In the castle tower of Sone Castle, the clan is sitting in the assessment room with Inaba Ischitetsu, and Mamoru Ando is sitting in the assessment room chatting.

Two days ago, although the two of them saw that the Takayama clan was confident about the matter of the return to the clan, they also saw that the clan had not been in this city all day, so they felt a little puzzled, but since yesterday, the rumor that the three of Mino had all returned to the Oda family has been spread everywhere in Nishimino has been spread, and the two of them have to admire the resourcefulness of the Takayama clan.

In the eyes of the two of them, the plan of the Gao Shan clan to return to the family should end here, how could they think that it was a chain of plans?

Just as the three of them were talking about today's general trend, a close attendant suddenly ran in from the door and reported: "Report, lord, there is a person outside the city who claims to be a samurai under the command of Maeno Nagayasu, saying that he has something important to ask to see Lord Takayama, and he asks him to decide." ”

After Inaba Ichitetsu saw that the people outside the city had come to ask to see the Takayama clan, not himself, he couldn't help but look at the Takayama clan.

Since Maeno Nagayasu sent people here, it means that Tsuchida Castle should have been captured by him, but the speed of this seizure of the city is really fast enough that he made an appointment with him to go out five days later, and now it is only the morning of the sixth day, and the people he sent have already arrived, is this the Tsuchida Castle guard too wasteful, or is Maeno Nagayasu too strong?

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect speak: "Please also ask Lord Inaba to summon this person into the city, and there is indeed something to discuss with him." ”

After a while, I saw a young samurai follow the attendant in, he came to the middle of the assessment room, first saluted the three adults present, and then said to the Takayama clan: "Report, Takayama-sama, my lord has taken Tsuchida Castle in the early morning of this day, but because the army of my family is alone, it is expected that it will be difficult to hold this castle, so after his subordinates come out, they are ready to destroy the city and return to Sumamata Castle." ”

Speaking of this, I only heard him reluctantly say: "In this battle, my family attacked the city and seized ten thousand pieces of property, and my lord deeply felt the kindness of Takayama-sama, so I am willing to send five thousand of them to my lord, and after returning to Sumamata Castle, I will send someone to Hachiman Castle in the gun, and then ask Takayama to check it." ”

As soon as his voice fell, he saw Ando Mamoru and Inaba Ichitetsu with a frightened look on their faces, this Maeno Nagayasu was really bold, he dared to jump over Ogaki Castle with only four hundred troops, go deep into the hinterland of the Saito family, and attack Tsuchida Castle, isn't he afraid of being cut off by the army led by the clan Bu Quan?

However, he didn't want to develop well in Sumamata Castle, but he had to risk the destruction of the whole army and attack Tsuchida Castle, what was this for? Could it be that he had already found out before he left the army that this Murai Shinhachiro had ten thousand family wealth? Probably not, although this Maeno Nagayasu is not a resourceful person, he appreciates the all-round talents of civil and military affairs in a single page, and he values his reputation very seriously, how can he take such a big risk for some money?

Besides, he is not under the command of the Gaoshan Clan, he can't take Tsuchida Castle, he doesn't need to report to the Gaoshan Clan if he retreats, and he still has 5,000 Guan who wants to send, isn't it... Could it be that this is also the strategy of the Gaoshan Clan?

That's right, this must be the strategy of the Takayama clan, and Ando Mamoru and Inaba Ittetsu always feel that this matter has a lot to do with the matter of the Kazuki clan, but for a while, he can't figure out the true intention of the Takayama clan, and how can he conclude that the clan Buquan will definitely not go out of the city? I'll have to ask him for advice in a moment.

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but focus their eyes on the Gaoshan clan again, only to see the Gaoshan clan sect smile slightly, and said: "This lord, please go back and tell Lord Maeno, his heart is understood by the clan clan, Lord Maeno is righteous, take a big risk to help the army, the clan is already grateful, please go back and tell the Maeno clan, these Qian clan sects will not accept it no matter what." ”

Yamashita Fujinosuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the resoluteness of the Takayama clan's words, but now he is becoming more and more unable to understand the lord and this Takayama lord, the lord is listening to Takayama Lord's plan, so he will have such a receipt, although the lord gave away half of the money at once, but he can still understand, however, this Takayama Lord resolutely refuses to accept it, which makes it difficult for him to understand, this money is obviously what he deserves, but why should he shirk it? If it were me, I would definitely accept the money without hesitation. …,

The more Yamashita Fujinosuke thinks about it, the more headaches he gets, and he can only use his own identity too low, so he can't guess what they're thinking, since he can't figure it out, then he simply doesn't want to think about it, anyway, he has already said what he should say, and this Takayama Lord resolutely refuses to accept it, so it's none of his business.

Thinking of this, I only heard Yamashita Fujinosuke speak again: "Yes, please rest assured that Lord Takayama will definitely convey the words of the lord to the lord." After saying that, he saw that Takayama-sama had no more instructions, so after bowing, he quickly withdrew from the castle tower.

As soon as he left, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "I don't know if Lord Takayama asked Maeno Nagayasu to seize Tsuchida Castle, how can I know that the Dao clan will not send troops to stop it?" ”

I saw that the Takayama clan clan smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Inaba, it can be seen from the information collected below that the clan Bu Quan has won the trust of Saito Ryuxing, and if it is just rumors, I am afraid it will not make Saito Ryuxing believe, if the clan Bu Quan personally goes to Inabayama Castle to explain, then the rumors do not need to be broken, and Maeno Nagayasu passed by but did not attack, but went to attack Tsuchida Castle, which is not believed by Saito Ryuxing, and Tsuchida Castle is the place under the rule of Murai Shinhachiro, this city is broken, He will definitely hate the family Buquan, so how can he not take the opportunity to slander Saito Ryuxing? As long as the sword is served, it will be difficult to distinguish the whole family. ”

Speaking of this, the clan clan was fascinated when he saw that Ando Mamoru and Inaba Ichitetsu listened to it, and after letting them digest it, he continued: "The clan Buquan is a cautious person, when he saw that there were only a few hundred Oda troops passing outside the city, he must have thought that it was to lure him out of the city, so he thought that he would definitely not go out of the city, so as not to be attacked by the ambush army outside the city, but how could he have thought that the four hundred troops of Maenno Nagayasu were really heading for Tsuchida Castle?"

Moreover, as long as the clan is afraid that there is an ambush by the Oda army outside the city, then for the time being, they will not go to Inabayama Castle to want Saito Ryuxing to explain, so now they are only waiting for Saito Ryuko to send an army to crusade, and if the person who commands the army is Murai Shinhachiro, it will be even better. ”

After the clan finished speaking, Ando Mamoru and Inaba Ichitetsu were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but show reverence, only to hear them speak: "Lord Takayama's clever plan, admire, admire." ”

Seeing that the two of them were completely convinced by themselves, the clan couldn't help but hurriedly said: "The two adults are polite, this plan was also thought of by chance, which made the two adults laugh." ”……，
