After giving all the elders and important ministers present a dismissal, Imagawa Yoshimoto revisited the strategy he had come up with in his mind with great satisfaction.

However, it was precisely because of his distraction that he didn't notice at all that Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was sitting at the end of the gate, had a hint of determination in his eyes.

As the lord of the Mikawa Country, the supreme leader of the Matsudaira Party, and the biological only son of Mrs. Yu, how could Matsudaira Motoyasu not know about the covenant between the Matsudaira Party of the Mikawa Country and Wang Tianxie!

Maeda Toshiya, who came as a hostage from Owari Province, was sitting in the secret room in this main hall at this moment, gritting his teeth and eavesdropping on Imagawa Yoshimoto's high talk.

"First of all, Okazaki Castle is about to become a battlefield, and here will be garrisoned by a thousand ashigaru led by Anhara Motokei." Imagawa Yoshimoto thought about it and said to everyone.

His tone was very understated, as if telling the fact that Okazaki Castle was the residence of Matsudaira Motoyasu.

As for Matsudaira Motoyasu, he continued to play his turtle qualities, nodding and smiling.

"Secondly, Hotta Yoshihisa, in addition to your own family horses, I will allocate another 2,000 ashigaru to you, and you will lead 4,000 ashigaru to be responsible for monitoring all the positions of Ikei carp and Imaoka in places such as Mokawa and Kariya." Yoshimoto Imagawa continued.

"The main hall, according to the news from the ninjas, we don't need to be so cautious at all." Regarding Imagawa Yoshimoto's order, Hotta Yoshihisa, who was sitting on the upper seat on the left, had a different opinion.

"Huh? What the? Don't need it? The Oda family's Sosuke is a well-known rioter, a big fool, a fox horse, and an adventurous madman. Against such a guy, you dare to tell me that you don't need it? Imagawa Yoshimoto's large urn body trembled, shaking out a wave.

Imagawa Yoshimoto was originally a somewhat neurotic guy, otherwise he would not have dressed up as a minister as a samurai. After he finished roaring at Hotta Yoshihisa, not only the big urn's body was trembling, but even his thin eyebrows jumped and jumped.

"Great Hall, please listen to the next word first. According to the news from the ninjas, the Oda family has not left the country at all and is not ready to fight our side, and this information is absolutely accurate. Hotta Yoshihisa, who knew Imagawa Yoshimoto's character well, first bowed down to the other party and confessed, and then began to explain.

"According to the information sent back by the ninja and Hosasaku, Owari Province has no intention of sending troops to meet us, and they are now desperate to prepare for the defense of the cage castle!" Yoshihisa Hotta continued to explain to Yoshimoto Imagawa, a white-faced urn.

"What? You say they're preparing for the cage city? What is the evidence? Imagawa Yoshimoto asked curiously.

"Yes, there is a priest named Kinoshita Toyoshiro in the imperial chef of Cheongju Castle, who is now asking around, hurriedly buying miso, salt, and ingredients. This guy had even come to the western region of the Three Rivers Country to buy supplies. Among the merchants who traded with him were the ninjas and the ...... we sent."

Hotta Yoshihisa lowered his head and told Imagawa Yoshimoto in great detail about the information sent back by his ninjas. It was also this information that made Hotta Yoshihisa have different opinions about Imagawa Yoshimoto's cautious approach.

"Yoshihisa, you idiot, you don't make judgments based on that alone, do you? If that's the case, you're going to go ahead and follow the plan I just had planned. However, Imagawa Yoshimoto, a neurotic guy, was not satisfied with Hotta Yoshihisa's explanation.

"The Great Hall, about this...... In the long photo of the Pelican Hall in Dagao City, there are also relevant reports coming back. As for Oda Kamisuke's decision to hold on to Cage Castle, it is absolutely accurate information. Imagawa Yoshimoto just scolded Hotta Yoshihisa, and Miura Utaro, who was sitting next to Hotta Yoshihisa, also opened his mouth to report to Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"Oh, there's a report coming back? Let's hear it. After listening to Miura Utaro's words, Imagawa Yoshimoto asked curiously again. He really didn't think that the big fool who has always acted in a hurry, without thinking through his brain, would do this.

"Yes, as you know, Oda Uegami has set up the front lines in Tange, Zenshoji Temple, Nakajima, Mt. Marune, and Mt. Washizu. However, the distribution of forces in these cities did not increase because of the advance of our army. Miura Utaro began to recount the information he had received.

"What? No increase? Are you sure? "Imagawa Yoshimoto Daqi, this is too unreliable, right? Does that big fool know that he is invincible and intends to surrender?

"The Great Hall, sure, very certain, very certain, super definitive, one million and two hundred thousand times super-certain! According to the information brought back by Hosaku, that Oda Kamisuke went to Tsushima Shrine every day to dance. Miura Utaro confirmed five times in a row, and he heard that the white-faced urn was full of black lines.

"The ninjas we sent out overheard the chatting of the generals of Cheongju Castle, saying that the general manager was only concerned with dancing, singing, and playing the flute, and it is said that until the 14th, not even a military meeting was held."

Miura Utaro didn't notice at all that his lord was staring at him with black lines, still telling information that he couldn't even believe at the beginning.

