Chapter 332 Strategic Shift

"This is completely unnecessary," Honda Masashi refused bluntly, "I can't hide it, my family has sent 6,000 soldiers to the main battlefield to support Torii Sakyo, and now there should be 10,000 troops in the local area, which is enough to deal with 12,000 people in Yuuki, Wasuka, and Fujido. ”

"Not to mention that 10,000 against 12,000 is a disadvantage, there are still 5,000 in the Toyotomi army who are the Imperial Horse Houses of the Right Prefecture, and King Kong Bei is also following the Fujido Civil Department to support, you actually turn a blind eye to this situation, and you feel that it is enough to deal with it? Is it Shimochi or Uenosuke deliberately hiding something from the family? ”

Matsuno Shigemoto stared at Honda Masamune, which made Honda a little dazed: "Concealment? What do you mean? ”

"Chongyuan, if you have any doubts, don't worry." Kobayakawa Hideaki also "encouraged" on the side.

Seeing this, Matsuno Shigegen had no choice but to sigh heavily, and analyzed: "Regardless of the disadvantages of the main battlefield, you insisted on asking your family to attack Yuyuan at night, is there no hidden reason in this?" Your army has 8,000 soldiers at the Yubara Higashi Pass, why don't you let them attack first, but wait for your own family to be the vanguard? Obviously, the Uchifu was reluctant to accept the remaining 8,000 Tokugawa troops on the northern flank, and instead used the main family as a substitute for the dead ghosts to charge into battle, and after the main family and the Toyotomi army were both defeated, the Tokugawa army stationed in the area could reap the profits and capture Yubara in one fell swoop. Uenosuke, do you think what you said is reasonable? ”

Honda Masa's pure anger did not fight anywhere, and in the face of Matsuno Shigegen's accusation, he immediately scolded loudly: "Blood spews people! My lord treats Jin Wu as an ally, how could he do such a degrading thing for the sake of petty profits at such a critical moment? The Tokugawa family has always been loyal, loyal to the Taiko and Toyotomi clans, and hopes that Jin Wu will be aware of it, and will not miss the opportunity to fall for the tricks of Xiaoxiao. ”

"Treacherous?" Matsuno Shigegen smiled coldly and asked rhetorically, "Then please tell me about Uenosuke, why don't you let the forces of Okubo and Kamihara attack first?" They have the Tokugawa family's banner in their hands, and their strength should be on par with Yubara's Toyotomi rebels, right? ”

"This ......," Honda Masashi choked for a moment. To be honest, Tokugawa Ieyasu did have some selfish intentions in doing this, but Kobayakawa's 13,000 troops were rare and powerful allies, and at such a critical juncture, he did not intend to solve them all together.

But Matsuno Shigegen's guess was indeed a few points right, and in this case, Honda Masashi was embarrassed. Take care of him.

Seeing this, Kobayakawa Hideaki suddenly understood a lot in his heart, but because of the plan he had just made, he pretended to be calm and said: "Uenosuke, I only believe in the evidence, before there is no evidence. I won't believe Chongyuan's speculation, please rest assured. However, out of consideration for the safety of my family's army, I also cannot accept this suggestion from the inner government. At present, the safest way to support is to go to the main battlefield to participate in the battle, and other than that, we do not accept any other options. ”

"Jingo!" Honda Masashi listened and hurriedly persuaded, "If you do this, you will disrupt the plans of the Inner Palace!" ”

"Suke Ueno. At such a critical juncture, has the inner government ever considered for its own family? Kobayakawa Hideaki slapped the table and scolded: "Now that the Uesugi clan has been defeated and defected, Tanaka and Nagamune's two families have suffered heavy losses, and Shimazu and Kuroda have not turned against each other as the Uchifu wants, so only one of your allies of the Tokugawa clan is still capable of fighting, even so." Does the inner government also want to push it down to the fire pit? If so, the covenant would have been torn up! ”

"Jin Wu is angry!" Honda Masajun bowed deeply and begged bitterly: "This is all the fault of the foreign minister, I hope you can wait for a while, and then the foreign minister will consult my lord for this opinion, and then return to Utagawaso to consult with you." ”

"That's all there is to it," Kobayakawa Hideaki scoffed at Honda Masamune. "But don't blame me for not reminding me, there are many dreams at night, and the matter of the surprise attack must be decided as much as possible, so as not to be exploited by the Right Mansion."

