Tianzheng Er (1578) Late April Preparation Longwang Mountain Decaying Wood Keystone, Takamatsu Village, Heyang County, China

"I see, this is troublesome"

Yagoro, Yoichiro and Yoshibui nodded as Kei An, the main taxpayer of Decaying Wood, murmured. Reizo, Shoguno Shimono is silent. The main tax was also over thirty years old. When the Maori attack is over, I will remove them from the military and make them my direct commander. There were no particular problems, either in the military or in the military. When it comes to guys who are never the type to hang up but do steady, tough jobs, it's a surrounding assessment of the main tax.

The Dragon Royal Mountain I laid out is half a mile from Takamatsu Castle. Takamatsu Castle looks good, but I could tell from here that it was hard to attack. Takamatsu Castle is located on a plain stretching next to the footsteps river. There was an elongated, tall hill in the plains, and the main circle of Takamatsu Castle, and two circles, and three circles in the hills. Behind it lies the mansion of the ministers. Once again, there is a foothill behind it, which protects the mansion. I mean, it's hard to attack from behind.

And the perimeter of the castle is clearly a wetland. There are several swamps and ponds. This will not allow the army to deploy. Maybe the ground will be pretty soft too. I wonder if there are places where the weight of armor sinks every foot. The Ten Soldiers said the road at the main gate can be ridden by one horse, but it's hard to get there. Even bow and arrow attacks are likely to cause considerable damage. Must be hard to get mosquitoes out in the summer. Finally, the frog must sound annoying at night. Even a snake would be there. It's a castle where things can rot easily due to the humidity and the living environment is never good.

I would never want to live there if I were you. But modestly, it is reasonable to rate the main tax as troublesome. This is hard to attack. Military would undoubtedly be a difficult and dependable castle. In historical fact, Hideyoshi says go back to sleep because he is preparing for Soji Shimizu and will give him a backup. So much so that I don't think you meant this for a while. We can't just leave this castle and move on.

"Dear Mr. Oyato, what can you do?

The main tax has asked.

"I don't know what to do, I don't think it's a good idea not to be able to attack..."

"Soon your allies will drop the rest of the castle and gather here. And on top of that, shouldn't we encourage you to surrender once and for all?

"Right, let's get the messenger out"

Wouldn't it work out first? But the procedure is to isolate the enemy and intimidate him in the army. However, the main tax proposal is not incorrect because the horse did well. So, Yagoro, don't look so dissatisfied. Neither Heizo nor Shimono have changed their faces. It doesn't make any difference to defeat them or surrender them. What matters is which castle to attack and show authority around. I hope I'm not mistaken there.

"But the main tax. You think this is gonna work? This castle is pretty solid. The enemy will be confident in the matter. It's not that easy to surrender."

"Well, I guess so. I hear the enemy commander Shimizu, Left Guard, swore to Kowakawa Left Guard that he would kill the castle on his pillow."

I'm relieved, main tax. Make sure you're a man who doesn't look down on his enemies.

"Father, if you don't attack, Takamatsu Castle won't fall. Or is it going to be a soldier attack?

"Well, there's something I think about it, but after we're all here,

Yagoro seems unhappy. Yoichiro, Yoshibui, and XV aren't so much. Yagoro's emotions seem easy on his face.

"Migoro."

"Yes."

"Keep your emotions down a little bit. Then everyone reads my mind easily. You're gonna get manipulated."

"Yes."

Yagoro blushed. Little by little, I have to tell you...

It wasn't until ten days later that the whole army was in place. He promptly sent Uenonosuke Numata and Gengoro Maida to the envoy to encourage them to surrender, but failed brilliantly. The condition was an increase of 50,000 stones to the main relief, but it was no good. I don't think you're an asshole. Instead, 50,000 stones increase is less likely to be rebelled, I believe it sounds good... Soji Shimizu is still willing.

"What do you think we should do?

Nobody answers. That's right, because I just reported that Maida Yukigoro, Uenosuke Numata, who became a messenger, seems extremely aggressive and spicy.

"You should still attack with a large cylinder..."

There was a voice on the other side agreeing with Hitachi Left Gate's words.

"Master Oyato, don't you mind?

"You know what I mean, half a soldier."

"That's if we've been together for a long time."

Hanbei Takenaka laughs softly, some blamed Hanbei but I stopped him. Half a soldier laughs at me, but you're angry. Still, am I pretty easy to get emotions on? If so, I can't blame Yagoro.

