Chapter 17 Target Kawakami Castle

"It turns out that there is such a passage, I didn't know before. It's really good, and this time, thanks to the guidance of adults, if you can really enter Wakasa country, you will be the first to do it. Takeda Motomitsu said excitedly.

"Your Excellency, this is what should be done." Naito Chikuzen Mamoru said respectfully, in fact, he was already happy in his heart, because if it was really like what Takeda Motomitsu said could make him the first merit, the reward of the Kuroda family would definitely not be less, and the reward from the Kuroda family was definitely something that he had never dared to imagine in his life before.

It's just that Naito Chikuzen Mamoru didn't know that Takeda Motomitsu actually lied again, after Takeda Motomitsu's father died, Takeda Motomitsu had been thinking about revenge after leaving Wakasa Country before. Even though he became a homeless ronin, he never thought about avenging his father.

And if you want to take revenge, his enemy is the lord of Wakasa country, and the first step is to take Wakasa country, only in this way can he take revenge on his fellow clansman Takeda Motoaki as an enemy, because Takeda Yoshitomi has been dead for many years, and the moon is full, and the father and son will pay it back, and Takeda Motomitsu can only find Takeda Motoaki to take revenge.

It is precisely because of this that he has been wandering between several Ryoji countries in the vicinity of Wakasa Province as a ronin all these years, in order to be able to keep inquiring about Wakasa Country and understand all the mountains and rivers around Wakasa Country. So for the entire Wakasa country of the periphery of the road, that is all well known, how can you not know that there is such a road, his words are to put it bluntly is a temptation of Naito Chikuzen Mamoru.

So Takeda Motomitsu actually already knew that path for a long time, and in order to further test Naito Chikuzen Mamoru, he just asked casually, but the other party did a good job. Even without Naito Chikuzen, Takeda Motomitsu was able to lead his team through that small valley and unexpectedly appear in Wakasa Province.

Of course, in the previous time, Takeda Motomitsu didn't dare to go in Wakasa Country, after all, he was a child of a thief, if he went to Wakasa Country, basically as long as he was caught, he would definitely die after that, and there could be no second possibility.

The reason why he raised this question was to further test Naito Chikumae Mamoru to see if he was really committed to the Kuroda family, after all, with some interests, he could make a decision to abandon his master's family. If it is possible to easily abandon the Oda family for the sake of profit, then it is very possible to abandon himself and the Kuroda family at any time for the sake of their own interests and safety.

Takeda Motomitsu knew that Naito Chikuzen Mamoru was a person who was very good at hiding his thoughts, and he couldn't be too relieved, otherwise he might follow in his father's footsteps, and he wouldn't be able to cry when the time came.

Takeda Motomitsu and Naito Chikumae Mamoru discussed the entire plan, and they made some additions and plans to each other, but the two of them didn't actually say much, so after agreeing, the two took three hundred men and horses and headed towards the hidden valley.

The team of more than 300 people soon arrived at that valley, and Takeda Motomitsu had only been here once, and it was a long time ago, so the impression was actually not deep.

Now at a glance, I found that this valley is a very dangerous place, the valley is deep and narrow, the mountains on both sides are high, the only trouble is that the valley is full of thorns, you must use weapons to forcibly open a road to be able to pass, and even so, there are definitely not many people who can pass at one time, the path of the valley is only allowed to two people at most, the current situation is actually only able to pass through one person, three hundred people want to pass here, it still takes a lot of time.

Takeda Motomitsu's choice of this path is actually gambling, he doesn't know if the Oda family is prepared for this valley, and he is also betting that Naito Chikumae Mamoru has completely changed his mind, and his position has fallen from the Oda family to the Kuroda family. Otherwise, with the situation in the valley, even if only a hundred people are arranged here, if it is deliberate and prepared in advance, they will definitely not be able to get out.

Takeda Motomitsu has been nervously looking at the surrounding environment since he led people into this small uninhabited valley, looking at the mountains on both sides to see if there is anything unusual, whether there is a shaking light and shadow, and whether there are any birds that suddenly fly up and hovering and dare not fall.

At the same time, Takeda Motomitsu took the lead, as the first pioneer of the team, constantly observing the situation on both sides, and also needed to concentrate on cutting the thorns and weeds in front of him, kicking away small stones and falling branches, fortunately, he used the Kuroda family's special 100-slashing iron katana, otherwise it would have been broken a long time ago.

When the last soldier walked out of the valley, Takeda Motomitsu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down directly on the ground, seemingly safe.

Coming to the land of Wakasa Province and stepping on the land where he was born and raised, Takeda Motomitsu gritted his teeth, thinking in his heart that when he came back this time, he must mix it up, and he must let the world know the power of the Wakasa Takeda clan again, and he must let the world know the name of Takeda Motomitsu.

Takeda Motomitsu did not quickly attack a certain target, but first sent a few subordinates to contact a few nearby small wealthy clans and countrymen, these people were all under the command of his father, and they were all greatly punished by the head of the Takeda family in Wakasa Province because of the rebellion.

However, this kind of punishment, not only did not make these families grateful to Dade, but also had a grudge against the Takeda family, and now the original young master has mixed up some status in the Kuroda family, they immediately found the backbone of the main body, and decided to gamble with him, they were already miserable, in case the bet wins, there is hope to rise, of course, they are not interested in Takeda Motomitsu, but the strength of the Kuroda family behind him.

The soldiers sent out by Takeda Motomitsu were the children of these families, and they were sent by them for Takeda Motomitsu to drive.

The next day, a total of 200 people from the five wealthy families came to Takeda Motomitsu's location and joined him, and the team of 500 people finally moved under the leadership of Takeda Motomitsu.

Their target is not far from Kawakami Castle, which is one of the grain transit points for the Oda family's army, and the granary closest to the Oda family's army, so its importance is self-evident.

Kawakami Castle currently has 100 soldiers of the Oda family, and the defender is the Tsukuo Shobei Shige, a general under the command of Akechi Mitsuhide.
