Morning. The valley under the adoptive father's city was covered with the camp tents of the Han army.

Adoptive father in the city. Ouchi's guards are dressed in armor and armed with weapons. At the top of the castle tower, there is a banner with the character "Han".

Danma is a country, and it has become Danma County.

Inside the castle tower. Wu Nian sat on the main seat wearing a dragon robe and an official hat, and below him were Wang Gui and Zhang Cai, who were wearing armor and sitting on a small bench.

"The widow has sent someone to Kyoto and asked Cheng Yulian to send a county commander over."

"Because of the troubled times of the Warring States, the castles of the daimyo were either built on the mountain or on the main road where the soldiers would fight. Since it is a Han city, of course it must be built on flat ground. ”

"But before the county seat was built. Adoptive Father City and Stone City still have defensive roles and are retained. And left two thousand soldiers to defend. The rest of the castles in Tajima will be demolished. ”

Wu Nian said.

"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Cai responded respectfully.

The role of the castle is defensive, but relative. It also takes a lot of troops to defend the castle. The Han army had limited troops, so it was enough to defend the two cities and fight each other.

That is, at present, the Han army only occupies Danma militarily.

It will take a long time to truly integrate all the manpower, food and other resources of Danma into the Han system.

We'll talk about that later.

The most urgent thing at the moment is to conquer the city.

Conquer first, then operate.

Wu Nian picked up the map next to him, stepped down from the main seat, and sat down in the center of the room. Wang Gui and Zhang Cai glanced at each other, and carried a small bench to Wu Nian's side.

Three people sit in a zigzag with a map on the floor.

Wu Nian pointed to the map and said, "But the horse has already arrived." However, the horse is also bordered by the Kyoto Plain, so the Terashima family and the Koizumi family still retain a certain strength for defense. ”

"But the kingdoms after the horse must be empty in defense."

"Now there are eleven more countries in the west. There has to be a priority. Now we divide our forces into three ways. Attack Inaba, Misaku, and Bizen respectively. In this way, together with the land of the Kyoto Plain, Harima Province was almost surrounded. ”

"After conquering the Three Kingdoms, follow the precedent of Tajima. Leaving two castles and two thousand households as strongholds to defend. The rest of the soldiers and horses were divided into two parts. One was personally commanded by me, and it confronted the Toyotomi army in Harima. ”

"The other continued westward and swept the remaining eight countries."

"If the plan goes well. And the widow had sixteen kingdoms. The western part of the state is all owned by the widows. ”

"And with so many territories, how many daimyo are there? How many of these daimyos, with their armies, are now following Toyotomi Daikichi, either at sea defense, or in Harima Province, besieging Isshiki Castle? ”

"Once they learned that the family was dead and lost their territory. It will definitely float in the hearts of the military. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Nian raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, and he was extremely sharp.

There are many shortcomings of feudalism.

Theoretically. The daimyo of Fuso are all retainers of Toyotomi Daikichi. And the retainers of the retainers are not their own retainers.

The daimyo who own their own territory, have lost their territory, and are they still willing to fight for Toyotomi Daikichi?

The Fusang Navy, which is currently confronting Li Tianbao at sea, is at least in the mood of the people, if not to say that it collapsed immediately.

On the Kyushu side, Li Tianbao has a chance.

Even if you put that aside. Wu Nian has obtained the territory of the Sixteen Kingdoms, as long as it is managed, collect talents for my use.

The grain produced in the territory can also be used by the Han army. The Han army is no longer alone, but has a solid foundation.

The situation suddenly improved.

Of course. Wu Nian also did not forget that his general Lu Liuliang who was trapped in Yishi City. When the time comes, this kid will have to be rescued.

You can't stop conquering the city.

Wang Gui and Zhang Cai nodded, and then the three of them discussed the details again. In the end, Wu Nian made a decision, and the soldiers were fast.

Today, he left the adoptive father's city and divided into three ways.

Capture the three kingdoms of Inaba, Misaku, and Bizen.

