Chapter Seventy-Two: Hidden Dangers in the Army

In Guofutai, the temporary camp of the army under the command of Tsukahara Molong was full of laughter. Although most people feel that the first battle of Kokufutai was very difficult, but they defeated the Hojo family, the overlord of the Kanto region, then they can enjoy the fruits with peace of mind, and everyone begins to think about how much benefit they can get. After all, Tsukahara Molong swept through the country at the beginning, and a large number of wealthy families were also wiped out. Especially the vanguard under the command of Marshal Zhou, although the casualties were the heaviest, but the Hojo Army killed the most, coupled with Marshal Zhou's promise before the war, they were even more full of expectations.

However, none of the high-level officials who knew the battle damage on both sides showed joy: in the first battle of Kofutai, the number of people killed in the battle under the command of Tsukahara Moryū reached 1,700, and countless people were injured, and the corpses left by the Hojo army ...... Only more than eight hundred! Although some people were killed in battle and their bodies were snatched back by the Hojo Army, such a casualty ratio made everyone unhappy.

Tuqi broke the silence when Lai first spoke: "My lord, although we have won this battle, the losses are too great, and I am afraid that we will not be able to launch a large-scale war in a year or two." ”

Akita Ieji also nodded and said: "That's right, the good war of the Hojo army is indeed terrifying, we can unite the Imagawa family, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family to suppress the Hojo family diplomatically, so that it can no longer start a war." ”

Heiji didn't speak, just looked at Tsukahara Moryū silently, and Sakai Toshifang also spoke, "We really need to recuperate to regain our strength." "In this battle, the Sakai family suffered heavy losses, but it also gained greatly, if Tsukahara Molong exchanged the reward, the Sakai family would be greatly strengthened, so he desperately wanted to go back and regain his strength.

Zhou Dashuai still looked like a hanger, as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him, in fact, in the process of fighting with the Hojo Army, Zhou Dashuai had never killed a person at all, so it was very leisurely. Sasaki Nagahide due to the final decisive assault, let the cavalry team under his command suffer more than half of the casualties, but he was originally going to cut his stomach to apologize, but he was stopped by Tsukahara Molong, and at this moment kneeling beside Tsukahara Molong, looking lonely and silent.

Tsukahara Moryū glanced at everyone, saw Tsukahara Senbei who wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, and Tsukahara Nagakei, who was silent, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Tsukahara Nagakei knelt down and said: "The little one thinks that the top priority at the moment is to prepare the army for hegemony in the future. ”

Tsukahara Senbei was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I think...... Now it is time to immediately repair the camp and prepare to meet the Hojo army. As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and both Inukai Yoshio and Tsukahara Moryū were eyelids jumped, and they looked at Tsukahara Senbei.

Tsukahara Molong smiled and nodded, "Are Senbei worried about the Hojo Army attacking again?" It makes sense to say that the order will go down, immediately prepare the camp, and strictly guard against the surprise attack of the Hojo Army! As he spoke, he changed his words and said: "You let each wealthy family report their respective incomes, remember that it is not Shi Gao, but income!" I know that in many places, the income from land is actually only a small part of their income, so it is no longer appropriate to rely solely on stone heights to distribute military service. ”

"Ha !!" Everyone responded in unison, although they didn't agree with Tsukahara Chibei's words, but Tsukahara Moryū's request for them to report their respective incomes did make them very excited, because it meant that the redistribution of benefits was about to begin. However, although Tsukahara Molong's way of measuring the strength of the wealthy clan is better than the simple stone high system, if the wealthy families are allowed to directly report their income, I am afraid that many people will be afraid of taking on too many obligations and deliberately underreporting the territory, right? It's better to check the land yourself.

Just as he was about to advise himself to check the land, Tsukahara Moryū continued: "As for the wealthy families who are not registered, they will have all their territories confiscated because they are not under my jurisdiction. ”

Plain words mean infinite killing, those wealthy families who died in battle and those who did not bring troops will be completely wiped out from the territory of Tsukahara Molong. I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground...... Many of you here are veterans who have been tested on the battlefield for a long time, so their immunity to murderous aura is not ordinarily strong, but the momentum that Tsukahara Molong inadvertently exudes still makes them feel suffocated, because it is evil energy, the evil energy accumulated by killing too many people! A breath that terrifies all life! There is also a trace of death that ordinary people can't detect......

Just as everyone was receiving the order, a herald suddenly shouted from the periphery: "Urgent battle report!" ”

"Bring it in!" Tsukahara Molong seemed to be very surprised, and everyone was puzzled, where did the battle report come from? When Tsukahara Molong opened the file, he shook his head: "The Oda family really doesn't know how to die, thinking that our main force is fighting with the Hojo family here, so we can't afford to take care of the rear, and send 4,000 people to attack the lower country." Yoshio, you lead 7,000 troops to meet the battle! "After several major battles, the Oda family, the overlord of the Hitachi Kingdom, is also declining, and only 4,000 people were used to attack! But after all, it is still possible to send reinforcements, and Tsukahara Moryū sent it away so lightly, so that everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

After everyone dispersed, Tsukahara Molong showed a trace of helplessness, the combat effectiveness of the army under his command was not ordinarily low, but all the guys under his command were not strong enough to swallow elephants, and they had to be thoroughly cleaned.

No one noticed that the herald had just come to the crowded place to change his clothes, and together with the others, he carried a large number of ox carts and carts into Tsukahara Moryū's camp. The car was full of wine and food, and in the mouth-watering onlookers, it began to be distributed to the various military forces, except for Tsukahara Moryū's 7,000 troops who had not been allocated because they had already been promoted. And the supplies that should have been given to them were placed in their tents. Heiji came to inquire about Tsukahara Molong suspiciously, but was told that it was just a reward prepared by Tsukahara Molong in advance, and it was just transported in advance to reward the soldiers after the war was over. Heiji immediately proposed to collect it first and distribute it after the troops were withdrawn, but Tsukahara Molong refused, but he also sent an order to each military camp to announce the commandment: no alcohol before retreating, and strict precautions against enemy attacks, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law!

The people who have been allocated the rewards ostensibly said that they strictly implemented Tsukahara Molong's orders, but in fact they were disdainful, and they just told them to take strict precautions, so they sent down the military supplies for the reward, so that the order changes day and night, who cares about your orders? Zhengmu Shizhong and others even felt that although Tsukahara Molong was good at fighting, he was too young after all, and they were worried about being excluded by Tsukahara Molong after the war, so they contacted various wealthy clans, prepared to hold a group, deliberately underreported the territory Shigao, and agreed to unite to deal with Tsukahara Molong when the evaluation was held in the future.

By the time they finished their meeting, night had already fallen, and although the camp had been temporarily fortified, the guards were chatting absentmindedly, and Toki Yoriharu, who had returned from the camp tent of the Masaki family, staggered back to the Toki family's station with a bottle of wine, but was told by the samurai who approached him that Toki was looking for him.

"Father, father, ......" Toki Laichun didn't even speak fluently, but before he finished speaking, Toki Laichun slashed at him with a scabbard, Toki Laichun was stunned at first, and hurriedly wanted to dodge, but how could he dodge when he was already drunk? was knocked to the ground by Tuqi Weilai, covering his face and screaming.

Seeing his son wailing on the ground, Tuqi reprimanded with a blue face: "It's just a scabbard just now, if the enemy swings a knife and slashes at you, you will be dead!" "Although many people have relaxed, Toki does not dare to let down his guard at all, not to mention that tonight is indeed a very good opportunity for the Hojo Army.
