Chapter 761 The Elegy of Daning Temple
After learning that Tao Longfang's army was rushing towards the Yamaguchi Ouchi, Yoshitaka Ouchi immediately pulled up an army of nearly 10,000 people near the Yamaguchi, and then took the initiative to fight against Tao Longfang's army. At the same time, he also sent a convening order to Sugigeu in front of Toyoto and Nagato Yoshitaka of Nagato, ordering them to lead the army immediately to Zhou Fang to jointly attack the rebel Tao Longfang.
Then Yoshitaka Ouchi's army arrived at a river beach near Utatsu City, where he was preparing to fight Tao Longfang. At this time, Yoshitaka Ouchi still believed that he would soon extinguish Tao Longfang's rebellion.
Near the wide river, there are endless weeds. Under the sunset at dusk, the weeds appear blood-red, as if indicating that this place will become a Shura blood field.
The army was soon arranged on the river beach, while Yoshitaka Ouchi set up his own formation on a small hill behind the army, and then quietly waited for the arrival of Tao Long's room. Time passed slowly, and it was getting late and late. The generals had sweated down their palms. The soldiers were a little impatient and moved their positions to make the spring mosquitoes bite them less.
"Here's here!" someone shouted, and everyone immediately felt the ground shaking, although very slight. The subtle sound was obviously the sound of human steps, and there were still many people running around.
"Prepare to face the enemy!"
When the soldiers heard the lord's voice, they all stopped moving and held the spear in their hands firmly. Everyone held their breath and everything was very quiet. As the pace approached, the soldiers also saw a group of dense people walking over from the lake. The general in the lead was Tao Longfang himself.
"You traitor who is that year!" Seeing Tao Longfang in anger from a distance, Yoshitaka Ouchi stood up angrily and pointed at Tao Longfang and cursed.
"Hmph. Tianyu didn't take it. Instead, he suffered the disaster." Tao Longfang obviously heard Yoshitaka's angrily scolding, and then snorted coldly, then turned to the military force of Yoshitaka's side and shouted: "Everyone, Yoshitaka, Yoshitaka, is greedy for pleasure and levy heavily. Even during the autumn harvest season, he did not care about the food waiting for harvest at home and forced you to die. Such a foolish lord is not worth your life! It's better to join the side of the next place and push down the foolish lord. I promise that I will treat you well in the future!"
As Tao Longfang said this, the retainers and soldiers behind Tao Longfang persuaded Yoshitaka's military force opposite him.
"Damn it, attack me quickly!" Seeing this, Yoshitaka Ouchi immediately shouted. The retainers around him immediately sent people forward and prepared to order the front party to launch an attack immediately.
But at this moment, a commotion came from the formation ahead. It turned out that some soldiers had turned against each other. Although some soldiers did not turn against each other, they threw down their weapons and fled out of the battlefield.
"Lord, you should hurry back to Yamaguchi and organize military forces to attack the rebels. Just leave it here to me." At this time, a retainer suddenly said.
Yoshitaka Ouchi turned around and saw that it was Tao Longxian. Tao Longxian was also a branch of the Tao family, but it was incompatible with Tao Longfang, so even though Tao Longfang rebelled at this time, he was still standing on the side of Yoshitaka Ouchi.
Yoshitaka Ouchi saw a mutiny in front of him, and he was also in a state of great turmoil at this time. He thought, it would be better to go back to Yamaguchi first to wait for the news, so he left Tao Longxian and Leng Quan Longfeng to resist Tao Longfang's rebels together, and he returned to Yamaguchi's Ouchi Pavilion to wait for the news.
While waiting anxiously, at night, Leng Quan Longfeng, covered in blood, led a team of remaining soldiers to flee back to the Da Nei Pavilion.
"Longfeng? Are you?" Seeing Leng Quan Ryotomo's embarrassing appearance, Yoshitaka Ouchi was shocked.
"Lord, run away quickly, you can't resist it anymore, the soldiers have turned against each other. The ministers cannot effectively stop the rebels. Tao Longxian is leading some soldiers to make the final stop, and ask the ministers to come back to escort the lord away from here!" Leng Quan Longfeng said with a sad face.
"What? How is this possible?" Even though someone turned against him or fled, it was a military force of 10,000, and he could not resist the rebels of only 3,000 people? However, Yoshitaka Ouchi's previous actions had already caused the retainers to complain. Now at this time, there are still people who are willing to support him? So the rebels in Tao Longfang are fighting more and more, while Yoshitaka Ouchi's army is constantly decreasing.
