When the words "sumamata" and "fortress" appear at the same time, it is difficult for a time traveler not to think of the famous allusion of "sumamata overnight castle" in historical legends. In the allusion, Oda Nobunaga, in order to conquer Nishi Mino, Attempts were made to build a fort at the strategic location of Sumamata. However, many fortification operations failed due to the timely arrival of the Saito family's troops.
At this embarrassing moment, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was just a small figure at the time, stood up. He personally contacted the leader of the Kawami clan, Hazosuga Koroku, who had an old relationship with him, and went to the Kawami clan's territory located in the upper reaches of Sumamata. He prepared a large amount of wood needed to build the rock fortress. Then, he took advantage of the moonlight to tie the wood into a raft and threw it into the Kiso River. He drifted down the Kiso River to Sumamata, and then used the wood to build a city in Sumamata. The construction of a simple castle was completed overnight, which shocked the Saito family.
So, Yu Qiuping turned his attention to Kinoshita Hideyoshi who was sitting in the lower hand position - as expected, his face was flushed, his two monkey eyes were shining brightly, and he was eager to try.
However, to Yu Qiuping's surprise, after he looked around the scene for a week, every samurai except Kinoshita Hideyoshi was very excited and seemed eager to take on this almost impossible task.
"Your Highness Niwa." The puzzled Yu Qiupei asked Niwa Nagahide who was sitting next to him: "Why do everyone seem so positive? This order that the Lord suddenly thought of is quite difficult to complete. I can't do it. If you do well, your troops will be defeated in Meinong."
"Momiji doesn't know something," Niwa Nagahide turned around and patiently explained to Yu Qiuping: "According to our practice, this kind of operation of building a city in the enemy's territory, if the city is successfully built, generally the city and the surrounding territory will Knowledge and action will be given to those who complete the construction of the city. The water transportation in Sumama is convenient and the soil is fertile, so it is no wonder that everyone is excited."
"That's right, that's really a bad job." Yu Qiuping also smiled and nodded, "If the city is successfully built, it is estimated that the territory of 10,000 shi will be acquired immediately."
"But not immediately," Niwa Nagahide thought for a moment, then held his chin and added, "Although the repair and further renovation of the city, the management of the territory and other tasks were all delegated to the builders at the beginning, but in that area Before the strategic location loses its strategic role, the income of the territory belongs to the lord, and the lord is likely to station in that city to take command."
"That's it." Yu Qiuping nodded casually and continued to look at Kinoshita Hideyoshi's expression with curious eyes. The latter's face was turning red and white at the moment, and his hands were moving restlessly. He originally looked like a samurai. He could no longer maintain his upright sitting posture, but was scratching his head and ears anxiously like a wild monkey. He was probably greedy for this mistake, but he also felt that it would be difficult for his 150-man army and 50 soldiers to complete such an action.
"But Momata is right next to my territory. If he encounters any trouble then, I can go and help him." Yu Qiuping thought to himself, "My lord will probably also be able to control the forward command position of West Meinong by then. It’s not my Kuroda Castle, but that Sumama Castle.”
etc!
Yu Qiuping's careless eyes suddenly focused, and he sat up straight. It seemed that a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, but it only passed by and he could not catch him.
"What did I just think of!" Yu Qiuping slammed his head, trying hard to recall the sparks that flashed in his mind just now, and his whole body froze. Thoughts flowed rapidly in his heart, and every nerve in his body fell into silence.
Come and make way for the anxious brain nerves.
Yu Qiuping's face was at war with heaven and man, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind. For a moment, he suddenly felt that his whole person was in a strange state. His whole body was chilling due to nervousness, but his heart was beating faster and faster.
It's coming faster and faster, almost out of breath. What I've been pursuing seems to be right in front of me, just a simple touch.
"Hongye, what's wrong with you?" Niwa Nagahide, who was sitting next to Yu Qiuping, asked curiously after seeing Yu Qiuping's strange expression. Lin Xiuzhen in the distance also noticed Yu Qiuping's strange expression, her eyes tightened.
He looked at him carefully.
However, Yu Qiupei, who was sitting so close to Niwa Nagahide and was chatting just now, turned a deaf ear to Niwa Nagahide's question and just shook his head blankly. Then, he took a deep breath and suddenly stood up.
.
He faced Oda Nobunaga, used almost all his concentration to stabilize his breathing and tone, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, please leave this task to me."
In his peripheral vision, he could see Kinoshita Hideyoshi getting ready to stand up and his expression of surprise and frustration - if he had spoken a second later, Kinoshita Hideyoshi would have stood up and begged for his life.
"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga seemed a little surprised by Yu Qiupei's initiative to ask for help. He walked slowly in front of him, stared into his eyes and said, "Why do you want to take the initiative to take over this task?"
