After half an hour, Kanematsu Masakichi sent a messenger to report the situation to Amakihei. After all the Red Leaves Army left Yamada, Miyoshi Nagaharu's troops attacked the empty Yamada. There were only a few Choso Gabu family left behind in Yamada.
The soldiers were unable to resist at all, and were easily defeated by the Awa Zhong, and Yamada changed hands.
"How is it possible?" Yu Qiuping was shocked when he heard this. He almost jumped off his horse in shock, "You said it was Miyoshi Changzhi's troops."
"Yes." The ordering soldier lowered his head and responded, "They are the troops of Sanhao Changzhi."
"But weren't Miyoshi Choji's troops defeated by us before? I even specially arranged a platoon of cavalry to chase Miyoshi Choji and drive him and his Hatamoto warriors away to the east." Yu Qiuping said while raising his finger.
Heading to the east, "His horse prints were being chased so hard that he couldn't hold back, so there was no chance of gathering his skirmishers."
"It was Hosokawa Shinyuki's flag, but the troops were defeated by Miyoshi Nagaharu." The messenger himself was very confused, but he still recounted the situation truthfully, "Maybe Hosokawa Shinyuki, after his own troops were routed,
He went around to the other side of the battlefield and gathered some of Miyoshi Nagaharu's stragglers, then turned around and attacked Yamada."
"What?" Yu Qiuping was even more surprised when he heard this. "In the face of danger, you should not panic, gather friendly troops, and attack in a counterattack. Why haven't I heard that there is such a person under Miyoshi Yoshihide? Who is Hosokawa Shinyuki?"
"Sir Amano seems to have specifically investigated this person's identity before, and sent several people to monitor him, trying to get in touch with him to instigate him to rebel." Fukuzawa Yunan responded in a low voice from the side, "This person is the former Awa guardian agent.
The son of Kawamochi Takashi and Mrs. Okamoto. Later, Miyoshi Yoshihide murdered Hosokawa Mochitaka, occupied Mrs. Okamoto, adopted Hosokawa Shinyuki as his adopted son, and controlled Awa Country as a puppet. But Hosokawa Shinyuki was against Miyoshi Yoshikawa.
Xian is very respectful and filial, so he was entrusted with a certain amount of land and army. However, his identity has made him unable to gain the trust and recognition of everyone in the Miyoshi family. Lord Amano believes that he must have a deep hatred for the Miyoshi family.
You can make good use of it.”
"With this kind of experience, it's no wonder that Quan Bingwei wants to investigate and incite rebellion." Yu Qiuping frowned and nodded slightly, "If he can have such a tolerant nature and obey the orders of the enemy who killed his father, I'm afraid his talents are not inferior to Gou Jian's.
.”
"Then what's going on with all this grain?" Yu Qiuping pointed to the Monobu River filled with grain in front of him.
"After Masayuki Hosokawa captured Yamada, he did not try to move the grain. Instead, he asked everyone to swarm all the grain that could be seen and moved into the Monobe River. Many grain bags sank directly, and
Many of them were washed down by the current." The messenger pointed to the grain on the Monobe River and reported to Ame Qiupei, "Kanematsu-sama immediately launched an attack after arriving at Yamada. Although Hosokawa Shinyuki gathered the troops, it was obvious that their organization and morale were poor.
They have not been able to recover and cannot form resistance. It is estimated that Yamada has been recovered during the time when I rode here."
"Then how much of this grain was dumped into the Monobe River?" Yu Qiuping was not at all happy about the recovery of Yamada, but asked worriedly.
"I don't know. But I guess it's quite a lot, probably more than 50%. The grains were originally piled by the river, and a lot of them were thrown down by the Awa people." After hesitating for a moment, the ordering soldier replied with some frustration.
