"bump!"

A big hand wearing black armor slammed two pieces of paper with handwriting on the low table, shaking the candlesticks at the corner of the table, and the owner of the hand was sitting behind the table, looking around the room The other people had fierce looks in their eyes.

"Gentlemen, everyone has read the information sent by the scouts, so please share your own opinions."

One of the people in the next seat immediately said: "My lord, the Yunge army dispatched troops very quickly. Judging from the information that was only a day before and after, the opponent actually wiped out the root crowd that was as powerful as our family in just one day! What does this mean? ? It shows that this person's ambition must not be underestimated!"

Another man dressed as a middle-aged general sitting opposite him couldn't help but nodded, "Master Yoshikawa is right, this kind of military training is definitely not an ordinary samurai's plan. We didn't pay attention to the sudden rise of the opponent before, but we didn't expect In just a few months, Yunge's army has grown to what it is today. Therefore, my lord, whether it is war or peace, please make plans as soon as possible!"

The person called the lord is the current lord of Ota Castle, Yoshishige Satake, who is also the leader of the current Ota clan. As the No. 19 head of the Satake family, it can be said that he has witnessed hundreds of years of ups and downs during the Warring States Period, at least in terms of experience. It is not comparable to ordinary upstart samurai.

He frowned, and his eyes fell on the two scribbled papers on the table again. The candle was dimly lit. He pondered for a moment and said, "...the visitor is not kind."

The retainers below were all extremely well-behaved, and no one dared to interrupt his thoughts.

"Although the monks in Nerai Temple have had a lot of encounters with the main family (referring to the Satake family), in the final analysis, we are all from the rich family of Jiyi. Going back hundreds of years, it is impossible to say that our two families have contacts... ...But how can we allow the guys with unknown origins to be presumptuous here!"

Having said that, Yoshishige Satake couldn't help but patted the table angrily, "Bring me the map!"

As soon as the order came out, the caring little surname quickly fetched the map of Kii Country and the surrounding neighboring territories—although it was drawn with just a few strokes like the stick figures of later generations, the location of each place can be roughly seen.

By candlelight, he stared at the newly painted red dot with the word "Yunge" written in a circle, and the black dot with "Genlai Temple" written on it, silently estimated the distance between the two, and suddenly had an idea.

"Tokuchu-kun, Yoshikawa-kun, and others, come and see, if you can rush from Genlai Temple to help Wakayama, the headquarters of the Yunge family, from Genlai Temple as quickly as possible-how long will it take?"

A few people gathered around and calculated, and gave their answers one after another, most of them were within three days.

Satake called the ninja who was watching outside again, and after asking, he learned that the speed of the opponent's march was indeed this speed.

At this moment, Yoshikawa seemed to realize something, "Could it be that my lord means to take advantage of the fact that the Yunge army has just captured Genlai Temple, and before it has established a firm foothold, to attack it by surprise?"

Satake Yoshishige glanced at his counselor meaningfully, "What do you mean by 'unprepared'?"

Yoshikawa was taken aback: "Genlai Temple?"

However, another retainer suddenly interrupted: "You are wrong, Mr. Yoshikawa, the weakest place to be unprepared at this time is of course the Yunge family that has already swarmed out."

Yoshikawa turned around dissatisfied, and found that it was his opponent who liked to sing against him on weekdays. He suppressed his dissatisfaction deeply, "Master Xijing is full of confidence? What if the Yunge family has a backup? If our army attacks rashly , what should I do if I am ambushed..."

"Hahahaha!" This time, the military general named Dezhong laughed loudly, "Master Yoshikawa may be worrying too much. Judging from the report, the Yunge family's army has indeed gone out. Even if the family In terms of financial resources, raising thousands of ashigaru and dozens of cavalry is the limit. Moreover, the family has been based here for a hundred years, with rich wealth and talents. In other words, the owner of the Yun Pavilion would not be able to do it better than us."

Yoshikawa was very aggrieved, he raised his head, hoping to get the support of the lord, but to his disappointment, Satake Yoshishige actually agreed to this somewhat aggressive idea.

"Mr. Yoshikawa, I know that you are cautious and think twice about everything... But this is also a common problem of you counselors! We, the powerful warriors, should act decisively and not be afraid of danger!"

"The roots have been entangled with our family for many years, and now they are destroyed. Others don't know the truth that we seem to be hostile, but we are actually cold-hearted. I want to write to that bastard Yoshitaka Kumoni (the leader of the Kumano Navy) and ask him to cooperate with our family and work together. Send out troops, and try to defeat this scabies disease in one fell swoop!" He said proudly, seeing this action as an excellent opportunity for the Satake family to unify Kii, "Tell him, whoever takes down the territory will belong to him!"

Up to now, the retainers did not dare to disobey any more, they could only respond in unison, each preparing for the upcoming dispatch of troops.

At this time, Yasuhara Shiyu, who was far away in the base camp, didn't know that she was about to be stabbed, and what she was worried about now was another thing.

"Lord!"

Several retainers of different ages, but all with loyal faces, knelt in front of her, bowed their heads and said in unison:

"Please accept more wives and concubines, and spread the branches and leaves for the blood of the family as soon as possible!"

Yasuhara Tokiha: "..."
