Yoshicho Ouchi, the new owner of Ginyama Castle in Aki Province, has already lost the vigor he had when he first entered Ginyama Castle, and he is not as calm as he was a few days ago, and he has heard that Ryosen Takatoyo haunts Date House, and how Ouchi Yoshinaga, who is familiar with Ryosen Takatoyo, does not know how difficult the situation he will face will be. There were only a few people in the small conference room of Silver Mountain Castle, and Ouchi Yoshinaga's eyes were bloodshot, and he said to Hirochu Takabao, who was also haggard: "Now that we are so haggard, I don't know if Mikawa Mamoru can negotiate peace with Date on the one hand, and attack him unprepared by surprise and win." Everyone looked at each other, secretly sighing that their lord was still trying to defeat Date Masei.

Hongzhong Takabao smiled bitterly, he didn't know Ouchi Yoshicho's thoughts.

Hongzhong Takabao was also unwilling to accept the current situation, but the current situation forced him to abandon his previous plan. If the brigade is nailed here, Ouchi Yoshitaka will calmly land on the mainland from Kyushu to the back of Ouchi Yoshinaga and launch a sneak attack, and Ouchi Yoshicho will inevitably fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy. What's more, if Ouchi Yoshitaka is allowed to return to his homeland, it is difficult to guarantee that the group of double-faced clowns will not change their doors again, and they can also win a reputation in Cao Ying's heart in Han, without the slightest shame.

Hongzhong Takabao smiled bitterly and said, "Even if the lord Shun Lì defeats Date Zhengheng and wins a big victory, what should I do?" At present, the total number of troops in Yasui has reached 20,000 to 30,000, and if you add the follow-up troops, it will be no less than 50,000. To eat the 50,000 people completely. I'm afraid it's going to contain most of us. The words that followed Hongzhong Takabao did not go on. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, all the people present are all heroes, how can you not guess the unfinished words of Hongzhong Takabao, but you just want to save a little bit of face of Yoshicho Ouchi.

Hongzhong Takabao's words, how can Yoshinaga Ouchi not understand.

In fact, he had such thoughts as early as when he sent troops to Silver Mountain City, but at that time, he was blinded by the good situation in front of him, who would have thought that Murakami's water army would be defeated so quickly, nor did he expect that it would be defeated so badly. It was so miserable that he was almost completely wiped out, and he had to face the dilemma he was most unwilling to encounter.

Ouchi Yoshicho rubbed his aching temples, looked at everyone and asked, "You really can't fight?" ”

Hongzhong Takabao smiled bitterly, everyone was speechless, even the most radical Jiang Liang Fang Rong closed his mouth, Jiang Liang Fang Rong's plan failed several times, if it weren't for Ouchi Yoshicho's hope that there would be someone who could balance the power of Hongzhong Takabao, I am afraid that he would have been expelled by Ouchi Yoshicho, but he could only sit down with him, and he had no right to speak alone.

Ouchi Yoshicho saw Eliang Fangrong, who wanted to speak and stopped. He was able to let Jiang Liang Fang Rong enter the small conference room, and he also had the intention of reusing Jiang Liang Fang Rong. Seeing Jiang Liang Fang Rong's appearance, he pointed at Jiang Liang Fang Rong and said, "What is your opinion?" ”

Everyone looked towards Jiang Liang Fang Rong, Hongzhong Longbao only frowned, there was no objection, Jiang Liang Fang Rong of course also noticed everyone's reaction, but he didn't hear it. Jiang Liang Fangrong knew that this was an opportunity for him to regain the reuse of Ouchi Yoshicho, not to mention that since he plotted the rebellion with Ouchi Yoshicho a few years ago, there was no way out, only to follow Ouchi Yoshicho to the end, and everyone who could enter the small conference room was the core person who followed Ouchi Yoshicho to raise troops and rebel back then, otherwise Ouchi Yoshicho would not have summoned these people to discuss secret matters.

Jiang Liangfang Rong responded and said, "The lord led a large army and hurried to An Yiguo in order to annihilate Date Yizheng in one fell swoop. But Date didn't plan to fight. If our army is held back by him, it will certainly be very unfavorable to our side. Therefore, we should negotiate peace with Date on the one hand, and select elite men on the other hand, led by a strong general, to take advantage of the unstable army coming from Kyushu to raid it, once the victory is achieved, the rear is stable, and when the time comes, it is not Date to decide whether to fight or peace. ”

Jiang Liang Fang Rong's meaning is very simple, but it is very in line with Ouchi Yoshinaga's character, from the battle of Yoshida County Mountain Castle in the ninth year of Astronomy, to the battle of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle that caused the defeat of the Ouchi army, and then to the later rebellion, all reflect his radical nature, which is also an important reason why Jiang Liang Fang Rong gets credit, and the two can often think of together.

Yoshicho Ouchi replied noncommittally.

Hongzhong Takabao also didn't speak, he knew that Jiang Liang Fang Rong's words had reached Ouchi Yoshinaga's heart, not to mention that no one else mentioned any objections, and obviously acquiesced in Jiang Liang Fang Rong's opinion, not to mention that Jiang Liang Fang Rong's method is the only feasible way now. Hongzhong Takabao's face was very ugly, but the faces of the people present now were not very good-looking, but no one noticed the change in his face and thought of other ideas.