"Do you have any ideas?

"Yes."

When I answered Hansan's question, everyone saw me. My gaze hurts.

"To be honest, it's an uninterrupted tactic. You'd suspect that everyone would have gone crazy about me. That costs money. Hang like an idiot. You're crazy shabby. But if you succeed, you will be able to break the hearts and minds of the people of Maori."

Everyone shut up. And you're staring at me. Kid, tell me what's ahead, it's like that.

"Make Takamatsu Castle a Water Attack"

……

That's not very touching......

"submerge Castle Takamatsu."

……

I speak Japanese. Why don't we all change our faces, you can disagree a little bit or something...

Shinmo Oyamada, Longwangshan, Takamatsu Village, Heyang County, China, in early May of Tenjue II (1578)

"Water-attack..., what do you think?

Upon inquiry, two people, Asarihijiro Chang species and Shinko Left Weimen, a sweet town, gave a troubled look.

"I don't know, when I say water-attack, I don't cut off the hand of the water, when I fill the castle with water..."

"Lord Hijiro is right. I don't know, I hear Tang Tu has such examples (occasionally)..."

We both have a bad tooth cut. It would be that there would be no judgment attached as to whether it would work or not. However, it can be seen that popularization work is in progress to submerge Takamatsu Castle from this Ryukō Mountain.

"Twenty-six towns long from the froggy nose, building a levee between four heights... How much money do you need?"

"They're going to give you twenty sentences of money on a mound of earthworm..."

"I heard the earthbag needs six million mounds. Let's go over 100,000 pieces of money. That's a long story."

I got a sigh.

Everything is different from Takeda. I didn't know Takashi would make a big deal of it here in one castle... Takeda will have the best chance of sieging the castle and attacking the soldiers. Indicate this martial arts to some extent before placing a tactic or urging surrender. But decaying trees are different. They use money to move people and try to build embankments. Under the eyes, there is a large crowd of people coming with earthbags from the next to the next. Closer to a popular place than a battlefield. Is this the fight? We're questioning the attack. General Shimizu's Left Guard Gate will be more confused than we are.

"But the terrible thing is that the Decaying Tree people have accepted without any hesitation what your stall has to say."

"Anyway, I was surprised."

You're absolutely right. Everyone accepted without surprise. It seems like it would be a good idea to disagree if you think it would cost money... The richest man in heaven is not a lie. It doesn't feel like us. Besides, they're all bright on the money account. I can see you're used to money.

"Whether you have money or not, you must be comfortable with your style. Whatever it is, it made the Decaying Wood family the biggest name in the world from a single people in Omi."

The two nodded. Lord Shingen was. I went from Kofi ichi to almost controlling Shinano. We all followed Lord Shingen to the battlefield... Without that defeat......

"Do you accumulate water even if the embankment is formed?

Hijiro tilted his little neck.

"Wouldn't it be muddy without accumulating water if the water in the footsteps river were put in? Maori will be here soon. The chances of being attacked from behind when fighting Maori are considerably smaller"

"I see."

When I answered, the Township Left Gate nodded.

"I guess it depends on the weather, Lord Hijiro, the town of Left Guard, and whether the water accumulates"

The two of them looked up at the sky.

"Does it depend if it rains or not?"

"Luck."

Yeah, luck. It is in man to plot things, and in heaven to accomplish things. Do you have any luck with your stall?

"Dear Yakuza, the Maori army will be there shortly, in ten days' time."

"Well, well."

Father nodded at Kobai Kurono's report. And I got up and went outside the curtain. Everyone follows it. Takamatsu Castle, surrounded by a dyke, with a view of Takamatsu Castle. But there is no build-up of water in the embankment...

"I hope it rains in ten days."

Everyone looked up when Father looked up at the sky. Clear, no sign that it's going to rain. Will it rain in ten days?

"Sure, but you still think the land is pretty muddy? Even when it comes to fighting Maori, it's not easy to leave the castle and step up."

My father snorted at my grandfather's words. But I don't always seem convinced. You look dissatisfied.

"Right, uncle. But I'd like to sink at least those ministers' residences if I could. Then everyone will enter Takamatsu Castle. There is a problem with the food, but it must be difficult to accept it, it will be quite painful. It makes it easier to break my heart."

Everyone nodded. Well, you know what?

