Chapter 1198: Suspects don't need to draw cakes to satisfy their hunger
All the veterans and generals of the Takeda family looked at Takeda Katsuyori with confusion, and then looked at Liu Shiba, the new family governor, with strange eyes!
"I think adding six words to your suggestion would be the best solution!"
Liu *** touched his nose, looked around and chuckled.
The generals and retainers of the Takeda family looked at each other and then looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Baba Nobuka, representing the retainers and Katsuyori, asked unwillingly:
"Want to hear the details..."
A ferocious look flashed in Liu Shiba's eyes, and he slowly explained word by word:
"Kill them all--rob them all--burn them all! Everyone, please remember the four-character mantra of Lord Shingen Fubayashi Kazuya, as well as the meaning represented by the Takeda family's military flag."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at the same time, with fear in their eyes. After a long time, they all worshiped in unison:
"My lord is wise..."
Baba Nobuka tilted his head and looked thoughtful, then smiled. Apparently he was the first to understand the cruelty and wisdom in Liu Shiba's words, and he raised his voice and added:
"In this way, the Tokugawa Territory can be secured in one day! All resistance will be defeated in the Tokugawa Territory today!"
Takeda Katsuyori was obviously stunned by the cruel strategic idea proposed by Liu Shiba, and was speechless for a while...
Liu Shiba turned his attention to Takeda Katsuyori and said loudly:
"In addition to Baba Nobuka being the commander-in-chief of the Takeda Army, this counterattack against the Tokugawa-Oda coalition will be led by Takeda Katsuyori."
Takeda Katsuyori obviously did not expect this. He was stunned when he heard this, pointed to his nose and said in surprise:
"I……"
"That's right! It's you. As the legitimate son of Duke Shingen, I believe you have the ability to fight this battle according to my method.
Besides, how can I take away everything that should be yours? Even if I am the current family governor, I will give you a chance to become famous..."
Liu Shiba smiled faintly, showing his broad mind!
What Liu Shiba didn't know was that after saying these words, about half of the military generals and retainers of the Takeda family who were worshiping around him quietly let go of their hands from the handle of the knife, leaving only a sigh in their hearts...
"ha!"
Takeda Katsuyori stayed for a long time, finally knelt down on one knee and shouted cautiously:
"As long as everything is for the sake of the Takeda family, Katsuyori dares to disobey!"
Liu Shiba nodded and said loudly:
"Takeda Katsuyori is the general-in-chief of this battle. The former territorial city, Takato Castle, remains under the name of Katsuyori."
"Ha! I'm so grateful!"
Takeda Katsuyori prostrated himself prostrate to the ground again.
This time, he was truly convinced!
………………
Just when Liu Shiba and a group of retainers were reviewing and discussing the formation, Li Ergou's voice came from outside the tent:
"Tang Chen will repay the Lord with a first-class reward! Dinner will start in half an hour, and the whole army is ready to eat steamed buns, drink hot soup, and have a full meal..."
"Income."
Liu Shiba looked at the group of old military generals of the Takeda family who were sitting on the left and right, staring intently, and nodded to the grateful Sanada Yukimura.
"Pass Honda's second dog, gain the account!"
Sanada Yukimura shouted loudly.
Seeing Li Ergou running into the tent with a smile on his face, and the bean curd on his mouth that had not yet been wiped clean, Liu Shiba couldn't help his throat swelling with stomach acid, and he said angrily:
"Why did you eat it first?"
"Don't worry, boss. I'm going to spoon a bowl of soy milk first to try to overcome my hunger and try the skills of an experienced driver..."
Li Ergou hurriedly explained, another bubble of foam appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Liu Shiba was no longer angry now and hurriedly asked:
"How's the craftsmanship? Can you eat it..."
Li Ergou looked around strangely and winked...
Liu Shiba was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the retainers and generals of the Takeda family could not understand Chinese at all...
All around, deathly silence...
Liu Shiba winked hurriedly and said:
"Use Japanese."
Li Ergou hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said loudly:
"Ha! Report to the lord, in half an hour, the whole army will have dinner!"
Liu Shiba nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Sigh!"
Then, Liu Shiba nodded and smiled at the stunned group of retainers and generals around him:
"Everyone, please go down first to assemble your respective retainers and the armies of your respective cities.
Half an hour later, the entire Takeda family gathered for dinner, and after a hearty meal, they attacked the Tokugawa and Oda coalition forces."
All the military generals and retainers of the Takeda family looked at each other and responded in unison:
"ha!"
At the same time, the hearts of these retainers and generals were full of collapse. They felt that the new lord was crazy...
Does he plan to let us go and fight the northwest wind?
The Ashigaru people don't know how much food there is in the army, and the auxiliary soldiers don't know it. Don't they, the important ministers who have access to the palace, don't know it either?
Seeing the veterans and generals of the Takeda family disperse, Li Ergou jumped up, ran to Liu Shiba and said with a smile:
"The old driver said that when dinner is served, soldiers and generals have to eat separately, and he wants to give you a surprise..."
Liu Shiba said in surprise:
"What surprise?"
Li Ergou grinned and said:
"I don't know either..."
Liu Shiba's face suddenly turned pale, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile:
"What surprises are there these days? Having enough food is the greatest happiness.
I feel like I've been hungry for a long time and I almost don't have the energy to speak. It's not easy to hold on until now..."
Li Ergou nodded in agreement and remained silent...
These days, actually being alive is the greatest happiness...
……………………
Japan during the Warring States Period could be said to be almost a primitive land that had not yet been civilized. For Liu Shiba and his entourage from later generations, it was definitely a huge treasure.
The veteran driver, Tomson, dutifully led a dozen auxiliary soldiers from the Takeda Army who were almost dizzy from hunger, holding torches and searching for his treasure in remote woods and ditches in the wilderness all night long.
In the grass beside the woods, there are handfuls of thin wild onions, which form a pile when pulled. This is a delicious must-have for seasoning pasta. Apply it to the dough and knead it with salt flowers...
Green onions can also be used to make some other fried foods. The fragrant chopped green onions are embellished with them. Just thinking about it makes your mouth water...
"You're lucky! There are also wild peppercorns here, so they will definitely be fine for seasoning."
The old driver reached out and pulled off a handful from a dwarf wild pepper tree, put it in his mouth and chewed it with a smile.
……………………
The veteran driver led people outside to look for ingredients, while in the auxiliary camp, dozens of clever guys were busy kneading the dough.
There were also several powerful auxiliary soldiers who also followed the instructions of the old driver and slaughtered two war horses that had been injured in the previous battle and could not recover.
Use a samurai sword to chop the horse meat into large and small pieces of meat that can be eaten in the pot. This scene made the women guarding here dumbfounded...
After a war horse dies, it is usually buried. What are they going to do?
……………………
Half an hour passed quickly...
"Lord! Mr. Tomson said that we can serve dinner..."
Liu Shiba laughed and asked loudly outside the check room:
"Everyone, have the troops gathered together? How about you follow me and try out Tomson's first-grade craftsmanship?"
The Bachang Xinfang stepped in with a solemn expression and said doubtfully:
"Lord! Two thousand combatable soldiers and one thousand auxiliary soldiers have all been assembled outside the big tent where the military supplies are!
But my lord, are you sure you are not giving the Ashigaru people a cake to satisfy their hunger..."
……………………………………………………
Later, there will be continuous updates!
Liu Shiba explains the reason for the lack of updates in the past two days! My wife testified that I slept at home for two days and was in unspeakable pain due to headache and back pain. Let’s stop here...
