Kutake's words scared Yu Qiuping into a cold sweat. After finding an excuse to leave, he immediately arranged for ninjas to go around to inquire about the news. If you didn't inquire, you wouldn't know that the entire Suzaki City actually learned about the rumor overnight.
: The Uaki family and the Miyoshi family made a private peace, on the condition that they retreat to Urato Castle and allow the Miyoshi family to attack Okatoyo Castle, in exchange for the Miyoshi family letting the Momiji fleet return to Kinki. The samurai in the city and the people in the castle town outside the city are all.
Everyone is talking about this rumor. According to this trend, this rumor will soon spread throughout Tosa.
According to the investigation by the ninjas of the Yuqiu family, the rumor spreaders are most likely those spies of Yoshihide Miyoshi who have been lurking in Tosa for a long time. They deliberately spread similar rumors in various places at the same time, and spread quickly among the people.
"It's really terrible." Yu Qiuping, who was suffering from a headache, called his senior officers to a meeting again, "This rumor is really vicious!"
Spreading rumors is not just about making up a story, it involves many skills and considerations. Really mature rumors are not necessarily the most vicious and vicious ones, but must be within a moderate range - both
You can slander the enemy, but you can't exaggerate so that others don't believe it. Generally speaking, half-true and half-false rumors are the most lethal, and are much better than completely fabricated rumors. Half-true and half-false rumors rely on them to be true.
The part that adds authenticity makes the audience more worried about the consequences of the fake part.
For example, if the Mihaoshi family spreads a completely fabricated rumor: the Yuqiu family has formed an alliance with the Mihaoshi family and will jointly attack the Changzonggabu family. Although the results of the rumor are very scary, the authenticity is not high.
The Yuqiu family is the retainer of the Oda family and has a big feud with the Miyoshi family. It is impossible for them to ally with the Miyoshi family behind their master's back. Therefore, this rumor can only spread among the people for a while, but it will not be spread by the Chosougabe family.
The warriors believed.
However, this half-truth and half-false rumor from the Miyoshi family is just right: Uakiuhei has made private peace with the Miyoshi family, and on the condition of withdrawing to Urato Castle and allowing the Miyoshi family to attack Okatoyo Castle, in exchange for the Awaji Navy letting him return to Kinki
.The truth of this rumor is obviously much higher, because Miyoshi Yoshiken, who has a vicious eye, guessed the possible plan of the Yuqiu family-that is, to retreat to Urato Castle and wait until the Miyoshi family's food supplies are exhausted before retreating by ship.
. Therefore, this rumor that contains part of the truth is particularly lethal. Even if Yu Qiuping did not make peace with the Miyoshi family and just wanted to withdraw to Urado Castle, the Chosougabe family would inevitably be suspicious of this rumor.
Yu Qiuping's motivation.
This puts Yu Qiuping into a very embarrassing situation: if he still wants to withdraw to Urado Castle, the Chosougabe family will definitely think that he has made peace with the Miyoshi family in private. But if he makes a guarantee, there will definitely be no peace.
The Miyoshi family would not have such a plan during the peace talks, and the Yuqiu family would not be able to retreat to Urato Castle, which is equivalent to scrapping one of their plans.
"How should I respond? How should I explain this rumor to the people in the Changzong family? What do you think?" Yu Qiuping spread his hands and sincerely asked for advice from his subordinates, "We have been completely touched by Sanhaoyixian.
It’s clear, now it’s going to be troublesome.”
"How about we make a promise to the Changzong family that we will never make peace with the Mihaoshi family in private, so that they can rest assured." Yoshioka Shengzheng muttered angrily.
"Then we can't evacuate to Urado Castle, or even retreat. Otherwise, once we withdraw, the Chosougabe family will definitely suspect that the rumors are true, and we have to make way for the Sanuki people to go to Okafyo
The road to the city." Yu Qiuping didn't expect this brainless guy to come up with any reliable suggestions, and sighed, "Isn't this putting Yu Qiu's family in danger?"
"Then let's just say... considering the war situation, we think retreating is a more appropriate plan, but we have no intention of making peace with the Miyoshi family." Ogawa Yutong pondered for a while and proposed an alternative plan.
"The Changzong family is already very dissatisfied with our large-scale retreat. They won't believe this statement. They must think that we have colluded with the Sanhao family." Yu Qiuping shook his head again, "No."
"Or..." Fukuzawa Yunan frowned and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a good idea, "Let's tell His Highness Chang Zongga that the Miyoshi family spread such rumors not only to alienate our relationship.
, and even more so to force the Red Leaf Army to not dare to return to defense due to the pressure of public opinion, thereby creating an opportunity for the Miyoshi family to surprise the hinterland of Tosa. It is okay for the Red Leaf Army not to retreat, then we suggest His Highness Chosou Gabu to shrink the front and move the main force from
Pull back to the hinterland of Tosa from the mountainous area in northern Tosa and hold on to Oka Toyo Castle."
"This is okay." Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, Yu Qiuping can't think of a better way, "Just use this to reply to Lord Jiuwu."
·
As Yu Qiuping expected, the rumors about Miyoshi Yoshihide had a bad impact on the families of Tosa and Nagasogabe Motoharu.
