In this battle, Kaga temples sent 4,000 troops, but less than 2,500 people were able to retreat fortunately, which made Kaga temples greatly injured, and there was no ability to send troops in a short period of time, and in this battle, the combat power of the Takayama army was fully proven, even if they recovered, they did not dare to send troops to fly easily.

And because there were hundreds of monks who failed to retreat in time to block, so when the Gaoshan army killed these hundreds of people, the enemy had already run away, and after confirming that they would definitely not be able to catch up, the warriors could only lead the army back to Guiyun City in displeasure.

After the army returned to the city, it was only necessary to count the losses and finish the matter, but now another item has been added, that is, the statistics of battle merits, originally the Takayama clan has not officially announced the reform, and the credit obtained by this battle should not be calculated, but the clan clan does not want to discourage their enthusiasm, so it is still decided that the credit will be calculated from this time.

He didn't know what to do, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be taken aback by the courage of his subordinates, and in this battle, there were more than ten enemies who killed more than five enemies alone, and one of them killed seven monks alone.

If the opponent is a peasant soldier like the Eima family, it is not worth making a fuss about killing seven people with the strength of one person, and in this battle, the opponent is a Kaga monk whose combat strength is not worse than that of the own army. In a situation of equal strength, there are only two possibilities, either he is deeply hidden, or his luck is too good.

In line with the principle of discovering talents for his family, the clan immediately sent Watanabe Moritsuna to try his martial arts, and only after a try did he learn about the way. This ashigaru is just too lucky, but his martial arts are no different from the other ashigaru in his family.

But even so, the clan still refers to the ashigaru move called Yosuke as a flag samurai, and the clan believes that sometimes good luck is more important than ability, and Yosuke of course readily accepts it.

Although since becoming a Hachimoto samurai, he will no longer be able to enjoy the treatment of a lord. And he was not far from receiving the knighthood, but he was not at all disappointed, but excited. This is entirely because he clearly knows that even if he can obtain the title of a ninth-level lord one day, he will still be only a ashigaru. And become a samurai. Even the most lowly samurai is equivalent to changing his identity.

Samurai, those are all high and big, as long as the Takayama family is not destroyed, and if they have children, this identity will be inherited forever, and Ashigaru is only his own generation, if there are no outstanding people among the descendants in the future, then it will never be possible to take this step, maybe they will have to deal with the land again.

For the clan sect, recruiting a flag warrior is really not a big deal. So the matter was quickly revealed, and what he was thinking about now was what he should do next.

Now that the Kaga monks have been defeated, and their losses are even more severe, the path in front of him has changed from one to two. In addition to attacking Shinano and seizing the frontier, you can also attack Kaga while the temples are recovering.

As far as he knows, Honganji Temple is located at the northeastern end of Kaga, and there are some small temples that are not larger than Hida, if you go to Kaga. Then it is impossible for his defeated army to block the attack of his own family, as long as he attacks himself, then he can at least capture 70,000 or 80,000 stone of land, which is much greater than the gain of attacking Shinano.

However, if you compare it, although the benefits of attacking Shinano are not much, this step is extremely important, as long as you control the border between the two countries, then you can not only defend yourself from the enemy, but also enter and exit Shinano will be much easier, and if you go to attack Kaga, if you don't have the strength to destroy Honganji, you will be completely asking for trouble.

At that time, the family borders the land under its rule, and the two sides are in the same situation, there is no room for mediation, if they take advantage of their own army to lead the army to attack, then there will not even be time to deal with it, otherwise they will have to send a large army to defend there for many years, which will cause great trouble to the army in the future.

From this point of view, as far as the current situation is concerned, the existence of those small temples is still necessary, once Honganji wants to send troops, then they will definitely gather them to attack together like this time, if you count the mobilization time, it will take at least a few days, which is enough for the family to prepare, so after the clan thought about it carefully, it was finally decided to send troops to Shinano to control the border between the two countries.

In saying that Qili Lai Zhou led the monks and soldiers under his command did not stop, and went straight to Honganji Temple to stop, not to mention how much military strength he lost in this battle, only to say that there were hundreds of monks and soldiers who fell behind along the way, and the teachings of Zhaolian Temple, which was lucky not to die, were tied up and pushed into the main hall by the five flowers at this moment, if it is said that Qili Lai Zhou hates who he hates the most now, the Gaoshan clan ranks first, then this Zhaolian Temple doctrine can definitely rank second.

Now don't say it's Mino, even Hida didn't win it, and even after this battle, he was greatly injured, and there was no possibility of going out to the army again in a short time, and now he just wanted to cut him with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in his heart.

So I only heard him say coldly: "This defeat is all due to your strategy, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Zhaolian Temple's teachings don't want to die now, but he also knows that it is not so easy to exonerate himself, he knows that no matter how he explains it now, it is useless, and the only way to impress the other party is to seek victory in defeat, as long as he can get benefits, then he still has hope of living, otherwise there is only a dead end.

This is a question he'd been thinking about since Hida retreated, and now, he's finally thinking of a way to save his life.

After Qili Lai Zhou finished speaking, the teachings of Zhaolian Temple did not defend himself, but directly said: "The first seat, I think of a plan in the next place, if you use this plan, although you can't take Minong, but it is easy to eliminate the Takayama family and win Hida." ”

After hearing this, Qili Lai Zhou's attitude changed slightly, although he didn't plan to let go of the teachings of Zhaolian Temple now, but even if he wanted the other party to die, he would listen to him finish his words first.

I saw that he still said with a straight face: "You must know that this is the last chance for you, if what you say next does not satisfy me, you will definitely die today, say it!" ”

"The first one, I think that the Takayama clan's new capture of Hida has not been long ago, and the people's hearts have not recovered, if at this time send someone to fan in their territory and send a little food, these foolish people will be easily used by the master.

It is true that the Takayama army is elite, but after several major battles, the army has also lost a lot, and there are tens of thousands of Hida people, as long as there are two percent of the pole raised, it is enough for the clan to be uncomfortable, if it kills these people, then it is equivalent to weakening their own strength, if they don't kill, then the master will continue to instigate, the Takayama clan will send his troops to defend everywhere in order not to lose the territory, and these scattered troops once there is a mob entanglement, the master can gather the army to attack Hida.

The Takayama army gathers together, and we have no way to deal with it, but as long as they are scattered, they will not be broken by each of us, so that not only the mountains can be destroyed, but Hida will not be able to escape from the master's palm, I don't know what the master thinks?
