For several days, he stayed quietly in the Imperial Pavilion, living in a shallow place, without seeing any outsiders, in stark contrast to the diligent administration of the day before, and there were inevitably some rumors in the collar, but he was suppressed by Kawada Changqin, threatening to send anyone without permission, and he would be imprisoned at least and sentenced to death. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even Qingzhou City heard the rumors, but for a while, there was no reaction.

On the fifth day, a merchant claiming to be from wanted to see the lord, but was stopped by the chief of the commissioner, Matsui Yukan, and told him all about what he had asked. When the "merchant" wondered why the lord could not show up, Matsui responded that His Highness had just married the bride, and it was the time for the chord of the chord, and the latter hurriedly expressed his understanding and made an expression that all men understand. The merchant inquired about the armaments in the city on the pretext of providing weapons, and several of the retainers avoided talking about it, until the merchant offered some money, and a few of them were willing to reveal a little bit of the inside information, but there were many inconsistencies, illogical, and inconsistencies, as if these retainers did not know anything about the military affairs in the city.

However, after the merchant left, the business under discussion was not fulfilled, but military information came from Mikawa. However, as a result, many leaders really noticed that not only the lord, but even the main mother was nowhere to be seen, and it was Matsui's words that he really believed, thinking that he was greedy for the Spring Festival and ignored political affairs.

No matter what outsiders speculate, Fanxiu calmly taught his wives and concubines to read and write, although the joy of bed linen makes men and women yearn for it, but after doing it repeatedly, they are psychologically and physically tired, but they do something elegant, which is also quite funny. In her infancy, Chiyo Yuki, but she didn't cry in the arms of adults, but often opened her curious eyes and watched her father write, as if she was being influenced by culture.

"Zygote, Yukichiyo is really smart, and she will definitely become a famous lady in the future!"

The dog smiled and praised, but always with a hint of loss. It's only been three months since she entered the door, and it is common sense that there is no movement in her abdomen. However, human emotions cannot be inferred through common sense.

"Madam, you are a well-known talented woman."

The zygote didn't dare to ignore it, and hurriedly bowed down and replied respectfully. Although they gradually became familiar with each other, and the other party was not proud of their background, the way of respect and humility of the concubine was always pressed under her heart, and she did not dare to loosen it in the slightest.

Ah Dog also accepted this salute calmly, and only then chuckled and pulled the zygote up.

In a position where the two couldn't see, Fanxiu nodded slightly. It is indeed not easy to respect each other within one door, but within the martial arts family, it is essential to be orderly among the young and the young. A dog can show more of a formal demeanor, which is definitely something that is beneficial to the Hite.

"Anyway, when I first arrived in Cheongju, I saw a dog watching something like "Heiji Monogatari". But it's not a woman's favorite read. ”

Seeing Fanxiu's direct gaze, Ah Dog's cheeks were slightly red, and he lowered his head. Obviously, there have been many skin-to-skin blind dates, but they are still shy because of this, this is the state of a girl.

"Actually, that's the book that Ah Shi likes, because she can't figure out the grammar, so she ......"

Oda Nobunaga's sister, can she not figure out the grammar? But if it's the sister-in-law who often imitates Ji Samurai, you can imagine it.

"Oh, then she won't admire Judge Kuro (Gen Yoshitsune) like other girls, but she likes Ba Gozen and Kiso Yoshinaka!" (PS: Actually, the image of the beautiful man Yoshitsune with the appearance of a boy and a girl in the Muromachi period has not yet been popularized, but here it is based on the artistic image of the present world.) ）

The brave and rough Kiso Yoshinaka, within the Oda family, only the Shibata Katsuya barely fits this image. So a lot of things, I'm afraid it's not all political factors.

"Hmm." Ah Dog nodded slightly, then hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, the person you admire, is it Judge Kurou or Kamakura Gong (Minamoto Yorito)?" ”

Fanxiu's heart suddenly became alert.

This question...... It almost made people think that she was trying to find out the thoughts of his retainers for Nobunaga. With the example of Oda City and Gotoku, the son-in-law of the Oda family is probably not in such a stable position.

glanced away, and only saw a girl's look full of expectation in her shyness. Judging by her temperament, it shouldn't be like this. Maybe it's just that I'm too sensitive!

