Chapter 842: Discussing Echigo (Today's 24th Update)
The clan was reluctant to mention it to them, mainly because he was afraid that they would worry, so when Sakura finished speaking, he didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "Those who want to submit, if there is, then do as Sakura tells you, and don't kill them." "Husband, you're so nice to Sakura." "But, it's not so easy to destroy Uesugi, to be honest, even if it's a husband, there's no bottom in his heart."
"Anyway, my husband will always be the best in Sakura's heart." "Where's my awesome?" "Husband is great everywhere." After saying that, Sakura reacted, and what she said seemed to be inappropriate, so her face turned red and she said shyly: "Husband, you are good or bad, you know how to bully others." ”
"Oh, by the way, husband, Sakura has another important thing to tell her husband, these days I found that Chiyo sometimes always retchs, and my husband said that she has it?"
"I found out that Sakura-chan you really have the potential to gather intelligence, why don't you work for your own family, I will definitely not treat you badly." "Husband, Sakura is serious, why aren't you worried at all." The clan couldn't help but be happy after hearing this, only to hear him speak: "What's there to worry about, I'm about to become a grandfather, it's too late to be happy, what's there to worry about." "But Chiyo is only fifteen years old...... "Don't worry, that's also crazy girl, you don't know, the body feels very healthy." "But they are not married yet, and if outsiders know about it, I am afraid they will be ridiculed." "Then it's good to hold a wedding for them next month, but there is a reaction just now, and you will definitely not be able to see it then." "Isn't my husband going to help my father-in-law fight, if my husband is not present at the wedding, I'm afraid it will be a lot more disgraceful. Sakura really didn't want to see Gentaro's regretful look. Hearing this, the clan smiled and said, "I said Sakura, Sakura." You're really worried about your life. After worrying about my father-in-law's affairs, I worried about the Sakuma family, then I worried about the Uesugi family, and now I am worried about Shinkatsu, how can I not worry so blindly. "But no, Sakura has tried, but she just can't help but worry about it, okay, husband, what are you going to do?" "What else can I do. Of course I'm going to attend, it's my family's wedding, and I'm going to be there anyway. "But the father-in-law ......" "You don't have to worry, I don't need to fight in person this time, do you think, my father-in-law is such a face-loving person, if I fight, who do you say will be the main commander this time?" When the time comes, won't it make my father-in-law feel even more faceless, so I only need to leave a military advisor. Hearing this, Sakura finally put her mind at ease. It's like having a backbone, after all, if the Takayama clan really can't attend Gentaro's wedding. So whether it's preparation or something else, she needs to prepare, this is definitely a severe test for Sakura, now it's okay, everything is arranged by her husband, but Sakura feels that if the wedding is scheduled in a month, it seems a little too hasty, so tomorrow it's better to find a pharmacist to confirm it first, if the month is not big, you can also delay it a little, try to make their wedding more perfect. The clan now hopes that Tamako can also get pregnant, after all, if Chiyo gives birth to a boy, then according to the original agreement, he will go back to inherit the family business of the Tachibana family, and if it is Tamako, then his grandfather will be down-to-earth. Then the clan will inevitably sigh, after all, he is only thirty-three years old now, and with the descendants of his grandchildren, can he also call himself an old man? After thinking about it for a while, the clan gradually fell asleep.
In the early morning of the second day, the two military divisions finally arrived at Toyama Castle under the escort of 200 troops. There was no rush to attack Uesugi for a while, so the clan and Shibata Katsuie let the two of them rest for a day first, and it was not too late to talk about it in detail after recovering their spirits.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and on this day, the assessment room of the castle tower of Toyama Castle seemed a little deserted, in order to prevent leaks, so at this moment, in addition to the clan and the two military advisors in the family, there were only Shibata Katsuya, Sasa, Bupo and his adopted son, Shibata Katsutoyo, who had basically been ordered to be the next head of the family, as for the other retainers of the Shibata family, this time they were not qualified to appear here, not because they were not loyal enough, but because they were afraid that they would leak secrets, after all, although these people have no problem with loyalty, But who knows if the retainers under the command of these people are of the same mind as Shibata, especially since the two countries of Vietnam and Noto are not monolithic, and the two countries of Vietnam, China and Noto are all controlled by the Shibata family, if you do not take precautions, the news will easily leak out, and once the Uesugi family is prepared, it will be difficult to eliminate it.
Since there is no need to worry about the secrecy matter, everyone has expressed their thoughts after having no worries, and of course, in the end, it is Sanada Masayuki and Honda Masanobu that have the most feasible plan.
