This time, due to the small number of Otomo troops and the fact that he had not yet come out of the shadow of the last defeat, under the advice of Sanada Masayuki, Otomo Yoshitomo finally decided to use the terrain to block the enemy's attack at Matsuo Castle.

As soon as the Shimazu family's army entered Toyogo, they went straight to Matsuo Castle, but because of the other party's cage castle and the fact that there were 3,000 ashigaru in the city, it took two days in a row, although the Shimazu family army launched a fierce attack on the city, but it did not achieve any results, and the ashigaru in the city was no longer as frightened as when he came because of the smooth defense of the two days, and with the improvement of morale, the defense of this city became stronger.

Seeing this, Otomo Yoshizhen had the idea of wanting to fight back, which inevitably required Sanada Masayuki to think of a winning strategy for him.

It's just a pity that Sanada Masayuki rejected him on the pretext that there were no brave generals in the city.

Yes, this is the excuse, Sanada Masayuki is not out of the question, but he really doesn't want the Otomo family to have a unified Kyushu momentum, and now the form of Kyushu is what the lord wants to see the most, Kuroda Kanbei is trapped in Higo and cannot advance an inch, Shimazu and Otomo are evenly matched, as for the Dragon Temple, there is no need to worry about it for the time being, and even the strength of the separation of soldiers and peasants has not been completed, and it is destined not to do anything in the world, so there is no need to think about it, so in this way, he can be regarded as completing the task of the main bus generation.

In the blink of an eye, it was half a month, because he saw that Shimazu Yoshihiro had not been able to capture Matsuo Castle for a long time, Shimazu Yoshihisa ordered him to retreat, after all, the task given to him by Kuroda Kanbei was to launch an attack on Bungo, but he didn't say what kind of results he wanted to achieve, and now he has done it according to the order, and it can be regarded as an explanation, as for whether the results have been achieved, it doesn't matter at all, and because the Shimazu family has just occupied Hyuga and Osumi, and has not caught up with the harvest of the year, so the grain and grass are not sufficient, so the withdrawal is also an inevitable result.

And after Sanada Masayuki learned that the other party had withdrawn his troops, and after receiving that Tachibana and the Ryuzoji family were in a stalemate with Kuroda Kanbei at Kuma Castle, he did not hesitate to say goodbye to Otomo Yoshitomi and return to the Takayama family.

。。。

And just when the Kuroda Kanbei was in trouble with Kyushu, the Takayama clan clan clan who was far away in the eastern country did not just wait for the news to come, and at the same time, he had a big idea to the Mutsu, which was also a helpless thing, he had been dominating the Eastern Kingdom for so long, and those clowns in Mutsu actually ignored it, which made him very depressed, aren't those forces of Mutsu afraid that they will send troops to destroy them in a fit of anger?

In fact, those forces really think so, Mutsu is a bitter cold place, they expected that the clan would not look down on here, and at this moment, the Takayama family had just won the Kanto Kingdom, and they would definitely not be able to take care of their side for a while, so they began to be bolder, of course, they were not so unscrupulous, at least the families that were still fighting each other had stopped fighting with each other, no matter how much hatred there was before, at least now Mutsu is calm, and these people have not fallen silent because of this, but are constantly in contact.

In the end, the Mutsu families, who originally had a grudge against each other, actually united under the pressure of the Kanto, and of course this alliance was still very loose.

And after learning this news, the clan was a little unable to sit still, originally as the Mutsu group of natives thought, if the other party took refuge, he didn't bother to worry about the other party, after all, that place is really not very good, rather than distribute it to the retainers in the future, let the retainers suffer, then it is better to be like Kyushu, maintain the status quo, so that it is good for themselves and them, but these forces actually want to unite to resist themselves during this time, which is beyond his bottom line, especially the war between the family and the Toyotomi family is inevitable, He didn't want to lose the war at this time because of the instability of his rear, so taking advantage of the new defeat of the Toyotomi family, he decided to solve the problem of Mutsu first.

It's just that Mutsu really doesn't need the Takayama family to make a big move, and even the separation of soldiers and peasants has not begun, and such a force is simply a snap of the fingers for the Takayama family.

Therefore, this time, Sosei only appointed Takayama Nobukatsu as the general general, and sent 10,000 Ueno troops to fight against the 1,000-banner samurai led by the wind demon Kojiro against the Mutsu clans. For Mutsu, it is enough to have these 10,000 elite flags.

After all, according to the estimation of the clan, even if all the peasants in the generals of the forces of Mutsu were mobilized, it would be good to have 20,000 together, and if you think about it, you don't have to worry about 10,000 elites against 20,000 peasant soldiers. As for the 1,000-banner samurai, of course, it was used to protect the safety of Shinkatsu.

This time he also gave Nobukatsu a chance to lead the troops independently, although he had enough experience in fighting independently when he attacked Mino, but at that time the family was still very weak, even if it was a battle, it was a small-scale joint battle, and this time it was different, this time it was a war with more than 10,000 people, and the other party was so weak, it was just right to establish prestige for Shinkatsu.

Now the clan has entered the age of thirty-six, if it is placed in the next generation, this is the right age, but in this era can already call himself an old man, although he does not feel that he is old, but when he thinks that he has worked hard for nearly twenty years, after the world is stable, it is time to retire and enjoy life, so cultivating a suitable heir is now the most important thing for the clan to do, he does not want the prosperity of the Gaoshan family to only end in his own generation.

"Father, I wonder if this time I want to wipe out all the Mutsu forces or accept their submissions?" Before leaving, Takayama Nobukatsu couldn't help but come to the living room and ask the Takayama clan.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that this time the clan sect did not give an answer, but said casually: "Since this matter is handed over to you to deal with, then you can handle it." ”

It was September, at the same time that Sanada Masayuki went to Kyushu, 11,000 Takayama troops under the leadership of Takayama Nobukatsu had already headed towards Mutsu, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally the Ashina family in Aizu, to talk about this Ashina family is also unlucky, originally after the Ashina Mori clan unified the Kanto region of the Takayama family, he had already given up the position of family governor to his son-in-law Ashina Moriko, and he didn't have to work hard for the Ashina family, at least he didn't have to think about whether the Takayama family would call, or when he would call.

But the good times didn't last long, but Ashina Shengxing, who succeeded the family governor, died violently in June, which made the Ashina family panic, and the Ashina Mori family was helpless, and it was worth continuing to take on the heavy responsibility.