On May 23, on the North Tosa Front, the important ministers of the Chosogabe family were holding an evaluation meeting.
"What does it mean to suggest that we all shrink completely? Isn't it just that those cowards are trying to find excuses for their retreat?" After listening to Kutake's report, the mob was furious. As the number one general in the family, he originally expressed his disapproval of the famous Yu.
Qiupei still respects Qiupei, and hopes to defeat the Miyoshi family with the help of Yu Qiupei's reinforcements. Who would have thought that after a month, the Chozonggabe family did not win a single victory, but were retreating steadily. Lianxi Tosa
Everything was lost. The greatly disappointed Fuliu Qinzheng's attitude towards the Yuqiu family took a turn for the worse, and he called the Yuqiu family "cowards" one after another.
"That's right, they just don't want to work for us, and all they want to do is go back to Kinki. Our ancestors fought for so long to capture Nishi Tosa, and they just threw it away!" Kuwana Yoshinari's territory is all in Nishi Tosa. At this moment
All of them have been occupied by the Mihaoshi family, and he doesn't know what happened to his relatives and land. He couldn't help but feel anxious, "If I had known this, I might as well not have called this guy to come for support!"
"Kawana-sama, please be careful what you say!" Seeing the excitement among the retainers, Kira Okasada couldn't help but mediate, "The loss of Nishi Tosa was not a crime of war. The Miyoshi family made a surprise attack on Nishi Tosa, and the troops fell apart. If it weren't for
Your Highness, the Governor, came to the rescue, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you anymore! How can I criticize His Highness, the Governor, so much?”
"Then how did the Miyoshi family launch a surprise attack on Nishi Tosa? Wasn't it because of Yuqiu Hongye's oversight? Tens of thousands of Sanyoshi's troops escaped under his nose, and they didn't react at all?" Yoshinari Kuwana said unceremoniously.
He retorted, "What else is there to explain?"
"Kawana-sama, at that time we also sent many people to Higashi Tosa to investigate, but nothing was found due to the interference of Miyoshi ninjas. As a foreign guest, how could His Highness Jibu do better than our master in intelligence? Moreover, if not
His Highness Jibu guessed the movements of the Miyoshi Army before all of us, and sent the navy to conduct reconnaissance while sending the troops westward. I am afraid that we will not suddenly realize it until the Miyoshi Army lands in Nishi Tosa. His Highness Jibu has done his best for our allies, and we are here
Wouldn't it be embarrassing to slander him behind his back?"
"Huh? Your Highness Kira? You were saved once by Yuqiu Hongye, and you are willing to speak for others? Do you still remember your position as a retainer of the Chosonggabu family?" A senior member of the Chosonggabu family, Chosong
The eldest son of my uncle's generation, Ibu Motoki, heard this and said sarcastically. Kira Kinsada saw that it was his elder who spoke, so he couldn't say much, so he had to keep silent.
After Kira Chisada stopped talking, no one in the entire camp could speak for Yu Qiuping. The retainers of the Choso Gabe family poured out their words to Yu Qiuping, and poured out the depression and anger of Nishi Tosa's loss into Yu Qiupei.
Gradually, everyone's emotions became intense. Fuliu Qinzheng even shouted angrily: "Let him get inside the Sanhao family, let him evacuate by himself! Even without him Yu Qiuping, we
We can still kill the Sanhao family!"
However, the words of Fuliu Qinzheng awakened many calm people in the Sanhao family, such as Xiangzong's family Qintai and Gu Zhongcheng. Xiangzong's family Qintai has always been responsible for the handover with the Yuqiu family, and the relationship is very good.
Therefore, in order to avoid getting into trouble, he wisely remained silent at the evaluation meeting. Tani Tadashi was the think tank of the Chosogabe family and made suggestions for the Chosogabe family. Both of them realized that although the Chosogabe family
I am very dissatisfied with the actions of the Amaki family, but the current situation cannot be without the Amaki family. Once the Red Leaf Army really withdraws from Susaki Castle and withdraws to Urado Castle, the west gate of Higashi Tosa will be opened to the Miyoshi family.
It only takes three days to reach the foot of Gangfeng Castle.
Therefore, the Chosougabu family must now stabilize Yu Qiupei, and they must use any method to keep him in Suzaki Castle. After Xiangsonggabu's relatives Tai and Tani Tadashi looked at each other, they simultaneously turned to look at the meeting.
The previous one said nothing, but the latter was staring at the south with a solemn expression, seemingly thinking about the same thing.
"Lord, I have a plan." Xiang Zongga's Tai and Gu Zhongcheng said almost in unison, and then looked at each other. Chang Zongga's Yuanqin heard what the two said, but did not look at either of them, just slowly
He dragged the focus of his sight from far away to the tent and whispered: "What's the explanation?"
Xiang Zonggabu Qin Tai and Gu Zhongcheng came up to Changzonggabu Yuanqin and each told their own strategies. Changzonggabu Yuanqin smiled noncommittally, then clapped his hands three times and knocked hard with his right hand.
He got off the table and said, "I also have a plan."
"Before that, we need to be clear." Changzong's Yuanqin stood up slowly, looked around the quiet tent, and said in a deep voice, "Are the Yuqiu family allies or pawns?"
