After sending Awa Zonden 6 away, the Awaji navy did not rush back to Urato Castle to blockade them, but instead set up two water forts at the mouth of the Monobe River. Fuyuyasu Anzai was standing on the bow of the flagship at the moment.
Watch the sailors rush to work as required.
"Father..." Anzhai Nobuyasu stood behind him and hesitated for a long time before asking the question, "I always feel that something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" An Zhai Dongkang didn't look back, he just asked in a persuasive manner.
"Didn't the second uncle make a plan before? The first goal of this battle is to kill Yuqiu Hongye instead of taking Tosa?" Anzhai Nobuyasu recalled several past evaluations and asked puzzledly, "Then why
What if the Awaji Marine Army withdraws the encirclement and lures the Momiji Army to retreat? What if Amaki Momiji really withdraws by boat? Although Tosa captured it effortlessly as soon as he left, isn't our target his own?
"Don't worry, he won't leave. Withdrawing the siege, we just need to mobilize some troops to blockade Kishiwada Port to prevent possible support from the Oda family." Fuyayasu Anzhai laughed when he heard this and turned around slowly.
Looking at his son, "My son, you must learn to recognize people. Yuqiu Hongye is a good person and will not abandon his allies."
"Even if that ally is treacherous and wants to betray him to us?" Anzhai Nobuyasu asked in disbelief, "Even if he and that ally are almost at war with each other?"
"Yes." An Zhai Dongkang replied without hesitation, "Some people, if you treat them favorably all their lives, doing one wrong thing is enough to make them turn against each other. Some people, you have never treated them well, as long as you help them
Once, he will remember it for a lifetime."
"If possible, I would very much like to work with that gentleman Yuqiu Hongye. Compared with a tyrannical figure like Chosonggabu Motochin, he is obviously a more reliable partner. It's just that our positions are limited, and I'm afraid that we will all be together in the end.
It’s the enemy.”

At this moment, the Red Leaf Army, just as Anzai Toyasu said, went out in large numbers to rescue Oka Toyo Castle.
Yu Qiupei left Yutō Ogawa's Shoshubei to guard Urato Castle to prevent the back route from being cut off by the Sanukis. If the Sanukis ignored Urato Castle and went straight east, the Shoshubes would pursue Sanuki all the way.
The crowd forced him not to go to Gangfeng City to attack Yu Qiuping.
Yu Qiuping himself led the cavalry company and Yoshioka Shengmasa's Liaoyuan Bei to rush to support Gangfeng City. Since it was getting late, they only traveled 20 miles before dark, and there were still more than 20 miles away from Gangfeng City.
However, considering that there would be a big battle tomorrow, Yu Qiuping did not dare to let the troops travel overnight, but instead set up camp and rest on the spot.
·
Not long ago, the main force of the Chosoga family on the Toyonaga-Kuzuhara front also received news that the Awa clan had landed in the Monobe River basin in the rear! After a moment of confusion within the camp, it fell into complete panic.
and despair. Because the food and fodder for the Chosougabe family's army was transported along the Monobe River to Yamada, and then sent to the front line via Route 6. If Awa Zhong climbed there, the food route of the Chosogabe family would be
It may no longer be guaranteed!
In front of them is Miyoshi Chokei's army who is eyeing him, and in the back are Miyoshi Yoshihide and Awa Zhong who are penetrating into the hinterland. Chosou's family is already in dire straits. Kira Chisada of Oka Toyo Castle is the commander-in-chief, and his troops are being repaired on the front line.
The only troops that can be mobilized in the entire rear area are Gu Zhongcheng and Jiangcun's family. There are only 700 people in total. They are no match for the Awa Zhong.
"It's all Yuqiu Hongye's fault!" Kuwana Yoshinari shouted angrily, "If he hadn't abandoned us and withdrawn our troops, such a thing would never have happened!"
However, when Kuwana Yoshinari made a big fuss this time, he did not get as much response as before. Although everyone in the Changzonggabe family wanted to blame everything on Yu Qiuping, when they asked themselves, they found that the opposite was true.
It was because they could not stand on their own. Yu Qiuping had warned countless times that they should beware of the Miyoshi family's invasion from the hinterland of Tosa, so they had to shrink their defense line. However, the Chosogabe family always refused, and instead asked Yu Qiuping to take the initiative. In the end,
The conflict between the two sides intensified, leading to such a situation where they broke up.
"Don't talk about those things that are available or not." Fukuliu Qinzheng patted the table impatiently and scolded in a deep voice, "Now is the time for the life and death of the Chozong family, so everyone should concentrate!"
"My lord, I will lead my troops to stop the pursuers of the Miyoshi army." Fukudome clasped his fist towards Chosou Motochin and asked for orders resolutely, "My lord, please lead your troops back immediately and defeat Miyoshi Yoshihide.
Come back for support! If the front line has been lost, please return to Okafeng City and hold on! As long as it is delayed until the autumn harvest, the Miyoshi family can only withdraw their troops!"
Everyone present understood that the first scenario mentioned by Fukuliu's pro-government was almost non-existent - the main force of Chang Zong's army could not resist Miyoshi Changqing, let alone Fukuliu's pro-government. But if we don't return the support at this moment,
, if Miyoshi Yoshihide is allowed to cut off the grain road and then attack from the north and the south, all of Changzong's troops will die in the mountainous area.
