Chapter 769: Counter-Plot

In the southern part of Kyushu, on the Hisa Military Road, the Hosokawa army marched toward the north of Hyuga with various banners and neat queues.

"My lord, the south of Iino Castle is Kisakihara, and it was Shimazu Yoshihiro's Orino Fushi who became famous." Katakura Keixuna rode behind Hosokawa Motokatsu, and they finally decided to end the campaign before the end of the year and took the initiative to seek the enemy's main force for a decisive battle.

"Well, I know, so when we got to the front, we turned east and made the illusion of attacking Minami Hinata to lure the other side to come out and meet it." Hosokawa Motokatsu naturally understands Orino Fushi, after all, in order to be able to defeat the opponent, you must first understand the opponent.

"If so... If the enemy doesn't come out, will they still be hiding in Iino Castle? "Ito Yubing is also on the side, and Hyuga is the territory of his Ito family, and he is relying on him to lead the way.

"Then let him continue to shrink in! Let's really attack Minami Hyuga! Turn him upside down! Hosokawa Motokatsu sneered and decided to make a false statement.

"The young lord is wise, Shimazu Yoshihiro has just ascended to the position of head of the family, and his prestige needs to be consolidated. Some time ago, I couldn't go out of the house, and I could use the sharpness of our navy as an excuse to suppress the injustice in the family. Now that we have left our navy behind and gone deep into the land route, if he doesn't do something about it... I'm afraid that people will turn their backs, after all, there is also a Shimazu family who is known for his subtlety in military law and tactics. Andβ€”" Matsunaga raised his eyebrows, his eyes rolled wildly, and he began to brew a poisonous plan.

"Among the four Shimazu brothers, Isahisa and the other three are half-brothers, and although they are usually outstanding in personal ability, they are always pressed down by the three brothers. Now that Yoshijiu and Yoshihiro are all dead, only Yoshihiro is left, and it has become a situation of one mountain and two pigs. Young master, it only takes a little trickery to make the two brothers have a gap. "Matsunaga is the most cunning and cunning, the best at perceiving people's hearts, discovering the evil sources in human nature, making them infinitely magnified, and finally achieving the goal of self-defeat.

Hosokawa Motokatsu looked at Matsunaga Hide's vicious smiling face, and couldn't help but shudder, and thought of the other person in the "Hosokawa Two Evil Shows", Tianhai (Akechi Mitsuhide), both of whom are notoriously ruthless.

"Oh? Matsunaga-sama has a good plan, why doesn't the young master adopt it? It just so happens that we can also come to a mountain to watch the pig fight. Seeing that Motokatsu was speechless, Hosokawa Haruyuki knew that he was a little stunned in his heart, and immediately opened his mouth in agreement, easing the cold atmosphere.

"Whew... I wonder what Matsunaga-sama is going to do? Is there anything that needs to be done next? Hosokawa Motokatsu stabilized his mind, he really couldn't suppress Matsunaga Xiu.

"Hehe... Since ancient times... Rumor... But it's an invisible weapon of tongue and tongue that kills people..."Matsunaga Xiu's face became even more gloomy, as hideous as an evil ghost, and the people around him immediately distanced themselves from him a little.

Just kidding, even the air around me is cold and uncomfortable.

"Ahem!" Matsunaga Shu also seemed to feel that he was laughing too badly, and with a dry cough turned into a cold face, he continued, "The rumors about Shimazu Yoshihiro are... The Shimazu family has long been ready to submit to us, and the condition of the subordination is that we recognize him as the head of the Shimazu family and support him. The rumors about Shimazu Ihisa there are... Yoshihiro Shimazu listened to the rumor in front of him and prepared to kill him to secure his position..."

"And you, young master... All it takes is a public statement acknowledging that Shimazu Iehisa is the current governor of the Shimazu family. ”

"It's... Can it be done? This is obviously the discord we are using, and anyone can know that we are here to spread rumors. "Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is not afraid of Matsunaga Xiu, this stupid child has always been like a half-father and half-brother to Jiuxiu.

