Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 820 The East-West War (28) The Strange Situation and the Xiuxin That Doesn't Conform to History

Being able to get the support of daimyo is extremely important for the current show family, but more importantly, it is to make people full of confidence, and the best way to make people full of confidence is to win a big victory on the front line.

Compared with when Tokugawa Ieyasu went to Luo in history, and the Tōkaidō daimyo moved accordingly, Hideka encountered more troubles in going to Luo this time than Tokugawa Ieyasu in history.

But this is also beneficial to the Xiu family, that is, unlike Tokugawa Ieyasu's success in Shangluo in history, it relied on the help of other daimyos, so that he would need to spend more than ten years gradually establishing his authority in the future, and gradually Cut the domain.

The Xiu family relied on themselves all the way to the Luo this time. After the war, when it came to rewards and changes, their confidence was far stronger than that of Tokugawa Ieyasu in history.

Now that they have the support of the daimyos, the Xiu family will naturally reciprocate.The Xiu family said to them: "Today, you are the prime ministers. I, the Toyotomi Hide family and my Fengchun family will never forget this affection and intention. Please also sacrifice your life for the peace of the world!"

"Roar~!" All the generals roared angrily to show their response.

Hideka, who received everyone's response, quickly made a battle plan: "The enemy in Okazaki is nothing more than a disease. If Hitachi Shou (Satake Yoshishige) doesn't dislike it, this city will be handed over to you to take it down." , I will send Chang Lujie to lead the headquarters and firearms to help you break the city, and I will entrust you with the full authority to break the city."

"Yes, please take care of the Youfu." Satake Yoshishige said confidently.

However, the Xiu family was still worried, and asked him, "How many days will it take to take this city?"

"Three" Satake Yoshishige was going to blurt out 3 days, after all, there was an example of Togawa Tatsuyasu breaking Hamamatsu before, and there were 2 defenders in Hamamatsu Castle at that time.

But after thinking about the gap between his army and the Fengchun army, he promised Hideka, "Okazaki can be captured on the 5th."

"Okay, I'll give you 5 days. After 5 days, take people to Owari on the northern line, and attack Nagakute Castle. After taking it, turn to go over the mountains and enter Mino, and take the three counties of Keer, Toki, and Ena. Lead the Central Road Corps into Nongzhou."

Hearing the Hideka's order, Yoshishige Satake, Masatoshi Suga and others came out one after another and said, "Obey!"

After arranging the affairs of Okazaki, Hideya looked at the others and said, "Tomorrow the Japanese front will move to Kariya, and the vanguard will still be handed over to Samasuke (颕娃久虎) and Matsuhachiro. Before encircling Narumi Castle for the army, I will You take down Dataka Castle first. Fu Shishiro replaced Hitasuke after he left, and launched a strategy against Zhita County."

"Osaka made a good move, and sent Senator Aoki here. He is the cousin of Guan Bai and uncle, and he is the best of my Toyo ministers. He has also served as the elder of the Gifu clan for many years, and he has a deep connection with Nobi. His prestige. There’s another capable person in Osaka, and I’ve done everything I’ve done before photographing him.”

When it comes to Aoki Kazuki's Hide family, he feels a little helpless. Ever since he abandoned Okayama Fancheng to become an independent daimyo with Hideji's secret support, his relationship with Hide's family has become very bad. .

And the key is that he really has a deep influence in Nobuo. The original Patriarch was killed, and many relatives were accused of being rebellious Nobuo samurai, gradually stabilized their emotions with his arrival.

Previously, in order to deal with Xiujia's menacing Shangluo army, he went to Osaka to ask for the pardon of Samurai Nobuo's crimes. After obtaining the consent, he successfully attracted a large number of diehards.

This made Hideka's plan to use Hideji's death to quickly adjust Owari to go bankrupt. Otherwise, why would Hideka confront him in Okazaki?

But the situation has reached the current situation, and it has come to a situation where we have to fight. Since we want to fight the Xiu family, we don't have to be afraid.

There is just one thing that makes the Xiu family very strange. You can fight if you want to. What are you doing in front of the Xiu family to spread the news that the Xiu family is accused of being an enemy?Is it simply to disturb the morale of the army?

Fortunately, when Yingwa Jiuhu cut it, he said, "Master, please slow down a little bit?"

"Slow down?" At the moment when the morale had just gathered, Ying Wa Jiuhu's words hurt morale very much, so many people cast strange glances at him.

I just heard Yingwa Jiuhu say over there, "My lord, I always feel that something is wrong with this matter. Why didn't such explosive news be announced after their main force arrived? It would hit our army's morale even more. Even if the news may It can’t be completely blocked, and there’s no need to send someone here to spread the word, right?”

This is actually a question that the Xiu family was puzzled by, and immediately asked Jiuhu, "Zuo Mazhu, what do you want to say?"

"I'm not familiar with Servant Aoki, but I know a little bit about Ishida Osamu. If this strategy comes from the guard of Ishida Osamu, I still have some understanding."

