Seeing that the retainers stopped talking, the clan had to make a choice in his heart, and after the last decision, he still decided to lead a large army to defend Matsukura Castle, maybe there was a chance to persuade Murakami Yoshikiyo to withdraw the army.

However, just as he was about to speak, he heard Keiji Maeda say, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you all thinking too much? If you want me to see it, it's very easy ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Maeda Toshiya's face sank, and he couldn't help but reprimand loudly: "Keiji, you must not be rude in front of many adults, and you won't shut up for me."

Although Keiji Maeda didn't dare to say anything, his mouth didn't stop, but he kept muttering quietly, and no one could hear what he was talking about.

"Keiji, tell me what you think." Although the clan didn't expect much from him, every suggestion was important now, and this Maeda Keiji always had amazing words, who knows if the crooked idea he came up with was feasible.

Seeing the lord's question, Maeda Keiji didn't dare to be as casual as just now, so he hurriedly said: "Lord, my subordinates think that now you and your retainers' ideas have been solidified......"

Speaking of this, he found that his uncle was glaring at him fiercely, if he continued to speak, he was afraid that he would not be able to run away after the meeting, so he hurriedly changed his words and continued: "Just now your lords talked about defending the city, and the subordinates think that why should they defend the city and not take the initiative to attack, the enemy army is four thousand, and the family is nearly three thousand, although the difference in number is five hundred, but we don't plan to fight hard with the enemy, as long as we set up an ambush on the way it must go." It can definitely be beaten to the ground.

The subordinates believed that the enemy would panic when he knew that Matsukura Castle had been captured, and he was in a hurry to rush back to recapture the city, so he would definitely reduce his vigilance when he was in a hurry, and as long as he was unprepared, he would launch an attack. It should still be possible to defeat it at the minimum cost, so that the strategic goal will be achieved?"

As soon as he finished speaking. I only heard Maeda Toshiya say unhappily: "If you mess around, it is okay if only Ji Xiaolu Lai Gang leads the army, but Murakami Yoshikiyo has been fighting for many years and is not only experienced. And he is cautious, otherwise how could he have survived under the attack of the Takeda family? With his degree of prudence, he would definitely interrogate carefully, and if he knew that the Dao was not the main force of his own family to capture Matsukura Castle, not only would he not relax, but he would be more careful in his march.

It's no secret that the family's attack methods are mostly sneak attacks and ambushes, how can he be defenseless, you are as idiot as you are the samurai in the world?"

Although Keiji Maeda after listening to his uncle's words. I also had to admit that he was naïve in his thoughts, but when he was scolded as an idiot, how could he not argue, and only listened to his strong words: "I haven't finished my words yet, the road from Sakurato Castle to Matsukura Castle is long." He can see through an ambush, so what about two or three, anyway, there are basically many mountains and mountains, mountains and canyons on this road, one or two can't work, then come to ten. There must have been times when he couldn't see it.

At that time, you only need to succeed once, and the others will be considered suspicious. Ambush on all sides, Ha Luha, I don't believe he can see through it all" The more Keiji Maeda spoke, the more excited he became, and he simply stood up after the last day.

And the more Maeda Toshiya listened, the more angry he became, only to hear him say angrily: "Sit down for me, do you think that this family has tens of thousands of troops now?" Now the strength of the family is less than 3,000, if it is divided into 10 parts, each share is only more than 200, but the other party has 4,000 troops, of which 3,000 are elite, what do you think these 200 people can do?"

"This ......" Keiji Maeda was speechless after hearing this, he really hadn't thought about this question, so he had to sit down unwillingly.

"Maeda-sama is polite, and besides, Keiji, it won't be long before the Uesugi army withdraws from Hida, and the family can't compete with the Uesugi family now, so it's better to avoid fighting as much as possible."

After Hori Hidemasa finished speaking, Keiji Maeda, who had already wilted, stood up violently and said loudly: "Hori-sama's words, I don't dare to agree with you, if according to what the adults say, even if you go to defend the city, then when the Uesugi army comes to attack, will the family fight or not?" At that time, it was not necessary to confront the Uesugi army, and if our army attacked now, it would only be equivalent to seizing the initiative. …,

He believed that as long as the Uesugi army did not withdraw from Hida for a day, then it was the enemy of the family, and there must be no mercy on the enemy. ”

"That's a good point," as soon as Tian Qingci finished speaking, he saw that the clan also stood up and praised it.

"Thank you for the compliment, my subordinates just said what they thought in their hearts." I saw that Maeda Keiji hurriedly said.

"I mean, the plan you came up with is good, Ha Luha, it is just right to ambush on all sides to deal with the four thousand coalition troops, if it can be done, you will do it," only to hear the clan said loudly excitedly.

