"There's no need to worry about it, as long as the Takayama family is not destroyed, there is no need to worry about the safety of the family at all, don't look at the lord's great achievements, but in major matters, especially in the face of the Takayama family, the lord is even more so, in addition, after I leave, there are not many people who can give advice to the lord, the Ukita Nao family is old, and there is no desire to win for a long time, although Matsunaga Hide's intelligence is outstanding, but it does not take the right path, and there is no need to worry, as for Kinoshita Hidenaga, Niwa Nagahide is outstanding, but resourcefulness is not what he is good at, so as for the others... Tokugawa Ieyasu and his retainers are wise and resourceful, but don't worry, Tokugawa and Kinoshita are not of the same mind, so my departure is only good for the Tokugawa family, how can they break it in front of the lord?

And the most important point, that is, even if the lord is determined to come to Kyushu to eliminate us, but the retainers under his command want to think that the lord's territory is far away from the mountains, but what about Matsunaga, Takigawa, and Niwa? So I'm sure that as long as the family doesn't declare its separation from the Kinoshita family, then the lord will never lead an army to attack. ”

With Kuroda Kanbei's analysis, Goto Matabei no longer frowned as he did just now, but said solemnly: "I don't know if the lord recruited his subordinates alone this time, what orders do you have, as long as your family is strong, your subordinates will not hesitate." ”

Seeing Goto Matabei so good, Kuroda Kanbei was very satisfied, only to hear him nod and say: "Okay, what I want is this determination, after I leave with the troops, there are two things that you need to complete, the first is to pack up your belongings, and quietly leave here a month later to go to Kyushu Satsuma, after arriving in Satsuma, don't let the people of Shimazu find out unless you have to." Well... In order to ensure safety, you can contact the Kumano Water Army in Awaji after taking me away, and with their escort, safety can be guaranteed. ”

"The Kumano Suijun is a force of the Takayama family, and will escort us?" After listening, Goto Matabei asked suspiciously.

"So there is a second thing that you need to do, I need you to spread the news of your family's expedition to Kyushu all over the world in the shortest possible time, you don't have to be too deliberate on the side of the Takayama family, as long as the news comes out, you send someone to Awaji, the Takayama clan will naturally know, and I believe that the Takayama clan will help the family successfully land in Kyushu, the more difficult thing is that I need you to spread the news to Mutsu within a month, or even half a month, at least let the main forces of Mutsu know about their actions."

"My lord, please forgive my subordinates for being stupid, and please ask my lord to solve your doubts." The lord is too big in this game of chess, and there are too many plans, in order to be able to complete the task better and not to delay the family's major affairs, so Goto Matabei must figure out the joints, only in this way can he not make any mistakes before completing the task, and the hope of the family's rise must not be dashed because of himself.

Kuroda didn't think he wanted to ask anything wrong, he didn't understand it, he had to ask, this is a sign of prudence, as a resourceful person, prudence is particularly important, so I just listened to him tirelessly explained: "It's very simple, having me by the lord's side, and the Kinoshita family without me by the lord's side is different, this may not be clear to the lord, but the Takayama clan must know, so if you say that the people in the world want me to stay away from the lord the most, the Takayama clan ranks second, and no one dares to say that he ranks first, so I ask you to contact the Kumano water army, By the way, they brought the news to the Takayama clan, and in terms of delivering news, the water route was much faster than the land route.

As for letting the forces of Mutsu know, that's because I need to let them unite and entangle the Takayama clan, don't look at the remote place of Mutsu, but there will definitely be no shortage of smart people, as long as someone thinks that the next target of the Kinoshita family's strategy is Kyushu, not with the Takayama family, then someone will definitely think that the Takayama family is also very likely to pacify Mutsu at the same time, if it's just one family, maybe they will be obedient, but if everyone knows, and the time to know the news is still very early, I think they should unite to resist, after all, they should know that the Takayama family will never attack them with all their might. And their role is to drag the Gaoshan family for a while, and the family has not yet risen, and I don't want the world to be unified so soon. ”

After listening to Kuroda Kanbei's explanation, Goto Matabei felt suddenly enlightened, and sure enough, as he just thought, the lord's plan has exceeded his imagination, and even the Takayama clan has calculated, and I am afraid that only a few people in this world such as the lord can do it.

After fully understanding the lord's thoughts,Goto and the guards immediately began to act without any delay.,Because the plan is very big.,So this time he went to Awaji in person.,As for the simple task of spreading the news,,It's handed over to the low-level samurai of the Kuroda family to complete.,Within half a month,The whole world knows that Kinoshita Hideyoshi sent Kuroda Kanbei to lead the army to conquer Kyushu.,Although it is said that there is only one Kuroda family.,But with Kuroda Kanwei in charge,No one will think that Kinoshita Hideyoshi is not paying enough attention to Kyushu.,Most people think, The reason why the Kinoshita family's army did not go out was to guard against the attack of the Takayama family.