Thinking so in his heart, he replied: "Actually, what I admire is the tragic and wise general who is loyal to the Ping clan, His Excellency Xinzhong Nayan (Ping Zhisheng). That's not a bad answer, and it's not entirely distorted.

"Oh......" Ah Dog replied, thoughtful. It seems that the question was really asked by chance.

Then he felt a little left out of the zygote, so he turned around and said to her: "Even if it is a woman, it is good to teach her Chinese, and the task of educating her children cannot be completely counted on the teacher who is invited." ”

"Yes."

The latter leaned over and replied.

It seems that there is something slightly inappropriate about educating children with the side room, but no one will notice it at this time.

At this time, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked lightly on the door three times.

Then the door was pushed open, and Ning Ning quietly entered.

"Your Highness, Hattori Koto-sama said that there is something important to report."

Events? Could it be the other side of the Three Rivers......

"Let him be careful when he comes in."

Fanxiu pressed his emotions and commanded calmly.

"Yes."

Ning Ning took the order and left, and after a while, Xiao Tengtai hurriedly walked to the door and knelt down.

"Lord, as you expected! Kira and Matsudaira in Nishimikawa are both recruiting soldiers and horses. ”

Are there two?

"What about the situation?"

"It took a day for the Matsudaira family to mobilize 300 ashigaru, while the Kira family already has more than 500 people and is still expanding."

That's right.

Fanxiu frowned and said nothing, and began to calculate in his heart. The Matsudaira family was expected, but they didn't want the Mikawa Kira clan to have such a desire to expand. Could it be that the two have united? Didn't Matsudaira have the idea of falling to Oda?

"Do you want to see it again?"

Kotota looked at Fanxiu's expression and asked cautiously.

"Hmm......" Fanxiu nodded slowly, "But from today onwards, you only need to guard the area within thirty miles of the city, and if you find the situation of the enemy army, you will come back and report immediately." ”

"Yes."

According to the law of this era, it would take at least five times as many troops to capture a well-defended city. In the case of the city, it is more than 1,500 troops. In May and June, it may be difficult for Matsudaira and Kira to gather so many soldiers and horses alone, and if they work together, the number will be enough, but is there a basis for trust between the two sides?

If it is determined that the defender is injured and takes the opportunity to attack the city, then there is no need to deliberately find someone to get a piece of the pie.

What are the facts? At this time, I really hope to have an excellent strategist or an excellent intelligence system to rely on, but unfortunately neither of them has eyebrows. It would be nice to have at least one person who knows the Mikawa Kira clan!

The Hattori brothers had never been out of Owari, Kawada Nagajin had only been here for two years, and Matsui Tomokan wasn't even a samurai before......

Maybe now the static brake side is on the book, as long as you ensure that the city is not lost, you can guarantee that there is no loss. As for whether there can be gains, it depends on the opportunity to respond at that time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just when Koto Tai returned to the castle, his information was outdated, and the number of soldiers and horses gathered by the Kira family had reached as many as eight hundred, which was close to the current limit of Yoshiaki Kira. However, the number of the Matsudaira family remained unchanged at three hundred.

"This Matsudaira Motoyasu, has he only made up three hundred people so far?"

Yoshiaki Kira couldn't help but laugh when he heard the scout's return.

"Yes, it is said that Sakai Tadashi, a powerful faction, refused the request to send troops on the pretext that the farming was not over, and Naito Kiyocho verbally agreed to participate in the battle but ignored it at all, and many small families who were attached to them followed suit, and the Matsudaira family, which could nominally mobilize 3,000 people, could only mobilize one-tenth of the number of people." When the old man Tominaga Tadagen talked about Matsudaira Motoyasu, his face was also full of disdain, "Now he doesn't dare to continue to ******, in case more than half of the retainers oppose him, he will step down directly!" ”

"No wonder he wants to contact his own family to attack the city together, otherwise with his three hundred people, even if the city lord dies, he won't be able to defeat the city! Originally, I was worried that this was a ploy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, but now it seems to be ......"

"My lord, according to the people of Suruga, Matsudaira Takechiyo is a disciple of the Taiyuan Yukisai Gong himself."

