Okazaki Castle assessment room

All the powerful retainers of the Matsudaira family sat in the assessment room, waiting for the arrival of the young family governor, Matsudaira Motoyasu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Whispers filled the room.

"Did you hear that? This time, the main hall decided to wave its troops to Luo! ”

"I've heard about it for a long time, and I've heard that Suruga and Enoe have gathered no less than 20,000 horses."

"Wow! There are so many people and horses, and Suruga Enoe is really much richer than our three rivers. ”

"It's the ...... of Nishimikawa"

"The Pelican Hall Changzhao of Shangxiang City has also gathered 3,000 people! Looks like it's our backline. ”

"It's not so much the back, it's better to say that the battle is coming."

"Oh, yes. I heard that the Mizuno family in Kariya is neutral? ”

Just when the retainers were buzzing with each other, a voice came from outside the door, shouting, "The city lord has arrived!" ”

The retainers immediately stopped talking in private, and one by one closed their mouths and bowed to greet Matsudaira Motoyasu, the nineteen-year-old governor of the Matsudaira family.

After a while, a very young samurai walked through the door of the assessment room. This young samurai was Matsudaira Motoyasu, the lord of Okazaki Castle of the Imagawa family. Unlike the other castle lords and retainers of the Imagawa family, who liked to wear extraordinarily ornate robes, this young samurai wore a very simple samurai attire and did not show his opulence as a castle lord. Although the face is very young, you can see the sophistication that is extremely incompatible with the age between the eyebrows.

Matsudaira Motoyasu took a few steps to the main seat of the assessment room, looked at the retainers who were bowing to the ground in front of him, and his heart was already a little unconcealably excited, and he said, "Please don't be polite. ”

When the retainers who were subdued on the ground heard Matsudaira Motoyasu's words, they all got up one after another and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded and said, "Presumably you have already received the news, this time the lord gathered the power of all his leaders to mobilize more than 12,000 people of the Suruga Legion, and the Enoe Province also launched the 8,000 Enoe Legion under the leadership of Lord Asahina. And I, Sanhe, will send at least 5,000 troops. ”

Hearing the number of five thousand, some of the retainers below began to whisper again.

"Five thousand? Isn't it too much? ”

"Yes! My Matsudaira family can't muster 5,000 people anyway. ”

"The lord is talking about Mikawa, not my Matsudaira family."

Matsudaira Motoyasu coughed, which was regarded as suppressing the whispering retainers, and then said: "Lord Nagasho of the Uboden of Shangxiang City has gathered a thousand standing reserves, as well as two thousand people from the East Three Rivers. And Mizuno Nobumoto-sama of Kariya Castle was unable to go on the expedition because of a serious illness, so my Matsudaira family had to send two thousand troops......" As soon as I finished talking about the number of two thousand, the following discussion began again......

"Two thousand? Isn't that a complete mobilization? ”

"Yes, if my Matsudaira family is fully mobilized, I may be able to gather two thousand people."

"That's it! Don't talk about it! The main hall has promised that if the Oda family is eliminated this time and Owari is occupied, the Matsudaira family will be revived! Please also fight for the revival of my Matsudaira family! Announce the mission below! Matsudaira Motoyasu straightened out the order in the assessment room, and then prepared to send the task.

"Yes!" When all the retainers heard that the mission was about to be announced, they all sat up and agreed together.

Matsudaira Motoyasu showed a satisfied smile and began to post the task, saying, "Sakai Tadaji! I ordered you to go to the West Kamo County to mobilize the people of the country, and at least 300 people must be recruited. ”

"Yes!" Tadaji Sakai replied.

Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded and continued, "Okubo Tadashi! I ordered you to go to Dongkamo County to mobilize the people of the country, and at least 300 people must be recruited. ”

"Yes!" Tadashi Okubo also took over the task.

"Yasumasa Shenyuan! In this war, the Mizuno family did not participate, and ordered you to go to Bihai County, and encourage some people to go with us on the expedition, bring more finances, and promise heavy profits or knowledge. Be sure to gather 200 people! Matsudaira Motoyasu said.

"But the family doesn't have much knowledge and deeds to give them a seal?" Faced with this most distant task, Yasumasa Shenyuan raised his own questions.

Matsudaira Motoyasu smiled and said, "The Mizuno family of Kariya did not send troops to Shangluo with the lord this time, it must be the Oda family inside." Hum! Thinking that no one will be offended in this way, don't you know that after the lord destroys the Oda family, his Mizuno family will have a few days to live. ”

Shenyuan Yasumasa was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "What the lord said is that as long as the 48,000 stones of the Mizuno family are put out, they must be able to convince these people." ”

Seeing that Shenyuan Yasumasa understood what he meant, Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded with satisfaction, and then announced the order: "Honda Tadashikatsu!" I order you to immediately assemble the five hundred standing reserves of your family and be ready to go into battle at any time! ”

Honda Tadakatsu, known as the number one warrior of the Matsudaira family, naturally wanted to lead the most elite Okazaki people, so he agreed loudly: "Yes! ”

"Everyone else will return to their respective territories, mobilize to the maximum extent, and gather at Okazaki Castle in three days to defeat the Oda clan! To revive the Matsudaira family! Please! Matsudaira Motoyasu impassionedly gave the final order.

"Yes!" All the retainers bowed down again!

Narumi Castle assessment room

Sakuma looked at the few lower-level samurai around him who were drooping their heads and didn't dare to breathe, and shook his head helplessly. The big war is imminent, and there is not even one available person by his side.

It's been four days since he came to Narumi Castle, and Sakuma Morishige has received news more than once that Mikawa has mobilized troops in the country, and the vanguard of the Imagawa family is more than 2,000 people from Okazaki under Matsudaira Motoyasu, the lord of Okazaki Castle. Although at least half of the countrymen and local tycoons were mixed in, there were only 500 people in their hands. Moreover, the city defense of Narumi Castle is very simple, and the low wooden city wall has only one honmaru, a simple crown wooden gate, and there is not even a small oar...... How do you defend the city? In the past few days, I have sent people to ask for help from the lord several times, but the people sent there have not even heard from him. Sakuma Morishige really felt a deep sense of despair.

"Report to the Lord! The vanguard of the Imagawa army was found outside Narumi Castle, and looking at the flag, it should be the Matsudaira family of Mikawa and some wealthy people. The number is about two thousand. A junior samurai hurriedly ran into the assessment room, and without any etiquette, he reported directly to Sakuma.

Sakuma Shengzhong slowly stood up, first sighed, and then said helplessly: "It seems that I, Sakuma Shengzhong, am destined to die here today!" Ay! That's it! Come with me to the city and see the guys from Mikawa! Let's see if their knives are fast, or if my Sakuma heavy knives are fast! With that, he left the assessment room with those junior samurai and walked towards the city.
