After the Kuroda family captured Maruyama Castle, the army rested in the castle for a while, and then re-took Tottori Castle again, and at the same time divided the army into two routes, one with 2,000 men led by Kodera Ichitaka himself, and the first to capture Takakusa-gun, and 1,000 men along the way to sweep Eum-gun.

In the current Inaba Province, where both the Yamana and Takeda clans were destroyed, the two groups traveled very smoothly, and three days later they converged not far from Kano Castle on the border of Takakusa and Kita. And a day later, more than 1,000 people led by Matsui Shigetaka also rushed to meet here.

In Zhitou County, Matsui Shigetaka encountered some small troubles, and several small wealthy families who wanted to take refuge in the Niko family may feel that the Niko family is an old famous family after all, and it is more reliable than the Kuroda family, so they gathered more than 300 troops to ambush Matsui Shigetaka's army.

But they don't know that the Kuroda family itself likes to play ambushes the most, how can they be easily fooled, they don't move all the way to lure the enemy, and the main force detours all the way to the back of the mountain, when the little wealthy people find that the Kuroda family's rattan banner appears behind them, they know that the big thing is not good, there is a great chaos, and they are attacked by the Kuroda family on both sides, and almost all the troops are wiped out, at least the descendants of several families are not left.

The Kuroda family is actually willing to accept these little wealthy families, after all, they can provide a steady stream of high-quality soldiers, and through the study class, as long as they control their heirs, the Kuroda family is not afraid of anything. But these few small wealthy families who are not self-sufficient not only want to be two or five boys, but also be so blatant, you don't need to discuss how much the Kuroda family destroys you.

After that, Matsui Shigetaka led people to sweep away the castles of these small wealthy families, and burned the castles, as for the people, they were handed over to the followers to pacify! The descendants of these wealthy families must be cut down and eradicated.

Other old and sick people were erased by humanity, and the young men who remained would devote themselves to the great cause of building the Kuroda family's society, and the young women would be rewarded to samurai and ashigaru who had made meritorious contributions in battle, such as Matsui Shigetaka, who personally selected a beautiful woman for the Ota Hara Muneki as a side room.

Because Matsui Shigetaka needed to pacify the unwillingness to subdue the forces in the two counties of Yagami and Chito, it took one more day than Kodera to arrive, but because the area of the two counties of Yagami and Chitou was larger. And the terrain is complicated, and there are many small joint battles, so purely in terms of speed, Matsui Shigetaka's army is actually a little faster than Kotera Zhigao.

After the three armies converged, the number reached 4,000, and if they really wanted to attack Kita-gun, if the Niko family did not send reinforcements, they should not be able to resist for long.

After the three of Tachihara Hisatsuna retreated from the battle of Koyamachi, they saw the strength of the Kuroda family, and also knew the power of the Kuroda family's firearms, so they were a little timid for a while, so they could only turn back to Katsuyama Castle first to reorganize the army, and Tachihara Hisatsuna sent Yamanaka Yukimori to lead the three hundred Nikko family troops into Kano Castle to monitor the movements of the Kuroda family, and Tachihara Hisatsuna was ready to withdraw from Inaba Province at the same time.

Yamanaka Yumori is a young man who became famous, and the name of the Izumo deer is said to be known to no one in the two ways of yin and yang, but now this Izumo deer is on the deer no castle, looking at the Kuroda family army not far from the city, shaking his head and sighing.

The Kuroda family's camp is very orderly, and it is estimated that only a few people will pay attention to this, and the Kuroda family's army is no less than three thousand, and the Kuroda family's army should have gathered here.

He already knew the news of the complete annihilation of the fifty iron cannons of his family's army two days ago, after all, this is a great matter for the Nizi family, and it is impossible to hide it. And he knew that the Kuroda family had a hundred iron cannons, and there were a hundred iron cannons on the other side, and Yamanaka Yukimori, who knew a lot about this kind of sharp weapon, basically had no hope of defending the city.

Yamanaka Yumori is a proud person in his bones, but pride does not mean conceit, he is still self-aware, and his three hundred people do not have any long-range attack means. The number of Kuroda's army is at least three times that of his own, and there are also a hundred iron cannons, I wonder how many of the Kuroda family's famous crossbow ashigaru came? Yamanaka Yukimori smiled bitterly again.

If this really starts, if you stick to this place, Kano Castle, you are the deer of Izumo, does it mean that the deer died in the wild? That's a good sign! Even if you die, you will become a samurai! Yamanaka Yumori thought crankily.

At this time, Yamanaka Yukimori, who had been looking in the direction of the Kuroda family, noticed that there was a figure moving from the Kuroda family's camp to Kano Castle, and there was only one person. When the man came to a hundred paces from the city, he stood still, and the ashigaru people in the city were very nervous and ready to kill.

"At the Shimokuroda family, Takasan Yamamoto, I hope to see Yamanaka Yukimori-sama in the city."

After Yamamoto Takaquan finished speaking, Yamanaka Yukimori was a little surprised, why did the Kuroda family know that they were here? To know that you have just arrived here, the Kuroda family already knows about the personnel transfer of the Niko family, which is simply terrifying.

"Kaejo, let Yamamoto-sama in." Yamanaka said.

"In the Shimokuroda family, Yamamoto Takatsu, I have seen Yamanaka Yukimori, the young master of the family, Koji Zhigao, since he knew that the Niko family sent troops, but he has been thinking about Yamanaka-sama! It is said that the master is the first samurai of the Niko family. Ryūquan Yamamoto looked very respectful.

"Oh! Is that what Kotera said? It turns out that the Kirin of Harima Country, the heir of the Kuroda family, and the famous young wise general of Yin and Yang, looks at it this way, and it really can't afford it! Yamanaka said.

"Your Excellency is humble, isn't your adult also the Qilin'er of Sanyin, a warrior of wisdom and bravery?" Takahiro Yamamoto said with a smile.

"Okay, don't say that again, what is Yamamoto-sama doing here!" Yamanaka Yumori asked directly.

"The young master of the family hopes to be able to go down to Izumo and meet Izumo Taishou of the Niko family." Yamamoto said in a low voice, as if he was afraid that the wall would have ears.

"Meet your lord?" Yamanaka Yukimori said in surprise, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this genius young master of the Kuroda family, it stands to reason that now the Niko family and the Kuroda family are already in a frictional and hostile relationship.

"Exactly, the family hopes to be in harmony with the Nizi family, and after forming an alliance, they will jointly resist the attack of the Maori family, the Maori family is the enemy of our two families, and the Nizi family will not want to give up the yin and yang to the Maori family!" Takahiro Yamamoto said with a smile.

"I don't want to give up the yin and yang to the Kuroda family." Yamanaka Yumori said decisively.

"This ...... At least the enemy in front of the Niko family is still the Maori family! ”
