When Soji Tsugawa and the others arrived at the foot of Mt. Daihiro, the Yamaguchi people were already ready. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the stronghold on the top of the mountain not far away, Tsugawa Soji called Shinbata's in-laws, who were familiar with the terrain here, and then said, "In-laws, look at the terrain here, if the enemy holds on, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to capture!" ”

Xinfatian's in-laws nodded and replied, "Dadian, the terrain in this area is very dangerous, and Dahong Mountain is the highest mountain here. ”

"And the only way to the bandits' lair is this mountain road in front of us." Xinfatian's in-laws pointed to the winding mountain road in front of him and said.

Soji Tsugawa continued, "According to the information sent back by the Yamaguchi clan before, it should be more than 100 people, and if it is attacked, the casualties of the Honke Ashigaru will inevitably be very large. And the grain that the Yamaguchi people have accumulated over the years is stored in the stronghold, so the Yamaguchi people will not be short of food in a short period of time, so it will not work to besiege but not attack. ”

"Then we can only start with the water source."

Listening to Tsugawa Soji's words, the Shinbata family nodded approvingly, and said, "It's worthy of the main hall, I found the lifeblood of the Yamaguchi people so quickly." In the next place, they sent people to find out where the water source of the mountain pass was. ”

"Well, go ahead."

"Hah!"

Looking at the back of Shinbata's in-laws, Soji Tsugawa sighed.

Previously, Saigo Kizo and others sent letters to the Shinbata family many times, inviting the Shinbata family to become the direct minister of Tsugawa Soji, and even tempted them with Zhixing, but unfortunately they were all politely rejected by the Shinbata family. The reason is that Mijiro is still young now, so let's wait for Mijiro to talk about these things after Mijiro Yuanfu......

Soji Tsugawa has love and hate for Shinbata's in-laws! I hate that the Shinbata family actually dared to sweep their face, and they refused so many invitations, but what I love is that the Shinbata family is not only talented, but also a samurai who values faith and righteousness, which makes Tsugawa Soji very satisfied.

An hour later, Xinfatian's family returned.

"The main hall has been found that the water source in the area of Mt. Dahong, where the Yamaguchi people are located, is in a low-lying area behind the Yamako Mountain, where there are several mountain springs converging into a small lake, which is the water source that the Yamaguchi people rely on," Xinfatian's family said without humility or arrogance.

"Well, now that the water source has been discovered, as long as the water source of the mountain pass is cut off, the enemy will not be able to hold on to the mountain for too long." Soharu Tsugawa smiled and said, "Also, you can try to send someone to persuade you to surrender, and it would be great if the Yamaguchi people were willing to surrender."

"Lord, I'm afraid it's hard to persuade you to surrender." Takahashi Xingjia on the side said, "My lord, the Yamaguchi people already know the consequences of the attack on the lord, and rashly send people to persuade them to surrender, I am afraid that the Yamaguchi people will worry that the lord will settle accounts after the autumn, and maybe it will provoke the resistance of the Yamaguchi people." ”

"You have a point." Soji Tsugawa nodded affirmatively and said, "However, the situation of Daihiro Mountain is still unclear, what if the enemy still stores a certain amount of water on the mountain?" Are we going to stay here forever? ”

Tsugawa Soji's worries are also very normal, after all, it is just a bandit force, it is indeed not easy to waste too much time here, there are still many things in the territory, and it is about to enter winter, and it is not good to continue to delay.

Tsugawa Soharu's plan was to cut off the water source for the Yamaguchi people, and then send people to persuade them to surrender, and it would be great if the Yamaguchi people knew that they were powerful enough to surrender. However, if the Yamaguchi people are unwilling to surrender, they will have to attack. Or, if you besiege but not attack, the Yamaguchi people will always be unable to hold out first.

"Let Nobita come over." Soji Tsugawa said to Takahashi Koki.

"Hah"

Not long after, Takahashi Koya came with Nobi Nobita. Compared with a few days ago, Nobita is now a light and light general, and a confident look is resolutely on his face, which is not at all the feeling of resignation before.

"I've seen the lord, I don't know what the lord has to tell his subordinates to come and have any instructions?" Nobita bowed and asked.

"I'm going to send you to persuade the people of the mountain pass to surrender, I don't know what you think?" Soji Tsugawa asked.

Nobita thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, my subordinates are not sure, so I can only say that I will do my best." ”

"I don't know what the conditions for the lord to persuade the people of the mountain pass to surrender?" Nobita then asked.

Soji Tsugawa thought for a while and said, "Abe Kumaji must die, so let him cut himself." The rest of the Yamaguchi people and their families will be settled in the area of Hondo Castle or Ota Castle in the eastern part of the family, and we will provide land for them to cultivate. Or if you are willing to become a member of the family, you can also participate in the selection of the family's standing ashigaru. ”

"With these conditions, anyway, except for Abe Kumji must die, you can decide other matters yourself, as long as it is not too harmful to the interests of your family, you can decide for yourself." Soji Tsugawa continued.

Nobita nodded and said firmly, "In this way, there is a 5-layer certainty that the Yamaguchi people will surrender." ”

"The subordinates will go now, the lord will wait a minute."

"Well, then, I'll wait here for your good news."

Then, Soji Tsugawa said to the Takahashi family beside him, "Send an order to Kuchigi Tsumiaki and Kaitaka Yoshima, and let the two of them follow Nobi Nobita with their troops, line up outside the stronghold of the Daihiro Mountain bandits, and if the bandits make any changes, they will immediately launch an attack on the city." ”

"Hah!"

............

On Mt. Daihiro, inside the stronghold of the Yamaguchi people.

All the members of the Yamaguchi clan were already in the stronghold. After the last battle of Higashiyamaji Temple, the Yamaguchi people lost a lot of people, and the number of people who can still fight now is only about 120. The rest of the family remained on Mt. Sengi, which was high and densely forested, making it easy to hide. The stronghold of Daihiro Mountain is not very large, and it cannot accommodate so many people at all, so the Yamaguchi people are just bandits stationed here.

Abe Enta stood beside Abe Kumji and said, "Chief, the Tsugawa family hasn't launched an attack yet, is there some conspiracy?" ”

"Humph! No matter what kind of conspiracy he had, we would stay in the stronghold and not come out, how can the Tsugawa family endure me? Kumji Abe said confidently.

Abe Kumaji's self-confidence still has a certain amount of reliance, as early as before the Tozawa family was not destroyed, the Tozawa family had come to attack the Yamaguchi people, but they were all repelled by the Yamaguchi people by virtue of the easy defense and difficult attack of the Dahong Mountain stronghold, so this time the Tsugawa family's attack, Abe Kumji also thought that it could be repelled. Pity.... Kumaji Abe's wishful thinking was destined to be wrong, because he met Soji Tsugawa..... A traverser who doesn't play his cards according to common sense.

"Look, chief, what is that?" Enta Abe suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed.

"It's not good, it's the enemy! The Tsukawa family is about to start attacking," Kumji Abe said excitedly as he looked at the soldiers of the Tsugawa family who suddenly appeared outside the stronghold.

At this time, in the strength of the Tsugawa family, Nobita walked outside the stronghold with a white flag, and said loudly, "Nobita, the envoy of the Tsugawa family, has something important to discuss, please open the door and let me in!" ”
