Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

As soon as the battle report of the Kusama Shibei arrived, the messenger of Torakura Castle came on the back foot, it was Iga Sadatsuna, the uncle of Iga Kutaka, and he was accompanied by Iga Kudaka's sisters-in-law, Iga and Saburo, who had just turned three, and they looked like tigers.

Iga Sadatsuna is a rather traditional samurai, known for his uprightness, Tobizen, since the death of the previous castle lord Iga Katsutaka, known as the "pillar of the clan", his voice in Torakura Castle is also quite important, for Iga Kutaka to treat Matsuda Motohui Yang Fengyin is quite unaccustomed. It was the existence of Iga Sadadatsuna that made Iga Kutaka have been holding back and not making up his mind to rebel against the Matsuda family, and it was after the death of Iga Sadadaka that Iga Kutaka rebelled in history. But this time is different from the past, Matsuda Motoki took the lead in raising the banner of injustice, and the only person Iga Sadadaka could absolutely trust was Iga Sadazuna, who would risk his life to protect his sister-in-law and Saburo to ask for help from the Date family.

In the main hall of Kamibe Castle Honmaru, the main hall is a place dedicated to the meeting of kings and ministers and the reception of guests, and in addition, except for the central part, which is vacated, the retainers of the Date family, as the host, have already sat all around. In the front is the nineteen-year-old Date Masahiro, and all the samurai of the Date family are sitting on the left and right, except for a few who are a little older, most of them are no more than twenty or thirty years old, and even some teenage dolls are sitting in it.

It was unique in the troubled times of the Warring States of the Wa Kingdom, and even in the turbulent times, it was impossible for Oda Nobunaga, who was known to be full of wonderful minds and ordinary personalities, to gather so many young people. Anyone who sees this scene will invariably have thoughts of contempt and disdain, but if you think that it is these stinky boys who have accomplished many feats that the old man cannot accomplish, a strong sense of fear will rise in the bottom of your heart.

Iga Sadatsuna has imagined countless times the scene when he first appeared with Date Masaki. If you want to maintain the glory of the samurai of Tobizen, you can really face the young faces in front of you. The words were incomprehensible, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he knelt in the center. Instead, the little dolls next to him, Iga and Saburo, looked curious and stretched out their heads to look at the one-eyed man above.

Zhengheng glanced around, turned his head, and said loudly to Sukugoro Tsuda, who was holding the imperial sword behind him, "Sukegoro, unfold the big map!" ”

Sukegoro Tsuda put down his sword with a "yes", stood up, and walked to the huge screen behind the main seat, which turned out to be a red cloth embroidered with Date's family crest. Pulling it apart forcefully, the picture on the huge screen was revealed.

Zheng Heng stood up, turned his head, pointed to a piece of land, and said: "Order, assemble the four color preparations, Katayama Shengchang, Ge Lang Hengchang, and you two lead the red color preparation 1,500 people to go out immediately." Go to Fuchuan Castle, sweep Toyama Castle, Okayama Castle and other cities, and ask Okayama Castle Jinguang Zonggao to open the castle immediately, otherwise capture it, garrison it at Mingzenji Temple, and then force the surrounding people to move to the Kurashiki area; Akagi Takao. You immediately transport 300 stone of grain to Xingshan Castle, and then 6 continue to transport a batch of grain, once the people arrive, they will be given relief by work, and the men will be selected to cut down timber and transport it to the Ming Chan Temple to build the Yonggu Castle, and the old and young women and children will move into the city in the Kurashiki area to live. The men were scattered around the castles of Fukawa, Hihata, Matsushima, and Hayashima. ”

Masahiro paused and continued: "Hisataka Ishikawa, return to Takamatsu Castle to prepare for battle. Matsushima Hengsheng led 500 white soldiers to Guanshan City to prepare for the battle, and called 150 yellow iron gunners in the city, and the two cooperated at any time to investigate the movements of Ninjayama Castle, and omitted Matsuda Motoki, who was besieging Hucang City, to relieve the pressure on Hucang City. ”

Zheng Heng said: "Yeshan Yichao, Taoshan Hengxin, Qinghe Hengxiu, the three of you stay in the garrison of Houguo, white and 1,500 blue, a total of 2,500 people, ready for local rebellions, as well as threats from the sea, and step up training with yellow and red guards." The rest of the people, together with me, led the 1,350 Yellow Guards out and moved their headquarters to Takamatsu Castle first. ”

Iga Sadatsuna was at a loss, he never expected Date Masaki to tell the layout in one breath, obviously he had already prepared, and he was even more frightened when he heard that one hundred and fifty iron cannons had already been prepared in Guanshan Castle, could it be that he already knew that Matsuda Motoki was going to attack Torakura Castle.

Iga Sadazuna suddenly thought of the words that his nephew Iga Kutaka had said inadvertently, the dragon of Bichu was not so much a dragon as a fox, thinking of this, he couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that Guanshan Castle was not guarding against Matsuda Motoki, and Tiger Cang Castle was not successful?

