Returning to the main camp from Danxia Village, we had to pass through Danxia Village, so we already had a tacit understanding with the Oda family. The Oda family did not go out of the city to intercept Yu Qiuping's Tokiwa Bei. When passing by the Danxia Village camp wall, Yu Qiuping suddenly noticed that the camp wall There is a heroic man in black clothes, with a warrior bun in a haphazard way. Under the two sword-shaped eyebrows are sharp eyes like an eagle, and the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth show the master's demeanor. The latter is looking at the rain playfully. Qiuping's preparations.
"Like this..." Yu Qiuping suddenly had an idea and pulled Maeda Toshiie, "Master Maeda, please accompany me to the entrance of Danxia Village."
"What do you want to do?" Maeda Toshiie glanced at the camp wall and asked nervously.
"Never mind it, come with me quickly." Yu Qiuping hurriedly rode over, and Maeda Toshiie had no choice but to follow.
The people on the camp wall were a little surprised when they noticed Maeda Toshiie and another person running to the east gate of Yanzhai.
I saw Yu Qiuping reining in his horse not far from the door and shouting loudly to the man in black on the camp wall: "Yu Qiuping, may I ask if you are Mr. Odagami Sosuke!"
As soon as this statement came out, both Tokiwa Bei in the distance, Maeda Toshiie beside him, and the Oda army on the camp wall were all shocked.
Mizuno Tadamitsu, who was standing next to Oda Nobunaga, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly prepared to let Oda Nobunaga leave the city. Unexpectedly, Oda Nobunaga chuckled, stepped forward, and said: "It's just Yu."
"Main Hall!" Mizuno Tadamitsu was shocked and said in a low voice: "There are not enough defenders in Danxia Village. If the Imagawa family knows that you are here, I'm afraid a large army will attack!"
"Hmph." Oda Nobunaga snorted disdainfully, ignored Mizuno Tadamitsu's advice, and shouted to Yu Qiupei: "How did you recognize Yu?" Oda Nobunaga did not wear bright clothes today. A, he didn’t put up a horse seal, so he didn’t expect to be recognized at once. Few people in the Imagawa family had seen Oda Nobunaga.
Can I say that you look almost exactly the same as the character in the Koei game "Nobunaga's Ambition"? Yu Qiuping muttered to himself. He had to forcefully explain: "I have seen your portrait before."
"Hahaha..." Oda Nobunaga burst into violent laughter, "Can those ugly portraits that are worse than those of a three-year-old child actually recognize Yu Lai? So, Yuqiu Hongye, what's the purpose of coming here? ?”
"It's not interesting. I have admired the name for a long time. I just hope to be lucky enough to see the face of Sosuke Shang!" Yu Qiuping said with some excitement. Speaking of Japan's Warring States Period, Oda Nobunaga has almost become a business card. Everyone knows it and everyone knows it. No one knows. As a loyal player of "Nobunaga's Ambition", being able to see Oda Nobunaga himself is considered a worthwhile trip! This is why Yu Qiuping rode over anxiously just now. The person beside him Seeing Yu Qiuping's excited look, Maeda Toshiie suddenly felt that it was somewhat similar to the excited look on Yu Qiuping's first meeting with him.
"Daimyo?" Oda Nobunaga sneered, staring at Yu Qiupei with his sharp eyes like a falcon, "But what is the daimyo of that idiot Owari?"
"Haha, no." Yu Qiuping saw that the latter said a few insulting comments about Owari's big fool without hesitation, and felt a little more admiration in his heart. He turned around and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said: He asked Oda Nobunaga and said: "The daimyo I heard about is a famous figure in the Warring States Period." After that, he rode away with the confused Maeda Toshiie.
Oda Nobunaga on the camp wall stared at Yu Qiuping's back, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.
"You kid, I can't understand you more and more." Toshiie Maeda watched Yu Qiuping immersed in excitement and teased, "What do you want to see my lord do then?"
"Maeda-sama is joking, Mr. Shang is a famous person!" Yu Qiuping said excitedly, "If I can meet him in person, this trip will be worthwhile."
"I really don't understand." Maeda Toshiie muttered, "But we are so weird. I am like a boy, and you are like an adult. It feels so subtle."
"You also know. You are a kid at a time." Yu Qiuping glanced sideways at Maeda Toshiie, who refused to call him "sir" ever since they got acquainted with each other. "His Majesty Sena is so generous that he allows you to act like that in a formal occasion.
.”
"Let's do this, let's change one word, and all the problems will be solved." Maeda Toshiie, who was familiar with me, suddenly pinched the horse's belly, and the horse came to Yu Qiuping's side. He stretched out his arm and put it on Yu Qiuping's side.
on the shoulders.
"Don't call me lord, call me big brother! Let's get over it!" Maeda Toshiie laughed loudly.
"I have already recognized a big brother!" Yu Qiuping recalled the scene when Asahina Taehyung forced himself to recognize his eldest brother. It seemed to be somewhat similar. The two eldest brothers also had the same temperament. "I can't recognize him anymore."
There’s only one. That one is Asahina Taehyung-sama.”
"It's okay, we don't meet often anyway," Maeda Toshiie stretched out nonchalantly, "In the Imagawa family, you will call Asahina Taehyung eldest brother. Whenever you go on a mission to the Oda family, you will call me eldest brother."
"Haha, that's okay," Yu Qiuping found that the Maeda Toshi family didn't seem to care about the antagonistic relationship between the two families. He said that the two families were just like neighbors. He felt happy for no reason, so he agreed, "Brother."
"Okay, boy!" Maeda Toshiie said with a satisfied smile.
By the afternoon of February 13, the relief work in the five villages had been basically completed.
