Yasugi Province, Yamashiro of Yoshida County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Mori Yuan looked intently at the map that was placed in the face, a map of the territory that the Mori family now owned. From Zhoufang and Nagato, to Boqi and Bizen, from the terrain of the castle to the coastal defense line, this is a new map made by the Shiki Masashi faction earlier in the Mori Yuan.

Ever since he abandoned Kyushu and Shikoku, Mori had been studying the map, and had sent his retainers to the key fortifications in front of him to arm and reorganize the city's defenses. He knew very well that once the Oda navy really landed from the rear and achieved results, then even if the Mori family's offensive in San'in and Sanyo achieved a great advantage, it would be just a dream after all.

I don't know how long it took before Mori Moto took his eyes off the map, "In this way, no matter how strong the Oda Navy is, it will not be so easy to threaten the rear of the family with this." Maori Yuan groaned. At this time, the defensive line he had laid out was almost complete, and like his two sons, Maori Yuan did not focus on the coastal fortress, but chose to be close to the coast, but the artillery could not reach the fortress.

In this way, although the Oda army could land calmly, if they wanted to attack any territory of the Maori army, they had to attack the castle in front of them first. At the same time, the surrounding Maori army will also rush to support immediately, completely blocking the Oda army on the coastline. In this way, without any supplies, how long can the Oda army last?

At this moment, the world ghost Zhengqing suddenly appeared in the room, "Lord! Big things are wrong! ”

"What's wrong?!" When Mao Liyuan heard this, his expression immediately became extremely solemn, because in his life, he had never seen the world ghost Zhengqing behave so panicked. In particular, not long ago, the Maori Navy was defeated by the Oda Navy, and of course, the news of Shiki Masaaki must be even worse, otherwise he would definitely not show such an expression.

"Takeda family...... Surrendered!! Shiki Masaaki shouted, at this moment, this ninja who had experienced countless tragic war situations in his life lost control of his emotions.

"What?!" Mao Liyuan stood up suddenly, and suddenly turned over the case in front of him, but he didn't notice it in the slightest, just stared at the world ghost Zhengqing and asked word by word, "What is ......it?" What's going on......"

Hearing this, Shiki Masaaki hurriedly reported the information he got to Mori Moto, "In addition, according to the information, Oda Nobunaga has gathered nearly 30,000 troops in Azuchi, and at the same time, Oda Yoshinobu's troops in Osaka have not been disbanded. ”

"How...... ...... like this," Mao Liyuan shook his head and whispered, his face full of disbelief. He had considered the Takeda family or the Uesugi family or even his own Yama** and Sanyo Dao legions being defeated. This was not unexpected. But the problem is that in his opinion, with the strength of the three of them, even if they are defeated, they should retreat to the city and help other forces continue to contain a large number of Oda family forces, rather than surrendering all at once.

"According to the intelligence, in the tripartite war, Takeda Ieyama Prefecture Masakei and many other important ministers were all killed, Takeda Shingen led a small number of retainers and more than 100 people from Qimoto to retreat to Suruga with a pure cavalry force, but on the way he met Oda Yoshinobu...... "Shiki Masaaki seems to have eased up at this time, and he keeps reporting.

"Hehe, can just one person make that tiger feel desperate?" Mao Liyuan laughed, but the laughter was so desolate.

"Now Kobayakawa-sama and Yoshikawa-sama have retreated from the garrison, and Kazuinaba...... respectively," Seki Masaaki said again.

"Well, got it, step down." Mao Liyuan nodded and said expressionlessly, but as soon as he finished speaking, under the frightened gaze of Shigui Zhengqing, Mao Liyuan slowly fell backwards.

"Lord!" Shigui Masaaki came to Maori Moto's side and supported him in a flash, and then shouted in horror, "Someone! Someone! The lord fainted! Call a doctor!! ”

After a long time, Mao Liyuan woke up slowly, and then saw Kouyu Tongliang and others looking at him with a worried face, "No need...... Lose sleep over something...... I still...... Can hold on......" Mao Liyuan opened his mouth to persuade, but it was just such a simple sentence, but Maori Yuan took a lot of effort to finish.

"Your Highness, with your current situation, it is better not to speak yet." A man in his 20s warned with an unkind face. And hearing such disrespectful words from this man, instead of scolding and being angry, Kouyu Tongliang and the others persuaded bitterly, "My lord, Doctor Sakabe is right, the most important thing for you is obviously to have a good rest. ”

This Sakabe physician is Yoshima Sakabe, a disciple of Qu Naase Michizo who stayed behind to take care of Mori Motosho, but after a year of hard work, he won the respect of many retainers of the Mori family with his superb medical skills. After all, in this day and age, no one can offend a doctor. Belch...... Well, it seems that this phrase can be used in any era.

"I see...... But there is one more thing, Tongliang, inform Yuan Chun and Longjing that they must not rush back because of my illness, the front line is the most important! Mao Liyuan said weakly, "In addition, Huiyuan, the matter of arming will be handed over to you, if you have any doubts, you can ask Tongliang them." ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded with solemn faces.

Afterwards, Mao Liyuan obediently drank the medicinal soup, and soon after, he fell asleep.

Quietly exiting the room, Mori Terumoto couldn't help but pull Sakabe Yoshima, "Doctor Sakabe, grandfather's condition ......"

Hearing this, Sakabe Yoshima shook his head, "His Royal Highness Maori, His Highness's condition is really powerless, I'm afraid...... I can't survive this summer......" After speaking, Sakabe Yoshima sighed helplessly and left.

"How...... Maybe ......" Hearing this, Maori Terugen sat down on the ground, his eyes staring up blankly, and he kept muttering to himself.

The news that Mori Motoharu had fainted again soon reached the ears of Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei, "Damn! How can it be like this?! The two of them muttered angrily to themselves, eager to immediately withdraw and return to Yoshida Koriyama to visit their father.

It's just that they can't, because they know that at this time, they must guard here, on the one hand, to guard against the Oda army, and on the other hand, to guard against Yamana and Ukita.

Yes, even now, Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei don't really believe in these two subjugated forces, especially the Ukita Naoya, in the face of this man who has been recognized by his father, Kobayakawa Takakei is completely distrustful. After all, he knew all too well how his father had grown the Maori family to this extent.
