Sudden changes disrupted all plans of Kyogoku Gaomasa.
Kyogoku Takamasa did not agree with the plan to send troops to Mino from the beginning, but since Kyogoku Takahiro had promised to join Toki Yorijun's side, the Kyogoku family had to send troops.
But in Kyogoku Takamasa's original plan, the Kyogoku family would not work too hard.
Kyogoku Takamasa originally planned to have the Asakura family and Toki Noraijun fight to the death with Toki Yorigi in Mino, but the Kyogoku family only needed to contain the Rokkaku family in Omi, so that the Kyogoku family could Work without exerting effort to minimize losses.
But now Rokkaku Sadayori doesn't follow the routine. He first makes a move to go north into the hinterland of the Kyogoku family, and then suddenly takes a detour to the Ise Street next door. This makes Kyogoku Takamasa deploy the troops on the front line of Minigaura Castle. The potential has lost its original function.
And once the Rokkaku family is allowed to successfully enter Mino, the Asakura family and Toki Yorijun will definitely not be the opponents of Toki Yorigi and Rokkaku Sadayori.
As for the idea of allowing Rokkaku Sadayori to enter Mino and the Kyogoku family to directly go south to Kannonji Castle to attack the Rokkaku family, Kyogoku Takamasa had not thought about it, but he quickly gave up.
Not to mention how long it would take to capture a fortified city like Kannonji Castle, nor to mention how many powerful people the Kyogoku family would have to face along the way. Even if the Kyogoku family does successfully attack Kannonji Castle, if the Asakura family on the Mino side is defeated, Rokkaku Sadayori can directly lock Kyogoku Takamasa to Minami Omi with one strike.
At that time, wouldn’t Kyogoku Gaozheng take the initiative to send a wave of people to death? What's more, the Kyogoku family has no reason to send troops to Minami Omi (the Kyogoku family's banner for starting the war this time is to support Toki Yorijun, and they should fight around Mino)
Therefore, under such a situation, the primary target must be Meinong.
"My lord, the city of Osawa has been lost. The Asakura family and Tokijiroden have retreated towards Ohno and Ikeda counties. We should quickly join them and fight the enemy together. Only in this way can we reverse the defeat." Kyogoku. Beside Takamasa, Higuchi Naofusa was the first to speak.
Higuchi Naofusa, who is known as the most intelligent general in Kita Omi in history, although he is still a little immature at this time, he still shows a vision that is different from ordinary people.
"Uncle-sama, how many troops does the Asakura family have entering Mino at this time?" Kyogoku Takamasa turned his attention to Kyogoku Hidetsuna.
Kyogoku Hidetsuna quickly replied, "The people entering Mino are the Asakura family's vanguard, a total of three thousand people, led by Asakura Eemon Daifudono (Asakura Ketaka), the Ono-gun eldest son of the Asakura family."
"Due to the fall of Oisu Castle, in order to avoid being cut off by the Toki clan on the mountain road, the Asakura family's subsequent troops are planning to use the Kinohonjo area within the family's territory. The lord (Kyogoku Takahiro) has agreed to this."
Although Echizen Country, where the Asakura family is located, is adjacent to Mino, the border is entirely mountainous (readers who have played Shino 14 should have the impression that it is the area around Gujo Hachiman Castle). Previously, Daimulus City was still under the control of Toki Noraijun. Although the mountain road was difficult to travel, the Asakura family was still able to take this road.
But now that Daisang City has fallen, if the Toki family is blocked halfway, it will be a dilemma. Therefore, the Asakura family's troops can only pass through the territory of the Kyogoku family.
After listening to Kyogoku Hidetsuna's words, Kyogoku Takamasa quickly turned his attention to a map in front of him.
"The people in the eastern part of Mino are all under the command of Toki Yorii. Due to the fall of Daisan Castle, the northern part of Mino has also been controlled by Toki Yorii's side. At this time, the entire Mino has its own Nishi Mino."
"It seems that Toki Yorijun is planning to start from here, hoping to control Nishi Mino before Toki Yorigi, and then use the Asakura family and the main family to fight against Toki Yorige?" Kyogoku Takamasa's eyes are in the picture and Omi's The neighboring counties of Ohno and Ikeda scanned the area.
