Just when the generals of the Takeda family were talking about it, but no one could come up with a good countermeasure. Eventually, Takeda Shingen turned his gaze to his cronies, the military advisor Kansuke Yamamoto: "Kansuke, do you have a good plan?" ”

"Mikan-sama once said: 'Six-point victory (five points of victory in battle is the best, seven points of victory is the middle, and ten points of victory is the bottom.' A five-point win makes people continue to be self-motivated, a seven-point win wins slackness, and a ten-point win makes people proud and arrogant. If you win a 10th victory in a battle, you will inevitably be proud, and you will be defeated. This is true of all things unless it is war; The winner of 6 or 7 out of 10 is a victory of 10 percent, a victory of 80 percent is dangerous, and a victory of 90 percent or 10 percent will inevitably lead to a great defeat for our side)'. If you want to win a complete victory against Qianxin and Chaoding, it is a fantasy and a fool's dream. If so, then our army might as well fight for this six-point victory! Kansuke Yamamoto pointed in the direction of Mt. Yamamoto and said slowly.

"Fighting for a six-point win?······ What do you mean by that? Shingen Takeda asked suspiciously.

"This is how the woodpecker hunts—two woodpeckers, one guarding the front of the wormhole, and the other goes around the back of the trunk and pecks violently, and the insects in the hole can't stand it, so they naturally come out of the hole, and then it becomes the meal on the plate of the woodpecker guarding the entrance of the cave. Soon there will be a thick fog, which will last until dawn. At present, our army has more than 66,000 troops, and these forces are divided into two routes. The road began at sunset tonight, and the mountain road entered from Kiyono. The team set off on the riverside of the Quchuan River, in the area of Yawatagahara, and set up a position to wait for work. If the army begins to move, the enemy will certainly be aware of the movement of our army and pay close attention. The enemy may think that our detachment will enter the mountain road from Kiyono and climb Mt. Tsume from Senrenwa to attack its back, so the enemy will need to choose between defending Mt. Tsume to meet it or attack. According to the minister's speculation, the enemy may have thought that it would be more advantageous to attack our own army by sorting, because once the large army entered the mountains, it would be difficult to move, so the enemy army would attack our own team from the mountain of Tsuma-me. However, the partial division of our army pretended to enter the mountain, and did not actually go up the mountain, but hid in the mountain behind Kiyono, and waited until the enemy began to move before attacking his back and flanks. As a result, it is obvious that the Uesugi army will be attacked from both sides, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army. Kansuke Yamamoto did not disappoint Shingen Takeda and immediately offered his strategy.

"What if the enemy army does not go down the mountain and guards Mt. Tsumi-me and Mt. Saijo?" Just when Takeda Shingen suddenly realized and marveled at the cleverness of this strategy, Sanada Yutaka, who was the head of Shinano's ancestors, questioned this. After all, the castle was built on Mt. Saijo in the 23rd year of Astronomical, and then it had been under the management of Saito Asanobu, a close retainer of Kenshin, for seven years, and there must have been a lot of grain and grass in the castle, and Saijo Castle, like Kaizu Castle, could not be conquered by attack.

"At that time, it may already be dawn, and we can cut down wood to open up a road, establish an attack base behind Mt. Tsuma-me, and attack Mt. Tsum-me and Mt. Saijo step by step, and it is only a matter of time before the Uesugi army is driven down the mountain, and our own team only needs to intercept the Uesugi army and annihilate it." Since Yamamoto Kansuke has been in battle for a long time, the strategy he came up with is more suitable for the Takeda army in the current situation.

"Kansuke, you're saying that our army is going to take action in this thick fog, right?" Shingen Takeda asked with some twinkles in his eyes.

"Yes, if our army tries to use the cover of the dense fog to attack the back or flank of the Uesugi army, then this thick fog can be said to be a gift from heaven." Kansuke Yamamoto felt that the fog had come just in time.

"I already know the reason for the roundabout surprise attack in the thick fog, but if the Uesugi army is going to rush down the mountain with a plan, when will this be?" Shingen Takeda wanted to know the exact time.

"Since it is very likely that our partial division will start to move after midnight, it will be around midnight to enter the back mountain of Kiyono. After resting there for a while, dawn was about to come, and the fog would dissipate at dawn. Even if it doesn't dissipate, it's not as thick as at night, and you can see at least about ten to twenty miles away. According to Yichen's speculation, if the Uesugi army would descend the mountain, it would probably not be in the thick fog of the night at this moment, because in such an event, the enemy and the enemy would not be able to fight. He thought that no matter what, the Uesugi army's main army would wait until the mist began to dissipate before taking action. The enemy thought that the enemy wanted to lure our detachment deep into the mountains before that, but the main team of the Uesugi army quickly sent troops down the mountain and went straight to the location of our army's main position. If the enemy left behind to defend Mt. Tsuma-me and Mt. Saijo was nearly 10,000, and the rest of the forces were to attack our main formation, the strength would be about 30,000 to 35,000, while the strength of our own team would be more than 40,000, so the two armies would be evenly matched for the time being. At this time, the partial division of our army attacked from behind the Uesugi army, and it was able to launch a two-sided attack on the Uesugi army, and soon the Uesugi army would collapse and disintegrate. Kansuke Yamamoto was a good man, and when he heard his detailed explanation, it seemed as if the plan could be fulfilled.

