Chapter 144: Immovable Mountain City

"The adults don't seem to have much thought about this opinion, so I'll boldly say what the lord means. The meaning of the lord is actually quite simple, first gather all the men and horses in the territory, and fight a large-scale war with the Kuroda family. ”

"No, you can't!"

"I can't help it!" Yasuda Nomoto and Ganya Keizori, as soon as the two saw that they were going to start a war with the Kuroda family, they immediately stood up from their positions and loudly tried to stop them.

"Two adults, please don't worry, let the general finish his words first, and then it's not too late for you to express your opinions and ideas."

After the two men sat down, Naoe continued. "We will first gather all the most elite men and horses under our command, and then have a field battle with the Kuroda family, and the situation of the field battle will determine the position against the Kuroda family in the future.

If you can defeat the Kuroda family, it means that the Kuroda family is indeed not impossible to expect, and the family does have the strength to confront the Kuroda family, in this case the family will remain independent and continue to fight against the Kuroda family.

And in addition, the family must continue to expand their territory, strengthen their own strength, and maintain peace with the Takeda family, so as to resist the attack of the Kuroda family together. ”

"That's how it should be!" Nakajo Keishi and Minister Seki said proudly.

"But Lord Lord-sama still has ideas, if we can't defeat the Kuroda family this time, even if it's just a draw with the Kuroda family, it means that the family is not the opponent of the Kuroda family, after all, we are only facing a legion of the Kuroda family.

Then the family should be subjugated to the Kuroda family, and there will inevitably be many big battles to be fought after the Kuroda family, and the family can apply to be the striker of the Kuroda family, so that through the merits obtained along the way, the family can also regain the forty percent of the land that was confiscated before, and may even get more. ”

"I see!" Yasuda Nomoto and Kaganya Keikatsu instantly understood what Uesugi Keikatsu meant, and the two of them smiled and nodded.

At this time, Nakajo Keizi and Se Changshi were all thinking about defeating the Kuroda family, so they didn't think too much about such words, after all, fighting with the Kuroda family, regardless of the final success or failure, was definitely going to be a fight, and they were still very confident in themselves.

To be honest, everyone's previous performance is not to say how loyal they are to the Uesugi family, or whether they are disloyal, or that they have other ideas, in fact, all the performances they have made are based on their own interests.

Even Naoe Kanesuke made such a decision for Uesugi Keikatsu, in fact, he had his own ideas, Naoe Kanesu, Yasuda Nomoto, and Kanya Keiji, they also belonged to the Ueda people, and their land was closer to the border between Echigo and Vietnam, so for them, the oppression of the Kuroda family was more obvious, and they hoped to be able to submit to the Kuroda family, so that at least they could protect their family.

And as Naoe Kanesu said just now, compared to being wiped out by the Kuroda family, although it will lose forty percent of the existing land, but after that, there is still a lot of land in the whole world that has not been captured by the Kuroda family, it will be a protracted war, if this is the case, the Uesugi family can definitely get a piece of the pie in the battle, after all, such a big force as the Uesugi family, it is impossible for the Kuroda family to do without him, as long as he uses the strength of the Uesugi family, he can definitely get the corresponding merits, And in the end, it is likely that they will get more than the forty percent of the land that was confiscated.

As for the Yangbei people, represented by Nakajo Keishi and Seki Minoru, their land is close to Dewa Province, so even if they can feel the pressure of the Kuroda family, they are definitely not as urgent as the Ueda people come.

That's why they supported the Uesugi family and the Kuroda family in a fight, and anyway, before the Kuroda family reached the land they owned, they also had more time to think about how to keep their family interests.

Moreover, in the current situation, they were able to fight with the Kuroda family, which already showed their courage, and the Yangbei people under the command of the Uesugi family were originally very powerful people, and in this case, the Kuroda family would also adopt them, provided that they were willing to submit to the Kuroda family.

Therefore, the territory of the Uesugi family immediately began to move all the people, including a prefecture in the Uesugi family's newly acquired Dewa country, and all the mobilization was also carried out, and in this way, an army of 13,000 people was gathered to prepare for a decisive battle with the Kuroda family.

If the Kuroda family wants to attack the Kasuga Yama Castle of the Uesugi family at this time, they can go all the way along the northernmost coastal road, and only need to capture the Castle of Falling Water, Fudoyama Castle, and Itoigawa Castle, and then they can directly attack the Kasuga Yama Castle in the south.

First of all, this road is very easy to walk, because the coastal area is all plains, and the three cities are very close to each other, if the army of the Muri family moves quickly and violently, it is even possible to capture all three cities in half a day, after all, the Kuroda family now has an absolute numerical advantage.

And this time Uesugi Keikatsu chose to set up a formation outside the city of Fudoyama Castle, because the terrain here is more open, which is conducive to the battle of the army, not only their Uesugi family used tens of thousands of horses this time, but also the Kuroda family facing opposite has 18,000 people, if it is chosen in a small battlefield, this is not conducive to the development of the war, Uesugi Keikatsu is a traditional samurai who attaches importance to righteousness.

This time, Uesugi Keikatsu directly asked Naoe Kanesuke as the military commissioner of this battle, and commanded the battle ahead, and when the people of Yangbei saw Naoe's arrangement, they even wanted to take a knife and kill people.

Nakajo Keizi and Minister Seshi, who previously represented the interests of the Yangbei people, went directly to the Chinese army to find Uesugi Keikatsu and asked him why he had arranged all the Yangbei people in the highest position.

You must know that this time you are not facing other forces, it is the famous Kuroda family! Even if it's a legion of the Kuroda family, it's not easy to deal with.

They also knew that there was great danger in fighting the Kuroda family, and they shouted loudly that they were not afraid of the Kuroda family and didn't care about Kuroda vocational high school, but when they really encountered the battle with the Kuroda family, they didn't want to put themselves in the forefront.

When Uesugi Keikatsu talked about this arrangement before, he said that this battle was just a test of the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family's army, not a decisive battle, and he was only facing a legion of Musato Takayu under the Kuroda family!