Although the samurai present have not seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they have not even heard of it, but the clan has not only seen it, but also watched it more than once, although there are many elements of the Romance, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this ten-sided ambush strategy is the best strategy, only need to make some changes, you can maintain the strength of the family at the same time, a lot of weakening the enemy's strength.

And Maeda Qing was a little embarrassed when he heard the lord's praise, he felt very reasonable about his uncle's rebuttal just now, but now the lord wants to adopt it, for a while he didn't know what to say, just heard him say thoughtlessly: "Lord, you're not joking with your subordinates."

"You dare to be so unreasonable to the lord, my Maeda family's face has been lost by you," only to hear Maeda Toshiya said with a red face.

"Shut your mouth again, this ten-sided ambush is indeed a clever plan." Seeing that the lord agreed again, Maeda Toshiya didn't say anything more, but waited for the lord's orders.

Seeing that the assessment room was quiet again, he didn't have time to explain more, so he just listened to his direct instructions: "Wasuka Masakatsu, I order you to lead two hundred ninjas to ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides of the path five miles away from Sakurato City, and when the enemy passes by here, you don't have to show up, just shoot all the shurikens."

I don't think the enemy will send many troops to garrison Sakuradong Castle, so you go and take it back for me. There's not much time left, so go ahead and prepare."

"It's the lord, my subordinates will go here," he got up and walked outside.

"Mizuse Uemon, you lead four hundred men to find a secret place fifteen miles from Sakurato Castle to ambush, and do as I said just now, remember not to melee and set off now."

I only heard Mizuse Uemon solemnly reply: "It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord."

"Maeda Keiji, the remaining six hundred ninja army will be handed over to you, find an ambush thirty miles away from Sakurato City, the content of the action will remain the same, if you dare to fight, then you are ready to see your family for the rest of your life, listen clearly"

Although Maeda Keiji was a little reluctant, he still replied: "It's the lord, but how to arrange the 500 new writers under his command?" Please also ask the lord to make it clear. ”

After thinking about it, the clan didn't speak, but said, "For the time being, it will be directly under my jurisdiction, so go and prepare."

After watching Maeda Keiji leave, the clan thought about the enemy driving dozens of miles of mountain roads in a row, and it was almost time to rest and recuperate, at this time, he could use other forces to attack, thinking of this, he only listened to the clan Zong's instructions: "Maeda Toshiya, Tanaka Katsusuke, Hori Hidemasa, you three lead the headquarters and the new team to ambush forty miles outside Matsukura City, and send more detectives, I expect that the enemy has been marching for so long, it should be rested, just wait for this time, you three lead the army to attack, do not seek to kill more enemies, only seek self-preservation, do not fall in love, Do you three understand?"

"It's the lord, and his subordinates understand."

"After the three of you attack, immediately return to join the forces led by me, and there must be no mistake."

After Maeda Toshiya and the other three left, they only heard the clan say again: "Omiya Jingren, Sugitani Zenjubo, you two each lead the headquarters to ambush fifteen miles outside Matsukura City, only shoot, don't fight, the enemy will chase, you will retreat in the direction of Matsukura Castle, there must be no mistake."

"Watanabe Shougang, Nakagawa Kiyohide, you two lead the headquarters to complete the most lucrative ambush with me."

When the clan sect finished speaking, he only heard Watanabe Shougang ask worriedly: "Is it too small that there are only two hundred elite armor riders around the lord?" I saw that the clan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Maeda Toshiya, Omiya Jingren and others will definitely join our army one step ahead if they act as ordered, and there are still six hundred Nei Island troops in the city, and they can be transferred out if necessary, so that the army has more than 1,500 troops, it is enough to deal with the enemy who has become a frightened bird, and there is not much time left for us, so let's go and prepare."

After saying that, before the retainers could stand up, the clan clan returned to the living room to put on the armor without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly a day since the Takayama clan captured Matsukura Castle, and the combined forces of Himekoji and Uesugi who were originally resting in Sakurato Castle should have left at ten o'clock in the morning, but now it is night, the city wall is still bright, hundreds of defenders are faintly visible, and the other thousands of troops in the city are still repairing like yesterday, and it seems that they have no intention of leaving at all.

It's not that Ji Xiaolu Yoritsuna doesn't want to return to Matsukura Castle, and on the contrary, he proposed to leave at dawn, but Murakami Yoshikiyo didn't agree to leave now.

For Ji Xiaolu Laigang, Matsukura Castle is very important, not only his family is there, but also the foundation of his family, so there must be no room for loss, and now that this Sakura Cave City has been recaptured, and no trace of the Takayama Army has been found, there is no point in spending it here, so it is better to return early, so that you can rest assured.
