"I don't know which country in Anyun County is the fierce general who led the troops with my senior brother? What is the situation in the city now? Gao Shisheng said politely, and then began to interrogate the details.

"With the poor monk together with the army is Otani Beizen Shou Zongzhi, but also the general of the white horse in the crowd, this time the troops, young and strong, miscellaneous soldiers can be called pouring out, now there are only some old and weak women and children left in the city, the poor monk is willing to go to Musashi Mamoru to recruit surrender, but there are many disciples of my Pure Land Shin Sect in the city, and please Musashi Mamoru can be lenient one or two, don't be taken and sold······" Lai Qing said this, spied a look, and saw that he was not displeased with his own words, so he had the courage to propose, "Of course, if your army is short of money and food, I will supervise them to donate enthusiastically." ”

While the two were talking, several people came down from the mountain and came to the front of the army.

Gao Shisheng looked and saw that the leader was Naito Mitsuhide, two or three mountains were pressing one person behind him, and the person who was detained was covered with blood, and he was very embarrassed, but the armor was well-armored, burly and strong, it was not Otani Sonao.

Mitsuhide Naito bowed down and said, "The villain was lucky enough to capture the enemy general Sonarao Ohtani and dedicated it to Mamoru Musashi!" ”

He had been a thief in Shinano for a long time, and he recognized the fugitive Otani Sonao at a glance, let go of the ordinary miscellaneous soldiers, and led people to use ropes and spears to capture this panicked samurai on the spot.

Gao Shisheng turned his head and looked Ohtani Zongzhi up and down again.

Otani Zongzhi was pressed by two mountain ambushes, knelt on the ground, raised his head in resentment, and glared angrily at Lai Qing Shimoma, if it weren't for the other party leading troops to beg to surrender, how could he be defeated and captured, and fighting back may not be able to fight a bloody way, retreat to the city and hold on.

Seeing that Gao Shisheng only looked at Otani Muenao but did not speak, Ono Tadaaki guessed his thoughts, and said in his heart, "Musashi Mamoru must be hesitating whether to recruit this person. ”

There are two benefits to recruiting Sonao Otani.

First, you can let the rebel families in Anyun County know that the Imagawa army is not an indiscriminate army, and as long as they are willing to surrender, they will have a way to live. The second is the battle on the bank of the Xichuan River, although Gao Shisheng can be called a complete victory, but the crowd that can go out of the battle was not completely annihilated, and more than 200 people who were originally left by Otani Zongzhi as the palace army in the end, after being defeated by Beizhuang Shengzhong, joined the other defeated soldiers and fled back to the mountain city.

Naito Mitsuhide has few soldiers, it is impossible to intercept them all, it is quite lucky to be able to capture Otani Sonao, these defeated soldiers who escaped are only a few hundred people, say not much, say a lot less, and meet the old and weak in the city, according to the words of the city, it is a troublesome matter, if you surrender Otani Sonao, there is a high probability that you can open the city without blood.

But then again, the disadvantages of recruiting the Otani sect are also obvious.

Otani Sonao is the general of the crowd in the city, not to mention that looking at him like this, it will be difficult to surrender willingly, in case it is a false obedience, and then launch a rebellion at the right time in the future, what can I do?

There are pros and cons to recruiting Otani Munenao, and with the current forces, it will definitely do more harm than good.

However, Asahina Shin put the commander in the back, and he would be able to arrive in a few days, and at that time, these more than 1,000 pieces of land were not only not a constraint, but could also be used as an ant-attached trench for the siege of the city, reducing the casualties of the headquarters.

Moreover, he saw with his own eyes the bravery of Otani Munao. If he has his help, he may not be able to take the Thousand Nations Castle before the arrival of the army led by Asahina Shinji.

Just as Gao Shisheng wanted to open his mouth and let Otani Sonao loosen his bonds, a person stepped out from both sides and said, "The poor monk has a discussion, and he will be with Musashi. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Tadaaki Ono.

Not only Gao Shisheng, but everyone around him was puzzled, and Lai Qingxin said, "This monk suddenly came out, I don't know what I want to say?" ”

Gao Shisheng seems to have the intention of surrendering Otani Zongzhi, and everyone can see that it is indeed a little inappropriate for Ono Tadaaki to come out to offer advice at this time, but after listening to Ono Tadaaki's proposal, everyone immediately understood why he would interrupt in advance.

"What's the point of fasting for a long time?"

Ono Tadashi Ming Ji first saluted, and then said, "The art of defeating the enemy is powerful. White Horse Fortified Castle, if it is not for the thief with a trick, dare to ask Musashi Shou to drive the army to attack, how long can it be down? ”

"This ······ is probably difficult to conquer the city." Gao Shisheng replied truthfully, if it weren't for the defenders in the city, it could be said that there would be no chance of breaking the city with just these 800 troops.

