After hearing this, the clan was a little moved, it seems that in the father-in-law's heart, he is even more important than his face, the more this is the case, the more the clan wants to let the father-in-law fulfill his wish, so the matter of sending troops, now he has made up his mind.

And the clan clan did not do this out of righteousness, he thought that once he helped his father-in-law eliminate Uesugi or severely damage him, then when he attacked Hojo, the Shibata family could also send troops to help him, and the army under his command was idle this year, so it was better to be active than that. So from this point of view, helping Shibata is also of great benefit to the family.

"Father-in-law, the clan has already thought very clearly about this matter, helping the father-in-law is also helping the clan itself, once Uesugi is eliminated, then the father-in-law can free up his hands to help the clan to deal with Uesugi, the strategic vision of the father-in-law is really unique, in order to help the son-in-law, it is really hard to think about it, and the son-in-law will not forget the help of the father-in-law."

Kindness? What's the situation, isn't this the clan sect helping him to attack Uesugi, and he became helping him while talking? But soon Shibata Katsuya understood, this is the clan is looking for himself under the stairs, helping himself, and letting himself not lose face, if he is hesitating, then I'm sorry for the clan's thoughts, thinking of this, Shibata Katsuya said: "Since this is the case, the old man is no longer hypocritical, and the old man immediately ordered someone to bring Zuo Zuo and Bupo to discuss this matter." ”

"The son-in-law also invited the military advisor from the family to discuss this matter."

Although it has become a foregone conclusion to help Shibata attack Echigo first, how to carry out the attack and how many troops to send. How to respond to unexpected situations. Once Hojo is eliminated, how will the benefits be distributed. These things can't be decided in a sentence or two, especially since the enemy is the Uesugi family, so you have to be more cautious, as the slightest mistake will lead to serious consequences. So since the matter was decided, the Shibata Katsu family and the Takayama clan did not continue on this topic, and in the following days, they just talked about family affection, and Shibata Katsu was in a good mood. also accompanied the clan, Sakura and their children out to play for a few days.

It wasn't until the arrival of Sasa Seimasa, Fupo Koji, and Honda Masanobu and Sanada Masayuki that Shibata Katsuya and Takayama clans returned to the castle tower.

Regarding the lord suddenly recruiting himself and Honda-sama from Kofu Castle to Toyama Castle, the two military advisors have basically guessed the purpose of this trip after continuous analysis along the way, after all, the lord must have come to discuss military matters, and the lord did not say anything when he left Kofu, which means that Shibata-sama must be attacking Uesugi and needs the help of his family.

Now that this conclusion has been reached. The two military advisors have already started to study along the way, Sanada Masayuki thinks. Once the family attacks Uesugi before the expansion is completed, then the territory can be a little empty, although it can be seen from the intelligence that Hojo's goal this year is to eliminate Utsunomiya and Satake, but who can guarantee that he will not change his strategy after knowing that his family is attacking Uesugi, so as to launch an attack on Kai, once this is the case, it will be too difficult for the family to withdraw when fighting against Uesugi, of course, if you persuade the lord to no avail, it is not without a solution, one is to send less troops, Try to ensure that there are enough troops in the territory in case you are unprepared, and the other is to seek the help of the Sakuma family when the family goes out to the army, although the Sakuma family has not completely controlled the Three Kingdoms, but the rest are all small wealthy clans, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated. Therefore, it can still be done by sending more than 10,000 troops.

And Honda Masanobu also meant this, and the two military advisors quickly reached an agreement on this point.

But as for how to fight against the Uesugi family, the differences between the two military divisions are relatively large.

Honda Masanobu had a very bold idea, he felt that once the army was sent to Uesugi, the family should go straight to Shinano, seize Shinano Takai-gun as quickly as possible, eliminate the Takanashi family, and then use this as a springboard, and the peak of the army was directed at Kasuga Mountain Castle, once the strategic goal was achieved, then the Uesugi family could be eliminated in a battle.

For such a plan, a conservative Sanada Masayuki strongly opposed, he thinks that once this is done, if Kasuga Mountain Castle is not broken in a short time, then once its reinforcements arrive, then the family will be surrounded, he has no doubt that under the command of Uesugi Kenshin, the Uesugi family will not be able to hold Kasuga Mountain Castle, once surrounded, it is not a joke, although there is still the Shibata army echoing each other on the west side, but Sanada Masayuki does not think that the Shibata army has broken through Uesugi's defense line for a while, After all, there are 10,000 Uesugi troops deployed on the Western Front, and although the Shibata army will definitely be more numerous, the Uesugi family has a geographical advantage, and the Shibata army is a single spear and light foot, and there is no change in the way of attack, so it is not difficult to hold him back.

