Chapter 149: Kuroda's Worries

Now Kuroda Ritaka and Kuroda Toshinori, who are the key training objects of the Kuroda family, are trapped in the castle valley, and Kuroda Vocational High School is very afraid that something will happen to them. The two sides are now in a state of non-stop, and there are only 1,000 people under Kuroda Toshitaka's command, which is far less than the number of people on the Otomo family's side, and he would have given Kuroda 3,000 people to Kuroda Ritaka if he knew it.

Even if Kuroda is given 3,000 people, they are still not the opponent of the castle, but at least their lives should not be worried, and the current situation is that they are probably not the opponent of the castle, and the personal force of the castle can determine the outcome of the battle in this era.

If Kuroda Toshiko can escape all of them and bring out most of the soldiers, it will be the best result that Kuroda can think of at the moment. If it is a little worse, it means that one or two of the five people were killed or wounded, and the soldiers were killed and wounded heavily.

The worst result was that they were all killed, and at worst, they were captured by the enemy, and they were also used as a means of threatening the Kuroda family. And in Kuroda Vocational High School's understanding, this situation is the most likely to occur, because it is definitely not an accident that Toji Kan even the countrymen of Chikuzen Province appeared here, it should have been discussed with the castle town, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.

And the most strange thing for Kuroda is that he sent Miyata Mitsuji to lead 5,000 men and horses to attack the western part of Bunzen Province, why didn't he notice it when the 5,000 men and horses of Toji Kenren and Kiusu Zhenxu arrived?

In fact, as early as when the Kuroda family was preparing to launch an operation against the Shiroi family, the 5,000 men and horses of Toji Kenren and Kiusu Zhenxu had already entered the Bunzen country, which was three days ago, and all of this was from the hand of the fruitful layman, and at that time, he had not yet died to Kokura Castle to find trouble with Kuroda's vocational high school, and the murder was not successful. That's why they were able to unexpectedly appear in the middle of Kuroda Toshitaka and Kuroda Vocational High Army, and the time was just right.

As for the fruit heart monk himself, that was what he did before, although he had decided to surrender to the Kuroda family, but he was a principled person, and what he did when he didn't join the Kuroda family before was to repay the favor of the Otomo family, so even if it would have a bad impact on the Kuroda family, he would never say it. That's why it's the situation now, and Kuroda Vocational High School doesn't know about it.

As long as they can hold Kuroda Ritaka and Kuroda Toshinori, they seem to be able to negotiate terms with the Kuroda family, even if the Kuroda family is absolutely impossible to agree to the conditions of the Otomo family, they can also kill these two core figures of the Kuroda family in front of the Kuroda family, which is definitely not a small blow to the Kuroda family's army, this is what Kuroda Vocational High School is most worried about.

To tell the truth, he is not afraid that the other party's actions will hit the morale of the Kuroda family's army, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and death is inevitable, the soldiers of the Kuroda family have long had such ideological and political education, and Kuroda Vocational High School is most afraid of a blow to his reputation.

The reputation of this era is still very important, for example, our Uesugi JJ-sama, who killed people and set fires, slaughtered the whole city, and did not do less slave trade, but killing a few people was really not a fact in that era, but because he had always obeyed his own righteousness, he became a semi-mythical figure in later generations.

Another example is our "Killing Sekihaku" Toyotomi Hideji, what is the reason why he received this title that almost means heinous? The reason for this is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has his own heir, so there is no need for this former heir who occupies the position. So he launched a public opinion attack, saying that he was inconsiderate of living beings, wantonly killing, and misbehaved.

And what did he actually do? It's nothing more than hunting or something, wasn't it as common for samurai in those days to go out hunting as drinking plain water? Why is it heinous?

Therefore, the influence of public opinion on the surface still has a great impact on one, just like many unscrupulous media nowadays, for the sake of ratings, always want to make big news, regardless of the truth or falsehood of the event, it is to send it out in the most eye-catching way first, or even a headline party, a 200-word news story is accompanied by 50 pictures to deceive the number of clicks, and the most odious thing is to completely ignore the impact of their statements on the exposed people.

In such an era, after almost all the news is transmitted, it is guided by public opinion behind it, even if it is the news of the commercial house, you can't distinguish the authenticity and objectivity of the news, let alone the news that has been passed on by various famous people, it is absolutely seven points false and three points true.

If Kuroda Toshitaka and Kuroda Toshinori were killed by the Otomo family in front of Kuroda Vocational High School, even if the Kuroda family defeated Shiroi Valley and killed all the participants in the end, what would Kuroda Vocational High School's reputation be on the outside? will definitely leave a ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless, no pity for his brother, deliberately killed his brother's reputation, even if the people do their best, it will be difficult to restore Kuroda's reputation.

Therefore, Kuroda Vocational High School can only hope that his arrangement can be effective when he can't pass Taise Castle for the time being, and Kuroda Ritaka and they can all survive until the end of the battle.

"Hanzo, where are the Hundred Ground Tanba-sama?" Kuroda asked suddenly.

"Lord, I should have arrived at Kuroda Toshitaka and them, and I ask my lord to feel at ease for the two Kuroda-sama." Hattori Masanari knew that Kuroda was worried about his brother, so he admonished him.

"Hmmm! That's good...... That's good......"

Hattori Masari has never seen Kuroda Vocational High School so worried about anything, and even seems a little unassertive, you must know that Hattori Masari has followed Kuroda Vocational High School since he was seven years old, even at that time, Kuroda Vocational High School is very mature and steady, and has never behaved like this, it seems that this time it is indeed a bit tricky, mainly related to the two big men of the Kuroda family, I hope they can turn evil into good fortune!

And in the castle valley on the other side of Takase Castle, the army led by Kuroda Toshitaka also ran into trouble, because the castle town house came.

With 3,000 men under his command, Joi Jinbo directly surrounded Kuroda Toshitaka's troops and launched a fierce attack, not preparing to play any conspiracy.

Because the current army of Kuroda Vocational High School is blocked by Takase Castle, it can't enter the castle valley at all, so this force of 1,000 people, the castle town house is bound to win.
