A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"What? The Suruga people and the Suwa people started to gather?" Although the chief accountant in Yamauchi had expected it, he still asked.

"Yes, Zi Xiaolu from Shitai County and Konishihara from Iida both sent messages back." The speaker was dusty.

Although Yamauchi Yoshiharu has improved a lot, his energy is still not as good as before. Nowadays, his uncle and his brother listen to reports from their retainers. The two of them first come up with a solution, and then report to him to make the final decision.

This will allow Yamauchi Yoshiji to rest for a while, and also ensure that the highest point of power is still in the hands of the Yamauchi clan.

"Judging from Takeda Daizen's character, the word wily and calculating is the most appropriate. Now it is just a local mobilization of the people. It seems that the meaning of temptation is stronger."

Hosokawa Harumiya has always felt that Takeda Harunobu is the most powerful kind of old Yinbi. He will not let go of the rabbit when he sees it, but when the rabbit comes out, he will definitely pounce on it immediately. If you give a rabbit a thunder blow, even if it doesn't kill the rabbit, it will definitely be seriously injured.

"What Harugong said is absolutely true. The Kaidaishin tiger lurks in the high mountains. Now the family is in chaos. If there are any flaws, they will go down the mountain!" Isshiki Miyauchi and Takeda Harunobu have fought against each other before.

"Have Kiso's reinforcements arrived at Iida? Have everyone gathered in Hamamatsu? Can they support Oigawa Shita's front line at any time?" Chief Yamauchi agreed with everyone's statement and asked about the deployment of troops.

"Yoshiro has already led the Kiso troops to Takato, and they will surely enter Iida within two or three days. The Hamamatsu troops led by the university commander have not yet fully assembled, and the Enshu people have heard the news of His Highness's death in battle, and they are watching and commotion. ”

Hosokawa Kainyu is a member of the samurai family, and has been keeping an eye on the troop movements in various places in recent days.

The people of Yuanjiang, big and small, were killed by the Yamauchi family's ruthless hands, and Koheita supported a group of military service members from Yamauchi. Finally, Yamauchi Yoshiji forced him to undergo a round of prosecution. The strength is actually very weakened and is no longer what it used to be.

In addition, the Matsushita clan, the banner leader of Nishienjiang, is a pro-Yamauchi faction, and the Asahina clan, the banner leader of Higashionjiang, is the son-in-law of Yoshiharu Yamauchi. For the time being, there is no movement from these two powerful people with thousands of gold coins.

The only thing left to worry about is the former Imagawa family's retainers in Yuejiang who are under the command of Imagawa Yoshichichi. Naturally, these people hope to encourage Imagawa Yoshichichi to start a fight. However, Imagawa Yoshiuchi has not left Fuchu Castle until now. Iwase Motomasa is keeping a close eye on Gaotian Castle, and there is no trouble for the time being.

For the remaining small fish and shrimps, none of the big bosses have stepped forward to take the lead. Although they are willing to be evil, they are not strong enough and have no one to connect with them. Nowadays, many people are adopting the procrastination strategy, that is, they do not cooperate with the Yamauchi clan's military service and wait and see what happens.

After all, in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, if you have soldiers, you will have money, and if you have soldiers, you will have land. Having soldiers and horses in hand is always the most secure and complete.

"Hamamatsu-den is doing well now! These people have evil intentions!" Yamauchi Yoshiharu looked gloomy.

"That is to say, the prime minister is still fine. If the prime minister is not fine, they would have started fighting early." Yamauchi Mochiyoshi has seen the changes in the Warring States Period for more than sixty years, Men Qing'er.

"What is the main direction of the Takeda clan's attack?" Chief Yamauchi understood that he would have plenty of time to deal with these people in the future, but he had no time to take care of them now.

"Unclear!" Hosokawa Saime shook her head.

"However, Suruga Shita County is extremely well-defended, and there are natural dangers in Oigawa. My uncle must have seized the civilian ships. Even if the Takeda family breaks through, it will be difficult to advance troops quickly."

Koheita thought about it for a while, but still felt that the main direction of attack was Shinano. Although the Takeda family conducted two interviews, their base was in Kai. To send troops from Kai, they had to first go to Suruga, break through the Oigawa River, and then break through the Toe Tenryu River. Even if Hamamatsu is spared, the impenetrable mountain city of Futamata Castle must be conquered.

When he attacked the mountain from south to north, the day lilies were already cold. The Yamauchi family had already called for help from all sides and gathered an army to fight.

"Yes, since Suwa sends troops, Kai Daizen can conquer Iida and enter Ina. If Takato Castle falls again, all the gates of Fuchu Castle will be lost. Kai Daizen can command the army and march to the city."

Hosokawa Harime is completely practical in official matters. As long as Koheta says something reasonable, he will support it. It was completely different from his usual attitude of being hostile to Xiaoping, who was too fond of his little sister.

"Well, then our army should continue to rush to aid Iida?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu was actually helped out from the back of the hall.

When everyone saw it, they immediately bowed their heads and saluted. There is no doubt about the majesty of Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Although he was ill, it did not damage his wisdom and courage. The prestige of Prime Minister Yamauchi who has dominated the Eastern Kingdom for more than thirty years has been proven by the heads of countless victories and losers. Most of those who dared to resist him have been reported to hell.

"Brother, for the current plan, Iida's defense should really be strengthened." "Shungiya, do you think so too?"

It was only then that Koheita discovered that Murakami Yoshimitsu, who was the head of the Yamauchi family's imperial flag, was actually supporting Yamauchi Yoshiharu at this moment. As expected, all the people were using gendai and sideways, and no outsider could get in.

"Your Highness, Enjie still needs the university to supervise the troops to strengthen defense." Hosokawa Harumiya did not answer directly, but the meaning was indeed very clear. Enjie should just be prepared.

"Who will go to Iida to lead the reinforcements first?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu glanced around at the sitting retainers with difficulty.

"Go down, my lord!" Hosokawa Zainyu is now regarded as the son-in-law of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, but she is not married yet, so she still declares her lordship.

"Well, Cai Nu, it's not appropriate for you to let the Wu family do what you want, and you still need to assist in recruiting the three armies."

"Then let me go!" Xiao Pingtai looked around and found that he was the only one who still had a bit of prestige, and at the same time, he didn't have to be busy with anything big for the time being.

"Yes!" Yamauchi Yoshiharu nodded.

"If Kai Dashi comes with a large army, please send reinforcements as soon as possible." That's what Koheita requested.

"I will come with my own army!"

"Absolutely not, absolutely not!"

The retainers were shocked. With Yamauchi's current appearance, if he put on his armor and mounted his horse, and exposed himself to the expedition, he might be dead before the battle was finished.

"His Highness, it is better to cultivate yourself in the palace. It is a long way to go, and there may be something unexpected!" The Isshiki Palace also opposed Yamauchi Yoshiharu's personal appearance in the battle.

"If I don't go, who can bully the officials at this moment?" "This~~, but~~?"

At this moment, the people of the country are all harboring evil intentions, and only the prestige established by Yamauchi Yoshiharu with his rolling heads can drive them.

Yamauchi's chief planner and Hosokawa Harugong are usually able to command the army, but now it is difficult for them to do so.

"Xiaoping Tai, if you continue to serve Yamauchi loyally and bravely, I will entrust you with more! Go!"

Yamauchi Yoshiharu's eyes were still sharp, staring at Xiaoheita. Such sincere communication with Xiao Pingtai also shows his trust in Xiao Pingtai.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Xiaopingtai stood up immediately. There was no need for soldiers at this moment. He only needed to lead a few people to show Yamauchi's determination to resist without showing any weakness.
