Faced with Naito Ruan's sudden words, Araki Tsuna's body was shocked, and he asked repeatedly, "Do you want to ask Takeda for help?" ”

Ruan Naito nodded slightly, indicating that this was exactly what he meant.

Araki Tsunade stared at it for a while, and said: "It's really unexpected, the Takeda family Hida Echichu Legion, I have heard that its retired head Li Xiao is the Duke of Shingen, after the Duke of the clan Kang, Kanto is a famous general who is on a par with the Duke of Kenshin, the battle of Nagashino, and even Nobunaga, the thief, was killed in his hands. ”

"However, Li Xiao has already retired," the Araki clan said as soon as he changed his words, "In the past two years, the Hida Legion and the Shibata Katsuya have fought for Hokuriku Province, and the war is at a disadvantage. ”

Naito Ruan smiled: "Araki-sama, that's wrong, isn't Wakasa Province also in Hokuriku?" ”

Seeing that Naito Ruan had grasped his little speech disease, the Araki clan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, sat up straight, and said: "Hida Mamoru, although I have been fighting in Tanba, I have also studied the situation in Hokuriku and the battle between the Shibata Army and the Li Army. ”

After a pause, the Araki clan said: "Now Shibata's main force is facing off with Takeda's and Ichimune coalition forces in Kaga, and the Takeda army is at a disadvantage, so it is necessary to send a naval army with spare strength to make a detour and sneak attack on Wakasa's rear. If Naito-sama was to expect the Takeda Army to open a new front in Wakasa, it would be absolutely impossible. ”

Naito Ruan listened to Araki's words. With a long sigh, he said, "You said I don't know, but when it comes to this, I can only give it a try." ”

"Except for the Li family, no one can save the country of Tanba. Araki-sama, I'm willing to be subordinate to Takeda. Request support from Takeda. ”

Araki Clan Tsunade listened to Naito Ruan's words, his body was shocked, and he said: "Naito Hida Mamoru, the Naito family is the guardian of Tanba, and they have been guarding here for a hundred years. Are you really willing to give up everything and be subordinate to Takeda? ”

Naito Ruan nodded resolutely and said, "Yes, there is no other way." ”

The Araki clan looked at Naito Ruan's expression, shook his head and said, "It's impossible for my Hatano family to follow the example of the Naito family and subordinate to the Takeda family, but you're right. Always give it a try, and when Akechi Mitsuhide came to take Tamba this time, he wanted to eradicate all those who did not follow, and he wanted to take this place as a direct leader. ”

"So even if I fight to the last soldier, I will fight to the death! Mamoru Hida, say goodbye! ”

After saying that, the Araki clan strode out of the castle tower, and Naito Ruan said slowly, "Lord Araki, take care!" ”

After the Araki clan is gone.

The castle tower was empty, and only Naito Ruan was left.

Naito Ruan understood that there was still room for Araki Tsunade to speak, and his remaining strength was the daimyo Besshoji of Higashi Harima Province.

Beschoji Nagaji is the son-in-law of Hideharu Hatano, the governor of the Hatano family. The two formed an alliance.

And as far as Naito Ruan knows, Beschoji Nagaji has always been against the Oda family, ordering him to slander the Mori family, and he has long been against it, so the two families are united, and they may not have the strength to resist the wise army.

However, Harima Country is not, and it is not the case that Nagaji alone can say it.

Nishiharima's Kodera family has subdued the Oda family. Greeted by Kodera Elder Kuroda Takataka, Hideyoshi Hashiba led the Kita-Omi Army into Harima Province and served as the front line of the Oda family's resistance to the Mori family.

If other Nagaji is reversed, Hashiba Hideyoshi's back road will be cut off, and he will inevitably fight back. At that time, the two alliances of Hatano and Bessho were attacked by the two major armies of Oda, and the situation was not a hundred times worse than now.

Naito Ruan held the cross in front of him, pondered slowly, and suddenly the fire on the candlestick exploded. …,

Naito Ruan's eyes flashed, and his eyes showed a resolute look, and he said: "Someone who came to prepare a pen and paper, and prepare a fast horse, and after I finish writing the letter, I will immediately send it to Tase Mountain Castle." ”

"Oh!"

After Naito finished writing the book, he stamped his own seal, printed the monogram, and attached the Naito family's military service account book, and put it in the envelope.

Immediately, Naito Ruan ordered a confidant retainer to gallop overnight to Tase Mountain Castle in Wakasa Province, escorted by ten samurai.

The night is falling, and beyond the stars, there are pine waves.

Naito Ruan stood in front of the pane, watched more than ten horses gallop out of the Outer Pill Otemon, drew a cross on his chest, and secretly said in his heart: "May the Lord bless, the hope of the country of Tamba lies here, Amen!" ”

The messenger who set out from the Naito family, with the great trust of the lord, did not dare to slack off at all, and galloped towards Tase Mountain Castle in the starry night.

At this time, it was the second day that the Takeda family had captured Taseyama Castle.

In the castle tower of Taseyama Castle, this is also the place where the castle keeper Shoube Kentoku finally cut his abdomen.

Now this time, several of the generals in charge of the Hida Echichu Legion who attacked Wakasa Province gathered here to discuss the next move.

They are the general of the navy, Mukai Massuna, Chiga Sun Bingwei, the Ming Dynasty maritime merchant ship, Wang Tanzhi, and Wakasa Takeda Naimu Tomoyoshi, and more than a dozen ship generals.

