Chapter 973: The battle of the mind comes first

Ichiro Oda was a very smart guy, and he guessed Emperor Kogoku's intentions at a glance.

Emperor Kogi wanted the Tang army to fight his own army. The best thing was to let Oda Ichiro defeat the Tang army. Then he sent troops to defeat Oda Ichiro. Not only could he recover the three cities, but he could also solve the problem of sending the city to Li Feng.

question.

This is simply a great thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, all this was seen through by Ichiro Oda, so he directly led an army to attack another city, namely Sakata Castle.

It was said that they were attacking Sakata Castle, but in fact they were luring the enemy out of the city. When Sakata Castle led the army out of the city to pursue Ichiro Oda's army.

Oda Ichiro led the army to hide in Tsuruta Castle, but before the battle, Oda Ichiro led the army to retreat again.

Ichiro Sakata successfully captured Tsuruta Castle without knowing it.

Immediately afterwards, Oda Ichiro also gave away Shikoku Castle. Once the two cities were given away, he felt much more at ease.

Oda Ichiro felt relieved, but Emperor Kogoku became worried. He did not want these two cities for the time being.

He wanted to scold Sakata for being a fool, but he couldn't because the other party played a huge role in helping him win two cities.

Emperor Kogi could only scold Sakata harshly behind his back, but publicly rewarded him greatly.

Just yesterday, Oda Ichiro received news from the scouts that Shikoku Castle had been occupied by the Tang army. He knew that his plan was successful, so he was in a good mood all day yesterday.

But this mood only lasted for one day. Today, the people who monitored Shikoku Castle came back to report that the Tang army divided into two groups, one going to Tsuruta Castle and the other to his Oda Castle.

This made Oda Ichiro's originally happy mood suddenly sink, and he said angrily: "Asshole, I haven't gone to find you yet, but you actually came to the door yourself. Okay, I'll let you go and never come back."

So he summoned his capable men to discuss countermeasures.

"Brothers, we have just received accurate news that the Tang Army has sent a large army towards Oda Castle. What do you think we should do?" Ichiro Oda said in a deep voice.

Oda Kichi sitting on the left said: "Brother, how many people are here?"

"It is estimated that there are a thousand people." Oda Ichiro said.

"Haha..." A big man sitting on the right led by laughed, "City Lord, are you kidding me? A thousand people want to attack Oda Castle. Could it be that the Tang army is crazy?"

"Ono, you are underestimating Tang Jun. If Tang Jun was useless, Emperor Kogi would not be so worried."

Ono's full name is Kingo Ono, and he is Oda Ichiro's right-hand man. He has the most powerful force in Oda City. Apart from Oda Ichiro, he is the strongest.

However, he is simply the kind of person with a simple mind and well-developed limbs who gets sleepy whenever he uses his brain.

After hearing what Oda Ichiro said, Ono said dissatisfiedly: "City Lord, it's not like you don't know that I don't like to use my brain."

Oda Ichiro glanced at Ono angrily and said, "Qizhi, what do you think?"

Oda Kichi thought for a while and said: "Brother, we can't confront the Tang army head-on. Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory."

Ichiro Oda nodded and said: "I also guessed this. The Tang army defeated the Turkic army, which is known as the strongest army. Even if they are small in number, we cannot underestimate them."

"That's right, I'm even worried that they will send out soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles. In this way, our numerical advantage will be much smaller." Oda Kichi said.

Oda Kichiro is Oda Ichiro's younger brother and Oda Ichiro's military advisor. Apart from Oda Ichiro, he has the most power.

At this time, he learned that the Tang army only sent a thousand people to Oda Castle, which made him very worried.

He is not afraid of large numbers of people. The more people there are, it means that the Tang army has an inexplicable taboo against Oda Castle. The fewer people there are, the more it means that the other party has support. It can be said that they look down on Oda Castle at all.

At this moment, a soldier came to the city lord's mansion.

"Informing the city lord, an army has arrived outside the city. The leader is a woman. She wants to see the city lord."

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Oda Ichiro in confusion.

Oda Ichiro said solemnly: "Let's go and take a look."

"yes."

…

Oda Ichiro and others came to the city wall and were secretly shocked when they saw the Tang army under the city in order and with high morale.

Seeing a group of people on the wall, Hong Fu Nu took a step forward and looked up at them: "Who among you is Ichiro Oda?"

"I just don't know how to call a female general?" Ichiro Oda admitted directly.

Hong Fu said: "I am not a female general, I am just the mother of the Generalissimo. I came to Fuso this time to get the three cities of Ichiro Oda. I don't want to see bloody scenes.

Therefore, I hope you can open the city gate and surrender, and you will become the subjects of the Tang Dynasty from now on."

Immediately afterwards, the girl Hong Fu waved her hand, and ten hot air balloons slowly flew towards Oda Castle.

After hearing this, everyone on the city wall was all angry. They all looked at the Tang army below the city angrily, especially Hong Fu Nu.

However, when they saw the ten hot air balloons in the sky, they all opened their mouths in shock.

Immediately afterwards, they saw leaflets flying down from the hot air balloon.

"What is that? Come and get it for me." Oda Ichiro said.

"Yes, City Lord." Soldiers immediately went to pick up the leaflets.

The contents of the flyers were the same as those in Tsuruta Castle. After Li Feng wrote them out, he had tens of thousands of copies copied and was directly brought over by Li Derjian.

In Li Feng's words, this is a strategy to attack the heart.

As long as everyone wants to have such generous conditions, I can implement such a policy, and so can you. The premise is that once you implement it, you will offend more people, and it will be difficult for you to be the city leader.

If you cannot implement this policy, then the people below you will turn against you, which will be very detrimental to you.

"Brother, what on earth does Datang want to do?" Oda asked in confusion after reading the flyer.

Oda Ichiro said with a gloomy face: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: attacking the heart is the top priority, attacking the city is the bottom priority, fighting the heart is the top priority, and fighting the army is the bottom priority.

They want to win without a fight, and they want to make us surrender with these pieces of paper."

"They are simply dreaming." Ono roared angrily.

"Ono, please calm down." Oda Ichiro said solemnly, "Now the people in the city have read the contents on these papers."

"So what, do they still dare to rebel against us?" Ono roared directly.

"Shut up, read what's on the paper first before you speak." Ichiro Oda shouted angrily.

He handed the flyer in his hand to Ono.

Oda Kichi said slowly: "If everyone has seen it, then we have already lost half of this war."
