And at the same time as the army under his command was resting, the two military advisors and the leading retainers in the family had been summoned to the assessment room by the clan

As soon as everyone sat down, they heard Sanada Masayuki say, "My lord, my subordinates think that it is unwise to set the castle in Takayama Castle......"

Then Sanada Masayuki said everything he thought of, and after he finished speaking, he saw that the clan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Although your idea cannot be said to be wrong, I can only say that your caution seems to be a little too much, you just said that this city is in danger, although I agree with this, but I think danger and opportunity coexist."

If the castle is set in Matsukura Castle, then for the sake of safety, it is necessary to divide a lot of troops to defend it, although the army of the family has now expanded to 4,500 people, but there are still more than a dozen cities to defend, even in wartime, at least 500 people, counting the military strength stationed in the gold mines, then the army of the family can go to the battlefield is only a little more than 3,000, not to mention that the Takeda family will send reinforcements, even if they are not sent, the total army of the enemy will exceed 4,500 people, these alone will be difficult to deal with.

And if Takayama Castle is set as the main city, then at least hundreds of troops can be saved, and the Takeda family will be fought, and for each additional person, the chance of repelling the enemy will be greater, let alone five hundred?

And if even the strong defense of the mountain castle can be broken by the enemy, then how can Matsukura Castle, which is not as good as this city, withstand the enemy's attack, so whether it is this alpine castle or Matsukura Castle, as long as the war is not over, then there is no city in the world that can be called absolutely safe.

In my opinion, it is better to concentrate all the forces that the family can dispatch, even if the enemy wants to defeat the family, then let him take a few punches first. ”

After hearing these words, Sanada Masayuki did not give up his intention to persuade him. I only heard him say next: "The lord said well, but the lord only talked about the wartime, but he didn't talk about the post-war period, with his subordinates' understanding of Takeda Shingen." Even if this attack fails, as long as it does not withdraw from Hida, then Takayama Castle will always be in danger.

And the lord can't always concentrate the military forces here, once the main hall has an order to fight, then this will be the best time for the Takeda family to attack, without any buffer, the enemy can directly attack the main city of the family. If this is the case, there is no hurry to send reinforcements from various cities, then no matter how strong this mountain city is, it will one day be captured by the enemy, so please think twice. ”

I only heard the clan sect speak: "Chang Xing, you are concerned about chaos, you only thought that your family was passively beaten, but have you ever thought that once the Takeda family is defeated." How could I not take advantage of this great opportunity to lead an army to chase after me, so that. It simply didn't have time to set up defenses in Fangka City, and it was not impossible to drive it out of Hida, if it wanted to succeed, it would be even more necessary to gather all the troops that could be dispatched here, and once the Takeda family was driven out of the city and the Jiangma family was eliminated, then this Takayama Castle, which is located in the center of Hida, would become the safest place.

Moreover, the roads outside Takayama Castle lead in all directions, regardless of which direction the enemy attacks. Then my family can deal with it in a hurry, and this is the most important reason why I chose to live here. ”

Although Sanada Masayuki still felt that it was a little inappropriate to set the castle here, but when the lord said this, he had no way to refute it, and what the lord said was not unreasonable.

First of all, if the mountains are high, the front line of Kojima Castle is broken by the enemy. Then just like the lord said just now, no matter where the castle is located, it is impossible to block the attack of the Takeda family, if the family wins, then as the lord said, can completely drive the Takeda army out of Hida in one fell swoop, this Takayama Castle will undoubtedly be the safest, so he really has nothing to say now. …,

Seeing that Sanada Masayuki was not persuading, the clan also revealed the matter, after all, what is going to be said below is more important than this matter. I only heard the clan speak: "According to Mizse Uemon's personal investigation, Terurenji Temple and Kokubunji Temple have all fallen to Takeda, and Kokubunji Temple is good to say, but Terurenji Temple has decided to attack Matsukura Castle when the family and the Takeda family are at war.

Although Matsukura Castle is not the main city, it is one of the important cities of the family, and the army of the family is gathered to the fullest, and once it launches an attack, then Matsukura Castle will definitely not be able to defend it.

