At this time, the person who came to secretly visit Usuki Kansuka and Ryuzoji Takanobu came as the messenger of the Three Good Family, the Mori retainer Kanemoto Sumi.

The last time he was in Osumi Country of Mian Kyushu, he tried to persuade the Ganfu family to unite against the Luo family, but failed and was chased by the Luo family intelligence staff. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and asked the Ganfu family to send someone to escort him to the port, allowing him to leave by boat.

However, he was really unlucky. The ship he was on was actually robbed by a group of pirates in the Osui Strait. When he was robbed by those pirates, he happened to hear that several of the pirates were actually talking in Ming Mandarin. It turned out that these pirates under Wang Zhi came out to pretend to be ordinary local pirates to fight Qiu Feng while the pirates were invaded by the Luo family and were in chaos.

It happened that Kei Mori-sum Sumiya knew a little bit of Chinese, so he instantly knew the identities of these people. He was immediately happy because when he went to the Shimazu family in Satsuma, he had hoped to meet Wang Zhi in person with the help of the Shimazu family. As a result, Wang Zhi was missing because he sent his subordinates to participate in the conflict between the Shimazu family and the Luo family (he did not want to be found by the envoy of the Luo family), so Kei Mori-sum had to give up.

Now that he found another opportunity to meet Wang Zhi, Gui Yuancheng was naturally very happy, so he immediately spent a lot of talk and finally even directly stated that there would be a lot of gold to trade with the leaders of these pirates, which made the Ming pirates who robbed him escort him to meet Wang Zhi.

In fact, at that time, Mori Mori made every effort to annex the territory of the Daouite family and even planned the Battle of Itsujima. One of the purposes was to control the Seto Inland Sea near Itsujima and then gain opportunities for foreign trade. The targets of his trade naturally included Ming merchants such as Wang Zhi. Even Mori Mori hoped to deepen the relationship between the two sides by trade with Wang Zhi, and ultimately use his power to help the Maori family.

Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of the Luo family in picking the Maori family's peaches, which made the Maori Mori plan end in failure. However, Maori Mori did not give up. Instead, he contacted the Miyoga family. He attempted to trade with the Kii waterway, Sakaimachi and other routes under the control of the Miyoga family. Although the journey of trade on this route is not only far away, but also more dangerous (it is easy to be robbed by pirates), as long as the Miyoga family is helped, it is still feasible.

As for how to help the Miyo family, one is because both families have a common enemy, that is, the Luo family. And as long as the Mori family is led by the Mori family, they help the Miyo family get enough benefits from the Ming merchants and other Ming merchants, the Miyo family will naturally take action. What's more, the Hosokawa family, the predecessor of the Miyo family, originally maintained trade with the Ming merchants and even the Ming court. As a result, as the Hosokawa family was annexed by the Miyo family, these trades were all over. Now with the help of the Maori family, the Miyo family will naturally be willing to accept these trades again.

This time, when Gui Yuancheng drew a big pie for the pirates who robbed him (informed them that there was a large amount of gold transactions), he was actually received by Wang Zhi and successfully established a trade relationship with Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi's side mainly needed gold, silver and local supplies in the Warring States Period, while Maori's side mainly needed iron cannons, gunpowder and other supplies.

Of course, when the trade relations with the Maori family were re-established with the Luo family, Wang Zhi did not explain to the Luo family. The reason for this was, on the one hand, this involved huge interests after all, and Wang Zhi was naturally unwilling to give up. Moreover, in the trade agreement with the Luo family, he only required that Wang Zhi's forces not directly participate in the conflict between the local hostile forces of the Luo family in the Warring States Period (of course, the Luo family could not participate in the conflict between the hostile forces of the Wang Zhi at sea), and did not require that Wang Zhi not trade with other local forces (just like the Luo family traded with some local Ming smugglers on the coast of the Ming Dynasty at this time), so he was naturally able to trade with the Maori family.

On the other hand, although the agreement did not explicitly prohibit him from trading with the Maori family and other forces with the Luo family, once the Luo family was found out, it would naturally cause dissatisfaction among the Luo family. Since this is the case, Wang Zhi simply treated the matter with the mentality of hiding as long as it can be concealed. Even if it was found out by the Luo family in the end, as long as both parties did not speak up and remained silent, Wang Zhi was very happy.