Ouchi Yoshicho waved his hand, he was interested in Jiang Liang Fangei's mention, as Jiang Liang Fang Rong said, the only way for him to think was to stabilize Date Masahiro first, and then defeat Ouchi Yoshitaka's troops in one fell swoop, and then calmly turn back to fight with Date Masahiro, but how to stabilize Date Masahiro, but let Ouchi Yoshicho make it difficult, I don't know what to do?

Ouchi Yoshicho asked Jiang Liang Fang Rong and said, "Do you have any good ideas to stabilize Date Zhengheng?" ”

Jiang Liang Fang Rong obviously also thought of a countermeasure, and said calmly: "Yes, we can learn the news of Lengquan Takafeng from Hiraga Hirosho so calmly, it must have been deliberately spread by Date Masato, otherwise how could Hiraga Hiroshi have the courage to come and tell him." This must be that Date Masahiro also has the idea of peace, but he wants to get enough benefits, so that he can make a decision that he wants to negotiate peace quickly, there are no more than the following reasons, one is that the Date family has broken out rapidly, internal instability, once he leaves Bei China for a long time, the internal turmoil will outweigh the losses, and second, since he has obtained most of the territory of An Yi Country, he has the meaning of accepting it when he sees it, and third, I am afraid that Nizi Qingjiu is about to calm down the civil strife. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Liang Fang Rong lowered his head, obviously he still had some reasons not to continue.

Everyone present is a masterpiece, listening to what Jiang Liang Fang Rong said, after a little thought, they all nodded slightly, indeed as Jiang Liang Fang Rong said, Date Zhengheng has the trend of discussing peace, since Date Zhengheng also has the idea of peace, of course, Jiang Liang Fangrong's unfinished words, they can also guess a thing or two, it is nothing more than Date Zhengheng does not want Ouchi Yoshiko to seize the authority of the Ouchi family, but this reason does have some aspects that underestimate everyone present, and everyone is not deceiving themselves.

At this time, Ouchi Yoshicho said: "The matter of attacking Aki Province is as easy as a snap. Even if you can't get the full credit this time, if you want to attack it in the future, you can attack it at any time. Although I have gathered a large army here, I always feel uneasy when I drive my army towards Numata, and I always toss and turn. How about sending Hongzhong Takaho as an envoy now to meet Date Masahiro again? Wouldn't it be better if a peace treaty could be concluded on the terms to which we had agreed, and that would be the end for the time being? ”

Since Yoshicho Ouchi said this, no one objected. Everyone knows very well that Yoshicho Ouchi is such a person, as long as he says it, he can only do what he wants, but everyone also knows that Hongzhong Takabao is just a false and wrongful snake.

Hongzhong Takabao didn't expect that he would once again become the envoy of Ouchi Yoshicho to visit Date Masahiro, but before Hongzhong Takaho could answer, there was a rapid drum beat outside the conference room. Yoshicho Ouchi got up from the tatami mat and strode out of the room, the guards at the door looking ahead with nervous eyes.

The conference room is located on the mountainside of Ginzan Castle, and you can see the Ota River from the castle tower in front of the gate.

Yoshinaga Ouchi saw the enemy. From the distant horizon, a huge group of enemies slowly approached. The soldiers of Silver Mountain City almost heard the sound of alarm drums, and they swarmed onto the castle tower. Behind Ouchi Yoshicho, all the samurai also poured out, their faces were all extremely pale, and they were still talking in the conference room just now that Date Masahiro did not dare to send troops. The scene they saw now was like a loud slap in the face, making them all have a feeling of being in a different world, and Jiang Liang Fangrong's face was particularly pale.

The situation took a turn for the worse, flags of various colors depicting the family crest of the Date family fluttered in the wind, swords, guns and halberds were dazzling, and groups of infantry marched in a neat pace, and nearly a thousand cavalry lined up in a long queue, under the command of the loud and high trumpet, stepping on the staggered steps, and walking firmly.

On the city wall, the Ouchi army silently lined up in a scattered formation, motionless as the enemy gradually approached Yinshan City, and everyone's heartbeat was beating nervously with the pace of the enemy's advance. Ouchi Yoshinaga's face was particularly ugly.

The people of the Ouchi family all know that this flag of different colors represents the eight-color preparation system of Date Masaki, and the yellow flag in the center is different from the red and white flags of the Japanese country, and the owner of that flag is the male lord of the Date family, Date Masaki, who is extremely jealous of Ouchi Yoshinaga, personally leads the army to attack.

There are many people in the army who say that there are 10,000 people at once, and there is no shore. The number of Date troops in front of him is tens of thousands, and at the same time, countless flags have also been erected on the Nijo Mountain on the other side of the Ota River, and the banner of the Date family has also appeared on the Onijo Mountain on the north side, so it can be said that Ouchi Yoshinaga has surrounded the Silver Mountain Castle on three sides, and the only way to leave the Silver Mountain Castle is to take the steep Anza Gorge.

Ouchi Yoshicho shouted in a low voice, "Why is Date Army here? Why did the flag of the Date Army appear on the Onijo Mountain, and where did the water army on Yashiro Island go? (To be continued......)
