While Yoshikawa Motoharu was still preparing for the assembly in Izumo Province, Sanada Masayuki had already taken Tanabe Nagatomsune, Sugiyama Weizu, and Sugiyama Weichang, as well as two thousand elite standing soldiers of the Kuroda family, through Mimasaka Province, entered Nita Prefecture in Izumo Province, and met Yamanaka Yumori at Mikawayama Castle on the border of Nito County and Iiishi County.

However, at the request of Sanada Masayuki, he still met with Yamanaka Yukimori first. The place where the two met was chosen in an inconspicuous valley near Mikawa Mountain Castle, and the 2,000 members of the Kuroda family hid behind the valley floor and did not show up for the time being.

After seeing the rather heroic Yamanaka Yukimori, Sanada Masayuki took the initiative to greet him and said, "In the Shimokuroda family, Sanada Masayuki, I have met Yamanaka-sama. ”

"Sanada-sama is the right military commander of the Kuroda family, a man of great wisdom and resourcefulness who is famous in the western country, and has been known for a long time in the descent of the mountain." Yamanaka Yukimori said with a smile.

"Yamanaka-sama is almost single-handedly guarding the remaining land of Izumo Province for the Niko family, and there is hardly any support from the main family. In such a situation, it is possible to defeat Yoshikawa Motoharu's attack, which is the ability! My lord is really worthy of being a powerful samurai who has been remembered by the young master of the family! ”

"Okay, let's not say such polite words!" As soon as Yamanaka Yukimori heard the mention of Kuroda Vocational High School, his face immediately changed slightly and he changed the subject.

Yamanaka Yukimori knows that Kuroda Vocational High School has always admired himself very much, even the kind of appreciation that will not change, as long as he is willing, maybe Kuroda Vocational High School will accept him immediately. But he knew that he couldn't do that, because he was born as a retainer of the Nizi family, and he couldn't allow himself to change this, he felt that this was his own fate, a fate that could not be changed.

Although his idea is a little ridiculous, especially in this troubled era of the Warring States period, which is almost rude and shameless, this is the dignity of Yamanaka Yukimori as a samurai, the belief that he guards as a retainer of the Niko family, and the reason why Kuroda has always admired him so much.

If he is really like other so-called samurai, just because the Kuroda family has become stronger, and he has a faint overlord posture, he immediately posted it, and Kuroda Vocational High School will definitely take him in, but whether he still dares to reuse him, it is really hard to say.

"Hey! This time, I came here to deal with the attack of Yoshikawa Motoharu's 7,000 troops together with Yamanaka-sama, and we really need to discuss it carefully! Regarding the change in Yamanaka Yumori's tone and expression, Sanada Masayuki completely saw it,

"That's true, the Maori family has a total of more than 20,000 people in battle this time, and you said that there will be 7,000 people from Yoshikawa Motoharu all the way in Sanin, is this news reliable?" Yamanaka asked.

"It's as reliable as the news that the family knows that the Niko family is in Izumo Province and that there are more than 1,580 people under the command of adults." Sanada Masayuki said with the corners of his mouth curled.

"Fifteen hundred and eighty, right?" Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes narrowed, because the number reported by Sanada Masayuki was almost no different from the number that Yamanaka Yukimori himself knew.

"Do you believe it now?"

"Go on!" Yamanaka Yumori said coldly, after all, he was still a little unhappy that his hole cards had been clearly known by the Kuroda family.

"I brought 2,000 people here this time, hoping that we can work with adults to sincerely unite and resist Yoshikawa Motoharu's attack together." Sanada Masayuki said disapprehantly.

"That's natural, resisting Yoshikawa Motoharu was originally a mission, even if the Kuroda family didn't send an adult to come, I, Yamanaka Yuimori, would have taken my brothers to resist desperately."

"Wouldn't it be better to have our help?"

"That's true, in that case, do Sanada-sama have any plans for coming this time?" Yamanaka asked.

"I suggest that my lord do not tell your subordinates the news that my Kuroda family has two thousand elites coming, and it is better to carry out the actions of this family in secret." Sanada said.

"What do you mean, sir?" Yamanaka asked.

"There are Maori spies in the army of the Nizi family, and this number is not one or two."

"Do you know who they are?" Yamanaka said with a frown.

He is very aware of the fact that there are Maori spies among the people he recruits, but he himself doesn't know how many Maori spies there are in the army, maybe three or five, or maybe more than ten, these are all uncertain.

Since there are Maori spies among the people he recruits, then there must be concentric members of the Kuroda family, or ordinary intelligence officers, otherwise the Kuroda family would not know his military situation so well.

"All I can say is that I know most of them, and maybe some I don't know." Sanada said.

"Tell me the list." Yamanaka said.

"I'm afraid this won't work, if I give you the list, once you go to arrest someone, as long as even one of the Maori family spies escapes the capture, then it will inevitably startle the snake, so I hope that the mountain lord will understand."

"Then when Yoshikawa Motoharu comes, how are you going to fight against the Maori army with my Niko family? You must know that Yoshikawa Motoharu brought 7,000 people this time, which is not child's play. ”

"We must enter the camp before we can give Yoshikawa Motoharu a surprise attack."

"This is strange, since Sanada-sama said that your actions are confidential this time, and there are many Maori family spies in my army, and now you say that you want to go to the military camp below, don't you think this is very contradictory?" Yamanaka said.

"No, Yamanaka-sama, it's not a contradiction at all." Sanada said with a smile.

"Isn't that a contradiction?" Yamanaka Yukimori looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise, if he didn't know that this young man was the military advisor of the Kuroda family, he was definitely a wise man, he would definitely think of him as a fool!

But at this time, Yamanaka Yumori was a little surprised that there was an undoubted confidence on this young man's face, that kind of confidence he had seen before, on Kuroda Zhigao's face, on Kuroda Zhitaka's face, and even on the faces of Kuroda's close attendants, small surnames, ordinary city gate guards, and ordinary people.

That is self-confidence from the heart, which may be a kind of temperament, a kind of self-confidence from the heart that has been cultivated for a long time.