"This Hosokawa Shinyuki is really not simple." Yu Qiuping swallowed and felt a faint cold sweat on his back. "He knew that his remnant soldiers would not be able to defend Yamada even if they captured it, so he made a decisive decision and started to attack
The food made a fuss. And he also knew that his small number of people didn't have time to move much food, so he dumped all the food into the river."
"But what's the use of pouring it into the river?" Changzhou Zhenzhen, who was following Yu Qiuping, smiled puzzledly, "Do you want to feed the fish?"
"No, they can fish it up." Yu Qiuping raised his hand and pointed slowly from the upper reaches of the Monobe River to the lower reaches, "They poured the grain into the river from the upper reaches and floated it down the Monobe River and outflowed the Haikou Awaji Navy directly.
Just intercept those grains."
"But there is still a lot of food that has sunk to the bottom. How much can the Awaji navy intercept?" Nagasu Sadazumi shrugged nonchalantly.
"Even if it sinks to the bottom of the water, the food will still be theirs, not ours." Yu Qiuping shook his head, "His Royal Highness Changzong is retreating from the front line, and Sanhao Changqing's 20,000-strong army will arrive soon.
, this battlefield will definitely be occupied by the Miyoshi family. At that time, they will only have to salvage the food that has sunk to the bottom of the river on both sides of the river, and the Monobe River is not deep anyway."
"Anyway, we have enough food. We have brought a lot of food with us. There is also a lot of food in Okafeng City." Maeda Keiji said with a smile on the side, "I can't finish the food no matter what, and I can also make wine to drink."
"We are enough, but the Sanhao family is not enough." Yu Qiuping shook his head with a wry smile, and glanced around all his dumbfounded subordinates, "All we had hoped for before was that the Sanhao family had run out of food, so we could go back to the autumn harvest.
Retreat. But if the Sanhao family got this grain, why would they retreat?"
The subsequent development of the situation completely confirmed Yu Qiuping's inference. News came from Yoshioka Shengzheng that the 1,000 soldiers and 1,000 auxiliary soldiers crossing the river in Awa had stopped advancing towards Gangfeng City not long ago. According to Yu Qiuping
It is speculated that after they got the news that Hosokawa Shinyuki threw grain into the Monobe River, they were not in a hurry to risk attacking Oka Toyo Castle. They turned eastward and came to the west bank of the lower reaches of the Monobe River. It seemed that they wanted to
We must stop the Yuqiu family from salvaging food.
"What should we do? Is there anything we can do?" Yu Qiupei arranged for some auxiliary troops to cross the Monobe River to help Yoshioka Katsumasa set up camp. He also watched the Awa soldiers of Miyoshi Yoshihide's Awa troops at the water fortress set up by the Awaji Navy in the south collapse.
They all fled in. The Awa Zhong and the Awaji Navy on the east bank of the Monobe River were covering each other, and they would not be able to defeat them for a while. The 1,000 soldiers on the west bank of the Monobe River also set up camp, relying on the water fort of the Awaji Navy.
Gang Shengzheng also had nothing to do with them.
As soon as Miyoshi Changqing's army arrived, Yu Qiuping had no choice but to retreat to Gangfeng City.
"Maybe we can poison the Mononobe River." Fukuzawa Yunan made a suggestion without blushing or heartbeat.
"Are you poisonous?" Yu Qiuping asked with a wry smile, "Where can I get poison?"
"If Amano-sama is not here, we can't even find the poison." Maeda Keiji couldn't help but joked from the side, "If Amano-sama were here, we could have 10,000 ways to kill those guys from the Miyoshi family."
"Can't you say something useful? If Kyoubei was here, would we still be in this situation?" Yu Qiupei patted Maeda Keiji's waist angrily, "If you can't think of a way, just
shut your mouth"
"There is a way, but it's probably useless. It's just disgusting to the Miyoshi family." Maeda Keiji pretended to smile mysteriously, "I just don't know if His Highness is willing to use it."
"Oh, you pig brain can actually come up with a solution." Yu Qiuping laughed loudly when he heard this, "Go on, just say it, you can find any solution."
