Nobunaga's Bastard

Episode 139: What is the Aim of a Knife?

"Hey, Admiral."

"What's up, Sun Shi? I don't think you and the candlesticks have left the property and come all the way to me."

A slightly grumpy Miyaga Sun Shi arrived at my place, which is lined up in the main temple of Sun Mitsuji, while keeping a diary.

"Are you going to attack me?

That's how Sun Shi replies to the words he said, I nod and attack.

"This is how we built the facility to defend the corner. If they attack me, I will intercept them, but I will not imitate them from here. This battle is not about the annihilation of the enemy. Even if you occupy this land, you will be recognized by the right-hand people and the sub-prime ministers as a sufficient battle."

"I know what you're saying, but we have 3,000 enemies and 10,000 allies. Enough artillery. Even the number of horsemen is higher this way. Avoid fighting in this state."

"I don't care if you're a coward or a warrior, or if you're a coward or not."

Takeda Army Three Thousand was about a mile east of the Shinkoji Temple, forming across the Chikukawa River. I don't see him coming across the river. I'm staring at him.

"Because it is difficult for a rear heavy unit to be attacked, only for that matter I was alert and took the soldiers of the escort as two thousand. I don't have to worry about Sun Shi's men suffering from hunger. Go back to your positions and keep an eye on the enemy soldiers."

When I said conclusively, Sun Shi seemed dissatisfied, or puzzled, and returned to the formation.

"Shinjiro"

Speak to the groom who refrained. Yes. And as always, a short reply from the groom.

"Will this snow that's falling now eventually accumulate?

"I don't know. They also don't mean that the first snow will accumulate as it is. But to look above, the clouds still don't look that thick. Wouldn't it snow that much?"

As the groom put it, the snow stopped the next day on November 20th.

Around Sun Shi's petition, the official guards gave him a plan to intercept and annihilate the enemy soldiers who had followed him once he had gone north and showed him the plot to attack Haruhiyama Castle. Kanosuke also asked me to lend him a temporary soldier because he would lead two thousand soldiers to fight Takeda soldiers. I will not move from here to here in response to both advances. Intercept only enemy attacks. I left this by giving the same explanation as what I gave Sun Shi. Furthermore, when about 500 troops left the Takeda army and showed their plans to attack central Shinano south, they replied, "If the enemy is aiming for Gifu Castle, this is Haruhiyama Castle." It is the form in which we were once allowed to use as is only a change of place name of the words supposedly said by Lord Humble in the fold of the Battle of Kawanakajima. I added Yasuke's troops to Sun Shi's unit to increase the number of escorts for the heavy units, but in the end I did nothing more. And.

"What the hell are you thinking ahead!?

The day I thought there was going to be snow shaking for the third time, Sun Shi barked at the order I gave.

"If it gets snowy, the enemy will pull, so is it that weird that I told you to be ready to withdraw?

"We didn't come here to see you! We're here to kill each other! Are you telling me to convince you to pull up without ever fighting!?

Exactly. And I nodded.

"The enemy fears our 10,000 soldiers and cages them in Haruhi Mountain Castle. We comfort the surrounding residents at the same time as the enemy's withdrawal, and let them know inside and out that Kitano has descended on the Oda family. There was no battle, but this time our kung fu will be the takeover of Kitano. Both the right-hand man and the sub-prime minister should acknowledge it as a kung fu. You don't have to want any more."

Answer pale. Sun Shi shut up and asked me questions with a bewildered look.

"In front of you... you called me here to avenge me, didn't you?

"Revenge? What do you mean?

"Don't be silly. We murdered my stepfather in front of us. It must be like I killed him. You disposed of it physically, and you wanted to kill it. So what?

They said, oh and I nodded. I didn't forget. Almost everyone but me sees why I'm bringing Miscellaneous Sun City and its people this time. He goes to the war zone to give his own kung fu, and brings forward soldiers who don't mind dying. Soldiers are on the front line. Not to mention the miscellaneous people who did not come down, but scattered in the field, seeing that they could not fight at the earliest. I picked this up again, and where I wiped it out, it doesn't hurt or itch. The same is true of Kanosuke Yamanaka and Neiko Seijin, and it would be better for him to rule the West in the future if he died a lot. For this reason, I borrowed one of the cutters from my allies, Tsukuba. With all of it, Bullet Jong-yoon is also nasty. And it's said in the alley.

