Oki Island is a small island 50 nautical miles from the mainland of the Japanese country. This island, which is not too close and not too far away, was a place of exile in ancient times, because it was difficult to escape without a large ship.

But today's Oki Island has long been occupied by a group of pirates, and the leader is called Nasa Nisuke, and the navy under his command is called the Oki Navy.

In a dilapidated grass hut on the island, there is a group of people dressed as samurai, whispering in secret.

"My lord! In the past few months, his subordinates have recruited many of their old subordinates, and they have also recruited a lot of ronin, with a number of about 400 people, all of whom are loyal and brave people. The samurai who spoke was handsome, and the antler helmet on his head added a bit of heroism to him, and he was the mountain Yumori in the "Three Heroes of Nizi".

"Excellent! Deura-sama, how is the connection with the Otomo family? The person who spoke was a little immature, but it didn't hinder his general's demeanor, it was Nizi Motohisa, who had just come of age.

"Back to Lord Nizi, Ukai Sunroku has sent back the news that this spring, the Otomo family will send troops to Fengzen Country again to attack the territory of the Maori family." Deura Shengqing said on the side, now his ninja army is not only used for combat, but also for reconnaissance and intelligence.

After all, the Hosokawa family has long been accustomed to the policy of intelligence first, and if there is no information, there is no difference between the deaf and the blind.

"Great, so our chance has come." Yokodo Xiugang said excitedly, he is an old minister of the Nizi family, and his father is the old Yokochi Qinggao of the Nizi family.

After the destruction of the Niko family, he was forced to flee Izumo Province and took refuge in Matsunaga Shu, and when he heard about the revival of the Niko family, he also followed Yamanaka Yukimori.

"Yes, we can go directly to Izumo Province by sea and take the lead in capturing Chungsan Castle, which is all too familiar to our subordinates." This person is Akigami Zongxin, an old minister of the Nizi family, and the former lord of Chungshan Castle.

He participated in the defense of Gassan Tomita Castle, but Castle was captured and released by the Maori Army under the pretext that he was a family of priests. I heard that the Nizi family was revived, and the starry night came to vote.

"Good! Then send troops to Izumo Province in April this year. Nasa Nippon Suke! I order you to prepare your ships, transport your troops on the night of the 10th, and land directly in Izumo! "Nizi Motohisa saw that the general trend had been achieved, and began to carry out the general strategic deployment.

"Yes! Please rest assured, the ship will be in place, the time will be on time, and the subordinate sailors will also go ashore to fight together! "Nasa Nippon suke commanded, he is now the head of the Niko family's navy.

"Akigami Muneshin! After going ashore, you will be the vanguard and take Chungsan Fortress first. You are familiar with it, only give you 200 troops, be sure to take it before dawn! "Chungsan Castle should be the easiest to take, both inspiring and occupying a place to stay.

"Yes, my lord! Please rest assured, the lord has already placed an inner line in the city, and when my army arrives, the city will definitely be opened to greet him! Qiu Shang Zongxin said with confidence, he has lived there for decades, and he knows a few trees and stones.

"Yuri Yamanaka! Ordered you to be the general of the 'Nizi Revival Army'! Lead the headquarters army of 200 and the naval army of 200 to attack Gassan Tomita Castle, the best can be captured, don't be reluctant if you can't attack, and wait for reinforcements on the spot. "Gassan Tomita Castle was originally the residence of the Niko family, the most majestic mountain castle in Izumo Province, and once it was recaptured by the Niko army, its strategic significance was self-evident.

"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! My subordinates will definitely fight to take Tsukiyama Tomita Castle and revive my Izumo Niko family! Yamanaka Yukimori was impassioned, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Lord Deura, please lead the ninja army to attack Shinzan Castle, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is very suitable for the ninja army." Nizi Motohisa finally looked at Deura Moriki, in the original Hosokawa family, Deura Morikiyo was already a general, and he was only a side at the beginning.

"Niko-sama is polite, please just ask. But there's a little suggestion at the bottom.,I want to say it for Niko-sama's reference.。 "Izuura Shengqing returned the gift very humbly, and did not put himself on top.

"Oh! Lord Deura, but it doesn't matter, you have followed the lord for many years, and there have been countless big battles and small battles, but what was wrong just now? "Nizi Yuanjiu is not arrogant, and humbly asks for advice.

"That's right, Niko-sama also knows that the ninja army is suitable for mountain warfare, and the reason why the lord sent it here is precisely because Izumo is mountainous, and the castle is almost all mountain castles." Deura Shengqing began to draw a topographic map of the sand table on the spot, and their ninja army had already explored the surrounding terrain.

Everyone looked at the circles on the ground strangely, but the professionally trained Nizi Motohisa understood the plan at a glance.

"This is Chungsan Castle, because there is an internal response, there is nothing to say. This is the city of Johor Bahru, with mountains to the north, and Cave Lake and Zhonghai Lake to the east and west, and only a Pingchuan Avenue to the south. Depu Shengqing pointed to a sandbag and said, it can be seen that Xinshan City has a unique geographical advantage, which is very easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"I heard that Lord Matsuda was originally the lord of White Deer City, and White Deer City and Shinhor Castle are facing each other, so he should be familiar with the local terrain. Therefore, in the next suggestion, this city will be handed over to Matsuda-sama for the strategy, and it should be twice the result with half the effort. "The person mentioned by Deura Morikiyo is Matsuda Seiho, an old minister of the Nizi family, who was originally the banner head of the Ten Banners of Nizi.

After his White Deer Castle was breached, it was set on fire by Yoshikawa Motoharu of the Mori family. Learned of the revival of Nizi and re-emerged from the hidden deep mountains and old forests.

"And Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, which has been personally explored by Xia, is really steep, and it is not inferior to the original Inabayama Castle in Mino. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yamanaka to take it alone, and even if you add the ninja army, it will be difficult to win. However, the lord once said that the stronger the castle, there will always be a way out, which is a very ridiculous psychology. Don't you know some hidden paths? "For this fortified city, Depu Shengqing is also very difficult.

When everyone here heard this, they immediately frowned, this kind of secret passage was only known to the lord of the Nizi family. But Nizi Motohisa left home since he was a child, and it is impossible to know where the secret passage is.

"That's... Your subordinates may know..."

Just when everyone was at a loss, a soft speech at the end attracted everyone's attention.

"It's Shinjuro, what's there but it doesn't hurt to say." Niko Motohisa saw that it was Kamei Ziju who had just been subdued, he was only fourteen years old this year, and he was the brother-in-law of Yukimori Yamanaka.

And his father is Tang Yonggang, the former minister of the Nizi, after the destruction of the Nizi family, he wandered around to broaden his knowledge, and the art of war and internal affairs are very prominent.

"Yes, my lord!" Encouraged by this, Kamei told what he had seen and heard in recent years.

"As you all know, the reason why it is called Kamei Ziju is because in the defensive battle of Mt. Kamei, Hidetsuna's father and son were killed in battle, and the Kamei family was extinct. The wife under him is the daughter of Kamei Hidetsuna, so he inherited the Kamei family under him. ”

"So a year ago, I went to Tsukiyama Tomita Castle to see if I could see my father-in-law's demeanor back then."

"Therefore, I learned that there is no secret passage for escape in Tsukiyama Tomita City!"