"Report to my lord." Yu Qiuping was already sweating nervously. He could faintly feel that the feather fabric on his back was soaked with sweat, but he still maintained a stable tone and replied: "Momata is located in the northwest of my territory. I am familiar with the geography and
It's easy to get there early in the morning, and because I have some old friendship with the four wealthy Saito families on the north bank of the Kiso River, I think I can complete this mission. I am willing to dedicate my loyalty to my family."
"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga smiled noncommittally, "What about your plan?"
"It's a matter of confidentiality. I'd like to discuss it with my lord alone after the meeting." Yu Qiuping respectfully clasped his fists again.
After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows, patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder with a folding fan, then laughed and turned away and said: "No, you can make up your own mind."
"I can rest assured that you will do the work." He walked back to the main seat and sat down, "Then let's start formulating a battle plan."
·
After the meeting, good friends Maeda Toshiie, Ikeda Tsuneaki, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi immediately gathered around.
"Hongye, this is too much!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi clapped his hands in frustration, "To tell you the truth, I had already thought about taking on this mission! If you don't stand up, this fat job will be mine!
Why are you taking the credit from me!"
"Why are you taking your credit and taking your credit?" Maeda Toshiie laughed loudly from the side, "You monkey, you have made you look bad! This is not just trying to persuade others to surrender, just using words. This is to be treated as
How can you build a city on the other side of the Kiso River in front of thousands of troops from Simino? How can you do it with just one hundred and eighty people?"
"But, having said that, this is really not like your boy's style!" Ikeda Hengxing hung his arm on Yu Qiuping's shoulders and neck familiarly, and joked with a smile: "You are such a coward, after all these years
Have you ever taken the initiative to attack someone? You know defense, defense, defense all day long, but you actually take the initiative to ask for such a radical task?"
"This..." A wry smile appeared on Yu Qiuping's face, and he glanced at the three good brothers who had no idea. When he walked out of the door, the cold air made Yu Qiuping shiver. Although it was already late spring, these days
But he was still a little cold, so he tightened his clothes.
"But it's a cool autumn day."

After Yu Qiuping returned to the territory, he immediately called Sena Uji.
"Yihei, the joint caravan sent to Mino, after completing this wave of business, don't rush to set off for the next wave." Yu Qiuping told Sena Shiyi.
"Why? This is a hugely profitable deal?" Sena Shiyoshi was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood the subtext of Yu Qiuping's words, "But are you going to use troops against Mino?"
"That's right, this is a secret. Don't let it leak out." Yu Qiuping reminded in a low voice, "By the way, please help me call Jinbingwei, Quanbingwei and Xibingwei over. Just say that I have something important to discuss."
After Naoe Tadayei, Amano Keitoku and Sanada Masayuki arrived at Yu Qiupei's study on the third floor of the castle tower at the same time, Yu Qiupei dismissed everyone and sent all the guards to leave the third floor of the castle tower.
"Seeing this posture, you must have guessed that we are going to have a military operation." Yu Qiupei got straight to the point and explained directly, "The Lord is expected to send troops to Mino in May this year. He will lead the main force of Owari and Higashi Mino
The Oda family's troops cooperated and pretended to attack Mino to attract the Saito family's attention."
"And we will take the opportunity to send troops to Sumamata and build a city in Sumamata as a foothold for our army to advance towards Simeon."
"Huh?" Sanada Masayuki frowned when he heard this, "Why did Oda-den appoint His Highness to carry out such a task? Your Highness has never been known for attacking and building forts?"
"This is not a task assigned to me by the lord, but a task I requested myself." Yu Qiuping smiled, shook his head, and said in a deep voice.
When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked.
The keen Sanada Masayuki seemed to have noticed something. He quickly glanced at Naoe Tadayei and Amano Keitoku, and then cast a tentative gaze on Yu Qiupei.
"You guessed it right, Kihei." Yu Qiupei nodded to him in the affirmative, then faced Naoe Tadayei and Amano Keitoku, lowered his voice and said: "Besides you two, I have told everyone before that I want to rebel.
Hibei is here."
As soon as these words came out, Amano Keitoku and Naoe Tadayei were shocked. They naturally understood what Yu Qiupei meant.
It's time to take action.
After the two of them glanced at Sanada Masayuki, they both looked at Yu Qiupei. Amano Keitoku pursed his lips tightly, and Naoe Tadayei had sweat on his forehead and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, please make our plan clear."
Yu Qiuping paused, and suddenly thought of something said by a yellow-haired ninja in an anime he had watched in his previous life, which was a very suitable sentence to describe his plan.
"Art is—"
"explode."
