A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

After three days like this, the Kwantung Allied Forces tried several places, but could not find a breakthrough. Long-tailed Kagetora was also helpless. Moreover, this was the time of drought. Although a large amount of property was obtained through large-scale indiscriminate hunting, the food was about That’s just over half a month’s worth of reserves.

Nagao Kagetora felt a headache. Although he had already had a premonition that the Kanto generals would not work too hard, and his eight thousand headquarters were not willing to waste it on meaningless experiments. How could it be possible to break the city in fifteen days like this? If it wasn't complete, it might suffer backlash.

So in the end, Nagao Kagetora was helpless. One person was short-term, and two people were long-term. They called together the close, credible and useful forces and held a closed-door meeting. Nagao Kagetora was surrounded by Hojo Takahiro and Ashina Mori (historically, this one was the one who defended Echigo), as well as Naoe Keizuna and Yamamotoji Sadenaga. (The one left behind is actually Nagao Masaki, I can’t understand, I really can’t understand).

The others were the two important ministers in charge, Nagano Yamasa and Nagao Tokage, Ota Shimasa and his son from the Uesugi family in Ogidani, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, Yamauchi chief accountant, and Koheita. Satoshi Yiyao is also present. Sure enough, he is not afraid of how greedy you are. As long as your interests are strong enough to drive him, he will be very useful. Compared with so many trash fish in the camp, I don’t know where they are, and those people have no use value.

Nagao Kagetora and the leader sat at the head of the table, so this small-scale military discussion was much more extensive. Everyone here knows the reality of the Kwantung Allied Forces, and mainly in the face of Odawara Castle, everyone is at a loss. Even though Yoshiyao Satomi was willing to sacrifice some lives in exchange for the meritorious territory, he only said that he was willing to send people to try again.

Xiaoping Tai had already known that these situations would happen. After all, after traveling back in time, the first time he entered and exited the Battle of Kanto was to put it bluntly, he ended up unhappy and returned without success.

We had already calculated it with Yamauchi Yoshikatsu last night, and with the addition of Yamauchi's chief planner, the three bastard generals can be considered half Zhuge Liang. So it was time for Yamauchi Yoshikatsu to shine, and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu took the initiative to express his thoughts.

Nagao Kagetora knew Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, and the two had a good conversation in Kyoto. He was very happy to see Yamauchi Yoshikatsu speak. Immediately say that Zuomasuke can speak freely and brainstorm ideas.

Anyway, it was mainly based on Koheita's suggestions and arrangements last night, and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu talked about them. First of all, here is a general guide to using troops: attacking the heart is the top priority, attacking the city is the bottom priority, fighting with the heart is the top priority, and fighting with soldiers is the bottom priority.

There is also the method of using troops: if it is ten, it is to surround it, if it is five, it is to attack it, and if it is doubled, it is to divide it.

What's more, those who are good at using soldiers will no longer be in the service and will not have enough food for three years. The people present were stunned for a while, and they all immediately raised Yamauchi Yoshikatsu to the level of Zhao Kuo. I have never seen whether he can fight. This theoretical knowledge is at least very strong.

Only Xiao Pingtai smiled secretly in the back. You didn't see it last night when I taught him to recite. (Although it was written by Xiaoping Taimo, it was still pretended to be a copy bought from the house of a poor minister in Kyoto for five yuan)

Anyway, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has good acting skills. He stood up, drew with his hands, and pointed out the situation in Kanto.

The first is the issue of grain and grass. Koheita believed that there would be chaos in Kanto more than a month ago. Spring farming would be destroyed after the fighting. Coupled with the population exodus, grain prices would inevitably rise sharply. He could purchase miscellaneous grains and store them in Ejiri until the war was over. On the grounds that the profit would be at least two or three times higher, Yamauchi Yoshiharu persuaded Yamauchi to spend 5,000 koku on a large scale to purchase surplus grain from the Kaido area. Now, in more than a month, 7,000 koku of white rice and more than 30,000 koku of miscellaneous grains have been stored in Ejiri. It all relied on the coercion of force and the cooperation and friendship of Candle to successfully ask Ejiri's big merchants to purchase the surplus grain of the entire seaway, which could at least support the army for more than a month.