After Kei Mori and Wang Zhi established a trade relationship between the Maori family and the other party, he also escorted the Miyo family territory of Shikoku under the ship arranged by Wang Zhi, and met with the Maori family envoy of the Miyo family, Tsukira Konori, who was permanently stationed in the Miyo family. After learning about the progress they made, Kei Mori sent someone to return to An Yiguo to report his situation to Maori Yuan. On the one hand, he used the relationship between Gunoha and Tosa. Even after learning that the Miyo family was interested in Iyu and Tosa, he persuaded the Miyo family to send him and another Sanyo family retainer to secretly go to the Iyu and Tosa areas in the west of Shikoku.

Some time ago, he played a huge role in the secret communication between the Miyo family and the Kono family. When he entered the Tosako area, he was using the local power of the Maori family and the Miyo family to investigate the domestic situation in Tosa, he accidentally discovered that Ryuzoji Takanobu and the Nagatozometa family seemed to have a disagreement, so he thought he had found a breakthrough in the Tosa area, so he came to him today.

Kei Yuancheng has not yet fully figured out the relationship between Ryuzoji Takanobu and Usuki's speed test and their background. I can only say that this time Kei Yuancheng happened to have the best opportunity.

Just when Keimoto Sumi met Usuki and Takanobu Ryuzoji, Imakawa Yoshimoto was having an interview with Matsuhei Motoyashi (which is Tokugawa Ieyashi) in the distant Tokaido Junfu Kingdom.

It was late March of the third year of Yonglu (1560). Although it was still spring, the weather was a little wet and hot, and Imakawa Yoshimoto hated sweat the most. So he asked the boy to fan the same time and listened to Matsuhei Motoyashi's speech with a bright look.

At this time, Matsuhira Motoya had already given birth to Takechiyo, who could inherit the foundation of the Matsuhira family. Imakawa Yoshimoto had already decided to let Matsuhira Motoyamoto participate in this battle when he went to Luo. This was indeed the first battle in his life. The location of the first battle was finally decided to be held outside the Sankawakōji Castle.

Imakawa Yoshimoto was quite satisfied with his arrangement. He wanted to see how capable Matsuhei Motoyaki was as a pioneer general. In other words, this expedition was a preview before the decisive battle in Beijing.

"In your opinion, who can take the position of food and grass?" Imakawa Yoshimoto asked calmly after hearing Matsuhira Motoyasu's arrangement for the arrangement.

"Oda Nobunaga had already launched a resistance offensive at this time. Even though I had been prepared for a long time, the Otaka Castle on the front line of my family was likely to be surrounded by it after the war began. Therefore, the city will inevitably need food, grass and reinforcements at that time. But the support of food and grass seems to be more important. As long as there is food, Yasuhira will not fall easily." Matsuhei Motoyashi seemed to have figured out Imakawa Yoshimoto's thoughts, "So, I decided to appoint Masarasuke Sakai as the food and grass."

"Indeed, Yale helped the elderly and was cautious, and you can rest assured that you could be appointed as food and grass. So, what about the war horses?"

"Torii Hiroemon Mototaki, Ishikawa and Shiroshiro, and Hirai Shinosuke's relatives."

"All are very young, a bit unreliable..."

Imakawa Yoshimoto felt that Matsuhei Motoyashi had a scheming that was not commensurate with his age, and seemed to be trying to avoid sending his old ministers to the forefront.

"Okubo Shinhachiro Tadatsutsu and Torii Iga Mori Tadayoshi are here. What arrangements are made by these retainers?"

"They will lead the mobile force."

"Oh. So who will command the main force?"

"In the lower part, the forward and right wing are commanded by Hiroro Ishikawa's son Yasui Yasui, and the rear wing and left wing are commanded by Sakai Saemon Tadaji."

"How old is Ishikawa's family?"

"Twenty-six years old."

"What is Uemura Shinroro responsible for?"

"Follow Matsuhira Motoyaku."

"Are you a military advisor?" Imakawa Yoshimoto thought for a moment and said again. "You can call Sakai Masahiro. He can act as a deterrent among his retainers." Speaking of this, Imakawa Yoshimoto calculated: "Okubo family, Honta Hirotaka, Kamihara clan, Ishikawa Kiyoka... and, you must use Torii. Your arrangement is generally consistent with my idea. Get ready to set off now!"

