Chapter 603: Fiction and Reality

"What! Got it! Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was still asleep, sat up all of a sudden, startling Asai Manfukumaru.

"Really? Where is it? Where is it? Hosokawa Nobumoto asked again and again, this was something that had been bothering him for several days.

"My lord, I have to go to the staff headquarters specifically, Honda-sama, they should already be waiting there." The staff headquarters mentioned by Manfukumaru is a camp tent for preparing military discussions, and there are maps, sand tables and other equipment in it.

"Good! Help me put on my armor! With that, Hosokawa Nobumoto began to get up and change into Jin Tuo Mei and hurried to the staff headquarters.

"The lord has arrived!" As soon as the curtain was lifted, all the retainers and powerful names had arrived.

"Ministers, see the lord!" Everyone knelt down and saluted.

"Well, how? Did you find out where it was? "Hosokawa Nobumoto came to the sand table, where a topographical map was simulated.

"Yes, according to the ninja report, a large number of defenders of the Tsugawa family have been found in Ishinazaka, thirty miles east of here!" Honda finished his salute and got up in reply.

"Ishinazaka?" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the sand table in front of him, looking for it.

"Here you are, my lord! And our army is currently here! Ishinazaka is an important gateway to the Fukushima Basin! Honda Masanobu pointed back and forth on the sand table, informing the locations of the key points.

"Fukushima Basin? Is there any information there? Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the place that finally pointed to the sand table, and asked without looking back.

"Yes, according to previous investigations, the Fukushima Basin is bordered by the Abukuma Highlands to the east and the Ou Mountains to the west. The entire basin is fan-shaped, and the main river is the Abukuma River, so the land is fertile and easy to cultivate, and it is also the main place for growing fruit peaches! "The previous investigation that Honda Masatin said was an allusion to the Mochizuki organization.

"Hmm... Can we find out what is going on inside the basin now? Hosokawa Nobugen thought for a while, the previous reports were all terrain factors, and now he needs to urgently know the intention of this Tsugawa army to stay here, and what is inside.

"Back to the lord, there are heavy guards, and there are many hidden ninjas, and if the ninjas of my family don't pay a little price, I'm afraid it will be difficult to steal in. Dare to ask the lord, is it? Honda asked.

"Forget it, I don't have to. This is the way that his Tsugawa family showed out, so he asked us if we dared to go. Case... Then I'll just take it! Hosokawa Nobumoto's eyes were cold, knowing that this must be Tsugawa Soji deliberately seducing him, and there must be a hidden army behind it.

"Yes! Please give the Lord's order! The crowd bowed their heads and saluted, expecting the lord to call their names.

"Don't be in a hurry first, our army will advance ten miles first, here! Set up camp just so that both sides can see it. Hosokawa Nobumoto pointed to an open space with a wide view that facilitated the movement of the army.

"My lord, this is?" Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was a little confused, wasn't he still anxiously looking for the enemy's main force? If you can't find this, why aren't you in a hurry?

"Hmph, he Tsugawa Soji wants to wait for work, wants to hold our noses and follow his rhythm? Let's not! Now that you know where they are, why hurry? Recharge your energy first, rest all the fatigue during this time, and then make plans! Other than that... Pay more attention to our back road and keep it open at all times! Hosokawa Nobugen did not attack blindly, but was more cautious.

"The lord is wise!" The crowd saluted.

"Well, now that we know where the enemy is, we don't have anything to worry about, so let's go and rest early. The days to come are still long, so be ready for a protracted battle! Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his hand, as if waving away the haze in his heart, and walked out with his legs raised.

"Yes! Congratulations to the Lord! Hosokawa Nobumoto's composure and calmness made everyone feel extremely relieved.

Early the next morning, Hosokawa's army stepped into the established position, set up barracks, and looked at the Tsugawa defenders at Ishinazaka in the distance.

Since then, the Hosokawa army has not been in a hurry to attack, but has begun to rest and wait, and the two families have been safe with each other.

"Strange, what the hell is the Hosokawa family up to? Why not attack yet? "Miki Naogo is the main general responsible for guarding here, and when he looks at the Hosokawa army encamped in the distance and has no sense of attack, he always feels unsure. His blue bei suffered heavy losses in the last battle with the Hosokawa family, and almost lost his banner.

But fortunately, he killed the general of the Hosokawa family, Shinoi Jiaoye, and completely annihilated Dinghai Bei, which was also more merit than demerit, and it took another year to restore the establishment of Blue Bei. In addition, he is a member of the Tsugawa family, and he is very trusted by Tsugawa Soji, so he temporarily leads Bai Bei, because Bai Bei has just died of illness.

Here in Ishinazaka, it was Tsugawa Soji who deliberately put it on to attract the Hosokawa army. I wanted to take the opportunity to wait for work and frustrate the spirit of the Hosokawa family, but I didn't expect that the two families started Tai Chi.

"I don't know, didn't the intelligence say that the Hosokawa army was eager to find our army for a decisive battle?" Nihonmatsu Yoshikuni was also full of doubts, but he gave up all his territory, and Tsugawa Soji promised him that he would be compensated tenfold after the fact.

"Forget it, let's not guess, report this matter to the lord, everything is up to the lord." Miki Naogo shook his head, let's report this matter truthfully.

"It's fine." Nihonmatsu Yoshikuni nodded, he was looking forward to the early defeat of the Hosokawa family.

And just like that, for several more days, there was no military action on either side. Of course, Hosokawa Nobugen is not inactive, and took this opportunity to search the surrounding environment in a carpet manner, but still did not find any abnormalities.

"Strange, am I overthinking?" These days, Hosokawa Nobugen has been thinking about this problem, and the Hosokawa army seems to be resting, but in fact, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, always guarding against sudden attacks.

"Lord, what should I do next? Do you move on or do you stick to it for a while? Or the digested territories obtained? Honda Masanshin opened his mouth and asked for instructions, and the general policy still needs to be decided by the lord.

"The territory taken from this is meaningless in clinging." Hosokawa Nobumoto shook his head and continued: "I'm afraid that production will not be restored here without three or five years, and it will take one or two years just to re-resettle and reclaim the famine. ”

"And this is an enclave, too far away from the family, and there are Kwantung princes in the middle, and it is not easy to keep it, if it is given to them? When it comes back to life, I'm afraid that the Tsugawa family will come to pick the fruit. "It's really a piece of chicken ribs here, it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to abandon it.

"If you attack... Alsoβ€”" Hosokawa Nobumoto was saying, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"Report to the Lord! The enemy forces in Ishinazaka suddenly withdrew! It's empty there! "Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
