The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Yamana Hideshichi heard this and said casually, "Perhaps the Ouchi clan members sent out yesterday were all those that Ouchi Kyohiro wanted to abandon. After all, some people in the clan are disobedient and it is better for them to disappear than to exist."

Takeda Hisatsuna: ...

He actually felt that what Yamana Hideshichi said made sense.

But then they couldn't continue fighting.

This war here was a war of expansion for them;
For the Ouchi clan, it was a battle of life and death.

He had a hunch that Pan Jun didn't seem to want to contribute anymore.

Given the disparity in military strength, Pan Yun's only chance of winning is to take action.

Takeda Hisatana was in deep thought, is there any way to make Pan Jun take action?

Yamana Hideshichi urged him: "Have you reported to my father? When will the food and grass arrive? Do you want more troops? Do you want to continue fighting?"

Takeda Hisasuna smiled and said, "If we don't destroy the Ouchi clan now that we have come this far, we won't be able to keep the territory we have conquered.

You and Pan Yun get along well, why don't you go and persuade her to take action? If she is willing to take action, our chances of winning will increase by 50%. "

Yamana Hideshichi narrowed his eyes and said vigilantly: "Father's order has not yet arrived, and you want to take over? Xue Shao is right, you have bad intentions!"

Takeda Hisatsuna's face changed drastically, he was angry and terrified, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I dare not, I just made a suggestion for the family. If so, Ouchi is a fierce tiger, if we can't beat him to death with one blow, when he recovers, we will become his food."

Yamana Hideshichi sneered: "He is a tiger, and I, Yamana, am not a lamb. It is still uncertain who will win or lose."

Hisatsuna Takeda: ...If they had the ability, would they have been suppressed by the Ouchi clan all these years and couldn't even raise their heads?

They are the old guard daimyo, okay?
Originally this whole place belonged to them. The Ouchi clan was a subordinate of the Yamana clan!

Takeda Hisasuna roared in his heart, and Yamana Hideshichi seemed to hear it. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him suspiciously: "Are you trying to be the second Ouchi?"

Takeda Hisasuna was startled, and immediately restrained all his expressions, bowed and said respectfully: "I dare not."

Masuda Shinta, who had hurriedly followed, heard something and paused, with a complicated look on his face. Then, when Yamana Hideshichi and Takeda Hisatsuna looked over, he immediately restrained his expression and stepped forward with a smile: "Wakasama, Takeda-kun, the head of the family has sent someone over."

Takeda Hisasuna immediately left the two of them behind and hurried to meet him.

Masuda Shinta grabbed Yamana Hideshichi who was following him hurriedly, but his eyes were fixed on Takeda Hisasuna's back, and he whispered, "Wakasama, be careful of Takeda Hisasuna."

Yamana Hideshichi paused and frowned: "Why?"

Masuda Shinta whispered, "He is too ambitious and has no respect for Wakaya. From the beginning of the battle until now, he has never asked Wakaya about his battle strategy, and he has never reported to Wakaya afterwards.

If he doesn't take Ruoyang seriously today, he will disrespect the head of the family in the future. I'm afraid that by then..."

Shinta Masuda hesitated to speak.

Yamana Hideshichi's face was gloomy: "I'm afraid he will become the second Ouchi clan."

Masuda Shinta said nothing, and everything remained unclear.

Yamana Hideshichi snorted and chased after Takeda Hisasuna aggressively.

"What? Retreat?" Takeda Hisatuna said in a daze, "Victory is in sight, why should we retreat?"

"Why can't we withdraw?" Yamana Hideshichi stepped forward aggressively, glared at Takeda Hisatuna and asked the visitor, "Did it be my father who ordered us to withdraw?"

"Yes," the visitor said after a pause, "Of course, the family head also said that if Takeda Guard Leader is sure of victory, he can attack, and the family head will provide enough baggage and food."

Yamana Hideshichi looked confused: "Should we retreat or fight?" The visitor said: "These are the original words of the head of the family."

Takeda Hisasuna quickly asked, "Where is that person?"

"The head of the family said that 500 soldiers are already a lot, and the busy farming season is approaching, so we can't delay the people's farming time, so we can't recruit more people..."

Takeda Hisatsuna: ...

A surge of emotions ran through his mind, and he opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Yamana Hideshichi was also confused. He didn't even bother to ask Takeda Hisasuna if he was going to betray their family. He looked bewildered: "Why did father ask us to retreat?"

"Early this morning, Naito Hironori of the Ouchi clan came to visit the head of the family..."

Yamana Hideshichi: "The Ouchi clan wants to negotiate?"

The visitor nodded.

Hisatanagi Takeda felt confused, with regret, fear, relief, and all kinds of emotions flooding his mind, but what was more was the anger of being disappointed in his parents.

What a great opportunity! As long as the family head can find a way to persuade Pan Yun and his group to take action, or send him more troops and warriors, he believes that he can definitely capture Yamaguchi-kan and destroy the Ouchi clan.

By then, the Yamana clan will regain its glory, and he will be the most outstanding retainer in the history of the Yamana clan.

The three of them were silent for too long. The visitor moved uneasily and asked Takeda Hisasuna, "If we attack Yamaguchi Hall by force, how confident is Takeda's leadership?"

Takeda Hisasuna recalled the news that the soldiers had gathered this morning and said with a wry smile, "With the current strength of our troops, we only have a 30% chance of success..."

The man who came was also a retainer of Yamana Mochitoyo. Although his status was far inferior to that of Takeda Hisatuna, he could still have a say in front of Yamana Mochitoyo.

Hearing this, he showed an expression of disbelief: "You dare to encourage the head of the family to attack with only 30% confidence..."

Takeda Hisasuna immediately said: "But as long as we can ask Pan Yun to take action, there is an 80% chance; if the head of the family is willing to send more troops, there is also hope..."

"Naito Hironori said that the Ouchi clan still has tens of thousands of troops, and they sent someone to Izumo Taisha to ask for help. The head of the family will not send any more troops."

"Tens of thousands of troops?" Takeda Hisasuna asked, "The head of the family won't believe such an absurd lie, right? How many people are under the rule of the Ouchi clan? How can they squeeze out tens of thousands of troops?"

The retainer didn't believe it either, but Yamana Mochitoyo didn't dare to gamble, so he said in a deep voice: "I have asked, and the soldiers found out this morning that there are 2,000 soldiers gathered in Yamaguchi Pavilion. It's not surprising that there are 8,000 soldiers hiding in the city."

Takeda Hisatsuna was speechless for a while, then turned around and asked Masuda Shinta: "Do you believe this?"

Masuda Shinta said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible. After all, the Ouchi clan also has maritime trade and has been operating for many years. Maybe they really have secretly raised tens of thousands of soldiers in the city."

Takeda Hisatsuna: ...

The retainer smiled and said, "Of course, no matter how many people there are, they are nothing under the radiation of God, so the head of the family also said that if Takeda-kun can persuade Miss Pan to take action, the head of the family is willing to take the risk and give it a try."

Takeda Hisatana cursed in his heart, even Pan Jun asked him to persuade him, what risk was he taking?
Takeda Hisatuna finally understood that the family head wanted both.

Taking the risk of five hundred men, if it succeeds, Iwami Yamato will be defeated; if it fails, it will only be the loss of five hundred men and him.

Hisatsuga Takeda's face turned dark, but he was reluctant to give up the achievement in front of him.

It was clearly right at hand. If he just stretched out his hand hard enough, his fingertips would be able to touch it...

Takeda Hisako turned around and went to find Pan Yun. He wanted to try again. (End of this chapter)
