"Kubota-sama, I wonder what you think?" After Yoshiyuki Sato turned around and saw that the person who spoke before was Kubota Ieji, he hurriedly asked humbly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Among the retainers of the Anton family, the Kubota family is good at strategy. What's more, Kubota Ieji has a great relationship with the housewife of the Anton family, and even if Yoshiyuki Sato doesn't have to deliberately please Kubota Ieji, there is still respect on the surface.

Anton Shunji was also puzzled and said, "Izu Mamoru, why not?" What Yoshiyuki said before is indeed a good way. After speaking, Anton Shunji looked at Kubota Ieji with a puzzled look on his face, waiting for a reply.

Kubota Ieji shook his head and said, "My lord! It is true that what Sato-sama said is true, even if the Asari family really takes advantage of the chaos to attack the family, as long as they hold Fengzhang Castle, they can ensure that the family has no worries. But my lord, Feng Zhangcheng and the territory are safe, so what about our side? ”

"Originally, the number of troops of the family was at a disadvantage, and according to the current strength of the Asari family, it is still possible to dispatch seven or eight hundred people. Then to defend Fengzhangcheng, the family needs at least three to five hundred people to be transferred to Fengzhangcheng. In this way, the strength of the family will be weakened a little, how to deal with the army of the Tsugawa family? Kubota said with a worried face.

Anton Shunji was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "What Izu Mamoru said is extremely true, it is indeed a last resort, and our current strength is absolutely impossible to divide our troops." ”

"However, if you don't divide your troops to return to Fengzhangcheng. What if the Asari family really sent troops to attack their own family? At that time, even if the attack of the Tsugawa family is blocked, the territory of the family will be captured by the Asari family. At that time, the family will face the enemy's front and rear attacks, and it is bound to be defeated! Anton Shunji continued.

Kubota Ieji smiled and said loudly, "Lord! It is necessary to know that the upper one uses wisdom, and the lower one uses force. What can be done without abandoning a single soldier, why do you risk being defeated by the Tsugawa family and forcibly divide your troops? ”

"Oh? Izu kept this word, but what good way to do it? Anton Shunji suddenly looked at Kubota Ieji with a hopeful look, and Sato Yoshiyuki and others on the side also looked curiously at Kubota Ieji with a smile on his face, wanting to know what kind of solution this old man who was good at strategy could say.

Kubota Ieji nodded and said, "My lord, it's actually easy to eliminate the threat from the Asari family, all you need is a letter from my lord. ”

"Letter?" Anton Shunji said puzzledly, "Do you want me to write a letter to Asaari Zeyou and ask him not to send troops?" But shallow Li Zeyou may not necessarily agree. ”

"No, no, no." Kubota Ieji shook his head like a rattle, "This letter is not for Asari Noriyu, but for Okatsuyori"

"Da Ge Shenglai?" Anton Shunji nodded thoughtfully.

Kubota Ieji continued, "Not bad! When the Asari family was in civil strife last year, the family worked together with the southern family to help Da Ge Shenglai! Now, if the Qianli family sends troops to attack their own family, then the territory will be empty! Once the family informs the news of this to the Great Ge Shenglai, I believe that the Great Ge Shenglai, who is forced to integrate the Asari family and take over the position of the governor of the family, will definitely solve the trouble of Asari Zeyou for us. After speaking, Kubota Ieji gently stroked the beard on his chin, looked at Anton Shunji with a smile, and stopped talking.

"Hahaha!" Anton Shunji suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "It's worthy of Mamoru Izu, it's really resourceful!" No wonder my father said that it was a pity that Samiko and I couldn't keep Izu in our house on the day I got married! ”

"But now that Izu Mamoru can work for his family, he can be regarded as making up for his father's regrets! With the help of Izu Mamoru , this family is thousands of feet light! Anton Shunji said boastfully.

"Where, where! The lord is too modest. Kubota Ieji said with a humble face, but in fact, his heart was still full of pride.

However, the expressions of the two fell on the hearts of the retainers such as Yoshiyuki Sato, who were on the side, and there was something uncomfortable. I and the others have worked hard for the Anton family for half their lives, although it is true that they have not come up with a good way, but the lord, you will not praise a retainer who has just joined the family so much, right? Where does this place us retainers?

"In this case, I will immediately leave a copy of the letter, clarify the stakes, and send someone to Dage City to hand over to Dage Shenglai!" Anton Shunji couldn't wait to say, "In addition, how about I promise an additional 1,000 yuan as the reward for Da Ge Shenglai's troops?" ”

"Hmm. With this thousand dollars, things are more secure. Kubota Ieji said slowly, "Without further ado, you must dare to hand over the letter to Daikatsuyori before the Asari family attacks the main family!" ”

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

In fact, the concerns of Anton Shunji and Kubota Ieji and others are completely overwhelmed.

Since two days ago, after Asari Noriyu, together with Kadowaki Masayoshi and others, held a banquet at Yagibashi Castle to kill Asari Yorishige and Asari Dingyori, Asari Noriyu personally explained the "crimes" of Asari Yorishige and others to the Ashigaru of the Asari family at the suggestion of Kadokichi Kadoki. Then Masayoshi Kadoki took out the savings of the Kadowaki family over the years, a total of 1,100 kan, and 4,000 koku of grain to distribute to these peasants.

So, I don't know if it was Asari Noriyu's words that moved these ashigaru, or if the money and food distributed by Kadowaki Masayoshi played a role. The peasants and soldiers under the command of Lai Zhong and Lai Li Dinglai were indignant and expressed their willingness to obey the orders of the lord from now on!

Of course, there are also more than a dozen die-hard elements of Asari Yorishige and others who want to fight to the death, and now the heads of these people have been hung on the castle tower of Yagibashi Castle.

Subsequently, Asari Noriyu and Kadowaki Masari father and son led this 800-strong peasant army to march quickly towards the main fortress. Taking advantage of the night, Qianli Zeyou and others quietly entered the city. The samurai guarding the gate was one of the few henchmen of Asari Noriyu, and it was easy to let Asari Noriyu and others enter the city.

Subsequently, Kadowaki Masayori and Kadowaki Masayoshi rushed into the house of Asari Masanori, who was left behind in Ducobalt Castle, and hacked Asari Masanori to death while still asleep. Since then, with the death of the three brothers of Asari Lai Chong, the power of the Asari family has finally returned to the hands of Asari Zeyou.

However, before Asari Li Zeyou was happy, a piece of bad news came.

Okatsuyori didn't know where to learn about the great changes that had taken place in the Asari family, and took the opportunity to send 600 troops from the main base of Okatsukan to Nakano Castle, in addition, the lord of Otakikan Castle, Maeyama Zensuke, and the lord of the twelve castles, Ota Dinghisa, also sent more than 100 troops to cooperate with Okatsuyori.

Seeing that Dage Katsuyori was preparing to cross Nakano Castle towards Ducobalt Castle with great momentum, Asarishi Noriyu, Kadowaki Masari and others had no time to repair, and hurriedly led this unstable Ashigaru to the Nakano Castle area 2 miles north of Nakano Castle to defend against the enemy.

Subsequently, the Asari family and the Dage family confronted each other in the Nakano area.

Therefore, now the Asari family does not have the spare time to attack the Anton family, and the idea of Anton Shunji and Kubota Ieji can be called redundant.