"Of course, Toki Yorijun's plan cannot be hidden from the viper, so he will definitely pursue it. And if the Rokkaku family's troops are walking through Ise Street, they will definitely meet up with Toki Yorigi's side here, so what happens next There is no doubt that the place where the battle took place was Simeon."
"Right now, it will take at least five days for the Asakura family's army to reach the battlefield, and it will only take two days for the Rokkaku family's troops to reach the battlefield at the fastest. Therefore, our first task is to hold off the Rokkaku family for three days."
"To the north of Ise Street...here is..."
"Sekihara!"
In the chorus of everyone, Kyogoku Takamasa slowly stopped his hand at a place called Sekigahara in the picture.
...
After the evaluation, Higuchi Naofusa and others began to assemble their troops. Kyogoku Takamasa also came to his house to bid farewell to Kyogoku Takahiro, Mrs. Kotogawa, Mrs. Sanjo and others.
"Father, the army will set off in half an hour." Kyogoku Takamasa stood in the center of the hall, and Mrs. Xin'an and Axiang were dressing up for Kyogoku Takamasa.
"My son must be careful during this trip. If anything happens, you can return to Imahama Castle quickly!" Kyogoku Takahiro warned from the side.
"By the way, is there anything that a father can help you with?"
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded. Although Kyogoku Takahiro can be a cheat sometimes, he still cares about himself very much.
But am I, Kyogoku Takamasa, someone who would sell out my teammates? !
"Father, just stay with mother in the city. If nothing happens, you can supervise the deployment of military supplies."
"In addition, the situation around Omi is chaotic at this time. Father must take more precautions. You can ask Asami Tsushima and others to patrol the territory, set up checkpoints at various important roads, and restrict pedestrian access."
"Today's Bang City is our family's stronghold. In addition to my father and my family members, all the family members of our family members are also gathered here. No chaos is allowed."
"I believe that Rokuro Matsunagahiko will handle everything in the city properly, but if something happens in the city, my father will still need to be at home."
The implication is that I have already arranged all the big and small things at home. You, Kyogoku Takahiro, just need to stay in the city and don't run around.
"It's so good! It's so good!" Hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's words, Kyogoku Takahiro suddenly felt comfortable in his heart. Since playing Kyogoku Takamasamoto's server, he has been too idle.
But I have to say, this feeling is really great...
The military situation was urgent. After finishing dressing up, Kyogoku Takamasa didn't bother to talk to his wives anymore. He turned around and left Yashiki, leaving Mrs. Sanjo and others reluctantly watching Kyogoku Takamasa's leaving back, secretly sigh.
...
Outside the city, when they saw Kyogoku Takamasa coming out of the city, Hatayama Chaobu and Nagasaka Nobumasa and others approached and quickly brought their horses over.
This time when troops were sent out, Kyogoku Takamasa was only accompanied by Hatayama Nobunobu, Nagasaka Nobumasa, Hayashi Masanobu, Mitsui Takatora, Kuchiki Takatsuna, Yamazaki Hiroyuki and others.
In the past, Kyogoku Takamasa had a lot of people around him, but now as the Kyogoku family's territory continues to expand, most of them have been assigned outside.
People like Kyogoku Takakatsu, Kyogoku Hidemasa, Endo Kyouyo, Kasahara Kiyosuna, and Ishida Nohihiro were placed in Ise, while Onoki Kunishige, Nomura Mototaka, and Ishida Masamura were placed in Ise. Uesaka Munanobu who assisted Wakasa.
Numata Mitsukazu is now in charge of the government affairs of Takashima County led by Kyogoku Takamasa, Matsunagahide is Imahama Castle, Matsunaga Nagayori is in charge of the defense of Takashima County, and Higuchi Naofusa is the soldier and food officer who went out this time and did not accompany the army.
Suddenly, Kyogoku Takamasa felt that it was time to recruit some new people to his retainer team (crazy hint 0.0)
"Duo!"
Kyogoku Takamasa kicked the horse in the belly, and the more than 10,000 troops gathered in Imahama Castle slowly marched towards Mino.