"If you know, you know, it's okay!" Matsunaga Xiu's face was full of indifference, and he wasn't worried about this at all: "Do you know how powerful rumors are? You only need to set up a basic version, and someone will spread it later, and it will also fix some more superficial mistakes, and finally it will be said with a nose and eyes, just like the real thing. ”

"Huh? And also... Self-improvement? "Sanhao Yiji, what are you doing, what are your eyes, this rumor-mongering will still be like this.

"The plan is good, even if it doesn't work, it's good to be disgusting and disgusting to them." Hosokawa Fujitaka also thinks it's feasible.

"Good! That's it, but the direction of the army will not change, and it will not go out of place to stay! Hosokawa Motokatsu nodded in agreement with the counter-plan.

"My lord, what if Shimazu Iehisa really comes to surrender? Receiving? Approaching Sanada Yukimura, he said the doubts in his heart, remembering that before the Kyoto expedition, the main hall could be named to make the Shimazu family perish.

"Hahaha! I just let the young master admit that the Shimazu family is the current governor, but I didn't say that I would accept their family. "Matsunaga Shu is completely playing with words, and there are a lot of hidden pits.

"Yes, in this way, if Shimazu Iehisa wants to take a stand, he must come to fight me!" Hosokawa Motokatsu also thought of this and lured the snake out of the hole.

"Yuanyi, I'll leave the rumor-mongering to you." In the end, the job was handed over to Motoyoshi Nitoki, after all, it was still the ninja who was the best.

"Yes!" Renmu Yuanyi nodded and quietly retreated.

Gossip... It's like having wings in Hyuga... It took less than three days to spread the news, and it also reached the ears of the Shimazu Yoshihiro and Iehisa brothers.

"Bastard! What does that guy want to do! Shimazu Yoshihiro snapped and shattered his beloved tea bowl.

"Lord, please don't believe these rumors, this is clearly a discordant plan!" Kitago Shijiu hurriedly advised, for fear that the lord would break with the Shimazu family as soon as he was excited.

"Humph! Don't I know it's a divisive scheme? But... It's been a month, and my family hasn't come to join me for a long time... It's hard to believe that he really doesn't have such thoughts. "Shimazu Yoshihiro suppressed his anger, and since he let Kiiri Jijiu pass the order to converge, Shimazu Iehisa has prevaricated for various reasons, and he has not come to Iinojo Castle until now.

"My lord is right! Not only did Shimazu Iehisa not lead his troops to come, but even Joy Jijiu did not return, he must have taken refuge in Shimazu Iehisa! His subordinates have long said that he has a heart of disobedience! The five generations of Yuki hurriedly agreed, and he sent the Ryuzoji family to ask for help, but the other party refused. I was worried that I didn't have a chance to clear up my defeat, so I just took the opportunity to pour dirty water on Ji Jiu, so as to divert the attention of the lord.

"Hmm..."Shimazu Yoshihiro has a headache now, he has just taken over the position of head of the family, and his direct subordinates are quite obedient, but some of the original important ministers of the family are urging themselves to return to the army to rescue.

Originally, it was possible to use the sharpness of the Hosokawa Navy to suppress their imminent hearts, but now that the Hosokawa Army is far away from the coast, many people have begun to bring up the matter of returning aid again, including the Hokago, who has just been advised.

"My lord! His Royal Highness Iehisa has come down to the letter! Suddenly, a close samurai came in from outside the house and pulled out a letter from his bosom.

"Quick! Show it to me! Shimazu Yoshihiro grabbed it, unfolded it, and glanced at it a few times in a hurry, sometimes hesitant and sometimes firm in his eyes, and finally...

"Pass the order! Tomorrow morning! Dispatch troops to Minami Hyuga! Fight the Hosokawa family! "I want to talk to more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
