"Father, just after the first battle, the family lost 65 ashigaru, and more than 10 others are currently missing," Takahashi said to Takahashi Kokoku.
"So much loss?" Takahashi Xingguo said with a solemn face.
"Father, the Tsugawa family's combat effectiveness is really strong," Takahashi Xingjia said stupidly, "In the case of being ambushed by the family again, the strength of the family is facing a rout in such a short time, if it weren't for the timely retreat of the Tsugawa family, I'm afraid that we would have gone to see Afun at this time." ”
"Alas, there's no point in talking about this now, has the detective who went to inquire about the situation come back?" Takahashi asked.
"Not yet, but it's estimated that it's going to be soon" Before Takahashi Xingjia's voice fell, a detective with a flag on his back strode over.
"How's the situation in Dongxiang City? Tanaka-sama: Have they taken the castle? Takahashi asked eagerly.
"My lord, Tanaka-sama and Matsumoto-sama, they have already retreated. When his subordinates arrived at Togo Castle, the Tsugawa family had already controlled Togo Castle. Detective replied.
Takahashi Xingguo instantly seemed to lose his strength, and his right hand hung down weakly. "Is it still falling short? Alas, if only the family could hold on a little longer, maybe it's us in Dongxiang City right now."
"Father, what are we going to do now?" Takahashi asked. "Order, withdraw to Takahashi Castle," Takahashi Xingguo said helplessly.
"Hi"
......
In a forest 5 miles outside Togo Castle, there are hundreds of Ashigaru of the Tanaka family and the Matsumoto family.
"Tanaka-sama, I didn't expect the Tsugawa family to come so soon. We didn't get any benefit from sending troops this time. Matsumoto said to Tanaka Koyoshi beside him.
It's okay not to mention this, but as soon as I mentioned this Tanaka Qinyoshi, I was immediately angry. "Takahashi Xingguo's waste, delay the Tsugawa family for a while, even if it's a quarter of an hour. It only takes a quarter of an hour for us to storm the castle tower in one fell swoop, and even if Tsugawa Soji arrives, with the family of the Togo family, I am not afraid that the Tsugawa family will not compromise. And now .... Alas"
"Tanaka-sama, the matter has come to this, so there is no need to be too entangled." Matsumoto Juntaka said comfortingly.
"Matsumoto-sama, we originally decided in advance, the first step of the plan is to capture Togo Castle, and then implement the second step plan, but now the first step has not been completed, I think the second step might as well be left at that?" Tanaka Kiyoshi said.
"Tanaka-sama can't agree with this. Even if we don't capture Togo Castle, it doesn't actually hinder our second step," said Matsumoto Juntaka with a picture of the old god there.
"Oh? Matsumoto-sama still seems to be a little unwilling? Tanaka said with a smile.
"Humph! Dongxiang City, which is about to be acquired, is gone. You say I'm not angry, but what can I do? Matsumoto said with a depressed face.
"But if the second step of the plan is realized, now you and I will already suffer heavy losses when we attack Dongxiang City, if you ....."
"Hmph, it's true that we suffered heavy injuries, can Takahashi Xingguo be any better?" Matsumoto Quangao suddenly said proudly, "With only 200 troops, if you fight against the Tsugawa family, which is several times your size, you will lose at least half of it." Only that idiot from Takahashi Xingguo would lead his troops to stop the Tsugawa family's forces so easily. ”
"Our two families still have at least 200 troops left, so we may not be able to capture Takahashi Castle in one fell swoop," Matsumoto continued.
"Hmph, I originally planned to wait until I captured Togo Castle and forced the Tsugawa family to retreat before I came to clean up this Takahashi Quan Gao, but now that this is the case, I can only attack him" Tanaka Qinyoshi said indignantly.
"yes. The losses of your two families must be compensated for by something" After speaking, Matsumoto Juntaka and Tanaka Qinyoshi looked at each other and smiled.
As he spoke, Tanaka Fukichi stood up and said to the ashigaru around him, "Everyone. Originally, we were about to capture Togo Castle, but at the last moment, the people of the Tsugawa family arrived. You say, who is to blame for this? ”
Hearing Tanaka Qinyoshi's words, the ashigaru around you look at me, and I see that you don't know how to answer.