"Lord, run away, it will be too late if you don't run away. When my servant rushed back, the rebels led by Jiang Liangrongfang, the vanguard of the rebels, had already caught up with us. I guess Tao Longxian could not resist it for too long." Leng Quan Longfeng persuaded again.
"Okay, let's go!" At this time, Yoshitaka Ouchi also knew that Ouchi was not a place to stay for a long time, so he immediately decided to flee. So in the evening of that day, Yoshitaka Ouchi brought a group of soldiers to approach the monks and ministers, about 3,000 people, to take refuge in the Faquan Temple at the junction of Zhou Fangguo and Nagato.
After escaping here, Yoshitaka Ouchi immediately wrote a letter to Yoshitaka Naito (that is, Takae Naito's father) of the nearby Naito family, expressing his willingness to live in seclusion and give way to his legitimate son Yoshitaka Ouchi to exchange for the retreat from Tao Longfang. However, Yoshitaka Naito sneered after receiving the letter, saying that it was Tao Longfang who beat you, and you asked him to ask him, what's the use of asking me? So he threw the letter into the fire pit and sent someone away.
The poor Yoshitaka Ouchi waited for the Faquan Temple for a whole night. In the early morning of the next day, not only did he not wait for the Naito family to respond, but he even received a bad message. It turned out that in the past one night, there were only less than 1,000 people left. Moreover, the soldiers also found the rebel pursuers from Tao Longfang in the rear.
At this time, it started to rain heavily in the sky and even wind blew. It seemed that even God was pitiful to Yoshitaka Ouchi. After waiting for so long, not only did the Sugi family, which was far away, did not send reinforcements, but even the nearby Naito family, did not move. Yoshitaka Ouchi knew what these families were thinking, so he did not dare to join them. In desperation, Yoshitaka Ouchi had to take the remaining people to the Hanzaki Bay north of Nagato in the heavy rain. He was going to find a few ships there. Then he went to the brother-in-law Yoshimami, who was the brother-in-law Yoshimami, who was the master of Ishimami. Yoshimami's family and the Tao family were enemies. They would definitely not support Tao Longfang's rebellion.
However, when a group of people finally arrived at Haizaki Bay, due to the wind and rain, there were huge waves in the sea, and Yoshitaka Ouchi and others could not even find a broken boat nearby. At this time, due to the escape, there were less than a hundred family members around Yoshitaka Ouchi.
"This is the heaven that will destroy me!" Yoshitaka Ouchi knelt on the beach and let the waves rush on him, raised his head and shouted at the sky.
"Lord, cheer up! Now I still have to run away quickly!" Leng Quan Ryoto behind him also cried and pulled Yoshitaka Ouchi.
"Escape!? Hahahaha..." Why didn't Ouchi Yoshitaka know? Since Tao Longfang had made up his mind to get rid of him, how could he let him go? Maybe the pursuers were about to come here. But Leng Quan Longfeng made him wake up again, so he immediately pulled Leng Quan Longfeng to his eyes.
"Master..." Even Leng Quan Longfeng was shocked when he saw his lord's sudden action.
"Listen, whether the blood of the Neijia family can continue, it depends on you next."
"Master..."
"Listen, now you choose some people and bring my son Yoshizun (seven years old), the followers Yoshimi Kobata (fifteen years old), Nijo Ryoto (son of Nijo Yoshifang, fifteen years old), and they ran away separately, no. Even those families will send someone to escort them back to their parents' homes." Ouchi Yoshitaka said.
"Ah? Lord?" Leng Quan Longfeng was shocked after hearing this. He instantly understood what the lord Yoshitaka Ouchi was going to do. But he would rather follow his lord until he died in battle.
"Listen. Whether the bloodline of the Danai family can survive will depend on you. After escaping, do not escape in the direction of Shimiji. The rebels knew that we would definitely escape to Shimiji, and that direction would definitely be closely monitored, so you would rather run south and run to the direction of Guanmen Strait..." At this point, Yoshiki Ouchi suddenly stopped. Then he suddenly picked up the ribs of a soldier beside him and cut it on his body.
"Master?" Everyone exclaimed immediately when they saw this.
"Come on, help me to cover up the wind and rain." Yoshitaka Ouchi said with a raised piece of clothing that had just been cut off from his body. Everyone then felt relieved, and they thought Yoshitaka Ouchi was going to seek a short opinion of himself.
So everyone immediately surrounded Ouchi Yoshitaka's head and temporarily built a small tent that could shelter from wind and rain. Ouchi Yoshitaka then gently stroked his middle finger with a rib gap, and bright red blood began to gush out of his fingers.
