News of riots in many places in Echigo quickly spread throughout the Uesugi army headquarters in Mt. Tsumi.

In this era, intelligence control is something that is often done as a daimyo and a lord, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and good things do not go out, and evil things go thousands of miles...... Malicious murder in Kasugayama Castle Shitamachi, Kashiwazaki Port street fire, Iiyama Castle, Biwajima Castle rumors...... These bad things were spread by word of mouth by Ashigaru and lower-ranking samurai, and spread among the Uesugi army at an extremely fast speed.

People's hearts fluctuate, and this is also said.

Although Sister Uesugi didn't want to admit it, at this moment, it was Takeda Harunobu who had the upper hand.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of her subordinates, Sister Uesugi gathered all the generals and above and issued a military order, asking them to patrol their respective divisions to calm people's hearts.

The practice of patrolling the camp, Sasa Narumasa also knows that it is simple and effective.

The lord who was usually unattainable, went to ask the peasant soldiers under his command whether Ashigaru had eaten and slept well, and how his injuries were, which was a great favor for the lowly Japanese peasants.

This method was also learned by Sister Uesugi from the military law books of the Ming Kingdom, but her hard work was not understood by the generals under her.

On the night of the 8th, when Sasa Narumasa walked in the Uesugi army camp with the handle of the sword, he didn't see many generals really obeying Uesugi Sister's orders to patrol the night.

He sighed silently and walked into the Rose Knight's camp.

The knights gathered in twos and threes, sitting on the grass and at the roots of the trees, playing some games of guessing and gambling.

The Knights of the Roses, well paid and well equipped, had trained all day, but now they were well off, and they had no battles to fight, and when the day's patrols were over, they were happy to play in the camp.

Sasa Seimasa found the most troublesome past, and sure enough, he found Keiji Maeda.

Alcohol was not allowed in the barracks, but this rule did not apply to three people in the Uesugi Army.

The first one, of course, is Sister Uesugi, who is as good as a drinker.

The second is Keiji Maeda, a brave general known for being a stranger.

The last one is the Suzuki shrub that "walks, sits and lies down, and does not leave the wine".

At this time, Keiji Maeda and Suzuki Shuto were holding an extra-large wine gourd and staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Tiger Tiger Tiger (Worm)!"

"Tiger Tiger Stick (Stick)!"

"Tiger Tiger Tiger (Chicken)!"

"Haha...... You lose, drink fast! ”

Keiji finally won and couldn't help laughing.

But he was not afraid to drink, so he pulled the cork of the wine gourd and poured it with his head up.

"You're having a great time."

Sazuo Chengzheng came to a strange sentence in a strange way.

The knights turned around one after another and formed a semicircle around Chengzheng.

"See the lord!"

"Homesick?"

Sasa asked abruptly,

"Missing your wife and children at home? Do you miss your parents in the mountains? At noon today, I received news from Sakado that there was a disturbance in our Uedanoso and that it had burned down half of the towns and the Honmaru castle tower of Sakado Castle, do you have any family living under Sakado Castle? We are now deep into the territory of the Takeda clan, whether your family is safe or not, I am afraid that it will be difficult to know for a while, you ...... Afraid? ”

Cheng Zheng's tone is very flat, and there is no arrogance, just like chatting after dinner. He should have continued to hide the sabotage in the area of Shangtianzhuang, but he said it at this time.

The crowd who were still in high spirits just now all quieted down, and even the atmosphere became depressing.

"It's going to be fine, Ah Song is actually pregnant with a child, I have to accompany her after the war, how could she have an accident...... Never! ”

Keiji Maeda was the first to speak, but before he said this, he immediately made Sasa feel a little weird.

"That's right...... They're not going to have an accident, so in order to reunite everyone with their families as soon as possible, I want to say ...... Hold on for a few more days, I believe that within a few days, we should finish this battle, and after the fight, I will give each of you half a month's vacation, so that you can have a good relationship with your family! ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Is it really just a few days to finish? Before I went out last month, my father found me a daughter-in-law, and I went out before I got married. Lord...... You're going to come to the villain's wedding. ”

"Hmm...... I won't be absent. ”

"Kanbei, you kid looks not young, but I didn't expect to be a chick! My son can cut the green sprouts! ”

…… Listening to the soldiers' nonsense and beautiful visions sentence by sentence, Sasa Naruma always felt that something was strange and not quite right.

It wasn't until the next evening that he remembered...... Isn't what those soldiers say is self-reliance!

Those are considered unlucky words that "speaking out will inevitably trigger death...... Like what's going to be home soon...... After this battle, I went back to my hometown and got married...... My wife and son are still waiting for me to have a reunion dinner...... And so on and so forth.

It's a pity...... By the time Sasa realized this, it was too late.

The next day, on September 9 of the old calendar, Takeda Harunobu held a military meeting in Kaizu Castle.

Takeda Harunobu was on the main seat, looking forward to life, and all the generals knelt under him, which made Harunobu feel very good.

"The Uesugi Army of Tsuma-Daughter Mountain, how is it now?"

"Returning to the Lord...... The Uesugi army was still as steady as Mount Tai, and there was no intention of withdrawing to Echigo. ”

"Soga, it's really difficult."

Harunobu sighed from the bottom of his heart, the reason why he asked about the situation of the Uesugi army was because Yamamoto Kansuke had just planned N sabotage activities after South Vietnam, and it was reasonable that the Uesugi army at this moment should be fluctuating in people's hearts and minds.

But Kansuke Yamamoto's "steady as Mount Tai" made him lose his temper.

"Since August, the two armies have been facing each other for half a month, and although we have the advantage in strength, there is no way to take the Uesugi army...... Do you have a good plan to help me defeat the enemy? ”

"I thought that our army was superior to the Uesugi army in terms of strength and military disposition, and if we were afraid of Huihu's strategy and did not take the main attack, we would be laughed at by the retainers, and we should take the initiative to attack the enemy...... Moreover, the Uesugi army has been stationed at Mt. Tsume-a for nearly a month, and the soldiers have run out of food, so they should fight quickly and boost their morale before they resupply! ”

As a leading scholar, Nobuyhiro Takeda was the first to express his opinion.

Subsequently, many generals immediately followed:

"I think the Warden has a point!"

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

…… More than half of the retainers echoed Nobushige's opinion and advocated an immediate attack on the Uesugi army.

"Hmm...... What Xin Fan said also makes sense. ”

Harunobu Takeda finally nodded, but thought of another person in his heart.

Although Kansuke Yamamoto is a cripple, he is not weaker than most of the generals of the Takeda clan in terms of martial arts and governing the people, and his military law and castle-building skills are at the forefront of the generals of the Takeda family. “

"Chop the chicken, what do you think?"

"Hah...... In the past two days, I was surveying the terrain in the vicinity, and I met an experienced old witch, who said that there would be heavy fog tonight. ”

"Huh?"

Harunobu was puzzled for a while, could it be that Kansuke's plan had something to do with tonight's fog?
