Warring States Eagle

"Aren't these people sent by my brother-in-law?" Looking at the strangers who suddenly appeared in front of him, Haruhi Gensuke thought suspiciously.

Just when Kasuga Gensuke looked at Shigetada Muzo and others who appeared in front of him.Kizo Shigetada also looked at the young man in front of him.

Shigetada Muzuo finally found the current young man before the date required by Masaragi's list after spending a lot of hard work.If Kansuke Yamamoto hadn't introduced a few local farmers who were familiar with the situation of Kai to Kizo Shigetada before going to Kyushu Hizen, he probably wouldn't be able to find here before the stipulated date.Fortunately, after thousands of rushes, they finally found this young man before he left here.

But when he saw this young man with his own eyes, Kizuo Shigetada couldn't help being puzzled.Is this really one of the few people the Lord wants him to find first?Take a closer look, this young man looks quite handsome as described in the information in the list. Although his face is disheveled and his clothes are shabby, he can't hide his handsome appearance.

"Could it be that the purpose of the lord to recruit this person back is for the sake of the Tao?" Mu Zuo Zhongzhong finally came to such a conclusion.But he quickly rejected this conclusion.Because he knows very well that the lord of his family is not interested in public Tao.Although being numerous is a fashion of many big names in rich families at present, the lord of his family seems to be a little disgusted with this way. [

"Isn't it recruiting back to be a public Taoist, is it really to be cultivated as a great future? Just such a farmer?" Although in the list given to him by Zheng Liang, many people are young, such as Kawada Yoshiro he found before leaving Kyushu .But those people can be regarded as people from a small wealthy family after all.Now Zhengliang wants him to recruit such a young farmer.He had to wonder.

But Muzuo Shigetada would know that the young farmer in front of him was Masanobu Kosaka, one of the four ministers of the Takeda family in the future.After being kicked out of the house by his brother-in-law this time, he finally became Takeda Shingen's valet by coincidence, and later, Shingen was officially promoted to the rank of Servant General.Responsible for the defense of several front-line strongholds, such as Kaijin Castle and Komoro Castle, mainly resisting the attack of the Uesugi Army and developing new territories. During the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima in 1561.Successfully attacked the rear troops of the Uesugi Army by surprise, and achieved great military exploits. Finally, Shingen officially changed his name to Masanobu Takasaka according to the Takasaka clan of the wealthy family of Shinano Kingdom.

He is a very calm commander, especially good at retreating battles, so he is also known as "Fleeing Zheng" (another saying is that he is good at avoiding direct combat with the enemy).In the battle of Mikatahara, when everyone decided to attack, he decided to stay and wait for more opportunities, but Takeda Katsuyori was left out in the cold. In 1575, Masatsumi Takasaka, his son, died in the Battle of Nagashino. He did not participate in the battle because he stayed in Kaizu Castle to guard Uesugi Kenshin.After hearing the news of the defeat of the Takeda army, he led the army to the border to meet Katsuyori's defeated army.And sent the flag armor, so that Katsuyai and his party can return to the country with a clear flag.

Masanobu Takasaka is not only famous for his commanding skills.He also left his name in later generations because of his relationship with Takeda Shingen.It is said that because Takeda Shingen took a fancy to Gensuke's beauty (he is known as the most beautiful man in the Warring States Period), he was once a Taoist of Shingen. At that time, there was a letter proving their unusual relationship. This is the only one in Japanese history. love letter.

Of course, Masara asked Kizo Shigetada to recruit Kosaka Masanobu according to the list, naturally not for the so-called public, but for the talents he will show in the future.

Just when Kizo Shigetada found Kosaka Masanobu, Hizen fell into intense preparations for the battle.With the arrival of June in Tianwen 13, the busy season of spring plowing and farming has come to an end, and Masatoshi is also mobilizing his troops, preparing to take down the five islands on the sea southwest of Hizen in one fell swoop.Let the Luo family get a more stable border in the southwest.

"My lord, the preparations for the second standing navy located in the coastal waters of Hirado and Nagasaki Islands have been completed. According to my lord's order, the first and third standing navy will also draw some ships to participate in this five-island strategy." In the council hall of Kishidake Castle, which can accommodate hundreds of people sitting at the same time, military adviser Kakukuma Ishimune reported to Masara.

"My lord, the ships, gunpowder, grain and other materials are also ready, which can fully supply our family for a month of continuous combat at sea." Togo Heiji, who is in charge of the cabinet on the other side, also reported.

"This time the strategy is still mainly about recruiting, what do you two think?" Knowing that the army is ready, Zheng Liang nodded and said.

"My lord, you mean to appease the sailors of the five islands first, and if the other party is unwilling, the family will attack again?" Kakukuma Ishimune asked.

"No, it was to attack the sailors of Wudao first, and after they were repelled, they sent people to persuade them to surrender." Zheng Liang said.Although Zhengliang decided to expand the navy's fleet a few years ago, so far, the number of navy ashigaru in the three squads has not been full.With such a lineup to fight against the navy of the five islands, there may be a lot of losses.So Zheng Liang decided to hit the Wudao sailors with a few blows first, and then give some sweet dates to make them surrender to the Luo family.

"If this is the case, how about letting Masatora Tao, the general of the navy of the family, be the envoy to persuade him to surrender?" Ishimune Kakukuma knew that it would be difficult for him to change the things that Masara had decided, so he simply thought about how to make the decision for Masara This thing is done.

"My lord has exactly that intention." Zheng Liang nodded.

"Master" At this moment, Kansuke Yamamoto's cry sounded in the compound outside the meeting hall.

"Kanzhu?" Zheng Liang asked in confusion.According to the previous deployment, Kansuke Yamamoto was sent by Masara to Nanhizen to personally arrange the preparations for the Goto Raiders at this time. Why did he suddenly come back without authorization?Moreover, when the head of the family is discussing matters, it is very impolite to shout openly nearby.This is not something that Kansuke Yamamoto, who has always paid attention to etiquette, can do at all.

"Deng dong dong..." Just when Zheng Liang was puzzled, Kansuke Yamamoto appeared at the gate of the assembly hall, leaning on a cane.Although it is inconvenient to walk, Kansuke Yamamoto's pace is even faster than ordinary people at this time.

"Military division? Who are you?" Seeing Kansuke Yamamoto's urgent appearance, Masara asked even more suspiciously.

"My lord, please take a look at the urgent information sent this morning from Higo's Akabane Shinnosuke." After Kansuke Yamamoto saluted Masara, he immediately presented a secret report to Masara.The latter opened immediately and looked up.

"Dayou kid!" After reading the secret report, Zheng Liang slapped the desk in front of him, almost knocking some of the documents on the ground. [

"Master?" Kakukuma Ishimune and Togo Heiji saw Masara's sudden anger.

"Look at it." Masara placed the letter in his hand on the desk casually, signaling Kakukuma Ishimune and Togo Heiji to come and read it. (to be continued...)
