It was a sunny day, and it was mid to late March, and the rain and snow in the sky had all dispersed, revealing the sun that had not been seen for a long time.

Shibata Katsuya sat in the tent of the Chinese army, sipping fragrant tea, while happily looking at the faintly moving figure on the opposite hill.

It was the military camp of the Yuchai Army, and they were on a relatively low hill, and they could almost see it at a glance from their side! Shibata Katsuie's mood is naturally excellent: "As long as you don't go to the high mountains on the side of Shidake to provoke Hideyoshi's main force, the detachment here will be fine!" The singer said secretly in his heart.

The current situation is much better than expected - although I was at a disadvantage before, but since the Ming Dynasty man came, my luck has been much better! not only urgently formed an alliance with the Uesugi family, the henchman behind him, but also divided the forces within the Yushiba family, and even weakened a lot of Yushiba Hideyoshi's strength openly and secretly.

Although, well, he also suffered a certain loss, but compared to Hashiba Hideyoshi, it was really much smaller - in his heart, he never meant to review his actions, but attributed it to luck.

At this moment, the sonorous sound of armor came from outside the military tent! Listening to this pace, it should be his nephew - Sakuma Morimasa! This kid is thirty-one years old this year, and he still walks like a twenty-year-old! What a tiger general!

Shibata Katsuya said in his heart, that Ming Dynasty man seems to have doubts about Katsumasa, huh...... Let me know more about my nephew!

"Uncle!" Sakuma Katsumasa's loud voice sounded near outside the military tent: "I'm in!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the big man's nephew strode into the military tent.

He was wearing a crimson front hat and feet, and he was already so vigorous! After entering the house, Sakuma Katsumasa took off his helmet and looked at his uncle with a big smile.

"Katsumasa is here!" Shibata Katsuya said gently. He has no son, and his relationship with his son is extremely poor, in the final analysis, this nephew is more like his own child. Katsuya cherishes this child indescribably, although he is in his thirties, he still feels in his heart that Katsumasa is a child who has not grown up.

"Uncle, it's clear! Today is a great time to enter! Sakuma Morimasa's big voice sounded again, he was an active main battle faction, and he was impatient if he didn't fight for a day!

Shibata Katsuke knew his nephew quite well, so he gently tapped the breastplate with an iron military fan and smiled, "No! Katsumasa, don't be in a hurry! Now the situation is in our favor, and the more we calm down, the better it will be! ”

Sakuma Morimasa picked up the tea bowl on the table, drank it all, and laughed: "Uncle, what did you say!" I look at the sergeants of the Yuchai family on the opposite mountain, one by one, just like their main family, monkeys, what is there to wait for! All you need is indomitable courage to defeat them in one fell swoop! ”

Shibata Katsuya likes this kid's personality very much, like when he was young, brave, enthusiastic, bold, and reckless! But Shibata Katsuie still shook his head and smiled: "No, Katsumasa, now is not the time to march, the enemy army camped earlier than us, they must be exhausted before us, that is the best time for us to fight a decisive battle with them in the mountains!" ”

Sakuma Morimasa changed his sitting posture, his heart was ten thousand unhappy, and he pouted: "No wonder you are called Oni Shibata by the world, you are really amazingly resourceful!" ”

This sentence sounds like a compliment, but in fact it is ironic and overwhelming.

Singer smiled without saying a word, and took another sip of tea.

Seeing that Shibata Katsuya was silent, Sakuma Morimasa said impatiently: "Uncle, our general who entered the enemy has been retired, but he gave me first-hand news - Hideyoshi has not been in the battle at all recently!" ”

Shibata Katsuya closed the fan with a "what", frowned and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Sakuma Morimasa said with a big grin: "I'm not an unreasonable person! I heard that Nobutaka Oda was making trouble behind his back, and Hideyoshi Hashiba, the monkey, personally led the troops back to Ise! ”

Shibata Katsuie asked, "Is the news accurate?" ”

Sakuma Morimasa laughed and said, "I know that Uncle you have to ask that!" Last night, I sent a few ninjas to the local stronghold to check, and the pot stove was nearly half missing! It can be seen that Hideyoshi's team is indeed not here! ”

As he spoke, Sakuma Katsumasa sat down, rubbed forward, and continued eagerly: "Uncle! Hideyoshi is not here, these people on the other side are like local chickens and tile dogs, there is nothing to be afraid of! We should take this opportunity to knock down Hideyoshi's deviant division in one go! When he comes back, I'm afraid that I can't regret it, and the general trend is gone! ”

Shibata Katsuie's heart was thrilled by this, but reason told him that Hideyoshi was not such an easy person to be defeated, and in his heart, he still felt that his steady tactics were more reliable. But he couldn't stand Sakuma Morimasa's repeated tossing.

