Shinano Castle is in the eastern part of Kasugai County, and Kiyosu Castle, the seat of the Oda family, is also within Kasugai County—and more importantly, Oki Village, where Honhide is currently located, is also in this county, only thirty miles away from Shinano Castle, less than a day's journey if the march is fast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the Imagawa army takes advantage of the victory and pursues it westward......

In one day, a militia of up to seventy or eighty men could be mobilized, and with the defensive strength of this dilapidated earthen fortress, as long as the opponent's army of three or four hundred men drove to the city gate, the people in the city, including Hite, were left with only two ways to go: martyrdom and surrender.

In this case, I really can't calm down......

At this time, it was the end of September of the second year of Yongroku, and the autumn harvest had begun in the East China Sea. According to the analysis, the invasion of the Imagawa family's army, that is, the historical barrel narrowness, should be next year. Later generations of gamers look at history, and their eyes are only focused on that magical night attack, how many people will pay attention to the small actions before?

Fan Xiu leaned over slightly to check the folding fan, but saw the frightened expressions of Maori and Hattori.

If the commander is in chaos first, the people below will only be more at a loss.

As soon as he thought of this, a sense of responsibility suddenly welled up in Fan Xiu's heart.

When I think of the three-month-old baby in the womb of the zygote, this sense of responsibility is immediately magnified tenfold.

So I finally came to my senses.

"There's too much paint on this folding fan, and if you're not careful, your hands will slip." Hoshu smiled lightly, "Kotota went to gather everyone, as for Shinsuke-do you know any details?" ”

Hattori Koto bowed down and turned away. Mori Shinsuke straightened his clothes before he stepped forward to answer.

"It is said that last night the Imagawa family sent Matsudaira Ieji, the former lord of Shinano Castle, with three hundred men, to cross the Yasakugawa River at night and rush to the edge of the castle, and then Matsudaira Ieji contacted his old department in the castle to open the castle gate......"

Last night? It's getting close to evening now. Besides, there are only 300 people, and it seems that the other party will not have the idea of chasing after the victory for the time being. Fan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask:

"And where did you hear about this?"

"The news has begun to spread in my family, and I heard it from my former colleagues......

"It's been spread all over the place? What's the news? ”

"It is said that the Imagawa family has gathered forty or fifty thousand troops, and they will attack Owari within a month!"

This one is definitely a rumor.

Fan Xiu shook his head and said nothing, but he didn't mean to refute the rumors.

Before long, the people who were staying in the city ran over.

After Hattori Kohei was too snobbish, he knelt down on one side with his head bowed, and his face was full of grim expressions.

Then came Marumme Nagae, who was not the slightest nervous, but full of anticipation and a little eager to try.

Only Kawada Nagakin, Masuda Nagamori and Hirate Hideyin showed a certain degree of panic and fear.

Matsui Yukan, who maintained a calm pace, naturally fell behind.

In this case, there was no need to greet each other, let alone the mood to talk about the scene, and Hisho Tsunohide just opened the Owari map on the table straight to the point.

"The latest battle situation, all the monarchs already know."

As soon as these words came out, the retainers who had finally calmed down couldn't help but make a few more noises, except for Matsui Yukan and Marume Nagae, everyone else was talking to each other.

Seeing this, Fan Xiu was not annoyed, but just waved the folding fan and smiled lightly. Whether in his previous life or in this life, he did not have the powerful spiritual power that Taishan collapsed in front of, but after experiencing countless events, he finally learned to wake up from his shock quickly, and not indulge in a panicked state of mind and suffer from gains and losses.

"You haven't started a war yet, are you already scared?" Fan Xiu got up and looked around at everyone, and his voice unconsciously raised a few degrees.

"Your Highness!" Hattori Koheita suddenly came out and replied, "It is the duty of samurai like us to fight to the death for the king!" ”

Is it duty to fight to the death? Although his loyalty is commendable, it is not auspicious to say this before the war.

"I am willing to die for His Highness with my eldest brother!" Kotota couldn't help but run over to talk.

These two guys...... Fan Xiu didn't know whether to be relieved or annoyed.

