Nobunaga's Bastard

The journey from Kyo to Echimae begins by tracing the course of the Kamogawa River slightly east of your Kyoto location and continuing along the Takano River on the right hand side, divided into two strands.

The direction of the path is roughly northeast, watching the gradual narrowing of the river flow, eventually you can see Mount Bee on your right and Mount Lady on your left. To the north are Yokotakayama, Mizui Mountain, Kimberley Mountain, Oo Mountain, etc. Proceeding to sew through the valleys surrounded by those mountains, you head out into the plains of the mountains that make up the Great Plains of Mountain Castle. With 30,000 large armies, some of the rear armies will stay here overnight, and the majority of the soldiers will continue to march further.

Once again we enter the mountains and continue northeast, often dividing the armies along the clicks of the mountains. Troops proceeding straight through the mountains proceed to Decaying Tree Valley, ruled by the people of the country known as the Seven Heads of Takashima. The army I belong to will change direction east and head out to the West Bank of Biwako. It's convenient to march here for more than five minutes. The first day I stayed here overnight.

The next day we'll even head north on the west bank of Lake Biwa. Easier to walk and faster to march than yesterday if you flatten out. He went out to the wide plains of the west bank of Lake Biwako, ruled by seven Takashima heads, and was greeted by seven heads. I'm not subordinate to my father, but I don't resist 30,000 soldiers. At the time of the renovation, all seven heads were on their faces, and the public seemed to have given them words. All will have to become ministers to my father if this attack on Asakura ends at the top. They are also desperate for survival, saying that they cannot be badly impressed by either the Morning Court, Shogun or Oda. He lent me an overnight lodging in the army and entertained me. The army headed for Decaying Wood Valley will also rendezvous here, some as they go northwest, aiming for a young, narrow beach. No attack, retreat if intercepted. The aim is only to exert pressure.

"Aren't you tired of marching?

On the third day after leaving Takashima County and reaching the northern shore of Lake Biwako, my father pulled up a horse and spoke to me.

"This, my lord."

I bowed my head on the horse and took the form of a line a little behind my father. Look at that, make sure my father doesn't get stuck. I guess you wanted me to call you Father. I know how it feels to be a lonely and troubled person, but I can't do that. There are many ministers around. Officially, I'm not my earliest son. My father won't admit it.

"Due to His Majesty's prestige, there won't even be skirmishes on the road. I was able to sleep in a mansion with a roof for two nights, so I knew that my body was not tired and that I would not have to fall behind in the attack on Asakura."

Don't gaze at me, keep your head down. My father snorted furiously as though he was even more bored. Kids or this guy. No, I'm a parent.

"... Did Father enjoy his voyage?

I heard that whispering because I had no choice. As soon as I do, my father's face looses.

"Fair enough. It can't be wider than the ocean, but the difference is that the water is not salty."

"On your left."

My father sailed north on Biwako in this battle with a few recent moves. Heavy ministers disagreed with what they would do if they were attacked by lake thieves or something, and while they were leaving Kyo at the end of the day, they were the first to arrive on the north bank of Lake Biwa.

"I was free, so I thought I'd go visit my brother in Kotani, but it's annoying to the third left, and I stopped this time."

"That's too much fun."

I answered with a laugh. Though I answered, I sympathized with Lord Kasei that if I really wanted to go play, I would likely go no matter whose opposition I had.

"Seems to be moving around a lot, but the tail is good?

I was abruptly changed as I was moving on with my horse while listening to my father talk about siblings and such for a while. What's it about? I'm not so bad of a conjecture as to ask.

"I just want to say it's good, but it's true that I don't get it"

I'm doing everything I thought I had to do. I also intend to have taken what seems to be the most effective way. But I can't say enough that this makes no mistake.

"Isn't that unusual? You always have the face that you're right."

"I don't remember ever putting on such a face. In a young man of sixteen years."

