"Pass my orders! Enter Level 1 Combat Readiness! Sekigahara Castle can't hold out, and Sekihara is stationed in it! Devon City is heavily defended, and Dewen Bei, Fire Feather Battalion, and two ironclad ships are stationed! Hosokawa Nobumoto confidently began to carry out operational deployment.

"Yes!" Honda Masanobu recorded it on the side.

"Ordered Niko Motohisa and Mimura Motohi to hold the line and continue to confront the Maori family. Order Kuroda Takataka and Akamatsu Noribo to hold Harima Province, and send five more ironclad ships over to block the coastline! Be sure not to let the Uki family and the Mori family take a step forward! Especially at sea! "Hosokawa Nobumoto has completely blockaded the western country, because he will draw all his troops in this battle, and the rear must not be lost.

"Yes! The minister will definitely convey the lord's order! Honda Masashi wrote down another note.

"As for the Shikoku side... Tell Nakamada Taiji to keep an eye on me, once the relatives of Changzong and my department change, let one and the other be sure to resist the attack and wait for the triumphant return of our army! Speaking of Shikoku, Hosokawa Nobumoto paused, now that the naval army of the Nagazong family has been destroyed, it can be said that it will not affect this decisive battle at all, but it is necessary to prevent his resurgence in Tosa Province.

"Yes! The subordinates will definitely convey the lord's strict orders to the father! "Approaching an internal affairs agency received an order.

"Very well, I decide! In Sekigahara! Duel the enemy! The deployment is as follows! Hosokawa Nobumoto took the baton and began to make military deployments on the sand table.

"Our army will be divided into two armies, east and west, the western army will be led by Haruyuki Hosokawa, and the military division Sanada Masayuki will take the land route! Pass through Gyeonggi and Omi to open up the streets of Dongsan-do! Attack advance to Sekigahara! With Hosokawa Fujitaka, Mibuchi Motohao, Hosokawa Motogen, Ikeda Hengxing, and Deura Morikiyo! In addition, there are reinforcements from Niwa Nagahide and Yoshitsugu Miyoshi. "Hosokawa Nobumoto formed the Western Army with Kyoto Bei, Sakamoto Bei, Shinobu Camp and Subordinate Fan Chen, with a total strength of 26,000 men.

Among them, Hosokawa sent 10,000 troops, but Mibuchi Fujiei was injured and could not participate, led by his son-in-law Mibuchi Motohi, and the word "Yuan" of Hosokawa was naturally the partiality of Hosokawa Nobumoto.

Niwa Nagahide sided with Hosokawa Nobumoto and sent 4,000 troops to support the Hosokawa family, if he didn't stand in line again, I'm afraid whoever won wouldn't let him go. In his vision, he firmly believes that it must be Hosokawa Nobumoto who will win in the end!

Ikeda Hengxing sent 2,500 troops, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu sent 4,500 troops, these two people have nothing to say, one has gradually entered the Hosokawa retainers, and the other is naturally here to help the good big brother.

"The Eastern Army is led by me personally! Arrive at Isewan by sea and land, enter from Kita-Ise, and open up the streets of Ise! Attack advance to Sekigahara! Military advisor Honda Masanobu, with Hosokawa Masayuki, Kasai Yoshikiyo, Kagawa Motokei, Tokawa Cunyuki, Kankawa Motorin, Honda Tadakatsu, Oura Nobu, Gamo Fuhide, Tao Tadamoto, Takue Kiyohiro! Reinforcements Aritama Takamasa and Kitada Gokuyo! "He also formed the Eastern Army with Dinghai Bei, Zaga Bei, Shima Bei, Wind Cavalry Battalion, Thunder Artillery Battalion and his subordinate ministers, with a total strength of 20,500.

Among them, Tayama Takamasa gathered 2,500 people from the three counties of Kii, and the future heir of his family, Tayama Noguru, is Hosokawa Shinyuki's own son, who does not help the Hosokawa family?

As for Hosokawa Shinyuki and the Sanuki Four Wealthy Clans, they are also the hardcore sons of the Hosokawa family, with a total of 7,000 troops, but this Kitada Gujiao is a little special.

