"Presumptuous!" Sanada Masayuki was furious all of a sudden, these words of the youngest son were very likely to ruin the current good situation, he didn't want to bring him here, but he couldn't say who the representatives of the Oda family would pick as a hostage. "Your Royal Highness Yuzhou, don't be surprised, this kid has been doing things and talking since he was a child, and he has made some fox friends and dog friends. I will definitely control him strictly when I go back......"

"His Royal Highness Sanada, please let him finish his words!" I'm really interested, it seems that even he hasn't fully recognized his value, and now he must be regretting why he didn't have a good caliber before he came. However, Sanada Nobuyuki did not express the slightest dissatisfaction with his brother's accusations, but looked at him with satisfaction. "There is not only one road from to Kanto, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same opinion. I'm curious to know your strategy, but can you tell me why you have this view of Nobuyuki's strategy? ”

"The reason is simple: if you are in such an advantage, do you still need to fight?" Genjiro didn't see his father's frequent glances, or he deliberately didn't look. “…… Gathering 150,000 troops and fighting for a long time may have already won the whole world, and with a corner of the enemy in the world, it is naturally invincible. I haven't thought about the 'people of the world', as a general, I want to defeat the strong with the weak, at least to match the victory! ”

"You mean I understand a little, it turns out that I want to use strange soldiers!" I nodded slightly, but didn't say anything in agreement. "But don't forget, Uesugi Kenshin is also a good use of strange soldiers. In the face of the Hojo family's barrel-like Kanto defense system and Odawara Castle, are you sure of winning? Since you are so sure, how many people are needed! ”

"Twenty-five thousand! If not...... 20,000 is also okay! He really lowered his head and counted on his fingers, and then said to me pretendingly.

"Twenty thousand?" I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, wondering if this was the person I remembered. Although 20,000 horses was definitely not a small number in the Warring States Period, most of the neighbors of the Hojo family had such strength, and if only 20,000 horses could pacify the eight states of Kanto, what kind of situation would it be now!

"Yes! That's 20,000! Genjiro ignored my surprise, and actually nodded to confirm the "nonsense" in front of him. “…… In fact, if you win just one victory, you don't need so many people. It's just that if you don't have this number, then the results you get will be lost in the next Hojo family's counterattack, and that will just cheapen others! ”

"Then tell me, what can you do with these 20,000 horses?" I asked my eyes but looked at Sanada Masayuki, and beads of sweat were already on his head, and it didn't seem to be planned in advance.

"Then can His Royal Highness Yushu know how the Hojo family started?" Genzaburo was not disturbed by my questioning, but asked me a question.

"It seems that it was Hojo Sakumo who borrowed a hundred soldiers from the Imagawa family at the earliest, and took Odawara Castle by trickery, and it took several generations to have the strength of today's 'Hashu Taishou', right?" I don't know what he meant by asking, so I said it very simply.

"What His Royal Highness Yuzhou said is good, but it's not that simple!" Genjiro nodded, showing maturity far beyond his age. "Hojo Sakumo is truly a masterpiece of his generation, not only brilliant but also very strategic, and the capture of Odawara Castle and its subsequent expansion provided a solid foundation for the development of the Hojo family. However, before the Hojo clan, the Hojo family had been in a constant bitter war, and Imagawa in the west had turned against him; The Satomi clan to the south fought hard; The north side is still facing strong pressure from the two Uesugi families, what has changed all this? ”

"What is it?" As if by hypnotic magic, I asked subconsciously, and I didn't realize it was right until the words were already uttered.

"Naturally, it is the Battle of Kawagoe, the Battle of Kawagoe that changed the entire pattern of Kanto!" He continued, a shallow smile on his lips. After the Battle of Kawagoe, the Uesugi family was defeated, and Hojo became the master of the Kanto region, and Odawara Castle and Hakone Tenkin blocked the enemy in the west for him, and the acquisition of Kawagoe Castle, the hub of the Kanto region, gave him the advantage of attacking north and east. So my strategy is to throw 20,000 men to capture Hayue City and then hold it! ”

"What about the future?" I don't think it's going to end there, because that's not saying anything.

"You don't have to do anything after that, just wait!" My momentum came up, but Genjiro returned to his cynical form. "Once they occupied Kawagoe Castle, they completely suppressed the living space of the Hojo family, and they had to deal with the attacks of others in many ways. In the past, those enemies of the Hojo family, such as the Satake family, the Utsunomiya family, and the Yuuki family, would seize the opportunity to frantically plunder the territory on the edge of the Hojo family, just like a lion would pounce on a pack of wolves after it fell. I just have to wait for such an opportunity, a chance for the Hojo Army to send troops to fight a decisive battle, and in order to keep the territory from falling apart, they will inevitably give me this opportunity. In fact, the Hojo family also knows that although the enemy in the west is not easy to attack, they are also not easy to attack, and if they want to be strong, they must stabilize the territory in the east and north! ”

