Chapter 83 5. Ordinary Fujikichiro

Now that they knew the specific route and had plenty of dry food and cold water, Xiaopingtai and Aji walked in no hurry. They rushed to Inaihara slowly and asked around. Don't look at it. Camp. Looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You ask questions here and there, and either you don’t understand what you are talking about, or you don’t answer the questions you asked.

Xiaopingtai is not tall enough. If only she was 1.8 meters tall, she would definitely stand out from the crowd. No one would miss her if she just glances at her. It's a pity that I'm only 1.4 meters tall, which is really not enough to see, so it's useless to jump around in a hurry.

Xiaopingtai had no choice but to ask slowly in the camp. The more he looked at the camp, the more something was wrong. The whole camp was not neatly arranged, the morale was not high, the soldiers were not brave, and the generals were uncontrolled.

Everywhere looked like they had just been defeated and looked gloomy and gloomy.

Xiaopingta searched for a long time and finally found a samurai with bright armor, and hurried up to ask. The man took a look at Xiao Pingtai and saw that Xiao Pingtai was short and average-looking, with rotten teeth and a somewhat humble smile. He guessed that she was a farmer from another place looking for relatives. He impatiently told Xiaoping that the soldiers from Taizhong Cunxiang were somewhere, and he casually pointed his riding whip and left.

Xiaoping Tai was used to being bossed around. After all, she had been working as a slave, a slave, or a maid for more than nineteen years (Yoube was a slave for twenty years, which is pretty cool). Aji was a little angry and asked Why didn't Mrs. Xiao Ping come from such a high family and have such an important martial name to scare him? Xiao Pingtai pulled him and said as he walked: "What's the use of the nobility of the ancestors and the vain reputation? One's own strength is rampant in the world. When you go out, sometimes you can avoid too much trouble by being patient. When you go home, I will teach you to read " "Mencius, you can't come out of my house without understanding anything."

Aji nodded as if he understood something, "What is Mencius?" "Of course it's a book that teaches you how to be a human being. It talks about the wise words of the sages." Xiaopingtai said in a fatherly manner. Looking at Aji, Aji suddenly got a chill.

Koheita and Aji were chatting and laughing, looking in the direction pointed by the samurai, and finally found the area where the Nakamura Township soldiers were. After a brief look, they found Koichiro.

Kohei was so happy that he waved his hands and shouted: "Koichiro, Koichiro!"

Koichiro, who was talking to someone, suddenly heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he saw Koheita, who was also very happy and walking quickly. "Heita-chan, why are you here at Owari? How have you been doing lately?"

Koichiro came over and held Heita's hand, and invited him to sit on the floor. Hot tea was brewing on the bonfire in front of him. Koichiro took a bowl for Heita, and Heita drank half of it and handed it to Aji.

"Why did you come to Owari to find me? Now is not a good time. Is this your brother?" Koichiro finished his tea after the two of them sat down.

"I happen to be going to Omi, so I came to see you. This is my little follower Aji." He patted Aji on the head. "Hurry up and call uncle." Aji called out obediently.

After hearing Aji call him "uncle", Koichiro touched his pocket, probably looking for some gadget to give Aji as a meeting gift. But I found that I didn't bring anything with me, so I couldn't just give Aji a few dollars and get into trouble.

Koheita saw what Koichiro meant, "Why are we being so polite? Your mother gave us a good meal last night, and I'm so grateful. Hahahahaha." Koheita asked Aji to pour another cup. A bowl of tea came and a rice ball was handed to him. After walking for a long time, Aji was already hungry.

Seeing what Koheita said, Koichiro stopped being polite and casually asked about Koheita's current situation. He talked about many things one after another, from buying an official position in Shangluo to going to battle in Kanto, and learned that Koheita rewarded the eighth prince for Masatora Uesugi. Wu Qian Guanwen took the lead and then declined the matter. I couldn't help but admire Xiaoping Taizhen, a wise and courageous person without any distinction in the country.

Koheita also asked how Koichiro was doing recently. Anyway, Heita was his brother and friend, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. Koichiro truthfully said that after breaking up with Koheita, he could only go home to farm and take care of the fields.

Now there is internal strife in Owari. Koichiro is now considered half of Oda Nobunaga's ashigaru. What is half? In theory, his brother Tokichiro has already become a standing ashigaru. In the spirit of the principle, not all men in the family can go into battle. According to the principle (if there is a real fight, if a man is a man, he must go up), Koichiro can't go up anymore, but Nobunaga's troops are insufficient, so he kills himself blindly. In this way, Koichiro was appointed as Ashigaru, and took a dozen peasant soldiers to participate in the war.

The two of them got involved in the war. Sure enough, Nobunaga was defeated in the battle the day before yesterday. All 120 people including Sasaku Heiji and his subordinates who were the first savior were killed in the battle. Now Nobunaga's troops are exhausted, and all the castles including Moriyama have been lost. It has come to a matter of life and death.

Koheita was very confused, as for Nobunaga's father-in-law, why didn't Mino's viper come to save this son-in-law whom he liked so much? Koichiro sighed. More than half a month ago, Saito Douzan was attacked and killed by his son Saito Yoshiryu. Mino changed hands. Yoshiryu took Oda Nobunyasu to organize a return group and had already reached the four counties of Owari. Iwakura.

When Xiao Ping heard it, it turned out that the viper from Meinong was dead. It was a pity that he had never met him. From an oil businessman to the leader of a country, he was also a legendary figure.

While the two were talking, one person came over and said, "Koichiro, is this your friend?" "Brother, this is my friend Koheita. He is a famous samurai from Shinano!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, this is a living Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Xiaoping was in a state of shock, but on the surface he calmed down and said hello to the man who came over.

Like Koyata, he was less than 1.4 meters tall, with his hair tied with a straw rope, wearing an ordinary foot soldier uniform, no hat but a headband, dark skin, and a very approachable smile. He did not show any aura of a worldly person, only the feeling of an ordinary neighbor and friend. It was easy for people to fall in love with him (friendship), and he was a person who could make friends.

Koyata did not test this Tokichiro. The future worldly person was just an infantryman of Nobunaga, commanding dozens of peasant soldiers, and had no great merits. He received a salary of 25 kan a year, and his status was very low.

However, although Koyata had the status of a samurai, he did not say that he almost became a 5,000 kan daimyo. Tokichiro thought that Koyata was just a low-level samurai with 30 or 50 kan, so he did not show much, and the three of them chatted without any hindrance. Fujikichiro was also confused about the battle situation. After all, the opponent had the brave general Onishita, while his own soldiers accounted for more than half. Even so, there were only more than 1,600 soldiers left. Compared with the opponent's 4,000 brave soldiers, the generals were not good and the soldiers were insufficient. His only source of confidence at this time was his lord, Oda Kamisuke Nobunaga, who was still leisurely every day.

And what was Owari's big fool, Oda Kamisuke Nobunaga doing?