Matsuhira Motoyao sat quietly, lowering his head. Imakawa Yoshimoto undoubtedly wanted the Okazaki people to deal with the Oda army. If the Okazaki people did not have the strength to act as a pioneer, they could only fight to the death. Will they be defeated or return to victory? Matsuhira Motoyao's heart is no longer shaking, and he can resolutely face the challenges of fate.

He slowly walked out of the door, and Kamihara Yasumasa, who had already been waiting here, rushed forward and bowed to greet him.

"What's wrong?" He always liked this Kamihara Yasumasaki and trusted him very much. In history, Kamihara Yasumasaki was summoned by Matsuhei Motoyaki after Matsuhei Motoyaki reindependence in Okazaki Castle. In this life, due to the appearance of Matsuhei's little butterfly, the historical trajectory has changed.

"My mother wrote letters from her homeland."

"What did you say?"

"She said I was thirteen years old and was old enough, so she asked my lord to allow me to go on war and let me lead the horse for my lord."

Matsuhira Motoyashi walked straight out without answering. Yesterday was still a clear sky without clouds, but today it was covered with clouds, and black clouds enveloped the top of Mount Fuji.

Matsuhei Motoya walked silently, Kamihara Yasumasa followed closely and said, "Lord, I believe you understand it too. If you don't let me go, I have no face to see my mother."

“…”

"The lord may say that I am still young. My mother wrote a letter to ask me to escape from Jun Mansion quietly at that time. Even if the lord refuses, I will follow him."

Matsuhira Motoyasu still didn't answer. Kamihara Yasumasa's mother was stubborn and was very likely to say such words. But this time she went to war, and the retainers who were named by Imakawa Yoshimoto for the time being, Matsuhira Motoyasu wanted them to stay - after all, Matsuhira Motoyasu also gave birth to Takechiyo and Agui, and knew the mood of being a parent.

Not only that, the wife of the pioneer general Tadaichi Sakai is Matsuhei Motoyashi's aunt, born to her grandfather Kiyokashi and her grandmother Huayangyuan. She is now staying in Junfucheng as a hostage. No matter from any aspect, this battle can be said to be a life-and-death duel. Behind Matsuhei Motoyashi are Yoshiri and hostages.

After leaving the gate, he saw the green leaves swaying beside the trench. Kamihara Yasumasa said again: "My mother also wrote in her letter. The lord may have a sense of death for this battle. She told me, if the lord refuses and asks me to join the war next time, let me tell you that there is no next time for the samurai. Lord, take me with me, I will not be a burden to you."

Matsuhira Motoyashi could no longer bear it and scolded: "Talk too much!"

"Why am I talking too much?" Kamihara Yasumasa replied, "A general who doesn't like his retainers' frank words. He is not a good general."

"What! What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing. The lord doesn't understand Kamihara Yasumasa's thoughts!"

"Damn it! Are you teaching me a lesson?"

"If you don't want to be taught a lesson... then promise to bring me. Kamihara Yasumasa understands the lord's mind."

"What do you understand?"

"The lord will not return to Jun Mansion."

"What?" Matsuhei Motoyasu looked back at Kamihara Yasumasa in surprise. Kamihara Yasumasa's eyes showed that he was telling the truth, and Matsuhei Motoyasu had to be alert. Matsuhei Motoyasu covered up his embarrassment and sighed, "You lead the horse for me, can you keep up with everyone?"

"If you can't keep up, you'll rob the enemy's horse riding."

"Kanhara Yasumasa, you grow up next to your stubborn mother and you will inevitably have a rough personality. But I, Matsuhei Motoyashi, have strict military disciplines, so you must abide by them."

Kamihara Yasumasaki knew he had been allowed to go to war, so he shook his head mischievously. He said, "War is flexible and needs to be moved according to the situation. Military discipline is like a kappa fart. There are many ways to adapt. If the lord encounters danger, Kamihara Yasumasaki will die for you." He seemed to be preparing to sacrifice his life for the lord, with a firm expression.

"War is bound to be accompanied by death, you must think clearly."

"I don't need to think about it." Kamihara Yasumasa shook his head indifferently, "My mother said that in her belly, I should consider life and death clearly. Therefore, there is only a difference between victory and defeat in war."

