Chapter Seventy-Five: Under Iino Castle

"Boy, you said it very well, in that case, do you dare to come forward and explain the mistake to the old man?" Kitago Shijiu pointed at Inoue with a katana and said imposingly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uemon, no, this guy is very powerful." Akashi Quanden looked at Inoue and said nervously, and even grabbed Inoue's right hand with one hand.

"In that case, I'll grant your request." Inoue Nobo looked at the middle-aged man opposite him, and agreed directly and seriously without thinking about it.

"Hey! Uemon, didn't you hear me speak? Akashi said anxiously.

"Oh! I can see that your martial arts are not very good, you are not afraid ......" Kitago Tokihisa pointed to his katana and said.

"Hokago-sama, you don't have to behave like this, in the next sentence, the adult is a samurai who thinks it is worthy of admiration, so I believe in the character of the adult." Inoue said firmly, and at the same time broke free from Akashi Junto's grip on him.

"I really didn't expect that before the old man died, he could still see a young talent with such courage as you, no wonder the Kuroda family is so powerful. Losing to the Kuroda family this time, whether it was the battle of the Hishida River or the battle that took place here, the old man had already seen the courage of the Kuroda family, and the old man felt that he was not wronged. After Kitago finished talking to Inoue for a long time, he looked at Akashi Quanto, "You're also a very good young man, it's a pity that I couldn't kill you, but you'll be a great samurai in the future!" So the kid must live well and become a samurai who moves the world, you know? ”

"Hokago-sama, I will." Akashi Quanden said dullly.

Under the mediation of Inoue Nobo, Kitago completed seppuku for a long time and ended his life that he was not well known, but before he finally passed away, he did show his perseverance as a samurai, and he was a figure worthy of the admiration of everyone in the Kuroda family.

After the fall of Iino Castle to the Kuroda family, Kitago Tokihisa, Shimazu Asahita and Shinna Tadanobu all showed their bravery at the same time, and their bravery was respected by everyone in the Kuroda family.

In this way, in the original history, after suppressing the Hyuga country, Iino Castle, which was supposed to be the fief of Shimazu Yoshihiro, fell into the hands of the Kuroda family, and Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was the owner of the city in the original history, had been going to Amaterasu for a long time.

But in this Warring States troubled era, no matter how capable a samurai you are, as long as you are at a disadvantage for a while, there is a possibility of being wiped out, even if you are a famous general in history, you can't avoid such a situation, starting from the rise of the Kuroda family, Akamatsu Masahide, Urakami Sokei, Mimura family, Ukita Naoya, Yoshikawa Motoharu, Yoshimi Masayori and others have fallen under the hands of the Kuroda family, and the situation of the Shimazu family is not unacceptable to be honest! After all, the current Shimazu family may not be as good as the Urakami Sokei back then, after all, people can make up an army of 10,000 people.

However, after the Kuroda family captured Iino Castle, the entire army stopped marching and stationed itself, and at the same time began to send small troops to various places to subdue the people and land, publicize the Kuroda family's policies, and restore the economic production of Minami-Hinata.

After all, it's already midsummer, and if you can stabilize the land you have acquired this time, you will definitely get a big surprise when the autumn harvest comes.

Not taking the initiative to provoke the Ito family is also a requirement of Kuroda's high vocational high school before going out of battle. It's not that the Kuroda family is afraid of the Ito family, with the strength of the Shimazu family, they can easily defeat the Ito family, let alone the strong Kuroda family!

What Kuroda Vocational High School is afraid of is the Otomo family behind the Ito family, and the Otomo family is currently at the peak of its strength in history, not only can there be countless generals, but also the number of soldiers has reached 40,000 or 50,000, which is not inferior to the Kuroda family at all. The most important thing is that because of the appearance of the Kuroda family, the Ogawa War did not happen, and it was a great war in which the Otomo family turned from prosperity to decline.

In the battle of Ogawa, the Otomo family dispatched 30,000 soldiers, and the famous samurai in the family were basically all dispatched, except for those like Tachibana Michiyuki who had to guard against the remaining defenders of Hizen Province.

And it was the Battle of Ogawa that the Shimazu family defeated the Otomo family through the tactics of Fishing Nobush, and was annihilated, thousands of people were captured, and the old minister of the family, Tian Beizhen Zhou, was killed. It was from then on that the Otomo family began to embark on the road of decline.

And now the Otomo family, at its peak, Kuroda Vocational High School's idea is to occupy Minami-Kyushu first, and after gaining a foothold in Minami-Kyushu, then attack the Otomo family from the north and south. After defeating the Otomo family, take all the land of Kyushu.

Because of Kuroda Vocational High School's strategic concept, after the Kuroda family defeated the Shimazu family and occupied Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, and Minami-Hyuga Province, they suspended their offensive and began to pacify the region.

Incidentally, after successfully defeating and eliminating the three Shimazu vassal forces including the Toyosu Shimazu family, Iate Tomotaka ostensibly successfully completed the task assigned to him by his father.

When he returned to the Ite Tomoshi clan, Imate Tomotaka described the entire battle process as his own contribution to the tactical application of the battle that took place in the Ryoda River, and all the roles of Inoue Nobo, Takimoto Temple and others could be filtered out.

He's lying, there's no doubt about it, in the entire Minami Hyuga strategy, it doesn't actually have much to do with him, and he doesn't have so much credit, all of which are the result of the lives of other soldiers of the Kuroda family.

And Imate Tomotaka himself is not a qualified leader, in the process of leading the army, the performance is not mature at all, and he is not willing to listen to the opinions of others, a reckless, self-righteous image is his portrayal.

This is because he is telling a lie, so there are actually many loopholes in his words. Imate Yushi is a tenacious person, so he can't hear any big problems in these words, and only feels that his eldest son is indeed still a talent, and he will be able to inherit his family business in the future.

However, Ite Tomoji couldn't hear it, but there were other people who could see the problem in these words, such as Shigeharu Takenaka next to him. Almost as soon as Imate Tomotaka opened his mouth, Shigeharu Takenaka had already discovered the problem in his words, and he could hear it, and it was obvious that Imate Tomotaka had taken all the credit on his own head.
