Chapter 585: Chestnut in the Fire

The clan directly turned the Takayama family tree to the last page, and sure enough, the eldest son Dewakamaru was born in 1543 and died in 1550, and he looked at the fourth name, that is, the person who claimed to be the head of the Miki clan, was born in 1552, so he really hadn't seen it with himself, and the ink on his own line of words was older, seeing this, the clan secretly rejoiced, fortunately, this genealogy came into his own hands, otherwise if it was used by someone with a heart, maybe he would be ruined, In this era of focusing on birth, if there is a problem with identity, it is more problematic than notoriety.

However, if the head of the Miki clan is really a member of the Takayama family, there will be a day when they meet, and they will have to make up a reason, but this is a piece of cake for the clan.

After carrying the genealogy and the letter in his arms, he only heard the clan say to Nakajima Katsujiro, who came to deliver the letter: "Okay, go back and tell the clan chief, and I will say that I know the Tao." ”

Katsujiro Nakajima thought that the main hall would tell him the plan, and then bring it to the lord to know, but who knew that it would be over if he only said that he knew it?

Whether the hall will send reinforcements or not, how many reinforcements will be sent, and if you don't ask anything, how can you go back like the main bus?

Thinking of this, he mustered up his courage and asked stubbornly, "Great Hall, I don't know how many reinforcements to send?" ”

The clan sect couldn't help frowning, and said, "This is what the clan chief asked you to ask?" ”

"Back to the main hall, this... It's not that the lord asks his subordinates to ask, but... But I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make a difference when I went back, so I asked the Great Hall to show me. ”

"Just take back what I just said, I believe my brother should be a smart man. He should know what I mean, go. ”

After Nakajima Katsujiro left, the clan immediately ordered someone to invite Sanada Masayuki and Honda Masanobu to come as military advisors, with this road to Hida, the fast horse only needed two hours from Gujo Hachiman Castle to Sakurato Castle, which made the clan also make up his mind again, once all Hida was in hand. Then the road will be repaired in the country, although the cost will be astronomical, but once the road is repaired. Then Hida will also take off his hat from now on, which is not only of great benefit to governing the territory, but also much more convenient even if it is a war.

More than four hours later. The two military divisions had already arrived at Sakura Cave Castle.

"Someone sent a letter just now, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while, so I bothered the two military advisors to come to discuss this matter, don't be surprised by the two military advisors." As soon as the two arrived, they didn't even have time to catch their breath when they were called into the living room by the clan.

"The subordinates don't dare, I don't know what the lord is doing to meet his subordinates late at night?" I only heard Honda Masanobu hurriedly said, although he and Sanada Masayuki didn't know the reason for the road, but judging from the lord's previous style of acting, this matter must not be small, and the lord's wisdom and strategy are unparalleled in the world. It's rare to find it difficult for him to make a decision.

The clan did not speak, but took out the letter written to him by the head of the Miki clan from his bosom and gave it to the two to see, but the genealogy was not taken out, although the letter also mentioned his own background. He had doubts about himself, but he knew that Michido Honda Masanobu and Sanada Masayuki were both smart people, and they would never ask.

Sure enough, as the clan thought of, although the two of them watched it seriously, they didn't pay much attention to the clan sect's life experience at all, and the lord was already standing here. Is it still fake? Besides, even if there is a problem with the lord's background, but now that the lord has opened up his own world, there is no problem if there is a problem, so both of them selectively forget about it.

When the letter returned to the clan's hands, he only heard Sanada Masayuki ask: "My lord, my subordinates have no flaws in this letter, if the genealogy is true, the content of this letter is eighty percent true." ”…,

When he finished speaking, he saw that Honda Masanobu also nodded, and even the clan could think that it was possible that Ji Xiaolu Lai Gang had already obtained the genealogy, how could the two of them not think of it.

When Sanada Masayuki finished speaking, he only heard the clan say: "I have the same view as the two military advisors, but whether to go out of the army is a difficult question, if you don't go out of the army, you may lose the great opportunity to win Ji Xiaolu's home city, after all, the army under the command of the head of the Miki clan is too small, and although there are hundreds of Nuggets, they are not ashigaru after all, and if the attack is not incidental, it is very easy to collapse."

But if the army is rescued, but if this is a trap set by the enemy, then it is not so easy to retreat in front of the Uesugi army, and if the other party arranges it properly, it is not difficult to annihilate all the reinforcements, so I invited the two military divisions to come to discuss, I wonder what the two military divisions think about this? ”

The two of them didn't answer immediately, but thought carefully, and the clan didn't rush them, after all, even they were hesitating.

