Wakasa, Goze Mountain Castle.
Everyone in the Takeda family still doesn't know that they have become abandoned by the Rokkaku family and Ashikaga Yoshiharu. At this moment, Takeda Nobuntoyo, Muto Tomoe and others are still dreaming of "protecting the land and calming the people."
In their view, with the Rokkaku family and Ashikaga Yoshiharu coming forward, and the Ichikoku clan launching a campaign within the Kyogoku family territory, Kyogoku Takamasa must withdraw his troops no matter what.
All the Takeda family needs to do is to settle down in Goze Mountain Castle.
All of a sudden, Takeda Nobuyo no longer panicked, and he actually had the time to hold a renge party!
Looking at Takeda Nobutoyo and others who were chatting with each other frequently, a sneer flashed through the heart of Yamagata Shengxin in the crowd.
"The Takeda family is indeed hopeless!"
"Perhaps only our Yamagata Shengnobu can stabilize the Takeda family again! The decision made that day was indeed the right choice. Takeda Nobuntoyo is not the person who can take charge of the overall situation!"
With the enemy at hand, the family is in chaos. Instead of stabilizing the situation, Takeda Nobuhiro holds singing parties all day long, which is useless and costs a lot of money. If Takeda Nobuyoshi hadn't been in charge, Yamagata Shengxin would have wiped out the whole thing with one blow.
Out of sight out of mind!
"Shimonosuke-den seems to be in low spirits!" Next to Yamagami Shengxin, Yoshimi Masakune raised his wine plate and said with a smile on his face.
Yamagata Shengxin also quickly picked up the wine plate and replied: "Is it possible that Suruga Mamoru is also interested in Renge?"
"Haha, how can you, a rough guy like me, know anything about renge! It's just that my master is so elegant that he has to accompany him!" Yijian Changjing said helplessly, shaking his head.
These days, people who are not educated people really can’t understand things like renge and waka! There are very few samurai who know how to perform Lienge, and they have all specially learned from some educated people.
Sometimes, some down-and-out ministers from Kyoto would come down to the local area, and the local samurai would ask the minister to teach them the art of Japanese songs in order to be elegant and improve their B-level. The ministers did not refuse anyone who came, because it gave them the opportunity to eat and drink openly.
In short, Waka Renge is indeed a very pretentious existence in this era.
"Why isn't Muto Uenosuke-don there?" Yamagata Shengxin looked around and found Muto Tomoe, so he asked curiously.
Yoshimi Masakune quickly replied: "Muto Uenosuke is inspecting the city defense, don't worry about him!"
"Come on, come on, Shimonosuke-don, if you and I don't agree with this, then let's have a good drink!"
.......
In the evening, Yamagata Shengxin returned to Yashiki drunk.
As soon as he entered the door, a voice suddenly woke up Shanxian Shengxin.
"Shimonosuke-den, are you ready?"
"Inuhachiro?"
"Muto Tomoe and Yoshimi Masakune take turns inspecting various parts of the city. It's really not easy to make a move!"
"When will the Kyogoku family's troops arrive?"
"Tomorrow at noon, my lord will personally lead a large army to the city! Whether we can successfully capture Gozeyama Castle depends entirely on Shimonosuke-den!"
Shanxian Shengxin shook his head a few times to keep himself awake and said: "There is really no chance during the day, so I can only look for opportunities at night!"
"Is there anything you need help with, Shimonosuke-don?"
After hearing Yamaoka Inuhachiro's words, Yamagata Shengxin was silent for a moment, and then said, "If someone can cause a commotion in the city at night and attract the attention of Yoshimi Masakune, then opening the city gate can get twice the result with half the effort." Got it!"
"Are you causing trouble? I, Inuhachiro, am good at this!"
"I wonder where the warehouse for storing grain is located in Gozeyama Castle?"
"There are two places! One is the warehouse between Ninomaru and Tokumaru, and the other is in the main pill!"
"But I don't know which one is easier to succeed?"