"This is the last resort." Chozonggabu Yuanqin nodded a little heavily, and then turned his attention to Xiangzonggabu Qintai, "How is it? Has the peace talks with the Miyoshi family made any progress?"
"There has been no progress. The Miyoshi family has been wrangling. It may be a delaying tactic. When Miyoshi Yixian ascends to the 6th level, we will have no way to bargain." Xiangzong's chief Tai clenched his fists in frustration, "I made an oversight.
If you let the evil plot of the Sanhao family succeed, please punish me, my lord."
"Then we have no choice but to withdraw." Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin nodded pretending to be calm, indicating that the retainers did not need to panic, "After Lord Fukudome broke off, the others immediately led their troops to break away from the Miyoshi family, and the entire army retreated quickly. We must quickly
, Okafeng Castle is already an empty city and cannot last long."
"Yes." All the retainers of the Chosong Gabu family said goodbye to Fukudome in turn. They understood that there was basically no chance of coming back alive after blocking the main force of Miyoshi Changqing 2000. Fukudome was still stern.
With a straight face and no emotional changes, he returned the greetings to his colleagues one by one.
However, at this moment, another messenger arrived on horseback. He did not even announce by his surname, but directly entered the main tent of the Chinese army. Everyone could clearly see the surprise and excitement on his face.
Time was at a loss, and I didn’t understand what else to be happy about in such a situation? Could it be that Jiangcun’s relatives defeated the Awa Zhong with 200 people?
"Lord!" The messenger knelt down and returned, but couldn't help but raise his head and said loudly, "His Majesty Kira asked His Highness Jibu for help. His Highness Jibu agreed to the request and has already sent troops from Urato Castle! It will be available tomorrow.
I feel that Oka Toyo Castle is helping the garrison!"
"What?" Only one person in the tent, Fuliu Qingzheng, exclaimed, while the others were too stunned to speak.
Enmity will be repaid with kindness, but that's all.

At 3:30 on the morning of June 2, the Red Leaf Army that had come all the way arrived at the foot of Oka Toyo Castle. To Yu Qiupei's surprise, there were no troops from the Miyoshi family near Oka Toyo Castle. Instead, a tight intelligence barrier was formed.
The Miyoshi family Tanma and Ninja.
"How is the situation ahead!" Yu Qiuping asked in a low voice to Kira Qinzhen, who was leading the army out of the city for a meeting, "Where is Mr. Jiangcun?"
"Lord Emura worked hard to drag Awazu out for a whole day. He broke into the enemy's formation at the Monobe River this morning. He was severely wounded and surrounded, and he committed seppuku." Kira Shinsada whispered to Yu Qiupei with a heavy face, "Before he died, I prayed to the enemy.
His son, Emura Chitoshi-sama, told him to express his gratitude and apology to you. However, Emura Chitoshi-sama was also seriously injured, so I can only convey it to you."
"Lord Jiangcun..." Yu Qiuping recalled the middle-aged samurai and couldn't help but sigh.
"His Royal Highness Hongye is here to support me this time. I really don't know what to say." Kira Qinzhen turned over and dismounted, and bowed deeply in front of Yu Qiuping's horse. Yu Qiuping hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to accept this gift calmly.
It also made him feel more at ease. "I don't know how to repay His Highness, Kira Kinsada. I would like to work as a cow or horse for His Highness Hongye in the next life to repay His Highness's kindness."
"The reason why I came to reinforce is because of your goodwill. There is no need to say this anymore. If we can't defend Gangfeng City, we will go directly to the next life to meet each other." Yu Qiuping joked a few words and jumped off the horse to help him.
Kira Chisada asked, "What are the movements of the Awa people? Where are they now? Why are they not advancing towards Oka Toyo Castle?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know." Kira Qinzhen bowed his hand apologetically, "The ninjas and tanma of the Miyoshi family have blocked the surrounding area, so we can't understand the movements of the Awa people."
"Surprise attack warrior Noble God, Miyoshi Yoshixian will understand this truth. If he didn't rush to Okafeng City immediately, he must have a more important goal." Yu Qiuping's expression gradually became serious, "What's nearby?
Is the stronghold more important than Oka Toyo Castle, the home of the Chosougabe family?"
"Yamada." Kira Okasada gave the answer without hesitation, "The Nagasogabe family has a granary near the Monobe River. They will send grain up the Monobe River to Yamada, and then transport it from Yamada to the mountains in the north.
On the front line, Yamada is our general granary. Once Yamada falls, the supply line will be cut off."
"How far is it from here to Yamada?" Yu Qiuping asked another question.
"About 20 miles to the east. Yamada is located on the top of the mountain on the west bank of the Mononobe River. It can be reached 20 miles east from Oka Toyo Castle." Kira Okasada replied without thinking again.
"Your Highness Kira, are you sure? Is there nothing else to rush?" Yu Qiuping confirmed again.
"I'm sure. If I am Miyoshi Yoshihide, I will definitely attack Yamada." Kira Okazada pointed to his heart, "Yamada is the heart of Chosou's family. Once Yamada is lost, the frontline troops will be out of food, and the frontline troops will be short of food."
The communication with Oka Toyo Castle will also be cut off, and everything will be lost."
