Seeing that he seemed to be very embarrassed, the clan couldn't help but ask: "Clan chief, you and I are brothers, and if you have something to say, you can't help but say it."

After listening to the patriarch's explanation, the clan finally knew why more than a month had passed, and he didn't even know what his younger siblings were called.

I only heard the clan sect speak: "Clan Chief, although she is the daughter of Ji Xiaolu Lai Gang, she is also your wife, the battlefield is a matter between men, and what does it matter to her, as a man, if there is resentment, you have to sprinkle it on the enemy, what is the ability to use a woman to be angry, okay, let Zhizi out, but she is pregnant now, and it is not suitable to go out, so you can go alone." ”

After hearing this, the clan chief couldn't help but feel very ashamed, and hurriedly said: "What the elder brother said is right, it is the clan chief who is wrong." ”

"Don't say more, you and I will leave immediately."

Although most of this Hida country has been taken by the clan, the control time is still short, so he doesn't dare to go only on behalf of his family, so in addition to Ishikawa Goemon leading thirty ninjas to secretly protect, the flag samurai team led by Maeda Keiji is also indispensable, Matsukura Castle is not close to Takayama Castle, because the road between the two cities is not difficult to walk, so a day later, the Takayama clan clan and his wife and children and the Takayama clan chief came to the corner of Tenjin Mountain.

And the high mountain city is located on this mountain peak at an altitude of more than 600 meters, before coming, the clan thought that the scale of this city might not be too large, after all, except for now, when the previous high mountain family was the most powerful, the place controlled was only a mere 4,000 stones.

But when he came to the foot of the mountain, he was completely shocked by the castle, and in front of him was a Hirayama Castle that was even more majestic than Matsukura Castle.

In terms of size, it is more than twice as large as Matsukura Castle, and it can be said that the entire mountain peak is a part of this mountain castle, and this castle is not only large, but even the castle tower that stands on the top of the mountain is extremely majestic, and Matsukura Castle can use a connected castle tower, which has already surprised the clan, but if it is compared to the castle tower of this high mountain castle in front of him, then it is nothing at all.

The castle tower on the top of the mountain in front of you covers an extremely large area. Spread to the top of the mountain, there is only one building, the castle tower, and there is no place to build even the castle wall and other defensive facilities, although there are no castle walls and other defensive facilities. But there is no need to worry about the defense of the castle tower.

I saw that on the top of the mountain, a large and five small castle towers, a total of six castle towers surrounded the city, built on the stone wall more than ten meters high, forming a whole, each castle tower on the arrow narrow window, gun narrow window, the mouth of the moat, especially the five small castle towers with only two floors. There are dozens of arrow narrow windows, gun narrow windows, and trenches on each top.

The stone walls that connect the castle towers are also dissatisfied with the arrow narrow windows and gun narrow windows, which are said to be corridors, but there is not much difference from the castle walls at all.

With such fortifications, the walls are of no use at all. The largest castle tower, although it has only two floors, has a separate lookout on it, so that it can be done. You won't be blocked by the other six small castle towers.

The castle tower alone can accommodate at least a few hundred soldiers, and it doesn't feel crowded.

And looking down, the top of the mountain is completely occupied by the castle tower. Therefore, the samurai mansions could only be built on the mountainside, and because the training ground was too large, and there was no such large place on the hill to build this building, it could only be built under the corner of the mountain, and in addition to the main building, from the top of the hill to the corner of the mountain, at least twenty watchtowers were divided into the city.

The only thing that is lacking more than Matsukura Castle is that there is no castle town.

Seeing this majestic city, the clan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his cheap father was really good. There is such a city to defend under his rule, but he couldn't stop the attack of Ji Xiaolu's family, if he changed himself, I'm afraid that even if the enemy has three or four times the strength of the army or even more, he can completely block it out of the city, and now this city is his own. Then there is absolutely no possibility of losing it again. …,

Thinking of this, the clan couldn't help but move in his heart, this mountain city is at the forefront, why don't he use this city to resist the attack of the Takeda family, not to mention that the army sent by Takeda Shingen to Hida is less than 10,000, even if it reaches 20,000, it can be blocked by virtue of this city, although the territory will become empty when all the generals are transferred, but the clan believes that the Takeda army will never dare to bypass this city and directly attack the land of his own family, if he really dares to do this, then Lao Tzu will not mind cutting off his way back.

The Takayama clan had lived in the castle for several years, but when he stood outside the castle, he couldn't help but be moved by the majestic city.

