"Okay, I'm calling you here this time because in the morning, I met the envoy sent by Mutsu, and that bastard from the Takayama clan has already dispatched 10,000 troops to attack Mutsu, so I've promised Mutsu that I will send troops to help, so you can all tell me how many troops can be sent this time." After Kinoshita Hideyoshi sat down, he couldn't wait to ask directly.

The reason why Kinoshita Hideyoshi said this is because he was already preparing for a decisive battle with the Takayama family, and there was no way to make such a decision in such a hurry, the Takayama family did not seize the Kanto region for a long time, and according to the intelligence, the Takayama clan temporarily focused on the governance of the Kanto region, so the military strength did not increase for the time being, but Kinoshita Hideyoshi believes that this is absolutely only temporary, once it develops the Kanto, then with the land of the Kanto, There is absolutely no need to doubt that the strength of the army under his command should be doubled.

And because of the problem of the Kinoshita family's system, it is difficult for him to improve, after all, although it seems that the territory under his rule is larger than that of the Takayama family, but the difference is that the land in the eastern country is basically under the direct jurisdiction of the Takayama clan, and the land in the western country is actually only about 2 million koku, and the rest is in the hands of Matsunaga, Takigawa, Mori, Ukita, Tokugawa and other foreign retainers, so it is difficult for the family to make a breakthrough in the military situation, and now if these people are engaged in a full-scale war, Then the total army strength can reach 150,000, even if the Takayama family has Shibata, Sakuma and other forces to help, at most it can only make up 100,000 troops, and once it waits for three or five years before the decisive battle, then the strength of the family will not increase much, and the Takayama family itself alone can have an army of more than 100,000 people, and then there will be no numerical advantage, and it is difficult to command like an arm in addition to the military strength of those foreign retainers, so it is simply wishful thinking to want to win.

Therefore, Kinoshita Hideyoshi believes that the sooner he fights the other party, the better it will be for the Kinoshita family. Originally, he hadn't figured out how to do it, but now that the other party had begun to attack Mutsu, the family could take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to fight against him. After all, the Gaoshan Army is only tens of thousands of troops now, and it is quite a lot to be able to reduce it by 10,000.

"Lord, my subordinates think that this is not the time for a decisive battle with the Takayama family, those forces of Mutsu, my subordinates have also heard of some, their strength is too weak, and they are not vulnerable in front of the Takayama army, and the subordinates think that when the lord sees the messenger sent by the Mutsu side, I am afraid that Mutsu has been pacified by the Takayama family, if the army is sent out at this time, then the family will face the danger of being attacked from three sides, and the Takayama army has no worries, so the subordinates think that if it is a decisive battle with the Takayama army, then it is necessary to first take Otomo, And the elimination of the Chozong family entrenched in Shikoku.,Only in this way, can the family let go of their hands and feet to fight each other.。 ”

Since Konishiya became the royal merchant of the Kinoshita family, Konishi's status in the Kinoshita family has also skyrocketed, because he knows very well in his heart that the Kinoshita family has fallen into a development bottleneck, and if he wants to have more military strength, and then arm them into elites, then only like the Takayama family before, vigorously develop commerce, and Konishi Yukicho has grasped the key, so before the important ministers of the family can speak, he took the lead in speaking as a general.

Obviously, his words are also what those important ministers in the family want to say, although the important ministers of the Kinoshita family also think that if it drags on for a longer time, the more unfavorable it will be to the family, but the problem is that if the decisive battle is now, it will be even more unfavorable to the family, once the family is fully armed, they believe that the relatives of the Changzong and the Otomo Zonglin will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and at that time the rear is unstable, how can the front concentrate on fighting, I am afraid that when the news of the attack in the territory comes, maybe it will collapse completely, and at that time, as long as the Takayama army then covers up, That's all over.

Now it happened that Governor Konishi was the first to speak their minds, so not only was no one dissatisfied with letting a general speak before him, but he was very pleased with what he had done.

"Lord, my subordinates feel that what Konishi said is reasonable, although on the surface, the family has an advantage in the number of troops, but if you think about it carefully, this advantage is completely non-existent, if the family launches a full-scale attack on it, then the Nagazong family and the Otomo family will definitely take this opportunity to launch an attack on the western country, and then the rear is unstable, how can the family be at ease and have a decisive battle with the Takayama army, but if you let part of the army stay in the territory, then it is difficult to have an advantage in the military situation, Therefore, the subordinates also think that they should completely solve their worries first, and then have a decisive battle with the Takayama family. Niwa Nagahide couldn't help but nod and said.

After the two of them finished speaking, those retainers who were looking forward to a decisive battle with the Gao Shan family also began to calm down, just now they were just thinking about making meritorious contributions, once the Gao Shan family was eliminated, then the next step was to divide the world, if they could make great contributions in this battle, it would not be difficult to get a reward from a country, but now they no longer have the enthusiasm just now, after all, even if there is no Changzong and the Otomo family to make trouble, it is not easy to eliminate the Gao Shan family, not to mention these two families with considerable strength, The hope of winning is even slimmer.

"The Otomo family was defeated in the Battle of Ogawa, and they are now besieging Kuroda Kanwei, so there is no need to worry about attacking Honshu, as for the Chomune family... Kinoshita Hideyoshi said here, there is no good way, Nagamune's family is across the Seto Inland Sea from himself, and he wants to attack him, not to mention how many troops he has to mobilize, I'm afraid that even the sea can't pass, after all, in Awaji, there is a Takayama family and a naval army. Although the Maori Navy can be mobilized to contain this Navy, but there is still the Kumano Navy, once the Maori Navy is dispatched, presumably the Kumano Navy will not sit idly by, and there is no possibility of winning with one enemy and two enemies, even if he successfully crosses the sea, how can he come back after he has eliminated Changzong's department? So he didn't know what to do with this nail anymore.

Since there is no way, then ask the retainers under his command, so when he was halfway through his words, he turned his head to look at the two remaining military advisors in the family, and then asked: "Ukita Nao, Araki Murashige, you two think, how to solve the Changzong family, so as not to go to the family's worries?" ”
