Kitabatake Gujiao didn't know the difficulties in front of him, with 3,000 men and horses with no morale, there were words to kill chickens and monkeys, but if he didn't kill chickens to show the tigers, if he really gave the tiger an excuse, who knows if he would swallow people and chickens together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Now that I heard the news of the disappearance of Naotada Tamaru and Muzo Guzheng, I will step into the unfathomable abyss if I don't get good for a while, and I can't help but roar angrily when I think of the difficulties I may suffer: "Tamaru Naotada, you villain, Muzo Gumasa, you waste, there is always one I want to kill you with my own hands!" ”

If the problem can be solved, then there will be no war, and Kitabatake Gukyo also understands that scolding cannot solve the problem, and can only hide the problem deep in his heart, wait for the time to come, and then complete revenge in one fell swoop.

Now, the problem in front of Kitabatake Gukyo is how to solve the current dilemma, for the Kitabatake family, time is running out, who knows who will be the next domino, Tamaru Naotada can turn his back on the Kitabatake family, and other families will follow suit.

Kitabatake Gujiao did give in temporarily, he knew that if he didn't give in, the consequences would be betrayal and separation, and there would be no benefit, and asking Date Mashiro for help would not be able to save the near fire, not to mention that it was Matsushima Hengkatsu who was against Kitabatake, and he and Matsushima Hengsheng were not comparable in the eyes of Date Masaki. The final result not only did not make a bad mistake to Matsushima Hengsheng, but also stole chickens and rice, and ended up with nothing. He could only choose to give in and hide his hatred.

Matsushima Hengkatsu, who Kitabatake Gujiao and Tian Maru Naotada hoped to see first, was not in Muzukusho Castle at this moment, and he took more than 100 entourages to Kameyama Castle to meet Miyazawa Heihachi. Now that there are still many remnants of the Wise Army hiding in Ise, Matsushima has to bring enough guards.

The battle of Kameyama Castle can be said to have brought the advantages of the bronze cannon to a very high level, making Kameyama Castle, a castle built on the mountain, a useless embodiment. However, as the main city of the former wise Mitsuhide, Miyazawa Heihachi placed the main camp here precisely to show off his strength.

Matsushima Hengkatsu didn't think of coming to Kameyama Castle to listen to Miyazawa Heihachi, he was the boss in Muzukusho Castle, but when he arrived at Kameyama Castle, he could only follow the advice of Miyazawa Heihachi, the general of Ise Province, yes, just advice.

Miyazawa Heihachi naturally does not qualify as a general, he knows that he is at most a great achievement in front of Matsushima Hengsheng, and the others are inferior to the other party, but he naturally has his own pride, and he will not put down his body and speak in a low voice.

After the two sat down, they chatted about the situation in Ise Province for a while, in fact, for the two of them, the changes in the situation in Ise were also expected by them, and after the rapid defeat of Mizoo Shigetomo and Akechi Mitsuhide, both Matsushima Hengkatsu and Miyazawa Heihachi had a deeper understanding of Ise Country after the war.

Everyone wants to get a part of them after the war, but Ise Province is a big country with more than 500,000 koku, not comparable to small cities such as Sawa Mountain Castle and Mimasaka Province, and according to the Date family's system, Ise Province, which has more than 500,000 yuan, must have at least four or five feudal states.

According to the calculations of Heihachi Miyazawa and Hengkatsu Matsushima.

First of all, since Honganji Temple gave up Ishiyama Honganji Temple and returned to the Yamashina area to build a new main mountain, it was completely subjugated to the Date family, and the head of Nagashima's Shoshoji Temple, Sei Kamiraku, assisted the new Howang Kyoru, so that the Nagashima area would not be deprived and would be self-contained by Kanshoji Temple.

Secondly, although Matsushima Hengsheng wants to swallow the Kitabatake Gujiao in one go, but according to the current situation, the Date family still needs the banner of the Kitabatake Gujiao, of course, this is under the condition that the Kitabatake Gujiao does not die, so there is also a place for the Kitabatake Gujiao.

Again, for example, the forces that were originally subordinated to the Kitabatake Gujiao will also be spun off from the place, you must know that Matsushima Hengkatsu can be said to have offended the Kitabatake Gujiao enough, and the seizure of people's territory is like killing his parents, and the two sides have become endless, so that it is enough to weaken the Kitabatake Gujiao has become the main strategy of Matsushima Hengkatsu, so that it can also divide out two to three small domains. Because they are separated from the Kitabatake Technique, the relationship between them and the Kitabatake Sect is also irreconcilable, and they are the natural lackeys of Matsushima Hengkatsu.

Matsushima Hengsheng glanced up at Miyazawa Heihachi, and suddenly said, "Brother Heihachi, I got a piece of news, it is said that the lord has plans to go south to Kyushu Island to attack the Otomo clan?" ”

Miyazawa Heiba's heart froze, and his face tightened. Going south to Kyushu Island to attack the Otomo clan is no longer surprising news in Date's house, but it has a little other meaning from the mouth of Matsushima Hengkatsu, you must know that Matsushima Hengkatsu is Date Masahiro's earliest group of small surnames, and there are many more sources than Miyazawa Heihachi. Matsushima Hengsheng solemnly put it forward, obviously he was already seven or eight points sure, which was the reason why Miyazawa Heihachi was awe-inspiring.