When he saw the elder brother beside him behaving in the same way, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "My father said back then, if Takayama Castle was not rebuilt on the basis of the original castle, I am afraid that even the training ground would not be able to be repaired, let alone the majestic castle tower. ”

After hearing this, the clan knew that this city had existed since ancient times, and the Gaoshan family was just cultivating on the basis of the original, if this was the case, then it would be understandable, otherwise he really doubted that the ancestors of the Gaoshan family were stronger than himself.

"Okay, don't sigh, I'll go into the city later." Seeing the arrival of the lord, Wasuka Masakatsu, who was guarding the castle, did not dare to slack off and immediately led the ninjas under his command to greet him, and took the lord and his family straight to the castle tower.

Just when the Takayama clan rebuilt the spirit card, the clan had already come to the lookout, Takayama Castle is located on the Tenjin Mountain belongs to a part of the Hida Highlands, the south is a heavy mountain, but the north is no longer a mountain, but a basin surrounded by mountain peaks, the Miyagawa River that runs straight to the north and south flows through the basin, straight to Echichu, if you go straight downstream, I am afraid that in less than a day, you can reach the northernmost point of Echichu.

Looking at the calm water, such a large river was not used, and the clan felt very sorry, if it was attacked from the waterway, then it would definitely catch the people of Yuezhong off guard.

To the west, the source of the Hida River is located, which leads west to the Kiso River, and if you take the waterway, you can get from Takayama Castle to Gifu Castle much faster than from Sakurato Castle.

Looking to the east, it is the territory of the Ma family, and because there are mountains blocking it, the sight is very limited.

When looking at the surrounding terrain, the clan finally knew why Ji Xiaolu Yoritsuna couldn't get along with the Takayama family, this is not only the middle of the entire Hida country, but also one of the few grain-producing places in the Hida country, like this place, how can Ji Xiaolu Yorizuna not be tempted, and if it is for the clan, there is the most important point, that is, convenient transportation, although in other countries, this is nothing, but in Hida, convenient transportation is more important than anything else, Therefore, the clan has decided to transfer the main castle from Gujo Hachiman Castle to this place.

As long as the army is seated here, it will only take one to two days to reach Hida on all sides, which will undoubtedly have self-evident benefits for the safety of the territory.

Just as the clan clan was thinking about transferring the residence city to this mountain city, he saw the head of the Gao Mountain clan come to the clan with red eyes, salute and say, "Brother, everything is ready." ”

As the clan chief came to a quiet room, his three wives and Matsurumuru were already waiting inside, and there were several spirit tablets neatly placed in the front of the quiet room, and the largest one in the middle was engraved with the name of the mountain outside the mountain.

It's not that he has much affection for Gao Shan Gaiji, it's entirely because he doesn't know what to say, if the head of the Gao Shan clan is not there, he doesn't have to be afraid, the three ladies don't know anything about the road, and they don't say what they want, but now that the head of the Gao Shan clan is present, he can't talk nonsense, just cry instead, so not only do you not have to speak, but also show your sadness. …,

Sure enough, after the elder of the Takayama clan saw that his brother was crying and couldn't speak, he didn't think much about it at all, and he was also moved by his brother's performance, so he also cried, and while crying, he didn't forget to say a few words, saying to his father who had passed away, telling him how powerful the current Takayama family was, not only to eliminate the Ji Xiaolu family, but also to take over the entire Hida, the more the Takayama clan chief said, the more excited he became, if it wasn't for the persuasion of the clan, I'm afraid he would have to cry here for a day.

"Chief, I believe that my father doesn't want to see us crying, so let's let him sleep quietly."

After hearing this, the head of the Takayama clan couldn't help touching his tears and said in tears: "What my brother said is that my father must want to see our strong side. However, the clan chief has a lot to say to his father, so please ask my brother for permission to let the clan chief keep a wake for his father today. ”

Since he wanted to stay, not only could the clan not object, but as the eldest son, how could he not stay. So I had to stay.

Seeing the head of the Gao Shan clan chattering and talking to the spirit card, although he felt a little irritable, this made him understand a lot of things about the Gao Shan family.

What he didn't expect was that this inconspicuous Takayama family turned out to be of the same origin as the Gen Yoshitsune, born in the Hanoi Genji, and the family line was one of the Qing and Genji clans, although it didn't seem to be of much use now, the most important thing he needed to do at the moment was to continue to expand his strength.

It's okay, once you get the world, if you want to open, then the identity of the descendants of Genji is too important, with it, then the establishment of the Takayama shogunate will be a matter of course, if you don't have it, then it will be even more difficult to open yourself.

Before, the status of the Gaoshan clan was low and the territory was small, so these problems could not be considered, but as his status continued to improve and his territory continued to expand, he could not help but think more about it in the future. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