After listening to these two plans, the people present have a little headache, even the clan is no exception, Sanada Masayuki proposed the most secure plan, and the Uesugi family for a decisive battle, this plan has no possibility of flattery, after all, Kasuga Mountain Castle is located in the neck city county adjacent to Echichu, although on the easternmost side of this county, but once the war starts, then Uesugi Kenshin can quickly mobilize reinforcements to come, but once the Uesugi army can be broken head-on, then it is equivalent to clearing the obstacles to capture Echigo, and the war that will change later will become very simple, The problem is that even if they win, the losses of the Alpine Army will probably not be small. As for Honda Masanobu's proposal, if it can succeed, not only will it not lose much military strength, but the time it will take will be greatly shortened, but once it fails, then the Takayama army will face the situation of total annihilation, so even the Takayama clan, which has always been adventurous, does not intend to adopt this strategy, this is not because he is timid, but entirely because the enemy is Uesugi Kenshin, who is known as the god of war, in front of this great god, what Honda Masanobu, Sanada Masayuki, including himself, can only be regarded as a small character, and use a plan in front of him, The probability of being recognized is too great, so the clan feels that it is best to do it with real knives and guns in the face of such a character, so as not to steal chickens and rice, especially this soldier clan sect can not fight in person, so he dare not let them play casually, if he really plays the old bottom, what will he do to destroy Hojo, let alone eliminate Hojo when the time comes, it is a good thing not to be eliminated by it.
After having such an idea, I only heard the clan speak: "Father-in-law, the clan believes that Uesugi Kenshin has always used soldiers like a god, and it may be difficult to succeed in using means in front of him, so it is better to fight with him, if he succeeds, then Echigo will not escape the hands of his father-in-law, if he fails, it is a big deal to return to Echichu and continue to wait for the opportunity." ”
Shibata Katsuie, Sasa Narumasa are traditional samurai, they originally wanted to fight with the enemy in a dignified manner, they thought that only in this way could they show their bravery, but in the last ten years, especially after the clan was born, it seems that the samurai all over the world have changed a lot, that is, although they still pay attention to their own bravery, but in order to win but no longer exclude, in this way, it is becoming more and more difficult for these traditional samurai to get the final victory, but there is nothing to be done about it, It's been a lifetime of charging into battle, and it's really a bit embarrassing for them to suddenly use their memories, and Shibata Katsuya, Sakuma Nobumori is undoubtedly lucky, although they don't know how to use tricks, but they have the Takayama clan such as one of the best strategists in the world, otherwise they would not have been able to get today's power, although Shibata Katsuya is more fortunate in history, but more rely on its early appearance, with early credit, there is such a height in history, but in the later period because it can't keep up with the times, As a result, it was wiped out by a monkey who was good at using tricks, so even if it was a fluke, it wouldn't last long.
Shibata Katsuie is very much in favor of confronting Uesugi head-on, and in his opinion, this is the courage that a samurai should have.
"Senbei is right, this matter is decided." Shibata Katsuya didn't care if everyone present had anything to say, and hurriedly made a decision, for fear that the clan would regret it.
"Although the Uesugi family only controls a few hundred thousand stones, because it has the financial support of Sado Kanayama, as far as his command knows, the number of Uesugi troops exceeds 30,000, and each of them is an elite of a hundred battles, if it is a head-on enemy, then even if Takayama-sama wants to help, it will not be cheap." Bu Po Guangzhi said seriously.
In his opinion, if there is no help from the clan, then it is a last resort to regret that Uesugi has to be, since there is now the Takayama clan and its military advisors, if you don't have to scheming to win, it is really a waste of Takayama-sama's talent.
Although he did not have much contact with the clan before joining the Takayama faction, through several battles with the Takayama clan, he had blindly believed that there was no one in the world who was wise and resourceful, and even Uesugi Kenshin was definitely not his opponent in terms of strategy. So although Shibata Katsuya has decided, he is still a little unwilling, so he said something about Shibata Katsuie, hoping to change his original intention.
However, Shibata Katsuya didn't appreciate it, and only listened to him say: "It's true that the Uesugi family is strong, but if we can defeat it head-on, wouldn't it be a good way to prove to the world that we are strong?" As a samurai, you should have the consciousness to go up in the face of difficulties, but this matter has been decided, so there is no need to say more. After saying that, Shibata Katsuya couldn't help but look at the clan.
At this time, my father-in-law seemed to me to ask how many troops he could send to the battle, but he was embarrassed to speak with his character. Therefore, he can only convey his meaning through his eyes, and let the clan master understand it himself.
In front of others. The clan sect was not good at pretending not to understand, so he said directly: "Father-in-law, this time the clan is going to send 16,000 spears to the battle. (To be continued.) )