"After that, you're going to take Odawara Castle?" I understood his strategy, but it seemed like it was more than worth the loss. "You have spent such a big price, but it seems that you have only won two castles, Kawagoe and Odawara, let's talk about it bigger! That is, a part of Musashi Hankoku and Sagami, and it was only 200,000 stone if it died. But the main result of defeating the Hojo family, the territory of more than two million, all fell into the hands of those guys who took a hitchhiker, don't you think it's a loss? ”

"Is it really a loss? I don't think so! "Maybe my legs were a little numb after a long time, Genjiro turned his legs from the back to the front, and changed his kneeling to kneeling, and this time it became a posture of playing chess with me on an equal footing. He dragged him, but he ignored it. "Don't look at the place as big, but as long as I occupy Odawara and Kawagoe Castle, I will have all the advantages of the current Hojo family. Since Hojo Sakumo was able to block all Imagawa and Takeda's attacks with Mt. Hakone and Odawara, then I could do it too; Since Hojo Shiyasu can rely on Kawagoe Castle and then sit on the land of eight states, then I can do it too; Since this Kanto million territory can be surnamed Hojo, then I can also let him change his surname to Sanada. To hell with the wild dogs who only fight for bones! ”

I sat there for a long time and it felt unreal. Is this person in front of you a teenager? How do I have the feeling of sitting in front of Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Mori Motosaku, so that the world is encompassed in the palm of my hand. I've met Date Masamune before, but he didn't give me this feeling, and even Oda Nobunaga didn't feel the same.

Sanada Masayuki and Sanada Nobuyuki looked at me and then at Genjiro, and the fear in their eyes grew. The meaning of these words can be big or small, as long as I crook my mouth in front of Oda Nobunaga, the Sanada family may be completely finished. Even I don't need to get an order from Oda Nobunaga, I can use the forces of Saku, Oprefecture and other places to send troops to destroy the Sanada family.

As the minutes ticked by, the room was a little too quiet, and some people could barely breathe with the oppressive feeling, and the guards on both sides of the courtyard were far away, and they didn't notice anything wrong here. Senkomaru looked at me and then at Genjiro without making any indications. Shinhachiro's eyes opened slightly, and a cold light shone out, and the "Fury of Shura" stood not far from his hand.

"20,000 people can get Kanto, and then you can get the world, that's what you mean, right?" I asked in a tone that didn't have any emotion.

"Probably!" He nodded.

"When are you going to start doing it?" There is a bit of a murderous aura in these words.

"I'm not going to do it!" He shook his head.

"Why?" I wonder. Judging from what he just said, it doesn't look like a person who cares about my feelings!

"Because I'm not in a hurry!" Genjiro shrugged his shoulders, as if he felt sorry for himself. "I'm not the head of the Sanada family, it will take at least ten years to raise my own 20,000 troops, and none of the next things will be easy to do!" He picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip, but it was his father's. "It will take five years to capture Kawagoe Castle and swallow the entire eight states of Kanto! There is also the rest of the world, I estimate that it will take another six to eight years, which adds up to more than 20 years of hard work. But today's big situation in the world will be settled, at most ten years later, the dust will settle, it is one thing to dominate the world, and resisting the imperial court is downright crazy. Ay...... It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time! ”

If he was just nervous just now, then he was on the verge of breaking out now, what did he think of Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Hojo Shiyasu, and Mori Moto? What do you think of the heroes of the world? The main thing is what did Oda Nobunaga think of?

"Then your life is really bad, what are you going to do in the future?" To everyone's surprise, I wasn't angry, but Genjiro wasn't one of them.

"The world is about to settle down, find a place to eat, drink and have fun for the rest of your life!" He said it as a matter of course, but he didn't know how he counted the first half of his life as a teenager. “…… The Sanada family is such a big place, and it is already very good to be able to give me a thousand stones in the future, but I am afraid that I can only be a local tyrant in the countryside for the rest of my life! "Speaking of which, he looked at me, and then at Xian Limaru." I heard that His Royal Highness's eldest son has just become the guardian of a country in Yuanfu, and even the son of the concubine will have more than 100,000 stones in the future, which is really a good fate......"

"Then how about you being my son's general, I will give you three thousand stones after the Yuan service!" I turned to Sanada Masayuki and asked, "Sanada-sama, what do you think?" ”

"Of course this ......" Sanada Masayuki was naturally unhappy, his son's nonsense not only did not cause trouble but in exchange for a good background, besides, hostages always have to be handed over, is there a better result than this?

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is so supportive of the boy, but is it for those strategies I made just now?" Genjiro was not very enthusiastic, but expressed some concern for my starting point.

"Sort of!" I nodded.

"Ha, ha, ha......" He suddenly laughed, and only said to me after a long time: "That was just my casual nonsense just now, it was a strategy that didn't work at all, and I didn't expect His Royal Highness Yuzhou, who was a famous general in the world, to take it seriously!" ”
