I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Ogata looked at Genichi on the opposite side, and smiled.

"You want to save someone from Toyotomi."

"But I want to save people from the Toyotomi family and settle accounts with the Toyotomi family."

"So let us form an alliance again."

"It's like how we worked together to deal with Shiranui last year."

"This time, we will work together to deal with Toyotomi."

Genichi seemed not surprised by Ogata's remarks just now, his expression was normal.

After seeing him smile freely, he gave a candid reply that was quite in line with his straightforward temperament:

"Okay."

"To have Ogata-kun's help, we can only wish for it."

"But Ogata-kun, you made a mistake just now."

The smile on Yuanyi's face slowly disappeared.

"We don't just want to snatch Xiaolin back."

"If there is a chance, we also want to teach that bastard Xinxiu a lesson."

"If you have a favor, you must pay it back, if you have a grudge, you must avenge it. This is the style of our gourd house."

"We never do this kind of thing when we suffer a loss but swallow our anger."

"Ogata-kun, you said just now that you wanted to express your opinion. Now, please express your opinion quickly, and we will all listen."

Ogata nodded, then said slowly:

"Now, even if the right-hand man opens his mouth and tells us that he is willing to tell us everything he knows, we can't just believe what he said."

"After all, he is Toyotomi Nobuhide's confidant."

"Who knows if he will deliberately make up a lot of lies in order to confuse us or frame us."

"At this stage, we have captured a sufficiently high-level character, only the left and right guards."

"It is impossible to cross-check the information given by other high-ranking personnel, and it is difficult to falsify the information given by the left and right gates."

"Now we, if we step by step to pry the information from the left and right gates, and then falsify every piece of information he said, it will take too much time."

"I personally think that it is not suitable for us who are in a hurry now to pry information from the left and right gates slowly."

"Everyone"

Ogata raised his eyes and looked around at the people around him.

"I have a plan now, I wonder if you would like to hear it."

"I would like to hear the details." Yuan Yi said first without thinking.

After Yuan Yi finished speaking, the rest of the people nodded in agreement.

"It may be more convenient to explain my plan with the map of Koyasan."

Having said that, Ogata turned to look at Isshika.

"Miss Isshiki. Excuse me, can you please draw a map of Koyasan now?"

"Now?" Yishihua was surprised.

"That's right, now." Ogata looked around, "Is there any pen and paper in this temple?"

"This temple is so big, if you look for it, you should be able to find a pen and paper." Jian Gong replied.

Ogata and others worked together to search all over the temple, and finally found a small stack of rice paper, as well as a brush, ink and inkstone in the room where the abbot of the temple probably lived.

Of course, Ogata and the others did not take or use things from this temple for nothing.

As we all know, the minimum amount of funds used by Calabash House is a large penalty.

When taking away the Four Treasures of the Study, Jian Gong conveniently placed a piece of gold in the place where the Four Treasures of the Study had been placed.

"I'm not very good at drawing, I don't know if I can draw a map well"

"It's okay." Ogata encouraged, "Just paint as much as you can."

With Ogata's encouragement, Isshiki took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves, and bowed her head.

"If you want to enter Koyasan, you must first go to Koya Town, which is the most convenient way to enter Koyasan."

"The road from Koya Town to Koyasan looks like this"

While drawing, Isshiki explained and introduced in detail to Ogata and others who were watching carefully around the table.

After about 2 sticks of incense, a map that was a bit ugly but unexpectedly rich in content was presented in front of everyone.

"Sorry." Isshiki lowered her head slightly with shame on her face, "I didn't draw well."

"No." Ogata shook his head, "Miss Isshiki, your drawing is much better than I expected."

"A lot of the things we want to know are marked on this map."

After all, Ogata pointed at a large blank area on the map:

"Miss Isshiki, where is Koyasan? Why is there nothing here?"

"We have always referred to this area as the Back Mountain." Isshiki replied, "The temples of Koyasan are basically concentrated in the front mountain, and there is almost nothing in the back mountain, neither temples nor roads, so there is nothing here. No."

As soon as Isshika said this, Ogata and the others fell silent immediately.

After a while, Mamiya whispered:

"The stronghold of the Toyotomi Clan is most likely built in the back of Koyasan."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded lightly, "I think so too."

Compared to the front mountain where the temples are concentrated and the traffic is dense, the back mountain is obviously only visited by birds and beasts, and it is more suitable for use as a "secret base".

"But the question is exactly where the Toyotomi clan's strongholds are located in the back mountain." Asai pouted, "Even if the search range is narrowed to a corner of the back mountain of Koyasan, the range is still very large."

"That's not a problem." Ogata said quickly, "If the plan I just thought of can be successful, I should be able to find the stronghold of the Toyotomi Clan on Mount Koya."

Ogata's words, as expected, attracted the attention of everyone present.

And Ogata didn’t hold back. After Isshika helped draw the map, he immediately bowed his head in front of the map and talked eloquently:

"The Toyotomi army in Osaka has been defeated by us. Koyasan is the largest stronghold of the Toyotomi in Japan, and it is also close to Osaka. It is only a matter of time before Koyasan receives the battle situation from Osaka."

"If time drags on, Koyasan will know the situation in Osaka, and then take corresponding defensive measures."

"So why don't we launch a lightning fast attack on Koyasan immediately!"

"Because Koyasan still doesn't know the current situation of Osaka or it's too late to start a defense, Koyasan is caught off guard."

