On the third day after the Kodera family and the Urakami family decided to form an alliance, before the Urakami family had sent the hostages to the Kotera family, Hattori was given an urgent message and came to the Kuroda Castle Palace to ask for an audience.

When Kuroda received the news, he immediately convened an extraordinary meeting of the ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the ninjas of the main family have just received news that Takino Castle is gathering troops, and the target is Murozu Castle, the residence of Urakami Masamune, who has just formed an alliance with the Kodera family."

"It seems that Takino Hall is still scared!" "I'm afraid of being attacked on my back!" "Yes, that's right!" "Has the family grown to this point?"

"Okay guys, this is a great opportunity for my Kuroda family, immediately gather the army to the maximum, this time my Kuroda family will capture the land of Takino Hall to the greatest extent, and it is best to control the rest of the land of Iho County in the hands of my Kuroda family. Vocational high school, you can talk about the strategy this time. After Kuroda finished talking about the general policy, he asked Kodera about the specific strategy of the march.

"This battle with the Takino Palace, the general situation is actually the same as the Koguchi Battle at the time, but this time the Takinoden is a sneak attack, according to the intelligence of a total of 1,500 troops, because of the extreme scruples about the family, so the Takino Hall left 300 standing samurai and 1,000 peasant soldiers, and more than 200 samurai in the land to guard the cities. Moreover, more than 1,000 people were concentrated in several places such as Takino Castle, Sakamoto Castle, and the newly built Taniguchi Castle and Shiroyama Castle opposite Koguchi Castle, among which Taniguchi Castle had 300 defenders, Takino Castle had 300, and Sakamoto Castle had 200 people. ”

"Thirteen hundred?" "It's not easy to do!" "What are you afraid of, just kill it directly" "As long as you capture Taniguchi Castle, this time it will be considered a success" "It's not that easy! ”

"Everyone, please note that the two territories of Kuroda and Himeji Castle have a total of 600 standing troops and 900 peasants. After this battle, the territory needs to leave a certain garrison force, and there are currently three cities and two fortresses in the family. Twenty standing guards and eighty peasant soldiers were left in the north and south respectively, which were guarded by Tohi Yahachi and Goto Kikoku; Kuroda Castle Rume Matsui Shigetaka led forty standing guards and one hundred and sixty peasant soldiers; The small guards of Koguchi Castle Liumuli led thirty standing guards and seventy peasant soldiers; In addition to the original 100 standing ashigaru and 200 peasant soldiers, Himeji Castle transferred 70 standing soldiers from the main family. Therefore, the number of people in the initial battle of this family was 320 standing troops and 310 peasant soldiers, a total of more than 600 people. In addition, in the castle town of Kuroda Castle, the main family has begun to temporarily recruit ronin samurai to fight with the army, and more than 300 people have been recruited so far. Therefore, the number of people in this family is at least about 1,000. ”

In fact, hundreds of members of the Kuroda family will also go out together, and send several teams to various places in the territory and surrounding forces to prevent being attacked by surrounding forces. And from this time on, the number of concentric people will become a first-class secret of the Kuroda family, except for Kuroda Zhitaka and Kodera Zhigao and Kotera Takahisa, even the elders of the Itetomo clan and Musato Kobei do not know.

"A thousand?" "Our Kuroda family can send such an army", "It's a good idea to hire ronin", "The young master really deserves to be a unicorn!" ”

When the important ministers were discussing, except for a limited number of people who knew the inside story in advance, almost all the retainers did not find out why Himeji Castle was hoarding the most defense forces, it was just the battle after the excitement.

