Kyogoku Takamasa didn't know what was happening in Omi at this time.
His attention was now entirely on the people of Kitai Ise.
Since they had already formulated a strategy to fish in troubled waters in the upcoming situation, Kyogoku Takamasa and others quietly lurked.
Hard work paid off, and soon, the scene Kyogoku Takamasa hoped to see finally happened.
"My lord, the Katayama family and the Tanemura family have joined forces to surround Umedo Castle. Now the Umehu family is exhausted."
Hearing this, Kyogoku Takamasa quickly sat up from the grass.
"Where's the Chigusa family?"
"The Chigusa family is also mobilizing troops, but there has been no big move yet."
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded, "It seems that the Chigusa family is preparing to pick peaches, but they have a good plan!"
"Inuhachiro, map!"
Hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's greeting, Yamaoka Inuhachiro quickly took out a map from his arms and placed it in front of Kyogoku Takamasa.
Following the marks on the map, Kyogoku Takamasa quickly found the location of Umedo Castle.
After folding his hands and staring at the map and thinking for a long time, Kyogoku Takamasakai stretched out his right index finger and pointed to the northwest of Umedo Castle and said: "If the Katayama family and the Tanemura family send troops, the territory of the Katayama family will inevitably be empty."
"We are now in the area of Shanxing Temple. It is only more than fifty miles away from the Katayama family's base, Axiaxicheng. We can arrive there in two hours!"
"Capture this city first, and then wait until the time comes to move!"
"ha!"
Kyogoku Takamasa originally thought that the Senge family and Umeto family would fight first. The original plan was to wait for the Senge family to send troops and then capture Senge Castle.
However, the Chigusa family did not take action for a long time. On the contrary, the two clowns, the Katayama family and the Tanemura family, made the move first.
Therefore, Kyogoku Takamasa could only temporarily change his plan and bring his men to the Katayama family territory northwest of Yuanben County, and found a place with dense mountains and forests to hide.
The Chigusa family has no choice but to act on the Katayama family.
.......
Umedo Castle.
At this time, it was surrounded by the coalition forces of the Katayama family and the Tanemura family.
The Umeto family gathered farmers and soldiers in the city to cage the castle, and the residents of the castle town have also been resettled in the city. Almost all the people, women, children, old and young, were soldiers. Those who were strong stood on the edge of the city wall to help move stones and other defensive objects, while the old and weak prepared ashigaru meals inside the city.
The city was filled with an atmosphere of chilling tension.
At the coalition station outside the city, the head of the Tanemura family, Goldman Tanemura, was a little absent-minded, while the head of the Katayama family, Nobuho Katayama, looked like he was sure of victory.
"Father-in-law, our two families have been attacking the city for a day. The morale of the Umehu family's troops in the city is low. Several times, the Ashigaru have boarded the city. Although they were repelled by the Umehu family, as long as this situation lasts two more days, With this offensive, Umedo Castle will not be able to hold on for long."
"However, my father-in-law doesn't seem happy about this?"
Tanemura Goldman hesitated for a moment, and then said worriedly: "Umedo Castle cannot be conquered in one day, I am worried about the Chigusa family!"
"Your family and ours have already sent out troops. It stands to reason that the Chigusa family will also take action. How come there is no news?"
There was an inexplicable look in Katayama Nobuho's eyes, but he soon returned to his original state, "Father-in-law, you are too worried. The Senge family had just fought a battle with the Umeto family, and the Zhitian silver mine in their territory was also destroyed. After looting everything, I guess I am still licking my wounds and reorganizing my territory, so I have no time to send troops."
"We just seize this opportunity to capture Umedo Castle in one fell swoop, otherwise if we wait for the Chigusa family to react, there will be more variables!"
Although Tanemura Goldman Sachs still felt that something was wrong, it had to agree with Katayama Nobuho's statement.
This time, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After being suppressed by the Umeto family and the Chigusa family for so many years, Tanemura Goldman was very excited to see that his great revenge was about to be avenged.
"It's almost sunset, and the Ashigaru are very tired after a day of attacking the city. Let's withdraw the troops first."
"Repair for one day, and we will continue to attack tomorrow!"
"ha!"
After walking out of the main formation and feeling the breeze blowing on his face, Nobuho Katayama gradually calmed down.
After standing outside the main formation for a short while, Nobuho Katayama suddenly turned to a corner, then took out a letter from his body and placed it under the wooden fence beside him. Then he picked up a stone on the ground and covered the letter. Then he left.
Not long after Katayama Nobuho left, a man who looked like an ashigaru came here sneakily and started rummaging around.
After finding the letter placed by Katayama Nobuho, Ashigaru quickly disappeared into the night.
.......
The Qianzhong family is based in Qianzhong City.
Chigusa Masatada was now fully armed, and dozens of warriors were standing densely outside the palace.
Chigusa Masatada, who was sitting outside the hall, had his eyes slightly closed. He held a military weapon on his leg and flapped it from time to time.
"My lord, a letter from Umedo Castle!"
A samurai walked carefully to Senge Masatada's side, then bowed and handed over a letter soaked in sweat.
Chigusa Masatada suddenly opened his eyes, then eagerly took the letter and opened it to read.
"Hahahahaha!"
"The time has come, it's our turn!"
Sengusa Masatada stood up from the stool with the letter held high, and then looked at the samurai in front of him with excitement and said: "All the troops of the Tanemura family have arrived at Umedo Castle to participate in the battle, and there is no one in the territory at this moment. !”
"The opportunity to attack and destroy the Tanemura family has finally arrived!"
"Send the order, all troops march out!"
"oh!"
The samurai of the Chigusa family were already ready. After hearing Sengusa Masatada's order, they roared excitedly.
Originally, Chigusa Masataka wanted to directly send troops to the Ume family to avenge the robbery of Zhitian Silver Mine.
But the Katayama family and the Tanemura family sent troops first, disrupting Chigusa Masataka's plan.
Then he sent an envoy to contact Katayama Nobuho, and successfully convinced Katayama Nobuho, and the two families secretly signed an alliance.
A conspiracy to carve up the Umehu family and the Tanemura family seems to be about to take place.
Putting on the cattail-shaped pocket, taking the sword from the knife-wielding man and slinging it across his waist, Chigusa Masatada slowly walked towards his horse.
A samurai handed the reins to Senge Masatada's hands. After Senge Masatada mounted his horse, he said, "My lord, do you really want to give up the Umeto family's territory to the Katayama family?"
"What, is there something wrong?"
"How can the Katayama family negotiate terms with this family?"
"Hmph! The so-called covenant and agreement are just a piece of paper after all. Believe it or not, but don't believe it. If the Katayama Trustee doesn't know his position after the matter is completed, I don't mind taking care of the Katayama family."
"Kita Ise can only belong to my family!"
After Chigusa Masatada finished speaking, he smiled contemptuously, then kicked the horse in the belly and rushed out, leaving the retainer standing there thoughtfully.
During the Warring States period, people's hearts were in turmoil.
Plots and subterfuge.
Betrayal and backstabbing.
It's really too common.
In the end, it all comes down to who has the bigger fist!
Chigusa Masatodaka, who regards Kitaise as his own, is unwilling to share the fruits of victory with others.
It's a pity that Chigusa Masatada thought he was the oriole, but under another tree, there was Kyogoku Takamasa holding an 8x 98K scope and had turned on the "lock" + "self-aiming".
Super Aim, Already Deployed….
