Former Turtle II (1574), early January, Hachigi Castle, Hachima-cho, Hachima-cho, Fusheng County, Omijiang
During the calendar of Hachinojo Castle, there was me and Kurono Reizo and Kamato Shimoshino in the room where I paid for them. Avoid listening to others. Earlier in the New Year, it was just after New Year's Eve sunset, but I was skilful looking at each other. Soothing, really soothing.
"So?"
"Minister Akai, Taro Ashida has offered to go back to sleep."
"Definitely, Heavy Zone"
"Definitely"
That's a confident look. Akai's leading minister, Akechi Tenbui, would also be pleased to speak of Ashida Jiro Tao. Shoguno Shimono also has a satisfying look on his face, like a cat who ate a full stomach.
"So, what about Watano?
"Ayabe Castle's Hyogoto Eda, Kiyojiro Onoki of Tano Castle, and Suchi Lord Suchi Mizuki of Suchi Castle are here"
"Have you turned around?"
"Ha."
I couldn't help but laugh. Eda, Onoki, Suchi, all known in the Hatano family. Leading ministers began to spot Hatano. So far.
"Don't be alarmed"
Heavy storage has a harsh look on its face. Shogun Shimono nodded beside him.
"There have been reports from Eda and Onoki that Hatano's sneaks are targeting Miyagi."
"Are you sure?
Heavy zoo nodded. It's cold, my neck is cold.
"You know better than anyone that he's dangerous."
"Well, I'm dying."
I really thought he was dead then. Heavy Zoe says she feels responsible and wants to hide away. Of course I won't tolerate that. My grandson's opponent says it's still early and refuses. Heavy Zao has been a bad friend since he was a little girl. To me, he's like a relative like Goro Weimen and Shinjiro. Let go.
"Let's aim for both of them, perhaps even this Omi. Never be alarmed. No matter how much the escort cares, there is no point in your being cautious. Let's lose our lives."
Shoguno Shimono nodded at Heavy Zone's words.
"Lord Reizo is right, Mr. Oyato. Your style is not alarming, but you must be more careful than ever."
"Shimogami Shimono, did the same thing happen to Hex?
Shoguno Shimono nodded loudly, as he deserved.
"Naturally. Even if you just know something, Dear Administrator, Dear Seung-Joon, I have been targeted for your destiny several times. I wonder if the Koga people's trust was one factor in preventing it."
"I see. Okay, let's be careful."
Heavy zo, Shoguno Shimono nodded with a harsh look. Speaking of which, hex didn't aim for my life. There will also be reasons for daughter-in-law Xiao Night at an early point. But Seung Joon not only thought it was worth using about me, but maybe he liked it. Well, I didn't hate that guy either. Compared to the director of the right guard, we've been able to talk for as long as we can.... Don't compare too low.
"Has there been any movement in Kyo?
"As always, we have sent messengers to Uesugi, Oda, Imagawa, Hojo, and Takeda, but these days we have frequently sent messengers to Maori. And to Otomo, Ryuji Temple, Shimazu."
"Otomo, Ryuji Temple and Shimazu"
"Ha."
I see, did you see that the bonds between Decaying Wood, Oda and Uesugi are stiff in the east? You just have to keep in touch, that's the place.
"Master Oyato, what is the public's aim?
"You must be moving Maori, Reizo. I think Maori and Otomo are trying to reconcile. Hit the decaying tree with Maori, who eliminated his hindsight worries. But when it didn't work out, I saw that I was going to beat the Dragon Temple, Shimazu, to Otomo."
That's one look you're both not coming to pin right now. Shimazu is in the middle of a battle with Ito in Hitachi. Otomo and I do not deal directly with the territory. However, the battle between Shimazu and Ito is becoming advantageous on the part of Shimazu. If Shimazu eats Ito, Shimazu will begin to border the territory with Otomo.
And Ryuzukuji Temple is formally subordinated to Uedami, but in fact it is equal to being independent. It is gradually eroding Otomo's sphere of power. When Otomo was at the end of the war, he became disadvantaged and was driven until he asked Toyotomi, the central Oda, to save him, because he was attacked in a way that was besieged by the three Maori, Shimadzu and Ryubukuji temples. Behind it is the presence of Yoshiaki, who tried to use Maori for the Battle of Upper Lo.
"Any other moves?
When I asked, Heavy Zone nodded.
"It's Tokaido, but Oda is pushing it. Imagawa has been pushed, and Imagawa forces in Migawa are gradually changing their flag to Oda."
"Right."
"Dear Mr. Yakuza, if there's a flow, we'll move all at once."
Shoguno Shimono sees the situation in Tokaido as drastically changing. I agree. Oda is marching to the West Three Rivers in small pieces. A soldier hired with money has the advantage that it does not depend on the agricultural breeding season, but one advantage is that it starts quickly. Imagawa can't handle it. It seems that Imawa forces in the painful Western Three Rivers gradually began to see through Imawa. The movement of this hand accelerates at once as soon as it begins, as Shoguno Shimono says. But I don't think Imagawa will overlook it. How do we prevent it?