"Okay, brother." Yu Qiuping led the troops and left the last village. "It's almost time for us to part ways." Yu Qiuping said sadly, "We are going to prepare to withdraw from the siege."
"Ah? You really have withdrawn the siege!" Maeda Toshiie almost fell off his horse.
"Otherwise?" Yu Qiuping was very surprised when he saw the latter's performance, "Didn't we agree? Don't you always believe that we are going to withdraw from the siege?"
"Of course I don't believe it!" Maeda Toshiie unceremoniously represented everyone, "Everyone in our Oda family doesn't believe it!"
Yu Qiuping glanced at Maeda Toshiie, and after thinking about his new eldest brother's tendency to talk nonsense and talk nonsense, he didn't take his words seriously. However, this at least showed that many people were suspicious.
"Then why are you negotiating with us?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"You help us relieve the people, or let us out of the siege, and we all earn it!" Maeda Toshiie said matter-of-factly, "Why don't you pick up the free penny just because you are worried that you won't make two cents?"
Maeda Toshiie's matter-of-fact tone made Yu Qiuping feel like he was being looked down upon, so he said angrily.
"I, Yu Qiuping, always do what I say," Yu Qiuping looked at Maeda Toshiie firmly, "I will never go back on my word."
"Oh? In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, you will be at a disadvantage." Maeda Toshiie laughed and patted Yu Qiuping on the back, "Don't say that I didn't warn you."
"My parents have taught me this since I was young, I can't let them down, no matter what if I suffer a loss." Yu Qiuping shook his head.
"You kid, you are interesting." Maeda Toshiie smiled and urged his horse to leave, "Well, we will see you later. Next time we meet, we might be enemies!"
"But don't worry, kid," Maeda Toshiie turned around and shouted from a distance, "on the battlefield, if I catch you, I will show mercy! Who am I to call you my little brother!"
On February 16, the Imagawa family completed a series of finishing work, and the army began to return slowly under the leadership of Sena Ujitoshi. When passing Okazaki Castle, an evaluation meeting was held in the main hall of the castle tower. Since Imagawa Yoshimoto was not present,
The meeting can go directly to the main topic without having to hold a morning meeting with palace ministers.
Yu Qiuping once again received a reward for his meritorious service. However, because Yu Qiuping asked for military rations to help people in other countries this time and also released prisoners, many people in his family were dissatisfied with him. Therefore, Yu Qiuping's official position was not promoted again, but only increased.
A fiefdom of two thousand stones.
In the private evaluation meeting at the Yu Qiu family, Yu Qiupei, despite Fukushima Yasunari's private strong refusal, gave the first credit to Gomaezaki Nakahide and the second credit to Yoshioka Katsumasa. The two are still fighting for the credit.
There is still a dispute over the ordering.
On February 23, Yu Qiupei's Tokiwa Bei finally returned to Sunfu. When they were in Tooe, Sena Ujitoshi, Asahina Yasuhiro and Okuhira Sadakichi disbanded their troops one after another, leaving only Yu Qiupei to lead the troops back to Junfu.
On the road, Ame Qiupei could not refuse the warm invitation of Asahina Taehyung, so he also spent a day resting in Kakegawa Castle.
Soon after, Sena Toshiki settled down his territory and rushed over in person, catching up with Uakiuhei's army and planning to report the situation to Imagawa Yoshimoto.
After arriving at Sunfu Castle, Yu Qiuping originally wanted to settle down the army, take a bath, and immediately go to find Imagawa Kaede. Who would have thought that Imagawa Yoshimoto would directly send him back to his territory.
"What if we don't return to the territory after the expedition?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was wiping the chidori incense burner at the time, and without raising his head, he gave Yu Qiuping an order, "The stabilization of the fallen soldiers, spring plowing, the change of uniforms of the troops, the distribution of rewards, the new
Acceptance of the territory, who doesn’t need you?”
Speaking of the burial of the fallen soldiers, Yu Qiuping was a little concerned. This time, only three people were killed. Yu Qiuping also took down all their red leaves, wrote their names, and kept them forever. In the territory, Yu Qiuping also
A small cemetery was opened and stone monuments were erected for the Ashigaru who died in Chiritsu.
"What's the matter, you stay in Junfu and don't want to leave?" Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Qiuping, "Could it be that the girl you like is in Junfu?"
"No, no, no, the main hall is joking!" Yu Qiuping's face suddenly turned red. I don't necessarily want to tell you that I have fallen in love with your daughter, and I should have been in love for life long ago! Yu Qiuping ran away without saying a word.
, Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled meaningfully.
"Go and call Sena-sama." After Uakiuhei left, Imagawa Yoshimoto told his younger brother to call Sena Ujitoshi. After a while, Sena Ujitoshi rushed to Imagawa Yoshimoto's house.
"Didn't you tell me about the war situation and the subsequent relief work in the messenger?" Imagawa Yoshimoto continued to wipe his Chidori Incense Burner carefully until it was spotless. "That child Yuqiu really lived up to my expectations.
, his ability to prepare for war is very high! And he is still kind-hearted, so I was right."
"That's right, Grand Hall." Sena Shitoshi nodded, "That child's future is indeed limitless."
"Then why are you coming here in such a hurry? Are you just waiting outside the door?" Imagawa Yoshimoto said with a smile, "I have approved your use of military rations to help the people. You don't need to apologize. Although most people may have some opinions, but I
I don’t think there’s any problem.”
"After all, I guess you are trying to test the traitor. When it comes to urgency, make the right choice!" Imagawa Yoshimoto's expression suddenly became serious, and he put down the handkerchief in his hand, "So, what's the result?"
