It's not that Kuroda Kanbei can't wait, even if he can't wait, there are still descendants who are counted, but the problem is that he believes that this world will be unified in less than ten years, and when the swords and guns are put into storage, and the horses are put in Nanshan, where will they go to earn meritorious service? Therefore, it is certain to take refuge in the Takayama family, but it is by no means now, what I have to do now is to first borrow the power of the Kinoshita family to earn the capital to settle down, and then take the family business to invest in Takayama, which is the best way for the Kuroda family to never decline.

With this intention in mind, Kuroda Kanbei suddenly felt much more relaxed, because he would soon be able to take action on this idea. According to his own analysis, the Gao Shan family is currently reluctant to fight with the own family, although the comprehensive strength of the Gao Shan family is slightly stronger, but if they really want to destroy Kinoshita, it will definitely hurt their muscles and bones, and the mess after dominating the world is not so easy to clean up. Secondly, Mutsu is determined, although Mutsu is a bitter cold place, the strength is not very strong, but the Takayama clan can't help but guard against these small fish and shrimp stabbing in the back, once the decisive battle with the family, then Takayama must go all out, there are these guys behind it, it really can't be reassuring. So as expected, the next strategy of the Takayama family should be Mutsu, and only when the rear is completely stabilized is the best time to fight the main family. And that gives you plenty of time.

And what about the Kuroda family's goal? It's obviously Kyushu.,At present, the situation of the Kinoshita family and the Takayama family is similar.,There are Mutsu forces behind the Takayama family.,At present, there is still Otomo behind the family.,In addition, there is also the side of the Nagamune family, which relies on the rise of the Takayama family.,The power that has unified the four countries.,Especially in recent years.,The Nagamune family relies on the Takayama family's continuous low prices.,Even free delivery of materials.,Has completely gotten out of the predicament.,The power must not be underestimated.。

Compared with Shikoku, Kyushu is much more chaotic, of course, if you start it yourself, maybe Kyushu will be swallowed up by the Otomo family, and it will be a little difficult to start again. And he can rely on this to say that the lord sent himself to Kyushu, after all, if Kyushu can't be pacified, then the Kinoshita family can't fight against the Takayama family with all their might. So the lord can't disagree, because the Kinoshita family can't afford to lose.

。。。

A few days later, Kuroda Kanbei came to see again, because Takigawa Kazuki acted quickly after receiving the order, and had already opened up the situation in Ise, so Hideyoshi's mood today is still good, after all, Ise is also a big country with nearly 600,000 stone high, especially Nobuo, after Nobutaka became the master, he borrowed the resources of the Oda family to develop, so it can be said that the current Ise is no longer a country of chaos, but has become a real land of wealth.

Once this country can be taken, then the strength of the Kinoshita family will definitely be greatly improved, although this country is going to be exchanged for the Takigawa family, but from another point of view, there is Takigawa in Ise, and he can rest assured, after all, this country borders the Takayama family, and Takigawa has a feud with Takayama, he said that he will not switch to Takayama, and it is also considered to be experienced in a hundred battles, with him stationed at the border, it is really reassuring.

Don't look at Kinoshita Hideyoshi is not very good at grand strategy, but if you want to be smarter, I'm afraid the clan is not its opponent.

"Subordinate Kuroda officers and guards, see the lord."

"Kanshou, you're just in time, I'm about to send someone to look for you, do you know the current situation in Ise?"

Looking at the lord's smug expression, although the officer and guard did not pay attention to this battle that must be won, but also guessed that it should be the Ise strategy that is going well, of course, the lord asked, he must want to continue, if he said that he knew or could guess eight or nine not far from ten, then the lord was afraid that he would be depressed, so I just heard him reply: "This... My subordinates have been paying attention to the situation in Kyushu recently, and I don't know much about Ise, so I ask for your understanding. ”

Sure enough, after Kuroda Kanbei answered, Kinoshita Hideyoshi seemed even more excited, and only heard him say: "Since you don't know, then I'll tell you, just yesterday, Hikoemon has sent someone to deliver the news, how did the news come about... With that, Kinoshita Hideyoshi said to the attendants beside him, "Go, bring the letter from Hikoemon and read it to Kanbei." ”

Under the orders of the lord, the attendants did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the letter, and came over to read: "... The lord, yesterday, his subordinates led the army to wipe out the Nobuo tribe and is currently besieging Kobe Castle. On that day, his subordinates received news that Nobuo and his 2,300 troops were besieging Kobe Castle, and the lord of the city, Nobutaka Kobe (Oda Nobutaka), was closed without a fight, and after receiving the news, his subordinates thought that the best way to capture Ise in a short time was to destroy Nobuo and Nobutaka first, so that Ise would be able to defeat himself without a leader. So on the same day, his subordinates led the army to Kobe Castle, and when Nobuo's army was sleepy and tired, he suddenly killed, and after a moment of resistance, Nobuo's army began to rout, and Kitabatake Nobuo was shot by a stray arrow when he fled with the rout, and died. After solving Nobuo, his subordinates divided a part of his army to attack Nobuo's territory, and continued to besiege Kobe City, and as far as his subordinates knew, because the city had been besieged for several months, the grain and grass in the city had been exhausted, and Kobe City would be available in a few days, but I don't know how the lord wanted to deal with Kobe Nobutaka, and his subordinates did not dare to make their own claims, so they asked the lord to make it clear. ”

I have to say that Takigawa Yiyi writes a letter very well, or the ghostwriter is very level, if you look at the beautiful language and other aspects, the content of this letter is not bullshit, but if the person who reads the letter is Kinoshita Hideyoshi, it is too clever, although the content of this letter is not much, but the writing is indeed very lively, and it just so happens that the lord likes to join in the fun, which has not changed because of the promotion of status. It is precisely this point that Takigawa Kazuki grasped to write the letter so bluntly and so lively, if his credit for capturing Ise is ten points, then with this letter, his credit can be increased by two points. The most important thing is that he really got the bet right.

After listening to the recitation, although Kuroda Kanbei expressed great disdain in his heart, he did not show it on his face, but still had a surprised expression on his face.

And Kinoshita Hideyoshi, after taking the letter, the thin letter paper slowly shook in front of the eyes of the guard, and said proudly: "How about it, when I said that I was seizing Ise, it seems that it was correct, why bring the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Nobuo and Nobutaka to match the Son of Heaven?" As for these two straw bales, instead of picking them up and making themselves unhappy, it is better to directly take their territory for the benefit. Now it seems that my strategy is correct. ”

was lukewarmly sarcastic by the lord, and Kuroda Kanbei didn't care at all. What does it have to do with him whether he takes Ise or not, he only cares about Kyushu now. So after patting the lord with a few sycophants, he led the topic to Kyushu.