Therefore, Sanada Masayuki believes that there is no need to take risks this time, with the help of the main family, this time in terms of military strength, his own side is in an advantageous position, and he can completely concentrate his forces and have a decisive battle with the Uesugi family on the Western Front, as long as the Uesugi army is eliminated in large numbers, then there will be no problem in capturing Echigo.

The two argued all the way, but no one was convinced, and in the end they had to let the lord make a decision.

By the time they arrived at Toyama Castle, Sasa Narumasa and Fukikoharu had already arrived for several days.

Of course, they supported the Takayama clan's decision to help Shibata Katsuya attack Uesugi, and as traditional samurai, for them, the meaning of their existence was to keep fighting and gain more merits, and this concept has definitely taken deep root in their hearts and has grown into a towering tree. So whether it's to help the clan fight Hojo or fight Uesugi with Shibata, as long as there is a battle to fight, they don't care who they fight, with such an attitude, then the next thing is to wait for the two military advisors of the Takayama clan to come up with advice.

"Husband, are you asleep?" Although the night was already very deep, Sakura, who was lying beside the clan, didn't feel sleepy at all, and only listened to her ask.

The clan was thinking about the Uesugi family's soldiers, and how could he sleep. "Not yet, does Madame want it?" In the middle of the night, Sakura suddenly asked herself, apart from wanting it, the clan really couldn't think of anything else.

"Husband, you are so bad, Sakura just wants to chat with her husband." Although the two have been married for more than ten years, whenever the clan mentions married life, Sakura still feels as embarrassed as she did at the beginning, and the clan also likes to see Sakura's shy appearance, even if she has watched it for more than ten years, she still doesn't feel bored.

"Well, since Sakura-sama wants to chat, let's just chat, although the clan says so, but the hand is not honest.

Sakura silently endured the devastation of the clan and asked, "Husband, is the family going to war again?" ”

When the clan heard Sakura mention this, he couldn't help but stop the movements of his hand, and said seriously: "Yes, it's going to be war again, and the reason why my father-in-law fell ill is not because he saw that the strength of the Sakuma family surpassed him, so he thought of attacking Uesugi and crushing the Sakuma family under him again." ”

"Actually, Sakura thinks that there is no need to fight between her father-in-law and Lord Sakuma, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a family, or let me persuade my father-in-law tomorrow. With his father-in-law's love for Sakura, he said that he would give up comparing himself with Sakuma-sama. I just listened to Sakura's innocent words.

Although the clan didn't want to laugh at her innocence, he still shook his head and said: "There is no contradiction between the two fathers-in-law, it has long been a habit for them to want to surpass each other, and this is not something we can change as juniors." ”

Speaking of this, the clan paused for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, when my father-in-law talked to me about this matter a few days ago, I had already persuaded him, but judging from my father-in-law's words and expression, if I stood by this time, it would definitely hurt my father-in-law's heart, so I agreed." Even if my father-in-law regrets it in the end, I have to do it, my father-in-law is already old, and I really don't want him to have any regrets. ”

After the clan finished speaking, Sakura suddenly felt very sweet, if someone asked her, who is the happiest woman in the world, she will definitely answer herself without hesitation. No matter how good you are to yourself, no amount of sweet words can compare to the actual actions of your mother's family, but your husband has done it.

But Sakura is too kind, when her husband has made such a decision, she suddenly thinks about the Sakuma family again, and only listens to her say: "Husband, if you help your father-in-law eliminate Uesugi, then your father-in-law's territory will exceed that of Sakuma-sama-sama, and then Sakuma-sama-sama will not be unhappy, and how will Sakura face Reiko's sister when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, Sakuma's father-in-law doesn't love face as much as your father-in-law, I know his character too well, I will be satisfied if I can suppress your father-in-law once in this life, and I will definitely not be angry after that."

Then Sakura was relieved. That husband must come on, but when the Uesugi family was eliminated, Sakura still felt that the husband should not kill too much, if there was a popular response, it was better to accept them, in fact, they were quite pitiful, especially their family, Sakura knew it well. Sakura said boldly, Sakura knew that her husband had never said this in front of her and her sisters, just because she didn't want her family to get involved. But she feels that the strategy of her family seems to be different from that of other forces, even if the main hall is to accept the surrender of the other party, and as long as there is no big mistake, they will generally let them keep the territory, but her husband is very tough in this regard, although she doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to do this, but she feels that since it is different from other forces and the main hall, then it is necessary to remind her husband.
