Takane Mountain is in the encirclement of Suwahara Castle and Koyama Castle in the eastern part of Togei Kingdom, and is also separated from the Tohoku Imakawa family's rear Tokugawa family, and is also separated from the Oi River. It can be said that it is easy to advance but it is much more difficult to retreat. According to the art of war, Takane Mountain is a "dead place". △↗

"There was a saying in Ming Mandarin that he had a burning boat. Could it be that Hojo Tsunaki and Imakawa had such plans?" Yamamoto Kansuke couldn't help but say.

And the fact is indeed as Yamamoto Kansuke guessed that Hojo Tsunazuki's move did make him want to die and live.

Of course, choosing Takanoyama to set up camp also has another purpose for Hojo Tsuna. The location of Takanoyama happens to be separated from the intersecting place of Oikawa, Suwahara Castle, and Koyama Castle. That is to say, the Surugawa Imakawa family and the Hojo family have since escaped the danger of being divided and surrounded by the Toho Imakawa army (fighting between the Toho Imakawa is extremely dangerous). In addition, the height of Takanoyama is enough to see the various areas below. On the one hand, the logistics team transporting materials from the other side of Oikawa can be timely protected. On the other hand, the Toho Imakawa army's every move will be discovered by them at any time.

Moreover, if both sides remain unmoved, as time goes by, conflicts will inevitably arise within the Imakawa family, which has just been integrated, which is even more beneficial to the coalition forces.

Therefore, although it is a bit dangerous to set up camp in Takagenyama, from another perspective, it seems that it was besieged by the Toei Imagawa family, but the coalition forces can monitor any movements of the Toei Imagawa family, grasp the battlefield situation in their hands, and can confront the other side with the help of the terrain. Naturally, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the coalition forces.

Sure enough, when Roche Nobura and Yamamoto Kansuke were discussing decisions in Suwahara Castle, they had no choice but to face the Suruga Imagawa family and Hojo family coalition forces that had reached Takanoyama.

If they were to ignore them, they would go directly to attack the coalition logistics team in the Suruga country on the east coast of Oikawa. If they were not sure, the coalition would directly kill from the mountain and attack Suwahara Castle;

If you are the main attack on Takane Mountain, this is the commanding heights. The Suruga Imakawa family and the Hojo coalition have at least seven or eight thousand troops, and there is water source on it. It is incomparable to the Ming Dynasty documents that Ma Su from the Three Kingdoms went up the mountain and waited for death. If you attack for a strong force, you may not be able to take advantage of the slightest advantage, and you will be threatened by the defense line within the Suruga country on the east coast of Oikawa.

Faced with such a situation, Nobura Roche and Kanasuke Yamamoto could only temporarily stop the troops, so the two armies also confronted each other.

As time went by day, the calm performance of the Suruga Imagawa family and the Kitaga family coalition forces made the Touge Imagawa family army a little unable to sit still. Ten days later, on November 18, the fourth year of Euge (1561), the Touge Imagawa family convened a military meeting in Suwahara Castle, deciding whether to fight the Suruga Imagawa family and the Kitaga family coalition forces.

More than 30 retainers participated in the military meeting. These people included the guise of the Toro Imagawa family, but secretly belonged to the Luo family, and were directly affiliated to the Toro Imagawa family. In addition, there were also the Sanhe Kingdom, who surrendered to the Toro Imagawa family, and the governors and important officials of the two places of the Toro Imagawa family.

The meeting location was chosen at the residence of Suwahara Castle Yotakahashi Shaoyun, a standard Japanese-style courtyard surrounded by cherry blossom trees.

General Luo Shixinliang was dressed in armor, wearing golden little za, and was dressed in a very formal military general. He sat on the stacked mat (i.e. tatami) in the middle of the room. Two young servants stood behind him, one holding his sword in his hand and the other holding his head pocket in his hand.

On the right side of Luo's Nobura are military officials such as the military advisors Kazusuke Yamamoto, Kenaki Hiromatsu, Nobukashi Shimatsu, and Shimatsu Kokoshi (Suwahara Castle Yotakahashi Shaoyun was not present because he went to Kanto), while on the left side are Naoto Ii, Naoki Ii, etc., Naoki Ii, and Naoki, who are among the local wealthy families in Sanhe.

The sliding doors and partitions around the room have been removed, leaving only four pillars. This quite open design is to facilitate the generals in the courtyard to hear all the procedures for indoor military discussions.

After the retainers sat down, the first person to speak was Kenke Ken, who had always been irritable. He said, "Your Highness, our army is superior to the coalition forces of the Suruga Imakawa family and the Kitaki family in terms of military strength and military deployment. If we are afraid of the tricks of Hojo Tsunazumi Hojo and do not take the main attack, we will be ridiculed by the retainers, so we should immediately take the initiative to attack the coalition forces of the Suruga Imakawa family and the Kitaki family."

Hakuma Ken Ken just finished speaking, another important official next to him and an old acquaintance of Hakuma Ken Ken Ken, Cheng Song Nobuka also echoed: "The long-term confrontation will affect the morale of the soldiers, and the other party's supply line and reinforcements will continue to reach the other party's camp, fight quickly and boost the morale of the army."

The views of the two Hundred Martial Arts and Shinsung Shin-Song and Shin-Sheng Song were consistently represented the opinions of everyone. So after the two spoke, the rest of the people immediately expressed their agreement. Of course, the reasons why these people agreed were different.

Taking most local wealthy families in Sanhe and Tohoe as an example, the reason why they hope to fight as soon as possible is naturally to return to the territory as soon as possible after the final battle. After all, just a few days ago, the Amano family and the Guan Suga family who had been hiding in the forest also responded to the call of the Suruga Imakawa clan, jumped out of the forest and headed towards the Sanhe and Tohoe plains.

Although the king of the country, Imakawa Jungrei, had personally led a large army to conquer, it was inevitable that the two armies entered their territory during this period to make trouble. You must know that they happened to lead the main force in the territory here at this time, and the territory was empty, which also led everyone to hope to fight as soon as possible.

After the retainers finished discussing, Nobura Roche also made a final decision solemnly: "The purpose of this battle is to make the Suruga Imagawa family dare not peek at my Imagawa Country anymore. In other words, we must wipe out the coalition forces of the Suruga Imagawa family and the Hojo family here, so I ordered a decisive battle with the Suruga Imagawa family and the Hojo family tomorrow."

"Oh." Hearing that the generals of the general, Mr. Nobura, finally decided to fight to the decisive battle, the generals were immediately happy.

"But, since you have decided to fight the other side, you also need to have a decisive battle method. What are your good strategies for this?" Luo Shixinliang asked immediately.

After being asked by Luo Shixinliang, everyone immediately became completely quiet. Many people had thought that tomorrow's decisive battle was planned to adopt a strong attack. Now it seems that this young general does not intend to do so.