So, half an hour later, Yu Qiuping strode to the edge of the Monobe River, with his back to his army, and facing Yoshioka Katsumasa's Rangers on the other side of the river, he unbuttoned his pants and took off his clothes in two or two
outer trousers.
On the other side of the river, Yoshioka Katsumasa and Rakihara Bei were cheering excitedly, watching as Yu Qiuping took off his underwear, then pointed at the Monobe River in a cool way, and freely peeed all the yellow urine that had been held in for a long time.
Go in.
Yu Qiuping packed up his things, put on his pants, patted his butt, and gestured to his subordinates, which immediately aroused cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami. Immediately afterwards, each company of soldiers and auxiliary soldiers came to the company commander
, led by the platoon leader and squad leader, they walked to the Monobe River one by one and peed in it. Some ashigaru could just hold back a piece of shit and pooped it into the Monobe River, and they would immediately enjoy the treatment of combat heroes.
Like cheers.
The Monobe River, which was originally filled with food and was white, soon turned yellow with urine and feces flowing across it. The pungent smell made the Red Leaf Army on both sides almost unable to stand. Until all
By the time Ashigaru was done, the entire Monobe River could hardly be seen with the naked eye, and it smelled worse than the smelliest trash can that Yu Qiupei had ever smelled before.
Yu Qiuping, with his thousands of people, committed a crime that made future generations of environmentalists heartbroken. This was also one of the few black spots in Yu Qiu Hongye's legendary life. However, because of his good reputation, this became more of a
It became a joke for everyone after dinner. The common saying of "Shang Hongye" referring to open defecation in East Asia comes from this allusion of Yu Qiupei. However, many people in later generations pointed out that Yu Qiupei did not poison the Monobe River.
It's just defecating everywhere, which is actually a sign of this benevolent person's kind heart.
"I want to see if those Miyoshi people are still eating." On the way back to Yamada, Asahina Matsuchiyo couldn't stop laughing when he thought of this, "This is really shit, hahahahaha
Haha, I don’t think they can swallow the food mixed with feces and urine.”
"I'll still eat when I should, and maybe Miyoshi Yixian will take the lead in eating to boost morale." Yu Qiuping was not so optimistic. He shook his head and said, "This is a major event in a dangerous war. How could it happen because we went there?"
I just hope that this move can shake the morale of the Miyoshi Army and cause them to complain in the army. Or because they eat unclean food, an epidemic will break out in their army.
The sick soldiers cannot participate in the battle, so it would be good to reduce our pressure."
"Next, we will divide our forces to defend Yamada and Oka Toyo Castle, and wait for the army of His Highness Chosouga to return to Oka Toyo Castle. I have ordered the brewers of Urato Castle to find a way to delay the eastward march of the Sanukis.
Speed ​​up and buy time for His Highness Chosou's troops to withdraw. As soon as His Highness Chosou's troops arrive, we will abandon Yamada and all troops will return to Oka Toyo Castle to garrison."
"But Your Highness, if the Miyoshi family is really not short of food, what hope do we have of defending the city?" Yunan Fukuzawa couldn't help but remind him, "At this moment, we still have a chance to withdraw from Urado Castle."
"Forget it, don't think about that. I have promised His Highness Kira, and the late Lord Jiangcun and Lord Jiuwu, that I will come to save the Changzong family." Yu Qiuping shook his head again, turned around, and said to himself
He smiled to himself and said, "I, Yuqiu Hongye, always do what I say."
"Besides, this is a city guarded by our Red Leaf Army. Even if the food is enough, can they defeat it? But we can't forget our name just because we were deceived in Tosa. That's Sanyoshichang."
Qing said it himself." Yu Qiuping laughed and stood up on the horse in the stirrups, snapped his fingers in the direction of Gangfeng City, and said loudly and confidently
"Yuqiu Art of War, Absolute Defense"