"Oh, singing, dancing, playing the flute? That's good, that's how our ministers should be. It would be even better if there were still waka! Well, but how could those civilians understand the essence of waka! Imagawa Yoshimoto was deeply attracted by the first half of Miura's Utaro and couldn't help but admire.

"Oh, I can't see that guy who is called a big stupid melon, it's quite elegant. Well, if he also likes the joy of chrysanthemums, so much the better. Okay, I must capture him alive, I must take him as my subordinate, and we will study and discuss it carefully! The white-faced urn continued to talk to himself.

Oh, I'm damn, you don't bring this to the hall, this is not the point at all, the point is that that guy has no idea of holding a military meeting at all! Miura Utaro was speechless for a moment, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart.

However, it is no wonder that Imagawa Yoshimoto is distracted.

He has always flaunted himself with the behavior of the ministers, and he admires the actions of the ministers very much. Now the violent overage pseudo-Lori dances, sings, and plays the flute all day long, which is exactly what the ministers do every day, and it suddenly makes him feel as if he has met a confidant.

In addition, in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, it is super common to raise a few little Zhengtai to discuss the joy of chrysanthemums together. Therefore, Imagawa Yoshimoto's blood suddenly boiled.

"What about youbi? Read out the book on the armament of the general forces. Imagawa Yoshimoto finally recovered from his delusions, and ordered Yubi, who was in charge of all documents and intelligence records, to report on the deployment of the forces of the violent overage pseudo-Lori.

According to the information collected by the ninjas, the violent overage pseudo-Lori placed the defensive line in Tange, Zenshoji Temple, Nakajima, Marune Mountain, and Mt. Washizu.

Tange Castle, 20 towns away from Narumi Castle, was entrusted to Mizuno Tadamitsu, Yamaguchi Umi, Zhezhi Genbotou, Maki Yojuro, Sojuro, and Captain Banjuzaemon, leading 200 Ashigaru.

Zenshoji Castle, east of Tange Castle, was garrisoned by Sakuma Nobumori and Sakuma Nobutsun, leading 200 ashigaru men.

Nakajima Castle was headed by Kajigawa Kazuhide, who led 180 Ashigaru.

Marune Mountain Castle on the other side of the Kurosue River was entrusted to Sakuma University and led 400 ashigaru people.

Washizu Yamajo Castle was defended by Oda Nobunpei, who led 350 Ashigaru.

From the 16th, no one in the two cities could leave smoothly and go to the country of the three rivers.

These five castles formed a long line of defense, which not only severed the connection between Narumi Castle and Ōtaka Castle, but also severed the connection between the two castles and the army of Imagawa Yoshimoto.

However, the information received on the 15th showed that the distribution of troops in these five cities did not increase by even one person.

"Well, it really hasn't increased. Full Strength ...... Oh, only 1,330! After listening to Yubi's report, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly felt a little excited.

"Huh? No, the report that the ninja came back that year said that the head of the mountain, led 1,800 people, ran to Zhengde Temple to meet the poisonous snake. As if he had suddenly remembered something, Imagawa Yoshimoto began to talk to himself again.

"Oh, I see, this information of yours is fake! Absolutely fake! When he smoothed out his train of thought, he finally found that he had felt tangled questions from just now, and then clapped his palms and shouted.

Maeda Toshiya, who was hiding in the secret room while eavesdropping, and waving a brush at the same time, heard Imagawa Yoshimoto's words, and suddenly his heart "popped".

"Huh?"

Sitting on the right side of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the head of the Imagawa family, the old Taiyuan Xuesai, suddenly frowned and listened.

Fortunately, Wang Tianxie once called Matsudaira Komasita and Takenaka Masanta to front of him, and analyzed to them the most famous elders and important ministers of the Imagawa family in his memories of his previous life.

With Wang Tianxie's guidance, Matsudaira Motoyasu has always ranked the threat of Taiyuan Xuezhai ahead of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Especially when he came to Imagawa's house, he worked with Taiyuan Xuezhai step by step.

Therefore, Taiyuan Xuezhai frowned, and Matsudaira Motoyasu immediately found a reason to ask the other party for advice.

Imagawa Yoshimoto can rely on his father-in-law status and not give Matsudaira Motoyasu face, but Taiyuan Xuezhai can't help it. When Matsudaira Motoyasu, the puppet lord of the Three Rivers Kingdom, asked for advice, Taiyuan Xuezhai answered the other party's question very politely.

When he saw that he had completely divided Taiyuan Xuezhai's heart, Matsudaira Motoyasu secretly exhaled.

In case it is discovered by Imagawa Yoshimoto, the people of the Oda family are hidden in this main hall, and this Mikawa country is bound to change hands!

This is also another reason why Matsudaira Motoyasu worships Wang Tianxi.

Wang Tianxie and violent overage pseudo-Lori, these two people, really treat him as a younger brother.

Poor little Zhengtai didn't know that Wang Tianxie was just planting seeds in his heart in order to spread joy and make a stepping stone for the desire of the violent overage pseudo-Lori in the future.

However, Wang Tianxie did treat him and Shota Komasanti equally, the two of them learned exactly the same things, and the things they played were similar. Coupled with the violent overage pseudo-Lori who really regards him as a younger brother, Matsudaira Motoyasu can be said to miss his life back then!
