Musato Takatomo has been by Kuroda's side since he was a child, and although his military strategy has not been good so far, it doesn't mean that he is a simple-minded person. At the same time, because of Kuroda's profound influence on him, he attaches great importance to the opinions of others, especially the opinions of military strategy, and now it can be said that Takeda Motomitsu has impressed him.

When Takeda Motomitsu proposed the tactics of sneak attack around the rear before, Takayu Musato didn't have too much hope, although he agreed with Takeda Motomitsu's idea, but he actually didn't give too much hope, to put it bluntly, it was just to invest a little bet to gamble on a game, not really support Takeda Motomitsu.

Now Takeda Motomitsu has told Takayu Musato with practical actions, and he has also told the Kuroda family that he is a very capable samurai and a samurai who can be trusted. Through the information obtained by the concentric people, although there are not many places occupied by Takeda Motomitsu at present, the entire Oda family's back road in Wakasa Province has been completely cut off, and this is the ability of Takeda Motomitsu to show his trustworthiness to the Kuroda family.

Of course, this situation of being cut off from the back road is only temporary, not that it can't be reversed, if the Kuroda family can't decisively send troops to entangle this branch of the Oda family, or if Akechi Mitsuhide can lead the Oda family's army and pass through Nosaka Castle calmly, then what Takeda Motomitsu did before actually doesn't make much sense.

You may say that if Takeda Motomitsu really forced Akechi Mitsuhide back to Yamashiro Province in this way, wouldn't the Kuroda family also get the entire Wakasa Province?

Wakasa country is actually a very barren place, mountainous land, and little farmland, not conducive to farming, poor materials, people's livelihood withered, in addition to the important geographical location, holding the throat of the northern part of the mountain city country, Wakasa country is not a good choice of territory, the stone height of tens of thousands of stones is really not indispensable to the Kuroda family.

For the Kuroda family, in fact, no matter where it is, land is secondary, and the most important thing is to be able to gain strength, and the Kuroda family has never cared about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and being able to strengthen their own strength is the first place. This is also a point that Kuroda Vocational High School has always emphasized, as long as people are still there, there is still hope. The loss of some land is only temporary, as long as you are strong, you can take it back sooner or later.

For Takeda Motomitsu's plan, even if Musato Takayu supported him, he was still a little worried before, but when Takeda Motomitsu had successfully broken into Wakasa Province and had already choked the throat behind Akechi Mitsuhide, Musato Takatsumi decided that he should also talk to Takeda Motokomi and use his current value to gamble.

Mother Sato Takayu has been with Kuroda Vocational High School for more than ten years, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is actually very affected by Kuroda Vocational High School, such as his cautious personality now, many of which are derived from Kuroda Vocational High School, but he has never had the opportunity to show it, and the world has not had the opportunity to know.

Not long ago, when Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka first came here, he led his men to fight with them, but these two people together were really like loaches, no matter how hard they tried to deal with it, they were damaged in the end. He wanted to show his ability in front of Kuroda Vocational High School, but it seemed that he had found the wrong opponent, and if he came with a random Oda family's legion, the consequences might not be the same as at that time.

Therefore, according to Goto Kiji's suggestion, Musato Takatomo finally chose to stick to the camp, anyway, his side is only a separate battlefield for the Kuroda family and the Oda family to fight, even if he defeats the opponent, he can't deal too much damage to the Oda family.

However, after Takayu Musato chose to defend this path, it was indeed the only advantage of the Oda family, that is, the resourcefulness of Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka, and the two sides were temporarily in a balanced situation.

Now Takeda Motomitsu's progress has aroused the competitive spirit of Takatomo Musato, who is originally a person with his own pride, so he also hopes to be able to lead a legion of thousands of people under his command to face the army of the Oda family and play a beautiful attack. If they can intercept the wise Mitsuhide's army, it is the best, and if they can't, they will have to pay a certain price.

So Musato Takatomo immediately ordered the whole army to assemble, and sent all twenty Tongxin people as a priority, so that they could investigate the movements of the Oda family's army in advance, so as to avoid the sudden ambush like before, and to explore the unfamiliar terrain ahead.

Takayu Musato also instructed the Tongxin people to explore the valley that Takeda Motomitsu had passed through before, and if they could pass through the valley smoothly, then they could save half an hour on the road. In this half an hour, Musato Takayu can take his subordinates and catch up with Akechi Mitsuhide.

But at this time, Akechi Mitsuhide had already led people to the location of the former Kawakami Castle, which had been completely abandoned after it was captured by Takeda Motomitsu.

Even though two days had passed, Akechi Mitsuhide could still see very clearly the scene of the fierce battle in the castle, and there were traces of blood everywhere.

At that time, Wutian Yuanguang mainly took the soldiers to carry the grain and grass in the city of Kawashang, so he did not clean up the traces left by the battle.

And after that, the small wealthy families and people who came to distribute the grain, they mainly went to compete for food, who has the time to care about this.

However, fortunately, Takeda Motomitsu already knew some basic common sense on the battlefield in the Kuroda family, so he still told those small wealthy clans and countrymen to bury the bodies of the Oda family soldiers to avoid the plague.

For this point, the wealthy people and the people of the motherland still did it, after all, if there is a plague, the first unlucky person is themselves, not for others, but also for themselves.

Because it was time to flee for their lives, and time was very short, Akechi Mitsuhide only let everyone rest here for a while, and immediately asked to continue the march.

Of course, there are some old soldiers of the Oda family who are very disgusted by Akechi Mitsuhide's orders, but they themselves know that now is the time to flee for their lives, so they can only swallow their anger for the time being and follow the army to retreat quickly towards Yamashiro Province.

When Takayu Musato came out of the valley with his team, they weren't actually far away from Akechi Mitsuhide. The location they were in now was close to Kawakami Castle, and Kawakami Castle was only three or five miles away from Iga Valley Castle, which Akechi Mitsuhide had not yet reached.