"You mean..."

"Yes, the lord should have thought of it too. I think this is Ishida Jibu deliberately provoking us and wanting us to take the initiative."

Jiwa Jiuhu came up with a new idea, setting all of this as the opposite strategy, but was asked by Fujido Takatora, "He has only more than 3 people in the hands of Aoki attendants and Ishida Jibu. Tian's servant's army was only 4.

Our army is three times larger than him, so what good will he do if we are all attracted to him?Are you planning to rely on Narumi Cage to defend to the death?It's better to retreat to Furuno City, where it is relatively strong. "

"I don't know what the idea is, but I always feel that there are abnormal problems in it, so I just remind the lord not to be impatient or to think calmly."

In the end, Kuwa's words resonated with the Hide family. After he ordered the main force to enter Kariya Castle, he waited for the news of his departure before giving instructions on the next step.

And the battle situation on Nobi's side has also become a little quicker. Facing the menacing attack of Hideka, Aoki Kazuki and Ishida Mitsunari chose to avoid the battle in the south except for Narumi Castle and Dataka Castle. Oda Hidenobu is in charge of defending the city of Dagua, an important town on the line.

The Hide family asked Nagawa Jiutora to take Toyotomi Shigeie and Ashikaga's family to take Dataka Castle and Narumi Castle, and let his son Toyotomi Teru's family go down with the assistance of Toyodo Takatora to launch a strategy on Takuma Castle.

Toyotomi Teru's family, as always, put the etiquette first and then the soldiers. After all, in his opinion, if the Oda family, who is a native of Nobi, can surrender, it will save the Hide family a lot of things.

However, Oda Hidenobu offered him a condition that was difficult to agree to: "Osaka has promised me the land of Owari after the war. Can the Ufu grant me Mikawa, Mino or Ise Ikuni? If possible, I would like to Take the soldiers of Furuno as the vanguard of the Youfu."

Hideo who heard this condition was going to be laughed out of anger, what is his identity as Oda Hidenobu, dare to make such a condition with Hideo?
He, Oda Hidenobu, only had 13 koku before the war, and he really dared to ask the Osaka Lion for Owari Ichikuni, which is the upper country of 54 koku.As for the Meinong, Ise, and Sanhe that he asked for from the Xiu family in the future, which one is a neighboring country with less than 30 shi?

Before the battle started, Zhixing doubled by jumping from left to right and left and right. He Oda Hidenobu is even more greedy than his grandfather!
"Such a condition is unacceptable. Let Sado and Hachiro take down the city of Yakuza for me. I want to meet this grandson of Oda Youfu in person."

Following Hideo's order, the Narumi-Otaka defense line and the Kuga defense line ushered in the Eastern Army's offensive respectively.The things they did and the demands they made before were so tough, Xiujia thought their resistance would be fierce.

But who would have expected to receive the news that Odaka had fallen to the castle just one day later, the Western Army withdrew from Narumi the next day, and received information that Hidenobu Oda led the troops to retreat to Nafuro half a day later.

Ishida Misachi, who had been confronting each other for so long at the border of Nobi and said so many harsh words to each other, retreated so easily?
With a trace of suspicion, Hideo temporarily left Toyotomi Teruie and others in Kariya, using them as a link between himself and Okazaki Castle.

The army marched into Owari in mighty force, and began to sweep the eastern part of Chita County and Aichi County. The vanguard army had already surrounded Nafurano Castle.

As the city where Oda Nobunaga started, Hideyoshi was eventually used to house Oda Hidenobu after he came to power. The public base here is very fond of the Oda family.

So when Oda Hidenobu returned to Furuno Castle, the Hide family didn't feel much surprise.But correspondingly, he would give up the entire Zhiduo County by doing so.

If it wasn't for Xiujia's bug, maybe they wouldn't have noticed something was wrong.

In history, Oda Hidenobu did not follow Ishida Mitsunari's advice and retreated. He wanted to protect his own skills, so he chose to fight Tokugawa Ieyasu in a field battle and eventually lost.This shows that Oda Hidenobu's character is like this.

But the behavior of Oda Hidenobu now is very different from his character in history.Unless you tell me that Oda Hidenobu is also a time traveler, Hideka will not believe that he will make such a rational decision.

So while Xiujia continued to encircle Na Furuno, Xiujia asked the Ashikaga family and Sanada Nobushige to lead his team to try to return to Toe to investigate the situation.

Don't say it, it doesn't matter if you don't check it, you will really encounter something when you check it.

On the way they left Kariya Castle and continued to move towards Okazaki, they encountered a Toyotomi army of nearly 2 people. The flags behind this army were all five-seven paulownia patterns, which were Toyotomi banners from Omi and Settsu. The general in command of this team is Toyotomi Veteran General Sengoku Hidehisa.