Nagao Kagetora must have been willing to exchange these grains for 10,000 koku (you have to make some money, right). As soon as Nagao Kagetora heard that 40,000 koku of grain could be shipped over from Ejiri, he was extremely generous. Bought for 10,000 guan, after all, it was stolen money, so I don’t feel bad, but the food is even better.

Ota Shimasa, who had been on the front line against Hojo for a long time, spoke up. Even if there were ships and food, the Hojo naval forces in Sagami Bay and Izuchi would not let him come.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu smiled and said that this requires enough benefits to impress the Imagawa family. If after victory, they are willing to cede the territory of Izu Niray Mountain and the Ten Thousand Guns in the mountains to the Imagawa family, then the Suruga navy can completely suppress the Izu clan. Navy troops and even destroy them.

Although Yamauchi Yoshikatsu himself did not know the reality of the Suruga navy, Kodaita knew that in history, the Hojo clan's Izu navy had been severely defeated by part of the Suruga navy under the command of Takeda Katsuyori. The roots of the entire Izu navy were was interrupted. Now Koheita deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Suruga Navy and told Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu also felt that more people are better than fewer people, and big ships are better than small boats, so he felt that there would be no problem in solving the Izu Navy. (Qi Shuai said that water warfare is nothing more than a big ship defeating a small ship, and a big blunderbuss defeating a small blunderbuss. This should be a common view)

As for the distant mountains of Sagami Bay, Tominaga and other naval forces can be handed over to the Okamoto generals of the Boso navy. The Boso navy has suppressed the Sagami navy for many years, and has beaten all the villages along the Sagami coast. Protection fees. The most exaggerated moment was when the Satomi family's ship mark protection fee was received all the time from the village under Odawara Castle, and the Hojo family was still unable to make irresponsible remarks. We can only let these villages act as a two-faced government. They love Hojo in their hearts, but on the surface they have to pay for Satomi.

With the strength of Bosou's navy and the ability of the navy to come and go freely across the sea, he would have no problem attacking the Hojo clan's territory from all directions. Later, the Satomi family even occupied a very small territory in Izu. It was unbelievable that there were enemy forces in the heart of Hojo.

Listening to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's compliments, I saw that Yoshiyao had a smug look on his face, and he proudly said that Zuomasuke was too complimentary, and that Mr. Fang was just like a sailor. As long as Nagao Kagetora gives orders, he can immediately recruit Bosou's navy. I can't say anything else, but it's easy to hit the Sagami navy in the face without any problems.

So Nagao Kagetora immediately ordered his important minister Naoe Keetsuna to go to Sunfu in person with some gold and silver gifts, and make friends with Okabe Okabe, Taiyuan Chongfu Xuezhai Zen Master, Sena Ujitoshi, Sekiguchi Ujihiro and other important ministers and ministers of the Imagawa clan. Imagawa Yoshimoto's biological mother Shouguini. At the same time, the two counties of Izu were used to reward the Imagawa clan in exchange for the Suruga navy to suppress Izuchi. Let the discussion up and down the Imagawa clan turn into the complete elimination of the Hojo clan.

He also ordered Satomi Yoshiyao to summon Boso's navy to blockade Sagami Bay, which would completely cut off Odawara's internal and external traffic. Of course, Satomi Yiyao would not let him call people in vain. He would first pay the departure fee of one thousand guanwen. After Boso's naval forces completely pushed the Sagami navy into Odawara Port and the navigation route became clear, they would then agree to grant a portion of Izu's territory.

Nagao Kagetora then motioned to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu to continue.
