Chapter 173 Bad News

The assessment meeting held in the big tent lasted until nightfall, and everyone made some arrangements and predictions about the subsequent actions around the map and the information at hand.

The current battlefield situation is quite chaotic, and the troops of both sides are intertwined. The troops of the Asahina family, the Yuqiu family, and the Ouphien family are located on the banks of the Imma River in the west of Kariya Castle. There are less than 18 oo soldiers in total, and the number of auxiliary soldiers, the latter has not yet completely crossed the river. The entire Okabe family is currently stationed in Kariya Castle and the Castle Town, including the Okabe family and a group of powerful families. It has more than 3 oo soldiers and a total of more than 10,000 troops. Another unit of the Asahina family, Semaki, the Quinguchi family and the Asahina family, are stationed in the east of Kariya Castle, with about 13 oo soldiers. In addition, the Matsuhira family, which controls Anxiang Castle and Okazaki Castle, also have nearly 5 oo soldiers in their hands, and are still convening old troops.

If we look at it from a global perspective, it can be seen that the Okabe family's troops were sandwiched in the middle by the Akihitoi team, and they were in a dilemma. But from another perspective, the Okabe family's troops were also cut from the middle by the Okabe family, and it was not easy to support and contact each other. The two divisions that were divided were unable to stop the Okabe family's mobility. The Matsuhira family, who had ulterior motives, could not gain the trust of the Askihitoi and others. In this situation, the Askihitoi decided to take a defensive position and waited for the Okabe family to take action first.

However, what was very worried about Yuqiuhei was the defense issue of Shizui Castle. From Kariya Castle where Okabe Motonobu was located, it only took more than ten miles to attack Yuqiuhei's ability to attack Yuqiuhei. It was difficult to provide effective support without any time to react. However, Shizui Castle was an empty city at this time, with no defenders at all. Once the Okabe family marched with Shizui, Shizui would fall immediately. Yuqiuhei's family would also face danger.

In response to this difficult crisis, Yu Qiuping once again sent out Naoe Tadaehime, whom he trusted the most. The orders he gave him were also very broad. Whether it was to summon the militias from Bihai County to defend, lead the family to evacuate, or apply for reinforcements, he would do everything at a bargain.

Before nightfall that night, Asahina Taisori also contacted Semine Shin-shou. The Matsuhei family kept their promises and the garrison troops of Ankara Castle had advanced to the side of Semine's reserve troops. Okazaki Castle's garrison troops entered Ankara Castle.

On the morning of May 22, Surugaku's country Ejiri, in the territory of Yuqiu's family.

Imakawa Kaede leaned on the pillars of the corridor, looking at the prosperous flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard - these were all those Yu Qiuping personally asked someone to transplant and carry her. I hope she could maintain a good mood during her pregnancy. She enjoyed the feeling of bathing in the warm sunshine, growing softly like satin in the breeze, and rubbing the wonderful arc. She gently stroked her slightly raised belly with one hand, with an extremely loving look on her face, and her mind was filled with beautiful memories of being with the boy.

"Children must have dimples." Imakawa Kaede suddenly smiled sweetly when he thought of this.

I don't know if it's a boy or a girl?

"Of course it's a boy..." Imakawa Kaede gently drew a circle on his lower abdomen with his right finger. "He came to Japan alone and had no foundation. In this era, if a samurai family wants to prosper, offspring and a family are essential. With offspring, the retainers will be more cohesive and can continue to serve the Yuqiu family without any worries."

But Ping seems to want a girl.

"In the next half year, Feng'er, you will be raised by me obediently!" Yu Qiuping suddenly hugged Imagawa Kaede, and his tone changed, and he whispered gently: "Then give me a beautiful child! It's best to be a girl who looks like you!"

"Hey? Why?" Imagawa Kaede said in surprise: "Don't ordinary samurai like to have a boy, so it's better to inherit the family governor?"

"That's an ordinary warrior!" Yu Qiuping excitedly fantasized about his future life. "My biggest regret is that he was not able to be with you for more than ten years. I don't know what Feng'er looked like when he was a child! If I could have a girl like you, I could raise Feng'er from childhood to adulthood!"

Imakawa Kaede was stunned for a while, and tears suddenly filled his eyes.

"That liar who deceives one's heart..." Imagawa Kaede muttered, but a trace of mist rose in front of him.

Who said that the daughter of the Wu family is destined to be a victim of political marriage and cannot reap happiness?

Or is it a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes to meet someone who loves me like Ping?

"If it's a boy..." Imakawa Kaede fell into fantasy again, gently rubbing the maple leaf pendant on his chest, "In the future, this pendant will be passed to him and let him hand it over to the girl he falls in love with."

"In the future... we must never let our children fall into the sea of ​​suffering of political marriage." Imakawa Kaede secretly made up his mind, "This is not only unfair to him, but also unfair to that girl. Failing to realize true love will be a lifelong misfortune."

"If it's a girl... she can't let her marry someone she doesn't like. Women also have their own past, their own future, their own personality, their own joys, sorrows, and happiness. They can't silently become Hongye who can only cry and not laugh for another person."

Just as Kawakara was looking forward to the wedding of his unborn child, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the West, bringing Kawakarara back to reality.

