It has been six days since the Jimbo army besieged Matsukura Castle and attacked it for many days.

On the eighth day of the siege, that is, on the morning of the seventh day of the siege, the old island of the family made a suggestion to the governor of the family:

"Matsukura Castle is quite strong, and it is difficult to rush down, so it is better to cut off the Shiina clan strongholds outside Matsukura Castle one by one, and cut off all foreign aid in the Echichu Territory, so that Shiina Yasuyin no longer has any extravagant thoughts."

The eyebrows of the chief of the god pun moved, but he did not immediately make a judgment, but looked at the newcomer he relied on a lot, Wenjing Jinglong.

Onkai Keitaka was originally a retainer of the Hatakeyama clan in Noto Province, but just a few years ago, the Hatakeyama clan exiled the Onkai clan, and Keitaka came to the Jimbo family with his father, and with his outstanding courage and insight, he was very liked by the chief of the jimbo.

Jing Long's tightly pursed lips loosened, and his beard moved:

"It's not the right thing to do."

"Oh? Why not. ”

Shenbao Changzhi also has considerations in his heart, and at this moment, he sees that Wenjing Jinglong dares to argue with the old island of the Bitou family, and he looks forward to more in his heart.

"Before we arrived at Matsukura Castle, we had already discovered that the Shiina clan's stronghold outside Matsukura Castle was gone! The Shiina clan had already shrunk all their forces inside the castle and were ready to hold on to it. Although it is not easy for the army of Echigo to come, we must not be unguarded, so we should hurry up and attack the castle and strive to take Matsukura Castle as soon as possible, so that we can rest easy. ”

Seeing that Onkai Jingtaka turned a blind eye to Yuzu's partial division, Kojima Zhizhen was a little angry, and he retorted:

"Could it be that Lord Onkai thinks that the troops of Uozu are not the men of the Shiina clan? Matsukura Castle has been in operation for a hundred years by the Shiina clan, so how can it be won with the phrase 'take it as soon as possible'? If this is the case, I said that I would take Kasuga Mountain Castle as soon as possible, I wonder if our army can march forward and triumph all the way? ”

Wen Jing Jing smiled:

"The one in Yuzu is the Gongzhuang people who are fertile and prosperous in Gongzhuang City, and they are not the people of the Shiina clan, could it be that the island lord was bitten by a snake and was afraid of the well rope for ten years?"

Such an almost naked revelation of the scar, regardless of whether Wenjing Jinglong deliberately satirized or not, is already rude.

What's more, Kojima Zhizhen is the head of the family, even if he does something wrong, only the family governor can scold him.

Sure enough, Kojima was angry, and asked in a loud voice:

"You want to attack the city as soon as possible, but in the six days since the siege of the city, how can our army not use strength? If you can't attack it in these six days, can you be sure that you can attack it in another six days? Even if we can attack it, our army will suffer heavy losses, how will we deal with the invasion of the Uesugi family? How to raise the Kaga Ichijo clan and the Hida clan who are eyeing each other? ”

Wen Jing Jinglong was good-tempered, not only did he not refute, but he also smiled:

"I know Kojima-sama must not have finished speaking, so please continue."

"Since it is difficult to get out of the city in a hurry, it is better to uproot the Yuzu first. I've already sent someone to guard it, but I don't know my son, and the Uesugi family doesn't even want to pass through one person or one ride! As long as our army annihilates the Bow Sho people and cuts off the reinforcements of the Uesugi family, Matsukura Castle will be just a trapped beast in a cage. ”

This analysis penetrated into it, and the chief of the divine protection also nodded again and again, but Wenjing Jinglong shook his head.

"Oh? Jinglong, what do you think? ”

"Kojima-sama has a point, but I'm afraid I've forgotten a little."

"Nani?"

"It was 8 days ago that the Gong Zhuangzhong went to Yujin, do you think the Gong Zhuangzhong will still stay there? If he hadn't infiltrated Hida this time, I'm afraid he would be hiding in the shadows, watching the flaws of our army. ”

Kojima wanted to refute it without paying attention, but after listening to it, he also felt that there was some truth, and he couldn't help asking:

"If so, what?"

"The Gongzhuang people are only four or five hundred people, even if our army sends a large army to search, it will not help, it is better to step up the siege of the city, if the Gongzhuang people sneak into Hida, it will be fine, if they still plan to participate in this battle...... Will appear to rescue Matsukura Castle! At that time, our army will be able to wipe out the last support army of the Shiina clan without much effort! ”

After some explanation, their lord god protector showed a sudden expression.

But Keitaka apparently hasn't convinced Kojima yet.

"It's hard to believe your assumptions! You said that the Gong Zhuang people hid, and they hid? The more China leads to Vietnam, there are two water and land routes, and the relatives on the land route do not know that they have been sealed by me, if the Uesugi army comes from the sea, how do you deal with it? Only by obtaining Uozu and controlling this port can we truly stop the Uesugi clan's reinforcements! ”

Wen Jinglong's face became a little ugly, maybe it was really as Kojima expected, he didn't think of this?

"Is Lord Kojima really naïve to think that your twenty people can keep your relatives and children? The Uesugi family is extremely powerful, if Uesugi Huihu ignores the casualties, he is afraid that he will lose his hands in less than half a day! If they come by water, Uozu will definitely not be able to hold it, and since they can't hold it, it is better to concentrate their forces and attack Matsukura Castle. ”

The two quarreled fiercely, and gradually both blushed and had thick necks, and they almost opened their sleeves to fight.

Some people quarrel, and naturally there are people who are peacemakers.

And as the chief of the two co-lords, it is most suitable to be a peacemaker.

"Ahem...... "Ahem Changzhi cleared his throat, and he already made a judgment in his heart, "What you both said makes sense, in that case, I will send Shenbao Jueguang as the main general and Shenbao Zhang as the deputy, and lead 2,000 people to capture Yujin, if Yujin is empty, I will make Jueguang lead a thousand people back, and Ling's Zhang will lead a thousand people to guard." During this period, our army continued to attack the city and strive to break the city as soon as possible. Both of you are my trusted humerus ministers...... Just stop arguing. ”

Since the lord has already given the order, of course Kojima and Onkai must obey it.

It's just that in the end, the priesthood did not fully adopt anyone's suggestion, but took a compromise approach.

Later, Jueguang, the younger brother of the chief of the gods, led 2,000 troops to Uozu.

In the afternoon, the news came back that the Uozu was just an empty building, and there was no one in it.

In the evening, Kakuhiro Jimboh returned with a thousand men.

Kojima Zhizhen thought that the position of Yuzu was important and it was impossible for him to be given up by Gong Zhuangzhong, but at this moment, the facts were in front of him, and Kojima Zhizhen only felt that his face was hot and painful.

The pounce of the Shenbao Jueguang team announced the wrong judgment of Kojima Vocational Town, which really made Vocational Town lose face.

From the next day, the Jimbo army increased the number of troops used for the siege, and Matsukura Castle gradually showed fatigue.

Shiina Keinao waited every day for news from Sasa Narumasa, but never found any valuable information among the intercepted carrier pigeons, which made him anxious.

In this way, it was not until the night of the 25th, after the occupation of Uozu by the Jimbo Army, that the western sky was once again lit up with fire. (To be continued.) )
