Trout Shoumitsu's concern is not unreasonable, at present, the north of Takasuisera Castle is the army of Pig to Quanyi and Shizukuishi Quanzhen, and to the south is the Hao clan alliance led by the Barnyard Kanjia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If Spo Tsujina continues to hold his ground at Takamizu Temple Castle, he will certainly be able to resist the enemy's attack with the strong cage castle of Takamizu Temple Castle. However, once Inogo Kanyoshi defeated Shikita Kankane and others in Iwate Prefecture, then Takasuidaji Castle was surrounded by that time.

Even if Gaoshuiji Castle still stands, but the rest of the area has been captured, then Gaoshuiji Castle will be reduced to an isolated city, which will be meaningless. Now there is only one way in front of Spo Quanzhen, and that is to take the initiative!

"Yes, my lord!" Trout Morimitsu's words were agreed by Shirai Kiyomoto, "The best way for the family to do it now is to take the initiative." Either take the lead in repelling the barnyard family and others, or send a part of the army to contain the barnyard family, and then go north to support Lord Shida. Assist the family's forces in Iwate County to defeat Inogo Kanyi and others. ”

"Once the family takes the lead in repelling any of the barnyard Guanqing family and the pig to interpret the meaning, then the family is already invincible. At this time, those wavering wealthy families will also take the initiative to move closer to their own family, and then their family can concentrate superior forces to destroy the rebel forces in the territory in one fell swoop! Shirai Kiyomoto said excitedly.

However, after listening to the words of Shirai Kiyomoto and Trout Morimitsu, Spo Kanma fell into deep thought.

After a while, Spo Quanzhen shook his head and said, "However, if you abandon Gaoshui Temple Castle and go out of the city to fight, what if the Ichiyi family is defeated?" At that time, even if we want to cage the city again, we can't do it, and the only thing we can rely on at the moment is Gaoshui Temple City! ”

"Let's wait for reinforcements from the Tsugawa family at Takasui Temple Castle!" Spo Quanzhen said with a firm face.

Looking at Spo Quanzhen's expression, Shirai Kiyomoto and Trout Morimitsu looked at each other helplessly, then shook their heads and stopped talking.

Ueno Castle and Soharu Tsugawa also learned from Jiro Iwaki that the Spo family had begun civil strife. In addition, the envoys of Spo Kanma and Pig Go Kanyi came to Ueno Castle once a day to seek support from the Tsugawa family.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although the pig Quanyi side occupies the initiative in the war, the Spo Quanzhen side is not at a disadvantage. It can be expected that, if nothing else, this civil strife in the Spoo family will turn into a protracted war.

And as an ally of the "Spo family", whichever side the Tsugawa family supports, it is inevitable that which side will win.

However, Soharu Tsugawa also has his own considerations.

"Although the civil strife in the Spo family is indeed a great opportunity to infiltrate the forces in the Mutsu area, I always feel that there is a black hand behind the civil strife in the Spo family." Soharu Tsugawa sat in the house and fell into deep thought.

"The biggest possibility is the southern home. According to the temperament of Nanbu Qingzheng, he suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Spo family last year, and he will definitely take action. And a complete Spo family, even if it is inferior to the southern family in terms of strength, it is not easy for the southern family to defeat. Then, Nanbu Qingzheng will definitely find a way to make the Sibo family unstable, so that the Nanbu family has a great chance of winning. The more Tsugawa Soji thought about it, the more certain he became that the civil strife of the Spo family was inseparable from the southern family.

"However, there is no movement in the southern part of the country right now. It stands to reason that when the Si Po family is in civil strife, the southern family should attack quickly and destroy the living force of the Si Po family as quickly as possible. But until now, the southern family still has not sent the slightest sign of troops, which is incredible. Soji Tsugawa slowly touched his chin, thinking about the pros and cons of sending troops from the southern family.

"Report!"

"My lord! Tazawa City urgent! Takahashi Xingjia quickly ran in from the outside and said eagerly.

"But what's the latest movement on the Spoo family?" Soji Tsugawa looked up and said suddenly.

"Hah!" Takahashi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then replied, "My lord, Lord Tozawa of Tazawa Castle sent an urgent messenger to report!" This morning, Iwasuizu Yoshitada, the lord of Ishishimizu Castle, surrendered to Shizukuishi Kansada after holding out for seven days. Abe City was also captured by the pig to Quanyi, and Abe Quanzhen died in battle. ”

"Shimodakan's Shimoda Kankan, together with Fuji Masahide and Johoji Shigemasa, is confronting Pig Senyoshi and Shizukuishi Kansada at Abe Castle." Takahashi continued.

"In this way, on the Iwate Prefecture side, Spo Kanjin has 1,500 troops, while the Pig Sen side has less than 1,000 people. In this way, in Iwate-gun, Spo Kanzan still has an advantage. ”

"And as long as Pig Tsukiyoshi and Shizukuishi Kansa are firmly held back by Shikita Kankan in Iwate County, then Takasuidaji Castle will be safe." Tsugawa Soji was just halfway through speaking, when he suddenly frowned, and then turned his head and said to Takahashi Xingjia with a solemn face, "Xingjia, you just said that Johoji Shigemasa in Iwate County also led the army to join?" ”

"Hah!" Takahashi Xingjia said with an affirmative face, "Originally, when the pig went to Quanyi to attack Iwate County, Johoji Shigemasa did not participate in the war. However, at present, the Jofa Temple Shigemasa is indeed taking the Ashigaru of the Jofa Temple family to fight with Shikita Kankane. ”

"Smack!" Soji Tsugawa slapped his thigh, stood up from the ground suddenly, and said loudly, "That's right!" I'll tell you why the Nanbu family has been holding their troops for a long time, and it turns out that they are waiting for all the forces of the Spo family in Iwate Prefecture to fall into a battle before sending troops. In this case, even if the Spoo family has the heart to resist, they will not be able to fight back! ”

"Southern Qingzheng is really a good calculation!" Soji Tsugawa couldn't help but praise him, and then said, "Xingjia, give an order immediately!" ”

"Naogo Miki, Shuichiro Yagyu, Hirohiro Tsumiki, Michiki Michiwei, Tohi Kinie, Yoshikawa Hiroie, Ichiro Yamamoto, Masashige Tozawa, and Moritsuna Tozawa immediately mobilized all their forces and assembled at Tazawa Castle within ten days! Heavy penalties for latecomers! ”

"Also, send an order to all the cities of the family to prepare for war! An order was sent to Date Keimune of Minato Castle that once the main family and the southern family went to war, they would immediately intercept the ships of the southern family passing by, and send their naval troops to cruise in the waters near Minato Castle, and all the merchant ships leading to the Nanbu family and the Anto family in the Mutsu area were detained! ”

"Then send an order to Kiuchi Nagaru and Akechi Mitsuhisa and others, pay close attention to the movements of the Andong family and the Asari family, and send detectives to investigate the movements of the wealthy clans in the Tsugaru area and the Binai area, and be ready for battle at any time."

"Finally, I sent an order to the subordinate Nishima Innai family, the Miura family, the Fiftyme family, the Takizawa family, the Yajima family, the Akao Tsu family, and other wealthy clans, and immediately mobilize the peasants and soldiers in the territory, and be sure to rush to the area around Tazawa Castle within 20 days."

"Let Asama Yoshitaka prepare the armaments and food needed for the war and transport them to Komatsuyama Castle to stockpile! Then let Takahashi Kokuni serve as the castle representative of Niga Hojo, and the troops of the main family in Ri County obeyed Takahashi Kokoku's orders. A wealthy clan that tightly defends the Hazen region! Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

"War is inevitable!"