"What if the fog doesn't dissipate? Do you think the Uesugi Army won't take action? Takeda Shingen was a little uneasy about this and continued to ask.

"According to the minister's speculation and questioning the local people, the Uesugi army will not take action lightly unless the fog clears or dawns, so they will not start fighting until the fog clears." Kansuke Yamamoto continued to explain the feasibility of the plan to Shingen Takeda.

"Yes." Takeda Shingen nodded after listening to Kansuke Yamamoto's words, he seemed to be a little moved, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

"What will happen if the Uesugi Army takes measures that will be calculated according to the plan?" At this time, a family member of the pen Takeda Nobushigeru spoke and questioned Yamamoto Kansuke. Takeda Nobuhiro and Takeda Shingen have a clearer mind except for their similar appearances. And Takeda Shinhiro always hides his talents, he thinks about his brother Takeda Shingen everywhere, and often rarely speaks in military meetings, he has always valued his brother Takeda Shingen. In the past war, Nobuyoshi Takeda has also been on a thankless task. Now because of Takeda Nobuyoshi's speech, the eyes of the important ministers in the family instantly turned to Kansuke Yamamoto.

"What do you mean by taking measures that will be calculated according to the plan?" Kansuke Yamamoto asked Takeda Shinshihiro politely.

"What if the Uesugi army had an insight into our army's battle plan and attacked the main camp in the thick fog before the fog dissipated? In this way, our army's partial division will have to wait in the mountains, and when it encounters such an occasion, not only will it not be able to annihilate the Uesugi army, but it will be very unfavorable to our side. Takeda Nobuyoshi directly saw the loopholes and flaws in Yamamoto Kansuke's plan.

"Nothing like this can happen!" At this time, someone spoke, and the speaker was Takeda Katsuyori, the young lord of the Takeda family, who moved his knees forward slightly and continued: "The Uesugi army is less than 50,000, so why worry about it. If the enemy pours into the nest, it is like a moth to a fire. Even if our army was in the middle of the mountains, it would not be difficult to defeat the Uesugi army with the strength of the main camp alone. After all, Takeda Katsuyori was young and vigorous, and he had never had the experience of defeating the battle, and he had thought that the Uesugi army was only as strong as this after Sagami defeated the Uesugi army several times, so he thought that the Takeda army would definitely win this battle.

"Shenglai, you have to speak in a measured manner, and fighting together is not a matter of tongue alone, but by relying on war horses, swords, bows, spears, and iron cannons." When Takeda Shingen taught Takeda Katsuyori such a lesson, Katsuzi Shibu, who was the rear officer and assistant of Takeda Katsuyori, couldn't sit still.

"The minister thinks that the words of the young lord (Takeda Katsuyori) are quite reasonable, if our army is divided into two routes, and when the army is supported by most or all of the enemy's military strength with one force, it will be temporarily at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but once the battle is carried out, it will be very beneficial to our army, because although the Uesugi army is brave and good at fighting, it is no match for our army's horseback samurai and akabei, and this is what the young lord means." Although Katsushi Takeda's support for Katsuyori Takeda broke Shingen's heart, Shingen Takeda didn't want to continue to mention it at the moment. He raised his eyes to look at the faces of the two important ministers, Nobubo Baba and Masanobu Takasaka, who had been silent. Among them, Takasaka Masanobu was previously Takeda Shingen's most trusted surname. In the past, important ministers such as Itagaki Nobukata, Ganli Torayasu, and Komai Takahakusai were close retainers of Takeda Shingen, but now this position has been replaced by younger retainers such as Baba Nobubo and Takasaka Masanobu, and Takeda Shingen also wanted to hear the opinions of the two of them.

"It's really worrying about the fog." The horse farm letter room said thoughtfully at this time. "The conditions for this fog are the same for our army and the Uesugi army, and although the Lord of the Imperial Palace said that this fog is a godsend, it is also possible that the enemy will take advantage of this god-given opportunity, and this is the meaning of what the Warden wants to say." Unexpectedly, Baba Nobubo supported Takeda's opinion.

"Mikan-sama, can you wait until the fog clears before leaving the city? Our side owned the impregnable Kaizu Castle, and had sufficient grain and grass in the castle, but most of the Uesugi army relied only on the food they had brought with them, and the road back to Echigo was blocked by this castle. Therefore, the Uesugi army had to go down the mountain, and that was the best opportunity to annihilate the Uesugi army in one fell swoop. Please ask the Lord of the Imperial Pavilion to suspend the dispatch of a partial teacher to Mt. Tsumi-me. Takeda Shinshi said after slowly moving his body in front of his brother Takeda Shingen. Takeda Shingen had never seen Takeda Shinshihiro speak to himself like this, so he had to take a step back and continue to think about it.