Matsumoto Quantaka saw that the situation had not yet been clear, and he also said loudly: "The reason why the Tsukawa family rushed to Togo Castle so quickly is precisely because the group of cowards of the Takahashi family did not dare to fight with the Tsugawa family, so the Tsukawa family rushed to Togo Castle in such a short time. You say, 'Who is to blame for this?' ”
After listening to Matsumoto Quan Taka's words, a ashigaru stood up and said timidly, "Strange high. Takahashi Family" "Yes, Takahashi Family" Tanaka Qinyoshi showed an affirmative expression at this Ashigaru and said, "So, Matsumoto-sama and I have decided to jointly send troops to Takahashi Castle. When the time comes, how about taking the city and plundering it at will? ”
The blockbuster news of "Wow" instantly knocked on the ashigaru present and couldn't find the north. "But. Aren't the Takahashi family our allies? A foot whispered.
"That was before. But now, from the time when the Takahashi family was still supported by the Tsugawa family to Togo Castle, he was no longer our ally. Tanaka reprimanded.
"Everyone, think about it, if it weren't for the Takahashi family to let the Tsugawa family go. We're not at a loss for what to do here, but we're having fun with a lot of money and women in Togo Castle," Matsumoto Juntaka took the opportunity to incite.
"Yes" "Yes, what Matsumoto-sama said is right" For a while, the emotions of the ashigaru present were instantly aroused by Matsumoto Juntaka's incendiary voice.
"Go to the Takahashi family for revenge." "Yes, revenge," the ashigaru shouted.
"Well, now that you've got it. Now, then, take up your spears and weapons. Attack Takahashi Castle with us. Matsumoto said loudly.
"Hoh," the ashigaru men howled.
Seeing that the ashigaru's hatred for the Takahashi family was successfully aroused, Tanaka Jinyoshi and Matsumoto Juntaka looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw something in each other's eyes - excitement
"Go" "Ho"
"Takahashi Xingguo, don't blame me, blame you for being too kind. And kindness is always the epitaph of the successful"
......
Inside the castle tower of Togo Castle.
"Lord Tsugawa, thank you for your tireless efforts to support our family." Togo Yoshiyu said to Soji Tsugawa.
"Togo-sama is serious, my father-in-law is in trouble, and my family is duty-bound," Tsugawa Soji said with a smile, "Unfortunately, my father-in-law was still killed." ”
"Yes," Togo Yoshiyu replied sadly.
"Do you have pen and paper? I would like to write a paragraph for my father-in-law myself," Soji Tsugawa said to Togo Yoshiyu.
"Yes, Your Highness, please come with me." Saying that, Togo Yoshisuke took Tsugawa Soji to a case in the main hall, "Your Highness, please"
Soji Tsugawa picked up the pen and pondered for a moment, a smile on the corner of his mouth. Then he wrote a paragraph with a pen, and after a while, Soji picked up the pen and said to Togo Yoshiyu, "I don't know if Togo-sama recognizes the characters of Mingguo"
"This natural person," Togo Yoshisuke replied, picking up the paper written by Soji Tsugawa and reading it.
"Great in life, glorious in death" "This. This" Togo Yoshisuke looked at the words in his hand, his eyes turned red, and he immediately fell to the ground and said to Tsugawa Soji: "My brother can get such praise from His Royal Highness, presumably under the nine springs, he can also rest in peace."
"Lord Dongxiang, please get up quickly, my father-in-law's heroic appearance in fighting today is really admired by my generation." Soharu Tsugawa did not blush at all when he plagiarized the words of a great man of later generations to a certain martyr. (Tsugawa Soji: Made, only other pig's feet are allowed to plagiarize all kinds of Tang and Song poems, can't His Highness get one out?) )
Togo Yoshisuke knelt on the ground and said to Tsugawa Soji: "Lord Tsukawa, although the elder brother has been killed, the two families have already concluded a marriage relationship before, so Yukihime and His Royal Highness already have a name. Please also ask Tsukawa-sama to bring Yukihime back when he returns to Tsugawa Castle this time. It's not safe for Yukihime to stay in Dongxiang City now."
"Don't worry, Lord Togo, His Royal Highness will naturally bring Yukihime with him when he returns to the army, after all, she is the main wife of my Tsugawa family" After Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, he thought about what the graceful figure in his mind said, and said to Togo Yoshisuke evilly: "Lord Togo, don't you want to take revenge?" ”
