Jianbu Mountain Castle.

The sudden arrival of the Tsukawa family's warship two days ago frightened all the retainers of the Isshiki family, and they thought that the Tsugawa family was going to attack the Isshiki family in a big way, so frightened that Isshiki Yoshiyuki hurriedly mobilized the troops in the leadership to Jianbu Mountain Castle and prepared for the cage city.

However, just now, a sunny thunderbolt slashed directly at the top of Isshiki Yoshiyuki's head, and the MMP Tsugawa family came ashore from Kamimiya Tsu Castle on the left.

"My lord, the Miyazu Bay Naval Battle Miyoshi Naval Army and the Murakami Naval Army were completely defeated, it can be said that the entire army was wiped out, and there was no piece left! Ataka Settsu Mamoru and Murayama Sweep Head, Murayama Saemon Doctor Hall retreated to Kamimiya Tsu Castle, but they were caught up by the Tsugawa family's forces, and Kamimiya Tsu Castle has been captured! ”

"Now that Ataka Settsumori has fled to Yukijo Castle, judging from the current situation, it is not possible to conclude whether the Tsugawa family will take the opportunity to attack the main family in a big way!" In the castle tower of Jianbu Yamajo, Takaya Yoshiei said with a solemn face.

Isshiki Yoshiki hurriedly walked back and forth in the hall, and said restlessly, "Over there in Upper Palace Tsu Castle, how many people are in the Tsukawa family's army?" ”

"According to the news obtained by the detectives of this family, these ashigaru are all members of the Tsugawa family's navy, and the number is more than 3,000 people!"

"Three thousand! The country of Tango can mobilize a total of five or six thousand people, and there are still mountain castles to be guarded against, how can these three thousand people deal with it? "The stone height of the Tango country is only about 100,000 koku, and part of the territory of Kasa-gun (roughly around 10,000-20,000 koku) is also occupied by the Wakasa Takeda family next door, so the mobilization ability of the Isshiki family is indeed very average.

Hearing Isshiki Yoshiyuki's words, Takaya Yoshiei did not show a panicked look, but said calmly, "My lord, if you look at the victory or defeat based solely on the number of troops, what if there are tens of thousands of troops in the country, what if there are tens of thousands of troops in the country, so wouldn't the family be able to surrender directly?" ”

"The mountain city of this family is extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack! Even if tens of thousands of troops come to attack, it can still be done for half a year when there is enough food! ”

"As an ally of the Miyoshi family, if the Miyoshi family is attacked by the Tsugawa family, the Miyoshi family will not sit idly by! If the Miyoshi family does not rescue the family, it will be a matter of happiness for the relatives and enemies, and it will not do any good to the Miyoshi family. It will also chill the hearts of other allies of the Miyoshi family, so the Miyoshi family will not sit idly by! ”

Isshiki Yoshiyuki nodded hurriedly and said, "In this case, I will immediately leave the letter and send it to Kyoto, and ask the Miyoshi family to send reinforcements as soon as possible!" ”

......

Soharu Tsugawa also received news from the Tadanobu of Motoyama in Goseyama Castle.

When he learned that the Miyoshi family's Ataka Navy was completely annihilated by Motoyama Tadanobu, Tsugawa Soji was completely relieved! Of course, for the Tsugawa family's navy to be able to defeat the Ataka navy, Tsugawa Soji is very confident. After all, the two sides are not at the same level at all, and this feeling is like the Qing Dynasty being beaten by the British during the Opium War.

"My lord, the letter also mentions that Kamiyazu Castle has been captured by Tango. In addition, Lord Motoyama asked the lord what to do next? Sanada Yutaka sat aside and spoke.

"What's the reaction of the Isshiki family?"

"The head of the Isshiki family, Isshiki Yoshiyuki, is in the Kenbu Mountain Castle Cage Castle, and the retainer Inatomi Iga Mamoru and the Isshiki Shikibu Daisuke are in the Gage Castle of Yuki. The number of troops in Jianbu Mountain Castle was about four or five thousand, and the strength of the troops in Gongmu Castle was no more than one thousand. Sanada Yutaka said slowly.

