Chapter 604: The First World War That Changed History (5)
It was still overcast. On such a dark night, the Takarajo Castle of Chikugo Province in Kyushu was lit with torches everywhere at this time.
In the humble council hall, several torches were burning enthusiastically. But there was silence in the chamber. The retainers sitting in the council hall were waiting eagerly for the head of the house to speak.
Zhengliang glanced at the people in the council hall, paused for a moment, and then spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the lord of the country did not immediately carry out a sneak attack on the enemy formation, presumably everyone here must be puzzled in their hearts, right?"
After everyone heard the words of the head of the family, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the head of the family. Obviously, their current expressions are equivalent to affirming Zhengliang's question.
"It's just that you can think about it carefully, even you think that our family will launch a night attack on them overnight while the enemy formation is not firmly established, so will the main general of the enemy formation have the same idea?" Without waiting for everyone to answer his question clearly, Masara asked again.
As soon as Zhengliang's words came out, they immediately aroused the contemplation of the generals. Especially Kinoshita Masanao, I saw him immediately lower his head, frowning and thinking. Zhengliang's words obviously triggered him to think more. He can be called the first in his family in terms of force and resourcefulness, and he obviously quickly understood the meaning of Masaliang's words. Of course, not all the people in the council hall are smart people like Kinoshita Masanao, but the ones like the executive are the generals who only know how to fight hard according to Masashita's orders, and the new generals such as Takasaka Masanobu are still a little immature and can't immediately understand the meaning of Masashita, so Masashi immediately made it clear the true purpose of these words.
"The army of this family is especially good at field warfare, and it is also good at night attacks. This is the characteristic of the military situation of the family. Presumably these. Both the family and the enemy are very clear. That's why. If the family really goes to the sneak attack tonight. Haven't you thought that the enemy formation is likely to be ready to deal with it? Masaro continued.
"Besides, is this attack on the lord of the country an unintentional conspiracy of the enemy position?" When Masarashi said this, he obviously touched Yamamoto Kansuke's sore ribs, and I saw him bow his head a little ashamed, and there was a look of unwillingness hidden in his eyes.
In fact, no matter how comforting Zhengliang was, it highlighted the incompetence of the intelligence departments such as Black Hawk and Detective when the family governor was ambushed. At this time, Kansuke Yamamoto was not the one-eyed military advisor of the Takeda family who was dominant in history, he had just started his career. Therefore, he is still a little young in practical affairs, and he will inevitably experience some setbacks. It's just that after this setback, he has begun to grow. Of course, even so, he still has his own persistence and dignity, so the more Zhengliang defends him, the more ashamed he actually feels in his heart. That's why he finally has the expression that is completely inconsistent with his nearly forty years old.
"No, obviously not all, at least they are already familiar with some of the characteristics of their own family, and even some of the characteristics of their own lord (they like to charge into battle), so they have a conspiracy against their own lord." At this time, Masashi was concentrating on his remarks to his retainers. So he didn't notice Kansuke Yamamoto's strange expression, so he immediately asked and answered himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen. The ancient language of the Ming Kingdom is virtual, and the virtual is real. We must ensure that the enemy position does not see our strategy clearly. Also, remember, don't underestimate the world! Masahiro concluded later. After experiencing this ambush, Masato also began to reflect on himself. Now that I think about it, many of his previous achievements were just relying on a sense of the big picture and knowledge from his previous life, which was higher than the enemy. But really don't underestimate the wisdom of the world, otherwise you will really fall behind.
Of course, in addition to this reason, there are actually other calculations in the political conscience. According to his next plan, if he carried out a night attack at this time, because the amount of water emitted in the air after the rain was too large, this would obviously be unfavorable to his next plan. So he had to wait until the second half of the night, when the moisture in the air had greatly decreased, before he could start his action in earnest.
Warfare is nothing more than paying attention to the right time, the right place, and the right people. Looking at the expressions of the retainers in the council hall, it is clear that "harmony" has done it. As for the "geographical advantage", due to the occupation of the fortress of Gaoliang City, at least before sunrise tomorrow (before sunrise, the Luo family is still in an active position, once the alliance of the Otomo family and the Ouchi family comes to attack after sunrise, due to the obvious disadvantage of the troops, and the territory defense range is too large, the elite army of the Luo family will be nailed to Gaoliang City and be in a passive position. And once in a passive position, then the Luo family will only be beaten passively, so in order to strive for the greatest interests, Zhengliang must take the risk of taking the initiative tonight), for the Luo family, it can be said that it can be attacked and retreated. The last "time" depends on the fact that there is no explicit statement in front of you. Of course, for the sake of secrecy (although a curfew had been imposed within a mile of Takarajo, Masara had to be more cautious after the previous attack), this reason was obviously not appropriate to say at this time.
I looked at all the retainers again, and found that all of them spontaneously began to ponder, and no matter how deep they thought, they were already more or less inspired. From the beginning of Masaara's fortune as the lord of a small village, until now the Luo family has become one of the best overlords in Kyushu, in fact, it has only gone through seven or eight years, so compared to other heroes, the Luo family is new, and its retainers are also new.
In terms of age alone, in fact, in the current Luo family retainers, only Togo Heiji and Yamamoto Kansuke are forty years old, and most of the rest of the retainers are in their twenties, and there are even young generals such as Nabeshima Naoshige, Kamiya Sozhan , Shimazu Yoshihiro , Kawada Yoshiro , Honda Masanobu who are not yet in the process of being cultivated, and even the governor himself is only in his twenties. Such a young retainer group, such a young family governor, has the advantage of being very enterprising, but the disadvantage is that he lacks experience, so Zhengliang must use every opportunity to transform and cultivate the retainer group. Of course, in the process of cultivating and transforming, he also established his absolute prestige. Mastering a family, on the one hand, is through the bundling of interests and the supervision and support of the system, and on the other hand, it is also through the various charms of the family governor himself, so Zhengliang is cultivating his retainers on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also cultivating himself.
Masarashi also understood that the purpose of these words had been achieved, so he interrupted everyone's contemplation, turned his head to look at Togo Heiji who was under him, and asked:
"Heiji, are you ready?"
"It's ready, but the nearby people are complaining!" Togo Heiji immediately replied.
"This is a key part of our family's victory, and even if it causes dissatisfaction among the people, it must be carried out." Masara said. If the most precious property in the eyes of the people is moved, the people will naturally complain. It's just that now for the sake of war, then there is only the cost at all costs. Although Masato is revered by the people as a "benevolent lord", in the eyes of Masayo, there is absolutely no "stupid mercy".
