"My lord, there must be a fraud here," Hirohiro Hiroshino immediately realized something was wrong after hearing it. "I have seen this child Takenaka Shigeji, who has been smart since childhood and has made a surprise plan. The previous ambush on ten sides of the world was Oda Nobunaga, which was set up by him. This time he only brought seventeen people into Inabayama Castle, so he must have other intentions! The lord either refused him to enter or took him down on the spot!"

"No." However, Saito Ryuki refused firmly, "Give him the arrows and seals, and let him enter the city!"

"Master? What are you doing?" Zhu Yaoyao Shiguang protested in dissatisfaction, "You are bringing a wolf into the house!"

"Don't you realize it yet?" Saito Ryuki turned his head and looked at his two elders: "Why did Ando Mori send Takenaka Shigeji into the city?"

"Because they want to take action at this moment! They want to take back control of Inayayama Castle," Saito Ryuki sneered and slapped the table angrily, "But they dare not! They are afraid that we will have ambush in the city, and are afraid that we will be ambushed in our city, so they sent Takenaka Shigeji to come in to see the truth!"

"If we refuse Takenaka Shigeji to enter the city with such reasonable requests at this moment, wouldn't it be clear that there is a ghost in our hearts and an ambush in the city?" Saito Ryuki frowned and asked dissatisfiedly: "If you were Ando Moritsuki, would you still seize the city? Surely not! We will fail our plan."

"So lord..." Hiroone Nori seemed to understand what Saito Ryuki meant, "Do you want to remove the ambush in the city, and then let Takenaka Shigeji come in and see the appearance of no one in the city, and lure the Ando family to attack?"

"That's right," Saito Ryuki nodded, "I will withdraw all the ambush in the city, and the troops will be stationed in the military camp outside the north gate. There will be no entry to the city without my order."

"But lord!" Taken's waist was straight and interrupted the words of Ryuki Saito and reminded: "Although this way, we can prevent Takenaka Shigeji from seeing through the reality and reality, our ambush is indeed gone! At that time, Takenaka Shigeji and Ando Mori will cooperate inside and outside, how can we resist? Inabayama Castle may really change hands!"

"I'm not so stupid after listening to what I said!" Saito Ryuki waved his hand and signaled Taken to shut up, "Take Nakatsushi must have a different plan to bring people into the city. But he only has seventeen people and cannot cause any storm in the city. He needs a large army to control the entire city. However, the Ando army outside the city of Xicheng did not build siege equipment at all, and there was no way to use the city wall of Inayayama Castle. In the final analysis, Takenaka Shige must find a way to open the city gate from the city and put the Ando army outside the city of Xicheng."

"So, although I left the army outside the city," a faint smile appeared on the corner of Saito Ryuki's mouth, "but I will let all the senior commanders and samurai who had learned about my plan lead their confidants to leave the army and garrison in the city!"

"The key defense is the Tenshou Pavilion, which is imprisoned by Yu Qiuping and the Nishi Castle Gate." Saito Ryuki pointed to the three key positions in front of the downward view of Inabayama Castle hanging on the wall. "These senior generals and their trusted samurai are not large in number, and as long as they are properly ambushed, they will not be discovered. And when Takenaka Shigeji saw that the army was stationed outside the city, he would not be suspicious."

"Although they are not large, they are still more than enough to deal with the 17 people of Takenaka Shigeji," Saito Ryuki told his plan: "At that time, Takenaka Shigeji will definitely try to open the city gate and let the Ando army enter the city. We will directly ambush Takenaka Shigeji with those senior generals and their elite samurai at the Ximen and capture him directly! Then use this as a reason to attack the Ando army outside the city!"

"So that's it." Hiroki Hiroki suddenly realized when he heard this, "Lord, this plan is very wonderful!"

"Why are you still standing there?" Saito Ryuki laughed with satisfaction, "Come on my instructions to act!"

In the evening, Takenaka Shigeji, who had been waiting for a long time, finally got permission to enter the city. He and the sixteen followers around him carried a small bag, with medicine on the upper floor, and the lower floor was filled with weapons and ignition sulfur, etc.

"Please search." Takenaka Shigeji naturally walked to a guard and opened the package for him to inspect.

"No need, Lord Takenaka, I dare not offend him," the guard waved his hands repeatedly, and handed over the command arrows and seals to Takenaka Shigeji. "When you need to leave the city, you only need to show the command arrows and seals."

"Thank you." After Takenaka Shigeji nodded and thanked, he led sixteen followers into the city and walked towards his younger brother's yashiki. As soon as Takenaka Shigeji left, Queen Mother Komui Gen came to ambush near the West Castle with his flag-born warrior. Along the way, there were countless ninjas and secret whistles staring at Takenaka Shigeji's every move.