Soji Tsugawa lowered his head and looked at the map in front of him, and pointed at the location of Tango and Tanba with a slender wooden stick, "Gentai Saemon, this family intends to seize the two kingdoms of Tango and Tanba first, and then march to Harima and Settsu, what do you think of this plan?" ”

"The strength of the Dango Isshiki family is low, even if there is support from the Miyoshi family, there is no need to worry, the family only needs to send one or two legions to easily destroy it with the cooperation of Lord Benshan!"

"It's just that the terrain of Tanbo is complicated and the situation is erosive, I'm afraid it's not so easy to capture!" In general, the country of Tanba is mainly divided into three forces, namely the Hatano family, the Akai family, and the Naito family.

Among them, the head of the Naito family is Naito Sokatsu (Matsunaga Nagayori), the younger brother of Matsunaga Hide, because of the relationship supported by the Miyoshi family, he is very strong in Tamba, and almost occupies half of the land of Tanba. And the Hatano family has been in a slump since the death of the first generation of British lord Hatano Minori.

Originally, Miyoshi Nagakei's main room was the daughter of Hatano Minotsu, who is the sister of the current lord Hatano Harumichi. But later Miyoshi Chokei reconciled with him and opposed Hosokawa Haruhoto.

Hatano Harumi didn't know which tendon was wrong and had to stand on the side of Hosokawa Harumoto, although he repelled the attacks of the Miyoshi family several times, but was forced to submit by Naito Munekatsu not long ago.

Although the remaining Akai family looks like a salted fish, they only own the territory of half of Mizuki-gun. But the Akai family is indeed a tough person, and in the face of Naito Sokatsu, who almost unified Tanba, the Akai family is still firmly on the side of Hosokawa Harumoto, and the same clan of Ashida, Adachi and other wealthy families fight.

In other words, in today's Tanba country, only the Akai family is still resisting the Miyoshi family.

That's what Sanada Yutaka was worried about, if the Tsugawa family intervened in Tanba Province when the Hatano family had not surrendered before, there might be a problem. But at this point, Hatano has surrendered, and Tamba is almost controlled by the Miyoshi family, which doesn't seem to be a good idea.

"Don't underestimate the Akai family!" As a traverser, Soji Tsugawa knows the name of "Tanba Red Oni", which is a bug-like existence.

"Could it be that the lord thinks that the Akai family can block the Naito family's strategy?" Sanada Yutaka is obviously not optimistic about this, "Harima's Bessho family has also been defeated by Miyoshi Nagayi of the Miyoshi family and surrendered, so it can be said that the Akai family has been surrounded!" ”

"In this case, according to the strength of the Akai family, I'm afraid it won't be able to survive this year, right?"

Soji Tsugawa shook his head, "Why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Bet on what?" Yutaka Sanada also came to nature.

Soji Tsugawa thought for a moment, and then continued, "Just bet on whether the Akai family can resist the attack of the Naito family, and it will be limited to three months!" If you can't repel the attack of the Naito family within three months, then the family loses, and the family will give you my warhorse! ”

"On the contrary, if the Akai family repels the attack of the Naito family within three months, then it will be counted as Genta Saemon and you lose! How about you send your third son, Gengoro, to the front of the family seat to be a little surname? "Soji Tsugawa almost habitually said that he was a boy.....

As soon as he heard this, Sanada Yutaka immediately agreed, this is a steady diamond no matter whether he wins or loses! For Tsugawa Soji's war horse, Sanada Yutaka is hot and tight. After all, it is a black and white horse carefully selected from thousands of good horses. To be able to get one of them, Sanada Yutaka, almost dreamed of waking up laughing.

"This bet should be placed, I just hope that the lord will not repay the debt!" Sanada Yutaka looked like he was sure of victory.

And Tsugawa Soji was not to be outdone, and said, "Then let's wait and see!" ”

Sanada Yukitaka's third son, Gengoro, is the later Sanada Masayuki! Hmm, this is a celebrity development game?