"It's nature." Honda stood up and saluted respectfully. Accompanied by Shigegen Matsuno, he left the main camp and galloped towards the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp.

Back in the main camp, Honda Masasumi immediately conveyed Kobayakawa Hideaki's opinion to Tokugawa Ieyasu as it was, and Honda Masanobu, who was on the side of the staff, was taken aback, he didn't expect that Kobayakawa Hideaki would be so tough at the moment, not only did not follow Ieyasu's instructions, but proposed a completely different plan. Although a hundred were unwilling, due to the situation, Honda Masanobu still proposed to Tokugawa Ieyasu that he accept Kobayakawa Hideaki's suggestion and instead raid Hideho's main camp from the main battlefield.

"Zhengxin, don't you think Jin Wu's toughness is a bit unusual?" Tokugawa Ieyasu did not directly express his position on Honda Masanobu's suggestion, but asked on his own.

"Jin Wu is completely like a different person!" Honda Masanobu nodded approvingly, "He used to be respectful to you, and besides, the surprise attack on Yuhara has a far greater chance of success than participating in the main battlefield, so I really can't figure out why he is so resolute." ”

"I think there are two possibilities, one is that the situation in Yubara has changed dramatically, so that Kingo feels that there is no hope of winning, so he decides to refuse; Second," Tokugawa Ieyasu paused, "Kingo has some ulterior motives, and he must enter the main battlefield to achieve it." These two points, no matter which point, will be a fatal threat to the family. ”

"Then you mean, rejecting Kingo's offer?" Honda Masanobu asked, "If this angers Kingo, the family will really be an enemy." ”

"Refusing now, it's better than the harm caused by Jin Wu's defection after inserting himself into the main battlefield, right? But before I tell Kingo, I want to find out what is behind it. With that, Tokugawa Ieyasu summoned Hattori Masanari to his ear, whispered him, and sent him out, while Honda Masasumi was asked not to return to Utagawaso for the time being, and to make other plans after the ninja army found out the news.

About half an hour, Hattori Masashi returned to the main camp in the dust, he first looked around, and then leaned on Ieyasu's ear to support a few words, only to see Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes glaring, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, but looking at everyone's concerned looks, he finally just bowed slightly, signaling Hattori Masanari to continue to investigate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think the reason for Jin Wu's abnormality is already very clear." Tokugawa Ieyasu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Not long ago, the 37,000 troops of northern Sichuan had arrived in Yubara, and the opportunity to surprise attack Yuhara had been missed. It seems that the last chance to win the battle has been lost. ”

"More than 30,000 troops gathered in Yubara?!" Honda Masanobu was shocked, "If the news is true, wouldn't the three parts of Higashiyamaguchi, Okubo, Kamihara, and Honda be in danger?" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded: "That's right, if it weren't for Jin Wu's abnormal behavior, I wouldn't have thought of this, the whereabouts of the northern Sichuan army are so secret, it seems that they are preparing to attack Higashiyama Pass, where only Yasumasa's 3,200 people are stationed, and they are fundamentally resistant, even if the 8,000 people of Okubo Tadatsune and Honda Yasushige are transferred to reinforcements, it will be difficult to resist for a moment." It seems that only the line of defense was contracted, temporarily transferred. ”

"Temporary transfer?" Honda Masanobu couldn't believe his ears, "My lord, you want to retreat?" ”

"It's just to avoid the enemy," Tokugawa Ieyasu replied calmly, "If the Yubara area has no resistance at all, if it mobilizes heavy troops to resist stubbornly, the result can only be wiped out by the right government in a war of attrition." Instead of this, it is better to shift positions, temporarily avoid the edge, retreat to Kita-Shinano, join forces with local allies, and form a confrontation situation again, only in this way can we gather strength for the resurgence of the family, and at the same time buy time for the Mori clan in!