Zheng Heng finished speaking in one breath, and such a layout was obviously already clear in his chest. Yeshan Yichao nodded and asked, "Your Highness, you really only need three thousand five hundred people, don't you need to bring more?!" ”

Zhengheng nodded and said: "Yes, the soldiers are not expensive, and the battle of Hucang City should be decided at the right time, and Matsuda Yuanhui is mediocre, so there is no need to worry." ”

Noyama asked puzzled, "Why?" ”

Zhengheng explained with a smile: "Since Matsuda Motoki and his people took power, they can't mediate the internal strife of their retainers, and they can't expand their territory outside, everyone knows that Matsuda Motoki and Iga Kutaka have a personal feud, but Iga Kutaka is still Matsuda Motohui's retainer in the end, and the two sides have not turned against each other in public, and nominally they still belong to the relationship between monarchs and ministers." I heard that Nizi Qingjiu came for a long time and hurriedly raised troops to surround Hucang City, and the main battle was actually a personal revenge under the pretense of official business, how would the world think of such a person? I'm afraid that if I can't kill chickens and monkeys, I will end up with a rabbit and a dead fox and a miserable end of lifting a stone to hit my own feet. ”

Yeshan Yichao paused, and then asked, "Your Highness, if it were an ordinary person, how would you implement the strategic steps?" ”

Zhengheng looked around and said: "If it is an ordinary person, you must see the situation in the world clearly, Nizi Haruhisa and Urakami Zongjing will only enter when they are victorious, and there is no need to send troops in person, as long as you say that Nizi Haruhisa will issue an order, asking the retainers and wealthy families who have always been dissatisfied with him to go to the war, in this way, Matsuda Motoki will not be able to expand the territory, and the civil strife can still be quelled." ”

Yeshan Yichao thought for a while, and then said: "Your Highness's strategy is really an unsolvable strategy, advancing is also death and retreat, I don't know what to do if it is Your Highness?" ”

Zhengheng looked around and said loudly, "Me?!" On the one hand, he handed over the surrender table to Niko Haruhisa, and on the other hand, he gathered a large army to take advantage of the emptiness of China and drove straight in, fell into Takamatsu Castle, entered and smashed Crane City, retreated and defended it, and waited for the arrival of Nizi Haruhisa's reinforcements. ”

The retainers glanced at each other and saw the feasibility, Ishikawa Hisataka took a deep breath, and felt scared like never before, fortunately that Matsuda Motoki was a mediocre talent, otherwise the situation would be out of control. At the moment, no one paid attention to what Iga Kutaka would do at that time.

Zhengheng glanced at Ishikawa Hisataka with a smile, and then looked at Shimizu Soji, who was a little thoughtful, and asked, "Shimizu Soji, tell me, how to break this strategy?!" ”

Qing Shui Zongzhi didn't expect that he was still arranging tactics just now, and now he asked him, but he was not timid, he was not timid, he organized his language, and said: "Your Highness, the villain thought for a while, and then he felt that His Highness seemed to have been arranged a long time ago, but he still can't understand it." ”

Some of the retainers thought a little, and they all thought about what things had been arranged by the political balance, but they couldn't connect them, and they had to look at the political balance again. It was not difficult for Zhengheng to stretch out his palm and wrench his fingers for them, and said: "Rebuilding Matsuyama Castle, repairing Date Danshokan Family Temple, Guanshan Castle Iron Cannon, expelling a group of people to rebuild the two cities of Fuchuan and Hihata, and hoarding Yukiyama Castle with autumn grain in the Kurashiki area, this qiē is not for Matsuda Motoki, he is not worthy of me to be so solemn." ”

Zheng Heng stood up, raised his hand and pointed forward and shouted, "Come out!" ”

As soon as Zheng Heng decided to start acting, the leading generals gathered around him rushed in all directions one by one, returning to their ranks, and the horns of the expedition sounded around the Shenbian City, beating the war drums of the gathering troops, and the banners raised high one after another, announcing the arrival of war to all the people on the Shenbian Plains.

After the meeting, Masahiro left Noyama Yosaki, Miyahara Tanba, Akagi Takao, Taoyama Hengxin, Kiyokawa Henghide and others to rearrange it, and the retainers 6 continued to leave, and Masahiro deliberately left Miyahara Tanba and Katayama Moricho instructed: "Miyahara Tanba, you secretly went to Yamaguchi to visit Ouchi Yoshinaga, and said that Date Masahiro was willing to form a brotherly alliance with him, he was a brother, and I was a brother, and An Yiguo was presented to him." ”

Miyahara Tanba nodded and responded: "The minister understands, come out immediately!" ”

Zhengheng took out a package and said: "It contains the letter and deed I gave to Yoshinaga Ouchi, I will ask Katayama Hengsheng to lead four personal guards to pretend to be monks and soldiers to escort all the way, after passing Numata Village, be careful all the way, and if anyone investigates, show them the degree of Ankokuji Temple." Katayama is prosperous, and if things are in a crisis, it is important to protect Miyahara Tanba. ”

Miyahara Tanba and Katayama Mori bowed and said, "Your Highness, the ministers understand. ”

Watching a person leave, Zheng Heng's heart gradually calmed down, looked at the sky in the distance, and muttered, "Is the big war finally going to begin?" Although he has only one side relationship with Iga Kutaka and has no friendship, this matter is related to the faith of the Date family and the overall layout of the Date family in China. The Date family has gradually grown into a powerful force, and if even a wealthy family who has taken refuge in them cannot protect it, not only will they lose their trust in Iga Kutaka, but it will also make all the weak forces who come to join them feel cold.