Ono Tadaaki replied, "In addition to the white horse, there are also a thousand other countries, the three castles of Kuroya and Zuo Togaku, or the terrain is steep, or the defense is complete, Hugh said that our army is a partial division, even if Tanba Shou led all the troops, it is difficult to say whether it can be defeated in one battle." If the plan offered by the poor monk is adopted by the Ming Gong, the remaining three cities may surrender without a fight. ”

The master was overjoyed and asked, "What is the plan?" ”

"The lord can kill the Otani Zongzhi, the people of the Beixin Hao clan in a hand, and the samurai in the army, the generations of the Lang Party, build a Beijing view under the city, and spread the Anyun County in various places, and clearly tell the Yu 'those who surround and then surrender will not be forgiven, and those who will defend the city will be blocked, and there will be a heavy reward', with thunderous means, shock their hearts, and then lure them with heavy profits, although the thieves are strong in the city, they are not enough to defend it!"

When everyone heard this, Otani Sect said angrily, "I am the main general, and it is okay to kill me alone!" How innocent the Chinese are! ”

Ono Tadaaki glanced at him, ignoring him as a defeated general, twisting the Buddha beads vigorously in his hand, gurgling.

Killings of prisoners after the war were rare, but they were not uncommon.

Ono Tadaaki's proposal is not all out of public intentions, in the past, the Takeda family plundered the army of the Changnian Temple in Ueno Province, there was a team led by Otani Sonao, and he also killed the junior brother who was guarding the temple with him, waiting for the end of the rebellion, after many years, the other party also turned against Takeda, maybe he didn't remember such a thing for a long time, but he didn't dare to forget such a blood feud.

He resented the Takeda family, but now he had no choice but to take revenge on this tiger in the mountains and forests of Koshin.

Moreover, the Imagawa army was not from Koshin, and there was no connection between them and these wealthy families, and there was no intricate in-law connection. Cut down all these samurai in one go, and they can also exchange them for a reward from the Takeda family, even if there is really something difficult to deal with, it is the Takeda family who will deal with these messes afterwards, at that time, Gao Shisheng has already led his troops back to Yuanjiang, and there is no future trouble.

On the other hand, it is precisely because there is no in-law relationship, but it is more difficult to ensure the loyalty after the surrender, in a certain case, the Warring States Troubled Times is the mutual fight between the in-laws of the martial arts, and according to the genealogy, it may mean that the ancestors of several generations ago are the same daimyo, and it has no relationship, which means that it cannot be trusted.

Kill all its collars, so that after annexing them, they can be used with confidence.

"This ······" Gao Shisheng hesitated, it was really a karma to hurt by doing so.

"Sun Ziyun 'Therefore, he went to the army to attack and plot, and then attacked the city, and then attacked the city.' This is the usual strategy of Takeda's diet, and the poor monk is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom! Ono Tadaaki spoke out to persuade him: "The so-called little benevolence is the thief of great benevolence!" This strategy of the poor monk is not to harm the people of Qianshou, but to save them from danger, the two armies are fighting, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, this battle alone our army killed and injured hundreds; The next day, the casualties caused by the siege of the city will only be more, and if you can exchange this level of this generation for the peace and joy of nearly 10,000 people, this is the real reward of immeasurable merit! ”

Lai Qing was dumbfounded, he never expected that the monk on the other side who talked eloquently dared to be in front of the public, not to avoid others, so he reversed black and white, wanted to speak out against it, and was afraid that it would implicate himself, and he wanted to speak several times, but he was frightened back by the murderous posture of everyone.

Gao Shisheng's military strategy is mostly on paper, but Sun Tzu knows the truth of the theory of the three soldiers

Siege is the last resort, why? The enemy has a city to hold, once the city is strong and the food is sufficient, the defenders are loyal and brave, the soldiers and the people are united, and if there are reinforcements from outside, it is often delayed, and even for several months and years can not go down, and those who are far away can see the Minowa Castle guarded by the Kamishu Yellow Spot Nagano Yezheng, the south resists Hojo, and the west resists Takeda, and the two strong Kanto clans of millions of stone are helpless, and there are three confrontations on Kawanakajima Island in the near future, which makes the veterans of the two armies and divisions tired.

This siege of Baima was a success, although it was a fluke. It is conceivable that after the Battle of Hakuma, the defenders of the remaining three castles will inevitably be tempted by the Imagawa army in every possible way, and they will not take half a step out of the castle even if they die.

If the siege of the city is exhausted, the soldiers can only win, which will not only consume food and straw, but also damage the soldiers. Moreover, the Imagawa army may not be able to really surround the mountain castle, not to mention, if the logistics and supplies cannot keep up, they may besiege the city for several months, and finally they can only return in vain.

