Chapter 926: The Decisive Battle of Kanto (13)

After listening to this, Satake Yoshishi's eyes couldn't help but light up, as Okamoto Zenzhe said, his starting point from the beginning was wrong, he only thought about going out into the army, but he didn't think about what Takayama really needed, fortunately, there was a reminder, otherwise even if he eliminated Hitachi's Hojo army and sent an army to help Takayama attack the city, he would not be appreciated by the other party in the end.

Now that the puzzle has been solved, Satake Yoshishige is to put all his mind on Hitachi's Hojo Army, although what Wada Akiwei said also has a certain truth, but let him give up Hitaku now, he can't do it at all, after all, this time Takayama Lord can completely eliminate the Hojo family is still unknown, once he fails to eliminate Hojo, then he has no place to stay, so for him, to eliminate Hitachi Hojo Army must do.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Since the military advisor has already helped me solve my doubts, then please ask the military advisor to provide a strategy, after all, there are still 10,000 Hojo troops on the south side of Changlu, and it is not easy to defeat them completely." ”

Now that the lord has opened his mouth to inquire, Okamoto Zenzhe can't help but speak, just listen to him say: "My lord, it is not difficult to defeat the Hojo army of Hitachi, and now the army of this family has reached 23,000 people, once all of them are dispatched, with absolute superiority, the other party can not stop the advance of the family, whether it is a field battle or a cage castle, so that the other party can not only quickly defeat the enemy army, but also in the next battle to besiege Odawara Castle, the family can also achieve more credit." ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Satake Yoshishige hesitated a little, after all, in addition to the Hojo family, there are still a lot of strength in the north of the family, especially the Ashina family, although it has been repaired with the family for the time being, but he knows that the relationship between the two families is not very strong, if after he leads all the troops to leave, the Ashina family suddenly attacks, then he can easily win the 500,000 stone of Changlu, not to mention Ashina, even if it is a small force like Nikaido and Soma, after he leads the army to leave, He also has the ability to capture 500,000 stones in Changlu, which is 500,000 stones, and he doesn't believe that the other party is not moved.

Thinking of this, I only heard Satake Yoshishige speak: "Although the military advisor's plan can achieve the goal of quickly eliminating the Hitachi Hojo army, it ignores the forces such as Ashina and Nikaido, although the family has repaired with it, but this relationship is based on the premise that the family has enough strength, once the army of the family is all dispatched, then these forces will definitely not miss the opportunity to expand the territory." ”

"Lord, my subordinates don't think there is any need to worry, if the family did this before returning to the Gaoshan family, it would indeed be what the lord said, but now that the family is returning to the Gaoshan family, even if they are given another guts, they will never dare to take advantage of the situation. And after the lord went out of the army, he only needed to hang the banner of the Takayama family crest on the inner castle of his own family, and this alone was enough for them to seriously consider, at least until the Takayama family and the Hojo clan decided to win or lose, they would not take any action. ”

"Master Strategist, this time, although the Takayama family has the upper hand in the military situation, the Hojo family also has 80,000 elites, once the victory or defeat is unpredictable, let alone failure, even if the Takayama army is in a quagmire, the Ashina clan has enough reasons to send troops, how should the family deal with it at that time?" Although Okamoto Zenzhe's idea was similar to that of Wada Akiwei, the Mabe clan dared to be angry at Wada Akira, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful to the military advisor, so he still asked with an attitude of asking for advice.

And his questioning was only what Satake Yoshishige and the retainers present wanted to ask, after all, the decisive battle had not yet begun, everything was possible, and they really didn't know why the military advisor had such confidence in the Takayama family.

When everyone's eyes were focused, I saw Okamoto Zenzhe just smiled slightly, and then said: "Since Lord Makai wants to ask, then I will also ask your lord a question, may I ask your lordship, the Takayama clan has dominated the world for nearly 20 years, and if he personally goes out to fight, has he ever been defeated?" ”

The people who were waiting for Okamoto Zenzhe to answer, saw that the other party did not answer directly, but threw out a new question, and couldn't help but be stunned, but they still followed the other party's train of thought and began to recall, if it was placed before, the Satake family had not paid attention to the Takayama family at all, and they didn't know much about whether the other party had a precedent of defeat, but now it is different, especially after deciding to become a minister of the Takayama family, then it is impossible not to have an in-depth understanding of it, after all, if it is after becoming a minister of the Takayama family, even the family does not understand, That was a very embarrassing thing, so in the last year or two, they continued to collect information about the Takayama family, especially the old information that had rotted the streets, and all of them converged on Changlu, and after a few years of hard work, they finally knew everything about the Takayama family.

