Chapter 1350: Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, life and death puzzle
"Nobufusa-sama, you are so handsome..."
Liu Shiba looked at the machang Xinfang who was holding a knife and staring at Meng Tianfang, laughed and praised, then waved to Meng Tianfang and said:
"Tian Fang, step aside for now! Mr. Nobufusa Baba has no ill intentions! What he is talking about is the real dilemma in the army.
If the territory does not forcefully requisition a batch of materials and military rations, the Takeda family's troops stationed in the five cities will indeed not survive for a few days!"
"yes!"
Meng Tianfang stopped when he heard this and hesitated:
"But my lord, he has murderous intentions..."
"I know! If this happened to me, I would also want to kill myself!
Lord Shingen overcame all obstacles and handed over the Takeda family to me before he died. However, when the war came, I, out of kindness as a woman, refused to levy war taxes and planned to wait for death.
As long as you are a veteran loyal to the Takeda family, it would be strange if you don't want to kill me."
Liu Shiba smiled and explained a few words to Meng Tianfang.
After saying that, Liu Shiba turned to look at the racecourse Xinfang, grinned and said:
"What a pity! The one who led the Takeda family in fighting this battle was not Mr. Nobfusa, nor me...
As the saying goes, you don't have to trust people who you doubt. Since you have chosen to believe in Mouri Katsunaga, you should believe in him unconditionally.
Since Maori Katsunaga did not send anyone to Cui Liang, it proves that everything is still under his control."
Baba Nobufang looked at Liu Shiba in surprise, put the sword back on his waist, and sighed:
"Don't blame my subordinates for being anxious. The army has been out for nearly ten days, and the five groups of people together only brought a small amount of food. They should have eaten it long ago. Is Mouri Katsunaga a fool?"
"No! He's not stupid. What he brought is rice and wheat. If it's made into dough, it's definitely not enough, but if it's made into steamed buns, porridge or something, then maybe..."
Liu Shiba rolled his eyes and used the stupidest method to explain to the machang Xinfang.
"It's okay! Nobubo-sama and Nizi-sama should go back first and have a good rest at night!"
When he lowered his head, Liu Shiba saw the gossamer-faced Ideura Morikiyo, still lying on the ground like a dead person.
"Since my lord is confident! Then I will retire first."
Baba Nobuka bowed and walked out of the hall with his head held high.
"My lord! I will also go to patrol the city first. There are three thousand more cavalry in the city and we need manpower."
After a long while, Nizi saw that the most important minister, Machang Xinfang, had left. If he stayed here and was scolded, wouldn't he be asking for it?
So Nizi saluted Liu Shiba for a long time, intending to fool him and escape.
"Stop! The three hundred soldiers of the Noda Castle garrison are all the soldiers who survived the last time Noda Castle fought against Tokugawa Ieyasu, right?"
After hearing Nizi mention it for a long time, Liu Shiba remembered that Noda Castle had 3,000 more reinforcements.
"Ha! Exactly."
Ni Zi stopped for a long time and looked at Liu Shiba eagerly.
Liu Shiba narrowed his eyes and chuckled:
"Disperse these three hundred people and organize them into three thousand troops. Let them be the leader of the ashigaru group. Each leader of the banner group will have ten ashigaru."
"ha!"
Nizi trembled for a long time and responded quickly:
"Subordinate, go and break up the formation immediately."
After saying that, Ni Zijiu quickly ran backwards and out of the hall...
"Stop! Are you rushing to reincarnate? I haven't finished speaking yet."
Liu Shiba stared at this poor guy with a smile. In the next few years, his whole family would be wiped out, and he would eventually die on the battlefield.
"Nani? Reincarnation - Lord, are you talking about the afterlife and going to see Amaterasu?"
Nizi's face was puzzled for a long time, but his eyebrows were full of joy.
He had even guessed what was wrong with Liu Shiba calling him to stop him!
"Since Meng Tianfang has to take on the task of guarding the city lord's palace and will accompany me on a long trip in the future, he will not be able to command these three thousand people.
Then, as General Noda Castle, you, Nizi, will temporarily act as your deputy and be responsible for commanding these three thousand soldiers. From today on, you must protect this city well.
The barbican of Noda Castle is the last line of defense of the Takeda family. People in the city are destroyed and people are destroyed...
Holding this place is equivalent to holding the only road to Kai. You have a heavy responsibility, please."
Liu Shiba raised his hand and gently patted Nizi Jiujiu's shoulder as he spoke.
"Poof!"
Ni Zi listened for a long time, knelt down, kowtowed to Liu Shiba solemnly, and said in sincerity:
"Ha... Thanks to your lord's trust, I am the only one who has the most important responsibility! I will work hard to protect Noda Castle for my lord."
"Very good! Please get up quickly..."
Liu Shiba nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand to pick up Ni Zi, and whispered in his ear:
"The duty of city guard is of great importance! Especially when the army returns to the city, you must remember that even the Sixth Route Army sent by the Takeda family cannot be fully trusted..."
"Nani?"
Nizi's eyes widened for a long time, staring deeply at Liu Shiba, full of confusion.
"Nothing! Just remember to ask for more confirmations when sending troops into the city. If it is unreasonable, it is worthy of suspicion.
Likewise, merchants, farmers, and idle wanderers who enter the city must also be so vigilant to prevent internal and external attacks! You can take care of the rest by yourself, go ahead..."
Liu Shiba once again warned Nizi for a long time.
"Ha! Your Majesty, please retire."
Nizi turned his back to the door for a long time and slowly exited.
Seeing that there were really no outsiders in the hall, Liu Shiba turned back to look at Meng Tianfang and said seriously:
"I ordered Qin Liu to lead his personal guards to guard here. No one is allowed to approach the castle tower without authorization."
Meng Tianfang nodded, turned around and shouted:
"Qin Liu..."
……………………
After all the trivial matters were arranged, Liu Shiba held the little black dog in one hand and supported Meng Tianfang, who was carrying Pu Shengqing on his back, and the three of them slowly walked upstairs...
When they arrived at the castle tower, Meng Tianfang put down the dying Ideura Morikiyo and said strangely:
"My lord! I just wanted to say something while carrying Deura Morikiyo-sama on his back..."
"Huh? You want to say that Ideura Morikiyo was too seriously injured and can't be saved, right?"
Liu Shiba smiled slightly, with a mysterious look on his lips.
Meng Tianfang was startled, stared at Liu Shiba, grinned, and changed his words:
"Lord! Now I suddenly feel that this guy Deura Morikiyo will definitely live a long life..."
"That's right! As long as a person who works hard for us has a little hope, we can't watch him die."
Liu Shiba nodded slowly, then put his hand into his arms and groped for a long time.
When he took it out, there was a white pill in Liu Shiba's hand...
"ah?"
Meng Tianfang's pupils dilated and turned pale with surprise.
"Um?"
Liu Shiba smiled sideways.
"Subordinate - I have eaten it!"
Meng Tianfang was shaking as he spoke, showing the huge fluctuations in his heart.
"That's right! All the forty-six of your subordinates have eaten. Then it's not surprising that you know each other."
Liu Shiba smiled faintly, with a strange and evil smile showing at the corner of his mouth.
Meng Tianfang gritted his teeth and said slowly:
"This is a first-level gene enhancement potion, with a 20% enhancement failure rate!
It can double the physical strength of ordinary people, double the burst speed, and triple the vision..."
After saying that, Meng Tianfang added something he still wanted to say and sighed:
