    "Haha, I don't know whether to live or die. No matter whether you go to the Hojo family or the Takeda family, neither family has the ability to support you at this time, so you just wait to die." Faced with the Geshan family's blatant clamor, Masarasu didn't take it seriously.  , and even Zhengliang hopes that the Kazuyama family can be more arrogant, so as to lure out the other wealthy families who are lurking and dissatisfied with the Toe Imagawa family, so that Zhengliang can take the opportunity to eliminate these hidden dangers.  At the same time, this time for the expedition against the Geshan family, Zhengliang planned to only lead a part of the elites so that the rest of the elite could be fully rested. As for the main force to attack the Geshan family, he planned to use the powerful troops from various parts of the Imagawa family.  The purpose of this arrangement is, on the one hand, to see how loyal these wealthy families are to the Imagawa family, and on the other hand, to see if it is possible to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of these wealthy families.  "How is the recruitment situation?" Now that the decision was made, Zhengliang immediately began to ask the retainers about the recruitment situation.  "It will take ten days to complete the recruitment." Several retainers under his command frowned. The Imagawa family had just been unified, and the vocabulary was still being integrated. Moreover, many wealthy families had a wait-and-see attitude towards the new family governor, so the recruitment was natural.  Not so smoothly.  "Don't be idle during this period. Xuan Yi drafted a document, using his identity as the new governor of the Imagawa family, to order the wealthy families in Mikawa, Toe, and Suruga to attack the rebellious Katsurayama clan. Then give Zentokuji Castle  , the Taiyuan family issued an order asking them to come with their troops and swear an oath to fight together, otherwise they will be regarded as traitors and be punished." Zheng Liang said.  The Taiyuan family's Shande Temple City happened to be blocking the path of Zhengliang's march, and it was one of the nails that had to be pulled out.  However, the former governor of the Taiyuan family, Taiyuan Xuezhai, was the former military advisor of the Imagawa family, even after Taiyuan Xuezhai died.  The Taiyuan family has been in decline.  But his status in the Imagawa family is still very noble.  Therefore, it is uncertain whether the Taiyuan family will come to Junfu City.  However, when the Taiyuan family governor received the order from Zheng Liang, he was more rogue than angry.  After the death of his father, Taihara Sekssai, the Taiyuan family began to decline, and at this time, the Suruga Imagawa family, as its head family, was annexed by the Toe Imagawa family. With the strength of the Taiyuan family at this time, even if they planned to resist.  There is no way to resist the Toe Imakawa family.  He knew the thoughts of the Toe Imagawa family very well. They did not want to suppress the rebellion at all, but they really wanted to take the opportunity to expand their territory.  After the Suruga-Imagawa family was annexed, no one in the Suruga country could stop the expansion of the Suruga-Imagawa family in Suruga.  During the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, preserving the family name was the most important thing.  After figuring it out, the governor of the Taiyuan family abdicated and lived in seclusion, giving up the position of head of the family to his grandson.  Then he sent a general to take his grandson to Sunfu Castle to pay homage to Masarasu.  At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the re-emergence of the Toe-Imagawa family is unstoppable, at least in Tokaido.  "My lord, Geshanshiguang refused to surrender, and even cursed you as a traitor." The second wave of envoys still failed to make Geshanshiguang surrender.  Zheng Liang couldn't help but admire this stubborn old man.  I remember that when the Takeda family invaded Suruga in history, he also refused to surrender.  In the end, Shingen was forced to negotiate, and the city was opened on the condition that everyone in the city be spared.  He himself ran to continue serving Imagawa Uzuma.  "Since the Geshan clan Guangming is stubborn, we will launch an army to attack him soon." Zheng Liang made a decision.  The Katsurayama Castle of the Katsurayama family will become a stepping stone for the Imagawa clan's martial arts.  "Notaro!" "My lord is here!" In addition to the strategy of Katsurayama Castle, Masara has already set his sights on the Izu Country area of ????the Hojo family.  At this time, the Hojo family, the governor of the Hojo family, Hojo Ujiyasu, was killed, and Hojo Ushimasa, the successor designated by Hojo Ujiyasu, was besieged in Edo Castle by the coalition forces of Ta-da and Satomi. Sagami country, which was the headquarters of the Hojo family, once again suffered from Eta-da.  , Nagano led the invasion of the powerful Kanto families. At this time, the Hojo family had no time to take care of the Izu country, which was originally the safest but empty due to the existence of their allies, the Suruga Imagawa family, so Masara naturally took advantage of this opportunity to take a fancy to this place.  .  And this time Masara has recruited Notaro, who was originally a pirate along the Tokaido coast. During the war, he will use the navy to land in the southern part of Izu Country. On the one hand, he will prevent the Hojo family from sending troops to interfere with the Imagawa family's affairs again.  Take the opportunity to prepare for the later attack on Izu Country.  "Is there anything unclear about your mission?" Zhengliang asked.  "I have fully understood, and I promise to make Izu country a state of chaos." Notaro bowed in fear. This was his first time to participate in the review, and becoming a high-ranking samurai seemed not far away.  "I'm not asking you to prevent fires and plunder, but I'm asking you to surrender to the local tycoons over there and attack the Izu country together." Masara said. This navy general couldn't change the pirate's thinking, which gave him a headache. "Forget it, let's go ahead.  I will send you a lieutenant. Oikayoshi, you will serve as the lieutenant in Notar¨­¡¯s navy.¡±Following the surrender of the local wealthy family of the Suruga Imagawa family, he was originally the navy general of the Suruga Imagawa family.  This time, for the attack on the coast of Izu Kingdom, Masara also planned to focus on the local navy originally belonging to the Imagawa family. He used this opportunity to assign some generals from the Luo family navy to these naval forces, and also eliminated them.  Some unstable elements, as for the navy from the Luo family, stayed on the coast of the Imagawa family.  However, with the local navy originally belonging to the Imagawa family as the main force, especially Notaro, a guy with a pirate background, Masara felt uneasy, so he asked Notaro to listen to everything except the battle.  It was Pingyan's kindness that allowed the two of them to retreat and prepare for the expedition.  To attack Geshan Castle, you must pass through Heungdeoksa Castle.  The local wealthy Taiyuan family had surrendered. Zhengliang asked Bai Wuxian and the Taiyuan family's troops as the vanguard to enter Xingde Temple City to mobilize the local wealthy families, and he led the army behind to hold down the battle.  The day before departure, Masarasu led the local wealthy families who had just surrendered to the Toe Imagawa family to the highest castle tower.  Pointing to the large group of soldiers below: "Everyone, what do you think of these soldiers?" The governor of the wealthy families looked along his fingers.  Below, soldiers walked back and forth in groups, numbering more than three thousand.  The arrows were carried into the car in a hurry, and the food was transported into the camp stone by stone.  Especially under the banner of the Imagawa family.  The armies of the Imagawa family in Yuanjiang are still practicing non-stop.  The spears were densely packed.  There are many fingers pointing to the sky.  The shouts of death and the general¡¯s shouts.  From time to time, it is transmitted to the castle tower.  "As expected, he is indeed an elite soldier and a strong general. No wonder the Suruga Imagawa family had no choice but to surrender in the end." When many wealthy families saw such a situation, many of them took out their handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.  They had never seen such a neat queue, and the shouts of killing seemed like they were actually killing people.  Even the fluttering military spirit flag felt dazzling.  After severely frightening the surrendering noble families, on the second day, 3,500 troops set out from Sunfu Castle and began to attack the Higashi Suruga area.  With the help of the Taiyuan family, there was no resistance along the way.  Instead, wealthy people joined in one after another.  When they arrived at the foot of Geshan City, the number of people had increased to 3,077.  Knowing that he was outmatched, Kazuyama clan Hiro led 300 men to defend the city, hoping to wait until the Hojo family or even the Takeda family came to mediate.  In the large tent of the Imagawa family army in Yuanjiang below the city, Masarasu was annoyed when his third attempt to persuade him to surrender was rejected, so he immediately decided: "We will attack the city tomorrow. Narumatsu Nobukatsu and Baiwu Xian will also obey orders." "I'm here." "You guys are here."  The two men will lead their troops, Nobu-Sheng will attack the east side, and Xian-Jian will attack the west side. Whoever captures the city first will get the victory," Zhengliang ordered.  The two of them knelt down to accept their orders.  Everyone wants to win the big prize first.  Hyakutake Kenkan wants to consolidate his position as the No. 1 general of the Tokai Imagawa family, while Narumatsu Nobukatsu wants to obtain the position of the No. 1 general of the Tokai Imagawa family.  On the second day, the two men took the lead and launched an attack on the city.  There are one thousand people under the command of Chengsong Nobusheng, which is two hundred more than Bai Wuxian and Tailiang.  Moreover, the siege tactics of their two armies were modified by Zheng Liang himself yesterday, and they appeared to be very methodical.  Hyakutake Kenji led his team to press the formation, and gave the order to the ashigaru to push the carts of soil forward.  When they walked to the ditch, several Ashigaru shouted and poured the soil into the ditch with all their strength, then went back to add soil and start again.  During this period, the Ohara army used bows and arrows to shoot, but they were all covered by the wooden boards installed on the earth-moving vehicles.  This was the first time that the Toe Imakawa family army used new tactics to attack the city. Everything was done step by step and according to training, and it was really effective. ??????????????????? In less than two hours, the ditch will be filled.  Bai Wuxian issued another order, and his team rolled out three city-climbing vehicles that were more than three meters high and two meters wide, and slowly moved closer to the city wall.  Bai Wuxian and himself followed behind the cart, and the whole army pressed on it.  "The Toe Imagawa family army is well prepared and must have planned it in advance. If I had kerosene, the Toe Imagawa family army would not be so rampant." Katsurayama Shihiro saw the city boarding car coming out and knew that the first city wall was guarded by  Can't stand it anymore.  When the three city-climbing vehicles passed through the trench, the soil they filled was too soft and they sank into the mud.  "Hurry up and lift the cart!" Under the command of Kenkan Momotake, a dozen ashigaru surrounded the cart, holding the gap between the wooden boards with their hands and exerting force upwards.  "One, two, three, hey!" "One, two, three, hey!" The Ashigaru-gumi waved his arms, shouting and commanding his men to use force.  Suddenly, a hail of arrows shot down at the ashigaru around the cart. A few unlucky ones were hit by arrows, and everyone hurriedly hid behind the cart.  "What are you afraid of? Those bows and arrows can't kill anyone." Bai Wuxian whipped his whip and his team of bows and arrows immediately fought back. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????©\?.  "One, two, three, push hard." The cart got up a little, and someone quickly put some sundries under the wheels.  "One, two, three, get up!"   Several bows and arrows hit Bai Wuxianjie, and the arrows got stuck in his muscles. He didn't care and continued to use force.  "One, two, three, get up!" The cart finally leaned against the city wall.  Bai Wuxianjian shouted loudly, pulled out his long sword, and shouted: "Come with me and kill all the little brats of Geshan Shiguang." He took the lead in getting on the city car and jumped onto the city wall.  While observing the performance of Bai Wuxian and his team, Zhengliang said: "The vehicles used to fill the soil can be made larger. The vehicles used to climb the city should be made lighter, and the baffles do not need to be so thick. If the equipment is not complete during the siege, any unit of our army will be defeated.  Do not attack the city. This sentence was added to the Toe Imagawa family's military strategy." Maeda Igen quickly wrote it down.  As Bai Wuxian rushed to the city first, the first wall of Geshan City fell, and Narumatsu Nobukatsu also broke through, and soon the city gate opened.  The two exchanged merits in front of Zheng Liang.  Bai Wuxian was in high spirits and Cheng Songxin seemed thoughtful.  "You are the most virtuous and the best in war, so go down and rest first, and you will be generous with rewards after the war." Zheng Liang praised.  Hyakutake Kenkan snorted at Narumatsu Nobukatsu, and then returned to his seat.  Ever since they were Masara's nicknames, the two of them have been competing with each other, trying to get as many compliments as possible in front of their lord Masara. This time, he was naturally very happy to receive more compliments than Narumatsu Nobukatsu.  of.  "Nobukatsu is not bad, his military exploits should be ranked second. He will also be generous with rewards after the war." "Thank you, my lord." Narumatsu Nobukatsu thanked him first, and then asked Masara for battle advice, "I request that we continue to attack Ninomaru."  "The fighting spirit is commendable. Nobukatsu will lead the troops to rest for a while before going. I will take the Toe Imagawa family to prepare for you." The rice grain accompanying the army was immediately delivered, and food and water were given to the soldiers who had fought to replenish their physical strength.  Masara's main formation also entered the city, and the Imagawa family's flag stood in front of the defenders and behind the siege soldiers.  Nobukatsu Narumatsu looked back at the banner and felt that there was no way to retreat, so he ordered his soldiers to attack it fiercely.  The defenders also rose up to resist, and the first wave of attacks was defeated.  The soldiers retreated in a chaotic manner, and all stopped automatically when they reached the flag.  After reorganizing the second wave of attacks, this wave still failed to achieve success.  Nobukatsu Narumatsu bit his lip and glanced at the banner and Zhengliang under the banner.  He made up his mind, called his generals, and shouted: "If we still can't defeat, I will die here." "Let's charge again, if it doesn't work, we will die there." The generals under his command were also determined.  The surrounding subordinates listened to the generals' words and turned around in silence to attack again.  The third wave of attacks, under the desperate attack of several generals, finally broke through the city wall and drove Katsurayama Shihiro to Honmaru.  "My lord, I have fulfilled my mission." Nobukatsu Narumatsu and others knelt in front of Zhengliang. Blood was still dripping from their wounds, but their aura became more powerful.  Masara respects these retainers more and more: "Your bravery is impressive. After this battle, you and others will be famous for your bravery." As the last remaining honmaru in Katsurayama Castle, Masara sent Toe Imagawa Kabei.  Facing a tighter organization, better equipment, and better skills.  With a loud bang, the wall surrounding Honmaru was knocked down.  Seeing that there was no hope of survival, the Kazuyama clan committed suicide in the castle tower.  "My lord, may I ask how to deal with the prisoners." The retainer asked for instructions.  "All the male members of the rebel warriors' families were killed, and the remaining family members were sent to the salt farm as slaves." Zhengliang's eyes were as dark as night.  In future battles, the enemy will defend like Katsuragi Hiroshi, and I don¡¯t know how many years of fighting will be needed to achieve the goal.  It is better to use cruel means to establish a bad name now and pave the way for the future.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