Therefore, it is not difficult for them to recall the past events of the Gao Shan family, but it is good not to think about it carefully, but after this careful recollection, the more they think about it, the more frightened they feel, because since the Gao Shan Clan Sect was born, whenever they come to the battlefield in person, there is really no defeat, if it is not for the fact that there is no problem with their origin, they all doubt whether this Gao Shan Clan Sect is the god of war.

And from their expressions, Okamoto Zenzhe had already received a satisfactory answer, so without waiting for them to speak, he listened to him continue: "I think you have also thought about it, yes, since the deeds of the Takayama clan have been rumored, no matter who the opponent is, he can achieve the final victory, what I want to say is not how elite Takayama-sama is, but I want to say that the other party's fortune has reached the level of rebellion, and the Oda family can have the prestige of today, and I think it is also with the help of Takayama-sama's fortune, otherwise, Please think about it, why Oda Nobunaga couldn't even unify Owari before he obtained the allegiance of the Takayama clan, and after his allegiance, anyone who wanted to oppose the Oda family would eventually be unable to escape the fate of death and defeat, Imagawa was like this, Takeda was like this, and even Kenshin Gong was like this, and he had been thinking about this problem before, but he couldn't explain it at all, and the only thing that could be explained was only luck, and he began to think that Takayama-sama had used the fortune of the Oda family. But considering that the development of the Oda family was after Takayama-sama's allegiance, it can only be thought that in the end it was the appearance of Takayama-sama that changed the outcome of the Oda family, and you don't know if you have found out, whenever Takayama-sama encounters a predicament, there will always be someone to help, this is the case in the strategy of Higashimino, and this is also the case in Mikawa, if no one appears at the right time, I'm afraid that Takayama-sama has fallen more than ten years ago, and this time, I hope that it is the Satake family who can become a nobleman. ”

After listening to this, the people present couldn't help but gasp, because in their consciousness, the Oda family has become inevitable to seize the world, and before Okamoto Zenzhe said this, they only thought that the Takayama clan could only become the first retainer of the Oda family at most, but now they have some wavering thoughts about such ideas, although the military advisor did not say it explicitly, but they can still hear the sound of his words, that is, the Takayama clan has a chance to seize the world, which is amazing, If it is the Oda clan that seizes the world, then it doesn't have much to do with the Satake family, after all, there is still the Takayama family in the middle, but if Takayama can seize the world, it will have a lot to do with the Satake family.

However, these things are unfounded, so such an idea only stays in the hearts of Satake Yoshishige and his retainers for a moment, and it can't arouse their attention at all, this time it is related to the survival of the Satake family, but it is not a sentence of luck that can change Satake Yoshishige's decision.

"Although what the military advisor said is good, but the luck is too illusory, this time the family has to gamble all their net worth, relying only on the other party's luck, it is really a bit dangerous." After thinking carefully, Yoshishige Satake spoke.

When his voice fell, Okamoto Zenzhe still said unhurriedly: "The lord is right, if this is the only one, his subordinates will not dare to take risks, but in addition, the Takayama family has won every battle in the previous ten years, and most of them have won more with less, and now after converging with Asai, Shibata and other forces, they have completely surpassed the Hojo family in terms of military strength, so how can they be defeated?" ”

"Lord Commander,There are different ideas in the bottom.,The reason why Takayama-sama is always able to win more with less.,I think it's because of its tactical flexibility.,And Takayama-sama has no experience in large-scale joint battles since he came out.,So even if it can win in the past.,This time it may not be able to win.,Look at the Hojo family.,Since the Hojo clan entrenched in Kanto,It's experienced countless large-scale joint battles.,So at this point,The Hojo family has plenty of experience.,Although it doesn't have an advantage in the military, But in terms of experience, it is far superior to the mountain army, so it is difficult to predict the victory or defeat. Although Kokan Yorihisa is mainly responsible for the internal affairs of the family, and it is generally not his turn to say much about going out to fight, but when he listened to Okamoto Zenzhe's words, he really couldn't help it, so he spoke.

