The Isshiki family and the Takeda family don't want to be a salted fish with mixed records.

In fact, it is impossible for Tsugawa Soji not to really take care of these two faithful little brothers.

"That's all for the time being, let's go down and prepare on your own!" Tsugawa Soji first said this, and then added, "Takeda Hall and Isshiki Hall will stay, and you will also keep Shibei!" ”

"Ha~ha!" Isshiki Yoshido and Takeda Motoei glanced at each other inexplicably, while Akechi Mitsuhide on the side showed an expression that was really like this, as the former surname of Tsugawa Soji, Akechi Mitsuhide is a person who knows Tsugawa Soji very well.

Generally speaking, Soji Tsugawa does things vigorously and resolutely. Now that this military meeting has been convened, it is inevitable that the next battle plan and deployment will be properly arranged.

The thirty legion commanders are basically arranged, and it is impossible to leave out Wise Mitsuhide alone. And there are also the Takeda family and the Isshiki family who have not received the task, so there can only be one explanation, that is, Tsugawa Soji needs them to do some other things, and it is some highly secretive tasks.

Thinking of this, Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help but look forward to it.

Everyone quickly left the table, and only Tsugawa Soji, Sanada Yutaka, Akechi Mitsuhide, Takeda Motoei and Isshiki Yoshiki were left in the main camp, and the bannermen of Tsugawa Soji stood in a circle around the main camp.

"Genta Saemon, tell the Ten Guards about our plan!" Soji Tsugawa clasped his hands on his chest and said to Yutaka Sanada at his side.

Sanada Yutaka nodded sideways, and then said in a deep voice, "This time the strategy is to go to Retsu, and after the consultation between the Senate and the lord, it was decided to adopt a battle plan of one light and one dark!" ”

"Is this going to divide the army and march into Settsu?" Akechi Mitsuhide asked tentatively.

"Not bad!" Sanada Yutaka nodded, "One unit is responsible for the main attack, and the other is a feint force to confuse the enemy!" The main purpose of this feint attack force is to attract the attention of the enemy, contain the enemy army, and create an opportunity for the other main attack force to attack! ”

"So our mission is to serve as a feint?" Takeda Motoei asked with a little disappointment.

Sanada Yutaka waved his hand, "That's not the case! ”

"In fact, the troops attacking Takiyama Castle this time are the troops responsible for the feint! In other words, the main attack is precisely the three adults here! ”

"Is that so?" Takeda Motoei and Isshiki Yoshido glanced at each other, and then turned their suspicious gazes to Tsugawa Soji.

Seeing that Sanada Yutaka had already said this, Soji Tsugawa nodded hurriedly and said with an affirmative face, "Not bad!" As Genta Saemon said, the troops who served as the main attack this time were the forces of the Isshiki family and the Takeda family! ”

"Thank you Tsukawa Hall for taking it so seriously, and entrusting it with such a heavy responsibility! When I make up my mind, I live up to the trust! Isshiki Yoshido hurriedly said.

And Takeda Motoei also hurriedly asked, "I just don't know what the specific mission content of what we are waiting for?" ”

That's right, Soharu Tsugawa, what are you trying to do with us? It's not going to be cannon fodder, is it? Isshiki Yoshido suddenly began to worry a little again.

"It's not a secret, there are many people in the Settsu country who have already communicated with their own family! The Arima family is one of them! Soji Tsugawa directly threw out a bombshell-like news in the eyes of Takeda Motoei and others.

"What, the Arima family and the Tsugawa family are connected?"

"How is that possible! Wasn't the city of Tama just captured by our army? ”

Takeda Motoei and Isshiki Yoshido "two-faced stunned B"!

"Huh!" Seeing the two of them behaving like this, Soji Tsugawa hurriedly smiled and said, "These are just appearances made to confuse the Miyoshi family, in fact, the Arima family joined the Ikeda family a long time ago!" ”

"I see, so this time the lord wants me to wait for me to secretly march towards Arima City?" Wise Mitsuhide on the side spoke.

Soji Tsugawa glanced approvingly at Akechi Mitsuhide, then nodded and replied, "Not bad!" ”

"The Hojo family's troops sent before are only on the surface, and the purpose is to prevent the Miyoshi family from continuing to increase troops in the direction of Arima Castle! Next, you will secretly march towards Arima Castle, and then the Arima family will naturally cooperate! ”

The Hojo family has 3,000 people, plus the Harima country, which is a group of "rabble". However, the direction of Takiyama Castle is full of standing troops of the Tsugawa family, so the Miyoshi family will inevitably take Arima Castle lightly and pay more attention to Takiyama Castle.

In this way, Akechi Mitsuhide and the others can easily enter the hinterland of Settsu through Mt. Rokko with the cooperation of the Arima family! And the Miyoshi family's main force in Settsu is still being restrained by the Tsugawa family in Takiyama Castle, so it is conceivable that what Akechi Mitsuhide's amazing army can do is terrifying!

"This mission, be sure to be secret!"

"Hah!"

......

Takiyama Castle, Araki Village is now sitting here in person.

Reinforcements from the Miyoshi family have also arrived, and it is the Hanoi people led by Naomasa Yasumi, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people. Coupled with the strength of the troops under the command of Araki Village, there are more than 10,000 people. Although the number is still much lower than that of the Tsugawa family, at least the reinforcements have been added, which is also a morale boost for the people of Settsu Province, because it at least proves that the Miyoshi family has not abandoned them.

In a depression not far northwest of Takiyama Castle, a group of people are working hard to transport all kinds of stones and wood under the scorching sun.

"Lord Yasumi, this place is located at the foot of Mt. Maya, with a river in front of it, and the whole is a depression! And the place where we are standing now is the only high place nearby, so I am going to build a fortress here as a branch of Takiyama Castle! ”

"Araki-sama, with all due respect!" Anmi Naomasa took a closer look at the surrounding fortifications, "The Tsugawa family's army is more than 50,000 people, and the ordinary city can't stop the attack of the Tsugawa family's 50,000 people!" ”

"According to reliable information, the Tsugawa family seems to be divided into two ways this time! All the way to Takiyama Castle, all the way to Arima Castle! However, the specific situation is not very clear, and Arima Castle has already sent a message to inquire about the situation! I believe that the results will be available soon! ”

"Of course, I didn't think that I could rely on this city to block the attack of the Tsugawa family, but how many days can it be delayed!" Araki Murashige suddenly lowered his tone: "Could it be that Lord Yasumi really thinks that just a little bit of us can stop the Tsugawa family?" ”

The world-famous Tsugawa family, Ashigaru's combat effectiveness has long been known to the world, and Araki Murashige doesn't think that the Tsugawa family can still solve their more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers in the case of fighting more and less!

"I just want to drag the Tsugawa family as much as possible, and after the Miyoshi Hall defeats the Rokkaku family in the mountain city, then gather all the strength of the Miyoshi family, and then fight to the death with the Tsukawa family!"

After listening to Araki Murashige's words, Anmi Naomasa suddenly nodded heavily: "Araki-sama, this is very much in line with my opinion!" ”

"What's the name of this city?"

Arakimura thought about it for a moment, then replied, "Hanakuma Castle! ”
