On the evening of June 28, the 14th year of Astronomy (1546), north of Nishio City, on the bank of the Yahagi River.
While Yamada Keitaka directed his men to clean up the battlefield, he arranged for auxiliary soldiers and civilians to begin building simple fortifications and watchtowers on the south bank of the Yahagi River to keep an eye on the movements of the Oda army stationed on the north bank.
At this time, Imagawa Goro had been sent back to Nishio Castle. Some of the Imagawa family samurai who returned to the city excitedly held a celebration banquet in the castle tower. Imagawa Goro was also invited to the main seat, but his face was always pale and he was shaking.
Speechless.
"Master Okabe, what's going on, young master?" Kisang Osawa approached Okabe Motonobu and asked in a low voice, "I used to personally wear the horse seal to fight on the battlefield, wasn't it still majestic and heroic? Why now?
It’s so out of tune.”
"Haha, to be honest, the young master has not recovered from the torment yesterday. Originally, he was resting in bed. Seeing that the battle situation was not going well, we guards came together to invite the young master.
'Come out to hold the line." Before Okabe Motonobu could reply, Asahina Taito on the side had already interjected with a smile.
"Ah?" Osawa Kisho, Uden Chomochi and others were all stunned, "You forced the young master to come out? This is disrespectful... It would be lighthearted for you to commit seppuku."
"No way, the young master agreed to it himself." Okabe Gennobu turned to look at Imagawa Goro and replied seriously - he was referring to Imagawa Goro lying on the quilt, and it seemed that he hadn't quite heard what the question was.
I just said "uh huh ah" a few times.
"What about the young master taking the initiative to ride his horse towards the battle formation on the battlefield?" Yudian Changchi asked again.
"The young master still doesn't know how to control the horse. For some reason, the war horse suddenly lost control and rushed forward. The young master couldn't hold it back, so he could only hug the horse's neck and not let go. We were so frightened that we hurried after him."
Odagirihikojiro was still frightened when he mentioned the thrilling experience just now, and murmured: "I was really scared to death...I don't agree with them forcibly inviting the young master out. If the young master makes a mistake on the battlefield..."
"Master Lengquan taught us that as servants, we should not be too used to the young master, and we should advise when we need to. At this critical moment that determines the outcome of the battle, how can we, as the heir of the Wu family, hide in the city and watch the success or failure? Yes.
Well, we are admonishing the young master and teaching the young master how to become a hero." Okabe Motobu began to make excuses for himself plausibly, which sounded like a sudden incident at first glance, "You see, the young master is not the same at that time.
Didn't you punish us? It means that the young master followed the advice very well and approved our advice."
Forehead……
Everyone turned their attention to Imagawa Goro who was on the throne. The latter was still in a state of confusion and had not eaten. How could he have the energy to blame Okabe Motonobu and Asahina Yasutomo? This kid must have been overwhelmed by what happened on the battlefield today.
You must be scared out of your wits.
"Really, Master Lengquan?" Asahina Taichao glanced tentatively at the most respected Lengquan Weihe, "You won't go to His Highness the Family Governor to file a complaint against us, will you?"
After all, Leng Quan Weihe was an old fox who had lived for decades. He replied without thinking: "What are you talking nonsense here? The young master is wise and martial, a young hero, with the style of a family governor and a laboring lord. At a young age, he has
Dare to go into battle and fight. If you guards don't learn from the young master's martial prowess, what are you talking about here?"
Yes, this truth has spread in the Imagawa family, and it seems that the guards of the Imagawa family are under control, and it seems that Goro Imagawa himself is a coward. What good is it? It is better to simply say that it is the wish of Goro Imagawa himself. It can be fine.
Promote it for him and build his reputation and prestige.
Asahina Taimo let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, but Okabe Gennobu knew the ecology of Imagawa's family better and asked uneasily: "Then what if the young master, His Highness, the mistress and Master Yuksai said,
Your Highness, the most precious thing to Mistress and Master Xue Zhai is the Young Master. If they knew that we had put the Young Master in danger twice in two days, they would not have pulled out our skin."
"Then you have to find a way to convince the young master." Leng Quan Weihe glanced at these young guards with a smile, "Whether you stand on a bush to plead guilty or Cheng Menlixue, you can find a way on your own. But young master
The Lord is someone I have watched grow up. Although he is not ambitious, he is a really nice person. After all, the result this time is good. If you admit your mistakes and apologize, the Young Master will not care about it. But remember, there will be no next time.
Already."
"Yes!" Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taitomo, Oda Kirihiko Jiro and others responded in unison.
But before they finished speaking, something unexpected happened.
Sitting in the main seat, Imagawa Goro seemed to have suddenly succeeded in summoning his soul - or was possessed by an evil spirit. He suddenly jumped up from his seat, rushed to the center of the room, and suddenly knelt down on the ground, hugging Lengquan Weikazu's thigh.