If you attack the water, the enemy will not be able to launch. And if you let a large number of people in the castle, the food will be gone as soon as possible. Surrender faster. I thought so. If there are many people in the castle, the resistance will only intensify for that matter. Attacks are more damaging. But if there are more people, the food will go away faster. Is it also an effective tactic to surround and buy time?

My father looked up into the sky again.

"I think it's time for a lot of rain..."

"You're on your left."

"If it rains, the water in the Foot River will also increase. The embankment should be full of water at once... Luck. Hey, don't I have any luck?

Everyone laughed at his father's indignation.

"Lieutenant General, if the lieutenant general says there's no luck, there's no such thing as a man in heaven."

Shimamoto Uchito gave his father a troubled look when he said it with a laugh.

"Well, I'm not saying I'm unlucky, but I don't think I can say I'm lucky enough... But it's not good for the Admiral to mourn that he has no luck, etc. Let's believe we have luck. Yeah, it's bound to rain!

Everyone laughed again, and Father is laughing too.

"Migoro."

"Yes."

"You won't be stuck just watching in silence here. You want to fight me?

"Yes!"

My father is smiling. Finally, the first battle. But what castle?

"Fine, I'll let you decorate the first line."

A voice came up from the other side. Everyone is breaking their faces. Hanbei, Shintaro is delighted.

"And what castle?

"It's not a castle attack, Hanbei. Yagoro takes the trail of the Decaying Woods and makes them fight quite a few battles."

Everyone shut up. My father is also turning off his grin.

"Yagoro, the work of the Lord of the Decaying Wood Family varies. But when it comes to fighting, it's up to you to decide what time, with whom, and where to fight. And we have to decide how to end the war. This cannot be left to the minister, it is the Lord's duty."

……

"My father is thinking of surrendering Maori in this attack on Takamatsu Castle. That's why I chose a costly water attack. Sink Takamatsu Castle in water in front of Maori's eyes. Shoot Maori in the heart, for that matter, 100,000 pieces or something cheap."

The blurring occurred. Everyone is looking at each other.

"If that's the one, how do we end the war against Maori? Think about it and see. If you mean to attack and destroy, that's good too. But don't forget that there will be Kyushu after the Maori attack. Attack and destroy on it, or make a pact. Think about what the terms would be if we were to make a settlement."

"... Yes"

When I answered, my father nodded. This is the first line? Crush Maori? Wake up? Think about it? What do we do? We just have to ask someone...

"No one should give advice to Yagoro. The only people Yagoro can talk to are XV, Yoichiro and Yoshibui. Think about it for four."

"Yes."

My voice plundered. XV, Yoichiro and Yoshibui also have strong faces. Do we think about it alone? I can't believe I did that...

"The day and time we give that person is two days. If you get caught, report it to my father."

……

"I let the military consider the terms of the peace agreement, but eventually my father will make the decision. That's our job. Reconcile, crush, or incorporate anything that should be seen in that person's prophecy. Encourage."

"Yes."

Can you take my point? I don't know, I don't know what to do, it's been a hell of a thing...

"It's a very unusual first line."

When Yagoro and the others left to clean up their homework, Akechi Shinobei spoke with Nico.

"Are you crazy?

"No, I thought it was a magnificent first line that looked like a stall. That's one of the reasons why we were attacked. No, the Young Hall will never forget it. We're in a good first line."

Everyone laughed when the Ten Soldiers laughed.

"Be a good experience for the Fifteen Brothers"

"Yes, thank you"

Ten soldiers bowed their heads. Government Guard, Uenonosuke also bowed his head.

"But I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of ideas you come up with."

"If I may, I hope it's a good idea to incorporate your shapes."

Reizo, everyone laughed with pleasure at Shimono Shogun's words again.

"Ma, I guess I can't. I've thought about how to end the war before. Let's be confused by now."

Oh, the fun atmosphere's gone.

"May I? No one has to help."

Hanbei gave him an anxious look.

"It's good, half a soldier. Thinking differently for each person. It's like you don't have the right answer. Think, think, think. Troubled and troubled without confidence in the answers I give. That's the Lord's job, fate. I hope Yagoro finds out about it with his own hands. It's more useful than winning the enemy's neck."

Everyone nodded.

You can leave the task of capturing your neck, defeating your enemies, etc. to the ministers. If he succeeds the Decaying Tree House, he is asked to decide in which direction to proceed the Decaying Tree House, always aware of it. Make them understand that. Wisdom can be borrowed from the ministers if it can be done. Even I borrowed wisdom from everyone. Good luck with that.