Kekke, my father laughs. Because of my mother, even I can use Kamikaze with the incarnation of Inari. It's a heavy load that makes me think so.

"Anyway, the public speaks to the people around us. There is no one to say anything unnecessary while we are away from Kyo. I think."

I talked to the Monochrome Fujita, as well as to the Mibuchi Fujiyoshi. Lord Fujikata was delighted to see the sword from Ozhang, the Great and the Little Hippocampus. Lord Fujiyoshi convinced me that he was' reasonable 'at the stage of the conversation. During the march, I also talked to Ujimiya Wada. The ruling palace of the Martial Arts is not a bad compromise with my father originally. No Tabernacle has yet solicited a decisive distrust of the Oda family.

"I do not intend to step in consideration of the public. But I'm not going to rule it out unless the public gets in the way. Is that okay with you?

"Good. General Ankley's authority is still worth using. It's kind of hard to handle."

"What about after you've conquered the Japanese book? It will no longer be worth using."

"It's not worth using by then, but it's not dangerous. I'll give you support somewhere by saying it's under the general's direct jurisdiction. If you need anything, I'll make it convenient."

"I appreciate the offer, but if Goro Saburo's father-in-law and Murai's father-in-law say the same, I know that I still have nothing to ask you to do."

"............... right"

"Since my mother was about to have a son, Goro Saburo, how often do you still have one? If you want to see your grandson, don't hesitate to take care of him. When I came to Kyo, Murai's father helped me with various hand-wounds. The Murai family is close to their sons and daughters, as are their parents in Kyo."

"You are."

When we were talking about it with the intention of saying there was no need to worry, the words were blocked. Seeing what happened to my father because he had a low voice, I was in a surprising mood.

You call them father-in-law or uncle.

That's all I'm saying, Father, stare at me and then leave. Continue to pull me out and advance the horse. The shortsighteds are frowning and looking in trouble.

"What a troublesome father he is."

I was old enough to be jealous, but I sighed on my horse.

"It's hard to breathe."

That night. Speaking depending on the matter, the Great Saint of Simultaneous Heaven laughed joyfully and sipped the wheat porridge.

"No, I'm just sorry if I'm not the best, my lord, rather than adoring me."

As I say, I sip porridge too. Fire is cooked there, and the whole mountain is bright. If anyone sees from afar, for example, the Echinas will see if they have finally arrived. Or are you frightened of the army?

"That may be true, but parents have to take care of it. Because of my parents, I eat something as delicious as it is now."

"It's my mother who's eating this delicious porridge."

The wheat porridge we are eating right now is simple with the addition of mountain vegetables, a little dried meat, etc., but when I add the solid I brought here, it will taste good as soon as possible. The dried shiitake mushrooms, bonito noodles, salt and miso, etc. were powdered and then hardened, and my mother said it was the best all-purpose flavoring seasoning I could do in this era.

"Isn't the mother the most thankful parent? No matter how many men are born, they all come from their mothers' crotches. No one was born from the crotch of a tree alone."

"It's convincing, His Highness says."

Saitan Daisheng is best known for his name as the Oda family's appearance, but he is also quite famous for his mother's thoughtful son. She admires Kazaka-sama and is still handing herself persimmons to eat and rubbing her shoulders.

"Master Bandage"

"Oh, I did. I'm sorry. I don't care about that. Tomorrow we will reach Tsuruga County, Asakura territory. I'm talking about what we should do with the vanguard."

Jinglian told me and I returned to the conversation. Beyond the mountains further north from the northern shore of Lake Biwa, it is already Tsuruga. Kinkesaki Castle is close.

"One hand attacking Mount Tianbin first. Drop Mt. Tenjutsu, southeast of Kinkesaki Castle, and you can see Kinkesaki Castle in the same position you already have."

Says a fine-faced man who is going to be a woman as it is if he puts on his small sleeves. He was easy to hear and a singing voice.

