After the retainers all browsed the contents of the codex, this thing was handed over to the Kitabatake Gujiao, this codex that people can see through at a glance, it was from the hand of Hosono Fuji Light, a few days later, Nishino Fuji Light saw that there was no news from the Kitabatake family, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and at the same time he was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he wanted to use this thing to urge the Kitabatake Gujiao, but he didn't expect it to backfire.

In the assessment room, after Omiya finished speaking, those samurai who still wanted to fight had also calmed down, and they were very glad that they didn't speak first just now, otherwise, if after leaving the army, the army's army was ambushed by the enemy, or the city of Okochi was breached, and it was nothing to apologize for his seppuku, but if it led to the destruction of the Kitabatake family, then he would never be able to turn over.

Thinking of this, I only heard most of the retainers speak: "The lord, the subordinates think that what Lord Omiya said is reasonable, and at present, the family should only stick to it, and it is not appropriate to go out lightly, and the lord will make a decision." ”

After Kitabatake's unacceptable answer, he couldn't help but turn to the Kitabatake, who was sitting next to his avatar, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Although Kitabatake Gufang has been the successor of the head of the family for more than two years, he has never been the master once, and after he succeeded to the throne, the retainers still became the father of the lord, calling themselves the young masters, especially the three retainers who were deeply trusted by their fathers, such as the wooden house, and did not take themselves seriously.

Although Kitabatake Gufang is cowardly by nature and does not dare to resent his father, he is very dissatisfied with these three retainers, but he also knows that in his father's heart, the weight of these three people far exceeds his own, and it is not too late to turn his face with them at this time, and it is not too late to turn his face with them after he has mastered the power.

Thinking of this, I only heard Kitabatake's mouth speak: "Back to my father, Wood, Toriya and Seki-sama have not spoken, why don't my father ask them what countermeasures they have." ”

Kitabatake Gujiao also knew that his son couldn't think of any way, and he just asked casually just now, so he didn't say much to him, but asked the three retainers: "What do you three think, don't you say it directly." ”

Among the three of them, it can be said that the weight of Toriya O's Mitsuei in the heart of the Kitabatake Gujiao is far less than that of Kizoku Masato and Seki Shengxin, so under normal circumstances, he will wait for these two adults to finish before he will say his advice.

But he found that when the lord finished speaking, Muzao Guzheng and Guan Shengxin did not mean to speak, but were looking down and thinking, he was afraid that the lord and others were anxious, so he no longer cared about the two of them, and hurriedly said: "Back to the lord, his subordinates believe that not only should they hold the city, but also should shrink their forces, and only send heavy troops to defend the important cities in strategic locations, or send heavy troops to defend them on the main roads, and all the other castles will be temporarily abandoned, so as not to be broken by the Oda army with superior forces, so that the family will increase casualties."

And as long as the family can hold on to important places, then, even if the Oda army captures all the other castles, it will not be able to do anything in Minami Ise, as long as the family can hold out for a few months and wait for the weather to turn cold, then the Oda family will inevitably retreat.

At that time, not only will the southern Ise be protected, but the lord will also be able to launch an attack on the northern Ise with the Rokkaku family, and the land of the northern Ise will be equally divided with it, so that the unification of Ise will not be far away, and the lord will be asked to decide. ”

This is exactly what Kitabatake taught him, and what he wants most is to unify Ise, otherwise, there were so many retainers who persuaded him just now, and he couldn't give an order immediately, but now that he heard what Toriya Ao said, he finally had a plan, if he acted according to his method, it was just a few months late to go out to the army, so he didn't have to worry about the Oda family's tricks, so if he didn't wait a little longer, he could just take advantage of this time to send someone to Minami Omi to persuade the Rokkaku family to join the army.

Thinking of this, I only heard Kitabatake's mouth say, "I decided to adopt the Toriya Tail ......"...,

Before Kitabatake finished speaking, he heard the wooden Gu Zheng hurriedly speak: "The lord is slow, and his subordinates still don't agree to build." ”

"Oh? What else do you think? ”

"Back to the lord, my subordinates think that this is a good time to send troops to attack North Ise, if you don't send troops now, then the five counties of North Ise will really have nothing to do with your family. Please also think twice. ”

"What! Out of the army now? Kitabatake asked in surprise after hearing this.

He originally thought that the idea of Muzao Guzheng was similar to that of other retainers, so he gave an order without waiting for him to speak, but when he said it, it was actually the opposite of the opinion of other retainers, so he couldn't help but listen carefully.

I only heard the wooden furniture Masashi speak: "My lord, at present, the Oda family has just captured the land of the four counties of North Ise for less than a month, and the territory must not be stable, and Oda Nobunaga not only did not leave many troops there to appease, but at this time he came to attack the main family, which is a taboo for the soldiers, if it is a few months later, after the North Ise stabilizes, there is an Oda army to defend it, and the Oda family also has Owari, Mino million and ten places, tens of thousands of elites as the backing, even if the lord is a union and the Rokkaku family, it is difficult to take the North Ise."