Hosokawa Nobumoto put a lot of effort into wooing Kitada Gutu, and he is a relationship with each other. First of all, Kitada Gukyo's mother is the daughter of Hosokawa Takakuni, and Hosokawa Takakuni is the fifteenth generation head of the Hosokawa Kyo family, so the Hosokawa family is Gukyo's mother's family.

Although Hosokawa Takakuni was later seized the position of head of the family by Hosokawa Harumoto, it didn't matter, after all, they were all members of the Hosokawa clan, you must know that it was Harumoto's turn to lose power, and the Hosokawa clan also seized the position of the head of the Kyozhao family, he was the adopted son of Takakuni and the elder brother of Hosokawa Fujixian, because of the early death of Takakoku's son-in-law Hosokawa Minoru.

Now... It was Hosokawa Nobumoto who took over as the nineteenth head of the family.

Secondly, Kitada Gukyo's wife is the second daughter of Rokkaku Joyori, and Hosokawa Nobumoto's mother is the eldest daughter of Joyori, so it counts... Kitada Gujiao is still Hosokawa Nobumoto's uncle.

In the end, by a part-time matchmaker who is also a national secretary, Hosokawa Nobumoto's nine-year-old eldest son, Jokaimaru, married Kitada Yukihime and became Kitada Gukyo's adopted heir. If nothing else, after the Jokai Maru Yuan is served, he will be able to inherit the Kitada family of Kuniji.

At this point, the Kitada family and the Hosokawa family became a family, officially fell to Hosokawa Nobumoto, and sent 5,000 troops to support the Hosokawa family.

In fact, in the end, the happiest was Haruyuki Hosokawa, who was very active in preparing and jumping up and down happily. At the beginning, he married a preface who was three years older, and now, Jokai Maru is married to Kitada Yukihime, who is ten years older...

After the military meeting, Hosokawa's army immediately began to advance according to the set goal, and Hosokawa Nobumoto led the eastern army to board the warship, escorted by two ironclad ships, and slowly sailed out of Osaka Bay.

First, they arrived at Saga Castle, replenished their guns and ammunition, and the reinforcements Takayama also boarded the ship here. Then continue on, sail into Ise Bay, and land at Anotsu in Nakaise, where it joins Kitada Gukyo. Two ironclad ships sailed to Devon City to protect the city.

Since the eastern army took the sea route faster than the western army's land route, all the Hosokawa eastern army began to sweep Nakaise first, and all the territory seized went to the Kitada family, which was considered a bride price.

About the time was about right, and the Hosokawa Eastern Army began to enter Kita-Ise and began to move north along the streets of Ise.

The north wind is howling, the temperature is gradually starting to fall below freezing, the marching path is covered with frost, and the sky is beginning to drift with snowflakes.

"My lord, if the weather continues like this, I'm afraid that when we enter Sekigahara, the streets of Ise will be completely blocked by wind and snow." Honda Masanobu protected his eyes with his hands and looked at the sky.

"I remember that the Hokuni Kaido is a narrow mountain road like the Ise Kaido, and if we close the road here due to heavy snow, won't Hashiba Hideyoshi also have the road closed by heavy snow?" Hosokawa Nobumoto was a little puzzled, in Sekigahara, only the wide streets of Higashiyamado were passable in winter.

"Exactly! It seems that the half-guards of Takenaka have even counted the weather, and we are here that the back road is cut off, and they can be ruined there! It's really a good calculation. Honda Masanobu couldn't help but praise this enemy, and he had the advantage of the right time and place.

"Then we can only rely on people, how are you prepared there? Are you sure? Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't help but ask again, this is the key to victory.

"Please rest assured! Everything has been arranged and nothing is guaranteed! The subordinates are willing to use the name of the family to vouch! Honda Masanobu replied solemnly, his tone very confident.

"That's good, I'm a lot relieved to have you." Hosokawa Nobumoto trusted Honda Masanobu very much, and when he heard him say this, he immediately put his worries behind him.

Sekigahara, about to arrive...