Just the right sentence to add, full of irony.

"He can't be blamed for that." Yoshiaki Kira smiled, "After his father's death, he was sent to Suruga as a hostage, and it would be strange if he could unite a family that didn't even have a master!" ”

"What the lord said is very true."

"What is the situation in the city?"

"Although everything is done to cover it up, a discerning person can see at a glance that the city lord is injured. As for the retainers, they were all mediocre people, and they only took a little bribe to leak the military information, and there was not even a single one who was familiar with military affairs. ”

"That's right." Yoshiaki Kira was a little puzzled, "This person has become famous in recent years, so he shouldn't be incompetent?" ”

"Lord!" Tominaga Zhongyuan bowed down and said, "He can indeed be called wise and brave, but the governance is far behind, and I only learned when I arrived in the city that the flat hand Fanxiu exempted half of the field tax for the disabled." ”

"Half? What a mess, and love alone is not enough to calm the troubled times. ”

"It's just for the sake of Xiaoren and disregarding the righteousness of the world."

"Yes, this move is to forget the foundation of my generation of martial artists."

"Besides, Lord, there is a word below, I don't know whether it should be ...... or not"

"What is it? Although you and I are kings and ministers, we are one and the same, so why worry? ”

"Yes. The Matsudaira family asked the family to give up the castle in exchange for the castle ......"

"Haha......"

Yoshiaki Kira burst out laughing.

"What does this mean Lord? I don't understand......"

"What was said at the beginning was that if they took the castle together, they would give up another fortress in exchange. But what if the family takes the city alone? ”

"It turns out that the lord has a plan, but his subordinates have trespassed."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"The day after tomorrow is the agreed time to send troops together, my family ......"

"Tomorrow morning, the army will be raised! At the same time, someone was sent to inform the Matsudaira family to contact the family and drag the timid child. ”

"The lord is wise."

…………

While all kinds of things were going on in the city, the soldiers outside the city had also begun their own speculations and discussions. In early summer, the spring cold has long faded, and sitting in groups at night is a suitable time for chatting and chatting.

Lower-level samurai and peasant soldiers, there is no difference in identity, for many years from the acres of land to get survival capital, naturally not talk about any etiquette education, although it is claimed to be the army, but it is scattered everywhere, sitting on the ground, hooking shoulders and backs, talking to each other about the marginal rumors of the rivers and lakes, some people will not be reprimanded for openly drinking, it seems that as long as there is no mutiny, it is not considered illegal.

Then gradually the topic focused on this joint battle.

"Did you hear that, this time we are going to attack the castle, which is the big castle of Owari!"

"Owari? Even Imagawa Osabe died there, and we're just ......."

"You're too unambitious, it's because of their defeat that we have a chance."

"What is the name of the lord of the city? I think I've heard what kind of prison thing it is? ”

"Tie the prisoner? Didn't he seppuku years ago? Could it be that this is his son now? ”

"What a draw, isn't the famous general of Owari just a Shibata Katsuie?"

"Sen Kecheng is the best marksman! Shibata is just old. ”

"Who knows if it's blown out, wait until I take down the head of that prison......"

"Hey, this person is not simple, I heard that one person asked for the head of Lin Misaku out of more than a thousand people, and this time Imagawa Zhibu ......"

Finally, a well-informed person came out to show the truth, and everyone was suddenly a little apprehensive.

"According to this, this tie is very powerful? That ......"

"Anyway, the people above decided whether to fight or not, and when the time comes, it is important to be optimistic about their own lives!"

"That's right, be careful, if that guy is really strong, we can't beat it, can't we run......"

…………

The three hundred soldiers of the Matsudaira family have also been gathered, but the military appearance is completely different. This time, none of Matsudaira Motoyasu was from the wall-like countrymen, and all the people selected were Sakai, Ishikawa, Honda, Kamihara, Okubo and the subordinates of the Konji family, although the number was small, but the centripetal force was extremely high.

However, the fact that someone openly refused to be recruited still shook the Matsudaira family, and although Motoyasu did not show any abnormality, the retainers were already a little unbalanced.

