"Oh? The memory of the leader is really poor, and he forgot about the Battle of Hayue only a few years ago. Hojo Shiyasu, who was dressed in silver-white gorgeous armor, looked at the information sent by the wind demon Kotaro and said with a smile, the scar on his face looked even more hideous. This time, the Kwantung princes attacked in groups, and the total number of troops mobilized was as high as 100,000, and the Hojo family generals were also frightened overnight, and they couldn't stop worrying. But this time, seeing that his lord was so confident and calm, he slowly relaxed. It can be said that the hopes of the entire Hojo family are pinned on Hojo Shiyasu alone. Hearing Hojo Shiyasu mention the Battle of Kose, all the soldiers couldn't help laughing, that incomparably brilliant victory not only consumed most of the Uesugi family's heritage, but the Kanto forces were no longer competing with Hojo for hegemony in the Kanto region for several years. Five years have passed in a flash, and now that the Kanto Heroes are attacking again, all the generals are confident that they will expand their territory under the leadership of Hojo Shiyasu.

After glancing at the retainers, Hojo Shiyasu spoke: "Tsunari! ”

"Hah!" The first major general of the Hojo family, Hojo Tsunari, responded to the road. Originally, he only escaped from the Imagawa family, but after being accepted as a member of the Hojo family, he assisted the Hojo clan in the conquest of various places, and the Battle of Kawayue led the lone army to face the siege of 80,000 troops, and fought to the death, and finally made the Hojo clan Yasu achieve great success. After this battle, Hojo Tsusunari selected the backbone of the army that followed him to defend Kawaetsu Castle for the rest of his life, and based on this, he rebuilt the Jade Rope Clan, and because they were all wearing yellow armor, they were also called Huang Bei, and their combat power was the best of the Hojo family. He himself is also known as "Rehmannia Hachiman".

"In this battle, you lead the Jade Rope people and the Edo people, unite the Chiba family, and suppress the offensive of the Satomi family."

"Ha !!" Hojo Tsunari confidently responded. Although at this time, the Satomi family sat on the land of Anfang, the land of the two countries of the Upper Zong and the first part of the lower general country, and according to the intelligence, the number of troops that might be dispatched was more than 20,000, and the strength was far above him, but the more this was the case, the more excited Hojo Tsusunari became, and Huang Bei, who had been built by the army for five years, finally had a stage to show his strength.

"Tominaga Naokika!"

"Hah!"

"Lead the Nirayama and Shimoda clans, and be responsible for the defense of the Imagawa family and the Takeda family."

"Swear to the death to complete the Lord's entrustment!" Naokakatsu Tominaga, who had a somewhat haggard face, replied loudly, as the most mobilized retainer of the Hojo family, the commander "Seibei", he had been sitting in Nirayama Castle, responsible for the defense of the East China Sea giant, Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Kai Tiger, Takeda Shingen, both of which were strong and sharp, so the pressure was huge.

"Duomu Yuanzhong!"

"Hah!"

"The Southern Musashi army is under your control, and you can't let the Uesugi family enter Southern Musashi alone!"

"Hah!" Tamu Mototada has always been known for his wisdom, and this time he commanded the military strength of the Southern Musashi Kingdom and the "black preparation" under his command, and the strength of the army even surpassed Tominaga Naokatsu.

"Everyone else is under my direct jurisdiction, follow me!" Hojo said. Although the retainers collegial system had always been adopted, since the night battle of Kawagoe, Hojo Shiyasu has become more and more authoritative in the family, and the decisions he makes are basically unanimously approved by the retainers.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Tsukahara Moryū has also changed from excitement at the beginning to impatience...... The wealthy families of Kita-Shinano have people like Sanada Yukitaka who come early in the morning, and there are also a bunch of procrastination, and often the larger the territory, the slower they come. After mobilizing layer by layer, I have to prepare for the material problems before the expedition, especially this time I didn't fight at home, I had to run to Musashi Country, and the logistics and supply problems that I didn't have to care about before suddenly made many wealthy families numb. Although there are a lot of grain reserves, it does not mean that you can collect grain directly after the war, and it is still early in summer, so you can't use too much reserve grain, so you have no choice but to go out to buy grain...... Sanada Yutaka, as a prophet, hoarded food early, and those who were slow to respond after receiving orders faced soaring food prices. If there is not enough food, we have to go further afield, resulting in a long waste of time. It's just that the group of samurai around him still look like they're taking it for granted, and they're not in a hurry at all, so it's a? The soldiers are fast, so many people are gathered here and waiting for them to come without food?

