"See the lord."

On the mountain, Katsura Katsuma, Uchijima Shiri, Tsuchiya Masahiro, Higashi Changqing and others all bowed down to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao hummed, motioned for everyone to get up, and then waved his hand and said, "I have heard about the battle in the past few days, and I heard that the water source in Chengsheng City has been cut off, right?" ”

Shima Sheng snorted violently and said: "Back to the lord, the water source in the city was indeed cut off today, and his subordinates were incompetent, and several fierce battles failed to shake the formation of the Uesugi army, and please punish him." ”

Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault, the Uesugi army is powerful, and Naoe Jinggang is a famous general, even if I am here, I don't dare to concentrate all my strength on a decisive battle with the Uesugi army, so it is wise for you not to fight easily." ”

At this time, Tsuchiya Masahiro said: "But the lord, Kinoshita-sama, Baba-sama, and 1,500 soldiers of our army are still trapped in the city, don't you rescue them?" ”

Li Xiao glanced at Tsuchiya Changheng and said: "Of course we have to rescue, not to mention that Chengsheng City is the key to connecting Feihui Yuezhong, that is, Kinoshita, Racecourse, they are also the generals of our army, of course, they can't see death or rescue." ”

Everyone listened to Li Xiao's words and looked at each other.

At this time, the Uchijima clan said: "This is a dilemma, going to war is likely to put oneself in danger, but if you don't fight, you will see the destruction of your allies, is there a way for the lord to save Kinoshita-sama if he doesn't fight?" ”

Li Xiao glanced at the Shentong River flowing by the city, and said, "Of course there is." ”

Shima Katsutsu, Tsuchiya Chang, but they followed Li Xiao's gaze to look at the magic power under the city."

Li Xiaoyan said: "I decided to build a dam to intercept the flow in the upper reaches of the Shentong River, flood the Uesugi army, and let them all go to fish and shrimp." ”

Shima Katsuto, Tsuchiya Masatsune, and Uchijima Clan were all surprised when they heard about it.

"This matter must be done quickly and tonight," Li Xiao said categorically, "a dam that can store water must be built within seven days." ”

Shima Katsu said fiercely: "Lord, the time is too difficult, and the city will not be able to support the water interruption in five days, and even if the dam is built within seven days, it will definitely not be able to catch up." ”

Tsuchiya Masatsune said, "With my tools, we can do it immediately, this is our skill, so it is easy to gather the people, so there is no need to worry about running out of manpower." ”

Masamori Kohata said on the side: "Tsuchiya-sama, the dam building is child's play, you take it for granted. ”

Tsuchiya Masahiro said angrily: "Since it is the order of the lord, will he still lose his plan?" ”

Regarding the dispute between the two, Li Xiao smiled and said: "It's okay, you can do it, I have a plan for this battle." ”

The city was born in the city, and the water source was cut off on the third day.

The Echigo army is in the main camp.

"Is there any movement of the Takeda Army outside the city in the past few days?" Naoe Jinggang asked to see things.

"There is no movement from the Lord."

Naoe Jinggang frowned, and said: "It has been three days since the water source of Chengsheng City was cut off, and the Takeda Army has not moved, neither fighting, but sticking to it. ”

At this time, another general of the Uesugi Army, Takeshi Keitsuna, said: "Maybe the Takeda Army is afraid of the strength of our army, so it is common sense that they do not dare to rush into battle. ”

Naoe Jinggang waved his hand and said: "Impossible, although I have not fought with the opponent's general Shima Katsumon, I also know that the other party is a general with a strong personality, and he will never sit back and watch Chengsheng City being captured by our army without making a move, and the Takeda army must have other plans." ”

Naoe Jinggang pondered for a while and asked the generals in the military tent, "In the past few days, have you noticed anything abnormal?" ”

The Uesugi generals looked at each other and shook their heads at each other.

"Maybe it's really me thinking too much." Just as Naoe Jinggang muttered to himself.

At this time, in the silent military tent, a person suddenly whispered: "Lord Naoe, I found that it seems that the Takeda Army is building a camp tent in a higher camp these days, I wonder if this is an anomaly?" ”

"Build a new camp, do you have reinforcements from the Takeda Army?" Zhuhou Qinggang asked.

Naoe Jinggang shook his head and said, "No, the camp tent was built not to accept reinforcements, but to move the camp. ”

After a pause, Naoe Jinggang seemed to think of something, Huo Ran turned around and asked, "You said that the Takeda Army moved its camp to a higher mountain, right?" ”

"Exactly, but not too much, only a few tents."

Faced with such a fierce question, the Ashigaru general of the Uesugi Army was taken aback.

Naoe Jinggang nodded, waved the folding fan, and said, "I know, the Takeda Army has a plan." …,

"Naoe-sama, have you guessed the Takeda Army's plan?"

In the face of his inquiry, Naoe Jinggang nodded and said, "Everyone, have you noticed that the water flow of the Shentong River has weakened a lot in the past few days?" ”

Hearing Naoe Jingzuna's question, the generals of the Uesugi army suddenly understood.

"Lord Naoe, you said that the Takeda Army is going to take a water attack?" Zhu Qi Qinggang slapped his thigh and said, "The Takeda army is really vicious, and it actually wants to flood my 10,000 troops in Echigo." ”

Naojiang Jinggang snorted coldly and said, "Li Xiao's poisonous scheme, is there still a lot of it?" The last time my family, Lord Murakami, was wiped out by Li Xiao's flooded tactics, and his own martial arts were cut off in the mountains of Wu'an County. ”

"Since we know that the Takeda Army is building a dam, what should we do about it? Immediately pull out the camp and move to higher ground? Zhuhou Qinggang asked.