He started crying:
"Master Lengquan, they forced me to run to the battlefield. They scared me to death. They scared me to death! I almost died! The horse didn't obey the command at all. I almost fell to death and was killed.
, he was killed! I lost half my life yesterday, and I will lose even the remaining half of my life today! I will never come to the battlefield again, never come to the front line again, and never ride a horse again.
!Scared me!"
Imakawa Goro's crying and shouting caused the entire hall to suddenly stop celebrating. Everyone stared blankly at Imagawa Goro's embarrassed appearance, and only his cry was left in the hall. The samurai of the Imagawa family
No matter what, other samurai like him were dumbfounded at this moment - looking at the color of Imagawa Goro's pants suddenly darkened - he peed his pants. If he didn't pee in fear on the battlefield, he was probably too shocked to look back.
When God came, I was so scared that I peed.
"In this battle, we captured level 70 heads and captured more than 80 people. This almost reduced the number of Oda troops who were marching south by more than half. It's a major victory."
After Yagami, Yamada Ketaka, who had returned from taking inventory of the battlefield, excitedly reported the results of the battle to his colleagues, but saw that everyone's faces were dumbfounded, turning red and white at times. It wasn't just the Imagawa family's samurai who looked wrong,
The foreigners from Mikawa and Yuanjiang all looked as if they were trying hard to suppress their laughter and did not dare to look at Yamada Ketaka.
"What's going on?" Yamada Keitaka grabbed Okabe Motonobu and Asahina Taito and asked, "What's going on, everyone?"
"Peeed." Okabe Motonobu replied briefly.
"Ah?" Yamada Ketaka was confused.
"Young Master." Asahina Taichao added.
"Ah?" Yamada Ketaka still didn't realize that the relationship between the two sentences was the predicate and the subject, "What do you mean?"
Okabe Motonobu and Asahina Tai looked at each other, but neither of them wanted to say this. Finally, they became anxious and started pushing each other, which turned into a public scuffle in the castle tower. Although they had grown up since childhood,
When I was older, it was Okabe Motonobu who beat Asahina Yasutomo based on how many years younger he was. But Asahina Yasutomo has also gone through puberty and his body is almost fully developed. This time, he actually beat Okabe Motonobu.
Once, we were going back and forth until Yamada Kagetaka pulled him away.
"What's going on?" Yamada Ketaka was also anxious and asked in a deep voice.
"The young master has peed!" Asahina Taichao shouted loudly, "We put the young master on the battlefield, but the young master's horse lost control again and ran towards the battlefield carrying him, scaring the young master to the point of urinating.
Got it!"
"Ah?" Yamada Ketaka finally understood the meaning of the conversation just now and the reason why Okabe Motonobu and Asahina Yasumo remained silent, but then he cursed angrily: "Shut up, you can't whisper this, there are so many people around.
What? Can you afford to tarnish the reputation of the young master?"
"The young master peed his pants at the celebration banquet in front of everyone."
Okabe Motonobu whispered the fact that this blood was like blood, oh no, it was like urine.
Later, Okabe Motobu also thoughtfully offered a cold joke:
"In a few days, everyone in the Imagawa family will know about it. In a month, everyone in Tokaido will know about it. In a year, the whole world will know about it. The young master of the Imagawa family peed his pants in battle.
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.”
June 29, the 14th year of Astronomy (1546), on the banks of the Yahagi River.
Although Imagawa Goro's scandal spread throughout both the enemy and our armies the next day, in any case, the Imagawa family's victory was real. The Oda army pressed on the border, but was defeated in the first battle and was discouraged. The dignified Oda family superintendent
It is even more ridiculous that Tian Nobuhide was defeated by the young master of the Imagawa family who wet his pants in battle and a subordinate Yamada Keitaka. However, the people of Mikawa had high morale and were waiting for help.
There is more hope.
"They were actually picked out by the little guys?" Oda Nobuhide was also troubled after hearing the news. "Then the horse lost control? Did he pee his pants in fear? This was actually the winner of this battle?
"
"Look at how the young master's valet encourages the young master to grow up. Even if he risks being beheaded, he must force the young master to make progress and drive the young master on the right path." And next to Oda Nobuhide.
Hirate Masahide was thinking about something else entirely, "I can't be compared with them. For the sake of the young master, I have to do what needs to be done, even if it means committing seppuku."
"I'm still thinking, isn't it that the young master of the Imagawa family has always been rumored to be addicted to flowers, birds, romance, and the moon? How could he be so brave? I also doubted last night whether the Imagawa family deliberately spread false news to cover up the true ability of the young master.
"Did you think too much... or did you not think too much?" Lin Xiuzhen on the side also muttered to herself.
"Don't think about what is there and what is not. The top priority is to think of a way to reverse the situation of the war and launch the offensive again." Seeing that everyone was silent, Oda Nobuhide cleared his throat and asked in a low voice: "This
This great opportunity must not be let go like this. If we continue to attack, we cannot retreat like this."
