Chapter 208: One is worse than the other

Now that the reason for sending troops is in place, the next step is to discuss the details of the operation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tsugawa Soji looked at the retainers in the hall and said slowly, "Everyone, if the family doesn't move this time, it will be enough, and if you move, you must be fully prepared." ”

"The Yuri Party seems to be scattered, but since they can stand tall in this chaotic Dewa country, they naturally have their own unique place. Even the Andong family and the Dabaosi family can only control these wealthy families by means of appeasing and co-opting, and now the family wants to directly send troops to these places, I'm afraid it is still a little difficult. Soji Tsugawa said slowly.

"I believe that if the family really moves troops against the Shimomura family and the Hanekawa family, other Yuri party members will definitely send troops to support. So the next enemy that the family will face may be all the Yuri Party, plus the Anto family in Minatojo. Soji Tsugawa continued, "The family now has a total of about 2,500 standing ashigaru men, 100 mounted cavalry troops, and peasant soldiers. ”

"As for the Yuri Party, the Anton family can dispatch 1,500 troops, and the forces of the Anton family's subordinate forces such as the Toshima family and the Kameda family are probably around 2,000 people." Soji Tsugawa said slowly, "And the Yuri Party itself may be able to mobilize no less than 2,000 troops, so it seems that the family will face more than twice as many enemy troops." ”

"What can you do about it?" Tsugawa Soji looked at the retainers in the hall and asked.

"Lord!" The first to speak out was the Tsugawa family's family member Miki Naogo, "Even if the family wants to send troops, but it can't come out, and it still needs to leave a part of the troops to defend the Onodeera family in the south, so it seems that the family can only send 2,000 troops." ”

"That's true, the Onodera family has to guard against it." Soji Tsugawa nodded.

"2,000 people fighting against 4,000 people, even if the family's Ashigaru is elite, I'm afraid the situation is not objective. After all, there are 2,000 more enemies than we do! Miki Naogo continued.

"That's what I'm going to discuss with you." Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "How can you weaken the strength of the enemy army?" ”

After Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, the retainers in the palace fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Mizutani Hisaharu spoke, "My lord, since there is no harmony within the Yuri Party, how about this family start from here and divide the enemy army?" ”

"However, the Libyan Party has always been very united with the outside world, and once the family starts to act, it will be difficult to divide the enemy army." Takahashi continued.

Hisaharu Mizutani continued, "The Yuri Party is divided into two forces: the pro-Andong family and the pro-Daihoji family. Among them, the Shimomura family, the Akatsu family, the Nei family, the Ishizawa family, the Corn family, the Takizawa family, the Hanekawa family, and the Ozuho family are all related to the Andong family. Other wealthy families such as Niga Ho have established ties with the Daihoji family. ”

"My lord, my subordinates think that the family must send troops, but the subordinates think that the family should be slowly planned and not too hasty." Hisaharu Mizutani said with a solemn face, "At the moment, the strength of the family is not guaranteed to successfully defeat the Yuri Party and the Anto family, once the war is scorched, and the Onodera family in the south and even the Spo family in the east and other forces raise troops again, the family will be in danger." ”

"Kuji, what do you think the family should do?" Soji Tsugawa asked.

Mizutani Hisaharu thought for a moment and said, "My lord, my subordinates think that the family can win over some members of the Yuri Party and then suppress some of them. In this way, the family will not have to face all the Yuri Party. When the family has a place in Yuri-gun, it is not too late to completely suppress Yuri-gun. ”

"What about you? What to think about it! Soji Tsugawa turned his head and asked the other retainers.

"My lord, my majesty also agrees with Mizutani-sama's words." Miki Naogo nodded and said, "Although the strength of this family is not what it used to be, I am afraid it is not very easy to face enemies like the Yuri Party and the Andong family alone. It's better to follow Mizutani-sama's words and slowly figure it out. ”

"Your Majesty thinks so, too." Masashige Tozawa also said slowly.

"Your Majesty agrees." Almost half of the retainers in the palace agreed with Mizutani Hisaharu's words, and the rest of the people were also very wavering in their hearts.

Soji Tsugawa sighed and said, "Alas, it's me who was too naΓ―ve!" ”

Indeed, Tsugawa Soji only thought that the strength of the Tsugawa family was to completely crush the existence of these wealthy families in the village. But the Shimomura family is not fighting alone, and behind the Shimomura family is the entire Yuri Party, plus the Anton family in Minato.

With so many forces united, I'm afraid it's not something that the Tsugawa family can resist. After thinking about it carefully, Soji Tsukawa also planned to give up his previous plan for a full-scale attack, and decided to listen to the advice of Hisaharu Mizutani.

"So Kuji, do you have any good ideas about the division of the Yuri Party that you said?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

Mizutani Hisaharu said slowly, "My lord, speaking of the Yuri Party, I have to talk about the four most powerful wealthy families in the Yuri Party. ”

"They are the Higa Ho family, the Akao Tsu family, the Takizawa family, and the Oi family."

"The Higa Ho family and the Akao Tsu family aside, both of them are old forces in Yuri County. What Your Majesty wants to talk about is the Takizawa family and the Oi family! Mizutani Hisaharu said slowly, "The Oi family has always been a subordinate of the Yajima family before, and it wasn't until the seventh year of astronomy that they seized the opportunity to fight against the main Yajima family and became independent. Mitsuhisa, the head of the Oi family, even attacked and killed the Hikaru Muto clan of the Yajima family and captured the Onokan of the Yajima family. ”

Since then, the two families have been at odds, and the Yajima family, who was forced to be helpless, sought the help of the Niga family to stabilize the situation. But the feud between the two families is settled. ”

"And the situation of the other Takizawa family is similar to that of the Oi family, and the head of the Takizawa family also attacked the Yashima family from behind while the Yajima family was fighting with the Oi family, and captured the Yoshizawa Pavilion of the Yajima family."

"So if you want to say that the forces with the most tension within the Yuri Party are the Takizawa family, the Oi family, and the Yashima family."

"And these three forces have the rest of the Yuli members in check." Kuji Mizutani said and felt some dry hair on the side of his mouth.

After clearing his throat, Kuji Mizutani continued, "The Takizawa family and the Okinpo family have always had a good relationship, and the two families have teamed up against the Niga family. And the Yashima family is subordinate to the Niga family, and the head of the Shimomura family, the head of the Shimomura family, is married to the sister of Mitsuhisa Shijima. The two families are related by marriage. ”

"And the Oi family and the Ziyoshi family have fought against the attacks of the Yajima family and the Shimomura family."

"In this way, if the family wants to use troops against the Shimomura family, it may be possible to start with the Takizawa family and the Oi family." Hisaharu Mizutani said slowly.

Tsugawa Soji thought speechlessly, "Yuri's party is really a-stirring stick, I'll wipe it, this complicated relationship is simply no one." ”

"But where do you start?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

Mizutani Hisaharu said with a smile: "It is rumored that the head of the Takizawa family, the Takizawa family, has a daughter who is not married yet, so why don't you go and ask for marriage by His Royal Highness?" ”

"What?" Soji Tsugawa was shocked: "Let me go and ask for a kiss?" How can it be! ”

"Actually, you don't need Your Highness to really go, you just need to walk out with the news. Your Majesty's idea is also deeply inspired by His Highness's just now! Kuji Mizutani showed a mouth full of white teeth..............

Tsugawa Soji's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Kuji, you've learned badly!" ”
