After Miki Naogo finished speaking, he set his eyes on Tsugawa Soji, and now everything is waiting for Tsugawa Soharu to decide. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Back off? Or forward? Tsugawa Soji wasn't sure in his heart. Originally, the dispatch of troops to Umezawa Castle did not take into account the enemy other than Tozawa Masayasu at all, so Tsugawa Soji did not mobilize all his troops to fight, but now that there is this variable of the Spo family, things will be difficult to do.

After a long time, Tsugawa Soji said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we can't be sure whether the Spo family will continue to attack the family after learning that Umezawa Castle has been captured by the family, so we can't take chances. ”

"Takahashi Xingjia, you quickly send people to increase the investigation work in the area around Tazawa Lake, and closely monitor the movements of the Sibo family. Report anything unusual as soon as possible. Soji Tsugawa said to the Takahashi family beside him.

"Hi" Takahashi Xingjia took the order and left.

Soji Tsugawa turned his head and continued, "In the current situation, it is impossible to retreat. Once the Spo family occupies Umezawa Castle, Tazawa Castle, and Tanuchi Castle in the area of Lake Tazawa, then they can send troops to Senhoku County at any time in the future. Such a fate cannot be handed over to the Spoo family just like this. So next, if the Spoo family doesn't retreat, we're going to face a big fight! ”

After Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, he looked at the retainers sitting below, there was nothing unusual about Yoshikawa Hiroke and Miki Naogo and others, and Nagano Masabo was immersed in the grief of losing his father at the moment, as for the expressions on the faces of Tozawa Masashige and Tozawa Moritsuna, they were both uneasy and hesitant.

The thoughts of the two of them are clear to Soji Tsugawa, and they must be worried about whether the invasion of the Spo family will be able to successfully resist the Tsugawa family? Now these two people are thinking about how to "stand in line". Whether to continue to fight with Soji Tsugawa and the Spo family, or take the opportunity to leave and wait and see.

Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "Two Tozawa-sama, I don't know what you think about the possible battle with the Spo family in the future? ”

Seeing Soji Tsugawa ask like this, Masaharu Tozawa gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Tsukawa, we will definitely continue to assist the Tsugawa family in fighting against the Spo family." ”

"Hmm" Soji Tsugawa nodded, and asked Tozawa Moritsuna, "What about Moritsuna-sama?"

"It's the same down there," Moritsuna Tozawa echoed.

"Good!" Tsugawa Soji stood up abruptly and said to the retainers in the palace, "Since the Spo family dares to send troops, the family can't be afraid of them!" ”

"Hiroke Yoshikawa, how are the casualties of Ashigaru?"

Yoshikawa Hiroie replied, "My lord, although Umezawa Castle was captured, the Ashigaru casualties of the main family were huge. Seventy-nine were killed, 64 were seriously wounded, and 112 were slightly wounded. Now there are only about 600 people left in Ashigaru who can continue to fight. ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "With the strength of the two Tozawa-sama, our army can still dispatch 800 troops, and we can already fight the Spo family." ”

"Order the whole army to march towards Tasawa City!"

"Hi"

..........

In Tazawa Castle, the strength of the Sibo family is currently being repaired.

The Spo family is a "famous family" in the Mutsu area, and the Spo family has held important positions such as Oshu and Hashu exploration, and the wealthy Osaki in the Mutsu area is the best from the Spo family.

The Sibo family was originally based on the Takasui Temple Castle, so it is also called the Takasui Temple Sibo family. Under the leadership of the lord Spo, the Spo family attacked the Barnyard family in the south to make it submit to the Spo family, and in the north it competed with the southern family for hegemony and seized the Shizukuishi region and the Inogo area in Iwate County, establishing the largest territory of the Spo family in Takasuiji Temple.

And the one who sent troops to Xianbei County this time was the second son of Spo Quangao, the lord of Shizukuishi City, Shizukuishi Quanzhen, who had already gone to the pavilion master pig to Quanyi. (I can't complain about this name.,In addition, these two castles are also known as Shizukuishi Imperial Palace and Pig Go Imperial Palace.,Book friends who have played Shinno 14 should have some impressions.。 ）

Inside the Tazawa Castle Castle, Shizukuishi Kanma said to Inogo Kanyoshi, "Saburo, I just received news that Umezawa Castle has been captured by the Tsugawa family. Masayasu Tozawa and Hanarumi Mori have died in battle. ”

Pig went to Quanyi and nodded, and said, "Brother, it was only a matter of time before Umezawa Castle was captured, but I didn't expect the Tsugawa family to capture Umezawa Castle so quickly." You must know that when my father sent troops to Xianbei County, he also suffered a lot in Umeze City. It can be seen that the combat power of the Tsugawa family should not be underestimated. ”

"Yes, this time the family sent troops in response to the request of Tozawa Masayan and others, but now that Umezawa Castle has been lost, and Tozawa Masaan has also been taken, will we continue to send troops?" Shizukuishi asked. Shizukuishi really attaches great importance to his younger brother, and among the three sons of Spo Quangao, although the eldest son, Spo Jingquan, is very good at internal affairs as an heir, but he is not good at warfare.

And Shizukuishi has been following his brother since he was a child, so the situation is similar to that of Spo Jingquan. Only the pig has the shadow of Si Bo Quangao, who can be civil and martial, not only leading troops to fight with a hand, but also governing the territory decently.

It's because of the combat aspect,Shizukuishi Kanzhen is very concerned about the pig to interpret the opinion.。

Pig went to Quanyi shook his head and said, "Brother, my family has always wanted to capture Xianbei County, a county with fertile land and no strong power. Although the Tsugawa family is rising now, after all, the time is too short. ”

"Now that we've captured Tazawa City, why don't we go straight to Xianbei County in one go?" Pig went to Quanyi and looked at Shizukuishi with excitement.

Shizukuishi replied, "But we only brought 1,200 troops with us this time, which is not enough to occupy the entire Senhoku County, not to mention the constraints of the Tsugawa family, it is impossible to occupy the Senhoku County." ”

This time, the Sibo family sent troops to Xianbei County, but Shizukuishi Quanzhen and Pig went to Quanyi to make their own opinions, and they did not consult Sibo Quangao at all. Of course, on the surface, one person is the head of the Shizukuishi family, and the other is the head of the pig family. (Both families used to be the descendants of the Spo family, and it was only later that Spo Quangao let his two sons inherit the two families.) However, all subordinate forces had to obtain the consent of the master to send troops, and the two of them did not inform Spo Quangao at all.

Therefore, this time, only 700 people from Shizukuishi Kanjin and 500 people from Inogo Kanyi were dispatched, a total of 1,200 people, which was already all the troops that the Spo family could mobilize in Iwate County.

Pig went to Quanyi and said with a smile, "We only need to occupy the city in the Tazawa Lake area, and we have not reported to my father this time, so we still have to report to my father for the next battle, and ask my father to send troops." And we, we just need to control the area along the shores of Lake Tazawa. ”

"In the past, the reason why the family sent troops to Xianbei County in vain was because all the key roads along the Tazawa Lake were under the control of the Tozawa family. Now as long as we occupy these cities, everything will fall into place as soon as my father's army arrives. In this way, the main credit for this battle is our brothers. Haha," Pig said with a laugh.

"yes, haha," Shizukuishi said happily. After a while, Shizukuishi really seemed to think of something, and said, "But Umezawa Castle is now occupied by the Tsugawa family, and if we want to capture Umezawa Castle with this amount of troops, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

After hearing this, the pig pursed his lips and said, "Do you really think that the Tsugawa family will be in Umezawa Castle Cage City?" ”