"The Honmaru is guarded by Izumi Masakune's team. It's not that I don't believe in Inuhachiro's ability, but just to avoid accidents! Dongqulun is guarded by me, and Inuhachiro can disguise himself as a samurai under me. I believe that in the future Inuhachiro will definitely do a great job!"
"So, please prepare a complete set of equipment for me, Nosuke-don! Tomorrow night, we will act together!"
"clear!"
.........
It suddenly started to rain lightly, and the next morning, the road outside Gozeyama Castle was a little muddy.
The Kyogoku family's march was forced to slow down, but they also arrived outside Gozeyama Castle after noon. Along with the Kyogoku family's troops, the Kuriya family's troops also arrived.
Kyogoku Takamasa's main formation was set up in the plain area two miles east of Goze Mountain Castle, and Kuriya Mototaka's main formation was located near Kyogoku Takamasa's main formation.
"Come in, Sakyou. You're welcome!" In the Kyogoku family's main formation, Kuriya Mototaka warmly greeted Kyogoku Takamasa.
Kyogoku Takamasa also smiled and replied: "Ukyo Ryōden's style remains the same, and the battle at Hakoyama Castle was indeed a beautiful one!"
"Sakyo is so complimentary when he comes to the palace. It's just Takeda Nobuyo who doesn't understand military strategy. Otherwise, how could I win?"
"Luck can sometimes be a form of strength, Ukyo Ryōden doesn't have to be humble!"
"Sakyo Jinden, I have come here today to ask Sakyo Jinden about the upcoming attack on Goze Mountain Castle! I wonder if Sakyo Jinden has any arrangements?" Kuriya Gentaka set his sights on Kyogoku Takamasa. body, ready to see what Kyogoku Takamasa thinks about the siege.
Kyogoku Takamasa placed his hand on the desk and clicked it a few times, then raised his head and said, "If I say that my family is sure to capture Gozeyama Castle within today, I wonder if Ukyo Ryōden believes it or not?"
"Within today?"
Kuriya Gentaka shook his head, "The terrain of Goze Mountain Castle is steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Even though our troops are several times larger than the enemy's, it is absolutely impossible to capture the city in one day!"
"In my opinion, Goze Mountain Castle cannot be captured in less than two months!"
"If Ukyo Ryo doesn't believe it, then let's wait and see!" Kyogoku Takamasa said confidently with his hands in front of his chest.
Seeing Kyogoku Takamasa being so confident, Kuriya Gentaka also began to think secretly.
After a long time, Kuriya Gentaka asked tentatively: "The strategy of Sakyo entering the palace is known to the whole world. Since Sakyo entering the palace is sure to capture Gozeyama Castle within today, it must not be without aim!"
"I wonder if there's anything I need to do?"
"My family is planning to plunder the castle town and port of Gozeyama Castle in an hour. Is Ukyo Ryo willing to join us?"
Kuriya Gentaka's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Such a good thing, how can I not do it?"
The castle town of Gozeyama Castle and Kohama Port are fat and oily places. Even if the things that should be moved have been moved away, there will definitely be a lot of good things left.
The loot would probably bring in a lot of money, so how could Kuriya Gentaka refuse?
"Very good, then Ukyo Ryo should go back and get ready. In an hour, we will send out troops together!"
"ha!"
After Kuriya Gentaka left, Numata Mitsuwa asked with some confusion: "My lord, if the plan goes well, we can capture Gozeyama Castle tonight! If we rob the castle town at this time, the castle town will inevitably be damaged. , this is not a good thing for us!"
"It's precisely because we have a plan at night that we can't let the enemy notice anything unusual!"
"The castle town of Gozeyama Castle is so wealthy. If we don't send troops to plunder it, wouldn't it make the enemy suspicious?"
"Can........"
"It doesn't matter! The things we robbed still belong to our family. Besides, the Takeda family's business model is very different from ours. We just take this opportunity to destroy Gozeyama Castle's inherent business system. Then we can implement our business policies." Much smoother!”