And with the grudge between the family and the temple, I believe that the attack on Matsukura Castle is just the beginning, and even if the family repels the Takeda family by then, the territory has basically fallen into the hands of Terurenji, which is not a small trouble, so I decided to take advantage of the arrival of the Takeda family's reinforcements to destroy it, only in this way can the family go all out to deal with Takeda, I don't know what you have to say. ”

After listening to the lord's words, Maeda Keiji was the first retainer to reflect. I saw him jump up violently, and said angrily: "That little Zhaolian Temple dares to play yin, the lord, the subordinates are willing to lead a hundred banner warriors to annihilate it, and ask the lord to decide." ”

For the Terurin Temple not far from Matsukura Castle, Maeda Keiji still has some understanding, although the temple is built on a dangerous peak, but the land under its control is pitiful, so with the hundred flags under his command to attack, it is not a hand-to-hand capture, so I only listen to him be the first to speak.

"Nonsense, the main task of the banner warriors under your command is to protect the safety of the lord, and the family now has a large number of troops, where can you be used, and I won't sit down." I only heard Maeda Toshiya reprimand.

And after he finished talking about Maeda Keiji, he didn't end it, but immediately said: "Lord, the scimitar ashigaru led by his subordinates has basically taken shape after this month of double training, and his subordinates currently think that what they lack the most is actual combat, so I also ask my lord to hand over the task of destroying Terurenji Temple to his subordinates to complete." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Watanabe Shougang was unwilling, because the elite armor ashigaru team he led in the past had the heavy responsibility of protecting the lord, many of the benefits were taken up by several other armies of the family, and now he and his subordinates were finally worried about the safety of the lord, so it should be their turn to take such a credit.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Lord, the five hundred elite armor Ashigaru under the command of his subordinates have now begun to have combat power, and his subordinates hope that the lord will use this battle to test their combat strength, and ask the lord for permission." ”

"The words of the two adults do not agree with the subordinates, the purpose of the lord to set up the new writing group is to ensure the safety of the territory, and the lord once said that the other military forces of the family are used for foreign wars, and the new writing group is responsible for the security of the territory, and now this Zhaolian Temple is located in the territory of the family, and it is the responsibility of the new writing group to eliminate them, so the subordinates believe that the matter of sending out the army should be completed by the new writing group under the command of the subordinates."

The person who spoke was Yamauchi Kazutoyo, when he partnered with Maeda Keiji before, because Maeda Keiji could argue better than him, and the reasoning continued, so once the lord held a military meeting, he let Maeda Keiji participate, and if he couldn't get anything, then even if he went, he couldn't get it either.

But now he can't get out of the horse, that Katsusuke Tanaka is too honest, so that he is much better than Keiji Maeda, but let him argue with other retainers, then he is much worse, not to mention that he is not as good as Keiji Maeda, even compared to himself.

Now the family will face a big battle that exceeds any previous battle, this is a good opportunity for the new writing team to make a name for themselves, if the military discussion in this battle is all attended by Tanaka Katsusuke, as long as it is not set by the lord himself, then I am afraid he will not even be able to catch a fart, so when he was appointed as the deputy general leader of the new writing group, Yamauchi Kazutoyo immediately asked him to grasp the defense of the territory, and he himself took over the work of Maeda Keiji. …,

And after he finished speaking, more retainers also hoped that the lord would give him this opportunity to train the army, so they also expressed their thoughts.

"Alright, let's shut up for now." Seeing that the retainers were still expressing their opinions endlessly, they only heard the clan sect open their mouths and interrupted them.

After the assessment room was quiet again, he was heard to continue: "None of you have to fight for the destruction of Zhaolian Temple this time, you all have a share. ”

When the clan Zong Gang said this, the retainers couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, they all knew that there were only about 100 monks in the Zhaolian Temple, even if they could incite the civilians in the surrounding villages, the army would not exceed five hundred, and if it was not counted as the ninja army, the family alone had 3,000 people, if they all went, the 100 monks and no more than 400 peasant soldiers at most, I am afraid that it would not even be enough to plug the teeth, so that the purpose of training the soldiers could not be achieved at all, but the lord had not finished speaking, and they were not good to interrupt directly, Just sit there and listen quietly.

I only heard the clan continue: "According to the ninja report, Kaga Honganji, who has a deep grudge against the family, sent seven hundred elite monks and a large number of materials to provide assistance to the Lotus Temple Castle, and whether it is a person or a thing, they have now arrived in the Teruretsuji Temple, so what I can face is not a hundred monks, but a full eight hundred, originally I planned to send the family ninja army to dispatch them, but since you said that the ashigaru under his command already has a certain combat effectiveness, then it is time for those new Ashigaru to see the blood."

So I decided to go this time only to lead the new army in each army, if you think that the army under your command has not yet been trained, you can bring it up, I will definitely not blame, but if after waiting on the battlefield, if any army is not able to use, then don't blame me for turning the other cheek. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