"What's the move on this river? I'm not watching you in silence."
"We frequently send messengers to Takeda and Hojo if you want. Looks like they're asking for reinforcements to fight Oda."
"Right. But Takeda, Hojo also has enemies. I'd say reinforcements."
Duplicated in my words, Shoguno Shimono nodded. Reinforcements have to become a minority. How far can you go against Oda?
But Tokugawa...
"Tokugawa?
"He's very dissatisfied."
"Disgruntled?"
Heavy zoo nodded. I met Shoguno Shimono face-to-face. Shoguno Shimono is surprised.
"We're in a lot of trouble with Oda's troopers."
"I see, right"
Oda has a commercial zone. But Tokugawa's three rivers are rural. It is difficult to hire soldiers with money. In short, they are as exhausted as their enemies because they are burdening the civilian soldiers. Do you realize Nobunaga is unhappy with Mitsugawa? If you realize it, you should think about fighting without the Mitsugawa soldiers. But is it possible to fight without the Three Rivers? There will be no military problems. But the quality of the soldiers is problematic. The presence of the few but powerful Mitsugawa soldiers is significant. When Yoshiwon Imagawa was alive, Migawa soldiers were often said to be at the forefront, not least because they were at the forefront. They bought that strength.
"Do you think Tokugawa of Mitsugawa will fall back on Imagawa?
"No, Shimono, that won't be possible. Whatever you say, Tokugawa is turning down the river's blood once and for all. I can't turn around now. Even if you go back to sleep, Imagawa might use it to fight against Oda, but after that..."
When I shook my head, Shimono nodded. Heavy zoo is also nodding. Tokugawa can't go back to sleep, which is probably why Oda is also making it impossible. I gave instructions to Heavy Zone not to take his eyes off the motion of Tokaido. Now, what happens......
I heard noise in the distance. It's the voice of a man who stops and the voice of a woman who says, "Get out of the way." Is the woman's voice a little night? He looks like he has trouble keeping Shimozo and Shimono. Right, your husband's wife can't even yell at you. Tough here...... A little night came into my room.
"Dear Mr. Oyato!
"Little night, I'm talking to you right now. Refrain,...?
I almost said I would go later, but I could see the night shaking my neck vigorously beside me. What's going on?
"Not quite. Master Yidong Sanshi of Kyoto..."
"Lord Migoro!
"Mother."
Aya Mama came in. Heavy zo and Shimono Shogun flattened out in panic. You looked annoying when you were little at night, but these guys are Aya Mama's fans, too.
"Master Kyou is in danger, I just got a sentence from my brother."
"Okay, let's take the boat to Otsu. Then take the road to Kyo. Do your duty as soon as possible."
"Okay."
"Little night, I ask you to stay away. Takenaka Maru is a man, I'll take him with me, so get ready."
When I was about to ask for it, “Master Oyato” and Heavy Zo pinched my mouth.
"What's up, Heavy Zone?"
"Kyo is not always safe. I was wondering if it would be better to stop Takenagamaru-sama's journey."
"I agree with you, Lord Reizo."
"... right, I don't have a position if I have to go, but Takenaka Maru is still young, for a reason. Let's leave it here. You noticed so well."
When they labored, they bowed their heads.
You two are right. Even the Bamboo Maru is young, even younger under it. You two can't just go to Kyoto and be lucky enough to get killed. It could turn out to be a weird part of the Decaying Wood Edition Honneng Temple. You need to be very careful.
"Let's send out a messenger to Shinjiro Miyagawa, Hachigamen Otsu, so that he can move his soldiers at any time. I will lead a thousand soldiers to the capital."
Heavy zo and Shimono Shosho nodded.
"Dear Mr. Oyato, this is a verse from People's Day."
He has the look of having trouble with his little night. Person-day verses? I see.
"Nengxing has been canceled. Apologize to Toshimanji."
"Yes."
"I'm going to call it off at this convenience, so please keep your money. And at New Year's Eve, please do me a favor, and look forward to it."
I nodded when I said "OK” for the night.
Is it okay if Hitoi's grandfather is here? He was pretty weak. I thought I couldn't get past the age but it was outrageous, or I thought it would continue like this... Well, Grandpa became an associate minister, and he couldn't make his grandson an emperor, but he could make his grandson an heir to the Prince's house. Either way, an emperor may be born from the Takeda Miyagi family. Don't meditate on it.... well, you weren't dead yet...

"Don't make it."
When I moaned, Sanzugamen Ishikawa and Goro Miscellaneous snorted.
"I didn't know Torii's grandfather was in danger..."
"There are times when weighing doesn't work. Major General Omi seems to be the owner of strong luck. Then I blamed this trick."
Sanzugamen, Goro Soldier sighed. If you think about strong luck or what happened in Tampa, you can certainly say strong luck.
"You're like a mud or an eel. Run away with null."
Two people laughed at my words.
"Sometimes I hear other things. From now on, the Major General will be called an eel."
Sanzugamen suggested with a laugh. Not bad, when I agreed, Goro also agreed that "that's good”.
