Chapter 81: The Storm of Nine Continents (2)

Ace's means of persuading Tachibana Soshige are very simple, nothing more than two points - coercion and inducement, and it is still easy for Ace to deal with this ignorant "child" with the experience of the two lives. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the two sides reached a consensus, it was not made public, in order to be able to take down the Pu Song family reasonably, and the messenger of the Pu Song family came in a few days, which was really a cheap pick, which made Ace start to doubt, is there really such a thing as the protagonist's halo?

After receiving the Pu Song family, he naturally wanted to be rewarded according to his merits, and first assigned Hirado Castle to Pu Song Town as a fief, and other retainers also had other rewards, but among them, several "great heroes" such as Nishi Mutian Zhenfeng, Tian Xue Ship Species, and Chengfu Maoan were taken by Ace.

Why are they said to be great heroes? Because they are the ones who strongly advise Pu Song Zhenxin to submit to the Tachibana family, how can Ace not look at them differently!!

Looking at them, Ace unconsciously remembered a person - Lu Zijing.

Ace whispered in Tachibana Somo's ear, Tachibana Somo glanced at Ace in surprise, and then cut down these people who were happy because their dreams were about to come true in front of everyone, and then gave a large reward to those who disagreed.

"I'll just say, how can there be any protagonist aura, but it's the human heart that is doing weird!"

Now that the Shimazu family is left in Jiuzhou, the "ally" force, it is really not appropriate to move him immediately, and after a series of battles, it is indeed time to rest for a while.

Three months later, Mao Aiqi launched a surprise attack and took the Tachibana family's Tachibana Mountain Castle, and the Tachibana family did not confront it head-on, but used counter-raid methods to bite off part of the Northern Higo Kingdom, so that the Tachibana family bordered the territory of the Shimazu family.

It's just that Ace and Tachibana Soshige's secrecy measures are very good, and the situation is inherently ever-changing, the Shimazu family didn't doubt it, but thought it was an opportunity.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the question of Shimazu Hisataki, the head of the Shimazu family, as the successor, is very nerve-wracking, but don't get me wrong, other family heads are worried about the failure of their children and grandchildren, and Shimazu Hisaki is distressed because the four children are too good to know who to choose.

The four brothers of the Shimazu family are: Yoshihisa, Hirohisa, Suijiu, and Iehisa.

Shimazu Ishinsai once commented on his four grandsons, the eldest grandson Shimazu Yoshihisa has the talent and virtue to become the general of the three continents, the second grandson Shimazu Hirohisa is outstanding in his martial arts and heroism, the third grandson Shimazu is unmatched in the wisdom of the powerful relationship, and the fourth grandson Shimazu Iehisa is familiar with the subtlety of military law and tactics.

It stands to reason that the election of Shimazu Yoshihisa under such an evaluation is a very "good" decision, but Naiya's "evaluation" and defeat are also "evaluations", and "the general of the three continents" is too small for the current Shimazu family!!

Some things cannot be just thought, but must be proved by facts.

Shimazu Hisaki made Shimazu Yoshihisa the "acting head of the family" and handed over the matter of dealing with the Tachibana family to him, which was regarded as his last test.

Shimazu Yoshihisa chose the Yashiro region as the battlefield, using the old tactics - the tactics of the fishing no, like this kind of ambush pocket formation naturally could not deceive Tachibana Muneshige, when Tachibana Muneshige planned to eat their decoy troops, Shimazu Yoshihisa saw the clues from the deployment of Tachibana Muneshige's army, and decisively suggested that Shimazu Yoshihisa give up the operation.

The losses on both sides of the battle were not large, but because of the retreat of the Shimazu family, the morale of the Tachibana family was boosted.

Seeing that the morale was available, Tachibana Muneshige took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Sashiki Castle, but unfortunately under the stubborn resistance of Shimazu Iehisa, the Tachibana family could not be captured for a long time, and the morale declined again, and the three were exhausted, and Tachibana Muneshige had to retreat.

Shimazu Hirohisa gritted his teeth and selected three hundred soldiers to pursue, although only a dozen people came back in the end, but the results were huge, and nearly thirty percent of the kills were completed by Shimazu Hirohisa, and his heroic talent was verified again.

Tachibana Soshige suffered such a big loss, so he sent his anger to Sakamoto Castle, and in the face of Tachibana Soshige's death order, the soldiers of the Tachibana family completely abandoned life and death, plus there were no too good generals in Sakamoto Castle, and Sakamoto Castle was soon captured.

Although there is no way to resurrect the dead soldiers, they can only be regarded as not suffering losses because they have grabbed the territory, lost the east, and harvested the mulberry elm.

On the surface, the Shimazu family took a big advantage, after all, as long as there were enough troops, the lost territory could be regained, but this incident left an unknown hidden danger for the Shimazu family.

"National teacher, why did you want me to suppress Shimazu Yoshihisa with all my might, but in the face of his brothers, I have to send my battle merits?"

This time the military operation Tachibana Muneshige was completed beautifully, and Ace personally went to Kumamoto Castle to praise him, and took the opportunity of the banquet to ask his own questions.

"Zong Mao! You have learned tactics on the battlefield for so many years, but in fact, you also have to talk about strategy outside the battlefield. ”

"Outside the battlefield, do you mean a combination of vertical and horizontal?"