Even if it is captured, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so how can it face the counterattack of the Oda family?

Besides, regardless of whether Hosono Fujimitsu has returned to the Oda family, what you are worried about is nothing more than the elite of the Oda family, but everyone has forgotten one thing, that is, although the family is mainly peasant soldiers, there are still 500 elite banners under the command of the lord, and 3,000 elites, especially the 500 troops, although the number is not large, but each has been guided by the lord, and its combat power is much stronger than the Oda family's useless ashigaru, if the two armies meet, it is not a ten.

In addition, although the combat power of the three thousand banners of the main family is not much higher than that of the Oda army, it is definitely not worse than the other party, and the thousands of peasant soldiers that can be mobilized by the main family, as well as the ashigaru under the command of the lords, the strength of the sect army can reach 20,000, even if some of them are left to defend the city, then they can gather an army of 15,000.

In this way, whether it is in terms of combat power or quantity, the family has an advantage, why can't it be a battle? Could it be that all of you are stupid because of the rumors of the Oda family?

As a samurai, we should move forward bravely, how can we retreat from the battle, if we do not go to the army this time, not only will we miss the opportunity, but our family will inevitably be ridiculed by the world. Lord, the matter of going out to the army should not be delayed for a long time, and please think twice. ”

After listening to these words, the original firm heart was shaken, if others persuaded him, he would not be like this, but in his heart, the status of Kizuku Guzheng surpassed that of everyone in the family, and this was entirely because the reason why he was able to become the governor of the Kitabatake family depended on his efforts, otherwise, with the character of his father Kitabatake Harugu, he would never let himself succeed to the position of the governor.

If it weren't for the wooden Guzheng who could speak well, and always praised himself in front of his father, then even if he was the eldest son in the family, it would be difficult to succeed him as the governor.

It is precisely because of this that since Kitabatake's successor as the family governor, he has more trust in the wooden furniture government.

If it was something else, even if the retainers were all against it, he would have followed the advice of Kizo Guzheng, but today's matter is too important, and this is already related to the survival of his family, no matter how much he trusts him, Kitabatake Gukyo will never dare to use his family name to make a bet.

And the retainers after listening to the words of the wooden housekeepers, they couldn't help but be angry and red-faced, the wood housekeepers actually slandered in front of the lord and the retainers, if these words came out, what face did he still have to live in the world, if it wasn't for the lord's favor, he would be killed on the spot.

Besides, who said that he was afraid of the Oda army and did not dare to fight, he just wanted to minimize the losses of his family, if this is the case, then it is better to fight to the death with the Oda family, with the prestige of the right, maybe after defeating the Oda army, the family can also take advantage of the situation to win the two countries of Ozaga and Mino, in this way, the strength of the family has increased greatly, and he will also follow the tide. …,

After what Kizoku Masa's words just now, many of the retainers in the middle of the table changed their decision, and now they are also on the side of Kizoku Masa, advocating that an army be sent to attack the Oda army.

Omiya entered the road and hesitated when he saw the lord again, and the retainers who originally supported the defense of the city and resisted the enemy had changed their minds, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

He couldn't help but think, could it be that the wooden furniture Masato also switched to the Oda family, so he persuaded the lord to go out to the army?

It shouldn't be, the lord has always been very fond of him, and all the people in his family know the way, and although he inherited the governor of the wooden family, but after all, he is the lord's own brother, how can he betray the lord?

In Omiya Irimichi's view, if the main family goes out to attack the Oda army, then there is only one result, and that is defeat, and if the main family fails, it will be difficult to gather more than 10,000 troops in a short period of time, so if this battle fails, then the Kitabatake family has only one end, that is, it will be wiped out by the imposing Oda army and erased from the land of Ise.

Therefore, he couldn't help but persuade him anymore, and only listened to Omiya Irichi and said: "My lord, my subordinates think that it is better to stick to it, my lord, please think about it, the Oda army only took ten days to annihilate the temple and seize the land of the four counties, how powerful is the combat power, but since it attacked Anzuno Castle, it has shown a weak state, doesn't the lord think it's strange?"

Besides, the battle report sent by Hosono Fujimitsu, between the lines, there was not a trace of anxiety, even if he persuaded the lord to send reinforcements quickly, his subordinates thought that in the face of more than ten times the enemy's attack, Hosono Fujiko would never be so calm.

Therefore, this time the family must not send reinforcements, otherwise it will be difficult to escape failure, and please think twice. ”

After listening to it, Kitabatake nodded uncertainly, and his eyes focused on the wooden body again, and Kitabatake wanted to hear what he had to say.