"Miscellaneous Sun City. How many people were you killed by the Oda family?

"... I've stopped counting everything."

My question made Sun Shi's voice much smaller. I lost someone else, too, besides my stepfather. It was truly hateful that the Miscellaneous crowd turned to the enemy after his father fell into the bullet. In the poorly entangled anti-Oda family coalition, the Miscellaneous crowd was the only one who kept poking through the Oda family steeple from start to finish, not just winning, but clearly looking at how to win. That is, only one Miscellaneous Sun City could have seen it.

"You must be sarcastically resentful. About the Oda family."

Unsurprisingly, no reply was received to the inquiry. The same question was also asked at the first interview I went to see my imprisoned grand city. It's natural then. He said one day he'd shoot them all to death. I am not saying that the Oda family suffered less damage as a result of dealing with the Miscellaneous people, but it is not comparable to the damage suffered by the Miscellaneous people because of the Oda family. Therefore, the resentment is natural, but now Sun Shi doesn't deny it, but doesn't affirm it.

"Me too... I resented it. I hated many enemies, wanted to kill them, and actually came slaughtering many. And every time I regretted it."

I once despised the gatekeepers as' the likes of bugs'. The conclusion that Murai's father told him and reached after the annihilation of Nagashima is that the gatekeepers have always been 'no different from me'.

"Since I lost one wife and started attacking China, I've stopped fighting my enemies with resentment. However, the title" For the Oda Family "has been mentioned every time. No grudges, but for the Oda family. Honorable, but for the Oda family, that's how I defeated many enemies, and I was lucky enough to defeat the West in a short period of time."

The Koji and Kuroda families abandoned to save only one of them. To save the Maori family, many Shimazu and Niko ministers died. At my convenience, many of the truly God-believing trumpets died and were sent to Russon. It's all a casualty of my own. Only those who were convenient to me survived, and those who were inconvenient were killed.

"Earlier, you asked me what I was thinking. Perhaps both Kanosuke and the public guard will be thinking the same thing"

When I looked around, they looked at me in silence, but as if they agreed. The official guard thinks he's here to think of ways to defeat his enemies efficiently, and Kanosuke is here as a dying soldier. But the orders I give you are a strain of Don't Move. Then I would have felt inexplicable as to why I was here now.

"I want you three to live in Tahei. That's what I think."

That's why I brought the three of them here. If you lead 10,000 soldiers against each other and claim to have taken Kitano, you will be recognized as a certain merit. And that certain merit will also be in the hands of the three of us.

"You three are to the Oda family, and those who have driven my life mad the most. I wanted to save them once and for all. I am."

"... are you a Buddha now?

My grand city told me to throw up in my words, and I laughed at those words. That's right.

"My territory has been too big for some time. It was a luxurious situation where there was not enough ministers, even though there was land and people."

Similar situations also include the Haneda Hall. I still have a lot of people called the Oda family, and I was able to use the Oda family members who are having an affair, but there is no such thing as ministers or the Oda family of my ancestors. Many of them are newly invited, although they sometimes seem to be brought from their wives' homes and relatives. This is the case with the official guards.

"I was able to give the ministers who had done everything I could to deserve it, and I made it a satisfactory treatment. Still, the territory that remains, and the men who have become unhappy because of me, and the last battle of the warring nations. Together, they wanted to save people without hurting anyone. Now I realize that God and Buddha will be able to do some imitations."

If it's my position now, it's possible not to save Maori at the expense of another house, not to crush someone for Oda, but to save someone in a way that nobody loses.

"Your words, truly beautiful, let me say something pure. Does Bullet Jung Yoon convince the people around him?

I wasn't expecting the phrase, 'I'm impressed, I swear allegiance to the future heist more than this,' but the public guard was calm nonetheless. You're absolutely right. I can't help but be dissatisfied with my previous ministers and family to achieve self-satisfaction on my own.

