"Goto-sama, please don't say that, my lord is my Kuroda family's general, and he has a lot of experience. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore I went out, my father had mentioned to me that if anything happened, I would have to discuss it with him. And this time to attack the land of the original Ryokari family,So far, the surrounding situation is very weird.,It's also very confusing for a while.,So I hope that the adults can refer to one or two for me.,Fortunately, there is a response at the same time as there is an emergency.。 Imate Yukiyoshi immediately said modestly.

"In that case, I'm going to make a fool of myself in front of adults. Seeing this large territory below, there was not a single common man, and a large area of the world was also abandoned, and he felt very puzzled in the next, so he specially sent someone to check it. Both the village and the land here have obvious traces of habitation and farming, which means that it has not been abandoned for a long time, so the people here must have been artificially relocated. ”

"Hmmm! Goto-sama is indeed more sophisticated, and what the adults said is right, as long as there are traces of residence, but there are no people in sight, it should indeed be relocated for a short time, so what about after that? ”

"Judging from the current situation, there are three possible speculations, but the basis is that all the people have been arrested." Goto said.

"Oh! Which three guesses? ”

"My lord, the first and the common people were all taken away by the Shimazu family after the defeat of the war, as their foundation for the future; second, the people were captured by the Kitahara family in the city to clear the walls, and at the same time as a force to defend the city; Third, he was sent to his own territory by the Kitahara family to enrich his population and at the same time serve as capital against his own family. Goto Kikuni said all his guesses, and then stood aside respectfully, looking closely at Imate Yukiyo, waiting for him to give instructions, after all, he was the general who came out this time.

"The first guess should be basically impossible, after the defeat of the Shimazu family, they quickly evacuated here, here is supported by the intelligence of the concentric people, the Shimazu family from the defeat to the withdrawal of here, before and after only two hours, even if it is a premeditated coercion of the people, but in the end it should only be able to coerce some of the strong men, it is absolutely impossible to do so thoroughly, compared to the second and third guesses in the next I think it is possible." Tomokiyoshi Imate said.

"Hmmm! The adult's analysis is good, and that's what I think below. Inote nodded.

"Idate-sama, I also noticed before going down that basically all the food, iron, and money, as long as it can be taken, has been taken, which must take a lot of time, but the Shimazu family happens to lack such time, so it is indeed more like the Kitahara family."

"Either way, it seems to be a problem for us, and if the Kitahara family hoards a large number of people in the city, we really can't attack." Imate Tomokiyoshi muttered to himself.

"My lord, I dare to ask, what is the military purpose of our troops this time?" Goto asked.

"Occupy the land of the former Ryokari family and achieve the goal of taking all of Satsuma." Tomokiyoshi Imate said.

In fact, Goto Kikuni is a middle- and high-ranking samurai of the Kuroda family, and he also participated in the military discussion before the battle, how could he not know the purpose of this military dispatch. Now that he asked, it means that he has his own opinion on this point, and this opinion is inevitably related to the Kuroda family's attack on the land of the Hishikari family this time, as well as the strange situation they are currently facing.

"It's not wrong to take all of Satsuma, that's what we're going to do this time."

"Hmmm! In addition to us, there is also Lord Ando Mori with 3,000 people from his headquarters, as well as hundreds of wealthy clans and national people, to attack Izumi Castle, as long as we can complete the set goal, then Satsuma Province will completely fall into the hands of my Kuroda family, and our mission this time will be completely completed. ”

"I see! Since this is the case, I don't think there is any need to worry about it, and it is better to march first. Goto said at this time.

"Oh! Don't worry, do you? It's just that Goto-sama said this? Ite, Tomokiyoshi said suspiciously.

"Idate-sama, this is actually very simple, our goal is to occupy the land of the former Ryogari family in Kita-Satsuma Province, not to attack the Kitahara family and destroy it. The current situation here is indeed very confusing, but what the specific situation is, we don't know yet, I also said it before, what I just said is just speculation, and the specific situation still depends on the Lingjia Home City to be determined.

The castle of the Hishigari family is the core of the leadership of this territory, and we don't know the actual situation of the Kitahara family right now, so why don't we go there and see the actual situation. Even if they coerced a large number of people, but in the previous battle of Gao Qianho Mountain, the Kitahara family lost nearly half of its soldiers, and it can be said that its elite suffered heavy losses, and now it must be a lack of elite soldiers. And how strong the combat effectiveness of these patchwork can be is a very real question, not to mention that these people are still left over by the Shimazu family, and the situation should be much worse than that of ordinary peasant soldiers. Goto said.

"Hmmm! Goto-sama, what you said is good, maybe I really thought too much, so the whole army quickly went to the Ryoshika Home City. However, there is still one thing to be aware of, that is, the terrain in this area is extremely complicated, and we must be careful of the possible ambush of the Kitahara family. ”

"This has been ordered before I go down." Goto said.

"Hmmm! At the same time, we should also send more scouts when marching, cooperate with the brothers of Tongxin, expand the scope of investigation as much as possible, and remind everyone to be cautious at all times, avoid possible ambushes of the Beiyuan family, and reduce unnecessary losses. ”

"Hey! I understand it later, and I'll go back and convey the instructions of the adults. Goto said after a bow.

After Goto Kikuni finished speaking, Imate Tomokiyoshi found that Goto Kikuni, who was supposed to go back to the rear team to deliver the message, was still riding a horse at this time, falling into the position of half of his horse's body, and did not return directly to the rear team, and it seemed that he still had something to say.

"Goto-sama, is there anything else you can do?" Ite, Tomokiyoshi asked suspiciously.

"Hey! I do have one thing I want to tell you, but I have the same concerns. Goto Kikuni hesitated for a moment, but then spoke.

"Oh! If there is anything, adults may wish to speak up and listen to it. Tomokiyoshi Ide said.
