In the assessment room, the retainers all stared at the clan, waiting for the lord to set the date of the expedition, after all, if the date was not set, then today would be equivalent to nothing.

However, to the surprise of the retainers, the lord not only did not make a decision, but did not even mention it, and even announced the dissolution of the meeting. In this way, the retainers could not sit still.

However, the person who spoke was not the retainer who led the army, but Tadaji Kagawa. "Lord, I don't know when the army will set out, and my subordinates should allocate grain and grass earlier."

I saw the clan said with a smile: "Hehe, this is not in a hurry. ”

"Uh, this, my lord, the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, this is really in a hurry." As their status became higher and higher, the three of them had to put on a serious appearance, after all, they thought that only in this way could they be worthy of the status of the important ministers of the Gaoshan family. However, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and it is obvious that Kagawa Tadaji can't sit still.

If Kagawa Tadaji is a fan of the authorities, then Nakamura Kazuji, who sat next to him and was also the first to follow the clan, had a heart like Spiegel.

Seeing that Kagawa Tadaji was still about to open his mouth and wanted to ask, he couldn't help but gently tug at his sleeve, and then whispered: "I said Qingbei, you said that you have also followed the lord for more than ten years, why haven't you understood it, the lord doesn't say it, this is obviously preparing for yin, but I don't know who is preparing yin."

After listening to Kagawa Tadaji, his eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, every time the lord is a yin person, it seems that he has this expression, it seems that he still doesn't talk nonsense, so as not to recruit the lord to not be welcome.

And the other retainers didn't ask Kagawa Tadaji when they saw it, so I'm afraid that even if they asked again, they wouldn't get any results. So I just let it go. Anyway, the tone has been set. Going out is a matter of time or time, and this year, due to the lack of work, the ashigaru is somewhat lazy, so he just took the opportunity to train well.

Seeing that the retainers did not speak again. "Since you don't have anything to say, let's break up the meeting, the two military advisors, Mizuse Uemon stay, and the meeting ends!"

Clan Zong after changing clothes. Walk into a quiet room, where three retainers are already waiting. Seeing the arrival of the lord, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The subordinates see the lord." ”

"Alright, you can all do whatever you want. After speaking, I only listened to the clan sect and asked, can the three of you know that Lu Dao left you alone this time, what is the so-called matter? ”

"If the subordinates' guess is correct, I'm afraid the lord is going to unite with Tokugawa." Honda Masanobu is worthy of being a resourceful man, and without any hints from the clan, he can guess a rough idea.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Sanada Masayuki continued: "I'm afraid it's more than that. Otherwise, the lord would not be so careful. ”

"Oh? Tell me, what do I think? The clan asked with interest.

"At the moment, in terms of the general trend. It has become an indisputable fact that the main hall rules the central part, and no one can interfere here, and looking at the layout of the main hall, I am afraid that there are already candidates in the west, and Lord Kinoshita has lived up to the trust of the main hall, and has now gained a foothold in the western country. Therefore, if the lord wants to develop, he can only go east, and the Takeda family of the eastern country has declined, but the Hojo family is still strong, so the subordinates guess that the lord intends to take advantage of this battle to consume the strength of the Hojo family, and the more the strength of the Hojo family is consumed, the easier it will be for the family to seize the Kanto. ”

"Ha Luha, the one who knows me is lucky, but you still have a little less to say, that is, the Tokugawa family, the Tokugawa family may give you a very weak impression, but this is just a superficial phenomenon, the strength of the Tokugawa family is much stronger than the surface. And Tokugawa Ieyasu is very much more than a little able to forbear, such a person on the side, such a thorn in the back I can rest assured, now I can take this opportunity, not to mention the elimination of Tokugawa, but also let it and Hojo fight to lose. ”

"I might as well wait for the wisdom of the lord." The three of them hurriedly said.

"Well, let's not talk about these useless things, if you want to achieve such a goal, it is not a simple matter." Speaking of this, I saw that the clan clan lowered his head and thought about it, and then continued: "First of all, in order to achieve the goal, Uemon has a great responsibility, first, you must let the Tokugawa family plan to attack the Takeda family in an all-out way, and after the matter is completed, then let the Takeda family know the Tokugawa family and the Tokugawa family to attack together, and third, to urge the Hojo family to participate in the war. The order of these three points must not be messed up, can you do it? ”

I only heard Mizuse Uemon say without hesitation: "Please rest assured that your subordinates will live up to the trust of your lord." But..."

"Just say what you have."

"Yes, but how can the lord be sure that the Tokugawa family will unite with the main family? In addition, if the Takeda family knew that the Hondo family was going to attack, they would definitely send men and horses into Minami Shinano, so that the family would probably face a hard battle, and if the Hojo family did not help Takeda, the Tokugawa family would be able to take advantage of the situation, so the family would probably be able to make a wedding dress for others. ”

This Minase Uemon can ask so much, and the clan is very happy, which proves that he is not a brainless person, although his vision is still a little narrower, but it is enough to collect information or something.

Looking at the two military advisors, they were just smiling, and it seemed that they had figured out cause and effect. In order to make Mizse Uemon better complete the task, the clan still explained: "Once Tokugawa Ieyasu knows that the Mizumi family will send troops to Takeda, no matter what, he will send people to unite, after all, he has always wanted to capture Kai, and his army is so strong that once the troops are dispatched, then if he captures Minami Shinano, it is not impossible to capture Kai again, so he will come to unite." ”

"Let's talk about Takeda, what can Takeda do even if he sends troops here, and besides, although Takeda Katsuyori has already controlled Xinjia on the surface, there are many people who disobey it, if it is forcibly assigned, maybe it will be another civil strife, so it can only rely on foreign aid."

"As for the Hojo family, there is no need to worry, now that the Takeda family is used as a buffer, there is no need to directly face the Oda family, and once Takeda is destroyed, then with its strength, how can it resist the Oda family? So even if Takeda Katsuyori doesn't pull out a dime, he will do his best to help. However, when the family attacked Minami Shinano, Takeda would definitely not let the Hojo Army enter the territory to fight, so he could only meet with the Tokugawa army. ”

After listening to Mizuse Uemon's heart, he finally had a bottom in his heart, so he said that although it seemed that his task was very heavy, in fact, he only played a role in fueling the troubles.

"Alright, this will happen immediately."

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

Then the clan and Honda Masanobu, Sanada Masayuki discussed some details of the problem, and now the hidden danger in the north has been basically lifted with the entry of Asai Nagamasa, so this battle in addition to leaving a small part of the army, the rest can go out, this battle can be said to be the Takayama family's foreign troops, the largest number of troops. (To be continued......)