"Jingheng Asakura is the guardian of Kinkesaki Castle. He was the guardian of Asakura when he went to Gifu to rely on his lord, as far as Yoshiki Asakura was concerned. In the following month, Yoshijing's life led to his invasion of the Young Narrow Country, capturing Takeda Motomori, the master of the Young Narrow Takeda family, and taking him to the Square Valley. It can be said that the young Takeda family is a useful actor who belongs to Asakura."

"The boulders are famous Asakura, and the grains are gathered together. I don't have any groceries."

Said the Great Sage of Symtien. In this battle, the allies are 30,000 large armies, but they can't put the public on the front line, and they also cared about the Kinai forces and left the hindsight to them. In that case, the direct soldiers of the Oda family will naturally dominate. Among them, the Great Saints of Symtien and the Right Guard Palace, his uncle, the Immediate Government Palace, and the Ten Soldiers Palace were to command more than 2,000 to 3,000 soldiers each as operational commanders. Kwon Liu Hall and Kasei Mori, the elders, refrain from doing so behind them. The vanguard alone is already around 10,000, I think it's the big army again.

My soldier, 600, was incorporated into the ranks of the great saints of the same heavens. Eight hundred soldiers are led by the Great Sage of Symtien himself. He has also led more than two thousand soldiers in the attack on Kannonji Castle, and has already proven himself to be an excellent commander.

"No, Master Fujiyoro, it's in the miscellaneous fish."

A fine man says to the Great Sage of Simultaneous Heaven. Beside Saitan Daishi, there are faces such as Koichiro Hall, Furugina Hisumuga Koji, and Changkang Maeno, but no one says anything. I can't tell you, because that's how big it is.

"There is no movement of reinforcements to Jingheng in the Asakura Army. Perhaps we should abandon Tsuruga County and try to intercept it in Kinobu, a narrow, defensive terrain."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, why do you imitate like abandoning your ally Jingheng Temple? Asakura can also send out more than 20,000 soldiers. I think it would be better to fight back in conjunction with Kinkesaki Castle."

"To observe, there are those who, out of a sequence feud in the house, delay their support for Jingheng. Jingheng is the head of Tsuruga County. Our Lord Yoshiko Asakura does not trust this, and moreover, the Asakura Landscape Mirror does not necessarily have a good relationship with our doctrinal landscape. If you are pulled by a fool who gives precedence to your inner companionship over the crisis of your home, you are no stranger to any famous general."

Hearing the water's tongue on the stand, they all shut up for a while. And as he blew it, the Great Sage of Simultaneous Heaven grinned, and the boulder rejoiced with the Half Soldier's Palace.

"Now, with the army of the Honorable Peacock Takenaka Hanbei Shigeji, this battle is sure to be a great victory, everyone."

"Let's see what we can do to get rid of the key tendril mountain."

After everyone snorted at the words of Sacred Heaven, I asked the question. They call the castle of Tianbin Mountain Castle, there are certainly guards in this Tianbin Mountain Castle as well.

"End it with one quick fight. Proceed without reinforcements, and march with 30,000 martial authority, and that alone frightens the castle soldiers. As the big army says with no measures, you only need to attack as soon as possible after that. If you leave one escape route to Kinkesaki Castle and surround it, the enemy will escape without a fight."

"I hope it's easy."

I found the tone a little harsher, but still couldn't stop me from being a disgusting way of saying it. I really don't care about this guy's tone and attitude. I know it's clever, but it's a nose to use the word "foolish" or "foolish" for people who climb into your mouth.

It doesn't make sense if you don't understand what's hard to say.

I almost got a tongue punch. Hanbei Takenaka, Shigeji Takenaka, ran away after the demise of the Saito family, and was bought the tactics to serve the Asai family, but quit in a year, this time hired by my father. Naoto-sen Oda is positionally the same as me, but he's essentially here as a power of the Great Sage of Simultaneous Heaven. In fact, we treat the matter of the Great Sacred Heaven like the Lord. But be disrespectful to the others.