"Those are just the basics!" said Ace, taking a sip of his wine, "I ask you, how do you take a city with impregnable walls and copper walls to pay the least damage?"

Tachibana Somao thought for a while and said, "Since the defense is so powerful, it is natural to pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, and lead the enemy outside the city to engage in field warfare!"

"Hehe, you also know that you have to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, don't the other party know?"

"National Teacher, I don't dare to agree with what you say!" "Tachibana Zongmao said arrogantly, "I don't know how others are, but since I, Zongmao, dare to say such things, then I have the certainty of luring the enemy out of the city!!"

Ace was stunned for a moment, glanced at Tachibana Somo with appreciation, and said, "I really didn't see the wrong person! I'm glad you have such confidence." ”

The banquet continued, and Ace did not hit Tachibana Soshige, but only gave him some reasonable opinions and suggestions. Ace asked himself, these "experiences" of his are all stolen by others, and he is very good in the other world, but he was just a nerd in his previous life, and he really has no qualifications to be proud in front of these people who have this real talent.

At the end of the banquet, Ace never answered that question directly, and only left a sentence for Tachibana Soshige: The strongest fortress is often breached from the inside!!

"Inside, if you have such a strong defense, how do you get inside?"

The current Tachibana Somao can't fully understand this sentence, but in the future, he will make great contributions to the Mao family because of Ace's words, but those are all things after Ace left.

The Shimazu family was also having a banquet, and after the banquet was over, Shimazu Hisaka's brows immediately furrowed.

In the previous war, Iejiu had a meritorious role in defending the city, and Hirohisa pursued the enemy and attacked, and the words of the old man were not reflected at the time, but now in hindsight, he did reduce his own losses - undoubtedly meritorious, only Yoshihisa's prosaic was unremarkable.

It would be forgivable to say that he, as the acting head of the family, did not have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, but when Hirohisa was chasing the enemy, Yoshihisa was in Sashiki Castle, not to mention going with him, even if you ordered Hirohisa to go, or you "mentioned a few words" in this regard......, it would be good!

"There is more than enough righteousness for a long time, but there is not enough progress!!"

And now there are only three forces in Jiuzhou, and the last thing they need is the "Shoucheng" figure.

"And judging from what happened this time, Hongjiu, this kid, actually chased him out without consulting anyone, if the situation at that time belonged to the 'opportunity not to be missed', it's okay, I'm afraid-"

The four brothers are all very good, and the excellent people are ambitious! In the past, the Shimazu family had a small territory, and there was not much difference between being the head of the family and being a retainer for the brothers, but now that the territory is bigger, Shimazu Hisaka has to consider "other" factors.

The Tachibana family and the Shimazu family re-established the defensive line, and Tachibana Muneshige, under the signal of Ace, constantly sent small forces to harass the border, and the Shimazu family generally forced it back with bows and arrows, and occasionally sent some people to fight or fight alone, which was considered to be a training army.

If you are poor, you will think about change.

The Tachibana family has been able to persist until now, all thanks to the solid confidence accumulated by their ancestors from generation to generation, coupled with the inexplicable surrender of the Pu Song family, which made them breathe. The Shimazu family is different, the family history of the Shimazu family can be described as "step-by-step", first choose the target, and then accumulate enough strength to compete with it before starting a war, so that although the development is slow, but after the war can quickly get the support of the local people, so that other forces do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to profit.

Now that the Tachibana family has suffered a great change, Tachibana Muneshige was able to reform the military system and come up with a set of policies for separating soldiers and peasants, but the Shimazu family could not! First, the common people had become accustomed to the previous system, and a rash change was likely to arouse public indignation; second, the output of farmland in the area under the jurisdiction of the Shimazu family was not high in the first place, and if the number of peasants was reduced, it would be a very headache to eat in the future.

"Father, are you still worried about the affairs of the Tachibana family?"

Shimazu Hisaka opened his eyes suddenly, only to realize that he was so engrossed in his thinking that he didn't even know when there were more people in the room.

"It's Hirohisa, is there anything wrong with finding a father?"

"Father, I've been thinking lately, the Mao family's recent actions are very suspicious, and the Tachibana family has a separation of soldiers and farmers, and when they recover next year, our Shimazu family will not be an opponent!"

Shimazu Hisaki drank tea slowly, he would be surprised if his son couldn't see this problem, and now that he took the initiative to bring it up, he must have thought of some good way!

"We can't compare with the number of standing troops, then we can only compare with technology. ”

"Science and technology?"

"The meaning of this technology is--, let me tell you this! Our Shimazu family's firecracker, not because of the high cost and low hit rate, has always been used as a last resort, but now I have a way to increase the hit rate in a short period of time, and it will definitely surprise the Tachibana family!"

"Really?"

"Uh-huh!!"

Shimazu Hisaka was overjoyed and said, "Come on." ”

"Father, here's how it works............ I also named it 'Ape Cry', what do you think?"

"Well, that's good," Shimazu Hisaki muttered, "But your number of firecrackers is too small, I'll give you another three hundred, all of them will be tested by newcomers, if the hit rate of these more than three hundred people is very good, then it will not be difficult to defeat the Tachibana family!"
