"This family can borrow from the idle family inside, and there is no need to attack it for the time being." Tomohisa Oishi interjected at this time.

"No, even if the other party agrees to the borrowing of the family, but no one can determine whether the inner idle family is sincere, once the other party secretly colludes with the Higo coalition to attack the family before and after, in the absence of ships to respond, the family will be besieged on the west bank of the Kikuchi River, and fall into a confrontation with the Higo coalition army. In the absence of enough ships to ensure that supplies from the east coast can be transported across the shore to supply, the longer the delay will be, the more disadvantageous it will be for the family. Isono objected. Obviously, he was not very supportive of the method of entering Heshi County through Yamamoto County.

"Then let's just lay down the village city in the inner idle family first." Yuancheng Temple Xinyin said simply.

"Let's wait for the lord to decide." Isono said.

"Hmm." Masarashi nodded. Judging from the current situation, the general's side is obviously advocating to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then expand the results of the battle, and even take Hezhi County in one fell swoop.

"Two military advisors, what do you think?" After listening to the general's opinion, he naturally had to listen to the two military advisors, so Masara looked at Shinnosuke Akabane and Kansuke Yamamoto, who had been silent before.

"My lord, my lord thinks that my family should take full control of Kikuchi County first." Shinnosuke Akabane spoke first.

"The lord, the minister seconded!" Kansuke Yamamoto on the side also agreed.

"Oh? Can you tell me more about the reason? Zhengliang immediately said when he heard this.

"My lord, although the family has driven the Higo coalition forces from Kikuchi County to Heshi County on the other side of the river, don't forget. The Kikuchi-gun family still has a lot of enemies at present. Kansuke Yamamoto said as he leaned over and saluted.

"At present, the biggest enemy in front of the family is the Kikuchi family's Ofu Castle and the Sape Return Castle of the Obu family." Kansuke Yamamoto continued. "Judging from the previous situation. The Kikuchi family has betrayed the family, and in order to let the rest of the people in the territory know the fate of betraying the family, the Kikuchi family must be punished. In addition, according to the information of the Honke Detective, after the defeat of the Higo Coalition Army, the Kin-in-law did not lead the rout to follow the main force of the Higo Coalition Army across the river, but returned to the ape and returned to the city, and it seems that they are preparing to engage in a cage battle with the Hon. These are the two biggest hidden dangers in Kikuchi County. ”

"In addition. Lord, although the general trend of the family occupying Kikuchi County has been unstoppable, there are still many small wealthy families and small lands in Kikuchi County, and so far they have not expressed their surrender to the family, and these small wealthy families and small lands must also be disposed of. At this time, Shinnosuke Akabane also interjected, "Also, in the eastern mountains of Kikuchi County, there are several local aboriginal tribes there, and if they are instigated by someone with a heart, it will also become a trouble to drag down the family's advance." ”

"Besides. Although the family has won consecutive battles in the past month, it is inevitable that there will be some injuries in the army's strength at this time. His Majesty thought that at this time, he should make every effort to eliminate the hidden dangers in Kikuchi County, and at the same time, he should also seek an opportunity to let his army rest for a while to maintain its combat effectiveness. Shinnosuke Akabane continued.

"Because the army's march is too rapid, and from Chikugo through Yamaga County to Kikuchi County need to pass through a relatively rugged and difficult mountain road, which also brings difficulties to the logistics supply of the family, although the family in Yamaga County and Kikuchi County captured a lot of materials, but this is not a long-term solution after all, plus at this time, the main strength of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs is concentrated in the reception of the newly occupied territory, and it is impossible to provide more support for the logistics of the family, It was the retainers who thought that they should focus their family's efforts on marching into the Kikuchi Prefecture first. Kansuke Yamamoto analyzed again.

"My lord, it is the end of March at this time, and the rainy season of April will soon begin. Previously, His Majesty had heard that the lord had asserted that there would be a typhoon in the rainy season this year, and at this time the family's territory had been fully prepared, but once it entered the rainy season in April, if it entered the typhoon season again, then the power of the family's firearms would probably not be able to be brought into play. Shinnosuke Akabane said later.

"Hmmm! There is a point in that. Masato finally made a decision. In fact, this is also the idea of the political conscience. Of course, he didn't want everything to be his word, and even if he analyzed it, his retainers might not all be convinced. But if he let the rest of the retainers speak out, and then he pretends to have just come to his senses, and then gives his full support to the retainers, then he will be supported by the retainers, and the internal resistance to stopping the march will be much lower.

"Now that we've decided to take down Kikuchi County first, do you think the family should start marching from there?" Masarashi immediately introduced the topic into the strategy of Kikuchi County.

"At present, the biggest threat to the family is the return of the Abu family ape in the eastern part of Kikuchi County, and the Kikuchi family palace in the southeast of Kikuchi County, which controls the passage from Aso County to Kikuchi County, and the ministers think that these two cities should be taken first." Shinnosuke Akabane advised.

"Judging from the current intelligence, due to the successive attacks on the family, most of the soldiers of the Obe family have been scattered, so the guards of the ape returning to the city of the Obe family are the weakest at this time. As for the Kikuchi family's castle, there has been no movement since the secret army was sent to attack the village of the Guanpo ninja in the nearby mountains. At this time, he is making a strict defense. Kansuke Yamamoto said.

When talking about the Kikuchi family, Masarashi couldn't help but feel ridiculous for Kikuchi Yoshitake's original idea of trying to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. It is estimated that he never expected that the duel between the Higo coalition army and the Luo family's army in Kikuchi County would be decided so quickly, right? At this time, it is estimated that after learning that the Luo family's combat strength has not suffered too much loss, Kikuchi Yoshitake has already hid in the city and shivered.

Then again, in fact, Zhengliang still has to thank Xie Kikuchi Yoshiwu for his help to the Luo family in the past. It was with his help that the Luo family easily caught Arima Qingchun, thus mastering the initiative of the Southern Fertilizer Expedition. With his secret help, the Luo family would be able to infiltrate the power of the Fei Hou so easily. It was because of him that the civil strife in the central and northern parts of Higo was continuous, which greatly weakened the strength of the wealthy families and the local aborigines, so that the Luo family did not encounter too much resistance when marching to Higo. Perhaps Masahiro should award him an award for outstanding contributions.

It's just that Kikuchi Yoshitake's judgment ability has never been very good, and under the general trend that the Luo family will definitely become the main fat queen, he actually plays tricks with the Luo family. It's time for Yoshitake Kikuchi to pay for it. (To be continued......)