I only heard this ghost Xuanwan say with a mocking tone: "Uncle, you won't be afraid of that monkey!" ”

Shibata Katsuie, as the number one retainer under Oda Nobunaga, is naturally above the top, if he is afraid of Yushiba Hideyoshi, then he will not agree to ten thousand! So the singer was displeased: "What did you say! I just think it's safer to stick to the tactics! ”

Sakuma Morimasa said hurriedly: "Uncle, when you hold on until Hideyoshi returns, our forces will enter a disadvantage again, and if you want to fight a decisive battle at that time, I'm afraid it's too late!" I beg you, let me lead the troops to charge the other side for a while! If it's not suitable, I'll be back as soon as possible! ”

Speaking of which, Sakuma Katsumasa has begun to coax and deceive Shibata Katsuie. In his dictionary, how could there ever be an option to go back?

Shibata Katsuya was excited, this is not a bad way! Let Katsumasa rush for a while, if Hideyoshi is really not there, it will be a godsend!

Seeing that Shibata Katsuie's face had eased a lot, Sakuma Morimasa continued: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't act recklessly!" Just take a look! All right? ”

Shibata Katsuya stared at Sakuma Morimasa, and said after a while: "You only need to fight a battle, no matter whether you win or lose, you must withdraw the army, can you do it?" ”

Sakuma Katsumasa only heard the word "war" in his ears, and he didn't hear other doubts, but he agreed without hesitation! Shibata Katsuya thought about it again and again, and then agreed, let Sakuma Morimasa rush for a while!

This ghost Xuanwan won this military order, and went happily like a tiger out of the gate.

Shibata Katsuie looked at Sakuma Katsumasa's back, and suddenly felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. But soon, he suppressed his thoughts again, after all, this was his nephew, and his bravery was fully aware of him.

But after thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he shouted his surname and called his general Maeda Lijia - the Li family has been with him for more than ten years, and he can be regarded as his confidant!

"Lijia, I have ordered Shengzheng to be the vanguard and attack the enemy camp. Now you are the commander of the strategy, hanging far behind Shengzheng to ensure his safety. Several other armies are also under your management, so you must make sure that nothing goes wrong! Shibata Katsuie said to Maeda Toshiie in a serious tone, completely forgetting my warning.

"Order!" Maeda Toshiya agreed very happily, and soon took a few lieutenants to chase after the back of Sakuma!

I have to say that Sakuma Morimasa is indeed a general who is good at fighting, and he took 8,000 men under his command from Sanyo, the city, bypassing Jifukuji Temple and Zhushan, and sneaking across the river, and finally reached the high mountains around Mt. Shidake!

Standing on the top of the mountain, Sakuma Morimasa's heart was full of pride—didn't he say that there was the main force of the enemy army near Shidake? Why is there not a single ghost shadow? Hideyoshi really ran away!

Thinking of this, Sakuma Morimasa's heart was on fire, and he didn't care about anything else, and took his eight thousand sons and tigers down the mountain, and went to the Nakagawa Kiyohide Department located in Big Rock Mountain!

Historically, this place was garrisoned by Yukicho Konishi, but this general was captured by Sakuma Morimasa during my first rescue at sea, and his life and death have not been known since. So the garrison general here became Kiyohide Nakagawa!

Nakagawa Kiyohide is a mediocre talent in Hideyoshi's lineup, there is nothing particularly outstanding, and when he finds out that there is another enemy behind him, Sakuma Katsumasa's Yachizuro has already rushed to half a mile of his own camp!

In the incomparable horror of Nakagawa Kiyohide, Sakuma Morimasa's army surged up like an unstoppable flood, and Nakagawa Kiyohide's 2,000 men and horses were swallowed up by this tiger-like army without making a big sound!

The generals of the Hideyoshi army on the other mountains discovered the movement here, and saw that Nakagawa Kiyohide was about to collapse in the sneak attack of the enemy, and the whole army was annihilated, and the army's heart was shaken, and there was a slight chaos!

Sakuma Morimasa was so hot in his heart that he completely forgot what his uncle had said, only one battle was allowed, and the demand for withdrawing the army regardless of whether he won or lost, and with a finger of the saber, this brave general known as Onigenhata took his eight thousand sons and continued to rush to the next mountain, the enemy of Mt. Iwasaki!