Tadaji Sakai, who is regarded as the chief minister, has received a lot of strange glances. Because his uncle, Tadashi Sakai, has recently repeatedly expressed his nostalgia for the Imagawa family's rule, and has a faint tendency to become the head of the opposition party within the Matsudaira family, this time it is even more blatant to damage the majesty of the main family.

Even if the upper echelons knew that this was only part of the plan, they couldn't help but be terrified, not to mention the people below. The Matsudaira clan's path to independence was difficult. As Yoshiaki Kira said, the Matsudaira family has not had a head of the family for more than ten years, and the old ministers have long been accustomed to doing their own thing, and there is no whole at all, and Matsudaira Takechiyo has not had any achievements worth mentioning in the past two years to serve the public. The only people who were truly loyal to him were the attendants who accompanied him to Suruga as hostages, and these people did not even represent the attitude of their respective families.

The envoy of the Kira family has just arrived at Okazaki Castle to discuss the joint dispatch of troops and the distribution of benefits afterwards. The two sides struggled to reach a reluctant agreement with each other giving in. This is also a spectacle that can only be seen in troubled times, when both sides are ready to turn around and abandon the treaty, but they are fighting for every inch of land at the negotiating table.

As soon as the envoy left, Matsudaira Motoyasu immediately summoned his close ministers and announced the course of action.

"Everything is under control at the moment."

This sentence did not cause any reaction from the retainers, but he added:

"Including those wealthy families who refuse to be recruited, it is also in my plan. This matter will be explained by Yoshichiro later. ”

Together with Shichiro, i.e., Ishikawa and Shichiro Shumasa, and Sakai Tadaji were Matsudaira Motoyasu's right and left hands, and his work was more inclined to the field of civil affairs such as domestic affairs and foreign affairs.

Only then did everyone look sideways, and their faces showed surprise.

"It's my job to grasp the big picture, so I won't let you down, and you all have your own responsibilities."

A faint sentence, but it shows the strong self-confidence of the owner, and it is a vague expression of trust and encouragement, mobilizing everyone's emotions.

Matsudaira Motoyasu is similar to Imagawa Yoshimoto, with short legs and a bloated body, he is really not a beautiful man, but between his gestures, he has a terrifying bearing, which can make his subordinates fight bloodily.

Waiting for the retainers to calm down again, Motoyasu stepped forward and continued:

"The envoys of the Kira family have agreed to act at the same time the day after tomorrow, so I expect that the Kira family will inevitably march alone tomorrow at the latest, but in a hurry, it is difficult to find out exactly when they will go out, so I will divide the team into three teams, each with a hundred people, and appear at different times. I led a team alone, one with Shichiro (Ishikawa Shumasa) and Saemon (Sakai Tadaji). This is also to reduce the target, so that the Kira family will not find out about our dynamics. ”

There are only 300 people in total, but they have to be divided again, which can be described as a tactic that subverts common sense, but with the previous foreshadowing, everyone does not feel unacceptable, but only takes it for granted.

Whatever means Oda Nobunaga used, he simply gave orders, and never bothered to explain his ideas to his retainers, let alone consult with others, and if his retainers could understand and improve on their own, they would often be put to good use. Matsudaira Motoyasu would tell the detailed plan, analyze the pros and cons with the retainers at the same time, persuade the other party to accept the plan willingly and complete the work, and if there was a different opinion on the matter of wisdom, he would also discuss it with him one by one, and choose the one who is good to follow.

"In addition, Hanzo, you continue to deal with Kira's ninjas, try to hide the news of the three teams of our army, and pass on the news. If it's really difficult, don't be reluctant, I only take a hundred people, advance and retreat freely, you should take self-protection first. ”

"My subordinates know."

Hattori Hanzo is still in a cold and emotionless tone.

Matsudaira Motoyasu seemed to have received a very satisfactory response, and no longer asked, but turned around and began to announce the situation of the detachment.

And then the most important command.

"After discovering the Kira army, the tail was immediately available, and it was not until the other side began to attack the city that it appeared. This battle does not require a major destruction of the enemy army, but rather the prestige of our Matsudaira family, and the capture of Yoshiaki Kira or Tominaga Tadamoto is the first priority.