"As I said earlier, just because you have increased it does not mean that the ancient ginseng ministers will be cut off their territory. There is no dissatisfaction from the ministers."

"You two would, but a lot of guys would resent me, wouldn't they?

Sun Shi words. The official guard is a man of another house, and a man named Kanosuke Yamanaka is a famous general of misfortune. No one has more grudges than everyone has admiration. However, many people have been killed and resented by their companions and family by Sun Shi Miga, who played a great part in the battle against Oda.

"Rumors are circulating conveniently. Bullet Jong Yoon kneels the grudging bone marrow Miyaga Sun Shi, giving him support and snoring in the territory every day. And I hope you keep making me think so."

Rumors can also be spread using Iga Shinobu. Still, I speak directly to the ministers and the Oda family who express their dissatisfaction with me, and even more so to my father.

"Shinjiro"

I spoke to the groom who was refraining. The groom shook his head to the side and replied that he was paying for it. Nodding, and I bowed my head to the three of them.

"I'm sorry, Lord Sun Shi, Lord Kanosuke, and the Official Guard. There will be resentment and discontent, but I want you to live happily ever after in the new world of Tahei. Please, I want you to abandon your grudges."

Miscellaneous people have regrouped this time and are joining the army on condition of the help of Miscellaneous Sun City. Just keep them as ministers, my little lord. There are many craftsmen among them, even without war. If you let the artillery production wave your arms, you won't be eaten up.

As for the Neko Succession, let the Admiral build a family as Kanosuke Yamanaka. The original conspiracy to make the Niko family the Taishou of Mountain and Yang eleven states, Lord Sukeko St. Niko set up many children. Many of them were sadly killed, but not wiped out, by such things as solemnity in their bodies. I would not complain to the orphans of the Niko family who suddenly appeared if the Oda family would not allow the governor to inherit, but Kanosuke would hire them as ministers. Thus, by being able to marry Kanosuke himself or his sons, Niko's blood can also be left as a small name in the Oda family. Fifty years from now or a hundred years from now, you may also be able to make your family name Niko.

As for Kuroda, I am not worried because Haneda is rescuing my family and taking care of them, but I will reward them for this battle and give them some money. All three of them, of course, were going to get a full job when the battle became inevitable in this battle.

"It's too late now, Bullet Jong-yoon. Over the course of this period, we can't all be friendly and congratulate each other. Even if it's good for you, I can't."

"Is it"

Even myself, it's not always what I think. It has to be just every beautiful thing I can say because I'm in a privileged position on the winning side.

"Sorry, excuse me first. I have to make a commute."

That said, Miscellaneous Sun City left. You didn't work out, and I sigh heavily.

"It will take some time to sum up your feelings. If the same thing had been said to Yoshio Bullet, but to Lord Ogigawa, what would I say now?"

As I meditated, Kanosuke Yamanaka spoke to me.

"It's a short relationship, but Lord Miga is a favorite and well-looked after minister. Sometimes I don't understand how Bullet Jong Yoon feels. This Kanosuke will never forget the overlapping grace."

"As well to the right"

Kanosuke and the official guards all bowed their heads. We both won't be easy enough to comfort you instantly just because you set up one seat in a place like this, but it seems to have convinced you, at least on the surface.

"But Bullet Yoon also dares to take a difficult path."

said the official guard, and laughed. He had a more thornless, softer voice than before.

"I had a problem, but my wife pushed me back"

My late wife, Kyou told me that the moon is equally bright against everyone. I've never heard of resentment from her mouth. The living wife, Hal, troubled me a lot and supported me that I was always on my side. Both of you will admit my difficult and clumsy path in a daze.

"Let's retreat. From the Warring States."

"Good word. Aim is the world of Tahei."

Answering the words of the official guard, Kanosuke laughed at him with good taste.

Starting the next day, we started preparing for a full retreat. Snow is like salad and powder, snow with low moisture content, but the wind made it difficult to check forward. The Takeda army also seemed to have begun to withdraw, and they were already invisible.

So we, me and Lord Kenshin Uesugi, slowly set foot in the final battlefield of the warring nations without noticing each other approaching each other because of the snow blockage.