After training the people of the Demon Dragon Society, Tsukahara Moryū couldn't help it, so he went to the Uesugi Constitutional Office to ask for battle. Uesugi Kenmasa first praised Tsukahara Moryū's war-seeking mentality, and then told him that it was not time for him to do so, hoping that after the war, Tsukahara Moryū could continue to maintain the fighting spirit of the status quo, and the angry Tsukahara Moryū almost pulled out his sword and chopped this goods. However, fortunately, Tsukahara Molong did not have much hope for this matter, and through Uesugi Kenmasa's veto of his request for war, he put forward a request to form Moryūbei.

"Mo Longbei?" Uesugi Kenmasa almost thought that he had misheard, although he had known about Tsukahara Moryū's formation of the Demon Dragon Society for a long time, and he only thought it was a young man's joke, but the formation of a reserve team was not just a formation for himself, not to mention that Tsukahara Moryū was not an official samurai, but was only responsible for the inspection.

"Hah! I plan to gather the second sons and young sons of the samurai family who have no inheritance rights to form the Molongbei and use it as a death squad. ”

"Huh?" Uesugi Kenmasa's face softened, he also knew these people, if he left it alone, he would be his own son no matter what, and he couldn't bear it, but he was overtrained and worried about affecting the status of his eldest son, so he could be said to be the most embarrassing group of people. But think about it from another angle, they are all samurai, and their families are all under their own command, so they don't have to worry about loyalty, so it seems really good to be a death squad. And with them in hand, even if the wealthy families under their command want to rebel, it's a big deal to slaughter them and replace them with a successor. Extinction of the family name is the most terrible for a samurai family, and rebellion is precisely a big crime, so once it rebels, the resistance is often very tenacious, but if it is just a change of family governor, there will not be such a big backlash. Well, not bad, not bad.

The more Uesugi Kenmasa thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea, and anyway, these people couldn't take on any command tasks in their respective families' military forces, and once the war started, they would charge as ordinary samurai. In that case, there is nothing to let them be death squads, and those families must not have any objections.

"Okay, but Mo Longbei is responsible for guarding the main formation, and he is not allowed to leave without an order." Uesugi Kenmasa spoke, ignoring Tsukahara Molong's surprise and waved his hand: "Stand down." It's not that Uesugi Kenmasa is not worried about Tsukahara Molong's loyalty, in his eyes, Tsukahara Moryū is just a martial artist no matter how much he can fight, but the night battle of Kawagoe has brought him a huge psychological shadow. Therefore, you need to keep such an elite by your side at all times to protect yourself.

Tsukahara Moryū opened his mouth, but after all, he smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, and retreated. He kind of understood why Sanada Yutaka would throw himself to Takeda Shingen in history, and Uesugi Kenmasa was indeed not a master. If you don't have the ambition to dominate the world, with the assistance of Nagano Yesamasa and Kohata Kenshige, you can be a king who keeps the success, and you can face the Sagami Lion...... Tsukahara Moryū couldn't help but look worried.

"What's wrong, Molong?" Sanada Yutaka saw the sad face of Tsukahara Molong who came back, thinking that Molongbei's matter was vetoed by Uesugi Kenmasa, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "Even if Molongbei can't form a ......"

"No, Lord Guan allows the formation of Molongbei." Tsukahara Molong sat on the ground with his buttocks, looking at the chaotic camp tent in the distance in a daze.