Everyone is laughing, but the expressions of Sanzugamen and Goro soldiers have a disheartening color. Maybe so am I, my weakness is all over me. Successfully managed to include his subordinates in Minmanji. Later, by his guide, he enters the castle and takes the life of Major General Omi, but he has gone so far... I was sighing if I noticed.
"It was a failure. Hitoi's associate minister should have been killed with this hand. Put people in the Torii family and poison them. No one should doubt natural death if they are old. The eel will definitely go to the Torii family, if you aim there, you could have easily taken your life, you pulled it out. How could you not think about the associate minister of Hitoi while thinking about using the birth of the young gentleman of the public..."
I bit my lips. I missed a thousand opportunities, I thought so.
"Well, it's not just about aiming, it's about aiming, it's about aiming, maybe I should have."
Goro soldier nodded at Sanzomen's words. Exactly, why didn't you notice there... You can't help but mourn, if you don't think about your next hand.
"What do we do? Do you want to go to Ise, or do you want the March verse? If you aim to go to Ise, you should be more vigilant about the March verse. You can't succeed first. It's a choice."
When I inquired, their faces tightened.
"Easy to aim would be a verse."
"If the eel must see."
There, that's the problem. The three of us met each other in the face.
"... Good taro, Goro soldier. Let's aim for Ise. There are definitely eels there. Without the eel, the eel won't hang if it drips the fishing line."
"Exactly"
"Agree"
The three of us nodded.
The question is which way to use Eight Winds Street or Thousand Kinds of Street. One Major General should probably come to Osamura. The meeting place will be large. Thousands of streets are closer to Osaka, but thousands of streets must cross the Cedar Valley from Kozuhata to the northern part of Rain Beggar Mountain and cross the roots. I think I'd like to avoid a double crossing. Another Yakuza street goes far, but it crosses the Yakuza and goes out to Kumana, from where there is also a hand called sea route.
Though it may be Yakuza Street that is safe, it can be a thousand streets behind it. It is inefficient, but it will be necessary to make sure that it can be rigged either way. If we don't hurry......
Shadow Chang Kurono, Hachima-cho, Fusei County, Omijiang, in early February, the former Turtle II (1574)
My father, Shigezuku Kurono, was waiting for me at the Kurono family mansion given under the castle.
"Father, I'm back now"
"Um, that's hard work. And the tail?"
"Well, that's not bad. The rivalry between the gatekeepers of the main temple remains. The one up there is desperately trying to fill the ditch, but it's not going to be that easy. I suspect that Long Island's survival will be pushed to its toughest role if it becomes a battle against decaying trees. That's how I serve it."
My father nodded.
"So, why did you call me?
"Master Oyato is going to Ise."
I nodded. A master of a house comes from Tosa. Meet in Osaka to discuss future policies. Master Oyato is seriously aiming for the West. The Three Kingdoms, one Article, are important allies in the western attack. And one article is also the hub of dealings with Ryukyu. I can't handle it roughly.
"Perhaps the sneaks of Hatano are attacking you."
……
Village clouds or troublesome men. I have helped the people of Tampa in their struggle. Even last year's attack on Tampa was aimed at the fate of Miyagi. It was a dangerous place, the matter has become an event of hatred for my father.
"Last year, there were people who entered the castle and frequented the kitchen. My allies tried to catch me, but I was tough, and I had to kill them. Probably tried to plant poison. The aim is your style."
"That's Watano. Probably not alone, we have company."
My father nodded.
"You've done a shame. If I caught him and let him throw up about his people, I could do all I could."
My father laughed low.
"Not really. The chances are limited if you are sure to kill someone who is after you. I saw it coming for the entertainment of the verses of People's Day..."
"I see, but it's stopped."
"Right, it was a shame. We also know that there are people who have entered Minamanji. As he said, I was able to do everything I could on that day..."
My father is biting his lips off.
"Who walked into Minamanji?
My father laughed with his eyes.
"Keep it up, it's not hard to catch, but then we'll be on our guard. That's not funny."
"If Nengxing is crushed, will Ise go next? Father's right."
"Right."
"What are you gonna do? You're not gonna make it."
It's not hard to prevent them if you know where they're coming for you. You can substitute the shadow for the shadow. But you must go to Ise in person. From Hachinojo Castle, you can either go for it or go for it. Fortunately, your stall is careful, but escorts can never be easy...
"Distribute enemies"
"… Eight wind streets, a thousand different streets, do you want to use both"
"Um, I go a thousand different streets. Take the Eight Winds Street."
I mean, is Yakuza Avenue?
"Your Yakuza will take the Yakuza Street with him."
"Dad!"
When I looked at my father in surprise, my father nodded.
"Are you serious?
"I mean it, if I do this safely, I give the mark to that person. That's all we have."
"Give me a trace? But......"
"The skinheads have agreed."
"... I mean, I'll do this job safely, is that a condition of the consent of the skinheads?
My voice plundered. My father said, "Yes, encourage." My father laughs low. I felt like a heavy object was put on my shoulder.
