After Soji Tsugawa returned to Tsugawa Castle with his army, he held an evaluation meeting with Hiroie Yoshikawa and Hisaharu Mizutani, who had been waiting for a long time, in the castle tower.

"Before I talk about things, I want to introduce you to someone" After everyone sat down, Soji Tsugawa took the lead in speaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Takahashi Koki, the eldest son of Takahashi Kokoku, the head of the Takahashi family in Hirakashi County," Tsugawa Soji pointed at Takahashi Koke and said to Yoshikawa Hiroya and others, "Now that the Takahashi family has belonged to the main family, the Takahashi Koke family has also assumed the position of the flag leader of His Royal Highness. ”

"Huh"

"Takahashi Xingjia. This is the general of the family, Lord Yoshikawa Hiroke of Iwatani Castle. The courage is extraordinary, and you can talk to him when you have time. Soji Tsugawa introduced to Takahashi Koke.

"Hey, please ask Yoshikawa-sama for a lot of advice." Takahashi Koke hurriedly said to Yoshikawa Hiroka.

"En" Yoshikawa Hiroke nodded, revealing an approving look. "It's a good seedling"

"This is the general of the family, Kamiyama Castle and Osawa Castle Mizutani Kuji." Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Hey! I've seen Mizutani-sama. Takahashi Xingjia hurriedly said.

"No need to be polite, we will be companions in the future," Mizutani said humbly.

Seeing that several people knew each other, Tsugawa Soji nodded and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Originally, His Royal Highness planned to return to the army after destroying the Tanaka family and the Matsumoto family. But now the war between the Onodera family and the Tozawa family has suddenly broken out, and His Royal Highness has to return to the army. ”

"What do you think of the current situation?"

Mizutani Hisaharu heard that Tsugawa Soji was asking about himself and the others, and hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, this battle between the Tozawa family and the Onodera family has affected the entire Senhoku Prefecture. Both sides have gathered their allies to fight, and the total strength has exceeded 2,000 troops. And the family must also take action in the future, otherwise wait for the war to end. The two forces must not have much kindness towards the wait-and-see family."

"So, for the sake of the future of my family. His Highness now has to decide whether or not the family wants to participate in this war, and if so, which side will he join," Mizutani Hisaharu said slowly.

"What Mizutani-sama said is exactly what His Majesty wants to say." Yoshikawa Hiroke said, "Now that the two sides are in a big war, there is no time to take care of anything else. The main family may be able to take the opportunity to attack the Ryohei family and the Nagano family. "For the last time, I was about to send troops to the Lianghei family to avenge my younger brother, but the Dongxiang family suddenly asked for help, so that the family gave up the plan to send troops. Yoshikawa Hiroka, who had always regretted this, saw such a good opportunity and immediately proposed a plan to Tsugawa Soji to attack the Ryohei family again.

Soji Tsugawa closed his eyes, and he was also fighting in his heart.

"Newspaper!! The head of the Rokugo family, Lord Rokugo Katsutake, sent someone to deliver a letter. Outside the castle tower, a footlight voice came.

Kuroda Iekane went out at the signal of Soharu Tsugawa and brought the letter.

Then, Soji Tsugawa took the letter from Kuroda Iekane's hand, opened it and began to read it. After a long time, Tsugawa Soji closed the letter and said slowly, "His Royal Highness has decided. Join the combined army of the Rokugo family and the Onodera family. ”

"Hi" Several people in the hall hurriedly responded.

"Yoshikawa-sama, now tell me about the situation of the Ryohei family and the Nagano family, and the situation of the ashigaru who can be mobilized."

"Hi" Yoshikawa Hiroke said excitedly as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "The Nagano family has joined the combined army of the Hondo family, and the head of the Nagano family, Nagano Masahei, sent his son Nagano Masabo to join the Hondo family with a force of 100 people. ”

"Now, according to Nagano Castle, Nagano Castle expects to mobilize about 100 Ashigaru. The branch city of Dataka Castle is guarded by Kawakami Tadakei, and there is an army of about 150 people. Hiroke Yoshikawa replied.

"What about the Ryohei family? What is the situation of Ryohei's troops? Soji Tsugawa continued to ask.