"You go and get some water," Takenaka Shigeji ordered a few attendants to walk towards the stream in the North City, "You go and get some food," and then ordered a few attendants to walk towards the markets in the East City and South City. The attendants understood what Takenaka Shigeji meant, nodded understandingly, and then left in all directions.

After a while, the attendants who were secretly sent by Takenaka Shigeji to investigate the city returned to Takenaka Hakusaki's house.

"How is it? What's the situation in the city?" Takenaka Shigeji asked softly.

"There are no troops stationed in every dangerous place and important place, and the commanding heights." The attendants whispered, "You can see from a bell tower over the other side of the Castle, there are nearly 2,000 people in the barracks outside the Castle Gate of the Castle. The Saito family's foot lights in Inabayama Castle are probably all there."

"Doesn't there be any troops in the city?" Takenaka Shigeji confirmed again.

"There is a little bit," the guard scratched his head and tried hard to recall, "In total, there may be only a few dozen of Saito Ryuki's samurai's samurai who are maintaining order, but the army absolutely does not have one!"

"That's it..." Takenaka Shigeji nodded silently, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "You are not suspected, are you? Is anyone here to interrogate you?"

"No, absolutely not!" The attendant waved his hands quickly, fearing that the master would doubt their abilities: "We are well-behaved and have not done anything out of order, and we will never cause suspicion, and there are no people from the Saito family to investigate us."

"Okay, there is no need to send someone to inform His Highness Ando, ​​the plan will be the same."

"Waiting for the sunset, we start to act."

·

At the same time, a large number of generals, senior generals and their confidants were gathered around Saito Ryuki, in the Tianshou Pavilion.

"The people from Shigeji Takenaka have already investigated the whole city. Another person quietly ran up the bell tower and looked outside the city. Our army outside the north gate must have been seen by them." Takenyao's straight light reported to Saito Ryukiyoshi, "It seems that no abnormality was found, and they did not send anyone out of the city to contact Ando Motsuyu."

"Okay, you did a good job." Saito Ryuki nodded and praised, "Then teacher, Lord Zhuyao, I'll leave it to you."

"What about you, lord?" Hirohiro Hiroki asked with some concern.

"I'll bring people to the prison," Saito Ryuki sneered, "I have a premonition that Takenaka Shigeji will come to the prison to save people in person."

"Wait for the night," Saito Ryuki clapped his hands and looked at the shaking sun to the west, "The sun is set, and the show is about to begin."

·

At this time, the Saito family barracks left behind were left without a leader and panic.

In the past few days, the orders issued by the above have been very strange. First, they were transferred to various dangerous places in Inaya Mountain City to ambush, and this afternoon they were suddenly transferred back to the barracks outside the North Gate, and I don’t know why. Their generals and the superiors of the General of the Secretariat seemed to have been issued a silent order, and hesitantly refused to tell them anything. There was only a vague hint that seemed to be related to the Ando family army stationed outside the West City.

The Footballs are not fools, and they also understand the conflict between the Simino family and the Saito family. The Simino family had joined forces to undermine Saito Ryuki and even sent people to monitor his every move in Inayayama Castle. Their lord launched a coup a few days ago, seized Ando Moriju and regained control of Inayayama Castle. Although Ando Moriju was released soon, these Footballs also understood that Ando Mori would never give up and would definitely find a way to take revenge.

They privately speculated that they had asked them to ambush in the city before, but they were worried that Ando Mori would suddenly rush into Inabayama Castle to seize the city.

But this evening, all the generals, senior generals and their confidants in the army were transferred away, leaving only a confused lieutenant. The biggest official position here is a small lieutenant, who is not subordinate to each other and cannot make up their minds at all. The messy environment and sudden departure and no orders made the atmosphere in the military camp a little nervous, and everyone was worried and speculating about what was about to happen.

·

At the beginning of the hour of the 17th February, the sun completely submerged into the horizon. The entire Daoye Mountain City also became dim, leaving only Tianshou Pavilion and three gates with torches for lighting.

The three gates of Inabayama Castle were tightly closed, and only twenty guards were left for each gate. There was no defense on the walls of Ninomaru and Motomaru, and the gates of the two urns were not closed, allowing people in the city to move freely.

At the Shigeji Takenaka Hashiki, the sixteen attendants of Takenaka Shigeji had been armed. At the same time, Takenaka Shigeji sat on the futon next to him with his eyes closed. The attendants familiar with the master knew that this was the position the master was thinking, so they did not disturb him and silently waited for the opportunity to take action.