Heihachi Miyazawa asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Matsushima Hengsheng bowed slightly, and replied: "There are many intelligence channels, and there are all kinds of ideas, and I can't be completely sure. However, I know from an old companion that the lord has come to the generals more than once to talk about it, and I am afraid that it is not far off. Now is also a good time to go south, as long as you gain a foothold in the area around Kitakyushu, you can slowly advance and swallow Kyushu Island like Shikoku Island. ”

Date is a mixed family about the annexation of Shikoku Island, although the territory of Shikoku Island seems to be large, but it is quite barren, and the history is a poor mountain and bad land for exiled prisoners, Noyama Masaki spent a lot of money with tens of thousands of horses to take down Shikoku Island. It's a bit more than worth the loss, and it's very marketable among the old school. However, after the discovery of the Besko copper mine in the mountains near Kaneko Castle in Iyo Province, this kind of talk disappeared completely.

Copper ore can be said to be the largest product of the Date family's foreign trade, not to mention that more and better high-quality copper ore is needed to refine copper cannons, which makes the Date family need more and better copper ore, and after the discovery of the Besko copper mine, many small-scale deposits have been discovered in Shikoku Island one after another.

The barren island of Shikoku is not useless, not to mention the island of Kyushu, which has more fertile soil and developed maritime trade, if Kanto is a land to be developed, then Kyushu is a land that has been developed, waiting to be plundered by the Date family.

Matsushima Hengsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Can't you see it yet?" According to the strength of the Date family, it was easy to conquer the Kanto countries, so why did they build Osaka Castle, reorganize and Chugoku, and annex Shikoku with only one purpose. ”

Miyazawa Heihachi nodded slightly, he naturally considered Matsushima Hengsheng's words, but he still didn't quite understand Matsushima Hengsheng's intentions, and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Matsushima Hengsheng leaned over and whispered, "Haven't you seen it yet?" Katayama-kun was stationed in Tsuruga, and we waited for the attack on Ise Province, and then Mino and Owari were subservient, and everything was preparing for the upcoming Kyushu Raid. However, according to the comparison of strength, Kyushu is not our opponent at all, and there are Ouchi and Ryuzoji as internal responses, but why does the lord have such a solemn deployment. ”

Heihachi Miyazawa involuntarily replied: "Pro-Zheng! ”

Matsushima Heng won the head, Miyazawa Heihachi finally understood what he meant, Date Mashiro's last personal expedition was the Battle of Kamiraku three years ago, and after that, whether it was the Battle of Tsuruga or the Battle of Kita-Omi, the Yang or Shikoku Crusade, and now the Battle of Ise Province, they all sent their generals to fight.

Then this pro-conquest against Kyushu may be the most important feast for the Date family in the near future, yes, it is a feast, if you can get enough merits in this conquest. Date Masaki will not be stingy with rewards, Kyushu is far away from Osaka Castle, and in the ancient era when information was basically transmitted by letters, it was necessary to have the generals of the Date family to sit in Kyushu. Then these generals sitting in Kyushu will become the local figures who act on behalf of the heavens, and the overlords above and under the ten thousand people.

The conquest of Kyushu is imminent, and war is imminent. Heihachi Miyazawa and Tsukatsu Matsushima, as important military generals under the Date family, if they can occupy a position in this war, as long as they can hang around in the Battle of Kyushu, they will also be important candidates for the matter of becoming a vassal in Kyushu.

Miyazawa Heihachi was suddenly stunned, he turned his head to look at Matsushima Hengsheng, and asked with a smile: "Here, I wish Matsushima Junqi a victory." He suddenly understood that Matsushima Hengsheng would dig a pit for him again, if Matsushima Hengsheng really cared about Kyushu, why should he be so ugly in South Ise, there was no need to make such a big move.

If Miyazawa Heihachi suddenly asks Date Masaki to accompany him on the expedition, and Matsushima Hengkatsu mobilizes his friends to speak together, Miyazawa Heihachi is very likely to get his wish, and then Miyazawa Heihachi will have to stay away from Ise Province, and in the end, it may be difficult to protect Sawa Yamashiro.

Although he is the king and hegemonic in Kyushu, the future political core of the Date family is Osaka Castle, and the closer you are to Osaka Castle, the closer you are to the political core, and going to Kyushu is exile in a certain sense. Matsushima's proposal clearly harbors a trap.

Matsushima Hengsheng sensed the fluctuations in Miyazawa Heipachi's mood, and also heard the estrangement in Miyazawa Heipachi's words, but there was no surprise, if he couldn't even hear this, he would be a subordinate general. However, his true intention was not so, but to warn Miyazawa Heihachi. Of course, if he really fooled Heihachi Miyazawa, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for him.

He was about to explain a thing or two, when the door of the castle tower was opened. Asai Nagamasa's voice sounded, "Two adults, Mikawa Country is in an emergency, and the Battle of Nagashino Castle broke out?!" ”