After the army set out, Imagawa Kaede could receive information from the front line every day. Because the messengers who conveyed military information were instructed by Yu Qiuping to tell the news that Ah Ling, the maid who stayed in Junfu City, would then take it back to Ejirishi Nishi - to calm down Imagawa Kaede and not be shocked by worries and concerns.

Yesterday's letter said that it was the evening of May 17th, and the Imakawa army had already made plans for the pre-war deployment. Under the oil lamp, Imakawa Kaede checked the movements of the two armies in the history books left by Yu Qiuping over and over again, confirming whether everything was carried out according to Yu Qiuping's plan. Finally, under the strong persuasion of the maid, he reluctantly returned to his room to rest.

"It should be the news of May 18th..." Although the information that everything was normal yesterday made Imagawa Kaede less nervous. But when I thought that Yu Qiuping's previous life was the day of his father's death. And the second day of this life was also destined to start that thrilling decisive battle. Imagawa Kaede couldn't help but raise his heart to the throat and turn his eyes to the horse's hoof dust rising from the official road to the west.

However, as a figure gradually emerged in the dust, as the figure gradually became clear, Imagawa Kaede's eyes suddenly widened - it was not his maid - but Aiyama Shishi--the captain of Yuqiuhei Cavalry Team.

How could it be him? Why did he come to report the news?

Imakawa Kaede raised his hand, covered his slightly opened mouth, and looked at Sushiyama rushed towards the residence regardless of concern. Several guards and maids around him rushed forward to stop him, but when he saw that Sushiyama was Sushiyama, he did not interrogate him, but just asked him to dismount and walk so as not to disturb the pregnant wife.

Sushi Yama Shikishi seemed to have followed the advice of these people, and stopped the horse shakingly. However, the moment he turned over and got off the horse, he fell to the ground with a sudden blow. Several maids around him exclaimed a few times, and several guards hurriedly bent down to check Sushi Yama Shikishi's situation. Seeing this, Imakawa Kaede hurriedly walked towards the place where he fell off his horse.

By the time Imakawa Kaede arrived, Aiyama Shinshi had been filled with several sips of water by several guards, gasping and coughing. He had dark circles, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and the smell of sweat was scattered on his armor. The horse that just fell off was probably due to overwork.

"How could he be so tired... so anxious..." Imakawa Kaede's face changed and he murmured to himself, "The captain of his cavalry, probably, has not closed his eyes for several days and nights, and he tried his best to come back to deliver the message..."

"Madam...Madam..." Suishan Shin-shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, struggling to speak, but he had almost no strength to speak.

"What's wrong, Lord Hiroyama?" Imagawa Kaede asked anxiously.

"Urgent report..." Aishan Shishi said intermittently, "Your Highness asked me to... come back..."

"What urgent report is it?" Imakawa Kaede felt that his breathing could not keep up, and his voice came out almost uncontrollably.

"An emergency report on the 19th."

The moment those words were spoken out, Imakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment.

The 19th...An urgent report. However, the 18th is not here yet.

The messenger on the 19th rushed faster than the eighteenth. The messenger on the 19th May.

What was born... Is it still necessary to say...

Imagawa Kaede's intuition suddenly turned black, and her body shook for a moment, almost falling to the ground. Several maids around hurriedly came up to me and supported Imagawa Kaede.

"Our army..." After a few breaths, Shinmami Hiroyama struggled to speak, but was interrupted by Imagawa Kaede suddenly saying: "Wait a moment! Please..."

Imakawa Kaede's face changed like a war between heaven and man. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Help me sit down." Imakawa Kaede used all his strength and ordered in a low voice. The maids around him were helping her sit down obediently.

"Press me." Imakawa Kaede whispered again, trying to stop the trembling of the voice and maintain the stability of the tone, but the crying voice still leaked out of his mouth. Several maids looked at each other, but they still obediently did it. A few pairs of hands were placed on Imakawa Kaede's shoulders and arms.

"Tell me." Imagawa Kaede quickly spit out these two words to Mitsuma Azuma, as if she didn't dare to say anything more for a second, and if she could say it faster, she could alleviate the pain. She closed her eyes tightly, tears began to flow down her cheeks, and her body was constantly trembling.

"On the 19th... Our army ambushed the Oda army in the middle of the drum, and the Oda army fled." After a while, the Faithful sentence of Aiyama became coherent, but his tone was like a dream, and he seemed to be unable to believe it until now.

"However, His Highness suddenly received the order to stop the march and was forced to withdraw Zhili."

"The Oda family took the Shadow Warrior level of the House of the House of the Imperial Palace that he was seeking... to attack Naruto City. The outside teams outside the city did not know that the House of the Imperial Palace was actually in Naruto, and they all thought that the House of the Imperial Palace was dead..." Aiyama Shishi swallowed, "The entire army disintegrated, and the Oda family attacked Naruto Sea."

"Minami City Guardian Okabe Motoshinobu burned down the Tianshou Pavilion and fled without fighting, but the main hall of the family governor was unfortunately trapped in the fire..." Mishiki Aiyama's voice trembled more and more violently.

"Dead."

After a brief silence.