At this moment, a sailor with a rib in his hand walked into the castle tower and reported to Mukai Masatsuna, "Report to the bow of the ship, there is a messenger from the Tamba Naitdo family outside. ”

"Tanba country? The Naito family? ”

Hearing this name, all the generals were at a loss, and some people didn't even know where Tanba Province was, and no one knew about the Naito family.

Mukai Masatsuna knew a little about it, and said: "Is the Naito family the guardian of Tanba Country?" Muto-sama. ”

Hearing what Mukai Masatsuna said, everyone turned their attention to the local indigenous Muto Tomoyoshi.

Muto Tomoyi nodded slightly and said, "Exactly." ”

After a pause, Muto Tomoyi added, "The main castle of the Naito family is not far from Tase Mountain Castle, and I heard that the general of the Oda family, Akechi Mitsuhide, has been aggressive in Tanba recently, so the envoy of the Naito family is here, presumably it must be related to this." ”

As the elder of the Takeda family, Muto Tomoji is worthy of knowing the situation around Wakasa well, and he will guess the envoy's intentions.

If the envoy of the Naito family came in, everything was as Muto Tomoji said, the Naito family sought help from the Takeda family, and was also willing to surrender and subordinate.

When I heard that the Naito family, the daimyo of Tanba Kunisuke, was about to subdue the family, and all the bows present were shocked.

After the envoy retreated, Mukai Masatsuna said to everyone: "I came to attack Taseyama Castle, but I only flanked the back of this Shibata army, but I have no intention of gaining a foothold here. ”

Taga Senbei also said: "Yes, the tactics of our navy have always been to run after going ashore to plunder, and will never be entangled on land. ”

Mukai Masatsuna, Taga Senbei's words, immediately made all the bows of the ship nod, in other words, the navy army wants land warfare is a guerrilla formation, harassment and harassment is okay, if you turn to attack the city and open up the battlefield, this is really difficult for a strong man.

However, at this time, Muto Tomoyi said: "I don't think so, everyone, I, Wakasa Takeda, still have power in Wakasa Country, if one or two are mobilized, there are many people and wealthy families in the country, not to mention that we occupy Tase Mountain Castle, the capital of this place, and the governor is the local guardian generation, so this call will inevitably get the response of the people, and it is not without a foothold." ”

At the same time, Wang Tanzhi's eyes turned around, and he said: "If the siege of the city is the next policy, it will definitely not work, but Tase Mountain Castle is close to the sea, with the strength of our maritime merchant army and the army of the army, it is enough to hold it, ensure the replenishment of the garrison troops and food, and also have the support of naval artillery. ”…,

In fact, Wang Tanzhi thought that the famous town of Kohama under Taseyama Castle has always been an important sea passage near, and it can also communicate with North Korea.

If the Ming maritime merchants were here, following the example of Nengdeng and Yuezhong, and opening a supply base, then trade would be of great disadvantage to the shipping routes.

After some deliberation among the people present, they did not come up with a decision, and the opinions of the people of the Navy were not inclined to gain a foothold here, while Muto Tomoyoshi expressed his support out of his ambition to revive his old Wakasa country, while Wang Tanyuki also agreed with it out of consideration for the interests of the merchants.

Finally, as the person in charge of this raid on Wakasa Province, Mukai Masatsuna said: "Don't quarrel, the decision on the movement of our army in Wakasa Country is agreed upon by the young lord and the retainers, and we can write down our respective opinions on the attachment of the Naito family this time, attach it to the letter, and forward it to the young lord as their reference, and finally it will be agreed between His Highness and the retainers, and finally decide on the direction of this strategy." ”

After hearing what Mukai Masatsuna said, everyone said that it was meaningless, and everyone thought about writing their opinions in the letter, and together with the envoy of the Naito family, they rushed to Kaga on the fastest Ataka ship early the next morning.

Kaga, Oyama Gobo.

Oyama Gobo has always been the home of Kaga Ichijomune.

Ichijo has been operating in Kaga for many years, and standing in the highest Buddhist hall and looking out, countless monks' houses, Buddhist halls, and temples are located during this period.

This is the most prosperous place in the Hokliku Sect of Buddhism, and it is even larger than the scale of the Goetchi Nakatsu Mountain Imperial Workshop.

At the same time, as a Pingshan Castle, a large number of arrows, stone walls, moats and other fortifications were also built under the Imperial Castle to strengthen the defense.

The monks and soldiers are guarding here day and night, and the monks of the Xiangzong sect are holding Buddhist scriptures in one hand and naginata in the other, which makes a deep impression.

At the moment, because of the pressure of the Shibata Legion, the monks and soldiers in the Oyama Imperial Workshop all showed a solemn look on their faces, and some ordinary believers and disciples were also panicked.

Kaga has been fighting for two years, and Shibata Katsuya has fought Kaga five times before, winning all of them and killing thousands of corpses.

At present, Enuma Prefecture, the southernmost prefecture of Kaga, has been annexed by the Shibata Army.

Kaga has always been defeated and retreated, and only with the support of the Takeda Army's Hida Echichu Army, he barely maintained the battle situation.

Now Shibata Katsuie, with an army of 35,000, is in Kaga for the sixth time, and the support corps of the Takeda Army has also arrived, and the main formation has been deployed in Oyama Gobo.

Now landing from Kagabashi Tachiko, the envoy of Tanba Province is rushing to Oyama Gobo non-stop. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
