Chapter 535 Outstanding Contribution Award
"I can borrow from the idle players inward, and there is no need to attack with them for the time being." Tomohisa Oishi said at this time.
"It's not appropriate. Even if the other party agreed to our family's accession, no one could tell whether the idle family was doing what they really did. Once the other party secretly colluded with the Himehou coalition in private and attacked the Himehou coalition, in the absence of ships to support us, our family would be besieged on the west bank of Kikuchikawa and fell into a confrontation with the Himehou coalition. Without enough ships to ensure that the materials on the east bank are transported across the shore, the longer the time will be, the more unfavorable it will be for us." Isono Tomosa opposed. Obviously, he did not support the way to access Yamamoto County.
"Then let's just build the village of the idle home in the city first." Yuanchengji Nobuo said simply.
"Let's wait for the lord to decide." Isono Tomosa Masao said.
"Yes." Zhengliang nodded. Judging from the current situation, the generals obviously advocated taking advantage of the victory and then expanding the results of the battle, and even defeating Hezhi County in one fell swoop.
"Two military advisors, what are your opinions?" After hearing the general's views, he naturally had to listen to the two military advisors. So Masara looked at Nobunosuke Akaba and Kanasuke Yamamoto, who had not made any noise before.
"Lord, my subordinates think that our family should completely control Kikuchi County first." Akaba Nobunosuke said first.
"Lord, I will discuss it!" Yamamoto Kanasuke, who was standing beside him, agreed.
"Oh? Can the two military advisors tell us in detail the reason?" Zhengliang said immediately after hearing this.
"Lord, although our family has driven the Hokage coalition from Kikuchi County to Hoshi County on the other side of the river, don't forget that the Kikuchi County family still has many enemies at present." Yamamoto Kansuke said with a bow.
"The biggest enemy in front of me is the Kikuchi family's Jufu Castle and the Ape Rebirth City of Jufu Castle." Yamamoto Kazusuke continued. "From the situation in the previous period, the Kikuchi family has betrayed the family. In order to let the other subordinates in the jurisdiction know the consequences of betraying the family, the Kikuchi family must punish them. In addition, according to the intelligence of the detective family, after the defeat of the Himehou coalition, the Kyubu family did not lead the defeated soldiers to follow the main force of the Himehou coalition to cross the river, but instead returned to the Ape Rebirth City. It seems that they are preparing to fight the cage with me. These are the two biggest hidden dangers in Kikuchi County."
"In addition, lord, although the general trend of our family occupying Kikuchi County is unstoppable, there are still many small wealthy tribes and small landlords in Kikuchi County. So far, they have not expressed their intention to surrender to our family. These small wealthy tribes and small landlords must be dealt with." At this time, Akaba Nobunosuke also interjected, "Also, there are several local indigenous tribes in the eastern mountainous area of Kikuchi County. If they are incited by those who are interested, it will also be a problem that drags down our family's march."
"Besides, although I have won consecutive victories this month, my military power inevitably has some injuries. My subordinates think that while doing their best to eliminate hidden dangers in Kikuchi County, they also look for opportunities to let my military power take a break to maintain combat effectiveness." Akaba Nobunosuke continued.
"Because our army's march was too rapid, it was necessary to pass through a relatively rugged and difficult mountain road from the way to the Kamikashi County to Kikuchi County, which also brought difficulties to the logistics supply of our family. Although our family also added a lot of supplies to the wealthy territories captured by Yamakashi County and Kikuchi County, this was not a long-term solution after all. In addition, the main forces of the Interior Affairs Office were concentrated on receiving the newly occupied territories, so we could not provide more support for our family's logistics. Therefore, the subordinates thought that our family's energy should be focused first on completely controlling the territory of Kikuchishi County." Yamamoto Kazusuke analyzed again.
"My lord, it is the end of March and the rainy season in April will soon enter. My servants have heard that there will be a typhoon in the rainy season this year. At this time, my territory has been fully prepared. However, once the rainy season in April enters the typhoon season again, the power of my firearms may not be exerted. Instead of continuing to advance in a gambling manner, it is better to take down Kikuchi County completely before the rainy season comes." Akaba Nobusuke said finally.
"Well! This statement makes sense." Zhengliang finally made the decision. In fact, this is also Zhengliang's idea in his heart. Of course, he does not want everything to become his one-man show, and even if he analyzes it, the retainers may not be convinced. However, if the other retainers say it, then he pretends to wake up and finally support it with all his strength, this will gain the support of the retainers and the internal resistance to stopping and continuing to advance will be much lower.
"Since you have been determined to take down Kikuchi County completely first, then do you think our family should start marching from where?" Masayoro immediately introduced the topic to his strategy for Kikuchi County.
"The most threat to our family is the return of the monkey in the eastern part of Kikuchi County, and the Kikuchi Family's monkey in the southeast of Kikuchi County, which controls the passage of Asu County into Kikuchi County. The ministers think that these two cities should be taken down first." Nobunosuke Akaba suggested.
"From the current information, due to the continuous attacks from our family, most of the soldiers of the Citori family have been separated. Therefore, the guards of the Citori family's Ape Return City are the weakest. As for the Kikuchi family's Citori family, since they secretly sent troops to attack the Guanpo Ninja villages in the nearby mountainous areas, there has been no abnormal movement. At this time, they are acting as if they are strictly guarding their lives." Yamamoto Kansuke said.
When talking about the Kikuchi family, Masayoro couldn't help but feel ridiculous about Kikuchi Yoshio's original idea of trying to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. He probably never expected that the confrontation between the Feihou coalition and the Luo family army in Kikuchi County would be decided so quickly? At this time, it was estimated that after learning that the Luo family's combat power had not suffered too much, Kikuchi Yoshio had already hid in Jufu City and shivered.
Having said that, Masayoshi actually had to thank Kikuchi Yoshiwu for his past help to the Luo family. It was with his help that the Luo family easily captured Arima Qingchun and thus mastered the initiative in the Nanfeihou war. With his secret help, the Luo family could penetrate the power into Feihou so easily. Finally, it was because of him that civil strife in the central and northern parts of Feihou, which greatly weakened the strength of the rich families and local indigenous peoples of Feihou, which prevented the Luo family from marching towards Feihou. Perhaps Zhengliang should have awarded him an outstanding contribution award.