"Okay guys, this time, my Kuroda family and Koguchi have the same requirements for the early stage of the battle, just one word fast, we have to quickly take Taniguchi Castle, and then divide the army into two roads, led by the lord and Lord Ide, respectively, to encroach on the territory of the Takino Akamatsu family in Iho County, and strive to be able to capture at least 10,000 stone of land, and then the army will converge in the Takino River, attack the Takihogawa River, and then depending on the reaction of the Takino Palace, we will either defend on the spot, or continue to attack. The stakes are very high, so you must do your best, and our family will not hesitate to reward them. At the end, Koji Zhigao suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

Several retainers with fiery personalities followed and stood up. "Victory", "Victory", "Victory"

Kuroda Zhitaka smiled and waved his hand, telling everyone to be quiet: "There is also the fact that spring plowing is about to be prepared, please prepare for spring ploughing in advance with Lord Konishi Lonzo and his subordinates, if you get land after the war, you must also prepare for spring ploughing immediately, these lands should also be taken into account, and the harvest cannot be delayed, please Ronzo take a lot of trouble." ”

"Hey" has become the family's number one domestic talent Konishi Ryonzo answered.

After the meeting, except for Kuroda Zhitaka, Kotera Zhidaka, and Matsui Shigetaka, only Hattori Hocho and Fujibayashi Hohotoshi remained.

After a long-term career in territorial management, Kuroda has cultivated the majesty of the superior, and it is no longer the same as the small wealthy family in the countryside before, and now sitting in the first place, it does have some meaning of the Warring States period of power, at least for the time being, the role is still the military advisor's small temple high school does not have this temperament.

"Two, this time, Taniguchi is the first battle, so it must be won, and it must be won quickly. First, we must deal with all the enemy scouts and ninjas around Taniguchi Castle before the attack is launched, so that our army can suddenly appear under Taniguchi Castle; Second, because Takino Castle is expected to attack Murozu Castle in the middle of the night tomorrow, so in the past two days, I don't care what method you use, mix fifty people into Taniguchi Castle, and we will also sneak attack in the middle of the night tomorrow. No problem for two! ”

"There is no problem, we will solve all the peripheral enemy eyes and ears about two hours before the attack, and we will try to open the city gate when attacking the city, please rest assured." Hattori said respectfully.

He will play the next day, and it is his first battle, and Kotera is still very excited, but before the war, he still went to visit his mother, Mrs. Iwa.

The Kuroda family has always been frugal, so whether it is in Himeji Castle or Kuroda Castle, there are no excessive furnishings and objects, and the family does not have any good entertainment, basically men practice martial arts, women just talk about family life, and when Koji Vocational High School came to Mrs. Iwa's residence, Mrs. Iwa was chatting with Ali.

"Mother, I'm disturbed by the high school."

"What are you talking about, you are very happy to come to my mother." Ali said in a half-stern, half-joking tone.

"Ali is right, why should I be bothered when you come to see me?" Mrs. Yan smiled and nodded, Mrs. Yan was just thirty years old, and except for the serious illness a few years ago, she usually maintained it well, so she still looked very young, and her body was full of the atmosphere of a mature young woman.

"Mother, Ali, I'm going to attack the Takino Akamatsu family with the army tomorrow, and if this battle goes well, I can return to my family within a month." Kotera Vocational High School originally had a lot of things to say to the two of them, but when he really saw the two of them, he didn't know what he was going to say, after all, he was going to the battlefield and planning a battle, which was different from going to the front line to participate in the war in person, even if he was a military advisor as the general general, it would be equally dangerous to guide the battle in this formation, so in the face of people who care about him, there will still be some timidity.

"Wanji, mother hopes that the Kuroda family can become strong, and I hope everyone will have a good life, but my greatest hope is that you can return smoothly from the battlefield, you can go with confidence! When you go on an expedition, I will be with Ah Guang in the Buddha Hall and sincerely hope that the Bodhisattva will bless you. Although Mrs. Iwa had a kind smile on her face, Kuroda could see that there was a hint of worry and worry in her eyes.

"Yes, husband, I will bless you and the Kuroda family with my mother." Ali said firmly.

"You don't have to worry like this, Takayu Musato and Hattori Masari will always be by my side to protect me, and I have been practicing martial arts every day for so many years, isn't it just for this day? So please take care of your home, take care of yourself, I will definitely protect myself and return home safely. ”

"That's good, that's good, Wanji has grown up!" Mrs. Yan said with a smile.

"I wish my husband a long time and must return safely!" Ali also said with a smile.

"Definitely"