"Please suspend the dispatch of a partial teacher to Mt. Tsuna-sama." Takeda Shinshi's voice shook Takeda Shingen's heart.

"Warden, you mean a heaven-sent opportunity to help the enemy, right?" Shingen Takeda began to hesitate.

"A godsend is a great opportunity to help those who don't do it." Takeda Shinshihiro's words stimulated Takeda Shingen's heart, because the so-called inaction person obviously refers to the Uesugi army. Takeda Shingen looked at Takeda Shinshihiro's face, and Takeda Shinshihiro's face showed a pleading look.

Takeda Shingen seemed to see his own face in Takeda Shinshihiro's face, and others said that the two of them looked alike, so when he saw Takeda Shinshiori's face, it was like seeing his own face in a mirror. Shingen Takeda closed his eyes. (In fact, in his own heart, like Takeda Shinshige, he wants to seek the most secure way of fighting, and steady combat is Takeda Shingen's consistent style.) Never go to war unless you are confident, this is the true Takeda art of war, but war should not be limited to these. If you want to win the world, sometimes adventures are inevitable. When the heaven-given opportunity comes, if you don't grasp it in time, it will be difficult to have a prosperous day. Now is a godsend, and if you don't make a desperate bet, you won't be able to annihilate the Uesugi army. Unless the Uesugi army is expelled from Shinano Province, it is impossible for the Takeda army to march towards Kyoto through Tokaido) After a while, Takeda Shingen opened his eyes, and he looked at the light of the candle not far away. Takeda Nobuyoshi and the surrounding ministers seemed to be urging Takeda Shingen to make a decision immediately, and looked at Takeda Shingen in unison.

"The Warden's words are reasonable, and if this war had happened five or ten years ago, I would have done what he said. However, the current situation is different, and if we miss this opportunity, we will lose the great opportunity to annihilate the Uesugi army forever. Although I knew that this move was dangerous, it was inevitable that I would pay some sacrifices. In order to completely expel the Uesugi army from Shinshu and prevent them from stepping into the land again, it was sometimes necessary to pay a heavy price, which was also the practice of this era. Takeda paused for a moment, but found that no one had spoken. Takeda Nobuyoshi lowered his head at this moment, and all the important ministers present were silent.

"I'm going to swear to the Banner and the Void. In order to annihilate the Uesugi army, I decided to adopt the strategy proposed by Kansuke Yamamoto. Shingen Takeda continued after seeing that no one was speaking. Takeda Shingen mainly thought that once the time dragged on, the 20,000 Uesugi troops left behind in Echigo-neck-gun would quickly move south to merge with the 10,000 Uesugi troops remaining in the areas of Iiyama Castle, Naganuma Castle, and Zenko-ji Taira, and if that time came, it would be the Takeda army and not the Uesugi army that would be annihilated by the two-sided attack. Therefore, Takeda Shingen intended to quickly start a decisive battle with the Uesugi army.

As soon as Takeda Shingen's words fell, the important ministers all knelt on the ground. The so-called imperial flag is a Japanese chapter flag given to Minamoto Yoriyoshi, the pillar of the Genji clan, by Emperor Reicum after the Heian period; And 楯 no is the small cherry Wei Wei armor, the armor of the ancestor of the Takeda family of Genji Saburo Yoshimitsu, the son of Minamoto Yoshiyoshi, and the armor of the Taka family ancestor Silla Samura Yoshimitsu, which means that this armor is strong and does not need to be defended. All the important ministers present knelt down to listen to Shingen's words. Because swearing to the Imperial Flag and Tsunamu is something that is not something to be done lightly. Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need to continue to hesitate. As if they had all been under a spell, the ministers knelt on the ground for a long time. Just when the Takeda Army was ready, a dark shadow quietly left Haijin City.

The leading officer of the partial division was Sanada Yutaka Sho, the head of the Shinano Shoka, and the deputy general was Baba Nobubo, the deputy generals were Oyamada Nobushige, Oyamada Toramitsu, and Ohata Toramomori, and Aiki Masato, Oyamada Masatsun, Hara and Sozaemon, who were familiar with the terrain of Kita-Shinano, were also incorporated into this partial division, and the strength of each division reached 20,000 after the merger. It was already midnight when the divisions of the partial division received the order to attack, and they had decided to wait until sunset before setting out, but because the thick fog had already covered the area around Kawanakajima by this time, it was convenient for the Takeda army to march in a roundabout way. They use ninja torches, which are used to act in stealth and smoke, but do not cause flames. One of every twenty people carries a torch that sparks when it is wielded to give directions. All the people are not allowed to speak out without permission, and the war horse is crowned. Just as this detachment set off, the team led by Takeda Shingen also left the city immediately afterwards and went to the beach of the Chikuma River to set up a formation.