"After the Ryohei family lost the Great High City, they collapsed. Now it is barely able to mobilize about 150 peasant soldiers. ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case." Hiroya Yoshikawa. ”

"Your Majesty is here" Yoshikawa Hiroya saw Tsugawa Soji calling himself, and hurriedly replied excitedly.

"How many troops can Iwatani Castle mobilize?"

"Back to the lord, there are currently 30 standing ashigaru people in Iwatani Castle and 50 people in the Taidao team. It can mobilize about 150 peasants and soldiers. Therefore, Iwatani Castle was able to mobilize an army of about 230 people. Hiroke Yoshikawa replied.

"Okay, since you want to take revenge, then you can lead the army in Iwatani Castle and attack Ryohei Castle. How is it? Soji Tsugawa said to Hiroya Yoshikawa.

Yoshikawa Hiroshi was overjoyed, knelt down and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

Then, Soji Tsugawa turned his head and shouted, "Kuji Mizutani! How many troops can be dispatched from Osawa City? ”

"Back to the lord, there are 20 standing ashigaru people in Daze City, and about 160 peasant soldiers. Kamiyama Castle has 30 standing ashigaru men and about 200 peasants and soldiers who can be mobilized. In addition, 200 displaced people who have been resettled in the vicinity of the Kusaki River have been selected to start training. ”

"The homeless people of the grass and trees are not moving for the time being. The strength of Osawa Castle and Kamiyama Castle is enough," said Soji Tsugawa.

"You immediately return to Daze City, integrate the forces of Daze City and Shangshan City, and prepare to attack Dagao City."

"Hi," Kuji Mizutani said exclaimed.

Soji Tsugawa looked at Hiroshi Yoshikawa and Hisaharu Mizutani and said, "Now that the Tozawa family and the Onodera family are competing, it is the opportunity of this family. In addition, with the reinforcement request of the Liuxiang family, the division is even more famous! In this operation, only success is allowed, and no defeat is allowed. ”

"Hi"

Seeing that the two of them had no objections, Tsugawa Soji nodded and continued: "The Nagano family doesn't have many troops in Nagano Castle. However, if you want to go to the rear, you can either cross the Kakugyu River from outside Ryohei Castle or bypass Mt. Hinachi. His Royal Highness decided to personally lead the Ashigaru in Hagimoto and Tsugawa Castle to attack Nagano Castle. ”

"After you two have taken the city, stand by where you are. Do your best to appease the peasants and inspect the city. Make no mistake! ”

"Hi"

Soji Tsugawa waved his hand: "Let's start preparing, start attacking early every morning!" ”

"Huh"

Hisaharu Mizutani and Hiroke Yoshikawa took orders one after another. Soji Tsugawa said to the Kuroda family and Takahashi Koke in the hall. "Mabei, don't you want to be a pioneer? Your Highness gives you this opportunity."

"Thank you, lord!" Kuroda Iekane said excitedly, as long as there is a fight for him!

"You take 200 Ashigaru to take the first step tomorrow and choose a place to build a bridge in the section of the river between Iwatani Castle and Ryohei Castle on the Kakujian River. His Highness arrived with the banner and the army. Soji Tsugawa said to Kuroda Iekane.

"The subordinates promise to complete the mission!" Kuroda Iekane replied affirmatively.

"Let's go down and prepare."

"Hi" Kuroda took the order and left.

"Takahashi Xingjia, you go to Kakuyama Castle, explain the news of your family's dispatch to the army to Lord Saigo or Lord Saigo Wood, and then ask them to prepare weapons, materials, and money and food! Go now! Soharu Tsugawa said.

"Hi"

Looking at the back of Takahashi Xing's departing family, Tsugawa Soji clenched his hands. "The battle for the rise of the Tsugawa family is coming, as long as you seize this opportunity, then the take-off of the Tsugawa family will be unstoppable."

"Xiaolan, who hasn't seen me for a few days, is missing a little in my heart, so let's go and see it first. Oh yes, and Yukihime, I want Her Highness to go down and comfort me! Oh, it's so annoying........" Soji Tsukawa, who was still serious just now, instantly revealed his true colors as a man.......
