At noon on March 27, outside the Tensou Pavilion of Okazaki Castle.
"Hongye, why are you here?" Matsupei Motokara rushed over after receiving a notice from his subordinates. It was revealed that Yu Qiuping and four or five followers were holding horses, waiting outside the Tianshou Pavilion.
"I have been to Sanhe for dozens of days and haven't visited you yet. Come and see Takechiyo." Yu Qiuping smiled.
"No," Matsuhira Motokaku also smiled and shook his head, looking at Yu Qiuping, "Hongye is well-educated, not like someone who comes to visit guests empty-handed! It's probably for business."
"Haha, I'm revealed." Yu Qiuhei patted Matsuhira Motoyaku's shoulder and smiled: "I've been with His Highness Sena for a long time, and I feel like I'm also inclined to become a workaholic."
"Your Highness Songping, don't listen to my noble nonsense!" Xinshi Aishan, who came with Yu Qiuping, immediately interrupted: "Since my noble married the princess, he has returned to his room early every night to rest, and has not become a workaholic!"
As soon as Suishan said the truth, Yu Qiuping and Matsue Motokaku's servants around him immediately smiled and their faces were flushed. Even the guards in the distance laughed. Matsue Motokaku looked at Yu Qiuping with a subtle expression and said with a smile: "Last time, Hongye and I mentioned that we wanted to reproduce for the family, Hongye really promised a thousand gold, and we did what we said."
Yu Qiuping, who couldn't hold his face, knocked on Suishan Shishi's head a few times, and said viciously to Xiaobajiesheng: "You take people to watch several whale houses in Zhili City. Without my order, you are not allowed to let him in!"
"And!" Yu Qiuping felt that it was not enough and added: "No one is allowed to tell Zhongxiu that kid. If Zhongxiu knows, Quan Sanhe will know! I want you to look good!"
"Yes! Your Highness!" Several cavalrymen under him saluted, leaving Xueshan standing still as if he was dead, as if he had seen the girls gradually drift away from him.
"You are really good. Seeing that it is His Highness Hongye, you won't let him in!" Matsuhei Motokaku blamed several guards.
"Your Highness Matsuhide," said several guards in a low voice, "This is what Your Highness Guankou ordered. Without His Highness Guankou's orders, no one is allowed to enter and exit without authorization."
"Ah?" Matsuhei Motoyasu was stunned for a moment, "That is, I can't lead people in now, right?"
"I'm really sorry, Your Highness." Several guards bowed apologetically.
"Why is this again..." Before Yu Qiuping finished speaking, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from the Tianshou Pavilion. Guankou Shi Guang walked over quickly and led Yu Qiuping's entourage to the fourth floor of the Tianshou Pavilion.
"Hongye wants to ask why," Shizuoshi sighed helplessly, "Do you still remember the sneak attack from the Oda family two years ago?"
"I will never forget it." Matsuhira Motoyaku whispered. Obviously, the sneak attack brought a deep impression. "The Oda family didn't know what means to obtain the detailed supply routes and the place and time of the supply team."
"Can there be a traitor?" Yu Qiuping was suddenly stunned.
"It's very likely," said Shi Guang, a whispering in a low voice, "Your Highness, the governor, told me several times that I had to pay more attention, but I found nothing. Seeing that there was another big move recently, I was afraid that the action would be leaked again, so I put the Tianshou Pavilion, which had stored important documents, into martial law."
"Your Highness Guardu is not as good as the country," Matsuhira Motoyasu bowed and praised.
"What a coincidence, I came here this time and wanted a map." Yu Qiuping said, "Your Highness, the governor of the family, asked me to participate in the formulation of the combat plan when I went to Luo. I plan to ask for a map and then go to the front line to take a look to facilitate the formulation."
"No problem. I will give you a more refined border map later." Shinguchi Shizuo agreed readily, "Hongye, when you returned to Jun Mansion, you passed by Yinma City. Remember to bring greetings to His Highness Sememe for me."
Yu Qiuping got the map and returned to the Tianshou Pavilion in Chili Castle, and then looked at it carefully. It was similar to the map that Aobi Taehyung got the year before, except that he drew more detailed terrain such as hills.
The Zhili City where Yu Qiuping is located, as well as the Dagucheng and the Tuksanji, form an inverted triangle. The northwest of Zhili City is the Tuksanji, and the northeast of Zhili City is the Dagucheng. The Dagucheng and the Tuksanji are separated by 15 miles, while the west of the Tuksanji are Minghai City and Dagao City. The north of Minghai City is the control area of ​​the Oda family.
To the north of the line of Dagao, the Tuokaku, there are large undulating hills and forests. To enter Ohara from the Sanhe side, either bypass the east of Dagao, and go straight to the Momori Castle. Or go north from Naihaku, and go straight to the Kuno Castle. Or go north from Tuokaku, and go north to the Kuno Castle to reach the Kuno Ferry - this is the route of the Oda family's last surprise attack.
"Hei, are you looking at the map?" Imakawa Kaede walked in with a cup of tea and sent it to Yuqiuping. Yuqiuping thanked him, and Imakawa Kaede sat down next to him.
"Is this... Budsanjian?!" Imakawa Kaede saw these three words and his body trembled suddenly as if he was electrocuted.
