Chapter 701: The Maori Family Prepares (1)

The appearance of Inoue Motokan and Motojin Honjo made Mori Mototo more confident about the future war with the Oda family. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in his heart, these two are undoubtedly the best candidates to assist Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei. Yoshikawa Motoharu is brave and good at fighting, but although he is 40 years old, he is still a little impulsive many times, and if there is an assistant from Inoue Motokan, a 67-year-old veteran, even if there is no way to stop Yoshikawa Motoharu, at least he can help him wipe his ass.

But Kobayakawa Takakei is the opposite of Yoshikawa Motoharu, who inherited the wisdom of Maori Moto, and most of the time he likes to use strategy to solve problems. Sometimes, however, if you focus too much on strategy, you will lose sight of the frontal battlefield. With the assistance of this 22-year-old fierce general, coupled with the calm and steady Soji Shimizu, it is simply perfect.

However, Mori Yuan will not think that there are two more generals, and if Otomo is done, the Mori family will definitely be able to defeat the Oda family. Although the Oda encirclement network led by the Mori, Takeda, and Uesugi families was very strong, the strength displayed by the Oda family made the Mori Yuan not too satisfied with the existing forces.

The reason is also very simple, although it seems that the forces of Mori, Takeda, Uesugi, Miyoshi, and Honganji are very strong when they are united, but the alliance of many forces itself does not know that it is too stable. It's like the first siege network organized by Ashikaga Yoshiaki before, because Honganji Temple, Settsu, and Tanba many wealthy clans failed to form a unified command, and finally fell short. And by the time they had a unified command, they were already facing a very well-prepared wise Mitsuhide.

There is an even more serious problem, and that is the enduring combat effectiveness of the Oda family. Population, money, food, and equipment, the Oda family has a national power that is completely unmatched by other forces. If you can't open the situation in an instant and quickly expand your advantage, then you are likely to be dragged into a protracted battle by the Oda family. And when the time comes, it will be difficult for the Takeda family, the Uesugi family, or the Maori family to win against the Oda family.

And once they enter a protracted war, it will be difficult for their own territory to remain stable. The Oda family is surrounded by enemies, so there is no need to worry about enemies on all sides, but whether it is the Mori family or the Uesugi family, there are other forces behind it, and if someone stabs them in the back at that time......

Therefore, Maori Yuan couldn't wait to bring Inoue Motokan and Honjo Motozhen under his command, so that even if the Otomo family was really unwilling to be lonely, at least the harm could be minimized, but this was only the first step. For Maori Yuan, he will never interfere in armaments, logistics, and other things that must be prepared for all wars, and all he has to do is to lay out the whole situation before the war.

Maori Yuan has never believed that there is any war in the world that must be won, so before every war, Maori Yuan will use all kinds of means to increase the victory rate of his side. Although it is up to people to make things happen, it is obvious that as long as the plan is in place, God will unconsciously lean to that side, after all, not everyone can open the halo of the protagonist everywhere Ping A, right? Belch...... It seems that the current Oda family has such a ......

"Your Highness the General, I'm going to trouble you again." Mori Terumoto said with a smile, and as he spoke, he slowly pushed the brewed tea in front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki. His actions seemed a little unnatural, but it was clear that he was trying to imitate his grandfather.

When he was 50 years old, he gave up the position of governor to his eldest son, Mori Takamoto. Unfortunately, this eldest son, who was considered by Maori Yuan to have no talent of Yuanchun and Longjing, but was the most suitable candidate for the governor of the Maori family, was assassinated and killed 17 years after he succeeded him.

Helplessly, Maori Yuan could only put Maori Huiyuan, the eldest son of Maori Longyuan, who was only 11 years old at the time, to the position of family governor. However, it is obvious that it was impossible for Maori Huiyuan at that time to support the Maori family, so Maori Yuan had to continue to hold power at the age of 60.

However, now, Maori Huiyuan has been studying by Maori Yuan's side for 7 years, and with the growth of Maori Huiyuan, Maori Yuan has gradually handed over some less important things to Maori Huiyuan to deal with. After all, no matter how much you train a young eagle, it can only learn to fly when it reaches the sky. Moreover, even if he does something wrong, he will wipe his ass if he has Maori Yuan.

Picking up the tea bowl and tasting it, it was half loud, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki exclaimed, "Good tea~ I didn't expect to be able to drink such high-quality tea in the western country, and I didn't expect Huiyuan to be so clever in your tea skills." ”

"Hehe, this is offered by Otomo, and it is said that it is the best tea that the Southern Barbarians got from the Ming Kingdom." Mori Terumoto smiled, hoping to show his grandfather's usual unfathomable look.

"I see." Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded, "So what are the Maori families going to do?" In my opinion, now that the siege network is complete, it is only necessary to wait for the troops to be assembled before the Oda family can be officially attacked. Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki's tone was very flat, his words still revealed his impatience.

No way, he has been waiting for this day for a long, long time, maybe some people think, what if they have waited for so long, how about waiting for a few more years? And Ashikaga Yoshiaki was the same at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed honestly in the mountain castle of Yoshida-gun. But now that the Maori family has taken Otomo and is finally ready to attack the Oda family, how can Ashikaga Yoshiaki endure it?

However, when facing Mori Moto, Ashikaga Yoshiaki never showed this side, because he knew that Mori Mototo was not really helping the shogunate. If he is too impatient, he will let Mao Liyuan take the opportunity to slaughter him fiercely.

Although he didn't pay much attention to it before, during this time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki completely appreciated the cunning of Maori Moto. To put it simply, he originally wanted to mediate the war between Maori and Otomo, but was persuaded by Maori Yuan in a few words, and even took the initiative to help him play the role of persuading him to surrender.

But in the eyes of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but the 17-year-old Mori Terumoto will never have any castles, right? With a little stimulation, what might it do? Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki also knew that Mori Terumoto did not have the right to decide.

"Hehe, Your Royal Highness General, the Oda family is powerful, and you can't underestimate it. And although the family is very anxious to help His Royal Highness the Shogun return to Kyoto and regain power, there are still some things that have to be done before the war. In the face of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's temptation, Mori Terumoto is still trying to learn from his grandfather.

Okay, maybe Mori Terumoto's mission this time is just to maintain the posture of Mori Moto, and finish the words that Mori Mototo let him convey to Ashikaga Yoshiaki?
