"My lord, my subordinates believe that most of the current military strength of our family is sinking on the front line of Kai, and the Gaoshan Army has just advanced from Feida, and the family should attack Kaifei with all its strength at this time, even if we can't win the country of Kaifei before the Gaoshan Army attacks, the benefits will not be too small."

This time, without waiting for Ishikawa Shumasa to speak, Anayama Nobuyukin, who is also a wise man, spoke: "I'm afraid that Lord Takue is still in order to understand the intentions of the lord, and it is not the time to care about one city and one wall at all, but strategy, once the family fails to take Kai, then it is equivalent to being completely blocked by Takayama and Hojo in Junyuansan and part of Kai's territory, may I ask Takuzhi-sama Once the two families are surrounded, the best result of the family is to be trapped in this place forever, not only will there be no more development, but the family will not be able to develop, However, Takayama Hojo is growing, so the fate of the family is also in the hands of others, so Kai is the most important thing for the family.

In addition, the adults seem to have forgotten that the purpose of the Honko's place to encroach step by step, rather than attacking on a large scale, is not because he is worried about Hojo's assistance, otherwise with the current strength of the Takeda family, without Hojo's help, it can be eliminated in less than a month. If you attack now, all your previous efforts will be in vain. ”

After hearing this, everyone sighed silently in their hearts, it was obvious that what they said was right, it was not that they wanted to carry out the strategy so slowly, but that there was a last resort to do so, and there was an alliance with the Gao Shan family, and it also gave them time, although everyone knew in their hearts that such a covenant could not last too long, but it also came too quickly. If only I could give the Tokugawa family more time. If you cannibalize some of the land of the Kai Jade. Then when the Takayama family went out to the army, the main family suddenly exerted its strength, and it was still possible to capture Kai Kai when Hojo didn't have time to react, but now there is no such possibility at all.

"My lord... Subordinates are guilty. Just when everyone present was silent, the old minister of the family, Torii Motozhong, suddenly said such a sentence without a head.

Everyone didn't know why, but Tokugawa Ieyasu hurriedly asked, "What does Yuan Zhong mean by this?" ”

"The subordinates did not dare to question the strategic concept of the lord, but they had to say that the strategy designated by the family was fundamentally wrong." After saying this. He couldn't ask questions from Tokugawa Ieyasu and the other retainers present, so he continued: "Presumably, the lord and your lordships already have a good understanding of the surrounding situation, and the current strategy of the family is also clear to you, and you are looking for a way out by capturing Kai, but the question is whether you have ever thought about it, even after winning Kai, where is the way out?" To the north of Kai are Shinano and Ueno, Shinano is currently controlled by the Takayama family, and the main family has no chance, while Ueno is under the rule of the Hojo family. Whether or not Kai is captured, the family is still surrounded by Takayama and the Hojo family. And this pattern can't be broken at all, even if the family has more than Kai one country, but in terms of strength, it is still far inferior to Takayama and Hojo, so this strategy is a failure. ”

"Is Torii-sama a little alarmist, once the family wins Kai, then you can attack Ueno, although Ueno is also the land of the Hojo family, but the Hojo family's control of it is far less than Sagami, Musashi's, and although the Hojo family's army is strong, but it is relatively scattered, and it is inconvenient to assemble, once the family wins Kai, then with the speed of the family's army, it is completely possible to gain a firm foothold in Ueno before it reacts, and the family without worries, as long as it has a firm foothold in Ueno, and unite other forces in the Kanto region, In the battle with Hojo, the odds of winning the family are still very high, so I can't agree with the words of the adults. Yasumasa Kamihara, after hearing such a pessimistic analysis, he, as the main battle faction, had to speak back.

And he is not a person who is wise and brave, as soon as these words came out, most of the people present also felt reasonable, and their emotions obviously improved.

"Yes, yes, yes. Not only that, once the family captures Ueno, then not only will the family have a way out, but it can also in turn restrict the development of the Takayama family and block him in Feixin forever, haha, this idea is really wonderful. Honda Tadakatsu said excitedly.

When he finished speaking, Hiraiwa Qinyoshi turned the topic to the main topic again, and only heard him say: "What Lord Kamihara said is true, but now the Takayama clan is pressing step by step, and now the most important task of the family is to take the Kai one step ahead of him, and only by winning the Kai can these later strategies be carried out." ”

"The subordinates thought of a way, although under the high pressure of the Gao Shan family, it is impossible to take all the Kai, but due to the terrain, in addition to the current route of the Gao Shan Army, if it attacks the Kai, then it must be from west to east, which gives the family a chance.

