"Lord Yoshikawa, please forgive me for agreeing with this!" As soon as Yoshikawa Hiroka's words fell, Totoki Yoshimori, who was sitting on the side, retorted very facelessly, "The lord once said that even if the combat strength of the Ashigaru of the family is twice that of the enemy, and the number of the Ashigaru of the Ashigaru of the family is several times that of the enemy, there can be no carelessness!" β
"Although the number of enemy troops in the city is not as large as that of the main family, and the combat effectiveness of the ashigaru is even more different, but Lord Yoshikawa, don't forget that it is such a group of rabble that has brought much trouble to the family!" Totoki Yoshimori continued, "If it weren't for Lord Abe and Lord Iwaki finding out the true situation of Kawahara Goshin and others in time this time, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark!" β
"So what does Totoki-sama think?" After hearing Totoki Yoshimori's words, Yoshikawa Hiroya did not show any anger, but humbly asked for advice.
Toshi Yoshimori said slowly, "There was a break in the Antler County before the next one, although the scale was very small, there were only a few dozen people, but the reason was the same. β
"Every time a thrash erupts, the morale of these mobs will be very high in the first period of time, and they can often form a very considerable fighting force. But when the time goes by, or the war is not going well, the morale will instantly fall into a plate of loose sand! β
"In my opinion, we might as well surround Kawahara Castle and besiege it without attacking it. Just wait for a while, Kawahara Castle will be self-defeating! Toshi Yoshimori said with a smile on his face.
Hearing Totoki Yoshimori's words, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Togo Yoshiyu, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded, "What Totoki-sama said is reasonable, then let's wait a few days." β
"In addition, send a herald to inform the lord of the situation in the Mutsu area, maybe the lord has a good proposal?"
"Haha!"
.......
The fact that Kawahara Castle was surrounded by Togo Yoshisuke and others is not known for the time being, but the situation in the Hazen area has changed again.
Approaching June, the spring ploughing work in the Hazen area has largely ended, and after the spring ploughing is a good day to send troops, and the most senior Yoshimori who is bent on defeating the various divisions and integrating the territory finally can't help it.
Even though there were rumors during this time that the goal of the Tsugawa family was actually the Mogami family itself, Mogami Yoshimori scoffed at it.
Just kidding, if the Tsugawa family really had any intentions for the Mogami family, wouldn't there be a good excuse last year? Moreover, the Tsugawa family was also extremely generous to the Mogami family's theft of the musket, not only that, but after that, they sent someone to send a batch of gunpowder and lead pellets, and sent a special person to explain the operation and use of the musket to the people of the Mogami family, which saved the Mogami family a lot of trouble for the unfamiliar musket.
Not only Mogami Yoshimori, but also some of the retainers of the Mogami family also thought that the performance of the Tsugawa family was obviously a show of goodwill to the Mogami family, so Mogami Yoshimori was unsuspecting of the Tsugawa family at all.
Inside the castle tower of Ueno Castle, the messenger of the Mogami family, Mogami Yoshiba, slowly stepped into the castle tower.
Every samurai who comes to Ueno Castle for the first time can't help but be amazed by the size and prosperity of Ueno Castle, after all, the scale of Ueno Castle can really be called majestic and extraordinary for the entire Ou region.
"Lord Tsugawa has admired the name for a long time, and it was really worth the trip to see it today!" Seeing the young Tsugawa Soji, who was not talkative, Mogami Yoshibo sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Regarding Mogami Yoshimori's praise, although Tsugawa Soji showed a happy look on the surface, he actually had no fluctuations in his heart.
"Where is it, the most important adult has won the prize, and the family is just luck, if you talk about talent, the adult can only be a hundred times that of the family. At this point, it can only be really difficult to get into the hall of elegance. Soji Tsugawa replied unusually modestly.
And the more modest Tsugawa Soji showed, the more admiration in Mogami Yoshibo's heart became.
"It's worthy of being the person who can make the Tsugawa family develop into a powerful place here in a few years, just by virtue of this, Mogami Yoshimori is far from that little child!" Mogami Yoshibo's heart couldn't help but compare Mogami Yoshimori with Tsugawa Soji.
"Lord Tsugawa, today I am here to ask for help from Lord Tsukawa on the orders of the lord of the family!" After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Mogami Yoshibo said, "According to the agreement between you and me last year, when the family sends troops to the Tiantong family this year, the Tsugawa family will send troops to support the family according to the agreement!" β
"Now that the spring ploughing has ended, the troops in the family have almost been mobilized, if nothing else, the troops will be gathered in half a month and march towards Tiantong City! I just don't know what doubts Tsukawa-sama has about this matter? After speaking, Mogami Yoshibo set his eyes on Tsugawa Soji on the main seat.
Soji Tsugawa looked at Mogami Yoshibo with a smile and said nothing, but his heart blossomed, "That's what you're waiting for!" β
However, Soji Tsugawa still pretended to be embarrassed, lowered his head and remained silent.
Looking at Tsugawa Soji's expression, Mogami Yoshifang's heart tightened, "What?" Does Tsugawa-sama have any difficulties? β
"Ugh." Tsugawa Soji immediately sighed, "It's true, the recent situation in the family territory is also very unoptimistic. β
"Recently, there has been abnormal turmoil in the territory of my family, and more than a dozen attacks have occurred in the Mutsu area, and the voices of the people in the territory are boiling and there are many complaints! The family is worried that there will be a possibility of an outbreak in the Mutsu area, so most of the family's troops have already left for the Mutsu area, so I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about Mogami-sama's proposal! Soji Tsugawa said helplessly.
However, to the surprise of Soharu Tsugawa, I originally thought that Mogami Yoshibo would be disappointed or angry when he said this, but what he never expected was that Mogami Yoshibo not only did not do so, but also had some feelings of happiness and joy.
Why is Mogami Yoshibo rejoicing and joyful? The reason is simple!
Mogami Yifang and Tiantong Lai Chang and others have already communicated.
For a long time, Mogami Yoshibo was extremely dissatisfied with Date Sect's direct letting Nakano Yoshikiyo's son inherit the head of the Mogami family, but because the Mogami family had been weak for a long time, Mogami Yoshibo did not dare to refute the meaning of the Date family.
But now that the Date family is in turmoil, it's still too late to take care of itself.,The influence on the Mogami family has long been gone.,Plus the Mogami family has been out of the control of the Date family.,Mogami Yoshifang's mind is alive again.γ
However, there are still many inferiorities in the strength of Mogami Yoshibo compared to Mogami Yoshimori, and more importantly, the retainers of the Mogami family are extremely loyal to Mogami Yoshimori. Mogami Yoshibo also secretly wooed some of his retainers, but they were unsuccessful.
Therefore, in desperation, Mogami Yifang could only secretly reach some consensus with Tiantong Lai Chang and others......
Therefore, when he heard that the Tsugawa family could not send troops to support the Mogami family's attack on the Tendo family due to the mobilization of the Mutsu area, Mogami Yoshibo would show extraordinary joy and rejoicing.
Because, the ambition of the most righteous house and the Tiantong family have been firmly tied together, which can be described as both prosperity and loss. And without the intervention of the Tsugawa family, the position of the Tendo family will continue to be stable, until one day when the time is ripe, he will unite with Tendo Lai Chang and others to expel Mogami Yoshimori from the Mogami family, and achieve his ambition to control the power of the Mogami family.......
