Sanada Masayuki blinked his eyes, almost not believing the incredible words coming out of Liu Shiba's mouth.
Cutting off the head of a killed enemy is, for a soldier or general, an affirmation of one's own bravery, but for the enemy, isn't it a great honor?
However, there are also some moral opinions. Beheading is a custom in Japan, but after the marriage and praise, there is usually a grand funeral.
The practice of piling up things into a landscape is too cruel, and especially loses the moral spirit...
Sanada Masayuki’s concerns cannot be explained, they are unreasonable!
It would definitely not be a good thing to see if the excessively brutal rule aroused the determination of all the surrounding peasants, workers, landowners, small lords and even big lords to resist.
Ba Chang Xinfang frowned, trying to figure out Liu Shiba's intention:
"My lord, what do you mean, the landscape of piled human heads is used to intimidate the surrounding local people who dare to resist the rule of the Takeda family?"
"hehe!"
Liu Shiba nodded and agreed:
"That's right! But Lord Nobuka is only half right... the more important meaning is to shock the other five Tokugawa-controlled cities around Noda Castle. It is best to win without a fight."
"Victory without fighting?"
Baba Nobuka and Sanada Masayuki's eyes widened, a little unbelievable.
The Takeda Army, in turn, secretly invaded the Tokugawa territory this time, and violated common sense and massacred the population of Noda Castle. They have already reported cold weather. The most correct thing to do is to withdraw the army and plundered finances back to Kofu, the Takeda territory...
Tokugawa Ieyasu, the main force marching to the Takeda border not far from Takaten Castle, will definitely return with his army to deal with the aftermath after receiving the battle report that Noda Castle has been captured, and the crisis will naturally be resolved.
So in this war, not to mention the wealth plundered from Noda Castle, the Takeda family has already made enough money.
Worth it...
"How can the Takeda family squander such a small profit?"
Liu Shiba's face became serious and he showed a ferocious smile.
All the retainers were stunned at the same time...
This new family governor is not satisfied with such a "petty profit"?
What Liu Shiba just said is that he still wants to scare the five surrounding cities?
Futamata Castle, Hamamatsu Castle, Furumiya Castle, Yoshida Castle, Nagato Castle...
Every city, according to the evaluation of the veterans and generals involved in the Takeda family, will not be weaker than Noda Castle...
Never forget an important fact - the main force of the Takeda family only has 1,600 people.
"Katsuyori, I'll leave the rest to you!"
Liu Shiba urged his horse and turned around, looking at Takeda Katsuyori who was in deep thought.
"ha!"
Katsuyori respectfully accepts the order!
This time, Takeda Katsuyori was taught a good lesson. After seeing the miracle of Noda's offensive and defensive battle with his own eyes, he had long ago abandoned the idea of sticking to old rules.
"My lord."
Takeda Katsuyori, sitting respectfully on his horse, bowed deeply to Liu Shiba, and said sincerely:
"In the beginning, my ambition was as high as the sky. I thought that my military skills were as good as those of my father, and it would be easy to serve as the general in a battle.
But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I feel very ashamed, so I sincerely ask the lord to take back my appointment as general. It would be better for you to personally command the Takeda Army."
"Huh? No need. The general is the soul of an army. How can he change his orders overnight? Don't mention it again..."
Liu Shiba calmly rejected Katsuyori's proposal.
But in Liu Shiba's heart, he didn't mean to refuse seriously. This was not a joke. How could he have time to take these 1,600 people to Mushrooms?
Because he has more important things to do.
This Noda Castle is not simple...
The single Noda Castle looked like nothing at first glance, but at this moment, beacon fires were burning in the sky above the five surrounding cities of Noda Castle. This scene made Liu Shiba suddenly think of something in his heart.
Surrounded by the five elements, the star of the town!
There is something weird in Noda Castle or its surroundings!
Others, including Li Ergou and Cuihua, may not be able to see the mystery, not even the veteran driver, let alone Meng Tianfang...