It is not the purpose of the family to take Kai, the purpose is to find a way out, so the family can wait for the Takayama family to attract enough Takeda troops, and the family will take advantage of its unpreparedness to attack Kai's Turu County, which is not the focus of the Takeda family's defense, so it is not surprising that a battle can be obtained, as long as the county is in his hands, then it is equivalent to opening the road to Ueno, even if the other three counties of Kai all fall under the control of the Takayama family, it is also acceptable. I wonder what the lord thinks? "Ishikawa Shumasa finally thought of a way, the previous family's requirements were a little high, so it will cause the current result, and if you can give up some of the benefits, then the way out problem is still easier to solve, and he thinks that this method is the best choice for the family.

Tokugawa Ieyasu really didn't want to give up the other three counties of Kai, especially Yamanashi County and Yatsushiro County, but these two counties were nothing compared to the rise and fall of the family, especially now that time waits for no one, he can't help but make a decision as soon as possible, so after pondering for a while, he only heard him speak: "This plan is great, just act like this, the ninja army pays close attention to the movements of the Takayama family..."

"Ahh The lord is slow, and his subordinates think that Torii-sama's concerns are reasonable. Anayama Shinjun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, startling everyone present.

But he didn't care about this, so he hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have all forgotten one of the most important things, I don't know if you still remember, at the beginning of the year, the Oda family reformed the army system, and what was the task of the Oda Hall to the Takayama clan, which was to take all the eight countries of Kanto, and send someone to tell the family to cooperate with Lord Takayama, that is to say, at that time, the Oda Hall had already made arrangements for the Kanto region, even if Lord Takayama ceded Kai to the family, then Ueno and other eight countries of the Kanto region would never be touched by the family, Otherwise, I'm afraid that even the Oda Hall will blame the family for this, so whether or not to take Kai, the family still has no way out. ”

After hearing these words, a calm Tokugawa Ieyasu could no longer sit still, only to see him suddenly stand up and roar loudly: "Oda Nobunaga may have had such a plan a long time ago!" Once..."He wanted to continue to say that once the Takayama clan captured the Kanto region, it would be the day of the destruction of the family, and he must not sit idly by, but he couldn't say the latter sentence anyway.

But even so, most of the retainers have already guessed what the lord is going to say, and they all feel a chill in the back of their heads, after all, the situation is different from ten years ago, the Oda family was not very strong back then, and the main family used to set the strategy of co-governance between the east and the west, but now the Oda family is strong enough, and whether there is a family or not does not affect its strategy of the world's martial arts, so that kicking the family away is by no means alarmist. Against the Oda family? Not to mention doing this, it's something you can't even think about.

But they really misunderstood Oda Nobunaga, although the Oda family does not need the Tokugawa family now, but as long as Tokugawa Ieyasu has been honestly looking forward to the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga will not be so ruthless, after all, the world is so big, and it is not a big deal to give the Tokugawa family some life.

Although Oda Nobunaga did not have such thoughts, it did not mean that the Takayama clan did not have such thoughts, but he wanted to trap the Tokugawa family to death all the time.

And for the Tokugawa family, whether it is Oda Nobunaga's idea or the Takayama clan's idea, it has become a foregone conclusion to be trapped in Junyuansan anyway, even if Ueno is defeated through Toriru-gun, it will have to be obediently returned to the Takayama clan at that time, and Oda Nobunaga's decision is not tolerated by the Tokugawa family's provocation.

With such thoughts, the assessment room was suddenly miserable, and sighs kept coming from the mouths of the retainers.

The only one who still has the spirit is Anayama Nobuyo-kun, what he said just now just made everyone present recognize the situation, so that they would no longer have any doubts about his next words, as for the idea that the Oda family wants to deal with the family in the lord's heart, he does not agree, what is the strength of the Oda family now, and what is the strength of the family? If he really wants to destroy the family, will he need to spend so much effort, besides, Oda Nobunaga's character he knows a little bit, this person will never complicate the problem, no matter what he does, he will use the simplest way to achieve the goal, so he can now conclude that all this should be just a coincidence.

Sure enough, after achieving his goal, he only heard him speak: "The lord wants to solve the current predicament, and his subordinates have another way." ”

"Tell me, what the hell are you thinking!" When Tokugawa Ieyasu heard that there was still a turning point, he didn't care about his identity, so he asked hurriedly.

"The only way out for the family now is to follow the example of the Asai family and ask for a transfer to another place, and the subordinates think that once the lord proposes it, then the Oda Hall will definitely not refuse."

"This..."Tokugawa Ieyasu hesitated a little, after all, Mikawa is the birthplace of the Tokugawa family, if he abandons it like this, how should he face his ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs in the future? And at present, the Tokugawa family can be regarded as a big family, and it is not so simple to want to move. (To be continued.) )
