"Hey! Takayama-sama is right. Yamamoto nodded

"I just don't know what the Kuroda family will be if they want me to submit?"

"Lord Takayama, the lord of the family, Lord Kuroda Danmasa, admires you very much, and presumably the surrender conditions of the family, the adults should know more or less!" Takasan Yamamoto asked.

"Eighty percent of the land is kept, hostages and details are offered, and then it is transferred to another country, right?" The Takayama clan asked rhetorically

"Hey! On the surface, the conditions are indeed like this, but the lord can only keep sixty percent of the land of the Gao Shan family this time, but the lord has added a condition. ”

"What, only keep sixty percent, the Kuroda family is too bullying!" Watanabe Moritsuna, who was still smiling just now, immediately stood up and pulled out the katana at his waist.

"Watanabe-sama, please be calm." Yamauchi Kazutoyo, who was sitting on the side, quickly hugged Watanabe Moritsuna.

"Oh! Danmasa-sama added a condition for me, and asked Yamamoto-sama to make it clear. The Takayama clan ignored what his subordinates were doing, and instead asked Yamamoto Takatsu.

"The special condition that the lord has made public this time is that the Gao Shan family will become one of the old and important ministers of the family in the future."

"What ......" When Yamamoto Takatsu finished speaking, even the Takayama clan himself was very surprised.

Let the Takayama family become the elder of the Kuroda family, what kind of condition is this, it's not that this condition is bad, but this condition is too generous, even if he wants to reduce his land a little more, he is willing.

You must know that the Kuroda family currently has a general trend of sweeping the world, even if there is a little less land now, as long as you can wear an old man's hat and drink soup behind the Kuroda family's buttocks, the future of the Takayama family will be much better, and the Hida country is only a barren land of tens of thousands of stones, which can compare to the flower world outside.

"Is Yamamoto-sama serious?" Takayama asked.

"This is true, such a condition is set by the head of the family, Kuroda Danmasa himself, and he is just a messenger, so he doesn't dare to set such a condition without authorization."

"What do you think?" Although the Gao Shan Clan Sect already had an idea in his heart, he still asked the people around him.

"Everything is up to the Lord's decision." The five subordinates of the Gaoshan Clan Sect already knew what he meant, so they all bowed to him respectfully at this time.

"In that case, I, the Takayama family, have made a decision to work for the Kuroda family in the future." The Takayama clan said loudly.

"Takayama-sama has really made a wise decision, and I think that in a few years, Takayama-sama and all of you will not regret this decision!" Takasan Yamamoto bowed again.

So when the Shibata Katsu family, which was subordinate to the Oda family, was preparing to fight with Takatomo Musato on the Kuroda family's side, when he was fighting at Tsuruga Castle, a news suddenly came that made the Shibata Katsuya family feel nervous, that is, the Takayama clan of the Hida country rebelled, rebelled to the side of the Kuroda family, and took the 3,000 people under his command to attack the Echizen country, and now he has taken part of the land.

There is no other reason why the army of the Takayama family was able to attack so quickly, this is because Shibata Katsuya mobilized most of the troops in the entire Echizen national territory, all of them were mobilized, not to mention a famous general like the Takayama clan, at this time, even if it is a small wealthy clan and countryman with one or two hundred people, it can easily occupy a large area of land.

This situation is very dangerous for Shibata Katsuie, because Kuroda has actually formed a situation of flanking himself from front to back. He must make the most favorable decision in the shortest possible time, otherwise everything that belongs to him will be reduced to nothingness.

In the end, Shibata Katsuya decided to send Sasa Naruma to lead three thousand soldiers to resist the Takayama clan, and the ability of his son-in-law, Shibata Katsuya still knew very well, that was a scheming person, otherwise he would not have married his daughter to him. If you just send one or two thousand people, it is completely a big gift to him.

And on the other side, Musato Takatomo, Mori Takakei, Mori Motokiyo and others, including Yamanaka Yukimori, are all famous samurai of the Kuroda family.

Shibata Katsuya had to retain a lot of strength to resist their subsequent attack, mainly because they also had an army of 12,000 people in their hands, and they only left 12,000 people, and they might not even be able to defeat, and the combat effectiveness of his own hands He Shibata Katsuya was still very clear, and these people were not the opponent of Kuroda's 12,000 army.

Shibata Katsuie himself was a more traditional samurai, and since the two sides were definitely going to have a duel in the end, Shibata Katsuya sent an application to Musato Takayu in advance for a decisive battle, and the location of the decisive battle was outside Tsuruga Castle.

Previously, Shibata Katsuya hoped that he would resist the Kuroda family's attack by defending various castles in Tsuruga County. Because the army under the command of Shibata Katsuya was 15,000 at that time. It's just that in terms of combat effectiveness, there is still some gap between the military strength of Muri Longyou, and he is very clear about this. If you can hold back the Kuroda family, at least you will have some certainty that you will be able to hold the territory of Echizen Province.

But after the Takayama clan sent troops, Shibata Katsuya already had a strong sense of unease, because he knew the ability of the Takayama clan very well, after all, he was his son-in-law, and he made this political investment, that is, he took a fancy to the huge potential of the new stock of the Takayama clan.

Now the Takayama clan has begun to attack Shibata Katsuie's territory, and the road has been very smooth, Shibata Katsuya has sent 3,000 people to resist the disappearance of Takasan. But he doesn't have much confidence in Sazo Chengzheng.

Although Sasa Naruma is a famous fierce general of the Oda family, he also has a very big shortcoming, that is, he is easy to get angry, which is almost a common problem of many fierce generals, but it is particularly obvious in Sasa Narumasa.

For Sasa Narumasa, the Takayama clan is definitely no stranger, because he has a son-in-law relationship with the Shibata Katsu family, so in the entire Oda family, the Takayama clan has the most contact with the Shibata Katsu family, and it is also the most understanding.

It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for the Takayama clan to be unaware of Sasa Narumasa's shortcomings, but under the current situation, Shibata Katsuya has no better way but to let him go to resist the attack of the Takayama clan.

Shibata Katsuie's only hope for Sasa Seimasa is that he will be able to resist the Takayama clan for more time. [.]
