Chapter 1888 The decisive battle with Maori determines the outcome
Facing the three test questions thrown by Hideyoshi Hashiba, the newly promoted military advisor Kuroda Takataka only showed a cold smile.
The once pretty girl Ji Samurai now has her legs crooked and her head turned upside down. Her youthfulness has faded away, and all she has left in her heart is the pursuit of power.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was Kuroda Takaka's own choice. Now that he had accepted the certificate of surrender and boarded the Hashiba family's ship, he could not let the ship capsize.
Otherwise, the cost of Takaka Kuroda's body and disfigurement will be wasted.
After thinking for a long time, Kuroda Takaka said.
"My lord has three worries. In fact, they are to solve the problems of the Mori family, the Oda family, and the Shiba family."
Hideyoshi Hashiba narrowed his eyes slightly, Takaka Kuroda had such a loud tone.
The Maori family has a million stones, and can be called the overlord of the Western Kingdom. Oda Nobunaga rose to power and swept across all countries to seize four million stones. Yoshigoshi Shiba was even a saint admired by martial arts families all over the world, and an uncrowned shogun.
Get rid of these three companies? Even Hideyoshi Hashiba, who is so ambitious, would not dare to speak so loudly.
Looking at Kuroda Takataka, Hashiba Hideyoshi smiled instead of angry, as if he was seeing another ambitious version of himself, younger and more greedy than himself.
"Interesting, you are right to say that. If I can solve these three companies, all the problems in the world will no longer be problems."
Kuroda Takaka bowed slightly and continued regardless of whether Hideyoshi Hideyoshi's words were serious or sarcastic.
"My Lord must defeat the Maori family as soon as possible, this spring and summer."
"Why?"
"Because Akechi Mitsuhide will take action soon, and His Highness Oda is not going to die soon.
In order to obtain the greatest inheritance of the Oda family, you must return to Kinki as soon as His Majesty Oda dies and take the initiative."
Hashiba Hideyoshi frowned.
"Would Mitsuhide Akechi really take action so quickly?"
Kuroda Takaka said coldly.
"The saint stayed in Kinki for a year, and now he has returned to Kanto again.
According to intelligence, there was some trouble in Kanto, enough to tie up the saint's hands and feet, leaving him temporarily unable to take care of Kinki affairs.
The top person in charge of the Shiba family in Kinki and the sage's most trusted acting official, Katsuhisa Niko, has died. Maeda's successor, Katsuhisa Niko, is far less cautious than Katsuhisa Niko.
If Akechi Mitsuhide wants to take action, this is the best opportunity."
Hideyoshi Hashiba narrowed his eyes.
"If it's just to avoid the saint, your reasoning seems to lack some convincing.
Without absolute certainty, Akechi Mitsuhide will not take action. There is only one chance to kill His Highness Oda, and His Highness Oda will never give Akechi Mitsuhide a second chance."
Kuroda Takaka said in a deep voice.
"Not only that.
Last year, the saint spread the divine seeds widely in Kinki, including His Highness Oda, His Highness Hosokawa, as well as important ministers of the Shiba family, Akechi Mitsuhide, Maeda Yoshida, Maeda Toshiie, Yamanaka Yukimori and others who became pregnant successively.
With the power of the divine seed, all the concubines are in a state of weakness at the moment. Starting from spring, they will enter the birth period one after another.
It is difficult for gods to give birth, and their ability to control emergencies in Kinki before and after childbirth will fall to the bottom.
Especially for Oda-sama, her weakness is an opportunity for Akechi Mitsuhide. So I judge that next summer and autumn will be the best time for Akechi Mitsuhide to take action."
Hearing Kuroda Takataka say the name of the pregnant woman one by one, Hideyoshi's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Although under the persuasion of Takenaka Shigeharu, Hideyoshi Hashiba was determined to give up that man for his own career, he still felt uncomfortable hearing about that man's sowing process.
Slut, you slut...anyone can do it, right? Then why can't I? Why can't I!
Seeing Hashiba Hideyoshi's expression uncertain, Kuroda Takaka asked in surprise.
"Lord?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi took a deep breath, shook his head and said.
"I'm fine.
What you said makes sense, but don’t forget that Akechi Mitsuhide herself is also in this period of childbirth, and she will also fall into weakness."
Kuroda Takagao sighed.
"I have carefully studied Akechi Mitsuhide, and her forbearance and ruthlessness are extraordinary and admirable.
If she would give up this great opportunity because of her own weakness, then she would not be the ultimate poisonous warrior who terrified the Kinki samurai family and was the mastermind behind the murder of previous generals.
She will definitely take action, so we must deal with the Mori family before she takes action, return to Kinki, and pick the biggest peach in this mess."
Hideyoshi Hashiba narrowed his eyes.
"After all, the Maori family is a wealthy family. It would be too fanciful to want to eliminate the Maori family in just one spring and summer."
Kuroda Takaka said with a smile.
"Solving it is not eliminating it. Although the Maori family is strong, its weaknesses are also very obvious.
The Maori family started from the wealthy family of Aki Province and swallowed up the larger ones from a small age. In fact, their control over the Western Samurai family has always been very weak.
The Maori Yuan used the One-Mao-Two-Sichuan system to stabilize the core, and used the national people's collegial system to win over the peripheral people's forces.
In addition, the people of the country, regardless of their size, treat the Maori family equally by paying allegiance letters, making it impossible for the people of the big country to govern the people of the small country, and minimizing the constraints of the people of the country on the Maori family.
Maori Yuan is a hero of a generation, and her strategies are indeed effective, but they also expose the Maori family's biggest concern, which is unity.
Only those who have forgotten their original intention will remind them day and night not to forget their original intention, and only those who lack faith will repeat their original vows every day.
The Maori family likes to shout about unity. The biggest reason is that her family is really not united.
Mourimoto himself once said that if he loses five countries in one defeat, he will return to Anyi after two defeats, and his family will be destroyed in three defeats. Therefore, the Mouri family is very afraid of defeat.
The Maori family is just the leader of the alliance of wealthy families in the Western Kingdom. Under the seemingly powerful appearance, there are many hills inside, and they have more thoughts. If they are not careful, they will cause an avalanche of falling trees and scattering hozens.
As the leader of the alliance, the Maori family cannot abandon the franchisees. Any abandonment will make all members of the alliance feel cold.
Therefore, if you gather a large army and attack with all your strength at a place where the Maori family must be rescued, the Maori family will have to come out in full force to come to the rescue.
All we need to do is to encircle the area and fight for reinforcements, and defeat the main force of the Maori family that comes to the rescue, and the Maori family's wealthy alliance will be shaken.
In order to maintain their own power, the Maori family will definitely agree to negotiate and make peace with you.
In this way, you can get rid of the threat of the Maori family, lead your army back to Kinki, and seize the Oda family's inheritance as soon as possible."
Hideyoshi Hashiba touched his chin and asked.
"Where do you think we should fight?"
Kuroda Takataka said.
"Of course it's Beizhong.
You know the importance of Bei China. This is a battleground for military strategists, and the current generals still live in the Bingo country behind Bei China, which is of great significance to Maori politics.
In preparation for an attack on China, the Maori family could not retreat. This retreat would shake the earth, and they could only send out all-out troops to rescue.
We are concentrating all our strength to attack China, and it is the right time, place and people. If we can win a big victory over the Maori family, it will have the effect of settling the world."
