Chapter 431: The Southern Family's Reaction

In fact, Harimasa Minami's current mood is not very beautiful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the past, Southern Harumasa did not take the Tsugawa family seriously at all. The reason why he signed an alliance with the Tsugawa family was also to support the Tsugawa family to contain the Ando family, so that he could free up his hands to deal with the Spo family and the Nanoka family.

However, Nanbu Harumasa never expected that the strength of the Tsugawa family and the Anton family seemed to be comparable, but in fact, the Anton family was not the opponent of the Tsugawa family at all. Now, the Tsukawa family suddenly defeated the Anton family, and it almost beat the Anton family back to their Ezo hometown.

The instantaneous change of situation directly disrupted Nanbu Haruma's plan, and now Nanbu Harumasa has to consider the threat posed by the Tsugawa family to the Nanbu family.

"Nobubo, has the story of the battle between the Tsugawa family and the Andong family been discovered?" Nanbu Haruma hesitated for a moment and said to the stone turtle letter room sitting in front of him.

Shi Gui Xinfang hurriedly replied, "My lord, although I can't find out the specific process, I can still get a lot of information from some of the Anton's routs. ”

"Originally, Anton Shunji wanted to block the Tsugawa family on the south bank of the Miyogawa River again. As a result, the Anton family's navy was suddenly defeated by the Tsugawa family's navy, and the Anton family, who had lost the navy, would be useless if they continued to defend Midaigawa. So Anton Shunji retreated to the area of Mount Suhe and Mount Balong, southwest of Hiyama Castle, but he was defeated here and himself was defeated and died. The stone turtle letter room said with a sigh.

Minami Harumasa nodded and continued to ask, "But as far as I know, the Anto family was defeated by the Tsugawa family in the area of Mount Suzuru. And the battle lasted no more than 3 hours! This is a great battle of thousands of people, how can it be so quickly over? ”

In the cognition of Southern Qingzheng, even if he leads the troops himself, in this kind of large battle of thousands of people, even if it is the final decisive battle, it will take several days to distinguish the winner and loser, how can it be possible to win the battle in only half a day? This is also what the southern Harimasa has always been puzzled about.

"Could it be that the combat power of the Tsugawa family is already so strong?" Nanbu Qingzheng muttered involuntarily.

Ishigui Nobubo frowned and said, "My lord, according to what the ninjas of the family learned from the rout of the Andong family, in this battle of Suzuru Mountain, a large number of Ando family ashigaru and samurai died suddenly, without warning. caused the Anton's army to be in turmoil, and it was only then that the whole line was defeated. ”

"Could it be that God is helping the Tsugawa family?" Shi Gui Xinfang said puzzled.

Nanbu Qingzheng shook his head and said slowly, "Whether or not God is helping the Tsugawa family, in short, the strength of the Tsugawa family is beyond doubt. Now, the Tsugawa family, which is several times stronger than the Ando family, suddenly borders on the territory of the main family, which is not good news. ”

"How is the Asari family doing lately?" Nanbu Harumasa continued.

"The Asari family has also undergone drastic changes recently, the head of the Asari family, Asari Zeyou, and the important minister of the family, Kadowaki Masayori, killed the three brothers of Asari Dinglai, who control the real power of the Asari family, and the power of the Asari family has been controlled by Asari Zeyou." Stone Turtle Shinfang continued, "Da Ge Shenglai is attacking Ducobalt City, the home city of Asari Li Zeyou, but the battle is not going well. Ducobalt City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Da Ge Shenglai's troops alone cannot capture Ducobalt City. Two days ago, Da Ge Shenglai also sent people to ask for help from his family. ”

"Asari Zeyou, Da Ge Katsurai........" Nanbu Harumasa lowered his head and thought about something, and after a while, Nanbu Harumasa suddenly said, "Immediately send troops to support Da Ge Katsuyori, and capture Ducobalt City before the Tsugawa family reacts." ”

"The Tsugawa family has just acquired the territory of the Andong family, and it will inevitably take some time to consolidate the newly acquired territory. This is the perfect time for us to take the city of Ducot. Nanbu Harumasa said excitedly, "This matter is in charge of you, you are in charge of the house, and the family currently has to deal with the invasion of the Spo family and the Langoka family, and for the time being, it will not be able to fully support Dage Katsurai." ”

"I will make the Antlers your strength to take the city of Ducobalt before winter. In this way, with Ducobalt City in front of it, even if the Tsugawa family will pose any threat to the family in the future, it will not be able to directly attack the family's territory. Nanbu Haruma said with a smile on his face.

The Binai area resembles a basin and is isolated on three sides by the Ou Mountains, with only two mountain roads leading north to Ishikawa Castle in the Tsugaru region and east to Antago-gun. As long as you control Ducobalt City, you will be able to establish a buffer zone between the southern family and the Tsugawa family. In the future, even if the Tsugawa family and the southern family go to war, then the Tsugawa family's forces can be kept out of the territory of the southern family.

"Hah! With the help of the Antlers, we will definitely be able to capture Ducobalt City! The stone turtle letter said with confidence.

Antler-gun is located in the middle of three areas: Dewa Akita Gun, Mutsu Iwate County, and the Michinoku area (the Mutsu region of Mutsu Province, in the northernmost part of Michinoku Province). There has never been a force here that can dominate the entire county, and there are many people of the wealthy country in the territory. In the past, the southern family of the Andong family wanted to dominate Antler County, but the two families fought around this place for more than ten years without success.

The southern family's sphere of influence in Antler County is mainly controlled by the Naganiu clan, the lord of the Naganiu Castle of the southern clan and the Oyu clan, the Da Li clan, and other local forces, and is located in the northern part of Antler County. The wealthy families in the western region have always been subordinate to the Anton family before, while the eastern region is the grass on the wall, and whichever one in the south and the Anton family is stronger, they will take refuge in whichever one is stronger.

"However, if you capture Ducobalt City, will Da Ge Shenglai have a gap with his own family for this?" Stone Turtle Nobubo continued.

"Humph!" Nanfang Qingzheng snorted coldly, and said disapprehantly, "He's better to know the current affairs, otherwise the family won't mind destroying him together!" ”

"Xinfang, you are the person I trust the most, I hope you don't let me down this time." Nanbu Harumasa continued.

"Hah!" The stone turtle letter room hurriedly replied affirmatively.

After a while, Nanbu Harumasa then turned his head and said to Kita Zhiai on the side, "Captain Saemon, you get ready, and you will leave for Tsugawa's house in the near future to pay respects to Tsugawa Soji." In addition, he asked him to return the 15,000 territories that the Ando family had previously occupied in his family's Akita County to his family, and the family was willing to pay 3,000 yuan as a reward. After speaking, Nanfang Qingzheng's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Bei Zhiai was stunned when he heard this, and said puzzledly, "My lord... When did the family have a territory in Akita County? How do you not know below? ”

"Idiot! I said yes, and that is! Nanbu Harimasa said angrily, "The point is not whether the family has it, but whether he Tsugawa Soji has not returned!" ”

"I see." Beizhiai is not really stupid, but he was just stunned by Southern Qingzheng before. Now that I hear that the southern Harimasa has said this, how does the northern love not understand the meaning of the southern Harusa.

"But in this case, the conflict between the main family and the Tsugawa family is probably inevitable.........." Beizhi couldn't help but think of in love.
