However, it was said that Inutaro and Tahiro each took fifty ninja soldiers to divide into two routes, dressed up all the way, and arrived at their respective destinations extremely concealed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Inutaro arrived directly from the territory of the Rokkaku family to the Inougami County of the Asai family, and along the way, he investigated the war readiness of the Rokkaku family, and finally on the evening of February 6, he entered the "heavy army" of the Asai family.

Led by a well-dressed attendant, Inutaro and his party quickly arrived at the Mekada castle tower and met Asai Nagamasa, who was reading a book.

"Here, sit down."

Asai Nagamasa said casually to Inutaro, and the book he was holding in his hand was also put down. Inutaro walked down cross-legged with a full of doubts, looked at Asai Nagamasa, who was about to make tea, and couldn't hold his breath for a while, so he asked.

"Shinkuro, no, His Royal Highness Asai, why did I go all the way, there are no soldiers and horses in Mekada Castle, and I look like I am ready to go out of the city, is Your Highness ready to send troops now?"

Asai Nagamasa didn't feel like he was explaining Inutaro's question, but took out the letter that Ji Qin wrote to him, pointed to the letter and said with a smile to Inutaro: "I did this, but according to the teacher's plan, and your arrangement teacher also said, how about it, do you want to listen?" ”

As soon as Inutaro heard that the adults had already made arrangements, the doubts along the way had turned into clouds and smoke, and they drifted away with the wind, and the doubts that there were so few soldiers of Mekada Castle, who was known as the "heavy army", disappeared.

"What do you say?"

Asai Nagamasa put the letter away, took a sip of tea, and then explained Ji Qin's arrangement and disposition in Inutaro's aggressive gaze: "Ten days ago, I received a letter from the teacher, the teacher said that Rokkaku Yoshiken had been silent for more than half a year, and knew that he was not in Qimu City, and he would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to destroy Qimu City, so the teacher asked me to send troops to Inugami County and make a posture of attacking the Rokkaku family, so as to drag Rokkaku Yoshiken and buy time for the transfer of Qiki City." ”

"Then you're going to send such a few troops? Why can't the whole country be mobilized? ”

Asai Nagamasa glanced at Inutaro, who was surprised, and continued, "I haven't finished speaking, why are you interrupting me." This is also the teacher's arrangement, the teacher said, let me take a thousand ashigaru into Mekada Castle on the first day, and then get rid of the spies scattered around as much as possible, and then send most of this thousand ashigaru out every night, and then drive into the city one after another the next day, so as to make the illusion of increasing troops. ”

Inutaro nodded and said softly, "Suspicious tactics?!" ”

Asai Nagamasa nodded, shook his head again, and after seeing Inutaro looking at him suspiciously, he said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, these ashigaru are really sent out, spring plowing is approaching, these ashigaru need to go back to farming, and I, too, will leave tonight." ”

Inutaro frowned, a little unresponsive, and said suspiciously: "You go, the soldiers will also be dismissed, what about the adult's plan, Miss Yazi, they haven't reached a safe place yet!" ”

Asai Nagamasa pressed his hand, signaled Inutaro not to get excited, and said calmly: "This is also the teacher's arrangement, these days' suspicious plan has been successful, the Rokkagons have already believed that I have at least five thousand soldiers in Mekada Castle, and the next thing is yours, there will only be three hundred ashigaru left in Mekada Castle, and you and I are similar in stature, and your appearance is somewhat similar, wearing the same clothes, looking at it from a distance, you will definitely not recognize who is who." ”

"The teacher asked you to come, first, to borrow the power of the ninja to prevent the Rokkaku family from sending dead soldiers to probe the reality of Mekada Castle, and I will rush to Kita-Asai County to cooperate with the teacher and take down Takashima County, where the Rokkaku family's forces are empty; The second is to let you put on my clothes and pretend to be me, as a shadow warrior to sit on the suspicion of the army. ”

"What should I do after pretending to be you, what if the Rokkaku family completes the mobilization and goes all out to attack Mekada Castle?" Inutaro thought for a moment and asked.

"Spring ploughing is imminent, and someone in the hexagonal family will definitely see that this is a delaying strategy, if you don't take the initiative to send troops, hexagonal Yixian will not dare to take the initiative to attack, and it will not be beneficial to anyone to fight, but it must be guarded like this, in the long run, the hexagonal family will suffer a big loss, and what you have to do is to delay it for as long as you can."

Asai Nagamasa looked at Inutaro's eyes and said seriously, hearing this, Inutaro nodded heavily, but Inutaro still had a doubt, and Inutaro felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well. "You said that spring ploughing is imminent, in such a short period of time, you and your lord can take Takashima County, do you have so many troops?"

Asai Nagamasa chuckled lightly and said: "Since I successfully inherited the family governor, according to the teacher's suggestion, I have vigorously developed commerce, implemented a certain degree of separation of soldiers and peasants, and currently has about 500 people standing in Ashigaru, which has been stationed in Kita-Asai County, a Takashima County with empty troops, with the help of teachers, these people are enough." ”

"I see."

That night, Asai Nagamasa and several of his attendants left Mekada Castle overnight, and they were to take a ferry that had been prepared on Lake Biwa and take the waterway to Kita-Asai County. And Inutaro, who stayed behind in Mekada Castle, scattered all the fifty ninjas in and around Mekada Castle to guard against the spies of the Rokkaku family.

After Tahiro arrived in Mino, he also secretly lurked, closely monitoring Saito Yoshiryu's movements, in case Mino Saito's family received an invitation from the Rokkaku family, and sent troops to attack the Asai family, but Tahiro was still a step slower, and the messenger of Rokkaku Yoshigen had already seen Saito Yoshimyu and invited him to send troops, but Saito Yoshimyu refused on the grounds that spring ploughing was imminent, and when Tahiro learned the news, he almost laughed three times, God help me.

On February 8th, Yoshiqin and Tsuru walked leisurely on the shores of Lake Biwa in Takashima County of Omi Province, while the little white dragon was led by Hamayoshi, and fifty pirates were scattered around Yoshiko, and fifty ninjas had been sent by Yoshiqin to investigate the actual situation of Takashima County and prepare for the capture of Takashima County.

Walking and walking, he came to a place, he looked at the lake in front of him, and said to Ji Qin in surprise: "Brother Ji Qin, this place is very suitable for a port!" ”

Hearing what the crane said, Yoshiqin is also interested, there are some small islands in Lake Biwa, and some of the small islands are still stationed in this water thief, but these water thieves are extremely weak, so there is no need to worry, but don't think that the water thieves are weak, the advantage of Lake Biwa is not strong, in fact, Lake Biwa connects many countries, and even the north can be connected to the sea, and the southeast and northwest can also go directly to Ise Bay and the Seto Inland Sea.

If you can build a naval army and control Lake Biwa, then the road will be much easier in the future, as for the question of what Tsuru said is suitable for a port, Ji Qin doesn't know anything, so he just follows Tsuru's words and smiles: "Is it?" After taking Takashima County, I proposed to Nagamasa that Hamachi and them build a military port here and develop a naval army. ”

"Brother Ji Qin, don't you ask, why is this suitable for a port?"

"I believe in the crane's vision."

He was stunned for a moment, turned around and buried his head in Ji Qin's chest, and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Ji Qin." ”

Ji Qin patted Tsuru on the shoulder, and a ninja quickly ran from afar, came to Ji Qin's side, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he whispered, "My lord, His Royal Highness Asai Nagamasa has arrived at Kaijin Castle. ”