"The sword, Lord Koron, will not be forced into the first place, and if there is anything in you, you will not be able to face him or Lord Mori."

There is no way that Saitan Daisheng, who is bright enough to ask people about their complexion, has not noticed my displeasure. But it is, so I said to us in the first line in a brighter voice than usual.

"Don't worry. Awkward first line is working more than anyone else in existence."

Kolong, who leads by renting 500 soldiers from his father, Lord Kocheng. It has such a flair as a fine young martial artist in a little while. The spear fits and looks strong to see.

"... six hundred of our team will obey His Royal Highness Ki's knowledge. I don't even think I can command a certain immature person, but I will study this time."

"Fine. There are no incompetent commanders who don't know who they are and who only talk to them. Lord Bandage has an intelligence that doesn't."

Hanbei Takenaka told me. I didn't say I would obey you.

"If the military council still has porridge, please eat it as you please."

Again, in a bright voice, Saitan Daisheng said, and I just stirred up the porridge and decided to leave the place. Beesuga Koyuki and Nagakang Maeno are about to eat two or three cups. Hanbei Takenaka ended up eating about two pounds with a spoon. I don't care about that either. I just realized that maybe I don't like guys with thin food.

I decided to get away from the line and see the moon peeking through the mountains. It was the third moon and it didn't look so beautiful, but it still calms me down to see the moon.

Thinking about Hanbei Takenaka, and the Asai family. Three thousand pieces. The Asai family was paying Shigeji Takenaka Hanbei. If you look at many stone heights in the Asai family, 150,000 stones, and the consistency is two stones, the stone height of Hanbei Takenaka is 6,000, or 9,000 if it's three stones. How many of those names are now Peacock, and is it really possible to hold a wanderer as a minister with so much good treatment?

"You can't read."

What did the Asai family think and hire Hanbei Takenaka in? And why did Hanbei Takenaka quit treating him so well?

"It would be nice to consider why the Asai family, rather than who in the Asai family, craved Seiji Takenaka"

I was called from behind. A voice with a good ear feel, but one I don't want to hear right now.

"... do you even have the secret art of reading minds? Lord Takenaka."

"Please call me Half Soldier. I can't read my mind or anything. Earlier, I was looking at something strange, so I imagined what Lord Bandage would wonder."

"If that's all you have to say about the right answer, it's no different than reading."

"I can't help it. 'Cause you're smarter than people."

I don't deny it, but I'm angry. Don't look like Almighty.

"Whoever in the Asai family claims to have three thousand pieces of work in the Asai family to get people, etc..."

"Yes, there are two of you."

When I realized it, I was told between them as if I had weighed them.

"As you know, one of the two of you is close to the Oda family and the other is alert to the Oda family. Which way did this Takenaka Hanbei Shigeji serve, and why he ran, and given that, let's get closer to the answer."

"Even if I don't do such a roundabout, should I give you an answer now?

"Do you trust the words of half a soldier?

"Sein."

Kusha, Hanbei Takenaka grinned with a faint face. Don't raise your voice, but it's a full laugh. It's just beautiful to look good, and at the same time it's disastrous.

"I'm still young, I can think of things in a variety of ways, but I'd appreciate it. Whether the answer is right or not, thinking is not in vain."

That being said, Hanbei Takenaka returned to a line of underneath the trees again.

"Are you really Zhuge Fengming? Or are you friends with Shima?

I shrugged in the void. I didn't hear back.

The next day, in the battle to take Mount Tianbin, we moved as instructed by Hanbei Takenaka and took Mount Tianbin Castle. I was handled in the first place, and Shinzhong Oda's troops were praised for their work. The first of the handkerchiefs in Yamagata was the Mori Kolong Squad. Koron took the enemy's neck while in his first line, boarded himself into the castle, and struck a running enemy soldier's flowing arrow, killing him in battle.