Sengoku Hidehisa apparently did not expect to encounter a Fengchun army in the hinterland of Mikawa, but it was impossible to retreat at this moment. Nearly 3 people from both sides fought in Mishimabara on the south side of Okazaki.

The Ashikaga family, whose military strength was weak, sent envoys for help to their elder brother Toyotomi Teruya of Kariya Castle and Suga Masatoshi of Okazaki Castle. The reinforcements from both sides arrived one after another after fighting for 2 hours. Toyoharu The military strength of the family has reached more than 3 people, which is more than 2 of Toyotomi Banner.

The combat effectiveness of Toyotomi Banner can still be trusted, but the strength of the troops is divided by disadvantages, and they are surrounded by enemy-occupied areas, which makes Toyotomi Banner's morale a little low.The two sides fought until the sunset, and the battle finally ended with the victory of the Fengchun Army.

Xianshi Xiujiu escaped again, but his lieutenant Xinzhuang Naodada revealed the whole story to Toyotomi Hui's family.

It turns out that all of this is really Ishida Mitsunari's plan. He wanted to reproduce the story of Hideka's Mikawa raid back then, deliberately put Hideka in Owari, and sent people to raid Okazaki Castle to rescue Okubo Tadao in the city, and then the two sides joined forces. Reignite the Tokugawa family's front behind enemy lines.

I have to admit that Ishida Mitsunari's plan is very ambitious and highly feasible.But his opponent is Xiujia, who has long felt that something is wrong, and after seeing Oda Hidenobu's performance that is different from history, he is more determined that the other party will make trouble.

As long as any other daimyo is here, even Takeda Tiger or Uesugi Kenshin will probably be recruited.

Shinjo Naodada also reported that Kazuki Aoki had adjusted the Noo daimyo, and gathered 4.6 people in Noo, plus Oda Hidenobu's 5000 troops, with a total strength of more than 5.

The general of the Mikawa Raid was Mitsunari Ishida, who had already brought 1 people plus 4000 Isemen and 1.5 people from Toyotomi Banner brought from Settsu and Omi to Ise to wait to cross the sea.

It was also because of the weakening of the frontline forces that Kazuki Aoki thought that Narumi's line of defense was no longer enough to defend, so he led people back after resisting for two days.

And they also got a very important piece of information that Ishida Mitsunari's second team of 1 people will land on the coast of Mikawa Yoshida later today.

The Toyotomi Teru family, the Ashikaga family and others are keenly aware that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to catch Ishida Mitsunari!

Seeing that the sky has gradually dimmed, there is not much time left for them.After deliberation, they unanimously decided that there was no more time to ask Xiu's family for instructions, and they had to hurry up and make arrangements.

They sent people to send letters to Xiu's family outside the Guye City to report the situation, and at the same time led people to set up an ambush point to the south.The most important thing is the arrangements for the garrison of Fukuchi, Nishio and other castles on the north side and Kambara area on the east side.

Nobushige Sanada checks for omissions at this moment and fills in the gaps, "The navy is stationed in Hamamatsu, and most of the ships responsible for blocking Ise Bay are stationed on the Atsumi coast. Did you send Kuai Ma to inform the second office that they send ships to break into Ise Bay? Saying no can have a miraculous effect!"

His suggestion was quickly agreed by Fujido Takatora, "Since Ishida Jibu wants to transport [-] people here at a time, the number of ships used must be hundreds. I am afraid that so many ships are now in the Kumano and Toyotomi waters in the entire Ise Bay. Military ships will be requisitioned. In this way, there will be fewer ships blocking Ise Bay, and it is indeed a good time for sea ships to break in.

If they can be tied up in Sanhe Bay, with strong ships and sharp guns outside, and strong soldiers on the coast inside, how many days can the food and grass brought by these sailors last?At that time, there is only one way to defect and surrender. "

"If that's the case." As he spoke, his eyes had turned to Toyotomi Hui's family and he continued, "Congratulate the young master in advance for his extraordinary achievements. Not only will he stop the enemy's conspiracy to save the family from danger, but he will also destroy a hundred enemy ships in one fell swoop. Ship, the seven seas can't stop me!"

Soon there were envoys galloping back and forth on the entire Mishimabara battlefield, shouting, "The young master has an order, everyone discards the seized goods, lays down the luggage, and carries dry food and torches to continue forming the team!"

With the order issued by the envoy, although the situation is still unclear and they are a little puzzled by the order, the military training of Fengchun's family for many years has made them develop the habit of acting according to the order.

Of course, since this team has a reserve team, there will naturally be disobedient ones.For those who are disobedient and unwilling to give up the things they have seized, the supervisor in charge will go up and reward him with two whips mercilessly, so that he will never dare to disobey his orders next time.

The team was quickly organized, and led by Toyotomi Teru, Ashikaga and Sanada Nobushige, they galloped away in three directions.On the other hand, Masatoshi Suga, who came to support from Okazaki, took the heavy responsibility of defending Hideka's artillery, and quickly led his people to retreat to Okazaki after finishing the fight here.