"Now find a carriage with enough space for two carriages, and drive to Koyasan non-stop day and night."

"The straight-line distance from Osaka to Koyasan is more than 10 miles, or about 50 kilometers in modern times."

"Although the speed of the carriage is slow, if we drive around day and night, we should be able to reach Mount Koya before noon tomorrow."

"Those who can drive take turns driving, and those who don't drive sleep in the carriage behind the carriage."

"After Arriving at Koyasan"

Ogata stretched out his right index finger and clicked on the location of "Xianyuan Temple" marked on the map.

"Currently we know that the Toyotomi family's stronghold on Koyasan is only Sengenji Temple."

"Let me attack Koyasan head-on and attract the Toyotomi clan's troops to attack."

"Master Yuan and you, just follow the trails on the map and sneak into the back mountain."

Ogata's fingers moved slowly on the map, and moved to the large blank area on the map.

"The Toyotomi clan sent a large army to conquer me, and the mountain will be quite lively then."

"In this way, the opportunity to find the stronghold built by the Toyotomi clan on Mount Koya will come."

"After leading the snake out of the hole, follow the direction the snake came out to find the hole where the snake hides."

"Master Yuan, you follow the place and direction where the Toyotomi clan's tribe appeared in the back mountain, and find the Toyotomi clan's stronghold."

"And after I attract the Toyotomi clan to attack, I will defeat the incoming Toyotomi army as soon as possible, and then come to join you."

When Ogata was talking about his plan, Yuanichi and the others listened very carefully.

After his voice fell, the first person to speak out was Jian Gong.

"Woodpecker tactics?" He said in a deep voice.

In the Warring States Period more than 200 years ago, two extremely powerful princes, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, were born.

Both of these two princes gave birth to a hero at the same time: Takeda Shingen, known as the "Tiger of Kai", and Uesugi Kenshin, known as the "Dragon of Echigo".

Innumerable battles broke out between the two heroes who were bright for a while, fighting for territory, especially in a certain place called "Chuanzhong Island", where the two heroes fought five large-scale battles back and forth.

In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, Takeda Shingen adopted the advice of military adviser Yamamoto Kansuke and implemented the famous "woodpecker tactics".

Although the name is fancy, its essence is "to wait for work with ease".

Divide the army into two parts: the main team and the surprise team.

The team is used to attract the attention of the enemy, and the surprise attack team goes around the enemy's rear, using surprise attacks or assaults and other combat methods, to drive the enemy out of the defensive position and rush to our team to ambush or wait in advance. place, and then the two teams flanked the enemy back and forth.

There are many variants of this woodpecker tactics.

There is a kind of woodpecker tactics, that is, instead of the surprise attack team forcing the enemy's main force out of the defensive position, the own team will force the enemy's main force out of the defensive position, and then the surprise attack team will launch a surprise attack, attacking the enemy back and forth with the own team. A kind of woodpecker warfare method is very similar to his plan that Ogata mentioned just now, so Gu Magong would call it "woodpecker warfare method".

"Ogata-kun, I understand what you mean." Genichi said, "Ogata-kun, this plan of yours is quite suitable for us who are so blind to Koya-san."

"But I have a question"

Yuan Yi looked at Ogata slowly and seriously.

"You're putting yourself on the rather dangerous side of this plan of yours."

"If the part of the plan to attack Koyasan head-on and attract the attention of the Toyotomi Clan is successful, countless Toyotomi Clan members will come to kill you."

"And that's not the worst part."

"The most troublesome thing is afterward."

"You are in charge of the frontal attack, and the person who is most likely to bear the infamy of Buddhism is you."

"Do you still want to carry out your plan even though there are so many dangers and troubles?"

"Of course." As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Ooyoung said without hesitation, "The key to the success of the plan I just mentioned lies in whether the people lurking in the back mountain can accurately detect the Toyotomi family. to find and take down the stronghold of the Toyotomi Clan.”

"It's a little bit of a test of luck."

"Therefore, in order to ensure success as much as possible, the number of people responsible for lurking in the back mountain must be as large as possible, and their strength must be as strong as possible."

"There should be as many people lurking in the back mountain as possible, so that there should be as few people as possible who are responsible for the frontal attack to attract attention."

"Attract the attention of the Toyotomi family with as few people as possible, and at the same time, the side responsible for the frontal assault must have a way to withstand the siege of the army sent by the Toyotomi family. In this way, the most suitable for this task, If it's not me."

"As far as I am now, even if the Toyotomi clan from all Koyasan comes to attack, I still have the confidence to protect myself, and even join them as an army."

"If I am the only one who attracts the Toyotomi family's attention, then everyone else will be able to devote themselves to the reconnaissance of the back mountain."

"Master Yuan, I know all about the troubles and dangers you just mentioned."

Ogata paused, then smiled, and said in a flat tone:

"But these so-called troubles and dangers are nothing to me."

"I'm already an enemy."

"Whether there are more titles of Buddha Enemies, to me, it doesn't matter at all."

"Anyway, I'm already in a state where it's hard to show my true colors to others, and I'm not afraid of my reputation getting worse."

"Don't worry about me."

"I came up with this plan after careful consideration of my situation and the troubles I might encounter in the future."

Genichi watched Ogata's expression and eyes seriously.

After a while, Yuan Yi let out a silent sigh.

"It seems that you have indeed made up your mind."
