Chapter 1601 8 Shakuhara

Ishigaki Castle.

Yun Zheng received the news from Gao He.

Tanaka Nobuyuki told Gao He all of his and Hojo Tsune's plans, and asked Gao He to help convey them to Yun Zheng.

Tanaka Nobuyuki also solemnly guaranteed that Hojo Tsuneyasu must have surrendered sincerely.

"Do you think it's credible?"

After reading the letter, Jia Yao asked Yun Zheng again.

"Believable!"

Yun Zheng gave an affirmative answer.

"uh-huh?"

Jia Yao's lips curled up slightly, "You believed Tanaka Nobu so easily? This is not like your style!"

Is Yun Zheng a suspicious person?

Well, it should be considered half!

He seldom doubted the people under his command.

But he was still suspicious of these foreigners.

Not to mention others, even she had been suspected by Yun Zheng for a long time.

Now, Yun Zheng actually believed Tanaka Nobuyuki so easily?

"Since ancient times, the weak have always depended on the strong."

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Tanaka Nobuyuki is ambitious, and he should know how to take advantage of the situation! He should understand that if Minamoto Nagamasa can give him benefits, I can give him too! If Minamoto Nagamasa can't give him, I can also give him!"

Nobuyuki Tanaka is also a person who has "further studied" in Shuobei.

He believed that Tanaka Nobuyuki should be aware of his past performance.

Tanaka Nobuya was also aware of the gap in strength between Yu State and Daqian.

At this time, why would he give up his high position and generous salary to plot against the soon-to-be-defeated Minamoto Nagamasa?

Isn't this simply a case of brain disease?

"This is real strength, and it's tough to speak!"

Jia Yao teased Yun Zheng, then turned serious and said, "That is to say, we have to cooperate with Tanaka Nobu to act out this play, right?"

"Ok!"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "It just so happens that the 8,000 troops we secretly deployed northeast of Susano Castle can now be put to use!"

The eight thousand men were there to prevent Minamoto no Nagamasa from leading his troops to launch a surprise attack on Tanaka Nobuyuki's troops.

But now, since Minamoto Nagamasa wants to put on a show with Tanaka Nobuyuki to lure them to support him, they will cooperate to the end!

If you want to ambush them, be prepared to be ambushed by them!

Jia Yao smiled, his eyes fell on the map again, and nodded: "This Bashiyuan is a good place to encircle!"

Hachishagahara is a small plain between the three castles of Kurose Castle, Ishigaki Castle and Susa Castle.

Of course, plain, this is what the people of Yu say.

In their eyes, this is a low-lying area surrounded by mountains.

The terrain here is low. Once the army is trapped in Bashiyuan, the enemy can completely destroy their troops by water attack.

From this point of view, the enemy's plan is quite good.

Yun Zheng's eyes fell on Bashihara, and a cold smile appeared on his face: "Since the enemy wants to encircle us, then we will counter-encircle them! Eat up some of their troops and then attack Susano Castle, our casualties will be much smaller!"

Having said that, Yun Zheng immediately ordered someone to call Qin Qihu and Wang Qi over.

For Qin Qihu, the previous battle was not even an appetizer.

If Minamoto no Nagamasa really believed what Tanaka Nobuyuki said, this battle should have allowed Qin Qihu to have a good kill!

Soon, two people came to take orders.

Yun Zheng didn't say anything more and gave the order directly: "I order the two of you to lead 10,000 infantrymen, with Wang Qi as the chief general and Qin Qihu as the deputy general. Once you receive the order from the king, lead the troops and set off immediately!"

"what?"

Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, isn't it a waste of talent to let General Qin serve as my deputy general?"

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "He has always led cavalry and rarely led infantry. You are more suitable to be the commander than him! Let him be your deputy commander, mainly to let him have some fun, so that he won't complain about being idle all day long."

"well!"

Qin Qihu nodded repeatedly, "Who cares about the commander or deputy commander? As long as I can go into battle and kill the enemy, that's enough!"

He really doesn't care about the position of a commander.

What's so good about worrying about the position of commander of a mere 10,000-man army?

If there were 50,000 people, he might still keep it in mind.

"The last general takes command!"

Seeing that Qin Qihu said so, Wang Qi didn't say anything more.

Yun Zheng smiled and instructed Qin Qihu: "You can also ask Wang Qi for advice on commanding infantry when you have nothing to do. In the future battlefield, cavalry will gradually be eliminated. There is no harm in learning more about commanding infantry."

The cavalry will definitely not be eliminated in the short term.

But with the popularization and development of hot weapons, the size of cavalry will inevitably decrease.

The era of cavalry clashes will eventually pass.

The cavalry of the future will most likely be used only for rapid infiltration and marching.

"I will obey your orders!"

Qin Qihu answered loudly.

After Qin Qihu and Wang Qi left, Yun Zheng lowered his head and began to think again.

Since we are going to act, we might as well act it more realistically!

After discussing with Jia Yao, Yun Zheng called He Asu again and ordered him to organize the army and march towards Susa Castle early the next morning.

He and Jia Yao led the remaining troops to stay in Ishigaki City.

……

Early the next morning, the army in Ishigaki Castle began to leave the city.

The 6,000 men led by Heasu served as the vanguard, while the troops led by Wang Qi and Qin Qihu temporarily served as the central army.

The army marched towards Susa Castle in a mighty manner, and it looked like they were going to attack Susa.

As their army set out, Minamoto no Nagamasa also received the news at the first time.

When night fell, Minamoto no Nagamasa received news that Tanaka Nobuyuki's troops in Kurose Castle were also marching towards Susa Castle and were expected to reach the outskirts of Susa Castle within two days.

"Great!"

Upon receiving this news, Minamoto Nagamasa was overjoyed.

The more Yun Zheng wants to attack Susano Castle, the more chances they have.

After they eliminate Yun Zheng’s troops that support Tanaka Nobuyuki’s troops, they can head straight for Ishigaki City!

Once they captured Shiyuan City, it would be equivalent to locking Yun Zheng’s army out!

After the 20,000 troops from the south came to support, they surrounded Yun Zheng's troops on all sides!

By then, it will be difficult for Yun Zheng to avoid defeat!

Yuan Changzheng suddenly became excited at the thought of having the opportunity to skin Yun Zheng alive and pull out his tendons.

Minamoto no Nagamasa pondered for a while, then summoned all the generals and quickly issued an order: "Uesugi Yu, you will lead 10,000 troops to attack Kurose Castle immediately! Ikeda Kame, I order you to lead 5,000 troops to cover the right wing of Uesugi Yu's troops!"

"Leave now?"

Uesugi Yu and Ikeda Kame asked at the same time.

"Yes, let's go now!"

Minamoto Nagamasa said in a deep voice: "Speed ​​is of the essence in war! If you set out overnight, you may encounter Tanaka Nobu's troops before dark tomorrow! Once Tanaka Nobu asks Yun Zheng for help, Yun Zheng will most likely send troops to support him overnight..."

By the time Yun Zheng's troops arrived to provide support, they were already exhausted.

If they suddenly joined forces with Tanaka Nobuyuki to attack the reinforcements sent by Yun Zheng at this time, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort!

This is a great opportunity to defeat Yun Zheng, we must not let it go!

"Yes!"

Upon learning of Minamoto Nagamasa's detailed plan, the two men did not dare to delay and immediately went to prepare the army.

After the two men left, Yaliang immediately asked Minamoto Nagamasa: "Should we send another 5,000 troops to the right wing of General Uesugi's army? Or, send another 5,000 troops as the rear army, just in case?"