"Huh?" This time it was Sanada Yutaka who was surprised, this is not just an ordinary reserve of some samurai to lead the peasant soldiers, it is an elite composed of all samurai, although the number is less than a hundred, but hundreds of samurai charge collectively, and I am afraid that there are few reserves in Kanto that can resist head-on. The Lord Steward wouldn't be unaware of the terrifying strength of such a constant team, so why would he approve it?

"Lord Guan Ling wants Mo Longbei to guard him and protect his safety on the battlefield." Hatefully grabbed a handful of grass and threw it away, Tsukahara Moryū explained.

"This ......" put such a force by his side as a guard? Sanada Yutaka was also shocked. After all, Uesugi Kenmasa has 3,000 banners around him to protect him, so how afraid of death must he be...... "Maybe it's to protect us, after all, we haven't been trained to form formations." When he said this, Sanada Yutaka himself didn't believe it.

In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, there were many fierce men who pressed the flag book to fight, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga and others are like this, among them, Uesugi Kenshin is the most excessive, often personally leading the flag to charge, the fourth battle of Kawanaka Island almost cut down Takeda Shingen, although others can't do it to such an extent, but once the war is tight, these elites who were originally responsible for protecting the daimyo will be sent to the battlefield without hesitation. At this time, however, the troops' will to fight was not so strong, and the contest between the daimyo was not so fierce that the battle between the daimyo was not so fierce, and the flag was usually responsible for protecting the daimyo from retreating. Uesugi Kenmasa has done an excellent job of this. As early as the night battle of Kawagoe, the Hojo clan Yasushi led a large army to break into the main camp of the coalition army, and most of the senior generals of the coalition army were killed, but Uesugi Kenmasa escaped. On the one hand, the troops under the command of the Hojo clan Yasushi are indeed not many, and they cannot cover everything, and on the other hand, because the flag under the command of Uesugi Kenmasa is almost inseparable from him. Even at the most critical moment of the siege of Kawagoe Castle, Uesugi Kenmasa resolutely rejected the proposal to dispatch his own banners, so the combat power remained the most intact. Since then, Uesugi Kenmasa has become more superstitious about his own flagship, and the number of people has expanded from 2,000 to 3,000 in one go. With such a strong army but unwilling to use it, it's really disappointing for a lord like Uesugi Kenmasa......

"Kotaka, you say, can we win this time?" Tsukahara Molong lay on the ground and looked at the sky, and asked helplessly.

Sanada Yutaka was taken aback by Tsukahara Molong, and quickly looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one had noticed this. complained to Tsukahara Moryū: "You can't talk nonsense about these words, it will be very troublesome to be heard." ”

"It's okay, whoever talks nonsense will cut out his tongue." Tsukahara Moryū didn't notice that Sanada Yutaka was referring to him: "Seriously, Lord Nagano and Lord Kohata were both famous generals at the time, if only one of the two assisted Lord Guanling, although this battle was difficult, it was still very promising to capture Minami Musashi." After all, the Hojo family is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and they can't concentrate all their strength on a decisive battle with us. However, both of them are under the command of Lord Guan Ling, and they are very incompatible, but Lord Guan Ling does not have the courage to subdue the two, so even if they are both loyal to Lord Guan Ling, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do anything to pull each other's back. ”

This time, Sanada Yutaka did not stop Tsukahara Molong, but chose to remain silent, and Tsukahara Moryu's words were exactly what he was worried about. "And what are you going to do?"

"Me? What I'm pursuing is the ultimate in martial arts, as long as I can kill people and practice swords, what do I care? Tsukahara Moryo smiled bitterly.

"The ultimate in martial arts?" Sanada Yutaka also sat down: "If this is the case, you will not take the initiative to participate in the formation of the Minowa people, nor will you go to Kohata Akabi to learn from it, right?" This time, it is proposed to form Molongbei, tsk tsk~"

"My martial arts are different from many people."

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Sanada Yutaka's eyes narrowed slightly.