"That's right." Yu Qiuping nodded, "In his previous life... His Highness, the family governor, was here... and died by a surprise attack."
"But this time, we will dispatch more than 10,000 soldiers like our previous life," Imagawa Kaede asked in confusion, as if he wanted to prove that the death of his father did not exist in history. "Oda's family only had three thousand soldiers... How can I get my father..."
"Your Highness the Lord of the Family may have been too proud at that time, and he divided his troops." Yu Qiupi said with a frown, "Your Highness Katsuyama went from the east to Momori Castle and Kiyoju Castle. His Highness Asana and His Highness Matsue attacked Washizu Fort and Maruen Fort respectively to relieve the siege of Otaka Castle. His Highness Sememe and many powerful families led their troops to monitor the three forts around Nakai Castle, echoing His Highness Okabe in Nakai Castle." Yu Qiupi said in a low voice: "But there are only three or four thousand soldiers left by the Lord of the Family... and there is no great advantage over the Oda family. Moreover, it is said that the road is narrow, with hills on both sides, so the troops cannot be deployed."
"What's even more unfortunate is that when Oda Nobunaga came to attack the original formation, it happened to rain heavily. We were in a position against the wind and couldn't even open our eyes. When the front line was repelled, the troops in the rear could not come forward to support in time, and Oda Nobunaga took the opportunity to seek the governor of the family..."
"So I plan to... take the plan." Yu Qiuhei knocked twice in the bucket between the narrow pails, "I put on the same posture as in history, luring Oda Nobunaga to come and attack and wipe him out in one fell swoop!"
"Do you want to hear the truth? I don't understand why Hei still needs to study this Guansanama." Imakawa Kaede said with some fear: "Since Oda Nobunaga succeeded in the surprise attack with so many opportunities, Hei, as long as you suggest that your father do not divide his troops and advance bypassing the Guansanama, will something definitely happen?"
"But it's not that simple." Yu Qiuping shook his head, "The army of 30,000 people cannot be surrounded by groups all the time. When walking on the road, it will inevitably be dispersed, or a single action, or a long snake. But Nobunaga's behavior cannot be speculated by common sense. If we bypass the bucket, maybe he will fight to the death in other places. He is familiar with Ohara geography, and it is not impossible. If such a thing happens, it will be out of my control."
"Instead of this, it's better to annihilate him in one fell swoop in the drumsam. At least I can grasp everything through history." Yu Qiuping said confidently, "and to annihilate Nobunaga's main force in the field, Ozaka can issue an edict, save a lot of troops and food, and prepare for Shangluo."
"But..." Although Imagawa Kaede had been persuaded by Yu Qiuping, she was still worried about Imagawa Yoshimoto's safety.
"Don't worry, you don't know how timid and conservative your husband is." Yu Qiuping laughed and said, "I will definitely come up with a complete solution! If not, I would rather let the governor of your Highness stay in Okazaki Castle and try my best to advise him not to go to the front line! Besides, your Highness has a shadow warrior, don't forget it!"
"Hey." Imakawa Kaede muttered, "You have to promise me that not only dad, but you also have to be safe."
"Okay, but if you want me to swear, you have to take out some exchanges." Yu Qiuping smiled maliciously, "For example... the posture I mentioned last time..."
A blush appeared on Imakawa's cheeks, and he pinched Yu Qiuping's waist with his backhand.
"Okay, okay! I won't say it anymore!" Yu Qiuping said in a hurry. But Imakawa Kaede walked to the bed without saying a word, turned his back to Yu Qiuping, fiddled with his hands on his chest a few times, and then his coat fell quietly to the ground.
"Hey!" Yu Qiuping was shocked.
"Hey, you are a liar who is lying to you, don't you?" Imakawa Kaede's voice trembled a little because of shyness. "For the sake of your wish to come back safely...it's better...you'll be a bargain. I won't be the case!"
The next morning, Yu Qiuhei was neatly dressed under the service of Imakawa Kaede - after all, Yu Qiuhei still felt that it was better to be safer. He took Thirty Knights and Masayuki Sanada to the area around Tengsanjian to investigate the terrain.
Sure enough, intuitive field investigations are much more realistic than maps. Although Yu Qiuping had been to the Chuan Side twice before, they only passed by next to the Chuan Side, and did not really come to the hilly area where Chuan Side relied on. This section of hilly road is narrow, and it passes from the southeast to the west. There are still many trees and shrubs on the hills on both sides, which are difficult to walk. If the troops are really blocked in this hill, many people will not be able to do anything.
Yu Qiuping, led by the local guide, came to Tianlekanjian in the middle of the Tengsanjian - where Ikawa Yoshimoto died in his previous life. The passage between this hills was particularly narrow, and the hills on both sides were also higher, which could almost be called a hillside. There were spaces for garrisons on both sides of the road, the southwest and the east hillsides, without much interference from trees and shrubs.
Thirteen miles to the west is Minghai City. The Oda Army's surprise attack troops in his previous life were bypassing Minghai City, passing through the Danxia Fort, and the Shanzhao Temple Fort.
Yu Qiuping turned over and got off the horse and stood on the hillside on the southwest side of the Chuan Nian for a long time. He looked at the official roads coming and going, the city in the distance, and restored the movements of the armies in the history of his previous life to the battlefield. After a long time, a smile climbed up to the corner of his mouth.
Chapter completed!
