This time he followed the Tsugawa family to Shangluo, and the original intention of the Hojo clan was to let the Hojo family also follow the Tsugawa family to mix up some experience, and by the way, let his new heir, the Hojo clan, go to gilding.

The Hojo clan's eldest son, the Hojo clan, died young, as in history, so the Hojo clan, as the second son, naturally became the new heir of the Hojo family. In order not to let the Hojo clan become a straw bag, and finally ruined the foundation that the three generations of the Hojo family had worked hard to build, so the Hojo clan Yasuchi thought about letting the Hojo clan follow the Tsugawa family to go to Luo to gain some knowledge.

Of course, considering that the Hojo clan is still very young, the Hojo clan Yasu specially asked the important minister of the family, Tominaga Naokuma, to serve as the deputy of the Hojo clan, just hoping that Tominaga Naokuma can mention the Hojo clan from time to time.

At the beginning, the Hojo clan did behave normally. Not only was he polite in front of the retainers of the Tsugawa family, but he resolutely looked like a "successor to the Hojo family".

However, the Hojo clan is a young man after all, and after staying in the small town of Uozu Castle, which doesn't for a month and a half, the Hojo clan has long been crazy. There is no view of Odawara Castle here, let alone the prosperity of Odawara Castle, and even the sake sold in the castle town has a sour taste.

And all of this was given by the group of bald donkeys of Kaga Ichishomune, if it weren't for the fact that Kamirako himself brought 3,000 people to fight this time, the Hojo clan would have gone to Kaga alone to settle accounts with Honkakuji Zhenghui and others.

Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at the Hojo clan unexpectedly, and then said with a smile, "I didn't expect the Shinkuro Hall to be so brave in the first battle, since this is the case, then this expedition to Kaga Yixiangzong, the Shinkuro Hall will serve as the vanguard!"

The heirs of the Hojo family all use the generic name Shinkuro, so after the death of the Hojo clan, the Hojo clan also changed its name to Hojo Shinkuro.

Tominaga Naokumi hurriedly jumped out at this time and said, "Hinata guards the palace, the young master of this family is young and impulsive, such an important military operation must not be such a child's play!" In the next opinion, such a heavy task should be held by the general of the Tsugawa family! ”

"Saburo Right Guard's Lieutenant Palace's words are wrong!" Pig Miao Dai Shengguo, who was sitting in the crowd, said: "The lord of this family just started to lead the troops to fight at the age of a weak crown, and it only took more than ten years to develop the Tsugawa family to the strong and prosperous it is today!" ”

"Don't underestimate the young people now!" Inowashiro Shengguo didn't mean anything else when he said this, he just wanted to pat Tsugawa Soji's horses, even if Tsugawa Soji himself was not here, but Inowashiro Shengguo believed that his words would still reach Tsugawa Soji's ears.

However, the Hojo clan didn't know this, he only knew that what Inawashiro Shengguo said was exactly what he thought in his heart.

The daimyo of Soji Tsugawa is now a household name in RB China, from ninety-nine to just go, who doesn't know the name of the Izuha Big Dipper? For young samurai like the Hojo clan, Tsugawa Soji was worshipped as an idol.

The deeds of Tsugawa Soji have even been specially compiled into one story after another and circulated in various places, influencing countless young people, and Hojo Clan Masato is one of them.

"Captain Saburo Uemon, this matter is decided, and this time the vanguard will be in charge of my Hojo family!" Hojo Clan Masato looked at Tominaga Naokatsu unquestionably.

Tominaga Naokatsu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth and he swallowed back, "That's it, since the young master has decided, then there is only the next order!" ”

"Good!" Akechi Mitsuhide clapped his hands, then took out a map of the Hokuriku region that he had already ordered to be drawn by someone from the side, and placed it behind him.

Akechi Mitsuhide stood up, pointed to the screen-like map, and said loudly, "The scale of the outbreak in the Kaga and Echichu regions is very large, and it is conservatively estimated that the number of people in the one is more than 100,000!" ”

"And these groups are mainly gathered in three cities, distributed in the shape of horns, and directly block the road of our army to Luo! These three castles are Hasunuma Castle in western Echichi, Tsuhata Castle in northern Kaga, and Oyama Gobo in central Kaga! ”

"Among them, the number of people gathered in Hasunuma City is about 30,000, and the number of people in Tsuhata Castle is about 50,000. Akechi Mitsuhide said slowly.

"Not only that, in addition to the outbreak, Kaga Ichijozong also has the support of the Jimbo family. The influence of the Jimboo family in the Vietaka region is not small, and the total number of troops mobilized this time is also about 7,000 people, in Fushan Castle! ”

"I think that if you want to attack Kaga's Ichijo Sect, it's best to defeat Fukuko City first!" It was Tiantong Laizhen, the head of the Tiantong family, who spoke.

After speaking, Ghost Court Liangzhi also echoed, "Fushan Castle is located in the hinterland of Yuezhong, if you ignore it, when the war breaks out between the family and the Yixiang Sect, its advance can attack the rear of the family, and the retreat can intercept the logistics supply of the family!" So Fukuyama Castle must be fought first! ”

"Fukuyama Castle ........" After listening to the words of Oni Ting Ryonao and Tendo Yorizhen, Akechi Mitsuhide tapped the floor in front of him and fell into deep thought, "Fukuyama Castle is surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to capture Fukuyama Castle, but I'm worried that the siege will take too much time! ”

"If it is.... If only there were Portuguese cannons! ”

Fukuyama Castle is a castle built during the Astronomical period, located on the east bank of the Jintong River, and is a tributary of the Jintong River to the south and north, and is surrounded by water on three sides.

Although there is a word "mountain" in the name, Fukuyama Castle is a serious flat castle. The castle walls are made of stones, and in addition to the natural barrier of the Shintogawa River, which is surrounded by water on three sides, two additional water bori have been excavated, which is called "Mie Hori"!

It can be said that it is not easy to capture such a city!

It's a pity that the cannon of the Tsugawa family was pulled directly to Wakasa by ship, and it was not easy to transport such a bulky thing by land, so I went directly by sea. No one expected to meet Kaga Ichikozong on the road, otherwise it would be much easier if there was a cannon.

"Can I just bypass Fukuyama Castle?" At this time, Gamo Hisashi suddenly spoke: "We can let the Shiina family and the Noto Hatakeyama family send troops to contain the Jinbao family forces in Fukuyama Castle, and then directly bypass Fukuyama Castle and directly attack Kaga Ichishozong!" ”

Akechi Mitsuhide pondered for a while, and after careful consideration, he decided to take Gamo Hisakiyo's suggestion, "This time we are not trying to destroy Kaga's Ichizuna, but to open a path to Wakasa!" The war between the main family and the Miyoshi family is about to break out, and the lord is still waiting for us to go to the battlefield, so everything must be hurried! ”

"This battle must be resolved quickly, and it is best to be able to have a big decisive battle with Kaga Ichikozong!"

"Hah!"

Akechi Mitsuhide asked people to put away the map, and then continued, "Where is the Shiina Emon Doctor's Hall now?" ”

"According to this, Matsukura Castle is more than fifty miles!"

"Quickly send someone to invite Shiina Uemon Doctor's Palace! In addition, send someone to write a letter to the Hatakeyama family, the head of the Noto Hatakeyama family, to repair the doctor's hall, and ask the Hatakeyama family to cooperate with the Shiina family to send troops to Fukuyama Castle! ”

"One special note, it's not to let the Hatakeyama family and the Shiina family fight with the Jimbo family, you just need to contain the forces of the Jimbo family, and don't let the Jimbo family take advantage of the chaos to attack and disturb the family!"