Matsuhira Motoyasu looked at Kamihara Yasumasa in surprise, speechless. He had already considered life and death clearly in his mother's womb. Madam Kamihara actually made her son think that way. War only has the difference between victory and defeat, how reasonable! Since war is inevitable, then the side that seriously explores the path to victory will win, while the side that is almost inquiry will lose.

"You promised to take me there, lord?" Kamihara Yasumasa confirmed solemnly.

Matsuhira Motoyasu replied, "I agreed." After that, he began to think about the tactics again.

In this battle, Nobunaga Oda probably would not have made an appearance. If the former wizard of Yoshiki appears, before this battle is fought, Matsuhira Motoyashi's heart will be shrouded in nostalgia. He must completely forget the past friendship and turn it into a sharp weapon.

The vanguard is located four or five miles in front of the team carrying food and grass, and the defender is also four or five miles behind. The left and right wings are half a mile apart and are protected by bows and arrows and iron cannons. The mobile troops composed of old ministers should be arranged in a position where they can wait for an opportunity to move...

In fact, the iron cannon that caused the most headache for Matsuhira Motoyao was the iron cannon. In the Tokaido area, Oda Nobunaga was the most possessed. According to Okazaki's intelligence, Oda Nobunaga allowed the merchants of the vassal state to freely go to the Kuno, Kiyosu and Inoda areas to do business, and used the collected land money to create a large number of iron cannons. He also asked a master of shooting, Hashimoto, to teach an excellent foot samurai. It is a different matter in the melee, but if you use this new weapon to intimidate the opponent, the opponent's troops will be in a mess.

"How many iron cannons did the old man Torii prepare?" Matsuhira Motoyashi was a little worried.

When we entered the residence of the Major General's Palace, it started to rain. Because it was not long since the expedition date, the retainers in the Junfu Palace were indescribable, and the contact personnel of the Okazaki military general also came in groups of three or three, constantly entering and leaving the narrow residence. Even Seminehime's mother's home and the residence of the Questuku Predator were in a mess. It was not long before Imakawa Yoshimoto Kyoro, and everyone was nervously preparing.

"The lord is back home." Torii Mototaki was wearing light armor and shouting loudly. A path suddenly dodged in front of the crowded gate.

"Lord." Sakai Masara Sakai helped to ritual.

"Yes." Matsuhei Motoyashi nodded and looked at the women kneeling on the steps. One was his aunt living in the Jun Mansion. The other was not the same as Kamihara Yasunomi Masatomi, Masahiro Kamihara?

"Madam, Kamihara Yasumasa said you are writing a letter, why do you still have to come here in person?"

Mrs. Kamihara raised her firm face and looked at Matsuhira Monastery. In her eyes, Matsuhira Monastery is both her lord and her soul, and a beacon in her heart.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. It's such an important thing to go to the war. How can I not come? The letter was brought by someone. I rushed over afterwards." In Matsuhei Motoyaku's eyes, her vibrant face was extremely beautiful and healthy.

"Is that so? You are no longer a woman. If you don't stay in the inner room, you can even hang out among men..." Matsuhei Motokaku stood up while smiling. The woman quickly followed Matsuhei Motokaku and entered the bedroom.

"Kanhara Yasumasa, what Kazumasaki is doing, are all ready?"

Kamihara Yasumasa smiled slightly, took the sword from Matsuhira Motoyaku and placed it on the knife holder.

"What's wrong with you here?" After Matsuhei Motoyasu sat down slowly, Mrs. Kamihara smiled happily: "Yes. I want to hold a ritual for Kamihara before Kamihara's war. Please send everyone away." Her face suddenly became serious, as if there was something secret.

Matsuhira Motoyasu nodded, "You can avoid it for now." He waved his hand and retreated everyone.

"How angry are the people in the Matsuhide family?"

"Everyone is full of fighting spirit. Moreover, I have mobilized the Yamanaka Okubo family."

"So, what are you going to say?"

"First of all, Iga Torii..."

"Oh. Old Torii?"

"He said that the matter of Iron Cannon has been foolproof, please rest assured."

"Oh. Thank you so much."

"Then, Ozawa..." she said, looking around. "The Maeda Taki family killed Oda Nobunaga's servant Aichito Ami, because of their venting anger, and wandered to Mikawa."

"Maeda Chiyo?"
