"That's it! Even Hui Qiong said this, since this is the case, Jiro will lead 3,000 people by you first, and the army of the family will arrive later. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mao Liyuan said loudly.

"Hey!" Yoshikawa Motoharu excitedly received the order.

After giving the order, Mao Liyuan began to think about life again.

Yoshikawa Motoharu led 3,000 people into Kamibo County first, and did not encounter any resistance along the way, because all the nearby wealthy people and ordinary people had been moved to Heye County by the Kuroda family, and all the people Yoshikawa Motoharu passed along the way were no-man's land. However, some empty castles can provide a place for the army to rest, and Yoshikawa Motoharu cherishes these old castles, if the Kuroda family is in his position, it is estimated that they will be burned directly after they run out.

After a two-hour march, the army came to Matsuyama Castle, where Matsuyama Castle stood quietly, shining in the setting sun and opening its heart to the Maori family.

Matsuyama Castle is very quiet, quiet, and even a little scary. Motoharu Yoshikawa sent an ashigaru to the city to check. The moment the gate was opened, Matsuyama Castle was displayed in front of everyone, even compared to Yoshida-gunyama Castle, the residence of the Mori family, Matsuyama Castle still looked more majestic, after all, it was a world-famous fortified castle! Moreover, in the inner field of Songshan Castle, the orderly arrangement of buildings, the arrangement of tight defense facilities, as well as the tall stone walls and strong city walls, all tell the prestige of this first fortified city in China.

"What an amazing fortified city!" Kumagai Motonao, who is the deputy general of Yoshikawa Motoharu, said.

"Okay, send some more people to check, and when it's safe, the whole army will enter the city." Yoshikawa Motoharu said with a horsewhip pointing at Matsuyama Castle.

A team of 100 peasants entered Matsuyama Castle, and they began to slowly search every inch of land and every house in the city, and finally except for a few unlucky ghosts who were killed and injured by the traps set up by the Kuroda family in advance, Yoshikawa Kiyoshi under Yoshikawa Motoharu reported that there was no longer any threat in the city.

"The Kuroda family just likes to use such small means, so don't they really dare to fight head-on like a samurai? What a bunch of cowards! After knowing that a few peasant soldiers had died, Yoshikawa Motoharu looked in the direction of He Yejun and said fiercely.

"Lord, let's go into the city!" Yoshikawa Motoharu's retainer Miyazhuang Jingyu said at this time.

"Hmmm! The whole army entered the city. Motoharu Yoshikawa said loudly.

Yoshikawa Motoharu's army slowly entered Matsuyama Castle, and on a hill not far away, a pair of eyes were watching everything outside Matsuyama Castle with full attention, and after confirming that all the 3,000 Maori army had entered the city, he quietly left the place where he had just lurked, and was not discovered by anyone.

In the city, Yoshikawa Motoharu ordered the whole army to rest and convene the people to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Kuroda family has now retreated to Heye County, I wonder what you adults think we should do?" Motoharu Yoshikawa said.

"Yoshikawa-sama, I think that since the Kuroda family has retreated all the way, it is obviously afraid of the main family, so it is better for us to cover up the past, and we will definitely be able to fight in one battle, and it is not impossible to even enter Bizen!" The Maori family commander Kumagai Nobunao said with a smile.

"Haha! Kumagai-sama is right," Motoharu Yoshikawa smiled and nodded.

"Yoshikawa-sama, I know that the Kuroda family has always liked to use intrigue and trickery, and the current actions of the Kuroda family seem to be all under the control of the Kuroda family, and the opponent can anticipate the enemy's opportunities everywhere, which is extremely unfavorable to the family, and the Kuroda family's actions this time are full of strangeness, why would they give up the prepared China that they had fought hard without fighting? If it's the Kuroda family, at least have to fight with the main family, and then determine the next action! But they retreated directly, and they dared to say that adults must not blindly pursue, lest they fall into the trap of the Kuroda family! It's best to wait until the lord and the army arrive, and slowly advance together, even if the Kuroda family is prepared, it will be difficult to use it in the face of such a superior force! Akakawa said with the army.

"What Akakawa-sama said makes sense." Suya Mototsu also smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement with Akakawa's statement.

"My lord, I don't agree with Kumagai-sama's words, this is a coastal plain all the way to Heya County, although the Kuroda family likes to use ambushes and sneak attacks, but this kind of tactics is extremely demanding on the terrain, but how to use it on this plain?" Yoshikawa said to Akakawa Yoshihide.

"This is really not easy to perform." Akakawa said embarrassedly.

"In that case, let's do what Kumagai-sama says!" Yoshikawa Motoharu thus determined the strategy for the future.

"Yoshikawa-sama, wait a minute, no matter what, please remember that the Kuroda family is not an easy opponent to defeat, you must know that in the past few years, the Kuroda family has gone from 5,000 stone to hundreds of thousands of stone daimyo now, it is not an accident. Therefore, Lord Yoshikawa must not let his guard down, even if he pursues, he has the courage to implore your lord to wait until the lord's army arrives here, and then it is not too late to march. Akakawa said loudly.

"By the time the lord comes, I'm afraid that the fighter plane will have already been missed." Kumagai Motonao scolded loudly.

"Kumagai-sama, don't get excited, what Akakawa-sama said is indeed reasonable, it's better to wait until the lord comes, and then it's not too late to march." After thinking about it for a while, Yoshikawa Motoharu still made a cautious choice, after all, the Kuroda family did not seem to be so easy to beat.

"Thank you, Yoshikawa-sama." Akakawa said to Yoshikawa Motoharu.

"Hmph" Kumagai Yuan snorted coldly, and lowered his head and drank a bowl of wine, his face full of unhappiness.

When Yoshikawa Motoharu entered Matsuyama Castle smoothly, he passed the news that everything was fine to Mori Motoharu early the next morning.

"Jiro has successfully occupied Matsuyama Castle, but there is a trap prepared by the Kuroda family in the city, and more than a dozen people have been killed and injured, what do you think of this matter?" Mao Liyuan looked at the people under his command and said.

"My lord, send troops! We're going to be able to defeat the Kuroda family this time. Kagawa Motokyo just said loudly, without any reason.

"Lord, I don't think it's appropriate to go down here, this time the family is really going too smoothly." Gui Yuancheng said, when he said this, Mao Liyuan nodded unconsciously, as if agreeing with him. It is true that the Kuroda family does not fight a battle and retreats dozens of miles, Mao Liyuan has never seen it since he inherited the family governor decades ago, even if he has a plan to lure the enemy, he must at least fight once, and then retreat slowly!