"Maori wins...... He also fought to the death with His Highness. The third person who showed loyalty appeared, but Fan Xiu felt that this sentence was obviously a bit insincere, and it seemed that the loyalty was still not as good as the first two retainers.

"If Your Highness needs to break through, you only need to bring the Marumme Tibetan Zoto." Marumme Nagae's answer showed great confidence, but obviously, he was not optimistic that the Oda family would win.

"Elder brother." Honxiu's cousin, Hisho Xiuyin, stepped forward with a door etiquette and asked, "The main family and Suruga Imagawa have been at war for many years, and they have always only won and lost each other. This time, it is said that Imagawa has gathered tens of thousands of troops, which is probably just a rumor! ”

"Whether it's a rumor or not, you can send someone to investigate. However, the Imagawa family's invasion of Owari in half a year was not surprising to me. ”

The sound of involuntary inhalation sounded on the other side. This young highness, although he was not yet twenty years old, saw and spoke far more than his contemporaries.

There is no shortage of empty talkers in any time and place, and those critics who are completely incapable of making correct predictions in advance and only boast after the fact have always been the objects of ridicule. However, people who can make reasoned inferences in advance and are successful are often trusted, worshipped, and even superstitious and deified.

It is a tie in the hearts of his retainers, and he has long established a mysterious and wise image.

For a while, no one questioned how Hohide learned that the Imagawa family would attack within half a year.

"Well, the preparatory work will be distributed now." Fan Xiu was about to lift the pen, but suddenly his heart moved, so he summoned Xiuyin to step forward to take on the work of the secretary.

"Bring me the amount of money and food that is stored in the city." Honhide looked at Matsui and Masuda on his right.

"Yes." Matsui was prepared, took out the account book in his pocket, and found the data he needed.

Existing in the city:

Fifty-two taels of gold, one hundred and nineteen taels of silver, sixty-eight taels of money, and four hundred wen;

In total, about 400 yuan, at the current scale, there are no economic problems.

134 stone of rice, 40 stone of Western crops (sweet potato, peanut and corn);

These are enough for a reserve of 80 people to last a year, and the estimated number of military service in the collar is 80 people, but some strategic materials still need to be procured......

"Niemon (Masuda Nagamori), you are responsible for the purchase of fruits, vegetables and seafood, and the budget is 60 ...... No, eighty times. Out of humanitarianism, Fan Xiu finally raised the food standards of his subordinates.

This kind of work, which does not involve fundamentals, is naturally left to the people with the lowest level of trust.

twenty-five pairs, thirty bows, and twenty-seven spears;

These are all "stolen goods" from the collusion between Fanxiu and the officials and businessmen of Yuyueya, most of which are new, but the militia generally bring their own equipment. These things are wasted.

"Ten pairs of bows and spears are left for each, and the rest are given to the strong men of the villagers, who are recruited according to the military service certificate and need to be trained...... The captain is Koheita, Shinsuke is the deputy, and the guide is handed over to the Tibetan Sa. You don't need to teach any advanced kendo, just practical skills on the battlefield - by the way, the autumn harvest should be almost over, right? ”

"It will be over in two days at the earliest."

Masuda stepped forward to answer.

"Very well—Kotota continues to inquire about Mikawa's news."

"As soon as the income and expenditure should be paid, please ask your friends to be responsible for scheduling."

"Yes."

"As for Tatsunosuke, let's continue to serve as Yubi."

"Yes!"

The retainers did not seem too flustered, but there were quite a few of them, showing a look of eagerness to try, which made Fan Xiu feel a little comforted.

The Imagawa family had not moved troops on the Western Front for six or seven years.

Owari people said that after the death of Taiyuan Yukisai, there was no one left in Imagawa who could be handsome

Some people say that Imagawa Yoshimoto has become addicted to vocal music and his fighting spirit has worn out

In other words, the people of Suruga are weak, and the people have long been war-weary and war-weary

However, it took only one day for Suruga to acquire the five castles of Owari. The first two lines of defense of the Oda family had collapsed, and a nail had been inserted into the rear.

Even Honshu thought that the barrel sagama would definitely happen next year, and missed the time to prepare.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Maeda Toshiya has been arranged.
