Chapter 71: Separation of Soldiers and Peasants
In the last battle of Toishikawa, Mao Aiqi's army defeated the elite troops of Changzong and my department, and in desperation, Changzong and my department could only retreat to Gangfeng Castle with the remnants of the defeated army, and Ace was not willing to let go of this good opportunity?
With this victory, the morale of Mao Aiqi's army was high, and under the leadership of Mao Aiqi's pioneers, everyone took Gangfeng City with the momentum of wind and clouds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Gangfeng City was broken, and Changzong and my Yuan fled to Xiangzong City with dozens of people, but Ace considered that courage was a big deal, and then it was declining, and it was exhausted, so he didn't send troops to pursue it.
After Ace took the time to take Hado Castle by peaceful means, ChosΕ Ibu Yuan came to surrender with Chomune Ibu Taiwa gifts.
These two brothers are talents, and what Ace lacks now is such talents, so he asked Mao Aiqi to receive them as VIPs, and the result was naturally very happy.
During the banquet, Ace once asked: "My minister, you can ask the Miyoshi family for help, why do you think of surrendering?"
Changzong replied: "Adults are young, but the way of using soldiers is beyond my reach! My Changzong family is limited by the poor geographical location, it has always been difficult to really grow, and it has been the efforts of several generations to be able to take down Higashitosa, even if I can tide over the difficulties this time, I am afraid that it will be destroyed by the Miyoshi family in the near future......!
Changzong and my department Yuan sighed and just poured wine, but fortunately, Changzong and my department Tai stopped his brother in time, and Ace thought about it, if he was a good Jiuxiu, in the face of such a good opportunity, after eliminating himself, he would definitely not mind destroying the Changzong family.
"Don't worry!" Ace comforted, "The family master will definitely keep his promise and let you continue to have the name of the Changzong family." β
Changzong and my department Tai saw that his brother was a little out of shape, so he said for him: "Lord Xie!"
This is the difference between an "adult" and a "head of the family".
After the dismissal, Ace and Mao Aiqi reunited to discuss how to deal with the war that followed, and after the two brothers of the Changzong family returned to Xiangzong City, they also "discussed!!
"Big brother, why did you change your mind temporarily?"
"Why? Shouldn't I do this!?" Changzong and my Yuan were furious, "Think about it yourself what kind of advice you made!!If you want me to join Mao Aiqi's army, you want me to be a retainer for him, where do you put the name of my Changzong family?"
"Big brother-!" Changzong and my Tai tone softened, "What do you want me to say to understand, if you join the Mao family as a retainer, we will be one with them, and we will be a family......"
Changzong and my department hurriedly interrupted and said, "What a family! I and you are a family!"
"Forget it," Changzong and his Tai sighed, "Since I can't convince you, then I can only live according to my own ideas! β
"You stop for me!!" Changzong and my brother pointed to the younger brother who turned around, "You dare to step out of this door today, from now on, I will only think that I have never had a brother like you!!"
"Big Brother !!!"
Changzong and my department paused for three seconds, and after shouting this heart-rending sentence, he resolutely stepped out of the door, left Xiangzong City, and ran towards Gangfeng City overnight.
"Silly brother!" Changzong and my Yuan shed tears, "You can't convince me, how can I convince you! I'm afraid this is the best way, in the end, no matter which of us succeeds, I will be content with the successors of the Changzong family." β
........................
Back to the topic, the matter discussed by Ace and Mao Aiqi is very important, because when Ace took over Pudo City, Changzong and my department had already sent a letter of request for help to the other two families, and it is doubtful why they surrendered!!
These things, which were not discussed yesterday and have to be brought to fruition, must continue today.
"Did you say that the Kono family took Yuzuki Castle?"
"Probably not!"
Mao Aiqi didn't know that his compliment was really right, so he thought for a while and explained: "Kono Naoto must have been stupidly frightened by your stepfather's clever plan! Didn't you say that this is called an 'empty city plan'? Based on your previous performance, now that Tang Zhucheng is so empty, they will definitely not dare to attack casually." β
"You kid, although I know you're slapping my ass, but good words still sound quite comfortable. β
Smiling, Ace regained his seriousness, tapped his fingers on the map on the table, pondered for a long time before saying: "If you don't worry about winning in everything, you will lose first! Suppose they will immediately wave their troops to kill Higashitosa after receiving the news, and they will not be able to resist it at all with our current troops." β
"Report! Changzong and my department ask to see you. β
Ace gave up his throne to Mao Aiqi, stood aside and said, "Let him in." β
"Changzong and my department Tai, I have seen the head of the family!" said Changzong and my department Tai knelt down on one knee.
Ace didn't react, Mao Aiqi plucked his ears, and said in disbelief: "I'm Butai, what do you mean?"
Changzong and my Tai fell to the ground on his knees, and said with a bow: "My subordinates and my Tai sincerely join the Mao family, and beg the head of the family to take !! in."
Mao Aiqi hurriedly looked at Ace, Ace also heard some clues and replied to Mao Aiqi's look, Mao Aiqi felt a little relieved, and said: "I'm a Tai, this, sit down and talk slowly! I can't ask for this matter, but as soon as you came, it caught me off guard, hehe." β
"It's the subordinates who are reckless!"
Mao Aiqi gave Changzong a seat to my department, and seeing the sweat stains left on his face, he was served tea to him, and said: "The tea of your four countries has a different flavor! You see that you drink it slowly, not in a hurry, can you tell me what happened?"
"Wait-," Ace seemed to catch something, "what did you just say?"
"Me?" Mao Aiqi was taken aback, "I said ......"
"Haha, I know how to deal with the coalition forces of the three families!!"
After making a plan, the next step is to prepare for war, and considering the actual situation of Shikoku, Nagamune and Ibu Tai put forward a suggestion according to Ace's method of gathering troops: those who own the land of Mimachi must prepare a pair of armor for each household, and Rokumachi will prepare two sets of armor...... In peacetime, he worked as a farmer to make a living, but in wartime he had to put on armor and go into battle.
This method -- oh, this is called "one leader in military uniform" in the words of Chozong Ibu Tai -- is indeed better than the "separation of soldiers and peasants" envisioned by Ace, especially in the poor region of Shikoku, where it would be a problem to eat after the peasants were reduced.
However, this matter is left to Mao Aiqi to carry out in the future, and what he has to think about now is how to overcome the current difficulties!!
Since it is a home battle, if a small force attacks Ace is not afraid at all, and crush it with a numerical advantage! If a large army attacks, then he can only rely on the geographical advantage to win!