Wu Nian's entire intelligence network in Fusang, out of his own territory, is equivalent to a blind and deaf person, and the front is pitch black.

But his guess was not wrong.

The forces and preparations of the daimyo of Inhata, Misaku, and Bizen were inadequate.

The Han army captured Tajima Province, and the news of the demise of the Terashima family and the Koizumi family swept through the surrounding countries like a storm.

The daimyo retainers who stayed behind, or the daimyo himself, were all terrified.

Regardless of Isshiki City.

No matter what Lu Liuliang's fate is.

Toyotomi Daikichi's purpose was to suppress Wu Nian and then eliminate it. Now it can't be held back. The tiger is out of the cage and invincible.

............

Osaka Castle.

Night.

In autumn and winter, thunderstorms are rare. But today, for some reason, thunder roared in the sky above Osaka Castle.

Toyotomi Daikichi was awakened by the sound of thunder in his sleep, and then the urge to urinate came out again. On such a cold day, he didn't want to pee outside. So he asked the little surname to bring a night pot.

After comfortably putting out the water, Toyotomi Daikichi lay back in the quilt and planned to continue sleeping.

Although he was woken up by the sound of thunder, he was not afraid of it. As a hero who ended the troubled times, he crawled out of the pile of the dead.

Soon, Toyotomi Daikichi fell back asleep. A moment later, he woke up again.

"Da-da-da-da." Katakura Keizai barged in from the outside, ignoring etiquette, and said loudly, "Lord General." I'm sorry. I have something important to report. ”

"Something." Toyotomi Daikichi was woken up for the second time, originally a little annoyed, but after hearing Katakura Keiju's voice, he immediately suppressed his anger and sat up and asked. Then, a smile crossed his brow, and his imagination flickered.

Could it be that Wu sent troops to attack Harima Country in the middle of the year, wanting to save Lu Liuliang?

Even, the daimyo have already succeeded?

Was it the defeat of the Han army? Or did he kill Wu Nian?

Good, good.

Thinking of this, Toyotomi Daikichi couldn't help but tremble. He is not afraid of thunder, but he is also afraid.

He wasn't afraid of death.

But he was afraid of losing the power in his hands and was afraid of the destruction of the Toyotomi family.

Wu Nian landed in Fusang strongly, and although he coped with it calmly, he was also under a lot of pressure.

If we can win, I will be so happy.

Katakura Keishi took a deep breath and said quickly, "General." Wu Nian personally led the troops and horses to attack the kingdom of Tajima. ”

"What do you say? Wei Wei rescued Zhao ?!!!! Toyotomi Daikichi seemed to have been beaten with a dull stick, and while his brain was dizzy, he stood up and said in shock.

Encirclement and reinforcements.

It was a brilliant move. If Wu Nian led his troops to rescue Lu Liuliang in Yishi City, he would definitely lose his troops and even lose his troops, and even be defeated and killed.

If Wu Nian doesn't save the general, then it will chill the other generals of the Han army.

The only flaw is to save Zhao from Wei Wei.

Thinking of this, Toyotomi Daikichi hesitated. Wu Nian has already made a move, what should I do?

It's to send troops to save Tajima.

still quickly attacked Yishi City and killed Lu Liuliang. Let the morale of the Han army plummet?

After thinking about it for a long time, Toyotomi Daikichi made a decision, raised his head and said to Katakura Keiju: "Forget about the Koizumi family." But the Terashima family is strong. Terashima Masanori is known as the "Fox of Tajima". I believe he can hold on to his adoptive father's city. If the Han army can't break through the adoptive father city, it will be stuck. ”

"The order goes down. The great names of Harima Province did not move. Continue the siege of Isshiki Castle. ”

Keijuchi Katakura thinks the same way. Terashima is not trivial. There is a strong city in hand, and there is enough grain and grass, like a nail, firmly blocking Wu Nian's way.

Wu Nian wanted to surround Wei to save Zhao, but his efforts were in vain.