After a while, I only heard Sanada Masayuki speak first: "The lord's subordinates think it is better to wait and see what it becomes, the current military strength of the family is less than three thousand, even if the city is captured, but if the army is less, even if there is no ambush, but when the enemy returns to the army, it will be difficult to hold the city, and if there are more troops, this Sakura Cave City will be lost, this city will be lost, then the enemy can attack the land of the family within half a day, the territory of the family is currently only two hundred and a hundred ninjas, how to block the enemy's attack, So even if you take Matsukura Castle, it doesn't make any sense, this is the foolish opinion of your subordinates, and you still ask the lord to decide. ”

After listening to this, the clan nodded, although the suggestion made by Sanada Masayuki seems to be a bit conservative, but it is the most stable way at present, but the clan does not want to do this, what is the reason for leading the army to Hida, is to attack and attack, if you want to defend, then there is no need for you to come.

So he didn't refuse or agree, but looked at Honda Masanobu and asked, "Masanobu, what do you think?" ”

"My lord's subordinates think that there seems to be something wrong with our army's offensive methods......" Honda Masanobu did not directly express his opinion on this matter, but said thoughtlessly.

"Oh? What do you think is the problem? I only heard the clan ask with interest.

"The lord's subordinates believe that the army's current strength is less than the enemy's army, and it is necessary to preserve the strength to face Takeda, if the main thing is to conquer the city, then a lot of troops must be divided to garrison the city, so that the army used by the family to attack will be less and less, and the current advantage of the family is that the army is gathered, and there is no city as a mixture, so the subordinates think that it should be mainly with the annihilation of the enemy's army, supplemented by the capture of the city, or even not to capture, as long as a large number of enemy troops can be destroyed, then the city can be obtained at any time, I don't know what the lord thinks?"

Clan's eyes lit up after hearing this, isn't this the essence of sports warfare, annihilating the enemy in the movement, and then the enemy will be killed, and the city is not his own.

"That's a good point, but what should we do now?"

"The lord's subordinates believe that if there is an ambush, the lord will also ambush the area around Matsukura Castle or on the road leading to this castle, and whether it is really an attack or a trap, there will definitely not be much left of the Uesugi army in Kojima Castle."

"Does Honda-sama mean to abandon Sakurato Castle and attack the Uesugi army in Kojima Castle?" I only heard Sanada Masayuki ask.

I saw that Honda Masanobu nodded and said: "That's exactly what it means, the letter says that the Uesugi army left a thousand to defend in this city, and the strength of the family is nearly three thousand, and it is unprepared, so it is still very certain to annihilate these troops, so it can greatly reduce the strength of the Uesugi family sent to the Hida army." ”…,

I only heard Sanada Masayuki ask again: "But have you ever thought about how to deal with the enemy if the enemy directly leads the army to attack Gujo Hachiman Castle after capturing Sakurato Castle?" ”

"It's a possibility, but in my opinion, it's definitely not going to happen."

"Why?" I only heard the clan also asked curiously.

"Lord, although Uesugi Kenshin is righteous, but according to his subordinates, this Murakami Yoshikiyo is a person who can't afford to make a profit, and his family's territory is not bordering Uesugi, even if he goes to attack, the most profitable person is the Ji Xiaolu family, and he has nothing to do with it, so if you change someone else's subordinates, you can't be sure, but if it's him, then you can rest assured, and according to the subordinates, the Uesugi family's current military strength is not sufficient, if so even if Murakami Yoshikiyo wants to attack Gujo Hachiman Castle, Uesugi Kenshin will definitely not agree to him doing this, because the Uesugi family was not ready for an all-out war with the Oda family.

Therefore, the lord does not have to worry about the rear problem at present, and this problem will not be too late to think about when Uesugi is solved and faces Takeda. ”

The clan heard what he said about the Tao, and obviously he had put in a lot of effort, but the clan still felt that it was not very safe, after all, the human heart is the most difficult thing to guess, who can guarantee that he will not get up for a while, the county Hachiman Castle is lost, the clan is not afraid, it is a big deal to take it back, but his family members are all in this city, and he must not joke with their lives.

Just when the clan was about to refuse, he saw Hikoemon walk in and report: "Report to the lord, the head of the Uchijima family, the Uchijima clan is asking to see you outside the door." ”

When the clan heard that he was coming, his eyes couldn't help but light up, by the way, how did he forget him, and if Ji Xiaolu's family had a trap, he would know if he had a trap.

"Quick, please Onijima-sama."

After a while, I saw the Nenajima clan walk in, because his father had died, so he also inherited the position of the governor of the family as a matter of course, which can be seen from the clothes on his body, when he first saw him, he was wearing a very shabby dress, and now the clothes on his body, although the clan can see at a glance that it is not a precious silk, but no matter how it is said that silk is not.

Seeing the clan, a smile appeared on the face of the Unejima clan, he had been waiting for this day for a long time. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