Therefore, Ono Tadaaki's strategy of 'killing all the prisoners and besieging and surrendering will not be forgiven' was purely a strategy to attack the heart, and its purpose was to deter the defenders of the enemy city, so as to achieve the goal of 'surrendering the army without a fight'.

He asked for an order to slaughter all the samurai and Lang Dang from the Hokushin Hao clan, which seemed to be very slaughtering, but in fact, it could still be called 'mercy'.

It can be regarded as mercy to kill only the wealthy people, samurai, and Lang Dang who were born in Beixin, and to spare the rest of the thieves, such as the monks and soldiers of Lianshoji Temple, the Hida soldiers, and the largest number of ordinary people.

However, it has little to do with what he said, 'Xiao Ren is a thief of great benevolence', but in order to avoid the enemy army from hating the enemy and treating them differently, it is precisely for the purpose of dividing and winning them over, so that they will be suspicious of each other within themselves.

Prompting the cowardly and hesitant to lead the people to sacrifice the castle, thereby reducing the casualties of the enemy and the common people of Shinano, it can be said that the heads of a very small number of people were used to prevent more people from dying in a joint battle that could have been avoided.

He thought about it for a while, thinking that Ono Tadaaki's proposal to kill the prisoners would be good for the wounds, but it should be helpful for the next battle, and it would be beneficial to his own army to quickly conquer the entire county.

Therefore, although he admired the courage and unyielding of Otani Sonao, he was also able to put away his love for talents, and glanced at the other party with regret, and said, "After the death of the former guard, I should set up a high platform for the transcendent death of my feet, so as not to make it fall into the six realms of destruction." He also pointed to the Shinano samurai who knelt down in a row on the opposite side, and said in an indifferent tone: "You are vain samurai, it is disloyal to the master's house first, and it is unrighteous to beg for surrender again, what is the use of the disloyal and unrighteous people staying?" They will be beheaded together and given to the ghost who will open the way! ”

Otani was furious and shouted, "It's okay to kill me alone!" Kill me! "It was he who set up the Lord to fight, which caused a crushing defeat, and now I listen to Gao Shisheng's words to count the death of everyone on himself, so how can such karma be able to live and live.

The remaining 30 or so samurai, when they heard Ono Tadaaki's proposal to kill the prisoners, except for two or three people, all of them trembled, and they were unstable, and they hula, lying on their stomachs, crying for mercy, and the twisted soldiers beat several people with scabbards one after another, and blood broke from their mouths and noses, so they barely stopped the sound.

Originally, this group of Shinano samurai, seeing that Gao Shisheng was silent, was still lucky, and when he heard the bad news, he also followed with a bitter wail again, struggling hard, shouting and begging for mercy mixed together, making Shimoma Lai Qing's face pale, he never expected that it would be such a situation.

With Gao Shisheng's signal, the bannermen stepped forward and dragged these samurai down, and soon, their noisy cries disappeared one by one, and soon, the banners successively held the heads and presented them, including Otani Sonao, no more, no less, a full thirty-three heads.

Gao Shi Sheng ordered, "Among the captives, all those who are standing and light will be beheaded, and the receipt will be reported, and the matter will be reported to Chaobin Tanba and Oyamada Echizen." Then pass on the whole county of Anyun, the white horse of the simile is broken, and the Otani sect is directly awarded the head, and those who hinder our army will not be forgiven. ”

Everyone present received the order in unison, and then Ono Tadaaki and Oi Mori wrote military reports and letters respectively, and sent people to the other two armies and the townships of Anyun County.

When the military reports were delivered, Gao Shisheng seemed to remember that he had not yet taken down the white horse in front of him, and said to Lai Qing and kindly, "I also want to ask my senior brother to enter the city and persuade the defenders to surrender for me." ”

Lai Qing was speechless, took the head of Otani Zongzhi, and entered the city according to the order, and in less than half an hour, the defenders in the city opened the city and surrendered, and the defenders and people in the city knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

When I arrived outside the city today, I took down the white horse as soon as it was dusk. At this time, the main force of Asahina Shinoki had just entered the territory of Anyun County.

When Asahina received the good news from Gao Shisheng, he was amazed again and again, and said to the generals around him, "How fast! It's a pity that it's not done! ”

Nobuko Hamana, Tadahiro Uekawa, Kiyoshi Kamohara and others all thought that Ono Tadaaki's plan was very good, and the resistance in the next battle would be much less.

Nobukin Hamana said, "Shinshu County is mountainous, there are many cities, our army will attack, far from the city of White Horse, with a long-term fast this strategy, just to attack the enemy's heart, Weijia County, if you can make a hope of the wind to surrender, not only to spare the troops, but also to avoid the people from vain rebellion." ”
