"Tell the lord, I just got the news from the outside, and now the situation of my family is very critical. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoKamiwada Castle of the Okubo family is being besieged by the followers of the Ichikoshi sect, and the same is true of Nishikawa Castle of the Saigo family. In addition, Matsudaira Nobutshige and Matsudaira Konsei were unfortunately taken by the rebels in the field battle, and Okubo Tadayuki of the Okubo family led 30 cavalry into battle with the intention of breaking up the Ichijo clan outside Kamiwada Castle, but was ambushed by Ichijo Sect outside Kamiwada and attacked by iron cannons. ”

Now he is just fifteen years old, after Matsudaira Motoyasu occupied Ansei City, Sakakihara Yasumasa, who had just been in his original clothes, was wearing red feet at this time, kneeling on one knee, he looked at Matsudaira Motoyasu and said with some hesitation. After all, all he got was not good news, and he was also a little apprehensive, not knowing if Matsudaira Motoyasu would go crazy.

Incidentally, everything else is done according to history, but Okubo Tadayuki did not die in history. According to historical records, after the outbreak of Mikawa Ichijo, Okubo Tadayuki went out as one of the 36 horsemen of the Mikawa Okubo Party, and was attacked by an iron cannon in the waist and fell off his horse and was injured, and from then on it was not very convenient even on foot. To put it bluntly, I was a little injured and my legs and feet were inconvenient, but at least I didn't die!

But the current situation is that this unlucky ghost still went out of the city to wander, but died directly outside the city, which is obviously different from history.

It's actually very simple, because this time Mikawa has always been the same, and the Kuroda family has already laid out in advance and participated. If you sneak attack, the iron cannon is a good thing, and the Kuroda family doesn't have a lot of iron cannons, and they can even produce their own, but they don't have a large area of installation.

And when it comes to sneak attacks, and they use iron cannons to sneak attacks, there are quite a few good players among the concentric people of the Kuroda family. Close-range sneak attack shooting, for people who have been using iron cannons for a long time, basically will not miss, so the coquettish Okubo Tadayuki became the first samurai of the Matsudaira family to die under the Kuroda family's assassination plan.

"Hmm!"

Regarding the information that Sakakihara Yasumasa said, Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't seem to hear it, but he just agreed, and still sat there, unmoved, and there was no trace of nervousness on his face.

But Matsudaira Motoyasu's calmness really infected the retainers present, and everyone who was originally impatient after hearing the unfavorable news quieted down. Maybe they're thinking, you see that even the lord is so confident that he will definitely not lose to his opponent this time, and he can't perform too badly!

"Lord, there are still more than a thousand people in the city at this time, why don't we take advantage of the killing generals to go out now, take the old nest of the bald donkeys, and then kill them cleanly." Sitting next to Sakakihara Yasumasa, Honda Tadakatsu, who was only seventeen years old, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

"Yahachiro, my own brother has just passed away, and in terms of hatred for the Ichizong, I am definitely far better than you. However, the Sect has gathered more than 30,000 disciples at present, including many of the previous samurai and elite standing forces of the family, as well as hostile wealthy forces. If the family fights at this time, they are now in full swing, and they will definitely fulfill the wishes of the bald donkeys. But they were in a hurry, and they didn't have much equipment to attack the city, so they could just pass through the cage city and frustrate their spirit, and then it was not too late to try to fight in the field. Okubo Tadashi retorted.

Moreover, Okubo Tadashi's statement is indeed the best choice for the Matsudaira family in Anxiang City now, after all, the gap between the number of enemies and friends is too big, coupled with the rebellion of many retainers, this side of the sect still has a certain amount of combat effectiveness. Coupled with the death of his brother Tadayuki Okubo, his account is very convincing.

Defend Anxiang Castle first, and when the other party can't attack for a long time, when the numerical advantage of Ichisuzu will be transformed into a huge pressure on logistics, whether it is a shortage of food and grass supply, or a decline in morale, the Matsudaira family will have a chance to defeat the army of Ichijosu, and it is true that what Okubo Tadashi said is a safe method.

"Hmmm! What Okubo-sama said was the right way, so according to what the lord said, defend the castle first, and then talk about the rest. Take advantage of this time to rest, the battle of your family may be extremely difficult in the future. However, my lords, as long as the family can survive this crisis, the family will sweep away most of the hostile forces in the Mikawa country, and the unification of the Mikawa country will be just around the corner. And not only the Mikawa family, but also the Imagawa family is currently weak, and when the time comes, it may be possible to obtain the Suruga country from the Imagawa family, and you will inevitably be rewarded at that time. Matsudaira Motoyasu suddenly said in a loud voice.

"Suruga Province! That's the most fertile land! "Yes! You must guard the peaceful city" "Indeed, there is absolutely nothing wrong with following the lord. ”

"Alright, everyone, let's go back first!" Matsudaira Motoyasu knocked on the floor and asked everyone to go down and rest first, since it has been decided to cage the city, there is nothing to discuss, just prepare everything to defend the city, these can be arranged later.

After everyone left, Matsudaira Motoyasu found that Torii Mototada had no intention of leaving, and he knew that Torii Mototada must have something to say.

"Yuan Zhong, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Matsudaira Motoyasu looked at this important minister who had been following him, and said in a soothing tone.

"Will the lord's family really survive the crisis this time?" Torii Mototada said with some hesitation.

"Of course," Matsudaira Motoyasu said categorically, looking at him.

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, as long as we do our own thing, and God will decide the rest!" Matsudaira Motoyasu suddenly said something that was a little inspiring.

"What about the rebellious retainers?" Torii Mototada asked again, after all, it is impossible for the Matsudaira family to kill all these samurai who participated in the rebellion!

"As long as you are willing to come back in the end, come back! According to their level of involvement, it would be good to confiscate some land, and these samurai of the Three Rivers Country are the hope for the future of my Matsudaira family. Matsudaira Motoyasu said with some frustration, maybe only in front of Torii Mototada, he would show such an appearance.

"Hmmm! Thank you, I already understand. Torii Mototada bowed to Matsudaira Motoyasu.

"Then go and rest!" Matsudaira Motoyasu said gently.

"Hey!"

After Mototada Torii left, Motoyasu Matsudaira was still sitting there, looking out of the Imperial Pavilion opposite, because the weather was good, and the sky was blue today.

"I hope God bless the Matsudaira family!" Matsudaira Motoyasu said suddenly, and then opened his eyes, with a determined look in his eyes, and got up and went back to the backyard, maybe it's not bad to find a person to build a mountain hall at this time, what if you get an heir?