。。。

And just as Kuroda Kanbei thought, Kuki Yoshitaka, who had already moved his base to Awaji, was surprised when he saw the Kuroda family's retainer Goto Kiji, but after listening to the other party's request, he was even more surprised, the other party actually wanted to send a naval army to escort the Kuroda family's family to Kyushu Satsuma, what was the situation? Who doesn't know that Kinoshita and Takayama are competing for the world, and the chief military advisor of the other party actually made such a request to himself at this time, in order to confirm that he didn't hear it wrong after drinking, he confirmed it three times in a row, only to know that things were so bizarre.

Of course, if it is a small fish and a small shrimp, the Nine Ghosts Jialong will deal with the other party by himself, but this involves the first military division of the Kinoshita family, Kuroda Kanwei, and he doesn't dare to make his own decisions, especially since he has just decided to be loyal to the Takayama family, and he can't be as arbitrary and independent as before.

So after confirming that it was correct, he immediately sent the news to Odawara and asked the lord to decide.

If you take the land route, you will definitely not be able to get there without ten days and half a month, let alone come and go, but if you take the water route, it only took more than four days and less than five days, and the news has been sent to Odawara Castle, where the Takayama clan is located, of course, this is also because Odawara Castle is not far from the sea, and if it is still in Takayama City, the news will not be delivered so quickly.

。。。

After listening to the former commander of the Awaji Water Army, the current deputy commander of the Antaku Nobuyasu, the clan was puzzled for a moment, and soon realized, it seems that Kuroda Kanbei is still not willing to be lonely, and wants to take advantage of the decisive battle between the family and the Kinoshita family, to get enough capital, such an idea cannot be said to be wrong, and it is not surprising what kind of things to do for the family business in this era.

Now that he has figured out the joint, of course the clan will escort the other party away, although it seems to be inferior to Kuroda Kanbei in terms of calculation, but what's the problem with this, as the other party thought, the Kinoshita family with Kuroda and the Kinoshita family without Kuroda are completely two different concepts. Of course, the clan wanted his opponent to be as weak as possible, and there was no reason not to help Kuroda at all.

Of course, Kuroda Kanwei's ability can not be underestimated, this time he went to Kyushu, the target must be Otomo, don't look at Otomo is now in the limelight in Kyushu, but this is only temporary, as long as it does not eliminate Shimazu one day, then the variables will exist for a day, especially in the case of Ryuzoji Temple and Shimazu are currently allied, once there is the help of Kuroda Kanwei, the current situation in Kyushu is believed to be subverted in a short time, although Otomo has Tachibana Michiyuki, Takahashi Shaoyun, but the ability of the Shimazu brothers is absolutely undoubted, In addition, Tachibana Michiyuki is old, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility.

So if nothing else, it will be difficult for the Otomo family to continue the current situation, but fortunately, the retainers under his command are very idle now, and they can contribute to the Kyushu battlefield at that time, and Otomo is now playing a big role in his family, and he must not watch him perish.

Thinking of this, the clan summoned his eldest son, Nobukatsu, Chiyo, and sent someone to invite Sanada Masayuki.

It didn't take long for the two of them to appear in front of the clan, and as for Sanada Masayuki, since he was not in Odawara but returned to Ueno, it would take some time to arrive.

In the past few days, Tachibana Chiyo's mood has not been very good, and now the news that the Kinoshita family sent Kuroda Takataka to fight in Kyushu is well known, how can she not know that Kuroda Kanbei has long been a famous samurai in the world, especially its resourcefulness, it is said that it is no worse than several military advisors in her family, although she has confidence in her biological father, but with the loss of time, her biological father is now sixty or five years old, coupled with the inconvenience of her legs and feet, I am afraid it will be difficult to block Kuroda's attack, it is this matter that makes her feel very uneasy. Originally, I wanted to find a reason to hope that my father would be able to come to the rescue, but I didn't expect that my father would recruit himself and her husband first.

"I've seen my father."

After the two of them saluted and sat down, the clan sect, as usual, still didn't talk to them about the world's major affairs, just idle and homely, which was also deliberately done by the clan, he didn't want his family to talk about anything except the war, so it was a little too boring, so except for wartime and designated strategies, the clan rarely said this to his family. Today is no exception, when you don't have grandchildren, ask your children, and if you have a grandchild's clan, of course, you have to have a relationship.

"How is this little guy Kitaro doing, and he still can't wet the bed?" I only heard the clan ask with a smile. When I hugged Kitaro for the first time, this little thing even pulled and urinated the clan's family, and there were many retainers present in the family at that time, so it was not embarrassing.

Since then,Whenever you see Shinkatsu when there's nothing big about it.,Chiyo will always ask like this.,Over time, it has become a convention.,Kishitaro as the eldest grandson of the Takayama clan.,Of course, it's necessary to care.,Of course, the clan is not patriarchal.,If you see Tamako.,Then you must also ask about the granddaughter Wakako.。

Due to the number of questions, Shinkatsu and Chiyo, who were embarrassed at first, have long been accustomed to it.
