Kosaka Masanobu's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he immediately elevated Uesugi Yoshikage's personal calculation to the overall strategic consideration. Uesugi Yoshikage was stunned for a moment.
If you don’t say that you are still old, Kosaka Masanobu has followed Takeda Shingen and conquered all directions and has seen many bad things. Compared with the juniors here, she is the real bad guy.
Uesugi Yoshikage's little plan to provoke the generals was completely unnecessary in the opinion of Kosaka Masanobu. The reasons were easy to find, so you could fight if you wanted to.
Ichijo Hideyoshi was preparing to attack Luo at Yodo Castle, so he must send a vanguard to test the strength of Toba Fushimi's defense line and find weak points to break through.
Hachisuka Masakatsu took the Toba Street west of the Kamogawa River and headed north, while Yokoojinuma in the south was sandwiched between the Kamogawa River and the Uji River.
There are two ways to bypass Yokodaijinuma. Go to the Kamogawa River and pass through the Tomi no Mori, and go to the Uji River and pass through the Senryo Pine. Hideyoshi would definitely send someone to clear the route.
As for Fukushima Masanori passing through Tominomori, it is equivalent to taking the east bank route of the Kamogawa River. Going northeast, you must pass Toba Rikyu Palace.
Ichijo Hideyoshi may not let Fukushima Masanori take the initiative, and his troops may just be here to investigate the route situation.
But Yoshikage Uesugi was in the Toba Imperial Palace and was being attacked by others. There was nothing wrong with having complicated ideas.
She can maintain defense strategically, take the initiative to attack tactically, and fight back the opponent's temptations.
From the perspective of the overall interests of the Toba Fushimi Defense Line, organizing the enemy to conduct effective reconnaissance is a reasonable military behavior.
Even if Uesugi Yoshikage is really eager to grab credit, with this fig leaf, Otani Yoshikage can't say anything. He might even have to smile bitterly and praise Uesugi Yoshikage who is actively defensive.
As for the saint... he has selfish motives in arranging for his daughter to perform meritorious deeds. As long as the reason is sufficient and outsiders have nothing to say, the saint will only say that his daughter is great and does very well.
Kosaka Masanobu's words made several juniors nod their heads.
Uesugi Yoshikage was overjoyed and simply agreed.
"Send an envoy to report to Lord Yoshitsugi Otani of Fushimi Castle that a regiment of Suga Masakatsu's troops has arrived on the west bank of the Kamogawa River, facing our troops across the water, and is ready to move.
An army from the south, Fukushima Masanori's troops, came day and night, intending to pass through Tomino Forest and form a siege and pincer attack on our Toba Rikyu Palace.
In order to ensure the safety of Toba Palace and to ensure that there are no loopholes in Toba's defense line, our department is bound to launch an active defense strategy and take the initiative to attack the invading enemy!"
Uesugi Yoshikage glanced at the women present, the gloom in his heart was swept away, and he laughed loudly.
"Princes, please follow me to defeat Hoshizuka first, then attack Fukushima, and together we will win the first victory in the first battle!"