Everyone didn't know what Yoshitaka Ouchi was going to do next, but they all looked at Yoshitaka nervously. Once Yoshitaka Ouchi had any suspicious actions, they would stop it in time. But to their surprise, Yoshitaka Ouchi directly wrote words on the rag that had just been cut with his blood-stuck middle finger.
This is a blood book that Yoshitaka Ouchi made temporarily. The general meaning of the above is that as long as Masara Luo can ensure that the bloodline of the Da Nei family can be healthy for a lifetime, Yoshitaka Ouchi is willing to hand over the Buqian Kingdom, Fengqian Kingdom, Nagamon Kingdom and Zhou Fangguo to Masara Luo.
After a while, the blood book was finally completed. Yoshitaka Ouchi carefully wrapped it in a rain-proof letter bag, and then found the Western Country Exploration, Family Governor and other flower prints carried by Yoshimi Kobata, and wrapped them all. Yoshitaka Ouchi finally handed these things to Takato Lengquan.
"Master?"
"Listen, hide, look for opportunities, gather the escaped people, then go to Kyushu and hand them to the fat former eagle in person." Yoshitaka Ouchi said with a ruthless face.
"Ah? Lord? Luo Family..." Leng Quan Longfeng originally wanted to remind Yoshitaka Ouchi that the Luo Family is the mortal enemy of the Yoshitaka Ouchi, how could he surrender to the Luo Family? But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Yoshitaka Ouchi. Yoshitaka Ouchi said with bloody eyes:
"There is not much time left, so let's talk about it here. If the fat eagle intended to obtain the countries in the blood book, he would naturally treat you well. This blood book, these petitions, my legitimate son and you are all his righteousness to obtain Kitakyushu and the Western Kingdom. He would definitely not refuse. Hahaha, Tao Longfang, did you see it? This is the gift I left to you, and soon, I will see you below."
"Lord!" Leng Quan Longfeng and others heard the death aspirations of their lord from Yoshitaka Ouchi's words, and immediately said with grief and anger.
"Don't delay any more, the pursuers will arrive soon, I will buy you time. Hurry up, take them with you and escape quickly." Yoshitaka Ouchi said quite firmly at this time.
Immediately, under the drive of Ouchi Yoshitaka, dozens of people including Leng Quan Longfeng escorted Ouchi Yoshitaka's legitimate son Ouchi Yoshitaka and other children separately, and their families scattered one by one. As Ouchi Yoshitaka expected, the main target of Tao Longfang's pursuers was Ouchi Yoshitaka, so following Ouchi Yoshitaka was even more dangerous. His actions really saved all these people. Although Tao Long's sexual intercourse also sent people to search for several Ouchi Yoshitaka's family, Tao Longfang's real target was Ouchi Yoshitaka and others, so he was too lazy to make things difficult for these families who had lost their status, so these families were also spared from death. Later, when Ouchi Yoshitaka received the essay from the Luo family and returned to Zhou Fangguo, these people who fled back then were found by Ouchi Yoshitaka and lived a happy and stable life.
Tao Longfang, who could not find traces of Ouchi Yoshizun and others, was in anger and set fire to Yamaguchi Ouchi, burning palaces and dozens of Buddhist temples, Yamaguchi Ouchi, which condensed the Ming and Korean cultures, eventually turned into scorched earth, and many nobles who took refuge from Kyoto to Yamaguchi also died in the war. The Yamaguchi culture, which had been prosperous for a hundred years, also faded without a trace with Ouchi Yoshizun's death, was really sighing.
Of course, these are things to come in the future. Now, after Yoshitaka Ouchi dispersed his son, family and others, he took more than 20 guards who were willing to stay and accompany Yoshitaka Ouchi to die and entered the Daning Temple nearby Fukagawa with great fanfare.
Ouchi Yoshitaka and others acted vigorously and indeed attracted too many pursuers. Soon, the Daning Temple was surrounded by the army of Tao Longfang.
Another autumn day is coming. In Daning Temple, the tall maple trees are shrouded by fiery red maple leaves. After being washed by rain, the originally fiery red maple leaves look particularly charming and even a little blood-red, as if it shows that this land is about to experience a bloody disaster.
Two days after the confrontation with the rebels in Daning Temple (there was only a few days in history, but this time, I tried my best to use negotiations and other means to delay it), Daning Temple left a sentence of "I have no time to float and keep my name, I hate the dark waves of spring in the world, and finally realized that victory and defeat are just lightning lights in the morning, and it passes by once you pass". Then, under the witness of Yi Xueqingshu, the rebels rushed into the temple outside the temple and calmly cut their stomachs.
