the Samurai family temple of the Chimachi Kingdom, and he himself was also sent to be responsible for protecting and surveillance. At this time, neither Miss Sara Sara nor himself knew that the Oui family had torn up the alliance and joined forces with the Oui family to attack the Luo family.
It was this change that made his life change. He still remembered that it was a summer evening, and the lady suddenly found him, and then handed him a bag, asking him to rush to Feiqianguo overnight and handed the bag to Luo Shi Zhengliang, the governor of the Luo family. So after a brief inner struggle, he still agreed to the lady Suoliang Risa's request and rushed to the Luo family overnight. This is the "beans in the bag" incident recorded in the famous battle teaching examples of the Luo family's academic college.
Since this incident, he has been appreciated by the Luo family's governor of Luo family, and has made a lot of contributions in the process of conquering the former country. After so many years of hard work, he has finally reached his current status in the Luo family.
To be honest, he has already felt a little proud of his own status recently, but now after seeing the performance of the Hojo clan, he suddenly woke up. Just when Takahashi Shaoyun was still reflecting on himself, Hojo clan and Hojo clan had already rode their horses by. At this moment, a retainer beside him whispered to Takahashi Shaoyun: "Sir, see if that samurai is the lord of Edo Castle, Tai Yasushi?"
"Oh?" Takahashi Shaoyun came to his senses and looked up slightly. At this time, Hojo Ichiyasu's flag team had indeed passed. The people were half dispersed on the spot. Takahashi Shaoyun also stood up and raised the hat on his forehead. He saw a samurai who was as tall as a man and was riding a red war horse slowly entering his eyes.
"Ta-Yan Yasuji? Not bad, his appearance is similar to the portraits given by the retainers of our intelligence cabinet. It should be him."
"Sir, are we looking for an opportunity to meet this person?" After hearing that Takahashi Shaoyun had confirmed that the samurai was Tai Yasuhito, a retainer immediately asked in a low voice.
But after hearing this, Takahashi Shaoyun shook his head and said, "No!"
After saying that, Takahashi Shaoyun turned around and began to leave. At the same time, he continued with a smile on his face, "The purpose has been achieved, I will leave."
"Ah?" Everyone immediately let out a low voice of exclamation. Previously, they thought that Takahashi Shaoyun was waiting here specifically to confirm the whereabouts of Tai-Yan-San, which was mentioned by the Intelligence Bureau, and then look for an opportunity to meet him in secret. Now it seems that this is not the case.