Hearing the words of Zhu Misao Qinggang, Naoe Jinggang hesitated slightly, and at this moment, a samurai entered the military tent and reported: "Lord Naoe, we caught a suspicious person in the mountains, and he was about to cross the defense line of our army into the castle, so we suspected that it was the work of the Takeda army, and searched for a note from the other party. ”

After taking the note and scanning it at a glance, Naoe Keixuna said to the samurai, "Bring the other party to me." ”

Soon, a man dressed as a Shugendo was escorted into the Uesugi army.

Seeing the other party's dress, Naoe Jinggang sneered and said, "It turned out to be a mountain fushi, is your Excellency going to Tateyama to pay homage?" ”

The path of cultivation is a combination of chalk tantra and mountain beliefs.

For example, the belief in Mt. Fuji, the belief in Hakusan, etc., and Mt. Tateyama is located in the chalk country of Echichu, which is a place where people who practice the path of meditation flock to it.

The other party listened to Naoe Jinggang's words, "Snorted and kept his mouth shut."

Naoe Jinggang stretched the note forward and said, "The letter says that your Takeda Army has quietly built a dam upstream of the Divine Power and is preparing to flood our army tonight, but is it true? ”

Before this person could answer, all the Uesugi generals present looked moved when they heard this, and then they all fidgeted.

The Takeda Army's meticulous master laughed and said, "Lord Naoe, since you have understood, what else are you asking?" You and I won't survive today. ”

Naoe Jinggang's face sank, he knew that the people who sent the letter like this were all dead soldiers, and it was difficult to ask anything from the other party's mouth, so he waved his hand and motioned to take this person down.

At this time, in the military tent, the Takeda army's detailed words, all the generals had already heard it clearly, and they persuaded Naoe Jinggang to move to the camp.

Facing the request of the generals, Naoe Jinggang nodded immediately and said, "Since this is the case, immediately pull out the camp." ”

For a while, in the tent of the Uesugi military camp, there was a scene of camping. This text is provided by Qihang Dagger Qishen

The generals of the Takeda Army on the mountain looked at the scene of the Uesugi army pulling out the camp, and noticed that the Uesugi army was a little hasty.

"My lord, the rumors that our army is going to flood the Uesugi army camp with a water attack method have been successfully walked inside the Uesugi army."

"Very good," Li Xiao smiled slightly, "It seems that the rumors have had an effect." ”

On the side, Dao Sheng smiled fiercely: "Naoe Jinggang really fell for the master's plan, they didn't know about our army's dam building, they just pretended, but in fact they didn't spend much energy." ”

"It's not a pretense," said Kohata with a smile, "Our army is indeed building a dam upstream, otherwise the amount of water has not weakened, and this cannot deceive Naoe Jinggang's judgment. It's just that Naoe Jinggang doesn't know that even if our army succeeds in building the dam, it will take at least ten days to get in prison. It is simply impossible to catch up with the rescue of the city. ”

Kohata Masamori said this, and all the generals laughed, and the feeling of playing with the palm of the famous Echigo general Naoe Keixuna was a win.

"Of course, in the end, the lord sent a dead soldier into the city to deliver a message, arranging for the deliberate capture of the Uesugi army, so as to deceive Naoe Keixuna into believing that our army would dig the dam tonight, otherwise they would not have withdrawn from the camp so quickly."

Everyone saw that Zhijiang Jinggang entered Li Xiaozhi's trap step by step, and they were all impressed by Li Xiao's strategy.

For example, before Kohata was prosperous, he had only heard of Li Xiao's name and had not seen his ability, but today he finally saw Li Xiao's methods, and he admired and feared him in his heart.

Fortunately, such people are all working for the Takeda family, and if they join the enemy army, it will be a disaster for my Takeda family, Kohata Masamori couldn't help but think so in his heart.

At this time, Li Xiaoyan said: "Now that the rumors are in effect, when the Uesugi army moved to camp, the army's heart was moved, it was when our army went down the mountain to break through the enemy's defenses and rescue Kinoshita and the two adults of the racecourse, who is willing to drive the army forward?" ”

"I'm willing to go!"

Kohata is prosperous, and Tsuchiya Masahiro replied in unison.

Tsuchiya Masahiro said: "Lord Kohata, it is a guest army, and the art of war is cloudy, and the guest army cannot be used as a striker, so it is better to be prepared by the horsemen below, and do this thing that takes the lead in the conflict." ”

Kohata Masamori smiled and said: "They are all for the service of Lord Gokan, why come to the guest army, Lord Tsuchiya, my Kohata army is stronger than Your Excellency, this arduous battle, or leave it to me."

Tsuchiya Changheng snorted coldly and said: "Not necessarily, I am a warrior on horseback, and each one can be ten." ”

These two people don't like each other, and they are even more evenly matched in the current dispute.

At that moment, Li Xiao came forward and said: "You two don't have to fight anymore, your task is to attack the weaker Shiina army among the enemy army, I choose this as a breakthrough, so I will take Tsuchiya Masahiro riding horses as the first formation, and the Kohata army of Kohata prosperity as the second formation, I will lead the army to attack again, and then notify Kinoshita-sama to prepare to join forces inside and outside." ”

Seeing Li Xiao's order, all the generals had no objections, and they gladly accepted the order