"I don't think there is any need to consider this matter, although the Hojo family has rich experience in large-scale joint battles, but it is based on fighting more and fighting less, and on the basis of bullying the weak, and now the Takayama family has an advantage, and the Hojo family's previous experience is not used at all, and although the Hojo family is elite, but its subordinates are all foot soldiers, even if there is a cavalry, it has just been formed in recent years, and then look at the high mountains, each branch of the army has a certain scale, and it is far better than the Hojo in terms of flexibility, from this point of view, it can be said that the two are in the same position in terms of experience, and in terms of military strength, the Takayama Army is not only superior to the other party in terms of numbers, but also far superior to the other party in terms of troops, and in addition to the Takayama clan is not a mediocre person, and the retainers under its command are far beyond Hojo, if this can not achieve a joint victory, then the subordinates really have nothing to say. ”

"Father, the child believes that Takayama-sama will be able to achieve the final victory, so I ask my father to mobilize the army immediately." This time, Satake Yoshinobu will also complete the battle through this battle, after all, once Hojo is eliminated, he will marry the daughter of Takayama, and it would be ridiculous if he didn't even complete the battle by then, so this time he also attended this military meeting.

"What do you know, this is related to the survival of my family, how can I not take it seriously!" Satake Yoshishige was pale, and said to Yoshishige, although he was very satisfied with his son, but he felt that this son was not like himself at all in terms of personality, and he had to think about everything before he acted, but his son was completely opposite to himself, he always did it first and then said, and he thought about it while doing it, which was also the most disliked by Satake Yoshishige.

Although Yoshishige Satake had a straight face, Yoshinobu was not afraid at all, and only listened to him continue to say: "Father, this time the retainers were summoned here for the purpose of going out to the army, and now that the retainers have arrived, they should have wiped out the Hitachi Hojo Army in one go, but my father suddenly hesitated at this time, what is the doubt about the ministers of the family coming this time?" ”

"Shut up! You are a child who has no yuan uniform, how can you talk about military politics in vain, let me ask you, if the Gaoshan family loses in the joint battle this time, what should the family do? ”

"Father, whether the Gao Shan family fails or not has nothing to do with whether the family can't go out of the army this time? Takayama-sama sent a letter, and it was already written that the family would help him, and if the family stood by and watched, wouldn't it be tantamount to breaking the agreement, and Takayama-sama might still fulfill the agreement? At that time, the family still could not escape destruction. Besides, even if the Takayama army fails this time, with the strength of the Takayama family, it won't be long before it will make a comeback, and sooner or later Hojo will be wiped out, so the final victory will definitely be won by Takayama-sama. ”

After Satake Yoshishino's words, the retainers suddenly seemed to be awakened, yes, the victory is not much to say, this is a happy thing, even if it fails, with the financial resources of the Takayama family, it will not take long to rearm a powerful army, Hojo is going to be destroyed sooner or later, so the Takayama family is the family must not be offended, in this way, then what is there to hesitate.

"Full of nonsense, it's good to say that the Gaoshan family wins, once it is defeated, where will the family live? There is no place to live, how can the family afford to raise tens of thousands of elites, without these tens of thousands of elites, why does Lord Gao Shan still rely on his family, don't talk to me about any agreements, are there still few agreements signed by this family and the neighbors, if it is not for the strength of the family itself, who will fulfill these agreements? Speaking of this, Satake Yoshishige looked at Yoshinobu and said: "Don't think that Lord Takayama has agreed to marry his daughter to you as his wife, you can sit back and relax for a long time, not to mention that the two families have not completed the marriage now, even if you have married Ningzi, once the family is useless, Lord Takayama will not hesitate to kick the family away." ”

"The child does not agree with the words of the father......"
